CRIME Knife incident occurs at Jet Lag BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com A knife fight at Jet Lag, 610 Florida St., led to the injury of three Jet Lag employees and two arrests early Friday morning. Police are still looking for two other suspects in relation to the incident. According to witness Betsy Cutcliff, Overland Park senior, staff members were herding people out of the bar at 1:40 a.m. when she noticed four men surrounded by staff members outside the club. She said the men appeared drunk and did not want to leave. When the argument escalated into a physical fight, one of the men pulled out a knife and threatened the staff members who were trying to calm the situation, according to Cutcliff. "Someone came into the bar and started screaming that he had a knife." Cutcliff said. At that point, Cutcliff said, a staff member pushed people back inside the building and locked the patrons inside. Cutcliff said that while they were locked inside, someone started a rumor that a gun was involved, and the atmosphere inside the bar became chaotic. "Some of the girls were crying because they thought they were going to die," Culff said. Police officers arrived after the incident at 1:48 a.m. and blocked off the parking lot preventing many patrons from leaving. thought they were going to die. Curtin said. She said they were locked inside the bar about eight minutes before a staff member with blood on his face carried a man into the building and took him to the back. Then, another staff member told everyone that if they didn't work at the club, they needed to leave immediately. Cutcliff said some of the patrons were anxious to leave because they were underage and feared the police citations. Three staff members suffered minor injuries during the altercation, police officer Todd Polson said. He said when police officers arrived on the scene, two of the suspects had fled. According to police reports, one of the men arrested, 29-year-old Stanley Williams, had five warrants out for his arrest. He was also charged with battery, disorderly conduct and obstruction in relation to the incident. The other man arrested, 25-year-old Norman Harrison, was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer. Police are still looking for the two men who fled. One is described as a 30- to 35-year-old black male. He is $5'10''$ to $5'11''$ and 200 to 250 pounds. He was last seen wearing a red leather jacket with a sports logo and blue jeans. The other suspect is unidentified. Cutcliff said she was surprised the incident happened at Jet Lag because it had always been known as a safe bar. Cutcliff said so many people were freaked out because of last week's shooting at Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St. The manager of Jet Lag had no comment on the incident. — Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird 》 LAWRENCE Owner decides to close night club BY RUSTIN DODDrdodd@kansan.com Dennis Steffes, the owner of Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., has decided to close the Lawrence night club. The decision comes after three people were shot Feb. 10 during a skirmish outside the club. "Steffes was extremely shocked and unhappy about what happened over the weekend," Dan Owen, Steffes' lawyer, said to the Associated Press. "He wants to continue to live in Lawrence and be a responsible member of the community. He understands that safety and peace of mind in the community has to come first." Joel Balzer, Whitewater senior, said he went to Last Call a few times during his freshman year. Balzer said he didn't feel unsafe at the club, but he did stop going there. One University of Kansas student said he wasn't surprised by the club's closing. "It was a sketchy club," Balzer said. "I just didn't really like it. I think most KU students knew not to go there." Balzer said he didn't know of any University of Kansas students who had been to the club in the past few years. Two of the people injured at the club were employees while the third was a 15-year-old from Topeka. Steffes released a written statement last week that said he could open a new business at the club's location. Lawrence city officials may still file criminal charges against the owners of the building according to the Associated Press. "He's promised to do different things before." Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson told the Associated Press, in regard to Steffes. "Until we're positive he's out, we're going forward." The incident Feb. 10 was not the first act of violence committed at Last Call. Gunshots were fired outside the club in May 2006, and two separate highway shooting incidents had been linked to the club. In January 2008, Last Call lost its liquor license following a shooting that took place on Highway 10. A similar incident took place on Interstate 435 in Kansas City, Mo. On the night of both incidents, the shooting suspects were reportedly at Last Call before being thrown out of the club.

A majority of senators voted to approve the clickers to improve voting and attendance accountability in Senate meetings. The clickers transmit a signal to a receiver that is hooked up to a computer. Wednesday night at the Student Senate Executive Committee meeting, executive secretary Aly Rodee's computer would not recognize the receiver without an administrator password, which was not available. A bill to fund clickers was originally passed last year, but Senate found it did not provide enough money to buy the equipment. Last summer, senators voted on a second bill, but that bill was vetoed, and the veto upheld by senators. In September, Senators passed a third bill that increased the amount of funding for the clickers. Rodee, Wichita junior who was in charge of the clickers, said the meeting was supposed to be her practice session, and that after months of work, she was upset they didn't work at the meeting. Rodee trained on the clickers on Jan. 23, and at the time, the University-loaned receiver did not work with her laptop. She said at training, when her laptop didn't have the clearance to install the hardware, she just switched computers. Each clicker cost $17, and each clicker must be registered for $35. With 94 clickers, the total cost of the clickers was $4,888. Rodee said the receiver was worth $500 but "I played with the clickers before the meeting and didn't even think about using the receiver." Rodee said. Jon Goering/KANSAN by the numbers $17 Each clicker $35 Each clicker's registration fee 94 Total number of clickers $1,598 Total clicker price $3,290 Registration fee $4,888 Total cost was borrowed from the University because Senate did not want to buy its own. The money for the clickers came out of the Student Senate reserve account, which got its funds from student fees. Rodee said that when the clickers arrived last semester, she worked hours on registering and labeling the clickers. "Ive definitely been putting in overt, and we don't get overt," Rodee said. Currently, voting is done by voice. If the vote is close, senators raise their hands, and Rodene and Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior and student body vice-president, count the hands. Cox said the clickers provided accuracy where votes cannot be mistaken. Tom Cox, Shawnee senior and holdover senator, said he supported Senate buying the clickers because they would improve accuracy and accountability in Senate meetings. "Humans make errors, and errors are unacceptable" he said. "We shouldn't have waited until an hour and a half before Senate to see if the clickers would work," he said. The funds for the 94 clickers comes from student fees. In September, Senators passed a third bill that increased the amount of funding for the clickers. Cox said he wished the executive staff had been more prepared to use the clickers. Wittlinger said that he didn't support buying clickers from the beginning because they were too expensive and were paid for with student fees. He said that the money and time spent on the clickers may have been too "When you're depending on computers and technology, you always have that risk of something going wrong." Faletra said. "The way we count votes has been very effective for many years," Wittinger said. Amanda Faletra, Lawrence senior and fine arts senator, said that technical difficulties happen and she thought Senate would eventually get to use the clickers. much, and that there had always been a way to count votes member by member. Rodee said she had an appointment with Academic Technology Services this week to resolve the problem in time for next week's full Senate meeting. Dan Consolver, director of Academic Technology Services, said that if Rodee's computer was supported by ATS, then all that was needed to fix the problem was a trip by a technician. He said administrative passwords were put on many Senate computers to prevent people from installing outside software on the computers. He said a technician would enter the password and any hardware should work from that point forward.

CRIME Lawrence resident attacks several people at a party Benjamin Alaniz, 20-year-old Lawrence resident, attacked a number of individuals at a party in South Ridge Plaza Apartments, 1732 W. 24th St., sending five to the hospital for injuries. Two of the victims returned to the apartments later that morning and assaulted a 20-year-old male. Police responded to the first assault at 4 a.m. Police reports say the incident occurred during a fight between Alaniz and a 19-year-old male victim.

The two women were arrested on charges of aggravated burglary and aggravated assault. Jessica Wicks Meet your Student Senator with Ray Wittlinger, Student Body Vice-President BY ALEXANDRA GARRY aqarry@kansan.com Ray Wittlinger's first attempt at Student Senate didn't go so well. Wittlinger, Olathe senior, ran for a freshman seat in 2004, but did not get enough votes to secure that election. Later that year, he was asked by a fellow fraternity member if he would like to give Senate another shot, this time, for an open Interfraternity Council seat. "I thought, 'Why not? That sounds pretty fun," Wittinger said. Today, Wittlinger serves as the student body vice-president. Once he got into Student Senate, he said, he fell in love with public service and working with other students. "I've always thought Student Senate was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Wittlinger said. "It's the kind of experience that's rare to have at this age, and it's fun because of how many students I get to interact with." wittlinger got his political start representing the Interfraternity Council and has remained a supporter of the Greek community's interests. He supported last week's passed bill that allows membership only student groups, such as fraternities, to advertise with Student Senate funds. Wittlinger said the Greek community was far from his only cause. "Each senator finds a cause early on" he said. "You see how much potential one issue has to make a change for the better. I found that in campus safety. So often, people think of campus safety as a cause for just women. I've always loved to be involved with campus safety because I knew I could make an impact early on in my term." Irving, CA Student body president Hannah Love's joint platform has focused on academic policies and their effects on students. Wittlinger passed legislation during the summer that reformed the structure of the Campus Safety Advisory Board, which oversees the spending of the $2 campus safety fee paid by each student and the overall safety conditions on campus. "We've really taken on the challenge of making academic policies better for students." Wittlinger said. This includes the implementation of an academic "deadweek" proceeding finals week, a proposal that has not yet come to fruition. Wittlinger, a political science major, can graduate in May, but is considering staying at the University for another year to take some more classes and continue to work with Senate. He said his greatest frustration with Student Senate was the time crunch of a one-academic yearlong term. Whether he stays enrolled at the University or moves on, Wittlinger said public service will continue to be in his future. "We have from May 1 to May 1 to accomplish our goals, and, often, that's just not enough time," he said. "I'm one of those people that can't sit around. I can't back and relax. I need to be working with students, writing legislation, getting things done," he said. "I always feel like I could be doing more." on campus The public event "Junior Day" will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Kansas Union. Registration is required.

SUA THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2008 NEWS >> NATION 3A HALLMARK MEAT PACKI ASSOCIATED PRESS A worker walks on top of cattle carcass scraps dropped into a parked truck at the Hallmark Meat packagerhouse in Chino, Calif. Beef from the supplier was recently recalled by the USDA. Beef: Not what's for dinner in California BY GREG RISLING ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Sunday recalled 143 million pounds of frozen beef from a Southern California slaughterhouse that is being investigated for mistreating cattle. Officials said it was the largest beef recall in the United States, surpassing a 1999 ban of 35 million pounds of ready-to-eat meats. The federal agency said the recall will affect beef products dating to Feb 1, 2006, that came from Chinobased Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. which supplies meat to the federal school lunch program and to some major fast-food chains. Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer said his department has evidence that Westland did not routinely contact its veterinarian when cattle became nonambulatory after passing inspection, violating health regulations. "Because the cattle did not receive complete and proper inspection, Food Safety and Inspection Service has determined them to be unfit for human food and the company is conducting a recall," Schafer said in a statement. Federal officials suspended operations at Westland/Hallmark after an undercover video surfaced showing crippled and sick animals being shoved with forklifts. Two former employees were charged Friday with animal cruelty. No charges have been filed against Westland, but an investigation by federal authorities continues. Officials estimate that about 37 million pounds of the recalled beef went to school programs, but they believe most of the meat probably has already been eaten. There have been no reported illnesses linked to the beef at any of the schools. "We don't know how much product is out there right now. We don't think there is a health hazard, but we do have to take this action," said Dr. Dick Raymond, USDA Undersecretary for Food Safety. HONOR Team celebrates 110th anniversary Members of the 1988 championship-winning basketball team, including assistant coach Danny Manning (far right), are honored at halftime Saturday afternoon during the Kansas-Colorado game. Former players from different eras of Kansas basketball came on the court for the ceremony commemorating 110 years of Kansas basketball. Federal regulations call for keeping downed cattle out of the food supply because they may pose a higher risk of contamination from E. coli, salmonella or mad cow disease because they typically wallow in feces and their immune systems are often weak. VOLLEYBALL BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Former Kansas basketball players, coaches and trainers filled James Naismith Court in Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday, during halftime of the Jayhawks' game against Colorado, to celebrate 110 years of basketball at the University of Kansas. More than 200 former members of the team returned for the celebration. Guests spanned eight decades of Kansas basketball. Players from the Phog Allen era to the Bill Self era stood shoulder-to-shoulder and received applause from the crowd. Recent players such as Wayne Simien (2001-2005) received more applause from the student section. Jayhawk legends such as Bud Stallworth (1969-1972) and Darnell Valentine (1977-1981) received roaring applause from the entire crowd. But the loudest cheering was saved for the members of Kansas' 1988 national championship team. The group came out after a video from the last seconds of their championship game was played. Assistant coach Danny Manning left his clipboard behind at halftime, and celebrated with his teammates. The current players also honored the 1988 team by wearing retro uniforms from the 1988 season during the game. "I love retro," said senior forward Darnell Jackson after the game. "I wish we wore them every game." James Gill, a 61-year-old Wichita resident and Kansas alumnus, said that reliving the team's history was a breathtaking experience for him. "There's all those guys I grew up watching out on the court," Gill said. "I still remember their best moments." Although most students were less than two years old or not even born when Kansas won it all in 1988, they still admired the former players and coaches. "It was a pretty special experience getting to see all the old players and everything Kansas basketball stood for, for 110 years," said Clark Kebodeaux, Olathe senior. The former players and coaches sat on the south side of what was usually part of the student section for the game. A few took over for the students, trying to distract freethrow shooters by waving their arms. Larry Brown, who coached the 1988 championship team, left his seat on a few occasions to applaud the players' work. Brown also visited the current team during its practice Thursday. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said that Kansas Athletics celebrated the anniversary of Kansas basketball every five years. Marchiony said the former team members also attended a pre-game brunch and a post-game banquet as part of the celebration.

More than a year-and-a-half later, both are in contention for Harry S. Truman Scholarships, which would allow each to continue their education and direct them toward a career in public service. On Tuesday, they will find out if they are two of 200 finalists for the scholarship, worth up to $30,000 for graduate school. Reinke, Stilwell junior, and Shriwise, Overland Park junior, are two of 600 preliminary candidates competing for the scholarships, which are given to students training for leadership roles in public service. "I think whenever you do any After narrowing the field to 200, 75 Truman scholars will be chosen in late March. Students who receive the scholarship must commit to three years of public service during the seven years following completion of graduate school. Both Reinke and Shrwise said they intended to go to medical school after graduation and wanted to improve conditions for the less fortunate.

Shrive traveled to Africa to help renovate a school and continue her humanitarian work. kind of humanitarian work, you get in touch with that human instinct in people." Shriwise said. "That aspect of you that you don't want to see someone else suffer, and you don't want to see anyone doing without needs that are basic to their survival and also their well-being, their enjoyment of life." Reinke and Shriwise said their experiences in Africa served as inspiration to continue pursuing public service and humanitarian work. After developing a personal relationship with many of the people in the area where she worked, Shriwise returned to Tanzania this past summer with $10,000 she helped raise to help renovate a local school. Reinke traveled to Juarez, Mexico, to help build a new home for a local family. Reinke said although the family was living in a dwelling constructed of shipping pallets, he was inspired by the strength of their faith in humanity and positive outlook on life. "It's amazing to see them because they have smiles on their faces." Reinke said. "They are laughing, and their kids are jumping on you. They know they are poor, but they don't feel sorry for themselves." Reinke, an engineering major with an environmental concentration, said after medical school and residency he hoped to return to a third-world country to practice medicine while using his engineering degree to improve the quality of drinking water, among other things. Shriwise said she was interested in working within governmental agencies to develop health initiatives that would help bridge health care gaps across the globe. Both said their powerful experiences within other cultures had helped them learn more about themselves and humanity in general. "You kind of become dedicated to living a more simple life," said Reinke, who is a volunteer at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Jubilee Café. "Extravagances and luxuries just don't seem as important anymore." Shriwise said her experience abroad has taught her about the affect financial, mental and emotional empowerment can have on people with few opportunities for advancement. "I think that when you really believe that you can do something, it changes your outlook on the world, and you become a much more active participant in your social environment," Shriwise said. "On top of that, when you can make resources available to people with that drive, then you can really make things happen that just wouldn't have happened otherwise." —Edited by Matt Hirschfeld BATA MISSIONS Aaron Reinke, Stilwil junior, carries the child of a family whose house he helped build in Juarce, Mexico.

L/C Lawrence Athletic Club 1202 E. 23rd AND 3201 Mesa Way • Lawrence, KS • 785.842.4966 OPINION THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS 7A MONDAY FEBRUARY 18 2008 » LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editorial contains questionable information I appreciate The Kansan's candor for looking at new resources to help students on campus, but I am highly disappointed in this editorial reviewing WiKUpedia. The editorial was quick to indict the project for being a part of a Student Senate campaign, and it completely failed to see the value of this project to the community. What the editorial failed to mention was that this resource wasn't written by merely the six administrators but rather the 94-plus registered users and hundreds of anonymous contributors. In three weeks, our resource has exploded from 83 articles to just fewer than 1,000. This is truly KU's project. I am asking students one thing. If you are passionate about something at KU — whether it's a student organization, a living community or a basketball player — write about it. Share what you have learned with future generations of lajhwakes. Don't take my word for it. Log on to www.connectku.com/wiki and read articles on White Owl, basketball camping and the Black Student Union. Students should judge for themselves to see if this resource is valuable to them, rather than worrying about the origins of the project. KU is complicated enough to warrant an encyclopedia, and WiKupedia serves this need. Sincerely, Sincerely, Jarrod Morgenstern Connect campaign adviser and a creator of WiKUpedia Senior in journalism Bottled water safe despite article's claims Nestle Waters takes very seriously the safety and environmental impact of our product. We believe more needs to be done to limit plastic waste. However, a story in Thursday's Kansan makes misleading statements about its safety. Bottled water is safe and regulated as a food product by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). PET水 bottles are deemed safe to use by the FDA and are not a health concern. They do not contain orthophthalates. But reducing plastic in our bottles is only a start. The reality is that used water bottles make up less than one-third of 1 percent of the municipal solid waste in this country. And with less than half of all U.S. households with access to curbside recycling, we are advocating for comprehensive solutions that keep all plastic household containers regardless of what they hold out of landfills. That being said, we recognize that bottled water has an environmental impact, and we're working hard to reduce ours. During the past 15 years, we've reduced our plastic usage by 40 percent. Our new Ozarka Eco-Shape bottle has up to 30 percent less plastic than the average half-liter beverage container and is 100 percent recyclable. SLAUGHTERING ALL LIVESTOCK Sincerely, Jane Lazgin Director of Corporate Communications Nestle Waters North America Blue containers best way to go green COMMENTARY MATT HIRSCHFELD You've seen them: the blue containers in campus buildings that could be the saviors of our lifetime. You can stuff them full of almost everything in students' backpacks, with stuff like newspapers, plastic bottles and magazines. STOP ONE OF THE LEADING SOURCES OF GREENHOUSE GAS Is it time for students to start noticing these blue recycle inducers, or is time up? TYLER DOEHRING Methane emissions from cattle are a major cause of global warming,but for a less-extreme solution to combat climate change,students could use the blue recycling containers. Going green at the University of Kansas is as trendy as Ugg Boots on a warm day. But unlike those furry wannabe hiking boots, the environment is not going out of style. Everyone is conscious of the environment in some way. I don't think there are people out there who are dumping trash out the window for fun. The only real redeming aspect of trying to go green that all students can participate in is recycling in those blue containers. I don't want to confuse being environmentally conscience with tree hugging, though. Do I need to chain myself to a Redwood or attempt to free Willy? Or do I only need to use one sheet of toilet paper when I use the restroom to prove to myself I am trying to go green? When people carelessly leave a light on, I make the effort to shut it off. I consciously turn off the water when I am brushing my teeth and washing my face. I reuse water bottles to the point of good taste. These attempts at being Captain Planet are good enough for me to feel like I am making a difference. But going green is not going to take over my life. I try to save gas. It is impossible, though, to coordinate with my friends who all have differing student, work and social schedules. For now, I'll stick to the closest thing in my life to carpooling: Park & Ride. Time is money, and the time it would take to constantly coordinate with my friends' schedules would be money down the drain. I may not be saving the ozone around Lawrence,but when I am on campus, I do what I can. I would also love to be able to afford a hybrid car, but rent is due in two weeks, and I'm already scrambling. I try to eat well. I cannot afford, though, to shop at The Merc and pay 50 cents for an egg. I'm sure that the chickens that produced those eggs were pampered ever beyond my wildest dreams, but an egg's an egg in my fridge. The blue containers are clearly labeled with what goes where and are located in almost every building on campus. The University employs 10 students for the recycling initiative that involves the blue containers, and a $4 student fee is applied to campus fees each semester for them. Students are paying for it, so they might as well use it. Going completely green is a luxury at this point in my life. It takes time and money, which are aspects of my life that are seldom and too far between. I'll stick with flipping light switches, turning off faucets and reusing bottles until that steady paycheck comes in. But, of course, I'll use those blue containers.

Then one wipe of the hand on the desk, and the next person is sick. Then the next one, and so on, until the entire University of Kansas is sick. Professors should be more lenient in their policies and allow more sick days. This way when students get sick, they can take one or two days off to get better and then go back to class. They wouldn't keep going to school for fear of missing points or getting a bad grade, and in return spread their sickness to everyone else. If the University had a better policy for sick days for students, the University officials never would've had to send out a memo to students begging them to stay home. In bold and underlined, the memo said, "Those who have been diagnosed with influenza should avoid close contact with others and remain in their residence hall, apartment or home until free of fever for 24 hours." The flu and a strong viral infection have been spreading throughout campus in the past few weeks. I am one of the students who suffered from both, I got the viral infection about a week ago. My doctor said drinking water and resting were the only ways I would get better. One of my professors, Doug Ward, said his policy regarding sick days is for the student to just e-mail him and let him know they won't be in class. He said he prefers to have a smaller class, which allows him to be more lenient in his policy making because he knows each student. He said his policy is based more on trust, but he understands how larger classes run into problems. Ward is one of my more understanding professors. Talking to my professors, I found that professors teach larger classes are stricter because some students abuse the system. In a large class, anonymity is a problem because professors can't get to know every student and don't know when a student skips, let alone the reason why. There is no trust between student and professor. But I've been unfortunate enough to get two not-so-understanding professors this semester. Both stated on the first day of class that if you get sick, don't bother e-mailing them. This may have everything to do with the size of the classes, which have 150 to 300 students. But two days isn't enough for most students. I get sick at least three or four times each semester, especially in the winter months. I have been told by my doctor that I have a lower immune system, and I can't fight off infections that most people can fight off. This means I'm usually sick for weeks at a time because I never get better, just progressively worse until I finally go to the doctor to discover my viral infection has turned into strep or the flu. Every time there is an illness spreading throughout campus, I catch it. One of my professors gives us two free sick days, which means the points we miss on those days won't count against us. But if we miss anymore than two days, we begin to lose points. Students who are sick to their stomach, throwing up and running a fever are braving the cold weather in order to get to class and not miss those points. At this rate, with 55 school days left and zero sick days left, it will be a miracle if I make it. Earles is an Olathe senior in journalism.

GA THE UNIVERSITY PART YEARSLY MONDAY FEBRUARY 18,2003 Government Notice: Student Loan Alert PURSUANT TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., DOING BUSINESS AS UNIVERSITY FINANCIAL SERVICES, IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT IT HAS ADOPTED THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL'S NEW CODE OF CONDUCT FOR DIRECT MARKETING OF STUDENT LOANS. THE CODE OF CONDUCT GIVES STUDENTS IMPORTANT PROTECTIONS WHEN THEY SHOP FOR STUDENT LOANS DIRECTLY FROM MARKETERS AND LENDERS. HERE ARE SOME WAYS THAT YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN SHOPPING FOR STUDENT LOANS: 1. Make sure to consider all of your federal loan borrowing options before turning to more expensive private loans. 2. Don't be fooled by mailings from marketers or lenders that are designed to look like they come from the federal government. 3. Don't be enticed to take out loans from marketers and lenders who offer you prizes or sweepstakes. These incentives could distract you from learning the key terms of the loans these marketers and lenders are offering. 4. Beware of "teaser" or introductory interest rates; find out the actual interest rate and whether that rate will change. 5. Make sure a lender answers the following questions before you take out a loan: What will my interest rate be? Lenders often advertise their "as low as" rates,but that may not be the rate you will get. Will the interest rate change? If it will change, is there a cap on the interest rate? What fees must I pay when the loan is disbursed? What is the Annual Percentage Rate (APR)? What will my estimated monthly payment be? What is the total amount I will have to repay? Is there a penalty if I repay the loan early? Can I defer payments when I am in school, or if I am having financial difficulties? How is unpaid interest capitalized (that is, added to the principal amount of the loan) during periods when I am not paying interest? What benefits or rate discounts are offered,and what conditions do I have to meet to obtain the benefits? If benefits are offered based on a certain number of "on-time" payments, how is "on-time" defined? What will happen if I am late with a payment? Will my loan be sold to another lender? If my loan is sold, will the borrower benefits and interest rate discounts be lost?

Balls flew everywhere. Shots missed badly. No one looked sharp. "We were ugh," Kansas coach Bill Self said. After a few minutes, Self called a huddle to see what was wrong and asked the players if they were nervous because Brown was there. Every one of them raised his hand. "You don't want to give him any bad breath about you," jackson said. Darnell Jackson admitted to trying too hard. Thursday might have the team left a better impression on Brown Saturday. Kansas (24-2, 9-2) beat Colorado 69-45 with a dominant defensive performance at Allen Fieldhouse in front of Brown and more than 200 former players, coaches, and managers who were there for the 110 year reunion. All the former Jayhawks had to sit through a game that was bogged down by long possessions and a lack of fast breaks, not typical KU basketball, but that's what Self wanted. When the team prepared for the Buffaloes, he stressed that the players use patience on defense. The patience allowed the jayhawks to control the game. Colorado had just 31 points with five minutes left in the second half. Self estimated that they forced the Buffaloes to shoot with less than 10 seconds left on the shot clock 40 times. "We picked a good day to have average energy level," Self said, "because if you're really into it big Patience is key to beating Colorado. The Buffaloes use a Princeton-style offense that works best when the players can get open on backdoor cuts and screens. If Kansas came out with its usual aggressiveness and tried to anticipate passes, CU players would've had an easier time cutting into the lane. for his task. The keys to defending perimeter players, he said @ KANSAN.COM "We picked a good day to have average energy level because if you're really into it big time that's when they play the best."

"It kind of wears you down because they play the whole shot clock, and it was tough to get out and run," he said. "But I thought we did a good job with it." Having Arthur as a defensive stopper BILL SELF Kansas coach as a defensive stopper for smaller players will be a major benefit for Kansas. Several Big 12 teams use smaller line-ups, including Kansas State, which beat the Jayhawks earlier this year partially because of the play of Bill Walker, an undersized forward. "There are a lot of teams playing small," Arthur said. "We've been playing a lot of small guys lately, and it's kind of tough guarding them and learning the principles of guarding a perimeter player." "He told us to have no wasted days. If you're feeling bad or your stomach hurts, you have to go in there and push yourself." The victory against Colorado helped lessen some of the pain from the Texas loss on Monday and fixed some of Kansas' errors. The Jayhawks, who were outmuscled on the boards Monday, outbounded Colorado by 14. They also made 7-of-14 three-pointers after going 4-of-26 in their last two games. The experience was new for Arthur. He had rarely guarded smaller forwards in games. Fortunately, he was familiar with defending on the perimeter in practice. All week, Arthur guarded Brandon Rush to prepare Kansas doesn't play for another week. Self said the time off would help his team rest and also calm down the fans who were getting worried after last week's loss to Texas. DARNELL JACKSON Senior forward "We still have the second-best record in the country," he said. "Something that's bad sometimes gets blown out of proportion. Losing isn't acceptable but certainly it's part of life in the game of college basketball. It was good to get back and hopefully we can get our swagger back." Jackson said that can happen soon if they stay focused, and because of Brown, he's more motivated than ever to do that. Brown gave Jackson and the rest of the team a message at Thursday's practice, and Jackson took it to heart. "He told us to have no wasted days," Jackson said. "If you're feeling bad or your stomach hurts, you have to go in there and push yourself."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL KANSAS 00 Jon Goering/KANSAN Freshman guard Chakeitha Weldon and sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs lead the Jayhawks off the court following their 62-61 victory against Nebraska.

BJRAINS@KANSAN.COM If you weren't one of the 6,122 fans who supported breast cancer research by attending the women's basketball team's thrilling 62-61 victory against Nebraska on Sunday, you may have missed the game that will save their season. By defeating the Cornhuskers on a Danielle McCray free throw with 1.4 seconds left in the game, the Jayhawks kept alive an opportunity at being one of the 64 teams called on Selection Monday four weeks from today. With the victory, Kansas now has won two in a row and three of their last four games to improve to 15-9 overall and 4-7 in Big 12 play. "We've talked about trying to win 20 all year," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Based on what we did in non-conference that would be 8-8 in the league, and 8-8 has gotten every team in historically every year the Big 12 has been in existence," she said, referring to the NCAA tournament. For the Jayhawks to get to 8-8 in the Big 12, they would have to keep the hot streak alive and finish 4-1 in the remaining five games in the regular season. Henrickson said the team could get in with a 7-9 record if they had "the right combination of seven wins," but it's obvious that the goal remains the same 8-8 mark from the beginning of the season. "That's what we've been talking about a lot lately here," said sophomore guard Daniel'e McCray. "Whoever shows up that night is The Jayhawks' schedule is favorable the rest of the way for a run at the tournament. Victory 16 could come Wednesday night at Texas Tech, a team that is only 2-9 in conference play and sits below the Jayhawks in the standings. Although Texas Tech is 10-4 at home, it has struggled recently and should be a team the Jayhawks can defeat. going to win. There's no given team that's going to win each game or the conference or things like that. We're looking for number 20, which means in the short-term, we're looking for number 16." You could make an argument that all five remaining games are winnable games, but the likelihood of the Jayhawks running the table is very slim. Winning three, or even four, of the five, however, is a very realistic goal. Kansas then travels to play Missouri, the league's last-place team at 1-9, on Saturday afternoon. Both are winable games and would put Kansas back in the thick of the conversation for one of those NCAA bids at 17-7 and 6-7 in league play. Jon Goering/KANSAN "We've got nothing to lose right now," said sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs. "Our goal is definitely the NCAA tournament, and we just have to keep this momentum going. Winning this game was huge." Nicollette Smith, freshman forward, drives between two Nebraska defenders for a layup during the second half of yesterday's game at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks won 62-1 in the last seconds of the game. And it may not be a surprise that the Jayhawk's three biggest crowds of the season have all seen Jayhawk victories.

The dunk contest, bland for so many years as the game's high risers seemed to run out of ideas, was freshened up by some of the most creative aerial assaults in memory.

Literally. After Timberwolves teammate Rashad McCants placed a cupcake with a single candle in it on the back of the rim, Green soared in and puffed out the flame before throwing down a nasty left-hander. Howard started things off with a dunk he has been practicing for two years. Standing on the baseline, he tossed the ball off the reverse side of the backboard, caught it with both hands, and after peering through the glass at the rim, dunked left-handed. That's when Howard stripped off his blue Magic jersey to reveal an "S" on his chest. "I think the dunk contest is back," said Howard. "I don't think people want to see the same old dunks. They want to see some spice." 1-800-KAP-TEST | kaptest/practice Kaplan. The smarter way to prep.

Senior Matt Berner is the team's top utility infielder. Senior Justin Elrill will back Preston Land up at first base. Ryne Price will come in from right field to catch one or two times a week and senior Joe Southers is also expected to catch a few innings. Kansas' backup catcher last season, Joe Servais, transferred to Creighton to finish his college career with his dad, Creighton coach Ed Servals. BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com 1B – Preston Land - .206 AVG/4 HR/27 RBI In past years, coach Ritch Price hasn't been able to play all of his infielders at their natural positions. In an effort to put his best lineup on the field, Price sometimes had to move players to different positions than they'd played in high school and hope their athleticism would take over. Pos - Player - 2007 stats 38 - Tony Thompson - .471 AVG/18 HR/71 RBI [at Galena High School (Reno, Nev.)] C - Buck Afenir - .286 AVG/8 HR/38 RBI 2B - Robby Price - .286 AVG/1 HR/27 RBI Weston White/KANSAN 2 backup infielders First baseman, Preston Land, catches the ball while practicing a pick-off. The Jayhawks have been practicing in anticipation for their Feb. 22 trip to Kona, Hawaii. But this season, with minimal tinkering, Price has been able to put his infielders in the positions that best match their skill sets. starting infielders No changes were made behind the plate, where junior Buck Afenir will get most of the playing time. Afenir started 45 of 58 games for Kansas last year and nearly all those starts were at catcher. SS - Erik Morrison - .296 AVG/7 HR/44 RBI Afentr was one of Kansas' best power hitters in 2007 with eight home runs, 12 doubles, 38 RBI and a .519 slugging percentage. However, his aggressive nature at the plate hurt his on-base percentage, which was only 53 points higher than his batting average. His 12 walks were the least among Kansas' everyday players. Nevertheless, in just 46 more at bats than he had in 2006. Afenir was exponentially better in every hitting category last season. Price hopes Afenir will make similar strides this season. "The thing we talk to Buck all the time about is his on-base percentage, because he very rarely walks," Price said. "If he can take the final step and be more selective at the plate. I think you'll see his power numbers, his on-base percentage and his slugging percentage go up — he'll improve in every area of the game." Junior Preston Land will start at first base for the third consecutive season, determined to prove last season was an aberration. Land experienced significant drops in nearly every offensive category last season as his batting average flirted with sinking below the Mendoza Line. NATION After taking last summer off from baseball, Land is mentally and physically ready to be an offensive leader again for the Jayhawks. Price shares Land's expectations and has Land penciled in as his cleanup hitter for Kansas' series with Hawaii-Hilo this weekend. Sophomore Robby Price has shifted from third base to second base this season to occupy the spot vacated by his older brother Ryne, who has moved to right field this season. While shortstop is technically Robby's natural position, he fits the mold of a second baseman, and it should suit him better than third base did. That's not to say Robby struggled at third base. On the contrary, Robb had only 11 errors at the hot corner as a freshman, starting all but one game for Kansas. Offensively, Robby didn't produce the power numbers coveted for corner inffielders, but he still posted the fourth best batting average and hit total of Kansas' everyday players, was third in runs and on-base percentage, and tied Ryne for the team lead in walks. At second base, Robby is reunited with his former double play partner, senior shortstop Erik Morrison. Although last year was their first season together in college, the two played together a few summers in California. Morrison said they first played alongside one another when Robby was 15. In all, Morrison estimated the two played at least 250 game up the middle together. "There's gonna be a lot more leather flashed, that's for sure," Morrison said. "I don't feel like I have to hold anything back on any feeds to him. We've got a few things up our sleeves." As for Morrison, the Kansas coaches know what to expect from the lone senior in the infield. With 24 home runs in his career, Morrison is tied with Ryne Price five home runs behind former Jayhawk Travis Metcalf for the Kansas all-time home run record. But Morrison's leadership will be every bit as important as his bat this season. One of the most vocal Jayhawks. Morrison has provided guidance for freshman third baseman Tony Thompson, who should see most of the action at the hot corner. And Morrison is the perfect player for Thompson to have in his ear. When Morrison was a freshman, he started 62 games at third base. Morrison said Thompson has welcomed any advice he's had to offer. Not that Thompson, a two-time, first-team all-state infielder, needs too much help. - Edited by Daniel Reyes "He's got real good hands and fields the ball out in front of him," Morrison said. "You don't really see that with younger guys. He's come in here a step ahead of a lot of other infielders I've seen in the past." Lefty locks in LA victory LOS ANGELES — Phil Mickelson now has left his mark all over the Left Coast. Mickelson held on long enough for Jeff Quinney to self-destruct on the back nine Sunday at Riviera, closing with a 1-under 70 to win the Northern Trust Open and complete an impressive collection of trophies in California and Arizona. Super Bowl lawsuit filed A year ago, "Lefty" was poised to win in L.A. until he bogeyed the 18th hole and lost in a playoff against Charles Howell III. This time, he was steady down the stretch as Quinney faltered, and won by two shots for his 33rd career victory, 16 of those on the West Coast. NEW ORLEANS — A lawsuit filed Friday by a former St. Louis Rams player and others seeks millions of dollars in damages from the alleged taping of Rams practices by the New England Patriots before the 2002 Super Bowl. The Patriots won the game 20-17 in the Superdome. The $100 million suit, filed on behalf of former Rams player Willie Gary in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, names the Patriots team owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick. Judges rules in favor of steroid dealers SAN FRANCISCO — A judge overseeing the BALCO steroids case has ruled against the government and said BALCO founder Victor Conte and Barry Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, can keep evidence prosecutors turned over to them from the investigation.

SOFTBALL Associated Press Jayhawks return 3-2 from tough weekend invitational 91 BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com Photo courtesy of Kansas Athletics The Jayhawks got off to a great start in the desert, but suffered two late-inning losses on their final day of the UNLV Invitational tournament. Dougie McCaulley, junior outfielder, helps the Kansas defense during the UNLV invitational tournament last weekend. The Jayhawks won the first three games and lost the last two late in the games. The Jayhawks' offense exploded for four home runs and 14 runs in the first three games of the tournament. The tables turned on Sunday when the Jayhawks could muster a mere three runs in two games. Brittany Hile, freshman catcher, Betsy Wilson, senior outfielder, Ally Stanton, sophomore outfielder and Amanda Jobe, sophomore first baseman all hit home runs in the tournament. On Sunday, though, the Jayhawk offense had a tough time gaining any momentum against Seton Hall and host UNLV. The Jayhawks could only manage five total hits in those two games compared to 20 hits during the first three games of the tournament. Coach Tracy Bunge said the offensive struggle was due to poor offensive adjustments made by the lavihawks in the final two games. Coach Bunge was very pleased with the pitching staff, as she continued to see improvement by all three of the Jayhawk pitchers. "Our pitching continues to be very good across the board," Bunge said. She was especially pleased with freshman pitcher Allison Clark, who she said continued to improve in her first few games as a Jayhawk. The pitching staff is very balanced, as Clark, sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelka and junior pitcher Valerie George all earned a victory in the tournament. "All three of them at times have looked like our number one," Bunge said. UNLV Invitational results The two losses the Jayhawks suffered were tough because they came in the late innings of the ball game. Seton Hall took the Jayhawks into extra innings and scored three **Feb. 15:** vs. Oregon, W 6-1 vs. Portland State, W 3-2 **Feb. 16:** vs. BYU W 5-3 **Feb. 17:** vs. Seton Hall (8) L 3-2 vs. UNLV L 2-1 runs in the top of the eighth. The Jayhawks came back and scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth, but they fell short in their rallying effort. The Jayhawks had an early one-run lead on UNLV, but a homerun by UNLV's sophomore shortstop Jaci Hull in the bottom of the seventh inning spoiled the victory for the Jayhawks. "We didn't take advantage of what opportunities we had," Bunge said. The late inning losses will prepare the Jayhawks for more adversity as the season rolls on. "I hope that it gives them a little motivation to work even harder." Bunge said. Both losses were tough for the Jayhawks, but they have been playing a high level of competition. UNLV is ranked 23rd in the ESPN com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll. The Jayhawks also beat two teams, Oregon and Brigham Young University, who were just outside of that poll. Bunge was happy with the win against BYU because they were such a tough team. Bunge complimented BYU's offense and said it was a good quality win, where the offenses were battling back and forth. Bunge said the Kansas defense improved in the UNLV tournament and she was happy about that. The offensive inconsistencies are one thing Bunge hopes to improve upon going into the next tournament. She said the team needed to make quicker adjustments on offense. "Different kids are stepping up at different times," Bunge said. Next up, the Jayhawks head to Texas for the Houston Invitational tournament. Bunge said the competition will continue to get tougher as the Jayhawks get further into the season, which will help them prepare for the tough competition they'll face in the Big 12 conference.

Larry Brown, the coach and architect of Kansas' last NCAA championship in 1988, was at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of that title, and 110 years of Kansas basketball. "Now it's our chance to be a part of something great," senior forward Darnell Jackson said after admitting the Jayhawks didn't want to disappoint Brown and the rest of the 1988 team in attendance. "As long as we just keep doing what we're doing, everything will be fine and the tradition will continue" Kansas' basketball tradition was on full display Saturday 70 K COLORADO old coach, Williams, to reminisce. "When he started talking about the individual guys and the teams he kind of got a little emotional," Robertson said. — at times overshadowing a some-what run-of-the-mill victory against Colorado. Another former Jayhawk, Wayne Simien, walked into Allen Fieldhouse Saturday 10 minutes before the game, carrying one of Kansas' newest fans — his daughter Selah Renae. Simien, who's rehabbing an injury and gearing up for NBA free agency, said he'd been impressed by Kansas this season. "She's only 4 months" Simien said. "I'm trying to teach her the Rock Chalk Chant before the ABCs. My wife doesn't like that." "It reminds be a lot of the last two "Now it's our chance to be a part of something great. As long as we just keep doing what we're doing everything will be fine and the tradition will continue." "You look around the room, and you see the '50s teams and '60s teams and '70s teams getting together hugging each other", said Ryan Robertson, who played at Kansas from 1996-2000. With the players and cheerleaders decked out in retro uniforms, the game played second billing and seemed to simply be a reason for more than 200 former Kansas players to return to Lawrence to celebrate 110 years of Kansas basketball. Players representing the coaching eras of Phog Allen, Dick Harp, Ted Owens, Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self lined the court at halftime and were introduced individually. Brown and his group of NCAA champions were introduced last. Robertson watched the game next to old teammate and college roommate T.J. Pugh. He said he spent the week reflecting on Kansas basketball, and he even called his DARNELL JACKSON Senior forward Florida teams," Simien said. "In the point production and the top-to-bottom depth of the team, I'm definitely pulling for them and watching every game." Junior guard Mario Chalmers, Kansas' leading scorer Saturday, said the Jayhawks embraced playing in front of the old players. "There's a lot of tradition here, and now we have a chance to be a part of something great," Chalmers said. "Hopefully, we can add to that tradition as a team." Minutes after Kansas' victory, coach Bill Self reflected on Brown, the coach who gave Self a job as a graduate assistant at Kansas in 1985-86. He said the basketball program was easy to fall in love with. "There's something different about this place," Self said. "Whoever we recruit is never going to be the best player to ever play here. Wilt (Chamberlain) played here. Who ever coaches here is never going to be the best coach — with all due respect to coach Brown — we have the father of basketball coaching (Phog Allen) that was our coach here. To me, it's being a caretaker for everybody else's hard work." —Edited by Sasha Roe Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur hangs on the rim for a moment after making a reverse dunk in the second half. Arthur scored eight points and had two assists. >> MEN'S BASKETBALL Prime Plays FIRST HALF 8:57 15:10 Brandon Rush throws an alley-oop to Darrell Arthur, who throws it down with a reverse slam. This game didn't have much running, but Kansas still had its fair share of dunks. Levi Knutson makes a threepointer to pull Colorado within five at 21-16. The Buffaloes stayed close for a little while. 6:16 Sasha Kaun ends a nearly four-minute field goal drought for the Jayhawks with a basket in the paint. This dry spell shows that Kansas played ugly on Saturday, too. 0:00 Halftime. More than 200 former players, coaches and managers get honored on the court. Saturday wasn't about the Colorado game. It was about the past 110 years of KU basketball. SECOND HALF 18:2 16:26 Finally another highlight. Russell Robinson finds Darnell Jackson for an alley-oop. Kansas leads 34-20. Robinson takes a charge from Colorado's Dwight Thorne II. Defense like this made the game easy for the Jayhawks. 12:40 Prettiest play of the game. Arthur gets another alley-oop, this time from Sherron Collins. He has to stretch his arms out really far to catch this one. 2:22 Tyrel Reed finally gets some serious playing time and makes good use of it. He takes a charge and hits a three-pointer. Jon Goerina/KANSAN Junior guard Mario Chalmers draws a foul on Colorado guard Richard Roby during the first half of Saturday's game in Allen Fieldhouse. Chalmers led Kansas with 13 points, shooting 3-for-5 from three-point range and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. KANSAS 15 Bill Self said that the best part of the 110-year reunion was that Jayhawk greats like Bud Stallworth, Dave Robisch, Darnell Valentine and Wayne Simien stood shoulder to shoulder with walk-ons like T.J. Whatley, Scott Novosel and Chris Zerbe. Self said fans understood the contributions of every player. HIGHS HALFTIME REUNION the HIGH low THE FUTURE With 8:51 to play in the second half, freshman guard Tyrel Reed entered the game. Reed, who hadn't played since picking up one minute of court time against Missouri on Feb. 4, shared the court with freshman Cole Aldrich and sophomores Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins. The Burlington native finished with six points on two three-pointers. Self said that Kansas needed a fifth guard to contribute, and Reed — BLOCK PARTY The Jayhawks finished with eight blocked shots, but the most impressive block of the day was called a foul. Darrell Arthur almost took out a computer on press row with a vicious swat in the second half. Freshman Cole Aldrich led Kansas with three blocks, and Sasha Kaun — who had one block — tied Paul Mokeski for 10th on the all-time blocks list with 163 career blocks. whose been dealing with nagging ankle injuries — might see more minutes. RICHARD ROBY One fan displayed a sign that endorsed Senator Barack Obama. The high/low has no problem with Obama, but let's try to keep partisan politics outside of Allen Fieldhouse. The sign wasn't even the best Rock Chalk pun of the day. That award goes to the people behind Chipotle's "Rock Guac Jayhawk" advertising slogan. LOWS Every day, it's becoming clearer and clearer that Roby should have declared for the NBA draft after his freshman or sophomore season.

Kansas wore the retro uniforms on Saturday, and a reporter asked Arthur if he would have wanted to make the uniforms extra retro by wearing short shorts. THE FUTURE "Sure, if that's all we had," Arthur said. Tyrel Reed, who has played one minute since Jan. 26, got eight minutes of playing time on Saturday. He scored six points on two threepointers. Cole Aldrich also made the most of his time. He scored six points and had four rebounds and three blocks in 14 minutes. BLAST FROM THE PAST Aaron Miles wasn't at Allen Fieldhouse to celebrate the 110-year reunion, but Saturday marked the anniversary of a special day for him. On Feb. 16, 2003, Miles came very close to a triple-double, finishing with 14 points, nine assists and nine steals against Iowa State.

NO. 20 TEXAS A&M 70, TEXAS TECH 56 COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Takia Starks had a career-high 29 points and Texas A&M took advantage of mistake-prone Texas Tech for a win. Texas A&M (18-7, 6-5 Big 12) has won five of its last six games and the loss is Texas Tech's fifth straight. Texas Tech (14-11, 2-9) has committed at least 17 turnovers in four of the five losses in this skid. Dominic Seals led Texas Tech with 18 points and eight rebounds and LaVonda Henderson added 12 points.

Hoosier victory renews fan faith With coach Kelvin Sampson's job status in question after being accused of five major NCAA infractions Wednesday, Indiana (21-4, 10-2) desperately needed a victory to stay in contention for the Big Ten title and to salvage something from one of the bleakest weeks in the program's history. BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Erte Gordon scored 28 points and broke Indiana's freshman scoring record Saturday night, leading the 13th-ranked Hoosiers to an 80-61 victory over No. 10 Michigan State. A day after university officials announced they would conduct another investigation into the allegations against Sampson, including providing false and misleading information to NCAA investigators, fans offered their own opinions. BY MICHAEL MAROT ASSOCIATED PRESS Some of the colorful signs supported the Indiana coach. Others reflected the disgust that has emerged after the school's image was tainted by a phonecall scandal. Despite the offcourt trouble, fans were unified in supporting the Hoosiers, and Indiana responded with one of its best games of the season. Michigan State (20-5, 8-4) was led by Drew Neitzel with 21 points as the home team won for the seventh straight time in the series. The Spartans have now lost two straight after losing at No. 19 Purdue on Tuesday. When D.J. White went down with a left knee injury late in the first half, a bad week suddenly appeared to be getting worse. The Hoosiers sealed the outcome with a 12-4 spurt to make it 57-41 with 13:43 left in the game, and the Spartans never got closer than 12 the rest of the way. After trailing 15-4 early, the Hoosiers used a 10-3 run to tie it at 18 and a 19-6 run to build a 37-26 lead with 2:55 left in the first half. Gordon broke Mike Woodson's school scoring record for freshman, 500 points set in 1976-77, late in the first half. Gordon now has 520 points this season.

The lottery is a process for choosing the first groups in the door at men's basketball games. Groups at the lottery get to pick a poker chip with a number on it for every five members, with a maximum of six picks per group. The group with the lowest number on a chip gets to be the first group in the fieldhouse for the next game. More than 40 camping groups made their way to Allen Fieldhouse for the 8 a.m. lottery. Some students walked there from their residence halls, while others drove their vehicles on city roads that had yet to be cleared of snow. On the way back from the lottery, one car spun around 180 degrees on the slippery road near the intersection of 15th and Iowa Streets. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said he wasn't surprised that campers toughed out the conditions to make it to the lottery. "It's a big game, and they're pumped for it," Marchiony said. "Not only is it against Kansas State, but College Gameday's going to be in town too, so we expected high student attendance." Campers who showed up early had trouble getting into the fieldhouse, leaving some thinking students would have to conduct the lottery in the parking garage next to the fieldhouse, which they had to do for the Missouri game. Eventually, an employee let students come inside. Campers had to conduct the lottery in the hallway because the women's team was practicing for its game that day. "A lot of smaller colleges are lucky to get as many people for a game that we had for a lottery in the snow two weeks before the game," said Jeff Peckover, Winona, Minn., sophomore. "There were some cars on the side of the road that didn't make it down the hill," Samson said. Omaha. Neb., sophomore Adam Samson said that even more students would have been at the lottery, but their cars got stuck on the way. Campers will not have to trudge through the snow to get to the fieldhouse for camping. They voted to suspend camping until Wednesday. Sanson said that the trek through the snow was worth it because his group will be the ninth in the door for the Kansas State game. Edited by Katherine Loeck Elitel NASCAR driver Ryan Newman smokes his tires after winning the 50th run of the Daytona 600 auto race Sunday at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Newman wins first race in years DAYTONA 500 ASSOCIATED PRESS BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYTONA, Fla. — Another thriller, another heartbreak at the Davtona 500. For the second straight year, The Great American Race came down to the last lap. This time the drama rewarded Ryan Newman, who didn't won in 81 races over more than two years, and team owner Roger Penske, long the king at Indianapolis but never a winner at Daytona. Newman waited while the big stars fell back one by one. Then, with only Tony Stewart ahead of him, Newman got a "push from heaven" from teammate Kurt Busch to take the lead on the final lap. "Kurt was the push from heaven that made it all happen," Newman said. "Without a doubt, he could have easily gone three-wide and split us through the center and made one heck of a mess there. But he chose to be a teammate, and that was the most honorable thing that he could do." It only took him 24 years to get it. Penske, the most successful owner in open-wheel history with 14 wins in the prestigious Indianapolis 500, now has a victory in NASCAR's showcase event. And it came in the 50th running of the Daytona 500, in thrilling fashion, with a last-lap pass for the second consecutive year. When the car owner finally made it to storied Victory Lane, he was met by Rick Hendrick, NASCAR's most powerful owner. "I talked to Rick earlier today, and I said, 'You've been in the winner's circle so many times, if we win will you give me your hat?' He was the first one down here. So I thank him," Penske said while wearing that very cap. "We've been working here for many years. Certainly Kurt and the teamwork was just unbelievable. It's a big day in our life and for our whole team." The Penske cars were quiet for 199 of the 200 laps, letting Joe Gibbs Racing stars Stewart and Kyle Busch race each other in a battle of Toyotas. With one lap to go, it appeared Stewart finally would get his first Daytona 500 win in his 10th try. Running out front in the high line, he held off the two Penske cars as they circled the famed speedway. But as the Penske teammates closed on in him, Stewart didn't feel safe running alone without any allies. At the last second, he dropped low on the track to line up in front of Kyle Busch. The JGR teams had talked all week about the importance of teamwork, and Stewart thought he'd need Busch to make it to the checkered flag. But the decision backfired in the blink of an eye. Stewart couldn't hook up with Kyle Busch fast enough, and the two Penske cars steamrolled past him on the top. "I don't think there's too many people that would take the white flag and like finishing third," a dejected Stewart sighed. "We tried to win the Daytona 500. That's all I can say. I just made the wrong decision on the backstretch. Newman pulled away for his first win since New Hampshire in September 2005, while Stewart had to settle for third. It's hard to explain. It's probably one of the most disappointing moments in my racing career." The disappointment was also evident on Greg Zipadelli, who starts his 10th season with Stewart in NASCAR's longest active driver-crew chief pairing. "My intention was to get in front of Kyle and pull Kyle along with us. "We've worked all winter, we've worked the last 10 years, I've worked my whole life," Zipadelli said. "It's just the way that it is. There's a lot of good people that haven't won this race. I'm not going to get hung up on it. I'm going to work as hard as I can, and when it's done, if we have our turn, we will. "It won't be because we didn't work at it." The failure was a setback for Toyota, which seemed destined to win its first points race in NASCAR's top series behind the strength of JGR. The Gibbs organization joined Toyota this season, giving the manufacturer instant credibility after an embarrassing 2007 debut. Based on a strong month of testing and Denny Hamlin's win in one of Thursday's qualifying races, the JGR cars set the stage for an intense battle with powerful Hendrick Motorsports for the biggest prize in NASCAR. "There's no doubt the Gibbs guys feel dejected tonight," Kurt Busch said. C 》 MLB Kansas City Royals pitcher John Bale catches the ball as he takes part in a fielding drill during baseball spring training in Surprise, Artz., Sunday. Pitcher in run for Royals rotation ASSOCIATED PRESS SURPRISE, Ariz. — After appearing in 26 games for Kansas City last season as a relever, John Bale has lost 20 pounds and is contending for a slot in the Royals rotation. Bale, a 33-year-old left-hander, started nine games in 2003 with the Cincinnati Reds, 82 games in the minors and 30 games, including 25 in 2004, in three seasons with Hiroshima in the Japan League. "I'm definitely happy about being given an opportunity to start," Bale said Sunday. "I know they'll make the best decision at the end of spring, whether they think I'll be best for the pen or in the rotation." Bale was 1-1 with a 4.05 ERA in 40 innings last season, striking out 42 and walking 17. He struck out seven New York Yankees, a season high for a Royal reliever, in 3 2-3 innings on Sept. 9. "It all comes down to where I can help the ball club the best in their eyes," Bale said. "The bottom line is that it comes down that I just want the ball. I want to contribute any way I can. I'm going to do my best to take this opportunity and run with it." Bale began last season on the disabled list with a strained ligament in his left shoulder, and while rehabbing in the minors he hurt himself again. He did not make his Kansas City debut until July 6. New Royals manager Trey Hillman, who managed the past five seasons in Japan, became acquainted with Bale when he pitched for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. "He certainly looks a lot better and in better shape," Hillman said. "I didn't see him last year, but was comparing to what I saw of him in Japan two years ago. He's got the mind-set about the potential of being in the starting rotation. He's conditioned his mind and his body with that in mind for the season." As a reliever, Bale mainly threw fastballs. "You're going to mix in a lot more off-speed pitches as a starter," Bale said. "All my pitches feel good right now. I'm even going to keep sidearm on occasion to give a different look. The more angles you have, the better it is, make the hitter think he's facing two pitchers instead of one." Notes: RHP Brian Bannister returned to camp after missing the previous three days with the flu. "The stomach cramps were killing me," Bannister said. "That's as sick as I ever felt." Bannister was restricted to throwing off a flat surface on his first day back. While the first official full-squad workout is not until Tuesday, all but seven of the 63 players already have reported to camp. Those not yet in camp are OF Jose Guillen, 2B Mark Grudzielanek, ST Tony Pena Jr., 1B Mike Stodolka and IFs Albert Callaspo, Jason Smith and Mario Lisson. MLB BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS Fuentes serves as setup man He's not going to gripe about not getting his wishes, though. TUCSON, Ariz. — Brian Fuentes would rather be a $6.5 million closer than a $5 million setup man. "I'm happy to have a job. There's a lot of guys right now that don't have jobs," said the three-time All-Star, who lost his role as Colorado's closer last summer but rebounded as an eighth-inning specialist to help lead the Rockies to their first NL pennant. The left-hander, who made $3,535,000 last season, lost his arbitration case on Friday. He said it was difficult sitting in on the hearing but that he wasn't going to let that affect him on the mound. "I'm not worried about what was said. It's time to move on. I'm looking forward to getting a ball Fuentes arrived at camp a day late because of the hearing in Florida. in my hand," Fuentes said Sunday. "I'm not a businessman, I'm not a lawyer. I'm a ballplayer." "I think the situation he's in is probably not the ideal situation for him. But he knows how he fits in on the team right now," manager Clint Hurdle said. "And I told him we're going to go in the season as we finished up last season." That means serving as Manny Corpas' setup man. Fuentes said he'll approach things the same way no matter which inning is his. "My job is to come in and get guys out," he said. "So, whatever role they plan on using me in is totally up to them. I'm their pawn, so let me know what you want me to do and I'll do it." The Rockies remain high on Fuentes; it's just that Corpas saved 19 of 20 games and posted the lowest relief ERA (2.08) in club history after taking over as closer in July. Then, he saved five of six games in the postseason with a 0.87 ERA. Fuentes, who posted a 3.08 ERA and saved 20 games himself, was lights-out in August and September. "We wouldn't have had the success we had down the stretch if he wasn't able to do the job he was able to do in setting up Manny" Hurdle said. "And you never know what the future holds and he's going to prepare himself to win ballgames. He's in a good place." But for how long? Fuentes wants to close again and he's eligible for free agency after this season. "Every year the (trade) deadline comes up, my name's mentioned, so I think my resume I'm going out for a while," said Fuentes, owner of the second-longest tenure with the Rockies.

"I think this was another example for our team that emotionally we've grown up," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. In the first-half, neither team took a very large lead but Kansas controlled the game. Freshman forward Nicollette Smith made 2-of-3 three-pointers and added a pair of free throws to lead all scorers at the half with eight points. Kansas went into the halftime up 31-26. Center Krysten Boogaard, who came in averaging 16.8 points the last four games, was held to just two first half points thanks to the Cornhuskers' double teams. However, with the freshman struggling, senior forward Taylor McIntosh stepped up and provided a low post presence. "Welcome back, Taylor," Henrickson quipped. "On a night when Krysten was human, it was great to see Taylor step up and play with some confidence." McIntosh poured in 11 points, pulled down seven rebounds and also recorded four assists, two blocks and two steals. To get her points, McIntosh shot a perfect 5-for-5 from the free-throw line, a stat envied by everyone on the Cornhuskers bench. Nebraska shot a dismal 17-of-34 from the charity stripe, while Kansas took advantage of its trips, going a solid 10-of-13. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18,2008 "I think free-throw shooting is the funniest thing in coaching." Nebraska coach Connie Yori said. "You don't always understand it - why do you make them on this day and then don't make them on that day? This is The Jayhawks opened up a nine-point lead with six minutes to go, but Cornhusker guard Yvonne Turner scored eight points in under two minutes to bring her team back. the day we didn't make them, and it was costly for us." With 1:30 to play, Turner hit a free throw to put Nebraska up 58-56 but McCray responded with a strong drive and layup. Then guard Sade Morris stole Turner's pass, got fouled and hit her first free throw. Morris missed the second, but McIntosh grabbed the board and laid it in to go up 61-58. Cornhusker forward Kelsey Griffin responded with a pair of free throws, then guard Tay Hester rebounded a missed McCray jumper and was fouled by Morris. Hester started 0-for-5 from the line but swished her first one through the basket. After the second bounced off the iron, Kansas guard LaChelda Jacobs corralled the rebound and passed it to a waiting McCray with 12 seconds left. Henrickson said she knew McCray wouldn't give up the ball, so she watched her star player drive to the basket and draw a blocking foul from Griffin with 1.4 left on the clock. McCray celebrated like the game was already won and Nebraska used two time-outs in a row to try and ice her. "It calmed me down," McCray said of the time-outs. "I just used it to get a breather because I was kind of tired from screaming and jumping up and down after I drew that contact." WOMEN'S BASKETBALL After the buzzer sounded, McCray was swarmed by her elated teammates at half court. "It was real big because this was one of the home games we needed," McCray said. "This was a must-win game." — Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird Young team improves as season progresses BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com Sometimes free throw shooting just can't be explained. Just ask Nebraska coach Connie Yori. As during the course of a 20-point victory in Lincoln in January, Yori's team made an astounding 30 of 32 free throws to blow out the Jayhawks. Sunday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse, the Cornhuskers never found their touch from the line, eventually losing 62-61 while making 17-34 free throws. "I think free throw shooting is the funniest in coaching," Yori said. "You just don't always understand it. Why do you make them on this day and not on this day? And today was the day we didn't make them, and it was costly for us." Although the Jayhawks will count this as the victory that may turn their season around, the Cornhuskers will mark it down as an opportunity lost. While Nebraska missed 17 times from the free-throw stripe, sophomore guard Danielle McCray delivered when Kansas most desperately needed it. With 1.4 seconds remaining and the score knotted at 61, the Big 12's third best free-throw shooter stepped to the line with the game in her hands. After making the first. McCray intentionally missed the second to seal Kansas' third conference victory in its last four games. "We just knocked down and were praying that they would miss theirs," McCray said. While McCray took home the glory, lesser-known Jayhawks stepped up to put her in the freshman forward Nicollette Smith said. "She hit a lot of tough shots for us." "They're an improved basketball team. They are a young team that has made a step." Jacobs finished with with 10 points, six assists and four rebounds and gave Kansas a ball handler with the athleticism to combat Nebraska's Yvonne Turner. Although Turner picked the sophomore's pocket in the backcourt and scored to CONNIE YORI Nebraska coach cut the jayhaws' lead to two with just under four minutes remaining, Jacobs staved calm.

Freshman center Krysten Boogaard congratulates sophomore guard Danielle McCray after McCray sinks the first of her two free throw attempts, which gave the Jayhawks a 62-61 lead with just more than one second to go in the game. McCray led the Jayhawks with 13 points and 10 rebounds, recording her fifth double-double of the season. "We knew it was going to be a great challenge to come in here and beat them," Yori said. "They're an improved basketball team. They are a young team that has made a step." Grad Finale GREAT GIVEAWAYS!! "Like Danielle has grown up emotionally, she has started to grow up emotionally," Henrickson said. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said that in the past she may have had to take Jacobs out of the game to calm down after such a frustrating and costly turnover.

The throwback jersey also has red-, yellow- and blue-striped trim and features a patch recognizing the 20th anniversary of the 1988 championship. Jerseys feature a few number choices, but most feature the number 25, which Danny Manning wore that year. The shorts are back too, but they look a little different from their 20-year-old counterparts. "Fortunately, Adidas had enough foresight to make them a little longer," said Toni Retonde, assistant store manager at Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road. Retonde said that her store sold its first shipment in a week, and received a new, larger shipment Thursday. Prices for jerseys range from $75 for the official replica to $40 for a screen-printed mesh version. Shorts cost between $40 and $55 at local stores and online. Youth jerseys are also available, but Retonole said that the adult jerseys were more popular. Kansas Bookstore, second floor of the Kansas Union, has sold about 50 jerseys and pairs of shorts, according to Mario Bonilla, lead clerk for gifts and clothing. "We've had phone calls for them and maybe 2 or 3 weeks before that. We had to call a few back and tell them we had them in," Bonilla said.

Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said that the University's warning system put in place after the Virginia Tech shooting is sufficient for the University at this time. Those systems, however, are still in the implementation process and the University still does not have a way to control panicking students trying to get off campus. Steeples said that a complete campus lockdown would be out of the question because it was not feasible to simultaneously lock the doors in 150 campus buildings. ors He also said that a faculty training program on how to handle large groups of panicking students is probably not something the University will look into. He added that he didn't think the training would be worth the effort. Steeples said the chance that Kansas will be the next target of a school shooting is incredibly small. He said that of the thousand state universities in the United States, only three major shootings have happened at state universities in the last year. "Putting on my professor hat, I would say the threat has such a low statistical probability that I am willing to live with it," Steeples said. "Putting on my admin hat, I would say that the chances of this happening at my campus in a year are 1 in 1000." According to KU Public Safety statistics, only three weapon violations were reported between 2004 and 2007. This information is from the same report that said only 13 liquor law violations occurred on campus during the same three year period. "Are we prepared to handle a shooting as well as Northern Illinois? I think so." Steeples said. "Do I think we could handle it better than Virginia Tech? I think we can, and I certainly hope so." Steeples said that from what he understood, Northern Illinois had police in the building within two minutes of the incident. He said that whether the University of Kansas would be as efficient would depend on the location of the patrolmen during the incident and the level of pedestrian - the incident and the level of pedestrian traffic at the time. Ryan Lierz, Seneca junior, said he felt safe on the KU campus. "Maybe it is because I am naive and I don't think it will ever happen here," Lierz said. "Well, I hope and pray it won't happen." Lierz said he can see how the University's text-message system could cause widespread panic that could lead to other problems. Graphic by Kevin Grunwald/KANSAM "It is hard to say what I would do without actually being in the situation," Lierz said. "I think I would want to know where the shooter was." University officials reacted to last week's shooting at Northern Illinois University via a news release. In it, administrators expressed condolences for the victims and counseling options for KU students. Steeples said they were not doing anything new to ensure students that the University would be secure in the event of a gun threat. Steeples added that two loudspeakers were installed on Jayhawk Boulevard to warn students as well. Steeples said the three security systems set up after the Virginia Tech shooting were emergency e-mails, messages through fire alarm speakers and an opt-in emergency text message program. He said they are all still being set up, but provide a strategy in unpredictable high-threat situations. The KU Public Safety Office determines how the systems are used according to Steeples. Steeples said the fire alarm system was highly effective because it allowed the police to speak to students directly in order to control their reactions. This technology allows police officers to use the fire siren speakers to give voice commands about the emergency. The fire alarm system is available in more than 40 of the 150 buildings on campus. He said all buildings with more than several dozen student capacities have these alarm systems in them. According to Steeples, they are considering adding more alarms based on the installation feasibility. Steepsled said the University tested their text system once already and it worked fine. He said that the system could send about The text message system, which was implemented at several other universities, including Florida and Purdue, is still in the process of development. In January, Florida sent out 35,727 messages in less than 30 minutes, according to Florida University Relations. I 10,000 texts in around 30 minutes, but the message has to go through a chain of command. The Public Safety Office would talk to the provosts who would then arrange a conference call with the police and University Relations. When they decide what message relations. When they decide what message to send, University Relations calls the Information Technology department to request the alert. Steeples said this all happens within a matter of minutes. 11 Steeples said that in the case of an extreme emergency, Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost for academic affairs, had the ability to skip the conference call and order the alert herself. Lierz said that he would like to get the text if something major happened, but he didn't sign up for it when it was advertised because he didn't want to receive weather alerts and other warnings the University might use the system for. do not get a message two weeks ago when the University had a snow day because of dangerous road conditions. Steeples said that the University is still developing a policy on when to use the texts to inform students about school closings.

Q&A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2008 with Kristin Hoppa/KANSAN Professor Frank Farmer English Department Oscar C. Lennard BY ABBY OLCESE aolcese@kansan.com Frank Farmer, associate professor of English, teaches composition and rhetorics at the University. Farmer said he enjoyed music and played guitar and mandolin in his free time. How long have you been teaching at KU? I arrived in 2000, and came from East Carolina University in North Carolina. Did you always teach at the college level? I taught high school for a couple of years and later, I got my Ph.D. in English from the University of Louisville. My speciality is rhetoric and composition, which basically means that I teach a variety of writing courses, as well as courses in rhetorical history and theory. What made you want to come to KU? This semester I'm teaching English 360 (Advanced Composition) and English 580, (Rhetorics of Everyday Life). I also teach the practicum for new English TAs, as well as an occasional seminar. It was an attractive job and I was aware that KU had a strong English What classes do you teach? program. It was an advanced position in my field, and it offered me the opportunity to work with some people whose scholarship I greatly admire. What do you do in your spare time? I play guitar and listen to music. I'm a reader, and I like to have conversations about politics, music, and sports. How long have you been playing guitar? I've always been fascinated by its clean sound, and especially how the mandolin doubles as both a melodic and percussive instrument. I also enjoy old-timey and bluegrass music, and it's a pretty prominent instrument in those forms. I'm interested in traditional music. And I love Irish music. I guess you I've been playing it for 30 years or so. I've also been playing mandolin for about five or six years. What kind of music do you like to play? What made you want to take up mandolin? You've said you come from a family of stagehands, and you were one for a while. What made you switch to teaching? could say I'm mostly drawn to the acoustic genres. (Laughs). I wasn't a very good stagehand. I was always more interested in writing, reading and scholarship. What books are you currently reading? I just finished "Unspoken: A Rhetoric of Silence" by Cheryl Glenn. It's about the rhetorical importance of well-placed silences — for example, how there are any number of the silences that between words sometimes carry more meaning than the words themselves. What books helped shape you into the person you are today? -Edited by Sasha Roe Even though my speciality is rhetoric and composition, most of my research involves the work of a Russian thinker named Mikhail Bakhtin. His writing was an important influence on my scholarship and my life. At the heart of his thinking is the notion of dialogue. In terms of my work in particular, his ideas suggest ways we can use dialogue to better understand rhetoric, discourse, and the teaching of writing. I'm also drawn to the ethical implications of his ideas.

Garth Myers, director of the Department of African and African American Studies, hopes that might soon change. THE AFRICAN CHINA MUSEUM OF INTERNATIONAL ART Mindy Rickette/KANSAN Mukhtar Shehu Shagari, the Deputy Governor of Sokoto State in Nigeria, speaks to students from the African and African-American Studies department on Monday. Shagari said parts of Nigeria were safe for students to study abroad in. The U.S. State Department issued a travel warning for Nigeria in November 2007, and its against University policy to send students to countries with travel warnings. But with political and civic leaders from Nigeria visiting this week, Myers said he hopes students realize that parts of the country are completely peaceful. "It's a huge country, and it's a federal republic, and I think over the course of time, hopefully the whole country will settle down," Myers said. His Excellency Mukhtar Shehu Shagari, the Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, will lecture on the political and economic developments of Africa's most populous country at 9 a.m. today in room 150 JRP Hall. Shagari's home — Sokoota State — is in northwestern Nigeria. Myers said most of the violence is confined to the Niger delta region in southern Nigeria. "It's like saying there's a rebellion in Florida, so you can't send students to Oregon," Myers said. Myers said he hoped Shagari's visit would help foster positive University relations with Nigeria. "If we can build a relationship with those regions that are experiencing stability, then maybe we can have students start going there, and we can have research exchanges with faculty." Aminu Gusau, a native Nigerian who teaches in the African and African-American Studies department, said Shagari's visit could benefit students and University faculty members alike. "It's important to have speakers who have practical experience in African politics." Gusau said. Shagari, who is traveling with special assistant Jaafar a Sadeeq and Nigerian businessman Muktar A. Shinkafi, gave an informal lecture on Monday to a small crowd at the Kansas Union. He said that past dictatorships had torn apart Nigeria, but there's reason for optimism. The former minister of water resources for Nigeria's federal government said there's gaining confidence in the financial sector and an improving water supply in parts of the country. Shagari, who will also tour the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics and meet with Chancellor Hemenway during his visit, said more than 65 percent of Nigerians had access to water. Shagar also said Nigeria had improved dramatically since the fall of its last military dictator in 1999, and although Nigeria's democracy is in its infancy, Shaqari said it's steadily evolving. "A democratic government, no matter how bad it is," Shagari said, "is far better than a military government." -Edited by Mandy Earles RADBURGH INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION Study groups coordinate with classes Former Missouri Gov. Bob Holden addresses the audience at a Spring 2007 study group. New policies some professors are implementing in their classes requires students to attend study session at the Robert J. Ole Institute of Politics. DOLE INSTITUTE JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com For the first time, students can receive class credit for attending study groups at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Nicole McCleskey, political researcher for Public Opinion Strategies, will speak today as the first in a series of political leaders and analysts who will lead the study groups this semester P. H. SMITH CONTRIBUTED PHOTO McCleskev The Dole Institute has arranged a union between KU classes and the study group that any professor can use as part of his or her curriculum. The initiative is an effort to increase student participation and form a relationship between the Institute and KU academics. The study group has brought various influential speakers to the University, including "Good Morning America" Kate Snow, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and President Bill Clinton. The group lets students spend personal time with major political influences. Each semester, the group talks about a specific topic of importance on Capitol Hill. Jennifer Schmidt, senior fellow at the Dole Institute, said that the study group could become a second thought because students had so many obligations. If it is integrated into classes, Schmidt said, it would move from the list of things they want to do to things they have to do. This semester's topic is gender, race and religion in politics. "We are confronting these issues that we have never had to confront before, all three in the same presidential cycle," Schmidt said. Mary Banwart, an assistant professor of communication studies, designed her class around the study groups. The groups make politics come to life in a way that can't be captured in a textbook, she said. "The study group is super responsive to students." Banwart said, adding that the continuation of her connection with the groups would be dependent on whether the students enjoyed it. Schmidt said politics was something that you fell in love with. She said that when she went to Washington as a young adult, she was captured by the intellectual stimulation and history. She said this group helped bring that atmosphere to the University. "It is not TV or a big audience," Schmidt said. "Students really get the chance to sit down and talk with these people." mer lead pollster for the Republican State Leadership Committee, will have a hands-on discussion about her experience in polling, mock trials and community attitude research at today's study group. Beka Romm, Bennington senior, said she originally came to the group for the free cookies but kept coming because the group engaged her in political discussions that students don't normally get access to. McCleskev, today's speaker and a for Romm, who got her job as the Dole Institute's student outreach coordinator from one of the fellows at the institute, said the networking opportunities were incredible. She said the discussions were determined informally by the students, which made the speakers more approachable. The study group is funded by the Dole Institute and is still open to all students and faculty. - Edited by Katherine Loeck LAWRENCE Journalist shares her passion, expertise for the environment Simran Sethi joins city's task force BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com When it comes to working with environmental issues in the media, not many people have as an extensive résumé as Simran Sethi, the Lacy C. Haynes professor-in-residence in the School of Journalism at the University of Kansas. Sethi, an environmental correspondent for NBC News and former MTV News anchor, has found her home in Lawrence and works to lower greenhouse gas emissions on the city's Climate Protection Task Force, a position she was appointed to last week. "I just want to bring the knowledge I have to improve the quality of life here in Lawrence", she said. Sethi attended Smith College in Northampton, Mass., and like most college students, had no idea what she wanted to do with her life. Sethi, a journalist who covers environmental issues, said she never took a journalism class and failed the only environmental studies class she had enrolled in. "I just wasn't that interested at that point," she said. "I remember thinking, 'this practices. In her spare time she is writing a book about the effects of American consumption. After the show was canceled, she was a host for a weekly podcast for TreeHugger.com, which won the 2006 Vloggie award for "Best Green Vlog" under her management. "The purpose of the podcast was to show people that you can care about the environment and still be cool," she said. Today, Sethi is a contributing environmental correspondent for NBC News, and is featured on the Today Show, CNBC and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. She also hosts and writes for Sundance Channel's, "The Green and EcoBiz". "It's about looking at how we consume things in our everyday life from tennis shoes to water bottles," Sethi said. "It's about how those things are created, how we use them and where they end up when we're done with them." "She's a very strong person and I think she could reach contacts far and wide that can really help us in our cause." DANIEL POOL Sustainability advisory board director was nothing to do with me; I'm only 19-years-old." Sethi landed her first internship at MTV working in its documentary division when MTV was in its infancy. "My goal was to always talk about social issues from the rise in Neo-Nazism to HIV testing," Sethi said. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in sociology and women's studies in 1992, MTV's management wanted her to work full time. At MTV she learned the art of storytelling, she said. She returned to school to receive her Masters of Business in sustainable management from the Prestidio School of Management in 2005. Sethi returned to MTV where she produced and anchored the news for MTV Asia and created several documentaries including "Sex in the 90s," "Help Not Wanted," and "Hate Rock." While earning her master's, she also worked as a writer and host for the PBS series, "Ethical Living," a series about sustainable business S e t h i came to the University about a year ago to teach as a professor-in-residency for two years in the School of Journalism. In Sethi's short time at the University, she's started a media and the environment class. She has worked as a volunteer for the city's sustainability advisory board and recently she has been appointed by the mayor to work on the city's Climate Protection Task Force. Daniel Pool, director of the sustainability advisory board, said Sethi was one of mayor Sue Hack's best choices for the job. "She's very knowledgeable and has a lot of connections around the country," Pool said. "She's a very strong person and I think she could reach contacts far and wide that can really help us in our cause." Now that Sethi is on the Climate Protection Task Force, she said she plans to live here for a long time. first session "All of the environmental change that needs to happen needs to happen on a local level," Sethi said.

A tornado damaged or destroyed about 200 homes and businesses in Prattville, Ala., outside Montgomery, where Mayor Jim Byard said crews searched for people trapped in the wreckage. No fatalities were immediately reported, but two people were critically injured, said Fire Department official Dallis Johnson. Twenty-seven people had minor injuries, officials said. "It's very possible we may have more injuries," he said, saying that some trapped people had been rescued. A 35-bed mobile hospital unit was set up outside a Kmart to treat victims with minor to moderate injuries so that hospitals could take those with serious injuries, Dr. Steve Allen said. Topped utility poles and storm debris littered the area, northwest of Montgomery about 5 miles off Interstate 65. Shelters opened at churches, and school buses shuttled storm victims out of the stricken area to the city center. David Shuppe, 18, assistant manager at Palm Beach Tan, said he and a co-worker barely made it into a laundry room before the roof fell in and the wind tossed shopping carts aloft. Sonya Daniel.

Shoupe said, standing beside his white Lexus, with a front windshield cracked by debris and the other windows shattered. About 9,000 homes and businesses lost power in Prattville after storms swept across the South, damaging homes elsewhere in Alabama and in the Florida Panhandle. DAVID SHOUPE Palm Beach Tan manager A tornado destroyed four homes in Escambia County, Fla. About 60 other homes, businesses and storage buildings were damaged to varying degrees, said county spokeswoman Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama postponed or canceled campaign stops ahead of Tuesday's primary. much of Iowa and Wisconsin, as well as flood warnings in parts of the two states. The conditions forced shopp ing malls, libraries and churches to close. Heavy snow and slush closed Kansas City International Airport for almost six hours, the longest closure in its 35-year history, authorities said. Dozens of flights were canceled. The severe weather in the South comes on the heels of a tornado outbreak this month that killed more than 50 people in several states, including Alabama. McCain needs Romney's delegates WASHINGTON — Not so fast, Sen. McCain. ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE OF AIR SERVICE POLITICS John McCain's campaign issued a statement last week claiming the Arizona senator had surpassed the number of delegates needed to secure the GOP nomination for president, after Mitt Romney endorsed him. ASSOCIATED PRESS President hopeful, John McCain, R-Ariz., tries to hear a reporter's question Monday as he talks in flight from Houston to Appleton, Ws. At right is his wife Cindy McCain. John McCain sure looks like he has the nomination all but wrapped up. But he isn't 'here yet, and here's why: It will take 1,191 delegates to secure the Republican nomination at the national convention this summer. McCain has 908 delegates, including those won in primaries and caucuses as well as endorsements from party leaders who automatically attend the convention. Romney has 253, according to The Associated Press tally. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has 245 delegates, placing him behind a candidate who isn't even in the race anymore. Texas Rep. Ron Paul has 14. Together, that's 1,161 delegates, which could make it tempting for some to put McCain over the top Tuesday evening if he fares well in primaries in Washington state and Wisconsin. A total of 56 delegates will be at stake. in general, Romney has little authority over his delegates after he releases them. The vast majority haven't been named. Once they are, most will be free agents at the convention, free to support whomever they choose. GOP rules, however, say McCain still has work to do. lobbying Romney's former supporters. At GOP conventions during the weekend in Louisiana and Michigan, McCain picked up at least 55 delegates. Huckabee has said he won't quit until somebody reaches 1,191 delegates. And a few more Huckabee victories in upcoming primaries could prove embarrassing for McCain. Afterward, a McCain aide declined to say whether last week's statement was a formal declaration of victory in the race for the nomination. The rules vary state to state. But McCain's campaign is aggressively Musharraf's approval falls ISLAMABAD, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf appealed for national unity Monday as early unofficial returns showed the opposition doing well in parliamentary elections aimed at bolstering democracy and calming political strife. PAKISTAN ASSOCIATED PRESS But after fear and apathy kept millions of voters at home, there were worries no clear winner would emerge, resulting in a government too fragmented to rally the nation against Islamic extremists. Private television stations reported strong showings by the two main opposition parties in early unofficial tallies, a trend conceded by the party of President Pervez Musharraf. Final official results were not expected before Wednesday. Balloting proceeded without major attacks, although the opposition party of assassinated ex-prime minister Benzir Bhutto claimed that Officials confirmed 24 deaths in election-related violence over the previous 24 hours, mostly in the country's biggest province of Punjab, the key electoral battleground. Musharraf's approval ratings have plummeted since his declaration of emergency rule in November and his purge of the judiciary to safeguard his re-election by the previous parliament a few weeks earlier. Going into the election, two public opinion surveys predicted Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party would finish first, followed by the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-N of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. The pro-Musharraf Pakistan Muslim League-Q was in third. Musharraf was not on the ballot, but the election was widely seen as a referendum on his eight-year rule including his alliance with the United States in the war against terrorist groups that many Pakistanis oppose. An overwhelming victory by the opposition could leave Musharraf politically weakened at a time when the United States is pressing him to take more robust action against al-Qaida and Taliban fighters based in Pakistan's restive northwestern region along the Afghan border. 15 of its members had been killed and hundreds injured in scattered violence "deliberately engineered to deter voters" have lost," party spokesperson Tarari Azeem said. "This is the trend." TV reports said two of the president's close political allies — the chairman of the ruling party and the outgoing railways minister — both lost seats in Punjab, which has been a stronghold of the pro-Musharraf Pakistan Muslim League-O party.

St. Lawrence KS 4 OPINION THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7A TUESDAY FEBRUARY 19, 2008 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2008 GUEST COLUMN Have any recent bands lived up to The Beatles' fame, talent? The movie-musical "Across the Universe" featured 33 Beatles songs, which highlighted the band's social impact on the 1960s. The musical, with all its sexy men and (less importantly) artistic brilliance, has me questioning whether my generation has produced an artist influential enough to be worthy of a movie musical 50 years down the road. The Backstreet Boys had a long run of melting the hearts of 13-year-old girls. The band's song "Larger than Life," later became the tune for Viagra commercials. Et tu, Aspertame? Real Taste zero calories CALORIE FREE The Backstreet Boys' greatest hits could be written into a musical rendition of Brokeback Mountain (as hinted by the band's song titled "I Want It That Way"). Still, there is something to be said for this boy band and the way the members shamelessly coordinated matching outfits. And that something is "Tom Cruise." Simple Plan's soon-to-be greatest hits could be integrated into a movie filled with outcasts, self pity and razors. Actors for this potential musical would have to be recruited from the underground society of emo boys, also known as the women's jean department at Macy's. Needless to say, the audience for the film would be reduced to the small population of boys without circulation in their prostates. Sublime may have a shot at a trippy stoner musical, where the audience gets to explore life on the reefer. Unfortunately. Sublime's songs are valued by kids across the United States and Canada (where the weed is better) who are too chemically and herbally messed up to remember the lyrics. TYLER DOEHRING But all is fair because Sublime was too chemically and herbally messed up to write the songs in the first place, hence the lyrics "I'm too stoned to write this song." But what about Say Anything or other musicians of the indie rock persuasion who have provided my generation with the most awkwardly awesome ring-tones with the lyrics like "I called her on the phone and she touched herself?" Britney Spears, who has continued to surpass new artists on the musical charts, and like Madonna, will most likely remain timeless. Although with songs like, "I'm a Slave for You," "Hit Me Baby One More Time" and "Gimme More," her greatest hits are inspiration enough for a high-class musical porno starring her younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears. I am not sure there exists a general movie theme amongst songs influenced by phone sex and a skinny, mean man. Could this be a song written in reference to members of Simple Plan? But this psychotic, previously bald vessel of talent may surprise the media. After all, it's Britney, bitch! Diet colas, artificial sugar will drown us COMMENTARY Sincerely, Emily Gilley Louisburg freshman JENNY HARTZ Many people believe government conspiracies or nuclear war will destroy mankind. But what if it is something much closer to home? What if it is food? I was on my Yahoo! homepage the other day (a healthy alternative to porn), and I found a video from ABC News. Diane Sawyer (again, a healthy alternative to porn) was interviewing a behavioral scientist from Purdue University, about a study conducted on rats. The study was done to discover the effects of diet sodas. It seems the rats that drank diet sodas (their favorite probably being Diet Sewer Dew) gained more weight than the rats fed normal, sugar foods. The scientist said two big studies found that drinking one can of diet soda a day can increase a healthy adult's risk of pre-heart disease, metabolic syndrome and weight gain by 30 to 40 percent. Now I'm rethinking the "Do The Dew" slogan. It sounds more like the dew is going to do me in (coincidentally, also the plot synopsis for "The Sopranos"). The video and the more detailed article on abncnews.com say this could implicate more than diet sodas. The effects could possibly come from any food with artificial sweeteners because they change the brain's chemistry. The body prepares itself for a huge calorie load when we eat sweets, but it is confused when it tastes the sweet diet soda but gets no calories. I've heard rumors about the effects of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners before. It's not the weight gain that scares me. I work out five times a week, climb the mountain behind Wescoe two or three times a day and jump up and down a lot when refs call unnecessary fouls on the basketball team. But it's the idea that these sweeteners change my brain's chemistry that freaks me out. Sugar cookies that call to me by spelling out my name in sprinkles may make my hips bigger, but that's what fat does. Fat does not fool my body into thinking it's anything but a lump of heavy, useless material (Ironically, that's what a lot of us to do our mothers). We need to stop drinking diet sodas. We need to stop eating anything with excessive amounts of artificial ingredients. In moderation, there is nothing wrong with full fat, full sugar food. It is natural, real food made for our natural, real bodies. To give a good analogy, let's use fake baking. Tanning beds will make you look tan, but you can still tell it's fake. It still exposes you to the same health risks that tanning in the sunlight has. Jenny Hartz is a Stilwell junior in creative writing. Our bodies are meant for sunlight, and sunlight in a certain amounts is good for the body. I challenge everyone on campus to find healthy alternatives to diet sodas and any other drink with artificial sweeteners. Just because we don't see the immediate dangerous effects of diet sodas doesn't mean they won't happen. I know for myself it won't be easy. Now I have to find healthy alternatives to keep myself awake in class like sleep or sudoku. once thought safe but now know are lethal, such as pesticides, radiation, boy band music, etc. History is littered with events we COMMENTARY MP3 generation rules music's fate JAKE LERMAN Music as we know it is dying, and it will not be going gentle into that good night. It's been a long time coming, but the industry has one foot in death's door, and the other shoved up some innocent listener's ass. The problem is that the creation of peer-to-peer file sharing networks and bit-torrent sites has separated two sides of the industry that have been joined at the hip since the very beginning: the art and the product. The Internet has revolutionized the way listeners get music. The age of record shops has passed, and the higher-ups in the biz have their knickers in a twist about it. As a response to its impending doom, the Recording Industry Association of America has decided to do the only thing it knows how to do: squeeze every last cent out of its loyal listeners. A band doesn't need a fragile jewel case and a disc anymore to get its music heard. It claims to be doing this on behalf of artists who say they are suffering dearly from the illegal music sharing. I am not surprised to find this sharp rise in concern for artist's pocketbooks now that the executive's slice of the pie is also shrinking. According to music mogul Steve Albini on the music activism site downhillbattle.org, the record industry has been bilking its artists out of cash from the cradle to the casket. Most of us have illegally downloaded at least a song or two from the Internet, and others have furnished their iTunes libraries with a plethora Still, the situation has left students in some dangerous water. of plundered tunes that freckle the web on par with porn. Breaking the law has been a foundation of collegiate life since the dawn of time, and for those of us who consider it to be a nightly pastime, the invisible threat of the big bad record companies is hardly enough to slow our clicking fingers. But as music lovers are finding out, the RIAA has many more resources than the Lawrence Police Department and one huge incentive: those all-important greenbacks. This savage truth has caused people all over the world to seek a solution. Our neighbors to the north have come up with one I find to be the most promising. In a recent article published in the Chicago Tribune it was said that, "The Songwriters Association of Canada is proposing a $5 a month licensing fee on every wireless and Internet account in the country, in exchange for unlimited Imagine how many more M.I.Ps would be dealt out nightly if Lawrence cops were paid on commission. access to all music." For hardly the price of a McDonald's Value Meal, we could listen to downloaded music without having the constant threat of legal action hanging over our heads. The new system would put "$1 billion annually in the pockets of musicians, publishers and record labels," and the cash would be divived up among artists based on "how frequently their music is swapped." Instead of being told what music to like by old suits who don't understand quality, this new system would allow the public to listen to their hearts desire and let popularity go to those who deserve it. The record companies that once smiled at us from the center of vinyl discs have taken on a beastly nature. In their twilight, they've become addicts, and it's up to us to intervene and take the industry in the right direction.

"If you would have given me a blank map without country names on it when I graduated from KU, I'm not sure I could have actually picked Afghanistan on it," Chandler said. Chandler serves as the political officer for the Provincial Reconstruction Team, which is part of the U.S. Embassy. She works in the province of Farah, Afghanistan, which borders Iran. The city of Farah, where Chandler is based, is about 75 miles from the border. Chandler graduated from the University with a degree in human biology. After graduation she didn't know exactly what she wanted to do, so she studied abroad at the University of Kent in England. During her time in England, she realized she wasn't interested in science as much as in international affairs. She took several classes on the subject. After returning to Lawrence and then attending graduate school at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., Chandler worked in the counter-terrorism office of the U.S. Department of State. When her boss retired, Chandler wanted something new. There was an opening in the PRT in Afghanistan, so she applied.

Chandler said. The assignment in Afghanistan lasts about one year, and is essentially embedded with the military. Chandler has been in Afghanistan since May. Chandler's job as the political officer is to work with local officials in the Farah province to help them solve problems. She tries to mentor them and help them do their jobs better, as well as listen to problems from the people. She also keeps the embassy updated on what's going on. "Without people like me reporting back to them, they aren't really aware what's going on out and about," Chandler said. When Chandler heads out into the province, she is not allowed to travel without a military escort. Soldiers are with her at all times and they travel in armored Humvees. She wears civilian clothing and is not armed but has to wear a Kevlar helmet and body armor. "It taken a while to get used to, because the helmet actually weighs CONTRIBUTED PHOTO a couple pounds, and after getting rattled around in a Humvee for a few hours, you start to get a headache from it," Chandler said. Karen Chandler, 1998 graduate, works for the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Farah, Afghanistan. She hasn't had any close calls yet, though. She's very fortunate that her team hasn't run into any trouble, she said. In fact, last week, one of the PRT teams went out to deliver some humanitarian goods to one of the districts and was attacked by a suicide bomber on its way back to Farah. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO ISRAEL Fortunately, the team had only minor injuries. She even saw blood on the ground from the fight. Chandler, political officer for the PRT, helps local officials solve problems in the Farah province. Then, only 12 hours after the attack, Chandler said that she was with the local police officers who had defended the station, some with their kids and all with their rifles propped against the wall, drinking tea and talking about the attack.

She has soldiers continuously around her until she is in a "safe" location, like during a meeting with town elders. Then, they are right outside the doors. She has had some unusual experiences, though. Chandler's team went to an area that had been attacked by the Taliban the night before. She could see the mortar holes and burned-out buildings from the attack on the local police station, she said. Chandler said the girl wanted to be a midwife to save lives and give herself courage. For most of the girl's life, Chandler said, the girl had seen war and had not even been allowed to attend school except for the past five years. worked. When the seven came back, they were amazed that Chandler and her team had left America to come help them in Afghanistan. The embassy sent seven local students on an embassy-sponsored trip to see how the American government Chandler is glad she took the assignment. The local people are positive about the military and even want more of a presence. It helps them feel safer, Chandler said. Chandler has been struck by the bravery of the people there and said that the locals appreciate the American presence in Afghanistan. "I knew it was a very unique opportunity to be able to make a contribution." Chandler said. Her time at the University definitely helped her prepare for this job. She had a great time going to school here and still follows KU basketball. Chandler only missed two games her entire college career and those were because of night chemistry tests. Daily Kansan and a captain on the rowing team. In addition to getting the degree in human biology, Chandler was also on the editorial board of the University Without that experience and appreciation for teamwork, Chandler said, she would not have learned how to work in the environment she's in now. Her time studying abroad through the University's program definitely shaped her future, she said. After she finished graduate school in Washington D.C., she wanted to get a job and live a normal life after being in school for so long. She never imagined she would end up in Afghanistan. "This is definitely not normal." Chandler said with a laugh.

"If any team in America has reached Freshman center Cole Aldrich gets a defensive rebound over a Colorado player during the second half of Saturday's game. This week is a slow one for the team with only one game, which is at Oklahoma State on Saturday. he is right to its hill for any team," Self said. "There's no team out there, in my opinion, who if they don't get better could win it all. Everybody's got to get better." And finally, Self's team will have the opportunity to do that. Kansas is in the middle of a six-day break from games — it plays "I'm not a believer that we'll play in a game and we'll automatically get better. You have to work on the things you want to improve on." at Oklahoma State on Saturday — and Self intends to use the free time to practice and rest, with the goal of getting better for the stretch run in mind. BILL SELF Kansas Coach "it's hard to get better if you can't practice," Self said. "I'm not a believer that we'll play in a game and we'll automatically get better. You have to work on the things you want to improve on." The plan for preparing for that stretch includes two days off from practice this week and plenty of work on defensive @ Jon Goerina/KANSAN A prolonged opportunity for practice hasn't been available in the last month. "It's about being able to adapt to tough environments," Robinson said, "and being able to turn it around better than we have the last couple of games." "My goal has always been for our team to start getting better in February," Self said, "and hopefully peaking in late February and early March." Saturday, Monday, Saturday, Monday Rebounding was Kansas' biggest weakness in its loss to Texas last week. Afterwards, Self complained about a lack of toughness from his players. Senior guard Russell Robinson saw that his team didn't adjust well enough to the Longhorns' intensity. rebounding when the team does practice. Jayhawks played three games in five days. Nonstop action can lead to fatigue, low energy levels or even illnesses. Self said Kansas had even more reason to wear down in January. It was playing with an undefeated record at the time, something that he said caused the team to deflate. KANSAN.COM See complete photo gallery at kansan.com The game schedule went on like the steps to a never-ending march. At one point, the Despite these problems, the Jayhawks are reaping the benefits now. They're 24-2 and in first place in the Big 12. They have the perfect time to get a break from games and improve for the end of conference play and the start of the postseason. Toughness isn't just something for the players to naturally improve on. Self thinks coaches must develop the attitude. He'll likely spend plenty of time this week teaching his team to be tough, mentally and physically. He wants the players to not get pushed around when they dive for loose balls, run into ball screens or get blocked out for rebounds. He wants them to get quality "... When it comes down to postseason and NCAA tournaments, we have to want that and keep our right mindset." SASHA KAUN Senior center shots during important possessions. "Those are all toughness things," Self said. "You have to try to coach it because if you don't have it, you're not going to go anywhere. And some people have it, but I've never coached a guy who couldn't get tougher. Even the toughest guys can get tougher." Senior center Sasha Kaun thinks he needs to get tougher, along with the rest of the team. This is the week to do it. The Jayhawks have all the time they need to prepare for the rest of the year and, maybe, "It's kind of a mental thing," Kaun said about getting better this week. "This is something that can turn around because improve enough for a deep run in the post-season. when it comes down to postseason and NCAA tournaments, we have to want that and keep our right mindset." Edited by Mandy Earles BASEBALL Former second baseman heads to right field T BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com Senior outfieldter John Allman is batting .336 over the three seasons, Ryne Price in the outfield will join Allman in the outfield. Price, who has traditionally played second base, is now playing right field. While at Kansas, Ryne Price has gone through all the ups and downs as a college baseball player. Price, a senior, had a stellar freshman campaign, starting 60 of 64 games for the Jayhawks, collecting 50 hits, five home runs and 40 RBI — phenomenal numbers for a second baseman. However, a wrist injury derailed his sophomore campaign—forcing him to miss 40 of Kansas' '68 games. Nevertheless, Price managed to hit nine home runs. Healthy again in 2007, expectations were high for Price. Whether or not he lived up to these expectations depends on what stats you focus on. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Starting every game for Kansas, Price had a team-high 10 home runs and a .535 slugging percentage. On the other hand, his 62 strikeouts were nine more than anyone else on the team. Still, he had a knack for getting on base, leading the team with 32 walks and getting hit with 19 pitches, garnering a .421 on-base percentage. On defense though, his 19 errors at second base were the highest on the team by eight. Then again, there were no other worthy candidates to fill in at second, especially to justify taking Price's bat out of the lineup. This year, Price will remain in the heart of the Kansas lineup, but he'll play a couple hundred feet behind second base as Kansas' new right fielder, a position change he's welcomed. backup infielders In addition to his new role as a right fielder, Ryne Price will also play catcher on occasion. When he's behind the plate, freshman Brian Heere is expected to fill in for him. Senior Casey Larson is next in line behind left fielder John Allman and center fielder Nick Faunce. starting infielders Position — Player — 2007 stats LF John Allman — .333 AVE/4 HR/44 RBI CF Nick Faunce — .333 AVE/0 HR/5 RBI RF Ryne Price — .333 AVE/0 HR/31 RBI Able to think less about his glove and more about his bat, it shouldn't take Price long to threaten Kansas' all-time home run record. In three seasons, Price has 24 home runs, which puts him in a tie with fellow senior and California native, third baseman Erik Morrison. "I like right field a lot," Price said. "It's nice being able to go to the outfield, relax and play, instead of having to worry about doing all this stuff in the infield." "If he breaks it, I'll be happy for him, just because he's my boy." Price said. "There's not too much competition. We just want to come through in the clutch more." Regardless of which slugger hits more long balls this season, Price's addition to the outfield will give Kansas a jolt to the power potential of the Jayhawks' corner outfielders. "If he gets there first and we make a regional, I'll be his biggest fan, and if I get there first and we make a regional, I'm sure he'll be my biggest fan," Morrison said. "I definitely can't let him outdo me," Morrison said. "He's been my best friend since we were 12, 13 years old and we've always kind of been in competition with each other, so I can't let him outdo me." Morrison initially shared Price's sentiments. But after some thinking, Morrison's competitive nature took over. Making Allman's durability all the more Opposite Price will stand Mr. Consistency, senior left fielder John Allman. Since his sophomore season, Allman has missed only two games. impressive is the intensity he brings to the field. In Kansas' series with Nebraska last season, he made a leaping catch in foul territory but was undercut by the Kansas bullpen fence and toppled over it. Although, not even that fall could take him out of the lineup. In addition to being a dependable fielder, Allman is also a steady hitter. In 2007, Allman led Kansas with a .333 batting average, 44 RBI and a .449 on-base percentage. His 66 hits were the second most on the team and his 24 strikeouts were the second fewest. fall season. While Allman will be "I definitely can't let him outdo me.

However, coach Ritch Price will give Faune While Airman will be Kansas' everyday left fielder, there is less certainty about who will roam center field.

Eight days ago, Kansas lost to a Texas team that was ranked No. 11 in the nation and blessed with the Big 12 Conference's best back-court. The next day, despondent Kansas fans headed to the sports talk airwaves and Internet message boards in droves, echoing Chicken Little's famous refrain: "The sky is falling!" S six days ago, Kansas State fell to Texas Tech. Sure the game was in Lubbock, where the Red Raiders have dropped only one game all year – but it qualifies as an upset. Wildcat stars Michael Beasley and Bill Walker did all they could, but Texas Tech pulled out its first victory under new coach Pat Knight. The next day, pundits had more to say about Texas Tech's rookie coach than they did about Kansas State's meltdown, and most of the state's attention was focused on the Jayhawks' misgiving than the Wildcats' failure. Kansas State fans endured an ugly loss to an unranked team but didn't push the panic button. Wildcat nation could have-and should have- taken issue with the fact that only three players mustered more than four points against the Red Raiders. Instead, Kansas State fans took the loss in stride. After all, a No. 5 or 6 seed in the tournament isn't bad when you haven't been there in more than a decade. Kansas fans saw a closely-contested battle between two stellar teams and came away utterly shocked when the Jayhawks lost. When fans heard Kansas coach Bill Self question his players' toughness, they raised an uproar and demanded more out of Jayhawk posts sophomore Darrell Arthur and senior Darnell Jackson. If that response seems like an overreaction, that's because it is. But it's a positive. Kansas basketball has set a lofty precedent, and its fans have come to expect victory. Big wins and big crowds have come to define Jayhawk basketball-36 NCAA Tournament appearances and 1,930 total victories might have something to do with it. The 220 former players, coaches and staff members who helped fill Allen Fieldhouse last Saturday are some of those responsible for building one of the most famed legacies in sports. The list is long, and it includes famous names such as Larry Brown, Danny Manning, Bud Stallworth, and Wayne Simien-players and coaches that helped the Jayhawks to plenty of 25-victory seasons and deep postseason runs. The program 85 miles west of Lawrence has some history, too. But the Wildcats' 17 conference championships and all-time greats such as Rolando Blackman and Mitch Richmond don't engender the same reverence as the layhawks' 50 conference titles and larger-than-life figures Wilt Chamberlain and James Naismith. In truth, Kansas fans might be a bit spoiled: spoiled by years of winning and the certainty of a postseason berth each year. This year, fans got accustomed to leaving games satisfied after Kansas started the season 20-0. When the seemingly unflappable Jayhawks hit a small bump in the road, it threw the faithful for a loop and put Kansas' fans passion on display, overreaction or not. "I don't listen to the media reports or whatever, but you could sense a 'what's wrong with Kansas?'", Self said. "We've still got the second-best record in the country and we're pretty good. But one thing that's great about this place is that so many people care." Twenty days ago, Kansas State defeated Kansas and Bramlage Coliseum rocked and rolled like it never had before. Thousands of Wildcat fans stormed the court to celebrate what some dubbed the most important victory in the history of Kansas State basketball. Eleven days from now, Kansas hosts Kansas State. If the Jayhawks win, no one will rush the court.

WEST » NBA Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Notitzki drives to the basket as New Jersey Nets guard Jason Kidd (5) defends in the second half of the NBA All-Star game. The East conference defeated the West on Sunday in New Orleans. All-stars light up the big easy ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — Like tourists who flock here, a few All-Stars departed the Big Easy with souvenirs from a memorable weekend. LeBron James took another MVP trophy back to Cleveland. Dwight Howard headed to Florida a much bigger star. Kobe Bryant left well-rested and nursing the same injured finger that made his visit strictly ceremonial. Jason Kidd strolled out of New Orleans Arena a winner, but not exactly sure which uniform he'll wear next. For three days, superstars bowed to a city in need. And the NBA, a league with an eye on European expansion, boosted its image by helping New Orleans' recovery. "The way the NBA reached out to the community is something I'll never forget." Hornets guard Chris Paul said. Led by James and Ray Allen, the Eastern Conference outplayed their more trumpeted counterparts from the Western Conference and avenged a year-old beating with a 134-128 win on Sunday night. Allen scored 28 points, making three straight three-pointers in the final 3:15 and James added 27, including a did-he-really-do that? dunk in the last minute to lift the East, which is constantly fighting for respect against the West's heavy hitters. Last year near the Las Vegas Strip, the West humiliated the East in a 153-132 rout when Bryant and Co. rewrote the event's record books. However, this time led by Allen's 14 fourth-quarter points and James, the East salvaged some pride and stole some bragging rights. "They beat up on us pretty bad last year," James said. "We didn't want to allow that to happen. We wanted to win." James, who added nine assists and eight rebounds, was named MVP for the second time in three years. "I didn't know he had done all that," said East coach Doc Rivers of Boston. Howard, whose performance in the slam dunk contest had fans buzzing more than 24 hours later, scored 16 on 7-of-7 shooting and Kidd, who could be traded to Dallas in the next few days, had 10 assists. Amare Stoudemire, Brandon Roy and Carmelo Anthony scored 18 points apiece to lead the West, which trailed by 13 entering the fourth but rallied behind Paul, the Hornets' wondrous point guard. Paul's seventh assist of the final period — he finished with 14 — set up Roy's layup to give the West a 122-119 lead. But Boston's Allen, the final player added to either roster, knocked down his second three-pointer in 48 seconds to tie it before Paul answered with a 3 to make the hometown crowd, which was treated to familiar jazz and brass bands throughout the evening, erupt. Allen finally missed and James forced a turnover before coming up with the night's most stirring moment. Slashing through the lane, Cleveland's megastar rose and dunked over several West defenders, much like he did in Game five of last year's Eastern Conference finals in Detroit when he scored the Cavaliers' final 25 points "We had two people on him." Paul said. "But that still wasn't enough." Paul was called for an offensive foul on the West's next trip. Dwyaney Wade hit a layup and Allen scored to make it 131-125. Roy's three-pointer with 8.7 seconds brought the West within three, but Allen made three free throws to close it out. Then with Seattle, Allen played on the West team that thrashed the AP women's top 25 The Associated Press women's college basketball top 25, with first-place votes in parentheses, records, total points and previous ranking.

East last year. "In the locker room guys said we're not going to have that," Allen said. The weekend in New Orleans was about much more than spectacular dunks, a game featuring marginal defense or collecting strings of beads while strolling down boozy Bourbon Street. The NBA came to the Big Easy hoping to help this special city continue its comeback from Hurricane Katrina, the effects of which are still being felt two and a half years since she blasted through.

"Well, I hope not just me, but every All-Star from the East and West was able to put smiles on kids and on families faces," James said. "I think we all know what happened, the devastation down here and to bring the NBA All-Star game here I think it really uplifted the families down here. We had a great time." Bryant, who won MVP honors last year, played less than 3 minutes so he could rest his injured pinkle. The 10-time All-Star dislocated it earlier this month and doctors have advised him to have surgery.

Every Tuesday the Kansan will rank Big 12 teams based on last week's performance and the next week's schedule. Last week's ranking is in parentheses. BU No. 9 Baylor 22-3 [10-2] Last week: at Texas (L), Oklahoma (W) This week: at Iowa State ONE (1) If not for Baylor's 20 point victory against center Courtney Paris and Oklahoma, Kansas State would have risen to number one in these rankings. Although losing to the Longhorns early in the week was disappointing, the Bears took care of business at home against the Sooners in a must-win game. Baylor will get a week to rest before facing off against the Cyclones on Saturday. They should beat Iowa State, but Hilton Coliseum is one of the loudest venues in the conference and the Cyclones are on a roll. C No. 15 Kansas State 18-6 [10-1] Last week: at Iowa State (W), at Missouri (W) This week: Oklahoma, at Colorado TWO (2) Two road games against Big 12 North opponents and two wins for Deb Patterson's Wildcats. If Kansas State can follow up last week's performance with two more wins, pencil them in for the top spot on this list and odds-on favorites for the Big 12 regular season championship. The Wildcats get the Sooners at home where they've lost only once in conference play. The matchup between Marlies Gipson and Courtney Paris will exhibit two of the best post players in the country. If Gipson can get the better of Paris look for K-State to finish the week 12-1. OU THREE (4) No. 11 Oklahoma 18-5 (8-3) Last week: Texas A&M (W), at Baylor (L) This week: at Kansas State, Oklahoma State In the victory against the Aqaies. Courtnev Paris and In the victory against the Aggies, Courtney Paris and the Sooners shot nearly 50 percent from the field while limiting their opponents to 39 percent shooting. Against Baylor those numbers reversed themselves. Oklahoma never got into an offensive rhythm shooting 36 percent and sent their Big 12 South rivals to the free throw line 40 times. This week Sherri Coale and her team won't get a break from the Big 12 grind, but they have another chance to vault themselves to the top of the standings. Oklahoma STATE FOUR (3) No. 16 Oklahoma State 20-4 [B-3] Last week: at Texas Tech (W), Iowa State (L) This week: Texas, at Oklahoma Last week wasn't a banner week for Andrea Riley and the Cowgirls, but they'll have two opportunities to make up for that this week. With two victories, Oklahoma State could officially call this season a success. Not only would two victories avenge their January loss to the Longhorns, but the Cowgirls would also boast two wins over their in-state rivals and a legitimate shot at a top-three seed in the NCAA Tournament. FIVE (5) ATM No. 21 Texas A&M 18-7 [6-5] Last week: at Oklahoma (L), Texas Tech (W) This week: Iowa State, at Texas The Aggies are poised to control their own aggressives are poised to control their own destiny. Though Texas A&M will need to get through this week unscathed, its last three games will be against the likes of Oklahoma State, Baylor and Oklahoma. Two wins this week could give Gary Blair's team the momentum they need to make a late push. The Aggies certainly have the talent, but as their early struggles can attest, talent isn't always enough. SIX (8) Iowa State COLLEGE Iowa State 16-8 [5-6] Last week: Kansas State (L), at Oklahoma State (W) This week: at Texas A&M, Baylor Iowa State makes this week's biggest jump by going to Stillwater and beating the Cowniers. Even after losing most of their interior firepower to injury, Cyclones coach Bill Fennelly has the team contending for a NCAA tournament bid. Iowa State could cement their status as a tournament team with wins this week, but it won't come easy. The Cyclones will rely on their raucous crowd to rattle Baylor, and if they get hot from behind the arc, there is no reason they can't come away with a victory. DON'S AUTO: [Keeping Kansas students off the streets since 1972] Don's Auto Center 11th & Haskell 841-4833 --- Texas protected its home court against arguably the Big 12's best team. Unfortunately, the Longhorns couldn't follow that up with a victory on the road against the Buffalooes. It doesn't get any easier this week when Texas collides with two top-25 teams playing with an NCAA Tournament bid possibly on the line. To beat Oklahoma State and Texas A&M, Texas will have to play lockdown perimeter defense or Andrea Riley and Takia Starks could crush its NCAA hopes. Texas 16-9 (4-7) Last week: Baylor (W), at Colorado (L) This week: at Oklahoma State, Texas A&M SEVEN (7) KU EIGHT (9) Kansas 15-9 [4-7] Last week: Colorado (W), Nebraska (W) This week: at Texas Tech, at Missouri Bonnie Henrickson's team looked dead in the water after a 1-7 start to Big 12 play. After winning three out of their last four games, postseason now looks like a good possibility for Kansas. Last week the Jayhawks proved they could win at home. This week Kansas will have to do what even the Big 12 elite struggle with, and win on the road. Though both games are winnable, Kansas has yet to win a Big 12 road game and even one victory wouldn't be a disaster. N NINE (6) The Cornhuskers dropped in the rankings because of what teams below them did. A close game to Kansas in Lawrence was a game that Nebraska could have won, but making 17 of 34 free throws is not a recipe for victory. This week's schedule isn't the most challenging, but Texas Tech has wins over Texas and Colorado in Lubbock so a trip there can't be overlooked. Nebraska 17-8 [6-5] Last week: at Kansas (L) This week: Missouri, at Texas Tech CUJ TEN(11) Colorado 14-11 [3-9] Last week: at Kansas (L), Texas (W) This week: Kansas State A week of rest will be welcomed by Colorado after an up-and-down week in which it lost convincingly to Kansas and then used home-court advantage to send Texas back to Austin with a 15 point loss. The Buffaloes have an opportunity to give the Wildcats their second conference loss and first to an opponent from the Big 12 North. Boulder isn't an easy place to play, and Deb Patterson's squad shouldn't walk over Colorado. T ELEVEN (10) Texas Tech 14-11 [2-9] Last week: Oklahoma State (L), at Texas A&M (L) This week: Kansas, Nebraska After another winless week, the Lady Raiders get two games to find a win at home. Kansas is one of the hottest teams in the conference, but Bonnie Henrickson knows how difficult it will be to beat Texas Tech in Lubbock. Henrickson said the Lady Raiders are a completely different team when playing within the friendly confines of United Spirit Arena, where they draw more than 9,000 fans per game. After another winless week, the Lady Raiders get V TWELVE (12) The odds favor that the Tigers will spend the remainder of the season in the cellar. Missouri just can't buy a win at this point. Against Kansas State, Missouri barely reached 40 points, and Nebraska won't be any kinder. The Cornhuskers will be smarting-off from a narrow defeat to the Jayhawks in Lawrence and could be looking to take out their frustration on the overmatched Tigers.

DALLAS STARS Assigned D Dan Jancevski to Iowa (AHL). "In my entire coaching career, I've never seen another team's practice film prior to playing that队." Belichick said in a story posted on the Globe's Web site Sunday night. "I have never authorized, or heard of, or even seen in any way, shape, or form any other team's walkthrough. We don't even film our own." Michael Levy, Walsh's attorney, said Pioli's account was a "complete fabrication." NFL Patriot coach denies tape THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Levy has said his client is willing to turn over videotapes he made for the team if the NFL guarantees Walsh protection from lawsuits or other legal action. Bellichick also told the Boston Globe he "couldn't pick Matt Walsh out of a lineup." Walsh, a former Patriots employee, reportedly taped St. Louis' walkthrough practice the day before the Patriots beat the Rams 20-17 in the championship. BOSTON — Patriots coach Bill Belichick broke his silence on New England's twin tapping controversies, denying he told anyone to tape the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl and apologizing for all the attention generated by Spygate. "This is a predictable and pathetic effort to smear Mr. Walsh's character rather than confront the truth about the Patriots' conduct." Levy said in the Globe story. Commissioner Roger Goodell has said he offered Walsh a deal requiring him "to tell the truth and he has to return anything he took improperly" in return for indemnity, but Levy has said the deal doesn't go far enough. Goodell fined Belichick $500,000, the Patriots $250,000 and took away a first-round draft choice after the Patriots were caught tapping New York Jets' coaches in last year's season opener, a 38-14 New England victory. Belichick said he misinterpreted the rule, which he felt only prohibited taping that could be used during the same game. He also apologized for the controversy the taping caused. "I respect the integrity of the game and always have and always will," he said in the Globe story. "I regret that any of this, or to whatever extent, it has in any way brought that into question or discussion or debate. The decision was made by the commissioner, the practice was immediately stopped, and we're not doing it. "Just going back over the whole taping incident, if I contacted the league and asked them about the practice, I'm sure they would have told me — as they have done — that it is not permissible. Then I could have avoided all of this. "I take responsibility for it," he said. "Even though I felt there was a gray area in the rule and I misinterpreted the rule, that was my mistake and we've been penalized for it. I apologize to everybody that is involved — the league, the other teams, the fans, our team, for the amount of conversation and dialogue that it's caused." The day before the Patriots' 17-14 loss to the New York Giants in this year's Super Bowl, the Boston Herald reported New England taped St. Louis walkthrough before the first of the Patriots' three Super Bow victories. In a walkthrough, teams practice plays at a slower pace than normal without pads or helmets.

The Atlanta Hawks traded four players and had a high draft pick on Saturday for Bibby ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — Only a few days left in the NBA's version of "Let's Make a Deal." The Lakers were already winners, and the Suns and Mavericks could start playing with their new toys Wednesday. Now it's up to teams like San Antonio and New Orleans to see if they want to make a trade to help put them over the top in the loaded Western Conference. They have until Thursday afternoon to decide, and with nine teams separated by fewer than five games in the standings, standing pat could mean standing still. "We've never had a race that close at this point in the season," commissioner David Stern said. "The trades seem to have piqued interest." So who's next? And who's left? The big deals involving Shaquille O'Neal and Pau Gasol and the expected trade of Jason Kidd have swung the attention to Phoenix, Los Angeles and Dallas. Largely forgotten is that the Hornets came out of the All-Star break with the best winning percentage in the West. New Orleans finally got some attention by hosting a successful All-Star weekend, which ended with MVP LeBron James leading the Eastern Conference to a 134-128 victory against the West on Sunday night. The Hornets have been largely overlooked, but there is some thought the NBA will be right back here in the same building in mid-June. "I think we feel pretty good about the way we played so far," Hornets coach Byron Scott said. "Obviously, we haven't made any move like a few teams around us have. But we feel we have a very good basketball team. When it's all said and done, we feel we're going to have something to do with it." The unofficial second half starts with 10 games tonight. Much of the attention, however, will be saved for the next night, when O'Neal could make his Phoenix debut — against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, no less — Kidd might suit up for Dallas, and Mike Bibby makes an immediate return to his old home when Atlanta visits Sacramento. The trade deadline comes the following afternoon, but it's clear many teams aren't interested in waiting until the last minute. The Lakers kicked off shopping season by acquiring former All-Star Pau Gasol from Memphis. Phoenix went even bigger by bringing O'Neal from South Beach to the Southwest, and the Mavs were hoping their deal to bring Kidd back to his original team would go through Monday. Any one of those moves could make the difference in a conference where Houston has won eight straight games and was 32-20, and that was still only good enough for a tie with Golden State and Denver for the final two playoff spots. They would be tied for fourth place and home-court advantage in the first round if they resided in the East. Yet, the West being powerful is nothing new, which is why the defending champion Spurs don't think they have to react to the moves made around them. "It's going to be tough and people are going to have be playing well at the right time," All-Star forward Tim Duncan said. "It doesn't matter what moves you make, if they're not playing well for you, if you're not jelling, if you don't find the right rhythm or the right people to put on the court at the same time, it's not going to work for you." The Gasol deal has worked so far for the Lakers, who won the final four games of their road trip leading into the break despite a torn ligament in Bryant's right pinkie finger. If center Andrew Bynum's knee injury heals and he returns at full strength, Los Angeles could be the favorite to reach the Bynum finals. Or, they could be gone in the first round for the third consecutive year. To reach the finals, the Lakers would likely have to survive a field that looks every bit as tough as the one they navigated in 2001, when they swept Portland, Sacramento and San Antonio — all 50-game winners — in the West playoffs to give Bryant his second of three straight championship rings. "Even the bottom tier teams, if you can call them bottom tier teams, the eighth seed, ninth seed, they're tough," Bryant said. "When we made our run, we obviously had Portland to deal with. we had San Antonio to deal with. Sacramento was just starting to come into its own, and then a couple of years later they were the team to beat. But there were a handful of teams that were really tough. Now, you have nine, 10 teams that could really do some damage in the playoffs." Things seem more settled in the East, where Boston and Detroit, which has won 10 in a row, have been head and shoulders above the rest of the field. But as James proved last year in the playoffs and reminded everyone during the All-Star game, he can still take over when it counts, so don't write off the defending conference champs.

THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2008 SPORTS NCAA BASKETBALL 5B Top two battle for No.1 spot ASSOCIATED PRESS Get ready for No. 1 vs. No. 2. Memphis survived its closest game of the season to remain the lone unbeaten and a unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press' college basketball poll Monday. Losses by Duke and Kansas last week allowed Tennessee to make the jump from fourth to No. 2, setting up the 38th career matchup of the top two teams in the rankings. Tennessee (23-2) is at Memphis (25-0) on Saturday, the first 1-2 meeting since No. 2 Ohio State beat No. 1 Wisconsin 49-48 on Feb. 25, 2007. Both have games Wednesday night: Memphis is at Tulane and Tennessee hosts Auburn. The No. 2 team has won five of the last six meetings with the top-ranked team since 1994. The lone win for No. 1 was Duke's 97-66 victory over Texas on Dec. 12, 2005. Memphis beat UAB 79-78 on Saturday, erasing a seven-point deficit over the final two minutes and waiting for a final shot by the Blazers to be ruled after the buzzer by officials. Tennessee also survived a road scare on Saturday, beating Georgia 74-71. But the 1-2 Volunteer State Showdown wasn't decided until Duke lost 86-73 at Wake Forest on Sunday night. Memphis received all 72 first-place votes and 1,800 points from the national media panel to be No. 1 for a fifth straight week, the last three unanimously. Tennessee had 1,699 points to reach the highest ranking in school history. The Volunteers were third four weeks ago. North Carolina (24-2), which has managed to go 3-1 without injured point guard Ty Lawson, moved up two spots to third, while Kansas (24-2), which lost at Texas on Monday then cruised past Colorado on Saturday, dropped one place to fourth. Duke (22-2), which had a 12-game winning streak snapped by the Demon Deacons, dropped from second to fifth and was followed by UCLA, Texas, Butler, Stanford and Xavier. Butler (24-2) continued its climb to uncharted poll territory, moving up one spot to eighth, its highest ranking ever. Xavier (21-4) jumped from 12th to crack the top 10 for the first time since the next-to-last poll of 2002-03. Wisconsin moved up four places to 11th and was followed by Georgetown, Connecticut, Purdue, Indiana, Drake, Washington State, Louisville, Michigan State and Vanderbilt. The last five teams were Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Saint Mary's, Calif., Kansas State and Marquette. Marquette moved back into the poll after a one-week absence. The Golden Eagles (18-6), who were ranked as high as 10th this season, fell out after consecutive losses to Louisville and Notre Dame. But an 89-64 victory at Seton Hall and a 72-54 win over Pittsburgh had them back in at No. 25. MLB MIZUNO Kansas City Royals pitcher Miguel Olivo throws the ball during spring training Sunday at the team's complex in Surprise, Ariz. KC's new catcher settles for second spot ASSOCIATED PRESS SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City Royals Manager Trey Hillman worked Monday to clear up some confusion about who will be the team's starting catcher when the season opens. While Miguel Olivo thought he was going to be competing for the starting catching job, Hillman said John Buck would remain the Royals' No. 1 catcher. "There was a miscommunication to Miguel," Hillman said. "I'm not going to throw anyone under the bus. Neither Dayton (Moore, general manager), nor myself told Miguel Olivo he was coming in here as the starting catcher. "We got him for a reason. We want to utilize his skills. We think he's a talented player with a chance to be a starting catcher." Olivo hit .237 with 16 home runs and a career-high 60 RBIs last season in 122 games with the Florida Marlins. Buck led the Royals with 18 home runs, while hitting .222 with 48 RBIs in 113 games. Buck, however, hit just .195 after the All-Star break and only two home runs in his final 50 games. Hillman said he has talked to both men about the catching situation. "Miguel understands the situation," Hillman said. "We didn't get him to sit there and let him rot on the bench. He'll get some catching time. We're going to take a look at him in some other places." Hillman said Olivo "did act surprised" when he told him Buck would be the starting catcher, but felt better about the situation after talking to Hillman. "My agent tells me when I sign here that I come here to fight for a job," Olivo said. "The manager makes the decision. I agree with him. Whatever he says is the way it is going to be." However, Olivo said he's been a starting catcher his entire career and has no intention of giving up the starting job without a fight. "In my mind, we're fighting for the job," Olivo said. "In my mind, I'm the starting catcher. In my mind because that's the way I've been all my career. I respect John Buck. He respects me. We talk. We are good friends. Baseball is competition." Everybody comes here to get a job. I come here to fight for my job." Could Olivo win the starting job? Could Olivia win the starting job? "Anything is possible, sure." Hillman said. "What I told John Buck is you have to maintain a certain level of performance to maintain your status as a starter. For me, that's a no-brainer. That's for everybody." Notes: Hillman said Jose Guillen, who signed a three-year, $36 million contract in the off-season, would be his primary right fielder with Mark Teahen, who played right last year, shifting to left. Hillman also said Teahen could play some at first base. ...

ONE STOP SHOPPING FOR ALL YOUR GRADUATION NEEDS >>SCHOOL SHOOTING Tragedy strikes twice for coach ASSOCIATED PRESS NIU CHICAGO — Northern Illinois coach Ricardo Patton was returning from a recruiting trip when he heard about the campus shooting. Immediately, his mind started racing. He knew one son was OK. He couldn't reach the other one, though. "Fortunately, our players were all together in practice," Patton said Monday during a conference call. Last week, Steven Kazmierczak entered a science lecture with a shotgun and pistols. He killed five people while wounding 16 before taking his own life. His son Michael is on the Northern Illinois basketball team and was at practice. Tracking down older son Ricardo Jr., a Huskies football player, wasn't as easy. With the campus locked down, there was no cell phone access. It took a few hours for the coach to get hold of Ricardo Jr. "That was a tense moment," the coach said. "But I was very prayerful that he was OK." Patton said he understands what frantic parents were going through. Having his sons there "certainly gives me a perspective about how parents might be feeling about their students being here on campus," he said. "We've had a wonderful experience here. There are some wonderful people. It's a great academic institution. Those things are still in place." For Patton, the shootings jarred memories of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. He was the head coach at Colorado at the time. One of his players, Josh Townsend, lost a sister. "I remember Josh Townsend's mother stating it was very important that Josh was part of the team, and it's no different now," Patton said. He never envisioned encountering a similar scenario. Yet that's what he's doing 11 months after taking the job at a school in a bucolic community 65 miles west He was heading back from a recruiting trip to California when an assistant coach called with the news. He remembered his Colorado team rallying around Townsend. Now, Patton expects the players to support each other when they return to campus Tuesday. Toledo and Tennessee State were called off. Patton thought only one might be rescheduled. There will be no athletic competitions — home or away — until Feb. 25, when classes resume. For the men's basketball team, that means games against Western Michigan, No NIU athletes were among the dead or wounded, although one men's soccer player was in the class when the gunman started firing. The school is offering grief counseling and coaches already met with counselors.

Both teams wanted to secure a win for the last regular season game before plav-offs. For the final seconds of the game, each team tried to foul each other out, but for Dunkston Checks In it was too late during the fast-paced game. Sig Ep4 won with a 45-44 victory over Dunkston Checks In. During the first half, Sig Ep4 had solid outside shooting and led for the first few minutes of the game with Dunkston Checks In still trying to score.

Dunkston Checks In, which led earlier, was slowly wearing down and their short shots made it hard for them to rebound the ball. "We won pull play, so we wanted to secure this game for a good seed for playoffs."

What makes Beasley so difficult to defend is that there's no one way to approach it. Associated Press Try to take away his outside game with quickness and Beasley will move inside and overpower smaller defenders. Nebraska got a taste of Beasley's power in a Feb. 6 game. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The first time Missouri faced Kansas State's Michael Beasley, the Tigers swarmed the freshman forward, collapsing around him with double and triple teams. The thing about Beasley, though, is this kid learns fast - as teams in the Big 12 are quickly finding out. "Beasley is about as balanced a college player as I've ever seen," Kansas coach Bill Self said Monday during the Big 12 coaches weekly teleconference. "Inside, outside, passing, handling it — his hands are incredible — and he can, of course, get easy baskets. That's the sign of a great player. They run stuff for him but they also don't run stuff for him and he still comes away with points and rebounds." Matched against Shang Ping and Chris Balham after Cornhuskers center Aleks Maric picked up his second foul, Beasley screamed for the ball in the post, powering his way to 12 points in the final 5:41 of the first half. The Huskers switched to a box-and-one against Beasley in the second half without much success, either; he finished with 35 points and 13 rebounds in Kansas State's 74-59 win. Beasley wasn't much of a factor and the Tigers pulled out a tough win with just eight players in uniform. ASSOCIATED PRESS It works the other way, too. Just ask Missouri. Big 12 applauds Beasley's balance The first time Beasley faced the Tigers, he was unable to escape the extra attention inside, playing most of the game in foul trouble, taking just 12 shots and finishing with 17 points — eight below his average and his lowest total in the Big 12. The second time around, Beasley got a few points on the break and drifted further away from the basket, shooting jumpers over smaller defenders. He also was quicker with his shot inside, getting the ball to the rim before the double and triple teams could get there. Beasley, who had a double-double by halftime, finished with 40 points, including 16 straight for Kansas State in the second half, and 17 rebounds, helping the Wildcats to a resounding 100-63 victory. MEN'S BASKETBALL Beasley was named the Big 12's rookie of the week for the fourth straight time on Monday, the first time any player has won four straight weekly awards in the conference. "You're not going to stop him," Missouri coach Mike Anderson said. "You just hope you make him work for it." Beasley started the season as sort of a combo forward, splitting time between the post and the perimeter on defense and offense. The past few weeks, he's been primarily an inside player — because that's what the Wildcats have needed from him in the powerful Big 12. "That's what makes him such a special kid and special player is that he doesn't think he has all the answers," Kansas State coach Frank Martin said. "I've tried to make it known that if you get to coach guys like Mike Beasley throughout your career then coaches will have long, successful careers — not because of how talented he is as a player, but because he's such a good kid." He has 21 double-doubles, leaving him one short of Carmelo Anthony's all-time NCAA freshman record. He's tied with Kansas' Raef LaFrentz for second-most in Big 12 history, four behind Drew Gooden's all-time mark of 25 in Beasley's run through the Big 12 has led to inevitable comparisons to Kevin Durant, last year's No. 2 overall NBA pick after one season at Texas. Both players dominated college basketball as freshman, leading young teams to the top of the Big 12. Durant was the first freshman to be named national player of the year and first to lead the Big 12 in scoring and rebounding — achievements still well within Beasley's reach. Beasley leads the nation in rebounding at 12.4 per game and is scoring a Big 12-best 25.1 points, numbers remarkably close to the 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds Durant put up a year ago. But that's where the comparisons stop. Beasley also is the first Kansas State player to have two 40-point, 10-rebound games in the same season, and the nation's first freshman to do it since 1996-97. He's done it by continuing to get better, adjusting his game to what his team needs and what the opponents give him. Durant could go inside when he needed to but was primarily a perimeter player, relying on his jump shot to get points. The bulkier Beasley is probably a more well-rounded player, doing most of its damage inside, but can get out on the break or step back and drop three-pointers with just as much efficiency. As a high school and AAU player, Beasley had always been the second or third offensive option, getting his points in the shadow of higher-profile teammates. That started to change when Beasley led his AAU team to a national title last summer and followed him to Manhattan this season. While Durant was geared for scoring, Beasley has had to adjust to the faster pace that comes with being the offensive focal point. They have different mentalities, as well. "I think there's a difference between the players, but they're both terrific young players," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "Kevin Durant, people gave him a lot of credit for shooting the ball, but he was a much better rebounder, shot blocker and could play around the basket a little bit more than people thought. And there's no doubt Michael Beasley's a lot better shooter than people give him credit for." one season. 10¢ OFF EVERY GALLON OF GAS! Discounted Gas!! Discounted Washes!!

Last Call owner David Steffes gave up his fight against the city to stay open last week, but that isn't preventing the city from trying to control similar bars in the future. The commission discussed rezoning land use and putting another layer of licensing on all entertainment establishments. The staff attorney for the city, Scott Miller, suggested licensing that would hold venues responsible not only for their own activities, but for the actions of their patrons. Crimes considered would include physical violence, gambling, illegal possession of weapons or the intent to commit a crime. The owner of the Replay Lounge and Jackpot Music Hall, Nick Carroll, asked how the city would define problem businesses. He said with the addition of several new lofts in the downtown business district, he was concerned that residents in the area would call in noise complaints that could red flag otherwise compliant businesses. He said there needed to be a provision that respected the purpose of the area. "A lot of jobs are at stake here," Carroll said. "They need to maybe tweak the system instead of a total overhaul." Mayor Sue Hack said she agreed and called for a plan that would not damage the relationship between businesses and the city. The creation of permits, licences and zoning led commissioners to ask about the laborious paperwork that would have to be completed and the punishing of businesses that were in good standing. "As a business owner myself, I am concerned that the city might go past its tenure if it were written broadly enough," commissioner Rob Chestnut said. Currently, the city cannot revoke liquor licenses because that authority belongs to the state. The city had tried to work with Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control to regulate illegal activity inside Last Call. That was insufficient because the Kansas ABC could not control what patrons did outside the bar. Miller said the problem was not necessarily activity inside the bar. He said that the owner of the bar could simply throw the problem patron out of the bar and that the person then became the city's problem. He said the source of the disturbance in this case was not the patron, but the bar itself, which fostered that sort of activity Ted Boyle, who represented the North Lawrence Improvement Association, said an unnamed bar in north Lawrence attracted crime to the area. "We have no problems with noise," Boyle said. "It is after the patrons disperse that we have problems." stabbings, public urination and vandalism have been reported by residents. Threats by the staff to residents in the area of the bar have also been a concern. Commissioner Mike Amyx said that added bureaucracy was not something that he wanted to endorse. "We need to make sure the ordinance is fair and firm so that a situation like this one doesn't happen again", Amyx said, referring Last Call incidents. No legislation has been drafted yet, but officials plan to write ordinances based on Tuesday's discussion. Boyle mentioned crimes by bar patrons, such as shootings, 》 ENVIRONMENT Students question coal burning plant Students from the University of Kansas have been traveling to Topeka to talk to legislators about the Holcomb coal plant proposals.

Believe it or not, Kansas students might be going to college in a town full of eggheads - at least, if you believe the rankings released by Forbes.com on Feb. 7. Forbes.com, the online version of the popular business magazine, ranked Lawrence as the seventh smartest city the U.S. in its 2008 "America's Smartest Cities" rankings. Judy Billings, director of the Lawrence Judy Billings, director Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the city is in good company. "There are a lots of other college towns that didn't make that list," Billings said. The Forbes.com rankings, based on the education of residents, looked at each metro area's percentage of residents with a bachelor's degree, the percentage with a doctoral degree, the percentage with a professional degree and the percentage with at least a high school diploma. According to the rankings, 43.5 percent of Lawrence residents above the age of 25 have at least a bachelor's degree, while 3.8 percent of residents have a doctoral degree, 2.9 percent have a professional degree and Former Lawrence mayor and member of the city council Dennis "Boog" Highberger said he wasn't surprised that college towns dominated the list. "I think a university town like ours attracts people who are dedicated to education," Highberger said. "There are a lot of people here who are here because of education." EDWARD FENSHOLT Olathe freshman "It finally gives us the prestige think we deserve." Boulder, Colo. home of the University of Colorado, checked in at No.1 in the rankings, and like Boulder and Lawrence, every other city on the 25-city list was a college town. "That's awesome," Edward Fensholt, Olathe freshman, said. After all, Fensholt knows intelligence. He earned a perfect score on the ACT in high school. "It finally gives us the prestige I think we deserve," Fensholt said. Welcome to DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE If University students need another way to compare themselves with their traditional rivals from the University of Missouri, the Forbes.com rankings might make them smile. Columbia, Mo., was ranked below 92. 8 percent have a high school diploma. Lawrence also ranked ahead of Cambridge, Mass., home of Harvard University, and Iowa City, Iowa, the home of the University of Iowa. "Hey, It makes sense," David Tafreshi, Overland Park junior, said. "You can start with education. It's obviously a lot better here than over there. KU cranks out some smart kids." "I think it shows there might not be that much difference between Ivy League schools and state schools," Fensholt said. "I think we are in really good company. There are a lots of other college towns that didn't make that list," Billings said. "We're very proud to be a college town and it's very much a part of who we are and what we promote." Lawrence as the 11th smartest city. Billings also said the visitors bureau was pleased with the rankings. - Edited by Matt Hirschfeld reshi, start ter ut Bryan Marvin/KANSAN MEDIA Al Jazeera bureau chief discusses network's role Will Stebbins, bureau chief for the Al Jazeera English news network, visited the University of Kansas yesterday to give students a different perspective on international issues.

The unknown couple handed over the bill Friday night at a supermarket, telling the girls it had been washed when asked about why it looked so strange. "It felt and looked wrong and it was a quarter of an inch shortened than a $1 bill," said Jil Hennessey-Seabolt, the cookie director for Junior Girl Scouts Troop 2121. Hennessey-Seabolt said the Girl Scouts gave the couple $93.50 in change after the purchase. The exchange eradicated the Scouts' earnings that day. The money they raise in the sales goes to camping trips and to area charities. "Something like this isn't fair when it happens to adults, but when it happens to kids who work so hard, it's so frustrating." Hennesey-Seabolt said. The story does have a happy ending, though. A resident donated $100 to the Girl Scouts. Florida pastor issues 30-day sex challenge YBOR CITY, Fla. — A southwest Florida church issued a challenge for its married members: Hanky panky every day.

Unique spots save steer's life SPAULDING TOWNSHIP, Mich. — One steer's unique hide may save it from someone's dinner table. Total eclipse of campus The animal is named Michigan, and for a good reason — the brown spot on its side resembles the state's mitten shape. It's one of 30 cattle on Jacob and Georgia Kessler's family-run farm. Cattie from the farm are eventually sold for beef. But the owners are willing to sell the steer for promotional or mascot use instead of shipping it to the slaughterhouse. Associated Press Moonlight Taylor Miller/KANSAN A silver of the new moon peeks behind the Campanile, the same moon that will be affected by a total lunar eclipse on Wednesday between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. The eclipse will be visible to most of the Americas as well as Western Europe. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and the moon are directly aligned, and the moon passes through the shadow created by Earth. The last total lunar eclipse was in late August. What do you think? BY CAITY LOTHAMER D KELLY CARAFIOL Dallas freshman A. S. R. M. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE SHOOTINGS IN ILLINOIS AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CHANCES ARE OF THAT HAPPENING HERE? Dallas freshman “It's not comforting because it could happen here. But the chances are that it won't.” "What I feel isn't exactly what I can say, but sad is not enough. What I've heard about the Kansas security and what I see of the security at the football games and other places, I feel pretty secure. I would say chances are low. It's a small city, not like Illinois." ZAKI ABU-GHAZALEH Amman, Jordan, sophomore MARK GROSSMAN JOEY RALPH Hutchison freshman "its obviously a terrible tragedy and what makes it worse is its proximity to the events at Virginia Tech. Considering the shootings at ease and the frequency of these events occurring in our society it is a plausible threat we face on campus." Maria R.

BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com New additions besides birds and flowers arrive on campus with warmer weather: tour groups. The student ambassadors point out unusual facts and show visiting and parents students why they should attend the University of Kansas, and spring is the most common time for high school students to tour campus. Stephanie Filardo, Owensville, Mo., senior and a student ambassador, said there were usually 60 to 80 ambassadors at any one time because students quit and join throughout the semester. The ambassador program is a part of the office of admissions. Each ambassador goes through about six hours of training as well as six "shadow" tours, where they tag along with an experienced ambassador. The two main tour routes, called the traditional forward and backward routes, go by the main buildings on central campus. Ambassadors have also made up routes that go farther south on campus and loop around Summerfield Hall. Another tour, named the "green" route, goes through Marvin's Grove, the wooded area behind Strong Hall. An larger number of bus tours have in running because of the unpredictable cold weather, Filardo said. "We didn't want to make anyone sick." Filardo said. Each walking tour lasts an hour or more, depending on the route. Because bus tours take less time, they also drive by the residence halls. Usually, prospective students need to take a separate housing tour, which is given by ambassadors and staff from the housing department. Monday was Junior Day because high school students were off school for Presidents Day. Students said they liked the tours, despite the cold weather. Maddie Scheve, a high school junior from Overland Park, said the tour was resourceful and featured a lot of things she didn't know about campus. She enjoyed the personal facts that the ambassadors provided. "I'm going here." Scheve said. Braxton Tanner, a high school junior from Memphis, Tenn., said the University was in his top two schools that he was considering. Tanner said he thought the tour was very informative, and the campus was beautiful. The tour also improved his opinion of the University overall. Jennifer Hout, the visit coordinator for daily campus visits, said Junior Day wasn't the only thing the University did to try to appeal to prospective students. The office of admissions also hosts transfer days, senior days, multicultural days, scholar days and admitted senior days, among others. The University also puts on Hawk Talks, which are get-to-know you sessions in Kansas towns. — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld 》 ENVIRONMENT Kansans concerned about coal Students express thoughts on proposed power plants GENERAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL James Roberts, Overland Park senior, speaks at a press conference in Topeka after a hearing in the Senate Utilities Committee on Feb. 7. The committee reviewed a proposal to build a coal power plant near Holcomb. BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com Photo courtesy of Ashton Martin "There's the need for a real forward thinking energy discussion in this state," Roberts said. "We want to show that environmentalism is not a divergence from progress and The Holcomb coal power plant proposal has motivated many University of Kansas students to get politically active. Campus groups such as KU Environs have traveled to Topeka to voice their concerns about the proposals submitted by Sunflower Electric Power Corp. The groups are participating in a large effort spearheaded by the Greater Plains Alliance for Clean Energy, or GPACE, a Kansas organization dedicated to sustainable energy. The proposals passed through both the Kansas House and Senate without changes, but could still face a veto from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. If they aren't vetoed, the proposals would allow for the construction of two coal-fired power plants outside of Holcomb in southwestern Kansas. The proposed plants meet national environmental standards, and the provisions within the state House and Senate bills block Rod Bremmy, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, from issuing further emissions regulations without legislative approval. He said 25 to 30 students from the University went to Topeka on Feb. 6 and 7, when the Senate was debating the legislation, to support oppositional testimony against the proposals in front of the Senate Utilities Committee. James Roberts, Overland Park senior and volunteer for GPACE, has been organizing Kansas students to talk with legislators in the capitol about the proposals. "The overall effort is to make Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals know that this is not an issue that pits environmentalists against economists," Roberts said. growth." Brian Sifton, Kansas City, Mo. senior, was the only University student to volunteer to testify before the Senate Utilities Committee on Feb. 7. Sifton, an environmental studies major, said he spoke to the utilities committee about the negative effects the coal plants could have in the future. "It is an issue of our generation," Sifton said. "In 50,60,70 years, we're dealing with environmental changes the most." Sifton said his testimony in front of the Senate was the peak of his political activism. "Someone needs to say something from the perspective of the youth," Sifton said. "The people making the decisions aren't going to be the ones left with the effects." Sam Funk, Holcomb senior, said his stance on the Sunflower Electric proposals had put him in the minority among his friends from home. "I think I'm one of the very few people from Holcomb to oppose it," Funk said. He has been to the capitol twice with GPACE — once to talk with Anthony Hensley, Senate Democratic leader, and again to hear testimony against the proposals on Feb. 7. Funk, who's a part of the fourth generation to live on his family's farm, said his investment in Holcomb had been the driving force for his involvement in the coal plant debate. Even though the House and Senate both passed the coal plant proposals, Funk said he was still hopeful that a veto by Sebelius would force legislators to cap carbon dioxide emissions. He said he also supported efforts to build wind turbines in western Kansas as a source of cleaner energy. Roberts said he continued to push for renewable energy sources and organized students to advocate for higher emission standards. "We have such an incredible opportunity at hand," he said. "There's an interest to see change, and energy policy is absolutely the way to do that."

Will Stebbins bureau chief for Al Jazeera English, visited the University of Kansas yesterday to explain the dif- ference, between Stebbins M. BERKSHAM how Western media and Al Jazeera have covered these conflicts. Linda Lee, associate professor of journalism who attended the lecture, said Stebbins' visit was an opportunity for students to hear from a news source that wasn't Western. "Too many U.S. students and citizens are satisfied with Western sources of news and don't realize these sources are reporting through a cultural filter" Lee said. "Having Will here raises our awareness about these cultural filters." Al Jazeera established itself as the first independent, international news "What Al Jazeera did was provide the first democratic platform used by government leaders to push their political agendas. "Too many U.S. students and citizens are satisfied with Western sources of news and don't realize these sources are reporting through a cultural filter." LINDA LEE Associate professor of journalism organization in the Middle East about 11 years ago. On Nov. 15, 2006, it branched out and launched Al Jazeera English. Before Al Jazeera, Stebbins said, media in the Middle East were nothing more than tools for independent ideas," Stebbins said. "For the first time, marginalized voices were heard on a global public forum." Sept. 11 that relationship took a turn for the worse. At first, Al Jazeera had a good relationship with the United States, Stebbins said, but after As the U.S. began its military campaign against terrorist organizations such as al-Qaida, Stebbins said, Al Jazeera was offering a much different perspective than what was offered by U.S. officials and media organizations. the West was reporting its per- The West was spective from where the missiles took off while we were reporting our perspective from where the missiles landed," Stebbins said. "Al Jazeera would show the bloody Afghanistan," Stebbins said. "They accused Al Jazeera of only providing one perspective when in reality, it was only a different perspective." aftermath, which was quite messy." WILL STEBBINS Al Jazeera English bureau chief "What Al Jazeera did was provide the first democratic platform for independent ideas." alternate, which was quite messy. As the war trudged on and American and Iraqi deaths piled up, U.S. officials began identifying Al Jazeera as a strategic threat, Stebbins said. "Washington thought that showing the wounded was misrepresenting and undermining the war in The Bush administration, he said, launched a campaign aimed at delegitimizing Al jazeera, and many cable companies refused to broadcast the news organization because they feared the potential political backlash. Today, Stebbins said, Washington cooperates well with Al Jazeera, as U.S. officials have begun to use the international news organization as a way to promote its message to people across the Middle East and repair its image around the world. Stebbins' goal through the newly established Al Jazeera English Channel is to provide the rest of the world with an inside look at America. "While the United States doesn't understand the rest of the world, the rest of the world doesn't understand the United States either," he said. "Our role is to represent the complexity that is the United States." The three American issues that are currently receiving the most worldwide attention are the 2008 presidential election, the U.S. policy toward the war in Iraq and the treatment of Guantanamo Bay prisoners KANSANCLASSIFIEDS "The primary process in the U.S. is fascinating to the rest of the world." Stebbins said. "It shows how democratic the process really is."

INTERNATIONAL Lost Impressionist Max Rinkel paintings recovered in car ZURICH, Switzerland — Two Impressionist paintings stolen in one of Europe's largest art thefts were recovered in an abandoned car, police said. The pictures by Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet were among four paintings worth $163 million that were stolen from a private museum in a Feb. 10 armed robbery. The two other paintings taken from the E.G. Buehrle Collection one by Edgar Degas and the other by Paul Cezanne—remain missing, Phillipp Hotzenkoecherle, commandant of the Zurich city police, told reporters. Monet's "Poppy field at Vetheuil" and Gogh's "Blooming Chestnut Branches," were discovered in a parking lot in front of a Zurich mental hospital on Monday. The recovered paintings, It was unknown how long the white sedan in which the paintings were found had been parked there, Hotzenkoecherle said.

St. Lawrence KS OPINION THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7A WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 20, 2008 WEDNESDAY,FEBRUARY 20,2008 COMMENTARY Picking up dates at recreation center questionable,may smell much worse HAILEY OSTERHAUS As I slowly step off the deadly treadmill — which makes me feel like I'm going to have a coronary every time I complete my work out — I gaze around the Student Recreation Fitness Center to see all of the glorious people without a drop of sweat on their bodies. Their hair is delicately placed, their makeup is freshly painted and some are simply flexing in the several mirrors on the walls. Then I start to wonder why I, along with only a few others, look like I'm on the verge of dying. It's true. I've seen many girls show up to the rec looking like they've spent an absurd amount of time fixing their hair to possibly distract the guy across the room from his own reflection. It seems as if the rec is a place to, for lack of better words, "get some action." Except the action has nothing to do with health benefits. It's actually about showing off your toned bods and checking out those nicely shaped 'glutes' many people accentuate with spandex. The rec isn't exactly the right place to mingle, not like in a bar when some random guy walks up to a girl and asks, "Can I get you a drink?" I can't imagine a guy walking up to me, muscles obnoxiously bulging, to ask, "Can I get you a towel?" It just doesn't work that way, and it shouldn't, because males with rank body odor and sweaty, yellow armpit stains don't exactly fall under the category of sex appeal. But perhaps horrible pick up lines like, "Hey, nice Adidas. Wanna make out?" have worked in the past. A sign I see when I walk into the restroom on the top floor. The sign says, "This is a public bathroom that is provided for the convenience of SRFC members. Misuse of facility will result in loss of privileges to the SRFC." Maybe some risqué sexy time has climaxed in that bathroom before. I guess a quickie next to toilets could result, if you're bored, with the weights and machines, but I haven't walked in on anything like that happening yet. The only situations I've come across in the bathroom are the times I've walked in on someone fixing her hair, checking her makeup or turning sideways to get a different view of her butt in the mirror. Usually these scenes awkwardly end with one of us quickly flying out the door, pretending that nothing weird just happened. When I exit the bathroom and venture downstairs past the groups of people mingling and gyrating, I come to the main floor where most of the sexual tension lies. DUDE... THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. ...DUDE. GOLD's If I had to guess on which floor an orgy would break out, it would be this one. Here, eyes wander the most because the many mirrors reflect everything and everyone. What is usually reflected are the guys who grunt their way through squats and huff and puff in a manner that makes me think maybe they need some help, but this may be a way to look good in front of the girls on the treadmills across the room. Basically, everyone here tries their best to look good for each other, and it's obvious. I know many people's purpose to go to a recreational center or gym is to improve appearances, and if everyone is in the same place focusing on their bodies, there's a good chance that sexual tension may arise. Honestly, the rec is a horrible place to meet people. I just don't see the point of looking good while trying to look better. Walk in looking like crap and walk out looking even worse. That's the way it should be done because I'd rather not waste my energy trying to pick up guys at a place that is for burning energy on a machine.

COMMENTARY Unprepared applicants cannot 'wing' job interview KIRSTEN HUDSON KIRSTEN HUDSON Although students often get used to winging that "easy A" exam or making up that COMS 111 speech, just winging it in a job interview may not succeed. When asked in an interview, "What is your greatest weakness?" are you going to be able to just wing that question successfully? When I think about my interviewing experience, I realize how unprepared I am for job interviews in the real world. My first "interview" happened while I was eating breakfast with my parents at a restaurant in my hometown. In between talking to my parents about the unusually nice weather, the owner of the restaurant asked me if I wanted to start the next day as a table busser. Somehow I don't think my first real job interview will occur in between bites of bacon and eggs. In college, it's important to begin thinking about that real world that's waiting on the other side of Campanile Hill after the graduation walk. Many of us with little interviewing experience have only a vague sense of the basics behind successful interviewing. Usually this idea begins and ends with dressing appropriately. After we have dusted off the dress pants and successfully clad ourselves in the appropriate business-casual attire, those of us with a lack of interviewing experience have no idea how to proceed. A part of that real world is finding a job and thus participating in a job interview. If from this point you plan on heading to the interview and just winging it, even an Armani suit may not help you land the job. to put those ideas you have of yourself into charismatic responses to nerve-racking interview questions. Does that mean you have good social skills or does that mean you're going to be making out in the break room with a different intern every week? There is a certain point to which you're going to have to wing it; every question can't be anticipated. Therefore, preparation is an important step of the interviewing process. According to the University Career Center, preparing includes seriously analyzing your strengths and weaknesses, studying prospective employers and planning your attire. Generating questions to ask your interviewer beforehand is also helpful because asking questions makes you appear interested and eager, good qualities in a potential employee. KU understands the importance for students to obtain effective interview skills. Just saying "I'm a people person" is not going to cut it. The School of Business has named February "Business Career Month," offering 11 events, such as resume-building to prepare students for future careers. Two of these events, a behavioral interview workshop and mock interviews, are devoted specifically to helping students succeed in future job interviews. In addition, today the University Career Center is holding a "Dynamic Interviewing Skills" workshop at the Burge Union from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The workshop teaches students how to prepare for an interview, what employers expect from interviewees and how to effectively sell your skills and abilities. Also, on its Web site, the University Career Center offers a tool called "Perfect Interview." This tool, offered exclusively to students, faculty and alumni, simulates a job interview by asking challenging questions to which you must respond. The tool allows you to repeat questions, see sample answers and has a built in "Interview Coach" to offer help. Rather than just winging it, with these resources and some effort you 1.

Don't be willing to take anything because you will usually get nothing. 3. Describe your weaknesses as your strengths. Show that you've learned by overcoming weaknesses.

Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the KU Office of Study Abroad, said the number of students studying abroad had nearly doubled since the 1998-1999 school year. During 2005-2006 academic term.

Despite the continued popularity of long-term programs, Gronbeck-Tedesco said many students were opting for programs during winter and spring break because they were more financially viable and lessened in participation was likely because of the variety of programs available to students as well as initiatives by faculty to create new programs. She said many prospective students came to the University expecting to study abroad during their undergraduate studies.

"During the winter you can't play or practice," coach Erin O'Neil said. "It's nice to finally get started." Freshman Grace Thiry finished an impressive 7th, shooting 8 over par overall. Thiry was tied for first after the opening round, being one of two players to finish under par for the first day. Sophomore Emily Powers was the only other Jayhawk to finish in the top 20, shooting a 13 over par. Senior Annie Giangrosso was the next highest finish with 34th place, shooting 18 over par. O'Neil understands the cultural differences foreigners Thiry, who hails from Victoria, Australia, freshman Meghna Bal, New Delhi, India, and freshman Camilla Svensson, Gothenburg, Sweden, have had to deal with. "Annie has been steady for us," O'Neil said. "She's a senior and shows great leadership." With a freshmen placing in the top 10 in the first tournament of the season, the Jayhawks seem to be set with a solid foundation for the future. "We're very young" O'Neil said, "and we just ask to do the best you can and have fun. We're in good shape." "It's an ongoing transition," O'Neil said. "It's hard enough to come to college being from the United States." Even though O'Neil doesn't want to rely on one player, she understands the improvement she has seen from her sophomore. "She has cut off a lot from her average." O'Neil said. The team's next competition is in Fresno, Calif., for the Fresno State Invitational. Even with minimal practice during the last few months the team seems confident in its play. O'Neil says they have not set unreasonable goals. "We'll just go out there do our best and try to have fun," O'Neil said. Center thrives as team role changes BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Edited by Daniel Reyes It seemed like the booing was just seconds away. Sasha Kaun was either mishandling a rebound, fouling or missing a free throw. He rarely did anything productive early this season. Still, the fans never quite turned against Kaun and relegated him to the same group of unpopular KU big men such as David Padgett and Eric Chenowith. They didn't have to. Kaun improved. After moving from the starting lineup to the bench in December, Kaun has developed into a consistent and viable reserve, averaging 7.5 points and 3.8 rebounds a game. KANSAS 24 He's even starting to shoot better. Kaun's field goal percentage, 63, and free throw percentage, 57, are better than they've ever been. A break between games to do weights work and conditioning are contributing to senior Sasha Kaun's turnaround. After losing his starting position in December, Kaun has become a key player off the bench. "I think I'm a little more aggressive in practice and that's something I can carry over into games," Kaun said. "There's been a lot of mental things I've been trying to work on." Kaun envisioned this type of improvement before the season started. He wanted to have a memorable senior year and erase the past memories of his inconsistencies during his first three years. As a sophomore Kaun teased the Jayhawk faithful by dropping 25 points against Idaho State early in the season. He never lived up to that night but did average eight points and five rebounds per game. Last year, as a junior, those averages dropped. Part of the reason for the inconsistency could be traced to his summer workout regimen. The summer before his junior year, Kaun went back to his hometown of Tomsk Russia, to visit his family and take care of paperwork. He had to apply for a new visa, a Russian passport and an international passport. "There were all these crazy things." Kaun said. "It was such a short period of time. I was rushed." Because he was busy with family and passports, Kaun didn't have much time for basketball. Tomsk, Russia, wasn't exactly a hoops Mecca, either. Kaun only had one place where he could work on his game, a nearby university that wasn't open for public use. "It was hard to access," Kaun said. "You had to know people. It was complicated."

He said the lack of work and a preseason knee injury kept him from developing consistency last year. Kansas coach Bill Self also noticed the lack of improvement. "For two summers in a row." Self said, "he was totally inactive for various reasons: injuries or being home. I think that set back his development, especially his lower body strength." So, Kaun went to work last summer. His days consisted of weights, foot work, post moves and shooting drills. He did all his workouts in Lawrence then traveled to Kansas City for a computer programming internship. This season was supposed to be different because of his strenuous summer schedule. Early on, it wasn't. Kaun only got two rebounds in 25 minutes against Arizona. He said he was trying too hard to make a big difference as a senior. By the sixth game of the season, Kaun got benched in favor of Darnell Jackson. "I think it released a little bit of the pressure," Kaun said about coming off the bench. "You just kind of sit down and analyze the game a couple minutes before you come in there." Kaun's play started to change immediately once he became a reserve. He grabbed seven rebounds the first game in his new role. Ten days later, he led the team in scoring with 15 points against DePaul. His play has been consistent since then. Finally, Kansas can count on solid defense, improved rebounding and a good shooting percentage from Kaun. The Jayhawks could especially use him in the next month, when the games really matter. "He's been playing good as of late," Self said. "He was very good against Texas. I thought he rebounded very well. In the NCAA Tournament, you want as many bodies as you can, especially big, because foul problems can certainly create some situations for you." big money for Kaun. He's projected as a possible late second round draft pick in the NBA and would almost certainly be invited to a training camp if he doesn't get drafted. Kaun said hed like to give the NBA a try but would also be open to playing in Europe. A good end to this season could mean Those decisions can wait, though. Kaun is finally playing with more consistency and wants to enjoy the rest of his last season of college basketball. He has five more games, only two at home, before his final Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments start. "Everybody is going to talk about how the seniors did this year," he said, "and it's kind of important to finish up on a good note and do as well as we possibly can and hopefully win a championship." BASEBALL Edited by Daniel Reyes Team hopes to get back on track, repeat 2006 success BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com In the wake of the 2006 Big 12 Championship, stands the 28-30 record that was 2007. With the 2008 season on the horizon, the 2008 senior class will try and capture the elusive Big 12 Championship once again. Leading this charge will be senior right field Ryne Price, senior left fielder John Allman and senior shortstop Erik Morrison. This trio of seniors will need a very solid incoming class and the remaining players from the 2006 titleholders. One of the players that played a key role in the lawhays 2006 postseason success was Buck Afenir, junior catcher, who had a two hit game against Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship and another two hit night against Hawaii in the first regional game. With Preston Land, junior first baseman, returning to his 2006 form, the Jayhawks are looking to make noise in the Big 12. "I have been here for four years and this team has as good of a chance as any. We have a solid core of seniors and a pitching staff that is deep." While experience is going to be a key factor in the Jayhawks' success this year, sixth year head coach Ritch Price is excited about something else: pitching. The Jayhawks will have a key addition from Shaeffer Hall, a sophomore transfer at pitcher, to go along with sophomore pitcher Wally Marciel and junior pitcher Amy Marks when he returns from injury. This is something that their coach looks forward to and could be a formula for another Big 12 title. "I think we have a real good chance," Afenir said. "We were one of the youngest teams in the Big 12 last year and this year we will be one of the oldest, which I think is much similar to the success Missouri had "I think depth wise, this is the best we have been in the six years I have been here," Price said. After just missing making the Big 12 Tournament last year, this year's team thinks it can resemble the 2006 team's success. last year." "Preston Land is going to have a huge year," Price said. "He has the bat speed to hit it out on any pitch and at any time." If there are any skeptics left after the 2007 season, they will not be wearing crimson and blue this year. With a veteran team that has both won a championship and not made the tournament, they understand what it takes. If you pose the question if they can repeat their 2006 success, their answer is simple. JOHN ALLMAN Senior left fielder "Absolutely," Allman said. "I have been here for four years and this team has as good of chance as any. We have a solid core of seniors and a pitching staff that is deep." So, as the team looks to wrap up their final days of practice before heading to the warm sunshine of Hawaii, this season may hold the opportunity for the Jayhawks to gain redemption. Junior forward Maria Zinic, junior guard Katie Smith and freshman Chakei Whelton laugh after teammate Taylor Mcintosh, senior forward, shot a stuffed attempt by a Nebraska guard during the first half of Sunda's game. — Edited by Patrick De Oliveira MORE BASEBALL COVERAGE ON PAGE 4B KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS BASKETBALL Jon Goering/KANSAN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Team optimistic about future games BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com At the beginning of this season, much of the talk about the women's basketball team was how it was going to build off a strong finish last season. Last year, the Jayhawks won three out of four games for a stretch in February and were the victors in five of their last nine contests. That team started 1-9 in Big 12 play before turning on the jets, making it impossible to recover. Unlike last year's team, this season's Jayhawks had an excellent nonconference record against some quality opponents. Kansas played and beat Hartford, Indiana and Xavier — all currently in the NCAA tournament according to ESPN's bracketology — and lost in Berkeley to a Cal team that's currently projected to get a No. 3 seed. This time around, Kansas soared to an 11-2 nonconference record before stumbling out to a 1-6 start in Big 12 play. However, the recent flurry — three wins in its past four games — gives coach Bonnie Hendrickson's team a chance to finish in the upper half of the conference and push for a berth in the NCAA tournament. "The difference between last year and this year is that emotionally for these kids, they expected so much more," Henrickson said. "Nobody expected much last year because everybody told them how young they were. These kids in this program expected to have a lot more success this year." Also, unlike a year ago, the layhawks aren't solely dependent on two players. Especially late in the season, Henrickson noted that her team became too reliant offensively on senior guard Shaquina Mosley and defensively on senior guard Sharita Smith. This time around they have a balanced attack on both ends of the floor. "I don't know at the end of this that we'll say there were just two people." Henrickson said. "I really feel good that it's going to be a handful of people, and if it's a handful of people it will not only be a good finish like last year, but we'll be going somewhere." Postseason play was a preseason goal for Kansas but started to fade away with the sluggish start. Now that the tournament is back in the picture, sophomore guard Danielle McCray thinks it's time for Kansas to address its biggest issue. "The biggest challenge for us is the road games, but we have a lot of momentum from our last two games," McCray said. "On the road we just need to stay together and play like we're at home." "Honestly, I did," Henrickson said. "I know you're going to think I'm crazy, but when you look at January and February, I thought it was possible to survive if we didn't Road games are the last big hurdle for the Jayhawks to get past because they're currently 0-5 in Big 12 games away from Allen Fieldhouse. Still, it wasn't expected that after such a slow start this team would be in a position where it could think about the postseason. Some, though, swear that they always thought this was going to happen.

OBITUARY Sports visionary dies Tuesday at age 89 DENVER — Bob Howsam, the man who gave baseball its Big Red Machine and gave Denver its beloved Broncos, died Tuesday in Sun City, Ariz. He was 89. Howsam had been having heart problems, said his son, Robert Howsam of Colorado Springs. NBA He built a reputation as a visionary who pioneered the use of film to hone a hitter's swing, expanded the use of artificial turf and orchestrated blockbuster trades — such as the one that brought Joe Morgan to the Reds in 1971. Howsam's career bridged two sports and several leagues, and even his short-time jobs produced success: Between co-founding the Broncos in 1959 and joining the Reds in 1967, he was general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals when they won the 1964 World Series over the New York Yankees. But his guiding principle was that the fans came first, his son said. "He loved the fans. They made his life," the son said. A Denver native, Howsam started his sports career in 1947 as owner of the Denver Bears of the Single-A Western League.

He was reintroduced in Dallas 14 years after the Mavericks made him the No.2 pick. help turn around one of the worst franchises in sports. Now, as one of the league's best point guards, he's seen as a crucial piece in the Mavs' pursuit of a championship. "There's no bigger reward than to have that championship trophy in your hand," said Kidd, who lost in the NBA finals twice with the Nets. "That's why I'm here. Because Dallas has its eye on that prize." The eight-player deal, in the making since before the All-Star break KIDD 2 WRIGHT 21 ALLEN 30 and talked about a lot longer than that, sends Kidd, forward Malik Allen and guard Antoine Wright to Dallas. The primary piece headed to New Jersey is point guard Devin Harris. The others are center DeSagana Diop, swingman Maurice Ager, forward Trenton Hassell and retired forward Keith Van Horn. New Jersey also gets two first-round draft picks and $3 million.

Stackhouses' presence in the deal was muddled by plans to get him back to Dallas — within the rules, although in a way the league frowned upon — and George used his veto power to block his involvement. "It's been the most amazing, interesting trade we've ever done, and we've done some doozies here," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said. "I've never seen anything like it, but all's well that ends well. We got the right guys." Kidd wasn't the answer in Dallas a decade ago, and he was shipped to Phoenix after 2½ seasons. Five years New Jersey hasn't made a long playoff run since, and Kidd started talking trade a year ago, when he almost went to the Los Angeles Lakers. He went public with his lat- later he was traded to the Nets, who went to back-to-back NBA finals in 2002-03.

"He's had an unbelievable impact on everyone in this organization and we wish him nothing but the best." Thorn said he first noticed it in December, an indirect reference to an incident in which Kidd sat out a game against the New York Knicks with a migraine, a move some considered a one-day walkout to force a trade. Cuban, who was a Mavericks season ticket holder the last time Kidd was in Dallas, is essentially gambling that the one-and-a-half seasons he'll have Kidd is worth more than the four-and-a-half seasons left with Harris running the offense. Nets president Rod Thorn saw the same problem on New Jersey's end. He said as the Nets struggled this season, Kidd lost some of the intensity that defines him as a player, making the trade imperative. "In any business there's lulls," Cuban said. "Everybody was waiting for the postseason to start. You can't just say, OK, turn it on in the postseason.' I think Jason ... being that iconic All-Star will spark a lot of people." "Over the course of time it became very evident that his heart wasn't in it," Thorn said. "The kind of player he is, if his heart's not in it then he's not the same player, and it became evident to me that his heart wasn't in it anymore. It just wasn't going to work." Kidd, of course, is a proven commodity, but he turns 35 next month and is a decade older than Harris. This is the third big trade involving a Western Conference power as the teams prepare for the stretch run. "We understand the competition is fierce, but we're not afraid of the competition," Mavericks coach Avery Johnson said. --- Y THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2008 SPORTS 3B Five games to watch this week WEDNESDAY, FEB. 20 Kansas State at Nebraska 8 p.m., ESPN2 the HIGH/LOW K-State's Michael Beasley only has six regular season games left.

With the end of Big 12 play in sight, players have less than three weeks to prove themselves BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Nearly three years ago, Byron Eaton eaten into Stillwater, Okla., from Lincoln High School in Dallas. From the get-go, Oklahoma State fans were ready for 5-foot-11, 215 pound sparkplug — and McDonalds All-American — to become a premier guard in the Big 12 conference. Cowboy fans and Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton are still waiting. "He's never lived up to what I thought he could be or what Oklahoma State fans thought he could be," Sutton said. But when Kansas takes the floor of Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla., on Saturday, Kansas fans might see a version of the Eaton everyone expected all along. Eaton — who averaged 7.8 points per game during his first two seasons — scored 17 points and 25 points, respectively in victories against Texas A&M and Baylor. The junior point guard has improved his season average to 10.6 points per game. "The ways he played the last two games, he's in total control of the game at both ends," Sutton said. More importantly, Eaton has helped rescue Sutton and Oklahoma State from a disastrous 1-6 start in the Big 12. Oklahoma State will venture in to Saturday game against Kansas at 4-7 in the Big 12 and 13-12 overall. Sutton said Eaton has been the catalyst for Oklahoma State's resurgence. In Oklahoma State's victories this season, Eaton has 23 assists and 25 turnovers. In the Cowboys losses, Eaton has 37 assists and 14 turnovers. "Offensively, he played with a lot of poise, a lot of confidence," Sutton said. Of course, Eaton's career has been plagued by inconsistency and he's had to deal with critics who've questioned his fluctuating body weight. On Feb.9 against K-State, Eaton played 25 minutes and was held to seven points, while only attempting four shots.

— said Eaton has to continue to get better if Oklahoma State wants to keep winning games. But Sutton's been delighted by his guards play the last two weeks. "He played the way I envisioned him playing when he first got here," Sutton said. "There's still time left, and that's what I've tried to relay to him. He still has time to prove he's a big-time player." Edited by Russell Davies The High/Low's top 5 Big 12 guard. Many people thought Oklahoma State's Byron Eaton would develop into orie of the best guards in the Big 12. But Eaton has been plagued by inconsistency.

Robinson Rocky without Sakic, Stastny Returning offensive players shake up Avalanche lineup ASSOCIATED PRESS Stastny could play as early as Wednesday against Anaheim during the first game of a five-game road trip. Sakic will travel with the team and hopes to play during the trip. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Joe Sakie and Paul Stastny took part in practice Tuesday as the struggling Colorado Avalanche moved closer to getting their top two offensive players back in the lineup. "We don't really have a timetable. We're going to see how it progresses," said Sakic, who has missed 36 games after surgery to repair a sports hernia. "As long as it keeps getting better, you never know. There's not a date set for us." Colorado has struggled with its star centers out. The Avs have scored three goals in their last four games, all losses, including a 4-0 shutout against Detroit on Monday night. They've slipped to 10th in the Western Conference standings, two spots back of the last playoff seed with 22 games left. Stastny leads the team in scoring with 49 points despite missing the last 14 games. He is recovering from a groin injury he suffered while trying to return from an appendectomy. "I've been pushing it more and every day, I've felt better and better," he said. "I wouldn't be going on the road trip if I didn't think I'd play, so I'm pretty optimistic to be playing. Once I'm 100 percent I'll be ready to go." Sakie led the team in scoring last year with 100 points and has not played since Nov. 30, when he injured his groin against San Jose. At first he was expected to miss a few weeks, but he underwent surgery. Dec. 28. "It was frustrating at first, but once I realized we had to do the surgery, then you knew how long you were going to be out," said Sakic, who had never missed more than 24 games in his 19-year career before this injury. "Now that I'm skating, you're chumping at the bit to get back." Bauer ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO He began skating last week, and took part in some drills with the team Tuesday but did not take contact. "The last couple of days I've been going hard," Saikic said. "It's still pretty tight, but you've got to work through that." Despite their struggles, the team doesn't want to put Sakic or Stastny back in the lineup before either one is ready. "We'll make sure when they're ready to play, they're ready to play." Colorado coach Joel Quenneville said. "They're a lot closer than they've been. We expect both of them to play at some point on the trip." Colorado Avalanche center Paul Statryn jokes with teammates before the Avalanche face the Dallas Stars in their regular-season opening NHL hockey game in Denver on Oct. 3, 2007. Statny joined injured teammate Joe Sakic in skating at the Avalanche's practice on Tuesday. IN BRIEF Accused Super Bowl shooter turns himself in PHOENIX — A man accused of planning to shoot people at the Super Bowl was indicted on six counts of sending threatening communications, according to court documents filed Tuesday in federal court. Kurt William Havelock, 35, turned himself in to authorities Feb. 3 after driving within sight of University of Phoenix Stadium during the Super Bowl with a rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition. He said he changed his mind. Havelock told authorities he was upset that the city of Tempe denied him a liquor license application for a Halloween-themed bar. A phone message and email sent to Havelock's federal public defender Jeffrey Williams were not immediately returned Tuesday evening. She was a fixture in her seat behind home plate at Kauffman Stadium, always arriving early to see batting practice. Art Stewart, now a senior adviser to General Manager Dayton Moore, is being inducted into the team hall of fame this summer, and a building has been named in his honor at the team's spring training complex in Surprise, Ariz. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to hear an appeal from two former Alabama assistant football coaches who lost their jobs following an NCAA investigation of the Crimson Tide's football program. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Donna Stewart, wife of longtime Kansas City Royals scout and personnel director Art Stewart, died Tuesday after a long fight with cancer, the team said. The justices rejected the case of Ronnie Cottrell and Ivy Williams without comment. Services were pending. Cottrell and Williams sued the NCAA and recruiting analyst Tom Culpepper for defamation, claiming they were unable to find comparable employment following the NCAA's investigation of Alabama. The football program was placed on probation and received other sanctions for rules violations. Baseball scout's wife dies Tuesday Two Alabama coaches await new trial Cottrell won a $30 million judgment against Culpepper, but the trial judge threw out the verdict and ordered a new trial.

SUA ORT CONNECTED KU Hillel STAY CONNECTED --- 4B THE UNIVERSITY BABY KANSAS SPORTS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2008 MLB Players apologize for steroid use ASSOCIATED PRESS There's nothing like a good apology, especially when you know it comes straight from the heart. Eric Gagne issued his Monday in two different languages, though if you had just come back from a few months climbing in the Himalayas you'd be hard-pressed to know just what he was apologizing for. Even Gagne didn't seem sure, and you would think he would be the one to know. Something about a "distraction that shouldn't be taking place" was taking place and that "right now I just want to go forward." Gagne had to have been watching and taking notes a few days earlier when his former batterymate, and the guy who used to score HGI1 for him, issued his own mea culpa before beginning his new job as a $5 million a year catcher and role model for the Washington Nationals. For that kind of money you would think Paul Lo Duca might be able to do better than a three sentence statement apologizing for "mistakes in judgment I made in the past and for the distraction that has resulted." Maybe even tell us if the details in the Mitchell report about him buying steroids for his minor league teammates in 1999 and then going around the clubhouse to make sure his buddies had a fresh supply of HGH in the majors were true. Apparently not. Like Mark McGwire, he just doesn't want to talk about the past. "Come on, bro." Next question", Lo Duca said. Jason Giambi never explained what he was apologizing for, Paul Byrd has developed a case of amnesia, Gary Matthews has never told us why he was sent HGH, and we haven't heard a peep from Jose Guillen or Troy Glaus. Miguel Tejada isn't about to talk, and he made that clear Tuesday upon his arrival in camp for the Houston Astros. Unfortunately we've heard way too much from Roger Clemens. It was his strident denials that brought Pettitte deeper into this mess than he was eved to be, and his insistence on having a congressional investigation that led to some embarrassing revelations about family members of both pitchers. Hopefully, Byrd, Matthews, Gagne, Lo Duca and the other players were taking notes because Pettitte never tried to hide. When he finished answering some questions, he would ask the reporter if he needed more. The short one on why he did HGH, though, seemed good enough. "Stupidity, desperation, that's the only excuse I can give you," he said. That's better than what most of baseball's juiced generation has given. They remain content to hide behind ambiguous statements that offer nothing, figuring a few home runs or a few clutch saves will win the faithful back anyway. They'll probably get away with it, too, because fans have short memories, and writers are just as tired of writing about steroids and HGH as people are of reading it. To Pettitte, though, that wasn't enough. He had to apologize to the Steinbrenners, to the fans, to the media, to everyone. Mission accomplished.

Jayhawks kicked off their season with a five game series against Hawaii-Hilo, starting at 5 p.m. Friday, in Kona, Hawaii. 7 BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com After starting two sophomores and a freshman on the mound during weekends last season, Kansas now boasts one of the most experienced rotations in the Big 12. Junior left-hander Nick Czyz and sophomore left-hander Wally Marcelian anchored Kansas' weekend rotation last season and are the incumbents to do the same this season. However, unlike last year, Kansas has a handful of worthy candidates to choose from, so Czyz and Marcelian will have to earn their spots in the weekend rotation. "There's three weeks of games before we go to Texas and each time those guys walks on the field, they're competing for one of those starting jobs," coach Ritch Price said. Also throwing their names in the hat to claim a weekend spot are senior right-hander Andres Esquibel, junior left-hander Sam Freeman and sophomore left-hander Shaefer Hall. Esquibel led Kansas with seven victories last season, while switching between starting and relief duties. Although he's the only right-handed candidate to start for the Jayhawks his value as a setup man out of the bullpen may prevent him from starting on weekends. Freeman, a transfer from North Central Texas College, was a strikeout machine last season with 50 strikeouts in 50.2 innings. Price said Freeman fit the profile of a true starter, with high velocity, a good slider and possibly the best changeup on the team. All of which certainly bode well for Freeman, assuming he can acclimate to pitching in the Big 12. Hall, another addition to the Kansas staff via transfer, was an innings eaten at Jefferson College last season. En route to a 10-1 record, Hall pitched 83 innings, throwing six complete games. Considering how Kansas' starters didn't toss a single complete game in 2007 and rarely pitched late into ballgames, Hall's stamina could be a welcome addition to the Kansas rotation. Unfortunately, the candidates have only been able to audition indoors, in batting cages, rather than on the diamond. pitching stats "We're doing the best we can to prepare ourselves as far as throwing LHP Wally Marceli: 3.94 ERA/5-3 W-L/47 SO/59.1 IP LHP Shaffer Hall: 2.19 ERA/10-1 W-L/67 SO/83 IP at Jefferson College LHP Nick Czzy: 4.60 ERA/4-8 W-L/62 SO/72.1 IP LHP Sam Freeman: 3.20 ERA/10-1 W-L/50 SO/50.2 IP at North Central Texas College RHP Andres Esquibel: 4.66 ERA/7-3 W-L/50 SO/67.2 IP LHP Andy Marks: 5.52 ERA/5- W-L/91 SO/89.2 IP live in the cages and stuff like that." Czyz said. "But we're really looking forward to getting outside." As for the incumbents, Czyz and Marciel, they've already run the gauntlet of pitching in the Big 12 and will be expected to improve upon their numbers from a year ago. Other than his 4-8 record Czyz had a solid sophomore season, starting all 14 of his appearances. He was second on the team with a 4.60 ERA, 62 strikeouts and 72.1 innings pitched. Marcel began 2007 as a reliever and midweek starter, but by seasons end, he found himself in the weekend rotation with the lowest ERA on the team - 3.94. His freshman campaign was capped off when he was named second team all-freshman by "Ping! Baseball." These five candidates will get their first chance to claim a spot in Kansas' weekend rotation in this weekend's five-game series with Hawaii-Hilo. However, with only three games per weekend thereafter, two will be moved in midweek starting roles. Of course, no matter who Kansas' top three starters are after this weekend, in about a month a familiar face will be thrown into the mix. Junior lefty Andy Marks was the third member of last season's weekend trio,but he's been out of commission since the fall when he had surgery on the labrum in his throwing shoulder. Marks hasn't experienced any setbacks in his rehab and Price said he hoped his top pitcher from a year ago would return by late March, when Kansas heads to Bradenton, Fla., for a spring break tournament. Last season, Marks led Kansas with 91 strikeouts, the eighth most in a season by a Kansas pitcher, and tallied a 3.28 ERA over his final six starts. When he does return, Price expects to pitch him in the Friday slot. Marks update Junior left-hander Andy Marks threw his first bullpen of the season on Saturday without any complications. Coach Hitch Price said Marks was supposed to throw at 50 percent Saturday, but actually kicked it up to 75 percent. Nevertheless, Marks got through the session pain-free with good mechanics. For now, Marks is scheduled to throw 35 pitches a day until he's ready to increase his workload. If all goes according to plan, there will be one less spot in the weekend rotation open to the other five candidates. In the meantime, the candidates will use the competition as added motivation to make up for Marks' absence. "He's a huge loss for us." Cazy said, "but we brought in a couple guys and there's some guys who need to step up a little bit and kind of fill his role and take some innings away from him until he gets back." —Edited by Russell Davies NEED CASH?

STUDY ABROAD FAIR WEDNESDAY FEB. 20, 2008 10:30 - 3:30PM KANSAS UNION 4TH FLOOR office of study abroad • 108 Lippincott Hall • osa@ku.edu • 864-3742 MLB SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jose Guillen arrived right on time Tuesday, bouncing into the Kansas City clubhouse bright and early with a happy smile and a polite refusal to talk about steroids, the Mitchell Report or the 15-day suspension hanging over his head. The power-hitting outfielder said he would discuss all that after his appeal is decided. ASSOCIATED PRESS "I'm pretty sure we're going to be talking before the season starts, as soon as the situation gets resolved," he said. "Right now, it's in the process and I'm looking forward to getting this over with." Last December, literally hours after Kansas City signed him to a three-year, $36 million contract, Guillen was suspended for 15 days for violation of baseball's drug policy. He had been linked in media reports to the buying of thousands of dollars worth of human growth hormone. He appealed immediately and an arbitrator's decision is expected before the end of spring training. Royals players prepare to appeal drug suspension Guillen spent much of the first full morning of the Royals' camp introducing himself to players he hadn't met and hugging those he's known while playing for eight different teams in 11 years. Guillen said he's been keeping up with the Mitchell Report and baseball's embarrassing steroids scandal. He'll be the highest paid player per year in Kansas City history, counted on to provide much-needed pop in the middle of a weak lineup. "They know what they got, so I'm a player and I'm going to work hard and do the best I can to help this team win," Guillen said. If Guillen's suspension is not reduced, he will miss 12 games because the penalty starts on the first day of the season, when the Royals are off. Olivos' suspension is not based on days, but on games. He'll sit out five games regardless of when they are played. Guillen is not the only new Royal who is appealing a suspension. Backup catcher Miguel Olivo is appealing a five-game penalty for an on-field fight near the end of last season with the Florida Marlins. If the players don't win their appeals, the Royals will probably go short-handed and open the season with a 24- instead of a 25-man roster, leaving off either a pitcher or a position player. They would have a backup catcher to replace Olivo in case something should happen to starter John Buck. That would not be ideal for a team that notoriously gets off to slow starts. But the Royals insisted they knew a suspension was a possibility before signing Guillen, who has a 2.74 lifetime average with 166 home runs and 673 RBIs. "We talked about it before the winter meetings, we talked about it during the winter meetings," said manager Trey Hillman. "We knew it was a possibility with the Guillen situation. And obviously, it affects us. --- --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2008 SPORTS 5B KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Few games end with as much excitement the Jayhawks 62-61 victory over Nebraska on Sunday. And the great news is that a win like that has a way of propelling a team forward. Kansas strolls into the United Spirit Arena as winners of three of its last four games, while Texas Tech limps into its home arena on a five-game losing streak. The Jayhawks will still be pumped up from that last-second victory and the only question is if they'll be able to harness that energy into a 40-minute effort on the court. A road win in Lubbock could go a long way with the NCAA selection committee, something that's surely in the back of the minds of everyone on the team. QUESTION MARK Will three Jayhawks score in double figures? For the second time all year, four Kansas players contributed at least 10 points in the Nebraska victory. Balance like that is nearly impossible to stop, but it's more realistic to try and get consistent points out of three players. This season the Jayhawks are 6-2 when at least three players each double digit scoring totals. Sophomore guard Danielle McCray is a lock for at least 10 points every game, and the most encouraging thing about the production on Sunday was that freshman center Krysten Boogaard wasn't even one of the players in double figures. Nebraska seems to have her figured out - she scored a combined seven points in both meetings - but no one else does and she'll be right back to her 9.5 ppg.

McCray calmly buried the first free throw and bricked the second to get Kansas the win. McCray's playing like she did in the nonconference games and that's exactly why the Jayhawks will compete in every game left on the schedule. ★★★☆ Taylor McIntosh, 5-foot-11 senior forward 6.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg McIntosh has been almost non-existent in the past month, but she made her presence felt Sunday. The senior filled the stat sheet with 11 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals. With only five regular season games left, it would be nice to see McIntosh end her career on a positive note. M. Kwabena Eyre Jacobs ★★★★ LaChelda Jacobs, 5-foot-10 sophomore guard 5. 3 ppg, 50 percent from the field Texas Tech (14-11,2-9) Jacobs' play is always bigger against teams from Texas. Last season, Jacobs put up a career high 18 points against Baylor.

Though the Lady Raiders are struggling, Seals is one of the conferences top rebounders and is shooting nearly 50 percent from the field. She is also making her presence felt at the free throw line. The junior is eighth in the conference at 74 percent while making more than four free throws per game. -Taylor Bern MALENA KUBIRI ★★★☆☆ Kelly Kohn Seals Erin Myrick 6-foot-3 senior center Though Myrick's cumulative numbers are good, she is scoring in double figures in 23 minutes per game; her form in Big 12 play hasn't been nearly as solid. Her scoring and rebounding numbers both drop against conference foes. Even more troubling, Myrick has been invisible in the Lady Raider last two games and will struggle to keep up with the Jayhawks' freshman center Krysten Boogaard. M. W. H. M.

Unless Murphree finds her shooting stroke, Kansas will be able to clog the lane to prevent Seals from getting too comfortable. ★★☆★★ Murphree TT TIPOFF — Andrew Wiebe ATAGLANCE Texas Tech has lost five straight. The Lady Raiders are essentially playing for pride at this point and with their next three games at home, they have a chance to start building momentum for next season. Kristy Curry's team has simply been putrid on the road, where they are 3-7 overall and 0-6 in conference play, so a prolonged stay in Lubbock is good news for everyone involved. QUESTION MARK Will the Lady Raiders find the home form they showed against Texas and Colorado? It all depends on whether Seals brings the dominating attitude that destroyed the Longhorns and the Buffaloes. If she can drop 27 points and grab 14 rebounds like she did against Texas, Kansas will be hard pressed to win. If not, it could be a long day for the fading Lady Raiders. -Andrew Weibe MALT-O-MEAL CEREALS 179 SELECT VARIETIES, 21-25.5 OZ.

Richard voiced her concern Wednesday night at the Senate Students Rights Committee meeting about a proposed student fee cut that would cut funding to non-revenue sports. Accomodations, like the boathouse, for non-revenue sports depend on the current student fees. Fee continues amid controversy Senate votes to continue $80-a-year charge to subsidize KU athletics budget BY BRENNA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com The Student Senate finance committee voted down a resolution to eliminate the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee. Students have voted to pay $80 a year for this fee, which goes to the Athletics Department. In spring 2006, students voted to raise the fee from $20 to $40 a semester, which gave the department $1.9 million a year in student money. Fifteen dollars of the $20 increase was allocated to help build a new boathouse for the rowing team. Eleven members of the committee voted to pass the bill and six voted it down, but two-thirds of senators have to vote yes to pass a resolution. Lennea Carty, Andover senior and junior/senior CLAS senator, wrote the bill to lower required campus fees for students who cannot afford them. She said she had heard people complaining about the fee, but when no one wrote a bill to eliminate it, she decided to write one herself. "I don't care if it polarizes Student Senate," Carty said. "If it's the right thing to do I'll do it." She said after she talked to a friend who couldn't afford the increases, she decided to do the only thing she could to help: write legislation to lower fees. Carly said she also wrote the bill because it violated a Senate regulation by funding e "Eighty dollars is a heating bill in winter and that's three new pairs of shoes depending on where you shop," Carty said. A. K. C. Jon Goering/KANSAN Brian Hardouin, Broomfield, Colo., law senator, and Lennea Cardy, junior/senior CLAS senator, argue in favor of cutting the student fee for non-revenue sports. Cardy argued the fee was unfair to students who could not afford it group that was not open to all KU students. Senate created a subcommittee last year to discuss how the fee should be used. Carty said she did not visit the committee or talk to the department before writing the legislation. "Accountability has always been an issue with this fee," said Brian Hardouin, Broomfield, Colo., law senator. She said it also violated a Senate regulation because it funded a third party. The department is a non-profit organization separate from the University. Sean Lester, associate athletics director, said eliminating the fee that generates $1.9 million a year would directly affect not only users of the boathouse but also the athletics department in general. "It would affect them in 1.9 million different ways," Lester said. Brandon Macneill, another associate athletics director, said athletics director Lew Perkins pledged to keep student passes pass prices the same as long as Senate supplied the student fee. He said the University has the second-lowest sports pass price in the Big 12 at $150. Lester said the department's budget was transparent as it listed all payments for the boathouse. He said the department had so far paid $1.3 million of the $1.8 million cost of the boathouse. Hailee Jones, Burden senior and member of the rowing team, said the boathouse facility before the fee was introduced was nothing more than a chain-link fence. She said the University was one of two Division I schools in the country with a rowing program without a boathouse. She said when the microburst hit Lawrence in March 2006, some of their $40,000 boats were damaged. Rowers also didn't have a locker room, a place to have team meetings and experienced safety problems. "I've gone to school here for almost six years, and the department is the most unresponsive organization on campus to student needs." Foss said. Eric Foss, Overland Park law senator, said the fee should be removed because the department was not concerned about students. Carty said she felt her legislation had become a coalition bill where a whole coalition was opposing it. She said she felt some people were intimidated by the department and were reluctant to stand up to it. "Athletics is so close to the pulse of this University, it's considered untouchable," Carty said. Joanne Bauer, Leawood freshman and associate finance student senator, said she was originally a sponsor of bill but removed her name because she wanted to hear more debate about the bill. "We don't want to alienate athletics because they help a lot of students." Bauer said... Jordan Williams, Coffeyville junior and Queers and Allies senator, was also originally a sponsor of the bill but removed his name. He said he went to talk to Ray Wittlinger, student body vice president, and Adam McGonigle, student executive committee chair and current United Students presidential candidate, for advice about the legislation. He said McGonigle was adamant about making sure he could vote however he wanted to. He said Wittlinger brought up some good points about the legislation but did not imply how to vote. She said she was not confronted to remove her name from the legislation and would probably have supported the bill if it had made it to full Senate. Wittlinger said he had worked to make sure all senators were informed about the bill and that coalitions didn't influence how senators voted. "I don't want to hurt my coalition," Williams said, who is a member of United Students. Williams said he felt the fee was disproportionate compared to other fees, but also did not want to alienate athletes, who are a great asset to the voting constituency. McGonigle said he had not told people how to vote and was happy to be a member of a coalition where people have their own brains. He added that he did not support the bill because it was extreme. "We could sit back, do nothing and pretend like nothing's wrong, or completely cut the fee," McGonigle said. "I think the right decision is somewhere in between there." Tom Cox, Shawnee senior and holdover senator, was originally a sponsor on the bill but removed his name because he also felt the bill was one extreme fee option. He said he would rather find a compromise than remove the entire fee. "Extremes force facilitated discussions." Cox said. 老朴 —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina 4. 5. 2A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY BABY KANSAN THURSDAY FEBRUARY 21, 2008 quote of the day "Yoga is the fountain of youth.

Yoga Club BY HELEN MUBARAK hmubarak@kansan.com Lindsay Major, Chicago, ill. senior, practices yoga with Yoga Club in the Burge Union Tuesday night. Yoga Club offers free yoga every day for students who are interested. When the Student Recreation Fitness Center stopped offering free fitness classes in the fall of 2006, Brandon Hidaka, Prairie Village senior, and Molly Daugherty, Topeka junior, founded the Yoga Club in order to give students and faculty the chance to try yoga free of charge. Although Hidaka usually leads the class, guest teachers from yoga studios in Lawrence teach on occasion. Recruiting different instructors allows club members to gain exposure to many styles of yoga. 中華醫學院舞蹈研究所 The club meets Tuesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Courtside Room of the Burge Union. Its members currently include only students, but Hidaka said faculty were more than welcome to join. "The club was founded on the belief that yoga is a right, not a privilege." Daugherty said. Hidaka, who is now an instructor at the recreation center, experienced yoga for the first time in the summer of 2006 after taking an interest in Eastern thought and practices. "I found it to be a wonderful blend of mindfulness, strength and flexibility," Hidaka said. "I'm the kind of person who loves a good workout. After my first class, my entire body was sore the next day. I was hooked." Hidaka said yoga strengthened muscles proportionally to how useful they were for the body. He also said it helped him relieve stress. "Stress physically manifests itself in hunched shoulders, a higher heart rate and shallow building," Hidaka said. "I have techniques to quell it... I roll my shoulders down and back, away from my ears...take a couple of deep breaths through my nose and feel my heart recede." In addition to the physical benefits of yoga as a form of exercise, it also holds a therapeutic quality for many people. Daugherty said she used yoga as a vehicle for self-discovery and self-actualization. "I am drawn to the introspection that yoga allows," Daugherty said. "The positions are challenging enough that full concentration on the body is required. Through this Chris Westphal, Kansas City senior, has been involved with the club since its inception. He said yoga helps him in his ordinary life. concentration, a lot can be learned about the state of oneself "It's a good combination of stretching, strengthening and focus," Westphal said. "It's great for studying." Hidaka said he has noticed camaraderie develop between club members. "Personally, my relationships with my friends has benefited from sharing the experience of yoga with them," Hidaka said.

ODD NEWS Man's best friend gives back, saves furry friends HOWELL, Mich. — He's donated blood 20 times and is being honored by the Livingston County chapter of the American Red Cross. Lurch's owner, Joni Melvin-Thiede, said Lurch donates blood for other canines about once every four weeks. His blood has helped dozens, including saving one dog who got into some rat poison. "We're doing something different this year," executive director Diane Serra said. "We're honoring Lurch because he's actually donated blood." Not bad for a 200-pound, 2-year-old English mastiff who answers to the name Lurch. He'll receive the chapter's "Pet's Best Friend" award at an event here Thursday. Besides being cooperative with nurses, Lurch is also friendly with his housemates: four pugs, seven cats and the occasional litter of kittens. There's also an American mastiff named Lucas, who teams with Lurch to eat about 200 pounds of food per month. "You really don't end up knowing which dogs he helps, but his little picture goes on each bag so the person that gets it will actually know it." "Mastiffs are just like 200-pound pugs," Melvin-Thiede said. "They're just as friendly and just as goofy except they have a couple more zeros at the end of the weight." or campus El Lissitzky: futuristic Portfolios will be shown from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. as the South Balcony Gallery in the Spencer Museum of Art.

The Tinker Foundation is an organization dedicated to issues in Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Tinker grant money provides $10,000 per year through 2010 to fund short-term research for KU graduate students from a variety of disciplines. Elizabeth Kuznesof, director of the Center of Latin American Studies, said the Tinker grant was unique because it gave priority to graduate students who had never been to the countries in which they wanted to do research. The terms of the grant also bar any indirect costs, meaning the University does not get a portion of the graduate students' funding like it does for most research grants. Kuznesof said. Research stints for the grant can range from three weeks to a couple of months, and Kuzneso said students could choose when they wanted to do their research. Lisa Rausch, doctoral student in geography, traveled to Monteverde, Costa Rica, in 2003 when she received a Tinker grant as a graduate student in Latin American Studies. "I was toying with the idea that I was going to use that for my master's thesis," Rausch said. "The info I got there cemented my interest." Kuzneso's said other Tinker grant recipients' research included cosmetic surgery in Brazil, Afro-Brazilian singing groups and indigenous land control in Mexico and Latin America. She went to Monteverde during her winter break to study the effect of coffee cooperatives.

Graduate students in anthropol (For detailed information visit Center of Latin American Studies Web site.) ogy, economics, architecture and social welfare have been among those to receive grant money in the past. Kuznesof said. Rausch said she encouraged any graduate student interested in Latin America, Spain or Portugal to apply for the grant. "It's a great opportunity to experience what a place is like - especially if you haven't visited the place before," she said. "There aren't a lot of those grants." Kuznesov said the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center had already promised to match the Tinker grants awarded to any graduate student from their department or institution. She said the money would be used to cover airfare, lodging and other costs associated with the research. The deadline for this year's grant applications is Feb. 25. Students can submit research proposals and applications to the Center of Latin American Studies in room 320 of Bailey Hall. Edited by Nick Mangiaracina Kansas sports teams 'think pink' PHILANTHROPY Athletes and coaches contribute to cancer awareness and research causes BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com Sports teams across the nation are putting in their two cents to raise awareness for cancer research and funding. The Jayhawks are no exception. Several teams at the University of Kansas have worked with cancer organizations to raise awareness. The most recent was the women's basketball team's involvement Sunday in the "Think Pink" breast cancer initiative. Teams and fans wore pink for the game. Across the country, more than 1.000 schools have participated in "Think Pink" games. The Women's Basketball Coaches Association, or WBCA, started the "Think Pink" initiative last year after North Carolina State coach Kay Yow's breast cancer returned. You had to take a leave of absence from her program, but came back later that season. The WBCA, Yow and the V Foundation, another cancer awareness and research program started by former North Carolina State men's basketball coach Jim Valvano, worked together to start the Kay Yow WCBA Cancer Fund in December. "Women's basketball is becoming the medium to discuss the breast cancer cause," said Beth Bath, CEO of the WCBA. "These young people and coaches are speaking out, and that's been a positive effect of the whole initiative" Iowa State held a "Think Pink" men's game Feb. 9 against Texas. The fans wore pink shirts and players wore pink shoeslaces. to their Feb. 2 game at Colorado as part of Coaches vs. Cancer. In 2005, Kansas played St. Josephs University in the Jimmy V Classic, and played in the Coaches vs. Cancer preseason tournament in 2000. Coaches vs. Cancer is a collaboration between the National Association of Basketball Coaches, or NABC, and the American Cancer Society. Reggie Minton, deputy executive director of the NABC, said some coaches, like Syracuse coach Jim "If we can educate people from a young age about lifestyle choices they can make to help reduce their risk, then we're doing a great service." Iowa State chose to have the event during a men's basketball game because the wife of Iowa State coach Greg McDermott was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. The Kansas men's basketball team has also been involved in cancer awareness. Coach Bill Self and the rest of his staff wore sneakers JIM MARCHIONY Associate Athletics director Boeheim, put their names on the line to raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer. Minton said Boeheim raised between $600,000 and $700,000 annually. Other sports at the University have raised money for a larger organization. The volleyball and softball teams donated the funds they raised at events to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a breast cancer awareness and research fund. The volleyball team's "Dig for the Cure" asked fans to pledge an amount per dig. The softball team's Jayhawk Pink Classic tournament asked fans for donations and featured pink bases on the diamond. Susan G. Komen for the Cure works with many other high-profile groups to raise breast cancer awareness. Its most noted sporting event is Major League Baseball's use of pink bats on Mother's Day each year. Last year more than 200 MLB players used the bats, which were later auctioned off to raise more money for the charity. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said that athletics were an important medium for spreading cancer awareness and healthy living. "If we can educate people from a young age about lifestyle choices they can make to help reduce their risk, then we're doing a great service," he said. —Edited by Madeline Hyden TRAGEDY Four children killed in school bus accident COTTONWOOD. Minn. ASSOCIATED PRESS COTTONWOOD, Minn. — Motorists who came across a fatal school bus crash here quickly turned into rescuers, helping the driver pull screaming children out of the tipped-over bus and ferrying them to hospitals in their own cars. Four children aboard the yellow bus were killed Tuesday afternoon. and at least 14 people were injured. "I parked my car and called 911, and ran to the school bus and the driver was handing kids out the door as fast as I could take them." Karen Mahlum told the Marshall Independent. "They were screaming and screaming on the bus. There was so many kids." Rescue crews from Cottonwood and surrounding communities were quickly on the scene, and some of the emergency workers knew many of the 28 children on the bus. "It's a very rural community, a very close community," Sgt. Kathy Pederson of the Minnesota State Patrol said of the town of 1,150 people about 140 miles southwest of the Twin Cities. Officials at Cottonwood's Lakeview School canceled Wednesday's classes, as they prepared to make grief counselors available to stricken students. Authorities did not release the names or ages of the four victims.

Oklahoma is requesting a preliminary injunction to stop poultry companies from dropping animal waste in a health threat to hundreds of people who visit the river valley each year. Edmondson told a federal judge Tuesday that waste from the birds is measured in tons and not pro- ...the amount of phosphorous dumped on the ground in the watershed each year is equivalent to the waste of 10.7 million people. the 1 million-acre watershed. State Attorney General Drew Edmondson maintains that unless the court grants the request by the spring, the fecal bacteria found in the waste could pose cessed, treated or diluted but dumped on the land "ostensibly as fertilizer but far in excess of agronomic needs, in the most environmentally and ecologically sensitive watershed in Oklahoma." The hearing on the injunction is expected to last several days and is part of an Oklahoma lawsuit that accuses Arkansas-based poultry companies of polluting the watershed with chicken litter. "Our evidence will show that these persistent and pervasive violations of state and federal law have infested the rivers and springs and wells of the Illinois River Watershed with biological pathogens that have created an imminent and substantial threat to human health." Edmondson said. Patrick Ryan, an attorney for Tyson Foods, Inc., responded that the injunction seeks to disrupt an industry that has operated successfully in the watershed for decades. He also accused the state of creating the science to suit its case. "There is nothing more going on in this watershed than the rest of the state," Ryan said. More than 576,000 acres of the watershed are located in Oklahoma. State and environmental officials contend that years of illegal spreading of the poultry waste, which contains bacteria, antibiotics, growth hormones and harmful metals, is killing Oklahoma's scenic lakes. Edmondson sued the poultry companies in 2005, saying litter pollution rendered Lake Tenkiller in northeastern Oklahoma 70 percent oxygen dead and accused poultry companies of treating Oklahoma's rivers like open sewers. He also said the amount of phosphorous dumped on the ground in the watershed each year is equivalent to the waste of 10.7 million people. Named in the 2005 complaint are Tyson Foods Inc., Tyson Poultry Inc., Tyson Chicken Inc., Cobb-Vantress Inc., Aviagen Inc., Cal-Maine Foods Inc., Cargill Inc., Cargil Turkey Production L.L.C., George's Inc., George's Farms Inc., Peterson Farms Inc., Simmons Foods Inc., Cal-Maine Farms Inc. and Willow Brook Foods Inc. Sears ordered to fix toppling appliances COURTS ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUISE — Sears Holdings Corp. will install safety brackets on its stoves in millions of households or offer gift cards in settling an Illinois class-action lawsuit over the appliances' supposed propensity to topple. Under an agreement signed off on last month by a Madison County judge, Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Sears will offer to fix all brands of its freestanding or slide-in kitchen ranges in as many as 3.9 million homes by bolting them to a wall or floor. The deal covers Sears ranges sold from mid-2000 through last Sept. 18. The deal resolving the lawsuit dating to July 2004 also requires Sears to install safety brackets in newly purchased ranges for the next three years. Attorneys for the plaintiffs estimate the settlement could cost Sears more than $500 million. Sears, in a statement Wednesday to The Associated Press, said only that "the parties dispute many aspects of the case, including the value of the settlement, which Sears estimates to be a small fraction of what plaintiffs counsel estimates."

St. Lawrence KS OPINION 7A THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2008 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COMMENTARY Class shouldn't be as bad as McCormick's ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON I'm in my third year, and I've taken many classes with a wide variety of instructors. Some classes I enjoyed so much I retook them, solely based on my love of the subject. Kidding. I wish that were the reason. Aside from the knowledge I've gained from those classes,I've gained a little insight of my own: The instructor makes the class.' In retaking a couple classes, I've had completely different experiences. The second time was always better. My freshman year I took an anthropology class. It was my only class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but that wasn't my thrill killer. He exhibited no obvious style, flare or enthusiasm for the subject. I took the class again with a different instructor. It had a completely different format. The classes were about as comparable as Grey Goose and McCormick's vodka. Although they are the same type of alcohol and both get you drunk, it's just not the same. It's a different drunk, a different hangover and a different experience. It could be so terrible that you'll never drink vodka again. I'm not always going to like certain professors, but if they don't exude excitement about the subject, how can they expect us to get passionate about it? One instructor who embodies this passion in his lectures is Craig Martin, professor of biology. I took Biology 100 my freshman year, and I thoroughly enjoyed that class, so much that I didn't have to retake it. Martin was funny and passionate about what he taught, which excited me and kept my attention. I've had countless conversations with friends who have taken the same classes as me, different instructors, different experiences and different grades. It's fairly safe to say that a majority of students base class choices on time of the class and making sure it works with the rest of our schedule. "Some of my best teachers are the ones who can be considered to be somewhat unorthodox," Whitney Rowland, Olathe junior, said. "They have a deep passion for the subject matter, and that forces us to engage in the class with the same level of passion, whether we like the material or not." ONE COULD ARGUE THAT THE IA zzz zzz zzz Unfortunately, when we enroll in a class, we can't check the past experiences of previous students to decide on which instructor to choose. Faculty: Get excited about your class! Most end up with a lotto pick when it comes to the instructors we end up with and how good they are. Students pay good money to be here, and you get money to teach us. We're supposed to be learning, not being put to sleep. Some instructors need to step it up and earn the prestigious title that the school is paying them for. Students shouldn't just suck it up because it's not us.

AND THATS QUANTUM THEORY Tyler Doehring COMMENTARY Wasteful store policies hurt those in need CAITLIN THORNBURGH Living in weather as unpredictable as Kansas', where its 60 degrees one day and drops to below freezing the next, we know that throwing away a perfectly good blanket is wasteful, especially in the winter. OH MY GOD LARRY! WE CAN'T WEAR THESE! THE PRINTING IS WAY OFF CENTERED! GARBAGE N OUTFITTERS However, destroying the blanket before you throw it away so no one else can have it is something that goes beyond thoughtlessness. Lawrence's Urban Outfitters has adopted a policy based on this wasteful outlook. According to an Urban Outfitters employee, merchandise no longer sold in stores because of damages, such as a water stain or tear, is not shipped back to a corporate office with other products to be redistributed. It is being slashed or broken before being thrown in the company's dumpster. company's wasteful policies? The company claims to be targeting "urban minded" individuals. In today's society, has "urban minded" come to represent consumers so absorbed by the product that completely ignore the A source, who has worked for Urban Outfitters, and agreed to talk to me anonymously, said the process of destroying items, such as blankets and sheets, happened generally because they could be damaged. This could mean something like a stain or a tear. Tyler Doehring But when it's freezing outside, homeless people aren't going to care if their blanket has a stain in the corner. Attempting to call Urban Outfitter's corporate office, I struggled to come up with the answer. The company did not return any calls regarding my inquiry, and the only actual person I talked to, directed me to the company's Web site, which lacks information about the policy dealing with damaged goods. The Web site for Urban Outfitters says that its "differential shopping experience" is a way to "create an emotional bond with the 18- to 30-year old target customer." Why aren't the items not fit to suit given to someone who needs them? I fit that age group. I'm not sure I've emotionally bonded with anything, but I think the clothes are all right. Then the site says something about a "lifestyle-sensitive store environment." What in the hell does that mean? It also says the company's goal is to be the "brand of choice for well educated, urban-minded young adults." Walking into Urban Outfitters on Massachusetts Street, I'm greeted with a slightly overbearing rhythm from some obscure song, which I'm sure has been carefully selected and added to an "ultimate urban playlist." I briefly walk around the store noting the various sales on blankets and rugs and telling myself no matter how cute it is I'm not spending more than $20 on a T-shirt. I found a store manager working in the dressing room. I asked him questions about the store's policy regarding its handling of merchandise that it is no longer able to sell because of damage. The manager, who asked for his name not to be used, first said that employees have "orders" from corporate as to what merchandise to send back for eventual redistribution. When I informed him that a source had given me information about merchandise being thrown away and destroyed, he changed his story. I asked if this was always the case, and he said yes. He quickly confirmed that this does happen for things that can't be shipped back, such as plates and glasses. When I asked if this included blankets and sheets, he hesitantly said yes. There is a middle ground to be found. I worked for Panera Bread for three years, and at the end of the day, various charities that had made previous arrangements picked up the excess food. A wasteful attitude has permeated our society. Recycling doesn't only apply to the newspaper you're holding or the pop cans building up in a corner of your kitchen. Especially during the winter, getting a second use out of old coats, blankets and clothes should be a priority. A charitable organization should be allowed to put the "trash" of Urban Outfitters to good use. Become more informed about the places where you shop and the policy behind the company. If a main goal of Urban Outfitters is to sell to well educated people, the company should be more up front about its policies and reexamine its actions the next time it orders an employee to slash a blanket before throwing it in a dumpster.

Now the 83-year-old house at 1142 Indiana St. will be known as the construction site for the Oread Inn, which Lawrence city commissioners approved last Tuesday. 1429 The house that sits at 1142 indiana St. is scheduled for demolition. The house has had its share of unique residents over the years. Its visitors have included students, but also bats, raccoons and possums. The house will be torn down this spring to pave the way for the construction of the Oread Inn. The historic house has had many tenants over the years. 1142 Indiana, along with five other houses in the area, are now scheduled for demolition. Lynn Zollner, administrator to the historic resources commission, expects the demolition will begin sometime this spring. Ed Kenney, KU alumnus, lived in the house during the summer of 1972 - back when it was an apartment building. Jon Goerina/KANSAI "It was a really nice apartment, "It was a real but it was never really a place to party," Kenney said. Kenney's son, Brendon Kenney, and seven other students changed all that 32 years later when they moved in and turned it into the Sigma Epsilon Chi-CSE House "The bat went apeshit and started swooping around all over the place knocking into everything." with the Greek letters hanging from the front balcony. No, they were not a real fraternity. Sam Carners, one of the eight students who lived in the house from 2004 to 2005, said the decision to name it the SEX house was a unanimous household decision. JENNA MCMILLEN Wichita junior described the house as the perfect place to party. "We changed the name because the guys before us - the rugby team - called it the Rugby House and we didn't want to be the guys that lived in the Rugby House; we wanted to be the guys that owned the Sex House," Carnes said. Andrew Kadel, one of other former SEX House roommates. "Our first party got so big we saw a cop pull someone over and asked him to come help us kick people out," Kadel said. "At one of our biggest parties, we had six kegs and a dodge ball tournament in our driveway." The owners before Kadel and his friends may have had the same idea, he said, because when they moved in, the basement was filled with sand left from over from when the KU Rugby Team owned the house. Kadel said football tailgating was what gave the house its popularity. At the 2004 rivalry game between KU and KSU alone, Kadel said his household raised more than $500 from parking. "Our landlord was pissed because the guys before us had a beach party or something they never cleaned up," Kadel said. Other than the sand in the basement and a faulty balcony, Kadel described the house as a pretty nice place to live. "We couldn't go out on our balcony or else the roof would cave in, but overall it was in good shape," Kadel said. "I was really disappointed when I found out it was getting torn down." In 2005, the Sex house guys moved out and the G-Dib girls moved in. Katie Feeley, Chicago senior, said she came up with the house's new name when she bought a large coin with George Washington's logo on it for 50 cents at a sidewalk sale and hung it up on the front of the house. "At first I hung it up as kind of a joke because the Sex House guys used to have their Greek letters up," Feeley said. "After our first party, everyone started calling it the George Washington House so it just sort of became the G-Dub House." Feeyel said she and her roommates threw 10 parties, each with six kegs and a DJ, her sophomore year. In the first year she lived there, she and her roommates received seven citations for disturbing the peace, which Feeley said added up to about $800 to $1,000 in fines. "We sacrificed ourselves for the good cause of college students," Feeley said. "It was above and beyond the definition of a fun, college party-house." Tierney Ross, Chanute junior, and Jenna McMillen, Wichita junior. were among Feeley's roommates during the fall semester of 2006, but moved out because of the house's poor living conditions. "I don't want to be mean or anything, but that house was falling apart," Ross said. A family of raccoons lived in the attic and the chimney, Ross said. Once an upstairs toilet overflowed and leaked through the ceiling into the kitchen. Two different types of mold spawned from the spillage, Ross said, which later spread to the kitchen cupboards and ruined some of the roommates' food. and a possum lived in the trashcan outside. "We named it George." Ross said. "He wasn't mean or anything. He just popped out of the trashcan from time to time to look at us and go back in." McMillen's main complaint was about a family of bats that she said lived in the basement. McMillen experienced a first-person encounter with one of the bats when it snuck up into her room through a furnace in the basement. "None of the property owners could ever find them," she said. "The bat went apeshit and started swooping around all over the place knocking into everything," she said. "I started screaming until it perched on my ceiling and one of my roommates helped me get it out." McMillen and Ross both moved out at the end of the fall semester of 2006. The rest of the G-Dub crew moved out in May of 2007, ending the house's occupancy forever. "I living in that house was the best year of my life," Carres said.

ELECTION ASSOCIATED PRESS Obama wins in two more states WASHINGTON Barack Obama cruised past a fading Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Wisconsin primary and Hawaii caucuses Tuesday night, gaining the upper hand in a Democratic presidential race for the ages. The twin triumphs made 10 straight for Obama, and left the former first lady in desperate need of a comeback in a race she long commanded as front-runner. "The change we seek is still months and miles away," Obama told a boisterous crowd in Houston in a speech in which he also pledged to end the war in Iraq in his first year in office. "I opposed this war in 2002. I will bring this war to an end in 2009. It is time to bring our troops home" he declared. Sen. John McCain, the Republican front-runner, won a pair of primaries, in Wisconsin and Washington, to continue his march toward certain nomination. In a race growing increasingly negative, Obama cut deeply into Clinton's political bedrock in Wisconsin, splitting the support of white women almost evenly with her. According to polling place interviews, he also ran well among working class voters in the blue collar battleground that was prelude to primaries in the larger industrial states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Clinton made no mention of her defeat, and showed no sign of surrender in an appearance in Youngstown, Ohio. + + + + European Union Summer institute Bonn, Germany Brussels, Strasbourg, Berlin Paris, France An academic study and travel program giving students the opportunity to examine firsthand European institutions and the historical, political, and economic dynamics that have shaped what Europe is today.

"But only one of us is ready on day one to be commander in chief, ready to manage our economy, and ready to defeat the Republicans. Only one of us has spent 35 years being a doer, a fighter and a champion for those who need a voice." In a clear sign of their relative standing in the race, most cable television networks abruptly cut away from coverage of Clinton's rally when Obama began to speak in Texas. McCain won the Republican primary with ease, dispatching former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and edging closer to the 1,191 delegates he needs to clinch the GOP nomination at the party convention in St. Paul, Minn. next summer. The Arizona senator also won the primary in Washington, with 19 delegates at stake. In scarcely veiled criticism of Obama, the Republican nominee-in-waiting said, "I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure that Americans are not deceived by an eloquent but empty call for change." McCain's nomination has been assured since Super Tuesday three weeks ago, as first one, then another of his former rivals has dropped out and the party establishment has closed ranks behind him. Not so in the Democratic race, where Obama and Clinton campaign seven days a week, he the strongest black presidential candidate in history, she bidding to become the first woman to sit in the White House. Ohio and Texas vote next on March 4 — 370 convention delegates in all — and even some of Clinton's supporters concede she must win one, and possibly both, to remain competitive. Two smaller states, Vermont and Rhode Island, also have primaries that day.

Texas Tech slipped away with a victory. The Lady Raiders capitalized on Jayhawk turnovers during the second half of the game. The score was 65-61. BY TAYLOR BERN thern@kansan.com Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry had a lot to say to her team at halftime after allowing Kansas to go up 33-21 at the break. Curry's pep talk was all the warm-up Texas Tech needed, though, as the team erased Kansas' lead with an 18-4 run and hung on to win 65-1. Curry felt her message was so important that she kept the Lady Raiders in the locker room longer than usual, preventing them from getting any practice shots before the second half began. The Jayhawks led by at least eight points for much of the first half thanks to solid three-point shooting, their ability to capitalize on turnovers and 13 points from center Krysten Boogaard. Kansas hit 4-of-8 from beyond the arc and scored 12 points off of 17 Texas Tech turnovers. "The first six minutes of the second half, we didn't have an answer to their run," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We just didn't play with the toughness that I thought we did in the first half." In the second half, though, the two teams seemed to switch uniforms because everything that Kansas was doing to Texas Tech early, Texas Tech did to Kansas late. Lady Raiders' forward Dominic Seals started to dominate the post, scoring 12 second-half points while the switch to a 2-3 zone defense nullified Boogaard. "The zone really got us out of rhythm." Henrickson said. "There was no purpose or intent to go away from her (Boogaard), but I thought we just lost our poise and started jacking up some shots." Kansas (15-10, 4-8) couldn't handle Texas Tech's pressure and turned the ball over six times in the first six minutes. The Lady Raiders (15-11, 3-9) were incredibly efficient with the Jayhawks' nine second half turnovers, scoring 16 points off of them. Texas Tech guard Maria Moore scored two of those points when she stole the ball and went the length of the court for a layup to put her team up 38-37 with 14:12 remaining. Kansas would never regain the lead. The Jayhawks did have a chance late in the game as freshman forward Nicollette Smith hit two free throws to pull the deficit back to three with 47 seconds on the clock. However, Lady Raider guard Jordan Murphey made a jump shot with 21 seconds left despite being surrounded by three jayhawk defenders. Sophomore guard Sade Morris was given an easy layup with 12 seconds to go, but Texas Tech pushed the margin back to four with a free throw and Kansas failed to get off a final shot. "We've got to grow up and show some toughness because everybody's fighting for something." Henrickson said. "It will come down to players making plays and playing with some toughness whether you're at home or on the road." In all, the jayhaws had four players score in double figures - Boogaard (17), guard Danielle McCray (15), Smith (11) and Morris (11) - but they also had six players commit at least two turnovers. "You've got to be able to sustain great effort, great focus and concentration," Henrickson said. "And we just didn't do that." Edited by Madeline Hyden BASEBALL Increase in pitchers to relieve team More players in the bullpen this season BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com By the end of last season, Kansas had only three reliable arms out of the bullpen. That shouldn't be an issue in 2008. "Depth-wise, it's the best we've been in the six years I've been here," Price said. "We've obviously continued to up the amount of scholarship money that we spend on pitching." There are as many as six pitchers Price plans to call out of the bullpen, not counting the boost the bullpen will receive from the pitchers who don't make the starting rotation. Kansas' shortlist of relievers includes junior right-handed closer Paul Smyth, senior right-hander Hiarali Garcia and junior left-hander Daniel Manos. Beyond those three are a collection of promising underclassmen: sophomore right-handers Thomas Marcin and Brett Bollman and freshman right-handler T.J. Walz. In addition, whoever winds up starting mid-week for Kansas should also be at Price's disposal in relief during weekend series. Smyth was Kansas' saves leader last season with seven, but perhaps even more importantly, he proved he could be called upon as a work-horse to finish games. As a sophomore, he threw just 12.2 fewer innings than former Jayhawk Don Czyz did the season he set SEE BULLPEN ON PAGE 6B

MATT 4 A Weston White / KANSAN 》 PROFILE Jon Goering/KANSAN SHOREBELD Steve Welmer helps referee the Kansas game against Colorado on Saturday. Welmer has officiated seven Jayhawks games this season, and hit his 90th game on Wednesday night with Kansas State at Nebraska. Referee's love of game brings new meaning BY B.J. BRAINS BJRAINS@KANSAN.COM Have you ever wondered who that tall, balding referee is who always pulls his pants up and is on TV officiating a game seemingly every night? Well his name is Steve Welmer, the iron man of college basketball officiating. A quick look at Welmer's schedule since the Kansas-Colorado game shows just why he holds platinum status on six different airlines. After officiating the Jayhawks' victory on Saturday, Welmer flew from Lawrence to Detroit that night to get into town for Sunday afternoon's national CBS game between Michigan and Ohio State. From there, he traveled to Austin, Texas and worked ESPN's Big Monday game featuring Texas and Texas A&M. Tuesday night he officiated the Baylor at Oklahoma game in Norman, Oklahoma, and last night he worked the Kansas State at Nebraska game on ESPN2. Welmer, who has officiated seven Kansas games this season including Saturday's 69-45 victory against Colorado, called his 90th game of the season last night. He officiates five to six games a week, constantly traveling from city to city for the next game. "Arguably, there probably may never be a guy like me that is able to get a schedule that big," Welmer said. "I take pride in that because I guess that's the American way on everything. I guess it's kind of the male ego thing." During a span from Nov. 20 to Dec. 5, Welmer called a game 16 days in a row. After two days off to recharge his batteries, Welmer refted another 16 days in a row from Dec. 8 to Dec. 23. In all, Welmer refted 32 games in 34 days leading up to the winter break. Welmer is in his 34th year of officiating, including his 27th at the division I level. This will mark the 14th consecutive year that he has worked more division I games than any other official in the United States. Most college referees have worked between 50 and 70 games this year, with many not even coming close to Welmer's schedule. Welmer, who works games for 10 conferences across the country including the Big 12, Big 10, Conference USA, WAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and the Missouri Valley Conference, is assigned a full slate of games by each conference coordinator in August. He lays all of the games out and must choose which game he wants to officiate when multiple conferences assign him games on the same day.

NFL League pushes Spygate investigation BY MICHAEL MAROT ASSOCIATED PRESS made of the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl. INDIANAPOLIS — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hopes the NFL is close to an agreement that will allow former New England Patriots employee Matt Walsh to tell the league about the tapes he is said to have "The lawyers are still talking and we're anxious to speak to him. We're anxious to get an agreement to get him to come forth." Goodell told the Associated Press on Wednesday before the start of the NFL combine. "We hope to be able to talk to him shortly." Herald reported that Walsh claimed he had taped the practice before the Patriots' 20-17 upset of the Rams, who were two-touchdown favorites. Walsh, now a golf pro in Maui, did video work for the Patriots when they won the first of their three Super Bowls after the 2001 season. Three weeks ago, the Boston NFL lawyers have been meeting with Michael Levy, Walsh's Washington-based lawyer, who is seeking further protection for his client if he tells what he knows. Levy said last week that the NFL's offer of protection "is highly conditional and still leaves Mr. Walsh vulnerable. I have asked the NFL to provide Mr. Walsh with the necessary legal protections so that he can come forward with the truth without fear of retaliation and litigation" Goodell has said that Walsh was not interviewed as part of the NFL's investigation into Spygate, which involved the NFL confiscating tapes from a Patriots employee who recorded the New York Jets' defensive signals from the sideline during the opening game of the 2007 season. As a result of that investigation, New England coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 and the team was fined $250,000 and forfeited its 2008 first-round draft choice. engaging in a "pattern of racketeering." Three fans joined in the suit. On Tuesday, Hugh Campbell, the Cincinnati lawyer who filed Gary's suit, said he wanted to add at least two new classes to the action: all employees and players of all NFL teams who were illegally videotaped by the Pats, plus all fans who bought tickets to any game that the Pats illegally taped. He also said he wanted to join with Sen. Arlen Specter, R.-Pa., who also is looking into the allegations. Six confiscated tapes and other documents pertaining to the Patriots' taping were subsequently destroyed by the league. Goodell has defended the destruction of the tapes. Goodell and Specter met last week in Washington. Specter told The Associated Press on Wednesday that if Walsh is under subpoena in a suit, it might solve the problem of protection. "I think now that the lawsuits have been started, that I got the ball rolling, and the plaintiffs' lawyers are picking it up." Specter said. Last week, Willie Gary, who played seven games for the Rams that season, filed suit in New Orleans accusing the Patriots of fraud, unfair trade practices and THINK FAST EAT JIMMY JOHN'S FREAKY FAST!

Feb. 16, at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., the Hanover, Jamaica native posted this year's fastest time run by any woman in the world for the 200-meter dash. It took her a mere 22.94 seconds to cross the finish line. "I have to go and repeat it again because one time doesn't actually do it for me." Anderson commented on her achievement. "My feeling is basically the same," she said. "I have to go and repeat it again because one time doesn't actually do it for me. I haven't realized that I actually ran 22.94 (seconds) because it hasn't miss me yet." "I had no idea that I ran 22.94," she said. "Eric called me that night and he said, 'Did you know you ran the world's fastest time,' and I was like, 'No!'" Anderson was completely unaware that she had run the best time in the world for the year until later that night when she received a phone call from media relations worker Eric Dolan while sleeping. NICKESHA ANDERSON Junior sprinter Running the year's fastest time in the 200 is not what Anderson is most excited about. She said that up until last Saturday's race, she had not run to her full potential. "It wasn't about me running 22.94, it was about executing the race properly," she said. "22.94 was just a bonus for me." Anderson revealed one of the pre-race rituals that she performed before every meet. She said that whenever she saw a safety pin lying on the ground, she picked it up and placed it in her athletic bag. "They say that pins bring you good luck," she said with a laugh. There must have been lots of pins on the ground that day. Anderson's domination in track stems all the way back to her childhood in a small parish of lamaica known as Han over located on the Northwestern tip of the island. Anderson grew up with her mother and four young siblings. Her fondest memories from her childhood in Jamaica are those related to track and field. Anderson said what the sport was like in Jamaica. "Track put Jamaica on the map," she said. "There are a lot of sprinters in Jamaica. A lot. It's harder there to do track because everybody is a sprinter." Anderson credited her mother and grandmother for getting her involved in track and field. She said that they were both great athletes, but that she had let the sport take her the furthest.

Proehl said that she considered being a Jayhawk diver a bonus and that she was thankful to have coaches supportive of academic achievement. Proehl hopes to continue improving after her accomplishments last year in this year's championship. Proehl didn't come to the University just for diving. She intends to major in journalism and said the School of Journalism was one of the big factors in her coming to the University. School is always the most important thing for Proehl. "I'm proud of all of Meghan's efforts, both in and out of the pool," Kansas diving coach Eric Elliott said. "I'm proud of how well she's doing in all parts of life. She's a great representative for the team and for the University." She hopes to make finals in at least one event in conference championships and finish in the top 10 at the Zone Diving Championships. Ultimately, she hopes to help her team. Proehl and her teammates also adopted children for the holiday season through Haskell University. "I love diving, which is why I do it, but my accomplishments in the pool don't mean nearly as much as my ones in the classroom and the community," Proehl said. "I am first and foremost a student; then I am an athlete." "I just want to score as many points as possible because we are going to be extremely competitive this year," Proehl said. "I'm really excited to see what we can all accomplish." In the future, Proehl hopes to improve her diving, continue to pursue a journalism degree and continue to do volunteer work with her team. "I realize that athletes have the opportunity to do so much good and make a positive impact on the community," Proehl said.

However, Kansas coach Ritch Price expressed at Kansas Baseball Media Day on Tuesday that he could foresee his Jayhawks cracking the top five in the Big 12. "Our players understand we play in one of the best leagues in America. If you can finish fifth, you're a Top 25 team," Price said. "That's our goal. Our goal is to be in the top five. We understand we have to overachieve to make that happen." Despite the conference coaches' low expectations for Kansas, there's reason to believe 2008 won't be a replay of 2007 for the Jayhawks. First and foremost, Kansas returns six position players, all three weekend starters and its closer from last year's squad, In addition, Price has added depth to his pitching staff with transfers Shaeffer Hall, Sam Freeman and Daniel Manos and signed impressive freshmen such as third baseman Tony Thompson and catcher Jimmy Waters. which was the youngest in the Big 12. Nevertheless, the Big 12 won't be a cakewalk for the jayhawks. For the seventh straight season, Texas earned the most votes, including eight first-place votes. Behind Texas were Missouri, Baylor and Texas A&M. All four teams were clubs Price acknowledged on Tuesday as the best in the conference. Missouri and Baylor also received first-place votes. Oklahoma State was voted fifth, Nebraska came in at sixth and Kansas State and Oklahoma tied in the voting for seventh place. Next came Kansas, which received just two more points in the voting than Texas Tech, which rounded out the poll.

Wednesdays and Saturdays are the big days for the coordinators, so I try to split those up evenly or close to even so I can be as fair as possible with everyone." Welmer pays his wife, a retired flight attendant from Northwest airlines, to book all of his travel accommodations including airfare, hotels and rental cars. College basketball officials in Welmer said. "Some guys like to get the extra sleep at night and don't fly out until late morning and get in during the afternoon. For me, it works better to go out early in the morning and then take a two—, three—, four—hour nap." Welmer then awakes from his nap, showers and heads to the arena for that night's game. Referees are required to arrive 90 minutes prior to tip off each night After the "I don't think I ever go onto the court with anything less than a full tank." STEVE WELMER Referee the large conferences are all paid around $1,000 per game plus $200 per diem and coach airfare. After the game, Welmer grabs a light meal such as chicken strips, heads to bed about 11 or 12, and starts the whole process again the next day. A normal day for Welmer starts at 4:30 or 5 a.m. when he wakes up to catch the first flight out to assure he gets to his next city on time. He usually arrives by late morning and grabs a bowl of soup for lunch before settling in for a long afternoon nap. "There's not very many days where I don't get a two to three-hour nap every single day" "I don't think I ever go onto the court with anything less than a full tank," Welmer said. "I feel as good right now as I did in the first of November." So the next time you turn on the TV and see Welmer working a game, just think of what he went through just to get there.

BULLPEN (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "If they have me throw a lot of outings, they'll have to limit the innings," said Smyth, "but I'm more than willing to throw Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, as well." "Something that the starters push you around about is, 'You gave up my run this day,' and 'You gave up my run that day,' so the ideal thing is to keep a low ERA and keep the runs that you allow as close as possible to the earned runs you allow." Smyth said. "That way you're not cashing other guys' runs in." Kansas' single season saves record. The rubber arm Smyth exhibited last season may be especially valuable this season, considering the Jayhawks have 41 games in the first eight weeks of the season. Smyth may be summoned from the bullpen even more often, with less recovery time between games. However, with the group of pitchers joining Smyth in the bullpen, his workload shouldn't be nearly that rigorous. Kansas' left-handed specialist will likely be Manos, a transfer from Santa Ana College where he showed impeccable control. In 23.1 innings, Manos struck out 22 and walked just four. Although he missed part of the season with a muscle strain in his back, Garcia proved to be one of Kansas' top setup men. Only Smyth made more appearances out of the bullpen than Garcia and he was especially dependable down the stretch. In his last five appearances, Garcia allowed only one run. In his final two appearances, against Kansas Wesleyan and Chicago State respectively, he pitched 2.2 innings, allowing five runs on four hits, three walks and one wild pitch, and he hit three batters. However, Price said Marcin was on his way to putting his control problems behind him and could soon fulfill the promise he showed early last year. "He has a true curveball, which is almost unseen anymore in this day and age, but he has the overhand, 12-6 breaking ball!" Price said. One of Kansas' best pitches at the beginning of 2007 was Marcin. After the first seven innings of his collegiate career, he had yet to allow a run. But, as if a switch had been flipped, Marcin struggled mightly with his command toward the end of the season. While these six relievers will battle for innings out of the bulpen, there's no question as to who will be collecting the saves again this season. The only question is how many saves Smith will rack up this time around. Sophomore Wally Marciel, junior Nick Cczyz and, when he returns, Junior Andy Marks are the favorites to claim spots in the weekend rotation. If they do, other candidates for starting jobs — senior Andres Esquibel, junior Sam Freeman and sophomore Shaeffer Hall would be moved to the midweek and also would be available to pitch out of the bullpen on weekends. Splitting time as a reliever last season, Esquibel compiled a team-best seven victories. CONTRIBUTING TO STUDENT SUCCESS Bollman took a redshirt last season, but most recently he pitched for the Duluth Huskies during the summer of 2006. With the Huskies, Bollman went 7-1 with a 1.99 ERA, one save, and 36 strikeouts to 10 walks in 49.2 innings. "Thomas Marcin has an outstanding fastball and, if he continues to improve his command, can be as good as anybody on our staff," Price said. "His bullpins have been better. His command still needs to improve, but he's been significantly better." starting candidates complement to his 11-1 record and 1.81 ERA. For a youngster, Walz also has an impressive curveball. SENATE Walz is the youngest pitcher who could make an impression out of the bulpen for Kansas. As a senior at Skutt Catholic High School in Omaha, Neb. Walz led the state of Nebraska with 136 strikeouts, which was a fine "I don't want to pick a number, but however many they give me, that's how many I'd like to take," Smyth said. "I don't want to blow any this year." >> PGA BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS Tiger rallies late to take tournament —Edited by Samuel Lamb MARANA, Ariz. _ Tiger Woods produced another incredible comeback in the desert Wednesday, playing the final five holes in 5-under par to turn what looked like certain defeat into an unlikely victory in the Accenture Match Play Championship. P Woods upsets Holmes by playing five under par in final five holes Tiger Woods hits out of the desert rough inside the gallery onto the seventh green during the first round of the Accenture Match Play Championship tournament at The Gallery Golf Club at Dove Mountain Wednesday, in Marana, Arizona. WOOLFS defeated L.B. Holmes 1-up. ASSOCIATED PRESS Woods fell behind J.B. Holmes on the first hole when his tee shot sailed into the desert and out of play, and he was three holes down with five to play after taking another penalty shot from the desert. But he turned it around quickly, winning the next four holes, capped by a 35-foot eagle putt on the 17th. He escaped with a 1-up victory on the 18th when Holmes missed an 8-foot birdie putt. It started with a 15-foot birdie on the 14th, followed by a meaningless 18-foot birdie on the 15th, when he only needed two putts to win the hole. The first overhand fist pump came at the 16th when he made a third straight birdie from just over 20 feet to square it for the first time since they shook hands on the tee to start the match. "I just kept telling myself, even when I was 3 down, there's still a chance to win in regulation," Woods said. "I was just going to have to start playing a hell of a lot better. Then all of a sudden, putts started falling in from everywhere." The loudest roar came on the par-5 17th, which Woods reached in two with a 5-wood from the rough. He holed his long eagle putt for his first lead of the match, then held on to avoid what would have been a shocking departure. Holmes, whose big drives kept pressure on Woods the entire match, was helpless at the end. "I got beat," Holmes said. "Playing the best player in the world, 3 up with five to play, I just said, 'Don't do anything stupid. Make him beat you.' And he did." Woods shot 30 on the back nine in his first tournament since he shot 31 on the back nine of the Dubai Desert Classic to overcome a four-shot deficit and win his fourth straight official tournament. "For some reason, momentum just goes your way," Woods said. "Sometimes the run is early in the round, sometimes middle or late. It just so happened that in the last two rounds, it was late. But at least it happened today. At least I had a run. I wasn't playing good enough to win the match unless I had a run." None of the top four seeds had an easy time at Dove Mountain. Ernie Els, the No. 4 seed who changed his mind last week and decided to enter a tournament that has been so vexing, shot 40 on his opening nine and was soundly beaten. 6 and 5, by Jonathan Byrd. It was fourth straight time Els had lost in the first round. Second-seeded Phil Mickelson, the winner Sunday at Riviera, held off Pat Perez 1 up. Third-seeded Steve Stricker needed 20 holes to beat Daniel Chopra, a small measure of revenge. Chopra beat him in a four-hole playoff at the Mercedes-Benz Championship last month. Four of the top eight seeds were gone after the first day of the Match Play, one of the most chaotic days in golf. Jim Furyk (No. 6) continued to struggle with his game, losing to Colin Montgomerie, 3 and 2; Justin Rose (7) fell to Rod Pampling, 2 and 1; and Rory Sabbatini, who played college golf at Arizona, lost to Bradley Dredge, 4 and 3. Then came a charge that sent cheers resounding across the desert fauna, starting with his birdie on the 14th. Holmes three-putted from the back of the 15th to hand Woods' the next hole, and appeared to have the advantage on the 16th when Woods right foot slipped on his downswing, and his shot spun back 20 feet below the hole. "You can never really fancy your chances in this format," Lee Westwood said after making eight birds in a 3-and-2 victory over Brandt Snedeker.

BY CHRIS JENKINS AP SPORTS WRITER DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The NASCAR garage area is filled with snorting 850-horsepower engines that get five miles per gallon on a good day and gruff crew guys who sip coffee out of one plastic foam cup and spit tobacco juice into another. It's not the most likely environment for an environmentalist But that doesn't stop NASCAR driver Brian Vickers from talking up the potential of hydrogen-powered passenger cars or calling out political figures for spending so much time on sports when they should be tackling big issues like global warming. "Congress, unfortunately, has made more progress on steroids in baseball and the Patriots, whether they're taping NFL games, than they have on global climate change, the war, economic recession and a budget that's out of control." Vickers said. "That's what (ticks) me off. I'm passionate about making the world a better place, and global climate change is one of those things." Vickers, who races Toyotas for Red Bull Racing in the Sprint Cup series, is a self-described "huge recycler" who drives a Lexus hybrid away from the track. He can't wait for the day when he can trade that car in for an all-electric model or one that runs on a hydrogen fuel cell. And he's lobbying his sport to do its part, urging officials to increase recycling programs and proposing that NASCAR buy carbon offsets to mitigate its environmental impact — even if that impact already is minimal. "It's a very small footprint we make," Vickers said. "It's only 38 races, 500 miles, 43 cars. The big global picture of things, it's a small place. It is a start, and every little bit matters." Vickers' pro-environment comments might seem out of place in a sport that only recently switched from leaded to unleaded fuel. But NASCAR and its teams are beginning to wave the green flag as corporate sponsors express interest in using racing as a platform to market environmentally friendly products. "At first glance, it might strike some people as unusual bed-flows," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said. "But I think there's an opportunity as all of us try to do a better job as a country on the environment." Goodyear already cuts up used racing tires and recycles them into playground surfaces. A company called Safety-Kleen recycles oil and brake fluid at racetracks. Series sponsor Sprint recycles old cell phones. And in the grandstands, recycling bins are beginning to pop up next to garbage cans — even if the piles of paper in the media center still get thrown away instead of recycled. green building guidelines. And yes, the idea of buying carbon credits is on the table. Poston said NASCAR's new office complex in Charlotte and International Speedway Corp's new headquarters in Daytona are both being constructed according to "It's a very small footprint we make. It's only 38 races,500 miles,43 cars." "There's a groundswell of awareness," Roush Fenway racing president Geoff Smith said. "We're all going to find out that it's going to be to our benefit, to the teams' benefit and to NASCAR's benefit, to assume a leadership position in an area that's going to help actually bring more money into the garage." NASCAR teaching fans about the Smith said he has talked to several sponsors about green-themed programs. One wants to set up a pavilion outside racetracks where fans can learn about efficient household products. BRIAN VICKERS NASCAR driver environment? Smith said it isn't as odd as it seems. "I think somebody did the math that all 43 cars all weekend don't put as much carbon into the air as much as one liberal's jet coming from L.A. to Washington," Smith said. "So we don't have a big negative footprint. But at the same time, I think there's a big opportunity to have a really positive footprint." NASCAR could make a big statement by switching from gasoline to a biofuel, something General Motors has been lobbying NASCAR to do for two years. "I'm passionate about the environment, and I work in racing," said Brent Dewar, GM's vice president of field sales, service and parts. "I usually get the question, 'Isn't that contradictory?' No. We're very passionate about green racing." The Indy Racing League's IndyCar series began racing on 100 percent ethanol last year. And Dewar said this year's Indianapolis 500 will be led by a prototype Corvette pace car that runs on E85 ethanol — and it will be driven by two-time Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi, who has a financial stake in the ethanol business in Brazil. In a speech in January, NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France said officials are considering biofuels. "While any steps we take with regards to fuels would have relatively little impact on the environment, it would be an important symbolic move," France said. "It's more important than ever to help make sure this country becomes energy independent and take the steps where we can to protect the environment. And you've got my commitment and everybody at NASCAR, we're going to do our part." DON'S AUTO: But Vickers isn't a fan of biofuels. Why turn food into fuel, he says, when something better is within reach? "Now that you have the ability to make a good, functional hydrogen fuel cell car, then why are we even wasting our time with what's in between," Vickers said. "I don't understand that." [Keeping Kansas students off the streets since 1972] Don's Auto Center 11th & Haskell 841-4833 And Vickers isn't particularly hung up on driving a race car that runs on something other than gasoline. Instead, he can imagine a day when NASCAR is a museum in motion. ASSOCIATED PRESS Sam Hornish Jr enters the team's transporter for a break during practice for the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., Saturday. Hornish's first child, a daughter, was born the week he reported to Daytona, and his commitment to racing caused him to miss 10 of the first 14 days of her life. He raced home following Sunday's season-opener so he could take over the midnight feedings wife Crystal had been handling alone. Nascar driver heads home FAMILY SPORTS Mobil PENSK RACI Sam Hornish returns to Ohio to help wife raise newborn BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There was no time for Sam Hornish Jr. to celebrate his 15th-place showing in Daytona 500. The open-wheel star had to hustle back to Ohio to pitch in on diaper duty. Hornish's first child, a daughter, was born the week he reported to Daytona, and his commitment to racing caused him to miss 10 of the first 14 days of her life. He raced home following Sunday's season-opener so he could take over the midnight feedings wife Crystal had been handling alone. "I've been gone for about five days out of each week over the past two weeks that she's been around," he said. "My wife's been pretty much home alone taking care of things herself and I had to give her a little bit of a break. It been great as a first-time father and is something that I've been been in it — lived through it," Hornish said. "That's how exciting it was for me." Hornish had the best Daytona debut of all the new open-wheelers, running in or around the top 10 for almost the entire race. A mistake on a late pit stop, when he slid the nose of his Dodge outside the box and had to back up, cost him several positions and he had to hustle in the closing laps to salvage his finish. "It probably kept us from having a top-10 finish," he guessed. "I think that was about the only hiccup that we had really all day long. To be a rookie at the Daytona 500, and to do what we set out to do — which was to get a top-20 finish — we were able to accomplish that and I was just SAM HORNISH JR. NASCAR driver "My wife's been pretty much home alone taking care of things herself and I had to give her a little bit of a break." Spending time with baby Addison didn't prevent Hornish from reliving his first Daytona 500. He found time while baby-sitting to watch a replay of the entire race, which ended with a 1-2 finish from Penske Racing teammates Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch. "I'm really happy about that and hope everything continues to go as well with that as it has with the racing." looking forward to for a very long time. "My hands were sweating with 20 laps remaining and I had already It completed a banner day for Penske Racing, which gave team owner Roger Penske his first Daytona 500 win. Pensha has 14 Indianapolis 500 victories, but was empty in 23 pre- really happy with how everything worked." "I would say that I was really surprised (with the Daytona finish), but I was confident when we made the decision to bring him in," Penks said. "He drove a masterful race. He was working with the teammates. I think he's going to be a real great team player." As thrilled as the owner was for Newman's win and the impressive display of teamwork it took to accomplish it, Penske was just as pleased with Hornish's performance. Hornish, a three-time IndyCar Series champion and the last of Penske's Indy 500 winners, relied on Penske's advice before making this move to NASCAR. "To finish 15th in his first race, stay out of trouble, I was amazed. I know the team was excited." Struggles in his handful of starts last season — and his failure to qualify for his first six starts — had led many to believe the switch to stock cars was going to be a difficult transition for the most successful vious years at Daytona. American driver in IndyCar history. In comparison, reigning IndyCar and Indianapolis 500 champion Dario Franchitti fell off the pace early, went a lap down and finished 33rd. The other two open-wheelers in this rookie class, Jacques Villeneuve and Patrick Carpentier, failed to make the race and Villeneuve, a former Formula One world champion, may already be done with NASCAR. He's been replaced in his Bill Davis Racing ride this week and his future remains unclear. As a former series champion, Busch has six provisionals he can rely on should he fail to qualify for a race on speed — and he actually had to use one to get into the Daytona 500 when a mechanical problem knocked him out of his qualifying race. Now Hornish heads to California, where he has the luxury of knowing he's locked into the field. Penske took the points that Busch earned last year and moved them to Hornish's No. 77 ride to guarantee Hornish a spot in the first five races of this season. Hornish is grateful for the gesture, and eager to do everything he can to help his teammates. "Roger and Kurt and Ryan — all those guys have been great to me. I just try and do what I can to make this overall team better. We actually got a little bit of interaction in Victory Lane with everybody.

BY BRYAN WHEELER bwheeler@kansan.com Brad Hopfinger may not have been recruited by any college coaches during high school, but the freshman walk-on has been playing as good as anyone for Kansas' men's golf team. Competing in the Hawaii-Hilo Invitational tournament to start the spring season, Hopfinger carded his fourth top-30 finish of the school year. On the first day of the tournament, Hopfinger had a career-best round of 66. Hopfinger had a three-round score of 210 and finished the tournament tied for 26th place. Hopfinger, from Lake Forest, Ill., a North Shore suburb of Chicago, was a stand-out golfer in high school. Playing for Lake Forest High School, Hopfinger was an Illinois All-State golfer and individual conference championship winner in 2006. In 2007, Hopfinger finished fifth in the 2007 Illinois State Golf Tournament. Though Hopfinger was a stand-out golfer in high school, he did not get any scholarship offers. "In high school I was a couple of shots away from being noticed by college coaches," said Hopfinger. Though no schools actively recruited Hofinger, Jeff Mory, his swing coach and former coach at Northwestern, contacted former Kansas coach and current director of golf operations Ross Randall. With an open spot on the roster Hopfinger was off to Kansas. "As a walk-on, he exceeds all expectations of what you want out of a player. You wish you could have 10 more like him." Hopfinger finished the fall season strong at the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C., tied for 12th place with 220 strokes. Hopfinger started his collegiate career in the fall of 2007 at the Kansas Invitational. With a three-round score of 225 and a tie for $22^{nd}$ place, Hopfinger was off to a solid start for the Jayhawks. Nearly a month later, Hopfinger carded a then-career best three-round score of 219 and tied for $23^{rd}$ place in the Prestige at PGA West in Palm Springs, Calif. KIT GROVE Men's golf coach Men's golf coach Kit Grove said motivation was the reason behind Hopfinger's success. "When you're a walk-on you want to prove you belong." Grove said. Hopfinger has also been a success in the classroom as well. With plans of majoring in business, the freshman was named to the Athletics Director's Honor Roll with a 4.0 GPA during the fall 2007 semester. "As a walk-on, he exceeds all expectations of what you want out of a player," Grove said. "You wish you could have 10 more like him." With his success as a freshman on the green, Hopfinger would like to become a more consistent golfer in tournaments. "One round has always hurt me," Hopfinger said. "I would like to just have three competitive rounds." With the spring season just underway for the Jayhawks, Hopfinger would like to build on Hopfinger and the Jayhawks will be trying to defend their 2007 team title on Feb. 25 and 26 in the All-American Golf Classic in Houston. "I would just like to be in a position where I'm in contention to win a tournament," said Hopfinger. his success.

The Ladies European Tour will continue to take the top five players from its points list, the top four from the women's world ranking and three captain's picks. But it will award points to the top 20 players in the majors, up from the top 10. It also will award more points for events with the highest purses, and fewer points for regular LET events that don't often get the best players.

The band's self-titled debut album, released in 2006, is available on iTunes or through its Web site, www.myspace.com/thevolunteersmusic. What new things are you working on? We're working on a new record, and we're playing a few shows in March in New York City for some major record labels. We're planning a tour this summer to the East Coast and West Coast, hopefully. How did Volunteers form? I submitted music to KJHK's Farmers Ball in 2005. I had made a bunch of solo electronic pop music. I got accepted and I didn't want to play the show by myself with a laptop. I thought that was pretty outrageous. So I formed a band with my friends. Has music always come naturally to you? Yes. I have a lot of music in my family.

Why do the women love salsa so much? Is this some elaborate plan for Latin American to steal the hearts of every woman in Lawrence through their seductive moves and hypnotic rhythms? What is the salsa? I decided to investigate. Fortunately, the KU Ballroom Dance Club hosts a salsa class every Friday night. I called my girlfriend and told me.

A Jayplay writer and both of his left feet investigate the Latin dance craze I approached the Hashinger Hall dance studio and heard the exotic sounds of trumpets, congo drums and cow bells booming from within. My pelvis started swaying instantly. Or maybe it was quivering. Either way, I was under the spell. I entered the tiny room and was struck by a wave of energy. Dozens of people filled this tiny box of glossed wood and mirrors. There were students, old folks and really old folks. Everyone was moving back and forth in fluid, sexy motions—even the senior citizens. We started out learning the salsa step. I was instructed to keep my left arm extended while holding my partner's right hand. My right hand was to remain directly under my partner's left armpit and directly behind her left boob. This photo by Tayle Then I moved my left foot forward, then back next to my right foot. Then I moved my right foot backward, then back next to my left foot. I'd mastered the salsa step. I could go home now. By Travis Brown tbrown@kansan.com Then the instructor showed us how to do the mambo step. Then the rumba step. Whoa. I did not sign up for this. I agreed to the salsa and that was it. What was up with all these other moves? Salsa was more complicated than I had expected. I began to sweat. I gritted my teeth. I grumbled. I became a very unpleasant dance partner. didn't seem so bad. Things got a little more enticing once we started with the twirls. It was amazing. All I had to do was spin my partner and we looked pretty damn good. I tried incorporating a spin into every move. My girlfriend got dizzy. I had to stop. It was back to looking like an oaf for me. I enjoyed the second half much more. We started out by forming two circles. The music began.We each did a few steps, then, in some magical move that I never got quite right, we switched partners. I got to dance with almost everyone there. But the switcheroo circle soon turned into my favorite part. I met more people in that one hour than I usually do in an entire semester. I was a little apprehensive about every other guy putting their sweaty hands directly under my girlfriend's left armpit and directly behind her left boob. Salsa lessons are also a great way for couples to break away from normal dating activities. Shane Kanter, Overland Park sophroman, and Emma Casey, Overland Park freshman, decided they were going to get in better shape together this year by "dancing." Everyone was moving back and forth in fluid, sexy motions—even the senior citizens. Kaitlin Dozier, Fredonia freshman, goes to the weekly salsa lessons with her girlfriends."I like to get all my classy dancing done on Friday and leave all my frisky dancing for Saturday," Dozier says. As Nico Jaumard, Moissac, France, graduate student, and Emily Moisan, Saint Charles, Mo., graduate student, have proven, these lessons are a great place to find love. The two meet through the KU Ballroom Dance Club about two years ago. Now they teach a salsa class together and plan to marry this August. Then there are the people who just go to dance. "With salsa, everyone changes partners naturally," says Jorge Ortiz, former KU Ballroom Dance Club president and salsa instructor. "It is embedded in the dance." As I finished the lesson, I couldn't understand how anyone could do this every week. I was sweaty. I was tired. I'd touched dozens of clammy palms. All I wanted was a shower and a cold beer. "You started looking a lot better there at the end," my girlfriend says. "Yeah?" "Thanks for taking me. I had fun." "I thank you," taking me, I had fun."

But do people use it because they need it, or do they need it because they use it? Is there really a lip balm conspiracy that's rendering us all completely addicted? Lee Bittenbender, a dermatologist at the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, 930 Iowa St., says that lip balm is not, in fact, addictive. He says that using lip balm is beneficial for your lips especially if it has sweeen oil. for your lips, especially if it has sunscreen in it to protect those smackers from the sun. During these harsh winter months, it's important to keep your lip moisturized, Bittenbender says. At times, people feel uncomfortable if they're not wearing lip balm, but this is not a sign of addiction—their lips are just telling them it's time to moisturize. Bittenbender says that if you use a certain kind of lip balm and your lips still feel chapped, you should consider switching brands. He says some people might experience chronic discomfort because they are allergic to the flavor, dye or sunscreen in the product they're using.

Many run and lift weights to get that perfect physique, but sometimes all that work needs to be supplemented. Some students turn to protein supplements to increase the effectiveness of their normal workouts. Brent Hale, a doctor and amateur bodybuilder, says that for people who work out regularly, it's difficult to eat the amount of protein necessary to continue building muscle. Even a diet of protein-rich lean meats and chicken would require lots of chowing down to consume enough protein. Hale says the general theory is that you should consume one to two grams of protein per day per pound of body weight. A chicken breast contains about 20 grams of protein, and an egg contains about six grams. Taking in about 200 grams of protein a day for an average male would thus require a lot of eating. For this reason, a variety of different protein supplements are on the market to offer a quicker solution. Available in an array of flavors.protein supplements provide an additional 20 grams of protein per drink. Even people who just want to lose weight can benefit from the added muscle protein helps to build. Muscle keeps burning fat even when the body is in a relaxed state. Hale says he doesn't buy into the hype surrounding some supplements, and advises staying away from products like Creatine that have not been approved by the FDA. One downside to taking supplements to increase protein in the body is the monotony of drinking grainy shakes or bland drinks after every workout. Hale says it's a decision you just have to commit to. Brunin tries to keep a variety in his protein drinks by making smoothies and adding fruit. "I know a lot of people who take supplements and don't work out. They're not going to make any progress," Foiles says. The type of protein you purchase might vary based on the results you're looking for. The body needs eight key amino acids to continue to build muscle. The best place to obtain these building blocks is through protein. Even people who just want to lose weight can benefit from the added muscle protein helps to build. Jake Foiles, Leavenworth senior; started taking a powder protein supplement his freshman year of college to help him build lean muscle. Now a senior, Foiles says he has gained about 10 to 15 pounds a year working out and trying to eat well. Foiles says the supplements help his body maximize the effort he puts in at the gym, but they are no replacement for hard work. Greg Brunin, St. Marys senior, works out four to five times a week and drinks a protein smoothie after his workouts. He started taking protein supplements in high school, and he has tried other supplements like Creatine, but says he generally stays away from unnatural products. Brunin says he knows guys who swear by other products, but he stopped taking Creatine supplements because he didn't see substantial results. Foiles is no longer looking to gain weight, but still takes protein supplements to maintain the work he has done throughout the past three years. Muscle keeps burning fat even when the body is in a relaxed state. Hale says people who do not eat enough to continue to build muscle can actually be hampering their efforts at the gym. When they work out, their bodies may begin to break down the muscle if it doesn't have enough carbohydrates and protein to fuel the workout. This can result in less fat burning and produce a less-toned body. Putting the right nutrients in your body is vital to seeing results. Hale says using 100 percent Whey protein provides all the amino acids the body needs while some other protein supplements may SCHWANE weight, using a exes will help mass. Those trying and stick to low-carb e should make sure they they are taking before starting on supplements, Hale says. Brunin says he read up on different products to be sure he knew what he was taking and avoids things he doesn't know enough about. Taking a supplement and not working out enough can lead to the body storing the nutrients as fat. Even supplements contain calories the body needs to burn. Understanding what your body can handle and what it needs is an important step in determining what extra help you should choose. Those spring break bodies won't come without hard work, but understanding the body's processes can aid in working on your LGN (looking good naked). ... photo illustration by: Brenna Hawley and Lisa Lipovac --- Sunday Brunch Every Sunday 10:30am – 2pm We offer 15 items including: Omelette Bar Pasta Feature Carving Station Prime Rib Made to Order Waffles Different Quiche Eggs Benedict each week Fresh Fish Assorted Desserts ALL YOU CAN EAT $3 off with current KUID (Cardholder only, Originally $14.95) Complimentary Mimosa with Brunch [the jayhawker] 701 Massachusetts • 749-5011 • eldridgehotel.com I'll just use a simple representation of the waffle.

P TEN preserves land C --- manual greening it your guide to greener living ByLauren Keith "Too chicken to go vegetarian?" A recent batch of ads sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asks this question. Though PETA's primary concern is for the animals, eating meat is actually deadly for the planet, too. One of the leading contributors to climate change is the amount of methane gas released by current methods of agricultural production. Methane is the chief component of natural gas, but the place that it's coming from these days seems anything but natural. One cow farts and burps out more than 63 gallons of methane daily. Multiply that by the 1.3 billion cattle in the world, and the planet is going to need a bit more than a dose of Gas-X to cure this problem. It can be a lonely world come mealtime for us vegetarians in the Midwest (motto: Beef, it's what's for every meal of the day). Even food that appears to be vegetarian is sometimes cooked in animal fat or contains traces of meat. Not surprisingly, several so-called environmentalists have had trouble addressing this problem. Not once in his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, did Al Gore mention methane, probably because it's the most inconvenient truth of all. Your flesh-eating tendencies are killing the planet (among other things). Fortunately, dining services on campus have been receptive to the needs of vegetarians and others looking for the occasional meat-free meal. The beef industry gets a prime cut of the blame, but the other industries are guilty as well. The production of two pounds of beef releases more greenhouse gases than taking a three-hour drive in your Hummer while leaving the lights on back home, according to New Science magazine. "We are always looking for vegetarian recipes," says Nona Golledge, director of KU Dining Services. "Even though someone may not classify themselves as a vegetarian, they still want healthier options." Golledge estimates that about 26 percent of Dining Services' 5,000 recipes are vegetarian. For students who don't want to make the full transition, residence hall dining facilities serve soy Boca burgers and black bean burgers. KU Dining Services recently introduced organic foods into select venues, and meat from Local Burger—a restaurant that serves only locally raised meat—is offered In The Market in the Kansas Union. As consumers, we should buy organic and local products whenever possible because doing so cuts down on pollution while also supporting our local economy. On-campus dining selections have a huge influence on what students eat. Golledge says that on an average day, the 20 on-campus dining operations serve about 10,000 people. Becoming a full-fledged vegetarian is a bold and difficult move. I don't know how many more films like Fast Food Nation and Super Size Me or visits to TheMeatrix.com it will take for people to make the move to eating less meat, but we can't keep farting around with such a serious environmental problem. etarian It took me 20 years, but making the transition to vegetarian, vegan or simply to eating less meat doesn't have to take you until the cows come home. 1. Read. with anything new, read as much about it as you can. Check out books from the library or Web sites like www.GoVeg.com. 2. Find new recipes, or revise the old. Thanks to the Internet, you no longer have to buy new cookbooks to start enjoying a new menu.There is a buffet of vegetarian recipes online.For your favorite recipes, try using meatless substitutes like Boca or Morningstar Farms brands. for 3. Don't go cold turkey. Start by eliminating red meat or other meats that you don't eat frequently.Red meat is generally considered the least healthy, but a gradual transition into vegetarianism usually works better than giving everything up at once. 4. Get enough protein. A common misconception about vegetarians is that they don't get enough protein,but meat eaters actually consume more protein than they need. Besides meat,protein is found in nuts,seeds beans and soy.Try supplements if you are worried about not getting enough nutrients. 5. Enjoy. Being a vegetarian is not supposed to be torture, although it may be difficult to give up your favorite meat-filled foods initially. If you feel like you're depriving yourself, you'll stick with vegetarianism about as long as it takes you to say the word. Instead, know that you're doing something good for yourself and the planet while trying new, great-tasting foods in the process.

It does work, in the sense that it gives your room the appearance of tidiness. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Well, eventually one must open his or her closet and address the heaps of clothes, shoes, old textbooks and assorted knickknacks that accumulate over time. When the time comes to actually sort and organize things, wine boxes are a sturdy and thrifty way to get the job done. You can use wine boxes for drawers in places that normally don't have drawers—just turn them on their sides and stack them for shelving. They are also a handy way to store old notebooks and textbooks. If you have more stuff than closet space, many wine boxes come with artsy decorations, so you can choose ones that fit your aesthetic. An employee of Jensen's Liquor, 620 W. Ninth St., who asked to go by the name Tango, says the store gets shipments every day and the best time to pick up boxes is in the afternoon. Produce containers can be picked up for free anytime from wholesalers like Sam's Club and Costco. You can also make shelving for your closer out of supermarket produce containers. Many produce pallets are designed to be shelf-ready, meaning they are made for transport and to display fruits and vegetables once they reach the supermarket. In other words, they are designed to be both sturdy and user-friendly. I guess you don't really have to clean your closet. You could just move, in which case you could use wine boxes transport your stuff to your new, yet-to-be disheveled abode. - Josh Patterson JAKES FAULT SHIRAZ SHIRAZ SHIRAZ Fun Apples Fun Apples Wine boxes and produce containers can be used to tidy up a messy space.

Students have a hard time getting into aromatherapy because essential oils can be expensive and students just don't know what to do with them, says Lowen Millspaugh, assistant wellness manager at The Merc, 901 Iowa St. Millspaugh recommends using high-quality organic oils, ones that are grown without any herbicides Certified Organic Lavender Oil Lavender essential oil recipes soothe skin and relax muscles or pesticides." You don't want to put that stuff on your body," Millspaugh says. With a little guidance, aromatherapy can be easy. And with these recipes, students can use essential oils to make their own relaxing spa treatments. For a soothing facial steam, fill a bowl with hot water and add a few drops of essential oil. Pick an oil according to your skin type: lavender for normal skin, rose for dry skin and clary-sage for acne-prone skin. Drape a towel over your head, covering the bowl to lock in the steam. Then wait while the steam opens your pores and lets the oil penetrate your skin."It's a nice treat," Millspaugh says."A nice little home spa treatment." Making your own bath salts is another way to use essential oils. In a quart-size Ziploc bag, combine 1/2 cup each of kosher salt and Epsom salt. Add a few drops of food coloring, close the bag and shake until the color is spread evenly. Then add five to 10 drops of your favorite essential oil and shake again. Lavender is especially relaxing, and the Epsom salt will relax your muscles and soften your skin. This recipe makes enough for two baths: simply pour half the bag into the bath and swirl with your hands until the salts dissolve. - Dianne Smith cook it CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY Blue Plate Dinners, 4931 W.

It was beautiful. Even the low-quality cell phone photo she sent me couldn't mask the swallow's bright colors and bold lines. She told me about her experience at the tattoo parlor and how the thing itched like hell. My heart was racing; not because I was excited for her (although I was), but because I feared the imminent encounter with our mother. I knew she'd be pissed. Dani Hurst, editor My sister told my mother right after she told me, and all I can say is that she's lucky there was a phone between them.There was yelling. There was a lot of yelling. My mother was angry because her daughter knew how negatively she viewed tattoos. My sister argued that it wasn't meant as a personal offense, but that she'd wanted one for a long time and had finally gotten it done. My mother still disapproves. My sister still feels justified. As for me, tattoos are exquisite works of art, but they're not for me. It's not that I've never wanted one, but I can't imagine me on my sister's side of the phone.

Remember how your heart jumped when he picked you up for your first date? Remember wondering if tonight was the night she was going to sleep over? Remember the butterflies? Those were the days when everything in your relationship was just starting. But now your relationship may have fallen into the same daily routine. Spending almost every night together, the two of you have become too comfortable with each other and predictability has replaced any spontaneity in your relationship. The "new and exciting" has become the "old and familiar." Lindsay Crupper, Overland Park graduate student, and her fiance, Timothy Haake, a senior at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, Mo., have been dating for more than three years. They finish each other's sentences, watch reruns of Scrubs and run the familiar errands together. They like to stay in, play board games, wear sweat pants and maybe forego taking showers. Their relationship has fallen into a routine. Tom Atchity, Overland Park senior, says he and his girlfriend are also familiar with relationship routines. They drive each other to school every day, spend every night together, watch rums of Lost, sleep in until 1 p.m. on weekends, eat brunch at Hayes Hamburger & Chili once a week and read the newspaper together every Sunday morning. Ruts are common in relationships that have lasted for long periods of time. Eventually you feel you know each other so well there isn't anything new you could possibly learn about each other. Tim Connor, motivational speaker and author of Relationship Ruts and How to Avoid Them, identifies four factors that contribute to a relationship rut: perception, expectation, romance and stress. How you perceive your partner leads to expectations, which can often result in disappointment. Expecting your boyfriend to suddenly quit being messy or your girlfriend to suddenly become low-maintenance is dangerous because it's important to be careful. other's flaws early on in your relationship. Couples under a lot of stress tend to repeat arguments and lose communication. All of these destructive factors can create a rut in a relationship. A study at Stony Brook University in New York looked at how couples can escape these kinds of boring ruts. Arthur Aron, social psychologist at Stony Brook who conducted the study, says its results show that couples that engage in "novel and arousing activities" experience a significant statistical increase in the quality of relationship. Aron's research studied 60 couples during a 10-week period and found that the couples that participated in exciting and pleasant activities—such as rock climbing or visiting an amusement park—experienced the increase versus couples that participated in more mundane activities (Can anyone say dinner and a movie?). financial class to prepare for their marriage. Haake wants to try out a cooking class in the near future."I don't really cook, so it will probably help out our marriage," Crupper jokes. Engaging in these activities alone will not magically fix a relationship that is experiencing an actual conflict, Aron says. Trying new things with each other will only help couples that are feeling bored. Connor emphasizes that both partners need to want to try these activities. Insisting your girlfriend go sailing with you when you know she gets seasick easily may not be the best idea, Aron says. When Crupper and Haake grow tired of playing chess, they go out and try to experience something new that they've both wanted to try. In the past they have taken line-dancing classes, and they're currently enrolled in a Atchity says escaping Lawrence and driving to Kansas City for a night helps break the predictability in his relationship. "We often like to go out and eat somewhere fancy that makes us feel middle-aged," Atchity says. Aron stresses that trying something --- new will not get you out of a relationship rut if you only try it once. Couples should try something new every month. Connor suggests focusing on the relationship as an entity by writing a list of behaviors you want to put back into the relationship on separate sheets of paper and placing them in a jar. Each month, pull out a piece of paper and focus on that behavior for the rest of the month. You can also use this method by compiling a list of new activities you and your partner want to try and pick one out each month. But are new and exciting activities the only thing that can keep a relationship afloat? Haake says incorporating new activities in his relationship is fun every once in a while, but excitement alone doesn't form a long-lasting relationship. "What everyone else might call mundane, Lindsay and I just have fun doing it," Haake says. "I admit I usually don't feel the butterflies anymore, but every now and then, Lindsay will walk into the room looking like a million bucks and those butterflies will come flying right back." 14 02.21.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 21 for more information: www.therelationshipgym.com photos by: Jessie Fetterling contact how we met --- OPPOSITES ATTRACT A.

My chick flick is definitely Sex and the City. It also looks like there is a great new Indiana Jones movie as well as fighting pandas—a good summer for all WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY? Gina Soude Megan Dietel St. Louis junior My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I enjoy spending time together with my family and close friends as well as enjoying one of the great American dinners of turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. It's far less hassle and hype than some of the other holidays. The only superhero I ever knew about growing up was Superman—"faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a powerful locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound." Since I've never run into kryptonite, I still think those powers would be the best. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY SUPERPOWER WHAT WOULD IT BE? In 2004, the Caucus was just about who was going to attend the convention. This year, Kansas Democrats had a real voice in choosing the party's nominee. We have a candidate in Barack Obama who is inspiring thousands of new voters to tune in and turn up, to work and to vote. It will make a huge difference in the election and in his opportunity to be a great president. I am really looking forward to The Dark Knight. After all the hype about Heath Ledger's character, I think it's going to be a very interesting movie to watch. WHY DO YOU THINK ATTENDANCE IN THIS YEAR'S DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS WAS SIGNIFICANT HIGHER THAN IN 2004? WHAS HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE IN YOUR LIFE AND WHY? My parents, Katie and Jack Gilligan. They gave me unconditional love and support, taught me about sacrifice and service, and gave me the confidence to believe that anything was possible, if I worked for it. Every child should be so lucky! I'm going to be very unoriginal and say Christmas. I just really love being able to spend time with my family. I would love to be able to teleport to anywhere in the world like in that new movie, Jumper. I've always wanted to travel all over the world, but being a poor college student, I don't exactly have the money to do that. I think the young people in our country are finally getting excited about politics. I think their involvement really increased this year's attendance. My grandma. She was raised on a small farm in Kansas and was always struggling. She's become very successful and I look up to her a lot.

Murray auditioned in Dallas for the show's seventh season with about 12,000 other Idol hopefuls, and Murray says the experience is much different than it appears on television. Before getting their shot at a stint on TV, contestants begin by auditioning in groups of six in one of 12 tents with two judges in each tent. Simon, Paula and Randy aren't anywhere to be found, and they actually don't come to town to film their segments until several months later. Murray says another surprise was the amount of waiting time. Murray and her dad arrived at the stadium where the auditions were held at 3 a.m. the day before, and waited hours just to get a wristband, which would guarantee an audition spot the following day. Getting in to audition then required another long wait. You might be the next Kelly Clarkson, but you'll have to suffer long lines for your art. Murray was cut in the very first round in Dallas, but to check out those whose suffering paid off, tune in to American Idol every Tuesday and Wednesday (and sometimes Thursday) at 7 p.m. on FOX. 1995 FIFA WORLD CUP FIFA WORLD CUP FIFA WORLD CUP Above: Aspiring *Ickers* gather in Dallas "Texas Stadium*.

And believe us, we've looked. In order to enjoy either of these, however, you must have at least a small place in your heart for these movies. Otherwise, you'll find little to no humor in them. And remember: They're supposed to be dumb. I "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" is one installment of a series of Harry Potter hand puppet shows. This particular one centers around—you guessed it—a mysterious ticking noise. It opens with Snape, who hears the noise and starts singing. "The Mysterious Ticking Noise." "Snape, Snape, Severus Snape" in time with the music. But what starts out as a simple ode to himself quickly turns into a noisy melee as each of the main Harry Potter characters adds his or her own name to the song until it's a round-robin including Ron, Dumbledore, Harry Hermione, and even Voldemort. I'd let you in on the source of the ticking, but I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise. The music for "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard" is based on a techno version of the theme music from the Lord of the Rings movies. It is comprised of movie and sound clips, which go surprisingly well with the chosen tempo of the music. Believe it or not, after watching this once or twice, you'll find yourself humming the tune and singing. "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard, gard, g-g-g-gard" to yourself (because if you sang it out loud, people would make fun of you). "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard." music guy A road map to music utopia play By Bem Garemisa Arctic Monkeys (For fans of The Strokes and Bloc Party) It's a bit ironic that a band comprised wholly of technologically dense lads would owe most of their success to the unstoppable march of technological progress. For the upbeat, fast-paced and lyrically clever post-punk pop-rock Arctic Monkeys, though, the success is more than merely ironic—it is wholly unexpected. While many in the music industry would consider the group's continued refusal to put record label scouts on their guest lists to be an act of self-sabotage, it has, in fact, allowed the tenacity and devotion of the group's fans to really propel the group to greatness. The Arctic Monkeys' fans have shown that, in an age when RIAA lawyers sue their own customers while lowering artists' compensation, true talent can still provide a pathway to stardom and succeed. arche monkeys After the group of four friends formed in 2002, they started playing some small local venues while handing out free demos to anyone who would take them. Now, so far this is a pretty normal way to achieve success (a lot of successful bands start out like this), but then the group veered sharply down the road less traveled... After garnering a fervent fan-base around Sheffield (UK), the labels and agents came knocking—but the band refused to guarantee them guest list space or VIP treatment at their shows, eschewing the normal route in favor of doing what they loved. Simultaneously, the fans began their work by uploading and sharing the music ARKEN MONILINE ANVILLE, KATY WESTMORE work by uploading and sharing the music on sites such as MySpace, where the Monkeys quickly became one of the most popular artists. When asked in a 2005 interview with Prefix magazine (a music magazine in New York) if they even knew how to upload their music to the web, the band replied with a succinct "no, no." Next, a fan who just so happened to be a photographer went to a few shows with video cameras and eventually had enough film to slap together a music video for what he thought was their best song at the time,"Fake Tales of San Francisco," and uploaded it to his Web site (keep in mind this was before advent of YouTube). After a few weeks, the video became so popular that it was placed in constant rotation on MTV UK.The song was finally released in studio recording form on the band's first album, which subsequently became the fastest-selling debut album of any British band ever—including the Beatles. Go back and read that again.The Arctic Monkeys' debut album sold more copies in its first week than did the Beatles' debut—and the Monkey's didn't even have a major label backing them—just a lot of devoted fans spreading the gospel. The album, *Whatever People Say I Am*, That's What I'm Not, was finally named TIME magazine's album of the year in 2006.

Jumber isn't a must-see movie, but it is worth checking out at some point. Hayden Christensen (Star Wars Episode III, Awake), Samuel L. Jackson (Coach Carter, S.W.A.T.) and Rachel Bilson (The O.C.) make up the cast of this sci-fi thriller based on the novel of the same name. Christensen stars as David Rice, a young man who learns he has the ability to teleport himself virtually anywhere he can think of. He spends years living a life of leisure, making himself rich and sleeping with women all over the world. But his fun comes to an end when an organization that seeks to kill "jumper;"—people with the ability to teleport—comes after him. FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE BOURNE IDENTITY AND MR. G MRS. SMITH ANYTHING ANYTHING INJUSTIFILY JUMPER WWW.JUMPERCLASS.COM If you're looking for another thriller for purely entertainment purposes, this is your film. But if you hate it when events happen in a movie with no real explanation, steer clear of Jumper. Christensen does a great job of allowing the audience to understand his character. Surprisingly, Samuel L. Jackson is the one who gives a lackluster performance as the leader of the organization that's after Christensen. You're never really sure of his character's motives or his background. The plot is definitely there, but it's just not used to its full potential. If Jumper 2 gets the green light, which it supposedly has, the director should expand more on background information on some of the events and people in the film. The organization after Christensen isn't explained well until the end of the film, and still by then there are several other little things that just don't add up. It was nice to see Christensen and Jackson reunited since the memorable Star Wars Episode III. It's also interesting to think how rapper Eminem would have done in this one, as he was originally cast in Christensen's role. Jumper is entertaining overall, but you may want to wait for it to hit the rental stores. ★★★☆☆ Matt Lindberg the savages The fact that I couldn't personally relate to The Savages, and yet found it delightful, is a telltale sign of a great movie, as good movies are wholesomely enjoyed by the people they were made for, but great movies transcend demographics. The movie's opening montage shows old ladies working on a synchronized swimming routine and a golf-carted grandfather blissfully taking in the monotony of Sun City, Ariz., aka Retirement Paradise, USA. Enter Wendy and Jon Savage (Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman), two siblings reuniting to take their father (Philip Bosco) back East where they both live because, as Linny eloquently puts it, "He's been writing on the walls with his shit." Diagnosed with dementia, their dad is disoriented to the point of believing that the nursing home his kids have put him in is a hotel. But for all of his confused outbursts, it's his children who end up needing the therapy only family can provide. While caring for their father in his final days, Hoffman and Linney work through feelings of guilt about the quality of care they're giving their father and BODY BODY BODY THE FILM IS A SCIENTIFIC JOURNEY, AND IT REFLECTS THE CONSCIENCES OF THE NATURAL WORLD.

Don't worry: it's not the maudlin melodrama that my summary may have made it out to be. Yes, The Savages does have heart and emotion, but it's also frickin' hilarious. More about exploring the problems of brother and sister than those of Papa Savage—who is relatively content in his ignorance—writer/director Tamara Jenkins has a knack for putting Hoffman and Linney in awkward environments and then stepping back and letting them react, usually without any words at all. And then there are the sibling fights, which are so well done that you'll want to step on-screen and yell, "Hey, break it up!" The brisk pace and subtle humor—with the occasional outburst—reminded me of Sideways.

Ms. Rivers had a beautiful shiny black grand piano that I was sure she polished at least once a day. She was a master pianist and composer, and if I was lucky I would catch her playing a piece she had written when I walked into her house each week for my lesson. This particular lesson shouldn't have been different from any other, except that during the past week I had nearly quadruped my practice time. I was working on a nocturne by Chopin, and for nearly two hours every night, I would sit at my piano going over and over each scale, chord and trill. At the end of the week, I felt as though I had almost mastered the song, but there was one trill that was particularly pesky. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see. I now hard I tried, I couldn't get my fingers to move fast enough between the notes. But I wanted it to be perfect, so I did the only thing I could think of: I kept practicing. After my warm-up exercises, Ms. Rivers took a seat in her green and gold old-fashioned armchair and waited for me to begin. I wanted to play the piece flawlessly, and I hoped all my practicing was going to pay off. After all, practice makes perfect, right? I wiped my hands on my jeans, took a deep breath and let my fingers take over. The sheet music was out, but I didn't need it. I had practiced the song so many times that I had it memorized. I began playing softly and slowly. When I came to a crescendo, the music became loud and energetic. The chords chimed and the scales sung. I played flawlessly. By Deepa Sampat After I had finished, Ms. Rivers rose and approached the piano bench. "Very good," she said enthusiastically, moving a hand on my shoulder. "I can tell you." been practicing." My vision blurred with tears. In my mind I knew she was giving me a compliment, but in my heart I knew I had messed up the trill. It wasn't fast enough nor smooth enough. I played the rest of the piece without missing a note, but all I could think of was my failure. I couldn't hide my tears. But before Ms.Rivers had a chance to ask what was wrong, I spilled everything. I told her about The words knocked the wind out of me. You can't always be perfect. the hours I had spent at my piano. how I would run the trill so many times my fingers became raw. By now the tears were streaming down my cheeks. She looked at me thoughtfully for a moment. "You can't always be perfect," she said."There are some things, no matter how hard you try, you just won't be able to do. It's the effort you put into it that really matters." The words knocked the wind out of me. You can't always be perfect. All my life, I had tried to be perfect—so much so that I would routinely wear myself out. When my friends would hang out together, I would stay at home working on a school project there. I have been working on a school project that I had already finished, but that I thought could look better. If I thought my notes from class were too messy, I would rewrite them so the handwriting looked perfect. I would stay after school in the journalism room after everyone had left except the night custodians, working on our school newspaper until each page looked just right or until my adviser would finally kick me out. remember. Even in preschool, while the good kids colored outside the lines and the bad kids scribbled on the walls, I would sit by myself, hunched over my paper, taking time to ensure that not a spot of color crossed the black outline of the picture. When I didn't reach the level of perfection I sought, I felt inadequate. I was never good enough for myself. In that moment at the piano, Ms. Rivers helped me gain some perspective. Nobody can be perfect all the time. So what if I couldn't hit the trill? I had tried my hardest and given it my all. Sometimes that's all you can do. Even if failure is the result, it's the effort that matters. After I gained my composure, I played the piece once again. And, once again, I messed up the trill. But this time, it didn't matter. I didn't have to be perfect, and it was okay. Now, every time I sense myself slipping into my old perfectionist tendencies, I try to remember my piano lesson that day. It's all right if I'm not perfect at everything. In fact, I realize now that that's impossible. Instead, I focus on putting the greatest effort into whatever I do, and that's how I judge my successes. And so far; I can say I've been pretty successful. interesting fact: Beaker does a mean little Richard impression and also knows how to beatbox, which he showcased on the Muppets Tonight TV show. —muppet.wikia.com Contact the writer: dsampat@kansan.com Graphics by: Brenna Hawley 02.21.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 21 WEEKLY SPECIALS JayP CARLOS O'KELLY'S 1/2 Price Margas $1.50 Draws (Including Blvd. Wheat) $4.99 Jumbo Margaritas $5 • 24 oz.

Both the Lawrence and Edwards campuses canceled classes after 1 p.m., and buses continued to take students off the Lawrence campus until 2 p.m. BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE ccommerville@kansan.com Classes were canceled Thursday after 1 p.m. because of a snow storm. p. m. after receiving reports that buses were having trouble getting up the hills. Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said that Provost Richard Lariviere canceled classes at about 12:30 "If the buses are slipping and sliding, we don't want to jeopardize the safety of students," Cohen said. Margretea de Vries, an administrative assistant with KU on Wheels, said buses were only running outbound as of 1 p.m., meaning they were only taking students away from campus and not toward it. The last bus departed at 2 p.m. The University sent an e-mail and text message to students. Students did not receive these the last time classes were canceled, which was Feb. 6. The last time that only afternoon classes were canceled was February 5, 2004.

In his 2007 Hummer at the rate of $57 an hour. Cadue's vehicle can hold five people and he plans to advertise through business cards and by word of mouth on his bus. ALEXANDER ROBINSON BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com University of Kansas bus driver Ken Cadue will begin giving students the opportunity to "ride in style" to Kansas City, Mo. Cadue, who has worked for the University since October, said he would charge students $75 an hour to ride in his 2007 Hummer. If students pay for four or more hours, Cadue said he would give them an additional hour for free. "It's a nice looking Hummer. It's got a lot of chrome on it," Cadue said. "It's riding in style." Cadue said he decided to start his business because he was worried about students' safety. He said Safe Ride does not travel outside of Lawrence and there are no other programs in Lawrence that chauffer students around Kansas City. He said he knew there was a need for such a program because he had heard multiple students talking about their drunk driving experiences while they were on the bus. Jon Goering/KANSAN "I'm a safe driver and one big reason I like to drive the bus here is that when kids get on, I try to smile, and it may be the best greeting they get all day," Cadue said. "I try to be friendly and I feel like I'm doing some good." Cadue said he would begin the business on a trial basis. He said he planned to run his designated driver service on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, but if it was profitable enough, he would make the service available seven days a week. He also said he would consider buying a Hummer limo as well. Cadue said he could transport a maximum of five students in his hummer. At $75 an hour for four hours, Cadue's service would cost each of the five students $60. But Cadue said he was willing to change his prices to make his business more competitive. He said he thought most students would use the service for about four hours because students usually leave to go to the city at about 10 p.m. and the majority of the bars in Kansas City's Westport district close at 1 a.m. Only one other company in Lawrence offers services similar to Cadue's. Jennifer Chareton, dispatcher for GTI transportation, said her company charged passengers $160 to pick passengers up and drop them off, but that they did not chauffer them around the city. Chareton said GTT's service was a first-come, first-serve basis with no cancellation fee. She said because the business owned three Lincoln Town Cars that can hold four people, three passenger, vans and three minivans, students could usually call the day before their trip and reserve a car without any problems. Cadue said he was unsure how he would occupy his time while his passengers were at the bar, but that he would probably go somewhere and drink coffee or go window-shopping.

DEMOCRATIC DEBATE Clinton,Obama disagree on Cuba.health care AUSTIN, Texas — Hillary Clinton accused Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama of political plagiarism Thursday night and said he represented "change you can Xerox." Obama dismissed the charge out of hand, adding in a campaign debate, "What we shouldn't be doing is tearing each other down, we should be lifting the country up." The exchange marked an unusually pointed moment in an otherwise civil encounter in the days before March 4 primaries in Texas and Ohio — contests that even some of Clinton's supporters said he must win to sustain her campaign. In a university auditorium in Texas, the two agreed that hightech surveillance measures were preferable to construction of a fence to stop illegal immigration. They disagreed on the proper response to a change in government in Cuba in the wake of Fidel Castro's resignation. Clinton said she refused to sit down with incoming President Raul Castro until he implemented political and economic reforms. Obama said he would meet "without preconditions," but added the U.S. agenda for such a session would include human rights in the island nation. They also sparred about health care. Clinton said that Obama's plan would leave 15 million Americans uncovered. But he accused the former first lady of mishandling the issue by working in secrecy when her husband was in the White House. Clinton sidestepped a question about so-called superdelegates. She said the issue would sort itself out. But Obama, who has won more primaries and caucuses said the contests must "count for something ... that the will of the voters ... is what ultimately will determine who our next nominee is going to be." Associated Press Do You Know KU? BY SAMANTHA FOSTER sfoster@kansan.com Picture this—it is 1893, and you are standing amid a collection of over one hundred stuffed North American large mammals arranged in realistic positions in front of natural backgrounds. Two bull moose are fighting, their antlers locked together. A grizzly bear stands towering above the crowd. Mountain sheep and goats caper on a papier-mache cliff. It is an innovative exhibit, quite unique for the time. In fact, it is the most popular exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago—and the young man displaying it is University of Kansas' Lewis Lindsay Dyche. As a boy growing up along the Wakarusa River, Dyche spent much of his time hunting and trapping. He could not yet read at the age of 12 and was still far behind other students at his school at the age of 16. However, his desire to get an education was strong. He entered the University of Kansas as a student in 1877, and camped out in a covered wagon for the fall semester with a friend. Dyche had a natural aptitude for science. By 1888 he had completed four degrees and was given positions as professor of anatomy and physiology, taxidermist and curator of mammals, birds and fishes. He became a master taxidermist under the direction of W. T. Hornaday at the Smithsonian, and he took 23 expeditions to all parts of North America over 38 years in order to collect the specimens for his panorama. The success of his exhibit at the exposition gained him national recognition, and although he received several offers from potential buyers, both for his panorama and people attempting to lure him away from the University of Kansas, he preferred to keep himself and his work in Kansas. Dyche was, according to the Guide to The Museum of Natural History published in 1984, "intensely loyal to KU." "see him as being quite a character" Jen Humphrey, communications officer for the Natural History Museum, said. The museum guide refers to him as a "colorful personality". In addition to his taxidermy work, he accompanied Frederick Cook on an Arctic expedition which failed, joined a relief expedition to rescue Robert Peary after an unsuccessful attempt to reach the North Pole (he spent some time on the trip back collecting specimens for the museum, including six walruses which he killed himself), and was appointed the position of state fish and game warden in 1909 by Governor Stubbs. He died suddenly in 1915, and the building which housed the museum collections which he was so instrumental in expanding was named Dyche Hall in his honor. Several of Dyche's original pieces of work are currently on display in the Natural History Museum. His World's Columbian Exposition Panorama has been enlarged slightly, backgrounds were repainted, and the animals were regrouped. Birds, reptiles, insects and amphibians have also been added to the panorama since 1975. The Natural History Museum of today is, thanks to the start given by Dyche, a flourishing institution. Its newest exhibit, called Explore Evolution, was opened in November of 2005. This exhibit includes models of DNA, an HIV virus, a diatom, interactive learning devices and plaques relating common misconceptions about evolutionary theory. "Ninety percent of the Biodiversity Institute's funds are allocated to research," said Humphrey. "They [researchers] are helping us understand the biology of the planet and how it is changing, and that's essential." The museum is part of the Biodiversity Institute, a very important research unit. The institute is the top in the nation in graduate education in biodiversity research. The museum offers a major public science event every year during spring break. Humphrey estimates that about six months of planning goes into each one, and last year's event attracted about 4,000 visitors. This year's event is "The Science of Sound."

Mel Cadue, Ken's wife, said she would accompany Ken on his trips if he wanted her to because she could not imagine what he would do all evening if she did not. She said their three daughters, ages 16, 18 and 19, thought the business was a good idea, but that she was unsure what to think about it. "I just said, 'really, that's interesting,' Mel said. "He seems like a chauffeur-like person because he gets along with people really well. I told him if he was going to be a chauffeur or something, he needs to get a suit." Cadue said he would advertise through business cards and through word of mouth on his bus. Cadue said that so far, students' responses to his business had been favorable. Cadue said every student he had talked to had complained that taxicabs and Safe ride took at least an hour to pick them up. Cadue said they found that frustrating, and they said they would be interested in using his service for transportation inside of Lawrence as well as elsewhere. John Kuhn, Jamestown senior, said he thought establishing reliable transportation between Lawrence and Kansas City at night was important but he was not sure if a Hummer was the way to do it. "The Hummer is ridiculous because it's not fuel efficient," Kuhn said. "It's a horrible status symbol and manifestation of materialist culture." Jason Oruch, Plano, Texas, junior and former risk manager of Alpha Epsilon Pi's Brothers Against Drunk Driving, said he thought Cadue's business was a good idea because he did not think it was safe for students to be driving drunk for an hour. He also said the business was well priced when the costs were divided up. "I think it's funny, but it's very unique," Orch said. "Most college students do not have Hummers." Edited by Jared Duncan Computer crash leads to top scores CAMPUS BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com Jacci Chanon was studying in her bedroom Monday night when three of her sorority sisters burst through the door. "They were saying that everyone got a 100 percent on our biology test," Chanon, Austin, Tex., sophomore, said. G. Newman Lowrance/Kansas City Wizard Chanon was one of the 923 students in Biology 100 to score a 100 percent on Monday's exam because the clicker system in Budig Hall crashed. A visit to the BlackBoard page for her Principles of Biology class confirmed it - perfect scores for everyone. Nancy Holcroft, lecturer of Biology, said she used the clicker system for the class exam to cut down on paper waste associated with ScanTron tests. Holcroft made the decision to score everyone equally on the test after it became apparent that all of the test scores were erased. The clickers, designed by elinstruction, crashed after the last student finished taking the test. Instructional Development and Support, said it was still unclear what caused the system to crash. She said the clickers in Budig Hall never malfunctioned during a test before. "Knowing that 900 exam scores have just disappeared into the ether is not a particularly nice sensation," Holcroft said. "Any time class equipment behaves erratically it is a huge concern for us," Zvacek said. She said Instructional Development and Support would work with elnstruction to get a sense of why the system crashed and how to prevent it from happening again. Jessica Nadine, North Hampton, Mass., junior, was among the students who notched a perfect test score. She said the clicker malfunction was a stroke of good luck. "I had a paper due that day so, honestly, I only studied for about an hour right before the test," Nadine said. "It's a bummer for those who studied really hard, though." Holcroft said the clickers would still be used in class for extra credit points, but all future exams would be taken with ScanTron sheets. Susan Zvacek, director of "In the end, it's really a shame," she said. "I'm not a Luddite, and this really is promising technology. However, in this case, the technology failed and I'm not willing to put students' grades on the line like that again any time soon." The Kansas City Wizards soccer team held a meet and greet in 2007 at the Voodoo Lounge in Kansas City, Mo., giving fans the opportunity to come out and get together with their favorite players. Fans will get that chance once again tonight when the Wizards come to Ake and Jake's Landing. —Edited by Samuel Lamb Wizards meet, greet in Lawrence 》 MLS JACKY MCKINNEY BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com Tonight at Abe and Jake's Landing, University of Kansas students will get the opportunity to mingle with Kansas City professional athletes. They won't be Chiefs or Royals, but those familiar with football of the international variety will be able to socialize with Major League Soccer's Kansas City Wizards. Players and staff will be at Abe and Jake's to interact with fans and introduce themselves to Lawrence, said Rob Thomson, 2001 University graduate and Wizards vice president of marketing and communications. Wizards' players Ryan McMahen, Tyson Wahl, Eric Kronberg and Amir Lowery will compete in a foosball tournament. The team will also stage merchandise giveaways. Thomson said the club wants to reach out to college students to expose them to the club and the efforts it's making to extend its reach into communities outside of Kansas City. The Wizards had a similar event last year at Kansas City's Voodoo Lounge to introduce its players to the community. "Our biggest asset is that our players are approachable, fun and great to be around," Thomson said. "They are tremendous athletes, but are also just like your college buddies off the field." Jacob Shinn, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and member of the KU club soccer team, said he was a Wizards fan but wasn't aware the team would be making an appearance in Lawrence. He said there was games and if they start knowing the players and who they are, that will probably help" The Wizards last appearance in Lawrence was in 1999 when United States national team legends Alexi Lalas and Tony Meola played a concert for area fans. The club also has extensive ties to the University "Our biggest asset is that our players are approachable, fun and great to be around." ROB THOMSON Wizards vice president of marketing and communications a good chance he would attend, but that it would be nice to have it advertised better to people who don't necessarily follow the team during the off-season. "It's a good thing." Shinn said. "People need to start going to in its front office staff. Ten of the clubs employees are KU graduates and many of its best interns hail from KU, Thomson said. KU students as well. Wahl, a third year defender for the club, said college-age fans in The Cauldron play a large role in creating the environment at games. The club's supporters group. The Cauldron, is home to many "I think it really helps with the excitement and just the energy level of the stadium," Wahl said. "I think when The Cauldron is there and you hear the drums and stuff like that it makes you want to play a little harder." Thomson said with the club moving to Community America Ballpark for this season, it was trying to provide activities college fans would enjoy. The team will provide bus rides to and from games, party decks at the stadium and postgame parties at Legends. "We provide a great gameday experience and the atmosphere at games is perfect for college-aged fans," Thomson said. Despite soccer's place behind more traditional sports like football and baseball, Shinn said there were enough fans to make the event worthwhile. "Lawrence has a lot of soccer fans so it's not like they are coming out here with no hope," Shinn said. - Edited by Jared Duncan INTERNATIONAL Bush finishes tour of Africa, promises increased aid to Liberia BY JENNIFER LOVEN ASSOCIATED PRESS MONROVIA, Liberia — President Bush offered encouragement and help Thursday to lift this shattered country from years of ruinous fighting as he concluded a tour of Africa and turned toward other global problems. In Liberia, the final stop on Bush's five-country trip, almost nothing works and people are nervous about their future in the aftermath of a 14-year civil war that ended in 2003. The country is overrun with weapons, malnutrition is pervasive, half of children are not in school, and many buildings are uninhabitable. There is little running water or electricity and no sewage or landline phone system. "It's easier to tear a country down than it is to rebuild a country," Bush said. "And the people of this good country must understand the United States will stand with you as you rebuild your country" Though Bush's entourage was a bit jittery about his seven-hour stopover, Liberia's president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, declared at one point, "You're safe." and equip African peacekeepers going to Sudan.

"We're working to heal the wounds of war, and strengthen democracy, and build a new armed forces that will be a source of security for the Liberian people instead of a source of terror" the president said. Liberia, founded by freed American slaves, offered an opportunity to trumpet a success in Bush's "freedom agenda," which faces an uncertain future in Iraq and many other nations. Liberia's civil strife brought unspeakable violence. Hundreds of thousands were massacred, boys were conscripted as soldiers to commit horrifying atrocities against countrymen, and the diamond trade was hijacked to finance fighting. At the center of the problem was one-time rebel warlord and dictator Charles Taylor. As the crisis escalated in 2003, the United States imposed sanctions. Liberia's deterioration dominated Bush's trip to Africa that year, and on his return to Washington, the president offered logistical support for peacekeepers — mostly offshore and arriving after Taylor fled into exile in Niger. The U.S. has since helped a transition government hold elections, supported Sireleaf's new government, and funneled millions in aid, including funding for the modernization of Liberia's security forces "from the ground up" as White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe put it. Sirleaf responded by calling the continues to play in helping to end our civil crisis," said Sirleaf.

St. Lawrence KS --- OPINION THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COMMENTARY 5A FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2008 Idea of American dream has failed NICK MANGIARACINA NICK MANGIARACINA It was only a couple of weeks ago that the Britney Spears' drama unfolding during the last year came to a head when she lost custody of her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline. Shortly after the ruling, Spears checked into the hospital, but it was even sooner that she checked out (less than a week later). Britney's collapse is no surprise, though. Her lost custody battle comes after a stand-off with police and an even more bizarre series of events leading up to it. In fact, in just a year Britney has shaved her head, been in and out of rehab, started wearing increasingly outlandish dress (see official Web site and MTV music awards) and perhaps most extreme, insists she is not simply another mediocre washed-up pop star (two studio albums in the last six years after one each year from 1999 to 2001). In just a decade, Britney has gone from pop princess to deranged diva from the spotlight to the highbeam headlights. Now she's staring at the lights. One of these lights is the one the media are shining on her, but the other is the one she shines on herself - her pitiful narcissistic cries that insist, "I'm not old news!" Her extreme behavior supports this. Britney is on the verge of rivaling Courtney Love for ridiculous and shocking public behavior. She is like a child nagging for dessert, and like bad parents, the media have given her unlimited Ben & Jerry's. She is growing fatter, uglier and more annoying because of it. However, this story is not about Britney — it's about the failure of the American dream. Fame has taken its toll on the innocent schoolgirl we were introduced to in 1999. As singer/songwriter Nick Drake once said, "Fame is but a fruit tree, so very unsung." Seeking fame is not unique, but acquiring it is. The irony is that Spears has attained the fame, but it has not let her escape her misery. In fact, it has only isolated her more. Again though, her situation is not unique. First look at other famous people. There are plenty examples of meltdowns: Start with famous writers. What's disturbing is that people still look up to her and people like Britney — or that people still believe fame (or the money that comes with it) will solve all their problems. There is no one solution to all life's problems. If you think there is, then you're addicted to something. Yet we are the ones addicted to this rags to riches story — this fable beaten into us since about age 6. Why do we seek it? A former government teacher said, "Getting rich just freezes up time for you to spend thinking about your problems." It was at that moment when she lost custody of her children that Britney reached the pinnacle of her fame. She reached the top of the mountain, but when she looked around she found she was the only one there, but it meant nothing because there was no one there to share it with. Mangiaracina is a Lenexa senior in journalism. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THEY VOTED ON BRITNEY SPEARS TO REPLACE LADY LIBERTY. WAIT TIL YOU HEAR THE NEW PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANC. Tyler Doehring COMMENTARY Two-party politics lean toward fascism JOSH ANDERSON History is full of government control mechanisms, when limitations are placed on individuals or societies for different reasons and justifications. America was built on a democratic idea meant to minimize these mechanisms and their effects on the lives of its citizens, and, in doing so, increase freedom for the individual and — theoretically — the entire population. Ironically, the two-party system that is popular in the United States that has grown out of this idea is proving to be a highly evolved example of a control mechanism. The danger inherent in the two-party system lies not only in placing an enormous amount of power in fewer hands, but it also drastically reduces our options and limits our freedom. Compare freedom to the rapid sophistication video games have undergone. When I was a child, I was satisfied with moving my 64-bit Mario from left to right in a two-dimensional world, bonking his head on bricks for mushrooms and fire-flowers. As technology and I have improved, my experience has evolved to include acquiring dreumatt of amounts of freedom, in digital worlds where I can exist in life-like situations, performing deeds of renown or unspeakable evil. When I play the newer generation of games, I now have options: I can move Mario in any direction and make a broader range of choices. I can even wear different clothing. The assertion that a two-party democracy is a sham isn't that radical an idea. It is simply a call for real democracy. The freedom of choice arises from our ability to choose among a number of options available. The difference between having many options and only one is the difference between being free or not. But we're still playing Mario, people. The form of democracy in the United States has become a parody of democracy; a farce, where all the actions, regulations and hand-raising signs of real democracy are present, but the beauty of the freedom to choose our own leaders is cheapened by falsely limiting our options to two political parties. We are so enslaved to our comfort zone that any talk of a third party draws condemnation from citizens who mindlessly follow the status quo. A two-party democracy is only one party away from fascism, especially when the actions of one party can't be distinguished from the other. Instead, the constituents furiously engage in the struggle to maintain the status quo in this age group. On college campuses, where ideas like freedom and justice still bloom,the call for real democracy should sound the loudest. I mourn the misplaced ideology of young idealists who believe change is imminent in the current system. In four years, they'll be jaded realists, and that's the real tragedy. I refuse to believe the American people are not diverse enough, multi-faceted enough or creative enough to have as the reflection of our will and fortitude a measly two organizations of questionable vitality and democratic merit. That we allow ourselves to be so limited is astounding, if not downright shameful. Anderson is a Perry senior in creative writing. pop culture catastrophe How much is too far for Michael Jackson? He has the best-selling album of all time with more than 104 million copies sold. There is no denying it, despite how we feel about Michael Jackson.

It's kind of like a Superman/Clark Kent thing." Spirit Squad Coordinator Catherine Jarzemkoski said. Therefore, students in this article remain anonymous for their protection. "I take out at least three kids a game, on accident of course." However, there's a lot more to the mascot than feathers and a beak. Sport fans feel like they know him. Between the high fives and the occasional noogie, students bond with Big Jay like an older brother. There are four students keeping Big Jay's secret. They are two junior and two senior men sharing one identity. The men who rotate being Big Jay are like a brotherhood SENIOR NO.1 with traveling pants. They've shared some of the unwritten rules to their otherwise confidential lives as a mascot. think you have what it takes?

Rule No. Sweat until the job is done HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS Big Jay: 6 feet to 6-foot-3 Baby Jay: 4-foot-11 to 5- foot-1 FAST FACT In 1971, Baby Jay hatched during the halftime show of the homecoming victory game against Kansas State. "The suit is 30-40 degrees hotter than the temperature outside of the suit. Even your ears perspire. Once you are the mascot for a while, you learn to sweat on command. We have one of the biggest heads in the nation, so it is one of the toughest suits to wear. We don't have perception of where our beak is, so we beak people," junior No. 1 said. "I take out at least three kids a game, on accident of course," senior No. 1 said. Rule No. 2: Keep the secret. "The suit probably weighs 50 pounds, even more when it's all soaked in sweat. The suit stays in the nest. The whereabouts of this nest will not be disclosed," senior No.2 said. Rule No. 3: Drink profusely. "Hydrating before the game is like a job. We wake up a couple hours before the game to start drinking water or Gatorade. Also, no eating Chipotle before you get in the suit," junior No. 1 said. Rule No. 4: Be creative...and then some. "We don't lose. But if we do, it is hard to keep the crowd going when everybody is so down," Junior No. 2 said. "Really what it comes down to is that you all have to get along together. I mean you have to be creative and good at what you do but we all get along so well and that's what makes it so much better," senior No. 2 said. Rule No. 5: Follow the fans. "It's a huge time commitment. Volleyball, women's basketball, anywhere there are fans we are there. What people don't realize is that there are also charity events, grocery store appearances, birthdays, weddings, funerals," days, weddings, funerals," junior No.1 said Rule No. 6: It's all about the children. "We love kids. The best thing is giving a little kid a hug that is just so happy to meet you. He just smiles and wants a high five or something. The worst part is disappointing them when they're waiting in line and we have to go. Yeah, the best part about the job is definitely the kids...and the Rock Chalk Dancers," senior No.1 said. Rule No. 7: Live the dream. "I've wanted to be a mascot since junior high and I didn't make the team. I didn't make it as a Spartan. Now being Big Jay is that much sweeter," junior No. 2, "My favorite part about basketball is running out with the team, at the four minute mark, it gets you so hyped up," junior No. 1 said. Rule No. 8: Vote online every day. vote for their favorite. Go to www. easports.com/ncaa09 and vote for Big Jay. It all ends on March 14, so vote every day or more on different computers. We went to the library and voted five times at once. It would just be the perfect culmination of Orange Bowl and basketball victory," junior No. 2 said. KANSAS this ye been the p to b yo th in My ket- the ite Rule No. 9: Being Big Jay is always worth it "To celebrate the first NCAA football on the Wii they decided to put a college team mascot on the cover by having fans Mindy Ricketts/Kansan "Going to the game as a human is awesome. But going as the mascot is the best. You don't get to watch most of the game, people watch you," junior No. 1 said. "Our parents think it's cool that we're this big, fluffy bird, but the fact that we're so close to athletics and we can travel with football and basketball...we're going to remember that stuff for a lifetime. I mean you can't beat the Orange Bowl," junior No. 2 said. Rule No. 10: There is only one Big Jay. Were all so close this year our program has been the best it's been in the past 4-5 years. You got to be able to fit in or else you aren't going to want the same person wearing the suit as you. We have to be the same person," senior No. 2 said. "Yeah, I get excited when I see Big Jay on TV because that's me. No matter who is in the suit, we are one Big Jay." >> SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Edited by Russell Davies BY MARY SORRICK Expo focuses on green technology msorrick@kansan.com More than 800 students from elementary school through high school explore the School of Engineering's annual Expo today and Saturday at the University of Kansas. The event, called "Engineering Expo 2008: Planet Engineering," features exhibits and activities contributed by various departments from the school. Melody Redburn, Wichita sophomore and co-coordinator of the Expo, said the event, which was free and open to the public, would introduce younger students to the variety of work engineers could do. She said the Expo would also help recruit juniors and seniors in high school to high school to the School of Engineering. Among the exhibits devised for this year's Engineering Expo is a bicycle-powered LED display built by Theta Tau, an engineering fraternity. Participants in the exhibit can peddle on the bicycle to generate electricity that powers an electric Jayhawk display. "Green has been a major emphasis in government policy and engineering." McHenry, also an Expo co-coordinator, said the event was unique because it encouraged elementary and middle school classes to work creatively in teams and compete in activities like the volcano contest. engineering expo Reece McHenry, Wichita sophomore, said students from the department of chemical engineering would host a volcano-building contest.

BY SLOBODAN LEKIC ASSOCIATED PRESS At least 150,000 people rallied in Belgrade, waving Serbian flags and signs proclaiming "Stop USA terror," to denounce the bid by Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority to create their own state out of what Serbs consider the ancient heartland of their culture. Protesters burned American flags and the mob that attacked the embassy tore down the U.S. flag there. Crowds also ransacked a McDonald's, looted stores and fought with police in front of other diplomatic compounds in a display of the resentment seething in Serbia over the secession of what has been its southernmost province. A charred body was found in the U.S. Embassy after the fire was put out, but all staff were accounted for, embassy spokeswoman Rian Harris said. Belgrade's Pink TV said the body appeared to be that of a rioter. White House spokesman Dana Perino strongly criticized Serbia's government, saying the embassy "was attacked by thugs" and Serb Coming after smaller outbursts of violence in Belgrade as well as attacks on a United Nations building and police checkpoints in Kosovo, the surge of rioting underlined the determination of Serbs not to give up Kosovo quietly. The Serbian government has said it won't resort to military force, but the street violence could be a tactic to slow moves by more countries to follow the U.S., Britain, Germany and France in quickly recognizing Kosovo's independence. At the mass rally earlier, Kostunica attacked the U.S. and others for supporting Kosovo's independence. "Is there any other nation on Earth from whom (the great powers) are demanding that they give up their identity, to give up our brothers in Kosovo?" he said. police didn't do enough to stop it. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the U.S. warned Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica and Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic that it would hold them personally responsible for further damage. Russia and China lead the states standing with Serbia, worrying that Kosovo's example could encourage separatist sentiment elsewhere. The Kremln has underlined its displeasure by hinting it might back separatists in pro-Western nations such as the former Soviet republic of Georgia.

American officials said the Officers from an elite paramilitary police unit drove armored jeeps outside the embassy and fired dozens of tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd. Rioters wheeled out large garbage bins in an unsuccessful attempt to block the police vehicles. Thick clouds of tear gas obscured hung in the street as officers chased rioters into nearby side streets. Police arrived about 45 minutes after the blaze broke out, and after the riots left the building. A half-dozen fire trucks also appeared and quickly doused the flames, leaving the front facade and two police guard posts on the sidewalk smoldering. offices had been closed at midday because of security concerns. The State Department officials said no protesters got into the embassy's main chancery section, a separate area that was manned by a U.S. Marine guard unit and some security personnel. Masked men smashed their way inside the compound's consular building, tore down the U.S. flag and tried to throw furniture from an office. They set fire to the office and flames shot up the side of the building.

It was the first attack on a U.S. Embassy since Sept. 12, 2006, when Syrian security guards stopped an attempt to blow up the compound. The last time a mob broke into one was the Iranians' seizure of the U.S. Embassy on Nov. 4, 1979, taking American staffers hostage.

Right-handed hitters provide edge for team this season BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com There's no doubt Kansas has depth this season. The question is: Do the Jayhawks have balance? On the mound, five of the six jayhawks in line to start a bulk of the games are left handed. In Kansas' everyday lineup, six of the nine hitters bat from the right side. The hope for coach Ritch Price is that a mainly southpaw staff will give Kansas an edge in a number of ways, and a right-hand-heavy lineup will give the Jayhawks a home field advantage. The few left-handed hitters Price plans to use - freshman catcher Jimmy Waters, senior right fielder Ryne Price, sophomore second baseman Roby Price and senior first baseman Justin Ellrich - will suffice as far as Price is concerned. "I'm a big fan of left-handed hitters," Price said. "We don't have as many as we've had in the past, but I think with Waters, Ryne, Robby and Ellrich, there're four pretty good left-handed hitters in that mix." Ryne and Robby figure to be in the lineup at all times, but Waters and Ellrich will share time at designated hitter and may sit out some games in favor of a right-handed teammate. Price said having so many right-handed hitters could be advantageous at Hoglund Ballpark because the wind often blows out to left field, where right-handed hitters pull most pitches. "It's actually more conducive at our place to be a right-handed hitter than a left-handed hitter most of the time'. Price said. That being the case, even more importance will be placed on the left arms of Price's starting pitchers. opponents will already be inclined to stack their lineups with right-handed hitters against an all-lefty rotation. SEE BALANCE ON PAGE 3B MEN'S BASKETBALL Self returns to alma mater for game BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Four years ago Kansas coach Bill Self walked into Gallagher-Iba Arena. Self - a 1985 Oklahoma State graduate - was returning to his alma mater for the first time as the coach at Kansas. Self saw old friends, toured new facilities and was showered with adulation. Then the game started. "The first time I went down there I did a terrible job," Self said. His Jayhawks were crushed 80-60. COLLEGE BASKETBALL Self, who played at Oklahoma State from 1982-85 and coached as assistant from 1986-93, returns to Stillwater, Okla., again on Saturday. KANSAN FILE PHOTO In 2004, Self had to deal with the distractions that go along with going home. "I put myself in position to see a lot of people." Self said. This time around, Self has to deal with other issues. The Jayhawks will go up against the Cowboys Saturday in Stillwater, Okla., bringing Kansas coach Bill Self back to his alma mater of Oklahoma State University. Oklahoma State's Sean Sutton replaced his father, Eddie, during the middle of last season, and so far, the results have been mixed. Sutton is 13-12 in his first full season, after coaching the Cowboys to a 5-6 record last season during the absence of his father. Oklahoma State fans are curious. Would Bill Self ever want to return to his alma mater? With Oklahoma State struggling, the blogs, rumor-mills and fan message boards were flooded with speculation about the future of the Oklahoma State head coaching position. It's not surprising Oklahoma State fans would be interested in Self. After leaving Oklahoma State, Self led three different programs — Tulsa, Illinois and Kansas — to Elite Eight appearances, and gained a reputation as an excellent recruiter. It's also not surprising that the speculation would grab the attention of Kansas fans, after Roy Williams returned home to his alma mater, North Carolina, in 2003. "It's not something that is even worth talking about," Self said yesterday at his weekly press conference. "It's a dead issue. It's not gonna happen." But Self said he hadn't paid any attention to the rumors. He said he wasn't much for reading blogs, but he had newspaper writers from Oklahoma request interviews to ask about the speculation. Self respectfully declined. "I really think its an injustice to their present staff." Self said. Self served as assistant coach for Eddie Sutton for three years — coaching Sean injury watch Collins has sore knee Bill Self said Sherron Collins hadn't been able to practice this week. Collis is still suffering from a bruised knee he aggrivated in practice last week. Collins said he was expected to play on Saturday. "It's just a little nagging injury and I'm trying not to get it hit again," Collins said. Kansas didn't practice Sunday, Collins was held out of practice Monday and Tuesday, and Self gave the Jayhawks Wednesday off, too. A. C. BALENEY Collins the game dies Saturday,'Self said. Self said Collins hadn't been able to participate in any drills, run or ride the stationary bike. Still, Self didn't Right now the focus isn't on returning home, but rather make sure Kansas stays atop the Big 12 Conference. Kansas is tied at 9-2 with Texas. A loss at Oklahoma State would damper Kansas' hopes for a fourth consecutive regular season Big 12 title.

"That hasn't been home for me in a long time," Self said. In the end, Self, who will coach his fifth game at Gallagher-Iba Arena as the visiting coach, said Saturday was just another road game. The old friends, the lunch dates, even his relatives — they can wait. "You need to focus to do the job, as opposed to making sure that you're friendly with everybody," Self said. "There won't be any social things for me until after this game is over." Self said. —Edited by Jared Duncan COMMENTARY BRYAN WHEELER BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM It all started in the Allen Fieldhouse for Sutton. The Cowboys came to Kansas last January as hot a team as anyone in the country. Coming into the game they were ranked No. 10 in the AP poll with a 15-1 record. Sutton was halfway into his first season as a head coach after his father Eddie Sutton stepped down and deemed his son successor. It looked as if Sean was well on his way to establishing himself as a coach, just as his father had done. The last two games for Oklahoma State may have come as a sigh of relief for coach Sean Sutton. After coming off its worst start in over two decades, the Oklahoma State men's basketball team finally won at home against a then-AP No. 16 ranked Texas A&M. Oklahoma State's victory over Texas A&M was its first regular season road victory in two years, and first road victory for Sutton. But things turned around really quickly for the then-rookie coach. The Jawhays cruised to an 87-57 victory. They were beat fundamentally in every aspect of their game. Whether it was rebounding, field goal percentage or turnovers, the Cowboys struggled. As a team, Oklahoma State turned the ball over 20 times. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, had 17 steals combined and 9 blocked shots. There was no way to sugar coat things for Sutton. "That was an old-fashioned butt kicking," he said after the game. After this, things would become worse before getting better. the Cowboys finished 22-13 (6-10) in the 2006-2007 season. The final loss of the season came to Marist in the first round of the NIT 64-67. A team that was ranked No. 10 in the country had completely fallen apart. In the three seasons before Sutton took over for Oklahoma State, the team had gone 74-26 including a Final Four appearance in 2004. Sutton came into the 2007-08 season optimistic. But things did not get better for Sutton and the Cowboys. Oklahoma State started the season 10-11 in its first 21 regular season games, which is the team's worst start since "I'll be better this year than I was last year and hopefully next year I'll be better than I was this year," Sutton said on Big 12 media day.

ROYALS BRADY 12 A young fan waits for a fly ball as he watches the Kansas City Royals baseball spring training workouts in Surprise, Ariz. on Tuesday. Associated Press POTTORF (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Potterf admitted her parents were a factor, too. Potterf said her parents loved watching her play, and being so close they could come watch a lot of her games. Being able to participate in the camps and getting individual time with the coaches to improve herself as a player was a plus, Pottorf said. Coach Tracy Bunge said that the team voted on captains this year. Potterf said that in the past the team and the coaches were involved in that process, but this year the decision was put solely in the hands of the team. Potterf was named one of the captains along with junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto and senior first baseman Addy Lucero. Being a captain means a lot to Pottorf, and she does not take it lightly. "I want to hold myself up to high expectations and make a great name for the program," she said. Potorf, being a catcher, feels very involved in the success of the team. "We always have a say in a lot of the decisions that go on and I think that carries off the field too in kind of a leadership role," she said. Potorf also tried to gradually improve her game. She said she was trying to improve her consistency batting and to have a better attitude at the plate. "I'm trying to look at more of the positives than the negative," she said. Potterf said the team is continually trying to improve from game to game. The Jayhawkes are a young team with only two seniors on the roster, but Potterf said everybody has tried to improve to benefit the team. The Jayhawks won more than 30 games last season, but Bunge said that a team goal was to win 40 games this season. The Jayhawks continue to grow in the early part of the season and are proving they are not to be taken lightly. "Our pitchers have really done a great job offseason of working hard, knowing that they're going to have to step up this season," Pottorf said. The Jayhawks started off well with a tournament victory at the Central Florida Invitational and three victories at the UNLV Invitational with two losses, each by only one run in that tournament. "I think we are proving ourselves very well and showing everybody that we are underrated and we're going to do what they don't expect us to The team returned eight starters and Pottorf said that the team chemistry was great. The Jayhawks compete in the Houston Invitational tournament this weekend and look to continue to prove themselves on the diamond as they get ready for the Big 12 Conference season. do," Pottorf said. "Just being expected to finish almost dead last in the conference is more of an incentive for us to break out of that expectation," Potorf said. —.250 batting average season stats Edited by Patrick De Oliveira — 3 runs scored — 4 runs-batted-in .400 on-base-percentage WHEELER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) the 1986-87 season.

This season, Oral Roberts is 19-6 on top of the Summit League Conference. Overall, Sutton is 163-108 since he became a head coach in 1999 at Oral Roberts. As Sutton's team struggled, rumors have swirled about Suttons coaching job. The word on the street was that billionaire T. Boone Pickens was to offer Bill Self a substantial amount of money to come to Oklahoma State, his alma mater. Though this rumor may have caught attention of Oklahoma State fans, Bill Self quickly shot it down in a Big 12 teleconference Jan.28. Through nearly two seasons as a coach at Oklahoma State, Sutton is 35-25 (10-17). "If anyone's speculating that, it's people not in-the-know at all," Self said. "That's a dead issue." Oklahoma State will likely have its hands full against Kansas Saturday, but they might find solace in their home court.

The Cavaliers took part in the biggest trade of deadline day, landing center Ben Wallace and swing- man Wally Szczerbiak on Thursday in a three-team deal with Chicago and Seattle. Wallace provides the Cavs with rebounding, shot blocking and playoff experience. Szczerbiak's outside shooting could make teams pay for double-teaming James, the NBA's leading scorer.

Those players all went to Western Conference powers, and the New Orleans Hornets completed a deal they hope proves they are one of them. Past and present research study on A. salicornia plant genetic base and its effects on IPS growth of plant species. Based on further studies, we found that Bacillus subtilis was the most effective in enhancing IPS growth. The Hornets acquired Bonzi Wells and Mike James from Houston, adding depth to their bench for the stretch run. New Orleans dealt Bobby Jackson to the Rockets, where he was reunited with Rick Adelman, his old coach in Sacramento. Adam Haluska also went to Houston in the deal. The bolder move was made by the Cavs, who went to the NBA finals last year but are well behind Boston and Detroit in the East this season. The Cavaliers sent guard Larry Hughes, forwards Drew Gooden and Cedric Simmons, and guard Shannon Brown to Chicago for Wallace, and forward Joe Smith. Cleveland acquired the sharpshooting Szczerbiak and guard Delonte West from Seattle for forwards Ira Newble and Donyell Marshall. The SuperSonics will receive guard Adrian Griffin from the Bulls. Wallace was a disappointment after leaving Detroit, where he was the defensive anchor of the 2004 NBA champions, to sign a $60 million, four-year contract with the Bulls in 2006. The trade allows Chicago to get out from under some of that. . "He was a great teammate," Chicago's Ben Gordon said. "I think he definitely helped us to get to the second round of the playoffs last season. I guess management felt that they didn't reach expectations that they wanted him to.

However, Price feels his left-handers differ in style to throw hitters off from game to game. In particular, Price said junior Sam Freeman had the best fastball on the team, which ranged from 88-93 mph, as well as one of the best changeups on the team. Junior Andy Marks, Price continued, was more of a breaking ball, changeup pitcher. The only other pitcher Price mentioned was junior Nick Czyz, who he said was working on becoming a better control pitcher. If the southpaws can pitch effectively, Price said they could offer additional benefits. "Part of our plan is to try to contain the left-handed hitters in our conference and control the running game," Price said. Senior shortstop Erik Morrison, a right-handed hitter and proud of it, said the goal for the Kansas offense was to score six runs a game. But with the depth he sees up and down the order, Morrison said six was more of a minimum than a maximum. Of course, if it's up to Jayhawk hitters, they'll give their starting pitchers plenty of wiggle room, no matter which arm they throw with. "We're not going to be settling for six runs a game," Morrison said. "You want to get up into double-digits. You want to get teams away. You want to step on their throat and put them down. In this conference, everyone's so deep that anyone can come back." —Edited by Russell Davies The Vulcans began their season last weekend against Hawai'i Manao and lost the series, 1-2. After three games, three players are off to good starts, offensively. Second baseman Michael Higa is batting .700 with the team's only home run, four runs and two RBI. Third baseman Shane Kessel is second on the team in batting with a .400 average and .500 on-base percentage. Center fielder Dayne Ogawa is batting .308 and leads the team in doubles with two. Of Hawaii-Hilo's projected starting pitchers, only right-hander Clayton Uyechi has an ERA under 3.00 after allowing a lone unearned run in six innings last weekend. As a staff, the Vulcans have walked 14 batters in 27.2 innings while having struck out just 11.

Defensively, Kansas will use senior Matt Berner as its top utility man, senior Justin Elrith could see some time at first base, senior Joe Southers could get some action behind the plate and senior Casey Larson and freshman Brian Heere will play some in the outfield. Ellrich and Southers could also be rotated into the designated hitter role, while Larson may also be used as a pinch runner. Senior Eric Snowden will be Kansas' primary pinch hitter. In the bullpen, senior right Hiarall Garcia, Junior lefty Daniel Manos, sophomore right-handers Thomas Marcin and Brett Bollman and freshman right T.J.

Royals player on the move again BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS SURPRISE, Ariz. — Watching Mark Teahen trotting into left field can only mean one thing: a terrific new left fielder will soon show up in Kansas City. That's been the pattern ever since Teahen made it to the big leagues. No sooner does he settle in at a position than somebody comes along to give him the boot. The lean, likable and exceptionally athletic Teahen is working on his third position in three years, asked once again to learn a new job because the Royals have given away his old one. "Next year I think I'll try my hand at shortstop and second Most players try to find a position, learn how to play it well, then stretch their careers out for as long as they can. base, teahen deadpanned. That's what Teahen had in mind when the going to insist on playing right field. Manager Trey Hillman, also at the fan fest, along with a number of players and front office executives, was sought out for a meeting right there on the spot. So when, Teahen was asked the other day, did he find out he would be moving to left? He thought he had found a home and was relieved to hear the Royals announce last winter that Jose Guillen, whom they signed to a rich free agent contract, would play left field. "At the fan fest," he said. — it's best to let him play whatever corner outfield he prefers. But a couple of weeks later Guillen mentioned to someone at the Royals' fan fest that he was Kansas City obviously figured that when it's paying a guy $12 million a year — a team record His strong, accurate arm turned out to be an added asset. He ranked second in the AL and tied the team record with 17 outfield assists. So now it's off to a new position for the versatile and always agreeable Mark Teahen. "When I see them coming toward me with a catcher's mitt; That's when I'll put my foot down." "When I see them coming toward me with a catcher's mitt Gordon's position was third base, so Teahen was asked to move to right field. It was a position requiring skills that were radically different from what he had used as an infielder, but he was willing. After a slow start, he caught on. But the next spring Alex Gordon, a former first-round draft pick who was long considered Kansas City's hottest minor league prospect, was deemed ready for the bigs. Royals brought him up as a third baseman in 2005. He batted a disappointing .246 in 130 games but the next year made a breathtaking jump in slugging percentage, going from .376 to .517. While playing a solid defense, he batted .290 with 18 home runs and 69 RBIs. MARK TEAHEN Royals Outfielder Actually, it does make sense putting Guillen in right, and it's something the Royals had been considering all along. That's where he has played almost his That's when I'll put my foot down," he said. entire career. But he's also taking ground balls at first base, where he has played a few times in the past two years, and is listed as one of four candidates at that position as well. When Gordon needs a break, he could also work at third for a spell. "I've got my first baseman's glove, my third baseman glove and my outfielder glove in my equipment bag," he said. "My shoulder's getting sore carrying it around, but I'll get through it." Plus, there's a big need in left after the Royals declined to make a contract offer to Emil Brown, who played there the past three years while leading the team in RBIs. And Teahen, who may be the best pure athlete on the 40-man roster, has proven he's willing and able to adapt. "But at the same time, it's nice to work on a few different positions and make sure I'm good at all of them. As long as I'm in the lineup every day, I guess where I'm playing isn't a huge factor. They put me at positions because they know I can handle them." Finding a permanent home "would be nice" he acknowledges. NCAA Xavier wins ninth in a row ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Derrick Brown and C.J. Anderson had double-doubles Thursday night and No. 10 Xavier rolled to its ninth straight victory, 75-48 over Duquesne. The Musketeers (23-4, 11-1) solidified their hold on first place in the Atlantic 10 with one of their more impressive performances. B. J.

Brown finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Anderson had 13 points and 10 rebounds. Stanley Burrell filled in at point guard when Lavender was on the bench and had 12 assists. Reggie Jackson had 12 points for Duquesne (16-9, 6-6), which didn't scored fewer than 59 in a game this season.

Listen to 'The Give'n Go'women's basketball podcast on Kansan.com Kansas did everything right in the first half Wednesday night. Then Texas Tech countered with a motivated offense and pressure defense, and Kansas folded like an accordion. The most alarming thing about the loss was that the Jayhawks completely abandoned getting the ball down to center Krysten Boogaard, who was a big reason they had a lead to begin with. The freshman was 6-for-10 from the field in the first half and just 2-of-2 in the second. Texas Tech did turn up the inside pressure, but there's no excuse for getting the team's hot hand just two shots down the stretch. The Jayhawks are shooting a solid 77 percent from the charity stripe, compared to just 50 and 68 percent out of the Cornhuskers and Lady Raiders. At this point trips to the line really are free points for Kansas, but its not playing aggressive enough to earn more fouls and thus more free throws. QUESTION MARK KANSAS AT MISSOURI, 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Mizzou Arena, Columbia, Mo. Boogaard Kansas (15-10,4-8) PETER LEE Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center 9.8 ppg, 5.6 rpg Boogaard had scored a total of seven points in her first three Big 12 games before exploding for 17 against Missouri in the first matchup. She has performed well in every game since then. As long as Boogaard avoids foul trouble, a career high 25 points is definitely attainable – provided her teammates don't stop passing her the ball. Irene Kwabane McCray ★★★★☆ Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard 14.6 pq. 7.3 If she can ever shoot at or above 50 percent from the field in a conference game, McCray will become truly deadly. She's a double-double threat every time she steps on the court, but she's shooting as low as 30 percent in some games. A strong start from Boogaard opens up some looks for McCray, and she has to hit those with more consistency for Kansas to win on the road. McCray's also an 80 percent shooter from the free-throw line and a more aggressive mentality would get her some confidence and easy points at the line. Missouri (8-17,1-11) Alysia Hollins 5-foot-11 Junior guard 16.1 p口 36% PT Despite their miserable season, Hollins is a definite bright spot for the Tigers. Hollins is fifth in the conference in scoring, even though Missouri is last in the Big 12 in scoring offense at 59.5 point per game. During Missouri's loss to Kansas earlier in the year, Hollins was held in check, scoring 14 points on 6-17 shooting. At home it should be a different story, and if she can find room behind the arc, the Jayhawks could be in trouble. ★★★★☆ ★★★★ -Taylor Bern THOMAS ROSENBACH Hollins Jessra Johnson 6-foot-1 sophomore forward 3. 3 ppg, 7.6 ppg It's hard to understand the Tiger's struggles considering the production they receive from Hollins and Johnson. In Missouri's recent narrow defeats to Oklahoma and Nebraska, Johnson averaged 15 points and almost seven rebounds. Unfortunately the Tigers are last in the Big 12 in nearly every rebounding category. To defeat Kansas, Missouri has to put in an inspired effort on the boards. 100 ★★★☆☆ Johnson There isn't much to say about the Tigers' Big 12 season. They've lost nine straight games. The average margin of victory by Big 12 opponents is almost 15 points per game and includes losses by 35 and 30 points to Oklahoma State and Texas. Missouri already lost to Kansas once, and at this point they are playing for pride and to prevent a sweep in the Border Showdown. MU TIPOFF AT AGLANCE Sade Morris — Andrew Wiebe QUESTION MARK Will the Tigers win again this season? This game could be their last legitimate chance at victory this season. Kansas hasn't yet won on the road in conference play and a six-point win in Lawrence doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Missouri's only victory in conference was at home against Texas Tech, a team Kansas just lost to. The Tigers come out ready to play and a victory could give them something to build on for next season.

OKLAHOMA STATE 3 p.m., Gallagher-Iba Arena, CBS AT A GLANCE Oklahoma State is not the team Kansas wants to be playing right now. A matchup earlier in the season would have been much more favorable. Just two weeks ago, the Cowboys were in the midst of a six-game losing streak. Now, they've won three of their last four games, including a big one on the road at Texas A&M. Gallagher-Iba is always a tough place to play, and this year won't be an exception. Kansas has to fight for a victory. WHO TO WATCH down the stretch. Chalmers is tough and has enough confidence that he'll continue to shoot the ball no matter how many times he's missed. That toughness could make a big difference on Saturday. Will Bill Self be coaching for Oklahoma State the next time he's in Stillwater? Chalmers always seems to step up in hostile environments He did at Southern California earlier this year, leading the team in scoring and making a last-second shot. He tried at Texas, attempting several shots Mario Chalmers QUESTION MARK Chalmers Uh, no. There's been plenty of speculation about Sean Sutton getting fired after this season, and Boone T. Pickens, a major donor for the Cowboys, spending big bucks to lure Self back to his alma mater. According to The Oklahoma's Berry Tramel, there is no chance of that happening. Tramel is good friends with Self. He asked Self about the Oklahoma State job. According to Tramel's column, Self refused to comment. HEARYE, HEARYE "It's a long season. We've had some good moments, some not so good moments, and we've had bad moments where we won the game and it's been camouflaged. Every team goes through the exact same thing. I've never had a team nor has any body coached a team where they go through periods of time where some weeks they're a little better than other weeks. It could be a flu bug hitting your team or a lack of focus for whatever reason." -Kansas coach Bill Self on why a team's level of play can vary at this point in the season Kansas (24-2,9-2) THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 PETER MCKENZIE Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard A typical Russell Robinson game the last time out against Colorado. Robinson had four points, five assists and just one turnover. He'll have a tough defensive assignment against Byron Eaton on Saturday. ★★★☆ Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard YOUNG MICHAEL The shot is starting to return. Chalmers scored 13 points last Saturday against Colorado, but his stroke is not quite as consistent as it was earlier this season. Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard Rush will have his hands full against Marcus Dove. Dove is almost the same player as Rush. He can score, but he's even better at playing defense. ★★★★☆ Darryn Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward Jackson could have an easy day going against a front court lacking in skill. The Cowboys' five best scorers are all guards or smaller forwards. Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward ★★★☆★ ★★★☆ Oklahoma State (13-12,4-7) forward forward Arthur hasn't done Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Arthur hasn't done much wrong the past two weeks. He's stayed out of foul trouble and scored consistently. Against Colorado, he had the best defensive performance of his career. ★★★☆☆ Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard THE SIXTH MAN His production hasn't increased like many would have guessed after his stellar game against Baylor. Perhaps he'll be motivated going against fellow big guard Byron Eaton, who is almost a carbon copy of Collins. YOUNG Phog Allen Will Roll Over In His Grave If.. ★★★☆☆ Byron Eaton continues his run of great games. Eaton has finally lived up to his McDonald's All-American status in leading the team to victories against Baylor and Texas A&M, Kansas has the best defensive backcourt in the country. The Jayhawks need to put an end to Eaton's solid play if they want to have the best opportunity to win. Mark Dem James Anderson, 6-foot-6 freshman guard Anderson, a Freshman McDonald's All-American leads the Cowboys with 14.5 points per game. The Junction City, Ark., native can slash to the basket and shoot from the outside. NEDU 2014 1057 KANSAS 10 A. K. Obi Muenelo, 6-foot-5 sophomore guard After breaking his leg and missing 18 games during his freshman season, Muenelo has played all 25 games this season and is averaging 9.8 points per game ★★★☆☆ Though Eaton has struggled from the field — shooting 38.5 percent — the Dallas native has been the catalyst in Oklahoma State's recent hot streak. Byron Eaton, 5-foot-11 Junior guard Through Eaton he has survived. ★★★☆☆ TAMARA WILSON Marcus Dove, 6-foot-9 senior forward Dove will be counted on to guard Darrell Arthur and Darmell Jackson — a tough task for the Cowboy senior. ★★★☆☆ SUNRISE ibrahma Thomas, 6-foot-11 freshman center Thomas starts in the front court but plays only 16.5 minutes per game and averages 5.9 points per game. ★★☆☆☆ BASKETBALL THE SIXTH MAN Terrel Harris, 6-foot-5 junior guard Harris, Oklahoma State's second leading scorer at 10.6 points per game, has been coming off the bench, but he plays starter's minutes. The Dallas native plays 30.8 minutes per game. 1 ★★★☆☆ Jeremy Case Gallagher-Iba Will Be Movie Theater Silent If.. -Rustin Dodd Kansas gets off to a good start. The Cowboys are playing with a lot of momentum right now. They'll be jacked up and so will the fans. The Jayhawks need to start strong if they want to dash Oklahoma State's hopes of a fourth victory in its last five games. Two years ago, Kansas jumped early, and the Cowboys never responded. The Jayhawks need to do the same on Saturday or they'll be in for a tough 40 minutes. OSU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Sean Sutton's critics were busy pointing out the failings of Oklahoma State's second year coach ever since he replaced his father, Eddie, as the Cowboys coach last season. But right when it looked like the Sean Sutton-era was destined to be a failure, Oklahoma State started winning. The Cowboys have won three of their last four games, including victories against Baylor and Texas A&M—and Sutton won his first Big 12 road game. Oklahoma State has the talent to compete in the conference. Junior Byron Eaton and freshman James Anderson are both McDonald's All-Americans, but consistency has been the Cowboys biggest obstacle. WHO TO WATCH James Anderson, freshman guard Kansas recruited the Junction City, Ark., native, but Anderson chose Oklahoma State. In his first season in Stillwater, Anderson is averaging 14.5 points per game and shooting 38.9 percent Anderson Anderson from the three-point line. But with a great crop of freshmen in the Big 12, Anderson has mostly been forgotten. Playing against Kansas on CBS might change that. He'll be matched up with junior guard Brandon Rush, and if he can outplay Rush, Anderson will definitely grab some headlines. QUESTION MARK Will Gallagher-Iba Arena make a difference? It's been a Jekyll and Hyde kind of season for Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are Jekyll at home and Hyde on the road. Oklahoma's victory at Texas A&M Saturday snapped a 19-game road losing streak. But Gallagher-Iba Arena is still one of the toughest places to play in the Big 12. The Cowboys are 11-2 at home this season. The Jayhawks are 5-1 at GallagherIba Arena since 1996 — but they did lose 80-60 to the Cowboys in 2004. HEARYE. HEARYE "I've been positive with them and stayed really upbeat. I told them I believed in them, and we could still win a lot of games. If we just correct a few things and step up and make a play here or there, we'll win some games."

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PALMER JAYHAWKS LOSE RHYTHM ON THE BIG 12 ROAD; MEN FALL AT OSU, WOMEN AT MU PAGE 1B MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2008 WWW.KANSAN.COM AZOU MONEY WOES VOLUME 118ISSUE 101 $97,000 Increased gas costs added this much to the deficit. 8% $26,000 This is rollover money from when KU on Wheels was transferred from Student Senate to the Parking Department. 21% $75,000 This amount was overestimated in the original budget. 335 6% $20,000 This is extra revenue from more students using the bus due to the cold weather. 6% $20,000 This is the amount of the excess gas bill the SafeBus and charter buses pay. 41% $141,000 This amount will come from moving $3 per student from the acquisitions account to the operations account. 18% $62,000 This is the amount of debt that currently does not have any concrete method to pay it off. If another method cannot be found to pay it off, KU on Wheels will have to pay with money from their reserve account or Student Senates. NOTE: All of these numbers are approximated by KU on Wheels. KU on Wheels deep in debt BY BRENNA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com KU on Wheels has less than four months to get itself out of debt. The program has until the end of the 2008 fiscal year, or June 30, to pay off the $250,000 it owes to fund the University's bus system. Some officials say the debt was acquired after KU on Wheels signed a contract that was too expensive for the program's budget. As staff members are seeking to put the program in the black, they are considering various ways to raise the money. May Davis, Clay Center sophomore and transportation coordinator, originally reported a budget deficit of more than $400,000, but since then has lowered that figure to $247,000. One option to lower the deficit is to transfer $3 from the acquisitions fee to the operations fee, which would pay off $141,000 of the debt. Transferring the money is possible because the acquisitions fee can operate in debt, but the operations fee cannot. Davis, a student senator, proposed this idea to Student Senate on Feb. 20. The bill was passed by the Student Rights Committee, and will be voted on by full Senate this Wednesday. KU on Wheels borrowed money from the University to buy used buses, and the acquisition fee is used to pay off that debt. The transfer of funds would set back the payoff for one year until 2016, but Kaiser said the set back wouldn't be a problem. Another $121,000 would come from money left over from the transfer to the Parking Department, from higher-than-predicted cash fares and from lower expenditures in other areas of the budget. Higher fuel prices have contributed to the deficit. Danny Kaiser, assistant director of Parking and Transit, and Davis are searching for a way to solve the remaining deficit of $62,000. They are considering renegotiating existing contracts that aren't being used to their full potential. If they can't find money elsewhere, they said they might use money from the reserve fund, which is money from budget surplus in previous years. "One way or another, we'll get the money." Kaiser said. "One way or another we'll get the money." Davis said that next year, fee increases will make handling budget problems easier. Student Senate voted to raise fees starting next year by $2.70, meaning that the $36 that KU students currently pay to campus transportation will be $38.70 next year. Davis said that although KU on Wheels may seek money from the Student Senate Reserve Account, the debt will not further affect student fees. Kaiser said enduring this budget shortfall for a new contract was worth it. "We have much better buses,better service, and the buses aren't belching black smoke," Kaiser said. Davis said KU on Wheels will be able to pay off most of the debt, but it cannot account for $62,000 it will owe to MV Transportation. The $36 campus transportation fee goes DANNY KAISER Assistant director Parking and Transit into two separate funds. This year the bus acquisition fee was $20, which was used to purchase new buses. The buses that are used with the new MV Transportation contract, some of which date back to 1987, are all used. The acquisition fee is used to buy new buses in small groups, so eventually, all the buses will be newer buses. Five new buses, which cost $338,000 each, will be used after spring break. The other $16 in fees goes to the bus operations fund, which buys fuel, pays drivers and pays for other day-to-day operations. Right now, the bus operation area is in debt, but it must be paid off by the end of the fiscal year. Kaiser said the University's busing system wasn't that big, so only two companies bid on the new contract. Both Kaiser and Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said that the companies' prices were much higher than expected. "When you go for a new contract, you don't know what you're going to get," Kaiser said. Quisenberry said for his first ten years at the University, one of his jobs was to advise KU on Wheels. The program was under the authority of Student Senate until July 1, 2007, when the Parking Department took it over. He said until then, he helped write the budget and always tried to keep it where it needed to be. "I wanted to see a successful system for students." Quisenberry said. When the budget was due for fiscal year 2008, which started July 1, 2007, Quisenberry had to write a budget without knowing if a contract with a new busing system would be signed. The transportation board approved the budget in April 2007, about a month after it voted to move KU on Wheels under the authority of the department. He said he wrote about a 5 percent increase into the budget for inflation, but the ending cost of a new contract with MV Transportation was much higher than he or anyone else predicted. Kaiser said another plan for the future was to provide universal access to the bus system. Students would not have to buy bus passes or pay cash fares to ride the bus, but fees would likely go up to cover the costs. Without accounting for these fluctuating revenue sources, Kaiser said the budget would be more predictable and shortfalls as large as debt details $247,000 initial debt $97,000 debt increased from higher gas price $62,000 no method to pay $141,000 transferring $3 from acquisitions $26,000 rollover cash from Student Senate $20,000 revenue from increased bus use $75,000 over-estimated budget deficit $20,000 portion of the gas bill paid by SafeBus and charters this year would not be a problem. Kaiser said many bus systems around the country were becoming universal access systems. "I can't find another bus system like ours," Davis said. Kaiser said a bus system in Ames, Iowa, which integrates Iowa State's bus system with the city's transit, had gone to universal access and that the director said it was the best thing they had ever done. He said the system was more efficient and provided more rides. The University will enter into a similar contract with Lawrence's transit system on January 1, 2009. - Edited by Daniel Reyes THEATER Student pursues interests in stand-up comedy, acting Chelsie Shipley grew up wanting to be a stand-up comedian.

They said she was a loving, caring woman with many friends and a winning personality. Brianna Denison's body was found in a Reno field on Feb. 15. Police said she was abducted Jan. 20 and strangled by a man linked to two earlier attacks on the edge of the University of Nevada, Reno Her cousin, Spencer Terry, said Denison's spirit would continue to live in the hearts of friends and family. "Could anybody have asked for a prettier face and a more beautiful soul? I don't think so."Terry said. Friend Danielle DeTomaso said Denison embraced all kinds of people. "She knew people from all walks of life," DeTomaso said. "She was the glue that held all of us together." Denison aunt, Lauren Denison, reminded the crowd at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center that "we still have a job to do: bring Brianna's killer to justice." The sophomore at Santa Barbara City College in California was visiting her hometown over winter break when she was abducted while she slept on a couch in a friend's home just off the Reno campus. Outside the memorial service, several members of a fundamentalist Kansas church faced off against more than 150 counter-demonstrators. The standoff, which occurred during a fierce snowstorm, ended peacefully when police escorted the three protesters associated with the Westboro Baptist Church away from the convention center, Sgt. Chris Lange said. Associated Press Meet your Student Senator with Ray Wittlinger, Student Body Vice-President BY JASON BAKER jbaker@kansan.com Believe it or not, junior/senior CLAS senator Joseph Pinaire actually wasn't elected as a senator, he was appointed as one. "I am a replacement senator for the junior and senior classes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, I was chosen by a replacement committee and was not elected in the general election," Pinaire said. His duties are to represent his constituency of upper-classmen in the College of Liberal Arts and Science. He got involved with Student Senate to learn what they do for the KU students. "I have come to find that Student Senate has a lot more power at the University than I had once thought," he said. Pinaire, a Junction City senior majoring in communications studies with a minor in leadership studies, has some impressive background with politics. This past summer, he interned for the U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. Pinaire is very concerned with the environment, especially for campus. One idea he has is for the campus to run on alternative sources of energy. "How sweet would it be to say that our campus is powered by fuel cells or by a wind farm?" Pinaire said. Another concern of his about the environment is cleanliness and keeping the KU campus clean. "Some people don't realize how beautiful our campus is. Whenever I see a plastic bottle or newspaper on the ground, I find it very discouraging." Pinaire said. "Our groundskeepers work very hard to keep campus beautiful, and it would be nice to see students do their part in this process as well." Outside of Senate, Pinaire is very involved at the University. He's been involved in Beta Theta Pi fraternity and organizations such as Natural Ties, Global Partners, Meals on Wheels, Leadersshape, Blueprints, Greek Endeavor, Rock Chalk Revue, Up 'till Dawn, Senior Class Advisory Board, Mortar Board and the University Honors Program. Pinaire said that Natural Ties was his favorite organization. Pinaire has also studied abroad as well. He's done the Paris Summer Language Institute and the European Studies Summer Institute programs and describes them as incredible experiences. Pinaire has also traveled to Prague, Brussels, The Hague, Acapulco, Vancouver and Hawaii. He said that Paris was his favorite because of the food, the people and the culture. After graduation, Pinaire plans to go to graduate school for global communication, political communication and global management. "I am excited about the opportunity to pursue a career in politics, non-profit management, or by helping the NBA expand into Europe," Pinaire said when he got his master's degree. Pinaire is a diehard fan of the NBA, and his favorite team is the Dallas Mavericks. Fallbrook But at the University, Pinaire said his favorite team was the football team. "I followed the team to the Fort Worth Bowl my sophomore year and followed the team to the Orange Bowl my senior year," he said. "It is nice to see how the team has grown throughout my time here at KU." Pinaire is a basketball fan also, but he says some of his friends give him a hard time about it. "Some of my friends have called me a heretic because I grew up a KSU sport fan and came to KU as a KSU fan," he said. "It's safe to say that my friends showed me the error of my ways and transformed me into a KU fan." On campus The seminar "New Staff Orientation" begins at 8 a.m. in Joseph R. Pearson Hall, room 204.

F. WILLIAMS Jordan White, John Volk, Chelsie Shipley and DeAndrea Herron will star in the play "Twelfth Night."The play will be at the University Theatre starting Feb. 29. Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN dodd@kansan.com For Chelsie Shipley, it all began with comedy. Comedy ignited Shipley's love affair with theater and acting, and comedy is the reason a younger, teenage Shipley took the stage two hours into a piano recital and started telling iokes. Shipley, a junior from the small western Kansas town of Lakin, remembered the day she turned a community piano recital into a stand-up comedy routine. "My teacher said 'Why don't you do like five minutes of whatever you want to do, and just tell some jokes?' Shipley recalled. "Everybody was falling asleep, and I get up to tell some jokes and play 'Moonlight Sonata.' Fast-forward nearly 10 years, and Shipley is still entertaining. She's just put aside the stand-up comedy - for now. Starting on Feb. 29, Shipley will be performing in the University Theatre's production of "Twelfth Night," a Shakespearean comedy. "It's all about identity and love," Shipley, who will play the role of Maria, said. Her acting career has also become defined by identity. By working with Paul Meier, professor of theater and film and a nationally known voice and speech coach, Shipley has mastered more than 10 different dialects. In "Twelfth Night," Shipley's character speaks in a Jamaican accent. "Dat coffin and dwinkin' will undo you, I eard my lady tawk of it yesteaday," Shipley said, rolling off a line from "Twelfth Night." Courtney Schweitzer, a fifth-year senior from Leawood and the assistant voice and speech/dialect coach for the cast of "Twelfth Night," said Shipley had a distinct talent for mimicking dialects. "Mostly because she has a very unique sound," Schweitzer said. "She's very creative, and she takes on a dialect and makes it her own." Shipley's own nasally voice seems to channel a female version of comedian Woody Allen. "All the time I hear that," Shipley said. "I think it's because I talk through my nose." Being compared to Allen is all right with Shipley. She said she grew up wanting to be a stand-up comedian. In kindergarten, Shipley said she would fall asleep to the monologues of "The Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson. She had other influences, as well. "My dad is an amazing storyteller and just the funniest guy in the world, and 1 so looked up to him and tried to emulate everything that he did," Shipley said. Devoid of comedy clubs in the 2,500-person town of Lakin, Shipley began doing stand-up routines at local churches and family reunions. "It's the most terrifying thing I've ever done," she said. When Shipley entered high school, she had a realization. "I really wanted to be a comedian, and I thought well, maybe if I can act that could help." Shipley said. Shipley and her friends begged teachers to direct a play at her high school. Her high school's vacant auditorium stage was soon housing a production of the "The Music Man." Comedy also brought Shipley to "I wanted to get out of Kansas as quick as I could," Shipley said. the university of Kansas, a school she didn't plan on attending. But when Shipley was a senior in high school, comedian Bill Cosby was performing at Allen Fieldhouse. Shipley, along with her dad and brother, went to see Cosby. During the trip, they visited the theater department. "I had a blast." Shipley said, "I can't imagine go anywhere else." Shipley, who has been in five University Theater productions, was nominated for an Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship last year for her role in "Hay Fever." "She makes really bold choices," Schweitzer said. "She takes every part of herself and puts it into a role." Shipley said she'd like to give stand-up comedy another go, but right now, acting was her passion. She'd like to make a career out of it. On stage, with the lights and the audience, was where Shipley said she felt most comfortable. "It's going to be a part of my life somehow," Shipley said. "I feel like it's the only time in my life when I reach some monumental amount of truth and honesty," Shipley said. "It's a lot easier to do it on stage than to do it in real life." Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird DOLE INSTITUTE BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS Past, future presidents to be discussed fchambers@kansan.com Students will receive the opportunity to see the 2008 presidential election through the eyes of political journalists Tuesday evening. "Straight from the Trail" is the first lecture of the four-part Presidential Lecture Series presented by the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Jonathan Earle, interim director of the Dole Institute, said he invited journalists to speak at this year's lectures because he wanted students to learn about aspects of the presidential race that students could not find out otherwise by other news outlets. Cori Ast, a student assistant at the Institute, said the youth had become an important demographic in this year's election and students should not waste the opportunity to make their opinions matter. "They can come ask these journalists anything they want, and that's what I plan to do," he said. "The candidates are giving them a voice," Ast said. "I'm so excited to use mine, and I can't understand why other students are not." Earle said that he thought the series was important because the University had not scheduled any other type of event that would help students better understand the presidential race. He said the series' theme was "The American Presidency: Past, Present & Future." The series will consist of two "Straight from the Trail" installments as well as lectures on Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower's and Ronald Reagan's presidencies. Earle said many of the speakers he had invited were still involved with campaigns, which limited their availability and made it impossible for all of the speakers to visit on the same night. He also said that Tuesday's Ohio Democratic debate presented a scheduling conflict as well. Joel Mathis, who is the blue moderator for www.redblueamerica.com, a political blog Web site, and a Lawrence resident, said tomorrow at the first lecture of the series he would explain to students why Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee were so successful in Kansas and Lawrence. Mathis said Obama's win was based on a combination of organization and inspiration. He said he had been told Hillary Clinton had a campaign organization in Lawrence, but he had never seen any proof of its existence. Mathis also said that Obama's organization had done a good job of persuading Independent and Republican voters to reregister as Democrats at the recent caucuses to vote for Obama. Mathis said the election of Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, who is a Democrat, was proof of this trend. Many fiscal conservatives had changed their party affiliation, Mathis said, because they were being pushed out of the Republican Party by the far right. Mathis said the social and religious conservatives were beginning to form the core of the Republican Party, which was why Huckabee won in Kansas. "There are very few places on earth he would get the margin of victory he got in Kansas," he said. Steve Kraske, political correspond- dant for the Kansas City Star, said he, too, was surprised by the lack of effort Clinton seemed to put into her campaign in Kansas. He said Obama made a wise strategic move by visiting Kansas before the state's caucuses. "In some ways Senator Obama has just out campaigned the old veteran here." Kraske said. Mathis also said that he would comment on the recent New York Times article that accused Senator John McCain of having an unusually close relationship with a lobbyist. "It was surprising to see the New York Times come out with such a weak story on such a sensitive issue — and I say that as someone who would rather not see John McCain be president," Mathis said. Kraske agreed that the Times' decision to run the story was a mistake. He said McCain was fortunate that the poor reporting reflected in the article had become the issue instead of McCain's supposed affair. "You've either got the story, or you don't. And if you don't have it, you don't go there," Kraske said.

You see my girlfriend saw an ad on a bulletin board for a modeling agency looking for male models, because when looking for models, the beeriest town in the dullest state in the union is most definitely the place to look. Bob Dole, Don Johnson: sex icons! She took this ad from the board for three reasons in my estimation: because it was ridiculous, because she knows I am a narcissist and because the first two reasons are frequently hilarious when combined. I called the number. Later a man came to ogle me with his eyes. We talked about my future and his bus company, and he left. 1 never heard from this maliciously moussed purveyor of false dreams again. That man in his cargo shorts walked out my door with all of my future contracts with Hugo Boss, and Osh Kosh, and Jordache, stripping the walls of what would have been innumerable blocks of my black and white shirtless body, staring carelessly into the eyes of multitudes of swooning women. His polarized sunglasses atop his head said no to every film director that was dead set on being the one to bring my internationally recognizable face to Hollywood, where we would pioneer new ways to capitalize on the success of the Die Hard quadrilogy, but with, you know, a creative twist. The pair of flip-flops he wore, bought to look frayed and old, crushed beneath them the screams of adoration not yet yielded by the hoards of fans lined up outside of their local Tower Records store to purchase my No. 1-charting sophomore prog-rock album, Historiionica, featuring collaborations with Geddy Lee, David Lee Roth, and Neil Young, featuring such singles as "Um, Try Again Please" and "Grappling Hook." I could have been the second coming of Markie Mark. I could have bathed in the blood of children in order to preserve the youthful glow of my skin, and gotten away with it. I could have taken the world by storm... literally. But he left, and I didn't hear from him. And that's how I learned to never trust anyone. On the other hand, though, that part of my life did help me to find a Nintendo Wii and years before I would have converted to Scientology.

McCain's blundering, while serious, demonstrates effective, overworked PR COMMENTARY BRANDON T. MINSTER It's hard work being John McCain. It seems every time he turns around there's another shady character trying to stuff money in his pocket. I wish I had McCain's problem, but the closest I ever got was a guy in a community college parking lot trying to sell me a VIP pass to a new strip club. I guess not everyone can be a war hero. It's like McCain lives in a comedy of errors, where he finds himself face-to-face with a rich guy in awkward moment, so he compliments him on his money, just to have something to say. The rich guy says, "Oh, do you want some?" "No, thank you. That's okay." "Come on, take it. "Oh, I couldn't." "You must. I insist." a Dutch date. "You insist? Well, now that you've put it that way, I guess I have to." And he walks out with his pockets bulging with cash. Like I said, it's hard work. John McCain supports campaign finance reform more adamantly than any other politician because no other politician needs campaign finance reform more than John McCain. He's found his way to the center of an impressive number of congressional financial scandals. First came his days as a member of the Keating Five, a group of senators accused of corruption in 1989, taking millions in campaign contributions from banker Charles Keating while pressuring regulators to back off the oversight of Keating's failing savings and loan. Keating and McCain's wife were business partners, but McCain didn't see a conflict of interest because his prenuptial agreement divided their assets. Evidently every dinner out for the McCain's is Last week we had his flat denial of ever having met Bud Paxson, despite Paxson's memory of meeting McCain in the senator's office. McCain says he never spoke with Paxson or any of his associates. However, he used Paxson's personal jet, took his campaign contributions and then just happened to write two letters urging the FCC to take speedy action on a Paxson business deal. If McCain is wondering why people have been quick to believe these allegations, it might be because they've heard this one before. Now McCain denies he posted his eligibility for federal election funds as collateral for a loan, insisting that the real collateral was the idea that he might someday in the future post the federal matching funds. I'd like to say I can personally vouch for the ease of securing million-dollar bank loans on the promise of an idea, but again, I've just never experienced many of the hardships of the senator's career. For instance, I've never had issue ads mention me by name within 30 days of a primary election or 60 days of a general election, and now, thanks to McCain, I never will. I'm sure that was rough for the senator, having members of the public talk about him before an election. I mean, that might end up effecting the outcome. Luckily, the Constitution has absolutely no provisions about whether or not Congress can make a law respecting speech. (The Bill of Rights might have said something about it, but it belongs to Omnitouch now.) McCain is like the "good girl" who sleeps over at a different guys house every night and then can't understand how she got a reputation as a "bad girl." But when faced with allegations of impropriety, McCain feels it's easier to ban the talking than to stop being improper. Because, when you're John McCain, ending the impropriety is the hardest part of it all. D "All the News That's Fit to Print" VOL. CLVII...

The council's president acts as Cuba's head of state. Castro was accompanied by Cuba's Vice President Juan AlMEsia Bosque. ASSOCIATED PRESS HAVANA — Cuba's parliament named Raul Castro president on Sunday, ending nearly 50 years of rule by his brother Fidel but leaving the island's communist system unshaken. In a surprise move, officials bypassed younger candidates to name a 77-year-old revolutionary leader, Jose Ramon Machado, to Cuba's No.2 spot — apparently assuring the old guard that no significant political changes will be made soon. The retirement of the ailing 81 year-old president caps a career in which he frustrated efforts by 10 U.S. presidents to oust him. The U.S. has said the change from one Castro to another would "This conviction has particular importance because the founding and forging generation of the revolution is disappearing." Raul Castro added. In his first speech as president, Raul Castro suggested that the Communist Party as a whole would take over the role long held by Fidel, who formally remains its leader. The new president said the nation's sole legal party "is the directing and superior force of society and the state." Raul Castro stressed that his brother remains "commander in chief" even if he is not president and proposed to consult with Fidel on all major decisions of state — a motion approved by acclamation. Though the succession was not likely to bring a major shift in the communist government policies that have put Cuba at odds with the United States, many Cubans were hoping it would open the door to modest economic reforms that might improve their daily lives. not be significant, calling it a "transfer of authority and power from dictator to dictator light." Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday Cubans have a right "to choose their leaders in democratic elections" and urged the government "to begin a process of peaceful, democratic change by releasing all political prisoners, respecting human rights, and creating a clear pathway towards free and fair elections." Her statement, issued shortly before parliament met, called the developments a "significant moment in Cuba's history." Cuba's parliament chose a new 31-member ruling body known as the Council of State to lead the country. The council's president serves as the head of state and government. The vote ended Castro's 49 years as head of the communist state in America's backyard. He retains his post as a lawmaker and as head of the Communist Party. But his power in government has eroded since July 31, 2006, when he announced he had undergone emergency intestinal surgery and was provisionally ceding his powers to Raul. The younger Castro has headed Cuba's caretaker government in the 19 months since then, and Fidel Castro has not appeared in public. In his final essay as president, Castro wrote that preparations for the parliament meeting "left me exhausted," and he said he did not regret his decision to step down. "I slept better than ever," he wrote in the commentary published on Friday. "My conscience was clear and I promised myself a vacation." In Old Havana, Maria Martinez, a 67-year-old retiree, watched the announcement on a Chinese-made television in her dark living room. "He's a trustworthy man," she said. "He won't make mistakes." "All we really want is peace and tranquility," she added. ELEVATION: UNLIMITED Aim higher. At Ernst & Young, we encourage you to shoot for the sky.

Rush head-faked once and hoisted up a last-second heave. Rush's shot drew nothing but rim. "I thought it was going to bounce in." Rush said. "A miracle was going to happen." Go figure. Kansas needed miracles to beat a normally toothless Oklahoma State team Who would have ever thought that? Certainly not the folks who witnessed Kansas' 20-0 start, and certainly not the Jayhawks themselves, who have now lost three out of the last four on the road. And unlike in Kansas' first two road losses against Kansas State and Texas, which were deemed as excusable losses to good teams in tough environments, the Jayhaws looked shockingly ordinary on Saturday. "We stunk, I mean, we stunk," Kansas coach Bill Self said. Self was rightfully displeased. Kansas, which hadn't played in a week, played like a team in need of a spark. Kansas air-ballied shots, racked up 21 turnovers on a number of errant passes and had costly mental breakdowns on defense. "I felt like we were out of rhythm the whole game," senior Darnell jackson said. Jackson, who led Kansas with 16 points and 10 rebounds, may have been on to something. Senior guard Russell Robinson and sophomore guard Sherron Collins lead the rest of the Jayhawks off the court after losing to Oklahoma State 61-60 Saturday in Stillwater, Okla. Kansas fell to 9-3 in the Big 12 with the loss and dropped to second place in the conference behind Texas. The first half had the rhythm of a tap dancing rhinoceros. The two teams combined to shoot 35.9 percent from the floor, while racking up a combined 25 fouls in the first half. Three of those fouls came in a scuffle in the opening minutes. Oklahoma State junior Terrel Harris was assessed a personal foul, and Oklahoma State freshman Ibrahimia Thomas and Kansas sophomore Darrell Arthur were each whistled for technical fouls. "It was nasty," said Oklahoma State guard Bryon Eaton, who led all scorers with 26 points. It didn't get much prettier. Jon Goering/KANSAN Arthur's technical gave him two fouls in the first half, and he played only 17 minutes, finishing with six points. Kansas was also hamstrung by Sherron "There's not many good players out there that can produce if they're only playing 15 minutes a game." Self said.

"I thought they played good," Kansas coach Bill Self said after the game. "But we stunk, and you can credit that to OSU are large part of that to the crowd." COMMENTARY Hawks defeated in ugly battle BY CASE KEEFER CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM STILLWATER, Okla. — The janitors at Gallagher-Iba Arena may have spent extra time mopping the floor after Oklahoma State's 61-60 victory against Kansas because what happened on it was downright sloppy. The game was ugler than Frankenstein's monster. From the beginning, it became clear that watching this mess unravel would be as difficult as reading Ulysse in one sitting. Five of the layhawks' first six possessions ended in either a turnover or an air ball. The inefficiency continued for the rest of the day as Kansas committed 24 personal fouls, 21 turnovers and threw up plenty of shots that didn't even make contact with the rim. "I don't know if we were distracted, but we certainly gave the appearance of being distracted and not as focused because we made a lot, a lot of mental mistakes," Kansas coach Bill Self said. It's true, Kansas was Bad-News-Bears-awful, but the complete lack of any sort of pace in the game hurt it equally. Bizarre circumstances in the first half made the flow dissipate to the point where it didn't even feel like basketball. It started when Oklahoma State freshman center Ibraima Thomas decided he was more interested in taking cheap shots than helping his team. When Kansas senior center Sasha Kaun checked in and the referee turned his back, Thomas shoved Kaun for no apparent reason as a greeting. Minutes later, Thomas incited a minor quarrel under the basket when he picked on Kaun again as he fought for a loose ball. The incident led to a delay as officials reviewed the tape and called a technical foul on Thomas and Kansas sophomore forward Darrell Arthur. The distractions didn't end there. The arena became silent in confusion when an Oklahoma State booster sitting courtside was ejected after he apparently touched the referee, which resulted in another interruption. "By the way it started off, the scuffle, they thought they were going to come in here and push us around," Oklahoma State junior guard Byron Eaton said. "We had to let them know we're going to fight, you are in our house. You're not fixing to come in our house and take us off our court." A first half with less rhythm than William Hung was devastating for Kansas, a team that thrives off a lethal pace and scoring transition points. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State gained confidence and embraced the slapdash nature of the contest. And the layhawks didn't. In the second half, the Cowboys tried to lengthen all of their possessions by holding the ball until the end of the shot clock. The layhawks couldn't adjust and continued to look like they were trying to compile a bloomer reel. Eaton called the game "nasty." But he knew the unpleasantness paid off for the Cowboys in the end and gave them their biggest victory of the season. It also gave the Jayhawks their most hideous defeat. Senior guard Russell Robinson was the victim of two embarrassing blocks, junior guard Mario Chalmers fell on a fast break and junior guard Brandon Rush missed a wide open three-pointer by multiple feet. Edited by Sasha Roe WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Turnovers costly for team at Mizzou BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com Not only was Kansas making these mistakes early in the year, but they're also the same problems that cost it a victory at Texas Tech on Wednesday. COLUMBIA, MO - As the season progresses, so should a team. Mistakes that cost Kansas a game in November should be long gone come February. However, the Jayhawks turned the ball over 19 times and came out flat in the second half Sunday afternoon, allowing the Tigers to go on a run and sneak out of Mizzou Arena with a 62-59 victory. "I'm very disappointed," freshman forward Nicollette Smith said. "We've been 44 Wecton White / KANSAN Freshman center Krysten Boogaard puts up a shot over Missouri forward Shakara Jones. Boogaard finished the game shooting 3-10 from the floor for six points and eight rebounds in a 62-59 loss Sunday at Mizzou Arena. prepping and prepping, trying to finish off the season strong, and then we have these two hard losses." Smith carried Kansas in the first half, shooting a perfect 3-for-3 from the floor and free-throw line to score 11 points. That wasn't enough as the Jayhawks trailed 31-30 at halftime. Coach Bonnie Henrickson credits that to an inability to grab offensive rebounds. "I was disappointed in our lack of effort to the offensive glass," Henrickson said. "The shooter's got to think it's going in, but everybody else on the floor has got to think that's my chance at a shot." Like Texas Tech, Missouri stormed out of the locker room with a 12-2 run - to which Kansas had no answer. After Missouri's initial surge, sophomore guard Danielle McCray tried to pull her team back with back-to-back three-pointers. Tiger guard Alyssa Hollins took over the game with 19 of her team's final 24 points to score a game high 27. "She hit a couple of threes, got to the offensive glass, got fouled and put it on the floor," Henrickson said. "That's what she's capable of and that's where she's hard to guard." Kansas kept up with Missouri down the stretch but turnovers prevented them from recapturing the lead. McCray was tough defensively during that time too, knocking two passes out of bounds on one possession. However, Hollins ended that possession with a fade away trey to beat the shot clock and push the lead to 48-40 with 10:49 left. "If we could cut our turnovers to 12 or 13, I don't know that there's anybody right now in the league that could beat us." Henrickson said. "We shoot the basketball well once we get it, but we don't get enough possessions." McCray thinks that her team's turnover difficulties are more mental than physical. "It's not that we can't make the pass, it's just that we're not focusing and concentrating on how to make the pass," McCray said. Despite their problems, the Jayhawks cut the lead to one with two minutes left, thanks to a shot clock-beating layup from sophomore guard Sade Morris. With 26 seconds left and the Jayhawks down 60-57, Tiger forward Jessra Johnson missed a shot and freshman center Krysten Boogaard collected the rebound, but in the traffic she fell down and was whistled for traveling - the team's 19th and final turnover. Hollins sank a pair of free throws then sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs hit a layup with three seconds left to end the scoring. This was Missouri's first victory in the past 11 games, but Kansas knew from experience that it wouldn't lie down. "We were in the same position as them last year, so we knew what we were getting into," senior forward Taylor McIntosh said. "We knew they were going to be hungry for a win, and we didn't play like that in the second half." The season wraps up in a hurry for the Jayhawks, and Henrickson thinks her team is eager to take it head on. "We've got a stretch where we're going to play three games in a week, and I think wed all like to play tomorrow and get this taste out of our mouths, especially two games of it," Henrickson said. "We've been stewing on this for about six days now."

Because of the cold Kansas winter, the Jayhawks have not played a full round of practice outside. "We are just looking forward to getting into some good weather again and allowing us to play a little bit," coach Kit Grove said. The Jayhawks have been limited to practice indoors and have even gone to the Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Though the Jayhawks competed in the Hawaii-Hilo Invitational earlier this month, they said it has been hard to stay prepared. "With the weather, it's almost like we're almost starting over again,"Hopfinger said."It's up and down." Bryan Wheeler SOFTBALL Team strikes victories in the Houston Invitational The University of Kansas softball team continued its solid start to the season with four victories and only one loss in the Houston Invitational Tournament. The Jayhawks' only loss was to the Houston Cougars, 7-3, who are ranked 20th in the USA Softball Collegiate Top 25. The KU offense was powered by home runs this weekend. Sophomore first baseman Amanda Jobe had two home runs, while junior third baseman Val Chapple, sophomore second baseman Sara Ramirez and freshman catcher Brittany Hile also hit home runs. The Jayhawks reached the run rule against Cal State Northridge, and put up nine runs in the first inning. They went on to win 10-2. The Jayhawks put up four runs in their first two games against Texas State and Centenary, winning 4-2 and 4-0 respectively. Freshman pitcher Allie Clark shutout Centenary through six innings and junior pitcher Valerie George struck out all three batters she faced to complete the shutout. The Jayhawks had some last inning heroics from Jobe and Chapple, who both hit home runs against Boston College in the bottom of the sixth inning to earn the victory.

Turns out, the Tigers aren't even best in their own state. Tyler Smith hit a turnaround jumper in the lane with 28 seconds left and No. 2 Tennessee knocked off the nation's last unbeaten team, edging top-ranked Memphis 66-62 on Saturday night. The Volunteers (25-2) won the I- "You guys all said we needed to lose one, so we lost one," Memphis coach John Calipari told the media, trying to shrug off the end of the nation's longest home winning streak at 47 games. "Great game. I have to give them credit. They scrapped, they battled." 40 showdown and are likely headed to No.1 for the first time in school history. Tennessee won on a night when star guard Chris Lofton scored only 7 points, beating up the Tigers with a dominating performance on the boards. Lofton did finish it off, though, hitting a couple of free throws with 4.5 seconds to go after Memphis (26-1) intentionally missed at the line. calendar TODAY Men's Golf, The All- American, All day, Houston Women's Golf, Fresno State Invitational, All day, Frésno, Calif. TOMORROW Men's Golf, The All- American, All day, Houston Women's Golf, Fresno State Invitational, All day, Fresno, Calif. Now the spotlight shifts to the Vols, who've never made it to a regional final, much less the Final Four. "No. 1's great," Lofton said. "But we want to be No. 1 at the end of the year." The city along the Mississippi River, famous for Elvis Presley and the blues, was downright electric before the game. Thousands streamed along Beale Street, ducking into the juke joints for a helping of music and beer, or headed over to Rendezvous to munch on slab of juicy ribs. Priscilla Presley, who had Graceland bathed in Tiger blue the night before the game, watched from a front-row seat. NFL star Peyton Manning managed to land a seat in a luxury box to cheer on Tennessee, his alma mate. Tickets were going for as much as $5,000 on the Internet. The fans in the lower bowl were on their feet the entire game. "It was a great night for college basketball in the state of Tennessee," said Vols coach Bruce Pearl, who felt the atmosphere was reminiscent of another big night in Memphis, when Lennox Lewis knocked out Mike Tyson in a heavyweight title fight. "This town hasn't been like that since that fight. It was alive." Not so much at the end. The blue-clud fans sat glumly in their seats, as if they couldn't believe their team actually lost at home for the first time since a setback to Texas on Jan. 2, 2006. "We've just got to learn from it. We lost," junior Robert Dozier said. "They just out-toughed us. They get every loose ball, every offensive rebound. They just outlapped us." Despite their perfect record, the Tigers had plenty of skeptics who felt their lofty record was more the result of beating up a bunch of patsies in an unheralded league, Conference USA. They wanted to show they really were worthy of making a run at Indiana, the last team to win a championship with a perfect record, way back in 1976.

By the time the Jayhawks returned home from their five game series with the Vulcans, Kansas had lost its first-ever series to Hawaii Hilo. Hilo. Land In a series that saw both teams combine for 18 errors, it was only fitted that defensive mishaps on the Hawaii-Hilo (4-4) side helped spark the Kansas (2-3) offense to a 16-4 victory. On the mound, junior left-hander Sam Freeman (1-0) was one of a select few Jayhawk pitchers to tame the Vulcan bats as he cruised to victory. After three innings of scoreless baseball, Kansas exploded for eight runs in the fourth. Junior first baseman Preston Land singled to lead off the inning and advanced to second on an error by Vulcan pitcher Jesse Moon (0-1), but Land's biggest hit was yet to come while Moon's problems would only multiply. Moon followed up his error with a walk to senior right fielder Ryne Price and found the bases loaded when senior shortstop Erik Morrison reached on a fielder's choice that failed to net an out. Vulcan third baseman Peter Rodgers didn't do Moon any favors, committing an error on a ball hit by Kansas freshman third baseman Tony Thompson, letting Land cross the plate for Kansas' first run Statistics from the first four games Hawaii Strive-O **Hitting** Hits: 18 Strikeouts: 25 **Pitching** Strikeouts: 17 Walks: 11 **Defense** Errors: 6 Three Kansas runs later, and Moon handed the ball off to Casey Koizumi. Koizumi faired no better. weekend.stats Freeman MILWAUKEE In addition to hitting a batter and throwing a passed ball, Koizumi allowed the Kansas offense to bat back around to Land - a mistake the Kansas cleanup hitter made him pay for. With two men on, Kansas went into Sunday with a 24-31 record against the Hawaii-Hilo. The Jayhawks lost the series. After sitting through two extra inning losses earlier in the series, Freeman eliminated any chances Land brought everybody in with a home run to center field. The home run was Land and Kansas' first of the season and gave Freeman a comfy 8-0 lead to work with. for a Hawaii- Hilo comeback. Freeman, who transferred to Kansas at seme- ter, pitched four scoreless innings before Hawaii- Hilo scratched its first run in the fifth. In all, Freeman threw six innings, striking out four, while allowing two runs on nine hits and a walk. Not bad, considering Kansas' three previous starting pitchers combined to allow 11 runs on 19 hits and seven walks in 12.2 innings, while striking out eight. For good measure, Kansas added six runs in the sixth, batting around for a second time, and two runs in the seventh. Six Jayhawks collected hits in the sixth, including senior catcher Joe Southers, who led the inning off with a triple and added a single later on. In the seventh, senior first baseman Justin Ellrich followed Land's lead with a two-run shot of his own to right field. The Vulcans added a run in the sixth and two more in the seventh off freshman right-hander Brett Bochy, but never threatened to take their fourth game of the series. As part of a doubleheader, the game went seven innings, rather than nine. Kansas' 16 runs in the series finale surpassed the 10 combined runs the Jayhawks scored the first four games of the weekend. Kansas coach Ritch Price can only hope the 16-run onslaught will kick start his offense with the likes of No. 21 Arkansas, No. 6 Vanderbilt, Xavier and Iowa coming up this week. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Game 1 FRIDAY Kansas 2, Hawaii-Hilo 1 **Win** - Wally Marcel (1-0) **Loss** - Clayton Uyechi (0-1) **Save** - Paul Smyth (1) After spending the preseason almost exclusively indoors, Kansas showed signs of rust against a Hawaii-Hilo squad that opened its season the week before. However, strong pitching by the Jayhawks left the door open for the Kansas offense to claim the lead. Hawaii native Wally Marciel got the start for Kansas and didn't disappoint family and friends who witnessed his homecoming.The lefty pitched six innings, allowed only one run on five hits and a walk, and stuck out four. Before he left the game, though, his offense gave him just enough support to earn the victory. With two out and right fielder Ryne Price on first, catcher Buck Aferin singled to center field, sending Price home to break the 1-1 tie. With its first lead of the game, the Kansas pitching staff sealed the deal. Right-hander Brett Bollman took the ball in the seventh and struck out the ball in order. Right-hander Hiarail Garcia followed threw a scoreless inning of his own in the eighth. Closer Paul Smyth entered in the ninth, converting his first save opportunity of the season, but Offensively, Kansas was stifled most of the game by Hawaii-Hilo's Clayton Uyeyche and Emil DeAndreis, but a couple Jayhawks broke through. Afenir and third baseman Tony Thompson led the team in hits, each going 2-for-4. Price went 1-for-2 with two walks and drove in Kansas' first run of the game. Center fielder Nick Faunce collected Kansas' only hit of the game, going 1-for-3. not without making it interesting Dayne Ogawa led off the ninth for Hawai-Hilo and was plunked by a Smyth pitch. A passed ball ushered Ogawa into scoring position and a sacrifice bunt sent him to third base. Smyth settled down thereafter inducing a line out and ground out to end the game. SATURDAY Game 2 Kansas 3, Hawaii-Hilo 4 (8 innings) **Win** – Dustin Gilmore (1-0) **Loss** – Brett Bollman (0-1) Game 3 Kansas 4, Hawaii-Hilo 12 On Saturday, Kansas struggled in all areas of its game - pitching, defense and offense - en route to losing both ends of its doubleheader with Hawaii-Hilo. In game one, Kansas struck first on a sacrifice fly by first baseman Preston Land that drove in center fielder Nick Faunce in the first inning. However, the lead was short-lived. Hawaii-Hilo's Peter Rodgers, Dayne Ogawa, Keoni Manago and Ronel Trias led off the bottom of the second with consecutive doubles off Kansas left-hander Shaefe Hall to assume the lead, 3-1 Kansas crawled back into contention with a run in the fifth and sixth innings to tie the game. Land again came through in the fifth with a double, plating Faunce After reaching on a double in the sixth, Kansas catcher Buck Afenir scored the tying run on an infield error. As part of a doubleheader, game one was scheduled to go seven innings, but with the score still tied, the teams went to extra innings. The Vulcans didn't let the Jayhawks hang around for long, though. With two on and two out, Kansas closer Paul Smyth entered the game looking to squelch Hawaii-Hilo's rally. Instead, Smyth committed an error, allowing the game-winning run to score. While game one went into extras, for all intents and purposes, game two was over in five. Through four innings, Kansas left-hander Nick Czyz was rolling, with three strikeouts and only one run surrendered. The Kansas offense was still sputtering, but it still held the lead heading into the bottom of the fifth. SUNDAY with a two-run fourth inning. Ryne Price, stepping in at catcher for game two, led off the inning with a walk and promptly stole second. Price eventually scored on a sacrifice bunt by third baseman Matt Berner while shortstop Erik Morrison advanced to second. A single by first baseman Justin Ellirch drove Morrison home for the final run Kansas would score for the game. In the bottom of the fifth, the wheels fell off for Czyz. After letting two of the first three batters he faced reached base, Czyz fought back to get a second out with no harm done. However, he couldn't nail down a third. After walking the bases loaded, he walked home the tying run. He'd be charged with four more runs before the inning ended. Righthander T.J. Walz entered the game for Kansas, but he couldn't put out the flames. By the end of the inning, Hawaii-Hilo held a commanding 8-2 lead that it never lost The Jayhawks took the lead Overall, Kansas was outscored 16-7 and outshit 23-12 while committing five errors in the double deuce. Game 4 Kansas 3, Hawaii-Hilo → (9 innings) *Win* – Emil DeAndreis (1-0) *Loss* – Paul Smyth (0-1) The error bug struck Kansas again in game one of Sunday's doubleheader as the Jayhawks dropped their second extra innings match of the weekend and the series. An error by Kansas second baseman Robby Price in the bottom of the third allowed Hawai-Hilo to rally for the first runs of the game. With two outs, Rodgers singled and Dayne Ogawa doubled off Kansas right-hander Andres Esquibel with runners on to take a 2-0 lead. Kansas retaliated with a two-out rally of its own in the top of the fourth. First baseman Preston Landi got the rally started with a single to left field. Then defensive woes struck Hawaii-Hilo as an error allowed right fielder Ryne Price to reach base. A single by short-stop Erik Morrison put Kansas' first run on the board and catcher Buck Afenir followed with a two-run single to flip the advantage in the Jayhawks' favor, 3-2. Smyth struggled in relief. Smyth entered with a man on and one out and a one-run lead in the bottom of the sixth, only to let the Vulcans knot the game at 3-3 on a two-out single by Thomas Brown. But, once again, closer Paul The score held at threes until the bottom of the ninth. With Smyth still on the mound, Vulcan Michael Higa singled with one out and advanced to second on an Alvis Satele ground out. Higa wasn't on second long as an error by Kansas third baseman Tony Thompson on a ball hit by Rodgers gave Higa the green light to take home and clinch the series. football notes Looking fine Former Kansas tight end Derek Fine entered this week's NFL combine with a whisper, but went out with a bang. Before the combine, Fine was ranked anywhere from the 16th to 19th best tight end in the 2008 Draft Class according to ESPN.com, NFL-DraftCountdown.com, and NFLDraftScout. com. According to NFL.com, Fine performed 24 bench press repetitions, tied for third best at his position. The 6-foot-3, 251-pound former Jayhawk ran a faster time in the three-cone drill than any other tight end and finished second among tight ends in the 20-yard shuffle. Fine's 4.84 second 40-yard dash time was not one of the 10 best at his position. Fine caught 46 passes and scored four touchdowns last season at Kansas. Other players Two other former Jayhawks didn't fare as well at the combine over the weekend. Offensive tackle Anthony Collins, who left Kansas after his junior season for the NFL Draft, and wide receiver Marcus Henry participated in drills Saturday and Sunday. Neither finished in the top 10 among players at their positions. This week Defensive tackle James McClinton will work out at the combine today and cornerback Aqib Talib will participate in drills Tuesday. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. slated Talib as the No. 7 pick in the 2008 Draft in his most recent mock draft. 》 MLB Injuries may allow pitcher to start Cardinals ASSOCIATED PRESS JUPITER, Fla. — St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Todd Wellemeyer is vying for one of two early openings at the bottom of the rotation. He sees the opportunity as Chris Carpenter and Mark Mulder recuperate from surgery and Matt Clement rebuilds arm strength after recovering from surgery. Wellemeyer, 29, made his major-league debut with the Chicago Cubs in 2003 and remained a long relief pitcher for a little more than four seasons before the Cardinals claimed him off waivers from Kansas City on May 15. St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Todd Wellemeyer throws while coach Dave Duncan looks on during spring training baseball practice, Monday Feb. 18, in Jupiter, Fla. He had spent three years as a regular starter in the Cubs' minor-league system before his call-up. Injuries to Cardinal pitches helped him into that position, and now Wellemeyer has to battle with Anthony Reyes and Brad Thompson to fill out the rotation. St. Louis gave him 11 starts last year. He was 3-1 with a 3.65 earned-run average. The team also won nine of those contests. "I'm glad I finally got to a manager who actually saw me as a starter," Wellemeyer said. "My three years in Chicago, I had no chance. I'd be primed to get a start, and they would always just bring somebody up if somebody got hurt, and I would just sit there. I got there by being a starter, and since I was there, somebody labeled me as a reliever. I just wanted at least one start." seam fastball and now has two fastballs, two changeups, a slider and a curveball.

The sophomore guard played only 11 minutes and missed his only shot. Self said Collins practiced only 15 minutes the entire week. "He's a shadow of what he can be," Self said. "Hopefully, he'll get back where he can help us. I certainly would have played him more, if he was capable." With Collins sidelined, it was Oklahoma State's bowling ball point guard, Eaton, who took control of the game. Eaton repeatedly drove to the basket and drew fouls on Kansas' big men. And it was Eaton, who shot 16-18 from the free-throw line, who made the game-winning free throw with nine seconds left after driving into the lane and drawing a foul on Sasha Kaun. MEN'S BASKETBALL WRAP-UP "He's the MVP of the game," Jackson said. "We couldn't contain him at all. He got it in his mind that he was going to take over the game, and that's what he did." The Jayhawks did show some resiliency in the second half. Down 48-39 with 10:20 left in the second half. Rush sparked a 19-6 run that gave Kansas a 58-54 lead. "We had the game sealed," Rush said. Rush's performance mirrored the Jayhawks' day. The junior was abysmal in the first half, going scoreless and missing all five of his shots. Rush rebounded in the second half with 12 points, but his miss in the waning second sealed Kansas' loss. Rush said the last-second play was designed to give Chalmers an opening to the basket. Rush's second-half performance wasn't enough for Self. "He had a terrible day," Self said of Rush. "But we just didn't play as a group." Jackson echoed his coach's feelings. "I don't know what it is," Jackson said. "But we need to find it out and work through that, so we can all stay on the same page. We played terrible." Edited by Katherine Loeck Two Jayhawks endure family tragedies Stewart's, Jackson's focus on game affected by deaths BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com STILLWATER, Okla. — Darnell Jackson stood somberly amid a mass of reporters with notepads after Kansas' 61-60 loss to Oklahoma State Saturday. Back in his home state, in the presence of more than 30 family members, Jackson — with a baseball cap pulled over his eyes — leased his head toward the ground. As Kansas dealt with its third loss of the season, two Jayhawks dealt with family tragedy. Jackson's cousin, 19-year-old Kasey Corie McClellan, died Wednesday after being shot last week at an Oklahoma City nightclub. On the same day, senior guard Rodrick Stewart's 21-year-old adopted brother, Allen, was murdered in Stewart's hometown, Seattle. "Anytime one of your family members loses their life, it's hard to just try to put that to the side and focus on a game." mates had come to his aid the last few days. "It was hard" Stewart said. "My head was not in it today. I'm going to be real." Stewart, who played 11 minutes Saturday, said he'd been leaning on Jackson for support. "They are always checking on me to make sure I'm focused and make sure I'm not drifting away," Jackson said softly. "It's easy for me to talk to Darnell because he can relate to the same thing I'm going through," Stewart said. RODRICK STEWART Senior guard For Jackson, his cousin's death is another one in a series of tragic family events. Jackson, who played 36 minutes and scored 16 points, said his team- Jackson's grandmother, Evan, was killed in a car accident in 2005, and his mother, Shawn, was seriously hurt in the same accident. Jackson's uncle was also the victim of violent murder. Kansas coach Bill Self said held never had a team that had been through such a tragic week. "We've got a lot going on. It's not the players' fault they're distracted." Self said. "We had two murders this week with immediate family." "I've never coached that before," Self said. "I don't know the coaching manual on some of that stuff" Jackson — his hat still low walked through and his face calm — walked through a crowd of lajhawk fans to meet his family. The senior center then paused to pose for a photograph and cracked a smile. "He's been through a lot and he just keeps smiling," Stewart said. "That's the first time I've seen him smile since the incident." With Jackson surrounded by family. Stewart stood and reflected on the week. "I was trying the best I could," Stewart said. "Anytime one of your family members loses their life, it's hard to just try to put that to the side and focus on a game." Stewart, who will return to Seattle and miss Wednesday's game at Iowa State, shrugged his shoulders. "I gotta go watch my brother get buried on Wednesday," he said. "It's a part of life, I guess."

Eaton scored 26 points, hitting 16-of-18 from the free-throw line including the one that gave the Cowboys a 61-60 lead with nine seconds to go in the game. BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton calculates his players' greatness in a unique way. After a 61-60 victory against Kansas, Sutton said he used beating the Jayhawks as a measuring stick to judge his players' legacy. "The good players that have been in our program have beaten Kansas here," Sutton said. "And it's been so important to their career." Sutton's formula might work. Recent Cowboy greats Desmond Mason, Doug Gottlieb and Bryant Reeves all beat the Jayhawks at least once in Gallagher-Iba Arena. It's time to add junior point guard Byron Eaton to that list, who beat No. 4 Kansas practically single-handedly Saturday. Eaton set a career-high in points with 26, and 16 of them in free throws in the victory against Kansas. He missed only two free throws all afternoon and blew by the Jayhawks' vaunted backcourt with relative ease. one was open for a potential shot, he found them and recorded four assists. Sutton thought it was about time for the breakout. Eaton acted as the floor general that he said his coach asked him to. When a teammate was in the wrong place, Eaton told them. When "I thought it might happen midway through his sophomore year," Sutton said. "But I'm just happy he's playing as well as he's playing right now." Eaton's career had been widely regarded as a disappointment through his first two-and-a half years in Stillwater. As a McDonald's All-American out of high school, Eaton was supposed to be the Cowboy's immediate star. But Eaton said he just wasn't doing the right things. He struggled to keep his weight down, listen to his coach's criticisms and give full effort everyday in practice. With the departures of Oklahoma State's two leading scorers, Mario Boggan and Jameson Curry at the end of last season, Sutton told Eaton he had to become a leader. He wasn't ready. Oklahoma State limped out to an 11-12 overall record with Eaton shooting barely more than 35 percent from the field. Then, something clicked. Two weeks ago Eaton scored 25 points and dished out eight assists in a victory against Baylor. It was his signature game in orange. That was until Saturday, when he put up similar results against one of the nation's top-ranked teams. "This is what coach Sutton wanted when he recruited me," Eaton said. "I just started doing some things that I should have been doing a long time ago." And a lot more than that. The Jayhawks were stealing the momentum in the first half when they took only their second lead of the game at 21-18. Eaton answered by hitting two three-pointers in less than two minutes right in the face of Kansas guard Brandon Rush. Eaton also set up the biggest basket of the game. Cowboy senior forward Marcus Dove nailed a wide open three-pointer with a minute remaining after Eaton penetrated the lane and dished the ball off to him. To Kansas coach Bill Self, there's no mystery why his team left his alma mater with a loss. "From my perspective, he (Eaton) would be the primary reason as an individual why they're playing better," Self said. "Because he's playing like one of the guards in the league, which he is." HIGH low HIGHS COACH GUNDY IN THE HOUSE The funniest moment of Saturday occurred when Oklahoma State's football team took the floor during a first-half time-out. Coach Mike "I'm a man, I'm 40" Gundy and his team was on hand to accept its trophy for winning the Insight Bowl. What was Gundy going to say? No? In a scene straight out of an awkward reality television show, the chairman of the Insight Bowl said: "Coach Gundy, Will you accept this trophy for your great Insight Bowl victory over Indiana?" UNRULY FANS The second funniest moment of the day came when a front-row Oklahoma State fan was booted out of Gallagher-Iba for allegedly grabbing a referee. After the game, Sutton said he was unhappy about the ejection and noted that the fan was a close friend of his and an avid supporter of Oklahoma State athletics. "It's ridiculous," Sutton said. BRUCE PEARL AND ERIN ANDREWS This event happened hundreds of miles away at the Memphis- Tennessee game, but it deserves a mention. ESPN's Erin Andrews' half-time interview of Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl is sure to become a YouTube classic — right up there with Suzy Kolber's sideline interview of Joe Namath on Monday Night Football. LOWS GALLAGHER-IBA ARENA For being considered one of the loudest college arenas in the country, Gallagher-Iba was noticeably un-raucous on Saturday. The atmosphere picked up in the second half, but the High/Low believes that the atmosphere at Gallagher-Iba was a distant second to the intense crowd the Jayhawks experienced at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan earlier this season. KANSAS THREE-POIN1 SHOOTING After quick reprieve against Colorado last Saturday, Kansas was back to chucking ip bricks from long-distance against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks were 2-11 from three-point range. Kansas now needs some help to win a share of the Big 12 title. Kansas has to win out, and hope Texas trips up in one of its remaining games. Texas plays K-State tonight, and has games against Texas Tech, Nebraska and Oklahoma State on its schedule.

Beasley had a game-high 44 points in Baylor's 92-86 win. BY STEPHEN HAWKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS WACO, Texas — Michael Beasley and Bill Walker are going to need some help if Kansas State is going to win its first Big 12 Championship. The sensational high-scoring freshmen can't beat teams on their own. Beasley set a big 12 record with 44 points and Walker scored 31 on Saturday night, and yet the Wildcats lost their fourth straight road game, 92-86 to Bavlor. And the Bears didn't even mind watching what their coach Scott Drew called the best "two-man performance" he's ever seen. "It's not difficult," said Kevin Rogers, who had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Baylor. "The final score shows that two people can't be a team. We came out and played as a team." Curtis Jerrells scored 24 points, including some clutch baskets in the go-ahead spurt, to lead five players with double-figure scoring as Baylor (18-8, 6-6 Big 12) ended a four-game losing streak. Beasley and Walker, the first Kansas State duo with 30 points in the same game, didn't get that kind of help. Only four other Wildcats scored, none with more than five points and two with only a free throw. "We felt like we had the game," Walker said. "We had some breakdowns on defense. Those guys shoot the ball pretty good and made some "That doesn't change who we are or how we've got to play,or what our mind set has to be to win." "We're not going to forget all the good things we've done to this tough shots, and it's game over. We just made it a point to go out there and assert ourselves." Saturday at Oklahoma State and in January lost to Kansas State for the first time in 20 games. MICHAEL BEASLEY Kansas State forward Despite consecutive losses that will almost certainly drop them out of the national rankings Monday, the Wildcats (18-8, 8-4) still have a shot at winning the Big 12 title. "That doesn't change who we are or how we've got to play, or what our mind set has to be to win," Beasley said. "We've got the top two teams on our schedule so we control our own destiny." K-State plays Monday night at home against league-leading Texas (23-4, 10-2) and next weekend at fourth-ranked Kansas (24-3, 9-3). The Jayhawks are coming off a loss point," coach Frank Martin said. "We're a good team." Beasley's two free throws with 1:56 left gave him 44 points, one more than the conference record, and made it 87-85. But he didn't score again and Kansas Stat couldn't get closer. It was the third 40-point game of the season for Beasley, the Big 12 leader in scoring and rebounding who made 14-of-25 shots. He also had 13 rebounds, his 23rd double-double to break Carmelo Anthony's NCAA freshman record. Kansas State had a 66-65 lead left when Beasley made two free throws after being fouled inside. The Wildcats were even at 69 when Blake Young hit a three-pointer with 10 minutes left but never regained the lead. Baylor responded with a 16-7 run, including two three-pointers by berries with the shot clock running down. On both threes, Jerrells listened to the students counting down the expiring shot clock before taking his shot, the second one making it 85-76 with 3:41 left. In between the threes, Jerrells missed a running jumper with the shot clock at 1 second but grabbed his own rebound and went right back in uncontested for a score. After Beasley's last points, Jerrells drove again with the shot clock running down. He missed, but was fouled and made both free throws. Walker missed a couple of three-pointers after that, and Beasley took only one more shot - a desperate three in the last frantic seconds. Beasley had 28 points by halftime, matching his own Big 12 record for points in a half. The previous game record of 43 points was shared by Missouri's Clarence Gilbert against Iowa State in January 2001 and Texas' Reggie Freeman against Fresno State in December 1996. "Going into halftime, those two guys were beating us by themselves," Jerrells said. "It takes a team . . . We outplayed them as a team." Walker had 12 by halftime, when the Wildcats led 44-38. He had 28 points in the second half of a lopsided victory over Winston-Salem State in December. LaceDarius Dunn had 16 points for Baylor and Tweety Carter 12. Aaron Bruce, the struggling senior guard out of the starting lineup because of his recent struggles. "They started just throwing the ball up as high as they could and he would just go get it at the peak." Kevin Durant had the previous scoring record for a half with 26 against Baylor in January 2007. CURTIS JERRELLS Baylor guard added 11 points on three-of-four shooting. About the only thing Jerrells struggled with was trying to guard Beasley, an assignment he asked for after halftime. "They started just throwing the ball up as high as they could and he would just get it at the peak," said Jerrells, the 6-foot-1 guard who is nine inches shorter than Beasley. "As you could see, we kind of went away from that." BIG 12 BASKETBALL WIZZOO 25 ASSOCIATED PRESS Colorado's Jermyl Jackson-Wilson, right, fights Missouri's Daryl Burterfield, left, during the second half of the basketball game in Columbia, Mo. Saturday, Missouri won the game 60-53. Tigers add another loss to Buffaloes' list BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — Darryl Butterfield has had such a spotty senior season that even the Missouri home crowd appears worried when he launches a shot. Maybe they won't be so hard on the 6-foot-7 forward after Saturday night, when he led a strong effort from the Tigers' bench in a 60-53 victory over Colorado. Butterfield had eight points, five more than his total from the previous four games, and most of them coming in key spots. "You could just see the bounce in his step," coach Mike Anderson said. "You've got to find somebody to come off there and give you that lift, and he was that particular guy." Keon Lawrence had 16 points for Missouri (15-12, 5-7), which needed 32 points from the reserves after squandering all but two points of an 18-point cushion early in the second half. "Coach told us before the game that our bench had to bring it," said Butterfield, who averages 3.9 points. "He said don't think about playing, just play off instincts. "That's what we did; that's what I did." Marcus Hall had 17 points and Richard Roby 14 for Colorado (10-16, 2-10 Big 12), held without a free-throw attempt for the first time all season. Hall was held scoreless the final 11 minutes as the Buffaloes lost their 19th straight conference road game, including an 0-6 record this season. Anderson said he can't remember a game in which one team didn't make it to the line, calling it "mind-boggling." Colorado coach Jeff Bzdelik chose his words carefully, while noting the Buffaloes scored 34 points in the lane. "It wasn't like we weren't going to the rim," Bzdelik said. "There's nothing I can say that will be right." Colorado was whistled for just 12 fouls and Missouri 11, with the Tigers going 4-for-9 from the line. "I told the referee that we hadn't been to the line," Roby said. "I was hoping they would give us a break or something. They didn't realize it. "And we took about four or five charges that didn't get called." Reserve Leo Lyons had 10 rebounds and seven points for Missouri, which led 40-22 three minutes into the second half. Colorado cut the gap to 50-48 when Roby scored from the baseline with 4:02 to go, but Missouri scored eight of the next 10 points. "I think we started trying to win with offense and we've got to be a team that's going to hang our hats on defense," Anderson said. "You've got to credit Colorado. They've got some seniors and they wouldn't quit, but we were able to find a way." TURNS OUT, PIGS CAN FLY! YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE THEM INTO SANDWICHES FIRST. FREAKY FAST!

"Out of 50 questions, the guy got five correct," said Kuntz. "And this was a starting player in the major leagues, a very well known guy. I thought, 'Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness." Before a game starts, what are the first two things a player should check? Stumped? Don't fret. When first base coach Rusty Kuntz asked the Kansas City Royals to take his quiz on outfield play and baserunning fundamentals, there were quite a few "who didn't have a clue." So Kuntz came up with a detailed list of written questions and tried them out on a number of players. The results were encouraging. But that was better than the first player Kuntz quizzed a couple of years ago in Pittsburgh. "By the end of spring training, I gave the same player the same test, along with a bunch of other guys, and he got every one of them right. And I noticed that during the year, he responded quicker to certain situations. I thought if you can do that for outfield play, why not throw in some baserunning fundamentals?" Now as first base coach on Trey Hillman's new staff in Kansas City, Kuntz's written quizzes have become a big feature of the first full week of spring training. Even Hillman says he's benefited. "We talk about wanting this to be a learning situation," said Hillman. "There's always things you can learn. I've learned from Rusty about things that were considered my areas of expertise. If you ever get to a point where you feel like you know it all, it's probably time to get out." Not every player on the Royals was given the written quizzes. Among those who were, there was a wide range of success and failure. Kuntz did not want to name the slackers, lest anybody be embarrassed. But getting a lot of the written questions incorrect does not necessarily mean the major leaguers have not been paying attention while playing the game for as long as most of them can remember. For a great many, it may be the first time they've ever been drilled in the finer points of the fundamentals of the game. Another possibility is that some players are not accustomed to written tests but have learned to react instinctively when situations arise during a game. "Id say it was 50-50," said Kuntz. "Some of them did relatively well. Some did OK. And some had no clue." "These guys are major league players, but they've got a couple of years of minor league experience, and before that they were in high school," Kuntz said. "I'm trying to get them out of the box. I'm trying to feed them bits and pieces so they can apply it once the game starts, such as can you have an infield fly rule on a bunt play?" That's one most of the Pirates two years ago and most of the Royals this spring got wrong. "They say you can," Kuntz said. "The answer is no, you can't." ASSOCIATED PRESS NEED CASH?

Kansas City Royals infielder Billy Butler laughes with teammates during baseball spring training Sunday in Surprise, Ariz. $40 TODAY $80 THIS WEEK FOR NEW DONORS "I had experienced baserunners say it's live," said Kuntz. "Well, it's actually dead. But if the same ball hits an umpire on the outfield grass, then the runners keep running because that's a live ball." A lot of players didn't know that the proper way to slide feet-first into a base was to have the front foot straight up, or that the sun and the wind should be taken into account as soon as a player leaves the clubhouse before a game. KC One of the Royals who aced the tests was outfield prospect Chris Lubanski. "The tests have been great because the ones you get wrong, now you know the situation," he said. "And the ones you get right, it refreshes your mind. At least now I know that I know what's on." So which question was missed most often? "When you're waiting on a fly ball, wi.at part of the ball do you look at, the top or the bottom?" Kuntz said. "Everybody said the bottom. But you've got to concentrate on seeing the top." And the easiest question anyone missed? "The distance between bases. It's 90 feet, of course. Some guys got that wrong."

Weston White / KANSAN Kansas players look on in dismay during the final moments of a 59-62 loss to Missouri Saturday afternoon at Mizzou Arena. Kansas loses in Border Showdown Only three Big 12 games remain BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com COLUMBIA, Mo. — Kansas learned just how quickly momentum can shift during Sunday afternoon's Border Showdown against Missouri in Columbia, Mo. Down by 11 and fighting to keep the game within reach after seven lackluster second-half minutes, Kansas looked to have a slim chance of winning its first Big 12 road contest. With a little more than 11 minutes left, the energy finally looked to be shifting Kansas' way. Sophomore guard Danielle McCray drained consecutive three-pointers to bring Kansas within five and quiet the Mizzou Arena crowd. As quickly as the Jayhawks found some hope, Missouri junior guard Alyssa Hollins snatched it back. Hollins' prayer from behind the arc with one second on the shot clock gave Missouri an eight-point lead it would never relinquish. Hollins took over the game in the second half, scoring 22 points, including 19 of the Tigers' final 24 points. Despite heading to the locker room with only five points at halftime, Hollins said she found her offensive rhythm in the second half. "I've always been streaky so when I get them to go down I just keep putting them up" she said. Hollins' 27 points were enough to give Missouri a three-point victory at 62-59; just its second in conference play. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said although her team did a good job containing Hollins in the first half, she knew it would be difficult to stop the talented junior if she got enough touches offensively. "What we were supposed to do was not let her catch it," Henrickson said. "She's a lot easier to guard when she doesn't have the ball in her hands." With the loss, the Jayhawks are now 0-7 on the road in Big 12 conference play. Henrickson said to win on the road her team has to maintain its focus and intensity for the majority of 40 minutes. This is something they have rarely done this season. "We have to have better sustained effort for 40 minutes," Henrickson said. "Right now we ebb and flow and we take plays off. I think from the tip we don't have the defensive intensity." Even more importantly, Henrickson said Kansas couldn't continue to commit unforced errors and expect to have a chance to win. The Jayhawks committed 19 turnovers to eight assists while the Tigers recorded 13 assists to 11 giveaways. "Offensively, the number one thing for us is that we do not value the ball and we throw it around," Henrickson said. "Half of those turnovers don't make any sense." Kansas will have to start making sense of their offensive carelessness with only three Big 12 games remaining.

Kiltschko won the fight. Ukrainian eases in to win BY GREG BEACHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — With one round to go in a dreary dominant performance, even Wladimir Klitschko's trainer implored him to provide a thrill for a whistling, booing Madison Square Garden crowd that had been promised heavyweight action. "You have to knock him out, or this is going to be bad," Emanuel Steward pleaded with Klitschko in an exchange picked up by HBO's microphones before the final round of his fight with Sultan Ibragimov. Klitschko wouldn't do it, sticking with his plan to slap and poke his smaller opponent into oblivion. He might not always be exciting, but he's probably the best heavyweight around — and he's one belt closer to the being undisputed champion. Far too strong and much too long, Klitschko barely took a punch while winning a unanimous decision Saturday night, defending his IBF title and claiming Ibragimov's WBO belt in the first heavyweight unification fight in nearly nine years. "I'm happy to have three belts," said Klitschko, who also holds the IBO title. "I'm happy to get the WBO belt back. That was the first title I had." Klitschko, the chess-playing Ph.D. from a famed Ukrainian fighting family, used physics and simple geometry to remove nearly all risk from his meeting with Ibragimov, the previously unbeaten Russian underdog. The 6-foot-7 Klitschko is at least a half-foot taller and 20 pounds heavier than Ibragimov, who constantly appeared to be flailing against a mean-spirited older brother. With little more than an insistent jab, Klitschko (50-3, 44 KOs) slapped and herded ibragimov around the ring in front of a crowd of 14.011. "He was very difficult to fight," Klitschko said. "He kept backing off. He's very careful, but the result counts." KICK IT UpA NOTCH!

Rookie hopes for backup job MLB BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS "Just all these guys that have been there where I want to be, it's important for a young guy to look at them, see how they carry themselves, see how they take care of their business and go about their daily routines," Smith said. TUCSON, Ariz. — It seems Seth Smith has been watching and waiting his whole life. The 25-year-old rookie who helped fuel the Colorado Rockies' remarkable run to the World Series with his clutch bat off the bench is among four outfielders competing for two backup jobs with the NL champions. "Backing up Eli definitely helps me with patience," Smith said. "But at the same time, instead of worrying about when it is going to be my time, you kind of worry about what you can learn from the guy who's doing it right now." Nowadays, his teacher is right fielder Brad Hawpe, although Smith watches others such as Todd Helton and Matt Holliday with a keen eve, too. Smith never did displace Manning as the first-string quarterback at Mississippi, where he didn't take a snap in three seasons. But he went to Oxford to play baseball anyway, and on the diamond he was the star, not the stand-in. Being an understudy is nothing new to Smith, who spent his college football career as Eli Manning's backup at Ole Miss. So he knows all about biding his time and picking up tips from the stars. Smith has his work cut out for him as he tries to beat out last year's incumbent backup outfielders Cory Sullivan and Ryan Spilborghs, along "That's the first time you can sit back and enjoy what just happened." Smith said. "When it's happening, you're worried about winning baseball games and taking care of business. But then you get into the offseason and you reflect on the emotions and the ups and downs and the victories and defeats that you've just gone through. Hopefully I'll feed off my experiences from last September and October." He produced key pinch hits against Philadelphia and Arizona after earning a spot on the playoff roster by going 5-for-8 in his September call-up. The Rockies drafted Smith in the second round in 2004, and after a quick rise through the ranks, which included 17 homers and 82 RBIs at Triple-A Colorado Springs last year, Smith made his major league debut last September on the night the Rockies began their 21-1 run-up to the World Series. When the season ended, he reclined in disbelief at his .571 batting average against big league pitching.

Spilborghs often filled in for an injured Willy Taveras in center field and hit .299 with 11 homers and 51 RBIs in 97 games. $19 98 Mo Wireless Broadband Internet Podsednik said he was healthy again after two injury-riddled seasons, and if so, he could provide the Rockies with some speed on the basepaths following the departure of Kaz Matsui to Houston and also insurance should Taveras' leg injuries dog him again this season. "Obviously, you've got to like some of the things some of the guys we've had for a while," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Sullivan acclimated to that role so well last year, a role he'd struggled in previously. Spilborghs was like your sixth man in basketball. But also you're talking about another left-handed bat. With Podsednik, you got a guy who's a legitimate leadoff hitter with speed. Maybe we can rekline him." Hurdle bristled, however, when it was suggested Smith had no shot behind those three. "You cannot overlook what he was able to bring to the table late in the season," Hurdle said. "He has that going for him." Smith also will get a look in center field in mid-March, which "would make him a much more attractive fit," Hurdle said.

Kristin Hoppa/KANSAN PARKING Lots vanish during construction of complex Stadium parking decreases by 222 spots, department looks for new areas to amend loss BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhawkansan.com Students will lose 222 parking spots as a result of the newly constructed Anderson Family Complex south of Memorial Stadium. Although the Athletics Department and the Design and Construction Management Department had originally guaranteed the replacement of all 667 parking spots, only 445 spots will be replaced said Donna Hultine, director of the parking department. "It was presented to me that they would replace spot-for-spot what they took," Hultine said. "My understanding was that we'd be getting them all back." "If someone could find a suitable site that blends in with the topography and the land then it would be considered," Crupper said. "That hasn't happened yet." The problem is that there are no sites for additional parking available said Dennis Crupper, project manager of the DCM department. Chance Management Associates, a nationally renowned parking consultant, released a study in April 2005 that said student parking on campus was inadequate and the University had the tendency to build or expand buildings without thinking about parking until later, or not at all. This information was released before the construction of the new football complex began. Hultine said she receives an average of two phone calls per day from students who complain about the lack of parking. Since the beginning of the project, the DCM department has built three lots to the west and southwest of the stadium, which have a total of 227 parking spots to replace the ones that were lost. Hultine said the DCM department estimates that it will also be able to keep 218 additional parking spots once the Anderson Family Complex is complete. Mark Reiske, DCM associate director, said he expects these spots to be available by next fall. "Right now it's sort of being used as part of the construction site, but a lot of that will come back." Hultine said. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said he didn't think parking was a big issue on campus. Marchiony said he'd rarely seen lot 94, east of the stadium, filled to its capacity. "I've never really heard anyone complain about it," he said. "I'd be interested to see someone take pictures of the lot to see if it ever fill up," he said. "If those spots aren't being used then I kind of see it as a non-issue." Hultine said that's only true during the spring semester. "It doesn't fill up that often during the spring, but it usually fills quickly up during the fall," she said. "If the track and throwing area moved to a different location, that could open up "I don't blame them for wanting to have a great facility," Hultine said. "It just happens to take up a bunch of our parking lots." Crupper said one potential site for a parking lot is the area northeast of the stadium. some suitable land for parking," he said. "However, I don't think there are any plans to do that at this point." —Edited by Sasha Roe While Hultine said she was disappointed that the Athletic Department and DCM department wouldn't be able to follow through with their stated goals, she said she wouldn't hold it against them.

Yale when I first arrived as a freshman was the most exciting place and exciting experience. I went there having never been east of Chicago, growing up in Sioux Falls, S.D. and going to a public high school. Suddenly I was being exposed to all sorts of new ideas, new people, classes in art history, music, literature, history, even my economics class seemed mind-blowing. I'd go back to the dining hall after a class and we'd continue BY KELCI SHIPLEY kshipley@kansan.com Mary Ann Kendall You have attended and taught at colleges throughout the U.S. and out of the country.Was education different depending on demographics? I attended Yale for my BA and my PhD; I attended Oxford in between my undergraduate and graduate years at Yale and got a master's in philosophy there. I was never a student at Harvard. I was on the faculty there before moving here, although it was my first job, so I was learning an awful lot. I must say, these institutions were more alike than different, even Oxford. I loved my time at each of them, but they draw on basically the same pool of people for students and faculty. It can start to seem like a very small world after a while. the conversation from class! I had spent my high school years hiding how much I liked academics in a desperate attempt to be cool – and now all the cool kids were smart and happy to talk about Derrida versus de Man, or various interpretations of the civil war. It was a thrilling time. Being just a train ride away from New York City didn't hurt either. Taylor Miller/KANSAN How did you become interested in English? I loved to read as a kid - I was one of those kids who was constantly reading a book. Walking around reading, reading in the car. When I learned to drive, I would have to throw my book in the back seat to stop myself from reading while driving. When I realized in college that I could get paid for I was eager to get back to the Midwest and to teach at a public institution and really happy when KU advertised a job in my field. My husband grew up in Kansas City, so I was familiar with the area and very impressed with Lawrence and KU. I got really lucky when the job was offered to me: this was exactly the sort of institution and department I had been hoping to land in and we were able to move "back home" in a way so that my kids would have their grandparents, auts, uncles, cousins near by. How did you end up at the University? Did you ever think that you would become a professor? THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2008 My father and both my sisters are medical doctors. I knew I didn't want to do that, but somehow thought the best alternative was becoming a lawyer. It wasn't until college and being exposed to professors and the academic life that I thought I might be able to do that. reading and for talking about what I read - become an English professor, in other words - it seemed too good to be true. What's your favorite thing about teaching? I love introducing students to these incredible novels and poems and getting to hear what they think as they read them for the first time. What's your favorite subject to teach and why? Romantic poetry is probably my favorite, with gothic literature a very close second. They are my favorites because I know the most about them - have thought longer and harder and read more in these fields than others - and I love the chance to communicate and share my ideas and enthusiasm, love to hear what the students think and to have them question or challenge my take on things. Talking about what you love, sharing it with others, convincing them that it's worth their close attention and hard work – that is the joy and challenge of teaching for me. Are you currently working on any writings? What's your favorite book at the moment? I've been reading children's novels for fun lately – probably a sign that I'm regressing or something in my old age - latest read: "Freddy the Detective" by Walter Brooks. I'm finishing a book manuscript on eighteenth and nineteenth-century images of children and childhood in Britain. Do have any hobbies? Do you have special talents or skills? Getting dinner for four on the table before 7 p.m. when I've just arrived home at 6 p.m. and have worked all day - does that count?

Connect, a student coalition running for seats in next year's Student Senate, announced its second initiative Sunday. The initiative adds a free application offered by Google to the Outlook Web Access system used by the University. The application would allow KU e-mail sign in to stay the same but change the e-mail to the format of Google's mail system. Mohsin Iman, account strategist for the Google applications education team, said Gmail and Google were started by two students from Stanford and now are on the cutting edge of technology. He said offering free e-mail to schools was a Google effort. Google offers a free e-mail application, called Gmail, to accredited nonprofit kindergarten through 12th grade schools and universities. It gives each user technical support and 6.5 gigabytes of space, which is 65 times the amount of space currently available to students. The application is integrated with the school's existing e-mail. a Google initiative. Max Davis-Johnson is the associate vice president for technology development at Arizona State University, which has integrated its e-mail system with the Google application. He said Google approached the school in October "This is one way for Google to give back to education," Iman said. Iman said when a school decided to integrate Gmail into its school e-mail accounts, all student e-mails would be hosted on Google servers, which would save money for schools. He also said no advertisements would appear on student, faculty or staff e-mail accounts. He said that if schools offered e-mail to alumni, advertisements would appear on their accounts. "This is one way for Google to give back to education." MOHSIN IMAN Account Strategist for the Google Applications Education Team 2 0 0 6 and it switched to Gmail t w o w e k s later. "From a support standpoint, we are out of the business of student e-mail." Davis-Johnson said. H e said the switch h a saved the school a lot of money. It no longer has to maintain servers or support staff. He said the Web service Arizona State used before Gmail was three or four years old and that Gmail provides a better service to students. Austin Kelly, Lawrence junior and president of Connect, said his coalition introduced the new initiative because it thought e-mail at the University was a pressing issue and the coalition could make it better. "Everyone wants KU e-mail to be the best it can be." Kelly said. Kelly said his coalition had spoken with administrators at KU Information Technology about the e-mail integration. He said they were willing to work to address student needs, and if that need was Google integration they would consider change. To show student needs, Connect plans to increase membership in the Facebook group about the project and also petition for student support. Bill Myers, spokesperson for KU information services, said that Information Technology had considered Google applications before for integration. He said that when it looked, the Google contract didn't offer everything the University needed. He said the KU Portal allowed e-mail access that at this point Gmail would not be able to handle. "We need an integration that will capture all the needs we have," Mvers said. Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park senior and Connect member, said that this idea is different from a platform. Morgenstern said that a platform is an idea that a coalition promises to fill during its time in office, whereas an initiative is an idea a coalition works on before it is elected to office. Connect will announce another initiative on March 9. Its first initiative was WiKUpedia, a Web site similar to wikipedia.com that focuses on groups and activities at the University.

The five-year-old Iraq conflict already is emerging as a fault line in the general election, with the While most Republicans still back the war, many Independents and Democrats don't.

BUSINESS Baby boomer creates travel Web site for people her age "I happen to be a baby boomer and I felt like the fun side of me wasn't being catered to and marketed to," said Web site founder Liz Dahl, 59, in a phone interview from her office in Louisville. "I was getting ads for medication and hearing aids and no one was appealing to my fun side." LOUISVILLE, Ky., — A new travel Web site has been launched for baby boomers at www.boomeropa.com. So she created Boomeropia as an information site, listing interesting trips and tours in 30 categories, from adventure to pet travel to beaches and bed-and-breakfasts. Other categories include cruises, culinary travel, golf, fishing and "glamping," which means glamorous camping or camping trips where the tour operator does all the hard work for you, with comfortable tents and catered meals. Click on "botanical tours" and you'll read about a trip to Kazakhstan in search of alpine plants; click on "volunteer" for details on an American Hiking Society trip to work in a park in the Chilean Patagonia. There is also a forum section where readers can post photos and share their thoughts.

Chris Dickinson ACADEMY AWARDS ASSOCIATED PRESS Whoopi missing in montage NEW YORK — Whoopi Goldberg seemed sad on "The View" Monday when her fellow co-hosts discussed how she was not included in a montage featuring previous Oscar hosts during the Academy Awards. The 52-year-old Goldberg has received two Oscar nominations, winning for her role as Oda Mae Brown in 1990's "Ghost." She hosted the event in 1994, 1996, 1999 and 2002. She did, however, appear as an Oscar winner in a separate montage Sunday night. Goldberg appeared stumped that the academy would leave her out of the one clip and repeat host Steve Martin. "Maybe they accidentally lost a clip of you hosting ... But I think it's wrong," Ellisabeth Hasselbeck said. Joy Behar said "being slighted is never fun." Sherri Shepherd wondered if Goldberg had made someone mad. "Undoubtedly," Goldberg said, smiling. "Undoubtedly I (bleeped) somebody off yet again. You know what, I don't — I don't know." "Hey, we think you're a great host," reassured Barbara Walters, the creator of the ABC chatfest. THE REAL WOMEN'S MUSEUM ASSSOCIATED PRESS "I think we should do our own montage of you to make up for it," Hasselbeck said. Whoopi Goldberg expressed disappointment for not appearing in the montage of Academy Award hosts, which was shown Sunday.

KANSAI PUBLIC RADIO Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 Today is an 8 Set up your team to win. Make sure they know what needs to be done. Provide constant encouragement; this isn't going to be easy. Gemini (May 21-June 21) You're into the difficult part. Your goal seems impossible. Don't lose faith and toss it out, make it into smaller chunks. Get there one step at a time. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8 You're good at telling the difference between fact and fantasy. You may also find a few superfluous things you could do without. Exercise good judgment. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is an 8 Jointly held finances are a hot topic now.

KU UNIVERSITY THEATRE The University of Kansas STUDENT SENATE KU --- OPINION 7A TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2008 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN GUEST COLUMN America has avoided road to fascism Claims that a two-party political system leans toward fascism not only ignore a plethora of historical examples to the contrary, but they also misunderstand the causes for the rise in extremist political groups. The fascist governments that arose in Germany and Italy during the first half of the 20th century arose despite multi-party democracies. They arose largely because the multi-party governments of that time period could not effectively deal with the crippling economic and social problems plaguing these societies, resulting in people turning toward extremist groups that offered real change and an end to political deadlock. Certainly the rise in extremist groups can hardly be attributed to a single cause, but to suggest that fascism looms ominously on the horizon for the United States requires more evidence than a rant about American politics. To likewise suggest that American political parties lack diversity is to misunderstand what these political parties represent. In the United States, political parties represent coalitions of interests, not a single-minded entity with a dedicated ideology. When the parties are divided on an issue, people complain that partisan politics tear the country apart. When the parties come together on an issue, people complain that they can't tell the difference between the two parties and that we are approaching fascism in America. The problem with American politics isn't political parties. It is American citizens who don't understand the political process and want easy solutions to complex issues, particularly solutions that don't require any more effort than cynical complaining. I suspect that some people don't understand that fascism is a very specific ideology, rather than simply a society in which one political party dominates the political process. The United States has never been a fascist country nor is it leaning toward fascism. To suggest otherwise is little more than angry lashing out and frankly is insulting to the people who were forced to or continue to live under such a system. Just because you can't elect an official who represents your interests perfectly doesn't mean the system is broken or leading toward brutal dictatorship. There are 300 million Americans, all with their own ideas of a perfect world, and most likely no one will be completely satisfied. America's politics seem distant from its people, but you cannot simultaneously complain about government control mechanisms and restrictions on freedom while calling for that government to implement control mechanisms to facilitate the rise of a multi-party political system. Freedom doesn't always mean choice. The very freedom to form political parties, businesses or other organizations sometimes leads to monopolies that restrict choice. Americans need to understand that if they want their choices protected, some freedoms must be restricted. Freedom to engage in an activity means the freedom to suffer the consequences of that activity. For better or for worse, this includes American political parties. Max Rinkel Sincerely, Sincerely, Andrew Stangl. Senior in political science, international studies, French and history 》 FROM THE DRAWING BOARD WELCOME TO NAIROBI So WHAT DO you THINK OF McCAIN'S HEALTH CARE PACKAGE? Andrew Stangl COMMENTARY Groundhog perpetuates winter BEN COHEN I saw something upsetting on the news recently. Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog from Pennsylvania, saw his shadow. That apparently means winter is not going to end for a few more weeks. Isn't that wonderful? Sure, spring seems like it should be getting ready to make an appearance soon, but a pampered marmot stood in the right angle under the sun, so this infuriatingly cold weather is sticking around for a while longer. Too bad Phil does not live in Kansas, where trying to predict the weather without fancy equipment is about as logical as assuming the Wildcats are actually going to live up to their potential in basketball. People are, however, just as annoying as observing every morning as you leave your apartment that it is still really cold out, even though it was supposed to get into the 50s today. That is just the way the weather works in Kansas. If you are not a meteorologist, your guess as to how it is going to feel outside is as good as anyone's. Except for meteorologists. I'm pretty sure there's something they aren't telling us. One of my strangest memories of growing up in a state that claims to be "as big as I think" (on a side note, the state's public relations people really would not be happy with) was the blizzard that occurred when I was in the first grade. What was so strange about this blizzard? It was in the middle of October. Yes, that's right. The people of Topeka got a respite from raking leaves that day so that they could shovel their driveways. It was quite a shock to me then. I was quite a shock to life then. I was too young to understand the concept of unseasonal weather or that the snow would be gone without a trace in time for Halloween. Since that fateful, albeit confusing storm, I've observed every type of weather in this state, from extremely hot Novembers to cold Marches, and occasionally, Mays that provide the showers that then give way to June flowers, apparently because April was lazy and somebody had to pick up the slack for it. I'm starting to think we are due for a plague of locusts sometime soon. It has been clearly established that Kansas weather does not meet any typical definitions of "normal." But why not? Some people may tell you that various storm systems from all over the country tend to cross the Midwest, occasionally mixing and producing big storms and that these systems may very well be strengthened by the effects of global climate change. Unfortunately, we live in Kansas, where science is a scary subject matter, so a different, less feasible explanation must be brought into the discussion. My suggestion is that Kansas is being punished for some random misdeed committed within what would eventually become its borders a few centuries ago. Go ahead. Try and prove that that never happened. We could always do some research, and find out exactly what this state-cursing event was and attempt to set it right, but what would that actually accomplish? I, and many others, have complained about the weather in Kansas, but it does seem to be part of its character. And Kansas needs all the character it can get. It fills the void left by all the space between our few hills. The cold is annoying now, but remember, it could always be worse. Cohen is a Topeka junior in political science and English. And really, what would we actually gain from having normal, seasonal weather? Nobody could build jack-o-lantern/snowman hybrids, nor could they occasionally wear shorts in January.

C --- 2. 4 8A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2008 TRIAL Ex-cop appeals for his life Jury returns to hear Cutts' pleas, consider life or death W. ASSOCIATED PRESS Convicted murderer Bobby Cuts Jr., second from right, stands with his attorneys Myron Watson, left, Caroleyn K. Ranke, second from left, and Fernando Mack at the end a sentencing hearing Monday in Canton, Ohio. A jury will decide if Cuts deserves the death penalty for the murder of Jessie Davis and her unborn child last summer. ASSOCIATED PRESS CANTON, Ohio — A former police officer sobbed and apologized for killing his pregnant lover and their unborn child as he appealed Monday to the jury that convicted him to spare his life. "I accept responsibility," Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, said from the witness stand. Cutts was convicted Feb. 15 of aggravated murder in the death of the nearly full-term fetus and of murder in the death of Jessie Davis, 26. He could receive death, life in prison without parole or life with parole after 20, 25 or 30 years. If the jury recommends death, the judge can reduce it to life, something that has happened just seven times in Ohio in 27 years. Reading from handwritten notes, Cutts said he could not express in words how he felt knowing that he had killed Davis and the unborn girl, who was to be named Chloe. "If I could do anything to bring them back to you, I would," Cutts, sitting at the witness stand just steps from Davis' teary-eyed parents, said. "I pray that you find peace and you some-day find room for forgiveness," he said during his roughly six minutes on the witness stand. He said he never intended to harm Davis or their baby. Two weeks ago, Cutts sobbed on the witness stand as he testified during the trial that he had accidentally killed Davis with an elbow blow to the throat during a disagreement and dumped her body in a park in a panic. Cutts also apologized to his family and to community members who searched nine days for Davis before Cutts finally admitted that he knew where "If I could do anything to bring them back to you, I would." her body BOBBY CUTTS JR. Former police officer was: Under court rules, Cutts could not be questioned by prosecutors after giving his statement. Prosecutor Chryssa Hartnett said Cutts deserves to die for what he did. Cutts' attorney, Myron Watson, said the defense accepted and respected the verdict but asked jurors to listen closely to defense witnesses called to appeal for his life. "Certainly, Mr. Cutt's life is important," Watson said. Cutts' divorced parents, his sister, an ex-wife and a fellow officer testified, describing an upstanding individual who was attentive to his family and children and the residents whose neighborhoods he patrolled in Canton. Prosecutions told the jury that Cutts killed Davis and the unborn baby last June at her Lake Township home to get out of child support payments for a fourth child The couple's two and a half-year-old son Blake, who was found home alone, gave investigators their first clues to his mother's disappearance when he said, "Mommy's crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in the rug," and later, "Daddy's mad." For more than a week, Cutts denied knowledge of her whereabouts as thousands searched in the area. He finally led authorities to the body, wrapped in a comforter. Cutts has resigned from his job.

Larry Dean Martin, curator of paleontology at the Natural History Museum, and David Burnham, dinosaur preparator at the museum, cited a well-preserved Micraptor fossil from China as evidence that flight did not develop on the ground, as many paleontologists believe, but in the trees. That's where two University researchers developed a theory about the bird, called a Micraaptor, that has earned them a spot on an upcoming episode of the PBS show "NOVA." The "NOVA" episode, which airs on channel 11 at 7 p.m. tonight, will explore that and other theories about the Microraptor. The Microraptor, a four-winged dinosaur-like bird, lived during the early Cretaceous period, which spanned between 145 million and 65 million years ago. The animal's hip joints, which Martin said fit the model of an animal that sprawls its legs, would have made it difficult for the Micracaptor to move quickly on the ground. dinosaurs were animals that, moved on only two feet. Despite this, Martin and Burnham said many paleontologists were still wed to the idea that the Microraptor was a terrestrial dinosaur. Martin said that even if the Micracorpa had downward-pointing legs, its feathers would have tripped it and prevented it from gaining enough ground speed to actually fly. Based on the Micraaptor's hip joints and feather position, Martin and Burnham proposed that it was a tree-dwelling animal that flew by gliding from tree to tree. Paleontologists thought that the bird flew by gaining acceleration from running on the ground. In defense of the Micraptor, a reconstruction of the bird's skeleton led Martin and Burnham to the conclusion that the Micraptor's legs pointed outward like wings. He said paleontologists continued to advocate their origin of flight theory at the expense of other evidence "These animals are pretty much going to get eaten if they land on the ground," Martin said. "In nature, simpler is better," Burnham said. "Physics, anometry, the fossil record are all being modified because they are convinced they have the right answer." Burnham said part of the misconception was because of the belief that Martin and Burnham also built a life-sized Micracorator glider. When thrown, the glider moves through the air in a way that supports the treedwelling theory about the nature of the Micracorator. Burnham said that Micraptor theory supported the idea that birds did not evolve from dinosaurs but represent their own evolutionary line. He said several prominent paleontologists, including Bob Bakker, a consultant for "Jurassic Park," also have begun to support their idea. Although the researchers didn't know how much screen time they would get in the "NOVA" special, Burnham said he was optimistic. "Just the fact that we're in it, we win," he said.

The Jayhawks lost by one point. Self attributed the loss to focusing too much on the future. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Everyone seems to have a prescription to cure Kansas' basketball struggles—including the players. "We just have to stay tough-minded," senior guard Russell Robinson said. "Stay focused on the game and do what we need to do to contribute to the team." Senior forward Darnell Jackson thinks the Jayhawk need to get on the same page. "You have to know your role every game," Jackson said. "You cannot come into one game and not know what to do. Everyone has to bring something to the table." Kansas players have solutions, but still some wonder: What is the matter with Kansas? The Jayhawks—once seemingly unbeatable at 20-0—have stumbled to a 4-3 record in their last seven games. The swagger displayed so prominently in every early season blowout seems to have vanished into the Allen Fieldhouse "bhoh" Bill Self said he sees this every year. Topranked college basketball teams always seem to get caught looking ahead to March and the NCAA tournament. If that's the reason for Kansas' shocking 61-60 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday, Kansas coach Bill Self is not happy about it. "It really is a sad commentary if it's occurring with us." Self said. For one, Kansas is aiming for a fourth consecutive regular season title—one that seemed guaranteed a month ago. But after Kansas' loss to Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks find themselves looking up at Texas in the Big 12 standings. The Jayhawks, at 9-3, are one game behind the 10-2 Longhorns. "Right now there are a lot of teams where the regular season doesn't mean much," Self said. "But to us it means a ton. We are playing for an opportunity to win a league championship." "I got a list," Self said. But as Kansas tries to refocus, Self admitted Monday that Kansas' weaknesses have been magnified during the last few weeks. That list includes defensive breakdowns, closing out games and committing turnovers—problems that were on full display against Oklahoma State. "The reason we are not playing near as well right now is strictly intangibles," Self said. "Things that have nothing to do with putting the ball in the basket. It has a lot to do with the mindset of putting the ball in the basket." A prime intangible is confidence and Jackson said the Jayhawks' confidence had lowered. "I think we are still confident, but not at the level where we used to be at the beginning of the season," Jackson said. With their confidence shaken, sophomore Darrell Arthur said he saw only one solution. "We have to go back into the gym and get back to work." Arthur said. Edited by Nick Mangiaracina jayhawks add top recruit Kansas added another commitment to its 2008 recruiting class. Point-guard Tyrone Appleton, who is playing this year at Midland Community College in Midland, Texas, committed to Kansas Monday. Appleton, a 6-foot-3 point guard, chose Kansas over Kentucky and Iowa State.With the addition of Appleton—the third ranked JUCO player in the country-Kansas will now boast a six-person recruiting class for next season—including four high school seniors and two junior college players.

The rule forced teams to wait three extra weeks to play their first games, condensing schools' 56-game schedules into a much tighter time frame of 12 weeks, rather than 15. One of the biggest differences coaches anticipate is greater significance on midweek games. As always, teams must win most midweek games if they hope to reach the NCAA tournament. However, teams will need to play their midweek games as scheduled or risk having to drop them from their schedules. Given three fewer weeks of wiggle room to reschedule rainouts, coaches are keeping their fingers crossed for a dry spring. "Those games are as important as the weekend series are at the end of the season if you're going to win 40 times and get an NCAA tournament berth," Kansas coach Ritch Price said at last week's Kansas Baseball Media Day. Kansas plays its first midweek game Wednesday at Arkansas. Later this season Kansas also plays at Missouri State, at No. 20 Wichita State and at Kauffman Stadium against No. 5 Missouri. Three other times Kansas will play Tuesday-Wednesday midweek series between weekend series. "Basically, there is none." Price said. "If you lose a Tuesday-Wednesday game, your only alternative would be to play that on a Thursday before a conference series and I don't see many people doing that." Given the distance Kansas will have to Further restricting Price's scheduling flexibility is Kansas' 10-day missed class policy. The policy restricts players from missing more than 10 days of class for games and Kansas has already filled the 10-day limit on its schedule. travel for some midweek games and the short time between some weekend and midweek series, few gaps exist to reschedule games in the event of rainstouts. Judging by last week's Big 12 Coaches Teleconference, Price isn't the only Big 12 coach feeling pressed for scheduling freedom. Among others, Baylor coach Steve Smith—who wasn't opposed to the rule change—said scheduling conflicts could have been avoided if the end of the season had been pushed back. Smith said, "The vast majority still support it—that the end of the season would be pushed back a couple of weeks. The NCAA board of directors slammed the door on that immediately and the thing was too far down the legislative pipeline to really go back and reverse track. Nobody ever intended to cram 56 games into the weeks that we've got." Edited by Nick Mangiaracina COMMENTARY The defeat pulled Kansas and its fans one rung down on the Big 12 Conference standings ladder and a step behind Texas in the race for the conference title. Throw in two potentially tough road games at Iowa State and Texas A&M, and for Kansas diehards the rest of the season could be as unpleasant as a trip to the dentist. Jayhawk fans should celebrate Tourney time As days go, Saturday wasn't a great one for Kansas basketball. The Jayhawks slogged through a foul-filled disaster of a loss at Oklahoma State with the deaths of family members of two players tugging at their focus. Don't be too quick to fret: Even if the Jayhawks don't draw a No.1 seed come tourney time, there's plenty to smile about across college basketball. BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Around the nation, there are under-the-adradar teams building their résumés and prepping for NCAA tournament runs. Oral Roberts University, at 15-1 in the Summit League, is a team Kansas might not want to face in late March. Does the name Marchello Vealy ring a bell? Drake captured the Missouri Valley Conference regular season crown on the small shoulders of point guard Adam Emmenecker, a former walk-on. Out on the left coast, Saint Mary's has usurped the title of the West's best midmajor from Gonzaga. On the other side of the country, North Carolina A&T's basketball team isn't very good, but the atmosphere inside the Corbett Sports Center is great - it's known as "the Crunest Gym in America" for a reason. Visit YouTube to find out why How about that Michael Beasley guy? The Kansas State forward isn't held in the highest regard among Kansas fans, and he didn't quite live up to his guarantee of a 50-point showing last week at Nebraska, but he is downright special. In less than a week, Allen Fieldhouse will play host to Beasley, Bill Walker and their motive crew of offensively-challenged teammates. Don't miss this one because Beasley is better than Kevin Durant. There's no better place to find charismatic players, coaches and analysts than college basketball. ESPN's sometimes grating and always over-the-top announcer Dick Vitale is back from throat surgery, and the world is better off with him sitting courtside. Admit it, you missed the guy. It's hard not to love Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl. He's at the helm of the top team in the nation, unafraid to shout, frequently flaits about with rabid enthusiasm during games, has appeared shirttail and painted in public, and looks his best when he's sweating through an orange suit. Pearl is truly all that is man. Need another reason to look forward to Saturday? ESPN is bringing its traveling circus, College GameDay, to Lawrence. Wake up from your Saturday-morning stupor early enough and you can head over to Allen Fieldhouse to hoist hilarious signs behind analysts Rece Davis, Digger Phelps, Jay Bilas and Hubert Davis. Also, Erin Andrews usually works as the courtside reporter for ESPN's game of the week. That seems like ample reason to get to bed early on Friday. Looking past February's finish should make any college basketball fan giddy, if not euphoric. Conference tournaments are on the horizon: the Big East and its oodles of teams at Madison Square Garden, the Missouri Valley under the arch in Saint countdowns 1 Day until conference tournaments begin with the Big South, Horizon and Ohio Valley 23 Days until the NCAA tournament begins 41 4 Days until Kansas vs. Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse Days until the National Championship 1 19 Days until Selection Sunday Next, it's on to Selection Sunday (the best day on the sports calendar) and true March Madness. This year, the tournament gets off to its start during spring break, meaning students won't even have to skip class to take in the opening round action. Even if Kansas finishes its season on a sour note, even if Oral Roberts becomes this year's Bradley or Bucknell, cherish college basketball. Rejoice for the absence of steroid scandals and the lack of bowl-season silliness. Strap yourself in and prepare to savor the next month — it's guaranteed to fly by all too fast.

Lidge said in Clearwater, Fla. "I threw the pitch but it felt like I pulled something in the knee." Philadelphia's biggest offseason addition, the right-hander was acquired from Houston in a November trade and penicilled in as the Phillies' new closer. That allowed them to strengthen their rotation by making Brett Myers a Lidge hurt his surgically repaired right knee Saturday when he caught a spike in the mound on his first pitch of batting practice. The Philadelphia Phillies' new closer limped away after talking with team trainers, and the club hoped to know more about the injury Sunday. Even before the start of spring training games, Brad Lidge and Mark DeRosa left the field with health concerns. "It swelled up a little, but I'm optimistic that I just pulled some scar tissue loose." Lidge said. Doctors removed torn cartilage from the knee in October. "He's completely stable, but better be safe than sorry. With the irregular heartbeat and so forth, they sent him to the hospital to test him and evaluate him. But he's fine." Pinieila said DeRosa had experienced irregular heartbeats before. starter again. "Mark's doing fine," manager Lou Piniella said shortly after practice. "He came in with a rapid heartbeat from doing the things on the field and was having a little trouble breathing, so they called in the medical team. DeRosa, the Chicago Cubs' second baseman, was taken to a hospital with an irregular heartbeat before being released Saturday evening. He began to have a problem while taking grounders, shortstop Ryan Theriot said. DeRosa, who turns 33 on Tuesday, was sitting up on a stretcher as he was wheeled out of the Fitch Park complex around midday. Some of his teammates were still on the field winding up a day of workouts in Mesa, Ariz. "I talked to him. He was a little nervous and outside of that he's OK," Pinii said.

"He was fine through the whole thing. I think it was just one of those deals. He was more scared than anything." The Padres hope the 37-year-old Giles can start playing by the third full week of spring training games. "Everything is going good," Giles said. "I'm going through full workouts. No setbacks so far since the surgery and that is a good sign." "He's getting the reps in the cage and all the fundamental stuff done," manager Bud Black said. "He may not be doing every drill the outfielders do, but he is progressing to a point where he should be in games by the middle of March and that will give him enough game conditions to hopefully be ready by opening day."

Every Tuesday the Kansan will rank Big 12 teams based on last week's performance and the next week's schedule. Last week's ranking is in parentheses. ONE (1) BU No. 8 Baylor 23-3 [11-2] Last week: at Iowa State (W) This week: Colorado, at Texas A&M Baylor went to Hilton Coliseum and came away with a victory, something not many teams have done this season. The Big 12 regular season championship is theirs to claim as long as the Bears take care of business on the road. No. 10 Oklahoma 20-5 [10-3] Last week: at Kansas State (W), Oklahoma State (W) This week: at Texas Tech, Texas TWO (3) Oklahoma is the hottest team in the conference. Last week the Sooners avoided a sweep by in-state rivals while also grabbing a win in Manhattan over a stumbling Wildcat squad. If Oklahoma can keep the streak going, they could end the season as conference champions. T TEN (11) QU Texas Tech 16-11 [4-9] Last week: Kansas (W), Nebraska (W) This week: Oklahoma, at Oklahoma State Teams go to Lubbock and they tend to leave with a loss, but Oklahoma is a different squad from the ones who have lost in southwest Texas. Transfer forward Dominic Seals won her third Big 12 honor of the year, and she will continue to be crucial to the Lady Raiders' chances for victory. ELEVEN (8) KU Two losses to teams from the bottom of the Big Kansas 15-11 [4-9] Last week: at Texas Tech (L), at Missouri (L) This week: Texas, at Iowa State Two losses to teams from the bottom of the Big 12 isn't an encouraging sign as the Jayhawks look to close the season out strong. Kansas is a prime example of how difficult it is to play on the road in the conference as they've lost all seven games away from Lawrence. TWELVE (12) Missouri 8-16 [2-10] Last week: at Nebraska (L), Kansas (W) This week: Iowa State, at Kansas State HOLLANDA WEEKEND The relief on the Tigers' players' faces after beating the Jayhawks Sunday was noticeable. At this point their season is about building confidence to carry into 2008. Guard Alyssa Hollins went off for 22 points in the second half against Kansas. She will have to continue that form to get Missouri a third victory. THREE (4) No. 17 Oklahoma State 21-5 [9-4] Last week: Texas (W), at Oklahoma (L) This week: Texas A&M, Texas Tech Despite the disappointing loss in Norman, the Cowgirls are still one of the Big 12's most dangerous teams. It will be difficult to get wins over Texas A&M and Texas Tech, but playing in Stillwater works to Oklahoma State's advantage. C FOUR(2) No. 21 Kansas State 18-9 [10-3] Last week: Oklahoma (L), at Colorado (L) This week: Nebraska, Missouri Although the loss to Oklahoma wasn't disastrous, losing to Colorado may have ended Kansas State's chances of winning a Big 12 Championship. It's not over for the Wildcats, though, as their remaining schedule is much easier than the other contenders. FIVE (5) ATM Texas A&M just keeps winning, which isn't unsurprising considering the wretched Gary Blair's team. Junior forward/guard Danielle Gant was last weeks Big 12 player of the week and she will have to continue to perform at an all-conference level this week against two tough Big 12 South opponents. No. 20 Texas A&M 19-7 [8-5] Last week: Iowa State (W), at Texas (W) This week: at Oklahoma State, Baylor SIX (6) N The Cornhuskers found out the hard way how difficult it is to win in a backhack. Nebraska is onl Nebraska 18-9 [7-6] Last week: Missouri (W), at Texas Tech (L) This week: at Kansas State, Colorado difficult it is to win in EUBUDK. Nebraska is perilously close to a losing conference record, and if it wants to hold onto a NCAA tournament spot, getting at least one victory this week will be key. SEVEN (6) Iowa State STEAMS Iowa State 16-10 [5-8] Last week: at Texas A&M (L), Baylor (L) This week: at Missouri, Kansas After a nightmare schedule last week, things get substantially easier for the Cyclones this week with matchups against two conference bottom teams. Kansas is a completely different team at home, and Missouri's only two wins are in Columbia so Iowa State will have to play well to emerge unscathed. EIGHT (7) Texas 16-11 [4-9] Last week: at Oklahoma State (L), Texas A&M (L) This week: at Kansas, at Oklahoma A week brand playing in Boulder certainly worked wonders for the Buffaloales. This week's schedule won't be so kind. Colorado will be lucky to pick up a victory in Waco or Lincoln, but stranger things have happened. A week on the road doesn't bode well for the Longhorns. Kansas is no pushover and winning the Red River Shootout in Norman will take the performance of the year for Texas. CUJ NINE (10) A week off and playing in Boulder certainlylv Colorado 15-11 [4-9] Last week: Kansas State (W) This week: at Baylor, at Nebraska Tennessee moves to No.1 in AP poll 》 NCAA BASKETBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS Tennessee surged to the top of The Associated Press college basketball poll for the first time Monday on the strength of its victory over Memphis in a Nos. 1-vs. 2 matchup. The football team at Tennessee has been ranked No.1 during four seasons, including two national titles. The women's basketball program has been a regular atop that poll since 1977, winning seven national championships under coach Pat Summitt. Now it's the men's turn The Volunteers (25-2) were a runaway choice, receiving 69 first-place votes and 1,797 points from the 72-member national media panel after a 66-62 victory at Memphis. Tennessee is the 53rd school to hold the No. 1 ranking since the poll began for the 1948-49 season. Memphis (26-1), which lost for the first time this season when Tennessee ended its 47-game home winning streak, had been ranked No. 1 for the past five weeks, the last three as a unanimous choice. The Tigers were No. 2 and received 1,682 points. "The response has been overwhelming here," Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said Monday. "The game Saturday, there'll always be a lot of talk of where were you when they beat Memphis to become No. 1? It was that kind of event so it will have some staying power, but for us there will be little staying power because we have to go play at Vanderbilt on Tuesday where they have won 17 straight games. "The fact that men's basketball was able to get to this point just brings us in line with the other sports here, men's and women's, like softball and track and field This is the expectation at Tennessee and that you can point to those different sports is why Tennessee is one of the finest athletic programs in the country and this only adds to that." North Carolina (26-2), which was No.1 in the preseason poll and for the first 10 weeks of the regular season, stayed third after wins over North Carolina State and Wake Forest. The Tar Heels received two first-place votes, while UCLA (24-3), which jumped from sixth to fourth after wins over Oregon State and Oregon last week, was No. 1 on one ballot. There was some history made near the bottom of the rankings as well Monday with Kent State (23-5) moving into the 'Top 25 for the first time. The Golden Flashes were No. 23 after their 65-57 victory at Saint Mary's, Calif., on Saturday night. Texas moved up two spots to fifth. Kansas, which lost at Oklahoma State on Saturday, and Duke, which snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over St. John's on Saturday, both dropped two spots to sixth and seventh, respectively. Stanford, Xavier and Wisconsin rounded out the top 10. Georgetown moved up one place to 11th and was followed by Indiana, Louisville, Butler, Connecticut, Purdue, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Michigan State and Drake. The last five ranked teams were Marquette, Washington State, Kent State, Gonzaga and Saint Mary's. Gonzaga (21-6) was the week's other newcomer. The Bulldogs, who were 14th in the preseason poll, returned after a nine-week absence. They have won 12 of their last 15, with the losses coming to Tennessee, Memphis and Saint Mary's. Kent State entered the poll having won nine of 10, the loss coming at Toledo. Two of the Golden Flashes' losses this season were to North Carolina and Xavier. Texas A&M (20-7) dropped out from 23rd, its first time out of the poll this season. The Aggies, ranked as high as No. 9 this season, have lost three straight — Oklahoma State, Texas and Nebraska, the first and last at home. Kansas State (18-8) was ranked for eight weeks this season, including the last four in a row. The Wildcats fell out from 24th, having lost three of four, including losses to Nebraska and Baylor last week. NEED CASH? ee Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

Rockies announce new starting pitcher Jeff Francis gets to open the season ASSOCIATED PRESS TUCSON, Ariz. — The timing of the announcement was the only surprise. PARKS Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, who usually keeps players guessing until mid-March, pulled left-hander Jeff Francis aside before Monday's workout and informed him he'd get the opening day start March 31 at St. Louis. "What else do we need to go through this spring before we decide to give Jeff the ball? He doesn't need to compete. Without a doubt, for everybody internally that I talked to, he's our guy," Hurdle said. "Basically, from the second half of the season all the way through the playoffs he was our No. 1 guv." The 27-year-old Canadian went 17-9 with a 4.22 ERA last year and then went 2-1 in the playoffs. "It just the next proper step for him." Hurdle said. "He's earned this opportunity. I really felt good about giving him this opportunity. It's another first for him and he's just very deserving." Francis said he was surprised when Hurdle informed him of his decision 48 hours before the team's first exhibition game. "I really felt good about giving him this opportunity. It's another first for him and he's just very deserving." 4. 68 ERA in four major league seasons, called it a great honor but insisted it wouldn't go to his head. Hurdle said the usually even-keeled Francis was excited by the news. "As I've said before, he's more like a lava lamp, but this had some significant meaning to him," Hurdle said. Francis, who is 47-34 with a "He totally deserves it. It couldn't happen to a better guy," Cook said. "And I told him I "When your career is over, you think back and you can say you were the opening-day starter," Francis told The Associated Press. "But we're trying to do greater things. And once the season gets going, it's just one guy going out there every fifth day." "I guess it's nice to get it out of the way, there's not going to be speculation, you guys aren't going to be speculating for the whole month," Francis said. "So, it's nice to know." Last spring, Francis narrowly lost out on the first-day start to right-hander Aaron Cook, who said last week he was anticipating Francis getting the nod this time. CLINT HURDLE Rockies manager Cook said he was thrilled for Francis, who matched the club's single-season record for wins in '07. "He gave me a big hug, the same way I did for him last year," Francis said. "That's the way we work together. Whoever wants to be labeled the ace, we really don't look at it that way." look forward to sitting and watching that first game instead of having to pitch it. I think he's really excited. One of your goals as a starting pitcher is to finally work your way up to get the opening-day start. It's just awesome. I know how it feels." Francis is scheduled to pitch two innings Wednesday when he starts the Rockies' spring training opener against the Chicago White Sox. "It'll be nice." Francis said "You can only throw so many bullpens until it gets old." BUY NOW AND SAVE! ORDER EARLY-BIRD TICKETS BY FRIDAY FEBRUARY 15 www.wakarusa.com THE ULTIMATE MUSIC AND CAMPING EXPERIENCE!

He won every major champion He won every ship he played in 1953, and every official tournament he entered except for the Seminole Pro- Am Invitational, where he tied for second. Then again, Hogan only played six times that year because of battered legs from a bus accident. "You can only own this game for a certain period of time. Even if your name is Tiger Woods, you don't own it forever." Tiger Woods will play no more than 17 events on the PGA Tour this year, so a 2-0 start might be a little early for anyone to get excited. Even so, expectations were as high as the desert sun at noon when Woods left Arizona with yet another victory. It was his fourth in a row on tour since early September, all done in record fashion. nine times, including three straight majors, in 2000 and that he won six consecutive PGA Tour events at the end of 2006, a streak that reached seven until losing in the Match Play the following year. HAL SUTTON PGA Golfer He set a 72-hole scoring record at Cog Hill outside Chicago and won by eight shots at the Tour Championship and the Buick Invitational, both record margins. On Sunday, he smoked Stewart Cink eight and seven in the Accenture Match Play Championship, the biggest blowout in the finals in 10 years of a tournament that Woods considers the toughest to win this side of a major. THE CUP "I think this certainly is the best stretch I've every played," Woods said. Strong words — downright scary considering that Woods won Woods, who also won in Dubai earlier this month, has never before started a season with three straight victories, and it is hard not to speculate how long he can keep winning given his history at some of the tournaments coming up. Tiger Woods holds the Walter Hagen Cup as fans cheer in the background following his victory over Stewart Cink in the Accenture Match Play Championship golf tournament in Marana, Ariz., Sunday. The tournament brought Woods his 63rd career tour victory. Next is the Arnold Palmer Invitational March 13-16 at Bay Hill, where Woods won four straight times from 2000 to 2003. The week after that is the CA Championship at Doral, where he has won the last three years tory and his 15th title in the World Golf Championships. "If you don't believe you can win an event, don't show up." Then the Masters April 10-13. But it also is his intent to make every putt and hit every shot just how he wants. No one does that, of course. No one wins every tournament. Byron Nelson holds the record with 11 straight victories during a year in which he won 18 times in 30 events. That means he lost 12 times that year. "He just morphs his game into the courses," Cink said.

In what is believed to be the first international appearance for a sporting team from Kosovo since it declared independence, the former Serbian province's paddlers took the floor Monday at the 2008 World Team Table Tennis Championships in southern China. The team's participation conjured up reminders of 1971, when American table tennis players visited China and paved the way for normalization of reen- nations, launching the phrase "p i g p o n g diplomacy" For the competition's organizers, however, it's just part of the game.

"So for ITTF, for the other teams in table tennis, it's not an event that Kosovo is playing table tennis in Guangzhou," Gueriau said, pointing out that it was the fourth world championship appearance for the team. Politics aside, Kosovo wasn't expected to make much of a splash: The men's team is ranked No. 114 in the world, behind Nepal, while the women are marginally better, ranked No. 112 behind Costa Rica. Members of the Kosovo team could not be reached for comment. The delegation was small and did not include an official who could handle interview requests. Gueriau said the team rarely attracts much media attention. But it was accepted as an International Table Tennis Federation member in 2003. The Kosovo squad consisted of just six players — three men and three women — according to rosters posted on the tournament Web site. In Monday play, the men were shut out by Yemen while the women defeated Iceland 3-1. The tournament also features a team from Serbia, which has refused to give up Kosovo. Serbs view Kosovo as the cradle of their culture and of their Orthodox Christian faith. "Of course, everybody respects all the teams, but they are not one of the top teams," he said. 7 Houston maintains winning streak NBA ASSOCIATED PRESS Tracy McGrady and his healthy left knee have made the Houston Rockets nearly unbeatable for nearly a month. McGrady had 24 points and eight assists as the Rockets extended their winning streak to 12 games with a 110-97 win over the Chicago Bulls Sunday night. "With Tracy healthy and playing well, they are a tough team to stop," Bulls coach Jim Bovlan said. They were ahead by seven early in the fourth quarter before Bobby Jackson scored five straight points for Houston, capped by a off-balance layup and a free throw followed to make it 84-74. The Rockets were 7-4 when McGrady missed 11 games with a bone bruise, strained tendon and patellar tendinitis in his left knee between Dec. 28 and Jan. 15. Since his return, Houston is 16-1 and improved to 36-20 after a 20-19 start. Their only loss since McGrady's return was Jan. 27, when they fell 97-8 against Utah.

The 88 Generation Students group, which was instrumental in last year's pro-democracy demonstrations in Myanmar, urged "citizens around the world ... to boycott the 2008 Beijing Olympics in response to China's bankrolling of the military junta that rules our country of Burma with guns and threats." Myanmar is also known as Burma. The 88 Generation Students joined a growing group of critics urging an Olympic boycott over complaints ranging from Beijing's human rights record to its failure to more actively press Sudan — where China is a major oil buyer — to end "Our constructive outreach to China has been met with silence and more weapons shipments," the group said in a statement. A Myanmar government spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment. violence in the Darfur region. The 88 Generation Students accused China — one of Myanmar's key trading partners — of arming their country's junta and failing to facilitate a meaningful dialogue between it and detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy party.

In September the junta crushed peaceful protests that were triggered by rising food prices but expanded to include demands for democratic reforms. The U.N. estimates the crackdown killed at least 31 people, and thousands more were detained. The juntas domestic and international critics, however, say the plans are undemocratic because they do not involve open debate and bar Sun Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, from taking part in the elections. < During a visit to Singapore on Monday, U.N. special envoy for Myanmar Ibrahim Gambari and Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo hailed the planned referendum and election. 2 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY FEBRUARY 26 2008 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2008 SPORTS BIG 12 BASKETBALL 5B Longhorns beat Wildcats in Manhattan ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — D.J. Augustin had 24 points and A.J. Abrams scored all of his 13 in the second half, helping No. 5 Texas beat Kansas State 74- 65 on Monday night, the Longhorns' eight straight win. Texas (24-4, 11-2 Big 12) didn't get much production outside of its two speedy guards, but the Longhorns put the squeeze on Kansas State with ASSOCIATED PRESS AATLEY 32 their stingy defense and improved to 8-0 in February to match a school record set in 1962-63. Kansas State forward Michael Beasley, right, shoots over Texas forward Connor Ackley (32) during the second half of the game in Manhattan Monday night. Beasley scored 30 points in the game. Texas beat Kansas State 74-65. The Longhorns need one win in their final three games to match the school record of 25 regular-season wins, set two seasons ago. Kansas State (18-9, 8-5) got another big night from freshman Michael Beasley — 30 points and 15 rebounds — but had trouble solving Texas' aggressive zone and lost its third straight. The Wildcats shot 32 percent and got almost nothing from second-leading scorer Bill Walker to see their 10-game home winning streak end. Augustin gave Kansas State all kinds of problems at the other end. The 6-foot sophomore seemed to get where he wanted whenever he wanted, dribbling around the perimeter, poking and prodding Kansas State's defense to open up threepointers and drives to the basket. Augustin had 12 points by half-time and helped Texas to a 57-50 lead midway through the second half, scoring on a floater then a three-point play after snatching the ball from the hands of Kansas State guard Fred Brown. Abrams, coming off a season- low five points against Oklahoma on Saturday, wasn't much of a factor early, taking just two shots in the first half, missing both. He didn't score until hitting a three-pointer from the corner five minutes into the second half, but that shot seemed to boost his confidence. Abrams suddenly became more aggressive, hitting two more three-pointers in the next two minutes, then another that put the Longhorns up 62-54 with just under five minutes left. Abrams finished 4-of-9 from the field after going 4-for-20 with 14 points the previous two games combined. Kansas State missed 12 of its first 16 shots overall and its first eight three-point attempts. Somehow, the Wildcats scratched out a 30-all tie at halftime — thanks to Beasley. Aggressive from the start, the 6-10 freshman made quick moves instead of waiting for the defense to collapse around him. He had Texas big men Connor Atchley and Gary Johnson in foul trouble in the first 10 minutes, and had a double-double by halftime with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Beasley finished 10-for-21 from the field after scoring a Big-12 record 44 points in a 92-86 loss to Baylor on Saturday. EXAS 14 Texas guard D.J.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB ANGELS Bonds remains teamless while other players find new homes ASSOCIATED DRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Former Los Angeles Angels pitcher Bartolo Colon is already off the market and is a new member of the Boston Red Sox. The former AL Cy Young Award winner agreed Monday to a minor league contract with the Red Sox, while the home run king, Barry Bonds, is still looking to be signed. Barry Bonds is looking for a job, and the Tampa Bay Rays may be interested in the home run king. Bartolo Colon is off the market after the Boston Red Sox snapped up the former AL Cy Young Award winner with a shrewd minor league deal. Rays manager Joe Maddon said he knew "little" about what was going on, but acknowledged some thought has been given to adding Bonds to the roster. "A minor discussion was thrown out there a little bit, and it's really not gone any further than that," Maddon said after Monday's workout at the team's spring training facility in St. Petersburg, Fla. "That's all it is right now." ager John Mozeliak. Bonds, who broke Hank Aaron's career home run record last summer, has pleaded not guilty to perjury and obstruction of justice charges stemming from testimony to a federal grand jury in 2003 in which he said he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs. The St. Petersburg Times reported in Monday's edition that team officials have conferred among themselves about Bonds and other veteran unsigned free agents, such as Kenny Lofton and Mike Piazza. Andrew Friedman, Rays vice president of baseball operations, called the report a "non-story." Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said he had interest in signing Bonds the last two offseasons, but each time the team's front office decided against it. La Russa, who was looking for a power bat to protect No. 3 hitter Albert Pujols each year, said he was told the asking price for the slugger was too high. This winter, La Russa said he dropped the issue after a discussion with new general man- "It became moot as soon as I raised it and they said no," La Russa said Sunday in Jupiter, Fla. "Once it became apparent what the price tag was, I said we just can't, it doesn't make sense for our club." Boston came up with a move that made a lot of sense, adding Colon to its spring training camp in Fort Myers, Fla., with a minor league contract. "He's going to show up here in camp and we'll do an evaluation of how far he is away from helping us," general manager Theo Epstein said. "It takes more than five starting pitchers to get through a season. Obviously, he's an accomplished guy and if we can get him back to a point where he's throwing well, he can certainly help us." The 34-year-old Colon, who last pitched on Feb. 6 in the Caribbean World Series, is expected to arrive in camp Tuesday. The team's medical staff will evaluate the two-time All-Star, who has gone 7-13 with a 5.72 ERA while slowed by shoulder and elbow injuries the past two seasons. He went 6-8 with a 6.34 ERA in the final year of a four-year, $51 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels last season. If he is added to the Red Sox 40-man roster, he would get a $1.2 million, one-year contract and have the chance to earn performance and roster bonuses. Epstein said Red Sox scouts came back with "decent" reports from Colon's performance in the Caribbean Series, where the burly right-hander's fastball reached the low 90s mph after elbow inflammation kept him off the Angels' playoff roster in the fall. At Surprise, Ariz., Rangers righthander Kevin Millwood wasn't feeling very good. He was scratched from his first spring start because of a right hamstring injury. MLB K.C.'s second season closer throws opponents a curve ASSOCIATED PRESS This year, he is in camp as the established closer after saving a team-leading 17 games last season — more than any other rookie. Soria came into the Kansas City Royals camp last year as an anonymous Rule 5 draft pick who had never pitched above Class A in the United States. SURPRISE, Ariz. — Joakim Soria has gone from unknown to renown in a year. While closer Octavio Dotel was on the disabled list most of April and May, Soria logged 10 saves. When Dotel was traded to the Atlanta Braves on July 31, Soria went back to finishing games and got seven more saves in the final two months. "It was a big year for me last year," Soria said. "I had to prove myself." "I don't throw that gas," Soria said. "But I have the confidence. I believe in myself." Soria is not the typical closer with a 95 mph fastball. Manager Trey Hillman also believes in Soria, who throws a fastball, curveball, slider and change-up. Royals scout Louie Medina found Soria pitching in the Mexican Winter League after the 2006 season. He recommended the Royals select him the Rule 5 draft when the San Diego Padres left him off their 40-man big league roster. Two days after the Royals picked him, Soria threw a perfect game for Obregon against Hermosillo. "He's got multi-weapons to be able to attack the hitters," Hillman said. "He's not afraid to throw to contact. He has just enough life on the fastball and deceptiveness to the delivery that it plays out faster than it actually is on the radar gun. ... When you put all those things together, it makes it very difficult to continue to get good swings off of him." "He handled spring training very well last year." Royals pitching coach Bob McClure said. "He had command. He had aptitude. But I didn't know where he would fit in. He's more like the Todd Jones type (of closer). He has the aptitude, good stuff and command." "He pitched his way on the team. Given a full season as the closer, Soria could log 35 to 40 saves. "Would it surprise me, no" McClure said. "All I know is the job he did last year was enough for us to "I know about the bullpen," Soria said. "I've started, but I've been a closer before, too. I like being in tight games and getting a save." Soria, a 23-year-old right-hander, logged 15 saves for the Mexico City Red Devils in 2006. say, let's do it again."

"I felt like I was in really good shape and then something like this happens." The 33-year-old injured the hamstring in the final conditioning drill Sunday. He was scheduled to pitch two innings Friday against the Angels. Millwood had a career-worst 5.16 ERA last season, and endured two stints on the disabled list with a left hamstring injury. Texas manager Ron Washington sees no reason to rush Millwood back. "When it's a hamstring you never know," he said. Phillies closer Brad Lidge is expected to miss three to six weeks after having surgery Monday on his right knee. The 31-year-old right-hander, Philadelphia's biggest offseason acquisition, caught a spike in the mound on his first pitch of batting practice Saturday. Doctors removed torn cartilage from the same knee in October. Cubs second baseman Mark DeRosa traveled to Chicago to see a cardiologist after being hospitalized for a rapid heartbeat during fielding drills over the weekend. The Cubs said DeRosa's irregular heartbeat was not life-threatening. DeRosa said he hoped he could be back on the field next week. "I feel fine, actually," said DeRosa, who turns 33 today. DeRosa said he has experienced an irregular heartbeat, or atrial dysrhythmia, since he was a teenager. At Kissimmee, Fla., Roger Clemens' oldest son said his father will work with minor leaguers at Houston Astros spring training, but didn't say when he would arrive. "He'll be down here eventually" said Koby Clemens, a catcher in the Astros' farm system. The Rocket has a personal services contract with the Astros, similar to those offered to the Astro Bagwell and Craig Biggio, that kicks in when he officially retires. The Astros have said Clemens is still welcome despite the steroid controversy surrounding him. "He was always coming down here," Koby said. "No matter what happens, he's always going to want to help out with anything he can do. He'll come down here and throw 700 pitches eventually." At Tucson, Ariz., Rockies manager Clint Hurdle pulled left-hander Jeff Francis aside before a workout and informed him he'd get the opening-day start March 31 at St. Louis.

Now, teams are fighting for their chance to play in Allen Fieldhouse for the championship game. The games are getting tougher and the opponents are getting fiercer. NHL Monday night at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, the game was already competitive as Pskills and Law Dogs tipped off. Members of each team represented graduate students from the School of Pharmacy and the School of Law. Throughout the game, neither team had a "We need to attack the basket and rebound." large lead before the other team rebounded to make the score neck-in-neck. Even a threepoint shot that was released one second too late by Law Dogs couldn't help. Pskills won the game by one point in a 47-46 victory. Both teams played with aggression and guarded their opponents well, which kept each team on its toes throughout the game. Finding an opening near the basket, Adam Engel, Salina graduate student, dribbled the ball for the first two points of the game. Law Dogs tried to respond with a quick layup to the basket, but the ball whirled around the rim falling into a Pskills player's hands. Pskills passed the ball down low and searched for openings near the net. AARON STEELE Scott City Graduate Student Luke Wohlford, Wichita graduate student, pushed his way through a Pskills player for two points. Law Dogs continued to play assertively as Bradley Serafine, Salt Lake City graduate student, drove down the lane, jumped above his opponent and guided the ball into the basket for two points. In the first half, Michael H ans f o r d, Topeka graduate student, had three fouls, which sent him to the bench for awhile. Although each team had chances for foul shots, neither team made both shots the entire night. A bloody forehead and blood on the court postponed the game for a few minutes, letting each team talk about things to fix before the half ended. With another quick break before the second half, both teams devised plans and scoring techniques. Law Dogs looked up at the scoreboard, which read 24-20 in Pskills favor, and motivated each other for a better half. Both teams had strong defenses but some sloppy passing caused turnovers in the second half. Still, Pskills rebounded the ball after foul shots and used the backboard for easy points. Law Dogs were quick to catch up and wasted no time to tie the game at 26 just four minutes into the new half. Fast breaks and quick feet made it easy for Brett Stoecklin, Ness City graduate student, to steal the ball away from Law Dogs. With less than 30 seconds left in the game, Aaron Steele, Scott City graduate student, hit a solid three-point shot from the right wing gaining the lead. With only 13.4 seconds left, Beau Jackson, Wichita graduate student and Law Dogs player, received his first foul of the game giving possession of the ball to Pskills. Law Dogs player Brett Sweeney, Wichita graduate student, scored 18 points during the game but couldn't pull out the victory. Pskills advances to the next round on March 2 to play Team Awesome. Pskills already knows what it must fix to move closer to the title. "We need to attack the basket and rebound," Steele said. 4 Edited by Katherine Loeck Topeka graduate student and member of Pskills, Michael Hansford , puts up a shot over Brett Sweeney, Wichita graduate student.

'03 MVP to finish season in Colorado ASSOCIATED PRESS They decided the gamble was worth taking. DENVER — The Colorado Avalanche knew that Peter Forsberg and his balky right foot came with risks. The Avalanche and Forsberg agreed Monday on a deal to bring the NHLs 2003 MVP back to Colorado through the end of the season. Forsberg will earn around $1 million prorated from a one-year, $5 million deal, since there are about six weeks left in the regular season. "He's a premier player in this league," Avalanche general manager Francois Giguere said in a conference call. "We're very excited Peter agreed to come back." Forsberg won two Stanley Cups in his nine seasons with the Avalanche and won the Hart Trophy in 2003 after scoring 29 goals and adding 77 assists. "I feel good," Forsberg said. "I'm confident that it's going to be good." NASCAR Carl Edwards brings home his eighth Sprint Cup victory, his first in Fontana TISSOT AUTO 99 ASSOCIATED PRESS FONTANA, Calif., — For Carl Edwards, it's a signal. At least one NASCAR Sprint Cup team is ready to take on Hendrick Motorsports. Edwards won the rain-delayed Auto Club 500 on Monday, finishing ahead of Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon. In a race that resumed with the 88th of 250 laps, Edwards assumed the lead for good with 13 laps left. Jarrett spun on the final lap. "I hope it's an indication we've caught up with them," Edwards said after the eighth victory of his career. "They still were second and third and they were the guys to beat today. I hope this is a sign we're up to their standards, to their level." Johnson took the green flag for the final restart in the lead with 26 laps left, but Edwards surged from third. He then showed fine form on his traditional victory backflip after capturing the checkered flag in a race that ended under caution when Dale Edwards had it all but wrapped up at that point, driving his Roush Fenway No. 99 Ford to a lead of more than four seconds over Johnson. It was his first victory at Fontana but his seventh top-10 finish in eight starts at the track formerly known as California Speedway. Gordon, who dominated Sunday's rain-interrupted racing, finished third. He was followed by Kyle Busch and Roush's Matt Kenseth, who had won the two previous February races at this track. Another Roush driver, Greg Biffle, won this event in 2005. A year ago, Johnson and Gordon ended 1-2 in the season points. Johnson won his second straight cup title and the team rolled up 18 victories in 36 races. The Hendrick contingent also wone of the 16 races in which NASCAR's new Car of Tomorrow was raced. The CoT is being used for the entire Sprint cup schedule in 2008 and its debut on Auto Club Speedway's two-mile oval was a triumph for Edwards and Roush Frennway Racing. "I know that last year I would not have traded my car in for one of theirs at any of the CoT races towards the end of the year," Edwards said. "I thought we had the best car. Everyone knows, all the drivers know for sure, it's what you're sitting in a lot of the times that makes a tiny little difference and I'm proud to be driving this car." Team co-owner Jack Roush dragged his feet testing the bigger, boxier CoT a year ago. But Roush said that changed last May when he realized other teams were getting too far ahead. He said his team made "a Herculean effort" from that point on to develop the CoT. On Monday, Edwards went into the final round of pit stops under caution on lap 212 while leading. He came out behind Johnson, Gordon and Roush Fenway teammate Jamie McMurray.

Gordon's engine blew seconds before the last of 12 caution flags in the race froze the field. "Carl Edwards was in another league," Gordon said. "We've got some work to do to catch those guys." Gordon, a four-time cup champion, and Johnson got off to a tough start last week at Daytona, finishing 39th and 27th, respectively. "It's a good rebound from Daytona and we'll roll on," Johnson said. "I was too loose off the corners to do anything with Carl." "Maybe another practice session would have helped," Johnson added, referring to all the track time lost to rain Friday and Saturday. "I think it would have helped the whole field." About 25,000 fans, far short of the approximate 120,000 capacity, were on hand Monday, with the sun peeking out from high clouds and temperatures moving into the high 60s. The drivers spent most of Sunday waiting through rain, track drying and attempts to stop water seeping through seams of the track. The race finally began about two and a half hours late, followed by a rain delay of just more than an hour and then a five-hour wait after a downpour. NASCAR and track officials finally gave up after 11 p.m. and postponed the conclusion until Monday. 2.27.08 WEDNESDAY 7pm vs. TEXAS KANSAS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL STUDENTS ADMITTED FREE WITH KU ID SINGLE GAME TICKETS: ADULTS $6 YOUTH $4 800-34-HAWKS KUATHLETICS.COM KANSAS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 1943 THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN REED SIBLINGS SHARE LOVE FOR GAME, FAMILY >> PAGE 1B MEN SET TO BATTLE IOWA STATE >> PAGE 6B WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2008 WWW.KANSAN.COM MEN SET TO BATTLE IOWA STATE >> PAGE 6B THE HANDBOOK OF VOLLEYBALL CAMPUS Students gain perspective from volunteer FULL STORY PAGE 6A Michael Barringer-Mills didn't pursue his interest in humanitarian work until seven years after graduating from the University of Kansas.

The Regents next meeting is March 12 and 13. 2 Proposed end of finals 3 9 10 16 End of finals 2008 17 Student Body President Hannah Love plans to send a proposal to the Board of Regents that could shorten future semesters at the University of Kansas by two weeks. Love said that she thought academics were important, but that students who worked during the summer to pay for tuition would benefit from having a shorter school year. She also said a shorter school year would make students more competitive for internships. Bryan Marvin/KANSAN The Regents require universities to hold school for 150 days each year. Love, members of University and Faculty Senate, and other students said they would like to see the policy based on the number of hours or minutes students spend in each class. The University would not only have to convince the Regents the policy should be changed, it would also have to convince the other state universities as well. Eric Foss, Overland Park law student and a member of Student Senate and University Senate, said the University's school year was a week longer than that of other schools in the Big 12 and many schools in the nation. Foss said such a change would throw the schedule off because most classes would not be able to start every hour on the hour, but that he thought the University Registrar could plan classes around the new schedule just as easily as it planned the current schedule. He said if classes at the University were five minutes longer, students would be attending class for, overall, the same amount of time they were now, but with a shorter semester. He also said he did not think most students would care if they had to spend five more minutes in class, but that they would appreciate having a shorter semester. “When I was an undergirl, I was burnt by out how long the semester was.” Freed said. Brittany Cohoon, Overland Park freshman, said she wished she could spend five more minutes in her math class each class period. She said it was difficult for teachers to complete their lessons in 50 minutes and that a longer class period would give students more time to complete tests. Rick Levy, a law professor and the president of Faculty Senate, said faculty members supported the policy change as well, but he did not think the Regents would consider the change unless students initiated it. Cohoon said she would also be interested in seeing the University lengthen spring break. She said it would give out-of-state students more time to visit their families. She also said that the issue was of special importance this year because Easter would be during spring break. "If the faculty or the administration pushes this at the Regents level, it appears to be selfserving because it looks like we want to work "And I wouldn't object to going home two weeks early," Cohoon said. less," Levy said. In addition, Levy stressed that the other state universities would have to support the policy change for the Regents to consider it. "If KU tries this as just a KU initiative, it will fall," Levy said. Love said she first discussed the policy change with the other student body presidents from Kansas universities last fall. She said the general response from the presidents and their universities was negative. But, Love said she still thought the issue was important and that she would encourage Kansas State's student body president, Matt Wagner, to support the initiative during their trip to Washington, D.C., for "Day on the Hill," which takes place March 10 and 11. Foss said if Love could convince the student leaders of the state's other universities to support the policy this spring, the policy could be changed during the summer. But Because of this trip, Love will not be able to attend the Regents meeting next month, but she said she would send representatives. Board of Regents The Board of Regents is in charge of six state universities as well as one municipal university Those universities are: Fort Hayes State >> Kansas State, including KSU at Saline Pittsburg State Kansas and KU Medical Center Wichita State Washburn (municipal) he said the schedule change could not be implemented until the fall of 2009 because the Registrar has already begun creating the class timetable for the next school year. 1吨 Edited by Patrick De Oliveira - 2A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY.

DEBATE Clinton, Obama highlight differences DEBATE CLEVELAND — Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama clashed over NAFTA, health care and the war in Iraq Tuesday night in a crackling debate at close quarters one week before a pivotal group of primaries. Charges of negative campaign tactics were high on the program, too. Responding quickly, Obama countered that former first lady had consistently claimed his plan "would leave 15 million people out ... I dispute that. I think it is inaccurate," he said. "Senator Obama has consistently said I would force people to have health care whether they can afford it or not," said Clinton, insisting it was not true Clinton also said as far as she knew her campaign had nothing to do with circulating a photograph of Obama wearing a white turban and a wrap-around white robe presented to him by elders in Wajir, in Kenya. The two rivals, the only survivors of a grueling primary season, sat about a foot apart at a table on stage at Cleveland State University. "I take Senator Clinton at her word that she knew nothing about the photo," Obama said. The race was far different in April 2007, Clinton the front-runner by far. Now Obama holds that place, in terms of both contests and delegates won. The two rivals also debated NAFTA, the free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico that is wildly unpopular with blue-collar workers whose votes are critical in any Democratic primary in Ohio. Neither one said he or she was ready to withdraw from the agreement, although both said they would use the threat of withdrawal to pressure Mexico to make changes. On the war, both candidates denounced President Bush's record on Iraq, then restated long-held disagreements over which of them was more opposed. Associated Press think?

President Bush speaks during the 2008 Republican Governors Association gala on Monday in Washington. Bush said he was sure a Republican would replace him in the Oval Office. "I'm confident we'll hold the White House in 2008," Bush told donors at the Republican Governors Association annual dinner, which raised a record $10.6 million for GOP gubernatorial candidates. Bush has promised to be an active fundraiser, and had no trouble slipping into enthusiastic campaign mode Monday evening. He said Republicans still offered the bedrock positions that voters embraced: strong defense, low taxes and personal freedoms. "When I say I'm confident, I am so because I understand the mentality of the American people," Bush said. "There's no question in my mind, with your help, 2008 is going to be a great year." Democratic governors have a 28-22 edge nationally, having regained a majority in 2006 after 12 years of GOP dominance. Eleven seats are up this year. Democrats took control of the House and Senate in 2006. Republican governors, as chief executives and effective fundraisers, see themselves as the key to turning around their party. CRIME Change of venue sought in trial Sect leader to face charges as an accomplice to rape BY AMANDA LEE MYERS ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs was handed over to Arizona authorities Tuesday to face charges alleging he arranged the marriages of two teenage girls to older men. Deputies from the Mohave County Sheriff's Office took custody of Jeffs from Utah officials, sheriff's spokeswoman Trish Carter said. Jeffs, 52, the former leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is scheduled to appear in court to enter a plea Wednesday in Kingman, Ariz. He is charged as an accomplice with four counts of incest and four counts of sexual contact with a minor in an indictment. Defense attorney Mike Piccarrre plans to ask the judge for a change of venue, saying Kingman is too close to St. George, Utah, the site of Jeffs' first trial, for him to get a fair trial here. "If people want to give Mr. Jeffs a fair trial, we have to hold it in an area as far away as practical from the other case in Utah," he said. Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith said the trial, which will be months from now, should be held in Mohave County because that's where the alleged crimes occurred. Jeffs was arrested in August 2006 in Nevada and was convicted last year in Utah of rape as an accomplice in the arranged marriage of a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old cousin. The mainstream Mormon church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, renounced polygamy more than a century ago. funded by: SENATE JEWELS February 27, 2008 THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS LAWRENCE KANSAS HITTING THE BRICKS TO STOP AIDS GRAPE AIDS WALK 2008 Start and End at Maceli's, 1031 New Hampshire.

Last week, lecturer Nancy Holcroft was forced to assign 100 percent grades to every student taking a test in her Biology 100 class after the clicker system being used to administer the test failed to record the answers students were sending in. In this case it appears a problem arose with the lecturer's computer, though neither the company nor the University has identified a specific cause, eight school days after the incident. Susan M. Zvacek, director of Instructional Development & Support, said that the clicker system is usually very reliable and her department had never before run into a problem such as last Monday's. Although the system is mainly used for small quizzes, attendance or class interaction, IDS does not recommend using the system for "high-stakes testing situations." It appears technology will continue to be integrated even more tightly into the class experience, but this raises a question: Is this integration necessarily positive or reliable? eInstruction president Steve Kaye visited the campus Tuesday, meeting with professors and IT staff and finally assembling a company task force to investigate the problem. He assured that the University would be updated within 24 to 48 hours, though he offered no specific details as to the cause of the problem. The greatest concern that has emerged is that the clicker system is too complex to be technically supported on campus, forcing the University to rely on a third-party company. It is positive that the company has taken steps to resolve these problems and communicated with University officials. These good intentions still have not moved the University any closer to resolving the issue, and if professors are going to rely on this system to administer tests or other high-stakes usages, more high-level technical support needs to be available on campus. Technology like the CPS clicker system provides some obvious benefits over traditional class interaction and test making methods, especially in large classes. It facilitates direct anonymous response to questions a professor might want to ask, and allows this information to be displayed instantly. But convenience aside, the real question appears to be whether these platforms are ready for a test-taking environment, where time and grades are critical. Judging by the information available in researching the clicker system, it is not — at least in it's current form. Scantron surely has it's share of issues as well, but the real issue is that as technology allows more advanced functions, it becomes more complex and therefore less reliable. Malfunctions with student or teacher hardware could cause a delay, forcing a reschedule or even a loss of all information, as happened last week. Kaye said his company does thorough quality assurance testing on all its products and that a combination of unforeseen circumstances had converged to cause this problem. There are hundreds of different types of computers in use today, thousands of peripherals, countless configuration options and two major operating systems with five or more versions in use and all of this could cause problems. Basically, the clicker system has to be more complex in order to do what it does best and this is where unreliability comes from. Currently then, the clicker system is thus inappropriate for testing situations. This is not to say that one day in the future this will not be possible. It will simply require more robust measures to address the complexity of the technology. According to Zaveck and Kaye, new training measures and software changes will be integrated to improve reliability. The clicker system relies on complex technologies to offer what it does, meaning that in order for someone to fix it he or she will need a technical understanding of the system. Kaye said that el instruction provides a comprehensive training program, but it mainly consists of how to setup a class's roster or connect the equipment. As this circumstance has indicated, the clicker system is far more complex than this. When being used for testing, it is important it have a very high reliability rate. The system is complex and no one is available on campus that can provide high-level support. If it's the University's goal to use the clickers for such important tasks, on-campus support and increased robustness in the clcker software would be required. Alex Doherty for the Editorial Board COMMENTARY Consumer culture: so easy a caveman can do it ROSS STEWART I awaken. I open a new stick of deodorant. The top of the deodorant stick reads, "Go all in!" I'm sorry, but the last place I look for advice is from my deodorant, especially since it is applied to underarms, the butt crack or the torso. It saddens me that people forge their lifestyles from phrases like this one that are created by an advertisers. It is almost to the liking of taking advice from a cracked-out bum. "You don't need no school, all you need is some rocks and some porn. You wanna buy some porn? It'll make you famous." Usually wisdom found in power words or phrases — put together by advertising teams or cracked out bums really isn't all that great of advice. If it were advice that actually made sense, I probably would take it. If the top of my deodorant read, "You won't stink!" I would be like "Wow, that is true. Thank you, deodorant stick." What am I supposed to go all in on anyway? What if going all in led to my untimely death? I'd be angry, yet no one ever know. How sad. I've grown weary watching my peers create mantras inspired by an advertisement's catch phrase. Yes, we all are susceptible to advertising. There are signs everywhere telling us what to wear, drink, eat, smell like, look like, taste like and feel like. I've seen it all. There's a sign for every product. I once saw a coupon for douches. I almost bought them but then remembered that I don't have a vagina. We don't think to be careful not to center our lives on something that has a main goal of taking our money. If taking it to the extreme is what a group of people wants, for it. I can only pray they don't make such a decision based off a Mountain Dew commercial. I implore my peers to research culture, read a damn book (gasp). Don't buy your lifestyle. Find it the way people did before our generation through learning. Understanding your belief systems ultimately forces you to reevaluate them. If consumer culture created your belief system, the only thing that will be revised are the products that clutter your home. I'm going to start taking my deodorant's advice and go all in.

Max Rinkel COMMENTARY Every dog has its day, even if media don't recognize it CORBAN GOBLE You really blew it this time, world-wide media. What you did (or didn't do) is deplorable. Shame on you, Fox News. Pathetic.Current.tv. Not even an inch of print. The Economist? None of these "respected" media giants ran with the most inspiring news story of our generation. This particular story symbolized a defiant victory for the average American, a triumphant fist in the air for our blue-collar, beer-swilling country. I'm referring to the Uno the Beagle's cataclysmic Best-Of- Show performance at this year's Westminster Dog Show, of course. Although the Cubs' Series drought often is exemplified as one of the longest-lasting losing streaks of our era, a beagle hadn't won the nation's top dog show in more than 130 years. Sure, there's been some serious press devoted to the story already, but I chalk that up to the hegemonic power of the American Kennel Club. The last time a beagle won, you couldn't get on the phone to tell your friends because the phone wasn't invented yet. The President? Ulysses S. Grant. The favored mode of transportation? Horse. Imagine if the Chicago Cubs won the World Series this year. The stack of the press clippings would outweigh an average Leon Uris novel. I'd like to take a moment to lambast the media outlets that haven't covered this wonderful story with enough scope, perspective or intelligence. The skeletal glare of the poodles, both Toy and Standard breeds, judgmentally traced Uno's steps. Also, I know this nation of corporate-merger housewives and Miley Cyrus-delifying adolescent girls crave their Britney fixes, and I'll even grant that. When Uno trotted onto that Astroturf, innumerable odds stood between him and this great honor. However, none of this mattered to Uno, who flippantly shed the shackles of beagledom. Also, he bayed at the judge, a clear shoutout to his like-minded beagle homies across our nation. But America witnessed the birth of a great hero that can lead us into our next golden age, a hero that can relate with the masses. He can take I realize there's a war on, and due journalistic diligence should be pointed in that direction. That's fine with me. sprawling leaps at catered steaks one moment and win a giant purple ribbon the next. Is there anything this dog can't do? No. The tide of the future relies on this brown-headed pooch, who, without any need for argument, is the greatest single life form to ever come out of Missouri. Uno received a standing ovation at Madison Square Garden, something that hasn't happened much since Willis Reed reed hung 'em up. How do I know that? This demonstration of arena-wide approval exhibits the magnetism this hound has. Charisma — you can't just wave a doggie biscuit over a wet nose and get charisma. lionize this canine to an extent where we can finally replace the word "lionize" with a superior dog equivalent. "Uno-ize" or creation of the verb "to beagle" are my suggestions. You've probably seen Uno while scanning through most mainstream newspapers, broad-interest magazines and watching the last 10 minutes of your local news. In the future, when I see a hero do something great, I want it to be covered in every conceivable fashion. Until the future comes where we all will have ViTo-like newspapers that filter out the stuff we don't want to read (i.e. any story about Bono), we must rely on the media stream to cover the important issues. I would call this Uno business the quintessential "important" issue. A hound dog, a veritable everyman, came to New York City and clobbered the competition. That's not enough.

He eventually worked in construction in Minnesota, but his dream of helping others wasn't over. As Monday evening, Barringer-Mills spoke to students about his experiences in Doctors Without Borders in his lecture, "Medicins Sans Frontières and Shrinking Humanitarian Space," and discussed the health care situations in developing countries he visited. "We both saw, in him, a very bright, well-informed, questioning and searching sort of person." "I felt I had been working for a few years and was interested in the idea of engaging in a wider world," Barringer-Mills said.

His duties included coordinating supplies for the organization in Sudan, coordinating a vaccination campaign during a meningitis outbreak in northern Nigeria and serving as a 72- bod trauma center director in the midst of urban violence in the Niger Delta in Nigeria. "I think we are in a unique position to get to places where nobody else is," he said. "Frequently we are the only ones around so we are able to make a real, physical and immediate difference in the lives of our patients." Barringer-Mills said that working in such volatile situations could be dangerous, but that Doctors Without Borders relies on impartial treatment and steadfast neutrality to avoid violent conflict among warring factions. Doctors Without Borders workers are unarmed and are not accompanied by guards, he said. Barringer-Mills said one of the most dangerous situations he had experienced was during his time in the Niger Delta when the urban violence surrounding them restrained the organizations ability to exit their compound. "The danger was in traveling," he said. "Nobody can anticipate a stray bullet. We had to stay within the confines of our hospital for four days. Our biggest concern, frankly, was not for our own safety than it was for the ability of our patients to reach us." Barringer-Mills said the demands of working in the field with Doctors Without Borders attracted committed health professionals and humanitarian workers from all over the globe. He said he met his wife while working with the organization. Barringer-Mills is attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota, with plans to return to work with Doctors Without Borders upon graduation. He said that although he had to take breaks from the field to stay motivated, his previous work with Doctors Without Borders and the work that he will do in the future continued to motivate him to help others. "It's work that I really believe matters," he said. "It makes a concrete, real difference in people's lives."

Basketball has run in the Reed family. Lacie played in her younger years until a knee injury took her out of the game and their father, Stacy, coached basketball while Tyrel played in high school. Like brother, like sister A passion for Kansas basketball runs deep for the Reed siblings BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Lacie Reed does her little brother's laundry. Sure, she wants to be a good older sister, but Lacie, Burlington sophomore, isn't exactly doing it for free. Lacie and younger brother Tyrel have a deal. "We trade laundry for food." Tyrel said. Tyrel brings his older sister a mountain of dirty of laundry, and in exchange, he takes his sister out to eat. Older sister washes and younger brother pays. Sometimes it's Subway, sometimes it's Quiznos, or any other sandwich shop they haven't tired of. "Something fast," Tyrel said. When you're Tyrel Reed and you're a freshman guard for the No. 6-ranked college basketball team, you don't have a lot of spare time to enjoy a sit-down lunch with your older sister. Especially when your sister is a sophomore student manager for the team and holds down a schedule almost as busy as yours. It's not hard to tell that Tyrel and Lacie Reed are related. Tyrel, with his 6-foot-3-inch frame, towers above his sister. And you won't mistake Lacie's blonde hair with Tyrel's patch of closely cropped brown hair. But put the two in the same room and people can just tell. "I get the twin thing a lot," Lacie said. "We have a lot of the same mannerisms." Walk into Allen Fieldhouse an hour before a Kansas basketball game, and you can see examples of those mannerisms. Tyrel is the one on the floor in the No.14 jersey, shooting jump shots, and Lacie is the one sitting on the sideline, supervising the game's ball boys. "I do behind-the-scenes type of stuff," Lacie said. But spending time in the gym together is nothing new for the Reed siblings. They've been doing it their whole lives. The ball, the basket, the wood floor — that's just who the Reeds are. It's not that Tyrel and Lacie have trouble remembering their childhoods. That's easy. But ask them about the memories that don't involve a round leather ball and an iron rim, and it gets a little tougher. "I get the twin thing a lot. We have a lot of the same mannerisms." "It seems to always come back to basketball" Tyrel said. School teams practice where their dad, Stacy. coached. Stacy Reed coached at Eureka High School for 14 years and at nearly every practice, Tyrel and Lacie occupied the sideline. Growing up in Eureka, the daily routine was pretty simple. Go to the elementary school where their mother, Debbie, taught; hang out in the gym after school and play basketball; then, head to the Eureka High LACIE REED Men's basketball student manager "You know as a coach that you're not going to have as much home time during the season," Stacy Reed said. "So that time in the gym had to make up for that." Sometimes the Reeds would take a break from watching practice and play one-on-one. "Third and fourth grade it was very competitive, because I was still taller than he was." Lacie said. Tyrel then hit a growth spurt during the fifth grade. "Then it wasn't as fun to play," she said. If there's one place Tyrel pays the price for having his sister as a team manager, it's at practice. His teammates, well, they can't help themselves.

By most accounts, his inclusion in the trade was as much attributable to balancing salaries as it was to the Bulls actually wanting him. His mental lapses and defensive inadequacies had grown to the point that the Cavaliers felt that they had to give him away in a trade. They acquired an increasingly ineffective center who has a terrible contract and can't play offense (Ben Wallace) and a vastly overpaid wing who can shoot and do nothing else (Wally Sczerbiak). Most NBA experts believed Cleveland upgraded at the power forward position simply by getting Chicago to toss Joe Smith into the deal. For me, this further increases the disappointment of current Jayhawks in the NBA. We have one of the premier programs in college basketball, but only one player who is currently a key player on a good NBA team. And even Paul Pierce was a merely a good player on a terrible team until Boston imported Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett before the season. Is anyone else slightly disappointed? My buddy C.J., a former Kansan sports columnist, is a huge basketball fan and Jayhawk fanatic. As a Kansas native without a local NBA squad to support, he roots for teams based on former Jayhawks that the franchise employs. He has been a Bulls advocate for the last few years because of Kirk Hinrich and he has also rooted for the Celtics because of Pierce. I am from Minnesota and therefore am a diehard Timberwolves fan. Because my team decided to trade Garnett before the season and tank to acquire a high draft pick, I knew I had to root for losses for the good of the team. So I decided to try a form of the "C.J. Method" of NBA fandom. Instead of rooting for teams, which would have amounted to sports bigamy and a form of cheating on my Timberwolves, I threw my allegiances behind Hinrich, Pierce, Gooden, Nick Collison, Raef LaFrentz, Scot Pollard, Jacque Vaughn, Wayne Simien and Julian Wright. What a disappointing year it has been for C.J. and me. Outside of Pierce and the Celtics, it hasn't been pretty. And if the T-Wolves haven't been stupid enough to botch KG's prime by surrounding him with mediocre players before giving him away bargain- style, it would be a lost season for Jayhawk NBA fans. Cleveland has grown tired of Gooden and it is far from certain that he will fit in with the defensive-minded Bulls. Hinrich has inexplicably turned into a below average player on the NBA's most disappointing team. His points per game are at their lowest since his rookie year, his assist numbers are the lowest of his career and his outside shooting has been bad. 32 percent from beyond the arc, by far the worst of his career. The rest is merely mediocrity, or worse: Nick Collison is a decent backup post player on one of the NBA's worst teams, Seattle, and hasn't shown many signs of being able to turn the corner into a good starter. LaFrentz showed evidence early in his career with Denver that he could be developed into an All-Star player, but injuries robbed him of his athleticism and stamina and he hasn't been an effective player in six years. The former Jayhawk star hasn't seen the court much as an off-hurt backup center on Portland the last two years. Vaughn and Pollard are longtime backups. Pollard, an NBA journeyman, cheers Pierce on from the bench with the Celtics. Nobody knows what kind of player Julian Wright will turn into, but he will have to significantly improve his shooting and ball-handling to turn into an effective player. Simien was released by the Timberwolves, the second-worst team in the league, after being a throw-in on a trade from Miami right before the season started. He is unemployed and his NBA future looks bleak. I doubt this trend will reverse soon. The odds seem high that Darrell Arthur, Brandon Rush, Sherron Collins and other NBA hopefuls on the Jayhawk roster will eventually become nothing more than role players in "The League." Until Bill Self starts heavily recruiting those "one and done" type prospects such as Kevin Durant, Greg Oden or Michael Beasley, I would expect that to continue. I suppose it is selfish to be disappointed in the current crop of professionals. We do, after all, have Pierce and the Celtics to root for. Boston is 43-12; the best record in the NBA. But I can't help but feel a bit of indignation that the other Jayhawks haven't come through in my time of need. With Hinrich and Gooden's regressions, Wright's inability to crack the Hornets rotation, and the others' mediocrity, it has been a long year for Jayhawk NBA fans. Hawk Nation now has only one hope for its professional basketball fix; a lengthy playoff run by the Celtics that pushes Pierce further into the NBA spotlight. BASEBALL —Edited by Madeline Hyden Heading to Arkansas BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com The sunny weather hasn't followed Kansas home from Hawaii. However, the Jayhawks will consider it an even trade, so long as their poor play doesn't carry over from the Big Island to the mainland. After losing a series with Hawaii-Hilo for the first time in program history over the weekend, Kansas (2-3) heads to SEC country today for a midweek clash with Arkansas (3-0). The undefeated and uncharacteristically unranked Razorbacks reached the NCAA tournament last season, hosting a regional, which has added even more luster to Kansas' match up with the SEC powerhouse for. "That's a huge RPI game any time you get to play an SEC game," coach Ritch Price said. "We've been there four times since I've been here and we've lost (two) one-run games." That has Kansas looking for a bit of payback. One of those one-run losses came last season during a three-game Arkansas sweep. Of course, Kansas has had some bad luck with one-run games more recently. In the process of losing three of five games to Hawaii-Hilo to open its season, Kansas suffered two one-run, extra-inning losses. "Obviously were extremely disappointed in the win-loss record coming home, but everything we didn't do well we can fix". Price said. Kansas had 40 strikeouts and 10 errors in the series, so the Jayhawks will need to find quick fixes to hang with the Razorbacks. Looking to keep the Kansas bats cool will be Arkansas freshman right-hander James Mahler (0-0). Mahler pitched 1.1 innings of relief in Arkansas' three-game sweep of Wright State over the weekend, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk, and striking out none. Arkansas outscored Wright State 21-11 in the series with the help of junior third baseman Logan Forsyth, freshman first baseman Andy Wilkins and senior outfielder Aaron Murphree. Forsyth hit .500 in the series and led the team with five runs. Wilkins and led the team at a home run and knocked in six runs as Murphy led the team with a .600 average. However, after a 16-4 shellacking of the Vulcans in game five, the Jayhawks may have started hitting their stride. Most notably, junior first baseman Preston Land capped off his weekend with a 2-for-3 performance, scoring two runs and hitting a three-run home run. Kansas sophomore left-hander Wally Marceli (1-0) will try to harness the Arkansas offense after a strong start on Friday. Throwing on a pitch count to make sure he'd be fresh for today, Marceli struck out four in six innings, allowing just one run. Today will mark Marceli's first start in an SEC venue, but the youngest starter in Kansas' rotation isn't intimidated. "The SEC has a lot of good teams and Arkansas is a very good team." Marceli said. "I watched them, I didn't get to pitch against them last year, but hopefully I'll have a good game against them and just show them a new thing."

Now the jerkwawks in to the finish line as they wrap up their regular season with three games in the next eight days. The first of those three is tonight's clash with Texas at 7 in Allen Fieldhouse. BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com Now the Jayhawks are in a dead sprint Afterlosingtwogames in a row to the 11th and 12th place teams in the conference (Texas Tech and Missouri). Kansas has a laundry list of problems to fix before the game. "We've got to limit our turnovers and do the small things that really matter," sophomore guard Danielle McCrav said. particularly to start the second half. "We need to just play as hard as we can in these last few games in hopes of going to the tournament." Senior forward Taylor McIntosh added, "Around this time of year defense is winning games because the competition steps up. It's important for us to stay focused defensively and let our offense come to us" In the last two games, the Jayhawks' opponents used runs of 12-2 and 18-4 out of halftime to either erase or lengthen leads. What Henrickson can't figure out is why her team continues to come out flat. Coach Bonnie Henrickson admitted that turnovers had been a problem for her team, win or lose, all year. She said she was more disappointed in Kansas' lackcluster defense. TAYLOR MCINTOSH Senior forward "That's the million-dollar question; that's the one that's been agonizing the staff all year," Henrickson said. "Unfortunately I don't have an answer and I don't think these kids have an answer, either, but it's something we've got to fix right away." That mentality has been passed down to her players, who, despite the recent setbacks, understand what's still ahead of them. This has been one of the most competitive seasons in Big 12 history, according to Henrickson, and its inevitable end means it is gut check time for every team. It's not all bad news for the Jayhawks. They only lost by three in Columbia, Mo., with freshman center "The reality is that we still have a chance Krysten Boogaard accounting for just six points. The colossal Canadian won't get shut out like that at home, and backup point guard LaChelda Jacobs tends to play better against teams from her home state, Texas.

General manager Daryl Morey made the announcement Tuesday, hours before the Rockets put their 12-game winning streak on the line against the Washington Wizards. Yao was having a terrific season, averaging 22 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. "It is not an injury we feel he can play with." Rockets team doctor Tom Clanton said. "I've made the recommendation that it be treated surgically and we are working with him to get other opinions just to be certain that that is indeed what should be done." If Yao chooses surgery, Clanton said, it would involve placing screws across the bone to hold it together. The second option would be to treat it with a cast and crutches. Both options involve a healing time of about four months. Clanton would not say when Yao could play again, but said he didn't expect the center to miss the Beijing Olympics in August. Morey told the team before Tuesday's shootaround and added that he didn't believe the injury compromised Houston's playoff hopes. The Rockets were 36-20 entering Tuesday's game. "We've been playing exceptional ball and Yao's been a huge part of that," Morey said. "We feel very confident about our playoff push. We've managed to step up and play well without Yao in the past and coaches and players feel confident that we're going to continue to play well and make the playoffs this year." Morey acknowledged that it was This is Yao's fourth major injury in the last two years. He missed 32 games last season with a fracture in his right leg and 21 games in late 2006 with a toe infection that required surgery. He missed four games in April 2006 after breaking his foot. difficult news to receive when the team has been playing so well. "It's a pretty big swing from a high to a low, with how we were playing." Morey said. "We feel like our supporting cast is superior to when we played without Yao in the past. We remain ready for the challenge ahead." Clanton said there was no specific event that led to the injury, but rather an "accumulation of stresses on the bone. Yao first experienced soreness and pain in his ankle before the All-Star game and tests were done Monday. Houston went 20-12 when Yao was injured last season.

Last week Kansas was on fire and playing for a possible NCAA berth. Fast-forward seven days and the Jayhawks are losers of two in a row to the two worst teams in the Big 12. Their road woes are something to behold as they're now 0-7 in conference games away from Allen Fieldhouse. There is still a chance for Kansas to impress the selection committee, but right now it's about putting those losses behind them. No one likes to end another team's 10-game losing streak (Missouri), and the Jayhawks should be eager to get that taste out of their mouths. QUESTION MARK Coming out of halftime flat has been the kiss of death for the Jayhawks lately. It's the reason both Missouri and Texas Tech opened up large leads late in the game. Not only is it crushing for Kansas to see its opposition score at will for a period of five to eight minutes, but it also has a lasting effect on its play the rest of the game, too. It'll be interesting to see how Henrickson's team performs in the first four to six minutes of the second half. That period of time, more than any other stretch in the game, will give an indication as to whether the Jayhawks can come out with a win.

TEXAS,7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse Kansas (15-11,4-9) McCray Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard 14.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg McCray went to another level in the second half on Sunday; too bad she needed to go up a couple of levels. McCray's stellar play for about five straight possessions late in the game wasn't enough to make up for the entire team's uninspired play. ★★★☆ Mary Ann Snyder Boogaard Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center — 9.7 ppg, 5.7 rpg Boogaard had a heck of a time trying to get position against the Missouri defense and never really found her groove. Despite the defensive pressure down low, the Kansas guards kept feeding her the ball and it led to several of the team's 19 turnovers. Texas (16-11,4-9) ★★★☆☆ Taylor Mcintosh, 5-foot-11 senior forward 6.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg ★★★☆☆ M. E. MCGEE After having so much trouble guarding Alysse Holins Sunday, Raven could have a similar performance against the Jayhawks. She doesn't shoot the three nearly as well as Hollins does, but Raven is a physical perimeter player who is shooting more than five free throws per contest. Texas' chances will hinge on whether Raven can get into the paint and finish. Brittainley Raven, 6-foot-0 sophomore guard — 15.1 ppg, 4.7 pg With just three games left in her career at Kansas, McIntosh should start playing every game like it's her last — because that's not far from the truth. She plays some of the best defense on the team and a couple of those big blocks would be huge for momentum against Texas. McIntosh ★★☆☆ JI Ashley Lindsey, 6-foot-4 Junior forward —11.6 inch, 6.9 inch PENNY ROWLING Taylor Bern Lindsey is having a productive season, and her numbers are even higher in Big 12 Conference play. What is so surprising about her performance? Raven 3 in the post is that the talented junior has only 32 free throw attempts in 27 games. That number is extremely low, but by shooting better than 50 percent from the field she makes up for that shortcoming. ★★★☆☆ Maryland State University Carla Cortijo, 5-foot-7 junior guara - 9.6 ppg, 4.7 apg 9. 6 ppg/4.7 pg Kansas will have to be sure to limit Cortijo's freedom with the ball because if she gets free, Raven and Lindsey will get plenty of open looks. If the Jayhawks can force her to make mistakes (she has 128 assists to 96 turnovers), the Longhorns will be in for a long night. Cortijo doesn't make a high percentage of her shots from the field, but Lindsey Wendy she gets to the free-throw, line, and quick guards have troubled asas in the past. Cortijo ★★★☆☆ UT TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Andrew Wiebe The Longhorns are in exactly the same Big 12 position as the Jayhawks, at 4-9, and neither team is showing many signs of progress as of late. Coach Gail Goestenkors will eventually get things turned around in Texas, but it has been a tough year for her team. But Longhorn fans shouldn't be concerned, because Goestenkors has the third highest winning percentage in NCAA women's basketball history among active coaches. QUESTION MARK Can Texas force Kansas to continue to turn the ball over 20 times per contest? On the season, Texas is forcing opponents into 20.1 turnovers per game. That number is right in line with the Jayhawks turnover average, and if the Longhorns can play to their potential defensively, they shouldn't have a problem dispatching their struggling opponent. Raven and Cortijo will play critical roles defensively as Kansas perimeter players can be bullied into making questionable passes.

STUDENT SENATE one community, many voices SUA www.suaevents.com 4B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY FEBRIARY 27 2008 REED (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Aldrich is Tyrel's roommate, and he's seen a different side of his fellow freshman — the side most people don't see. Tyrol's expense, it may be because he knows him so well. Most people know the quiet Tyrel, the polite Tyrel, the determined gym rat who's dedicated his life to basketball. That side of Tyrel didn't always show up when the Reeds were growing up in Eureka, or when the family moved to Burlington before Tyrel entered high school, Stacy Reed said. "Tyrrel is more of an introvert," Stacy said. Tyrel did most of his talking on the basketball court. With Stacy coaching and Tyrel playing, Burlington High School won the 3A State basketball championship in 2004. Tyrel, a four-year letter winner, had all the hallmarks of a coach's son. "They're just around it so much, they get a better feel for the game," Stacy said. "Tyrel kind of took the ball and ran with it." Lacie graduated from Burlington Lacie gradua High School in 2006. While Lacie went to the University and began work volunteering as a basketball manager, Tyrel was still deciding on what college to attend. "He's like a little kid who once in a while has too much sugar." Lacie said she play developed. Tyrel came towards her basket, jumped — and landed awkwardly on his left ankle. Lacie said she didn't want her new job to affect Tyrel's decision. "I think it's one of the things that made Tyrel pick KU," Stacy said. "Not only his love for KU, but being close with family." Stacy said it might have anyway. Tyrel, who rolled his right ankle "He fell right in front of me," Lacie said. "I expected him to get up right away, and he didn't." COLE ALDRICH Freshman center Lacie sat under the basket in her usual spot as Kansas played Eastern Washington on Dec. 5, watching as a a week before against Arizona, had sprained his left ankle. "I thought, 'Oh gosh, another ankle', " Lacie said. The season hasn't gone exactly how Tyrel envisioned, Tylel, the 2007 Gatorade High School Player of the Year in Kansas, said he didn't have any expectations about playing time. He saw Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins, the talented threasome of guards ahead of him. "It was kind of demoralizing." Tyrel said. "You just want to play so bad, and then you can't." Tyrel couldn't jump, cut or play at* the speed he was accustomed to. It was a tough game could relate to. Growing up, Tyrell wasn't the only basketball standout in the family. Lia could play. "I don't know many people that could beat Lacie in a game of horse," Stacey Reed said. Lacie could play a little bit, too. But when Lacie was in sixth grade, her basketball career came to a temporary halt when "I don't know many people that could beat Lacie in a game of horse." Lacie's knee injuries were a constant source of frustration, but Lacie still played, if for no other reason than that playing basketball is what Reeds do. Even if that meant just standing around the three-point line and calling for the ball. By the time Lacie was done playing basketball, she had dislocated her left knee 14 times and her right knee four times. she dislocated her left knee. One year later, she had knee surgery. STACY REED Father of Tyrel and Lacie Reed "I tore everything except my ACL," Lacie said. "I would say I loved basketball, maybe just not as much as he did," Lacie said, looking at Tyrel. Tyrel's injuries — and the guards ahead of him — have cut into Reed's playing time per game, and in nine games this season, he has not played a minute. "Ive still been able to practice" Tyrel said. Practices for Tyrel have meant daily matchups with Robinson, Chalmers and Collins. Tyrel normally has the honor of guarding one of them. "At different times, they can teach you different things about the game, because they're all so different," Tyrel said. "I think even when you're not playing and you're injured, you can still develop by just watching the game and seeing it played at the college level." Lacie still gets the same reaction when she tells people she's from Burlington. "They're like, 'Burlington, Kansas?' That kid that plays basketball, he's from there," Lacie said. "I'll say, 'Yeah, that's my brother.'" It's not a bad thing, Lacie said. "With some people you might think they'd have jealousy," Stacy Reed said. "but Lacie never did." For Lacie and Tyrel, the town and the routine may have changed, but some things stay the same. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Lacie washes the clothes; Tyrel buys the food. Tyrel is in the spotlight; Lacie is behind the scenes. "Our family loves basketball." Lacie said. "It's just a part of our life."

Beachgate.com or call 869-749-2565 --- 6B GAME DAY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2008 KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE This is an important game for the Jayhawks. No one would have thought a matchup against Iowa State would matter too much at the beginning of conference play, but now Kansas is desperate for a road victory. The Jayhawks have lost three of four away from home, and Hilton Coliseum is one of the toughest gyms in the league. A Big 12 title might be impossible at this point, but Kansas badly needs this victory for a confidence boost. WHO TO WATCH Darrell Arthur, sophomore forward All the players need to bounce back after a poor effort against Oklahoma State, but Arthur was Arthur KANSAS VS. IOWA STATE, 3 p.m., Hilton Coliseum, Ames, Iowa, CBS Jayhawks to battle Cyclones, attempt season sweep probably the worst. He'd been playing great the past two weeks, but Saturday was a major setback. For this team to play great again, someone is going to have to become a threat to score on every offensive possession. Arthur might not be able to do that, but he's the only Jayhawk who has the chance. KANSAS TRIES TO BOUNCE BACK HEARYE, HEARYE Can Kansas still earn a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament? QUESTION MARK Probably not. Texas is almost a lock to get the highest seed of any Big 12 team, and if the Longhorns win out in their league games, they'll be almost assured of a No. 1. The Big 12 will not likely get two No. 1 seeds. To have a chance at a No. 1 seed, the Jayhawks will have to win the rest of their regular season games and the Big 12 Tournament. Even then, Kansas would still probably be behind Texas, not to mention Tennessee, Memphis, North Carolina, UCLA and possibly Duke. "We played miserably on Saturday, but I do think that health is a part of the intangible equation. When you don't have health that is when everyone else needs to rally around (each other). Our other players need to play a little bit better and pull the rope a little harder. There are some guys that are distracted for real reasons. Playing well through tough times is a sign of leadership and players coming together. We didn't have that on Saturday." Kansas coach Bill Self "It is like comparing apples and oranges because Florida had already won a national championship last year. Our guys should not have the mindset that we know what to do and when the time is right we are going to do it. That should not be the mindset of any team that hasn't done it yet. We haven't been down that road yet. It would be giving our guys and our team way too much credit to compare us to a team that has already done it." — Self comparing his team to Florida last season COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY Kansas (24-3,9-3) THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 Mike McGraw Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior gui Mississippi Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Robinson needs to rediscover his defensive stopper ways. Remember when he held O.J. Mayo in check in Los Angeles? He needs to be that dominant on-the-ball defender he was earlier this season. RIBE MUSIYA ★★★☆☆ Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard PETER PARKS Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard The last play against Oklahoma State was supposedly designed for Chalmers.Maybe the outcome would have been different if Chalmers, who's been clutch in the past, got the ball. ★★★☆★ Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard Rush's inconsistencies are starting to really hurt the team. He played well at the end against Okla-homa State, but where was he before then? Rahsk hom ush, 6-foot-6 consistencies really KANSAS 14 ★★☆★★ D. J. MCKINLEY Iowa State (14-13,4-8) Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward Jackson did a tremendous job of staying focused on the game Saturday despite the family tragedy that occurred three days earlier. He could have a big game against Iowa State's smaller front line. PETER J. BROWN ★★★★☆ Darrell Arthur. C. BENNIE HARVEY 6-foot-9 sophomore forward At least he'd been playing well in the games before Oklahoma State. Otherwise his one-for-three field goal stat line would be almost unforgivable. It will be interesting to see whether Self has Arthur guard Iowa State's Wesley Johnson tonight. ★★★★ THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 ★ ★★★★ THE SIXTH MAN Jasna Kaun, 6-foot-11 senior center ★★★☆★★ Bryan Petersen, 6-foot-1 freshman guard Bryan Petersen, 6-foot-1 freshman guard Peterson, a junior college transfer, has handled the point guard duties all season for the Cyclones. His 14 points against Texas Tech on Saturday was one of his best offensive performances of the season. Sasna Kaun, 6-foot-11 senior center Don't expect Sherron Collins to get much playing time tonight because of his bad knee. Kaun will likely get the most minutes off the bench. He'll need to be more aggressive on offense if Arthur doesn't find many shots again. Kansas finds a way to get a spark on offense. The Jayhawks were too predictable on Saturday. Rush and Chalmers could shoot from the outside. Arthur wasn't getting open down low. No one could step up and create his own shot. Against good teams, one of the players has to find a way to make a move that will get him open and take the defense out of its comfort zone. The Jayhawks can probably still win against Iowa State with a somewhat stale offense, but some more drives to the hoop wouldn't hurt. Wesley Johnson, 6-foot-7 sophomore forward HILTON COLISEUM WILL BE MOVIE THEATER SILENT IF... ALEXANDER PORREZ Mark Dent Johnson scored 21 points against Kansas earlier this season, but he's struggled lately. The sophomore from Corsicana, Texas has scored six total points in Iowa State's last two games. ★★★★ S. ★★★☆★ Rahshon Clark, 6-foot-6 senior forward Rahshon Clark, 6-foot-6 senior forward The Queens, NV, native has only two more home games left at Hilton Coliseum. Clarke, who averaged 13.1 points per game as a sophomore, is a role player on this team, giving Iowa State a mix of points, rebounds and blocks. Jiri Hubalek, 6-foot-11 senior center A. A. The 25-year-old center from the Czech Republic had 17 points in Iowa State's loss to Texas Tech on Saturday. ★★★★ Craig Brackins, 6-foot-10 freshman forward Brackins may have Tyrel Reed J hit the freshman wall. He's scoring fewer than five points per during Iowa State's last five games. M. B. HENRY ★★★☆★ THE SIXTH MAN Sean Haluska, 6-foot-3 junior guard Haluska scored a career-high 15 points against Texas Tech. Pretty good considering Haluska started the season 0-for-26 from the three-point line. ★★★★ Rustin Dodd PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... Kansas loses its third straight road game. It could happen. The Jayhawks needed overtime last year to win in Ames and that was against an inferior Iowa State team. This is going to be a tough game. Kansas should win if it plays up to its potential but that might not happen because of its recent struggles and injury problems. It will also be key for Kansas to execute well at the end. At Texas and at Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks struggled to score in the last few minutes. ISU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Second-year Coach Greg McDermott's Iowa State team has taken its lumps during the past month. The Cyclones' loss to Kansas on Jan. 23 began a skid in which they've lost seven of nine. But both of those victories came at home, and Iowa State nearly knocked off Texas at home, losing 71-65 in overtime on Feb. 9. Kansas should be weary of playing in Hilton Coliseum. Last season Kansas barely escaped Ames, Iowa with a victory, beating the Cyclones 68-64 in overtime, Iowa State -- which is 12-4 at home this season -- is always dangerous at Hilton Coliseum, and an upset victory would be the signature victory of McDermott's tenure. WHO TO WATCH Jiri Hubalek, senior center Nebraska's Aleks Maric isn't the only international center making noise in the Big 12. Jiri Hubalek, a native of the Czech Republic, is leading Iowa State with 13.2 points per game. He has heated up in the past htvh.hu/hu Hubalek three weeks, scoring 17.4 points per game in Iowa State's last seven games. He can stretch the defense with his ability to hit a 15-foot jump shot. The Cyclones need a big game from their big man. If Darnell Jackson and Darrell Arthur can contain Hubalek, Iowa State will have a tough time keeping up with Kansas on the scoreboard. QUESTION MARK Does Hilton Magic still exist? In 1989, Des Moines Register columnist Buck Turnbull used the phrase "Hilton Magic" to describe the Cyclone's ability to gain special victories at Hilton Coliseum — the home of the Cyclones. The building has consistently been one of the toughest places to play — Iowa State's 39-game home winning streak that was snapped in 2002 is a prime example. Iowa State has made a habit of sending visiting teams home unhappy. But does Hilton Magic still exist? One thing is certain. If the game is close in the second half, ESPN's broadcast team will undoubtedly bring up the term Hilton Magic. HEARYE. HEARYE "It probably needs to start with me because we don't have a vocal leader on the team. We've been talking about this for four years and its not going to happen. I've got to do a better job of providing leadership for our guys. I can't talk on the court. Our staff and I can't do some things. But from a vocal standpoint, the vocal leader needs to be me." — Bill Self on Kansas' leadership JAYHAWK STATS

Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced Wednesday that Hawley will teach an introduction to astronomy class next fall. Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN Astronaut to teach at University Three-time space explorer returns to Lawrence as professor of physics, astronomy BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com Steve Hawley, the astronaut who brought the Jayhawk spirit into space three times, toured Kansas Wednesday before announcing he would return to Mount Oread to teach physics and astronomy. Hawley, a KU alumnus and three-time space explorer, thanked Chancellor Hemenway for giving him the privilege of teaching at his alma mater, but students argued that they were the lucky ones. "The aerospace engineering people are drooling over him because they are mad they don't get him." Mark Stockham, Manhattan senior in physics, said. Stockham, who returns to the University in the fall, is hoping to get into one of Hawley's classes. Hawley said that he never thought his dream to fly in space would come true, especially three times. "And now I can't believe that my second dream, to come home to KU, is also coming true." Hawley will continue to work with NASA through May before he takes up his University responsibilities next fall. "I could stay with NASA," Hawley said, "but then I wouldn't get the chance to work at KU." Hawley said that he wanted to start a second career, and because he is getting on in years, now was the obvi- Chancellor Hemenway said that when he met Hawley about five years ago, they started bouncing around the idea that he might come back to teach. "We really hit it off. He is a very stimulating person to be around," Hemenway said. "I have been a real fan of space flight since I was a kid," Duque said. "It is very hard and challenging, but really fun." of his idols. He even had a piece of a space shuttle Hawley had flown in and a special pen to get Hawley's autograph. Duque is majoring in aerospace engineering and is sad that Hawley will not be in his department. Hemenway said he "I could stay with NASA,but then I wouldn't get the chance to work at KU." "Anyone that meets Steve realizes what an addition he will be to the University." Hemenway said he approached the provosts to try to identify the funds to get him here, but didn't have a hard time doing it. STEVE HAWLEY KU alumnus and astronaut Rodrigo Duque, Gardner senior, said that he came to see Hawley because he was one Chancellor Hemenway said that they gave Hawley the opportunity to choose which department he wanted to work in and he felt most connected to the astronomy and physics department. Hawley graduated from the University in 1973 from the astronomy and physics program. He will get to work with his old teacher, Steve Shawl, professor of astronomy and physics, for one semester before Shawl retires from the department. Karen Ohmes, Hutchinson sophomore minoring in astronomy, said she got to meet Hawley when she worked at the cosmosphere. Michael Murray, assistant professor in astronomy and engineering, said he thought the department would be much stronger when Hawley came. "He is a big deal. He really brings something to the department that no else can." Ohmes said. "I hope that I get to take his class." "I am very pleased to have him," Murray said. "He really attracts smart students." Hawley, who is from Salina, said he grew up idolizing Joe Engle, a 1955 KU graduate and astronaut, who grew up in Chapman. "I used to drive through Chapman and see his sign that said 'Chapman, Home of Joe Engle.'" Hawley said. "Well now, I joke with Joe because I have four signs in Salina and he still only has two." Hawley said that everything just sort of fell into place to get him to come here. He said his parents are thinking about moving to Lawrence and his brother is in Nebraska, so it really is a homecoming for him.

A long meeting can ride 60 miles. The organization is a sports club that participates in both recreational and competitive bike racing. "We definitely have a strong cycling community in Lawrence," Connor Dennis, Fairway sophomore, said. "We have a large alumni network involved with the team and with the whole community." Dennis, Cycling Club president, said the 40 members in the club usually scheduled three group rides per week. Members participate in rides based on their availability. The club meets at Strong Hall or at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 804 Massachusetts St., and members ride for 30 minutes to three hours. "Right now, the hardest part is being able to train outside because of the weather, and balancing training with school," Gillian Armstrong, Manhattan junior, said. A PHOTO COURTESY OF CONNOR DENNIS Members of the KU Cycling club get to take part in races at schools such as Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska, as well as the North Central Collegiate Cyclamen Conference. In addition to recreational rides, Dennis said 15 members of the club raced competitively. The cycling season determines the type of competition. Mountain bike racing occurs in the fall, cyclo-cross racing in the winter and road racing in the spring. The Cycling Club has four races in March and April, and will race against schools such as Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska. The members will attend the North Central Collegiate Cycling Conference April 26-27 in Iowa City, Iowa. "I like hanging out with people post-race," Josh Patterson. Manhattan graduate student, said. "It's an individual sport, but there is a lot of camaraderie after events." Members who qualify will attend the CollegiateRoadNationalChampionships May 10-11 in Fort Collins, Colo. Dennis said that there were two to three riders in the club that were hoping to make it to nationals this year. KU cyclists have won multiple awards during competitions. In October, the team won the Collegiate Conference Mountain Bike Championship. Patterson is the Heartland Mountain Bike Series Single Speed champion, and Armstrong, the treasurer of the club, won "I like mountain bike racing a lot better than road racing because it's more laidback and more interesting," Armstrong said. the Women's Mountain Bike Conference Championship in Red Wing, Minn. The cycling club is also involved within the Lawrence community, Dennis said. On May 3, members of the Cycling Club will demonstrate bike safety at a bike rodeo at Schwegler Elementary School. "A lot of people are turned away by our competitive side, but were more than that," Dennis said. "We're out there to have fun too." The organization will meet at 9:15 p.m. tonight at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. Anyone interested in joining the cycling club should e-mail scd5416@ku.edu or visit www.kucycling.com.

A female's voice answers. "KU Info, how can I help you?" The voice belongs to Cattlin Tew, a junior from Allen, Texas. It's nearly 1:30 in the afternoon, and she is sitting behind the KU Info desk on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. A half-mile down Jayhawk boulevard, students sit outside on the stairs of Wescoe Beach, and a row of tables promote various student activities. One of those tables belong to one, a Student Senate coalition taking part in Student Senate elections this spring. As part of its campaign, Connect launched WiKUpedia, a Web site dedicated to disseminating KU information to a wide audience. Following the model of the Web site Wikipedia, the new site features user created content about the University. Back at the Union, the phone rings again. "KU Info, how can I help you?" Tew said. puters. She saw the effect the Internet had on people's lives. Endless information, right at people's finger tips. Tew has worked at KU Info since 2006. She works with a laptop computer next to the phone. Like most KU students, she grew up with comin a couple of keywords on Google, but KU Info was like the Internet on the phone" "It it people at ease when they talk to a person." Tew said. To some, getting information by phone maybe seem archaic, but nearly four decades after its founding, KU Info still has callers. COUNTING THE TREES How many trees are on campus? Pat Kehde, director of KU Info from 1980 to 1990, said people always asked the same questions. Kehde said KU Info had the answer on a Rolodex card. That's where KU Info kept all its answers. PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Twenty years ago, KU info kept answers on Rolodex cards. Today, they use a laptop, but the Rolodexes are still available at the Spencer Research Library. PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY The Rolodexes were compiled from years of answering questions and curbing campus rumors. Still available at the Spencer Research Library, the old Rolodexes date back to the beginning of KU Info. The service, which began in the early '70s to aid in rumor control, soon evolved into something different - a 24-hour service that was dedicated to answering any question for students. Kehde said a couple of questions were pretty standard. But Khde said KU Info answered questions of a more serious nature too. "The name of the seven dwarfs, and the meaning of life," Kehde said. She said KU Info obtained a list of KU graduates after the last day of finals, and students on the bubble called in to see if they actually were graduating. "Saturday night, before commencement, our phone was ringing off the hook," Kehde said. According to a University press release from 1982, KU Info answered about 500 to 700 questions a day in the 1980s "People would graduate and come back, and say, I don't remember much, but I remember 864-3506," Kehde said. Brett Wadsworth is one of those alumna. Wadsworth, a 2003 KU graduate, said he called in one night and asked, "How many helium balloons would it take to lift up a 200 pound guy?" THE MESSENGER "We had a pool going," Wadsworth said. "After about a minute, the guy on the phone came back with the answer." Wadsworth said the Internet existed, but it still wasn't readily available to KU students when he was in school. "We were still working off of 50% dial-up." he said. "Now you can type Former Lawrence mayor and current city commissioner Dennis 'Boog' Highberger worked at KU info from 1983 to 1986. Highberger remembers one day at KU Info more than others. He was sitting in front of the phone when he received the news that the Challenger space shuttle had exploded. "People wanted to know what was going on," Highberger said. "The phone was ringing faster than you could answer it." Highberger also worked night shifts. When KU Info was open 24 hours a day, the student workers could sleep, but they had to be next to the phone so they could wake up if it rang. "Usually in the middle of the night, there would be an hour or maybe two when there wouldn't be calls." Highberger said. "Otherwise it was all night." KU Info has already been affected by the Internet. The service lost its funding in 2002, and rumors surfaced that the service had died. KU Info reopened in the Union in 2006. A NEW NICHE The hours are scaled back to 9 a. m. to 9 p.m., and the calls are down from what they used to be — about 200 a day, according to Tew. Tew said some of those calls are from alumna. "They usually just want to say hi," Tew said. "They usually have some sort of story related to KU Info from when they were in school." Today, students can enroll, pay tuition, and buy books online. Even with the onslaught of Google, Wikipedia and YouTube, Highberger still thinks that there is a need for KU Info. "Even with the Internet, some information is hard to find," he said. Kehde agreed. "I think some questions actually can't be answered on the Internet," Kehde said. — Edited by Sam Lamb Rain garden to be placed next to Recreation Center Senate passed legislation to fund a rain garden next to the Student Recreation Fitness Center. The project will cost $15,000 and will be funded from the Student Senate reserve fund. The Emerging Green Builders is the campus group starting the project. The group includes mainly students from the School of Architecture and the School Engineering. Studie Red Corn, Shawne senior, helped plan the garden as an initiative to get more student integration with a sustainable project onto campus. "We want to do it right and we want to do it big," Red Corn said. The garden will be in the area next to the recreation center where construction equipment is now. It will be 5,480 square feet and filled with perennial plants native to Kansas, budgeted for $3 each. It will likely be watered regularly like a lawn for the first few years, but then be watered with run-off water. Red Corn said the project was dependent on the schedule of the expansion of the recreation center. Preparation work like bringing in heavy stones will be done by contractors, but students will do all of the planting. He said the ideal planting time was mid-September. Transfer of funds to help KU on Wheels relieve debt Senate approved the movement of $141,000 in funds from the bus acquisitions fee to the bus operations fee. This money will help KU on Wheels pay off its $247,000 debt. Students paid $36 each in fees to KU on Wheels this year. Twenty dollars of the $36 went into a bus acquisition fee used to purchase new buses. All the regular buses used with the new busing company were used, so KU on Wheels will buy new buses in small groups every few years. Sixteen dollars go into the bus operations account, which handles the day-to-day operation. The operations fund cannot be in debt at the end of the 2008 fiscal year, which ends on July 31. The acquisition fund can be in the red because KU on Wheels borrowed money from the University to buy the used buses and is paying them back in installments. The transfer of money will set bus acquisition back one year, but Danny Kaiser, assistant director of parking and transit, said the year will not make a noticeable difference in the busing system.

This year, the group won't run candidates for election and will instead campaign to raise awareness for these issues. Bridley Maidhof, Overland Park senior and co-president of Delta Force, said the group chose these issues because almost everyone in the group had an interest in them. Maidhof said the group would campaign like they normally would for a candidate by tabling and handing out flyers, but would focus on the issues. She said the group would also work with other campus groups, like the Center for Sustainability and Watkins Memorial Health Center, to distribute information. Maidhrood said a goal of the sustainability efforts was for the chancellor to sign the President's Climate Commitment, an agreement to improve sustainability efforts on campus. At least 498 universities signed the agreement the agreement. She said Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, already took the document to the chancellor but it wasn't signed. another campus group distribute information about sustainability on campus would be helpful, especially because Delta Force has a presence on campus and relates well to students. (Bridey) Maidhof said the group would campaign like they normally would for a candidate by tabling and handing out flyers, but would focus on the issues. Severin said sustainability was looking at issues with an environmental, economic and social responsibility in mind. Severin said having He said he was already working with the University to improve use of resources and energy consumption on campus. it was hard to get students mobilized on any issue, even though many students were aware of the problem of sustainability. "There's been a negative stigma attached to anything green, and people automatically label it a hippie issue," Maidhof said. John Cross, Kansas City, Mo. senior and co-president of Delta Force, said Delta Force had sexual health as a platform in a previous campaign, so many members were knowledgeable on the subject. Liz Stuewe, Lawrence senior and member of Delta Force, said many students didn't realize how sexual health affected them. She said one in two sexually active people would get sexually-transmitted diseases by age 25, which directly affected college students. "it's kind of becoming a taboo to talk about," Stuwe said. Stuewe said she thought part of the problem with students getting diseases was that they were taught abstinence-only education in public school, so they weren't aware of how dangerous unprotected sex could be. "As Delta Force, we can't change the school systems students come from," Stuewe said. She said through campaigning, working with other campus groups and bringing college-friendly sex education to campus, Delta Force could improve knowledge about unprotected sex. Ken Sarber, health educator for Watkins, said Watkins hosted talks and presentations at residence halls, greek houses and Watkins last semester to make sure students were aware of the risks of unsafe sex. He said they passed out a safe-sex kit, which included condoms, lubrication and information on sexually-transmitted diseases and how to prevent them. He said the center also provided disease testing for people who may not be practicing safe sex when they come to college. "A lot of students get freedom for the first time in college, and some feel the peer pressure because everyone's talking about sex," Sarber said. Cross said another goal of Delta Force was to lower prices for testing at Watkins. Sarber said the most expensive tests were for chlamydia and gonorrhea, which cost $43.90 each. Maidhof said that Delta Force did not have specific events planned to promote their issues, but knew they would be campaigning at the same time as candidates for Student Senate. Maidhof said that because many of the group's members were also members of other coalitions she expected them to commit more to their coalition as the elections come closer. She said Delta Force would not be aligning with either coalition.

NICK MCMULLEN ENTERTAINMENT Clinton talks about SNL skit, how moderators treat her NEW YORK — James Downey knew something odd had happened when he stepped away from watching the Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday night and his phones started ringing. Hillary Clinton had cited the "Saturday Night Live" skit Downey had written to complain about her treatment by moderators Brian Williams and Tim Russert. "In the last several debates I seem to get the first question all the time," she said. "I don't mind. I'll be happy to field it. I just find curious if anybody saw 'Saturday Night Live,' maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow." Downey, an original "Saturday Night Live" writer, created the skit about an Obama-Clinton debate, which featured a lovestruck press corps fawning over Barack Obama Still, Downey can't help but notice how many people in the news media have been seduced by the Illinois senator. The Clinton campaign has expressed frustration that it is getting a tougher ride from the press. while treating Clinton as an annoyance in their way. A fictional Campbell Brown fanned herself in excitement after an Obama answer, while a John King impersonator suggested he had "nailed it".

Some specific examples of actions that constitute plagiarism include pasting together uncredited information." Sound familiar? It's the beginning of the University's official plagiarism policy, which is e-mailed to all the people who run classes. Many instructors copy and paste from the e-mail they receive to the syllabus they are writing, but many don't cite where it's from. They plagiarize the section on plagiarism. I don't really care that my teachers are stealing something I've seen 50 times before without telling me that they didn't write it on their own. I care that my tuition dollars are going to people who don't even have the courtesy to pretend to follow rules they are enforcing. On the syllabus for one of my classes, my instructor forgot to remove the phrase "suggested wording" next to the section heading, which makes me even more confident that he lifted it straight from the University's plagiarism e-mail. In the paragraph informing students that presenting someone else's work as our own is grounds for expulsion, we are being served a heaping helping of hypocrisy. Does anyone who reads my column know the Chancellor? He should know that something as important to academia as intellectual property is being flouted so blatantly on his watch. It would be fine if each syllabus contained a standard wording of the policy. That would make sense. Then there would be no room for interpretation, no gray area. Instructors can choose their own phrasing of the policy. The problem is when they cut corners. Maybe they had other syllabi to write. Maybe they partied too much the previous weekend. They're just doing it once, no one will notice. Whatever the reason, they didn't get around to writing their own version, so they cut corners and just used the one they were e-mailed. Max Rinkel But guess what? Someone did notice. That someone was my Jazz instructor. I didn't even notice on my own. I'm borrowing someone else's idea in my column on plagiarism. It's a whole other level of irony. But notice how I am admitting that I didn't think of it on my own, unlike the instructors I am referring to who are just as bad as students who run afoul of intellectual property laws. They should have the courtesy of at least keeping up appearances. By breaking the rule as they explain it, instructors are demeaning its importance. WHERE'S THE FEE FOR THE REST OF THE DAMN CAMPUS? 》 THE EDITORIAL BOARD Students should not be forced to fund Athletics Department The purpose of mandatory student fees is to fund campus institutions that provide services for students. While women's and non-revenue sports (men's OUR VIEW This exclusive group of athletes directly benefiting from the fee is 537 strong, or less than 3 percent of undergraduates. It doesn't make sense that such a small percentage is benefiting from the fees paid by all students. Women should certainly have as much of an opportunity to play varsity sports as men, and athletes in non-revenue sports should have access to scholarships and practice facilities just like football or basketball players. The department must also comply with Title IX. However, the Athletics Department should be able to provide for all of these athletes out of its own budget rather than relying on already cash-strapped students. Increasing the cost of student tickets for basketball and football would be more fair than requiring all students to pay for a department they may not care about. the construction of a new boathouse for the rowing team. Does the Athletics Department really need this money? Consider this: according to Lawrence Journal World, the Athletics Department spent $2 million to fly coaches, the governor, KU administrators and faculty, as well as their spouses and children, to the Orange Bowl. More than $12 million was donated to the Williams Educational Fund in the 2006-2007 season alone, according to Jim Marchiony, Associate Athletics Director. All money donated to this fund is non-earmarked, meaning that the Athletics Department can use it however it pleases. The University of Texas, as well as some other Big 12 schools, don't have a mandatory fee. UT students pay an optional $70 per year for an all-inclusive sports pass. The Women and Non-Revenue Sports fee was voted to be increased from $20 to $40 in Spring 2006 via referendum. Though 3,000 students voted — the largest referendum turnout in KU history — the outcome drew controversy. Jack Connor, a Holdover senator who was on Wesco Beach the day of the vote, recembers numerous people from the Athletics Department (including Julian Wright, Sasha Kaun and Athletics Director Lew Perkins) handing out doughnuts and Gatorade to those who voted on laptops that the department had set up. In some cases, Connor said, athletes were sitting with the voter at the computer and telling them where to click. It wasn't until after the referendum passed that the Student Senate Rules and Regulations were amended to forbid this practice. Fast-forward to last week. On Feb 19, the Student Senate finance committee voted on a bill proposing to eliminate the Women's and Non-Revenue Sports student fee. The results were 11-6 in favor of the bill, but because a two-thirds majority is needed for a bill to pass committee, it fell short by just one vote. But the mandatory fee should never have been proposed to begin with. The Student Senate Budget Code contains a provision designed to protect students from such unfair fees. Article 7.2.5.4.1 states that "No funds from student fees shall be allocated or apportioned to any corporation, organization, or group that is not open de facto to all University of Kansas students." Apparently the six senators who voted last week's bill down decided to break their own rules. lan Stanford for the Editorial Board. COMMENTARY Young generation respects old technology JORDAN RYAN In those times our professors like to call "the good old days," record albums and mother's spiral cord landlines were the new technologies available to keep a kid in touch with the world. Today, new technology like cell phones and iPods keep us constantly in touch with each other and popular culture. It would be foolish to view these differences in black and white terms because every new generation breeds new technology and ideas, but I have seen professors who would rather not see it this way. It's as though they prefer to use the glory of the past as a platform to justify refusing this generation's technology, and on top of that, poke fun at us for using what is most convenient fur us. A charismatic teacher I had the privilege of taking a class from twice made comments about the generation gap between him and his students. That makes me wonder if he, seeing me listening to my iPod, doesn't respect me. He is intelligent, witty and engaging, and he has spoken to us as if our minds are so inundated with thoughts of what Hot-100 single to download to our cell phones. It's no wonder that we don't understand where some of his thoughts are coming from. If music is mentioned, the professor is sure to reference vinyl as something we must have only heard about from stories of our parents' childhoods. Although I like to fancy myself an analog girl (I know there are many of you who do just this), I keep my ears and soul warm on campus with the help of my chunky Sony stereo headphones and trusty iPod. It is simple to let pride take over and assume that teachers making these references are surely not talking to you. Whether you have a record collection or have only seen one at a garage sale, records are still visible to our generation. But we are lying to ourselves if we cling to items like records that symbolize the beauty of the past and deny that we live in an age where technology like cell phones and computers have become so widely used that we see them as essentials. Just like landline telephones and microwaves, cell phones and computers are inventions that we can survive without. But they have become tools that are seen as necessary to function in our increasingly public and fast-paced society. In the case of cell phones, they are more commonly used among kids and young adults who live in an incredibly social world where people want to know what's cool, where people are going and how to get where they want to go. We should not be ashamed of this. Established adults don't necessarily live asocial lives, but they do not invite constant communication in matters of rinor dramatics or purposeless 2 a.m. calls. that our age group has utilized new technology. My intention is not to glorify the exorbitant use of cell phones seen in class and around campus, but rather to say that we are not uncool for owning and using technology for which professors may deride us. It may be in style to nod to the past by buying records and scoffing at cell phone use, but cell phones and other recent technology give our generation options that help us not only meet more people and see more places. This is where the gap lies, not in our knowledge of the trophies and trinkets of the past, but in the way They help us work more efficiently in managing school,work and extracurricular activities that require communication and organization. As long as it is not always pressed to your cheek directly before and after class, don't let a professor take a stab at you for the use of your cell phone. Cultural inconsistencies in the generation gap survive, but the silly and critical comments about the technology of our generation are getting old. Ryan is a Salina junior in art history.

The Lawrence Police Department conducted compliance checks this month in an effort to catch stores selling to minors. Stan Ward, a sergeant at the Lawrence Police Department, said 26 percent of stores failed these compliance checks and furnished alcohol to minors. The Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, KABC, awarded grant money to the Lawrence fair, the buyers were all between 18- and 19-years-old so that they would appear young enough to card. Ward said the department was working for a while to reduce the flow of alcohol to minors through media releases and informational training flyers in an attempt to get the stores to comply voluntarily in the months leading up to the checks. This is not the first time the city "Twenty-six percent of stores failed these compliance checks and furnished alcohol to minors." STAN WARD Lawrence police sergeant Police Department to conduct the compliance checks. Police used the funds to send underage buyers into stores to attempt to make purchases with expired IDs or none at all. To be teamed up with KABC to control criminal activity in the city. Last year, the city used KABC to help monitor and document violations in the downtown club Last Call. KABC gives the city more authority in controlling businesses licensed by the state, but only after extensive violations within the club have been reported. Tom Groneman, KABC director, was able to deny Last Call's liquor license when it came up for renewal, which led to the eventual end of the club. The Lawrence Police Department recorded 53 liquor law violations in 2005, compared to only 44 in 2007. The most obvious success the city made was in drunk driving incidents. Police issued nearly a third less citations for drunk diving in 2007 than just five years ago. In 2003, Lawrence had 643 arrests for driving under the influence and by 2007 that number declined to 455. Even though these numbers have decreased, Lawrence has high numbers for both drunk driving and underage drinking compared to other college towns. Columbia, Mo. came close to Lawrence with 400 DWI arrests in 2007, but Stillwater, Okla., didn't even break the 200 mark. Over the last five years, Lawrence was consistently higher in alcohol-related incidents. DWI arrests in college towns Ronald Olin, Lawrence Chief of Police, told the Lawrence City Commission that the city spent $33,447 last summer for a Summer Safety Initiative, which was supposed to help lower crimes in the Downtown Lawrence Entertainment district. Olin said that during the 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Lawrence 643 641 583 579 495 Chapel Hill, N.C. 317 328 254 250 302 College Station Tex. 237 332 293 331 368 Stillwater, Ok. 211 309 299 266 199 Columbia, Mo. 425 601 578 476 400 Summer Safety Initiative, the police felt as though they could take care of important issues in the community better because they had ten on-duty officers to take care of issues in the entertainment district. During the initiative, police conducted 169 bar checks in 55 establishments, as well as 207 traffic enforcement actions, Olin said. Olin said the bar checks led to increased safety within the establishments and the owners were cooperative overall. Olin also mentioned that patrons interviewed expressed feelings of safety and satisfaction in Downtown Lawrence. Olin described some Lawrence residents as "happy citizens" in the downtown area, but said the overall disturbance in the area was much less. Ward said the city will continue its random compliance checks throughout 2008, in order to decrease selling to minors and curb alcohol violations. Fake IDs may become a thing of the past in this college town.

"I was afraid every night and finally I did a runner with two older boys." The abuse allegations and the grisly discovery Saturday of a child's remains have punctured the idyllic image of this British island off the coast of France. That has been replaced by grim images of Haut de la Garenne, an austere structure set on a cliff overlooking stormy seas, where victims say the people in charge treated children as captives to be tortured, raped and cast aside.

"Our objective is clear. Our mission is clear and there is no timetable ... until the terrorist bases are eliminated," he said shortly after arriving in the capital at the helm of a delegation to discuss the military action. ANKARA, Turkey — Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday that Turkey should remove its troops from northern Iraq in the next few days, sending a strong message that U.S. patience is running out on the operation targeting Kurdish insurgents. Gates said he would ask Turkish leaders in a series of meetings Thursday to address some of the complaints of the Kurds, and move from combat to economic and political initiatives to solve differences with them. "It's very important that the Turks make this operation as short as possible and then leave," Gates said late Wednesday from India before heading to Turkey. "They have to be mindful of Iraqi sovereignty. I measure quick in terms of days, a week or two, something like that, not months." MIDDLE EAST Gates sends message to Turkey MANAGEMENT CAREERS AND INTERNSHIPS ASSOCIATED PRESS It was the first time that the Pentagon chief put any time limit on the Turkish incursion launched into Iraq last Thursday against separatist rebels from the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK. The rebels are fighting for autonomy in the largely Kurdish region of southeastern Turkey, and have carried out attacks from northern Iraq. Overnight, Turkish troops killed more than 70 Kurdish rebels, the Turkish military said. A Turkish official insisted that the aim of a military incursion into northern Iraq "is clear and limited" against Kurdish rebels and said no timetable will be set "until the terrorist bases are eliminated."

Kansas conquers ISU Jayhawks blow away Cyclones with 75-64 victory in Iowa MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com AMES, Iowa - Russell Robinson is watching the calendar with extra interest the past week. March is approaching. Lately, his Kansas team hadn't been looking like they were ready for the ensuing month of madness. The Jayhawks were defeated in recent road losses to Oklahoma State and Texas. A better performance was necessary at Iowa State. "March is right around the corner, a couple days away," Robinson said. "This is crunch time for us now. We have to turn around and start playing our best basketball." Kansas made progress, defeating the Cyclones 75-64 Wednesday night at Hilton Coliseum. Instead of falling apart like they did in recent away games against the Cowboys and Longhorns, the Jayhawks (25-3, 10-3) showed some toughness and a sense of urgency when Iowa State made runs in the second half. "When you're 24 and three," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "you shouldn't need to say the ship needs righting, but our players all knew that it did, and we felt it did, too." Jayhawks let the Cyclones back into the game early in the second. Iowa State cut a 13-point Kansas lead to six just after intermission. If the Jayhawks continued to let the Cyclones play like they did those first two minutes, the game could've easily turned in favor of Iowa State.

SEE RAINS ON PAGE 6B 4 Turnover trend dooms the Jayhawks to defeat WOMEN'S BASKETBALL BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com Turnovers plagued Kansas the entire season, as evidenced by its Big 12 worst 19.8 turnovers per game. The difference between wins and losses for coach Bonnie Henrickson's team has been what the opponent does with those giveaways. Wednesday night Texas turned these free possessions into 21 points, which was enough to get past Kansas 57-53. "Every mistake we made, they made us pay, but when we made them make a mistake we couldn't make them pay. That was the difference in the game," sophomore guard Sade Morris said. Kansas' last victory was on Feb. 17 against Nebraska, a game in which sophomore guard Danielle McCray drove to the rim and drew a blocking foul with 1.4 seconds left. Wednesday night the Jayhawks were down 55-53 with 13 seconds left. They were looking for a replay of some late-game McCray heroes, but this time officials whistled her for a charge. Then, a pair of Longhorn free throws put the game away. "When I went up I didn't see anyone but I guess they called it as I was coming down." McCray said of the play. "I should have pulled up because it was wide open from the free throw line." Weston White/KANSAN Henrickson said that was exactly what she told her leader in the huddle but McCray didn't follow her instructions. KANS 14 "Right now she's not a very good decision-maker off the dribble," Henrickson said. "She sees the rim and she doesn't see anybody around the rim." McCray's charge wasn't the only late call to go against Kansas. McCray had a team high 19 points and 10 rebounds. She tallied her sixth double-dou With 1:23 left, about six players from both teams chased a loose ball to the Jayhawk bench and a Longhorn appeared to knock the ball out of bounds. However, none of the referees felt confident enough to make a call and ruled it a jump ball - with the possession arrow in favor of Texas. "It's hard to believe three people make pretty good money and nobody could figure it out," Henrickson said. The Jayhawks (15-12, 4-10) failed to put themselves in a good position even before that call largely because their two stars - McCray and freshman center Krysten Bogaard - were ineffective down the stretch. Sophomore forward Danielle McCray drives through the lane with less than 30 seconds left on the clock and down by two points. McCray was called for a charge on the play, giving the ball back to the Longhorns who capitized on two freethrows. The Jayhawks dropped their third game in a row losing 57-53 Wednesday night. ble of the year, but only four of those points came in the second half. Boogaard performed poorly. She barely scraped together 10 points and shot a measly 3-for-11. "No presence, absolutely not a factor," Henrick said of Boogaard. "No balance, no power position, she doesn't box out - nothing. She, right now, has got absolutely not an ounce of focus to box out." Guard LaChelda jacobs played solid offensively, sprinting to the basket for eight points thanks to 4-of-4 shooting from the field. The sophomore was also one of three Jayhawks to turn the ball over at least four times. . Turnovers plus the lack of intensity in the second half cost Kansas its last three games (and even more earlier this season). This trend of costly and foolish mistakes made Henrickson as upset as she's been all season. "It's the same mistakes and that's frustrating. Henrickson said. "It's the definition of insanity; expect a different result but do the same thing everyday. That makes no sense to me."

Hile's mentor, Elle Pottorf, has been a large influence in her transition. KU College play not a challenge for catcher BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com All freshmen have to adapt in their first year of college and college athletes are no different. Freshman catcher Brittany Hile said she already understood the differences in competition level from high school to college. Hile splits time with junior catcher Elle Pottorf behind the plate for the University of Kansas softball team. Hile was in the starting line-up for 15 of the Jayhawks' 16 games so far this season. She said the biggest difference between high school and college competition was the mental part of the game. "You have to be in the game all the time, every time." Hile said. Hile said she was predisposed to softball because her brother was always involved in sports. Hile said her family moved a lot when she was growing up and she lived in both Minnesota and Florida at different points in her life. When her family settled in Kansas, Hile said that being close to home influenced her choice to play softball for the Jayhawks. "Before I could actually play, I was always running around the fields with him," Hile said. She admitted she always had either a basketball or a glove with her so she could play sports. Hile said she tried to adapt to the college game by communicating and learning from the upperclassmen on the team and from the coaches. Hile said while playing behind Potorf she tried to learn from her work ethic. "She's really pushed me to become a better catcher." Hile said. 4 SEE SOFTBALL ON PAGE 6B 14 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY,FEBRUARY 28,2008 NHL Colorado player skates for first time this season VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Peter Forsberg skated with the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday for the first time since his surprise signing and return to the NHL two days earlier. Forsberg, who traveled to Vancouver from his native Sweden, skated for close to an hour, but is not expected to play against the Canucks on Wednesday night.

Late-game pitching leads to loss Arkansas defeats Kansas 2-1 after five scoreless innings SHAWN SHROYER sshroyer@kansan.com Nothing comes back to bite a pitcher like walking a leadoff hitter. Nobody knows that better now than Wally Marceli. After pitching five scoreless innings yesterday, Marciel, Kansas' sophomore left-hander, committed the ultimate pitcher no- by walking Arkansas catcher Ryan Cisterna to lead off the sixth. Five batters later, third baseman Logan Forsythe and left fielder Casey Coon crossed the plate for the Razorbacks only two runs. These runs were enough to send Kansas (2-1) 4) home with a 2-1 loss. struck out. "We pitched absolutely fabulous today. We just struggled with the bats." Marciol too ran into trouble in the bottom of the fourth after allowing a leadoff double to Coon. The next batter, first baseman Andy Wilkins, made a double play to neutralize the threat. "I was very pleased with the way we played today," coach Ritch Price said. "We pitched absolutely fabulous today. We just struggled with the bats." During the top of the fourth, Kansas senior left fielder John Allman nearly turned a leadoff walk into offense. Allman then stole second and advanced to third on a Cisterna throwing error. However, Allman was stranded on third as the next three batters behind him Offense was sparse for both squads as Marcel (1-1) and Arkansas (4-0) right-hander James Mahler gave up only one hit each through the first three innings. Following Kansas' one-man rally in the fourth, Arkansas right-hander Mike Bolsinger (1-0) took the mound and dominated Kansas in the next two innings with five strikeouts. Bolsinger and Mahler combined for 11 of Arkansas' 16 strikeouts on the afternoon. RITCH PRICE Men's baseball coach "It's a byproduct of not being able to get outside and there's no doubt we're behind right now," Price said. tle momentum on their side after Bolsinger entered the game, the Razorbacks took advantage of the last good chance Marciel gave them to score. Two batters after Cisterna's leadoff walk in the sixth, the rally began. No sooner than Cisterna advanced to second on a wild pitch, Forsythe moved him to third with a single and Cisterna then stole second to move himself into scoring position. Ultimately, Cisterna was nabbed by a fielder's choice at home on a ball hit by Coon, but Forsythe and Coon were able to move into scoring position on the play. With two outs, Marciel walked Wilkins to set up a force play at every base. However, the plan fell short when center fielder Brett Eibner singled to left field, sending Forsythe and Coon home for the deciding runs. Marciel's afternoon was done after 5.2 innings pitched, two runs allowed, three walks given up and two strikeouts. "He's an outstanding competitor," Price said. "That was a tremendous performance he turned in today. They're a legitimate, perennial top 25 program. If he can pitch that good against them today, he's got a chance to win 10-11 games for us before the season's over." Marciel's replacements, former Razorback sophomore right-hander Brett Bollman and junior right-hander Paul Smyth, pitched 2.1 perfect relief innings, but their pitching wasn't enough to ignite the Kansas bats. With Bolsinger in line for the victory, Arkansas dug deeper into its bullpen to keep Kansas on the ropes. Only because of Allman's runout of a double play in the eighth was Kansas able to score as Arkansas closer Travis Hill earned his second save of the season. While Price was disappointed, his offense wasn't more productive. He wasn't surprised either, considering how rarely Kansas has been able to play at game speed this season. "Literally, we're only in spring training is where we are at," Price said.

"I root for Iowa State because they're never a threat." —John McDonald, Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore — Megan Cattleman, Omaha, Neb., junior "It just depends on how much it affects our standings. If it's good for us that Texas wins, I'm going for them." FANS OF INDIVIDUALS ... These are the fans who root for a team because they like a coach or player on the team. - "Usually I would say that I cheer for Texas Tech, especially when Bob Knight was there because I really liked his history. — Mark Costanza Kansas City, Mo, Junior "This year I'm more of a fan of Augustin and Abrams and how good they are. I also like Rick Barnes and some of the teams he's had in the past." - Sean Stenger, Prairie Village sophomore IN-STATE FANS Some fans prefer to keep it all in the state.

Robinson gave a Sparknote account of Self's words, minus the screaming. KAL 3 BRACK 2 "The main thing was," Robinson said, "he wanted us to just focus in and get a good possession." Kansas delivered after the talk with a 16-4 run during the next five minutes. Iowa State came back again to pull within nine at the 4:04 mark, but Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur answered with quick baskets. KU's lead never fell to single digits after that. Chalmers and Arthur combined for 33 points, including 22 in the first half. Arthur especially shined in the first 20 minutes. After playing miserably against Oklahoma State, he put on an exhibition. The Cyclones tried guarding him one-on-one with little double-teaming. Not Senior guard Russell Robinson slashes between two Iowa State defenders on his way to the basket during the second half. Robinson scored five points, grabbed 10 boards, and dished out five assists while committing only two turnovers. "Part of the reason when you don't play well is you don't make shots. Tonight we made shots better than we have in three weeks." "Part of the reason when you don't play well is you don't make shots," Self said. "Tonight we made shots better than we have in three weeks." After the game, Rush called the victory "quality". It certainly was a better performance than the one Kansas gave in Saturday's loss, but Self said his team's victory didn't nec- a good idea. He scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds in that first half. Brandon Rush couldn't believe Iowa State didn't double-up on Arthur. Self had the players do extra shooting because of the poor marksmanship. Rush, Chalmers and other guards have all stayed 15 to 20 minutes after practice during the past two weeks to work on their outside game. It finally paid off. BILL SELF Kansas Men's Basketball coach "They shouldn't trapped the post," Rush said. "Still, the outcome would've been the same." KU's seven of 11 three-point shooting might have been one of the biggest reasons the Jayhawks didn't lose their third straight road game. Bad shooting has plagued Kansas for weeks. The Jayhawks made just six of 28 three-pointers in losses to Texas When Iowa State went to a zone for part of the second half, partially to slow down Arthur, Rush became the man. He made two of three shots from beyond the arc after the break and three for the game, the same amount Chalmers had. and Oklahoma State. essarily solve all their ills. After all, Iowa State is just 4-9 in conference, and the Cyclones' victories have come against league bottom-feeders Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma State. --- I don't know if we did or not," Self said about returning to a high level. "Only time will tell, but we were a better team than we were in the last three weeks." Self could find out on Saturday how much better his team is playing. Kansas has a rematch at home with Kansas State. Revenge and bragging rights will be on the line, but there's another reason the game will be important. It's in March. Is Kansas ready for Saturday's big game and even bigger games that will follow later in the month now that the Jayhawks have toughed out a solid road victory? Robinson thinks so. "You have to think as positive as you can," he said. Edited by Jared Duncan CHA Junior guard Mario Chalmers smiles before heading to the free-throw line after drawing a foul on a drive to the basket. Chalmers scored 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting from the floor, including 3-of-4 from three-point range. The Jayhawks hit 7-for-11 Wednesday night from behind the arc, an area they struggled in during their previous road losses.

Kansas improved to 25-3 overall and 10-3 in the conference with the victory. Arthur spurs road victory Jump shot revitalized team Ames, Iowa - It was the shot Iowa State coach Greg McDermott wanted. Iowa State started the second half with a 7-0 run, cutting the Kansas lead to 36-30. Bill Self called timeout. The Jayhawks seemed to be melting down again on the road again. Enter sophomore forward Darrell Arthur. Arthur just played his worst game of the season – an ugly six point, five foul effort against Oklahoma State on Saturday. It didn't seem to bother him. Arthur calmly stepped up and made a 15-foot jump shot. "To me that was the play of the game," McDermott said. "If he misses that, we go down and score, the momentum stays with us and it's a different game." Instead, Arthur's shot started an 8-0 run, and the Jayhawks grabbed a therapeutic road victory, after losing their last two conference games away from Allen Fieldhouse. The road was rocky for the Jayhawks all season long. They struggled in non-conference road victories against USC and Georgia, and were a pedestrian 3-3 on the road in the Big 12 before Wednesday. The surprise loss at Oklahoma State was the tipping point. Kansas had to endure a week of questions, as doubters and disbelievers emerged. Anybody wearing a Jayhawk uniform became a target for criticism. Don't count McDermott as one of those doubters. "I think they're the most complete team in the country," McDermott said, after Kansas defeated his Cyclones 75-64. The Jayhawks improved their conference road record to 4-3, and they did something else that they haven't done on the road; they made shots. "When they're shooting the ball, like they took 11 threes and they made seven of them, they're tough to beat," McDermott said. And when Kansas doesn't shoot the ball well on the road, they usually do get beat. In Kansas' road losses against Kansas State, Texas and Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks shot a combined 12 of 45 from the three-point line. "Had they shot the basketball the last couple of games on the road that they lost, like they did tonight," McDermott said, "I don't think they would have lost those games." Jon Goering/KANSAN Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush led the Jayhawks' outside shooting barrage. Rush and Chalmers were each 3-of-4 from behind the three-point line.

Kaun played 16 minutes and scored eight points Wednesday. Self said Kaun wasn't at 10 percent. The injury was bad news for Kaun, but he still received some good news this week. After Saturday's game, Kaun is now tied with Paul Moleski for 10th on the all-time blocks list. SHERRON'S KNEE Collins played minutes Wednesday night and scored seven points. Self said that Collins was still a shell of what he could be, but that he looked better than he has since hurting his knee. MCDERMOTT'S TAKE Kansas' depth, McDermott said, is a luxury he wouldn't mind having. Iowa State coach Greg McDermott's in his second season at Iowa State, and he's scrapped together these Cyclones with transfers, freshman and players from the old regime. Kansas coach Bill Self illustrated McDermott's point early in the second half. Frustrated Chalmers, Self sent Chalmers to the bench early in the second half. McDermott noticed "He wasn't happy with Mario Chalmers for whatever reason," McDermott said. Heck, I'd have liked him to play for us, if he wasn't happy with him."

After hoisting up bricks by the wheelbarrow against Oklahoma State, Kansas shot a scorching 63.6 percent from the three-point line. Senior guard Russell Robinson didn't contribute much offense - just five points. But the little man hit the glass with the ferocity of Darnell Jackson, and pulled down a career-high 10 rebounds. Sean Haluska The High/Low's choice for scrapiest player in the Big 12 is Iowa State's Sean Haluska. Seriously, the guy started the season 0-for-26 from the three-point line, so you know he needs some love. Can you imagine what missing 26 consecutive three-pointers would do to somebody's confidence? LOWS Iowa State students Poor showing at Hilton Colseum. The Cyclone students proved to be the least creative hecklers in the Big 12 Conference. Wit must be looked down upon in Ames, Iowa.

They disputed every call - right or wrong - vehemently, and even more disgracefully, they didn't even fill up Hilton Coliseum.

MLB Players, coaches wary of wearing helmets ASSOCIATED PRESS BY PAUL NEWBERRY AP NATIONAL WRITER KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Glenn Hubbard trotted on the field Wednesday wearing a helmet — and feeling downright ridiculous. "You know what it feels like?" he asked before a spring training game. "Look at that kid over there." Hubbard pointed toward a young batboy standing at the edge of the Atlanta Braves dugout, his head dutifully covered by a helmet. "That's what I feel like," Hubbard said, not bothering to hide the disgust in his voice. "A batboy." Actually, Hubbard is the first base coach of the Braves, a job he's always done with nothing more than a cap on his head. But last year's tragic death of minor league coach Mike Coolbaugh — the victim of a line drive to the neck — prompted the major leagues to take action. Now, the coaches standing along each foul line in the majors must wear some sort of protective headgear. So Hubbard and Atlanta's third base coach, Brian Snitker, carried out their duties during an exhibition game against the University of Georgia wearing "skullcaps" — baseball slang for the flapless helmets that catchers wear along with their masks. "It's like the one I used to wear in high school and college," said Snitker, a former catcher. "It seems a little tight. It doesn't feel like it's shaped to my head anymore. But it's one of those things if we've got to do it, we've got to do it." Hubbard wasn't so maganianous about the mandate from higher up. He even threatened to adorn his helmet with advertising, like a NASCAR racer. "We should have a choice in these NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION is excited to announce the 2008-2009 Orientation Assistant Team!

Positioned along the first and third base lines, they try to keep "How can you not appreciate Major League Baseball being concerned with our safety?" said Mike Gallego, a former infielder and now third base coach of the Rockies. "I mean, it's a safety precaution. And I know my wife and kids are happier that I have it on. There's no doubt, it's very dangerous out there." still the only big leaguer to be killed in a game, leading to the development of batting helmets.

Paid for by KU It's a tough balancing act, which can potentially turn painful when someone sends a vicious liner one eye on the hitter while also passing along signals, instructing baserunners and monitoring the defense. Coolbaugh, who was coaching first for the Double-A Tulsa Drillers, died last July after being hit with a line drive right below the left ear, causing a key blood vessel to burst. The issue is especially sensitive for the defendingNL champion Colorado Rockies, since the Drillers are one of their minor league affiliates. down either foul line or a broken bat goes flying through the air. Coaches don't have a glove to protect themselves, and since most are older explayers, the reflexes tend to be a little slower than they were in their youth. down the line so he can pick up balls hit to the outfield and have the runners in his line of sight if he needs to wave them home. He usually stands with his back to the plate until right before the pitch is thrown. "You try to slow things down," he said. "You go over it first in your mind, then just kind of let your instincts take over. Sometimes I'm right. Sometimes I'm wrong." Luis Alicea, Boston's first base coach, said it's easy for the mind to drift between pitches, especially when no one's on base. Coaches wind up looking toward the fielders instead of the hitter. They stroll in a little closer to the plate than they need to be. Third base coaches are especially at risk, since they tend to move even closer to home plate when there are runners on base, perhaps no more than 50 or 60 feet away from the hitter. Snitker, for instance, likes to ease Coolbaugh's death certainly made them take another look. "What came to mind was being more aware of the situation, paying more attention, really making sure that your eyes are locked in on the hitter at all times, because sometimes you get a little lax and you look around and I think you lose focus of where you're standing," Alicea said. "At all times, you're in danger." No matter how many precautions they take, coaches get used to the idea of being hit by the ball several times a season. They never forget the ones that hurt the most. "I got hit right here during spring training," Hubbard said. "Marcus Giles, a right-handed hitter, hit one of those line drives. It caught me right in the thigh." 52ND ANNUAL Snyder Book Collectioning Contest Sponsored by KU Libraries and Oread Books First Prize - $600 Second Prize - $400 Honorable Mention - $100 Awards will be offered in both graduate and undergraduate divisions.

"It's too bad they waited until someone was killed," Cruz said. "A lot of the guys have come close to getting killed." Glenallen Hill didn't need baseball to issue a mandate on helmets. The Rockies first base coach put one on right after Coolbaugh was killed "Even though it's a small upgrade, percentage-wise in protection for the coaches, it's an upgrade" Hill said. "It took me about three days of just getting used to having it on. But after three days, it was just fine." Everyone seems to agree on one thing: Baseball shouldn't stop at protecting the coaches on the field. What about the guys in the dug-out? What about the fans sitting in the lower decks? What about the umpires? "I know the fans along the foul lines and above the dugouts are pretty exposed," Hill said. "Every year someone gets hit. Every time a ball shoots over the dugout or gets pulled down the line, there's a sick feeling that happens to my stomach, and it's (the same) every single time. Every single time."

The team was not able to defend its 2007 All American Golf Classic team title. "The golf course played hard today, but we made it look harder than it really was," said coach Kit Grove on Tuesday. "It was disappointing to see the guys let the course and conditions get the best of them." After the first two rounds of golf on Monday, Kansas stood at 10th place with a team score of 606. Through the first two rounds, freshmen Brad Hopfinger and Nate Barbee led the team. Impressively, Hofinger had his fourth under-par round this season to start the day with a score of 70. He finished the first two rounds tied for 8th place with a score of 147. Barbee played consistently on Monday scoring a 149 and finishing tied for 19th place after two rounds. "Nate really showed a lot of heart late in the day today birding four of his last six holes," said Grove on Monday. Starting the third round Tuesday, the Jayhawks were nine strokes behind then first place University of Arkansas-Little Rock. Playing in windy conditions, Kansas finished the day with a team score of 320. Barbee finished the third round with a score of 77, giving him his second top-20 finish of his career. "I played alright," said Barbee. "I had a lot of things to improve on, but it's still early in the season." Hopfinger, seeking his fifth top 30 finish in his first six outings, finished tied for 41st place with a third round score of 85. Making his debut for the Jayhawks, Wichita State transfer junior Brandon Hermreck finished the tournament with a three-round score of 229. Hermreck had not competed since the 2006-2007 season at Wichita State. "I'm just getting into the groove of things," said Hermreck. "I made a lot of mental errors, but that's no excuse for the way I played." Also competing were sophomore Bobby Knowles and junior Walt Koelbel. Knowles finished the tournament tied for 58th place with a score of 239 and Koelbel tied for 59th place with a score of 241. Competing as an individual, junior Joey Mundy finished in 58th place with a score of 238, highlighted by a third round score of 73.

"This is an area where federal legislation is not necessary," Stern told the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection. As big as Wednesday's hearing was — it produced the rare sight of the four commissioners and their respective sports' union heads sitting at the same table — it was upstaged by news from another panel. The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform asked the Justice Department to investigate whether Roger Clemens lied under oath when he denied using steroids and human growth hormone at a Feb. 5 sworn deposition and at a Feb. 13 hearing.

Weston White/KANSAN Junior forward Marija Zinic throws her head into her hands after the Longhorns tied the game at 53. The Jayhawks, despite a seven-point lead at the half, lost 57-53 during the final moments of the game Wednesday night. Jayhawks slide in second half For the third consecutive game, a second half collapse left Kansas searching again for a fifth Big 12 Conference victory. Texas overcame a seven-point deficit at the half to take its first lead with three minutes remaining, eventually holding on for a 57-53 victory. The Jayhawks turned the ball over 10 times in the second half, squandering a spectacular first half performance by sophomore guard Danielle McCray and perhaps ending their hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid. The loss left Coach Bonnie Henrickson disappointed and puzzled by her team's inability to stay focused for 40 minutes. "It's frustrating," Henrickson said. "If I had the answer, we wouldn't keep doing it." Though her 19 points and 10 rebounds paced Kansas, McCray said it was disheartening to come so close and once again come away empty handed. The talented sophomore scored 15 points on 6 of 12 shooting in the first half, but the Longhorns held the Jayhawks go-to scorer in check when it mattered most. "It seems like we do everything right in the first half and follow the game plan," McCray said. "Then the second half comes and it seems like we are in a whole new place" Henrickson said her message to her team at the break was simple. If they protected the basketball and limited lost possessions, a victory was theirs. Initially it looked as though the Jayhawks would take Henrickson's message to heart. Kansas maintained its seven-point halftime lead for the first four minutes, but lackadaisal play eventually took its toll as Texas gradually chipped away at the lead. Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence!

K-STATE Granada editor's note YOUNG WOMEN IN THE WORLD My mom put me in my first dance class when I was 3 years old. One of my earliest memories is dancing to Janet jackson songs in my bedroom and deciding right then that I wanted to dance forever. For the next 15 years, rarely a day passed that I didn't dance. I traveled around the country to take classes and compete. I loved rehearsing for hours, steam building at the edge of the mirrors in the studio. I turned and leaped until it felt like the skin on my toes had worn away, and even then I never wanted to stop. To this day I've never felt a rush quite like being on stage dancing. Yet when the time came to go to college and choose a career, dancing never crossed my mind. Deep down, I knew I wasn't cut out for a dancer's life—a life of endless auditions and sore feet. Read Jessie's story on page 7 about students who did decide to pursue their passions for dance and other fine arts in college, and how they plan to parlay their creative tendencies into their future jobs. I'll always consider myself a dancer, and often, when my roommate is gone, I slip on my flat ballet shoes and dance, taking special care not to crash into any furniture. - Megan Hirt, associate editor On the cover: Photo/Alex Bonham-Carter jayplayers EDITOR LEAP FROG Dani Hurst ASSOCIATE EDITOR● QUANTUM LEAP Megan Hirt DESIGNERS$LEAPIN' LIZARDS Brenna Hawley Bryan Marvin Peyton Baldwin Josh Patterson Dianne Smith CONTACT •HELP YOURSELF Jessie Fetterling Gina Souders HEALTHGOOD FOR YOU Jeff Briscoe Kaitlyn Syring NOTICE•TAKE NOTE OF IT FAIR NOTE OF CHRIS Bell Rebekah Scaperlanda Elise Stawarz PLAY OUT AND ABOUT PLAY®OUT AND ABOUT Travis Brown Joe Hunt Deepa Sampat CREATIVE CONSULTANT KNOWS A LOT Carol Holstead WRITE TO US jayplay08@gmail.com JAYPLAY The University Daily Kansan 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall 1435 Jawhack Blvd. Lawrence, KS 66045 (785) 864-4810 ... 02 02.28.2008 VOL:5195-22 NOTE: In celebration of the leap year and Feb. 29 tomorrow, all of this week's facts are about various notable occurrences throughout history that all happened on Feb. 29! where it's at february 28 "The Cover of Life."

The game combines music and gameplay in a whole new way. Fitterer says. After booting up the game and choosing a character, you get to select a song of your choice from your PC's music library.The song you pick determines the speed, shape and traffic congestion of the racetrack. The goal is to run into objects of the same color along the way to make combos and earn points, which are tracked on a global leader board. Competition for the top rank is fierce, but if you get kicked from the No.1 spot, the game even emails you to fill you in. If you can't find the perfect song for your ride, Fitterer suggests Daft Punk for an exciting race, or Tool for a longer experience.

There are S3 bells in the tower, accessible only by a narrow, dark, winding staircase of 76 stairs in the northeast corner. On the outside, the Campanile is a simple, tall beige tower, but on the inside it's much more complex. After crossing the usually locked doors in the entryway, and walking up several flights of a very tight, very dark spiral staircase, a visitor is confronted with a concrete landing and the practice room for the carillon, a system of bells housed inside the Campanile. Inside the practice room are the first of two carillons. A carillon is an organ-like instrument made largely of wood. Its handles and pedals are attached to large bells of varying sizes and the lower the note, the harder it is to push the handle or pedal down because of the amount of force required to ring the bell. These are not hooked up to the 53 huge bells above, but are used for students who are learning the instrument to practice. There are two undergraduate classes for learning to play the carillon, and there's also a graduate program that currently has two students in it. Despite it being a music class, Elizabeth Berghoug, University carillonneur and assistant professor of carillon ALEXANDRA The Carillon, an instrument that chimes the bells of the Campanile, much like a church organ. and organ, says that students come from all majors. This semester, most of her students are from the engineering department. She says many are upperclassman who finally have time in their schedules to take one of the courses. Students who tend to succeed in class are ones who have a strong background in keyboard because, as Arcata, Calif., junior Maggee Van Speybroeck explains it, the layout is similar to a piano, but the keys are replaced by wooden handles and, like the organ, there are foot pedals as well. When looking at sheet music, the top line of music is shared by both hands and the bottom line is for the feet. The World War II army rangers had a reunion in 2006, and Berghout played a concert for them made up of music from the 1940s. She says it's one of her favorite performances to date, and she has many. She plays a concert every Sunday at 5 p.m. for whoever might be near enough to hear, and during the summer months, she plays on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Though she enjoys performing, it is much different than most musica Students like Van Speybroeck have been at the helm since the Campanile was built in 1950. Classes have been offered every year since its construction.The Campanile was built with contributions from more than 8,000 donors, and made as a World War II memorial to honor the 277 students and faculty who died during the war.Those veterans' names are displayed in the entryway of the Campanile, along with a list of donor names and the saying "Free government does not bestow repose upon its citizens but sets them in the vanguard of battle to defend the liberty of every man." The saying circles the top of the entryway and, like the veterans' names, is engraved in stone. performances. "It's a public instrument, but when you're up there alone, you forget that everyone else hears the bells too," Van Speybroeck says. Adam Diskin usually remembers that others are listening to him because of his fear of messing up.The Overland Park sophomore, who's studying communications, became interested in learning to play after talking with a friend in the course. He had a keyboard background and thought the course would be fun, which it turned out to be. Two hours of practice are required outside of class, and playing a song incorrectly can be stressful,"Especially when it's the Alma Mater." Diskin says. He enjoys playing his favorite music, such as Coldplay's "Clocks" and the Super Mario Brothers theme, by ear. The strains of music may have changed from religious hymns to popular music, but the draw of the Campanile and carillon is as strong as ever.

House was a member of Sigma Nu, and the fraternity was having a big party with a live band. One of his friends was dating a friend of Strong's, and all four of them began chatting at the party. "She would actually laugh at my jokes," House says. The conversation soon led to dancing and an exchange of phone numbers. Two days later was Valentine's Day, so House called Strong to ask her on a date with the couple that had arranged their talk-dance-phone number exchange at the party. All four went to the restaurant Mad Greek for their Valentine's Day double-date. Strong and House kept in contact after that night and gradually built a relationship.

Hertel plans to pursue a career in fashion jewelry after she graduates. By Jessie Fetterling jfetterling@kansan.com Morgan Fogarty, Chicago alum, considered many fields of study before deciding to major in dance. She thought about becoming a nurse or a dentist, but finally she decided she just wanted to do what she was good at, and for her, that meant dancing. After graduating last May, Fogarty moved to New York City with a friend and lived at a YMCA for two weeks before finding an apartment, which she describes as "lame and shitty." She now works at both a restaurant and at Broadway Dance Center dance studio, where she makes ID cards. Fogarty says she gets distracted easily by the big city, but she still goes on about six auditions a month, hoping to catch her big break and work as a professional dancer. Although Fogarty is interested in modern dance, she has auditioned for jobs in a variety of dance genres, including a musical called "Sex, Drugs, and Ukuleles." Fogarty keeps a positive attitude toward auditions despite facing rejection."Most of the times it's about the look," Fogarty says. "It's better to go on a lot of auditions because one day you will most likely be what they are looking for." Philip Voetsche, a professional jeweler and professor of computer-aided design, has also had to keep a positive attitude toward his work. Like Fogarty, Voetsche wanted to strike out into his field and design immediately after he graduated from KU in 1976. He too went to New York City and even to the iconic jewelry company Tiffany & Co., where the staff told him to come back when his hair was gray. Voetsche later moved to Gardner, Kan., to work for a jeweler and start from the ground up. He worked for a couple more companies before he became an independent contractor, and Voetsche now owns his own store in Prairie Village, Kan., called Jewelry by Design. Voetsche's daughter, Erica, and Kaylin Hertel. Leawood juniors, also want to pursue careers in jewelry. They both discovered a passion for jewelry when they studied it in high school and knew from then that jewelry design and metalsmithing is what they wanted to do.

Voetches has already had her own art show and sold several of her pieces, and a socket Hertel designed was recently accepted into an exhibition in New York called "Exploring Boundaries." Kevin Finch, San Antonio senior, knew he wanted to major in art ever since he designed and raced derby cars in Boy Scouts. He found an outlet for his artistic interests in industrial design, which he describes as designing products. In this field, Finch has designed products like watches to furniture. Instead of reading Locke's Two Treatises of Government or cramming for macroeconomics tests, Finch and his peers have been studying Da Vinci and designing up to 75 concepts per project to fulfill their major requirements. "It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do," Finch says, "I pull all-nighters all the time and am never at home." All three students plan on doing something with art after they graduate.Voetsche wants to work in the jewelry business, either becoming a retail jeweler or just doing her craft from home.Hertel hopes to get into the fashion industry and work on fashion jewelry,and Finch would like to design the interiors of boats. Whether it's through dance, jewelry or product design, these artists have managed to follow their dreams. As Professor Voetsche says, "You'll never have to work a day in your life if you love what you do." And for these five, that's just what they're doing. Mary E.

By Lauren Keith When throwing something away, most people do not usually think about the final destination. Where exactly is "away"? For most of northeast Kansas, "away" is about 10 miles north of Lawrence, just past the Jefferson County line. Tucked away on 360 acres behind limestone quarries and rows of trees is the Hamm landfill, the final resting place of the University's trash. How could it be that the average American generates a pound of trash daily, but KU students are only producing one-tenth of that? Sedlock says the amount of trash generated per person has decreased because of recycling. Even though the landfill serves more customers, Sedlock says the amount of waste coming in has plateaued during the last five years. PARK Current statistics show that an average American produces a little more than 7 pounds of trash every week. Charlie Sedlock, division manager for Hamm Waste Services, estimates that KU Facilities Operations hauls in about 40 tons per month. He says this number changes seasonally, but this averages out to about 3 pounds of trash per student every month. Enter the ubiquitous blue recycling bins that litter campus. Even as a waste company, Sedlock says Hamm Waste Services has a vested interest in seeing cost-effective and well reasoned recycling programs succeed. "Disposal is the cheapest option, but not necessarily the only option," he says. "It's more of a philosophical question. If the citizenry that our clients are serving want some sort of recycling program and our client is able to do that in a cost-effective manner, we think it's a win-win situation. If they aren't serving their citizens, then multi-national corporations can come in and take control." Although many picture the surface of the landfill as a liquefied mess of diapers and yard clippings, the ground is actually hard, and the landfill appears to be filled with discarded paper products. Sedlock says the largest percentage of waste coming in is paper products, such as cardboard. All paper products can be recycled, and the City of Lawrence is doing a better job of advertising this, but Sedlock says that by the time they get to The University's trash ends up here. the landfill, they are beyond being returned to the blue bins. "It's not an environment for recycling by the time it gets here." Sedlock says. When trash is dumped, the pressure that accumulates from the weight of the trash above does not allow it to break down and biodegrade. "It becomes mummified trash," Sedlock says."I can show you a banana peel from the day you were born or a yellowed newspaper from 1984." According to the Environmental Protection Agency, landfills are the No.1 source of methane, a greenhouse gas that is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Sedlock says waste produces a mixture of gases for about 20 years after it is discarded, peaking like a bell curve in the middle of the life cycle. He says a fair share of gas passively vents from the landfill, but it is required to meet regulatory EPA thresholds. However, a promising aspect of methane is the fact that it is one of the few greenhouse gases that can be harnessed to create energy. Sedlock says Hamm Waste Services will look into converting emitted methane into energy, but the current system lacks a way to transport that energy. It seems like Lawrence has overcome the hurdle of creating an effective recycling program, but it was disheartening to see that the majority of the waste in the landfill could have been recycled. Residents in the northeastern part of the state have obviously decreased the flow of waste going into the landfill, but the city and the University should look into mandatory recycling programs that would cut this back even more. We can't trash-talk recycling any longer. With recycling bins and other trash alternatives available nearly everywhere, there's no excuse not to clean up your act. 2 Margaritas For $2.29 This Only Happens Once Every Four Years Thursday Saturday Sunday FIESTA Room Reservations AVAILABLE 815 New Hampshire St. “See you tomorrow” Ciellito drumming mass 0 08 02.28.2008 VOL.5 ISS.22 interesting fact: Feb.29, 1956: President Eisenhower announces he will seek a second term. —www.brainyhistory.com Contact the writer Ikeith@kansan.com Photo by: Lauren Keith What's behind those sudden interruptions of your sweet slumber A CASE OF THE JEWELS? By Kaitlyn Syring ksyring@kansan.com Stacy Watson wakes up with a jolt. Her heart is pounding, and she vaguely remembers that in her dream, she was falling. She sighs and lays her head back down on her pillow. Frustrated, she thinks about the dark circles she'll have under her eyes tomorrow—a clear sign that she had a sleepless night. Unfortunately, jolting awake during sleep is not an uncommon experience. Watson, Topeka senior, is one of millions of people who jerk awake during sleep or right before falling asleep. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 60 to 70 percent of Americans experience this jerking motion, called a hypnic or hypnagogic jerk. The latest research on hypnic jerks reveals a wide range of potential causes, ranging from anxiety to caffeine. Barbara Heinz, a technician in the Sleep Disorders Center at the KU Medical Center, says the exact cause of hypnic jerking isn't clear, but hypnic jerks, also called sleep starts, happen most often when a person is just preparing to fall asleep. During this time, some sleep-seekers experience the sensation of falling."The brain actually thinks the body is falling." Heinz says. The jerking motion is thus caused by the muscles of the body trying to relax before sleep and the brain misinterpreting this muscle relaxation as falling. To keep from falling down, the brain sends an immediate signal to the arms and legs to jerk back upright. Heinz says such jerking while dozing off is a phenomenon that just seems to accompany the natural sleep process. But when jerks happen during a deep sleep, the causes are different. Snoring, breathing problems, teeth grinding, leg cramps and even nightmares can cause a person to jerk during deep sleep, Heinz says. Marianne Middleton, clinical coordinator at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Sleep Disorders Center, says the occurrence of hypnic jerk can become cyclical. If you lose sleep because you constantly jerk awake, you will become fatigued and may develop anxiety or worry about falling asleep. The more worried and tired you are, the more likely you are to jerk awake. The more you jerk awake, the more sleep you lose. Thus the cycle. Middleton says this process makes it even harder for the brain to distinguish between whether the body is relaxing for sleep or falling down. When you have sleep anxiety, she says, the muscles continually attempt to relax and shut down for rest, while your brain remains awake. This creates continued misinterpretations of falling or loss of balance. Hypnic jerks can also occur when a person has had a lot of caffeine or completes strenuous activities in the evening, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Both make it harder for your body to move through the natural motions of falling asleep. The Academy also cites emotional stress as a potential cause of hypnic jerking. If you are stressed about school, work or your social life, it is more difficult to doze. You lie in bed feeling. like your brain is refusing to shut off. The chances of having a hypnic jerk increase if this goes on too long. Emotional stress functions much like sleep anxiety as a cause for hypnic jerks. Kynan Gibson, Salina senior, says he jerks awake about once a week. He says he thinks this happens more often when he is stressed about finishing homework or when he has been sleeping poorly. Gibson says it's frustrating because it takes him at least half an hour to fall asleep, and after twitching awake, he'll lie in bed for almost an hour trying to go back to sleep. The next day, he says, he feels like he hardly slept at all. Though there is no cure, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine has several suggestions about what you can do to prevent jerking awake. All these factors contribute to better "sleep hygiene," or a healthier, more effective sleeping routine. Among these are devoting at least eight hours to sleeping each night, getting up at the same time each morning and setting aside some time for yourself each evening to do a calming activity like reading or taking a warm bath to wind down. Stacy Watson rubs her eyes and says she plans on adjusting her routine before bed. She says she is going to make time to relax each evening to help her sleep,"I think I deserve a bubble bath tonight." Watson says. for Better Sleep Hygiene The idea behind sleep hygiene is the same as Make your bedroom dark quiet and cool. personal hygiene.You make habits that keep you healthy.Try the following things to improve your sleep hygiene: T Don't go to bed unless you're tired. re Avoid taking naps if you can.

Students of the varying styles run themselves ragged during every practice, pushing themselves to the limits of their endurance and then a little bit farther for good measure. This high-intensity training can build strength, tone muscles and increase the body's overall power. Most people will also recognize martial arts as a form of self-defense training. You may be surprised to discover, however, that the stressful and difficult training regimen can help to actually reduce stress. his stress, Earl, Overland Park junior, says karate practice really helps when the monotony of school and routine gets you down. The katas help you to clear your mind, focusing on balance, mental focus Everyone has to deal with stress every single day, whether it's worrying about a sick friend or family member or trying to get that five-page paper done with one hour left before class. While martial arts may not focus on stress relief, Laura Thatcher, president of the KU Karate Club, says that it's just one of those benefits you get without realizing it. the focus becomes your body," she says. Focusing all your energy into the different exercises, you naturally start focusing on the fighting and not the other issues that are stressing you out."I think that Thatcher, Overland Park senior, started the Karate Club two years ago and serves as the main instructor. She says that stress relief comes naturally with martial arts practice."You have to think, and "I can just let go and do my thing. I feel completely drained at the end,but I feel relieved." Alex Earl, Overland Park junior and vice president of the KU Karate Club just takes a lot of stress off in itself," Thatcher says Practices are very structured, starting out with drills to practice different styles of punches and kicks. This is followed by practicing extended sequences of punches and kicks, called kata. Kata and bunkai, a kata performed with a partner, are a major focus of a typical Karate Club meeting. This is usually followed by sparring, with students getting a chance to spar with everyone else in the room. Alex Earl, vice president of the Karate Club, says he enjoys going to karate practice to reduce and precision. Sparring also plays a powerful role in stress reduction, allowing you to get all your pent-up aggression out." I can just let go and do my thing." Earl says. "I feel completely drained at the end, but I feel relieved." Tae Kwon Do Club meetings follow a similar structure, with every kick or sequence going off at the call of the instructor. There's also a heavy concentration on practice with a partner using pads. The workout becomes more intense with each repetition. The pace increases each time, as well as the length of the sequences. By the end of the night, everyone looks exhausted, but the stresses of the day are no longer on their minds. "It's an outlet for all the pent-up energy that goes with stress," says Miriam Maples, president of the KU Tae Kwon Do club. "After a good workout, I sleep much better." Maples, Lawrence senior, said that tae kwon do practice helped her deal with the death of her grandfather. She says that she wasn't sure if she should go to practice after she found out, but decided to go anyway. She says that attending was the right decision, as it allowed her a release that she couldn't get anywhere else. We all deal with stress differently, and martial arts may not be the way to go for everybody. However, it does provide a break from all the stress of the day by forcing you to focus on your performance over everything else. John Jenkins, assistant instructor for the Tae Kwon Do club, says it's like a vacation from all the stress that goes with school. "When I'm done, I'm amazingly relaxed," he says, adding that the positive environment of practice is also really refreshing. ... 10 02.28.2008 VOL.5 ISS.22 for more information: www.recreation.ku.edu/programs/sport_clubs/current_clubs.shtml. Photo by: Rachel Arne Seymour Living through Lent The personal sacrifices made by KU students By Gina Souders gsouders@kansan.com Glenda Hernandez was enjoying snorkeling, pausingalling, shopping and lazing about the white sandy Walkiki beaches in Oahu, Hawaii. It was spring break and Hernandez, Emporia senior, was enjoying her time off with some friends in her temporary paradise. While on vacation she and her friends attended a traditional Hawaiian luau. It was set on a beautiful, private island and consisted of hula dancers, a large banquet, and fancy island drinks. Hernandez sat watching her friends have fun getting drunk off the tropical beverages and listened as they teased her for not drinking with them. She wanted to join in, but she couldn't. She wouldn't. Easter Sunday was less than a week away, and she had given up alcohol for Lent. Lent is the 40-day period of prayer, penance and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday. It is traditionally observed by Catholics and it commemorates the biblical story of the 40 days Jesus spent fighting temptation in the wilderness before he began his public ministry. Originally, Lent was a time for fasting, says Paul Mirecki, professor of religion. Everyone who observed Lent gave up meat.Those who observe Lent today are given the choice what they should give up as a part of their religious devotion.This ritual has adapted to a consumer-driven society,says Mirecki, and chocolate and pop seem to be the most common things people are giving up.As the years go by,students admit to trying to be more creative when choosing what they give up. ever since her mom forbade her from eating sweets and drinking soda for these 40 days as a child. Two years ago she decided to alter her traditional soda fast and give up alcohol. "Being able to say no to my friends who wanted me to drink with them in Hawaii was such an accomplishment," Hernandez says. "It made me "It's an opportunity for people to reflect on their own lives and make a decision that works for them." —Paul Mirecki, professor of religion feel stronger spiritually." She was successful two years ago and has given up alcohol again. Father Steve Beseau, director of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, says what you give up for Lent should be a personal decision that is made based on what would be missed in your life. Giving up something that you are really attached to is the true sacrifice. Beseau advises not trying to take on something impossible as he remembers one year early in his priesthood. He wanted to imitate Christ's experience in the wilderness by giving up sleeping on his bed. His plan was to sleep on the floor without his pillow, but his spiritual director advised him against it. His director said the sacrifice was too much to take on and reminded him that the thought behind it was more important than the act itself. In the end, Beseau gave up his pillow but kept sleeping on his bed. Hernandez, who is giving up alcohol again this year, says it's something she can live without but feels it's something she should give up again. She admits she still craves beer and tequila shots on nights out with her friends, but so far hasn't given in to the temptation. Unlike Hernandez, other students have used Lent as an excuse to give up a bad habit. Mandy Marling, Topeka senior, is a Christian but says her church never emphasized Lent like Catholic churches do. Last year she decided to give up what she considered a bad and annoying habit: Facebook. For Marling, giving up Facebook was an unexpected sacrifice. Ironically, she was invited to join a Facebook group that asked her and others to give up Facebook for Lent. Marling decided to join the group after realizing how much this social network was embedded into her daily routine. She calls herself a "chronic Facebooker" who would check the Web site multiple times a day. She thought this might be a good time to try to rid herself of this habit. "The people who invite me to events I'm not going to go to or post pictures I don't ever look at are people that don't really matter all that much to me," Marling says. "But the friends that matter the most to me I know I see often enough." Marling says she was successful in giving up Facebook last year, aside from peeking over her boyfriend's shoulder whenever he logged on, but says she doesn't plan on doing it again. It was the first and last time she has participated in Lent and as soon as it ended she stepped back into her old Facebook habits. So whether it's alcohol, a Web site or something else unique, people seem to be turning what they give up for Lent into a fun thing, Mirecki says. It's an opportunity for people to reflect on their own lives and make a decision that works for them. advised him against it.

Sure, both of them are perhaps the preeminent singer-songwriter of their time (though "singer" might be a stretch for Dylan) and both play what could conceivably be classified as "folk" music—but it's generally agreed that they are more different, musically at least, than they are the same. Still, if you look a bit deeper, it's not hard to see more similarities between the two artists. Both writers, for instance, are heavily influenced by the political climate of their time and have no qualms publicizing their disapproval. Furthermore, both are staunch civil rights activists. So I figured the best way to link these two would be comparing their renditions of Dylan's civil rights anthem "Hurricane." JONES "Hurricane" tells the story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, an African-American boxer who, in 1976, was convicted of multiple homicides in a trial that can only be described as American racism at its peak. There was precious little evidence against Carter and his alleged accomplice, yet the judge refused to let the defense actually defend anyone and the two men were Bob Dylan sentenced to consecutive life sentences based wholly on some sketchy evidence. The song, released on Dylan's 1976 album Desire, instantly became one of Dylan's most popular and is widely credited with turning public support towards Carter, which in turn forced a retrial that resulted in Carter's indictments being dismissed. It also cemented Dylan's place as one of only a handful of white people who can use the n-word in his music without having their motives called into question. The original recording of "Hurricane" is a beautiful ballad replete with acoustic guitar and harmonica riffs generally associated with Dylan's music, as well as a backing violin that weaves in and out of the guitar. DiFranco's recording, off her 2000 EP Swing Set, is a bit different, as it reflects her personality rather than just being a musical facsimile of Dylan's. Dylan's rendition starts off with an acoustic guitar strum, which is joined after a few seconds by violin and drums, each melding together very well. On the other side, DiFranco starts her rendition with a tenuous bassline played in such a way as to indicate that something bad is about to happen—which actually portrays the feeling of the song a whole lot better in my opinion, as the first lyric after the intro is "pistol shots ring out in a barroom night." The differences don't stop there. The main guitar lines of each song provide the best example of musical differences between the two versions. Dylan played an acoustic guitar for vast portions of his career and is best known for his acoustic sound, and it makes sense that the acoustic guitar is used to provide the musical underpinning of Dylan's version. DiFranco, however, though certainly able to get the most out of her default acoustic sound, opts in her version for an electric guitar with a well-used reverb pedal. DiFranco fans will further recognize her stamp on the lyrical aspect of the song. It can't really be argued ALEXANDER CHEVROLET Ani DiFranco that DiFranco has a better voice than Bob Dylan—he's an amazing writer and musician, but try to find me someone who doesn't have a better voice than him (and the guy from Fall Out Boy doesn't count)—and she shows off her vocal talents amazingly in this rendition by constantly varying her rhythm, tone and pitch. When all is said and done, if I had to choose which version I like better, I really don't think I could. I'm a big fan of DiFranco's vocals as well as her musical style, both of which shine in her cover of Dylan's masterpiece, but Dylan's version is just that: a masterpiece. Though he may not have the voice of a great singer, it can't be denied that musically, he is unparalleled in his time. I guess all I can really do at this point is recommend that you listen to both versions and decide which you like best: the modern rendition of a masterpiece, or a song that defined an era of racism and simultaneously helped to end it. --- 12 02.28.2008 interesting fact: Feb 29, 1972: Hank Aaron becomes the first baseball player to sign for $200,000 a year. -www.brainyfacts.com VOL.5 ISS.22 play Q&A with Julian Dorio, drummer of The Whigs PARKER This weekend, Lawrencians will be able to experience the Athens, Ga., garage rock trio that has piqued the interest of music magazines and fashion magazines alike.

Jordan says her interest in bike repair started when she was using a bicycle for transportation and decided it would be a worthwhile investment because she didn't own a car. By Josh Patterson jpatterson@kansan.com It's been a long winter. If you feel weary of the endless days of rain, sleet and snow, rest assured that your bicycle suffers with you. Whether you neglected your trusty steed by leaving it locked outside your dorm or actually braved the ice and salt-covered streets, your bike will last longer if you give it a little care each spring. Years of working in bicycle shops have taught me the value of preventive maintenance. Spending a little time and money to keep your bike rolling and shifting smoothly keeps your bike from becoming a money pit. Andrew Slater, Overland Park junior, is one of those interpred souls who brave the elements to commute to class each day. To cut down on maintenance, he wipes down his bicycle's drivetrain with warm water after each ride and lubes his chain once a week. 111 If you store your bike outside, at the very least you'll need to lube the chain and probably pump up the tires. Additionally, when exposed to harsh winter weather, many parts of your bike will rust. It's very common to have to replace chains on bicycles at the beginning of each season because of rust. Rusty chains squeak and can develop stiff links that, if left unchecked, will ruin the rest of your bike's drivetrain—forcing you to spend significantly more money. A replacement chain will set you back $10-20. Expect to pay another $8-10 in labor fees to have the chain installed. Many times, people bring their bikes to repair shops after they've been stored all winter and the first thing they'll say is,"My tires are flat. I need new tires." Ninety percent of the time the tires are fine. Unlike a car, bicycles rely on tubes within the tires. Your bicycle's inner tubes have lost air, but the tires themselves are fine—the distinction matters when you talk to your bike mechanic. Keep in mind the inner tubes are made of rubber, which is porous. Over the course of several months it is natural for the tubes in your tires to lose air pressure. Nick Gardener, mechanic at Cycle Works, 2121 Kasold, notes that bicycle tubes lose an average of 5 psi a week naturally, whether they sit or are being ridden. I always told customers, if they were unsure if their flats were caused by a puncture or if they'd just been sitting too long, to start by airing the tubes up. If they hold air overnight they're fine. If not, then your inner tubes must be replaced. The ability to make your bicycle stop on your terms is good. Without brakes, your bike is less a method of transport and enjoyment than it is a vehicle with kamikaze tendencies. Winter riding tends to wear down your bike's brake pads."Road grit and grime gets onto your rim and really sands the pads down" says Gardener. So, to prevent a possible "Oh, shit!" scenario, please, have your brakes checked as well. Adam Hess, service manager at Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, sees a lot of weather-beaten bicycles this time of year. Most of the bikes he's been serving need new chains and some kind of lube and tune-up. If your bike has been fighting the elements all winter, Adam recommends getting a brake service tune-up. It costs $30 and includes servicing your bike's brakes, adjusting the gears, and lubing the cables and drivetrain. There are three bike shops in Lawrence, and they all provide free estimates. Customers can expect to be without their bikes for two to three days. Or, if you use your bike for daily transport, make an appointment and pick your bike up the same day you drop it off. Four things even mechanically challenged people can do 1. Lube your chain on a regular basis; once a week if your bicycle is a daily commuter, and at least once a month if used occasionally. Start by using a rag to wipe off dirt and grime, then apply the chain lube and wipe off excess lubricant. Warning: WD-40 is not a lubricant, it's a solvent, and should not be used on your bike...ever. 2. Periodically check all the nuts and bolts on your bike to make sure they are snug. All bolts on bicycles are metric: 4, 5, and 6mm Allen wrenches will cover most adjustments. 4. When cleaning your bicycle, do not use a high-pressure hose. This will force grease out of the bearings, allowing water and grime in. Instead, use a towel or sponge to apply water mixed with dish soap to clean your bike. 3. Air up your own tubes, if you don't have an air pump at home, every bike shop in town will air your tires up free of charge. See this week's DIY to learn how to change a flat.

One minute you're pedaling along, and the next thing you know, your bike becomes sluggish and starts to wobble back and forth. The thwap-thwap-thwap of a flat tire means you be spending the rest of your trip walking next to your bicycle. A tire lever can help pry the tire off the rim. But no worries Changing a flat is a quick and easy procedure anyone can do.With the right tools and these easy steps, you'll soon be back in the saddle again. Tools needed: Air-Pump, patch kit or new inner tube and possibly a 15mm wrench and tire levers Step 1: Before you remove the wheel from the bike, start by disconnecting your bicycle's brakes. This allows the wheel to clear the brake pads. Step 2: There are two methods for securing a wheel to a bicycle: Quick-release axels use a cam and lever to secure the wheel to the frame; bolt-on axels use nuts that are tightened against the frame. If you have the former, flip open the quick-release, and the wheel will fall out. If you have the latter, you will need a wrench. Most use 15mm axel nuts. Loosen the axel nuts and remove the wheel. Step 3: Pry the tire off the rim. Many times this can be done without the aid of tools. If you do need to use tools, don't use a screwdriver or butter knife, as they can damage your tire and wheel. You can pick up a plastic tire lever from your local bike shop for $3-5. That's less than it costs to have them change your flat. If you do need to use a tire lever, use it to pry the tire off the rim and remove the inner tube. Step 4: Before installing a new tube, slowly run your hand along the inside of the tire to check for the cause of the flat. If you have a patch kit, use an air pump to re-inflate the tube and find the leak. If using a new inner tube, inflate the tube just enough to hold its shape, then mount the tube in the tire and the tire on the rim. Again, if it's a snug fit you may have to use tire lever to remount the tire. Start by seating one side of the tire on the rim, then the other. Step 5: Pump the tire up to full pressure—the recommended pressure is printed on the side of the tire. Reinstall the wheel in the frame and tighten your quick release or snug the axel bolts down. Make sure to reconnect your breaks. - Josh Patterson STANLEY Once you have installed the new inner tube, pump the tire up to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.

They are all excited about telling the stories behind the pictures, she says."When you were a child you had art class. Scrapbooking is like that, but for adults," Haake says. Why we do what we do People deal with divorce in a variety of ways. For Haake, beginning to scrapbook was just the solution. "I started scrapbooking after my divorce to help me work through those issues," she says. Much like her life, she got rid of all her old albums and started fresh. She says by scrapbooking, instead of just putting pictures in an album, you get a more personalized book. Dena Broderick started scrapbooking after a trip to France in 2001. Broderick, Kansas alumna and consultant for Creative Memories scrapbooking sales company, wanted a different way to display her photos than just in albums. She wanted to tell the story of her trip. Broderick is an engineer and she says she wasn't sure if she had a creative enough mindset to actually put together a decent looking page. But two pages into it she "was hooked." In 2002, Broderick became a Creative Memories consultant. The mission of the company is based upon getting stories and preserving memories in scrapbooks, Broderick says. The main reason to put events down on paper is so that one day you or other family members can look back and actually know what was taking place in each photograph."No matter what you think, you will forget. You'll forget people's names or the little details that made the event special for you," she says.

Broderick says she has also helped husbands and boyfriends make books or small projects for wives and girlfriends. The scissors and glue of it To get started scrapbooking, you'll need a few basic materials. Brittani Boyd, LeMars, Iowa, senior, says that in addition to your photos, all you need is basic craft stuff like paper, scissors, glue and stickers. Boyd has been scrapbooking since high school. She shops at Hobby Lobby or Michael's Arts & Crafts store, where they sell all of these supplies. Haake says Close to My Heart sells packaged papers that are for different levels of scrapbookers. The Level One packages have preprinted pages with spaces for the photos already positioned on the page. A more experienced scrapbooker could buy a higher-level paper pack and play around with the design a bit more, she says. Haake also notes that with so many different kinds of products out there you just have to find some paper and embellishments that go with your pictures and put it all together. She says it is definitely easy for everyone. 16 02.28.2008 VOL.5 ISS.22 This does not seem to be a man's pastime, though Broderick says there are male consultants, but she hasn't ever had a male customer who scrapbooked on a regular basis. Men will scrapbook gifts for people, but will not necessarily take it up as a hobby."Many people see this as a girly, crafty thing. The men that I have seen do this are usually photographers, and they are more interested in the art aspect than the preserving or telling a story." Broderick says. Is it for you? When asked if this was a hobby anyone could have, all four women agreed that it was. Brown is a chemistry major and didn't think she was creative at all, but she attended a class at a store in Hutchinson and has been scrapbooking ever since.She was amazed by all of the different layouts, themes and directions a page could take, and with the added bonus of kits, the creativeness is right in front of you. So, if you are looking for a new hobby or just a different way to display all those wonderful pictures from your last vacation, peruse the scrapbook aisles in your local stores. Aunya Brown, Hutchinson junior, says it is important to have some sort of idea what you want the page or book to look like before you start. If you have an idea for a theme or layout based on your pictures then you can find paper and adornments to match, she says. Many stores also sell pre-made kits. "These are kind of like dummy kits for scrapbooking. They have matching paper and embellishments, and some tell you how to put them all together;" Brown says. Check with your local store for classes or clubs to help you get started or to meet other scrapbookers.

Good looks aside, the iPod touch and its sister, the iPhone, represent a serious innovation in gadgetry. The touch screen control was a serious gamble on Apple's part. It could easily have turned out gimmicky. Instead, the experience of using the new touch interface is so intuitive that it's difficult to explain. Pinch this. Pull that. Flip it sideways to change views. It just works. iPod 9:42 AM Top Time iTunes Top Songs Top Albums Tap to Preview, Double Tap to View Album 1. Say It Right Nelly Furtado $0.99 2.

The iPhone has a small bar on the left side of the screen to adjust the volume, but the iPod touch doesn't, which is a minor inconvenience that can become a pain. The iPod touch comes with a software package similar to the iPhone. This means it can send and receive e-mail, has a full Safari Web browser can play music and video like any has a fun start Web browser, can play music and more! Other iPod, and can use several other handy widgets for checking stocks, Google maps and YouTube. The music application features the Cover Flow system that Apple has included in all its new products for the last few years, and the system shines on the iPod touch. Flicking through cover art to select an album looks awesome, though not really very useful for finding that one song you want to hear. The touch screen keyboard takes practice to use efficiently, but there is nothing really remarkable here. The Safari Web browser, however, is an innovation. It displays a zoomed out, complete version of a Web page, and you zoom in and on the page by pinching and pulling. It takes a few seconds longer to navigate a page than on a computer, but it works far better than other mobile browsers. The video application doesn't support Cover Flow, unfortunately, but it does play movies very well. The screen is about twice the size of the classic iPod's,and you'll notice the difference. Despite some minor annoyances, the iPod touch sets a new standard for what an iPod can be. An 8GB iPod touch is $300, 16 GB is $400, and 32 GB will set you back $500. If you are considering buying one, though, you might hold off a few weeks: Rumor has it there's a price drop looming. ★★★☆ Chris Hickerson Dear Students, Weekend Hangover?

I had never seen a picture of the place outside of the KU course catalog. My only frame of reference came from the movie Twister, in which an old lady living in a field had several spinning metal contraptions in her front yard to detect tornadoes, which must have roared through her property endlessly, or so I thought. Yet here I am, 1,800 miles away from the only home I've ever known: Orange County, Calif., the land of beautiful beaches, perfect weather and not-so-realistic television shows. People often don't understand why I came to Kansas. "Why the hell did you decide to come out here?" they ask, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Joe navigates his 1,800 mile drive from California to Kansas. Well, this is why I came to Kansas: I was finishing up my freshman year at Cal State Fullerton, a commuter college in Orange County. As one of 800 students living on a campus that hosted more than 35,000 people, I quickly realized there was no school spirit, no sports (besides baseball) and no recognition of the university's existence by the surrounding community. That, and living approximately 50 yards from a freeway the likes of which Kansas has never seen, made me question the "college experience" Fullerton was providing. By Joe Hunt Sure, the beach, Disneyland, my family and the Staples Center (home of the Los Angeles Lakers) were all a short drive away, but what about those crazy fans that smeared themselves in paint before the most mundane of sporting events? What about those old fraternity houses that look like giant mansions? What about the local bars dedicated to and frequented by a largely underage student body? I wanted those things. As I trudged into my dorm room at Fullerton on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in late February, I saw my roommate, blazed as usual, watching a college basketball game on television. KU was playing, and students were covered in paint, screaming rabidly as the announcer said that "All the shops in town close up early when there's a basketball game going on," something I later learned was a gross exaggeration. I didn't watch the game, as I have never really cared for college basketball, but instead I went to my computer and spent the next hour filling out an application to transfer to the University of Kansas. I didn't bother applying anywhere else. A few months later I was packing up my truck, ready to head out to uncharted territory, a state where I didn't know a single person. guess you can say I'm somewhat spontai. aous. My parents, who have both lived in the Orange County area their entire lives, supported my decision, though my mother was a bit apprehensive about not seeing her oldest child for months at a time. This was a much bigger step than going from high school to a college just 30 minutes away."You know you're going to be there for the next three years of your life," my mother reminded me as I got ready to leave. I know, Mom."And you don't know anyone there." I know, Mom."And you're coming back as soon as you graduate." I know, Mom. I spent my first year in Oliver Hall. The atmosphere was fun, the people were friendly and, initially, it didn't feel too different from being in California. But something was off. I could never quite shake the feeling that I just didn't fit in. It's hard to put a handle on what was different. I just wasn't in my comfort zone. I wasn't at home. I didn't feel as comfortable meeting new people or joshing around with casual acquaintances. When people here find out I'm from California—and if they ever do, it's against my best efforts—they seem to step back and re-evaluate me, not as the person I am but who they expect me to be. It's subtle, but it's there. I have a great group of friends here that I see every other weekend or so—not nearly enough—but the day-to-day life between those times feels a bit empty.After I graduate, I'll still be a Jayhawk, but I'll be going home. I miss home. I miss being able to go outside in shorts at any time of the year, being able to have bonfires on the beach at night and having my choice of dozens of restaurants for delicious Mexican food. I miss my friends I've known since grade school, and I miss my girlfriend, whom I only get to see during breaks. And guess what? I don't paint myself crimson and blue for sporting events, I'm not in a fraternity and I'm not a huge fan of bars. But this doesn't mean I regret coming to KU. I cherish every friend I've had the pleasure of meeting here, and it's been an interesting change from the same old song and dance in California that has been my past and will probably be my future. I took a chance to see someplace new and different, and while I haven't seen any tornadoes out here, I can always tell the relatives back home about the microburst and that stoplight I saw rolling down the street in the wind. I wouldn't trade seeing that for any sunny day. I ... 10 interesting fact.

Apartments in brief editor's note When you first decide to live off campus, it's a big decision. People say Lawrence is small, but it's also bigger than we give it credit for. There is a ridiculous amount of off-campus living options, and most of us aren't fully informed about where to live. I lived in Ellsworth Hall my freshman and sophomore years but decided to live off campus my junior year. My three friends and I decided we wanted a four-bedroom apartment that was within walking distance of campus. After about two days of searching, we found one and have lived there ever since. We were too lazy to move the next year, so we stayed despite not liking the place. We've had a lot of problems with our apartment, and its management hasn't lived up to our expectations, yet they increased our rent. They've told us five times that the porch light would get fixed, but we're still coming home in the dark. The dishwasher doesn't clean BY MATT LINDBERG MLINDBERG@KANSAN.COM our dishes, and we never got the washer and driver we were promised. We all agreed it would have been nice to have an idea of the different apartments available and what we could have expected. My fellow staff and I put this apartment guide together with hopes that it would give you a great idea of all the off-campus living options available so that you're happy with your future home. spring 2008 kansan staff Editor Managing editors Special Sections Editor Design Chiefs Photo Editor Darla Slipke Matt Erickson Dianne Smith Matt Lindberg Drew Bergman Kevin Grunwald Mindy Ricketts Copy Chiefs Advertising Director Sales manager Advertising Layout Elizabeth Cattell Jeff Briscoe Meghan Murphy Kaitlyn Syring Jyl Unruh Toni Bergquist Katy Pitt Austin Falley Megan Gonzales General Manager and News Adviser Malcolm Gibson Sales and Marketing Adviser Jon Schlitt Cover Model Stephen Bergman Kansan Newsroom 111 Stauffer Flint Hall 1435 Jayhawk Blvd. Lawrence, KS 60545 (785) 864-4810 et cetera The University Daily Kansan is the student newspaper of the University of Kansas.

The signing of one's first rental contract and the key to the move, can be a rite of passage and a cause for celebration. But the rush to seal the deal can often leave students unprotected, some experts said. Jo Hardesty, director of Legal Services for Students, said first-time signers and veteran renters alike often failed to take the time to look over their leases before signing, leaving themselves exposed to surprise charges and unwanted obligations down the road. "Many students come in (to Legal Services) when it's too late — they're already in a situation they don't want to be in," Hardesty said. Such situations include being charged with hidden application fees, move-in charges, move-out charges and rent and roommate difficulties. Hardesty said automatic renewal clause were the worst of the horror stories. "A lot of leases have in this little itty-bitty print that you have to notify your landlord if you won't be renewing your lease 120 days before you leave or it will be renewed for a like term." Hardesty said. "A lot of people just don't see this, or if they do, they don't know what it means." Hardesty said that in this worst-case scenario of leasing a renter may end up with two leases and have to pay a fine or even find someone to sublease to get out of one. As difficult as it may seem, the way to prevent a negative landlord-tenant situation is simple: Read the lease carefully, and ask questions if the terms are unclear. Hardesty said potential renters should take a copy of the lease and all other documents the landlord expected you to agree to and read them thoroughly before you signed. Doug Self, Valley Falls junior, knew the value of careful examination. He asked to take a copy of his lease to read before signing. "You need to just make sure you're not going to get screwed," he said. "If you've never rented, go over it with someone with experience to make sure there's no faults." Traci Olberding, leasing manager of Fox Run Apartments, 4500 Overland Drive, said she saw many students who did not take the time or did not know what they should have done before they entered into rental contracts. "There's so many people here who don't ask to see their exact apartment before they sign or to have a copy of the lease or even ask that many questions," she said. But of course, not all students have their heads in the clouds when it comes to leasing. Brenna McKedy, Garden City sophomore, read her lease closely before she signed for her townhouse last year. "I made sure to take it home first," she said. Students may rush to sign a lease because of the excitement of getting that perfect apartment. "A lot of landlords try to pressure you into signing right now, and tenants go along," she said. "Tenants shouldn't be concerned that if they don't sign right away they won't have an apartment. In this town, there are really more places to live than people." Lawrence real estate agent Debbie McCarthy said that Lawrence had a lot of available housing. "It's a buyer's market. There's too many listings in all parts of the market. The population of KU is down from last year, and prices are coming down." McCarthy said. Hardesty encourages students to get advice about the rental process. Legal Services for Students, which is funded partly by campus fees, offers free consultation on issues from reviewing a lease to dealing with a landlord disagreement. protect yourself Read these tips before you sign: 1. Don't be afraid to take your lease home to read over thoroughly before you sign. Your landlord should allow you to do this, and don't feel pressured to sign right away. Because of the housing market, you probably won't lose your spot. Even if you do lose a place at that complex, it's better to have your second choice than get into a contract you regret later. 2. Ask to see not just the model apartment, but the actual apartment you will be renting. If you don't, you may be in for a surprise come move-in day. 3. Discuss rent payment with your roommates carefully. In most leases, each roommate is equally liable for all the rent, meaning if one person doesn't pay, you will have to pay. 4. Do your research. Talk to tenants if you can. Web sites such as www/apartmentratings.com allow users to post and read anonymous ratings of complexes and their services. The site also has links to resources for renters' insurance, moving services, sublet postings and even has a market-trends tracker.

Living among the masses, making it work BY JASON BAKER jbaker@kansan.com Ever thought it was difficult to share a living space with another person? Try doing that with nine other people. Ten guys live in what is known as the Vermont House. They are all KU students who know each other well and can manage to live with one another under one roof. “It's definitely built on community and friendship,” said Justin Puch, Burnsville, Minn., senior. The Vermont House started with Puch and a friend of his, Olathe senior Andy Fell. During the spring 2006 semester, Puch and Fell were both sophomores. They came up with the idea of putting together a group of guys to live with. "Me and Andy thought, 'Wouldn't it be sweet to live in a house full of Christian guys?' " Puch said. The two brought up their idea at a Campus Crusade for Christ meeting and were able gather their eight other roommates. They moved into the house on the 1300 block of Vermont in fall 2006. Matt Beattie, Plano, Texas, junior, who lives in the house with his twin brother, Chris, said he and his brother moved into the house for similar reasons. "Neither one of us wanted to live in the dorms again, and a lot of the guys that live here were mutual friends of ours. We've been roommates our whole lives, so we're use to it." A house filled with 10 college students naturally has a lot going on, but the roommates tried to arrange things to keep school a priority. "We have six bedrooms in the house.

VERMONT HOUSE (CONTINUED FROM 4) room for anyone who wants to study," said Geoff Shepard, Overland Park senior. "Or we might go to the library. Most of us go to the library." With some roommates more studious than others, the arrangement allows for the different lifestyles and schedules of everyone living in the house. The roommates had to come up with a system for keeping the house clean as well. The roommates said they took turns doing different chores to keep the house in good shape. Grant Buffington, St. Louis junior, said there were six main chores: cleaning the floors, kitchen duty, cleaning each of the three bathrooms and living room pickup. If one of the guys doesn't do his chore for that week, he has to put $5 into the "house fund." The fund pays for household items such as toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Despite living in such close quarters, the roommates manage to stay close friends. They stay competitive playing Fantasy Football and other games like "sleep tour." Tim Day, Spring Hill sophomore, said sleep tour involved trying to find new places to sleep. "It's a contest where you can't sleep in your bed, and every night you have to sleep in different places in and around the house." The guys slept in random places from their bathtubs to grocery carts and continued for as long as they could. Aaron Knott, Topeka junior, won this year's competition.

The chores are split up among the roommates, and if one misses his duty, he must contribute $5 to a house fund, which pays for everyday supplies. The guys have slightly more traditional competitions. They recently went to Buffalo Wild Wings to eat 200 wings as a house. "It's a team building exercise," Day said. The idea originated during winter break when seven of the guys tried it and then wanted to try it as a whole house. They successfully managed to finish 200 buffalo wings, but they wanted to spice up the competition. "Next time it's going to be unlimited, whoever can eat the most wins." Beattie said. Besides competing against each other in sleeping and eating competitions, the guys get to do a lot of activities. An upcoming activity for the Vermont House is "Duck Week." "We're going to buy some ducks and keep them in a pool in our backyard." Knott said. They also have slip-n-slide parties and date night, where they go out on dates with some of their friends and girlfriends. The guys try to go to the KU basketball games as a house. They also compete in a soccer league. "We play once a semester for two months. It's for fun, but we do get competitive," Knott said. The guys wanted to acknowledge that they're not perfect and have issues with each other at "We had issues such as not doing the dishes, taking out the trash. Mostly over stupid things." Fell said. "But the reason we're all living together is because we love Jesus." times. However, they don't think the issues are a big deal. Puch talks about how the guys in the house have an open-door policy. "It's a big thing. We feel that we should share what God has blessed us with, and we should share it with other people." Although the guys seem like all play and no work, they do get things done. "We have a house meeting every Sunday night, "Fell said. "We go over bills, chores for the week and events that we want to put together as a house." Aaron Stallard, Dallas sophomore, described the Vermont House like this: "It's got the brotherhood of a fraternity but without the hazing and other frat stuff that I don't really care for. Also, it's living with nine of your best friends. What else could you ask for?" [Image of a kitchen with wooden cabinets, countertop, and pendant lighting.

For Kristin Wark, Rexford junior, and Nicole Birnbaum, Overland Park junior, the answer to this question lies in the 1000 block of Illinois Street, near Memorial Stadium. Wark and Birnbaum moved into their house at the beginning of August and have since gotten used to living near the home of tailgating. "The biggest thing is location. Look for a place that is near campus, and it will be a better college experience," Birnbaum said. "I hated driving to campus. I like living in a house rather than an apartment. I feel that there is more room, and we wanted more responsibility." During the football season, Birnbaum, Wark and their third roommate, Wichita junior Abby Babst, worked together to sell parking spots in their front yard. On game days, the girls woke up at 7:30 a.m. to prepare. It became an all- There was a lot of work that came along with the fun of tailgating before the game. day event, sometimes lasting until 8 p.m. The girls fit anywhere from six to seven cars on their lawn and four or five in the driveway. The charge to park ranged from $25 to $40, and some fans paid the roommates for the entire season. The three roommates each made about $100 a game. "We made sure that there was always two of us here," Wark said. "It is the best job ever because we get paid to hang out with our friends and drink all day." To rent the lot, they needed someone to hold signs and manage the money and supplies. The atmosphere was a friendly one for Birnbaum and Wark. As beginners at selling parking, the girls relied on their neighbors who had experience in selling their lot from the previous season. "Our landlord sold our neighbors' backyard to a family. The family had minors drinking and they were fined $1,000 because of it." "We had each other's back. Our neighbors when we were first moving in heard that we did not have air conditioning and brought over fans and also helped us out with tailgating and parking," Birnbaum said. "It's nice living next door to guys; it's kind of like dorm life but better." With the advantages of living so close to the stadium, the girls also experienced some drawbacks to selling their lot for tailgating purposes. They were able to sell only their front yard, while their landlord sold their backyard to families for the entire season. KRISTIN WARK Rexford junior One of their problems was letting strangers into their home to use their bathroom. Most of the time they tried to let only their friends in, but some of the tailgaters offered to pay $50, or they brought a package of toilet paper for the entire season. "It was tough, but we managed it pretty well. We made sure all of our valuables were put away and locked all of our bedroom doors. We didn't allow anyone to go upstairs, either," Wark said. Strangers were not the only setback Birnbaum and Wark faced. After the first game, a warning was issued to all of the homeowners that undercover policemen would be patrolling the tailgating areas to make sure that all of the attendees were of age. "Our landlord sold our neighbors' backyard to a family. The family had minors drinking, and they were fined $1,000 because of it," Wark said. "I guess we're kind of lucky, no tickets and nothing of ours have been stolen." Both girls plan to live in the same house next year and hope to sell parking again, but next year may be different because of a change made by their landlord. There may not be any parking available on Illinois Street for tailgating come next season. "We love the location, but without the parking, it would suck. But we would still tailgate with our friends," Birnbaum and Wark said. Park25 Park25 STRESSED ABOUT YOUR LIVING ARRANGEMENTS? Current space too small? Roommate not working out?

Downtown is within walking distance, and campus is just a short (albeit largely vertical) walk away. However, few grocery stores are within comfortable walking distance. Graphic by Kevin Grunwald The proximity to downtown, a cluster of greek houses and the bars of 14th Street, as well as the diverse community of students living within the clusters of rented houses and a few apartment buildings, make the student ghetto a lively, vibrant place to be. The constant bustle of activity is great if you're in the mood to party, but should you find yourself desiring sleep around 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, you may well be out of luck. The general cacophony of drunkenness make this happening locale not at all conducive to quiet reflection most weekend nights. Apartments: Highpointe: 2001 W.

According to the Department of Student Housing, the biggest concentration of internationals on campus is in McCollum Hall and the Jayhawker Towers. Both don't close over the breaks, and students don't have to move out if they can't go back to their home countries. For most international students, finding a place to live and adjusting is easier when they can share their space and experiences with others who are in the same situation as they are. In Tower A of Jayhawker Towers, six Japanese girls gather to watch the Jayhawks play Texas on a Monday night. Back in Japan they were not best friends — actually they didn't know each other before coming to the United States. Some prefer American roommates to practice their English. Yuka Honzawa, Tochigi, Japan, freshman, lives in McCollum with American girls. Although she is not as comfortable with them as she is with her Japanese and Asian friends who live in the Towers, she doesn't want to move out to keep up with her conversation skills. In the Towers, especially in Tower A, it is not hard to notice some foreign language being spoken in the hallways. A lot of foreign students choose to live there because of the bigger rooms and the fact that there is a kitchen where they can cook their traditional food. Kana Shibuya, Kanagawa, Japan, exchange student, shares her apartment with another Japanese girl and was impressed with the size of her room, which is bigger than the one she has back home. For most international students finding a place to live and adjusting is easier when they can share their space and experience with others who are in the same situation as they are. Scholarship Halls are also appealing to foreigners for their convenience. They are cheaper than other residence halls and close to campus. Also, since there is food available at any time, it saves students a drive to the grocery store, especially because most of them don't have a car. When Oscar Lopez, Piura, Peru, sophomore, chose to apply for Pearson Scholarship Hall, he took into consideration the fact that there were six other Peruvians who lived there. Being able to speak Spanish with his countrymen made it easier for him to deal with his culture shock and adjustment to American traditions. Lopez said that the Peruvians formed their own group. For example, at dinner time it is natural for them to sit at the same table and to start speaking Spanish, even when there are Americans around. Feeling part of a group carries a lot of weight for international students, especially when it is formed by other foreigners. Stouffer Place, a family housing complex for graduate students, who are mainly foreigners, has a strong community. The Stouffer Neighborhood Association organizes meetings and barbecues to integrate residents. Hang Le, Hanoi, Vietnam, graduate student, has been living there with her 5-year-old daughter for a semester. Besides finding it more affordable than living off campus, Le said she can share her frustrations and complaints about adapting to America with her neighbors. Students who move off campus very often end up forming a community. For example, on a Sunday night in the Sunrise Terrace complex, Bolivians, Uruguayans and Mexicans get together for poker night. The host is Javier de Palacios, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, senior, who lives with other two countrymen. Palacios said he has had good experiences living with Americans before. But moving in with other Latinos is very natural for Latin Americans because they share the same cultural habits, even though he has met people who prefer to live with Americans to practice their English.

Other students live there, too. The towers, located north of the Burge Union, are the only apartments on campus for students. Jennifer Wamelink, associate director of the Department of Student Housing, said all apartments in Jayhawker Towers were two-bedroom and were shared by either two or four residents. There are four towers: One tower is reserved for graduate students, one is women only, and the other two towers are co-ed. "Apartments are carpeted and partially furnished with beds, desks, desk chairs and dressers," Wamelink said. Each apartment also has a small kitchen with appliances. Many students choose to live in the towers because of their convenience. Mario Rodriguez, Stillwell sophomore and first-year resident in the towers, said he wanted to live in the towers because of convenience. "I chose them because it was close to campus and cheaper than living in the dorms, especially the four- "I decided to live in the towers because I didn't want to live in the dorms anymore, and my parents didn't want me to have to worry about paying rent as with a regular apartment." person rooms" he said. Rodriguez also had a complaint with the towers. "The brick walls don't feel really homey", he said. ROCHELLE BAILEY Jayhawker Towers resident Some students, like Rochelle Bailey, Junction City senior and a second-year resident of the towers, choose to live in the towers to avoid rent issues. "I decided to live in the towers because I didn't want to live in the dorms anymore, and my parents didn't want me to have to worry about paying rent as with a regular apartment," Bailey said. She said that not paying rent and being within walking distance of campus was an advantage to her. But she dislikes some things about the towers, as well. Towers residents, like students in residence halls, cannot have alcohol in their rooms and must follow rules similar to residence halls regarding fire alarms, laundry, move-in and move-out. "The disadvantage for me is not having my own washer and dryer, and the uncomfortable temperatures in the apartment," she said. "At times, it's either too hot or too cold, especially in the back room. In a way, the towers are similar to living in a regular apartment, but they still have many of the same rules as other residence halls on campus." Wamelink said utilities, including cable and local phone service, were provided. Some students treat the towers as if they were off-campus apartments, "It is an apartment. I treat it like one. I don't have a meal plan, and I cook for myself," said Marley Parsons, Shawnee junior and first-year resident in the towers. Parsons chose to live in the towers because it was close to the Art and Design Building, west of Budig Hall, where she does work for her major. James McClinton, Garland, Texas, senior and defensive tackle for the football team, said the towers were convenient because of their proximity to classroom buildings and workout facilities. The towers have staffing similar to that of residence halls. "Residential life staff live throughout the towers, and the information desk is open 24 hours, seven days a week to provide service and support for the Jayhawker Towers community," Wamelink said. FEBRUARY 28,2008 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN APARTMENT GUIDE 15 100 Many students choose to live in Jayhawker Towers because of the on-campus location and the rent and utility conveniences. However, some students said they disliked how closely the towers resembled campus residence halls.

SETTLING DOWN IN THE 'SCHOL HALLS' BY KATIE BLANKENAU kblankenau@kansan.com For those looking for every little bit of the college experience, scholarship halls stand out as a smorgasbord of living situations. These comfortable, chameleon-like institutions possess traits of apartments, residence halls, sororities and fraternities. The University of Kansas has 12 scholarship halls, or schol halls. There are six women's halls and six men's, with another men's hall on the way. The oldest hall, Watkins Hall, opened as a women's hall in 1926.

"The hall has a really open, spacious design with common rooms, a rec room, a computer lab and study areas on each floor," said Carlie Copeland, Overland Park freshman and resident of Rieger Hall. Scholarship halls encourage students to be involved in the government of their hall. "Our hall government consists of different elected girls within the hall serving in positions such as social chair, health and fitness chair, historian, ARC coordinator, et cetera," Copeland said. For Hannah Miller, first-year pharmacy student and president of Rieger Hall, these responsibilities foster the development of life skills. time for the upkeep of their halls through cooking and cleaning, which contribute to the community atmosphere.

THE LIVING ROOM. When choosing to enter a scholarship hall, residents said they kept "location location, location" in mind. The scholarship halls are technically on campus, mainly on Alumni Place, Louisiana Street and Lilac Lane. Scholarship hall residents save about $1,600 per year, according to the Department of Student Housing.

Living in more suburban areas does have benefits, such as easier shopping. FROM A DISTANCE Commuting students encounter the perks, problems of living away from campus BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com Though living far from campus might seem like a hassle to some, many students have discovered that living out of walking distance from their classes isn't such a bad option. Matt LaBuda, Baldwin City freshman, lives with his three roommates at LeannaMar Townhomes, 4501 Wimbledon Drive. The small townhome complex is located west of Kasold on Clinton Parkway. He said he had had a good experience since moving there in August. "We looked at a bunch of different places," LaBuda said. "This place was as cheap as anywhere else, and it's got a great set up." Although LaBuda lives more than three and a half miles from campus, he stills finds it manageable to get to his classes by using KU's Park & Ride system — a resource that many students who live far from campus or come from out of town take advantage of. "I hate having to drive and use gas money all the time instead of walking," LaBuda said. Park & Ride saves LaBuda the hassle of driving to campus, but he still must drive to the Park & Ride parking lot on West Campus, an aspect of living far away that he enjoys the least. Ann Nickelson, Olathe sophomore, is another KU student who lives far from campus. Much like LaBuda, she is pleased with her decision to live far away. She lives at The Reserve, 2511 West 31st St., with three of her close friends. "We've loved it; all our friends are out here" Nickelson said. "It's like your own community." Cody Quinpero, assistant manager at The Reserve, said 97 percent of its current residents were University students. He said he thought the fact that the Reserve was on a KU on Wheels bus route was one of the reasons it was appealing for students. "A bus comes every 20 minutes," Nickelson said. "It takes about 20 minutes on the bus to get to campus." Another advantage of living past 23rd Street, according to Nickelson, is the shopping. Target, Wal-Mart and various other stores are all within a mile of her apartment. "Our backyard goes into Target," said Nickelson. "We're really close for groceries and stuff." Nickelson said having to drive other places, such as visiting her friends in the student ghetto or going to Massachusetts Street, is a hassle, a concern shared by many students who live far away from campus. All things considered, Nickelson has enjoyed her past year at The Reserve much the same as LaBuda has enjoyed his past year at LeannaMar. "I'd say it's a really good experience," Labuda said.

In fact, there's a door in his apartment that leads directly to Mad Greek. Danielle Littman, Chicago junior, and Nancy Wolen, Boulder, Colo., junior, look over Massachusetts Street from their loft on Wednesday. Littman and Wolens said they loved the location of their loft and that they especially lived living directly above Ingredient. Danielle Littman, Chicago junior, and Nancy Wolens, Boulder, Colo., junior, can see the Granada from their apartment. In addition to all the shopping and dining opportunities on Massachusetts Street, there are apartments for rent above some of the storefronts. August Dettbarn, residential representative in the Douglas County Appraiser's Office, said there were about 112 rental units in the downtown area last year. When it comes to living on Massachusetts Street, Reed, Overland Park senior, said it was all about the location. Bars, restaurants and campus are all within walking distance of Reed's apartment. Littman and Wolens live in the newly renovated TenTenLofts, above Ingredient at 10th and Massachusetts streets. Living above a restaurant also comes with certain conveniences. Littman and Wolens eat at Ingredient all the time. They usually call in orders and walk downstairs to pick up their food. Wolens said that one man who worked at Ingredient often called her his neighbor. Reed and his roommates don't eat at Mad Greek as often they eat at Chipotle. It's quick, cheap and addictive, Reed said. "Somehow I'm not fat yet," Reed said. Reed, Littman and Wolens all said that living above stores did not require signing any additional contracts or permits. Reed moved into the apartment in August 2007 with some friends and said he has loved it. He moved from a house on 10th and Tennessee streets, which he said was a lot bigger, but his lease ended and he liked the Massachusetts Street location better. Littman and Wolens moved to their apartment in August 2007 without even seeing it. Wolens transferred from the University of Colorado and Littman found the apartment for both of them. Littman and Wolens each pay $597.50 per month, as well as cable and electricity, for their loft. Living near so much activity downtown doesn't really bother Littman. "I kinda like the commotion" she said While the activity outside was distracting at first, they've gotten used to it. "I kinda like the commotion." Littman said. They don't hear much from Ingredient, but hear the live music from the Jackpot Saloon next door. 100 Even though they live directly above Ingredient, there's hardly ever problems with the smell from below. They're thankful that Qdoba Mexican Grill, which closed last year and made room for Ingredient, isn't there any more. Littman and Wolens said they could hear when the bars closed at about 1:30 a.m. "I'm sure the smell from Qdoba would have been a lot more pungent," Littman said. Reed doesn't worry about the smells from Mad Greek, either. Caleb Sommerville/KANSAN He said he could hear music coming from downstairs through the door in his apartment that opens into Mad Greek's wine storage room. "Every once in a while we'll hear, you know, it's a Greek restaurant, so we'll hear everybody downstairs yell 'Opa!'" Reed said. Rent for the apartments above Massachusetts Street is comparable to other housing options. Littman and Wolens pay $597.50 per person per month, as well as cable and enervy. Reed pays about $325 per month, but he has two roommates and said he paid a lot for parking. He parks in the free two-hour lot behind the building, but can't always move his car every two hours. He's gotten about 50 $2 tickets so far this year. The door to Reed's apartment opens 14 Since the apartments are in the middle of downtown, some unusual things happen occasionally. "Every once in a while burns will show up in the hallway; that's probably the strangest thing that's happened." Reed said. Littman and Wolens witnessed the end of the standoff between Edward Wise and directly onto Massachusetts Street to the right of Mad Greek. They usually keep it locked, but Reed said he felt safe living there. Lawrence police in January. Wise hijacked a car and hit several other vehicles on Massachusetts Street before finally getting tased directly outside their window. — Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird ENTREPRENEURSHIP Students'invention wins merit Two KU students invented a chair that will make it easier for elderly people to shower.

NEWS BRIEFS Former Jayhawk and NFL player Gale Sayers visits The Kansas Comet is coming back to Lawrence. Jayhawk and NFL football legend Gale Sayers will be on hand for a book signing at Oread Books Saturday afternoon. Sayers is promoting his new book, "Sayers: My Life and Times," written with Chicago Tribune columnist Fred Mitchell. It is a book of Sayers' memoirs that follows his career and traces out his life philosophy. "We're thrilled that this came together. It's a great book with a lot of great information about his outlook on life," said Lisa Eitner, general book buyer for the Oread Books division of KU Bookstores. After his time at Kansas, during which he became a two-time All-American halfback, Sayers was drafted by the Chicago Bears. He went on to a Hall of Fame career in seven seasons. All of Sayers' royalties from the book will be donated to the Gale Sayers Center, which is scheduled to open up this fall, Eitner said. The center will be located in Illinois. Its goal is to further the education of 8-to 12-year-old children in the center's area. Associated Press After football, Sayers returned to the University to complete his bachelor's degree and serve as an assistant athletics director. Sayers will be at Oread Books from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday. Eitner said Oread Books would give a portion in-store sales of Sayers' book that day to the Gale Sayers Center.

BY KATHERINE LESLIE kleslie@kansan.com Everyone loves a pajama party — but none more than University of Kansas students during their Nightshirt Parades in the early 1900s. Before the first home game of a season, hundreds of students dressed in nightclothes and caps would trek along Sixth street until they reached Massachusetts streets. Then, according to Mark D. Hersey, instructor in history, the students would form a long, single-file line — rather like a serpentine tack of sleepwalkers — that weaved all the way to South Park, where a happily crackling bonfire awaited the paraders. But where in the world did the idea for a mass traveling pajama party come from? The origins of the tradition are cloaked in mystery (or, more likely, sub-par record-keeping). Some accounts recall spontaneous nightshirt gatherings as far back as the 1890s — supposedly, in celebration of athletic victories — but the tradition of the actual Nightshirt Parade, ironically, came from an ending to another custom. While were all accustomed to class rivalries, the early 1900s sophomore and freshmen classes took such antagonisms a little far by today's standards, involving themselves in bouts of fistcuffs. Two main events, the "fall numeral fight" and the "Maypole Scrap," were University-sanctioned events. At least University officials (including the chancellor) knew about them but turned a blind eye, often viewing the bouts as a "bolster [to] manliness and class spirit." The classes would have scouting groups, who, if they were to meet, would begin fighting. According to Hersey, "One year, such fisticuces even erupted between the freshmen and sophomore classes during chapel." The scrapping came to a stop, however, when Chancellor Strong, after the injury of two freshman in 1904, asked the sophomore class to apologize to the freshman class and convinced both groups to end hostilities. They signed a formal treaty, bringing an end to the physical scrapping, but not necessarily to the rivalry. An official end to the class-wide rivalry came the night before the Jahyawkger gridiron squad's first game of the season. Students from both the freshman and sophomore classes dressed in their night wear and gathered in Central Park, before trekking down Massachusetts Street to the chancellor's home on Louisiana Street. Hersey's account has the revelers marching to a bass drum, shrieking "a Rock Chalk that could be heard all over town" and seating themselves in the Chancellor's front yard — all 200 of them. The noise, according to the Sept. 23, 1905 University Daily Kansan, "brought the Chancellor to the door," also dressed in bedclothes due to the late hour of the visit. The president of the sophomore class explained that "both classes were there in a great peace jubilee." Chancellor Strong replied, "I am glad to see you clothed in the robes of peace. I hope you have established a tradition that will take the place of the annual scrap. Wishing you a 'good-night,' I go again to my pleasant dreams." And that, as it goes, is the story. Well, not quite. Over the years, the parade's original beginnings in peace were forgotten by students and faculty alike, until much of the story was left to legend. Perhaps that is why the students began re-enacting history, only this time with paddles. The parade had changed from its mass gathering of nightshirt-clad men to pajama-clad men (women were not allowed in the parade until World War II) who formed a single-file line parading in a conga-like manner. Students who got out of line could be subjected to paddling by overeager student spirit groups. As years passed, participation in the parade began to be more and more compulsory, with paddling as punishment for slacking off. In 1925, according to an Oct. 4 issue of The Kansan, one student neglected to attend the parade, going on a date instead. About 50 paddlers caught him and he was forced to endure "countless resounding whacks" before joining the parade line minus his hat and with his coat turned inside out, according to Hersey. By 1938, enthusiasm for the parade had diminished as a result of the overreger paddling, until one student commented, "everyone enjoys the nightshirt parade except the guys who are parading." In 1941, a student had to be "rushed to the hospital with injuries suffered from a paddler." Subsequently, the University banned the use of paddles. Zeal for the parade continued to wane during and after World War II enough that females were finally allowed to attend to boost numbers), before the Nightshirt Parade was formally replaced by the Traditions Convocation in 1958.

King to eventually dub him "one of the greatest harmonica players of our time despite his age." Now 23 years old, Buster's bluesman roots and progression as a musician will come together tonight at 9 when the Brody Buster Band and 1950 DA, in which Buster plays guitar, perform back-to-back shows at Fatso's. Unlike the traditional blues he grew up with, Buster said 1950 DA, formerly the Diamond Hearts Club, had a sound similar to "Black Sabbath, but heavier." Mark Hennessy, Kansas City, Kan., graduate teaching assistant, handles vocals for the band while Justin Parr and Mike Ratzlaff plug in on drums and bass. Buster said he was interested in pursuing musical opportunities outside the blues but didn't have the band needed to produce the sound he wanted. "I had a bunch of songs already," Buster said. "I just couldn't pull them off in the blues band because the musicians aren't the right musicians, and the songs are too hard for me to sing and play at the same time. I can't sing that kind of music." Hennessy, the band's lead singer, said it was interesting to see how Buster's blues training transferred over to his sound with 1950 DA. "it's really interesting to watch him kind of wrangle this traditional blues tone and watch how he plays with heavy rock." Hennessy, who met Buster when they were neighbors in East Lawrence, said. Though he has no formal musical training, Buster is the resident songwriter for 1950 DA and the Brody Buster Band. He said he just allowed music to come to him rather than attempt to blindly find inspiration. Buster said he started out playing keyboard in the Diamond Hearts Club, but after both guitar players left the band he made the move to guitar. The change has produced dividends, allowing 1950 DA to "solidify" its sound, said Hennessy. After the change, Hennessy said Buster began writing songs for 1950 DA because he had the musical background and talent necessary to fit the band's needs. COLLEGE BASKETBALL ESPN spotlights Saturday's game College GameDay to broadcast from Allen Fieldhouse ESPN COLLEGE GAMEDAY KANSAN FILE PHOTO ESPN's "College GameDay" came to Lawrence for last year's game between KU and Texas A&M on Feb. 3, 2007. The crew returns this weekend for the Jayhawks' battle with the Wildcats. BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com Jayhawk fans will get a chance to yell for a few more hours this weekend. ESPN plans to broadcast its "College GameDay" program live from Allen Fieldhouse Saturday. The "College GameDay" crew will arrive in Lawrence on Friday and do a few segments from the fieldhouse for Friday night's "SportsCenter" program. But the real excitement will begin Saturday morning. Fans will be able to sit in on "College GameDay" and cheer for the Jayhawks before the team takes on the Kansas State Wildcats that evening. "I'm just hoping nobody camps outside. It's going to be chilly," said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony. "But I'm sure there will be some fans out that very early." Many fans already have plans to camp out to get good seats for the program. Some students will be camping in the fieldhouse for "College GameDay" as early as tonight. Sachi Sakumura, Lawrence sophomore, said that she went to "College GameDay" last year and planned to go again Saturday. "College GameDay" was really fun. It was awesome to see everyone so excited and to see Digger and Jay," Sakumura said. Marchiony said that he expected more than 5,000 fans to show up for the program. He said that number would likely be larger if the program were broadcast later in the day.

Despite Buster's lengthy musical background, that includes playing with musicians such as Quincy Jones, Isaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, Phil Collins, Keb Mo', Richie Havens and Melvin Taylor, Hennessy said Buster was just like any other musician. "He doesn't emit a glow," Hennessy said. "And he's not always the easiest guy to be around. He fucks up just like anyone else, but the things he brings to practice for me are he plays a real mean guitar, he's my buddy and I like shooting the shit with him." Buster has been a loyal member of the Lawrence music scene since moving to the area from California when he was in high school. He said although it continued to get more difficult to make a living in music as clubs opt for DJs over live acts, he enjoyed starting over musically after the "blur" that was his childhood. "This is round two." Buster said. "I've already hit the top then completely vanished. Now I'm on round two, and round two right now is going pretty fucking good."

[ Live sports updates during every Kansas basketball game. ] KANSAN COM 4A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2008 ENTREPRENEURSHIP Student invention assists elderly Award-winning design garners $7,200 first prize BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com Two University of Kansas students are planning to mass produce and sell an invention that won them first place at the first Mark L. Morris Junior New Venture Development Competition. Ann Fitzgerald, Southlake, Texas, senior, said she didn't want to go into any details about the invention, which they called the Silver-Gerald Shower Chair, because it was in the process of being patented, but said its function would enhance an elderly person's ability to shower. "Its purpose is to allow easy access and cleaning of the perineal region for the elderly," she said. "I would consider it an expansion to an item already in circulation." Fitzgerald and her partner, Jana Silverman, 2007 graduate, said they now planned to use the money they won from the competition — $7,200 — to start their own company, which they'll call Silver-Gerald. They said they expected to invest about $50,000 into their new business. "Initially it was $25,000, but after talking to venture capitalists we'll probably double that amount," Fitzgerald said. She said they planned to raise the money by entering their invention into various other entrepreneurial contests across the country. Silverman said neither of them was worried about the initial investment because after doing extensive market research, they were confident that their target market was guaranteed to increase. Fitzgerald predicts an annual growth of about 11 to 15 percent until 2020. They expect the first chair to be on the market by January 2009. Fitzgerald and Silverman began designing the product in August 2007 before they had even heard about the new venture competition. "By the time we found out about the competition, we had all our prototypes and knew all of our facts," Silverman said. Fitzgerald said after coming up with the idea they began researching other industries within their Standard Industrial Classification code. "Each product has a specific code it sells to," she said. "Ours is medical Once they found their niche and competition, they began researching what materials they'd use, their branding concept, their target audience and the product's probable price range, which they said would probably be $60 to $100 per unit. bath aids." After doing extensive research, the two drew up hundreds of sketches for the product's design. "We had about four inches worth of sketches when we were done," Fitzgerald said. After they came up with the right design, they built several prototypes using cardboard, clay, wood and plastic. They even had friends, neighbors and relatives test out their designs. The entire project, they said, cost them about $1,500 and more than 500 hours of their time. "We knew going in that it was going to be expensive, but it was something we were both very passionate about that we wanted to pursue," Fitzgerald said. Once they had their finished product, they named it the May Chair, after May Tveit, professor of industrial design, who they said gave STATE AUDITORS OF CALIFORNIA ana Silverman, Schaumburg, Ill., 2007 graduate, left, and Ann Fitzgerald, Southlake, Texas, senior, invented a chair that will make it easier for elderly people to shower.

OPINION 7A FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2008 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COMMENTARY WENT "The government seems to really care for me if it is asking for tuition relief and trying to force the colleges to do so. However, I'm always skeptical about the government. If it wants to help a student like me, why doesn't it stop decreasing my Federal Pell Grant?" Max Rinkel Who should help pay for college? JESSE BROWN Little do I know that as I walk to class, I am just a pawn stuck in the middle of a battlefield. The battle is that of government wanting to stick its paws in the college endowment business and the state higher education officials retaliating by swiping them away. Not only am I stuck in the middle, but I am torn. On a normal school day, I get assigned loads of homework by my professors and teachers who expect the best from me, and I have the desire to live up to those expectations. However, to make a living here in Lawrence, I have to work 25 to 30 hours a week at Mr. Goodcocks so that I can pay rent, live at least a little comfortably and try to put a dent in my debt to two credit cards. The only reason I'm in debt is because of book costs and car repairs. Seeing how my federal Pell Grant amount is decreasing every year, as well as a sufficient amount of loan money, my debt is only going to drastically increase when I graduate. In the little meantime that I get, I like to party at least a little bit. I think I deserve it. On Feb. 18, the Lawrence Journal-World published an article about the government's desire to become more involved in the college endowment business. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) propose that university endowments pay out 5 percent of their assets each year. How is that for party cooperation? According to the article, endowments — funds that are donated to support a university — increased by 18 percent in 2007. The article continues to state that tuition has gone up as well as college presidents' salaries. In the article, Grassley says, "It's fair to ask whether a college kid should have to wash dishes in the dining hall to pay his tuition when his college has a billion dollars in the bank." While I read all this, it all looks good for a student like me. The government seems to really care for me if it is asking for tuition relief and trying to force the colleges to do so. However, I'm always skeptical about the government. If it wants to help a student like me, why doesn't it stop decreasing my Federal Pell Grant? It makes me wonder if the government may have ulterior motives. On Feb. 13, The University Daily Kansan published a similar article with more representation from the KU Endowment Association. In the article, Dale Seuferling, the president of the KU Endowment Association, said "a federal regulation on the management of private endowments and mandating policies on what private donors contribute and they entrust to the Endowment Association, who they expect to carry out their wishes, would be an unprecedented and unnecessary intrusion" I couldn't agree more. I believe the government should keep its hands out of this business. The only reason I believe it wants to is because it sees a potential profit. This article continues, saying that last fall a rumor was circulating that a new federal bill would force universities that had more than $500 million in their endowments to use 5 percent of those funds each year. If the university refused, the federal government would begin taxing those funds. While it's only a rumor, it's easy to see why the government would want to get involved, which Snoop Dogg can explain is to "make money, money, make money, money!" Still, tuition has risen in many colleges, including the University of Kansas. In The Kansan's article, Seuferling said he understood the government's concern about the rising cost of tuition, but he said each university would be a better judge of how to use its endowed funds. The university may be a better judge for the school, but certainly not for the students. Seuferling said the association used to spend 5 percent of its funds, but after the past four years, it decreased the amount to 4.6 percent because of the dramatic change in the market. The students are also reacting to this dramatic change in the market. It doesn't help the common student that he or she has to pay $3 a gallon for gas, work more hours to pay off his or her debts and grow accustomed to a rise in tuition. It doesn't help me that when I do graduate from this fine university (and I am proud to be a Jiahawk) that I will venture into my future as a stress-induced freak from all my debt, and I'll have to live with bad eating habits, resorting to the McDonald's Dollar Menu, and possibly die from a heart attack before the age of 40. Brown is a Lee's Summit, Mo., junior in journalism. Childhood nostalgia inspires trip down Rainbow Road COMMENTARY ANNIE SIMMERMON I'm young on the outside but getting progressively older on the inside. As the years pass by, new technologies and forms of entertainment emerge, but being the creature of habit that I am, I can't let go of those things I loved growing up. I'm beginning to feel like an old person. For example, I will never buy a Wii. It's just too advanced. It's like alien technology or something. No sir, no Wiis for me. I'm sticking to Mario Kart and Aladdin on my Super Nintendo. Never was there a better Rainbow Road level than in the Super Nintendo version. Great soundtrack that game had. Getting squarer shouldn't have such a negative connotation. We all can't be young forever. Imagine if there were 40-year-old dry humpining in the boom-boom room at The Hawk. Disturbing enough as it is, people think that because it's dark in there that they're invisible or something. But the real question is: Is becoming a square a bad thing? After all, doesn't the saying go that "it's hip to be square"? For example, Rocko's Modern Life, what a phenomenal show. I mean, Spunky, Rocko's dog, is probably one of the best characters in television history. Just the way his legs stick up in the air when he sits is so endearing. And Hefer, what a looney that cow is. No one can forget Filburt, the nerdy turtle that provides an endless amount of subtle comic relief. It's genius, I say, genius. The point is that eventually we are all going to grow up and become behind the times, and there's nothing we can do about it. So why not enjoy these old things that have defined us as we've gotten older? There was a Rocko marathon on the other day on the Nickton channel, and I watched it all day. It was awesome. While watching, I just couldn't help thinking about when I was little and I used to loath watching TV with my dad, because he was always watching old black-and-white westerns and war movies. Will Rocko, someday, seem as ancient as those old films? Are my kids going to be so bored watching TV with me that they'll say, "Jeez Mom, I don't wanna watch Rocko. That show's weird." But now I've realized the "squareness" has gone beyond technology. I have trouble trying new restaurants. Never have I been more able to relate to my grandparents (who eat at Hardee's and Applebee's religiously). They're so good. I never get ice cream from anywhere else. I've ordered a Wendy's frosty my whole life, and they do more than suffice. Will I ever move past a Wendy's frosty? Maybe finding joy in familiarity and routine are hidden innate traits of human behavior as we age. Therefore, I am just progressing along the normal path of humanity and to maintain that humanity I must continue to indulge in Wendy's, watch old cartoons and play only Super Nintendo. Call me square, but the past is just too good to let go. Simmermon is a Leawood senior in journalism.

O'Neill is 20 years old, but her actual birth date is Feb. 29. Sarah O'Neill celebrates her fifth birthday today, and O'Neill is a sophomore in college. No, the Lenexa native isn't the world's youngest college student. "I'm making her blow out a cake with five candles," said Allie Hasting, O'Neill's Chi Omega sorority sister and Littleton, Colo., sophomore. O'Neill isn't alone. She's a leap-year baby. Like thousands of other people, O'Neill has the misfortune of being born on Feb. 29 - a day that comes around once every four years. According to the Honor Society of Leap Year Babies, an organization started in 1997 by Peter Brouwer and Raenell Dawn, both leap-year babies, to promote leap-year baby "I think it's more entertaining for everyone else than it is for me," she said. On O'Neill's 16th birthday – or fourth if you're talking literally – her parents threw a surprise party. Among the gifts were a baby rattle and Barbie dolls. awareness, the United States is home to approximately 200,000 leap year babies — or leapers. "I think my parents felt bad for me," O'Neill said. Brouwer and Dawn maintain a Web site full of facts and information about leap-year babies. Brower said the real goal of the Web site, www.leapeyearday.com, was to put an emphasis on leapers. "We sort of blow it out of proportion," Brouwer said. "They usually don't get a day to celebrate. We make them feel special." Brouwer's organization also addresses the problems leapers face. Brouwer said most software didn't recognize that Feb. 29 was an actual day, and many law enforcement agencies were oblivious to the day as well. "We get stories every year about people who have had problems with police officers, because the officers think they are lying about their birthday." And while being a leap-year baby may be a pain, having leap years in our calendar is a necessity, said Barbara Anthony-Twarog, KU professor of physics and astronomy. "Wed be finding ourselves a little further and further behind, with respect to the seasons," Anthony-Twyer said. The reason is simple. It takes approximately 365.25 days for the Earth to revolve around the sun. Thus, every four years, one extra day must be added to balance the calendar. "That mismatch was noticed thousands of years ago," Anthony-Twarog said. But Anthony-Twarog said leap-year math was a little more complicated than most people realize. Science aside, O'Neill said having a leap year birthday was a nuisance. What day do you celebrate? The Earth actually takes slightly less than 365.25 days to revolve around the sun. To correct this problem, years that are divisible by 100 are not leap years - unless they are also divisible by 400. "All the way through elementary school, I hated it," O'Neill said. "Everyone wants to have their birthday. It only comes around once a year, and I could never say, 'it's my birthday.'" O'Neill said she would do most of celebrating on the 28th, but she always opened one present on March 1. O'Neill said she was 8 years old when she realized she had a rare birthday. Every time she had a birthday party or brought birthday cookies to elementary school, O'Neill had to explain that it wasn't her real birthday. Then comes the most daunting question for leap-year babies. "That'd be my birthday, actually, if I had one." —Edited by Jared Duncan {The Place To Be Cool} Look & Lease Weekend Special!

NR 2007 WE'RE NOT SHARING KANSAS TERRA OUT YOUR RNHOLE 》 INCARCERATION American prison rate at all-time high BY DAVID CRARY ASSOCIATED PRESS Using state-by-state data, the report says 2,319,258 Americans were in jail or prison at the start of 2008 — one out of every 99.1 adults. Whether per capita or in raw numbers, it's more than any other nation. NEW YORK - For the first time in U.S. history, more than one of every 100 adults is in jail or prison, according to a new report documenting America's rank as the world's No. 1 incarcerator. It urges states to curtail corrections spending by placing fewer low-risk offenders behind bars. The report, released Thursday by the Pew Center on the States, said the 50 states spent more than $49 billion on corrections last year, up from less than $11 billion 20 years earlier. The rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than for higher education spending, the report said. The steadily growing inmate population "is saddling cash-strapped states with soaring costs they can ill afford and failing to have a clear impact either on recidivism or overall crime," the report said. "We're seeing more and more states being creative because of tight budgets," she said in an interview. "They want to be tough on crime. They want to be a law-and-order state. But they also want to save money, and they want to be effective." Susan Urahn, managing director of the Pew Center on the States, said budget woes are pressuring many states to consider new, cost-saving corrections policies that might have been shunned in the recent past for fear of appearing soft on crime. The report cited Kansas and Texas as states that have acted decisively to slow the growth of their inmate population. They are making greater use of community supervision for low-risk offenders and employing sanctions other than reimprisonment for offenders who commit technical violations of parole and probation rules. "The new approach, born of bipartisan leadership, is allowing the two states to ensure they have enough prison beds for violent offenders while helping less dangerous lawbreakers become productive, taxpaying citizens," the report said. While many state governments have shown bipartisan interest in curbing prison growth, there also are persistent calls to proceed cautiously. "We need to be smarter," said David Muhlhausen, a criminal justice expert with the conservative Heritage Foundation. "We're not incarcerating all the people who commit serious crimes. But we're also probably incarcerating people who don't need to be." According to the report, the inmate population increased last year in 36 states and the federal prison system. The largest percentage increase — 12 percent — was in Kentucky, where Gov. Steve Beshear highlighted the cost of corrections in his budget speech last month. He noted that the state's crime rate had increased only about 3 percent in the past 30 years, while the state's inmate population has increased by 600 percent. Four states — Vermont, Michigan, Oregon and Connecticut — now spend more on corrections than they do on higher education, the report said. "These sad facts reflect a very distorted set of national priorities," said Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, referring to the full report. "Perhaps, if we adequately invested in our children and in education, kids who now grow up to be criminals could become productive workers and taxpayers." The nationwide figures, as of Jan. 1, include 1,596,127 people in state and federal prisons and 723,131 in local jails. That's out of almost 230 million American adults.

"The way I look at it," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "you have a couple teams who really need a win." Saturday's 8 p.m. game matches two teams who were playing much better in January. Back then, Kansas State's young team was just starting to jell under coach Frank Martin. Kansas had been rolling opponents for a month. K-State won that game, but the Jayhawks, despite their recent struggles, should fare better on Saturday. This time around, there's no 25-game Manhattan winning streak on their minds and no perfect record to keep intact. All of that took a toll on Kansas the first game. Senior guard Russell Robinson remembers feeling extra nerves. "Believe it or not, that put pressure on us," Robinson said of the streaks. "This time around we're just trying to get back to the level we're capable of." The loss to Kansas State was cathartic but also negative. They didn't have as much pressure from being undefeated, but the Jayhawks felt a hangover for a while. Like Robinson said, they haven't quite been at the same level. That was evident in the two defeats Kansas sustained after losing to the Wildcats. The Jayhawks played sluggishly. They didn't rebound or shoot. No player could step into the role of a consistent scorer. Wednesday night against Iowa State, Self and the players said some of those problems were solved. They've now-realized they can come back from losses. It just took a while to adjust to the feeling of losing. "We're a tougher team by far because we understand that we can be beat," sophomore guard Sherron Collins said. "Anybody can beat anybody. We have a whole different mindset." Because of that new attitude the Jayhawks discovered Wednesday night, they aren't searching for a victory as desperately as their neighbors to the west. The Wildcats should be out for blood just as much as they were a month ago. Back on Jan. 30, no team hungered for a victory against Kansas more than the Wildcats. Angry fans turned Bramlage Coliseum into an electric, dysfunctional house of contempt, cheering more against Kansas than for their own team. The players responded with a streak of intensity and toughness that the Jayhawks couldn't match. K-State wanted to win then to end the streak. Now they want to win to end another streak, one that dates back to 1996. That was the last year the Wildcats made the NCAA Tournament. When the fans stormed the court after beating Kansas and lifted freshman forwards Beasley and Bill Walker up on their shoulders, postseason glory seemed like a guarantee. It doesn't anymore. Since then, the Wildcats have fallen far from their perch atop the conference and are losers of four of their last five games. K-State is on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament, and a victory at Kansas would likely put them on solid footing for a bid. Oh, they'll be energized all right, and the Jayhawks better be too, if they want to win. The guards will have to do a better job on freshman guard Jacob Pullen. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur will have to stay out of four trouble and guard Walker better from the three-point line. More than anything, Kansas will have to play smarter down the stretch. KU's experience didn't shine through in the second half against Kansas State. A younger team outhustled and out-executed the Jayhawks during the most important part of the game. Rush didn't want to guarantee a victory, but Self at least promised they wouldn't be lacking energy or toughness when they have to battle the Wildcats in a game that both teams really need to win. "I think that our guys will be as excited as they've been all year," Self said. "I would be totally disappointed if it wasn't a great effort game for us." Edited by Russell Davies Mindv Ricketts/KANSAI 30 STATE Michael Beasley, KSU freshman forward, boxes out against senior center Sasha Kaun in the teams' first meeting. KSU Preview Beasley guarding Kansas coach Bill Self said the Jayhawks would talk more Thursday night about how they would defend K-State superstar Michael Beasley. He wouldn't specify if Kansas would play zone but dropped a few hints. "I've seen teams play box and one and he gets 30. I've seen teams play man to man and he gets 40. What you have to do is what works best for your team." Gameday ritual Self said it wasn't healthy for his team to sit around and watch basketball on TV all day before a late night game like the one on Saturday. He thinks it could affect the performance of Kansas and Kansas State in a negative way. Russell Robinson disagreed. "On days where we play live, I watch TV all day," he said. "It helps you relax." Robinson will likely kick his couch not habit Robinson will likely kick his couch potato habit slightly on Saturday. He doesn't like to watch when Kansas is featured all day. 》 SPORTS FANS KANSAS BASKETBALL Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN *Students find ways to pass the time while camping out inside Fieldhouse yesterday afternoon for seats to this Saturday's basketball game against Kansas State. All camping groups must have at least one camper present at all times when camping or the group loses its spot in line.* Campers show devotion to the Jayhawks BY BRYAN WHEELER Scattered around the northwest lobby of Allen Fieldhouse, students sit waiting. Some are lying on air mattresses, some are sitting in camping chairs and others are just leaning against the concrete walls of the Fieldhouse. Laptops, iPods or books keep students occupied in the dimly lit lobby. Some students have been camping since Feb. 17. All students who have gathered in the lobby of Allen Fieldhouse have come together with their sights set on one thing: Kansas basketball. Kansas basketball campers are some of the most die-hard Jayhawk fans you will ever find. When referring to the basketball team, these fans are personally invested in their beloved Jayhawks and refer to them as "we." Their knowledge of Kansas basketball and its opponents would seem beyond belief for a casual fan. Take, for instance, Naomi Wilfred, Boston sophomore. Wilfred, who was camping out Sunday, can tell you just what she thinks about freshman standout Michael Beasley "I think it's ridiculous Michael Beasley can put down 44 points against Baylor and still lose," Wilfred said. "I think he's phenomenal, but he's not as good as Kevin Durant." "It doesn't look like we want to win that bad," said Chris Miller, Omaha, Neb., freshman. "It just doesn't look like we're playing hard enough." Some students will offer an explanation of Kansas' performance as of late. Others just plain don't like Kansas State. "I hate 'em," said Don Atkinson, Overland Park sophomore. SEE WHEELER ON PAGE 7B TRACK AND FIELD Team competes for title BY DANNY NORDSTROM dnordstrom@kansan.com Sprint and hurdles coach Elisha Brewer's advice is simple. This weekend at the Big 12 Track and Field Championships in Lincoln, Neb., she will tell her athletes to "bring it." Brewer elaborated on her simple, yet powerful, message. "You're prepared," she said. "You're ready to perform your best and know that your best is good enough. Bring it." Today and tomorrow, the 10th-ranked women and 28th-ranked men will battle for the Big 12 title. The Jayhawks will look to better their sixth place men's finish and seventhe place women's finish in 2007. To do this, Kansas will bring three defending Big 12 indoor champions as well as 30 Jayhawks who are ranked in the top 10 in the conference. A week off from competition should give the team plenty of rest and time to prepare for the conference championships. Senior paultar Libby Harmon commented on the much-needed resting time. "It's more mental rest because competition is very mentally demanding," she said. "It's nice to relax and take your mind away from track for a weekend and get refreshed for the Big 12s." Harmon, who placed 7th in the outdoor conference championships last year, is extremely excited to compete this weekend. "The Big 12 Conference is a power house," she said. "It is one of the most stacked conferences in the country. It's an exciting atmosphere." One lajayhaw who has never experienced the exciting atmosphere that the Big 12 Championships bring is Missouri Baptist University transfer Nickesha Anderson. The junior sprinter posted this year's fastest 200-meter time in the world at her last competition and is looking to better it. She discussed how her recent performance put pressure on her to do well this weekend. Brewer feels that Anderson will do very well at the Big 12s. "When it comes down to it, she knows how to get it done," she said to "I have to realize that everybody is coming after me," she said. "It's going to be hard and I'm going to kick it start to finish. I'm going to bring everything that I have." While Anderson has never been to the Big 12 Championships, senior pole vaulter Kate Sultanova definitely has. The defending women's indoor pole vault Big 12 champion currently has the highest women's vault in the country. She commented on what the atmosphere at the conference championship was like. "There's just more pressure," she said. "I'ts a battle. You go there and even if you're ranked number one it doesn't mean that you're going to win." In her last meet at Arkansas, Sultanova began using a taller and thicker pole that would give her more spring and ultimately send her higher. The bigger pole requires more strength and technical skill, but is a step that Sultanova is willing to take in order to defend her title. SEE TRACK ON PAGE 2B BASEBALL BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com shroyer@kansan.com To say the Kansas baseball team is off to a slower start than usual would be an under-statement. Never before under coach Ritch Price, and not since 1999, have the Jayhawks started a season 2-4, where they now sit heading into this weekend's Music City Classic in Nashville. Tenn. Although Kansas has struggled primarily at the plate, Price is counting on his pitching staff to reverse the team's fortune. This weekend, that responsibility will fall on the shoulders of junior left-handers Nick Czyz (0-1) and Sam Freeman (1-0) and sophomore lefty Shaeffer Hall (0-0). "The big thing is we need to continue to pitch well," Price said. "Nick Czyz did not give us a quality outing in his last performance and neither did Shaefer Hall. We're counting on both of those guys taking a step forward and giving us a quality out." Against Hawaii-Hilo last weekend, Czyz Czyz will throw today against the No. 7 Vanderbilt Commodores (3-1), who will send out sophomore left-handler Mike Minor (1-0). Minor, a $13^{th}$ round draft pick out of high school, was stellar in his first start of the season. Facing the defending National Champion Oregon State Beavers, he allowed just one run on five hits in six innings, while striking out six and earning the victory. and Hall combined to allow nine runs in 7.2 innings, striking out just four, but walking just as many. Freeman, on the other hand, salvaged the final game of the Hawaii-Hilo series, striking out four in six innings, allowing just two runs en route to victory. However, during their victory against the Beavers, the Commodore offense took a devastating blow, losing All-American third baseman, junior Pedro Alvarez for six weeks to a broken hand. Vanderbilt, with five.300 hitters in the lineup, is carrying on in his absence. Hall will throw tomorrow against Xavier (1-2) and senior right-hander Michael Lucas (0-0), who should prove less formidable than Minor. Lucas struggled in Xavier's only victory of the Coca-Cola Classic last weekend against Fairfield. In 3.2 innings, he allowed seven runs on nine hits and a walk, netting a lofty 17.18 ERA. Offensively, senior left fielder Robbie Kelley and sophomore first baseman Zac Richard lead the Musketeers. Each hit a home run last weekend and is batting .500 and .462, respectively. Freeman will anchor the rotation once again, this time against Iowa (1-2) and junior right-hander Steve Turnbull (0-0) will pitch on Sunday. Turnbull did Lucas one better last weekend, fetching a 18.00 ERA after surrendering six earned runs in three innings against Notre Dame on six hits and two walks. The Hawkeye offense is led by senior center fielder Caleb Curry. Through three games, Curry is batting .692 with five RBIs and has yet to be caught in five steal attempts. Contrasting how hot Curry has been is how cold the Kansas lineup has been through six games, particularly the upperclassmen. Only junior center fielder Nick Faunce, .462, and junior catcher Baku Afenir, 400, .478. "The guys that are struggling out of the gate are the same guys who are the proven hiters on our team, who have been successful before and are going to hit", Price said. are hitting above .275 for Kansas. Last year's leading hitter, senior left fielder John Allman, is hitting just 211. Senior right fielder Ryne Price, who led the Jayhawks in home runs last year, is hitting .150 with just one extra-base hit. Price's only explanation is that his players aren't yet up to game speed. Price said his players, after hitting in cages all preseason and facing slower pitchers in Hawaii, were now trying to catch up to faster Division I pitchers. If they don't catch up soon, they may find themselves flirting with the 2-9 start the 1999 Jawhaws got off to. As a team, Kansas has struck out 56 times while compiling just 47 hits. Wednesday against Arkansas, Kansas struck out 16 times and had only four hits. However, Nashville has a way of bringing out the best in the Jayhawks. Plus, they have a reputation to protect. Junior left-hander Andy Marks had a setback on Wednesday in his recovery from a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder. "He wasn't able to finish his bullpen, so he'll get in and see our trainer and get evaluated," Price said. "We'll see where we go from there. Injury update Andy Marks "I think it's one of those things where they tell you, you're going to go forward and you're going to go backward. That's part of the rehab process." "We've won that tournament the last two times we've been there," Price said," so we're not ducking them." —Edited by Russell Davies 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COLLEGE BASEBALL Rundown of the season FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2008 TEXAS LONGHORNS The Longhorns jumped to a 5-0 start this season behind the onslaught of runs put on the board.

TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS Record----4-2 The Red Raiders have been all over the place in the 2008 season, because they have not been able to find consistency behind the plate. Texas Tech got shut out in its first game of the season only to follow up with a 16-run outing. The following game, the Red Raiders scored 6 runs in their second loss of the season, but they would soon recover and score 16 runs in another win. The Red Raiders will compete in the Minute Maid College Classic this weekend, playing Houston, Tennessee and Rice.

THE PARK CASE STUDY AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEMS In this case study, we will design a system to automate the control of a building's interior lighting. The system should be able to adjust the intensity of lights based on the ambient light conditions. Design Specifications: 1. **Input**: Ambient light levels (e.g., natural sunlight, artificial lights) and room temperature. 2. **Output**: Automatic lighting control with varying brightness levels. 3. **Algorithm**: Optimal lighting control using a neural network-based algorithm. 4. **Hardware**: Microcontroller unit (MCU), LED driver, and sensing modules. Implementation: - **Microcontroller Unit**: Use an Arduino microcontroller to process input signals from sensors. - **LED Driver**: Connect the MCU to a digital output pin of the LED controller. - **Sensor Modules**: Use a proximity sensor or phototransistor to detect light changes. - **Neural Network**: Train a machine learning model to predict lighting conditions based on sensor data. Testing: - Test the system in various lighting scenarios. - Measure the accuracy of the predicted lighting conditions. - Evaluate the performance of different control algorithms. Conclusion: The proposed system is designed to automate the control of indoor lighting. It achieves optimal lighting conditions by adapting to changing ambient light levels and room temperatures. This solution enhances the functionality and efficiency of the building's interior, improving energy savings and comfort for occupants.

Sure, the Cyclones are just 3-4 at home in conference games, but three of those losses were to ranked teams. No. 8 Baylor, No. 10 Oklahoma and No. 21 Kansas State all barely escaped Ames, winning by an average of just 3.7 points. Kansas will need to be at the top of its game to beat Iowa State, and that's bad news for a team that limps in on a three game losing streak. Freshman center Krysten Boogaard needs to recapture the fire and focus that helped her record 20 points and 12 rebounds in the Jayhawks' Feb. 2 victory against the Cyclones. QUESTION MARK Can Kansas out-score Iowa state in the second half? In 14 Big 12 games, the Jayhawks scored more than their opponent in the second half only twice. In the other 12 games they tied in the second half once and were outscored the remaining 11 halves, sometimes by as much as 16. Kansas is good at getting halftime leads of 4 to 8 points but that really doesn't matter when they're great at letting an opponent go on big second-half runs. Coach Bonnie Henrickson should bring in Gene Hackman to give a "Hoosiers"-like halftime speech to get her team fired up, or else figure out how to consistently get 20-point halftime leads.

B. GUJANGI Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard 15.0, pp. 7.4 pp McCray recorded her sixth double-double of the year Wednesday night, but she'll probably most remember the game for her charging foul with a chance to tie the game and 13 seconds on the clock. Still, McCray is on a tear of late — during the last five games she's averaging 18 points and 8.4 rebounds per game — and shouldn't have any trouble getting 20 points Iowa State (17-10,6-8) Alison Lacey 6-foot sophomore guard <14.3 ppg, 40 percent 3PT and shouldn't have any to against the Cyclone defense. Lacey is the engine that drives the Cyclones. She is a tough, physical guard that has no qualms about mixing it up in the lane, on dribble penetration or stepping back and draining shots from behind the arc. In the first game with Kansas, Lacey led Iowa State with 23 points and hit four three pointers. If the Cyclones are to win, she will have to carry much of the load. ★★★★☆ Jacobs LaChelda Jacobs, 5-foot-10 sophomore guard — 5.3 ppg, 52 percent shooting Jacobs slashed and cut her way to eight points on 4-for-4 shooting against Texas, displaying the play-making ability that's earned her more minutes lately. She still has turnover troubles but it seems almost everyone on the team shares in that plight. The Jayhawks simply look like a better team with her on the court. ★★★☆★★ Praveen Ravindra Nicollette Smith, 6-foot-2 freshman forward Smith - 6.5 ppg,34 percent 3PT Against the Longhorns, Smith was a paltry 1-of-5 from beyond the threepoint line. However, each of those misses went about halfway down the basket before rattling back out. She needs to keep up her confidence and continue firing treys until they start dropping, which shouldn't take too long. ★★★★ KANSAS 00 Lacey Kelsey Bolte 6-foot-1 freshman guard < 10.3 ppg, 5.4 rpg ★★★★ Bolte will be a star in the Big 12 Conference for the next three seasons. Not only does she have the size to rebound, but Bolte shoots 41 percent from three point range and 48 percent from the field. She is as efficient as they come. Her 1 for 5 performance from behind the arc against Kansas was a fluke, but it may have cost Iowa State the game as they lost by only three. Odds are she will find her touch in Ames. ★★★☆★ Bolte Heather Ezell 5-foot-9 junior guard > 9.6 pcp, 3.1 ap Taylor Bern Ezell is the quintessential glue player. She makes the tough plays, is smart defensively and makes her free throws. Most good teams have a player like her, and if the Cyclones hadn't lost most of their firepower in the paint to injuries, this season could be much different. She is second on the team in assists, and can handle the ball should Lacey find herself in foul trouble. 10.00 ★★★☆★★ Ezell LaChelda Jacobs —Andrew Wiebe ISU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Without junior forward Nicky Wieben the Cyclones have been forced to rely almost completely on their perimeter players to provide offensive punch. Fortunately that punch is fairly potent and Iowa State has managed to pull together enough to win six conference games, most surprisingly at Oklahoma State. A narrow loss to the Jayhawks in early February doesn't mean much at this point with a game to be played in the always rowdy Hilton Coliseum. QUESTION MARK Can the Cyclones capitalize on home court advantage? The Jahwaks may have won 53-50 in Allen Fieldhouse, but a trip to Ames is never easy. Iowa State lost to Baylor by five a week ago, and Kansas isn't playing at the same level it was when the two first met. The Cyclones also boast one of the most boisterous crowds in the country. The Hilton Coliseum is packed with an average of more than 9,000 fans for every Cyclone home game. INTRAMURALS Playoffs heat up competition White Ben Can't Jump defeats Team Johnson 57-48 BY WHITNEY HAMILTON whamilton@kansan.com There might be 16 more days until Selection Sunday for the NCAA, but things have already begun heating up in the Student Recreation Fitness Center on Wednesday night. Team Johnson and White Ben Can't Jump battled it out to get closer to the championship game. With a nine-point lead, White Ben Can't Jump took home the 57-48 victory against Team Johnson. Both teams played strong defense, caught rebounds when necessary and communicated to help teammates. Team Johnson had tight passes, but balls bounced off the rim instead of going through the net. White Ben Can't Jump's ability to shoot three-pointers helped in awkward spots behind the line. Throughout the night, Sam Simpson, Columbus freshman, shot multiple three-pointers to help his team. The tiredness of both teams quickly showed as the second half started. During free throws, both teams had time to catch a breath before getting back into the competitive game. The second half allowed White Ben Can't Jump to take a big lead. Some nice low passing and an assist from Anthony Roberts, Baxter Springs freshman, to Kevin James, Springfield, Mo., junior, gave White Ben Can't Jump two more points to add to its score. However, before White Ben Can't Jump got too comfortable with the lead, Team Johnson quickly responded and tied up the score at 36. As the second half ended, both teams took a quick water break and reevaluated game plans. White Ben Can't Jump led 24-21, and with the score so close, it was anybody's game. Turnovers hurt both teams as players made careless mistakes or got trapped by the opponent. Also, foul calls made members of both teams angry at the referees. Each team thought the fouls were either not fair or should have been called. "We got gypped on calls," said Tarek Shaath, Dodge City freshman and Team Johnson player. Getting the rebound after a foul shot gave White Men Can't Jump a chance to shoot from the outside. Roberts found an opening on the wing and scored a three-pointer that barely touched the net. As the game continued, Team Johnson started to up the ante and stayed on top of its opponent. Simpson got trapped in the right corner a couple of times and had to pass the ball blindly to teammates. Team Johnson attempted to distract its opponent by yelling during shots, but that didn't seem to help. Team Johnson player, said. "We're not winning the national championship or anything." With two minutes left in the game, Team Johnson received three consecutive foul calls on different players, hurting its chances for a comeback. Bench players for White Ben Can't Jump cheered from the sidelines. "We went out there and just played and had fun," Zach Olsen, Madison, Wisc., freshman and "We didn't want to foul or turn over the ball," Robb Lamb, Republic, Mo., junior and White Ben Can't Jump player, said. "We wanted to be smart with the ball." As the seconds ticked, it became apparent who was winning the game, but each team continued to play hard until the end. White Ben Can't Jump advanced to the next game in the playoffs and will play Team Lego today. Edited by Patrick De Oliveira your time... your space... your choice... www.ecowley.com for online and hybrid classes COWLEY COLLEGE www.cowley.edu/c COWLEY COLLEGE www.cowley.edu/c WHEELER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) One student even chose to become a Kansas fan as part of a sibling rivalry. "I've been a fan since my senior year when I got accepted and my brother decided to go to K-State, I was like, 'Eww, I will never be a Wildcat,' Kristin Brokenbough, Olathe sophomore, said. As of Monday, there were 87 camping groups, which can have a maximum of 30 people. Many of these camping groups had odd names such as "I love lamp," or "The Sean Hamilton Experience." Not surprisingly, there were a number of groups with explicit names not fit for print, many of which were directed toward Kansas State. For anyone who isn't camping, questions must certainly arise as to what on Earth entices these students to wait so long for a game. Some people may question whether these students even go to class, have lives or take care of their studies. But for some students, camping out is a good time to work on their studies. "It's like a study hall," Miller said. "I like coming here because I actually get stuff done." Some come with a particular interest in where they sit as well. "I'm not a fan of the band side because it's really loud there," said Wilfred. "I'm going to try and sit by the players' bench. It's awesome, you like get to see player's sweat dripping Some groups just want to make sure they get a seat in the bleachers. down." "We've been camping since Wednesday," Kim Ferguson, Lawrence freshman, said. "I don't think we'll be front row, but that's OK. I think we'll probably be in the middle section somewhere, hopefully." Come Saturday, the students currently waiting inside the walls of the fieldhouse will enter into "the Phog" and fill the bleachers of the student section. They may not have had to pay a hefty fee for tickets, monetarily speaking, but these student campers have paid their dues. - Edited by Sam Lamb Jump Off SUBS 843-SUBS (7827) Vault in lavender only 1/2 PRICE SUB purchase only a deal Valid in Lawrence only 843-SUBS (7827) 1/2 PRICE SUB For purchase at KANSAN UNDERGROUND 50¢ Off Any Jump!

KANSAS STATE, 8 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse, ESPN KU TIP-OFF AT A GLANCE We'll find out today whether Kansas is closer to the force it appeared to be in December and January, Kansas State ruined the Jayhawks perfect record and shattered their confidence when they beat them at Bramlage. The players and Self said they started to play with confidence again against Iowa State on Wednesday. But the Cyclones are far from even an average team. The Jayhawks have a real test tomorrow. This is the most important game of the season so far. Win, and maybe everything can be rosy again. Lose, and gloom will follow the team for weeks. This is too easy. It's Darrell Arthur. K-State couldn't stop the big fella when he was on the court in Manhattan. He scored 12 points WHOTOWATCH and grabbed seven rebounds in just 17 minutes. Fouls killed him, though, and without Arthur, Kansas couldn't execute well enough offensively. If Did Kansas learn from the first game against K-State? Arthur can play smart, no one will be able to stop him from scoring. He should go for at least 18 points. QUESTION MARK Arthur Hope so, because the Wildcats put on a show the first time. They got too many open jocks from three-point range, and Jacob Pullen scored way too many points (20). Pullen was the bigger surprise. Kansas has to stop him because when he scores, K-State has three major scoring options in Pullen, Beasley and Walker. If all three of them have good games, the Jayhawks will have a tough time winning. HEARYE, HEARYE "Especially the way they played us the first time, the KU fans are going to make it a great, great atmosphere." —Russell Robinson "It's a 12-hour infomercial for the University of Kansas." —Bill Sellon EPW's College GameDav Kansas (25-3,10-3) "Hopefully it can go down is one of the best games in the history of Kansas. I think it's going to be of that magnitude. We were just in the locker room talking about tickets. Nobody can get tickets to the game. It's going to be a great atmosphere." THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 Russell Robinson Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Robinson grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds against Iowa State. Not a bad total for a small guard. He'll have his hands full Saturday guarding Jacob Pullen. Robinson should be motivated to stop Pullen after getting torched in the first game. M. KEANE ★★★★ Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard The shots started falling again for Chalmers against the Cyclones. Look for Chalmers to play an important role in Saturday's game if Kansas State leads in the second half. ★★★★★ ALEXANDER Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard Rush has his best games when someone else, usually Arthur, is the leading scorer. When he's not depended on to score, he usually has his best games. PETER MCGARRY ★★★★☆ Hard to believe this is the second-to-last home game for Jackson and the seniors. He's going to want to have memorable performances Saturday and two days later against Texas Tech. Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward ★★★★☆ Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward PETER JOHNSON No one will be as important to the Jayhawks as Arthur. He got into foul trouble in Manhattan, and it crippled KU's offense. He'll also have to defend Bill Walker or Michael Beasley most of the time he is in. ★★★★ Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard THE SIXTH MAN Allen Fieldhouse Will Rock If... Russell Robinson holds his ground against Jacob Pullen. Michael Beasley and Bill Walker will score their points. Robinson must prevent Pullen. He and the guards couldn't handle the freshman in late January, and Pullen got to the free-throw line 10 times, making all of them. Robinson has stopped great guards before, and Pullen is hardly great. Stop Pullen, and Kansas wins. ★★★☆★ Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard He's back to playing his usual 20 minutes a night, but his knee still hasn't recovered. K-State's Pullen and Stewart could take advantage of an injured Collins and get easy drives on him. Kansas State (18-9,8-5) THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 Mark Dent P. GUBA Clent Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard. The senior guard provides savvy experience for an extremely young team. Beasley is the Wildcats' star, but Stewart may be their rock. ★★★★☆ Blake Young, 6-foot-2 senior guard, K-State's braided guard is scoring 6.2 points in 28.4 minutes per game. Young can be dangerous if Kansas allows him to penetrate KANSAS 22 ★★★☆☆ go- s h. Andre Gilbert, 6-foot-7 junior forward. BREWER The Wildcats expect energy and sound defense from Gilbert - a transfer forward. ★★★☆★ Bill Walker, 6-foot-6 freshman forward, The Huntington, W.Va. native is averaging 16.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Expect Brandon Rush to match up with Walker this time around. BASKETBALL Jackson ★★★★★ Michael Beasley. Michael Beasley, 6-foot-10 freshman forward, All eyes will be on Beasley on Saturday night, and it'll be up to a Darrrell Arthur, Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun to slow him down. AUTHORIZED IMAGE ★★★★★ THE SIXTH MAN After scoring a career-high 20 points against Kansas on Jan. 30, Pullen probably will draw more attention from the Kansas defense. PLEASE CONTACT US AT (212) 555-0489 FOR MORE INFO. Jacob Pullen, 6-foot-1 freshman guard. ★★★☆★ Rustin Dodd K-State out-matches the Jayhawks' toughness and intensity again. Kansas better be motivated for this game as much as its rival. The Jayhawks weren't the first time in Manhattan, and they lost. The Wildcats need a victory badly, especially one on the road. They'll be tough to beat even with the Allen Fieldhouse crowd behind the Jayhawks. Phog Allen Will Roll Over In Over In His Grave If... KSU TIP-OFF ATAGLANCE Kansas State experienced pure ecstasy on Jan. 30. The Wildcats beat the Jayhawks at Bramlage Coliseum, ending Kansas' streak of 24 straight victories at Bramlage, and taking control of first place in the Big 12 conference. What happened next? K-State started acting like -umm - K-State. The Wildcats have lost five of their last eight games, including three in a row to Nebraska, Baylor and Texas. At 18-9 and 8-5 in the Big 12, K-State is inching towards the NCAA Tournament bubble. WHO TO WATCH Michael Beasley, 6'10 freshman forward. K-State's freshman phenomenon is immune to hyperbole. All the praise that's been lavished on Beasley, all the hype – it's all justi- Pascal Beasley fied. Beasley's numbers speak for themselves. He's averaging 26.2 points and 16.2 rebounds per game. Beasley's refined basketball skills combined with his raw size and athleticism make him one of the best freshman to ever play college basketball. Beasley most likely will leave for the NBA after this season, but he can add to his growing legacy with a legendary performance on Saturday. Will Bill Walker show up? QUESTION MARK Walker is Beasley's trusty sidekick and K-State's second scoring option. The problem is: You can't always trust Walker. Walker poured in 22 points when K-State beat Kansas on Jan. 30. But in the Wildcats' loss to Texas on Monday, Walker was the invisible man. He finished 0-of-14 from the field, and scored one point. Walker is a tough match-up because he can shoot from the outside and bang with the big guys inside. But if he doesn't play his best on Saturday, K-State may find it tough to escape Allen Fieldhouse with a victory. HEARYE. HEARYE "The first time we defended them we did a very poor job," -Bill Self on Kansas' defense against Kansas State "I've seen teams play box-and-one and he gets 30.

Human infections of Bird Flu usually occur in southeast Asia, the Middle East and northern Africa, where people regularly handle poultry on farms or in markets. The World Health Organization has recorded a 68 percent mortality rate in human cases of Bird Flu infection. Source:World Health Organization BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com A University of Kansas researcher warned that a Bird Flu pandemic could be on its way to North America. Townsend Peterson, senior curator at University's Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, received a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study the possible spread of the Bird Flu virus to America. Peterson will use the grant to assemble a team of researchers to map areas of the continent that are at a potentially high risk from Bird Flu. "If you look back at the last century, flu in general is of concern," Peterson said. "Flu The USDA offered Peterson the grant based on his conclusion that the government had not properly monitored the possible spread and evolution of Bird Flu on this continent. viruses are continually evolving and every so often you get one on the nasty side" The strain of Bird Flu Peterson will study, called H5N1, is not very transmissible among humans, but it is highly pathogenic. According to the World Health Organization, of the nearly 348 known human cases of H5N1 infection, 62 percent were fatal. Although the probability of a human catching Bird Flu is currently low, Peterson said it was not worth the risk to neglect fully researching the virus. "We're more likely to develop a highly pathogenic, highly transmissible variant if there's more of the virus out there," Peterson said. "This is certainly an important moment in flu history." To determine how common H5N1 is in different bird populations, a team of University researchers and graduate students traveled to countries such as the Philippines, Solomon Islands, China and Ghana. Mark Robbins, collections manager at the Natural History Museum, completed the fieldwork in Ghana in November. Robbins said one focus of the trip was to establish which method of testing birds for H5N1, swabbing or testing brain, heart or liver tissues, was most effective. Peterson said work like this helped determine the prevalence of the virus, which is an important aspect of the USDA grant research. Peterson invited about 20 experts, including virologists, epidemiologists and ornithologists, to join the USDA-funded Bird Flu research. "The emphasis will be on thinking outside of the box." Peterson said. Peterson said one example of that creative thinking would be to measure the prevalence of H5N1 in land birds. He said land birds were largely ignored by researchers who stuck to the traditional idea that H5N1 migrated almost exclusively with water birds such as ducks and gulls. Asian land birds provide a possible avenue for Bird Flu to spread to North America when they migrate for the summer. Peterson said. "Southeast Asian birds fly north to Siberia," he said. "But they could easily mistake western Alaska for eastern Siberia." He said the Bering Strait would not be a barrier for the Asian land birds, which KU fieldworkers in China showed to carry H5N1 at a rate of 3 percent. If introduced to North American bird populations, Peterson said the virus could spread and possibly mutate to create a worst-case scenario Bird Flu pandemic. "Pandemics in history have taken millions of lives," Peterson said. "The best time to learn about them is when we're not in an emergency situation." Peterson said he would begin work with the USDA-funded research team this spring.

"It cleans the oil and gets the food chunks out," Meade said. The three-day process turns 40 gallons of used oil into biodiesel that buses can run off of. Institute welcomes interested students BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com msorrick@kansan.com Susan Williams, associate professor of chemical engineering, recruited student volunteers to the Biodiesel Initiative since its foundation last year.

Students working on the project run 40 gallons of cooking oil per week through a reactor in Burt Hall to make the biodiesel. Williams said student involvement was an important aspect of the project. "We're always looking for volunteers. If you've got a block of time to come in, we can train you." "We're always looking for volunteers," she said. "If you've got a block of time to come in, we can train you." SUSAN WILLIAMS Associate professor of chemical engineering Neil Steiner, Tulsa, Okla. junior, was one of the project's first trained volunteers last semester. He said an interest in sustainable living based on minimizing negative environmental impacts drove his decision to volunteer. Biodiesel's potential as an alternative source of energy attracted Oliver Meade, a graduate student in architectural engineering, to the project. Owens said the project interested him partly because he wanted to understand the process of converting vegetable oil into biodiesel. "I not only learn the chemistry behind making biodiesel, but I am also a part of something that will ultimately benefit the environment." Owens said. Steiner's responsibilities in the lab involved heating the used cooking oil to remove any particulates or impurities. He then converted the cooking oil into biodiesel in the labs reactor by mixing it with methanol and potassium hydroxide. Steiner said the resulting biodiesel ran clearer and produced fewer harmful emissions than petroleum-based diesel fuels. Kyle Owens, Wichita senior, is another Biodiesel Initiative's student volunteers. Williams said the project produced over 400 gallons of biodiesel, much of which was used to fuel the snow removal and landscaping tractors on campus. "The big advantage is that you can get the vegetable oil from home," Meade said. "You aren't involving yourself in foreign politics and foreign oil." "We've shown there's an outlet for it," Williams said. "And wed like to scale the operation up." Ultimately, Williams and Tabakh said they would like to see every diesel vehicle on campus, including buses, run at least partially on biodiesel. To reach this goal, the project needs a steady stream of motivated student volunteers. 。 "It doesn't matter where you're from," Williams said. "If you have time to help, we're happy to have you." Students can apply for a volunteer position by contacting Susan Williams or Ilya Tabakh at swilliams@ku.edu and ilya@ku.edu.

Clinton emphasized that the nation needed a president ready to go to work on "Day One." Obama responded: "Senator Clinton, I think fairly, has claimed that she's got the experience on Day One. And part of the argument that I'm making in this campaign is that it is important to be right on Day One." Just five days before Super Tuesday, the two alternated between addressing each other with civility and pointed swipes, underscoring the importance of the upcoming contests. The debate came on the day Obama's campaign reported raising a staggering $32 million in January, cash aplenty to advertise all through the nearly two dozen upcoming races from coast to coast — and contends beyond. Clinton's campaign reported raising $26.8 million from October through December, the most recent period that she reported. Romney likens McCain to President Nixon LONG BEACH, Calif. — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Thursday accused his rival John McCain of adopting underhanded tactics from Richard Nixon, the GOP president who resigned in disgrace. "I don't think I want to see our party go back to that kind of campaigning." Romney said in his most pointed rebuttal but to front-runner McCain's claim that the former Massachusetts governor favors a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq. Romney denies this charge and most media analyses have concluded that Romney wasn't using "timetable" in the same way Democratic candidates have. Let fashion ring McCain's decision to level the timetable charge this week without leaving Romney time to rebut it before Florida Republicans voted in their primary "was reminiscent of the Nixon era," Romney said. McCain ended up winning the Florida contest Tuesday. Despite the incendial reference to Nixon, Romney said of McCain: "I think he's a man of character." But he added: "I think he took a sharp detour off the 'Straight Talk Express," — the name of the Arizona senator's campaign bus. McCain adviser Steve Schmidt responded that Romney "is lashing out because he's unable to defend his comments about a timeline, albeit a secret one ... John McCain has simply pointed out a fundamental difference between them at the time when John McCain was advocating a strategy for victory." ECONOMY Unemployment numbers highest since Katrina WASHINGTON — Buffeted by soaring fuel prices and tighter credit, consumers increased their spending at the weakest pace in six months. In other signs of trouble, applications for unemployment benefits last week soared by the largest number since Hurricane Katrina. The Commerce Department reported Thursday that consumer spending edged up just 0.2 percent in December — the year's peak shopping season. That was down sharply from a 1 percent gain in November. It was the weakest performance in this area since a similar 0.2 percent rise in June of last year. Meanwhile, the Labor Department reported that the number of laid-off workers filing applications for unemployment benefits increased by 69,000 to 375,000 last week. That was the highest level for jobless claims since the week of Oct. 8, 2005, when the economy was dealing with the disruptions caused by Hurricane Katrina and other Gulf Coast hurricanes. The increase in jobless claims was more than triple what economists had been expecting, although part of the increase was blamed on technical difficulties in adjusting the figures around the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Analysts said the greater concern was the slowdown in consumer spending, which they predicted would continue in the current quarter, the period many believe will be the maximum danger point for a recession. TERRORISM U.S. missile kills top al-Qaida commander ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A missile from a U.S. Predator drone struck a suspected terrorist safe-house in Pakistan and killed a top al-Qaida commander believed responsible for a brazen bomb attack during a visit last year by Vice President Dick Cheney to Afghanistan. a U.S. official said Thursday. night or early Tuesday against a facility in Pakistan's north Waziristan region, the lawless tribal area bordering Afghanistan, the official said on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss the strike publicly.

Going to college can be rather But as college students know, he left out tuition, books and housing fees. expense, but students do have an option when it comes to where to live. Living on and off campus can be expensive, and there are many factors to consider. "I loved living off campus and having my own place." The University's tuition Web site estimates, with the new four-year tuition contract, an in-state freshman taking 15 credit hours was expected to pay about $17,946 for the 2007-2008 school year. This figure includes $6,390 for tuition under the four-year contract, which provides a fixed tuition rate for four years. $2,020 to $3,290. LILIYA AZNAUROVA Overland Park medical student The figure also includes $756 for required campus fees, $6,230 for housing, $750 for books and supplies, $1,638 for transportation, and $2,182 for unspecified personal expenses. The housing costs can differ, however. The $6,230 figure is an average and includes both a residence hall charge and a meal plan charge. Residence halls can range from $3,224 to $4,564. Jayhawk Towers go down to $2,574 for a four-person apartment. Meal plans at Mrs. E's or Oliver Dining Center cost anywhere from Scholarship halls cost from $4,288 to $4,504 per year, which includes meals. Scholarship halls are the cheapest option to live on campus. If a student lives on campus, they might also want to purchase a parking pass, which costs $160. A Park and Ride permit costs $205. If a student decides to purchase a bus pass, it will cost $140 for a year Erin Hurlock, But students also have the option to live off campus. taking agent at Meadowbrook Apartments on Bob Billings Parkway, said that the one-bedroom apartment costs between $545 and $580 per month. Cable, trash, sewer, and water bills are paid for by Meadowbrook. The one-bedroom apartment is Meadowbrook's most common apartment. Those figures come out to between $6,540 and $6,960 per year. This does not include food. If other necessities like gas and groceries are added to this cost, it ends up being far more expensive than living on campus. But that is not without its pluses. Hurlock, who is not a KU student, said that if she were, she would much rather live off campus. "I like quietness," Hurlock said. Liliya Aznaurova, University of Kansas Medical Center student, lived in Meadowbrook last year and said she loved it. She preferred the quiet atmosphere and not having a roommate. "I loved living off campus and having my own place," said Aznaurova in an e-mail. "I want more space," Cartmill said. Kristen Cartmill, Overland Park sophomore, said living on campus was "OK." She lives in Templin Hall, but she's moving off campus next year. She does like the fact that the bus and food is right across the street, and thinks living off campus is more expensive. There are also "opportunity costs," or things you can't really put a price on. For instance, if a student lives off-campus, the opportunity to eat on campus is lost. The opportunity to walk to class and save money on gas is lost. The opportunity to be a part of the unique social atmosphere is lost. So, while it may end up being cheaper in the long run to live on campus, it's ultimately up to the student. Or to the parents. —Edited by Jared Duncan cost of living The yearly costs of The yearly costs of living on or off campus: — Residence halls: $3,224 to $4,564 residence halls: $3,22 to $4,564 Jayhawker Towers $2,574 to $4,508 Scholarship halls: $4,288 to $4,504 Meadowbrook Meadowbrook Apartments: $6,540 to $6,960 (for a one-bedroom) POLITICS Source: tuition.ku.edu Professors discuss foreign affairs BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com The next U.S. president is going to inherit a big pile of... well, you decide.

Bhala said students should look at whether the candidate looks at globalization as an opportunity with few risks or as a threat for job and trade loss. Raj Bhala, international trade law professor, said the future of America's place in the world was contingent on issues such as the free trade theory, global governance and the role of multilateral institutions.

Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird TRAVEL U.S. tightens border security U.S. AIR FORCE ANGELS DEPARTMENT ASSOCIATED PRESS Maggie Flores, left, of El Paso presents her U.S. passport to Henry Martinez, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer upon re-entering the country at the Bridge of the Americas on Thursday in El Paso, Texas. Americans found little to no delay crossing into Texas from Mexico on the first day of more restrictive federal identification requirements, even when they didn't all have the proper documents. However, some businesses and lawmakers have criticized the Department of Homeland Security for the more restrictive requirements because of worries that the changes will discourage people from making the trip into the United States. Passports required for entry into U.S. by 2009 BY DAVID RUNK ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Tougher identification rules went into effect Thursday along the nation's borders, but there appeared to be little added delay as travelers unprepared for the change were in many cases allowed to cross with a warning. Rather than seeing a bottleneck over the Ambassador Bridge into Detroit, truck driver Paul Kraus said, "It's actually slow today." The 42-year-old regularly crosses the bridge from Windsor, Ontario, and said he always carries required documents. it. He gave me a reminder slip." Orvile McFarlane of San Diego had just his driver's license as he returned from a sports betting parlor in Tijuana, Mexico, but was still allowed past San Diego's main border crossing. U. S. and Canadian citizens entering the country are no longer allowed to simply declare to immigration officers at border crossings that they are citizens. Instead, those 19 and older must show proof of citizenship, such as a passport or a "trusted traveler" card issued to frequent border crossers. Driver's licenses must be accompanied by proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. "I was taken aback a little bit" about being asked for a birth certificate, the 36-year-old pharmacy technician said. "I said I didn't have Customs officials said that delays were minimal across the country and that most motorists had the documentation they needed. "It's been a very smooth transition," said Thomas Winkowski, assistant commissioner of the Office of Field Operations, Customs and Border Protection. "There have been no issues with wait times." Officers at the ports had latitude to admit people who are unaware of the changes once their identities were confirmed, and many points were offering a grace period and handing out fliers explaining the changes. On the U.S. side of the border in Progreso, Texas, those returning from a trip to Nuevo Progreso, Mexico, across the Rio Grande carried bags of prescription drugs, cigarettes, liquor and crafts. Bobby and Genice Bogard of Greens Ferry, Ark., crossed so Genice could get a tooth capped. "He allowed us to pass with a driver's license," Bobby Bogard said of a border agent. "But next time he said he wouldn't," added Genice Board. Others were ready for the new rules, or say they've grown accustomed to carrying citizenship documents since security tightened following the Sept. 11 attacks. At the Peace Bridge, officials said most travelers entering Buffalo, N.Y., from Fort Erie, Ontario, had proper documentation. "I always come across with my passport," said Fred Goetz of Burlington, Ontario. Smooth travel was reported at many crossings along the northern and southern borders. The rules eventually will get even tougher for U.S. citizens entering the country from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean because of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which Congress approved in 2004. The driver's license-birth certificate combination will not be allowed when the law is fully implemented, but that has been delayed at land and sea crossings until June 2009. Mexican citizens will continue to have to present valid passports and visas. Canadian citizens previously were not required to show a passport but will need one after next year. Critics, particularly in northern border states, have assailed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff over the changes. Some businesses and lawmakers worry that the new rules — and the costs of getting a passport — would discourage some people from making the trip.

The letter said "ET" had paid a large sum of money for the video to stir up an exploitive story about Ledger. "For the sake of his grieving family and friends, his child and common decency, we hope to pressure 'Entertainment Tonight' and "The Insider" to do the right thing and pull the spot," the letter said.

KANSAN TRIVIA QUESTION Even some celebrities themselves — Natalie Portman and Sarah Jessica Parker, to name a couple — called to urge "ET" to pull the plug. NEW YORK — It was a striking example of Hollywood protecting its own: After an aggressive lobby from powerful film industry figures, "Entertainment Tonight" decided against airing a video that shows the late Heath Ledger hanging out at a party where drugs were being taken. BY DAVID BAUDER ASSOCIATED PRESS The show said it pulled the story "out of respect for Heath Ledger's family." But don't discount the effect of a lightning-fast campaign launched by a public relations firm that represents many of the stars "Entertainment Tonight" depends upon for stories. Log on to Kansan.com to answer! "Entertainment Tonight" is hardly the lone news organization to broach the topic of potential drug abuse by the star. But the video it acquired, reportedly taken two years ago at a party at the Chateau Marmont Hotel, drew the fiercest attention. Later, with Ledger in the background, an unidentified man, his face blurred, seems to snort cocaine from a table. apartment Jan. 22. Authorities suspect a possible drug overdose, but the cause of his death is still pending the outcome of toxicology tests. On the night of May 20,1952,a rowdy mob numbering 1,500 students made the largest raid in KU history of After seeing a promotion for the show Wednesday, a publicist at ID. The syndicated magazine's sister show, "The Insider," aired a "preview" of the story that it had planned to run Thursday that actually showed several segments of the video. Following the protest, "The Insider" yanked the segment from the West Coast version of its telecast. The show made clear that there was nothing on the video showing Ledger taking any drug. At one point, however, the then-26-year-old said he "used to smoke five joints a day." --- But a person who has seen the entire video, who asked not to be identified because of its sensitive nature, said Ledger then points to his tattoo of "M" (for his daughter, Matilda Rose) and says, "this is to remind me never to smoke weed again." That part of the quote was not used in Wednesday's preview. Need a hint? studentsforku.org This week's prize: $25 Target Gift Card!

Sex education is a topic that is debated among many demographics, and we have all received — in one manner or another — the "wrap it up" talk. But as it comes time to apply this knowledge as sex becomes part of our lives, we are left to figure out the details on our own. An enormous deterrent in effectively educating about sex is the gender double standard regarding the social acceptability of being openly sexual. The most striking example of this double standard is in commercials that we so easily dismiss. An oral contraceptive commercial for Yaz stars three beautiful women at a cocktail party name-dropping chemical compounds, one of whom was able to attend because of the effects of Yaz. They are relieved that Yaz can control menstruation and reduce the effects of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder ("a mood disorder related to the menstrual cycle"). Many women take the pill for these reasons, but contraception is still a touchy subject in the realm of commercial advertisement. As a result, many men and women are missing the point of birth control and are only receiving a portion of the bigger picture. Men and women need to be honest and learned about the purpose of birth control, because the drug that so many women take for various reasons is about something bigger than our own bodies. Birth control was first approved for use in 1960 for the purpose of contraception. The number one purpose of the drug is in the name, and by ignoring its intended purpose, we are ignoring the fact that, although many women take birth control for health issues such as acne, muscle cramps and heavy cycles, birth control was created to allow for sexual freedom. The Yaz commercial brought this idea to the front of my mind, so I went to Viagra's Web site to hunt down a commercial relating to men's sexual activity. A video of a group of men who seem to have set up a secret jam session in a decrepit barn start to play music as the site appears. They grin and croon a bluesy country ditty about being crazy for their women, and the commercial ends with the chorus: "Viva Viagra." The point of this commercial is sex, blatantly. It's simple and honest from the old acoustic guitars they play to the grins on their faces as they shake hands before going home to the fiery women they sing about. The idea that men can be openly sexual while women are still talking about their means of sexual freedom (birth control) in terms of their periods is shocking. Although birth control is a totally legitimate and widely used drug amongst women who want to be more in control of their menstrual cycle and its other effects, these reasons are simply afflictions alleviated by the side-effects of a drug intended to prevent pregnancy. If we want to educate our generation and those after us about being sexually active, it must be without this double standard. This means being ingenuous about you and me being sexual creatures, even if you are not currently sexually active. Tradition holds strong in the media and general public that women cannot be open about sex. We must address this double standard critically to realize the effects it could produce for our bodies and in our lives. No progress will be made as long as women are advertised as "virginal", and not given the opportunity to express their own sexuality. Protect yourself, respect yourself, have fun and talk about it.

Max Rinke >> GUEST COLUMN A frozen theory of graduation RYAN SCHWARZENBERGER I've posited a theory which I think carries with it a substantial amount of logic, especially for those who reside in the residence halls, resting at the feet of Daisy Hill and Mount Oread. This theory can also apply to the residents of Naismith Hall. Heck, anyone who treks up Mount Oread, or the Hill, from the south side can empathize. I'm sure. The theory is that, during the bleakest of winter months, one can measure his or her ambulant progression upward into the North wind that bears down upon him or her from the top of Mount Oread without having to rely on conventional methods of mapping a journey such as counting one's steps or using visually recognizable landmarks to gauge where one is. "How?" you might inquire. "Quite simply," I say. The distance traveled up the Hill is proportional to the amount and length of teardrops that have frozen alight your temple as a result of the sheerest of North winds cutting across your pupils as you squint defiantly toward your destination. I quickly learned this trick during the month of January in 2004, the commencement of my first semester at KU. Using this theory, traversing the south face of the Hill was a breeze, pun intended. I could reach Spencer Art Museum from Olivier Hall, ambling into the fiercest of North winds, in a personal record 11 minutes and 33 seconds without breaking into a jog. This semester, I embark upon the final voyage of my undergraduate collegiate career. This is the final turn of the longest lap. the final turn of the longest lap. Since that cold January of 2004, I have walked a lot, learned a lot, socialized a lot and matured a lot. My eyes have faced the nastiest North winds, my mind has encountered the most daunting of doubts, and my heart has weathered the harshest of heart-breaks. The broadest spectrum of emotions has run its course through my veins during the past four years. My weathered face no longer bears the burden of North winds like it once did those four years ago. Sometimes now, I find myself looking northward and smiling as nature relishes the rare opportunity to punish my eyes once more. But I say unto you, it is worth all the while and all the while it is worth it. Last week, I began the paperwork to complete my application for graduation. I shall graduate in May with two degrees, a feat accomplished in only four and a half of the shortest, longest years of my life. Before I end this collegiate loquency, I feel it necessary to impart some short words of wisdom: Don't buy a bus pass. Those frozen teardrops you acquire on your walk will melt once you get inside, and for that they will be the sweetest emblem of victory you will ever taste should you decide embrace your potential to its fullest and reach the summit of this Hill in the most unforgiving of winters.

Finally people in this country are beginning to wake up and realize that the safe proud vision of America we used to know has all but disappeared. It's up to us as Super Tuesday is an exciting day for voters in Kansas. Being affiliated with the Democrats, it is the one election where I feel like my vote counts for something. As students we have a people to unite behind one candidate who has the ability to bring about that change; Barack Obama. What I am looking for in a candidate is someone with a good heart who will lead this country powerfully but honestly. I have researched Barack Obama. I have read his speeches, followed his progress, watched him very carefully and he come to believe in him and his ideals. He's original and charismatic and smart. Imagine getting ready for a presidential speech and being hopeful and excited rather than anxious and worried that the leader of our country is going to misinterpret a word or make one up. As for the people who say that he is too young to and inexperienced to lead, suppose all the young people of the past who had made a difference in this world were silenced. What kind of world would we live in without the taxes or how we come by health care for ourselves and our future families. This election matters for us, and I am not going to sit back and let the rest of the country decide my future for me. a duty to represent ourselves and our future, and how we vote directly affects everything in our lives as we become self-sufficient adults. Whether it's how much we pay for In the spirit of equality, change and forward progress, envision with me a president who hasn't been sculpted by the robotic hands of Washington. revolutionary influences of Martin Luther King, Jr., John E. Kennedy, Thomas Edison, Imanuel Kant or even Jesus for that matter. peoples of the world, to be at peace and not a slave to big corporations and oil-grubbing tycoons. Perhaps the revolution needed now is a different, modern kind of revolution. Maybe all we need is a revolution of thought within ourselves, to see the path has been laid for us, right our wrongs and better this fine country.

Kennedy, who is 6-foot and 190 pounds, said some of the gladiators and contestants on the show outweighed him by 80 to 90 pounds, but Kennedy said he was not worried. "If I start worrying about other people, I'm only going to stress myself out," Kennedy said. "I'm going to view it as I'm my only competition. I believe I've got a chance, as small a chance as it might be. If I turn it on, I might be able to turn some heads." Kennedy said he used to watch the original version of "American Gladiators," which aired from 1989 to 1996, as a child with his father. He said he saw an advertisement for the new "American Gladiators" on NBC's Web site a year ago, but casting calls were only a week away. He said he decided he would try out for the second season and trained ever since. Kennedy said he never had the desire to be on a reality TV show, but he thought the show would be a good opportunity to make a new start. He said when he first told people he was trying out for the show, they thought he was joking. Now, he said, they were extremely supportive. Kennedy said he knew he would be tested on strength, conditioning and agility at the tryout, but he did not know how he would be tested because the show has been very secretive about the tryouts. He said he ran and lifted in preparation and pushed himself harder than he ever had before. "Part of this is just about proving to myself that I can do something on short notice," Kennedy said. "I guess that is what is kind of exciting about it. I've never been one to just do this on a whim." Kennedy said he and three of his friends would drive to Austin for the tryout. He said there were also tryouts in Chicago and Denver on the same date, but he chose Austin because the weather there was more favorable than in the other two cities. Kennedy said he and his friends would take turns driving, but that they hoped to arrive at 3 a.m., so he would have several hours to rest before he waited in line for the competition. He said the competition would begin at 10 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. He also said he expected at least 1,000 people to be at the tryout, so it would be important for him to arrive in Austin early. Kennedy said he was unsure how many contestants the show would take from Austin because it had one more tryout in New York the following Saturday. He said contestants could also try out via video, but that he thought he had a better chance of making the show if he participated in a live tryout. In the past, contestants on the show broke bones and tore ligaments, but Kennedy said he was not worried about being harmed. He is only nervous about his performance. "I know I'm going to have butterflies," Kennedy said. "When I go to the gym and stuff like that, that is all I think about it. But I think when I get down there and my name is called. I think I'm going to be able to push all that aside, and really turn it on." Kennedy is not worried about his safety, but he said his mother was. "When I told her I was going to Austin in two weeks, she was like, 'You've got to be kidding,' he said. "She's starting to come around and kind of go for it more. My dad just thinks I'm a kook." Kennedy's friends said they were excited about Kennedy's tryout as well. Ryan Colston, a former KU student and Olathe resident who was friends with Kennedy since junior high school, said Kennedy told him to use the opportunity to sightsee, but that sightseeing was out of the question. "He said numerous times, 'You can just take my keys and do whatever you want,' but that is not why I am going," Colston said. "I'm going down to support my friend and that is what I'm going to do." Colston said he would wait in line with Kennedy, but he was not yet sure whether he would be allowed to watch the tryout. Colston said Kennedy was not very muscular in high school, but Kennedy buffed up quickly after he and Colston became security guards at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Bonner Springs. "People called us the bash brothers," Colston said. "We went through a span of two concerts where we put two people in the hospital. That was when the bash brothers came out." Colson's girlfriend, Spenser Kultala, a former KU student and Kansas City, Kan., resident, said she thought Kennedy would be selected because he put his entire heart into preparing for the tryout. "He's bulked up a lot since I first met him and he's really training hard, and he's got his mind focused on it," Kultala said. "What more could he ask for?" Kultala, who has known Kennedy for more than two years, will also travel with Kennedy to Austin. She said she hoped he made the show because she never knew anyone who was selected to be on a reality television show. Kennedy said he thought it SEX on the HILL Doin' it Vegas style... Thursday, February 7th PRESENTED BY Jayplay THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 88 Cody Kennedy, Overland Park senior prepares for the American Gladiator tryouts. Kennedy is traveling to Austin, Tx, for the tryout, which begins on Saturday. Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN would be funny if he made the show, because when he is 50, he would be able to tell his grandchildren he was on 'American Gladiators' when he was young and dumb. "The old one is on ESPN Classic. I remember as a kid I watched it and said, 'I wanna do that!' I wanna do that!" Kennedy said. "I would have never once thought as I kid I would have the opportunity to do that, and now I do. So it has kind of come full circle." Kennedy said he had not put much thought into what he would do about finishing school if he was selected as a contestant for the show. He said he was presently completing an internship for credit, so he did not think it would be hard to obtain permission to take time off to tape the show. He said he did not know when he would find out if he was selected, but that the show would begin taping in late April or early May in Los Angeles. Edited by Samuel Lamb TECHNOLOGY Warner Bros. switches to Blu-ray BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com For students trying to decide between the Blu-ray and HD-DVD formats, the decision just got easier. Warner Brothers announced earlier this month that it would dump its HD-DVD collection and exclusively sell Blu-ray formatted DVDs. It became the sixth major American film studio to venture down this path, following Disney, Fox, Lionsgate, MGM and Sony Pictures. Blu-ray Disc Association controls two-thirds of the DVD market, giving it a substantial edge over the Toshiba-backed HD-DVD format, which continues to be supported by Paramount, Universal and DreamWorks. Warner Brothers cited strong consumer preference as the main reason for its decision. According to Home Media Research, Blu-ray Disc movie titles outsold HD-DVD nearly 2-1 in the United States and Europe. Of all high-definition titles sold in 2007, Blu-ray disc made up 67 percent of those sales. Miranda Smith, assistant manager of Hastings on 23rd and Iowa streets, said she recently noticed consumer trends reacting to the new monopoly. "We've had a lot of people sell their HD-DVDs back," Smith said. "Within about six months we should be getting a lot more Blu-ray formatted discs in." Erika Schmidt, assistant manager of Blockbuster on 23rd Street, said her store hopped on the trend a lot sooner. "We've had Blu-ray discs since they first came out," she said. "After Warner switched to Blu-ray, though, we started getting a lot more titles." Blockbuster received more than 25 DVD titles since Warner Brothers made its decision, Schmidt said. Not all businesses are welcoming the new technology. Doug Redding, manager of Liberty Hall, said the new monopoly was just another example of corporate bullying. "I think a lot of people don't want Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD Blu-ray -Capacity: 25 gigabytes per layer -Frequency: 405 nm -Transfer rate: 36 Mbps -Supported by: seven major movie studios DVD -Capacity 15 gigabytes per layer -Frequency: 405 nm -Transfer Rate: 36 Mbps -Supported by: three major movie studios to buy a bunch of new crap to support this new technology," Redding said. "We're going to hold off on Blu-ray as long as possible."

Under new NCAA regulations the Jayhawks were unable to begin spring practice until today, and can't open their season until the third week of February. NCAA rules nuisance in spring, benefit in fall BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com This time a year ago, the Kansas baseball team was nearly 4,000 miles away, soaking up some sun, preparing for its season opener against Hawaii-Hilo. Today, however, three weeks stand in the way of Kansas' perennial season-opening series on the Big Island. What gives? The NCAA, of course - as in the NCAA giveth and the NCAA taketh away. This season, the NCAA implemented new rules in college baseball, regulating when teams can begin practicing in the spring, when teams can begin regular season play, and how often teams can practice in the fall. Under the new rules, teams can't begin spring practice until Feb. 1 and can't open their season until the end of the third full week of February. So, whereas the lajayhaws had weeks of practice under their belt at this point last year, today marks their first practice as a team since the fall - a change the team is neither accustomed to, nor fond of. "it's weird," junior first baseman Preston Land said. "My first year I was back like Jan. 4, my second year I was back like Jan. 7 and wed been practicing four times a day until school started. I think it's a little bit of a disadvantage." Junior outfielder Nick Faunce shared Land's sentiments. "I think it's a disadvantage," Faunce said. "Normally we would have come back two weeks before we started school and started doing multiple practices per day, which you get a feel for your team in that sense and you get strengthened." According to the NCAA Baseball Issues Committee's final report on the rule changes, the uniform start dates would be "more reflective of baseball as a truly national sport." While this may prove to be the case, the new rules have put Kansas coach Ritch Price in a bind. NCAA rules also prohibit teams from missing more than 10 days of class for games. In the past, Kansas was able to utilize weekends for road trips to the West Coast to minimize class days missed. Now, with three fewer weeks to play the maximum 56 games, Kansas had to shift many non-conference games to the midweek, making it harder to stay within the class-days-missed limit. "I do think it will level the playing field as far as the difference between the warm-weather states and the cold-weather states being able to get outside." Price said. "The drawback is we're geographically challenged. It's three hours to Wichita, and it's three hours to Creighton, which are our nonconference opponents. We're not in Dallas or Miami or Los Angeles, where you can go to school, drive across town and play different schools. It's impossible for us to do with our 10-day miss class time." To stay within the class-days-missed limit this season, Price had to cancel a series at Clemson, which is known around the country as one of the best college baseball venues. "It was unfortunate because that was my favorite place to play since I've been in college." Land said. Not counting spring break, the jayhawks have 14 midweek games this season. Price is concerned that playing five games a week throughout the season will be counterproductive for college players. "That's going to be difficult on our pitching staff." Price said. "The second thing it's going to do is it won't allow us to practice enough to keep improving our players." So why don't teams schedule fewer games? Well, if the NCAA gets its way, that's probably where this is headed. Considering how college football has added games to its regular season in recent years – not to mention the games it will add if and when a playoff system is put into place – and that college softball teams have been practicing for weeks and will begin regular season play next weekend, it's hard to deny "They're talking about reducing games, which that's one of the things they told us, when the coaches agreed to have a national start date, was they wouldn't reduce games." Price said. "Now the first thing they want to do is reduce the number of games." Major League play SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 5B Bayhawks 37 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Mike Zagurski, a Kansas pitcher from 2003 to 2005, made his way up to the Major Leagues and is now playing for the Philadelphia Phillies. Zagurski was injured on Aug. 18, 2007 but hopes to get healthy for this year's season. Former Jayhawk pitcher goes professional for Philadelphia Phillies BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Mike Zagurski walked into the visiting clubhouse at Turner Field in Atlanta on May 25, 2007, and found his way to his locker. The stitching on back of the Philadelphia Philles jersey spelled a familiar name. Z-A-G-I-R-S-K-I. That's when the realization set in for the former Kansas baseball player. Zagurski was now a Maior League Baseball player. "There's a sense of accomplishment when you see that name on your jersey," Zagurski said. "You know that you did finally make it." Zagurski, a 2003 to 2005 Kansas left-handed pitcher, was one of two former Kansas baseball players to make Major League Baseball debuts during the 2007 baseball season. The other, Travis Metcalf, a 2005 graduate, made his debut with the Texas Rangers. Zagurski made his first Major League appearance on the day he was called up to the Philadelphia Phillies. Zagurski pitched a scoreless inning against the Atlanta Braves on May 25, 2007, in front of family and friends. But Zagurski was never a cinch to pitch at the Major League level. No Major League organizations drafted Zagurski out of high school and no Big 12 schools recruited him. So after graduating from Millard North High School in Omaha, Neb., Zagurski continued his playing career at Hutchinson Community College. Zagurski spent two years in Hutchinson and earned All-Conference honors in the lajhawk Conference. He then transferred to the University before the 2003-04 school year. Zagurski still has a special fondness for Lawrence. "I love Lawrence, there is no other place like it. It's a place I like to call home;" Zagurski said. Zagurski pitched well during his first year at SEE MAJOR LEAGUE ON PAGE 5B MEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks look forward Self tells players to keep their heads up BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Bill Self's message to the players after Wednesday's loss to K-State was short and simple. "He just told us to keep our heads up," junior guard Brandon Rush said, "and not make it two." Self probably won't have to worry about that. For one, Kansas' next game, Saturday at 2:30 p.m., is against Colorado. The Buffaloes, at 1-5 in conference play, aren't exactly the team to beat in the Big 12. But that's not the only reason. Losses have usually brought out the best in the Jayhawks since Self has been coach. Look no further than this year's 20-game winning streak to start the season. It came after a crushing loss to UCLA in the Elite Eight last year. That loss to UCA? I答 the first one since Kansas lost to Texas A&M nearly two months earlier. During that time, the Jayhawks won 14 straight games and clinched a Big 12 regular season and tournament championship. Maybe, but Kansas needs to learn from its mistakes. The lajahwaks looked like the inferior team for the entire 40 minutes against the Wildcats. They got outhustled, outbounded and overall outplayed. During the 2005-2006 season, Kansas also put together a remarkable streak. The Jayhawks started Big 12 play 1-2 and lost consecutive games to their rivals that year. They responded by winning 10 straight and 15 of 16 games. Could this loss to a rival cause a similar spark? SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE 5B Loss to K-State revitalizes rivalry The bus ride home on I-70 across the plains back to Lawrence Wednesday night may have felt like the men's basketball team's longest of the season. There was a certain feeling in the air, one very unfamiliar to this year's jayhawks: defeat. COMMENTARY It was a feeling that the returning players from last year's Elite Eight finish and coach Bill Self can relate to after their 55-68 loss to UCLA. There wasn't a group of fans waiting in Lawrence to greet the team upon returning to Lawrence, but it was the closest this year's Jayhawks can relate to last year's tournament loss. Wednesday's 75-84 loss to Kansas State snapped Kansas' fourth-longest winning streak in its storied history and the longest winning streak of the Bill Self era. This loss was not about the winning streak but something much more. "It didn't sting because of the (winning) streak. It stings because it's our rival," Self said after the game Wednesday. "I could care less about the streak, but I do care about BY BRYAN WHEELER bwheeler@kansan.com Though the rivalry hasn't been a factor for many years, this year's Wildcat team is different because of two freshmen phenom- beating our rivals." During the regular season, losing to a rival is the closest thing to losing in the NCAA tournament. Kansas' loss to Kansas State re-established a rivalry that lay dormant. Since Self began coaching at Kansas, the Jayhawks were 10-2 overall against the Wildcats. Kansas State hadn't won in Manhattan since 1983 and defeated Kansas just twice since the 1990s. "I'm not scared to say it," Bill Walker told reporters on Big 12 Media Day. "I'm saying we'll beat them." enons, Michael Beasley and Bill Walker. Both players guaranteed victories against Kansas before the season even started, which is quite a tall order against a jayhawk team that was ranked No. 4 in the Associated Press preseason poll. Before Michael Beasley had even played a game for Kansas State, and perhaps even looked at the schedule of where the Wildcats were going to play Kansas, he confidently boasted his team. "We're going to beat KU at home. We're going to beat 'em in their house. We're going to beat 'em in Africa," Beasley said. "Wherever we play, we're going to beat 'em." Wednesday night, the Wildcats lived up to the first part of Beasley's guarantee.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State state men's basketball coach Dalonte Hill was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence, Pattowatabame County Sheriff Greg Riai said.

Sporting costs take toll on fans BY EDDIE PELLS ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — So, you were one of the lucky ones who got chosen to buy a Super Bowl ticket. Congratulations, that'll be $700. That's just the beginning. You might want to start shoring up that bank account, maybe put the rest of your 2008 vacation plans on hold. This journey to the center of the sports universe will take its toll in cold, hard cash (and credit cards, too). About 24,000 of the 73,000 tickets at University of Phoenix Stadium were awarded to average fans through the lotteries the Giants and Patriots held among their pool of season-ticket holders. They all had a chance to sell those tickets to brokers for around $4,000 a pop — kind of like winning the real lottery — but those who want to see the Super Bowl in person might be keeping an eye on their credit scores as they watch the scoreboard. The total cost: $5,033 The breakdown: - Airfare, $775. That was the price Jan. 22 for a round-trip trip from Kennedy airport in New York to Phoenix. On Monday, that same ticket was going for $1,123. - FBR Open golf tournament, $100. General admission tickets for the PGA Tour's regular stop in Phoenix are surprisingly cheap. It's only $25 to be one of the 150,000 at the course on Airfires from Boston were similar. The Patriots are in their fourth Super Bowl in the last seven years and there are some stories circulating about fans who made their plans weeks, if not months ago, betting the Patriots would make it to Phoenix. They bet right and may have saved about $500. — Hotel, $1,100. It could be worse. Because of a deal the NFL cuts with Super Bowl host cities, there are caps on the prices hotels can charge and still be "affiliated" with the Super Bowl experience. — Golf, $225. It would be expensive this time of year, Super Bowl or no. At the Phoenix Resort, on the morning of Super Bowl Sunday, there were a tew tee times available. If you get one, you'll have to hustle from the 18th green to the game. But if you wait until the last minute to make golf plans, you'll be driving a long way to a course on the outskirts of town — or watching golf instead of playing. — Food, $700. Phoenix is a great place for Mexican food, which is usually relatively cheap. So dinner at the Tee Pee on 42nd Street and Indian School might run about $40 for eates and a couple of margaritas. You'll probably do lunch on the run, or at the golf course ($15 a day), and spend about $5 a day at Starbucks trying to fight those hangovers. — Rental car and parking, $510. No use in bothering with cabs. An intermediate-sized rental car at Enterprise was running $90 a day. If you were lucky enough to get a parking pass for the game at $60, you're set. If not, drive to downtown Glendale and park, then take a $5 shuttle ride to the stadium. any given day. But at this event, it's not so much about the golf. The beer stand is never too far away. Also budget for souvenirs, beers and the cab ride back to the hotel. — Souvenirs, $206. Only cheap if you wait until the day after the game. But why take the risk of not finding what you want and coming home empty-handed? So ... Cute ladies T-shirt with the SB XLII logo: $21. Two — Other entertainment, $617. Let's say you blow $100 at one of the areas casinos, $400 for a ticket to Snoop Dogg's Friday-night Super Bowl party at Axis, $17.50 for a ticket into the NFL Experience street party and find something else to do after the game for another $100. small footballs with logos: $40. Game program: $20. And that golf pullover for yourself: $85. — Miscellaneous, $100. That's for tipping valets, filling up the gas tank, sunscreen, aspirin, a couple bottles of water and Diet Cokes. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but expensive — more than double what it would cost to come to Phoenix a week later. But the Super Bowl will be packed up and gone by then. You could be paying credit card bills on this for months, but consider yourself lucky. Had you not won the lottery, and been forced to buy a ticket from a broker, the price could have easily reached five figures. calendar TODAY TOMORROW Women's Tennis vs. Arkansas, 1 p.m., Fayetteville, Ark.

Playing at home should cure some of that and lining up against an equally struggling Iowa St. squad is just what the doctor ordered. Boogaard has looked better in every Big 12 contest, and the report building up between the guards and her should mean even more touches in the post. If coach Bonnie Henrickson can find a consistent presence at point guard then her team should be able to get into a groove and maybe grab some of those conference wins they all covet. Will Chakeitha Weldon play over 15 minutes? The freshman hasn't seen much playing time this year because she plays too aggressive. But point guard Ivana Catic hasn't played well in conference. With that in mind, Henrickson decided to give Weldon a shot in the second half at Oklahoma. Weldon led Kansas on a 14-4 run. Jayhawks will her energy again on Saturday.

Without Wieben, the Cyclones are last in the conference in points allowed, and the Jayhawk's freshman center Krysten Boogaard and senior forward Taylor McNtosh could pose problems in the paint. Then again, Iowa State beat Colorado by 20 on Wednesday night, a team Kansas lost to by 18. QUESTION MARK Can Kansas keep the game from becoming a three-point shooting contest? If Iowa State shoots the way it did against Colorado, Kansas may be in for a long night. During the course of their 65-45 victory, the Cyclones made 10-23 three-point attempts and out-rebounded the Buffaloes by 16. Kansas was already vulnerable on the offensive glass, but if any of the guards pinch down to help, it could leave a lot of room for Iowa State's long-range bombers.

MLB Baseball player releases CD BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Music has long been a part of Scott Spiezio's life. Now it's part of his therapy. The St. Louis Cardinals' utility player missed more than a month last season while receiving treatment for substance abuse. He poured the emotions from his ordeal and his team's doomed followup to a World Series title into the latest CD for the hard rock band, Sandfrog, that he fronts in his spare time. The title, Offseason, speaks to Spiezo's off-field issues, Josh Hancock's drunk-driving death and the team's myriad injuries. Hancock's death was particularly devastating for Spiezio. "The emotions and the lyrics are very deep," Spiezio said. "There's a lot of songs about dealing with friends and family with problems and overcoming them and seeing that light at the end of the tunnel. Whether it's the loss of a teammate, guys getting injured, our team not doing well. Anything. We addressed that a lot in the CD." Just as 35-year-old Spiezio continues to address the nature of his substance abuse in vague, big-picature terms, the lyrics don't overly address the topics that tortured him in 2006. They're definitely the inspiration for a player who disclosed last fall that hed been struggling with substance abuse for more than six months. February 5 is... FAT TUESDAY LARGE selection of beads! PARTY AMERICA 23rd and Nasonith (next to Copy Co.) 785.865.3803 "It's not necessarily about him, but it's about kind of what I was feeling, the emotions and stuff like that," Spiezio said. The as-yet unnamed song about Hancock deals more with the fallout for Spiezio, who was too distraught to play for days after the fatal accident in late April. Spiezio is Sandfrog's lead singer and the principal writer of a five-member group from his hometown of Morris, Ill. The group's name is a combination of the last names of the four original members — Spiezio, Anderson, Froilan and Garry. Its heavy metal sound, packed with throaty vocals and power chords, has been described as modern Black Sabbath or new metal. There's been plenty of actual therapy, too, helping Spiezio keep on track and preparing him to better deal with any curveballs that life throws. There are no plans on touring. "I'd like to keep my day job. It's much more easily-controlled when you're around these guys," Spiezio said, referring to his teammates. "I have a lot more help than it would be with four rockers on the road." "You've got to put yourself in the right situations, sometimes change friends or go out to breakfast with a friend and not to a place where you can start making bad decisions," Spiezio said. "I've got to be in a frame of mind where I can't lose focus in any way." Manager Tony La Russa was strongly in Spiezio's corner throughout his absence last year, expressing that confidence when Spiezio started at third base the day he was reinstated from the restricted list in mid-September. Healthy and in the right frame of mind, Spiezio gives the Cardinals versatility in the field with his ability to play five positions along with a knack for the timely hit. He batted .272 in 119 games with 13 homers and 52 RBIs in 2006, although last year he appeared in only 82 games due to injuries, illness and treatment and managed only four homers, 31 RBIs and a .269 average. He's now the oldest player on the team by nearly two years. SATURDAY 7pm VS. IOWA STATE CELEBRATE NATIONAL GIRLS AND WOMEN IN SPORTS DAY! $3 ADMISSION FOR FEMALES OF ALL AGES!

Their talent combined with the intensity of the rivalry will be the toughest test for Kansas during the regular season. Wherever the Wildcats play the Jayhawks again this season, they will continue to be waiting and ready to seek their first season sweep over Kansas since 1983. After checking the schedule, it is confirmed for Beasley that there will be no game in Africa, but there is a good chance the two teams will face each other two more times this season with the MAJOR LEAGUE (CONTINUED FROM 1B) last game coming during the Big.12 Tournament. When Kansas State comes to Lawrence on March 1, the Jayhawks should remember the long bus ride back to Lawrence and the performance of this year's Kansas State team. The Jayhawks' loss Wednesday needs to serve as a reminder of how tough teams will be in the NCAA tournament. Edited by Patrick De Oliveira something. "I saw his velocity improve dramatically between his junior and senior season." Price said. Jon Goering/KANSAN With Zagurski's fastball reaching 94 to 19 miles per hour, Price said he thought Zagurski might have a bright future in the Minor Leagues. But Minor League Baseball isn't the glamorous lifestyle that some might expect. And Zagurski soon figured that out after the Philadelphia Phillies organization drafted him in the 12th round in 2005. "You make 1,100 dollars a month," he said. "You're paying rent in one place, you're spending half your time in another place. You're eating a lot of McDonalds, because you're getting 20 bucks a day for food." Zagurski's fortunes changed in 2007. He began the 2007 season with the Clearwater Thresers - the Phillies High-A affiliate. In early May, Zagurski was promoted to Double A. Pitching for the Reading Phillies, He began to wonder if he was close to realizing his Major League dream. "They say when you're in Double-A, you just one call away from the Majors." On May 24, 2007, Zagurski's Double A manager pulled him aside. He was needed in Atlanta. The Phillies were playing the Braves the next night. "The first person I called was my dad," Zagurski said. Next, was his girlfriend, and then his brother. “There’s a lot of people who have been there for a long time. And when I wasn't doing very good they always inspired me to keep going” Two weeks after being called up to the Major Leagues, Zagurski was in Kansas City, Mo. On June 8, 2007, Zagurski pitched an inning against the Kansas City Royals in front of his family, friends and former teammates. "It was kind of nice homecoming, I wouldn't have traded it for the world." Zagurski said. Zagurski's season ended abruptly. On Aug. 18, 2007, he attempted to field a batted ball and tore his hamstring off his pelvic bone. Zagurski on his onchus in a cast and thought: Could my Major League career be over after 25 games? Those thoughts didn't last long. "Every year when a guy goes out there he has a chance to lose his job." Zagurski said. "I'm hoping to come back pretty healthy." Coach Price doesn't doubt he can do it. "One thing about Mike Zagurski," Price said. "his make-up is just off the charts." Zagurski has spent the last four months in rehab. He had planned to live in Lawrence this offseason. The injury changed that. "I definitely miss Lawrence. I've lived there every offseason since I finished there," he said. Zagurski is now focused on getting healthy. He'll report to Clearwater, Fla., on Feb. 13 for the start of spring training. He has experienced major league baseball, and he's not taking it for granted. Brandon Rush attempts a steal in Wednesday's 84-75 loss to Kansas State. Referring to coach Bill Self's postgame speech, Rush said, "He just told us to keep our heads up and not make it two." Kansas will face Colorado on the road on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in an attempt to keep pace with the Big 12 leader Kansas State. "If you're not doing your job they're going to give it to somebody else who is," Zagurski said. — Edited by Patrick De Oliveira BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) WILLIAMS "We weren't as physical as we should've been," sophomore guard Sherron Collins said. "We didn't do a good job of cleaning up and going after loose rebounds. We didn't block out enough." Kansas State made its fair share of important shots, but Kansas made plenty of mistakes, too. The Jayhawks had 16 turnovers and only stole the ball from the Wildcats three times. Fouls were also a problem. Senior center Sasha Kaun and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur had to sit out for a major portion of the first half because of foul trouble. Their absence forced Kansas to play small and gave the Kansas State a decisive edge on the offensive glass. "it's like a wake up" Collins said. "It's something we needed. We needed a game like this. I don't think this loss will hurt. We just have to stay positive and go on another good run here." A "good run" is far from a guarantee, though. Although losses have sparked winning streaks lately, that hasn't always been the case. In 2005, a Wayne Simien-led Kansas team suffered a crushing loss to Texas Tech on the road and was never the same afterwards. The Jayhawks followed that game by losing two more, to Iowa State and Oklahoma. As fans will likely remember forever, Kansas ended the season with a loss to Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. That team was laden with veterans, just like this year's. Those upperclassmen faded after their struggles. Will it happen again? The remaining schedule is tough. The Jayhawks play Baylor at home Feb.9, at Texas on Feb. 11, at home against Kansas State on March 1 and at Texas A&M on March 8. While a late season letdown is certainly possible, it's unlikely, given Kansas' previous Big 12 dominance. Before K-State, the Jayhawks were beating teams by more than 20 points per game in conference play. Those statistics show that Collins could be right about another quality stretch of play coming up for the Jayhawks. And if they do finish strong, a Big 12 Championship and a No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournaments are strong possibilities. "We weren't trying to go undeafed," Arthur said. "Were trying to win championships. We can go get back in the gym and start back from scratch." That's good enough for Arthur. He won't care about a January loss to a rival if the Jayhawks can still compete for bigger prizes. Edited by Patrick De Oliveira BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) a double standard when it comes to baseball. "We're adding football games and we're adding basketball tournaments into exempt status and we're the only sport they're looking to cut games." Price said. "It's been a tough year for baseball at the NCAA level" The one positive result Price has seen from the Issues Committee's rule changes is the new fall practice guidelines. Under the new rules, teams are allowed to hold 32 practices within a 45-day window. In the past, Kansas usually held only 14-20 practices during the fall. As a result, the coaches were able to work extensively with the players and Price was able to give the team fall break off for the first time. For now, Price is content to let the season play itself out. While he's curious to see how other coaches react to the rule changes at season's end, winning games is his first priority. "I love the rule change in the fall," Price said. "I still don't like the rule change in the spring. I'd rather be indoors preparing my team to play than just sitting here doing nothing. I wish they could have extended the fall like they did and left the spring the way it was. "The best thing I've learned in my 30 years in the game is to only worry about the things you can control. My whole focus is just to get us to overachieve. We know we're an underdog in the conference we play in. I try not to let those distractions affect the way we go about our preparation."

Perhaps other than Nebraska, Colorado is the best team to play after a big loss when you're looking for a victory. It will be interesting to see how Kansas reacts in its first game after its first loss. Odds are the players will be motivated and should build a big lead early against the hapless Buffaloes. Brandon Rush In the first game between Kansas and Colorado last season, Rush went for 21 points Rush WHO TO WATCH and eight rebounds. He was upstaged by Richard Roby, who scored 30 with just 15 field goal attempts. The two of them are going to go at it, and Rush should be motivated to have a big game after not being a factor for his team in the second half against Kansas State. Does anybody remember the Harrisons? QUESTION MARK HEARYE, HEARYE D. J. and David Harrison used to drive Kansas fans mad with their aggressive, sometimes over-aggressive, play. D.J. was a guard and was two years older than David, a big man. He sometimes scowled at the Allen Fieldhouse crowd, but David really secured a place in negative KU lore when he got into squabbles with Drew Gooden, Nick Collison and Jayhawks fans. David is now in his fourth year with the Indiana Pacers and averaged 5.2 points a game for his career. "We have a really nice team, and we do a lot of good things. We weren't going to run the table as much as I wish we could, the players knew that wasn't going to happen. The chances of that happening were certainly remote." —Kansas coach Bill Self -Kansas coach Bill Self "You go on the road and if you score 70 points and you have good enough defensive rebounding, you should have a chance to win, but their guards played very well."

JOSEPH KIPCHA Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard FATIMA OLEY Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Jayhawk guards did a good job offensively against the Wildcats on Wednesday, making 16 of 30 field goals, but they didn't defend well. Robinson didn't pressure Clent Stewart and Jacob Pullen as much as he should have. ★★☆☆ Mario Chalmers. 6-foot-1 junior guard PETER HELMSON Mario Chambers, 8-0-0-1 junior guard Same thing for Chalmers. He was excellent on the offensive side of the ball, making jump shots, layups and free throws, but he didn't pressure his man. Kansas needs to pick up plenty of steals against a bad Colorado team. A. S. MORRIS ★★★☆☆ Braithwaite Rush, 6-foot-8 junior runner. Rush said he wasn't aggressive enough in the second half on Wednesday. He only scored three points after scoring 12 in the first half. Expect Rush to have a big game going against Richard Roby. He and Roby played together occasionally in high school and enjoy matching up against one another. Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard ★★★★☆ Jackson only attempted two field goals against Kansas State. Part of the blame has to fall to the guards for not getting him the ball, but he must be more of an offensive option against quality competition. He should do fine against a weak frontline Saturday. ★★ CINEMAS 3D Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward Colorado (9-11, 1-5) ★★★☆☆ Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sopho- more forward Arthur rebounded, scored, blocked shots and didn't turn the ball over in Kansas' last game. Too bad he only played 17 minutes because of foul trouble. Some part of Arthur's game always seems to be missing. THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard Collins came off the bench and quietly had a good game against the Wildcats. He scored 12 points and was not afraid to drive to the hoop. Collins can make it three straight games with double-figure scoring if he gets 10 or more against the Buffaloos. THE SIXTH MAN ★★★★★ Roby's scoring average is down - 17.3 points per game to 16.5 - but his field goal percentage is up - 38.3 percent to 49.6 percent. PETER LEE Richard Roby, 6-foot-6 senior guard ★★★★☆ Marcus Hall, 6-foot-2 senior guard Hall gives Colorado a second scoring option with 12.6 points per game. The Austin, Texas, native also is averaging 3.8 assists per game. Marcus Hall, 6-foot-2 senior guard A SAMUEL KEITH Higgins is playing an average of 31.8 minutes per game in his freshman campaign. His father, Rod, is the general manager of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats. KANSAS 15 ★★★☆ Cory Higgins, 6-foot-5 freshman guard ★★★☆☆ ★★★☆☆ Xavier Silas, 6-foot-5 sophomore guard Silas is third on the team in scoring an average of 10.2 points per game this season. He's hit just 18-of-58 from beyond the three-point line. Coach Jeff Bzdelik has some crazy scheme that fools the Jayhawks and makes this a close game. Bzdelik, the first-year man for the Buffalooes, is a great coach. In the past, Bzdelik coached the Denver Nuggets. After that, he transformed Air Force into an NCAA Tournament-caliber team before taking a job with Colorado. His teams usually run a Princeton-style offense with lots of motion, screens and backdoor cuts. The system could give Kansas fits for a while. PETER JOHN KIMBROOK PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... Mark Dent Marcus King-Stockton, 6-foot-9 junior forward The Buffaloes don't have much front-court depth. King-Stockton is the only Buffalo over 6-foot-7 who plays major minutes. 1 dogmat his aver last numbe playin ★★★☆★★ THE SIXTH MAN Jermyl Jackson Wilson, 6-foot-6 junior forward Jackson-Wilson started his career at Ohio State, and averaged 8.0 points per game last season as a sophomore. His numbers are down this year - he's playing an average of 19 minutes and scoring 4.5 points per game. 10. rio Chalmers ★★★★ THE COORS EVENT CENTER WILL BE MOVIE- THEATER SILENT IF... -Rustin Dodd Everything goes according to plan for Kansas. This game should be nothing. The Jayhawks are superior to the Buffaloes at every position and have a deeper bench. Kansas needs a big victory to gets its confidence back up, and that probably won't be to hard to do. Expect all the starters and Sherron Collins to score in double figures. CU TIPOFF ATAGLANCE Coach Jeff Bzdelik has tried to cultivate a winning culture in his first season at Colorado. The result? They've been a work in progress. Colorado is 9-11 overall, 1-5 in the Big 12, and comes to Saturday's game losers of four straight games. The Buffaloes looked listless at a 57-41 loss against Iowa State on Tuesday. Colorado is led by senior guard Richard Roby's 16.5 average points per game. History hasn't been kind to Colorado. Kansas has won 36 of its last 37 games against Colorado. The only Buffalo victory came in 2003, when Colorado slipped by Kansas 60-59. WHO TO WATCH Richard Roby, 6-foot-6 senior guard Roby has put up solid ruby on numbers on bad teams for almost four years. Roby — Colorado's fourth all-time leading scorer — is averaging B. L. Roby 19 points and 7.6 rebounds in his last 11 games. Roby and K-State's Bill Walker are similar players with similar abilities, but unlike Walker, who can play inside and outside. Roby plays primarily on the perimeter. Will Colorado fans outnumber Kansas' supporters? QUESTION MARK The Kansas game has traditionally been the only sellout of the year at the Coors Events Center in Boulder, Colo. But most of those fans have usually been Kansas fans from western Kansas who traveled to Boulder for a chance to see the Jayhawks live. To prevent a pro-Jayhawk crowd, Colorado implemented a ticket policy where prospective single-game ticket buyers had to buy tickets to other Colorado games – in addition to the Kansas game. HEAR YE.

Wise drove the vehicle north on Massachusetts street and caused two more accidents, one at 11th street and one in front of the Granada. According to police, the second accident disabled the vehicle and Wise again fled on foot. He tried to enter a green Toyota van that was stopped at the light on Tenth street. Police ordered Wise away from the vehicle. According to reports, Wise walked a short distance east on Tenth street before police apprehended him. Police found a 9mm Ruger at the scene. At about 8 p.m., Lawrence police attempted to pull Wise over at Sixth and Vermont streets after they received a tip from Leavenworth County sheriff patrol officers that the 1999 Plymouth Voyager Wise drove was stolen. Wise ignored police attempts to pull him over, and continued down Vermont street where he caused an accident at 11th and Vermont streets. At 19th and Massachusetts streets, Wise abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot to the Dairy Queen across the street.

Flu shots save money, well-being BY MARY SORRICK msorick@kansan.com Flu season has descended upon the University of Kansas. She said many students reported an abrupt onset of symptoms, including fever, headache, body aches and cough. Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the flu virus hit students at an accelerated rate beginning two weeks ago. "A common description is, 'I was feeling fine this afternoon, then all of a sudden I started feeling horrible.' Denning said. Influenza often circulates around campus in February, but she said more students had been afflicted this year than in previous flu seasons. CAUTION IN THE WINDOWS The best strategies for students to protect against influenza include staying away from coughing people, washing hands regularly and keeping the immune system strong by eating well and getting plenty of sleep. Denning said. She said students who are already sick should cough or sneeze into their shoulder 8 She also recommended students buy a thermometer to take their temperature if they start to feel sick. A fever often distinguishes influenza from the common cold and Denning said students with a temperature higher than 101 degrees should call Watkins to set up an appointment. Mai Do, marketing coordinator at Watkins, said it was important for students or arm to avoid spreading the virus to others. "It's a lot cheaper to come in and get the flu shot." Denning said. "Plus, you won't be miserable for a few days." diagnosed with influenza to stay home until they have been fever-free for 24 hours. Do said students should overcome their reluctance to miss class to avoid spreading the virus to others. Students who have not gotten an influenza shot can do so at the flu clinic at Watkins on Tuesday between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Appointments for the vaccine can also be made by calling Watkins at (785) 864-9507. Denning said professors and instructors should be more understanding about students' need to stay home. She also said physicians at Watkins would write a doctor's note for students who miss more than three days of class because of the flu. Despite this, Denning said it was in students' best interest to take steps to protect themselves against influenza. - Edited by Katherine Loeck A preventative flu vaccine costs $15 while Tamiflu, a drug prescribed to alleviate symptoms for those already sick with influenza, costs $85 at the Watkins pharmacy.

CAMPUS KU School of Law presents annual tribal conference annual tribal Conference The 12th annual Tribal Law and Government Conference was held Friday at the University of Kansas, Stacy Leeds, professor of law and director of the Tribal Law and Government Center, said that the conference was about opening doors for Native Americans. "Any student that graduates from the business school that may go into banking could be handling money for a Native American tribe," Leeds said. Leeds said there were four Kansas tribes involved: Putawatomie, Kickapoo, Sac and Fox and Iowa. from various areas. The conference held a panel consisting of tribal attorneys, business leaders and law professors Leeds said the goal of the conference was to "offer other things that tribes can go into besides casinos, such as construction and banking." The conference's topic was especially timely because Kansas has taken steps to open state-owned casinos and other states may follow suit. Meet your Student Senator with Aaron Jacobs Jason Baker BY ALEXANDRA GARRY agarry@kansan.com Nontraditional student senator Aaron Jacobs' college career has been, well, nontraditional. Jacobs, a Leawood senior majoring in political science and philosophy, took a year off after his junior year to work with underprivileged youth outside Chicago. "I wanted to take a break before I graduated," Jacobs said. "A lot of people graduate and really don't know what they want to do with their lives. I wanted to take some time to figure that out." Jacobs took the opportunity to "leave the nest" through AmeriCorps VISTA, a volunteer program dedicated to fighting poverty. Jacobs worked with a charitable organization for high school dropouts. The experience, he said, expanded his horizons and deepened his belief in the value of education. "It gave me a new and different perspective," he said. "It made me a better person and a better student." Today Jacobs continues his interest in community service through Student Senate. "Nontraditional students are very underrepresented on campus by other students." Jacobs said. "There's a lot of organizations and administration programs for nontraditional students on campus, but not a lot of student representation. I wanted to become a student advocate for other students like me." Any student who is married, a veteran or a parent is defined as a nontraditional student, according to the Nontraditional Student Services Web site. Students who must commute 10 or more miles to attend class or who are three or more years older than their classmates also are considered nontraditional, according to the Web site. According to the Nontraditional Student Foundation, about 25 percent of Lawrence campus students fit into this category. From finding the cash to pay rising tuition costs to finding time to sleep, the challenges facing any college student are numerous. Nontraditional students face a varied set of additional challenges such as finding affordable child care or adjusting to returning to education after an extended absence. ENATI "They're really taking the initiative to pay for and make their way through college on their own — to fight through whatever life has given them, be that kids or marriage or military service or absence," Jacobs said. The varied interests of jacobs' constituents can make representation difficult. Jacobs focuses on finding funding for student groups through the Senate. "I like to find groups, especially those that focus on nontraditional interests, that need help and help them to find the money to see their goals fulfilled", Jacobs said.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2008 NEWS ENVIRONMENT 3A Amazon could answer climate questions MICHAEL ASTOR ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS An unidentified man cuts down a tree in a forest in Ikon, Nigeria, Thursday, Dec. 13, 2007. From Brazil, to central Africa, to once-lush islands in Asia's archipelagos, human encroachment is shrinking the world's rainforests. A man cutting a tree with a knife. MANAUS, Brazil — Julio Tota stood atop a 195-foot steel tower in the heart of the Amazon rain forest, watching "rivers of air" flowing over an unbroken green canopy that stretched as far as the eve could see. Instead, they hover and drift — confounding scientific efforts to unlock the secrets of the world's largest remaining tropical wilderness. These billows of fog showed researcher Tota how greenhouse gases emitted by decaying organic material on the forest floor don't rise straight into the atmosphere, as scientists had supposed. "What we've learned is the Amazon rain forest is much more fragile and much more complex than we had first imagined." Tota said. "My research is pretty specific, it's aimed at showing why all our measurements are probably off." Tota is part of the Large Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment, a decade-old endeavor involving hundreds of scientists, led by Brazilians and with funding from NASA and the European Union. Their open-air "laboratories" are 15 such observation posts spread over an area of rain forest larger than Europe. The project's goal is to make the best scientific arguments for why this vast rain forest — along with other endangered forests in Africa, southeast Asia and elsewhere — is essential to combating global climate change. But as the first phase of the $100 million experiment draws to a close, its researchers acknowledge that the data have raised more questions than answers. Scientists can now say with certainty that the Amazon is neither the lungs of the Earth, nor the planet's air conditioner. Paradoxically, the forest's cooling vapors also trap heat, by reflecting it back toward Earth in much the same way greenhouse gases do. But a key question remains unanswered: Does the Amazon work as a net carbon "sink," absorbing carbon dioxide, or is it adding more CO2 to the atmosphere than it is subtracting, because of burning and other deforestation that have claimed an average 8,000 square miles — an area the size of Israel or New Jersey — each year of the past decade? Scientists also can't predict every way in which continued destruction of the Amazon — for timber, for cattle ranching, for soybean farming — might affect global climate. But it will almost certainly lead to drier conditions over a wide area, since ground moisture taken up and evaporated through trees is recycled as rainfall. Some computer simulations suggest deforestation could cause droughts as far afield as the U.S. grain belt, apparently because chain reactions in the atmosphere would shift the Polar Jet Stream and the precipitation it brings. These questions take on new urgency as global warming's effects become ever more apparent, and as forests fall at a nonstop pace. In one sign of growing concern, Brazil's national leadership met in emergency session on Jan. 24 to deal with a sudden surge in deforestation after a three-year slowdown. New studies suggest the Amazon may be approaching a tipping point, at which the drier conditions caused by deforestation will reduce rainfall enough to transform the humid tropical forest into a giant savanna. If preserving the 80 percent of the Amazon still standing would help offset some greenhouse emissions, destroying it would almost certainly accelerate global warming by releasing perhaps 100 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere — equal to some 10 years' worth of total global emissions. "If you cut down all the tropical forests in the world, you may increase CO2 concentrations by 25 percent," said Brazilian climatologist Carlos Alberto Nobre. Deforestation — both the burning and rotting of wood in the Amazon — already releases an estimated 400 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year, accounting for up to 80 percent of Brazil's greenhouse gases, boosting this country to sixth place or higher among emitter nations. By contrast, each acre of rain forest that remains intact takes somewhere between 80 and 480 pounds of carbon out of the atmosphere each year through the process of photosynthesis. The uncertainty in that range hints at the unknowns still puzzling researchers. In the next phase of the grand Amazon experiment, two airplanes will measure emissions higher in the atmosphere to try to answer definitively whether the rain forest absorbs more carbon than it produces. INTERNATIONAL Israeli leader decides to remain in government remain in government JERUSALEM — Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Sunday he would not leave Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's government because of its handling of the 2006 war against Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas, but would stay on to redress the problems in the military that the fighting exposed. Barak's announcement at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting removed any immediate threat to the survival of Olmert's government as it pursues its declared goal of signing a peace treaty with the Palestinians this year. Barak had said before joining the coalition in June that he would push for Olmert's resignation or early elections after a war inquiry delivered its final report. The report, delivered last Wednesday, left Olmert relatively unscathed, but criticized the government and the army for "serious failings and flaws." "Why am I staying! I'm staying in the post of defense minister because I know what kind of challenges face Israel — Gaza, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, the rehabilitation of the military and the political process?" Barak said. If Barak were to have pulled Labor's 19-member faction out of the coalition, Olmert would have been stripped of his parliamentary majority and likely forced to call an election. His coalition now controls 67 of parliament's 120 seats. But with Labor trailing badly in public opinion polls, Barak apparently decided his party's political fortunes — and his own — would be better served by remaining in the government. STATE Boy missing from home where two were shot Associated Press KANSAS CITY Kan. — Police in Kansas City, Kan., are searching for a 3-year-old boy taken from a home where a mother and an infant girl were found shot to death Sunday morning. Seth Guerrero is missing and believed to be with his father. Andrew Anthony Guerrero, a 23-year-old described by police as a person of interest in the deaths. Seth is a Hispanic male, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is 3 feet tall and weighs 45 pounds. Neighbors say the woman worked at the library and had lived at the home for two years. Officers were called to the home around 11 a.m., when they found a woman in her 20s and an infant girl dead. Two cars were missing from the home, but a 2004 silver Nissan truck was later found. A 2004 silver Saturn SUV is still missing. Associated Press NATIONAL Husband says the devil caused his wife to die ODESA, Texas — A man accused of killing his wife says he was trying to exorcise a demon from her when the devil entered his body and caused her to die, according to a police probable cause statement. Jan David Clark, 60, was arrested Friday after authorities went to his home and found Susan Kay Clark's body wrapped in a bed sheet with a cross and sword on top of it. Officers had gone to the home after being told that Clark had called a friend and said his 59-year-old wife was dead, said Sgt. Gary Duesler said the Ector County Sheriff's Office. Clark told investigators he had his wife pinned face down on a carpeted floor when she died. Clark was charged with murder and remained in the Ector County jail on Sunday in lieu of $300,000 bail. The woman's body was taken to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy.

The violence endangered a $300 million global aid operation supporting millions of people in the former French colony and also delayed the deployment of the European Union's peacekeeping mission to both Chad and neighboring Central African Republic. Libya's official agency, JANA, reported that Chadian rebel leader Mahamat Nouri agreed to a ceasefire Saturday night after speaking to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who was appointed by the African Union to mediate in the crisis. Rebel spokesman Mahamat Hassane Boulmaye said he had not heard of any cease-fire and did not believe Nouri would agree to an unconditional end to hostilities. "The fighters would rebel," Boulmaye told The Associated in an early morning telephone call Sunday. Boulmaye said he was speaking from the border with Sudan and had not spoken to Nouri since Saturday afternoon. The rebels arrived after a three-day push across the desert from the eastern border with Sudan in about 250 pickups with mounted submachine guns. The rebels gathered outside N'Djamena overnight before 1,000 to 1,500 fighters entered early Saturday and spread through the city, said Col. Thierry Burkhard, a French military spokesman. Government forces were pushing rebels away from N' Djamena, he said late Saturday. "It "The head of state is fine in his palace. It's true that there are some rebels who have entered the city, but to say the city has fallen is false." Zene said his information came from a telephone call with the defense minister in N'Diamena. "It's true that there are some rebels who have entered the city,but to say the city has fallen is false." Boulmaye, the rebel spokesman, CHERIF MAHAMAT ZENE Chad's ambassador to Ethiopia appears clear that President Deby succeeded in containing them at his palace and is even in the process of pushing them back," Burkhard said. A bomb hit the residence of the Saudi ambassador to Chad, killing the wife and daughter of an embassy staffer taking shelter from the fighting, according to a Saudi Foreign Ministry statement. Chad's ambassador in Ethiopia, Cherif Mahamat Zene, told The Associated Press "the situation is under control. told AP earlier that rebel had surrounded the presidential palace and claimed that government soldiers were defecting. "Many in the military have rallied with the rebels," said Boulmaye, whose Union of Forces for Democracy and Development is the biggest rebel group. Chad, a French colony until 1960, has been convulsed by civil wars and invasions since independence, and the recent discovery of oil has only increased the intensity of the struggle for power in the largely desert country about three times the size of California. In April 2006, one Chadian rebel group launched a failed assault on N'Dijamaa. The rebel force is believed to be a coalition of three groups, including the biggest led by Nouri, a former diplomat who defected 16 months ago, and a nephew of Deby's, Timan Erdimi. They long have been fighting to overthrow Deby, whom they accuse of corruption. Deby, himself a soldier, has suffered many defections in the past and morale is low in the army. The rebels also have said they were unhappy with the president not providing enough support to rebels in Sudan's Darfur region, some of whom are from Deby's own tribe, the Zaghawa, who are found in both Chad and Sudan. The African Union, holding a summit in Ethiopia, said it would not recognize the rebels should they seize power. Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete, new head of the 52-nation bloc, said leaders had selected Gadhafi and Republic of Congo President Denis Sassou-Nguesso to try to broker peace. France said it "firmly condemns the attempt to take power by force." A leader of Chad's main opposition alliance, which is unarmed and not associated with the rebels, said shooting broke out after rebels entered the city around 8 a.m. but appeared to die down.

ASSOCIATED PRESS SCIENCE Hubble in need of an eye exam New land-based telescopes could look even further back in time BY SETH BORENSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — A telescope arms race is taking shape around the world. Astronomers are drawing up plans for the biggest, most powerful instruments ever constructed, capable of peering far deeper into the universe — and further back in time — than ever before. The building boom, which is expected to play out over the next decade and cost billions of dollars, is being driven by technological In fact, the super-sized telescopes will yield even finer advances that afford unprecedented clarity and magnification. Some scientists say it will be much like switching from regular TV to high-definition. pened 13.7 billion years ago. HENRI BOFFIN Outreach scientist for the ESO "We hope to answer these questions: Are we alone in the universe? What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy in the universe?" "We hope to answer these questions: Are we alone in the universe? What is the nature of the dark matter and dark energy in the universe?" said astronomer Henri Boffin, outreach scientist for the European Southern Observatory. pictures than the Hubble Space Telescope, which was put in orbit in 1990 and was long considered superior because its view was freed from the distorting effects of Earth's atmosphere. But now, land-based telescopes can correct for such distortion. With these proposed giant telescopes, astronomers hope to get the first pictures of planets outside our solar system, watch stars and planets being born, and catch a glimpse of what was happening near the birth of the universe. "We know almost nothing about the universe in its early stages," said Carnegie Observatories director Wendy Freedman, who chairs the board that is building the Giant Magellan Telescope. "The GMT is going to see in action the first stars, the first galaxies, the first supernovae, the first black holes to form." Two new technologies enable this extraordinary quest — one reliant on modern lasers and computing power and the other inspired by ancient Greek and Roman tilework. The first is adaptive optics. It allows telescopes on the ground to When scientists look at a faraway celestial object, they are seeing it as it existed millions and millions of years ago, because it takes so long light from the object to reach Earth. Just the names of many of the proposed observatories suggest an arms race: the Giant Magellan Telescope, the Thirty Meter Telescope and the European Extremely Large Telescope, which was downsized from the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope. Add to those three big ground observatories a new super eye in the sky, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled for launch in 2013. Current telescopes are able to look back only about 1 billion years in time. But the new telescopes will be so powerful that they should be able to gaze back to a couple of hundred million years after the Big Bang, which scientists believe hap- get rid of the distortion caused when looking through Earth's thick atmosphere into space. Adaptive optics relies on a laser to create an artificial star, or a constellation of fake stars, in the sky. Astronomers then examine the fake stars and use computers to calculate how much atmospheric distortion there is at any given time. Then they adjust the mirrors to compensate like a pair of eyeglasses. This adjustment happens automatically hundreds of times per second. Adaptive optics worked first for smaller telescopes. But getting it to work for big observatories was a problem. The first successful use in large telescopes was in 2003 at the twin-telescope Keck Observatory in Hawaii, an effort that took nine years. The second breakthrough involves technology that makes bigger mirrors possible. Instead of casting a giant mirror in one piece, which is difficult and limits size, astronomers now make smaller mirror segments and piece them together. Keck scientist Jerry Nelson, now working on the Thirty Meter Telescope, pioneered this technique and said he got the idea from looking at how the Greeks and Romans A partnership of six U.S. universities, an Australian college, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Carnegie Institution of Washington will place the telescope in Las Campanas, Chile, around 2016. The plan is for an 80-foot mirror. The cost is around $500 million. - The Thirty Meter Telescope. The California Institute of Technology, the University of California and the Association of Canadian Universities for Research in Astronomy are aiming for a telescope with about 98-foot mirror by 2018. No site has been chosen. The cost is about $780 million. — The European Extremely Large Telescope. A partnership of European countries, called the European Southern Observatory, already has telescopes in Chile and is aiming for a new one with a mirror of 138 feet. The Europeans are aiming for a 2018 completion, but have not chosen a specific location yet. The cost would be $1.17 billion. The managers of these projects are fairly confident they will get the money they need to complete their grand visions. However, some astronomers worry that there may not be enough private or government money for all of them, so they find themselves competing for funding, even as they cheer each other on. If completed, ESO's European Extremely Large Telescope would be the biggest of the new observatories and should be able to see 20 to 100 times more sharply than the current best land-based telescopes. The Hubble, which set the standard for stunning astronomical pictures, will seem less amazing. In astronomy, the bigger the mirror, the greater the amount of light that can be grabbed from the universe. For the past decade and a half, the Keck has had the largest Earth-bound telescopes, with mirrors nearly 33 feet in diameter. "Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet," said 2006 Nobel Prize-winning physicist John Mather, senior project scientist for NASA's James Webb However, three giant land observatories, proposed for construction within the decade, are going to dwarf those: tilled their baths. This technique is going from 36 segments in current telescopes to 492 segments with his new project. The $4.5 billion Webb Telescope, designed to travel 900,000 miles beyond Earth's orbit, is not faced with the atmospheric distortion of ground JOHN MATHER Senior project scientist for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Space Telescope. - The Giant Magellan Telescope "Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet." telescopes. Still, it will use its own version of adaptive optics. Because of temperature fluctuations in the cold of space, the telescope will have to adjust the shape of its mirrors automatically. Webb's mirror, which is $2\frac{1}{2}$ times bigger than Hubble's, has 18 segments. While places like Arizona and Hawaii have been successful sites for high-quality space images. Chile is the focal point of the next-generation building boom.

Not because it is Valentine's Day and the possibility of being dateless looms, but because it is the last day for a 50 percent tuition refund, the last day to add classes and the day before credit/no credit starts. It is kind of ironic that a day of love could evoke such resentful and nerve-wracking emotions. But before the highlighters and gel pens are broken out to mark this day of renown, there may be a solution. Calculus I was my Everest, and I didn't know where to begin. I knew I needed a tutor, and a flier was the first place I looked. Paying as much as $12 an hour for a tutor seemed outlandish for help with a 100-level class, regardless of the guarantee the flier offered. The cure for my class woes was KU's Academic Achievement and Access Center, which offers tutoring services for those classes that are prerequisites to move on to bigger and better classes at KU. Then, low and behold, there was the center's poster. I came to discover that the center offers tutoring for classes such as Biology 110, French and Spanish classes and Math 101, to name a few. For my other classes that the center wasn't offering, I found out that tutoring could be offered for a specific class if we enough students show interest. (From what I hear, the genetics class needs a study seminar.) The tutoring sessions cost a reasonable $60 per semester with three hours of tutoring per week. It was something I could not pass up. I could be giving the impression that a little under the table action is going on between me and the AAAC, but let me ensure you, no one is twisting my arm. The AAAC tutoring services met the needs of an average college student who needed to pass a class. I couldn't fathom spending $480 (16 weeks of tutoring at $10 per hour for three hours a week) in one semester for tutoring when I could spend $60 for the same amount of tutoring at $1.25 per hour. I am not attempting to insult the intelligence of a tutor or a student who can afford tutoring at that price. I really do think that I could find much more fruitful expenditures for the $420 difference. The credit/no credit option for classes is a great alternative for students who struggle in certain higher level classes, but in those 100-level classes that the administration thinks anyone can pass, I would rather have my effort be reflected in a "B" as opposed to a "CR." Your university is here to help, so let them help you. In the end, I got a "B" in Calculus I. It was an "A" in effort though, and that's what really counts, right? Now, if I could only find a date for Valentine's Day. Hirschfeld is an Augusta sophomore in journalism. FROM THE DRAWING BOARD LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE, IMAGINE HOW COLD IT WOULD BE WITHOUT GLOBAL WARMING. BUS STOP © Yahn Disheng 1.2008 Tyler Doehring COMMENTARY Free Willy from sonar Navy's exemption from environmental laws angers young generation MANDY EARLES I've always criticized Bush and his administration, and I've always disliked Bush when it came to the environment. I knew even in 2000, the first year I could vote, to not vote for Bush. I knew I would not agree with his policies especially when it came to the environment. So why am I surprised he voted to exempt the Navy from environmental laws in California? I'm not surprised that he voted with the Navy. His decision was to let the Navy continue using sonar devices in order to detect foreign submarines, which Bush stated was a matter of national security. Instead of using the courts to reverse their previous ruling, Bush went above the courts and waived their rulings. Even though Bush made this ruling, it was still up to the courts to decide what the Navy could and couldn't do. The court made a ruling that lifted some of the Navy's previous limitations on sonar training, but the court did not lift them all, as Bush would've done. Many scientists believe that high-frequency sonar can cause hearing and brain damage in marine mammals. But there is also evidence that not all species of marine mammals are affected by the sonar. Whether the sonar hurts one animal or several seems unimportant because hurting just one species can cause enough damage to affect the world. This is where the issue becomes personal. My generation cares about the environment, and when I talk to my peers, I find this to be true, but they still aren't sure how to get involved. By watching and learning from Bush and his administration's actions, we can learn how we don't want our government run and what we want our future government to do instead. I believe my generation is full of environmentalists. We are animal-lovers, but we just aren't sure what to do about it. This issue hits home for me because I had a favorite animal growing up, killer whales. "Free Willy" may have had some part in my obsession with them. But this of course led to me loving other types of whales and of course, dolphins. I love all animals. Even the slimy ones. I own a four and a half year-old pug named Onyx, who has cost me a lot of money. But I've always known I could never live without at least one animal in my life. And my generation relates to this, which is why the whole Michael Vick thing became such major national news — because it upset my generation. The best action we can take as a generation is to listen and to be informed, especially with upcoming elections. The more knowledge we have of where each candidate stands in regard to the environment, then the easier it will be to make the right choice. But should we choose wrongly, for we all know how deceptive politicians can be, then again the more knowledge we have of what our government is doing, the more we can hold them accountable, and possibly make a difference and save our environment. Earles is an Olathe senior in journalism. 》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR For Super Tuesday and beyond, fight non-voters' apathy It astonishes me how apathetic people are about the party primaries. Now is our only chance to do something about it. This is the first time since 1952 that neither party had an incumbent president or vice president running, and both the democrat and republican races are too close to call. Hasn't anyone during a general presidential election ever thought, "We're picking one of these two? Seriously?" Yet so many Americans, perhaps too used to watching In Florida, for example (which really ought to know that every vote counts), less than 20 percent of the population voted in the primaries (check out www.cnn.com). For those who saw The University Daily Kansan last Tuesday, Kansas' caucus system is admittedly weird. Nothing says "party like it's 1799" like holding a caucus. sports, seem to have forgotten that we have a say in the outcome. much time, and the effect could be enormous. But follow the directions, and you'll see it doesn't take that Five elections in different states have been decided by 15,000 votes or fewer,which is significantly less than the student body population at KU.

KU Business Career Services Center 》 TECHNOLOGY More buildings go Wi-Fi Senate surveying campus as part of two-year plan BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com Four more buildings on campus went wireless last week. Malott Hall, Haworth Hall, Summerfield Hall and Murphy Hall received wireless Internet access as part of the two-year KU wireless initiative. The initiative, which costs $2.6 million, will add 700 wireless access points to the 218 existing ones. First, a survey of each building is done to decide where to put the access points. Next, the access points are installed, along with any other necessary infrastructure. The points are then activated. The focus, said Bill Myers, director of assessment and outreach for information services, was on buildings that had the most classroom and lab space. Wireless internet, or Wi-Fi, works by sending data through radio waves. A wireless adapter transforms information from the computer into a radio signal and sends it to a router, which is physically hooked into the Internet. The process works in reverse to send information from the Internet to the computer. The survey stage for these four buildings began in fall 2007. Myers said Student Senate contributed $1.3 million of the funds. "The goal of the project is to achieve wireless coverage in 100 percent of the classrooms and labs on campus." Myers said. He also said that the residence halls were not included in the initiative. pus wireless.

R a y Wittling, student body vice president, said were the most important to students. The amount of traffic, Wittlinger said, might overload the routers and cause problems. The infrastructure required to support a wireless residence hall would be expensive. Wittlinger also said that while students were interested in having wireless Internet in the residence halls, several factors made it not feasible. BILL MYERS Director of INfomation Services "The goal of the project is to achieve wireless coverage in 100 percent of the classrooms and labs on campus." that the Student Senate approved the $1.3 million in spring 2007. The money came from a reserve account. "Miscellaneous Common Areas go online on July 14. Wittlinger said Senate looked at campus, talked to students and conducted surveys to decide what areas to make wireless. Through these surveys, Senate decided that classrooms and labs The next buildings to become wireless are the Art and Design Building, Blake Hall, Lindley Hall, and Robinson Center. They are scheduled to be activated this month. Edited by Matt Hirschfeld NATION Holloway investigation reopened after interview reveals information BY MIKE CORDER ASSOCIATED PRESS. THE HAGUE, Netherlands The mother of missing American teenager Natalee Holloway said that she's now convinced her daughter is dead after watching hidden camera footage of a Dutch student allegedly acknowledging involvement, according to an interview published Saturday. "I can let her go now and begin mourning." Beth Twitty said in an interview late Friday with the best-selling Dutch daily De Telegraaf. "The 1 percent of hope I had that she was still alive is gone." Joran van der Sloot on Friday denied that he planned television show in which he will claim to have solved the mystery of Holloway's May 2005 disappearance with the help of an undercover investigation. "I can let her go now and begin mourning. The 1 percent of hope I had that she was still alive is gone." It was not known whether Twity had heard of Van der Sloot's denial before she spoke with the Dutch newspaper. Twity, who is in the Netherlands at De Vries' invitation, was not available to speak Saturday, said Peter Schouten, a spokesman for the crime reporter's show. BETH TWITTY Natalee Holloway's mother Van der Sloot was interviewed by the respected Dutch television show "Pauw & Witteman" following reports that crime reporter Peter R. De Vries had captured him making statements about the case. had anything to do with Holloway's disappearance in Aruba, saying he lied when he told someone privately he was involved. "It is true I told someone. Everybody will see it Sunday," Van Droet said, referring to De Vries' Van dei Sloot spoke to the late night current affairs show by telephone. His voice was recognizable from an earlier appearance on the show, which has closely followed the Holloway case. "That is what he wanted to hear, so I told him what he wanted to hear," Van der Sloot said, adding that he had built up a relationship with the man he spoke to, but had never fully trusted him. He did not identify the man. "It is so stupid, it is so stupid, it is really stupid," Van der Sloot said, his voice cracking. Van der Sloot's statement Friday came hours after Aruban prosecutors announced they were reopening their investigation into Holloway's disappearance after seeing De Vries' material. Aruba prosecutors made no reference to the possibility of an arrest, and Van der Sloot said he does not expect to be arrested again. “It's easy to prove that what I said is not true, and that actually this is much ado about nothing, and so it's actually a shame that her mother has flown here and everything,” he said. One of Van der Sloot's attorneys, Joseph Tacopina of New York, said his client shouldn't have discussed the case. "He should have hung up the phone, but he didn't. Clearly it's not something his parents are happy about," Tacopina told The Associated Press. "The evidence refutes what Joran supposedly said," said Tacopina, who said he heard of the interview through media reports. "It doesn't change the truth of this case. And the truth is, Joran had nothing to do with Natalee's death." De Vries has not made clear what the "confession" consists of. Dutch newspapers published a partial transcript of his talks with Aruba prosecutor Hans Mos, and Mos' office said Friday that "what appeared on the Internet seems to be a reproduction of a part of the conversation."

Serbians were voting Sunday in a runoff presidential election that may bring ultra-nationalist Tomislav Nikolic, an ally of late hardline President Slobodan Milošević back to power, before a potentially explosive split by the Serbian province of Kosovo. The closely contested race pits pro-Western incumbent Boris ladic against rightwing extremist Tomislav Nikolic, who rulled with Milošević during his bloody Balkan wars of the 1990s. ASSOCIATED PRESS BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbia's pro-Western president won a closely contested election Sunday, edging an ally of late autocrat Slobodan Milosevic days before an expected declaration of independence by the breakaway Kosovo province. President Boris Tadic won 51 percent of the vote, when Tomislav Nikolic, who ruled with Milosevic during the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s, had 47 percent, according to the state electoral commission. "Serbia has shown its great democratic potential," Tadic said in his victory speech, praising Nikolic for "the number of votes he has won." Nikolic congratulated Tadic but added, "I will remain to be his tough opposition." Tadic's supporters celebrated in downtown Belgrade, waving Serbian, EU and Democratic Party flags and honking car horns. The outcome indicated that a majority of Serbsians want the country to stay on its path of pro-Western reform and closer ties with the European Union, instead of heading back to the nationalism and isolation that characterized the Milosevic era. Nikolic's defeat will also likely alleviate fears in the West that Serbia would react violently to Kosovo's expected declaration of independence later this month. Both Tadic and Nikolic oppose the province's independence, but Tadic has ruled out the use of force and will likely seek to preserve close ties with the EU and the US even if they recognize Kosovo statehood. The province, dominated by pro-independence ethnic Albanians, has been run by the United Nations and NATO since the 1998-99 war, when NATO bombed Serbia for 78 days to stop his brutal crackdown against Kosovo separatists. Kosovo's Albanian leaders said they would declare independence days after the Serbian runoff, no matter who wins, and they expect the U.S. and most EU countries to follow up with quick recognition. While pledging never to recognize Kosovo independence, Tadic has said there is "no alternative" to EU membership for Serbia. Nikolic has insisted that Serbia must aban- its EU member- ship bid if the bloc upholds Kosovo's independence and should turn to its ally Russia instead. He has advocated measures including armed intervention to protect minority Serbs in the province. lead the country toward the EU. "There is no chance any more for anyone to put any obstacles on that road because the citizens gave it the legitimacy", Dinkic said. Mladian Dinkic, the leader of the pro-Western G17 Plus party allied with Tadic, said the president's re-election gave him the legitimacy to "There is no chance any more for anyone to put any obstacles on that road because the citizens gave it the legitimacy." The European Union was quick to congratulate Tadic. The EU "welcomes the fact that MLADJAN DINKIC Leader of the G17 Plus party the serbian people seem to have confirmed their support to the democratic and European course of their country," the bloc said in a statement. Voters in Belgrade said the balloting was crucial. "We have just recovered a little, we must not stop now," says Dusan Andjic, a 40-year-old lawyer who voted for Tadic. "This is really a matter of life and death." Nikolic's supporters said Serbia's pro-Western leaders were going to sell out the country. "If we don't stop them, they will give away Kosovo," said Marko Stipcev, a clerk. Serbia's presidency is formally a ceremonial post, though it gained in importance and influence under Milosevic's virtually unruled rule in the 1990s. A victory for Nikolic — whose party boss Vojislav Seseli is now on trial for alleged war crimes at the U.N. tribunal for the former Yugoslavia — would have dashed Western hopes that Serbia will arrest two Bosnian Serb war crimes fugitives, Gen.

NATION NATION Bush announces plan to revive weak economy WASHINGTON — In the nations first-ever S3 trillion budget, President Bush seeks to seal his legacy of promoting a strong defense to fight terrorism and tax cuts to spur the economy. Democrats, who control Congress, are pledging fierce opposition to Bush's final spending plan — perhaps even until the next president takes office. The 2009 spending plan sent to Congress on Monday will project huge budget deficits, around $400 billion for this year and next and more than double the 2007 deficit of $163 billion. But even those estimates could prove too low given the rapidly weakening economy and the total costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which Bush does not include in his request for the budget year beginning Oct. 1. Last year, when Democrats were newly in the majority, there were drawn-out veto struggles. This year's fights could be worse because it is an election year. As in past years, Bush's biggest proposed increases are in national security. Defense spending is projected to rise by about 7 percent to $515 billion and homeland security money by almost 11 percent, with a big gain for border security. Details on the budget were obtained through interviews with administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity until the budget's release. The bulk of government programs for which Congress sets annual spending levels would remain essentially frozen at current levels. The president does shower extra money on some favored programs in education and to bolster inspections of imported food. Associated Press Military offers condolences for deaths of civilians IRAQ BAGHDAD — The U.S. military said Monday that it accidentally killed nine Iraqi civilians during an operation targeting al-Qaida in Iraq south of Baghdad. The civilians were killed Saturday near Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of the Iraqi capital, U.S. Navy Lt. Patrick Evans told The Associated Press. Three more civilians were wounded and taken to U.S. military hospitals nearby, Evans said. The killings occurred as U.S. forces pursued suspected al-Qaida in Iraq militants in the area. Shortly after the incident, American officers met with a Muslim sheik representing citizens in the area, he said. The incident and the events surrounding it are under investigation, Evans said. "We offer our condolences to the families of those who were killed in the incident, and we mourn the loss of innocent civilian life," Evans said in a statement e-mailed to the AP. INTERNATIONAL Earthquakes in Rwanda, Congo kill at least 39 KIGALI, Rwanda — Two earthquakes struck hours apart in Rwanda and neighboring Congo on Sunday, killing at least 39 people and injuring hundreds of others, officials said. Some of the victims died when the church they were attending collapsed. The first, 6.0-magnitude quake struck Congo early Sunday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The second quake, which registered 5.0, hit a few hours later near the countries' border, in Rwanda's rural Rusizi district.

Rio de Janeiro hosts five-day carnival BY ALAN CLENDENNING ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Brazilian beauties wearing only sequins led carnival parades lasting until dawn Sunday as second-division samba groups used a kaleidoscope of colorful dancers and floats to launch the biggest part of Rio's five-day bash. Led by a two-story golden lion, the samba group Estacio de Sa kicked off the party in a hail-of fireworks and roars from crowds waving the flags of their favorite samba groups at the 85,000-seat Sambadrome stadium. Argentine tourist Edgardo Levita, dressed up as pirate, marveled at the scene as he swilled beer and tried to hit on scantily dressed young Brazilian women swarming into the stands. Backlit with a purple neon glow, the towering float was surrounded by scores of dancers in skinlight lion costumes and followed by an army of women spinning in gold and red hoop skirts and elaborate headresses fashioned from crystal globes and feathers. "This is great, the best in the world," said Levita, 23. "Alcohol, women, the floats: Everything is perfect." Among the biggest carnival mysteries was the plan for the group Viradouro, forced by a judge last week to redo its carnival theme after Jewish group successfully sued and forced Viradouro to remove a float depicting naked holocaust victims with a dancing Adolf Hitler. The parading that didn't end until daylight was only a warm up for bigger competition among the city's top 12 samba schools, which mount 80-minute parades on Sunday and Monday nights to impress a panel of judges and be declared the year's champion. The group has said it would rework the float to celebrate freedom of expression, but hid the new float from public view, suspense surrounding how Viradouro will pull off its carnival theme: "It Give You Goosebumps." Crowds topping the million mark turned out in the northeastern city of Recife for the traditional Galo de Madrugada, or Midnight Rooster party, on Saturday. 2 for 1 Burgers after 6 p.m. and $2.75 Gustos 2 for 1 Burgers after 6 p.m. and $2.75 Gustos EVERY Monday at henry t's 6th & Kasold 749-2999 EVERY Monday at henry t's 6th & Kasold 749-2999 henry t's EFBREAK You should go Travel the world with college students from all over the country.

The site was created from the same software as encyclopedia site Wikipedia. Connect's goal in creating the site was to create a resource about Student Senate for students, said Riley Dutton, Pittsburg junior and the site's Web master. Since the site's launch on Jan. 27, the site has grown from around 80 pages to 547 articles yesterday afternoon. The site had 21,063 visitors and pages were edited 3,828 times. Like Wikipedia, visitors can edit articles and create new ones. Creators were concerned about vandalism to the site, but Dutton said it hadn't been much of a problem yet. "What's happened has been more experimentation," Dutton said. "Some people made a page about their friends." Dutton said many different members of Connect are monitoring the site for vandalism. He said he was on the site three to four hours a day. Curtis Marsh, program director for KU Info, said his involvement in the site began when a creator approached him for help with the article about KU Info. He then realized that the goals of WiKUpedia and KU Info were very similar. Students are contributing unique information to the site that other students may not know. Mark Pacey, Manhattan graduate student, wrote the first version of the basketball "It's a neat way for students to educate other students." to link back and forth between each other so users can find more information. CURTIS MARSH Program director for KU Info "It's a way to create synergy instead of building two complete sites," Marsh said. Marsh said KU Info was always looking for different ways to use the Internet. He said he had thought about creating a Facebook application, but that WiKUpedia was a good way to reach students.

Pacey coordinates the system used to organize camping groups. The system has "I'd been looking for a place to put the rules online," Pacey said. "It was easy web space." Pacey also started the KU traditions article, but hasn't made edits since then. He said the site was a good place for students to write about the University from a student's perspective. "Students can put things up there that aren't necessarily the University's viewpoint. Pacey said. Duke, Clemson and Case Western University all have their own Wiki sites. Mark Sublette, a former Clemson student, is the administrator of the Clemson Wiki. Sublette was also contacted by WiKUpedia creators and has been making form and content edits to the site. Sublette said the Clemson Wiki grew out of another university project, which had restricted the project. "Being independent from the Uniervies will give you more latitude," Sublette said. Sublette offered advice to the WiKUpedia creators to help them grow the site. "I told them to expect lots of help on popular topics, but expect to dig into the archives for back stories," Sublette said. "For stories on professors and when departments were started, expect to look them up." Despite starting last week, WiKUpedia is already a registered organization at the University. "I want to increase awareness of student government and happenings at the University in general," said Austin Kelly, presidential candidate for Connect.

That's what some students want to do with an orange-out in Allen Fieldhouse for tonight's men's basketball game against Missouri. Logan Heer, Olathe sophomore, started a Web site promoting the idea on facebook.com. The event encourages Kansas fans to wear orange shirts to the game. He said that he created the idea as a way to mock rival Missouri, and its fans who felt their football team deserved a bid to the Orange Bowl instead of the Jayhawks. As of Sunday afternoon, more th 650 people had said they would attend the event. "it's going to be fun," Heer said, "Who doesn't want to taunt Missouri?" Kyle O'Keefe, White Bear Lake, Minn., sophomore, said that the orange out was a great opportunity to increase the intensity of the rivalry. "I like the orange-out because of the competitive nature of the rivalry," O'Keechea said. "It'll increase the fans' intensity in the game, and rubbing it in Missouri's faces is always great." Cori Simon, Overland Park freshman, said that the celebration of the layhawks' historic football season deserved to go on, and this would be a great way to get it done.

Brett Werling, Fort Scott senior, said that he didn't like the idea of rolling the football season over into basketball. Werling also doubted that the orange-out would work because of the opposition to the idea and because many students didn't own orange Jayhawk shirts.

The other, not so much. WASHINGTON — When it comes to presidential primaries, Democrats and Republicans play by different rules. Which goes a long way toward explaining why Arizona Sen. John McCain hopes to take control of the race for the Republican presidential nomination in Super Tuesday's primaries and caucuses. And why the busiest primary day in history may merely intensify the contest between Democratic rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. "The delegate selection process is designed to keep the campaign going for as long as possible among Democrats," said Howard Wolfson, communications director for Clinton's campaign. The Democratic rules provide for delegates to be awarded proportionately on the basis of the popular vote. It wasn't always that way, but a change designed to weaken the control of party bosses was ushered in after the riotous Vietnam War-era 1968 convention. This year, Wolfson added, the calendar "was designed to pick a candidate as quickly as possible." Instead, the result, he said, is "this unbelievable, grueling sprint from the 26th of December to the 5th of February that will not result in a nominee being chosen." The sprint has been no less grueling for Republicans. But the GOP's winner-take-all contests make a difference. Then came Florida, in which McCain pocketed all 57 delegates in a breakthrough triumph. Endorsements from numerous party leaders soon followed, including Govs. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California and Rick Perry of Texas. McCain, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and others slogged through several contests, trading victories and dividing delegates. "It gives you a chance to end the race earlier," said Charlie Black, a strategist for McCain. "Theirs is going to drag out." In all, Democrats have primaries in 15 states and caucuses in seven states and American Samoa on Tuesday, with 1,681 delegates at stake. Republicans hold 15 primaries, five caucuses and one state convention, and pick 1,023 delegates. Nine of the Republican contests are winner-take-all. McCain is favored in primaries in five of them — his home state of Arizona, as well as Rudy Giuliani's New York, and New Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware. That's a total of 251 delegates. Losers get none, no matter how close they come. Romney is the favorite in the primary in Utah, where a large Mormon population gives him an edge for a winner-take-all prize.

After Ariel SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN K-STATE ASSISTANT ARRESTED FOR DUI PAGE 2B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL FACES OFF AGAINST ISU PAGE 4B WWW.KANSAN.COM MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4,2008 A ROCKY START PAGE 1B High times and low steals for Kansas in second-half victory Confidence boost prepares team for tough Missouri game BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com BOULDER, Colo. — The intensity and furor that Kansas showed in the nonconference season and early Big 12 play felt like a distant memory in the game's first 20 minutes. A loss to, gasp, Colorado, seemed like a possibility. Kansas Coach Bill Self didn't want his team to lose its second straight game, especially to the dismal Buffalooes. "No one is going to throw you a pity party because you lost a game," Self said to his team at the half with the game tied at 30. And no one had to. Kansas (21-1, 6-1) won 72-59, using an 8-0 run to open the second half, and put it away with an 11-2 run late in the game on Saturday. Collins and the other guards needed the talk the most. "I think coach changed it at halftime," sophomore guard Sherron Collins said. "We came out with more energy and changed it from there." They just weren't pressuring the ball like they used to. Earlier this season, guards Collins, Brandon Rush, Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers stole as easy as Danny Ocean's crew. On Saturday, though, they had about as much success with theft as the wet bandits from "Home Alone." KU's defense didn't steal the ball once in the first half, and the defensive woes went far deeper than that. Colorado's guards got almost any shot they wanted. Richard Roby made his first four shots, and Cory Higgins made all five of his in the first 20 minutes. They outplayed Collins, Rush and Chalmers, who scored a combined 10 points on four of 10 field goals. Chalmers blamed the altitude, Collins talked about overall flatness. Rush said the team just wasn't focused. Whatever it was, Self wasn't happy. He told them Colorado scored half of its points on plays they had scouted. Then, he used the pity party line to really wake them up, and it worked. "I think we just got used to the atmosphere," Chalmers said, "and we wanted it more." Collins, Rush and Chalmers scored 22 points on eight of 13 shooting in the final 20 minutes, Roby and Higgins scored just 12, and all of them were Roby's. Chalmers sparked the early 8-0 run with two steals. "I think they felt like they had something to prove," Self said. It's a good thing Kansas found its stride in the second half. The Jayhawks will need to be playing at a high level tonight against the Tigers. Today's game against Missouri could be far more challenging than it seemed a few days ago. Back then the Tigers were reeling from the suspensions of Stefon Hannah, Leo Lyons, Darryl Butterfield, Jason Horton and Marshall Brown for staying out past their midnight curfew at a Columbia, Mo, bar, and they lost to Nebraska at home. Missouri erased some of those bad memories on Saturday. The Tigers, who reinstated Brown and Lyons, beat Kansas State, becoming the first conference team to top the Wildcats. There's no word on whether Butterfield or Horton will be able to play tonight. Hannah, who broke his jaw at the bar last week, will be definitely be out. "He is what makes them go," Robinson said. "He's the point guard on that team, and he keeps them together. He's a big scoring option." Still, the absence of Hannah won't make it easy. K-State already found that out, and the lajhayws struggled against Missouri two weeks ago. Other than Kansas State and Colorado for a half, Missouri has been the only conference team to give Kansas trouble. Self said the Tigers' guards played some of the best defense he had seen all season. They kept Missouri close the entire game before the Jayhawks finally won by six. Last year at Allen Fieldhouse, Missouri led Kansas most of the game before losing by three. Suspensions or no suspensions, the game is going to be tough. "You can find out a lot about teams when they've gone through adversity." Self said. "And obviously, Missouri's risen to the occasion."

It was undefeated in conference and one game ahead of Kansas after breaking "The Streak" in Manhattan with an amazing display of willpower. I'm sure that in the back of many KU minds was, "What if the Wildcats really are that good? They could win the big 12." The thought had at least crossed my mind. BY TRAVIS ROBINETT TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM Admit it. You were cheering for Missouri on Saturday when the Tigers played Kansas State. It's OK. I let my guard down, too, and was eager to see every Missouri basket during its 14-point comeback in the second half.

They battled through some adversity. Give their players Does it mean Missouri is better than Kansas State? No. Just as when Kansas State defeated Kansas on Wednesday, it didn't mean the Wildcats were better than the Jayhawks. ASSOCIATED PRESS The victory for the Tigers was even more remarkable considering that three players remained indefinitely suspended, and leading scorer Stefhon Hannah was injured with a broken jaw. Who knew they could pull it off? Well, anyone who knows much about college hoops. It really is much tougher to play on the road. Even if a team is outmatched, the home side at least has a decent possibility to win. "They protected their home court, which is what you have to do be a good basketball team."

Martin said. "You want to play Missouri on the road, you better not turn the basketball over. We turned it over. We had I think either 10 or 11 turnovers in the second half. We do that on offense and then just don't defend, we've got no chance to win." And maybe, just maybe, it had something to do with the 12,000-plus fans screaming their lungs out for Missouri. It has to be easier to make up for a stupid turnover when the home crowd is behind you and harder to do so when you feel the crowd's adversity all game. some credit. They stuck together, they dealt with it and then they came out today and played like the team they're capable of." Missouri's Keon Lawrence celebrates in the crowd after it defeated Kansas State 77-74 Saturday in Columbia, Mo. Missouri had an unusual amount of Kansas support for the victory, which knocked K State down to a 5-1 Big 12 record, while Kansas's victory against Colorado moved the Jayhawks to 6-1 and back to the top of the conference standings after a brief stint in second place following a loss to the Wildcats Wednesday. So the next time you hear about an "upset" on the road, don't put too much stock into it. After browsing through the KUsporns.com message boards, I liked the way user WaHawk04 sarcastically put it: "After today's game, I think it is obvious that Missouri is a better basketball team than KSU.

"It's a matter of us just gelling now and putting it together" added Bryant, who urged management to improve the team during the summer. "We've got a great bench. We have a lot of length, of versatility. Now it's time to walk the walk." The Lakers gave up Kwame Brown, rookie lavaris Crittenton and two first-round draft picks for Gasol. The Spaniard is certain to help a Lakers team reeling from recent injuries to inside players, including blossoming center Andrew Bynum. "We need a little scoring inside without Andrew Bynum," coach Phil Jackson said. "It gives us a post-up threat right now, and he's a good passer. We like that." Jackson said Gasol could make his debut when the Lakers visit Washington on Sunday. "Wed like him to play on Sunday," Jackson said. "I don't know if that's possible or not. He's got to go back to L.A. and have a physical tomorrow." Gasol, who averages 18.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.44 blocked shots in 39 games this season, can fill in at center until Bynum returns in mid-March, then move to power forward. "He's a great player," forward Lamar Odom said. "With him and Andrew down there, I'm really excited to see how that works out. We'll protect the basket a little bit more. I'm looking forward to seeing those guys playing together." The Grizzlies will get the Lakers' first-round draft choices in 2008 and 2010; guard Aaron McKie, signed earlier Friday for salary cap purposes; cash considerations; and the rights to Gaso's brother Marc, a 2007 second-round pick of Los Angeles. "We're extremely pleased to be able to make this trade," general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a statement. "Pau is a proven player of All-Star caliber in this league who can score and rebound and is still a young player. We feel this strengthens our team in the short term as well as the long term." Gasol, the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2002 and an All-Star four years later, has averaged 18.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 476 career games with Memphis. The 27-year-old forward-center, under contract for three more years, is the franchise leader in 12 statistical categories, including points, rebounds and blocks. "That's something you havent seen before," Jackson said with a chuckle. The Lakers also receive the Grizzlies' second-round pick in 2010. "I've played with him in several All-Star games," Bryant said. "He's extremely versatile, he has a high basketball IQ. He can pass, shoot, has length, can catch and finish. He's extremely talented. "I have to take my hat off to (owner jerry) Buss and Mitch for going forward with this," Bryant said. "Now it's up to us to go out there and work hard." Odom said he feels "the sky is the limit" for the new-look Lakers. The Lakers were one of the NBA's best teams before the 20-year-old Bynum injured his left knee Jan. 13 against Memphis, coincidentally. Los Angeles had a 28-16 record entering Friday night's game at Toronto but had lost five of eight since Bynum was injured. "We felt like we could compete for a championship with the team we had," Odom said. "With this addition, hopefully that dream comes true."

The Cyclone lead didn't grow because the Jayhawks didn't turn the ball over in the final seven minutes and they kept the Cyclones off the free throw line. "We were more disciplined to keep our hands off of people," Henrickson said of Kansas not fouling Iowa St. The game stayed tight down the stretch, and with 57 seconds left junior guard Ivana Catic hit a 17-foot jumper to put Kansas up 51-47. Iowa St. took a timeout and came out with a set play for Lacey, who drilled a three-pointer to draw the margin back to 51-50. On the Jayhawks possession, Boogaard received a pass on the baseline, used a sweet shot fake and dribbed right to the basket and laid it in with 24 ticks left on the clock. "It was very exciting," Boogaard said. "I saw her go up and I just went around her and went up." Sophomore guards Sade Morris and McCray were there on the defensive end to take the ball away and give Kansas its second conference victory. "What's fun," Henrickson said, "is a lot of kids stepped up and had a part in the (win)." Kansas has a full week before its next game, a road trip to Kansas St. on Feb. 9.

KU beat Iowa State 53-10. Freshman's talent showcased Center Krysten Boogaard contributes to second Big 12 victory BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com Coach Bonnie Henrickson knew how important it would be to be to freshman center Krysten Boogaard the ball. the one against injury-depleted Iowa State. The challenge was drilling that concept into the minds of her team. To make her point, Henrickson said she began kicking players off the court for "She was probably the biggest difference in the game because she can just take over on the block." ignoring the talented 6-foot-5 freshman in the post. "Obviously, Krysten Boogaard was really good," Cyclones coach Bill Fennelly said. "She was probably the Saturday night against Iowa State. Kansas responded by pounding the ball into the post. In the process, Boogaard scored 11 of the Jayhawks' first 13 points to stake the home team to a 13-7 advantage. the key to Kansas' 53-50 victory. Her performance left those on both sides impressed with her ability to score and defend in the post. "If they didn't throw it to her, I would kick the guards off," Henrickson said. "There weren't many people left on the floor with her one day in practice." Though the score would swing back and forth, Boogaard's 20 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks were BILL FENNELLY Iowa State coach biggest difference in the game because she can just take over on the block." The efficiency with which Boogaard picked apart Iowa state's defense was astounding. The Regina, Saskatchewan native made eight of 10 shots and was 4-7 from the free-throw line. The offensive explosion wasn't all that surprising considering Boogaard's recent form. In the last five games, she has averaged 11.6 points, seven rebounds and 2.6 blocks, even including a two-point, one rebound performance against Colorado. Boogaard said she was beginning to feel comfortable in Kansas' offensive sets. Although she committed a team-high six turnovers, most the result of Cyclone double-teams, she showed the ability to score on the offensive glass and with a variety of post moves. The most crucial bucket came with the Jayhawks clinging to a 51-50 lead with 42 seconds remaining. The freshman center found herself with the ball on the baseline and an opportunity to stretch the lead to three. After drawing her defender in the air with a well-timed pump fake, Boogaard took a power dribble and scored high off the glass to seal the victory "I try to vary my moves." Boogaard said. "I try not to be scoutable." Despite recording only their second victory in eight Big 12 contests, Henrickson said her team had reason to be Kansas schedule won't get any easier for the remaining eight games of conference play. Two matchups, No.18 Kansas State and a visit from Texas loom large on the horizon. Boogaard said it was important to finish the first half of conference season on a high note. "We are going to try to make a run in February, try and play better and grow," Henrickson said. "Absolutely, it's huge." "We definitely needed this win," Boogaard said. "It's going to give us big momentum going into the optimistic going into the second half of conference play. With the emergence of Boogaard, the Jayhawks add an inside presence to complement the perimeter scoring of sophomore guards Danielle McCray and Sade Morris. "We definitely needed this win. It's going to give us big momentum going into the Kansas State game, so it's really good for us." KRYSTEN BOOGAARD Freshman center Kansas State game so it's realy good so it use" M c C r a y agreed though she has struggled to find open shots against conference opponents, McCray said Boogaards growth will help her find more opportunities in "It feels good to get that confidence back and knowing that we are still alive and have a heartbeat," McCray said. But most of all, McCray said it felt good to finally meet another victory. transition and on the perimeter. —Edited by Sasha Roe PGA Woods wins golf classic, advances to 2-0 record ASSOCIATED PRESS DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Tiger Woods watched his 25-foot putt race down the slope and bend toward the cup, then he skipped backward and punched the desert air in celebration when it disappeared into the cup for a final birdie. So ended his spectacular charge Sunday to win the Dubai Desert Classic over Ernie Els, a familiar victim. Woods birdied his last two holes, and five of his last seven, for a 7-under 65 to start his season with two victories that looked nothing alike. One week was an eight-shot victory at the Buick "It's the ideal start, isn't it? You play to win. So far, I've done that this year." Invitational. The next week was his largest comeback in eight years when Woods rallied from a four-shot deficit with an array of impressive shots that make him look tougher to beat than he already is. This was the perfect occasion, and he let it slip away in familiar fashion. Two years ago at Dubai, Woods birdied the last two holes to force a playoff against Els, then "I'm just happy to get a win out of this." Woods said. TIGER WOODS Professional golfer "It's the ideal start, isn't it?" Woods said. "You play to win. So far, I've done that this year." It was the third time Woods has started his season 2-0, another sign that he could be headed for a big year. He now has won his last four official tournaments, and six of his last seven dating to the Bridgestone Invitational in early August. Woods also won his unofficial Target World Challenge by seven shots in December. It was a devastating blow to Els, who stared at the ground as he walked toward the 18th green. He is in the middle of a three-year plan to overtake Woods at No. 1 in the world, and said at the start of his season that he needed to start winning. Woods finished at 14-under 274 for a one-shot victory over Martin Kaymer of Germany. Woods had already posted his score when Kaymer, who won two weeks ago in Abu Dhabi, closed birdie-birdie-eagle for a 66. But the real victim was Els. He started the final round with a one-shot lead over Henrik Stenson and was four shots clear of Woods. The 38-year-old South African missed par puts inside 5 feet on the 11th and 12th holes to lose the lead, but he still had a chance to force a playoff with a birdie on the par-5 18th. Instead, Els hit 5-wood that came up well short and ended up in the water. He finished with a bogey for a 71 and tied for third with Louis Oosthuizen. beat him when the South African hit his second shot into the water on No.18. This one never had a chance. "The second shot on the 18, it was right where I had it, but I could see the gust got it in the air and it didn't have much of a chance in the end there." Els said. Reaching No. 1 now looks like a lost cause. Woods has more than double the points over second-ranked Phil Mickelson, and when asked about the gap over Mickelson, Woods playfully said, "I thought Ian Poulter was No. 2?" That was a reference to Pouler being quoted in a British magazine that he was the only one capable of challenging the world's No. 1 player. Poulter closed with a 76 on Sunday and tied for 39th. It was the largest comeback for Woods since he made up a five-shot deficit at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in 2000, a final round that included holing out from the 15th fairway. This was almost as impressive. Woods lost momentum with bogeys on the sixth and ninth holes, but he poured it on along the back nine with six birdies to win Dubai for the second time. "All of sudden I was in the mix, out of the wood," Woods said. It started with a chip-in for birdie from a thick lie in the rough. Then came a tough flop shot from a tight lie, a bunker between Woods and the hole, that he caught perfectly to about 5 feet for birdie on the 13th. "I thought I had to shoot 30 to get into a playoff", said Woods, who shot 31 on the back nine. "It just happened to be good enough."

The Jayhawks toughed it out against Colorado and played well in the second half, but Kansas really should have won that game much easier. Missouri will be tough, but without three key players, the Jayhawks should win by a large margin. A major victory would likely give Kansas back the strut it displayed before the Kansas State game. WHO TO WATCH You might have already forgotten that Kaun had a solid 12 points Sasha Kaun Kaun against the Buffalooes on Saturday. He's been playing much better since Self moved him to the bench in December. Kaun will likely go against DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons tonight, both of whom are good post players. He'll help the team most if he can rebound the ball well. Will this free throw shooting streak continue? QUESTION MARK The Jayhawks have been great from the charity stripe the past two games. They made 21 of 25 against Colorado and at one point hit eight in a row against K-State. Self always says there's no specific reason for a good run of free throw shooting, especially a coaching reason. "We tell them to make the shots,"Self said jokingly.

SUNIL KHAN PETER MCGARRALD ★★★☆ Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard this Rush didn't fade in the second half on Saturday, scoring eight. He should be a major mismatch if Matt Lawrence guards him.

PETER HARRIS Mark Dent ★★★☆☆ PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... - Rustin Dodd Kansas gets off to another slow start. The Jayhawks did against K-State and Colorado, and they of course lost the game to the Wildcats. Bill Self has the superior team in this game, especially with the suspensions for Missouri. This can be a statement victory for Kansas if it plays well early and pressures the Tigers on defense. MU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Missouri keeps garnering more attention for its off-the-court trouble than its play on the court. In the latest incident, senior guard Stefhan Hannah suffered a fractured jaw during a Jan. 26 incident at a Columbia, Mo., bar. Four other players – junior Leo Lyons, senior Marshall Brown, senior Jason Horton, senior Darryl Butterfield – were also involved in the incident. Hannah is out indefinitely, and Missouri coach Mike Anderson suspended the other four players for last Wednesday's 66-62 loss against Nebraska. Lyons and Brown returned for Saturday's 77-74 victory against K-State, but Horton, who was arrested for misdemeanor assault on Friday for his part in the incident, and Butterfield remained sidelined. Despite the distractions, the Tigers' victory against K-State improved them to 13-9 overall and 3-4 in the Big 12. WHOTOWATCH J.T. Tiller Tiller led Missouri with a career-high 20 points in its 77-74 upset of K-State. Which begs the question: just who is J.T. Tiller? The 6-foot-3 sophomore guard from Marietta, Ga., was averaging 6.6 points per game during the first 20 games of game during the first 20 games of the season. But after Hannah went out with a broken jaw and Horton was suspended, Tiller has averaged 17 points in the last two names. Tiller Tiller's not a total surprise. *Rivals*, cam named Tiller the 37th best high school guard in the country during his senior season. Who will play for Missouri? QUESTION MARK During Missouri's loss to Nebraska on Wednesday, a student held up a sign that read: "Can I play?" If Missouri would have lost a few more players, they might have needed him. Lyons and Marshall were back on Saturday and Lyons contributed 13 points. After the game, Anderson told reporters that Horton and Butterfield would be game-time decisions on Monday. Anderson may have little reason to insert Horton and Butterfield. Missouri has played inspired in the two games while playing without Hannah, Horton and Butterfield. HEARYE. HEARYE "Sometimes adversity can in some kind of way have a positive affect on a team. Our kids, they're fighting hard, they're fighting together."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4. 2008 SPORTS SUPER BOWL 9B Manning leads Giants over Patriots Manning, Giants pull dramatic come-from-behind win with 35 seconds to deny New England, end streak ny CHAMPIONS New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin kisses the Vince Lombardi Trophy after the Giants beat the New England Patriots 17-14 in Super Bowl XLII yesterday in Glendale. Ariz. BY EDDIE PELLS ASSOCIATED PRESS GLENDALE, Ariz. — Oh well, nobody's perfect. Except maybe Eli Manning. A masterful magician when the stakes were highest, Manning engineered one of the best drives in Super Bowl history Sunday to help the New York Giants squash the New England Patriots' run at history-making perfection with a 17-14 victory. In a game, and a finish, that showed precisely how the Super Bowl has become America's favorite spectacle, Manning led the Giants 83 yards in just more than two minutes. He capped it with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left, to win what easily could go down as the best Super Bowl ever. ASSOCIATED PRESS "The greatest victory in the history of this franchise, without a question," said owner John Mara. It was a scintillating closing chapter to a crazy week that seemed to have everything; the perfect team; the upstart underdogs; the cover boy quarterback; the kid brother in Manning. The star was Manning, the scruffy younger brother of Peyton, who won his own Super Bowl last year. America loves an underdog, and the Giants, with their stirring victory, etched themselves as one of the best this game — or any sport — has ever seen. Now both Mannings have a championship and Tom Brady — well, he's still got the looks, the supermodel girlfriend, Giselle Bundchen, and three Super Bowl titles of his own, even though he didn't come out on top this time. It means New England finishes 18-1 and the 1972 Miami Dolphins remain the only team to go undefeated from the start of the season through the Sucker Bowl. Their coach, Don Shula, was on hand, ready to congratulate the Patriots had they finished 19-0. Instead, he figured to be sipping champagne, continuing a tradition the Dolphins have enjoyed every year when the last undefeated team finally gets its first loss. They remain alone thanks to Manning, whose 13-yard game-winner came four plays after he somehow escaped a cadre of Patriots engulfing him, threw the ball up for grabs and watched receiver David Tyree somehow pin it between his hands and his helmet for the 32-yard reception. That kept the drive going, and it will be Manning's mastery that everyone remembers — not the coolly efficient 80-yard touchdown drive that Brady had completed only moments earlier. This game was such a back-and-forth stomach-turner that it seems a sure bet to beat the record for Super Bowl viewership (94.08 million) and give the advertisers their money's worth on the $2.7 million they spent for each 30-second spot. It might even force the water- cooler conversation Monday to be about football, not commercials or halftime shows. For the record, Tom Petty did a four-song halftime set, closing, appropriately, with "Runnin' Down A Dream." Some highlights on the commercial side included Shaq as a winning jockey in a big horse race, Richard Simmons barely avoiding being squished on the highway and Will Ferrell playing a — well — notso-fit pro basketball player who also likes beer. Funny as those were, the best show was really on the field. It was a tight, taut defensive battle for three-plus quarters — yet anything but boring. Then it was taken over by two quarterbacks — one already a star, the other yearning to escape the shadow his big brother has cast over the family, and the sport, for many years now. Eli said it was flattering being compared to his older brother Peyton because "he's at the top of his game, and I'm still trying to get my game up to his level." He's there now, capping a fourweek stretch of nearly flawless playoff football during which the Giants were underdogs in every game they played, but won them all. 17 ASSOCIATED PRESS New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burrell (17) fails to catch a pass in the end zone while under pressure from New England Patriots defenders Ellis Hobbs III, right, Brandon Meriweather, (31) and Asante Samuel in the third quarter during Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium yesterday in Glendale, Ariz. COMMERCIALS Super Bowl results in super expensive, crazy ads NEW YORK — It's often called the "game within the game" — the ads that do battle with each other for viewers' attention during the Super Bowl. There, the great brands go head to head: Coke and Pepsi; GM and Audi: Hershey and Planters. Here, then, is one account of how game night went for the major marketers, who ponied up as much as $2.7 million each for a 30-second shot at reaching the gargantuan television audience provided by the Super Bowl, which topped 93 million viewers last year.

In a replay of a vintage scene from "The Godfather," an older man wakes up in his luxurious bed and senses something amiss.

Nearly three days after Kansas State knocked Kansas from the top of the Big 12 rankings on Wednesday, the lajahawks are back in first place — thanks to a little help from the Missouri Tigers. While Kansas was struggling to put away a plucky Colorado team during the first half on Saturday, Missouri was 700 miles away in Columbia, Mo., finishing up a come-from-behind upset victory against K-State. The loss ruined the Wildcats unblemished league record and dropped them to 5-1 in the Big 12. Minutes after Missouri's upset was complete, the final score was announced over the speakers at the Coors Events Center back in Boulder, Colo. Missouri 77, Kansas State 74. The 4,000 or so laj Hawk fans in attendance responded with a raucous applause, while junior guard Mario Chalmers smiled, clapped and huddled with junior guard Brandon Rush. "Let's just turn it up." Rush recalled saying to Chalimers, "so we can get this win and keep it even." Kansas did more than that. With its 72-59 victory against Colorado, Kansas improved to 6-1 in the Big 12, and regained sole possession of first place. The victory put the Jayhawks percentage points ahead of the 5-1 Wildcats. Big 12 Standings Team Big 12 Overall Kansas 6-1 21-1 Kansas State 5-1 15-5 Texas 4-2 17-4 Baylor 4-2 16-4 Texas A&M 4-3 18-4 Oklahoma 3-3 15-6 Texas Tech 3-3 12-8 Iowa State 3-4 13-9 Missouri 3-4 13-9 Nebraska 2-4 13-6 Oklahoma State 1-6 10-11 Colorado 1-6 9-12 Not every Jayhawk immediately heard the news. In fact, sophomore guard Sherron Collins was confused. Were Kansas fans really cheering for a Missouri victory? "I didn't really hear during the game," Collins said after Saturday's game. "The crowd started cheering. I thought they said K-State beat Missouri." Bill Self made sure his team knew that Missouri beat K-State at halftime. With Kansas and Colorado tied at 30, the Jayhawks looked like they were still worn out from the K-State game on Wednesday and feeling the effects of the Colorado altitude "I told the guys at half time that K-State got beat," Seld said. "That may have put a little pup in their step." No doubt, Kansas played inspired in the second half, outscoring Colorado 42-29 after intermission. "In the back of their minds they probably thought, we caught a break, now we need to make something of it," Self said. Self, who's trying to win his fourth consecutive regular season Big 12 title, stood outside the Kansas locker room in the Coors Events Center and tried to make sense of the muddied Big 12 standings. "If I'm not mistaken we've got two teams with one loss, and several with two." Self said. Almost. Kansas and K-State sit in first and second with one loss each, while Texas and Baylor are the only two loss teams in the conference following Texas' 80-72 victory against Baylor in Austin, Texas on Saturday. Texas A&M and Oklahoma are both 3-3 after the Aggies beat the Sooners Saturday in College Station, Texas. "It's going to be interesting" Self said. For one day at least, Kansas celebrated a Missouri victory, and Self and the Jayhawks accepted the Tiger's Big 12 gift - even if they had to do it begrudgingly. "I told our guys that I'm happy Missouri won," Self said. "But you don't want to feel to good about those guys, they're probably our most hated rival."

But on Saturday, Kansas Republicans will caucus for the first time since 1988. Christian Morgan, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, said in the past, elected officials decided which candidate the Kansas Republican Party would pledge its delegates to. Morgan said Kansas has not historically been a caucus state, but that the Kansas Republican Party is making proactive measures to increase Republican activity throughout the state. "I can't tell you why Iowa and New Hampshire have been, but I can tell you why Kansas hasn't been," Morgan said. "There has always been talk about how Kansas Republicans are not united and they are always fighting, but this is a common goal Republicans have and it is just focused on making Kansas relevant when picking the next president of the United States." Mark Joslyn, associate professor of political science, said he expects a large turnout on Saturday. He said turnout at Republican primaries and caucuses across the nation have increased because it is a competitive race and there is no incumbent. Joslin predicted that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., would sweep this evenings' caucuses. He said if that did happen, Kansas would not receive any national attention. If the vote is fairly even, Joslyn said Kansas' caucus could be influential. "It's hard for me to see national attention like Nevada or South Carolina got, but they'll get more attention then they would usually get," loslyn said. Morgan said the Kansas Republican Party decided to hold a caucus this year to build and unite the party. He said the party decided to hold the caucus after Super Tuesday in a conscious effort to put Kansas' caucus in the national spotlight. Only two other states, Washington and Louisiana, will hold their Republican caucuses on Saturday. Morgan acknowledged the possibility that McCain could win a majority of the delegates up for grabs in tonight's caucuses. But Morgan said even if that did occur, it would be statistically impossible for McCain to have already won enough delegates to win the Republican nomination. "From what it looks like, Sen. McCain, Gov. Huckabee and Gov. Romney will be making their way through Super Tuesday Joslyn said if the race was still close after this evening, the likelihood of the candidates visiting the Kansas City area would increase. He also said he expected Kansas Republicans to support McCain because he is the front-runner. neck and neck," Morgan said. "We will probably continue to see that kind of activity going into our caucus and the spotlight is going to be on us for about four days." The Democratic caucus that was supposed to be held at Liberty Hall this evening has been moved to the Douglas County Fairgrounds' Community Building, 1930 Harper St. Jennifer Davidson, communications director for the Kansas Democratic Party, said the caucus was moved because the party thought Liberty Hall would not have been large enough. Voters who live west of Iowa Street and south of Sixth Street will caucus at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Voters who live east of Iowa Street and south of Sixth Street will caucus at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. Voters who live north of Sixth Street will caucus at the National Guard's Metcalf Memorial Armory, 200 Iowa St. Voters are encouraged to arrive at the caucuses by 6 p.m. The caucuses will begin at 7 p.m. Caucus relocated Jesse Vaughn, president of KU College Republicans, said his organization would attend the caucus as a group, but that the He said the group has been involved in local campaigns, but it did not usually get involved in national campaigns until the fall semester during an election year. organization had not yet planned any other events.

Megan Greene History Department BY ABBY OLCESE aolcese@kansan.com Why did you choose to study Asia in college? People always ask me that. I like to answer that when I was growing up, I really liked Chinese food. I know that sounds silly, but I really think there's something to that. I was always interested in anything Chinese as a kid, and luckily for me, I had some really good teachers that made me want to study it more. What do you like about teaching? I enjoy the subject, so I enjoy teaching it. I also think relatively few students come in knowing much about East Asian history. It's not something like American History where people have been learning it for so long that they know a lot about it already. It gives me the chance to open students' eyes and stimulate interest. How long have you been teaching at the University of Kansas? The title is "Origins of the Developing State in Taiwan." Harvard Press is releasing it in the spring. Taiwan. What is the title, and when will it be released? This is my sixth year here. I had actually never been to Kansas before I interviewed for the position. I was lucky, because I got one of the best available jobs. I had taught at Gettyburg College in Pennsylvania and I had a postdoctorate fellowship at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. I was there for three years. It was great to live in London, although I was poor. Everyone at the school studied Asia and Africa, so it was great to be in a place where all the students were interested in the subject. Where else did you teach before coming here? You're writing a book on the history of industrial science policy in Iris Murray How did you decide on the subject for your book? Part of it was that there were lots of resources available. When I moved into this project, I actually started with a different topic in mind. But, I found lots of sources on this [current] subject. It's going to be interesting to people who study Taiwan, since they tend to be interested in economics and political development. Have you written any other books? I co-edited a volume of essays from scholars about Taiwan's 21st century development model. I had not done anything like that before, and there were about 12 or 13 papers to go through. When you work with that many people, it takes a long time. It took a while to find a press to publish the book. —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina ODD NEWS Clowns gather for an unorthodox memorial LONDON — The men and women in white face-paint and polka-dot bow-ties sang hymns and said prayers as one of their number rode a unicycle down the aisle of an austere east London church. Brilliantly colored wigs, parasols and minuscule hats filled the nave of Holy Trinity Church at the annual service in honor of Joseph Grimaldi, known to many as the father of modern clowning. Roly Bain, the clowns' chaplain, blew bubbles from the pulpit at the service, which also honored clowns who have died in the past year. The Rev. Rose Hudson-Wilkin, a vicar at the church who helped organize the event, said the clowns had a religious role to play. "In the Bible, in the New Testament, it talks about us being fools for Christ and in a sense they clown around, they fool around, and they try to help people see the lighter side of life." Hudson-Wilkin said. Grimald was born in the late 18th century, and began performing publicly at age 3. A skilled mime, acrobat, magician and a consummate physical performer, he popularized many of clowning's trademark tricks, including thriving long strings of sausages.

CAMPUS BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE E-mail service expands inboxes The increase occurred on Jan. 2. Myers also said the faculty and February 6 Danforth- 11:30am, 12:30pm,4:30pm ECM-6:00pm Imposition of Ashes staff have had 500 megabyte capacity mailboxes for a while. Because most students do not use their University account as their primary one, demand was not as high for a larger mailbox, Myers said. The gradual increase helps Information Services gauge the rate of usage and helps them decide if they need to increase it even more in the future, Myers said. A further increase to 500 megabytes is planned for March. Last fall, the University spent $400,000 on upgrading the e-mail service. "The increase in storage for students enables us to accommodate an increase in demand, should that come about," Myers said in an e-mail. Increased storage was the improvement most noticeable to users, Myers said. She said she spent a few days last semester trying to figure out why her inbox was full. Ralls said she likes the extra space and the larger increase in March may or may not be necessary. The upgrade included an improvement of hardware and software. The faculty and staff have consistently needed more space than students. Myers said. Someone had sent her a few pictures that she didn't want to delete "I'm doing well with the amount now." Ralls said. Kaitlin Nicholson, Lenea sophomore, hasn't really thought about it, but is happy she doesn't have to delete every e-mail she gets. Students like the new capacity. Elizabeth Ralls, Mission Hills sophomore, said the larger capacity was very convenient. "I guess it's more convenient." Nicholson said.

Half of domestic Cabinet departments would see their budgets cut outright. Bush's proposed budget may reach record deficit WASHINGTON — The record $3.1 trillion budget proposed by President Bush on Monday would produce eye-popping federal deficits, despite his attempts to impose politically wrenching curbs on Medicare and eliminate scores of popular domestic programs. Associated Press billion this year and $407 billion in 2009, the White House says, just shy of the record $413 billion set four years ago. The president forecasts a $48 billion surplus by 2012, keeping a promise he made two years ago when strong revenue predictions made it look far easier. Now, he's relying on spending cuts — for everything from transportation to Medicare and Medicaid to nonprofit groups that help the poor — to do the job in order to keep his signature 2001 and 2003 tax cuts intact instead of expiring at the end of 2010. "Our formula for achieving a balanced budget is simple: create the conditions for economic growth, keep taxes low and spend taxpayer dollars wisely or not at all." Bush said in his budget message.

John Spratt, D-S.C., right, accompanied by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., takes part in a briefing Monday in Washington to discuss President Bush's proposed fiscal 2009 Federal Budget. The budget, which was released Monday, allocated money to build another prison in Leavenworth. Prison proposed for Leavenworth ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Bush's $3.1 trillion budget proposal includes money to evaluate Leavenworth as the likely site for a new Midwestern prison, Sen. Sam Brownback said Monday. The budget plan directs the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to spend about $1.4 million to study construction of the new prison facility in Leavenworth. Brownback, R-Kan., and Leavenworth officials have been pushing the agency to build a new maximum security prison near the city's current facility, which was converted to a medium security prison in 2005. The site also contains an adjacent minimum-security federal prison camp. The Bureau of Prisons had previously indicated that Leavenworth was among several sites in the Midwest region being considered for a new prison, but the president's budget proposal offers the first public confirmation that the agency has settled on a single site. "The Leavenworth community is Willing and able to house a new federal prison facility." Brownback said, "The city of Leavenworth for a long time has been prepared to work with the Prison Bureau to build and operate a new prison."

Sun Kissed Tanning 2540 Iowa • 785-842-5096 The budget directive does not specify what type of prison might be constructed. A spokeswoman for the Bureau of Prisons could not immediately comment on how long the evaluation might take. Local officials have long encouraged the development of another prison to give the city an economic boost. About 1,900 medium- and minimum-security inmates are currently housed at Leavenworth. A new prison could provide 300 to 350 new jobs in the community. Charlie Gregor, executive vice president of the Leavenworth-Lansing Area Chamber of Commerce, called Monday's news a positive development in the city's quest to land a new prison. "Those are good-paying jobs, the kind of jobs that people stay in and retire from." Gregor said. One reason locating the new prison in Leavenworth makes the best economic science, Gregor said, is because the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice already own land near Fort Leavenworth. "If you own the land and you have two functioning facilities on it already, that means the infrastructure is already there," Gregor said. "You would have one warden and one staff overseeing three facilities rather than two, so you have economies of scale." Bureau of Prisons director Harley Lappin toured Leavenworth with Brownback last year and met with Brownback's staff to discuss the possibility of locating a new prison in Kansas.

In northern Iraq, Turkish warplanes on Monday bombed some 70 Kurdish rebel targets, the Turkish military said. It was the fifth aerial attack against Kurdish rebel bases there in two months. An Iraqi police officer secures the area after their convoy was hit by a roadside bomb in central Bara, ira, on Monday. Four police officers and one civilian were hurt in the blast, police said. Also Monday, 15 suspected militants were killed in U.S. raids targeting a possible hideout for a senior al-Qaida in Iraq leader northeast of Baghdad, the military said. Evans did not say exactly how the civilians died, but said the killings occurred as U.S. forces pursued suspected al-Qaida in Iraq militants. The incident is under investigation, he said. Iraiq police said the victims, including two women, were in two houses in the village of Tal al-Samar, which was bombed by American warplanes late Saturday. They were all Sunnis, an officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. The Iraqi civilians were killed Saturday near Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of the Iraqi capital, Navy Lt. Patrick Evans told The Associated Press. "We offer our condolences to the families of those who were killed in this incident, and we mourn the loss of innocent civilian life," Evans said in a statement e-mailed to the AP. The U.S. planes struck after an American convoy came under enemy fire in Tal al-Samar and soldiers called for air support, the Iraqi officer said. Since Dec. 16, the Turkish military has confirmed five cross-border aerial raids into Iraq, though Iraqi Kurdish officials have reported other airstrikes. Turkey's military says the raids have killed as many as The Turkish bombings early Monday hit the Avasin-Basyan and Hakurk regions of northern Iraq, the Turkish military said on its Web site. Turkey has frequently targeted members of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, in cross-border raids into Iraq, where thousands of the rebels are based. The PKK has been fighting for autonomy in southeastern Turkey for more than two decades. 175 PKK rebels Adem Uzun, a member of the rebel command, said 15 to 20 Turkish jets bombed rebel areas in northern Iraq, according to Fiat, a Kurdish news agency. Uzun told a Denmark-based Kurdish television station that the rebels had not suffered casualties, the agency reported. The United States — which like Turkey and the European Union considers the PKK a terrorist organization — has cautioned Ankara against a large incursion into Kurdish areas of northern Iraq, fearing it could disrupt one of Iraq's more stable regions. U. S. and Iraqi officials said Monday they will meet later this month to negotiate future relations and the long-term presence of American forces in Iraq. The U.S. currently has about 160,000 troops in Iraq under a United Nations mandate that has been extended on a yearly basis since the 2003 invasion, but Iraqi officials have said they will not renew it after 2008. Separately, 14 al-Qaida linked militants were detained in other raids Sunday and Monday in northern Iraq, including four In the raids targeting a possible al-Qaida in Iraq hideout northeast of Baghdad, the military said it had no information about whether the targeted leader was among those killed or captured. Eight suspected militants were detained in the raids. suspects seized during an operation targeting the leader of a suicide bombing cell in the volatile city of Mosul. Iraiqi police said at least five Iraqis died in separate attacks elsewhere, including a Foreign Ministry attache, Waleed Haitham, when gunmen opened fire on his car in the western Baghdad neighborhood of Mansour. Two policemen were also killed when a roadside bomb exploded on their patrol in northeast Baghdad's Azamiyah area. And gunmen opened fire on a bus east of Baquba, killing two passengers, police said. An al-Qaida front group said in a statement posted on the Web that it was launching its own campaign in Mosul, and urged volunteers to carry out suicide attacks on U.S. troops, Iraqi Shiites and Kurdish troops. The Sunni militant group, known as Mosul's regional command of the Islamic State of Iraq, said its campaign would be a "vengeance raid" but gave no details. Iraki officials have said a military push to clear al-Qaida-linked insurgents from Mosul is imminent. Also Monday, criticism mounted among some Sunni lawmakers over a new law that will allow thousands of Saddam Hussein-era officials to return to government jobs. EAT TUESDAY!

Mitt Romney made a late, possibly last appeal to conservatives to derail Republican front-runner John McCain on the busiest day in primary history. Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., coughs as she conducts a roundtable discussion Monday at the Yale Child Study Center in New Haven, Conn. Generally a stalwart campaigner, Clinton showed signs of strain during the roundtable at one point coughing uncontrollably. "It comes and goes," she said, wiping her eye and sipping water to get her cough under control. "We're going to hand the liberals in our party a little surprise," boasted Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, predicting he would score an upset in delegate-rich California. McCain projected confidence Monday, not only about wrapping up the nomination but about next November's general election as well. "I can lead this nation and motivate all Americans to serve a cause greater than their self-interest," he said while campaigning at a fire station in New Jersey. Unwilling to leave anything to chance, both men hastily rearranged their schedules to make one more late stop in California, the largest state, with 170 delegates. ASSOCIATED PRESS After months on the road, the wear on the candidates was showing, and the schedules strained human endurance. Clinton's voice was raspy, and at one stop, she struggled to control her coughing. Ronney had Tennessee, was in Georgia at lunchtime, was touching down in Oklahoma at the dinner hour and was scheduled to arrive in California for a rally just before midnight local time. breakfast in All before flying through the night so he could attend the West Virginia state convention on Tuesday morning. In all, there are 1,023 delegates to the Republican National Convention at stake in primaries in 15 states, caucuses in five and the West Virginia state convention. The Democrats were spending unprecedented amounts of money on television advertising. Records showed Obama and Clinton each spent $1.3 million last Wednesday and have been increasing their purchases in the days since. Several award all their delegates to the winner, and McCain was favored in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware and his home state of Arizona, with 251 delegates combined. Obama spent about $250,000 to run a 30-second ad during the Super Bowl in selected, less expensive regions. Clinton bought one hour of time on the Hallmark Channel for Monday evening to air a live town hall meeting from New York. Romney hoped to counter with victories in Utah and West Virginia, as well as in a string of caucuses in Western and Midwestern states. The prize in each race was a huge cache of delegates on the biggest primary-season day ever. i can lead this nation and motivate all Americans to serve a cause greater than their self- interest." But his task in several Southern and border states — Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and Missouri — is complicated by the presence of Mike Huckabee on the ballot. The former Arkansas governor was in Tennessee, where he said that Wal-Mart Republicans knew long before Wall Street that the economy was headed for trouble. "They were paying more for their fuel and more for their health care and their kids' education, but their paychecks weren't going up enough to cover all those things that were costing more," he said. In sheer numbers, Democrats have more at stake than Republicans — 15 primaries, and caucuses in seven states plus American Samoa, and 1,681 delegates. They also lack a clear front-runner in the historic race between Clinton, who is trying to become the first woman to sit in the White JOHN MCCAIN Arizona Senator House, and Obama, seeking to become the first black commander in chief. The Northeast was their battleground for the day, an arc of states stretching from New Jersey and New York to Connecticut and Massachusetts. Apart from Clinton's home state of New York, the polls told a similar story in each — and in Missouri and California — with the former first lady trying to hold off Obama's late rush. Obama's campaign was eager to claim the underdog's role. "Senator Clinton is certainly the favorite on Feb. 5, given the huge leads she has held in many of these contests throughout the course of the campaign and the political, historical and geographic advantages she enjoys in many of these states," Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, wrote in a memo to reporters. In a conference call with reporters, Clinton strategists Howard Wolfson and Mark Penn predicted the former first lady would emerge from Super Tuesday with more delegates than Obama. But they agreed the race is far from over. "Many of us will be making our reservations for Clinton's first stop Monday was in New Haven, where she graduated Texas and Ohio and perhaps Pennsylvania and beyond that," Wolfson said, speaking of contests taking place in March and April. "Sometimes the underdog pulls it out. You can't always believe the pundits and prognosticators." from Yale Law School more than three decades ago. Penn Rhodeen, a public interest lawyer who worked with Clinton as a student, recalled her showing up on his doorstep wearing purple bellbottoms. "It was so 1972," he recalled, praising Clinton for her longtime interest in helping children. "Here is the abiding truth we know — you have always been a champion for children. Welcome home, dear friend. We are so proud of you." within sight of the Meadowlands, the home of the New York Giants, who defeated the previously unbeaten New England Patriots on Sunday night to win the Super Bowl.

Former President Bill Clinton spoke before a large number of Hispanic students at Santa Ana College in California, where he said he was part of the reason they should vote for his wife. "You know we have always been there for you, in good times and bad, we've been there for California," he said. But former Sen. Bob Dole, the party's 1996 presidential candidate, came to McCain's defense. "Whoever wins the Republican nomination will need your enthusiastic support," he wrote conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who has been critical of McCain. "Two terms for the Clintons are enough."

CELEBRITIES Court gives responsibility to Spears' father ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — A court commissioner on Monday extended the temporary conservatorship of Britney Spears to her father and an attorney until Feb. 14 and appointed a physician to evaluate her competence to make decisions. The hearing came three days after her father, James Spears, and her attorney, Andrew Wallet, were granted temporary conservorship after Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz ruled that Spears needed someone to take over her personal and financial affairs. Goetz's decision might not sit well with Spears, who remains in a hospital psychiatric ward undergoing a medical evaluation. Adam Streisand, who sought to enter the case as Spears' lawyer, said in court that the pop star told him her dad shouldn't be named the conservator of her and her estate. HTCLUB VEGA SV "She has expressed to me very strongly that her father not be the conservator," Streisand said. "There has been an estrangement for quite some time.

Many voters know about Barack Obama's rare charisma, and they rightly consider it when determining their decision. Indeed, Obama's oratorical gifts allow him to frame progressive issues in a way that is more palatable to Americans who would otherwise not accept his left-leaning agenda. Obama offers policies every bit as substantive as Hillary Clinton's, and he is better suited to improve America's standing in the world. Obama and Clinton offer very similar domestic agendas, but Obama's foreign policy ideas convince me to caucus for him. The 2002 Iraq War resolution is history, but Clinton's tortured explanations are instructive of her foreign policy judgment. In the last debate, she claimed she voted to authorize using force to give Bush leverage to get the inspectors into Iraq. She emphatically claimed that it was not a vote to go to war. This echoes Kerry's rather uncompelling argument in 2004. Clinton's vote against the Levin amendment, which would have required Bush to return to Congress for a second authorization to actually invade Iraq, belies her claim. Clinton abandoned her responsiblity as a senator to check Bush's rush to war, and her subsequent attempts to cover it up undermine my confidence in both her honesty and judgment. Obama opposed the war from the start, in the heat of a campaign and at a time when more than 60 percent of the country supported the war. Clinton called Obama naive for pledging to meet with enemy regimes, but she's the shallow one for assuming that engagement necessarily means harmful concessions. Obama steadfastly and categorically rejects torture and includes his opposition to it in his stump speech. The most important policy difference is their stances on torture. Although Clinton has opposed the Bush administration's tactics (not exactly a hard call to make), the New York Daily News wrote, "Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.N.Y.) said she supports legalizing the torture of a captured terror suspect who knows about 'an imminent threat to millions of Americans' — making an exception to her opposition to torture and marking a key difference from her possible rival for the White House, Sen. John McCain (R-Aritz)." There are major problems with this position, and they disqualify her as a candidate. She concedes that torture can be an effective interrogation technique, undermining one of the most potent arguments against the practice. Tortured suspects do not give accurate information, rendering the stakes of the interrogation irrelevant. Torture erodes the basic empathy that underpins ethics. Clinton runs to the right of McCain on this issue, and Democrats should not concede important ground to the GOP this fall. Hillary Clinton certainly possesses diligence and intelligence, but Obama has demonstrated those qualities and more. For this Democratic caucus goer, the choice is clear. He matches stirring rhetoric with sound policy, a combination that promises to push America in a new and positive direction, especially in foreign policy. VAL MARTO HELZBURG BEFORE I SING OUR 1981 HIT "FIGHT THE POWER," YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THESE ROCKIN' RETAILERS!! Andrew MacDonald is senior in history and political science. Selling out to Guitar Hero COMMENTARY Todav's 'rock stars' have become little more than corporate prostitutes JAKE LERMAN If you've ever spent a lazy weekend in Lawrence, it's likely you've heard the unmistakable tapping that will forever be coupled with the game Guitar Hero. It's more than likely that you've strapped on the plastic axe and clicked along to a couple of tunes yourself. I'm not alone when I say that there's something extremely off about seeing a rock icon who once stood as a symbol of rebellion for millions on stage next to a sweater-clad Bill Gates. Nonetheless, Bill and the gang recently unveiled the next chapter in musical fakery, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Gates ushered in the occasion by parading guitar legend slash from Guns and Roses, on out stage. Slash appears in the video game in all of his high-resolution, long-haired glory, but when he emerged from the smoke in front of a 10-yard-wide Microsoft logo there was a noticeable absence of mystique. I love classic rock as much as the next guy, and I know that the world doesn't even turn unless you feed it a buck, but I can't stand to see the men who once appeared so godly on stage pushing products that represent the very establishments they fought against in their music. The hypocrisy is just too great to bear. Honestly, what have we come to when Bobby Dylan is making cameos in Cadillac commercials? When stars prostitute their image to the highest bidder, they are robbing the very image they are trying to sell of its integrity. Rock star rebellion and corporate slogans don't go hand in hand. But the commercialization doesn't stop there. Anyone with an eye on the music world for the past few years is well aware of the resurgence of classic rock. Bands such as The Who, Cream, The Police and the original paragons of rock, Led Zeppelin, have all decided to reunite and have another go. But seeing all of these big names lit up on a marquee begs a simple question: Why are these bands going back on tour? Pardon the idealistic binge, but could they be reassembling to rescue music from the rut of repetitious pop dribble that's currently swarming the radio? noble cause, the reality is that marketers finally realized that when the members of young rebel generation grew up, their pockets may have grown with them. Or could it be that they simply need another suck off the cash cow that is rock 'n' roll nostalgia? As much as I'd like to believe it a Some of them are willing to pay a high price to revisit the soundtrack of their youth. That's not to mention the hoards of new listeners that have been cultivated since the bands originally split up. To get true perspective on the issue, consider who we think of when we reflect on the great names of Rock n' Roll Past. Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia and John Lennon seem to all ring a bell. The alliterated greats of the era were all burnt into our memories, not by big name reunion tours but because the music they made was honest, and it was good. It was motivated by a desire to play and to play well. Money mattered, but that wasn't what they were playing for. Maybe it was seeing John Paul Jones with a buzz cut, or maybe it was a gray-topped Jimmy Page who enlightened me to the artificial nature of resurrected music. Either way, despite the fact that the new wave of reunion shows may lack the spirit of the originals, when I put my headphones on, Plant can still wall, and the songs are as great as ever. For that reason, I know that the day Zep decides to tour the States, I'll be in line for a ticket. Lerman is a Highland Park, Ill., sophomore in journalism. COMMENTARY Consider cost of living in a box on or off campus JENNY HARTZ As a creative writing major, I already know I'm going to end up living in a box. But until then, housing is important. places (well, I did hate McCollum at first, but mostly because of living on the eighth floor and having all the fifth floor people hog the elevators). All three of them had their pros and cons. Many of the hottest properties in Lawrence are available to rent in August, and student-housing contracts are due soon. I've moved every year I've been in college. I started in McCollum, moved to a scholarship hall (holla to all the lovely ladies of Sellards), and have survived a semester off campus. To live on campus or to live off campus? That is the question. I don't regret living in those Student housing is not necessarily cheaper than off campus housing. What I used to pay to live in Sellards for nine months lasts me for 12 months off campus, and that includes rent, utilities and Internet (although it's much better to be a victim of ResNet than Sunflower Broadband. Mott: Customer satisfaction NOT included). Also, buying your own groceries is cheaper than a meal plan. Cost is up to you. You can live in places cheaper than the dorms (Meadowbrook Apartments) or places more expensive (the Trump Tower). Besides price, you need to decide what you want most. On campus, you are much closer to campus resources like the libraries, the Rec center and the student Plus, you know where your food comes from (probably China). unions. In addition, you can walk to class. There's no long commute or dealing with the Parking Department (which, if you've read my past articles, you know I have about as much respect for them as I do the devil, only I'm probably more likely to sell my soul to the devil because he can personally guarantee me a parking spot...in hell). However, some apartments are close enough to walk to campus or are on the bus route. Another positive feature of student housing is most of the maintenance and cleaning is done for you and in a timely manner. Depending on the management, getting anything fixed can take as long as it takes to graduate. If you get a newer place, maintenance is usually not a problem. I personally prefer off campus housing. Minus the commute and competitive parking, I enjoy going to a place every night that's not on campus. It's nice to take a break from the academic world. I have my own room, and it is much quieter and less distracting. I don't feel like I'm at a long summer camp. I have a home to go to and call mine. I like having more space and having the freedom to do what I want with it. If I'm up late in my room, I don't wake up anybody but myself and the voices in my head. I can also clean whenever I want. In the scholarship halls, it was stressful cleaning up after 50 people and trying to fit my shifts around work and classes. Having to share my bathroom with one person is better than 20. And there's always hot water. Regardless of where you live, you have plenty of options. Keep looking until you find what you want. Excuse me.

Kathleen Sebelius encourages her audience to support Barack Obama Monday afternoon at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, Jim Doyle, governor of Wisconsin, introduced Sebelius and also spoke in support of Obama. Governor Kathleen Sebelius visited the University of Kansas on Monday to encourage students to attend the caucus tonight for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. Sebellius' visit further supported online rumors that she may be Obama's running mate in the presidential election if he were selected as the Democratic candidate. Sebelius denied having discussed the matter with Obama, but she did not say she had not considered it or whether she would accept the position if Obama offered it to her. "Right now, I'm focused on Kansas's," Sobelius said. Sebellus also said Obama had to be selected as the Democratic candidate before he could consider a running mate and that she was doing everything she could to make that happen. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Sebelius has made several political appearances across Kansas on bethalf of Obama in the past week. Since then, multiple political blog sites, including Gristmill.org and Showwmeblog.com have said Obama might consider Sebelius as a running mate because of her popularity. Bloggers said Sebelius could help Obama win over Republican voters, especially in Kansas and Missouri. Many sites equated an Obama-Sebelius ticket to the Clinton-Gore presidency. This is not the first time it has been runnored that Sebelius would appear as the vice presidential nominee on the Democratic ballot. During the 2004 presidential campaign, Sebelius was said to have been one of John Kerry's choices. Sebelius told reporters then that it was not her time. Lawrence Bush, a Lawrence resident who is a self-described political blog junkie, said there was also a rumor circulating in the summer of 2006 that Sebelius would be on John Warner's ticket if he ran for president and received the nomination. Warner is the governor of Virginia. Bush said he had not heard any I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN recent rumors regarding Sebelius and the vice president position, but her support of Obama so early in the race could be a foreshadow of the announcement. Breck Gordon, Dallas, Texas, freshman, and Tanner Willbanks, Lawrence junior, laugh in appreciation of Governor Kathleen Sebelius' jokes about the Missouri-Kansas rivaly. Sebelius spoke at the Kansas Union in support of Barack Obama's presidential candidacy. "I would have thought Sebelius would be more neutral." Bush said. "I wouldn't have thought she would come out and support someone until the actual election." Bush also said it was telling that Sebelius did not support Hillary Clinton. He said he would have expected a woman to support another woman, especially after the backlash Oprah received for supporting Obama. Sebelius said at the University she chose to support Obama instead of Clinton mostly because of Obama's popularity among young voters. Several blogs have said Sebelius would be a good addition to Obama's campaign because she is a woman, but Bush said he did not think Obama would select Sebelius for the same reason. "It ites to me, the safe bet would be to have an old, white guy. Someone who does not take away from the ticket. Someone boring." Bush said. "If Obama put Sebelius on the ticket, it would make a splash." Sebelius said she knew people would have liked to see her attack the Bush administration in her response speech, but she did not think that would have been helpful. "I chose to take a more inviting tone." Sebelius said. "It seems to me, the safe bet would be to have an old, white guy. Someone who doesn't take away from the ticket. Someone boring." emotionless and her response did not impress a lot of people. He said it could cause Democrats to reconsider Sebelius' heightened role in national politics. LAWRENCE BUSH Lawrence resident During Sebelius' speech at the University, she stressed the importance of a candidate's ability to govern, even though Obama has never a governor. When a student asked Sebelius what, Obama would do to get the moderate Republicans and independents on his side, Sebelius stressed Obama's ability to put together a coalition that will get things done regardless of red state or blue state, Democrat or Republican. Clarissa Unger, state coordinator of Students for Barack Obama, said she did not have any information on the issue but that students had approached her about the topic. She said she thought students were receiving the information from blogs and comments made by political commentators. "I think Sebelius would be an incredible vice president candidate," Unger said. "I think with all the Obama and Hillary Clinton stuff, it would be nice to see a woman in office, but I don't think Hillary Clinton is the kind of woman we want in office. I think Kathleen Sebelius is the kind of woman we want in office. She's a strong, incredible leader." Edited by Mandy Earles ATTENTION JAYHAWKS!

SPORTS BASKETBALL TICKET PICKUP FOR KSU AND TEXAS TECH ENDS WEDNESDAY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2008 VICTORY TASTES SWEET Hawks soar over rival Mizzou MIZZO 5 4 Sophomore guard Sherron Collins takes the ball to the basket against Missouri forward Leo Lyons during the first half. Collins finished the game with 12 points, four rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes. The Jayhawks led the Tigers 45-33 after the first 20 minutes. BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Orange specks dotted the student section Monday night, an attempt at an orange out. The fans who donned the orange shirts wanted to show their superiority over Missouri in football, to prove that Kansas had the better season even though it lost to the Tigers. They don't have to resort to those gimmicks in basketball. No way. Kansas defeated the Tigers 90-71 Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse for its fifth victory in a row against its rival. It ties the amount of consecutive victories Kansas had against Missouri from 2001 to 2003 and is one less than the six straight the Jayhawks won from 1965 to 1967. PAGE 1B This one came relatively easy. That's when Kansas started to pull away. Rush made another three-pointer. Freshman center Cole Aldrich made a couple free throws. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins and junior guard Mario Chalmers scored on drives to the hoop. Soon, the Jayhawkes were up double digits and led 45-33 at the half. Kansas showed no signs of offensive sluggishness as it did against Colorado. Junior guard Brandon Rush hit a contested three on his team's first possession. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur slammed it home and hung on the rim on the next. The offense was so good that senior center Sasha Kaun scored by pulling on the rim and not even touching the ball. Twice. This was good old-fashioned athletic Kansas basketball. But the offensive blitz and relentless crowd didn't frighten the Tigers at first. They were nearly a full team now, with everyone back from suspension except senior guard Stethon Hannah, and they played like it. Missouri responded to every KU basket with one of its own until late in the first half. The scoring run impressed MU guard Keon Lawrence. "They were able to do what they wanted to do," he said, "and were more physical than us." "The shots were falling!" Kaun said. "That helps build up the confidence a little bit." Perhaps other than Rush, no one may have been as important to the Jayhawks in the first half than Kaun. A couple of his baskets were lucky, but the rest of his game was legit. From the 17-minute mark to the 10-minute mark, he scored eight of Kansas' 16 points. Kaun finished with nine in the first half. He was filling in for Arthur off the bench. Aldrich was doing the same. He grabbed nine rebounds, five of which were on the offensive glass. "Cole and Sasha really bailed us out offensively," Self said. "Collectively, those guys were terrific. They really rebounded the ball and went after the ball." Kansas outrebounded Missouri 48 to 23 for the entire game. Senior Forward Darnell Jackson, Arthur, Kaun and Aldrich all outperformed DeMarre Carroll, Vaidotas Volkus and Leo Lyons inside, Carroll led that trio in rebounding, and he had only three boards. It would have been close to a perfect game for the Jayhawks if the guards had played better. Self wasn't too happy with their defense. They let Keon Lawrence score 25 points and only got three steals. Self also said they were part of the reason Kaun and SEE MISSOURI ON PAGE 4B MEN'S BASKETBALL BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Rush gets aggressive midseason Hoe-Hum. Another double-digit performance for Brandon Rush. Another victory against Missouri. All that was old news for Rush after Monday night's victory against Missouri. Rush had bigger problems. He caught a few Tiger elbows and his face told the story. "I'm all swelled up in the face," Rush said. "I don't get the girls." FOOTBALL Rush's performance against Missouri probably made the Kansas City, Mo., native feel a little better. Rush scored 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting and put together another strong performance against Missouri – he's now averaging 14.1 points per game in six career regular season games against the Tigers. Rush did something else on Monday night. He made more believers out of those people who've always questioned his aggressiveness. Kansas coach Bill Self has been Rush's biggest critic. Self called Rush out earlier this season, asking for his junior guard to be more aggressive. Rush responded and came into tonight's game averaging 12.3 points per game. Still, those words Self ushered earlier this season might still be the biggest reason for Rush's consistent play. "It has everything to do with it," Rush said about Self's comments. "I just don't want him saving that anymore." Rush's aggressiveness was on display Monday night. Rush scored 19 points, but many of those points came on plays that would hardly be described as Rushesque. Rush hit a three-pointer to start the game, then hit sophomore forward Darrell Arthur mid-stride for transition dunk to give Kansas a 5-1 lead. Then Rush did something a little more out of character. He attacked the basket. With 3:16 to play in the first half, Rush drove the baseline and scored, giving Kansas a 38-26 advantage. He finished the first half with 10 points. "To me, he's played pretty good ever since he's been here." Self said. "He's averaging a little over 15 and a half a game {in conference play}, and he's only led us in scoring twice.

Kansas fans have turned their collective ice from Lee Corso to Digger Phelps. Memories of bowl season have been replaced with the anticipation of brackets full of March madness. When each team formally announces its 2008 recruiting class Wednesday, diehard fans won't lack for knowledge of the high school seniors pledged to become Jayhawks, Wildcats, Sooners or other college teams. CSTV is planning seven hours of programming full of signing day information. ESPNU is devoting all of Wednesday afternoon to covering the commitments. And yes, some people care intensely. When I tried tracking down some further info on ESPNU's recruiting info, its Web site read. "This site is temporarily too busy to process your request. Please try again later." By all indications, it's basketball season. But for those who insist on a February football fix, there's signing day - the most overhyped and overanalyzed day of the college football calendar. Can't log on over at ESPNU.com? No worries. Web destinations such as Rivals.com and Scout.com are devoted almost entirely to recruiting news - at this time of the year, mainly football. Rivals.com boasts message boards, national team recruiting rankings, lists of the top prospects at each position projected through 2011 and individual biographies of countless high school players. This would all be great if the whole process wasn't an educated guessing game at best and a crapshoot at worst. Recruiting services can't possibly watch in person each and every high school player they "evaluate." Web sites are notorious for granting players better rankings on the basis of which schools are interested. A glance through some players' biographies would have you believe every kid in America runs no slower than a 4.55 second 40-yard dash and can bench press 325 pounds. To see the guesswork and inaccuracy that goes into scouting the multitude of prep football prospects, one doesn't have to look any farther than Kansas' commit lists from the past few seasons. The jayhawks' 2004 class was a real bummer according to Rivals.com. Kansas didn't snag any four-star recruits, out of a possible five stars. Of the 21-player class, 14 were two-star kids - players destined for mediocrity. Turns on the recruiting service was wrong because the 2004 class turned out to be more than average. Junior Aqib Talib was one of those two-star recruits, and the cornerback is now headed for a gigantic pay day and the first round of the NLA Drift. Junior offensive lineman Anthony Collins was a two-star guy, too. He's also headed to the NFL after an Kansas rankings Kansas Big 12 Conference recruiting rank (out of 12 teams): 2007: 9th 2006: 7th 2005: 10th 2004: 11th 2003: 7th —Rivals.com All-American season. Dexton Fields, junior wide receiver, who led Kansas with 63 receptions last year, earned just two stars. Junior Jayhawks' tackling leader, Joe Mortensen, also got the two-star tag. The 2007 Kansas Jayhawks managed to finish 12-1 and capture an Orange Bowl victory with no players Rivals.com deemed five-star prospects and just two four-star players - freshman wide receiver Ryan Murphy, who didn't play a single down all season, and sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb, who became more famous for his refusal to call for a fair catch than for any of his positive attributes. That fact speaks more to the failure of the recruiting service than it does the quality of Kansas' players, who were able to match up favorably across the board against the highly touted Virginia Tech Hokies in last month's Orange Bowl triumph.

Kansas will be one of 18 teams competing in the tournament, which will feature the defending Hilo Invitational champion Stanford. Big 12 opponents Colorado and Oklahoma will also be competing. Last year, the Jayhawks finished 14th out of 18 overall in the tournament with an individual best performance by sophomore Patrick Roth who individually placed 43rd out of 94 players. This spring season's lineup will be led by Juniors Walt Koelbel and Zach Pederson. Koelbel was the most consistent player during the fall season, averaging third in scoring, as well as completing two of the top three rounds on the team. consistent play this season. Pederson had three top 40 finishes in the fall with his best coming with an 11th place finish at the Kansas Invitational. Freshmen Nate Barbee and Brad Hopfinger will also look to be key performers this season after averaging first and second on the team in scoring average. This will be the first of six events this spring for the Jayhawks. Pederson will look for more — Bryan Wheeler Now accepting nominations and applications for the following graduating senior awards: The University of Kansas Chancellor's Student Awards Committee 毕业证 The Agnes Wright Strickland Award The Class of 1913 Award *The Rusty Leffel Concerned Student Award The Leffel Award is not restricted to graduating seniors The Donald K.

Former Kansas catcher Brent Del Chiaro will continue his career with the Los Angeles of Anaheim Angels organization as an assistant coach for one of the Angels' minor league affiliates. The Owlz are one of three Rookie League affiliates owned by the Angels. Del Chiaro spent most of the last seven seasons in the minor leagues, until he became the Angels' bulpen catcher in April 2007.

Although they dominated fellow Big 12 unbeaten Kansas State in Manhattan to take sole possession of first, Baylor must now play the remainder on the year without guard misshill layer after a torn ACL. Player was averaging 12.2 points, six rebounds and almost four assists while serving as a team captain. Time will tell how much her injury will affect Baylor, but she will be sorry missed. of the year without junior guard Jhasmin Player TWO C No.18 Kansas State 15-6 [7-1] This week: Kansas The Wildcats will get a full week to digest their first conference setback. Though losing to Baylor did not end their hopes of a Big 12 Championship, Kansas State cannot afford any more losses at home—espe- special to a team struggling as much as its in-state rivals. The Wildcats are still favored to win the Big 12 North. The only true tests between now and the Big 12 Tournament are matchups with Oklahoma and Nebraska in Manhattan. THREE QU No.10 Oklahoma 15-4 [5-2] This week: at Missouri, Colorado After having an off-night against Kansas last Wednesday and nearly ending her streak of consecutive double-doubles, junior center Courtney Paris was back to her usual self against Texas. Paris dropped 20 points and 12 rebounds on the Longhorns and nearly recorded a triple-double with eight blocks. Neither Missouri or Colorado have the firepower to slow her down and two wins should be easy for an Oklahoma team that seems to have hit its stride at just the right time. FOUR OKLAHOMA SUNNY BAY UCF No. 17 Oklahoma State 17-3 [5-2] This week: Baylor, at Nebraska The Cowgirls can count on sophomore them. Last week, Riley was one of 31 players named to the 2008 Naismith Trophy midseason list and followed that up with yet another stellar performance against Colorado. Her 30 points, nine rebounds and seven assists helped give Oklahoma State a crucial away victory. Things won't get any easier with Baylor traveling to Stillwater this week, but with Riley at the point anything is possible. N FIVE This week at Colorado, Oklahoma State Nebraska 16-6 [5-3] guard Andrea Riley to take them as far as her 5-Foot-5 frame can carry This week will decide if Nebraska can put itself in position to challenge K-State for Big 12 northeast honors. If they can escape this week at 7-3, the Cornhuskers can hope the Wildcats falter down the line. A two point loss in Lincoln last Wednesday to Kansas State was disappointing, but this week's Big 12 Player of the Week, junior forward Kelsey Griffin, gives Nebraska the chance to win in any game they play. SIX ATM No.7 Texas A&M 16-6 [4-4] This week:Texas After starting 1-4, the Aggies are back in the hunt for a top-half finish in the Big 12. Although three straight victories is a sign of better things to come, they weren't exactly playing the crème de la crème of the league. Kansas, Missouri and Texas Tech are team that an extremely talented, but underachieving Texas A&M squad should beat nearly every time. The conference will get a better idea if they have turned their season around when the Aggies welcome Texas to College Station on Saturday. SEVEN --- No. 6 Texas 15-7 [3-5] This week: at Texas A&M The Longhorns must have been disappointed at the result of last week's Red River Shootout. After losing to Baylor by one in Waco just days before, Courtney Paris and Oklahoma came to Austin to dominate Texas. The Sooners shot 55 percent from the field to the Longhorn's 31 percent. Sophomore phenomenon Brittainey Raven never got comfortable on offense, which her 3-12 shooting proved. A win against the Aggies would go a long way to restoring the Longhorn's confidence. KU EIGHT No. 10 Kansas 13-8 [2-6] This week: at Kansas State After losing handily to Oklahoma last Wednesday, Kansas bounced back at home with a win over Iowa State. The catalyst? Freshman center Krysten Booagard's inspired play. Booagard captured Bookie of the week honors for two solid performances, including a 20 point, 12 rebound and three block effort against the Cyclones. The hope in Lawrence is her emergence in the post will open up opportunities for sophomore guards Sade Morris and Danielle Iowa State CYCLING McCray, McCray in particular needs to find a way to take more high-percentage shots instead of settling for guarded jumpers. No. 11 Iowa State 13-7 [2-5] This week: Texas Tech, Missouri NINE The Cyclones will be disappointed to leave Lawrence without a win that was definitely within their grasp. The good news is Iowa State's schedule for the upcoming week is by far the easiest in the conference. Two games at home against teams a combined 3-13 in the Big 12 could be just what the Cyclones need to get close to .500, Kansas' perimeter defense swarmed Iowa State's shooters off the three-point line, but Texas Tech and Missouri have arguably the two worst defenses in the conference, so expect good nights from behind the arc. TFN T The Lady Raiders are maddeningly inconsistent. It doesn't seem to matter if they play at home or on the road, or even that the opponent is. They are the only Big 12 team to lose to Missouri, yet the Lady Raiders No. 8 Texas Tech 14-7 [2-5] This week, at Iowa State, at Bavior played a close game with Baylor and beat Texas. On the other hand, Oklahoma, Kansas State and Texas A&M have all blown out Texas Tech. A win at Iowa State will go a long way towards achieving consistency. ELEVEN CUJ No. 9 Colorado 13-8 [2-6] This week: Nebraska, at Oklahoma After beating Kansas in Boulder on Jan. 22, Colorado has lost three consecutive games by an average of 16 points per game. That streak included losses to Texas Tech and Iowa State. There will be no respite for the Buffaloes this week with a difficult game against the Cornhuskers followed by a daunting trip to Norman. A win at home against Nebraska is a possibility, but Oklahoma has notified the Big 12 that a win at the Lloyd Noble Center will be almost impossible to accomplish. V TWELVE No. 12 Missouri 8-13 (1-7) This week: Oklahoma, at Iowa State Missouri welcomes the Courtney Paris show to Columbia on Wednesday. If last year's game is any indication, the Tigers could be in for a long night against Paris. Last year in Norman, the country's most dominant post player scored 33 points and landed 21 rebounds to lead the Sooners to a comfortable 72-57 victory in which the Tigers were out-rebounded by 21. Don't expect much different this week. —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Freshman center honored with national award Supply Chain Industry Night YELLOWSTONE The accolade Boogaard is the fourth Jayhawk in the last two years to receive the honor. Fellow freshman forward Nicollette Smith won the award earlier this season while sophomear guards Kelly Kohn and Danielle McCray won it last season. Kansas freshman center Krysten Boogaard was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week Monday. comes two days after Kansas beat Iowa State behind 20 points,12 rebounds, three blocks and two steals from Booqaard. It was her second double-double of the season. She also recorded 11 points, eight rebounds and four blocks earlier in the week against Oklahoma.

Kaun scored 12 points, but struggled to stay out of foul trouble, ending the game with four personal fouls. KANSAS 10 Mindv Rickettc/KANSAN Tyreil Reed, Matt Kleimann, Conner Teahan and Jeremy Case check in for the last minute of the game. Kansas had built up a solid lead over Missouri, winning 90-71. COMMENTARY Different seat offers new view of fieldhouse BY TRAVIS ROBINETT Kansas defeated Missouri, 90-71. The "Orange Out" was a moderate success. And I had the pleasure of sitting in the middle of the reserved seats, section 115, row 5, seat 5, with some rabid nonstudent KU fans. It all started when the overflow media section, 13A, was full. So what would any seatless journalist do? Try to find a way to avoid going back to the media room. "No one ever sits here," said Lori Porter, a Wichita resident sitting in seat 6. How did I end up here? It took awhile, but luckily, I found J.D. Loudabanger, an employee with the Athletics Department who tipped me off to something called an "overflow ticket." I nestled into my comfy seat. Now, for the first time ever, I was at a KU game in the reserved section. From the student section, the rest of the crowd seems so tame. But in reality, they love to yell just as much, just not stand, at least unless there's a terrible call or a rare moment of genius that deserves a standing ovation. Like when Darnell Jackson blocked a shot with 42.9 seconds remaining in the first half. "Wooo! There you go, baby!" one screamed. "Hey, hey! All right, Darnell!" came from another. Lori Porter, who has been coming to games with her husband, Mike, thinks this is the best team she's seen since the 1996-1997 squad, one that included five future NBA draft picks. To my right was 17-year-old Tom Fehr, a Leawood resident and future Jayhawk, perhaps. He wore a Jayhawk hat, you know, the kind that makes you look like the mascot. "My mom told me, 'If you wear this hat, I will buy it for you,' " he said. "I was like, all right." And to my pleasure, I even meet a KU fan from my neck of the woods: Daney Reed from Austin, Texas. "BOOOO!" he screamed as Darrell Arthur was called for a blocking foul, which Reed obviously thought was a charge. By far, he was the loudest voice of dissent. "He was just standing there!" "So do you like the Hawks or the Horns?" I asked "The Jayhawks," he replied without hesitation. "Oh yeah," he said. Are you going to the game next Monday? It's needless to say at this point, but I was impressed by the passion of the nonstudents. His brother in law, Greg Michels from Emporia, said "For him, only Jayhawk stuff for Christmas." But then, there were the students, the original topic of my column until I got so sidetracked. I wondered what the "Orange Out" would be like. Considering that it's hard just to get everyone to wear blue, I'd say it went pretty well. "I think I wore orange because they had something in the UDK," said Garret Prather, a Wichita somhomore. And how great was it that the football team was honored for its Orange Bowl victory during halftime of the Missouri game? The Jayhawk plane exploded a Virginia Tech helmet on the big screen as the crowd roared. I hope Amanda Jobe, a Shawnee sophomore, wasn't offended. She wore an orange Virginia Tech shirt to the game. "Really, it was the only orange shirt I had," she said. "No, we weren't in a camping group," said St. Louis junior Ryan Klamen. "We were stitting here, and then two other groups showed up randomly." So orange was scattered throughout the arena, but that from my comfy reserved seat, only one group of solid orange stood out. It was 15 orange T-shirts in all. What better way to end this than with the best sign I saw at the game, one that got to the heart of what the "Orange Out" was supposed to be all about. The credit goes to Sam Stepp, a Mission Hills senior. "Hey Mizzou, the Oranges tasted great!" Edited by Dianne Smith MISSOURI MISSOURI (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Arthur got into foul trouble "They were quicker than us," Self said. "I shouldn't say that, but their guards went anywhere they wanted." Still, Kansas mostly did what it wanted in the victory just like it has during its other four victories in the last two years. This victory over a rival felt good, especially less than a week after losing to another major rival, Kansas State. Just not quite good enough. Kansas wants to succeed in both rivalries and continue to stay atop the Big 12 rankings. "This is great tonight. I'm happy we won and all that stuff," Self said. "But this doesn't feel as good as that felt bad. Hopefully we can get a win in the future that will feel that good." RUSH (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Rush also gave Kansas a boost at the defensive end. sistent, that's a sign of consistency. He's not having the huge game, but you're able to pencil in 15." Rush, who also finished with six rebounds, matched up on Missouri junior guard Matt Lawrence and held him to zero-for-five shooting from the three-point range and zero-for-six overall. "He really did a nice job guarding him." Self said. Nobody asked Rush about his surgically repaired knee after Monday night's game – the one he injured last May. Those questions are almost all gone. Now people are asking him how he manages to stay so consistent. "Just getting an early start," Rush said. "Just getting my confidence up." With the way Rush is playing, it's been tough for his confidence to go anywhere but up. Still, Self is ready to put some more words of motivation in Rush's head. "I still think he can do a little bit more," Self said. High/Low Highs Highs Rodrick Stewart Taking stock of the good, the bad and the fans Stewart's minutes diminished after Sherron Collins and Brandon Rush returned from injury. But with Darrell Arthur in foul trouble, Stewart played seven productive minutes in the first half and did a nice job guarding Missouri's 6-foot-8 Junior forward DeMarre Carroll. Orange Bowl trophy presentation Now, that's how you take a jab at Missouri. Allen Fieldhouse absolutely exploded during Monday night's halftime trophy ceremony. Easy on the Rims Darrell Arthur practically tore the goal off the backboard in the opening minutes. The dunk didn't ignite a huge run, but it did set the tone for the rest of the night. KAUNI The scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan featuring William Shatner yelling "Khan" multiple times has Lows become a fan-favorite at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas terrorized Missouri on the boards. The Jayhawks had seven offensive rebounds alone in the first half. Arthur's foul trouble For the second time in three games, Arthur played limited minutes because of foul trouble. The sophomore forward played 17 minutes during last week's loss to K-State, and picked up three fouls in two minutes during the first half against Missouri. Orange T-shirts The idea was good in theory: Wear orange shirts to rub Kansas' Orange Bowl victory in the face of Missouri fans. But the final result just didn't look right. The scattered bunches of orange shirts in the student section made it look like a bunch of Oklahoma State fans just transferred to Kansas. -Rustin Dodd PEACE TEAR GAS FAILS TO INTERRUPT PACE MOBILIZATION ON CAMPUS THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY KUHISTORY.COM TEAR GAS FAILS TO INTERRUPT PEACE MOBILIZATION ON CAMPUS UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWSON, HUNT DENY 'RED' CHARGES Give Statement to Kansan THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Blacks demand KKK visit be canceled KU faculty will decide controversy A service of the KU Memorial Unions AUSTIN, TEXAS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Tuesday December 18, 2016 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Thursday November 24, 1998 Blacks demand KKK visit be canceled KU faculty will decide controversy 1 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 2008 SPORTS 5B MEN'S BASKETBALL WRAP-UP 2000 Ian Goerina/KANSAN Freshman center Cole Aldrich gets ready to take a swat at a shot by Missouri forward Leo Lyons during the second half of the game. The Tigers tied the game four times, but never had the lead. A three-point basket by junior guard Mario Chlamers with 14:23 to go in the first half gave the Hawks a lead, which they never relinquished. Jon Goering/KANSAN PASSION Greg Schleifman, Arlington, Va. sophomore, cheers during the Kansas game against Missouri Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 90-71. Kansas improved to 22-1 overall and 7-1 in the Big 12. GAME NOTES Fans celebrate victory over Missouri and continue to revel in Orange Bowl success Self on Bob Knight "I'm disappointed for selfish reasons." Self said. "It's like when Barry Sanders retired from football. He couldn't do that to all the people out there, retiring that early. That's kind of how I feel about Coach Knight because he's great for our league." Orange Bowl celebration At halftime, the football team was officially given the Orange Bowl Trophy, a glass case filled with oranges. Before about half the team walked on the court, the lights went off in Allen Fieldhouse and a highlight video was played. Double the pleasure The Athletics Department played an extra highlight video before the game started. The P.A. system was also set at a louder volume for the announcements. All of it was intended to get the fans more pumped up than usual, and it worked. Monday night's crowd was loud. Mark Dent KANSAS 15 Jon Goering/KANSAN Junior guard Mario Chalmers tries to throw down a dunk over a Missouri defender during the first half of the game. Chalmers drew a blocking foul on the play. Chalmers finished with 15 points, six assists and two blocks while turning the ball over only once. BEAT MILLIONI A few orange t-shirts dotted the usual sea of blue at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas fans wore the shirts as a reminder of their Orange Bowl victory.

"He said he was tired and that it was best to go ahead and do it now." Texas Tech chancellor Kent Hance told The Associated Press. "I think Bob is through with coaching. I think he got to the point where it wasn't fun for him." Known as much for his fiery temper as his basketball brilliance, Knight gave no hint a change was coming. He will be replaced by his son, Pat, a Red Raiders assistant. The 67-year-old Knight informed Texas Tech athletic ASSOCIATED PRESS BURY Texas Tech coach Bob Knight, left, is congratulated by his son Pat Knight following his team's win over New Mexico Jan. 1. By beating New Mexico 70-68, Knight earned his 880th career win and broke the Division I men's basketball record he shared with former North Carolina coach Dean Smith. A spokesman for Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers announced Monday that Knight had resigned, effective immediately. "He thought about it Sunday all day and talked to his wife and decided "This is something I want to do," Hance said. director Gerald Myers of his decision in a meeting around noon, Hance said. Knight then called Hance and told him. The Red Raiders beat Oklahoma State 67-60 on Saturday, giving Knight his 902nd victory. He won national titles at Indiana in 1976, '81 and '87. Knight was not available for comment Monday, said Randy Farley, a spokesman for the Texas Tech basketball program. The Lubbock Avalanche Journal first reported the resignation. In September, Knight signed a three-year contract extension that runs through the 2011-12 season. In 2005, Pat Knight was appointed his father's successor. K n i g h t arrived at Texas Tech in March 2001, six months after being fired by Indiana Knight passed former North Carolina coach Dean Smith as the winningest Division I coach Jan. 1, 2007, getting career win No. 880. To celebrate the milestone Knight chose "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, a mantra for how he navigated his personal and professional worlds. "I did it my way and when I look back on it, I don't think my way was all that bad." Texas Tech's next game is Wednesday night at Baylor. victory last month against Texas A&M. "Bob is kind of a funny guy. He always loved that song 'My Way,' and this is another example," Hance said. tor what school officials there called a "pattern of unacceptable behavior." Back then, Knight explained why "My Way" was so fitting. "Ive simply tried to do what I think is best," Knight said. "Regrets? Sure. Just like the song. I have regrets. I wish I could done things better at Bob Knight Former Texas Tech Coach PENN STATE UNIVERSITY In his first six years at Tech, he led the Red Raiders to five 20-win seasons, a first at the school. They are 12-8 this season, including Knight's 900th times. I wish I would have had a better answer, a better way, at times. But just like he said, I did it my way and when I look back on it, I don't think my way was all that bad" coach for 42 years. He broke in at Army in 1965, but made his mark in 29 years at Indiana. Knight has been a college ASSOCIATED PRESS He's a complex package, someone who can hit a policeman, throw a chair across the court or be accused of wrapping his hands around a player's neck, yet never gets in trouble for breaking NCAA rules, always has high a graduation rate and gave his salary back a few years ago because he didn't think hed earned it. Former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight throws a chair across the floor protesting a technical foul during a basketball game against Purdue University in Bloomington, Ind., in this Feb. 23, 1985 photo. Knight received three technical fouls and was ejected from the game. Knight got his 100th victory at Army, then moved to Indiana, where his Hoosiers went 662-239 from 1971-2000. His first NCAA title came in 1976 when Indiana went undefeated, a feat no team has accomplished since. He began his coaching career at Army, at age 24, the youngest- ever Division I coach. Knight won 20 or more games in 29 seasons.

FRED SALERMAN 8B SPORTS BASEBALL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2008 --- Clemens and Pettitte testify, prepare for steroid hearing ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Not one of Roger Clemens' flat-out denials about using steroids or human growth hormone was delivered while he spoke under oath. Now he gets that chance. The seventime Cy Young Award winner is scheduled to give a deposition to lawyers from a congressional committee behind closed doors Tuesday. McNamee is to appear Thursday. "Roger is not going to take the Fifth Amendment. He is going to answer the committee's questions truthfully under oath." INCORRECT IS to appear THRICE One of his lawyers, Earl Ward, said no decision had been made on whether he would submit to a deposition or transcribed interview. one day after his former New York Yankees teammate and workout partner Andy Pettitt delivered sworn testimony for about two and a half hours. It is a crime to lie to Congress, Both pitchers' private interviews with staff members from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are part of preparation for a Feb. 13 hearing. That public session is expected to focus on allegations made in the Mitchell Report by trainer Brian McNamee that he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with performance enhancers. RUSTY HARDIN Clemens' Lawyer The 45-year-old Clemens ranks eighth in major league history with 354 career wins. He put off retirement yet again in 2007, returning to the Yankees in June and going 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA. New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte stands in an elevator on Capitol Hill in Washington, Monday, after he was deposed before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. he to congress, whether sworn to tell the truth or not, so the distinction between the two has more to do with the format of the questioning and the confidentiality of the transcript. Pettit, who chose to be deposed, did emptys not take questions from reporters afterward as he walked from committee offices to an elevator in the Rayburn House Office Building. Wearing a pintstripe gray suit and bright striped tie, Pettitte was accompanied by his wife and three lawyers. "At the com- "Roger is not going to take the Fifth Amendment," one of Clemens' lawyers, Rusty Hardin, said in a statement e-mailed by spokesman Joe Householder. "He is going to answer the committee's questions truthfully under oath." declined to comment. At the committee's request, Andy Pettitte voluntarily met with representatives of the committee this morning, and fully answered all of the inquiries McNamee told former Senate majority leader George Mitchell he injected Pettitte with HGH. retrite lent credence to Mitchell's findings by acknowledging two days after the report was released in December that he did try HGH for two days in 2002 to help deal with an elbow injury. The committee announced Monday it will hold yet another hearing Feb. 12, entitled, "Myths and Facts about Human Growth Hormone, B-12, and Other Substances" The 45-year-old Clemens ranks eighth in major league history with 354 career wins. Staff members for the committee ASSOCIATED PRESS "We believe that the statements provided to us were truthful." of these proceedings, and out of deference to the committee's request for confidentiality, we, on behalf of Mr. Pettitte, will not comment on the nature or specifics of his testimony." The committee said medical experts will testify about the effects of such substances. made of him in a sworn deposition," two of Pettitt's lawyers, Jay Reisinger and Thomas Farrell, said in a statement. "Out of respect for the sensitive nature GEORGE MITCHELL Former Senate Majority Leader A former Yankees teammate of Pettitte and Clemens, Chuck Knoblauch, spoke to committee staff Friday. The day before, an employee of the sports agency that represents Clemens and Pettit went to Capitol Hill to be interviewed. McNamee said he injected Clemens with HGH and steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001. Clemens has repeatedly and vigorously denied that, including in a recorded television interview and a live news conference — as well as through his lawyers. Clemens did acknowledge he received injections from McNamee, but he said they were for vitamin B-12 and the painkiller lidocaine. When Mitchell testified at a committee hearing Jan. 15, he was asked whether he was still comfortable with McNamee's credibility. "We believe that the statements provided to us were truthful," Mitchell said. McNamee also said he acquired HGH from former New York Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski for Knoblauch in 2001 — and McNamee said he injected Knoblauch with HGH. Radomski pleaded guilty in April to federal felony charges of distributing steroids and laundering money. He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday, then speak to committee staff on Feb. 12. Last week, Ward said he believed Pettitte would tell Congress he discussed HGH with Clemens between the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Ward said Pettitte talked about HGH with McNamee following a conversation with Clemens. Richard Emery, another lawyer for McNamee, has said the trainer and Pettite also discussed steroids use by Clemens. The 35-year-old Pettitte, who won four championships with the Yankees then helped the Houston Astros reach their first World Series, returned to New York last season and went 15-9. This offseason, he agreed to a $16 million, one-year contract to play for the Yankees in 2008. SUPER BOWL Game sets all-time record ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The 97.5 million viewers who saw the New York Giants' last-minute win over the New England Patriots made it the most-watched Super Bowl ever and second biggest event in American television history. Only the "MASH" series finale in 1983, with 106 million viewers, was seen by more people, Nielsen Media Research said Monday. Sunday's game eclipsed the previous Super Bowl record of 94.08 million, set when Dallas defeated Pittsburgh in 1996. This year's game had almost all the ingredients Fox could have hoped for: a tight contest with a thrilling finish involving a team that was attempting to make history as the NFLs first unbeaten team since 1972. But the Giants ended New England's bid for perfection, 17-14. Throughout the game, the teams were never separated by more than a touchdown. "You might like your equation going in, but you still need some breaks going your way," said Ed Goren, Fox sports president. The closeness of the game probably added a couple million viewers to the telecast's average; the audience peaked at 105.7 million viewers between 9:30 and 10 p.m. EST during the fourth quarter. Giants quarterback Eli Manning won bragging rights over his brother: Last year's win by Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts was seen by 93.2 million people, now - during the fourth quarter. the third most popular Super Bowl. Manning was set to appear on David Letterman's "Late Show" on Monday, but travel delays in Arizona pushed his appearance back to Wednesday. An eye-popping 81 percent of all TV sets on in the Boston area Sunday were tuned in to the game. In New York, the audience share was 67 percent. There were signs even before game time that Fox could be headed for a record. The opportunity for a team to make history with football's first 19-0 record was a powerful draw. The Giants and Patriots also had a tight contest in late December that drew strong ratings. There were past Super Bowls with higher ratings, topped by the 1982 game between San Francisco and Cincinnati (49.1 rating, 73 share). That indicates a larger percentage of homes with televisions were watching the game. But since the American population has increased, along with the number of people with TVs, the actual number of people watching this year was higher. The Giants' underdog run had also captivated the nation's largest media market, making up for the only potential weakness in the event as a drawing card; the lack of geographical diversity in the competing teams. in to the game, and 65 percent of the TV sets that were turned on were watching football. The Giants-Patriots game's actual rating (43.2 rating, 65 share) was the highest for any Super Bowl since 2000. That means 43 percent of the nation's TV sets were tuned The 97.5 million figure represents the game's average viewership during any given minute. Nielsen said that a total of 148.3 million watched at least some part of the game. Goren said ratings were stronger than usual for Fox's pregame show, crediting the decision to add a show biz element with Ryan Seacrest to a program often usually only hardcore football fans could love. Fox, a division of News Corp. charged $2.7 million for 30 seconds of advertising time on the game, and that may have been a bargain. This year's Super Bowl was one of the few — if only — television events where more people watched the commercials than the program itself, according to digital video recorder makers TiVo Inc. By measuring live viewership, and the number of people who rewound their DVRs, the most-senior Super Bowl commercial was E-Trade's stock-talking baby, who ended a financial discussion by spitting up, TiVo said. In what may be a sign of the times, TiVo's top 10 commercials featured only one beer ad and four for either soft drinks or flavored water. "I didn't see that punch line coming at all," said Todd Juenger, Tivo's research chief. INTERNATIONAL Olympic spinner to retire because of injuries BEIJING — Maurice Greene sprang a little surprise on Monday — he's retiring. Former Olympic and world champion cited nagging injuries for his decision, making the announcement halfway around the globe and not long after the Super Bowl had ended in Glendale, Ariz. Traveling in China inspecting Olympic facilities with a group of contenders for Olympic gold, 33- year-old Greene said injuries forced him to retire. "It's a little sad for me but it's happy at the same time because I've had a great career. I've done a lot of great things." Greene said. "For the last couple of years, I've had nagging injuries that have stopped my training. So I think it's better to just call it quits." Greene, native of Kansas City, Kan., was the dominant spinner of the late 1990s and into the new century. He set a world record for the 100 meters in 1999 and won the sprint at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Like many sprinters, Greene could be boastful like a heavyweight boxer. He won world championship 100 titles in 1997, 1999 and 2001. At Seville, Spain, in '99, he won the 200 and 400-meter relay golds in a rare triple. "I like to say I'm the GOAT," he said. "The greatest of all time — in my time." Associated Press {The Place To Be Our VIP!} Save the Date!

The Bull, on 14th and Tennessee, reopens after being closed for the winter and among the plans are an ATM, two plasma screen televisions, and a nicer interior. Scott Newell, Shaffer's co-owner, said it will be a "cleaner, better place with colder, better beer." BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com The corner of 14th and Tennessee has been unusually quiet during the past six weeks. That may change tonight when a longtime Lawrence bar reopens under new management. James Shaffer and Scott Newell, owners of The Bull, prepare the interior for the grand reopening set for 3 p.m. on Wednesday. With all the updates on the inside, the two owners expect a large turnout despite the weather Bullwinkle's - casually referred to as The Bull by most students - reopens at 3 p.m. today after shutting down when students left for winter break. Michael Woodring, a Kansas graduate, leased the property and ran the bar for almost three years. Woodring said he was ready to get out of the bar business and he sold the bar back to the real estate company that owned the property. "It was more of I just had to get out of the college lifestyle" Woodring said. Two Kansas graduates from the class on 2003, Scott Newell and James Shaffer, saw the empty building sitting at 14th and Tennessee and decided to move on the property. "They had talked about a coffee shop coming in here, or like a Laundromat." Newell said. "We didn't want to see that happen, so we worked out a deal and bought the Roll." Newell said he and Shaffer, who also Newell said he and own the Phoggy Dogg. 23rd and Iowa streets, renovated the inside of the bar. "We're excited about being close to campus," Newell said. The proximity to campus has long made The Bull popular with students who live in the area between 9th and 19th streets and Tennessee to Louisiana. Bonham-Carter/KANSAN "A lot of students live in the area," Dunn said. "I guess it's better that they have bars nearby where they can walk there, rather than drive." Dunn said he was concerned about what the building would become after Bullwinkle's "On the inside, we redid everything from the ceilings to the floors." FRECHT SCOTT NEWELL Co-owner of The Bull But James Dunn, a longtime Lawrence resident and past president of the neighborhood association, is one of the many non-students who live in the area. closed in December. Dunn said most of the non-student residents aren't opposed to the bars in the area - Bullwinkle's, The Jayhawk Café, 1430 Ohio, and the Wagon Wheel, 507 W 14th Street - they just want to make sure the area stayed safe. "I didn't know if it was just going to be a derelict building sitting there," Dunn said. Woodring said he was glad Newell and Shaffer bought the bar. Woodring said he thought Bullwinkle's was an iconic part of the neighborhood. "That neighborhood would lose a lot of its would lose a lot of its luster if it wasn't there" Woodring said. But Woodring said history alone doesn't make a bar profitable. Because the capacity of Bullwinkle's is limited, the bar relies on packing patrons on its patio. "The only real headache is that it's a warm-weather bar," Woodring said. "You have to make all your money in three months when it's nice outside." Newell is confident business will be good. "On the inside, we reidl everything from the cellings to the floors." Newell said. One student is excited for the bar to reopen. Sarah, Tankard, Flower Mound, Texas, junior, said she has been going to The Bull almost every weekend since her freshman year. "It's just a fun environment, especially on warm days," Tankard said. — Edited by Daniel Reyes MUSIC Israeli hip-hop group to perform at Bottleneck Israeli funk and hip-hop group, Hadag Nachash, will perform at the Bottleneck on Thursday night.

Obama won 10 states and Hillary Clinton won 11. At Lawrence's caucuses, Clinton barely accumulated enough support to send delegates to Kansas' Democratic District Committee. Republican voters were just as divided as their opposition. John McCain won the most states with 10, but Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney proved the Republican nomination was still wide open by winning five states each.

Michael Millhouse, is painting decorative Christmas greetings on storefront windows in one photo published Dec. 13 in the Lewiston Tribune. The other image was taken from surveillance video footage that reportedly showed a then-unidentified man slipping a women's wallet in the pocket of that same coat and walking away. Millhouse, 43, of Clarkston, Wash., was sentenced to 365 days in jail with 335 suspended and was allowed to serve the remaining 30 days under electronic home monitoring. He paid 600 restitution, the amount the woman said was in her purse when it disappeared. Copy editors at the Tribute spotted the similarity of the person in the photos, and an employee called police in Clarkston.

This hip-hop, funk group from Israel prefers to write lyrics focused on issues that affect the Israeli people over mainstream hip-hop themes. BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com On Thursday night, University of Kansas students will be treated to a free show from Israeli funk group, Hadag Nachach, at the Bottleneck. The performance will kick off KU Hillel's celebrations in honor of Israel's 60th anniversary. Hadag Nachash, a well-known music group from Israel, plays a mixture of funk, hip-hop, jazz and electronica that combines Western music with traditional Israeli music. The seven-man group's appearance in Lawrence was made possible by funding from Student Senate. Jason Oruch, Plano, Texas, student senator, wrote the bill that sponsored Hadad Nachash's visit to Lawrence. Oruch said the combination of one of Israel's most famous hip-hop groups with KU Hillel's reputation as a student group made it easy to recommend using Senate funds to pay for the event. "I personally feel that this is going to be the biggest multicultural event to ever come to campus." Oruch said. Matt Lehrman, KU Hillel program director, worked with Oruch to bring the group to Lawrence. He said Hillel members were excited to see such a famous act from Israel at the University. "Everyone is thrilled," Lehrman said. "We anticipate The Bottleneck being filled to capacity On Thursday night. It's a really unique opportunity, especially to be able to offer it for free for all students." Although the performance will be almost entirely in Hebrew, Minneapolis sophomore Joe Jaffe said the language gap didn't take away from the experience and the show's atmosphere. Jaffe said he had attended two of Hadag Nachash's shows and planned to attend on Thursday. "I think they put on a good show. It's entertaining and even though I don't understand a thing they are saying, it's still a fun show to attend." Jaffe said. Lead vocalist of Hadag Nachash, Sha'anai Streett, said most American audiences focused more on the music rather than the lyrics because very few speak Hebrew. He said the group has shunned mainstream hip-hop themes in order to focus on issues that affect the Israeli people. "Most of my lyrics are about our life in Israel and not about bitches, hoes, cars and drugs," Strett said. "A little bit of drugs, but most of the things are about politics, finance and things like that." The group has been making periodical tours throughout the United States since 2004. Streett said. Nachash's music because of the way he could communicate his message to the audience. Though the group focused primarily on funk music initially, Streett said hip-hop and rap crept into the Hadag "I was influenced by the freedom in hin-hon lyrics When: Thursday at 9 p.m. Where: The Bottleneck Price: free for students, $10 for non-students Age: 18+ that you could use, and I wasn't familiar with that in Hebrew," he said. "What what did it for me." "Snakefish" in Hebrew, but Strett said it was only a play on words without any significant meaning. Because Hadag Nachash Hadag Nachash literally means —Edited by Russell Davies of its sometimes controversial lyrics about terrorism and the Israeli way of life, Streets said the group inspired a wide range of emotion within their supporters and critics. "I know some people love us and some people hate us, but that's fine," Streett said. "Instead of going with the common denominator, we do what we believe." Lehrman said Hadag Nachash's dedication to producing socially conscious music was one aspect of the group that drew people to its work. He said it was the ideal way to begin celebrations for Israel's 60th anniversary and have a good time in the process. "It's good music, but they are really a unique act and a unique perspective on Israeli life," Lehrman said. "To be able to see them in Lawrence just kind of seals the deal. It's pretty exciting." INTERNATIONAL Cease-fire in Chad N'DIAMENA, Chad — Hundreds of civilians have died in fierce fighting between rebels and government forces in Chad's capital, Red Cross officials said Tuesday, as the insurgents agreed to a cease-fire and their momentum faded. Former colonial power France threatened to enter the fight to support the government. Chad's government told the French military it still was fighting rebels using "air power" outside of N'Djamena, the capital, according to French military spokesman Cmdr. Christophe Prazuck. Chief rebel leader Mahamat Nouri charged they were being bombarded by French Mirage jets — but France said it had not yet gone on the attack. French intervention in the past helped stave off a major rebel attack in this oil-rich country on President Idris Deby, accused by the insurgents of corruption and embezzling millions in oil revenue. Tuesday, bodies lay rotting under a tropical sun in N'Djamaena, according to a local reporter who left his home Tuesday for the first time since the rebels entered on Saturday. Corpses of more than 10 military and civilian victims were sprawled across Avenue Mobutu, a main thoroughfare. The charred hulks of two tanks and several pickup trucks, used by both sides in the fighting, littered the streets. Most downtown shops and buildings have been looted. Further from the center, the state broadcasting station and the parlament building were stripped by rampaging looters. The Presidential Palace, which backs onto the Chari River, was off limits, the entrance blocked by tanks and tree limbs. Presidential Guards patrolled outside.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2008 NEWS 5A >> SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN SINOX Ron Barrett, associate professor of aerospace engineering, was recognized as a top educator in aerospace engineering by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Students and professor conquer the sky The department of aerospace engineering won big in a national competition BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com The department of aerospace engineering is flying high after winning three national awards from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Nobuya Nishio, University of Kansas alumnus, placed first among undergraduates in the Individual Airplane Design Competition for his design of a light-sport aircraft. Roelof Vos, doctoral student, won the Abe M. Zarem Award for Aerospace Research. Ron Barrett, associate professor of aerospace engineering, was also recognized by the AIAA as a top educator in aerospace engineering. "We like to live vicariously through our students," Barrett said. "We're so proud of them." "I'm more proud of my days of challenge and effort than the award itself." Nishio, who graduated in May 2007, said he designed his plane to hold two passengers comfortably NOBUYA NISHIO University of Kansas alumnus I researched the current light-airplane market and its forecasts, and tried to find what I wanted to deliver to The finished product, named "Regulus," was a sleek tandem-winged airplane with an artistic flare. plate the design after a semester of working 30 to 40 hours a week. without sacrificing speed affordability or style. Nishio's unique design lifted his entry above those of his competitors, Barreth said. The award has already garnered Nishio extra attention at Mitsubishi Motors in Japan, where he works. "He put his heart into it and the judges saw that," he said. people," Nishio said. But Nishio said accolades for his design have not been the most rewarding part of the experience. "I'm more proud of my days of challenge and effort than the award itself," he said. Vos, who came to the University from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, won the Abe M. Zarem Award for his design of an actuator that would allow a plane's wing to imitate the movement of a bird's wing. Vos said Barrett suggested the idea for the project when he was advising Vos at Delft. "I thought, 'No, that can't be done.' That's stupid," Vos said. Despite his initial skepticism, Vos decided to tackle the project. "We put a lot of effort into it," he said. "Seeing the thing fly was a cool day." His hard work paid off when the actuator was finally tested on a remote controlled plane. Though Barrett said Nishio's and Vos' designs would not hit production lines any time soon, he was still optimistic about the students' achievements. Vos' actuator, when applied to a small unmanned aircraft, allowed the plane's wings to twist and bend according to airflow, giving the pilot a greater degree of flight control. "I may not see it in my lifetime, but my kids will and my grandkids will," Barrett said. Built of a material that condenses or expands according to an electrical pulse, the actuator proved lighter, more efficient, and able to transmit information about 11 times faster than the conventional actuator used in many planes. These advantages have motivated some students at Delft, Vos' former university, to consider applying the actuator to wind turbines. Vos' actuator could react quickly enough to counteract tiny vibrations in a turbine's blades and could help conserve five percent of the turbine's overall energy output. Barrett said the technology could also be adapted and installed in passenger plane wings to act like shock absorbers and combat in-flight turbulence. - Edited by Patrick De Oliveira CAMPUS Numbers low, satisfaction high in academic advising survey BY BRENNA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com The ballots have been counted, the beans have been separated and the votes have been tallied, and the results say KU students are happy with their advising experience. --across Kansas. More than 2,500 students responded. At the University of Kansas, the survey was sent via e-mail to 19,699 students, and 1,396 students, or 7 percent, replied. The Student Advisory Committee to the Board of Regents carried out the survey on the orders of the Board of Regents. He thought the survey might not have been representative of the whole student body. The survey was administered to university students "The people who responded to the survey were the go-getters." Tretter said. "They're the ones who seek out advising." "The people who responded to the survey were the go-getters.

Burright said she didn't know why the survey had been ordered, but she thought students could utilize their advisers better. Diann Burright, associate director "Students should view enrollment as more of a process and should visit throughout the semester," Burright said. Earl Brooks, Topeka senior, visited the center for help figuring out his credits when he transferred from Kansas State University. He said he went more than once, and some advisers were more knowledgeable than others. He said it was better for students to talk to an adviser who had extensive knowledge about their degree track rather than a general adviser.

"The city smells better without a bunch of drunken kids using every doorway as a toilet." Kevin Kelly, who lives on the parade route, said the crowds did seem quieter. It was too early for college students on spring break to join the party, Kelly pointed out. The celebration appears to have bounced back strongly since Katrina flooded more than 80 percent of the city. Mardi Gras crowd estimates hovered around 1 million in the years before w, and the crowd reached about 800,000 last year. This year, however, some worried turnout would be lighter because the celebration fell so early. Kim Disselliss, 49, simply taped a sign to her back showing Sen.

Among the men dressed in pink baby-doll paiamas or leather loincloths and the women flashing glimpses of flesh for beads were some whose costumes had political themes. Louisiana voters don't head to the polls until Saturday, so many let their costumes make political statements on a day when 24 other states were holding presidential primaries and caucuses. Mardi Gras — also known as Fat Tuesday — is the end of the pre-Lenten Carnival season.

NEW ORLEANS — Fat Tuesday and Super Tuesday collared on the streets of the French Quarter, where revelers added a distinctly political flavor to the city's annual raucous bash. Temperatures were expected to rise to about the record of 81 degrees in New Orleans, an indicator that flesh-flashing in the bawdy French Quarter was likely to be greater than usual. Crowds that had begun staking out spots on the parade routes as early as Friday night spent the day collecting beads and other trinkets thrown from floats.

Users who register with the Web site can post their own videos for anyone who visits the Web site to see. Also like YouTube, the site allows users to add other users as friends, gather videos into a playlist, and join groups with other users. Sweat said these features were added to make the site a social networking tool. A new Web site has emerged with hopes of becoming the top source for college videos, but some videos on the site may have been posted illegally. "We're trying to provide an atmosphere for college fans to express themselves as freely as they can," Theumiversitytube.com president Ashley Sweat said. "We feel we're providing a place to do that through video." Sweat said that he wanted the site to encompass all types of college-related videos. Theuniversitytube.com was started in November and has already expanded to compile Internet videos for 124 universities, each with its own Web page. One of the users has posted televised broadcasts of Kansas athletic events on the Web site. The user, 13Hawk, has posted games from this year and previous years, including the 2008 Orange Bowl and Kansas men's basketball game against Marquette in the 2003 Final Four. "In the future we want frats on campus and drama clubs on campus posting their event and plays." Sweat said. "And marketing students can post their marketing videos from class and share those with other schools." But for the time being, sports-related videos dominate most universities' Web pages. Videos on the University of Kansas' page include the Rock Chalk Chant in Allen Fieldhouse and a Kansas State fan singing "Tm a lajahawk" after losing a bet on the 2007 Sunflower Showdown football game. Many universities' sites have videos taken from ESPN.com. The videos are clips from various ESPN television programs that the network allows users to post online using embed codes. The user, who asked not to be named for fear of legal ramifications, said that he did it for friends who couldn't see the game in other parts of the world. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said that Kansas didn't own the rights to any of the posted games, but said that he didn't like the idea of the video being posted online without "I did it for my wife's friend who's stationed in Iraq and for family in Colorado who are out of the range for the KU games," the user said. A representative from CBS said that the network would look further into the possible legal problems with the Web site. Representatives from ESPN and the Big 12 Conference did not return phone calls from The Kansan. He claimed that copyright laws extended to rebroadcasting the games for personal gain. He said that he was fine because he didn't receive anything for posting the games online. Michael Hoefflich, professor of law, said that even though Hawk13 didn't gain anything from posting the videos, he still violated copyright laws. "It may be stretching the laws a bit, but I'll be fine" he said. K proper consent from the owners. "I don't know if they have licenses for this, but if they don't, that's bad," Marchiony said. "I don't like to see people's property being used for purposes that they have not approved of. I just think there's something inherently wrong with that." Sweat said that he was seeking advice to make sure that the Web site was following copyright laws, but he personally felt the site was doing nothing wrong. According to Theuniversitytube, com's user code of conduct, users are not allowed to post "illegal or unauthorized copies of copyrighted work." The policy also says that users are responsible for the material they post. Hoefflich said that it was doubtful that the terms in the code of conduct would keep Theuniversitytube.com legally safe. "We're not out to break laws," Sweat said. "The whole premise behind the network is to provide a clean atmosphere for university fans to express themselves."

Hawks KANSAS Grass is getting greener for Greensburg Town to begin environmentally-conscious construction next month BY JENNIFER TORLINE editor@kansan.com A group of 22 KU students will help rebuild a greener Greensburg. The project is a part of a Discovery Channel documentary that is filming in the western Kansas town that was obliterated in May by a tornado. The students are expected to arrive in Greensburg in March. Filming has been ongoing for several months and the series is tentatively scheduled to appear next fall, Ballard said. The 13-part series, titled "Eco-Town," is being produced by actor Leonardo DiCaprio's company, Appian Way Productions, said Chris Ballard, the treasurer for the Greensburg Center for the Arts. Ballard said that the documentary would depict the rebuilding of Greensburg as the world's first environmentally-friendly town. "I hope it's really focused on the efforts of rebuilding," said Sarah Boedeker, an Edwardsville, Ill., architecture graduate student. "It's good to show that KU is educating people about things that are really important." Architecture graduate students in Studio 804, a program led by Dan Rockhill professor architecture, are designing and constructing a sustainable building that they hope will be used as a fine arts center. "We saw it as an opportunity to help a neighborhood in Kansas rebuild," said Jenny Kevitt, a Victoria architecture graduate student. Members of Studio 804 started planning on Jan. 3 and set a goal for the building to become certified according to the Leadership in LEED certified buildings use recyclable materials such as bamboo cabinets and, in this case, reclaimed wood from the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant southeast of Lawrence. The fine arts center will include environmentally-friendly systems such as solar panels, a wind turbine and a gutter system that recaptures storm water. The building will also have grass on the roof, which acts as insulation. Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. "The environmentally-friendly systems provide an opportunity for us to showcase what can be done to buildings that will help us be responsible citizens," said Ballard. When the students deconstructed the Sunflower Plant building on Jan. 9, several filmmakers taped and interviewed students for the documentary. "I've always thought that if I was interviewed on camera, I would be really nervous," Kivett said. "But I'm just telling them what is going on in my life." This week, students will begin constructing the fine arts building in Lawrence. They will build it in seven pieces that will be shipped to Greensburg. The students will spend a month in Greensburg putting it together on site. The students hope to have the building completed by May 4, the one-year anniversary of the tornado. "I hope that it will help us to build a better town," Ballard said, "a better area and a better world through providing a positive example."

The U.S. military said a gunbattle broke out after the troops came under small-arms fire by two suspected terrorists. It acknowledged a woman was killed and a child was wounded, but said it was not clear who shot them. Two other men were killed and the military described them as insurgents. Americans against al-Qaida in Iraq. The mistaken shootings threaten to jeopardize the fragile relationship between the Americans and their new Sunni partners. The killings illustrate the increasing difficulty in identifying the enemy as the nature of the U.S.-led war in Iraq has changed. Many former insurgents and tribal leaders have joined forces with the It was the second time in as many days that the U.S. military conceded involvement in the death of Iraqi civilians, On Monday, the military said it had accidentally killed nine Iraqi civilians, including a child, in an airstrike Saturday targeting al-Qaida in Iraq south of Baghdad. American and Iraqi commanders say the Sunni uprising has helped drive al-Qaida from the belts around Baghdad and forced extremists to hunt for new havens in northern Iraq. As areas have been cleared, more evidence of the brutality of the terror network has been uncovered U. S.-backed tribesmen discovered about 50 bodies Tuesday in a mass grave in a former al-Qaida stronghold of Jazeerah near Lake Tharthar, northwest of Baghdad where hundreds of bodies have been unearthed in recent months, said Col. Mazin Younis Hussein, commander of a Samarra police unit. A suicide bomber also struck the convoy of a sheik working with U.S. forces Tuesday in Taji, 12 miles north of Baghdad, killing two, police and the sheik said. In a separate development, a new Iraqi flag — without the three green stars of Saddam Hussein's ousted Baath party — was hoisted Tuesday over the Iraqi Cabinet building in Baghdad in a symbolic break with the past. THE UNIVERSITY OF DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2008 NEWS 7A Technology on the move ResNet moves from McCollum, plans to add amenities BY LIZ SCHUBAUER editor@kansan.com Think of it as the trek of the tech: student technology services move into the Burge Union. ResNet, which provides Internet service for student housing, moved to the Burge from McCollum Hall over winter break. Last Monday, an information technology desk opened. The technology services moved to the Burge Union this semester in hopes that the Burge's location near the Anschutz Sports Pavilion will make the services more accessible for students. Next fall, students will see a Pulse coffee shop, new furniture and 10 to 15 high-end computer workstations, in addition to the help desk. The workstations will feature software for photo and video editing. A large screen plasma or LCD TV will be added to a conference room. Students also will be able to check out laptops, digital cameras and digital camcorders. "Hopefully it'll be a new destination for folks," said Bill Myers, director of assessment and outreach for information services. The added services are located on the second floor of the Burge and include wireless Internet and a lounge area. A conference room is also available for student use. started about a year ago after art supplies moved out of the Burge bookstore and into the Art and Design Building, providing room for the technology expansion. "Computer centers across the country have become more amenities-laden," said David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions. Myers said talk about moving technology services to the Burge A $30,000 construction project, funded by IT and ResNet, reduced the size of the bookstore and added the help desk and lounge. While located in McCollum, IT only had a help desk in the Computer Center across from the Dole Center. The help desk in the Computer Center will remain open. The services' hours are still being decided, but the lounge area can be accessed whenever the Hawk Shop is open because the Hawk Shop, bookstore and lounge are all connected. —Edited by Madeline Hyden Release of abortion records on hold TOPEKA — The Kansas Supreme Court temporarily blocked a Sedgwick County grand jury's access Tuesday to patient records from abortion provider Dr. George Tiller. BY CARL MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS The grand jury is investigating whether Tiller, one of the nations few late-term abortion providers, has broken Kansas laws restricting abortion. The grand jury subpoenaed medical files of about 2,000 women, including some who decided against abortions and information about current and former employees and referring physicians. Tiller's attorneys asked the Supreme Court to quash the grand jury's three subpoenas, and the court agreed to block their enforcement until it considers the issue. The court set a Feb.11 deadline Chief Justice Kay McFarland also said Tiller's challenge raises "significant issues" about patients' privacy and a grand jury's power to subpoena records. for the judges to file any objection to the court's action. "Abortion opponents forced Sedgwick County to convene the grand jury by submitting petitions. Kansas is one of six states that permits citizens to petition to create a grand jury. Abortion opponents accuse Tiller of violating a 1998 law restricting late-term abortion. Tiller's clinic has not started handing over patient records. The edited patient records would not have the women's names, but they would have patient-identification numbers. Tiller's attorneys claimed in court last week that in an earlier investigation, former Attorney General Phill Kline was able to track down patients' names using the identifving numbers. A spokesman for Kline, who is now Johnson County district attorney, denied that any patients had ever been identified. Tiller's attorneys told Buchanan that if Kline could use that information to identify patients, then someone else could as well. Kline eventually filed 30 misdemeanor charges against Tiller before leaving office last year, only to see the case dismissed for jurisdictional reasons. The grand jury is seeking all health care records of patients who aborted a fetus determined to be 22 weeks or older from July 1, 2003, through Jan. 18 at Tiller's clinic, Women's Health Care Services. The grand jury also wants the health care records of patients who did not have abortions but were at least 22 weeks pregnant when they consulted with a physician at the clinic. Al-Qaida remains U.S. threat ... A Pakistan Army soldier sits on an armored vehicle as he monitors the area of Matta near Mangora, the main town of Pakistani district Swat along the Afghan border, on Sunday. Pakistan reiterated that it will not allow U.S. forces to hunt down al-Qaida and Taliban militants on its soil, after a news report said that Washington was considering to allow covert U.S. military and intelligence operations against Islamic quarrelists in Pakistan's tribal regions. BY PAMELA HESS ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Al-Qaida is establishing cells in other countries as Osama bin Laden's organization uses Pakistan's tribal region to train for attacks in Afghanistan, the Middle East, Africa and the United States, the U.S. intelligence chief said Tuesday. The al-Qaida network in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan has suffered setbacks, but he said the group poses a persistent and growing danger. "Al-Qaida remains the pre-eminent threat against the United States," Mike McConnell told a Senate hearing. McConnell said while the level of violence in Iraq has dropped sharply since last year, it is going to be years before Iraq is stable. The Pakistani tribal areas provide al-Qaida a safe haven similar to what it enjoyed in Afghanistan before the war, but on a smaller and less secure scale, McConnell told the Senate Intelligence Committee. The next attack on the United States will most likely be launched by al-Qaida operating in those "undergoverned regions" of Pakistan, Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, planned to tell Congress on Wednesday. FBI Director Robert Mueller, said al-Qaida continues to present a "critical threat to the homeland" and warned that "homegrown terrorists" inspired by al-Qaida's propaganda on the Internet拥提a threat as well. Still, McConnell lauded Pakistan's cooperation, saying that more than 1,300 Pakistani died fighting terrorists or in terrorist attacks in 2007. He said Islamabad has done more to "neutralize" terrorists than any other partner of the United States. Despite the cooperation, Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said the Pakistani military has been unable to disrupt or damage al-Qaida terrorists operating in the tribal border region. And the U.S. military is prohibited by Pakistan from pursuing Taliban and al-Qaida fighters that cross the border to conduct attacks inside Afghanistan. CIA Director Michael Hayden publicly confirmed for the first time the names of three suspected al-Qaida terrorists who were subjected to a harsh interrogation technique known as waterboarding, and why. Hayden said that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — the purported mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States — and Abu Zubayah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri were subject to the interrogations in 2002 and 2003. Waterboarding induces a feeling of imminent drowning. The subject is restrained with mouth covered and water poured over the face. Mukasey recently told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he could only render an opinion on whether waterboarding is torture if he knew the circumstances of each situation. Congress may restrict the CIA to using only interrogation techniques that are approved by the military, which do not include waterboarding and other harsh measures. Hayden said the CIA will comply with whatever rules are laid down, but warned that such restrictions will endanger the country. SUPER SEAFOOD SALE!! LIMITED QUANTITIES. HURRY IN WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!

No matter how much we've been mocked for watching a show that seemingly spends more time revealing the sexual escapades of its characters than showing events related to its hospital setting. I know that like me, you still love it. Maybe even for that reason. If my Addicted to Grey's Anatomy application on Facebook with more than 600,000 members is any indication, I'm not the only one out there in love with the show. I'veheardyou in theUnderground, talking over Chick-fil-A sandwiches about the latest upset between Meredith and Derek. I mean really, when will she just commit? What more could she want in a hot neurosurgeon? Yet we won't be hearing anything new about Meredith and Derek for a while. As anyone who hasn't been in a coma for the last few months knows there's a writer's strike going on, or maybe you gasp, actually spend your free time productively rather than watching T.V. So for those of you who aren't aware, while the writers continue to hold picket signs rather than pens, most shows that have run out of previously written episodes, like "Grey's," are managing on re-runs. Although I support the writer's strike and the reasons behind it, with "Grey's" on re-runs I've started to crave something, anything new. So, I have added to my typical "Grey's Anatomy" Thursdays by watching the shows preceding and following it. "Ugly Betty," a show about an unglamorous, but optimistic girl trying to fit in with the world of high fashion can't quite compare to "Grey's," but is a nice prelude, fitting in well with my girl's night theme. However, right after "Grey's Anatomy," while I'm still on my girlly show high, comes the show "Big Shots." I don't know what ABC mastermind thought that a show about four CEOs who do little but play golf and talk about their problems with women would fit in with the "Grey's Anatomy" crowd, but her or she was wrong. Viewers seem to agree. According to tvbythenumbers.com, after "Grey's Anatomy" finishes and "Big Shots" comes on viewers significantly drop. On Thursday, January 24 for example, "Grey's Anatomy" had about 7 million viewers, but when "Big Shots" came on viewers dropped to about 5 million. Despite criticism, mediocre shows on the same night and lately, constant reruns, we still watch "Grey's". Maybe we like this show for more than the constantly changing sexual adventures of its characters after all. At least I know where I'll be Thursday night, on my couch at 6:59, counting down the seconds to another delicious episode of "Grey's Anatomy." Hudson is a Wichita Junior in journalism and business. THE EDITORIAL BOARD Last chance for students to speak against inn OREAD INN 2.6.2008 Tyler Doehring On Feb 12 the Lawrence City Commission could remove the Oread Inn's final road block The fight to maintain the status quo in Lawrence has been grim. Recent motions towards paving wetlands and constructing a second Wal-Mart have marked harsh defeats in both of these multi-year battles. Yet among these there is a relatively new and rapidly progressing plan in the Oread Inn, whose dissidents are just now starting to really speak up, even though it is quickly becoming too late to stop. Unlike the aforementioned controversies, which have been held up in courts and public forums for substantial periods of time, this plan has flown through its planning phases in the past few months with comparatively little fuss. The plan has received so little attention from students in fact, that prior to a recent Student Senate bill, the only knowledge most people would have about the Inn likely came from the closing night blow-out at former student watering hole, the Crossing, late last semester. Though it apparently didn't have much of an effect, as less than two months later that Student Senate bill, written to express the student body's dissatisfaction with the construction plans, was voted down 22-30. But with the plans mostly approved, and the requisite businesses shut down, there are few opportunities left for those opposed to delay the plan before it becomes fully operational. The most important of these opportunities is a City Commission meeting on February $12^{\mathrm{th}}$ to discuss the use of Tax Increment Financing, or TIF, in funding the construction of the Inn and the infrastructure therein. And this financing would be crucial as, according to the Lawrence Journal World, the construction company handling the Inn has said it could not continue without the TIF. So for any of the apparent multitudes opposed based on aesthetics, students' interests or the ol' Lawrence Spirit, the meeting on February 12 is the last real opportunity to articulate the arguments against the Oread Inn, that have been gently mumbled to this point. COMMENTARY No rest for the wicked,religious HAUS HAILEY OSTERHAUS Yet, there needs to be an increase in respect for people who lead a religious life. I don't understand why people look down on those that try to improve themselves by following Biblical examples, which sure, they might not be fact or there may be no God, but what's wrong with striving to improve oneself with religious approaches? Congratulations. It looks like if you're not religious, you're a part of the "in crowd." claims himself or herself an agnostic or atheist. Over and over, I've heard the classic story of the person who was brought up Catholic, and then later, In the early years of grade school, I actually wanted to become a nun. I remember in first grade I rode the bus for an hour to school every morning, and to pass the time, I prayed the rosary. I was infatuated with Catholicism, and I was determined to go to church every Sunday, too. If I didn't, my grandmother said that Jesus would cry. So I went to mass, I prayed, and after a while, I became an agnostic, but not to keep up with a trend. In fact, I'm living proof of this. Many nonbelievers have personal stories about why they choose not to participate in religion, but I feel that some, if not most, have a pretentious way of delivering their views. This can also be taken at the opposite angle when Christians, or people of any faith, force their religious views upon others, but I've come to know more arrogant atheists than pompous Christians. If someone bravely admits that he or she is religious, he is she gets negative reactions from the James Dean esque atheists and agnostics who say, "You are? That's lame," or "Why the hell would you submit yourself to that?" I asked a fellow student if he went to church, and to my amazement, he sheepishly answered 'yes' like he was ashamed to tell me he actually had a spiritual side to him. It broke me heart to see this, and I knew instantly, that this was very wrong. No one should ever be embarrassed when sharing beliefs with others. Why the hell not? I recently observed a Christian church called Vintage Church at the Lawrence Art Center at 940 New Hampshire St. The structure of the sermon was extremely modern. I was greeted by a huge group of incredibly warm and accepting Christians. They opened with a talented band playing religious songs that I actually enjoyed listening to. (It was no Radiohead, In Rainbows but nevertheless enjoyable). Then, the preacher said that he was happy to receive the company of those who came to explore their church. As he spoke, there were no implications of what was fashionable concerning religion. He was simply saying that the church welcomed anyone, even if they didn't have a relationship with God. When the hour was finished, I decided this church was open-minded and tolerant, the way that everyone should be. I really hope that some day people will become more accepting of religious and non-religious views. Yes, it's wishful thinking, but hope and faith are beautiful things, no matter where one chooses to place them in their lives. Now, to all you "trendy" people out there, can I get an Amen?

The party was forced to divide the caucus at Abe and Jake's into two caucuses because of the unexpected number of people. BEST SELLER BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com Only 1,300 Kansas Democrats attended the Democratic caucuses in the 2004 presidential election, according to the Kansas Democratic Party. Last night, more than 4,000 Democrats caucused in Lawrence alone. Kathy Greenteen, chair of the Abe and Jake's Landing caucus, said the Democratic Party did not anticipate the number of people who showed up to caucus. Charles Jones, caucus chair at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, said it had been more than 20 years since he had seen a Democratic caucus as large as the one at the fairgrounds. "I remember maybe in the 80s we had a caucus that mattered but nothing like this," Jones said. The party was forced to divide the caucus that was being held at Abe & Jake's into two caucuses because of the unexpected number of people who showed up. The party had to send more than five hundred Democrats to Liberty Hall to participate in a joint Abe & Jakes/Liberty Hall caucus. Liberty Hall was originally a caucus location. Only Clinton and Obama rallied enough supporters to receive delegates.

The party has had success on those occasions as well and the party enjoys holding events there. Doug and Shirley Hitt, Lawrence residents, said they attended the caucus in Lawrence in 2004. They said the 2004 caucus was much smaller. Shirley said they were held in three rooms at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and 100 people at most were in their room. "it's good to see so many people show up," Shirley said. "It seems like people have been pretty apathetic about politics. It seems like people really do want change." The Hits said they voted for Kucinich in 2004 but that they caucuised for Obama last night. "Boy that was a hard one," Doug said. "I felt like if McCain is the opponent, Barack would draw more of the independent vote." Mike Causely, Lawrence resident and Dennis Kucinch supporter, said the Democratic Party would need more unity to beat Senator John McCain in the presidential election, and Democrats at yesterday evening's Douglas County caucuses agreed. They thought the party needed more unity in the future to have a successful caucus, let alone win the presidential election. Shylo Bundy, Lawrence junior, said the caucus did not turn out how she expected. She said the Kansas Democratic Party Web site was unclear about what would take place at the caucus. She said that the caucus at Abe and Jake's was unorganized. Colin Pates, Lawrence senior, said he had never been to a caucus and thought the caucus was a waste of time. He said it was clear the majority of people who came to caucus supported Obama. "it's kind of strange. There's just a lot of people standing around," Bundy said. "I think they should have had it somewhere bigger. I don't think they really expected a lot of people to caucus." It was not just Douglas County Democrats who were left waiting in the cold, Greenlee said at 9 p.m. in Overland Park there were still 1,000 people waiting to caucus and that the police were helping control them. He said at that location of the party required them to hold the caucus in shifts. When the numbers came in it was Obama who swept the Lawrence caucuses, Clinton did not have any delegates at the Abe & Jake's and Liberty Hall caucus until several minutes before the caucus ended. Teresa Simms, who spoke on behalf of Barack Obama at the Abe & Jake's caucus, said one of the best aspects of Obama was that he was raised by a Kanan. "I wish they would have just been like, 'It's Obama? All right?' Because it was pretty obvious," Pates said. "To me, being a first time person here, it seemed like it was a little disorganized, but maybe that is just the way caucuses are." Kansan staff members Alex Parker and Jessica Wicks contributed to this story. "In my opinion, it's gonna take a Kansan to clean up after the Bush administration," Simms said.

The race for the Big 12 title has reached the halfway point for some teams. Kansas (7-1) is on top, ahead of K-State (5-1). The Wildcats beat the Jayhawks last week, but Kansas is ahead because it has played two more games. --- The rest of the group isn't too far behind. Texas is in third at 4-2. Baylor has an identical record, but the Longhorns hold the breacher over the Bears. Texas A&M (4-3) and Oklahoma (3-3) round up the top six. "If I'm not mistaken there's two teams with one loss, and several with two," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "So, it's going to get interesting." Now, the competition level has risen. Oklahoma and Kansas State have rode top freshmen to get to their spot near the top. Baylor has just slowly improved under the direction of coach Scott Drew. Those three teams, along with Kansas, Texas A&M and Texas, make the conference better than it has been since 2003, when two Big 12 teams made the Final Four. The improvement in the league can be seen in its RPI. The Big 12 is the third ranked conference in those ratings, which play a major role in getting in the NCAA Tournament. Self is probably right about that. All of the teams in the top six are solid and have opportunities to finish in first. You couldn't say that last year. A season ago, Kansas, Texas A&M and Texas were significantly better than everyone. They finished at least two games ahead of the nearest competitor. With all the competition and parity, there is not a clear-cut favorite to win the conference. That's why The Kansan is trying to predict what will happen. Here are the odds of each team winning the Big 12. SEE BIG 12 ON PAGE 6B These Big 12 teams should just start planning for next year. 7. Texas Tech— Pat Knight is no Bob Knight. 8. Missouri— Maybe Mike Anderson should suspend more players. It seems like his team plays better that way. T --- 9.

COMMENTARY Recruiting class rank not a big deal BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com A random Kansas football fan is going to stumble across ESPN today and see the Jayhawk's 2008 recruiting class ranked in the mid-30s or lower during a Signing Day wrap up show. That fan is going to be disappointed/angered/annoyed that Mark Mangino couldn't attract a higher rated class to Lawrence after a 12-win season and Orange Bowl victory. Mangino has earned my trust. He gave us a mountain of empirical evidence last year to question the validity of the rankings; winning Don't let it be you. stats Jayhawks National Recruiting Ranking the Orange Bowl with a roster full of lightly recruited prospects. *Not yet official —Rivals.com 2008—37 2007—50 2006—38 2005—48 2004—51 2003—39 2002—58 He is the smartest guy in the room. Parallels can be drawn between Mangino, Oakland As general manager Billy Beane, and New England coach Bill Belicheck. Beane, the subject of the book "Moneyball," taught the baseball establishment a new way to win. Operating in a small market, Beane focused on acquiring players whose actual value wasn't recognized by the free market. Belicheck was able to do the same in his early years with the Patriots. His first Super Bowl championship in New England had a roster full of late-drafted players and discards from other squads. Of the same ilk, Mangino has eschewed normal modes of evaluation, in this case large recruiting bases, and trusted the ability of his coaching staff to spot talented players that fall through the cracks. In other words, a two-star recruit isn't always a two-star recruit. Aqib Talib, Anthony Collins, Joe Mortensen, Dexton Fields, Ryan Cantrell, Russell Brorsen and Chris Harris (who started most of this season as a freshman defensive back) are a few of the two-star recruits that Mangino rode to the Orange Bowl. There are more. When Bill Parcels left the New England Patriots for the New York Jets in 1997, he cited a lack of control over personnel decisions, famously saying, "If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries." Working at the University of Kansas, Mangino has never had great facilities or program prestige to sell to elite prospects, but he does have full control over his personnel. As such, nobody in the nation is better at filling their shopping cart full of Salisbury steak and still serving SEE NYSTROM ON PAGE 6B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Despite 15th most difficult schedule Jayhawks have postseason hopes BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com In its nonconference schedule, the Jayhawks faced eight teams currently ranked in the top 90 for RPI according to the site, including California and Hartford at 11 and 31, respectively.

"I just want to thank the committee, the staff that I just met with. They were very courteous," Clemens said after emerging from the offices of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "It was great to be able to tell them what I've been saying all along — that I've never used steroids or growth hormone," the seven-time Cy Young Award winner said. Clemens, wearing a pinstriped gray suit instead of a pinstriped New York Yankees uniform, did not take questions from reporters. The 45-year-old pitcher ranks eightth in major league history with 354 career wins. He put off retirement yet again in 2007, returning to the Yankees in June and going 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA. Clemens' closed-door, sworn testimony on Capitol Hill came one day after his Yankees teammate and workout partner, Andy Pettitte, gave a deposition to committee staff for 21/2 hours. Both players' interviews are part of preparation for a Feb. 13 hearing, a public session expected to focus on allegations made in the Mitchell Report by trainer Brian McNamee that he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with human growth hormone and steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001.

Summers made eight of 13 field goals, including 4-of-8 3-pointers, and had nine rebounds to lead the Hoyas (19-2, 9-1 Big East) to their sixth straight win and 18th in a row at home. No.15 Drake 73 Illinois State 70 NORMAL, IL. — Josh Young scored all but one of his 18 points in the second half, and Drake used a 17-2 run to secure its 20th straight victory, the second longest-winning streak in the nation. Illinois State had a chance to tie in the closing seconds, after Jacob Barycnebh hit one of two free throws with 11 seconds left. But Levi Dyer missed a long 3-pointer, Osiris Eldridge missed a putback, and Drake escaped. the HIGH/LOW Coaches, players noticing freshmen talent across the Big 12 this season BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Michael Beasley had just played the biggest game of his life. The 6-foot-10 freshman had just led Kansas State to its first home victory against Kansas in 24 years, and now, Beasley's mouth was full of chicken. For two hours against Kansas, Beasley looked like a grown man on the basketball court. Now, off the court, he finally looked like an 18-year-old. Beasley – who turns 19 on Saturday – could hardly contain himself. He smiled, giggled and nibbled on the chicken fingers in front of him. "These are good," he said to fellow freshman Bill Walker. Just watch the player that Bill Self called "maybe the best player in the country" for a few moments off the court, and one thing is apparent: In the Big 12, youth is being served. Freshmen are dominating across the board in the Big 12 this season, and with half of Kansas' conference games complete, Self has taken notice. "You can just go down the line on these guys that are stepping in and making an impact," Self said on Monday during his weekly conference call. It starts with Beasley. The Wildcat freshman is leading the conference at 24.9 points per game, and leading the country with 12.3 rebounds per game. Together with Walker - who is averaging 15.8 rebounds - Beasley has led K-State to their best Big 12 start since the inception of the league in 1996. In any other year, Oklahoma freshman Blake Griffin would be getting most of the headlines reserved for Beasley and Walker. Griffin is $11^{\mathrm{th}}$ in the conference in scoring at 14.3 points per game, and $4^{\mathrm{th}}$ in rebounding at 8.7 rebounds per game. Baylor's Scott Drew witnessed Griffin in action last week. Griffin's sooners beat Drew's Bears 77-71. "There's a reason he projected a lottery pick whenever he comes out." Drew said Monday during his weekly conference call. For someone as strong as he is with his athleticism, it makes it very tough to guard." The list goes on. Iowa State freshman Craig Brackins scored 33 points earlier this season against Baylor. Baylor's own freshman, LaceDarius Dunn has been a key contributor to its turnaround. Texas A&M's 7-foot freshman, DeAndre Jordan has caused match-up nightmares for opposing coaches. And then there's Oklahoma State's James Anderson - who averaging 14.8 points per game. Texas coach Rick Barnes said he spoke with former Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton earlier this season. Barnes said that Sutton told him that he thought Anderson had a chance to be one of the best players in Oklahoma State history. Drew said that the influx of talented youngsters has made the league stronger. "You can go down the list to every team." Drew said. "Most have a freshman having a major impact on their team." Self watched former Texas Longhorn Kevin Durant light up Kansas twice last season as a freshman. Durant's teammate, D.J. Augustin, had an good season as well. And at times last season, then freshmen Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur were the best players on a Kansas team, which advanced to the Elite Eight. Still, Self said this year's freshman class might top last year's group. "This year, I would rank right up there with last year." Self said.

James added 12 assists, nine rebounds and five steals to pace the Cavaliers, who improved to 15-4 since Dec. 25 and handed the NBA's best road team just its fifth loss away from home. Cleveland also beat the Celtics in overtime on Nov. 27. Zydrunas ligauskae added 21 points, Larry Hughes had 18 and seldom-used Ira Newbie had 15 for Cleveland. Also, guard Daniel Gibson made a big steal in the final minute to help the Cavs hang on. Ray Allen scored 24 points and Paul Pierce 19 for the Celtics, who were again without Kevin Garnett. The All-Star center missed his fourth straight game with an abdominal strain sustained on Jan. 25. INDIANAPOLIS — Tim Duncan dominated the middle and San Antonio's stingy second-half defense turned a close game into a rout. Danny Granger led the Pacers with 16 points, not nearly enough to halt Indiana's season-high seven game losing streak. Duncan had 19 points and 15 rebounds, and backup guard Jacque Vaughn scored 16 points off the bench. By the time it ended, the Spurs had outscored Indiana 18-2, building an insumountable 77-61 lead with 4:18 to go. Indiana shot 67.6 percent from the field in the first half, but settled for a 59-all tie. Indiana opened the third quarter shooting 1-of-11, a lapse that allowed San Antonio to open the quarter on an 8-0 run.

Rutgers defeated unbeaten and top-ranked UConn 73-71. Prince finished with 33 points. ASSOCIATED PRESS PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Epiphanny Prince scored 27 of her career-high 33 points in the second half and No. 7 Rutgers handed top-ranked Connecticut its first loss of the season, 73-71 on Tuesday night.

Kansas (22-1, 7-1) Brandon Rush acknowledged that Kansas caught a big break when Kansas State lost to Missouri on Saturday. He was right. Now, Kansas has the best opportunity of any team to win the big 12. The Jayhawks have four KU big games left on the schedule. They play Baylor at home, at Texas, at Texas A&M and against K-State at home. Kansas needs to beat the Wildcats to nullify the tiebreaker they currently own. The Jayhawks should also win against Texas or Texas A&M to seal their spot on top of the Big 12. Two weeks ago, when Kansas was dominating conference foes, it would seem like a guarantee that the Jayhawks could win both of those games. Now, who knows? Kansas needs to increase its defensive pressure to return to its fold form. If the Jayhawks do that, they'll win the Big 12. 2. Texas (17-4, 4-2) Believe it or not, the Texas Longhorses have been flying under the radar. With Kansas' 20-0 start, K-State's resurgence and Baylor's improbable turnaround, Texas has been the forgotten team during the last two weeks. Part of that is the Longhoms own fault of course. Texas was pummeled 97-84 at Missouri in its first conference game, and they didn't show up against Texas A&M either, losing 80-63. But don't forget, this is a team that won at UCLA and beat Tennessee by 19 points. Their schedule is daunting. They host Kansas and Texas A&M, and travel to Oklahoma, Kansas State and Baylor. Yikes. Fortunately, Texas sophomore D.J. Augustin might be the best player in the Big 12 not named Michael Beasley. The silky sophomore is averaging 19.9 points per game and passes the ball to teammates. If Texas can win on the road, and beat K-State in Manhattan, they'll be sitting in second place in the Big 12 by season's end. the Wildcats would probably have to beat Kansas and only lose one 3. Kansas State (15-5, 5-1) Odds: 3.51 Odds - 3.5:1 After Kansas lost to the Wildcats last week, Bill Sell said K-State was in the "driver's seat" for the Big 12 title. Not anymore. 4. Texas A&M (18-4, 4-3) Odds - 5:1 First year head coach and former K-State C other game the rest of the way. That's probably not going to happen. K-State shouldn't have lost to Missouri last week. For one, the Tigers were playing at less than full strength. Plus. Mizzu is just not that good. The loss moved the Wildcats to second place, where they currently reside. Now they face a big challenge to get back into first. Kansas Jayhawk, MarkTurgeon, has Their upcoming schedule includes three major games at Baylor, at Kansas and at home against Texas. K-State also has to play Iowa State and Nebraska on the road. Neither of those games will be easy, either. To win the conference, ATM had a chaotic first season in College Station, Texas. The Aggies started 15-1, and Aggie fans were already starting to forget the name of Billy Gillippe – the former Texas A&M coach who moved to Kentucky in the offseason. The honeymoon was short-lived. Texas A&M started 1-3 in the Big 12, including a five-overtime loss to Baylor, and Turgeon started getting testy. "I'm in a no-flipping-win situation this year, and that puts me in a bad mood," Turgeon said to the hometown reporters after his rocky start. "I've got no chance this year. If we win, it's because of Gillispie. If we lose, it's because of Mark Turgeon. So I can't win," he said. Fortunately for the Aggies, things have calmed down a bit, and Texas A&M has won three straight. The Aggies still have important road games at Texas and Baylor and a home matchup with Kansas, but they should be able to settle in and make the NCAA tournament with a fourth place Big 12 finish. 5. Oklahoma (15-6, 3-3) Odds - 8:1 Blake Griffin's knee injury couldn't have come at a better time. The Oklahoma freshman forward hurt his knee during a loss to Kansas. The Sooners would have probably lost the game even if he was healthy. Then, it got even better. Okla-homa happened to have OU its by week, where it only played one game in a 12-day period. The Sooners won that game, and then Griffin returned to beat Baylor. Oklahoma's lucky schedule kept it in the thick of the Big 12 race. The Sooners probably won't win the conference, but they have a great opportunity to finish in the top four. But to do that, they have to beat Texas at home tonight. This is a big game. Oklahoma has to play Texas and Texas Tech on the road later and winning home games is an absolute must to do well in this conference. 6. Baylor (16-4, 4-2) Odds - 20:1 Welcome to relevance Baylor. The Bears have been the "biggest surprise thats not really a surprise" in Big 12 history, Coach Scott Drew has been molding this BU Who are these Bears? Well, start by getting to know junior guard Curtis Jerrells, because if Baylor makes the NCAA tournament, Jerrells might become a household name. team together for years – it just took a while for people to notice. Baylor has one solid Big 12 victory, against Texas A&M in five overtimes. The other three came against Iowa State, Nebraska and Oklahoma State. Baylor still has to play Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma on the road. They also have home games against K-State and Texas A&M. If Baylor can win two of those games, Drew would probably be happy – although he probably wouldn't admit that. Edited by Russell Davies 'Big challenge' is probably an understatement for the Big 12 as it's easily the top conference in the country. There are currently five teams ranked in the AP top 25 poll, and according to Charlie Creme's bracketology on espn.com, eight Big 12 squads will be dancing in March with two more close to getting in. Henrickson says the reason for the Big 12's prominence has as much to do with its coaches as the players. "I'd say that top to bottom the Big 12 has the best coaches in (the nation)," Henrickson said. "You don't go into games in this league and think you're just going to out-coach people because everybody does such a great job."

There is great respect for the Big 12 amongst women's basketball analysts right now but Kansas will still need to get some wins down the road to go dancing. That won't be an easy task as two of its next three games are against Kansas State and Nebraska, who carry RPI rankings of 19 and 22, respectively. Kansas is one of the teams that "We definitely needed it," Boogaard said. "It's going to give us big momentum going into Kansas State. The key to getting those wins, according to Henrickson, is avoiding turnovers and taking better care of the ball. Freshman center Krysten Boogaard said the victory against Iowa State puts Kansas in the right direction. challenge ourselves in the nonconference," coach Bonnie Henrickson said, "But you have to be careful, because the league presents such a big challenge on its own, so it's a fine balance." NYSTROM -Edited by Daniel Reyes (CONTINUED FROM 1B) filet migon. RPI (CONTINUED FROM 1B) This year will probably be the highest ranked class Mangino has ever pulled in. As of Tuesday afternoon, Rivals, com had it rated as the 36th best in the nation. There are no one- or two-star recruits amongst the 20 Jayhawk commitments listed on Rivals. Instead, the class has 18 three-stars and two four-classs. 1. The Jayhawk coaching staff can now compete against schools like Arkansas and Texas A&M for recruits instead of merely picking from their lefters. An Orange Bowl will do that. Don't fret. Mangino hasn't changed his stripes with success. My guess is the higher ranked class is due to two factors; 2. I truly believe that these Web sites are giving Mangino a high level of respect. It is well known that Web sites often boost a player's rating based on who is interested in him. That is the reason that Florida State had an incredible run of high recruiting classes when these Web sites came to prominence. The thinking went like this: if Florida State, a school that can choose from across the country what athletes they want, shows interest in a player, that must mean that player is good. This unfairly inflated recruiting rankings of several prestigious schools. Now we have a corollary. Guys like Mark Mangino and Wake Forest's Jim Grobe have proven they can win without four- and five-star recruits. This must mean one of two things: either these two guys are among the very best evaluators in the country or they are among the very best developers in the country. And the truth of the matter is that they are probably both. That means that if Mangino shows interest in a guy that the Texas Longhorns bypassed, it is now less an indictment on the prospect than it is of the program. This player might have been a two-star recruit a few years ago, but now he is a three-star. This is precisely the reason that the Top 10 ranked recruiting classes today will not mirror the Top 10 final rankings in four years and why you shouldn't lament Mangino's fallings as a recruiter. Have some faith.

In other NHL games on Monday night, it was Edmonton 5, Calgary 0; and Phoenix 4, Colorado 3 in overtime. "We played better at the end of the second," Langenbrunner said. "It gave us a little momentum, but we shot ourselves in the foot giving up the power-play goal right away. We showed a little character, battling back and playing our best period in a long time. Devils come back win in overtime ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWARK, N.J. — In the closing minute of the second period, Jamie Langenbrunner finally gave the sluggish New Jersey Devils a long-awaited jolt. Instead of heading to Buffalo on the heels of a 1-4 homestand, the Devils will carry a two-game winning streak into their one-game trip Wednesday before four more in Newark. His goal cut the Devils' deficit in half with a period to go. The New Jersey captain felt that the tide was turning, but his coach still wasn't happy. A power-play goal by Jordan Stal increased Pittsburgh's lead to 3-1 early in the third before Patrik Elias and David Clarkson scored less than two minutes apart to tie it. That set up Zach Parise's winner, off a feed from Elias, to win it 37 seconds into overtime. "I didn't like the way we were playing in the second period, at all," said Devils coach Brent Sutter, who delivered a pointed message to his team before the third. "They responded the way you would like a team to respond and expect a team to respond." And rightfully so. There was still some angst to come before a stirring rally lifted the Devils to an important 4-3 overtime victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night. "It wasn't reinventing the wheel," said Parise, who had two assists to go with his 20th goal. "We had to put forth a better effort and we did in the third. Hopefully we saw the way we need to play." Parise wore it by tipping Elias' drive past Ty Conklin on the only shot of overtime. New Jersey, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia all have 63 points in the five-team Atlantic. "We let that extra point slip away and it feels like we gift-wrapped two points for them," Conklin said. "It's not something you want to do, especially against a divisional opponent." Martin Brodeur earned his 28th win of the season and was credited with an assist on the winning goal. That made up for his tripping penalty in the third period that led to Staal's power-play tally. a quick comeback in the third that they didn't seem to have in them. "We got outcompeted and outworked in the second period." Sutter said. "In the third we played the way we need to play and the way we expect to play." After Staal pushed Pittsburgh's lead to 3-1 4:30 into the third, Elias and Clarkson connected 1:44 apart. That gave the crowd of 13,012 fans — the smallest crowd in the short history of Prudential Center — something to cheer about. Until then, the loudest roar was in the first period when the Devils posted a congratulatory message on the scoreboard to the Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Each club had 10 shots in the third period and both seemed content to play conservatively and get to overtime. "We definitely played the third period and overtime like we cared and wanted to win," Sutter said. Petr Sykora and Ryan Malone also scored for the Penguins, who fell to 3-2-2 since captain Sidney Crosby's ankle injury. Sykora's goal was the 600th NHL point for the forward, who spent his first seven seasons with New Jersey. "It's unacceptable to lose a hockey game like this," coach Michel Therrien said. Evgeni Malkin's two assists tied Crosby for the team lead with 63 points. Oilers 5, Flames 0 At Edmonton, Alberta, Mathieu Garon made 24 saves for the Oilers. Fernando Pisani, Dustin Penner, Ales Hemsky, scored for Edmonton in Garon's fourth shutout of the season. Curtis Joseph made his first start in goal for the Flames after signing with the team last month. He made 23 saves. Calgary has dropped two in a row after winning four straight. At Denver, Radim Vrbata scored late in the third period then added the winner 3:23 into overtime to give Phoenix a come-from-behind win. Coyotes 4, Avalanche 3, OT Vrbata's deciding goal came during a scramble in front. Shane Doan was initially credited with poking the puck between Peter Budaj's pads. The Coyotes forced overtime when Vrbata scored into an open net with 3:11 left in regulation. It looked as though the Avalanche were headed to victory when T.J. Hensick scored his second goal midway through the third period to give Colorado a 3-2 lead. 》 BASKETBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS Bob Knight's midseason retirement surprising The Hall of Fame coach stayed true to his word Monday. "He's ready," successor and son Pat Knight said during his weekly radio program. "He's tired." LUBBOCK, Texas — Bob Knight promised that when he finally decided to call it quits at Texas Tech it would be hard to find him. After telling his sons, his bosses and his team of his resignation, Knight spoke only to one local newspaper about his shocking departure in the middle of his seventh season in West Texas. Knight left during his 42nd year as a head coach with more wins than any Division I men's coach. Pat Knight inherited a team that is struggling at 12-8 and has 10 games remaining. "This is my team, that's what he told me. He's done." Pat Knight said on his radio show. "He's got a lot of life left to enjoy." Almost a decade after he was fired by Indiana, the school he led to three national championships — one an undefeated season not since matched — Knight walked away from college basketball. It was a stunning midseason move by Knight, who gave no hint a change was coming. "There's a transition that's going to take place here from me to Pat and I've dwell on this all year long ... how it would be best for him and for the team and for what we can do in the long run to make this the best thing for Texas Tech," Knight told the Lubbock Avalanche Journal, which first reported the resignation. Pat Knight, whose personality is more subdued than his father's fiery temperament, has been a head coach twice, a partial season with the USBL Columbus Cagerz and a full season leading the Wisconsin Blast, which went 19-15 under him. He played for Knight at Indiana and has been with his father since his arrival at Tech in 2001. He was chosen as his father's successor in 2005. Tech athletic director Gerald Myers said Knight told the team before practice Monday. Though Knight won't be part of the program, his input will be available. "If Pat wants to talk to him and to run something by him, I'm sure he will accommodate him," Myers told The AP. "Pat's ready to be head coach." The 67-year-old Knight told Myers of his decision in a noon meeting Monday, Tech chancellor Kent Hance told The Associated Press. Knight then called Hance and told him. "I think Bob is through with coaching. I think he got to the point where it wasn't fun for him," Hance said. "He thought about it Sunday all day and talked to his wife and decided "This is something I want to do." The Red Raiders beat Oklahoma State 67-60 on Saturday, giving Knight his 902nd victory. He earned No. 900 last month against Texas &M. Texas Tech next plays Wednesday night at Baylor. "I guess you can never be surprised at some of the things Bob does," former UCLA coach John Wooden told the AP. "I don't think there's ever been a better teacher of the game of basketball than Bob. I don't always approve of his methods, but his players for the most part are very loyal to him. I would say that no player that ever played for him would not say he did not come out a stronger person." NEED CASH? et instant Money today Donate plasma.

THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2008 SPORTS 7B NBA Williams defeats Paul in big game Chris Paul and Deron Williams will forever be linked after going back-to-back in the 2005 draft. Paul may be headed to his first All-Star game next week, but Williams got the better of the match between the young point guards Monday night. Williams, who went with the No. 3 pick to Utah in that draft, scored 29 points and had 11 assists in Ualt's 110-88 victory over New Orleans on Monday night that extended the Jazz's winning streak to nine games. "People are going to compare them as long as they're in the league," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "There's nothing you can do about that. But we're looking for him to be Deron Williams." Paul went to the Hornets with fourth pick and the two have been compared ever since. Williams definitely had the better game Monday. He scored 12 in the third quarter as the Jazz stretched an 11-point lead to as much as 22. "He came on tonight to send a message and I think that message got sent across," said Carlos Boozer, who had 19 points and 17 rebounds for the Jazz and is going to the All-Star game in New Orleans. Inother NBA games on Monday it was: Dallas 107, Orlando 98, Denver 105, Portland 103 in overtime; Atlanta 96, Philadelphia 91; Toronto 114, Miami 82; the Los Angeles Clippers 113, New York 94; Houston 92, Minnesota 86; Chicago 118, Seattle 108; and Phoenix 118, Charlotte 104. Williams had his eighth straight double-double and hit three 3-pointers as the Jazz set a team record by making 14 from beyond the arc. He finished 11-for-13 from the floor, but his defense was just as big as the Jazz turned the meeting of division leaders into a rout. Williams got Paul into early foul trouble and held him to just six points and six assists. "I look at it the same way I do anybody else," Williams said. "It was definitely a big game for us — just because of their record." Maverick 107, Magic 98 05, Trail Blazers 103, OT Dallas led by as many as 19, but Orlando made it 83-80 on Rashard Lewis' 3-pointer with 7.15 left. The Magic didn't score again for almost 5 minutes, and Dallas went on a 10-0 run to put the game away. At Portland, Ore., Allen Iverson made a 14-foot fadeaway jumper with less than a second left in overtime. Denver led by 17 in the first half but the Trail Blazers battled back. Hawks 96,76ers 91 At Atlanta, Josh Smith had 19 points, nine assists and nine blocks to help Atlanta come back from a 20-point, first-quarter deficit.

At New York, Corey Maggette scored 19 points in his return to the lineup, and the Clippers snapped a nine-game road losing streak. Rockets 92, Timberwolves 86 At Minneapolis, Tracy McGrady had 26 points, six rebounds and seven assists to help Houston hang on. points and 16 rebounds.

These teams have been knocking on the Championship door the past couple of years and this might be the year that they kick it down. With three to four teams in almost every preseason ranking, the Big 12 South might enhance a conference that has already been successful in recent years. BAYLOR The Bears are ranked 15th and have one of the youngest teams in the country this year. With only one senior, in their projected starting lineup, the Bears will feature four sophomores in the infield. The only BU non-sophomore in the infield is their best and most prolific player, short stop Beamer Weems. Weems knows what it takes to get to the College World Series having been there before and will look to carry his younger teammates back to the promised land. TEXAS Behind Baylor is the 16th ranked Texas Longhorns. While being lower, the Longhorns are still a favorite to win the conference and contenders to win a national title. With the best outfield in the Big 12, the Longhorns return with right fielder Kyle Russell and center fielder Jordan Danks, both juniors. Russell hit .336 last year and put 28 balls in the stands, as Danks hit .332 and had exceptional range in center. The formula to the Longhorns success this year will be their pitching. They will go as far as their untested starting rotation will take them. TEXAS A&M Completing the trio of the three headed monster in the South conference, is Texas A&M. Unlike Baylor, the Aggies will feature an all junior and senior starting lineup.

O'Neal's associate, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to reveal anything publicly, indicated a move could be imminent. HEAT 32 "Shaq thinks something will happen," the associate said. The Miami Herald reported earlier Tuesday that the Heat are in "serious and ongoing" trade negotiations with the Phoenix Suns. A Heat spokesman said the team had no comment, and several Suns officials didn't immediately return phone calls from The AP. Miami Hea's Shaquille O'Neal prepares to pass against the Portland Trail Blazers in the first quarter of a basketball game on Miami on Friday. Rumors are spreading that he may be traded. The Herald report said the Suns would send Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami in exchange for O'Neal, who is averaging a career-low 14.2 points per game and has been sidelined for the past two weeks by a lingering hip injury.

So give quarters back Eli Manning this much: Playing second fiddle is nothing new. He didn't need to be compared to Tom Brady to get an inferiority complex. He grew up on the son of one great quarterback, the baby brother of an even better one. BY TOM CANAVAN ASSOCIATED PRESS CHANDLER, Ariz. — Eli Manning wants another Super Bowl, one against big brother, Peyton. Next year wouldn't be too soon. "It would be fun to be back to the Super Bowl, Eli said Monday. "That's the way I look at it. If it happens to be against the Colts, then that would be a fun game to be a part of" Manning made the most of his first shot Sunday, leading the New York Giants on a late game-winning, 83-yard touchdown drive in a stunning 17-14 win over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots in one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history. The performance earned Eli an MVP award, just a year after Peyton got the same award for leading the Colts to a title over the Chicago Bears. "You still want to do it again. You still want to have this feeling again," Eli added. "It's hard to say that now because you're still enjoying it now, but you have to have the same commitment to playing football. I've got to become a better quarterback." "It doesn't change my attitude, my personality, or even my goals for next season." Manning said. "It's still the same. I'm happy today, I'm fired up and I'm going to enjoy this moment. That can wait until after the Giants ticker-tape parade Tuesday in New York. "Everybody's looking forward to it," Manning said. "I'm sure New York will throw a pretty good parade for us." Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who appeared with Manning at the MVP press conference on Monday in Phoenix, said the fourth-year quarterback has come a long way since that first year when teams like Baltimore made him look foolish with blitzes. His Super-Bowl-winning 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress came on a Patriots' blitz. ("They) had been playing zone, keeping two safeties back and just playing a little conservative through that whole drive," said Manning, who completed 19 of 34 for 255 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. "Finally, I knew they'd come after us. They came out with a blitz and had one-on-one with Plaxico Burress. That's a matchup we're going to take every time." The touchdown not only spoiled the Patriots' perfect season and made the Giants a Super Bowl champion for the third time, it also vindicated former general manager Ernie Accorsi's decision to acquire Manning on draft daw in 2004. Despite being encouraged by the Manning family to pass on Eli, San Diego drafted him No. 1. The Giants then acquired him from the Chargers for the rights to quarterback Philip Rivers — the No. 4 pick overall — and a couple of draft picks, one of which turned out to be All-Pro linebacker Shawne Merriman. Every time Manning struggled in the past 3½ seasons. Accorsi got blamed for mortgaging the future of the franchise on Peyton Manning's not-as-good little brother. "I couldn't be happier," Accorsi said Monday at the Giants' team hotel. "I have a thick skin. To me, it was part of the job. If he wasn't playing well, I was going to be criticized. I don't have any vindictive feeling. It was too great a moment to think about that." Accorsi said the frantic fourth quarter in some ways mirrored the ups and down of the past four years with Manning. "Your quarterback just cost us the championship," a Giants fan sitting in front of Accorsi turned and velled. With New York clinging to a 10-7 lead with 8:32 to play, Manning scrambled out of the pocket near his own 30-yard line and overthrew a wide-open Plaxico Burress with a lob pass along the left sideline. It seemed prophetic when Tom Brady took over on the next possession and led an 80-yard drive that resulted in a 6-yard touchdown pass to Randy Moss with 2:42 to play. Then it all came together. With everything on the line, Manning took his team down the field and got into the end zone in the final minute with a 13-yard pass to Burress. Naturally, Accorsi was thrilled. So, too, was a former critic sitting in front of him. The man who accused Manning of costing the Giants the Super Bowl eight minutes earlier turned and tried to kiss Accorsi. After the parade, Accorsi and the Giants have some housekeeping chorus "He was aiming right at my lips, but he didn't get that close," a laughing Accorsi said while shaking his head. Coach Tom Coughlin is expected to get a lengthy contract extension that will pay him around $5 million annually. He made $3.25 million this year and was to make the same in 2008. Linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor, safety Gibril Wilson, kicker Lawrence Tynes and punter Jeff Fegles — all starters in the Super Bowl — are free agents. "We'll get moving on that as soon as we get back," said general manager Jerry Reese, the man who replaced Accorsi. "I might have laid down for an hour or two but I don't think I slept," center Shaun O'Hara said. "I think I just closed my eyes. It might have been the first time I slept with a smile on my face." Most of the players looked tired on Monday after a long night of partying. "I think we are going to win some more of these," he said. "The Patriots had their dynasty and now I think we can start ours." Tynes also had a smile on his face. The perfect ending for Eli Manning would be going head to head with Peyton for another NFL title. GRE $ ^{\mathrm{TM}} $ LSAT $ ^{\mathrm{TM}} $ TEST PREPARATION That's Right on Target.

Woods won a playoff with South Africa's Ernie Els after they both finished at 19-under for the tournament. PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — After one of his many crushing losses to the world's No. 1 player, Ernie Els once described Tiger Woods as a legend in the making. Woods was 24 at the time with only two majors. "He's probably going to be bigger than Elvis when he gets into his 405." Els said after losing to him in a playoff at Kapalua. Now if he can only get Elvis to leave the building. Because that looks to be the only way the Big Easy can achieve his grandiose goal of becoming No. 1 in the world. Whether he was simply trying to motivate himself or he truly believed it, Els said toward the end of the 2006 season that he was giving himself three years to reclaim the No. I ranking, a spot he has not occupied in nearly 10 years. The demons were gone from 2004, when he had a chance to win all four majors and came up empty. The scars were healed from torn knee ligaments the following year. "It's a hell of a task, but I really believe I can do it," Els said on the eve of 2007. Then he watched Woods win seven times, including another major, and build such an enormous lead in the ranking that a three-year plan looked of reach even in dog years. "Let's get serious," Els said in a preview to his 2008 season. "I have got two years left of my original plan. I have got to start winning tournaments — fast!" Then came another devastating blow in Dubai. Woods dropped five birdies over his final seven holes, while Els twice missed par putts inside 6 feet to slip behind. Els' last chance came on the par-5 18th, where a birdie would have forced a playoff. He had 240 yards to the green, but his 5-wood caught a gust and found the middle of the lake. Els had the 54-hole lead and was four shots clear of Woods until a finish that was all too familiar. "I have to put behind me what happened last week in Dubai," Els said. "There's nothing I can do about it now." Els has been runner-up to Woods seven times, more than any other player. The knee is fine. The game is healthy. The mental scar issue is another matter. "It's definitely more mental now than physical," swing coach David Leadbetter said. "It's not as if he played badly. But when Tiger is in that mood, it's tough." There have been plenty of audacious comments that relate to Woods over the last couple of years, and Els' stated goal to be No. 1 in three years has to rank among them. What separates it from Rory Sabbatini saying Woods looked "beatable as ever," or Ian Poulter saying when he reaches his full potential "it will be just me and Tiger," is that Els has a track record. Since Woods first became No. 1 in the world, Elis is one of only three players to have replaced him, although for the shortest time (nine weeks). The others were David Duval (15 weeks) and Vijay Singh (32 weeks). His biggest battle is against time, and not just the two years remaining on his goal to catch Woods. He is 38, and he doesn't have the body or the fitness discipline, of Singh, who played his best golf after turning 40. But the bigger problem is Woods. "We're in the era — probably— of the greatest player ever," Nick Faldo said. "It's a tough time for these guys. He is forcing players to change" The one thing Els might need to change is his goal. What also motivates the Big Easy is to win the career Grand Slam, which for Els means winning the Masters and PGA Championship. Right now, that would be far more realistic to attain than No. 1 in the world. The sooner Els drops his obsession with Woods, the better his chances. All the Places You Can Go...

Tributes have been laid at the grave and outside Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium before the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster of Feb. 6, 1958, in which British European Airways flight 699 crashed on its third attempt to take-off from a lush-covered runway at the Munich-Riem airport in West Germany. EE 571-29F5 BAGSY RIP NEVER FORGETTING - SIXTH ANNIVERSARY MANCHESTER, England — Fifty years ago, a stunned city rallied around Manchester United after a crash in a snowy Munich airfield. Eight players and 15 others died, and a renewed outpouring of emotion will mark Wednesday's anniversary as United players honor the lost "Busy Babes." "It was such a monumental event and it's mentioned almost every day," said Bobby Charlton, a fledgling forward in Matt Busby's team. "The 50th anniversary is such an important occasion to mark to get the opportunity to let people know how good that team was." At 3:04 p.m. — the time of the crash on Feb. 6, 1958 — survivors and supporters will join manager Alex Ferguson and his current players for a memorial service at Old Trafford. A free, permanent exhibition dedicated to the Busy Babes will be unveiled. On Tuesday, fans left flowers, United shirts, scarves and T-shirts with pictures of the Busy Babes outside the stadium, where the clock is permanently set at 3:04 p.m. Busby's team, which had won two English league titles, seemed destined for European Cup glory. It had just qualified for the semifinals by advancing past Red Star Belgrade. But after leaving Yugoslavia and stopping to refuel in Munich, the Elizabethan charter plane hurtled through the perimeter fence on its third attempt to take off in a snow-storm. Seven players — Roger Byrne, Geoff Bent, Eddie Colman, David Pegg, Mark Jones, Liam "Billy" Whelan, Tommy Taylor — died in the wreckage. Duncan Edwards, considered the best player of all, died in a hospital 15 days later. Fifteen other officials, supporters and journalists also perished. Kenny Morgans, who had just played his way onto the first team, was the youngest survivor and last to be recovered from the smoldering wreckage. He made just 23 appearances before his career faded in his native Wales. "I was never the same player again. I went back to Swansea and played for them," he said. "I've got the last lineup of the team in my lounge. I see them every time I go downstairs." Through the tragedy, the club was redefined and seared deeply into the psyche of soccer fans worldwide. "We got our name through the crash. It was very much in the public eye and what we've done since then is make sure that we understand all of those elements when we make decisions." Man U chief executive David Gill said. "Without doubt everyone who follows Manchester United is aware of it and it reflects our philosophies and how we make decisions today."

TEN NFL Patriots accept defeat [Image] New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick greets the fans as the New England Patriots arrive back at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., on Monday. The New England Patriots return home after being defeated by the New York Giants, 17-14 in Super Bowl XIII BY HOWARD ULMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Back on friendly turf, Bill Belichick got off the bus that returned him to Gillette Stadium and headed straight for the screaming fans. The Patriots coach shook hands, exchanged high fives and pushed aside one of more than a dozen cameramen who had rushed him — Like Giants defenders besieging Tom Brady — and blocked his path on a chilly Monday night. "Thank you, Coach!" one fan shouted as Belichick walked up and down the line of about 200 greeters, a serious look on his face for most of his journey. The Patriots diehards were thrilled to see him and his players and unshaken by the imperfect end to what had been a perfect season — a stunning 17-14 Super Bowl upset by the New York Giants that ended New England's season at 18-1 far from home in Glendale, Ariz., on Sunday night. "It was kind of sad at first," said Stephane Bare, 14, of Millis, "but I still have respect for the other team." And plenty of love for her Patriots, as shown in the message on her hand-drawn poster: "Be proud of what you've done ... We are." The sting of the loss doesn't fade that easily. Not after the Patriots were heavy favorites to beat the Giants and become the only team other than the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who were 17-0, to go undefeated from the first game of the regular season to the last one of the post season. Belichick and Brady have been together for four Super Bowls, all decided by three points. The Patriots won the first three but haven't won any of the last three titles. "We usually are on the better side of those three-point wins," Brady said. "We just have to regroup and come back and try to make it stronger next year." Brady was not among the some 30 players who returned to Foxborough after flying back from the game. Nor was he headed to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl on Sunday. He and wide receiver Randy Moss chose not to go because of ankle injuries, Patriots spokesman Stacey James said. Six other Patriots picked for Sunday's game did make the trip. Three of them — Matt Light, Logan Mankins and Dan Koppen — were from the offensive line that had been solid all season but surprisingly porous against the Giants' outstanding pass rush. Brady was sacked five times, the most in 92 games since Sept. 21, 2003 against the New York Jets. But there were signs during the second half of the season that the Patriots were vulnerable. Brady's five worst passer ratings came in the last eight games. New England's first eight wins were by at least 17 points each. Only four of its last 10 victories were by more than 10. The Patriots beat Indianapolis 24-20 on a touchdown with 3:15 left and Philadelphia 31-28 on a touchdown with 7:20 remaining. They edged Baltimore 27-24 on a touchdown with 44 seconds to go, and in the regular-season finale, they beat the Giants 38-35. They took the lead too early in the Super Bowl, going ahead 14-10 on Brady's 6-yard pass to Moss with 2:42 to go. That left Eli Manning enough time to lead an 83-yard march and throw the decisive 13-yard scoring pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds remaining. "I'm sure we all could have done things better, but it's just part of competition," Brady said. He wants Moss back next season, but the receiver can become a free agent. "I would love to be in a New England Patriots uniform," he said, "but, if not, the show must go on." Star cornerback Asante Samuel also could leave as a free agent after the Patriots designated him as their franchise player when he held out for a long-term contract before the season. Their three oldest defensive starters also could be gone. Linebackers Tedy Bruschi and Junior Seau and safety Rodney Harrison all could retire. Bruschi already has three Super Bowl rings with the Patriots. A fourth would have meant more, capping an unbeaten season and supporting the argument that they're the best team ever. That took a big hit Sunday. "It's not even worth talking about it now because it's over. It didn't happen," Bruschi said. "We can look back on this year with a positive attitude and some of the things we accomplished. But when you don't finish, I mean, that's all we're about." The next night in Foxborough, cornerback Ellis Hobbs, who was beaten on Burress' winning touchdown, signed autographs. So did Adalius Thomas, Benjamin Watson and about five other players who greeted the screaming fans. One of them drove 60 miles to be there. "I was driving home from work and decided this is where I wanted to be," said Mike Beauregard, 44, of Haverhill. "I was down all day and when I heard they were going to be coming in, I just said, 'This is something I've never done.' "I go to the parades every time they win." This time, the Patriots overcame Harrison's four-game suspension to start the season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. They were fired up after being punished for videotaping Jets' coaches in the opener. And they bristled at suggestions they were running up the score. But, in the most important game, they failed. So fans had to settle for handshakes from Belichick and his players on a cold night outside an empty stadium.

The University of Kansas canceled all classes on the Edwards and Lawrence campuses on Wednesday because of heavy snowfall late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. Snow closes campus University officials call off classes after strong winter storm The University called off classes yesterday for the first time in six years due to snow. BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com Lawrence got about four inches of snow Tuesday night after a day of rain. "Based on current conditions, coupled with continued blowing snow, the decision was made to cancel classes," said Jill Jess, associate director of news and media relations, in an e-mail. The new emergency texting system put in place in November was not used to notify students of the cancellation, Jess said that the University relied on KU's home page, area media, and 864-SNOW. She did not give a reason for not using the text service. The last time classes were cancelled for snow was Jan. 30 and 31, 2002. According to the University Relations Web site, the first time classes were cancelled since they started keeping track in 1972 was Feb. 12 and 13, 1978. Classes were also cancelled March 13, 2006 after a microburst that caused $6 million worth of damage. The next date was Feb. 2, 1983. y They base the decision on weather reports and road conditions. Whether buses can safely maneuver the hills on campus is a big part of the decision as well. Sunflower Channel 6 Weather's Web site said that the average precipitation for the beginning of the year until now is 1.4 inches. This year, Lawrence has received 1.8 inches.

BY KAT LESLIE kleslie@kansan.com It sounds like something out of a fairy-tale romance: a young woman, with no formal education or training, becomes the indispensible secretary for her millionaire boss. After years of faithfully working together, growing closer and creating an unbreakable bond, they marry. However, fairy tale heroines don't usually have University of Kansas buildings named after them—but Elizabeth Miller Watkins was one special lady. File photo Born on January 21, 1861 to Dr Valentine G. Miller and his wife Ella, Elizabeth grew up in the hardworking home of a middle class family. She hoped to attain a higher education than most women received during the late 1800s, and even attended the preparatory school at the University of Kansas during the 1874-75 academic year. Unfortunately, her family's financial problems made the stay brief, and she was forced to put her college dreams aside and instead immediately join the workforce. A. B. At age 15, she applied for and received a secretarial position at the J.B Watkins Land and Mortgage Company, where she worked with the company's founder and owner, Jabez B. Watkins. After 34 years as a secretary with the company, Elizabeth again applied for a job—but this time, it was a position as Watkins wife she wished to fill. On November 15, 1909, at the age of 48, she married the 64-year-old Watkins, in what the Lawrence Journal-World called a surprise wedding to "one of the richest men in the West." According to "KU's Fairy Godmother," an essay by John H. McCool of KU's Department of History, the couple often talked about "how they would spend their twilight years, and, also, to what use they would put their vast fortune." Sadly though, the marriage ended just 11 years later when Watkins passed away in 1921 at 76. Elizabeth was left to disperse their riches, but as they had no children and as both had planned (according to Elizabeth in an interview with the Kansas City Star) ["to] give it all for the good of humanity, chiefly here in Lawrence". Looking back on her life, it's no surprise that one of her chief concerns was less fortunate students—especially females, who might not be able to attend college without financial assistance. Following that intention, Elizabeth donated $75,000 to the University, which resulted in the construction of KU's first scholarship hall, to be named Watkins. Elizabeth was involved in every step of the process she once said, "The color scheme of every room, the furniture, draperies and furnishings, are results of many months of planning. It is my dream come true." The dream finally became a reality on September 14, 1926 when the first women, eventually to become known as "Watkins girls" arrived at the hall. "My sympathy has always been with the girls who must travel uphill," she once said. "My husband and I had intended to do something that would really be beneficial to them. It has been my dream to aid self-supporting girls to get an education." The acceptance process for the hall was rigorous: women had to send references "attesting to their moral character and scholastic ability" and certify that they had financial need, according to "KU's' Fairy Godmother." Too keep down costs, and also to teach the women self-sufficiency, the Watkins girls were expected to share in the housekeeping responsibilities—a tradition that continues today. Years later, Elizabeth Watkins donated money for the creation of a second scholarship hall, named Miller in honor of her brother, Frank C. Miller, and the University of Kansas' first and much-needed hospital, Watkins Memorial Hospital (which is now Twente Hall, renamed after the construction of Watkins Memorial Health Center in 1974). Before the construction of the hospital, there had been no permanent health service area for University of Kansas students. According to Mai Do, Marketing Coordinator for Student Health Services, "There wasn't a single place for a student to go for health care, only random homes and rooms where doctors would set up shop [for the year]." Elizabeth's donation not only allowed for the construction of the building, but also an expansion of the staff and more up-to-date equipment, to better serve the ever-growing number of KU students in need of health care. According to Do, Elizabeth's legacy at Watkins Health Center lives on to today: "The trust fund set up with her money helps us supplement the funds we have from student and auxiliary fees. Like last year, the trust helped pay for the roof we needed to replace." Then and now, Elizabeth's contributions have helped increase the standard of living for University of Kansas students. When she died on June 1, 1939, her will gave 26,000 acres of farmland in southwestern Kansas to KU. She also gave her home, which is the present-day chancellor's residence, and more money. Today, students still feel the warmth of this fairy-tale woman. Ann Giessel, Larned senior and Miller Scholarship Hall resident said, "Elizabeth Miller Watkins made a really good investment for the future, for women. I've made great friendships here [at Miller]. Living together, cooking for your fellow kitchen mates—it's like a big family. Wonderful." Edited by Nick Mangiaracina Ice ice, baby PETER T. LEE I'll go with the first one.

LECTURE ELECTURE Speech seeks to expand student's perspectives Beverly Mack, professor in African and African American Studies, will tonight give a campus presentation called "Veiled Truth—Muslim Women's Lives in a Climate of Controversy." "We assume Muslim women have no mind of their own and that is such an empty impression." Mack said. That is just one of the many stereotypes Mack wants to defy. She worked with Muslim women who said that their only obligation was to God and they would not be subordinate to their husbands if it negatively affected their spirituality. Knowing what goes on globally, beyond what the media presents, Mack said, was difficult for students, and that manypeople in oursociety hold stereotypes aboutMuslim women. "The only pictures the media show are women heavily veiled or their involvement in war activities,"Mack said. Mack said she wanted to show diversity among Muslim women and to counter stereotypes the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have created. The presentation will describe the different ways Muslim women live their daily lives, the role velling plays in their lives and the kinds of work Muslim women perform. Mack's presentation begins at 7 p.m. tonight in the Big 12 Room of the Kansas Union.The presentation is free. Refreshments will be served.

Tabakh, like other students at the University of Kansas, couldn't afford to buy all the books required for the course and decided to share the expense with a fellow classmate. Beat the Bookstore moves to new location BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Beat the Bookstore, at 622 W. 12th St., has joined the list of businesses to leave the corner of 12th and Indiana streets. But, unlike Yello Sub and The Crossing, which shut down in the fall, Beat the Bookstore has relocated to 1741 Massachusetts – the former location of the adult novelty store Naughty but Nice. The paint was still drying and the bookshelves were empty, but on Monday, Beat the Bookstore coowner Denise Keating said that the store was open for business. "If they could find the book they wanted in one of these boxes, we would sell it to them," said Keating, who co-owns Beat the Bookstore with her husband Dan. Beat the Bookstore opened last May as an alternative to KU Booksbooks, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd., University Book Shop, 1116 W.23rd St. and the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd. The bookstore's business concept is to offer cheaper textbook prices and high buy-back prices. The Keatings said they heard rumors a short time after they opened the store at 12th Street that the building they shared with Yello Sub was going to be sold. But, they weren't formally notified until last fall that they would have to move (the corner of 12th and Indiana streets is the proposed location of the Oread Inn hotel project). The Keatings said they began looking for alternative locations soon after. The 1741 Massachusetts St. location became available after a judge's ruling said Naughty but Nice was in violation of a city code. Lawrence restricts adult-themed stores to locations along highways. Naughty but Nice left the building in early January. "We liked the old location, but it was too small," Denise Keating said. Although, she said Beat the Bookstore liked its proximity to the KU Bookstores at the old location because University students could compare prices with it. However, due to its small size at the old location Beat the Bookstore couldn't carry a lot of books. Jono Gaughan, Leawood junior, who lives one block away from the old Beat the Bookstore location, said he bought books from the store twice and looked around two or three other times. "The last time I went in there, the selection was pretty small," Gaughan said. "But I'm a film major and a lot of students don't need film books." Gaughan said he saved money by going to Beat the Bookstore, but said he wasn't sure if hed want to drive to the new location. "The Union is just a short walk away for me," Gaughan said. —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina Textbook prices senate's concern 》 LEGISLATION BY BRENNA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com Students who pay hundreds of dollars for expensive textbooks may not have to pay as much in the future. Student senators are going to lobby the state legislature to pass a new law that would require textbook publishers to inform professors and faculty of their books before they decide which book to use for a class. Alex Treater, director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said the senators wanted to lobby for something other than general higher education issues on Higher Education Day, Feb. 13. He said he was lobbying to increase competition between textbook publishers and decrease book prices. "A lot of times there are better deals out there," Treaster said. States like California, Massachusetts and Washington already have textbook laws similar to the one the Student Senate is advocating. Treaster said a study in Massachusetts showed that 63 percent of the 237 professors asked did not typically know the price of the books they were looking at. Aline Silva, Sao Paulo, Brazil, sophomore, paid $245 for her science textbooks. She is a double-major in pre-med and religious studies, and noticed a price difference between the textbooks required for larger classes and smaller books for smaller classes. "I don't spend half as much on religious studies books as I do chemistry books, and I buy more religious studies books," Silva said. Hamah Love, student body president, said students often thought the high book prices were the fault of the bookstore, but said the biggest percentage of money went to the textbook publishers. Bill Madel, textbook manager at the Jayhawk Bookstore, said the bookstore was forced to pay whatever the publishers told them to. Madel, a 1999 graduate, said he paid $100 for a Spanish textbook bundle when he was in college. Now the same bundle costs $200. "If the.publishers had their way, nothing would be buy-back," Madel said. "Everything would be one-use only." Madel said publishers kept raising prices and producing new editions to get money out of their investment. Love said professors were using new editions of textbooks with high-resolution photos, all of which raise the price of a textbook. She said that for a course that concentrates on pictures, like art history, high-resolution photos may be necessary, but other courses did not need high quality photos. LIBERTY HALL accessibility info 644 Mass. 749-1912 (785) 749-1912 INTO THE WILD (R) NO SHOWS JUNO (PG 13) 4:40 7:10 9:30 students: $5.50 "Professors can get a book that will save students $50," Love said. She said informing professors of prices would help make the textbook market more competitive and bring book prices down. Craig Martin, professor of biology, is no stranger to competing textbook companies. When he considers textbooks for his Biology 100 class, he routinely looks at textbooks from different companies. "I have 1,000 students and I'd like to save them some money," Martin said. Martin considers the price, accuracy and completeness of information, writing style and illustrations in a book when choosing which书 to assign to the class. "I literally set texts side-by-side and read a passage and decide which book is better," Martin said. Martin said pricing information was readily available to professors considering books. Professors only have to ask for a price and they will be told. Joe Heepert, professor of chemistry, said he didn't see it as a problem for faculty to know prices of books, but price did not determine which book a professor chose. He said for most professors, the primary decision would come down to which textbook serves the students best. He said they wanted students to have the best knowledge for the subject they were learning, even if a book was slightly more expensive than another available option. "I'm not sure a law is going to work to expand the number of faculty that looks at price." Heppert said. "It may add additional information and help with balancing the quality of the text with its cost." Rep. Barbara Craft (R-Junction City), member of the Education Committee, said it was a good idea for a professor to be aware of the price of a book, but if a better-quality book is available, it should be considered as well. "I don't know if price should be a guiding factor," Craft said. David Hakensen, spokesperson for textbook publisher Pearson, said developing a textbook could cost up to $1 million, which included payment of authors, experts, editors, researchers, reviewers and designers. He said prices were also affected by the cost of raw materials like paper and fuel. He said inflation is responsible for 77 percent of the increase in textbook prices. He said students had the ability to purchase cheaper alternatives to expensive textbooks, such as simple black-and-white editions, loose leaf editions, or digital versions of the textbooks. These options can be half the price of the hardcover textbook. He said the company made pricing information available on the Internet, "If you see the amount of information that publishers already make available to faculty and students about pricing and revisions, a law is probably unnecessary," Hakensen said in an e-mail. —Edited by Madeline Hyden by the numbers According to the National Association of College Stores in 2004, every dollar a student spent on textbooks was split nine different ways.

For the first time, the top commander of detention operations at Guantanamo has confirmed the existence of the mysterious Camp 7. In an interview with The Associated Press, Rear Adm. Mark Buzby also provided a few details about the maximum-security lockup. Guantanamo commanders said Camp 7 is for key alleged al-Qaida members, who must be kept apart from other prisoners to prevent them from retaliating against long-term detainees who have talked to interrogators. They also want the location kept secret for fear of terrorist attack. Many operations have been classified since the detention center opened in January 2002 in the wake of Sept. 11. More than four years passed before the military released even the names of detainees held on this 45-square-mile base in southeast Cuba — and it did so only after the AP filed a Freedom of Information Act request. Detainees have been held in Camp Echo and Camps 1 - 6. Journalists cleared by the military have been allowed to tour some of these lockups, where 260 men are held, but aren't allowed to speak to detainees. Some lawmakers and other VIPs have passed through, and the International Red Cross has access, but doesn't divulge details of visits with prisoners. Camp 7, where 15 "high-value detainees" are held, is so secret that its existence was not publicly known until it was mentioned in December by attorneys for Majid Khan, a former Baltimore resident who allegedly plotted to bomb gas stations in the United States. Previously, many observers believed the 15 were being held in Camps 5 or 6, which are maximum-security facilities. "Under the gag order ... we are prohibited from saying anything more about their camp." lawyer Gitanjali Gutierrez said Tuesday. Most of the lawyers' notes and memos have been stamped "top secret" by the government. Buzby told AP he is limiting the people who know Camp 7's location to a "very few". "They went straight into that facility." Buzby said. He described it as a maximum-security facility that was already built when President Bush announced in September 2006 that 14 high-value terrorism suspects had been transferred from CIA secret detention facilities to Guantanamo. An additional detainee, Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, arrived last April. Paul Rester, chief interrogator at Guantanamo, told AP he has been interviewing one of the Camp 7 detainees. Buzby, who heads all military detention operations on Guanta-namo, said he controls Camp 7, but would not discuss whether the CIA might still be talking with the high-value detainees. Key military commanders on the base have been told to leave Camp 7 to others. "Not everybody, even within the Joint Task Force, has access or even knowledge of where Camp 7 is," said Army Col. Bruce Vargo. As commander of the Joint Detention Group at Guantanamo, Vargo is responsible for the other camps, but not for Camp 7. Red Cross representatives have visited Camp 7 and all the other detention facilities at Guantanamo confirmed Geoff Loane, head of the organization's delegation in Washington. He declined to give details. Buzby said the 15 are kept isolated in part to protect other prisoners. "Detainees have told us a lot of things about this group of people, and if there were potential for retribution, it would be a very, very dangerous situation," he said. For his part, Vargo said he is concerned with the possibility of an al-Qaida attack on Guantanamo "Although we are trying to be open, security is paramount," he said. Vargo declined to discuss whether the U.S. had received information that al-Qaida might be planning such an attack. "We have intelligence reports, but I don't want to release what we know for obvious reasons," he said. Conservatives, environmentalists oppose bill TOPEKA — Energy legislation already opposed by environmentalists is drawing criticism from some legislators and conservative groups because it would impose a new carbon tax on utilities failing to meet new emissions standards. Identical bills before the House and Senate utilities committees would allow the construction of two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas. But it also would set the state's first rules on carbon dioxide emissions, which many scientists link to global warming. The CO2 standards would apply to new power plants, and utilities that failed to meet them would pay a tax of $3 on each ton of excess emissions. The legislation would make Kansas among a handful of states to set limits on greenhouse gas emissions. Critics, including Gov. Kathleen Sebellius, argue that the rules would be so weak that utilities would have no trouble complying without reducing emissions. They also have said companies that have had projects blocked in other states would be encouraged to build them in Kansas. The bills were drafted by the chairmen of the two committees and their top Democrats. Both committees continued hearings Wednesday. But some legislators, particularly conservative Republicans, don't want to impose any carbon tax. The Kansas Chamber of Commerce, the state's largest business group, has said it worries a tax would hurt the economy, and it has been joined by anti-tax groups such as Americans for Tax Reform and Americans for Prosperity. The House committee plans to vote Friday, which would allow a debate in that chamber next week, but the Senate committee won't vote until next week so members have more time to ask questions about it, Chairman Jay Emler said. 'It's not a precedent that Kansas ought to be setting.' Alan Cobb, director of Americans for Prosperity's Kansas chapter, said Wednesday. House committee Chairman Carl Dean Holmes objected to the description of the proposal as a carbon tax. He said it's a penalty for utilities that don't meet emissions standards. "I figured we'd have grumbling from both sides," the Republican from Liberal said. "That's not unexpected." Environmentalists continued their efforts Wednesday to derail the legislation. About 60 of them had a Statehouse rally to criticize the measure and call on the committees to abandon it in favor of measures they consider more friendly to the environment. Bob Eye, a Topeka attorney who represents the Sierra Club, noted a new president takes office in January and predicted that person would embark on new policies to combat global warming by regulating CO2 emissions. "I hear a lot of concerns, and I have a lot of concerns," said House Taxation Committee Chairman Kenny Wilk, a Lansing Republican. "As always, what are the unintended consequences?" Americans for Tax Reform sent an e-mail to legislators this week, arguing that the carbon tax would do "irreparable harm." Even some moderate legislators worry about pushing the policy through quickly. "Carbon taxes are going to be a part of our future, because we want to discourage the use of fossil fuels," he said after the rally. Conservatives' problems with the legislation also go deeper than the carbon tax. Rep. Benjamin Hodge, a Republican from Overland Park, said it doesn't promote energy independence because it doesn't help expand nuclear power. "We need to start talking about nuclear energy" he said. "We going to have to get our energy from somewhere." Environmentalists oppose the legislation because it would permit Sunflower Electric Power Corp. to build the new coal-fired plants outside Holcomb, in Finney County. The $3.6 billion project has been blocked by Sebellius' top environmental regulator since October. Utilities could offset their emissions — reduce them on paper by investing in certain technologies, upgrading transmission lines or taking other steps. The new emissions standards would apply to Sunflower's project and to any new plants, no matter what fuel they used. Critics contend that under the rules, Sunflower's new plants would be treated as if they produced zero CO2 emissions, when their projected output is 11 million tons a year. plant's emissions, and the figure would drop 20 percent after the first year a plant has operated. For coal-fired plants, the limit would be lower than any existing They also have argued that the proposed tax is far too low to discourage carbon emissions, noting that emissions credits trade in Europe for as much as $30 a ton. Hayden banned the technique in 2006 for CIA interrogations, the Pentagon has banned its employees from using it, and FBI Director Robert Mueller said his investigators do not use coercive tactics in interviewing terror suspects. White House authorizes use of waterboarding "There's been a lot written out there — newspaper, magazine articles, some of it misinformation," Fratto said. "And so the consensus was that on this one particular technique that these officials would have the opportunity to address them — in not just a public setting, but in a setting in front of members of Congress, and to be very clear about how those techniques were used and what the benefits were of them." Bush personally authorized Hayden's testimony, White House deputy spokesman Tony Fratto said. WASHINGTON — The White House on Wednesday defended the use of the interrogation technique known as waterboarding, saying it is legal — not torture as critics argue — and has saved American lives. Fratto said CIA interrogators could use waterboarding again, but would need the president's approval to do so. That approval would "depend on the circumstances," with one important factor being "belief that an attack might be imminent," Fratto said. Appropriate members of Congress would be notified in such a case, he said. Senate Democrats demanded a criminal investigation after Hayden's revelation. Waterboarding involves strapping a suspect down and pouring water over his cloth-covered face to create the sensation of drowning. It has been traced back hundreds of years, and is condemned by nations around the world. President Bush could authorize waterboarding for future terrorism suspects if certain criteria are met, a spokesman said. Tuesday, the Bush administration acknowledged publicly that the tactic was used by U.S. government questioners on three terror suspects. Testifying before Congress, CIA Director Michael Hayden said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubayda and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashir were waterboarded in 2002 and 2003. Fratto said the use of water-boarding in the past was also approved by the attorney general, meaning it was legal and not torture. "The president will listen to his advisers and make a determination," he said. Officials fear calling waterboarding torture or illegal could expose government employees to criminal or civil charges or even international war crime charges. "Every enhanced technique that has been used by the Central Intelligence Agency for this program was brought to the Department of Justice and they made a determination that its use under specific circumstances and with safeguards was lawful." Fratto said. Critics say waterboarding has been outlawed under the U.N.'s Convention Against Torture, which prohibits treatment resulting in long-term physical or mental damage. They also say it should be recognized as banned under the U.S. 2006 Military Commissions Act, which prohibits treatment of terror suspects that is described as "cruel, inhuman and degrading."The act, however, does not explicitly prohibit waterboarding by name. Human Rights Watch, which has been calling on the government to outlaw waterboarding as a form of illegal torture, called Hayden's testimony "an explicit admission of criminal activity" KANSANCLASSIFIEDS AUTO JOBS LOST & FOUND FOR RENT ROOMATE/ SE Associated Press AUTO 110,000 ml.

Wes Benson CELEBRITY Lohan regrets wild, party-going past says she is 'back on the right track' ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Hindsight is 20- 20 for Lindsay Lohan. "When I look back on this last year, it's like, what was I thinking?" the 21-year-old actress said in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine, on newssends Feb. 19. Lohan was arrested twice last year on DUI charges and pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges. She served 84 minutes in jail as part of a plea deal, and checked into a rehab center in Utah. "Ive learned so much, though, like learning to live my life a different way ... and I wasn't taking the time to feel my feelings," she said. "Being away and going to a place where I could learn about that and take the time with a clear mind to get back on the right track was nice." The "Mean Girls" star — who was shown on a video taking a swig from a champagne bottle while ringing in the New Year in Capri, Italy — said it's hard to resist the urge to party. "I have it in me to go, go, go," Lohan said. "I'm still young. I love life. I love music and being around that. I love people, and I'm a very social person. But I also love being home, quiet and normal." FREESTYLE ASSOCIATED PRESS Lindsey Lohos poses as she arrives at the premiere of "Cloverfield," Jan. 16 in Los Angeles. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

The article, written by Kevin Johnson, highlighted information that was ascertained through the most recent inmate surveys conducted by the Justice Department in 2004. The information is leading social scientists, as well as law enforcement officials, to recognize the "obvious" link between family influences and criminal tendencies. According to those surveys, 48 percent of inmates in the United States claim to have a family member who is or has been incarcerated. To most, this may seem like common knowledge. When asked if either him or any of his family members had ever been to jail, Nathan Hunt, a Topeka senior said, "Nah, me and my family gotta clean record." He went on to add, "I think growing up in a positive or negative environment does have an impact on you and what you do, though. If you're around negative things, you're going to do negative things, and that wasn't the case with me." Although there are wonderful examples of people overcoming their background and upbringing to become successful and well-to-do citizens, there are also uncountable examples of children being born into poverty and crime only to remain there. Children who grew up around violence, drugs and criminal tendencies or in an unstable environment may be more enticed to continue down the same destructive path. People have a choice to make the right or wrong decision, but those who grew up in an unhealthy environment may have a distorted view as to what is "right" or "wrong." Perhaps the proper resources and information weren't directly available as a result of an ongoing cycle of urban poverty and violence. I disagree with the death penalty because I see it as a means to get rid of the problem rather than trying to solve it. Based on findings from the survey, certain government agencies have implemented programs targeted at inner city youths. The targeted youths are those who are at the highest risk of following the same criminal-led lives. Instead of lethally injecting convicts, it would be beneficial to continue to distribute surveys and find out more about the backgrounds and lives led by these inmates. Social scientists and psychologists could find a possible link between background and upbringing and the crimes committed. If it is a societal problem, our society would have the information and resources needed to help and prevent those youths from living a life that would cause them to wind up in jail. What it comes down to is whether our society is willing to place time and effort in finding the cause behind criminal intent. I know some think why should we put any effort into them, especially after they murdered or raped someone? Although background and lifestyle can't be directly attributed to crime, why hold people responsible for our society's pitfalls that contributed to them being that way? It's not a baby's fault if he or she is born to a junkie mom who exposes him or her to drugs his whole life and that is all he or she knows. I understand that people commit crimes for many reasons and may have the intent of killing someone for their own specific reason or purpose. It's just that we don't know those reasons or causes unless we take the time to figure them out instead of killing our resources, and yes, I'm calling inmates resources that we can use to improve our society. McNaughton is a Topeka junior in journalism. the death penalty in Kansas In Kansas, the death penalty was declared unconstitutional on Dec. 17, 2004. Sentenced criminals who committed offenses before this date may still receive the death penalty. Minimum Age to Receive the Death Penalty: 18 Does Kansas Have Life Without Parole: Yes. Senate Bill 422 was signed by the Governor on April 16, 2004. Who Decides The Possible Death Sentence: Jury Source:deathpenalty.info.org COMMENTARY Congressional distractions at colligate level JORDAN WILLIAMS With all this hubbub brewing about U.S. senators running for the presidency, I couldn't help but notice some parallels with student senators vying for the student presidency. While sometimes humorous on the student level, the U.S. Senate's wasting of precious time and money can be frustrating and perplexing. Case in point: last semester a bill was introduced urging student senators to take a stance on hate crimes. The only apparent reason for this bill's existence was to pressure the senators to assume a political posture because of a heinous act to an off-campus fraternity. The only problem in particular was the senate members spending upwards of an hour debating whether they should send a notice to university officials and state representatives, reiterating a policy to which all university personnel adhere and acknowledge anyway. The senate narrowly decided to table the lackluster bill indefinitely, which in turn lead to an incendiary ordeal. It's interesting to consider that nearly one-third of the student senators are minorities. Why was it necessary for the U.S. Congress and senate to be extraordinarily inefficient and/or daft in 2005? Was an emergency session for Terri Schiavo, weeks spent debating the legality of flag burning or months spent glorifying heterosexual marriages obligatory or even imperative? Consider that all the other foreign and domestic issues — such as changing strategies for the war and increasing minimum wage — took more than a year to come to frutition. It seems at times the U.S. Congress has its priorities screwed up, or at the very least forgets to put on its thinking cap. Not to denigrate Student Senate and imply that some senators go Rick Santorum crazy and introduce senseless bills. There are good weeks and bad weeks in the Student Senate chambers, just like our good-old grown up senate and congress. I like to think that the president Hannah Love is something of a Hillary Clinton-ess figure. She is strong, authoritative and has a fashionable blonde hair. Both women have assumed great positions of political authority and have yet to cause any gender-based problems. In my Communications 332 class last semester, some male dolt had the gall to not only imply that a woman would do an inferior job in the oval office, but also to explicitly state that a woman couldn't do it sufficiently. I may be wrong, but the state of Kansas, the University of Kansas and the state of New York haven't gone up in flames because a woman was at the helm of the governorship, student body presidency or senatorship. I suspect this season's student body presidency race will become mired in the briar and nettle of disengenuous implications from one side or the other, just like that of the national race. I do concede that both the U.S. Congress and student senators tax themselves with endless hours of hard work and tedious number crunching. Yet sometimes a lengthy debate on encouraging free and reasonable debate in student senate is not only a political time eater but a diversion from pertinent and stressful work. Oh, and ask Drew Faust how Harvard is faring under her leadership. Williams is a Coffeyville junior in English and Pre-Law.

Kansas signed 20 players to national letters of intent Wednesday. The team signed three junior college transfers, one major college transfer and 16 high school players, including four in-state prep prospects. "We are pleased with our class overall." Kansas coach Mark Mangino said in a press release. "We have been able to meet some immediate needs and some long-range needs." Because of graduation and some early departures for the NFL Draft, the team's most pressing needs are at offensive tackle, running back and punter. Kansas looked to the collegiate ranks in attempts to fill those holes by signing running back Jocques Crawford, offensive tackle Nathan D'Cunha and punter Alonso Rojas. At the positions already filled by veteran Jayhawks, the coaching staff started building for the future. One of those building blocks could be quarterback Kale Pick, Pick, from Dodge City, decommitted from Arkansas in the middle of the 2007 season in favor of Kansas. The 6-foot-1, 200 pound prospect played just two games this season because of an injury but recorded 1,779 passing yards as a junior. Pick, along with in-state defensive tackle Darius Parish, committed to Kansas after the Jayhawks started piling up victories last season. "If Kansas was .500, I don't think Kale Pick would have changed his commitment from Arkansas to KU". Rivals.com recruiting analyst Jon Kirby said. Parish, from Wichita North High School, could see the field early in his collegiate career. With defensive tackle James McClinton out of eligibility, the 325-pound Parish - originally a Nebraska commit - could play in 2008. Other freshly signed jayhawks that could make contributions early include tight ends Tim Biere, Tanner Hawkinson and Nick Plato, and wide receiver Daymond Patterson. Four signees - D'Cunha, Pick, Plato and wide receiver Rod Harris - are already on campus for the spring semester. Mangino's signing day press conference was originally scheduled for Wednesday afternoon but was cancelled because of inclement weather conditions. —Edited by Samuel Lamb BOERGERTY 7 Dodge City High school senior quarterback Kale Pick walks off the field during the Watermelon scrimmage, in this Aug. 24, 2007 file photo taken at Memorial Stadium in Dodge City.

PHOTO COURTESY OF DODGE CITY DAILY GLOBE 》 COMMENTARY Rush makes a strong comeback after surgery BY BRYAN WHEELER 8WHEELER@KANSAN.COM It was June 1, 2007, weeks before the NBA draft, when junior guard Brandon Rush underwent surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The injury resulted in Rush withdrawing his name from the NBA draft and returning to Kansas. On Monday, the men's basketball team defeated Missouri 90-71. Rush had just tied his season high 19 points and 6 rebounds. With the exception of the giant black brace that protects his knee, it's hard to imagine that Rush ever got hurt, but it has been eight months of continuous recovery. "I'm starting to get back to 100 percent. I'm gonna try and take off the knee brace this week," Rush said after the game. Rush is hoping to take the brace off during practice this week and play without it for Saturday's game against Baylor. BASEBALL On media day at Allen Fieldhouse, Rush sat in a chair on the basketball court as reporters swarmed around him. It was several hours before "Late Night in the Phog," and reporters drilled the 6-foot-6 guard with questions on when he was expected to return. Rush had not even fully healed from the injury and was already a preseason All-Big 12 player.

After taking the summer off, Land expects to return to his freshman form this Rachel Sevmour/KANSAN Making good on lost potential KU infielder works to regain stellar form after struggling in sophomore season BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com Baseball has always been a redemptive game. Each new day brings with it the opportunity to exorcise yesterday's demons. A 3-for-4 game with a home run and five RBI puts an 0-for-4, three-strikeout performance the day before in the rearview mirror for any hitter. However, when Kansas' 2007 season ended with a 4-2 loss to Nebraska, there was no tomorrow to improve its 28-30 record or improve its 9th place ranking in the Big 12 standings. Nor was there another game for first baseman Preston Land to receive salvation for a woeful season. Land went 0-for-1 that day and his average dropped from an already underwhelming .208 to .206. "He really had a disappointing sophomore year and I don't think anybody was more disappointed in his performance than For the season, Land had the lowest batting average and RBI total (27) of Kansas' regular starters. He was next-to-last in home runs (4), strikeouts (53), slugging percentage (.355) and on-base percentage (.346) among Kansas starters. But things hadn't always been so rough for Land. he was," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. As a freshman, Land started 49 games for the Jayhawks and — with just four more at bats than he had last season — hit .314 with nine home runs, 33 RBI, a .572 slugging percentage and a .422 on-base percentage. Having posted such impressive numbers for a freshman, Land was named preseason All-Big 12 by Baseball America in 2007. However, Land's sophomore season never got on track as he hovered around the Mendoza Line most of the spring. SEE LAND ON PAGE 5B MEN'S BASKETBALL Foul trouble forces Arthur to work in limited minutes BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com The lanky freshman forward scored on offensive rebounds, popped in a couple three-pointers and reminded Russell Robinson of Wayne Simien. He had 21 points that November night last season and that was just the first game for Darrell Arthur. After that debut, people started to learn about his nickname, Shady. It was a shortened version of Slim Shady, and fans and teammates wanted to know if they'd seen the real Slim Shady. More than a year later, has anyone seen the real Slim Shady? The best way to describe Arthur's game is well, shady, or at least inconsistent. Sometimes he scores at will. Sometimes he disappears for long stretches. Sometimes he attacks the offensive glass. Sometimes he doesn't grab a board. About the only thing he does consistently is foul, and the foul trouble is keeping him from building consistency in all the other areas. Arthur insists he's working at eliminating the fools. Most of the buzz around KU basketball at the beginning of the season was about Arthur. Self called him the most improved player. Teammates were wowed by his offensive performances during workouts. "I'm trying," he said. "He's just amazing," junior guard Brandon Rush said. "He scores non-stop." A breakout season seemed like a guarantee. Self even said that the offense would be at its best when it went through Arthur. But 23 games into the season, Arthur has yet to develop consistently into a consistent offensive or rebounding force.

He had a smile on his face, and a lot to be happy about after a game that kept the country tuned in all the way through the very last Bud Light commercial. It wasn't just the game that made the commissioner happy, though it would have been hard to write a better script than Eli Manning leading the New York Giants to a last-minute touchdown to beat the big, bad New England Patriots. Nearly half the country watched at one time or another, making it the most watched Super Bowl ever and further cementing the NFL's position as America's favorite sport. Good times indeed for a league that seems to have everything going its way. In an increasingly fragmented sports landscape, the NFL is the proverbial 500-pound gorilla, flush and fat with no real challenges to its dominance. A half century after the Giants and Baltimore Colts played the iconic championship game that ushered in the league's new era, people can't get enough of pro football. Things are so good that not only are the owners getting rich but they're letting the players enjoy some of the fruits of success, too. Los Angeles still doesn't have a team, but it doesn't seem to matter anymore. There are billion dollar stadiums going up in Dallas and New Jersey, and the league is so determined to expand even further that there will be games played in both England and Canada next season. Goodell has gotten generally good marks himself for his performance since taking over the league, and he hasn't hesitated to crack the whip for misconduct on sidelines and in strip clubs. Still, issues remain, and they can't all be blamed on one Pennsylvania senator who picked just the right time to issue a good sound bite. None threaten the league's runaway success by themselves, but Goodell might be wise to address them all by the time preseason camps open.

The amazing thing about the NFL isn't that the players are freakishly big and strong, but that no one seems to know how they did it. Unlike baseball, no one seems to care, either, even when stars such as Shawne Merriman and Rodney Harrison are suspended for performance-enhancing drugs. Suspensions are rare, though, meaning a lot of players are either getting away with being juiced because the testing is not all that good or that they are just naturally 6-foot-2 and 275 pounds of solid muscle. Put Spygate to rest. The commissioner's initial reaction in fining Bill Belichick $500,000 and taking away a first-round pick from the Patriots for cheating was right on, but since then there have been more questions than answers. Why were the tapes destroyed? Why didn't anyone from the NFL talk to the cameraman himself? Why are there new rumors that the Patriots taped the 2002 Super Bowl practice of the St. Louis Rams? Why does Sen. Figure out something to do with former players who need help. This is an issue shared jointly by the league and its players' association, both of which have not been overly sympathetic to the plight of disabled players. Rudy's Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence!

He played his freshman season at Bowling Green and averaged 36.5 yards per punt before returning home to Miami Dade community college for his sophomore season. Rojas did not play football at Miami Dade, but he continued working out and kept his eligibility intact. He also considered UNLV and Colorado State and will be a in the 2008 season sophmore in the 2005 season. **Expert's take:** "If you talk to anyone who has followed kickers and punters, the one thing they'll tell you is they have to adjust in their freshman year – playing in front of crowds, those types of things. Rojas has already done that at Bowling Green. When he was at Bowling Green, they played Ohio State and Wisconsin, so Kansas is getting a punter that has already gone through the learning experience." - Rivals.com recruiting analyst Jon Kirbv PETER HUBBARD Name: Nathan D'Cunha D'Cunha Name: Nathan D'Cunha Position: Offensive tackle height/weight: 6-foot-7, 307 Homeetown/previous school: Campbelltown, Australia / Santa Barbara CC Stats and info: D'Cunha, an Australian native, played on the Australian team in the World Games and competed against teams made up of players from NFL Europe.

HEADER Jim Mora takes helm of Seattle Seahawks coaching KIRKLAND, Wash. — Jim Mora will succeed Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, beginning with the 2009 season. After serving as the assistant head coach and defensive backs coach for one more season, the 46-year-old Mora will begin a new, four-year contract as the head coach. Seahawks president Tim Ruskell and chief executive officer Tod Leiwke both emphasized during a news conference Wednesday that the move gives the team stability and unity. "What (Holmgren's) done here by announcing his retirement a year ahead of time, has afforded this organization to make a smooth transition, to be seamless, to be non-chaotic"Ruskell said."Which is kind of rare in the sports world—certainly in the NFL. "We all know about the elongated processes and the back-stabbing, some of the ugly things that can go on. Well, we're not going to have that." Holmgren pushed for the announcement now, so players who are poised to enter free agency next month can judge Seattle while knowing its coach will be beyond next season. "This makes a lot of sense for the organization," Holmgren said in a team statement. "Jim is a talented coach who already had a measure of success in this league and has all the tools here needed to succeed." Both Holmgren and Mora chose not to attend the news conference because Ruskell said they didn't want to "make a big splash" and overlook the team's mission for 2008: sending Holmgren out with the franchise's first Super Bowl title, after five consecutive playoff appearances.

He had the same problem last season, and those fouls cost him minutes. Monday night against Missouri, Arthur had three fouls by the mid- way point of the first half. He didn't get into the second half until there was about 12 minutes left, and the game was no longer in doubt. "I caught some bad breaks trying to help over and take a charge and got another early," Arthur said. "It was just bad. I can't catch a break for nothing." He has to hope the guards don't leave him out to dry. Arthur's frogs aren't always his fault. When a guard gets beat on the dribble. Arthur has to come over and help. He's vulnerable for a blocking foul when he does that. Sometimes, Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson try too hard to get steals. They overcompensate, don't get the ball and leave their man with a wide open lane. Guess whose job it is to stop that man? Yep, Arthur's. Self said that's not fair to the big man. "Our guards don't understand that when they don't guard the big guys foul more because the guards get in the paint," Self said. "Certainly we have to do a better job of guarding the ball." Kansas is still doing OK with Arthur in foul trouble. The Jayhawks may play their best when he's the focal point of the offense, but centers Cole Aldrich and Sasha Kaun have been good replacements. They combined for 18 points and 13 rebounds against Missouri. Arthur acknowledged it was good for them to get more playing time, but he wanted the minutes, too. To get them, he's going to have to play smarter. And when he does that, the Arthur who can score and rebound consistently will likely appear. He'll finally be the real Slim Shady. Edited by Jeff Briscoe Veiled Truth Muslim Women's Lives in a Climate of Controversy Thursday, February 7th, 7 p.m. Big 12 Room, Kansas Union Sponsored by Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and American Assn. of University Women, Lawrence Chapter The ETWRC is a program of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center...contributing to Student Success Sprinting towards the Big Apple >> TRACK AND FIELD Track and Field hopeful about NYC Invitational after success in Nebraska BY DANNY NORDSTROM dnordstrom@kansan.com Junior spinter Nickesha Anderson and sophomore pole-vaulter Jordan Scott seemed extremely winded after Monday's practice. "I'm about to pass out," Anderson said. It seems that hard work in practice is paying off for the University of Kansas Track and Field team. Last weekend, the Jayhwaks took home three titles at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Nebraska, facing off against nationally ranked teams like Baylor, Kansas State and Arizona. Tough competition and an atmosphere away from home didn't faze the Jayhawks. "There was a lot of stiff competition with teams like Nebraska and Baylor. It was a bit more competitive than it had been in the past four meets." Anderson said. "Overall we did excellent. We are gradually improving each time." Senior pole-vaucher Kate Sultanova was not fazed a bit, posting an automatic qualifying jump for the NCAA Championships and bringing home a victory in the women's pole-vault with a jump of 4.20 meters (13-09.25 ft.). At the time of the competition, Sultanova's jump was the highest women's vault in the country. She was given the top female award at the Invitational, and was named Big 12 Athlete of the Week earlier this week. This is Sultanova's second time receiving the Big 12 honor. Also victorious was Anderson in both the 60-meter dash and 200-meter dash. "For the 60-meter dash, I actually stumbled in the semi finals and in the finals," she said. "But I maintained my composure and didn't lose my focus after I stumbled. The 200 [meter dash] just went smoothly." Anderson tied her 7.38-second school record time in the 60-meter dash and set a new school record in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.75 seconds. For the first time this season, defending NCAA weight throw champion Egor Agafonov was able to compete. The senior from Togliatti, Russia took home first place in the weight throw with an NCAA provisional mark of 21.24 meters (69-08.25 ft.). "It was my first meet this season and it went really well," he said. "It was a good start." While Jordan Scott did not win the men's pole vault for the first time this season, he did tie his season best performance of 5.35 meters (17-06.50 ft.), giving him second place. He commented on his performances so far this season. "I've been consistently over 17.2 (feet) every meet," he said. "I'm constantly improving on technique and objectives. I just hope the bigger bars come soon." Scott credited his impressive performance at the Husker Invitational to using a bigger pole. Scott said that using a thicker and stiffer pole demands more strength and technique, but allows him to be sent higher, as the recoil is much stronger. "I'm constantly jumping on bigger poles. I jumped on the biggest pole I've ever jumped on in my life in this meet," he said. "A bigger pole is key at this point. I'm getting faster and stronger." Also impressive was senior Crystal Manning's season best effort in the women's triple jump at 12.99 meters (42-06.25 feet) given her second place. Junior Victoria Howard placed second in the 200-meter dash to Anderson, breaking the 24-second mark for the first time in her career. On the men's side, sophomore Bret Imgrund and senior Patrick McGrowan took second and third in the 3,000-meter run with times of 8 minutes, 31.2 seconds and 8:32.88 respectively. Next weekend the Jayhawks travel to New York City for the New Balance Collegiate Invitational. Anderson and her teammates are not worried about the tough competition ahead. "We as a team are not intimidated by other teams because we believe we're just going out there to have fun," she said. "You know, everybody puts their pants on the same way: one leg at a time," she said. —Edited by Madeline Hyden WHEELER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) At this time, he couldn't even participate in contact or even layup drills. Rush told reporters, however, that he could participate in everything but contact drills. Coach Bill Self just laughed at this and referred to his star guard as "Dr. Rush." "Brandon will not be the Brandon we saw at 100 percent last year, but I think he can be 100 percent of the new Brandon," Self said. "Physically, he is going to be 85 to 95 percent of what he was, but that doesn't mean he won't be a better player." Once the team's Late Night basketball scrimmage was ready to start, Rush acted as if he were going to go out with his teammates for some warm up layups. His trainers and coaches quickly stopped him. Doctors anticipated Rush would be ready to return to play on Dec. 1, but he returned two weeks early for Kansas' third game of the season against Washburn. He didn't start the game but came in midway through the first half. Once Rush entered the court he received a standing ovation from the fans. In 12 minutes, he scored seven points and had two assists. "I was a little nervous because I had not been out on the court in awhile, only in practice," Rush said after the game. "I was a little nervous but I was not worrying about my knee at all." Rush's nerves may not have completely calmed until Self criticized him for his aggressiveness after Kansas' defeat of Loyola just before Big 12 Conference play started. Through eight games since then, Rush is averaging 15.6 points, 7 rebounds and 2.63 assists per game. When asked about whether Self's remarks on the aggressiveness of his play Monday night, Rush said, "It had everything to do with it, I just don't want him saying that anymore." It's been four months since Self talked about Brandon becoming a 100 percent of the new, recovered Brandon. With his improved performance since the start of conference play, Rush is playing as consistent of basketball as he ever has. After Monday's game, Self said, "I still think he can do a little more." This Saturday, Rush may play without his knee brace for the first time this season. While Rush is playing the best basketball he's played since tearing his ACL over the summer, the 100 percent of new Brandon may not be here yet. Maybe we will see 100 percent of the new Brandon this season. Maybe we won't. Either way, Brandon Rush has turned into the All-Big 12 player he was picked to be in the preseason.

"Looking back on it, I don't know what happened." Land said. "I don't think anybody really can explain what happened. I talked to different coaches and talked to different scouts who saw me and they just said, 'You know, guys have that kind of year.' Exhausted by his season-long slump, Land took a page out of forerunner Jayhawk Kyle Murphy's book for struggling hitters. "Getting towards August I was like, 'Wow, this is really boring. I don't have any routine of going to the field every day, practicing every day, working out every day.' So I was so anxious to get back into it," Land said. of summer baseball. After hitting, 153 in 2006 for Kansas, Murphy took the following summer off from baseball and went on to hit 332 in 2007. So, Land did the same thing last summer. Instead of heading to the ballpark day-in and day-out as he held his entire life, he took summer classes. In all, Land played in just five games, but there were times he missed the daily grind In the fall, Land felt like his old self. He returned fresh and found himself working harder, practicing longer and watching more film than he had before. By the end of the fall season, he said, his average was close to .500. "It helped me mentally," Land said of last season. "I know how bad I can be and I don't want to ever get back there in my career again." Entering his junior season, Land hopes to live up to the All-Big 12 honors he received last season. If he can, he'll give Kansas a tremendous boost to its lineup, which already figures to receive consistent production from six of its other starting position players. But even if Land should struggle again, he's proven he can still be an asset on the field. Despite his subpar offensive numbers last season, Land never let his offense affect his defense. In 400 defensive chances, Land committed just four errors, posting a .990 fielding percentage — the highest among starting Kansas infelders. So, while Land must wait two more weeks for a chance to put that last 0-1-for 1-day behind him, his coach is already counting on him to deliver for Kansas in 2008. "I'm hopeful that he'll learn from last year and the experiences of what happens when you fail." Price said. "He has all the physical abilities to be a double-digit home run guy for us and be an impact hitter in the middle of that lineup."

While the Tigers have had recent success, a Nebraska Cornhusker team that knows what it takes to get to Omaha will test them. With a wide variety of teams in the Big 12 competing for a post-season berth, this may be the deepest the conference has been in recent years. Missouri Tigers The University of Missouri will enter the year as Baseball America's 6th team in the country. The Tigers will look to start their trip to Omaha behind the best pitcher in the conference, junior Aaron Crow, Missouri's strong point long point will be its pitching as it will turn to sophomore Kyle Gibson and junior Rick Zagone, who had COLOMBIA records of 8-3 and 7-2 last season, respectively. If the Tigers can find ways to manufacture runs, they will be in good shape, because they have one of the stronger rotations in the country. Two of those people who will need to produce run support are senior designated hitter Jacob Priday, who hit .297 with 13 long balls last season, and sophomore left fielder Aaron Senne, who hit .289 with 43 runs batted in. Nebraska Cornhuskers The Nebraska Cornhuskers know what it takes to get to Omaha and the College World Series. The key to returning in 2008 will be eliminating their late game meltdowns. The Cornhuskers return with senior starting pitcher Johnny Dorn, who was their best pitcher last year. Joining the team this year are two players transferring in from successful programs; sophomore pitcher Joe Hatasakl f r o m Arizona N State and senior catcher Cody Neer from Florida. Hatasaki will try to give the starting rotation stability, while Neer will look to contribute from both behind the plate and in the batter's box. If the Cornhuskers are going to be successful this year, it will be with a variety of new players. Kansas State Wildcats T h e e Wildcats enter the 2008 season as a team that might sneak up on others. Kansas State returns a pair of pitchers C junior center fielder Byron Wiley to be successful and build off his 2017 season. In 2007, Wiley led the team in hits, home runs and runs batted in, and his .366 batting average was the best on the team. who can keep them close with anyone they will play this year. Senior starting pitcher Brad Hutt will look to start things off strong and then the Wildcats will turn to one of the best dosers in the conference, senior Daniel Edwards. Along with decent pitching, the Wildcats will need Kansas Jayhawks The Kansas Jayhawks return several players in 2008, while Coach Ritch Price may KU have gotten his best recruiting class yet. Some of the key additions will be Free State graduate Travis Blankenship, who pitched at Johnson County Community College last year, and outfielder Jason Brunansky. These new Jayhawks will add depth to the Hawks in the future, but it will be the veteran players who will carry them now. Leading the way will be senior utility player Ryne Price, who hit .270 with 10 home runs, and redshirt senior left fielder John Allman, who had an average of .333 and had 16 doubles. The Jayhawks will be flying under the radar as the season begins, but very possibly could be a team hoisting a Big 12 trophy as they did two years ago. Iowa State and Colorado don't field baseball teams, but with only four teams playing baseball in the northern half, this year's Big 12 conference appears strong. While Missouri enters the year as the heavy favorite, the other three teams all have the ability to steal the crown. Edited by Jared Duncan All the Places You Can Go...

Boogaard is coming into her own as a player, averaging 11.6 points, 7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks during the last five games. Her brother Derek is an enforcer for the Minnesota Wild of the NHL. Q: How does it feel to be named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week? A: It feels awesome but it was kind of shocking. I have great teammates that pass me the ball and I'm thankful to them. They're the reason I got it. STINS 55 Q: Growing up, were you a bigger fan of basketball or hockey? A: Well I grew up in a hockey family, like I was pretty much born in a hockey rink. So I really liked hockey and I tried it but it wasn't something for me so I tried basketball. I'd say I was a bigger fan of basketball. Q: What's the biggest dif ference between Canada and Kansas? A: WITH FRESHMAN CENTER KRYSTEN BOOGAARD A: Definitely the weather. My mom told me the other day that it was minus 50, so it's kind of weird to me that it's thunderstorming here (in February). WARRIS 19 Q: Who are some of your basketball heroes? A: Lisa Leslie (of the Los Angeles Sparks) because she's also 6-foot-5 and a great basket ball player, and Tammy Sutton-Brown (of the Indiana Fever) because she's Canadian. O: Q: Two of your brothers started a controversial camp, the Derek and Aaron Fighting Camp, for kids ages 12-18. What's your stance on the camp? A. A: I think it's a good thing that they're doing that because they're teaching kids how to protect themselves if they do get into a situation where someone is going to try and fight them. It's just like Tae Kwon Do or anything like that. The game plan is not to go out and fight somebody. Q: What's an ideal day for you? --- A: Waking up when I want to- without an alarm clock Probably going to the mall and later working on my free throws. Q: In what part of your game have you made the most improvement since the first game? A: My confidence has improved a lot since the first game. I wasn't really sure what I was doing in the first couple of games here; I was just doing my own thing, which is not so great. I've learned a lot about how Bonnie wants things run so that's my biggest improvement. Q: What's been the most rewarding thing about this season? A: Improving together as a team, knowing the things that we need to work on and every one driving together for the same goals. PENNINGTON Q: Q: Was it ever difficult growing up as such a tall kid? A: Yeah, in a way, because you would get picked on by some kids like, "Oh, you're so tall." I was always the tallest wherever I went. In elementary school and high school, I was the tallest female ever. The only difficult part was when the other kids would make fun of me. {The Place To Be Our VIP!} Save the Date!

He began sacking next to me and striking I made sure to get his attention any way I could when we worked together. Sometimes I would sack groceries next to him and strike up a conversation. Sometimes it was more extreme, like poking him or even tripping him when he walked by (I was only a sophomore in high school, so give me a break). After a little while, he finally started responding. up conversations. He started tripping and poking me, too. It was a beautiful thing, indeed. I had succeeded. Even after I was promoted to cashier, we still found ways to flirt. He would poke me with a long roll of foil. I would suggest the customer choose paper bags instead of plastic (because sackers hate sacking in paper).

He brought back the British skinny-jean fashion, a pendant for eating only vegetables, and a relationship that had never felt so perfect. The only problem is his boyfriend is now 5,000 miles away. The last day Weideman, Omaha, Neb., senior saw his boyfriend, Andy, was Jan. 7 at London Heathrow Airport. Andy dropped him off and they said their goodbyes. Both cried, but they agreed to somehow make it work. Since then, they have found ways to keep in touch through Skype, a software program that allows users to make free telephone calls over the Internet. The couple also communicates through Facebook, e-mail or sometimes on the phone, and Weideman says they have interaction of some sort every day. Of course, their relationship isn't exactly easy, especially because of the six-hour time difference. Sprint D7 02.07.2008 "For me, the most frustrating time is when I know I want to call him and I can't do it. Especially when I can't drunk-dial him, because I'm the king of drunk-dialing." Weideman says. Caroline Adoliffson, Halmstad, Sweden senior, shares similar frustrations. She is studying in Lawrence for a semester, and before arriving at KU, Adoliffson lived with her boyfriend of four years, but now the two only get to talk once a week on Skype and sometimes through text messages. What's most frustrating, Adolffson says, is that she and her boyfriend can't fully eliminate distractions, even during their once-a-week conversation. "I think our situation is a lot easier, though, because we've known each other for so long, and we trust each other," Adolffson "You have to have the willingness to be together, but the courage to be apart." —Larry James Larry james,professional speaker,author and relationship coach,says the key to a long-distance relationship is the couple's trust in each other."You can't have intimacy in a relationship unless you have absolute trust first," James says."If there's suspicions about what each other is doing,then it won't work." Christine Maxwell, Overland Park senior, has faced the difficulties of a long-distance relationship since her boyfriend moved to Seattle when he graduated almost a year ago. Maxwell and her boyfriend started dating when she was a freshman and he was a sophomore at the University. They used to see each other almost every day. Now, they see each other only four to six weeks. All three students, of course, miss the cuddling, the phone calls and the face-to-face interaction that come with relationships in which distance isn't a big factor, but they've found ways to make their situations work by still communicating with their better halves "The No. I problem in a relationship is a lack of communication," James says, "If something annoys you more than once or twice, you better talk about it." James says that a long-distance relationship can be positive, though, because the couple has an opportunity to grow together while they're apart with the hope of eventually being together. "You have to have the willingness to be together, but the courage to be apart." James says. Weideman says he mainly misses the things he used to take for granted, such as playing "Guitar Hero" with his boyfriend or waiting at the bus stop together. "I'm trying to be more easygoing." Weideman says. "It's a good thing to not always get whatever I want whenever I want it." All three students say they will eventually be reunited with their significant others. Weideman plans to move to England for work (and now for his boyfriend) soon after he graduates. Adolffson will get to see her boyfriend again mid-May after her studying in Lawrence is done, and Maxwell plans to move to Seattle after she graduates. For now, though. Weideman says he can appreciate just a two-line Facebook message from his boyfriend in the morning to make his day a little better. After all, it's the little things that keep his relationship going, and in any relationship, that's usually all it takes. SAMSUNG 04 02.07.2008 VOL.5 ISS.19 for more information: www.longdistancerelationships.net photo illustration by Alex Bonham Carter 5 5 questions 5 questions Bill Fisher award-winning adult film director Tyler Noah Overland Park senior and film student WHAT ARE THE HARDEST AND EASIEST THINGS ABOUT YOUR LINE OF WORK? The hardest is to find girls who have families that are okay with them being in the industry. The easiest thing is going to work every day knowing that my job is to get girls naked. THE hardest is getting the classes you want because it's a program on the rise. The easiest thing is that it’s a major where I can definitely do what I like to do. It’s something you wouldn’t have gotten to enjoy as much in high school. HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE FILM INDUSTRY? I started as a photographer and then got into video, starting my own film company. While I was shooting a TV show with Dennis Rodman, I met Jenna Jameson and she wanted me to start shooting adult films. I've had my business for 15 years, but I've only shot adult films for four. I always liked movies growing up as a kid. I got a camera when I tore my ACL, and I began filming my friends that skateboard a lot. WHAT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT THING YOU'VE HAD TO FILM? I personally don't like anal scenes. Also, one time, I had to stand in a pool up to my waist in water, and I had to have a specific light on my camera that plugged into the wall. Every time I took a shot I got electrocuted. Snow boarding in zero-degree weather with no gloves and no boots. WHAT IS THE BEST MUSIC TO HAVE IN YOUR FILMS? I like everything. I make the music go along with whatever genre the films are. I'm a sucker for early '90s alternative music that people don't hear that often anymore. WHO ARE THE BIGGEST INFLUENCES IN YOUR LIFE? My father was a huge influence and his best friend, Helmut Nuton. Helmut was a photographer that my father made me work for a lot during the summer when I was 14. He showed me a lot of stuff about photography that I never appreciated until I got into the industry. In the skateboarding industry, Ty Evans and Frank Mortagne. They kind of set the standard for the skateboarding video today. Brad Bird is the director and screenwriter of the Incredibles and Ratatouille. I respect him, too, because he is bringing back classic pure-hearted entertainment that makes you fall in love with the characters. .

Some sex toys and dildos contain chemicals called phthalates, which makes hard plastics like PVC softer and gives a jelly-like feeling. But phthalates are endocrine disruptors, which means the chemicals mimic hormones and do damage to sex organs.The European Union has banned the use of phthalates in children's toys since 2004. According to www.treehugger.com, a surefire warning sign is disclaimer that you might find on sex toy packages that say that the device should be used for "novelty purposes only." novelty To avoid the more dangerous end of the chemical spectrum, look for sex toys and dildos that are made from hard plastics, silicon, metal or glass. As with all your purchases, try to find products that are labeled "natural" or "organic." Steer clear from petroleum-based products and anything with artificial scents, flavors and colors. Find products that are sexy but durable and rechargeable. Although these products might be more expensive initially, you get more bans for your buck in the long run. Unfortunately, there are not many green products available locally—both Richard Osburn, the owner of Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St, and Holly Kirkpatrick, manager of Priscilla's, 1206 W 23rd St., say they did not carry any specifically environmentally friendly products—but a quick Google search should satisfy your green spot. Latex and lambskin condoms are generally thought to be biodegradable, but polyurethane condoms are basically plastic, which does not biodegrade and creates more landfill waste. Still, the best green love option available is to find someone who isn't going to fuck over you or the planet. For single execuxes, there are several online dating sites that promise to hook you up with your green soul mate. an gr hol spiritu One of the oldest green dating sites is www. greensingles.com, which first started out as a postal newsletter in 1985. Lee Schulman, president of GreenMatch LLC, says the site has just over 14,000 members with 800 new members each month. Schulman says that GreenSingles was created "as a place for progressive singles in the environmental, vegetarian and animal rights community and other green singles who love the outdoors, holistic living, personal growth and spirituality to meet up and network for friendship, dating, romance and the exchange of information and ideas." Other dating Web sites for the environmentally friendly include www.green-passions.com.www.human2human.com. and www.veggierromance.com. Of course, there's always the Lawrence Farmers' Market, the Wal-Mart Recycling Center, Critical Mass gatherings or the produce department at the Merc to find that special someone, too.

Add a little spice to your sex life by dressing up in something that can be licked—or eaten—right off you. Edible underwear is not known for its excellent taste, though. "It was gross. Seriously it tasted like stale twizzlers," says Katie Eads, Kansas State alumnus. Why not make the experience taste good? Pick up your favorite fruity candy and fashion a pair of your own for $5 or less. I began by unwrapping and laying out Starbursts on wax paper. Place the candies in an upside down triangle formation one layer thick. This will make the front of the panties. Use a variety of colors or create a pattern for a vibrant look. Make the layout slightly smaller than will fit. Once all of the candies are laid out, place the wax paper in the microwave for 30 seconds. After microwaving, the Starbursts should be warm and soft. Using a rolling pin, slowly applying only a little pressure, roll out the candies to smash them together and make the underwear the size you need it. Make the back of the underwear using the same method. Next, fashion the sides out of Twizzlers. I used strings from the pull-and-peels and wove them together in an under, over pattern to make the panty strings. Lift the derwear and slide ers underneath. Stick microwave for 10 bursts firmly onto together. is to ing in the e candy. top corner of the underwear and slide the end of the Twizzlers underneath. Stick everything back in the microwave for 10 seconds. Press the Starbursts firmly onto the Twizzlers to "glue" them together. Do the same to attach the Twizzler sides to the back of the underwear. Place everything in the refrigerator for a few minutes to harden the candy. Try using whatever candy you enjoy most. Eads even suggested using string or thread and Froot Loops for a crunchier pair.

You start kissing, things get progressively heated, clothes start coming off, and you're anticipating a pleasurable experience. At this moment, you have an important decision to make: condom or no condom? What makes a person say, "Yes, condom" or "No, no condom tonight?" Some students say it all just depends on how well you and your partner know each other. senior, says he always condom when he's a girl for the time. Once he gets to know the girl and knows she doesn't have any sexually transmitted diseases, he says he stops using condoms. Jessica Phan, Overland Park senior, also says that knowing someone makes a difference. She says she almost always uses condoms, unless she is in a monogamous relationship and both she and her partner have been tested for STDs. But even then, Phan says, she prefers to use them because they make her feel safe. She says she likes having that peace of mind and knowing that she is taking care of herself. Fear of unwanted pregnancy and contracting diseases keeps people reaching for those boxes in nightstands and underwear drawers. Torie Kim, Overland Park senior, says that since she switched to birth control pills from the birth control shot Depo-Provera, she has become more insistent on using condoms. Kim says the pill's effectiveness depends on so many factors—like the time of day she takes it—that she always wants to have a back-up method of birth control. Kim says that she likes and usually uses Trojan Ultra Thin condoms, and although she admits that condoms can be a hassle, protection against pregnancy and STDs trumps any inconvenience. Shelite says he simply dislikes the feel of condoms. "It's not real," he says. "It's feel like there is too much between me and the girl." He says, that some condonds tend to dry up, which kills the mood and usually brings sex to an early and Daytha Lindburg, a physician's assistant in obstetrics and gynecology at Mowery Clinic in Salina, highly recommends using condoms as a method of STD prevention. She says that even women who use birth control should still use condoms to ensure that they will not spread or contract diseases and infections. Most students can agree that condoms serve an excellent purpose, so what makes them so inconvenient? Why do some couples opt to leave condoms out of romance? wanted end. But, if he has to wear one, Shelite's condom of choice is Trojan. Phan stresses the necessity of lubrication with condoms. She says she sees how it's uncomfortable for a guy to wear one, but she also says girls can up the arousal factor by putting the condom on for him. Phan prefers to use Trojan Magnum condoms with warming sensation, but "only if the size is comparable to the product," she says. Some men and women can have trouble with condoms because of latex allergies, Lindburg says, but condom companies have accommodated by making latex-free products, which are usually made of lamb skin. Lindberg also says that condoms with spermicidal lubricant can cause bladder infections in females, so women should consider avoiding them. Lindburg says that when in need of lubrication, you should never use Vaseline because it tends to weaken the latex in the condom and increase the risk of a ruptured rubber.According to Lindburg, the best lube solutions are personal lubricants, such as KY, or lubricated condoms. "it's kind of like playing Russian roulette," she says. "They can break or leak." And, though many students cite pregnancy prevention as their main motivation for using condoms. Lindburg says that condoms are not the most effective method of birth control. Bottom line: Couples should work together to find their ideal method of protection. "It's all about preference. You have to kind of play around and find out what works and doesn't work for you." Lindbay says. So try some clear, some pink,some warming, some extended pleasure, some twisted pleasure. Create your own condom smorgasbord,and then have fun finding the perfect pleasure for you and your partner. the coals product containing a mixture in some ingestion. For complete info how to use a cooler or pu D - The word "condom" was first used in 1706 in a poem. It is said that a doctor named Condom invented the device to prevent King Charles II from having any more illegitimate children. It was around this time that condoms were being made of animal intestines. These were very costly, and trade shops for handmade condoms popped up no pun intended, all over London. - Rubber condoms were all the rage after Goodyear Tires discovered a process called vulcanization, where rubber is transformed into a strong elastic material. - The New York Times printed the first condom advertisement in 1861. Condoms: A Look Back In Time - Condoms date back to 1000 B.C. when the Egyptians started using linens sheaths to protect them from diseases during intercourse. - In the 1500s, the syphilis epidemic in Europe enticed lots of people onto the condom train. Gabriele Fallopius said he had invented a linen pouch to prevent men from getting syphilis. It was only later that this invention was also deemed useful for preventing pregnancies. Also, during this time period, people began dipping the linen in chemicals and allowing it to dry before use.

You would probably just grip it and bear your abstinence if you did run into this situation,but sometimes the urge is too great. If men and women do indulge in sex during that most inopportune time of the month, there are some things to consider. Carolyn Johnson, head of the gynecology department at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says there is only a slight increase in the chance of contracting disease. "If there were an open cut, there is more exposure to blood and that could provide more risk," Johnson says. This is especially true if the cut is on the man. Johnson says she has more fear that people don't realize that a woman is susceptible to getting pregnant during sex even when she is on her period. Women with shorter cycles are especially fertile near the end of their period. This came as a shock to Andrea Steen, Overland Park sophomore, who said she has had sex while on her period but would probably not do it again. Steen says, "That makes me a little scared. I had no idea that you could get pregnant." Steen says her decision to participate in sex while on her period really came down to the guy being comfortable with it. She says she felt slightly self-conscious about it, but was able to get over any insecurities when she found out the guy was fine with it. She felt most concerned with the mess involved. After learning that she was vulnerable to becoming pregnant, Steen says she has another reason not to participate in sex while on her period again. Johnson also says that it is not typical for a woman to have a high sex drive while on her period. She says the period of ovulation usually coincides with a higher sex drive among women. • Jeff Briscoe Missing that Taste of Europe?

Men complain about having to shave their faces, and women complain about having to shave, well, almost everything. But, could letting those bothersome hairs grow be better for you? Matthew Buxton, a dermatologist at Free State Dermatology, 3511 Clinton Pkwy., says women tend to experience more irritation after shaving than men, especially when they shave around the bikini line and under their arms. "The curlier and coarser the hair, the more ingrown hairs, bumps and itching." Buxton says. Men with curly hair have more trouble shaving for the same reason, he says. If a woman shaves frequently—like during swimsuit season when it's vital to have smooth legs and a hairless bikini line—she will have increased irritation that can last a long time. Because of the time it takes and the unsightly, unpleasant bumps that shaving produces, many women and a bold breed of men have turned to waxing. Buxton says that most people who try waxing prefer it to shaving. Their body parts stay smoother longer, he says, and they skip the unwanted side effects of the razor. But Buxton warns that you need to know if you're allergic to the wax before you go down that road. To ensure the most presentable fuzz-free skin, Buxton stresses using mild cleansers and moisturizers before you shave. Both, he says, will contribute to a healthier relationship with your razors and wax. VERDICT—BAD FOR YOU - Kaitlyn Syring Dear Students, Weekend Hangover? Treat it with SUNDAY FUNDAY.

While it may come up frequently, there are very differing outlooks on the topic. Some people have committed themselves to waiting until they are married, others just want the commitment of a relationship, and some are just out to get what they can. Charles Goldberg Chicago junior I think that if you're going to end up having sex, you should make a commitment with the other person. Make sure you're not just doing gymnastics. There are two aspects to every relationship: physical and emotional. I think if you're dating someone and you don't even kiss, then good luck to you. I've had sex with girls I've only known for a few days, but then we've stayed together. Everyone needs this time to find themselves and figure yourself out. PETER GILBERTS Tori Komsthoeft Olathe sophomore Since I was seven I've been going to Christian sports camp, and as you get older they talk to you about Christian issues you will go through. One of the talks really got to me. I don't know who my future husband is, but I wrote his name on my heart. Every person you sleep with, you give away part of your heart to, and I want my husband to have A my heart. My friends know my morals and respect me for it. One anlogy I use is sex is like a Christmas present and it's fun to want to peek at it before Christmas, but when Christmas comes it's better to wait. I also have chosen to wait for marriage because I do not want to be on my wedding night and having to compare it to something. You know, it could be the worst sex, but to me it would be great because I have nothing to compare it to. Kids First crush Honeymoon Waiting First kiss Waiting First date Waiting Prom Waiting to have sex College First serious relationship I had sex fairly early on in high school. It was more to get it out of the way and sort of see what the big deal was than anything else. I don't think I ever regretted it and always enjoyed it. After sex that first time, it stopped being that huge deal people make it out to be not everyone's doing it PATRICK J. BROWN I look at it as,I'm young and I'm in college. I came into college with the mentality that I wasn't going people are on all different playing fields as they move onto Daisy Hill for their freshman year. Not everyone is having sex on the hill, but you should still keep an eye out for that sock on the door. It's clear that the University's students have a wide variety of outlooks on the topic of sex and, according to a Guttmacher Institute study made available in 2006, 46 percent of teens have lost their virginity by age 19. This is basically half the student population, and goes to show that to get into a relationship. I'd rather wait until I'm older when I can put a lot of effort into a serious, committed relationship. Sarah Coughlan Beloit junior My husband and I waited until we got married. It was a conscience decision. The first time it is very significant for anybody, It's something you never forget. We'd already waited and we decided "what could be more romantic?" The FREDERICK MAYER fact that we were there for each other's first time because we were each other's first time is very romantic to me. There were also other advantages, like not having to worry about STDs or pregnancy I'm very glad that we did wait. I get frustrated when you hear someone say "Oh, everyone's doing it," and I don't think that's the case. It's something you have to be purposeful about. Especially when we got engaged it was a lot harder [Not having sex] doesn't just happen, and we would like to have a marriage that lasts forever and that's not something that just happens, either.

The couple has been dating for about three years, and they first met when Tuohy was trying to decide which college she wanted to go to. Eshelerenner was a freshman at KU when Tuohy decided to come visit. Her brother had set it up so that his friend, Eshelerenner, could show his little sister around Lawrence and around the campus.She did not remember him from the high school parties that her brother would throw, and, in fact, she had thought that he was someone else before they first met. When she arrived KU, though, he made quite the impression. Instead of staying with a friend, she spent the whole weekend with him, including a pretend date in the downstairs cafeteria at Naismith Hall. "He acted like a best friend would," Tuohy said After that, they started talking on the phone,and by that summer,they were dating. - Jessie Fetterling Jamaica Tan Unlimited tanning with membership! $25/ month - Level One $50/ month - Level Two 20% off all tanning & lotions until 2.29.08 15th & Wakarusa 785.749.1313 The only student run tanning salon in Lawrence!

Riedel, Overland Park freshmen, doesn't have much to say. "I'd probably try to think of something creative, but I can't right now," he admits. Like TJ., many guys feel a bit lost when thinking up something to do for someone on Valentine's Day, but they shouldn't sweat it too much: Most students just want to spend some time with their dates. "Valentine's Day is definitely overrated," says Laura Wolf, Overland Park freshman. She sees the holiday the same as any other day, reasoning that your special someone should treat you well every day of the year. For her, a casual dinner is just fine, but that's not to say you won't hurt someone's feelings if you don't put effort into Valentine's. Lauren Larsen, Green Bay, Wisc., senior, says her worst Valentine's experience was when her boyfriend at the time decided it would be acceptable to take her to Schlozsky's Deli and get her some Jelly Bellys. "He didn't even get me a sandwich," she says. Larsen's ideal date would be a trip to the Legends in Kansas City, Kan., or the Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., for some dinner and shopping. Indeed, most women just crave some alone time with their significant other on Valentine's Day. That's why many cite dinner as a good Valentine's Day date, as it provides a chance to sit down and talk one-on-one without all the distractions friends and family can bring. Having family around isn't always such a bad thing, though. Laura Hollar, Overland Park freshman, is going to be eating dinner at the opening of her boyfriend's grandmother's restaurant. To her, that's the perfect Valentine's date. Flowers would be icing on the cake. Although many girls would appreciate some flowers, Nicole Pan, Xi'an, China freshman, says that the best gifts are made, not bought. She would like any sort of drawing or artwork commemorating the relationship or how her boyfriend feels about her—anything that showed he took some time to do something special for her. For those that aren't confident in their artistic ability, fear not: Pan says she would still happily accept gifts purchased at the store, and she says they don't have to be expensive. If you're planning to go to dinner on Valentine's, make sure you make reservations, even if it's just at a casual restaurant, because most places will be busy. Some restaurants have special menus and multi-course meals available, so call ahead and ask. Above all, just relax and have a good time. The holiday is about spending time together, not having reservations at a fancy restaurant. Your date will be happy as long as Your date will be happy as long as you make an effort to show that you care. 0 Joe Hunt JACKPOT MUSIC HALL 943 MASSACHUSETTS JACKPOTMUSICHALL.COM 785.832.1085 LIVE MUSIC & COCKTAILS!

They come in all varieties, but the basic idea is universal: on each side of the two die there is either an action to perform (lick, suck, kiss, nibble, etc.) or a body part to which the act is to be performed (nipples, toes, genitals, neck, etc.). You just roll the dice and let Fate do the rest. If neither of those do it for you (or you just want one last suggestion), try combining sex with one of life's other pleasures: Pop Rocks. These feiry little sugar bombs add just the right amount of fun with little to no mess at all. The safest way to incorporate these is while kissing to enhance the feeling (and taste) of an already sweet and satisfying act.

It taught us how to live, love and wear our Buddy Bands with pride. Dustin "Screech" Diamond stakes his claim as the sleaziest member of Bayside's graduating class with his much-publicized sex tape. But, unlike other celebrities, Diamond decided to embrace and capitalize on his hand-held antics, endorsing the DVD release of "Screeched." The film opens on Diamond sitting in a bubble bath with a woman who is holding the camera. With the scene lit only by candles, the couple goes on for 10 minutes discussing everything from which season of 2-4 they're going to watch to what kind of food is left in the fridge, before turning off the camera just before the love-making begins. At this point, there's still hope. Maybe "Screeched" isn't as vile as the video cover had promised. Maybe it's just Diamond.

In his best "dude, brah" voice, Diamond, referring to himself as The "D-man," gives a run-down of the situation for submission to something called The Brotherhood of the Bros. Apparently, D-man and his buddies have a secret society where they award each other points for taping themselves performing various sex acts. For this particular scenario, he explains that he's just done a comedy show, and that a bride-to-be and her bride's maid were in attendance as part of a bachelor party, and invited the D-man up to their hotel room. At this point, it becomes painfully clear that this tape is a set-up. We get a thrill as he tries to convince the girls to put on sexy lingerie using all the tact and personality of a horny, 13-year-old boy. The best part is, D-man uses nostalgia and his limited star power to tap into the gentle psyche of the bride's maid when he, to help her overcome her shyness, says, "You grew up with me, Baby." Finally, the girls come out in the lingerie. Sexual gag gifts are conveniently sitting around the hotel room, such as double-headed dildos and candy cock rings, and you better believe they get incorporated. The thrilling climax comes when the D-man executes a move known as the "Dirty Sanchez." If you're not familiar with the term, look it up on www.urbandictionary.com. Once you do that, imagine those words printed on sticker and you'll think twice before investigating anything with your sense of smell. The film ends with the D-man bragging about his "conquest," and how cool of a dude he is. It also ends with him not only shattering the joy and happiness he brought to many children through the '90s, but also shattering the idea that any decency could exist in the world after viewing this tape. Congrats, D-man, you finally left your dorky persona behind, but now you have a new one to take its place: D-bag.

I don't remember meeting him, and I didn't pay attention to him for the first nine months that we worked together. Then in December 2005, he decided he wanted to make me his girlfriend. He first started pestering me to go out with him after he overheard my co-worker Amy and me checking out some guys. Doug wanted to know why we weren't checking him out."So, what's wrong with me?" he asked.After a few nervous giggles, I told him he was too old for me. He remembers me saying that he was old and ugly.I know I never called him ugly, but after that, he decided he had something to prove. That December, he began flirting with me on a daily basis. He asked what I was studying and what I wanted to do when I graduated. He asked about my new car, too. I had been in a bad car accident earlier that year, so he told me about the accidents he had been in when he was my age. We talked about our co-workers, and he kept me on the latest gossip from the kitchen; who was sleeping from the kitchen, who was sleeping with whom, and who wanted to sleep with whom. I knew he wanted to date me, but I had decided I could never do it. I was 20, and he was 30. Ten years was too much. I worried about what my friends would think, but most of all I worried about what my parents would think. They're protective of my three brothers and me, especially because I'm the only girl. Would they lecture me about how older men only wanted sex? Or would they ignore him, using silence to make it clear he wasn't welcome? By Dianne Smith I also worried about how I would ever relate to this guy. Other than a hatred for snootty customers, what did we have in common? He grew up with Magnum, P.I.; I grew up with CSI. Childhood pop culture references would always be lost on one or the other. On top of that, he was my manager. Doug had convinced the other hosts that he was perfect for me, but what would the other managers say? I had never dated any of my co-workers, and I wasn't about to start, especially with my supervisor. I had worked at this restaurant for three years, and dating Doug would ruin my reputation as the good girl who loved her parents and never slept around. sessions were limited to Saturday nights, my only shift while classes were in session. Doug worked Saturday nights, too. I always needed someone to swipe a manager card so I could clock in, and he was always eager to help. I never would have admitted it, but I started to look forward to seeing him. Doug's jokes could always make me smile. If I was in a bad mood, he would ask me what was wrong. "Are you constipated?" he would say. "Did your dog die?" I always said no to both questions, but his frankness about constipation made me laugh. One day in early March, Doug was scheduled to work Saturday morning, so his shift was ending when I came in. He helped me clock in, walking up the stairs behind me from the kitchen to the dining room while I wondered if he was checking out my ass. I secretly hoped he was. But then he said he had to go, surprising me with his departure. I must have shown. I knew at that moment that I had to give him a chance. As much as I didn't want to believe it, I was falling for Doug. He knew it too, but it wasn't June, when he my disappointment on my face, looking up at him and pushing out my bottom lip. "You're going!" I asked. He said yes with a similar expression on his face. Tingles ran through my body, turning my stomach as he put his hand on my arm. had already quit his job, that I let him take me on a date. When I finally let him into my life, I learned we had plenty in common. We have both dealt with depression, and we have both totaled at least two cars. We both love snugglings in bed, forgetting about life and watching movies until our eyelids start sagging. We both love eating out, critiquing the restaurants and complaining about the poor service. about constipation to get me to crack a smile. But Doug makes me happy. Doug and I have been dating for a year and a half now. My parents love him. With all their parental wisdom, they can see that he loves me for who I am. I thought I knew my type; tall, nerdy guys, with dark hair and classic, clean-cut looks. Even wearing a tie and a button-down shirt for work, Doug never looks clean-cut, and his wild, curly hair will never be tamed.

Kanost was killed in a hit-and-run accident in the early morning hours of September 23, 2006. Josh Walton, former University of Kansas student, is charged with involuntary manslaughter, driving under the influence and failure to stop at an injury accident in relation to Kanost's death. According to reports from that night, Kanost and his friends were leaving a party at which they had been drinking beer. According to witnesses, as they crossed the intersection of 13th and Kentucky streets, a white Toyota Camry driving over the speed limit struck Kanost. He died on the scene. Walton turned himself in to police the next day after hearing of the incident from his friends. He told friends he thought he had hit something, but he did not know what it was. Reports showed that Walton's white Toyota Camry was severely damaged on the right fender. Walton's trial, which started on Monday, detailed the accounts of police response to the situation and witness accounts of the situation. On Thursday, witnesses testified that a northbound car sped through the intersection they were crossing and barely missed students Kale McLin, Brandon Seitzer and Nicole Schenfeld. The car struck Kanost, who was trailing a few feet behind. Walton's lawyer, Tom Bath, is disputing the charges. The state wants to convict ring the charges. The stat Walton of involuntary manslaughter while under the influence of drugs and alcohol, which is a felony and carries a minimum of two and a half years in prison. Bath is seeking a lesser charge of vehicular homicide while driving in a manner that creates unreasonable risk of injury. Enoch Jennison, 2006 graduate, testified on behalf of the prosecution. Jennison was not with Kanost and his friends, but was walking on the street near them. Jennison said he saw Kanost get hit. He said that Kanost flew to the side of the road near a fire hydrant. Jennison said he was not sure whether the driver braked, but by the time everyone understood the gravity of the situation, the car was gone. Jennison said he called 911. The paramedics asked him to check whether Kanost was breathing. He was not. Jennison told paramedics that he thought Kanost had died. Seitzer said he saw the car speed away, but could not recall whether the car slowed down. When he turned around, he found Kanost on the ground. He wasn't breathing. Seitzer, Kanost's roommate and former University of Kansas student, testified that he saw a white sedan heading in their direction before he crossed the intersection at 13th Street, but that he felt safe enough to cross. Seitzer testified that the car came faster than he expected, so he jumped to get out of the way. Seitzer said he saw the car speed away, but could not recall whether the car slowed down. When he turned around, he found Kanost on the The maximum sentence for that crime is only one year in prison and up to $2,500. While testimonies differed about the order in which the students were walking, they all agreed that Kanost was the last to McLin, Kanost's former neighbor and former University student, said they were on their way to Seitzer's car. He said that Kanost was the designated driver and the most sober of the group, but according to Walton's attorney, Kanost had been over the legal limit to drive. ground. He wasn't breathing. cross the street. The car was South of 14th Street when the group of students entered the intersection, according to all the witnesses. By the time they had made it halfway across, McLin testified, the car made it an entire block to the intersection on 13th Street. When Bath pointed this out on a diagram, McLin answered. "Yes. That is what was so amazing about it." A fourth witness, Kyle Courtney, who saw the accident from a house adjacent to the intersection, testified that he saw the car traveling fast down the west lane of the intersection. He said he saw a man jump out of the way and an article of clothing fly in the air. He said he heard the screeching of tires as the driver hit the brakes, but did not stop. When Judge Robert Fairchild called a recess halfway though the trial, a woman on the right side of the court let her whimpers turn into tears. Walton heard her and stiffened up. He did not turn around, but put down his head and folded his hands in front of him until the jury left and the woman quieted. Walton was the last to move after the dismissal. The defense will present their witnesses today. — Edited by Jared Duncan CULTURE Professor's art showcased in China University photographer's work on display BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com Pok Chi Lau's photographic documentation of the lives and culture of Chinese immigrants has stretched for 40 years. For the past month, the collection of his life's work has been on display in an international exhibition in Guangzhou, China, a city of 10 million people. The exhibition began on Jan. 12 and will end Feb.12. The exhibition and book that accompanies it, both entitled "Flow, China," are on display at the Guangzhou Museum of Art. Lau had traveled to over 30 countries, some as many as 50 times, to capture the human dimension of the University was far from a straightforward process. After being born to Chinese immigrants in Hong Kong, Lau found himself in the no man's land between Chinese culture and the British colonial rulers of his home. "They made sure you didn't know English as well as they do, and your Chinese will never be as good as the Chinese in China," he said. "You become a nobody and that's when I came to understand 'if I'm a nobody, where can I be somebody'?" "The photograph is a vehicle for conversation to carry from one generation to the other." POK CHI LAU Professor of photography POK CHI LAU movement of the Chinese people from their homeland. As a child of immigrants and an immigrant himself, Lau said his goal was to help people understand their heritage. "The dragon is released now," Lau said. "The Chinese are all over now looking for resources. All this was about understanding one's history. What are the opportunities that you can recognize and what opportunities can you create?" That sentiment led Lau to immigrate to Canada as a 17-year-old in order to join his brother in Toronto. With few skills and lacking a work permit, Lau said he was forced to work under-the-table jobs to support himself. It was in Toronto that Lau dis- Though his work has been shown all over the world, Lau said it was extremely gratifying to be able to see the way his work affects people in China. Over 180 prints are on display along with multimedia presentations of some of Lau's travels. The content for both the exhibition and book were subject to approval by the Chinese Government, Lau said. "It's satisfying to see another person look at the work and practically put their nose on the glass to examine the details," Lau said. "Or see a grandfather talk- Professor Pok Chi Lau shows two pictures that he keeps in his wallet, his mother and son. Pok Chi Lau's first body of documentary photography focused on Chinese Diaspora and includes portraits of racially mixed descendants. Pok Chi Lau's biggest exhibition opened on Jan 12 in Guangzhou, China covered a passion for photography. While working for a commercial photography studio in 1971, he was accepted into the Brooks Institute of Art in Santa Barbara, Calif. Lau saved money for a year while working in a Chinese restaurant in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Then he made his way to the United States where his meager earnings paid a semester's tuition, bought a camera and paid rent for only three months. Once again, Lau said he was forced to find under-the-table work to support himself and his dreams. He said he knew his options if he did not succeed as a photographer, and decided that he would do what- Marla Keown/KANSAN "This is someone who can get a faculty position really anywhere he wanted to.

This is how I lived, and you guys have it made" Despite his success, Lau's journey to the ever it took to realize his goals. "I was not only interested in photography but I told myself 'if I don't make it, I'll never make it at anything,' Lau said. "I did not want to run a restaurant. I did not want to run a laundry. So I had to be good. I had no choice." His work spoke for itself. Under financial pressure, Lau said he received the first scholarship given by the school, although it was only for one semester. Eventually he graduated after four years of study, almost double the time it takes the average student. Though he would have liked to open his own studio, Lau said he had neither the labor status nor capital to start a business. Instead he found an opportunity to continue his education as a graduate student at the California Institute of the Arts north of Los Angeles. Receiving a scholarship and stipend gave Lau the opportunity to continue the documentary work he began while at the Brooks Institute. "It was the freedom that propelled me to do documentary work," Lau said. "I was free. I didn't need to tell myself that I needed to make a living doing commercial work."

BYLUM Jessie Fetterlina/KANSAN BY SAMANTHA FOSTER sfoster@kansan.com The 2007-08 school year marks an important milestone for Murphy Hall — its 50th anniversary. Murphy Hall is like a second home for many students. For music majors, it is the location of most basic music classes. With a music and dance library and Hawk Food Stop, students can get anything they need at Murphy Hall. "It's a community," said Rachel Williams, Conway, Ark., junior. "You really get to know the people you work with." For the first years of their existence, the music and art programs were moved from building to building without a permanent home. Department chairmen struggled to gain support from the University of Kansas for a fine arts building. Planning funds were finally appropriated in 1953. In 1957, the original V-shaped building, then dubbed the Music and Dramatic Arts Building, was completed and dedicated. The building acquired the name Murphy Hall three years later when Chancellor Franklin Murphy left the University to become the new chancellor of the University of California, Los Angeles. Shannon Griswold, Shawnee senior, sculpts Seale-hun Choi, Seoul, Korea senior, in their interactive Theater class in Murphy Hall yesterday afternoon. They performed a technique called remote control sculpture as Griswold shaped Choi into a scene as a rock star. As the size of the University of Kansas multiplied over the years, so did the number of students attending classes in Murphy Hall. With an estimated 1,500 students enrolled in fine arts programs by the 1990s and only two rehearsal rooms, Murphy Hall was in need of additional facilities. After applying for aid from the University again, the new addition to Murphy Hall was completed in 2000 and dedicated in February 2001. The departments of music education and music theory were moved to Murphy Hall from Bailey Hall. What does the future hold for Murphy Hall? "Wed like to renovate Swarthout Recital Hall," said Steven Hedden, dean of fine arts. "We don't have the funds yet, but with about 300 performances a year, the chairs get worn out and the lights need to be replaced." Many performances in Murphy Hall this year have been dedicated to the building's 50th anniversary celebration. During the fall semester, faculty artist concerts, a musical theatre symposium, and University Theatre performances of "The Music Man" were among the scheduled events. There are several more celebration events during the spring semester. The Double Reed Festival on Feb. 9 and 10 will involve two master classes and an evening recital from two KU alumni. Faculty recitals, KU Opera, Choirs, Jazz Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble will perform throughout March and April. $ \textcircled{*} $ Additionally, Elizabeth Sherbon Centennial activities are scheduled for April. Sherbon, who was born in 1908, was a dancer who taught for several years at the University until her retirement in 1975. Her death in 2000 was a great loss to the dance community.

Your knowledge and experience are invaluable, and I am grateful for your guidance. Please keep me informed of any developments in our work or any updates on your research projects. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Seymour Hersi visits campus today to accept the William Allen White award for excellence in journalism. Hersis is known for breaking the Abu Grab story in The New Yorker in 2004. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com Seymour Hersh, the journalist who exposed the torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, visits campus today to accept the William Allen White award for excellence in journalism. Hersh will receive the award at 1:30 p.m. this afternoon in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Hersh, who broke the Abu Ghraib story in The New Yorker in 2004, said he was not surprised by the scandal. He also said he was not the only reporter who knew about Abu Ghraib, though he was the first to report it. "There was no moral leadership at all from the president. In 2001 he said we're going to invite them out of their snake holes," Hersh said. "Reporters limit themselves. I can guarantee I was not the first person to hear about Abu Ghraib. Any reporter had to know. It was so bad that the woman was sending messages home telling her family to come to the prison and kill them." Ann Brill, dean of journalism, said Hersh was not receiving the award for exposing Abu Ghraib, but for his lifetime achievements. Abu Ghraib was not the first controversy that Hersh exposed. Hersh earned the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his article on the My Lai massacre and cover-up that took place during the Vietnam War. Hersh said other reporters knew about My Lai but they chose to censor themselves. Sureva Towler, a Lawrence resident who was neighbors with Hersh in Washington D.C., said Hersh was incredibly opinionated, but that he was usually right. "Sy is a class act. Sy calls him like he sees him." Towler said. "He is one of the most honest people I have ever met. He serves the profession well, better than most reporters these days. He couldn't not be controversial if he tried." Towler, who is a columnist for the Denver Post and commutes between Colorado and Kansas, said one her favorite Hersh memories occurred when her daughter was about 10 years old. Towler said her daughter had just come home from school and was holding a history book. She said Hersh grabbed it, turned to the page about the Vietnam War, swore and threw the book into the sewer. "That makes a big impression on kids," Towler said. "I think it made a thinker out of her." Towler said Hersh was a good friend of hers and they talked regularly but that she had not seen him in 10 years. She said she was looking forward to asking Hersh what he thought Karl Rove was doing lately. "I don't trust him. I haven't heard from him lately and that makes me very nervous because he operates behind the scenes, and I don't know what scenes he's operating behind," Towler said. Brill said a board of 72 trustees decided who would win the William Allen White Award for the following year each spring. She said Hersh has been on the ballot several times before. Brill said she asked Hersh in August, on a visit to Washington D.C., if he would come to the University of Kansas and accept the award. Brill said Hersh told her he has had a lot of invitations to speak this year and that he was focusing on college campuses. Hersh's visit to the University is not his first to the area. In 1962 Hersch worked on Fort Riley's base newspaper while he was in the Army. Hersch said the Army was not for him, and so he pursued a career in journalism instead. Before he began regularly contributing to The New Yorker, Hersch worked at The New York Times. Hersh left the Times in 1979. He also published eight books, including his most recent book, "Chain of Command," which is about his role in exposing Abu Ghraib. Next week, Hersh's latest article, "A Strike in the Dark: Why did Israel bomb Syria?" will appear in The New Yorker. The article, which is already available online, criticizes newspapers' reports of an Israeli raid on Syria in September 2007. Hersh's article claimed there was no solid evidence of an ongoing nuclear-weapons program in Syria and thus the attack was unwarranted. Hersh said reports by the United States government and other major newspapers, like the Washington Post, incorrectly described the incident. "The whole principle of a nation bombing another nation and we say what they did was an act of war, that's an outrage," Hersh said. "Who are we to help the Israelis do that? I don't like that in the first place." Hersh said other news outlets printed the information they were given without further investigating the matter. He said these newspapers were used to spread the incorrect account. Hersh said journalists needed to think about who was using them, and why, before they print an article. He said he knew the article was complicated, and that it would be several days before most people read it, but that he preferred this form of journalism more than writing for a daily newspaper. "The nice thing about the New Yorker is that it has over a million readers," Hersh said. "It does have juice and it doesn't matter when you do a story. It's much harder than writing a story and saying George Bush is a dumbie." Hersh said he was unsure what he would speak about at the ceremony, but that he generally talked about what is on his mind. He said he has done speeches where he teaches people how to read that day's newspaper. "Just because it's in the newspaper does not make it right," Hersh said. "We're probably in the biggest danger we have been in as a nation. I'm not sure if Bush lied, but what he did was knowingly wrong. Unraveling that is a really important message." — Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird 》 STUDENT SENATE Finance committee votes on several bills BY BRENNA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com Student Senate committees met last night after rescheduling because of the snow day. Legislation moves through committees before being presented at full Senate, which will meet next Wednesday. GROUPS MAY BE GIVEN FREE ADVERTISING The finance committee passed a bill that, if passed in Senate, will allow student organizations that have selective membership to advertise events open to all students in Senate's space in the University Daily Kansan. Senate's Student Advertising Program purchases advertising space three times a week. Currently, only groups that allow membership of all students can advertise in this space. Groups that require an application process, auditions or have selective admissions - like performing arts organizations, scholarship halls and Greek organizations - would be allowed to advertise events they are hosting that are open to all students. Adam McGonigle, the bill's author and Wichita sophomore, said the advertising space was being underutilized. He said some groups are running multiple ads to fill the space. should be using it," McGonigle said. "If we're paying for the space, we Finance committee members voted to attach an amendment to the bill that would give student organizations that are open to all students priority over selective membership groups, if the advertising space is full. There are 16 available spots in the ad. The finance committee tabled a bill written by transportation coordinator May Davis, Clay Center sophomore, that would reallocate campus transportation fees to help with KU on Wheels' budget deficit. BILLWOULD HELP EASE KU ON WHEELS DEBT Currently, students pay $20 in bus acquisition fees and $18.70 in bus operations fees yearly. The bill would lower the bus acquisition fee to $17 and raise the bus operations fee to $21.70. This fee adjustment would only be for this fiscal year. The shift in fees would slow down the bus acquisition process by one year, but the current rate of purchasing buses would continue until the final year. Repositioning $3 to the bus operations fee would allow KU on Wheels to pay off $135,000 of its debt. The bill was tabled until the next finance committee meeting on Feb. 20, when more information regarding the budget would be available. What big teeth you have!

EVENTS InDecision 2008 tours campuses fchambers@kansan.com BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS Comedian Greg Giraldo will perform at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Lied Center as part of Comedy Central's InDecision 2008 tour. James Adomian, who is best known for his impressions of President George W. Bush, will also perform. Shawn Bowers, director of public relations for Student Union Activities, said SUA purposefully scheduled the event during the week of Kansas' caucuses. I am not a lawyer. "We figure this way we can serve everyone." Bowers said. "For the people who have been caucusing hard Giraldo this week, they can use this as a bit of political catharsis. For the people who are weary of political everything, here's a chance to take it a hell of a lot less seriously for an evening." Bowers said SUA had looked at bringing the Comedy Central tour, which is always changing, to campus last semester, but that it was unable to do so. He said SUAs previous attempt to bring a Comedy Central tour to campus influenced SUAs decision to pursue the InDecision tour, but the tour's popularity on college campuses was a factor as well. In 2006, Giraldo hosted his own stand-up comedy show on Comedy Central. In the past he also appeared on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and Comedy Central Roasts, Giraldo also contributes regularly to Carson Daly's Last Call. Giraldo is best known for his stand-up comedy, but Giraldo also released a popular comedic song "Underwear Goes Inside the Pants" in 2004. Giraldo said he had a CD coming out this fall. Giraldo said in the future he hopes to extend his career into film. Giraldo said he had performed in Lawrence one time before about two years ago. He said he enjoyed his visit and he especially enjoyed staying at the Elderidge Hotel. "What I am hoping to do long term is kind of more what I'm doing right now. Telling comedic stories and hopefully doing that in film," Galrado said. "Woody Allen really appeals to me. Steve Martin really appeals to me." Andrew Berry, Topeka junior said he is looking forward to the InDecision tour more than he has looked forward to previous Comedy Central tours that have performed at the University because of Giraldo's intelligence. FUNDS MAY AID CONFERENCE "Over the years I've gotten many many bookings in the Midwest during the winter," Giraldo said. "I try not to make people feel much worse about it sucking, but I try not to hit the Midwest in the winter. I love the fall and spring Midwest the most." The finance committee voted to fund the Blueprints Leadership Conference. If passed in full Senate, the bill would fund the conference's speaker with $1,325. "I think its pretty cool that they got a smart guy like him instead of someone like Carlos Mencia," Berry said. "The guy is a Harvard Law grad, I'm sure he'll have some interesting stuff to say." Tickets to the performance can be obtained at the SUA Box Office on Level 4 of the Kansas Union, the Lied Center box office, the Murphy Hall box office and at the Alied Center's Web site. Tickets are free for Preferred Student Card holders and are $5 for students. Non-students can purchase tickets for $7. Molly Bloedel, Winfield freshman, said she was glad SUA was bringing the InDecision tour to campus because she hoped Giraldo would be able to interest students in the upcoming presidential election. Peter Curzon, ExCEL winner and Phoenix, Ariz., senior, said this would be the 23rd annual leadership conference. Edited by Samuel Lamb "We will be developing skills for emerging leaders and honing the skills of existing ones," Curzon said. skills of existing clients, Curzon said. The conference is expected to have 70 to 100 attendees. Dr. Amy Schmisseur will be the opening speaker who will set the theme of the conference. Different leadership activities will follow her speech. The conference is 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 23 in the Kansas Union. Applications are due by Feb. 15. Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird NATION Obama and Clinton debate for delegates, money NEW ORLEANS — Battling for every dollar and delegate, Barack Obama raised $7.2 million in Super Tuesday's wake and Hillary Rodham Clinton pulled in $6.4 million, stunning totals reflecting the intensity of their neck-and-neck for delegates, money Keenly aware of Obama's growing strength, Clinton challenged him to five debates in the next month. Obama put her off. "We'll have some debates," Obama promised. But first, he said, "I've got to spend time with voters." Clinton, he argued, is better-known to voters in states coming up. race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton, who loaned her campaign $5 million in the run-up to Super Tuesday, brushed aside the notion she has money problems. She pointed to the roughly even split of delegates still being allocated from Tuesday's primaries and caucuses as evidence her campaign has the financial muscle to compete.

He thinks about whether the United States should attack Iran or if the United States should offer Afghanistan more foreign assistance. He's not aforeign policy strategist, or even a political science major. Bricker, Wichita senior, is a KU debater. Two weeks ago at Dartmouth College, Bricker and his partner, Andrew Jennings, Silver Lake junior, placed second on the Herbert James Invitational. Bricker was named the top individual debater at the tournament. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO It was the best the University had ever done at the Dartmouth tournament, KU Debate coach Scott Harris said. Debate at the University has been around awhile. KU Debate won four national titles and qualified for the national tournament 39 consecutive years. Bricker said some people had some misconceptions about debaters. "A lot of people think that all debaters are just like nerds," Bricker said. The KU Debate team has brought home four national titles and qualified for the national tournament 39 consecutive years. One pair placed second at the Herbert James Invitational tournament two weeks ago. Sure, Bricker spends up to 30 hours a week researching this year's debate topic. "It asks the question whether or not the federal government should constructively engage five Middle Eastern countries by offering them foreign assistance or a security guarantee," he said. "I think that a lot of people I've met are pretty social and end up being like lawyers or professors - professions that have a social capability to them, not just academic," Bricker said. But to Bricker, the stereotype of a debater with horned-rimmed glasses and a pocket protector just doesn't fit. Bricker and his teammates are social enough to endure 14-hour car rides together. He said it's not unusual to drive all day to a tournament on Friday, debate all day on Saturday and Sunday, and then make the long drive back to Lawrence on Monday. "It's pretty tough once you get back after a weekend like that to recuperate and be able to make it to class on Tuesday." Chris Stone, Derby junior, is new to the KU Debate team this year. He just transferred to the University from Wichita State. Stone and Bricker both said they started debating during their freshman year of high school. Stone's father was a debater, so he decided to give debate a shot. "When you start, it's a little harder," Stone said. "You don't really know what's on." The KU Debate team competes in tournaments nearly every other weekend from September to April. Two-person teams from opposing schools match-up and debate the With months of tournaments, Stone and Bricker said some arguments get kind of strange. topic. "Some teams make arguments that say like, large amounts of the population should die off," Stone said. Bricker said Kansas debaters come from all fields and majors. Bricker is a math major, while Stone is majoring in Economics and Political Science. "Many of the people really enjoy the social aspect of debating. The fact that you get to hang out with the same people every weekend." Bricker said. "Some of them enjoy the more academic parts, and some enjoy the workload. It's really grueling, but some people find that it's really enjoyable. The really good debaters find a balance between all three of those." Bricker's days as college debater are numbered. He said he wanted to go to law school or earn a graduate degree in communications and become a debate coach. But for now, Bricker continues the long hours of daily research on foreign policy. He said there is not secret to being a skilful debater. "Anybody that works hard can be a good debater," Bricker said. Edited by Samuel Lamb God-zilla! God-zilla!

The sleeping man appeared to be the victim of too much Chinese New Year celebrations. ASSOCIATED PRESS THE CONFEDERATION OF TRAVEL LISTERS IN CHINA ASSOCIATED PRESS Thousands of supporters of Pakistan's slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto arrive at her tomb to attend a ceremony on the end of 40 days of mourning, Thursday in Garhi Khuda Bakhish, Pakistan. About 10,000 mourners gathered at the tomb of Bhutto to mark the end of the mourning period for her death, as she party prepared to resume campaigning for crucial Feb. 18 elections. Pakistan police arrest suspects ASSOCIATED PRESS ISLAMABAD, Pakistan Police arrested two more suspects Thursday in the suicide attack that killed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, and thousands of her followers gathered at her tomb to mark the end of mourning for her and launch her party's campaign for this month's parliamentary election. Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said the two suspects were picked up in Rawalpindi, where Bhutto died in a gun and bomb attack Dec. 27. He declined to say whether the two men were key figures in the assassination, which threatened to plunge the nation into political chaos. "I can't real- "I can't really comment on whether (the arrest) is important." Cheema told The Associated Press. "After the investigation, I will be in a position to say more." The latest arrests were announced as a team of British detectives from Scotland Yard returned to Pakistan to report the findings of their investigation of the assassination. Their report is expected to shed light on exactly how Bhutto died — amid confusion over whether she was killed by a gunshot or the impact of a suicide bombing. Last month, police in northwestern Pakistan arrested two other suspects, including a 15-year-old boy who was alleged to have been part of a backup suicide squad assigned to kill Bhutto if the primary assassins failed. Fridav. British diplomats are expected to release a summary of the report President invited Scotland Yard to conduct its own inquiry after Bhutto supporters alleged the government may have been involved in her death. Musharraf rejected calls from Bhutto's party for an independent U.N. investigation. U. S. and Pakistani officials believe the assassination was masterminded by Baitullah Mehsud, an al-Qaida-linked commander Musharraf "I can't really comment on whether (the arrest) is important. After the investigation, I will be in a position to say more." U.

On Wednesday, Mehsud's coalition announced an indefinite cease-fire with Pakistani forces. Me h su d leads Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, a coalition of Islamic extremist groups fighting Pakistani forces in the lawless tribal area based in South Waziristan. Bhutto's slaying triggered nationwide riots that caused billions of dollars in damage and the deaths of at least 40 people. That prompted the government Although the stakes are high, there has been little sign of public enthusiasm for the election. Campaigning virtually stopped after Bhutto's death, in part out of respect for the traditional 40-day mourning period and also over fears that Islamic extremists will attack large public gatherings. However, Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party said it was ready to resume the campaign following the end of the mourning period. The party, now led by her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, plans a major rally Saturday. About 10,000 mourners were at Bhutto's tomb in the southern province of Sindh to mark the end of the mourning period. Crowds filed inside the Bhutto family's grand marble mausoleum, where they showered petals on her grave.

Demand for jobless aid drops, raises concerns WASHINGTON — The number of newly laid off workers filing applications for unemployment benefits dropped last week, but not enough to indicate that strains on the labor market are easing. The Labor Department reported Thursday that 356,000 claims for jobless benefits were filed last week, a decline of 22,000 from the previous week. The decline only erased a part of the huge jump of 72,000 in claims of the previous week The four-week average for jobless claims rose to 335,000 which was the highest level in a month. A severe slowdown in economic growth that has raised concerns about a possible recession has begun to affect the labor market. The government reported last week that the economy shed 17,000 jobs in January, the first monthly job loss in more than four years. Analysts said the performance of claims in the past two weeks showed that a surprising decline in claims from mid-December to mid-January was a statistical fluke caused by difficulty in adjusting the numbers around holidays and the start of the year. They predicted further increases in jobless claims in coming weeks as more companies are forced to lay off employees. "In this environment, simply cutting back on hiring will not be enough for companies to maintain earnings as demand slows. Jobs will have to be cut too," said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

Kong to work or find a way to remain in the United States. A friend suggested teaching and after receiving an offer to teach in Illinois, the University gained Lau's services by offering a more lucrative pay package. That was 1977. More than 30 years later, Lau continues to teach in Lawrence and travel to photograph immigrants and the desitide across the globe. Lau said without the help of the University he never could have compiled the work now on display in China. "I think KU is extremely supportive of what I do," Lau said. "Without KU's support, I would never be able to achieve as much as I have." Greg Thomas, chair of the design department, said the University is just as grateful to have Lau as a member of its faculty. He said Lau's global recognition and ability to put ideas in a global perspective make him a priceless asset to the University, especially after the PhotoMedia major was created CONTRIBUTED PHOTO last year. "This is someone who can get a faculty position really anywhere he wanted to." Thomas said. "We are fortunate to keep him here. We aren't making him any richer, but the fact that he likes it here is to our benefit." Lau enjoys his life in central Kansas as well. His son, Tyler, attends the University and the relationships he shares with his students keeps him motivated after 31 odd years. Lau said he is encouraged by his student's growth as individuals rather than judging them solely by scholarly performance. Conversely, his students feel honored to have the privilege to learn from a man as accomplished in his field as Lau. Lauren Fulton, Dallas sophomore, said he teaches on a much more personal level than she has ever encountered with any other teacher. "He stresses that you have to put yourself out there, push beyond being an introvert and being uncomfortable in a situation then be willing to face the unpleasant and hopefully learn from it in the long run," she said. Lau certainly understands the unpleasant, but he said he believes that by documenting the unpleasant he and his students can continue to open the people's eyes to important issues. "The photograph is a vehicle for conversation to carry from one generation to the other," he said.

The top four finalists will also receive $2,000 and all 10 finalists will receive $200. Wally Meyer, director of entrepreneurship programs in the School of Business, which sponsored the competition, said the purpose of the competition was to allow undergraduate students at the University of Kansas to realize their dream of starting and running their own business. response. The 10 finalists were chosen from 80 different submissions, which Meyer said was an extraordinary Each submission was a five-page business plan, which presented the product or service, the marketing plan and the final aspects for starting the new venture. "It really takes a lot of work to not only think up the idea, but to also do the research about the industry and put it together into a very cohesive, five-page plan," Meyer said. Each team has 20 minutes to present a presentation of its plan to a panel of judges at the competition, which will be held in Alcove J. on the third floor of the Union at 12:30 p.m. this afternoon. Bob Taylor, a judge in the competition, said the number one thing judges would be looking for was how well an idea could sell. business idea could be successful in today's market,' Taylor said. Judges will announce the winner of the Morris Award at the awards banquet in Parlor ABC immediately following the competition. Josh Schoenfelder, one of the ten finalists, said he would use the prize money to fund his outside mobile advertising idea, which involves the coordination between advertising agencies and independent trucking companies. "I'm definitely using this contest as an opportunity to explore the industry and if I win, I'll use the funds to research the opportunity of possibly launching the business," Schoenfelder said. Both the competition and the banquet are closed to the public. —Edited by Samuel Lamb NATION Hope survives after tornadoes Brian ASSOCIATED PRESS CASTALIAN SPRINGS. Tenn.—The muddy field was littered with debris after a wave of violent storms: Living room couches, strollers, children's toys. So when two rescuers came upon a baby, they thought he was a doll. Then he moved. "We grabbed hold of his neck (to take a pulse) and he took a breath of air and started crying," said David Harmon, a firefighter from a nearby county who was combing the field for tornado victims. Kyson Stowell, 11 months, is held by his grandmother, Kay Stowell, at a hospital in Nashville, Tenn. Thursday, Feb. 7, 2008. Kyson was found in a field, about 100 yards away from where his house had been, after a severe storm went through Castalian Springs, Tenn. His mother, Kerri Stowell, was killed. ASSOCIATED PRESS The boy was found at least 100 yards away from where his family's house had been, possibly lifted by the storm's fierce winds, according to witnesses at the scene on Thursday. There was no trace of exactly where the house stood. His mother, who did not survive, was found in the same field. In a region devastated by tornadoes that killed at least 57 people as they swept through five states, the infant was a sign of hope. The 11-month old boy, named Kyson, was surrounded by flattened homes, bricks from a blown-apart post office and snapped trees. The baby's mother, 24-year-old Kerri Stowell, was one of six people killed in the small community, said Sumner County Sheriff Barker B.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff joined Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen Thursday on a helicopter tour of storm damage in the jackson area. The twisters killed 32 people in Tennessee, 13 in Arkansas, seven in Kentucky and five in Alabama, emergency officials said. It was one of the 15 worst tornado death tolls since 1950, and the nation's deadliest barrage of tornadoes since 76 people were killed in Pennsylvania and Ohio on May 31, 1985. "You don't really think it's going to hit you until you realize it on top of you, then it's too late," he said. weather conditions were ripe for tornadoes and forecasters were ready with warnings and in many hard-hit areas, sirens and TV warnings were credited with helping keep the death toll from being even worse. The National Weather Service put out more than 1,000 tornado warnings covering an 11-state radius from 3 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday. In the mostly rural area of Lafayette, there are no tornado sirens. Shelvy Linville, the county mayor, said he didn't think they would have made much difference because of the way the 23,000 residents are spread out. The three Blackhawk helicopters circled Union University, where 26 students had to be rescued after being trapped in the rubble of dormitories that were shredded around them by a tornado. Several students were injured, but remarkably no one was killed. Debris from the dorms and overturned cars remained strewn across the campus. The helicopters followed the path of of the storm, tracing the wreckage of trees, homes and vehicles. Charity efforts were beginning for those who lost their homes. A classroom inside the Pleasant Field Full Gospel Church building in Scottsville, Ky., was filled with bags of clothes and a nearby kitchen was stuffed with donated food. "I find it astonishing. It is truly a miracle that lives were not lost there," Bredesen said.

The shrine was destroyed by a group of militants who planted explosive in February 2006, while the two of the mosques' minarets were destroyed in another bombing by militants in June 2007. The Samarra mosque bombing set off a bloody cycle of sectarian violence in Iraq. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Iraqi and U.N. officials toured a bomb-damaged Shiite shrine in northern Iraq on Wednesday as workers took the first steps in a long-delayed reconstruction — nearly two years after the attack on the famed golden dome became a rallying point for Shite rage. Crews in blue jumpsuits and orange helmets picked through mounds of rubble spilling from the mosque in Samarra, about 60 miles north of Baghdad, which became the spark for a vicious cycle of sectarian violence after the Feb. 22, 2006, blast blamed on al-Qaida in Iraq. Months of bloodletting between Shiite and Sunni extremists claimed tens of thousands of lives and lurched Iraq dangerously close to civil war. A second bomb attack last year on June 13 toppled the twin minarets, prompting Shiite clerics to step up calls for the reconstruction of the Askariya shrine. The complex contains the tombs of two ninth-century imams who were descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, and Shites consider them to be among his successors. An envoy for Iraq's Shiteled government, Haq al-Hakim, described the $16 million rebuilding effort as a symbol of national unity at a time when violence is decreasing across most of Iraq. But the count Wednesday showed how quickly bloodshed can return. Iraiq police reported at least 30 people killed or found dead around the country, including eight beheaded bodies found in the Diyala province northeast of the capital. It was one of the highest daily tolls in weeks — and included some U.S.-allied Sunni fighters who have joined the battle against al-Qaida. Gunmen ambushed a member of a so-called Awakening Council in Salahuddin province, killing him and three bodyguards. The attack came hours after a roadside bomb struck an Awakening Council patrol in the same province, killing a former militiaman. In Samarra, workers cleaned tiles and welded metal bars as the delegation surveyed the site. Nearly three dozen checkpoints have been erected to protect the workers, who began the reconstruction project Monday. An envoy for Iraq's Shiite-led government, Haq al-Hakim, described the $16 million rebuilding effort as a symbol of national unity. cultural agency UNESCO, told AP Television News. "It is not an ordinary building project." Lauai Kamal, the chief engineer for the endowment responsible for "The situation is not easy. We know that there have been delays due to the security situation and preparations," Mohammed Dijelid, head of the Iraqi branch of the U.N. the mosque, said the first phase would mostly entail separating reusable debris from rubble. Ground tests also will assess the stability of the building. South of Baghdad, a roadside bomb exploded near a police convoy transporting suspected Shiite militia fighters who were detained. Four civilians in a car behind the police convoy were killed in the apparent attempt to free the detainees, Brig. Gen. Ghassan Mohammed Ali said. The attack occurred in Diwaniyah, 80 miles south of Baghdad, the site of fierce fighting between Shite militias seeking control of Iraq's oil-rich south. Separately, Iraq's prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, spoke with President Bush during a video conference ahead of negotiations over the future U.S. military presence in the country, according to a statement from al-Maliki's office. The military agreement is expected by July, and would replace the current U.N. mandate. The U.S. military, meanwhile, provided further details about a disputed raid Tuesday in Adwar, 10 miles south of Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. A military statement said soldiers came under fire as they approached a suspected insurgent-held house. ELECTION ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — John McCain effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his faltering campaign, "I must now stand aside, for our party and our country," Romney told conservatives. McCain leads race Romney drops out "If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaise. be a part of aiding a surrender to terror," Romney told the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington. Romney's decision leaves McCain as the top man standing in the GOP edge of the conversation. Within hours of Romney's speech, former Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman endorsed McCain and urged all members of the GOP to back him. "Our party has had many outstanding candidates this year, but it is now time for Republicans across the country to unite," Mehlman said. McCain prevailed in most of the Super Tuesday states, moving closer to the 1,191 delegates needed to win the nomination at this summer's convention in St. Paul. "Our party has had many outstanding candidates this year, but it is now time for Republicans across the country to unite." Commenting on his front-runner status — a title he had and lost last year — McCain told the conference, "This time I now have that distinction and I prefer to hold onto it for quite a while." race, with Mike Huckabee and Texas Rep. Ron Paul far behind in the delegate hunt. It was a remarkable turnaround for McCain, who some seven months ago was barely viable, out of cash and losing staff. The four-term Arizona senator, denied his party's nomination in 2000, was poised to succeed George W. Bush as the GOP standard-bearer. KEN MEHLMAN Former RNC chairman McCain and Romney spoke by phone after Romney's speech, though no endorsement was requested nor offered, according to a Republican official with knowl- Minn. Overall, McCain led with 707 delegates, to 294 for Romney, 195 for Huckabee and Paul at 14. Romney suspended his campaign, allowing him to hold onto his delegates. However, if McCain secures their support combined with his own delay. McCann secures their support combined with his own delegates he would be near at the magic number and Huckabee would be mathematically eliminated. It is unlikely Romney would throw his support to Huckabee; the animosity between the two has pervaded the GOP race. Ronney launched his campaign almost a year ago in his native Michigan. The former Massachusetts governor and venture capitalist invested more than $40 million of his own money into the race, counted on early wins in Iowa and New Hampshire that never materialized and won just seven states on Super Tuesday, mostly small caucus states. McCain took the big prizes of. New York and California. All the Places You Can Go... OMA & University Career Center Career Fair www.kucareerhawk.

Tyler Doehring COMMENTARY Is embracing campus diversity an asset or liability? JOSH ANDERSON When I was a child, the answer to the question of why I was brown and my brothers were white dawned on me as I sat in the kitchen drinking my evening glass of milk with them; my brothers liked white milk, and I liked chocolate milk. If you could have only witnessed the amount of chocolate milk I consumed as a child, you wouldn't scoff on my logic. When I grew up, I found that the concept with which I was confronted—diversity—was posing as difficult a problem to the grown-ups around me as it did when I was a child. On returning to school last year, I found that the diversity question was being dealt with by the good folks at the Multicultural Resource Center. On the credentials of my above mentioned theory on diversity, they hired me as a member of the Diversity Peer Education Team, a group that "provides workshops and presentations intended to promote awareness about the diversity that exists on KU campus." Being involved with the program has helped me to coalesce my own various and wandering thoughts on the subject and work towards a theory of my own. I've noticed two separate ways of thinking about race: The first says that it is best to not concern yourself with a person's race, but to look to the person inside. The second says that a person's race or ethnicity is a part of who they are. The latter is superior, I believe, because it disregards the presupposition that difference in race is synonymous with inequality while choosing not to ignore the truth of the matter; that between us there exist differences. "Diversity" you will hear it said "should be considered an asset, not a liability." This describes the kind of value we place on diversity, a thing that used to be seen as "bad", but is now seen as "good". But this rhetoric transforms diversity education into an act of providing incentive for changing one's mind about it: it is now merely an act of trying to convince people that diversity is good. A more accurate statement would be to say that diversity is neither an asset nor a liability, but a reality - especially in a globalizing world. I've heard it taught, in a diversity and journalism context, that one shouldn't approach a minority to ask a question about an issue stemming from being a minority, because this will somehow make them feel unusual. Essentially, don't approach a black person because they're black to ask them about a being black. This is tantamount to saying "Hey, you're unusual, can I ask you some questions about unusually?" What this states is that being a minority is synonymous with being unusual and what that comes from is a misunderstanding about the idea of difference, and how it applies to people. No one person is "different." The term "different" can't exist if only one person is in question. Once you have two people, the concept of "difference" exists. "Difference" exists in this abstract space between people; it does not rest on any one person. One person cannot be different, but two or more cannot help be it. Education should work to erase whatever reticence one might have at approaching someone of a different race or background, since once the idea that this person is unusual or weird is gone, any apprehension should leave with it, barring whatever else you might know about the person, in terms of his or her lack of social and/or hygiene skills. Diversity is more than difference in race: it's difference in gender, sexual orientation, religion, experience and a myriad of other things, but my theory still stands: 1) "difference" isn't a quality of any one person, and 2) any approach to them involving that presupposition would therefore be flawed. I believe that any approach to any problem should involve critical evaluation, and diversity should not be an exception. Once the root of this has been gotten to, then perhaps we can grow beyond the question, and once we abandon the idea that individuals are somehow "different" in and of themselves, then we can approach the real question of living together, and evolve through our lack of understanding.

COMMENTARY Leave my athletes alone, let them play their games Sports are sports, there is no need to talk about steroids as long as the athletes continue to win NICK MANGIARACINA NICK MANGIARACINA It just pains me to see these athletes suffer. Why does the media have to beat up on them any way? Did you see poor Marion Jones cry at that press conference when all the reporters put those sticks in her face? You people really know how to make a woman feel alone. Just because Jones was juicing doesn't give them the right to take her medals. She ran so fast on the T.V.; Did you see her? She didn't know she was doing anything wrong. Why punish her? She's just a child. Now you wouldn't put a child behind bars now would you? Plus, what people should know She's so inspiring and smiles so much—especially when she won those medals. Marion ain't the only one suffering though. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have been taking a beating too. People have been calling them all sorts of names — "cheater" and "liar." I've seen the hurt in their eyes. They aren't responsible—just look at them. You showed them how it should be Marion. The only thing that could've been better well've been if she was wearing the stars and bars. Plus, those people talking' bad about my boys don't know Barry and Roger like I do. People are saying they shamed America and baseball. They don't know what they're talk- America is about winning and the only thing more American than that is apple pie. is she won. Didn't she? Another thing I'm mad about is people saying star athletes don't have problems—least of all big ones, you know? That ain't true. What do you think keeps them awake at night? Same stuff we worry about they worry about too: Money. ing' about. I've watched the games on the T.V. I've been there in spirit You've tried deciding what to do with your bills before? It ain't easy. They have more of it—how you think they feel? They make millions selling themselves. We need to get back to the games—so's here's to being happy. They're better than us people, so let them play. If we were better athletes wed be there instead of here. Fact is they special cause they're good at what we ain't. They keep us busy—something we can't do well. Bless them for it. Don't scald them. What I mean to say in all this is leave them alone. Leave my athletes alone. They haven't done anything to you. They just wanted better. I reckon we seen too many mirrors these days.

Liz Kozari's quest began an hour before the game started. Both sat just as close to the court. Luke, Wichita freshman, camped with his group during the eight days. Kozarits, St. Louis junior, asked groups if they saved too many seats. She found a group who saved too many and let her sit with them. Students who rely on leftover seats from camping groups will have an even tougher time at the Baylor game Saturday, as the Kansas Athletics Department reserved about 50 seats for inductees into the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame and their families. Some campers get frustrated when fans like Kozarits try to sit in seats they camp out for. Names thrown around for the latecomers include "seat scavengers," "freeloaders" and "moocher." Kozarits said that although the group she sat with at the Border War game didn't mind her, some other groups she talked to gave her bad looks for sitting with campers. Luke said that his group typically did not allow fans not in the group to sit with them. "If people ask for our seats, we tell them we're saving them," Luke said. "You can't just freeload. If you want good seats, join a group and camp out." Some fans who want seats saved for campers who haven't arrived to the game yet will talk to the ushers to get the seats. If game time is getting close, ushers ask fans to move closer together to make more room for fans. This is when fans start to find their way into once-saved seats. This process gets some campers angry with the ushers. One usher at Monday's men's basketball game said that fans called him names like "asshole." "I'm just doing my job," said the usher, who asked to remain unnamed to prevent problems with his employer. "If the athletics director says saving is over at 6:30, I am." going to follow that." Kansas Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said that students who saved too many seats caused a problem for those who were stuck outside Allen Fieldhouse. Marchiony and others in the athletics department recommended that campers get to the game as quickly as possible to avoid potential problems. "We understand about saving seats, but there comes a point where the fire marshal may shut the building down and not let anyone else in," Marchiony said. "Then your friends may be stuck outside and not able to get in." Marchiony said that this problem happened at last year's men's basketball game against Texas A&M. More than 50 students had a hard time getting into the game because the fire marshal wouldn't allow any more fans in. Ushers asked fans to move in closer, and directed the fans to empty seats during the game. The Kansas Athletics Department has nothing to do with the camping process, Marchiony said. He said that the students controlled most of that process, and that the Kansas Athletics Department didn't want to get involved with it. Rules regarding saving seats are unclear, but the usher said that he understood that the saving process ended 30 minutes after student gates opened. This is when all other ticket-holders can enter. Luke said that the current system could reward those who showed up to the games late. "If someone's showing up late at every game and asking security to put them in a group's seats every game, then that's a problem," Luke said. Marchiony said that the current system didn't benefit latecomers because they risked ending up in seats far from the court. "The later you get to the game, the less chances you have to get a seat where you want," Marchiony said. Kozarits said she admired students who had time to camp for the games. "I respect the campers because it takes a lot of work to organize a group," Kozari said. "I definitely don't come to games to scream them." FANE Tom Dorsey and Shannon Elder, Topeka seniors, use a newspaper to seat a seat for a friend before the start of the men's basketball game against Missouri Monday at Allen Fieldhouse. Dorsey and Elder said at least one person from their group was holding their spot in line, third from the front, for the past week. over."

Lawyers for Salim Ahmed Hamdam asked in a motion ahead of pretrial hearings beginning Thursday for his military tribunal to be halted until his living conditions improve. "I do not believe that Mr. Hamdan will be able to materially assist in his defense if his conditions do not improve," wrote Andrea Prasow, one of his civilian attorneys. Hamad has been imprisoned at the isolated U.S. Navy base in southeastern Cuba since May 2002. He faces a possible life sentence if the tribunal convicts him of conspiracy and supporting terrorism. His lawyers say he is held in a "regime of isolation," with no access to fresh air for as many as 23 hours a day. During a recent month-long period, they say, he had only two recreation periods. A Guantanamo spokesman, Navy Cmdr, Rick Haupt, said Wednesday that he could not comment on specific allegations, but he said all detainees receive a minimum of two hours of recreation each day. "He's treated like everybody else," Haupt said. Hamdan currently is in Camp 5, one of two maximum-security prisons that hold the majority of Guantanamo's 275 detainees in individual, solid-wall cells. Hamdan occupied a communal living camp reserved for the best-behaved prisoners until December 2006. Since moving to an individual cell, his attorneys say, he has shown symptoms of deteriorating mental health including hopelessness, anxiety and poor memory. As a group of reporters toured Camp 5 this week, several prisoners in one cell block shouted and pounded on the walls. Covers had been placed over the narrow windows on their doors and a Guantanamo spokesman, Army Lt. Col. Ed Bush, said the inmates were acting out because they knew journalists were visiting. A psychologist who spent 70 hours examining him for the defense team, Emily Keram, said he shows signs of post-traumatic stress disorder and could be at risk for "suicidal thoughts and behavior." Defense lawyers say Hamdan, who U.S. military records show is about 37, faults them for not getting him out of the maximum-security prison. In their meetings, he has difficulty focusing on anything else, according to the court filing. Hamdan was captured in a car carrying two surface-to-air missiles by Afghan troops in November 2001 and turned over to U.S. forces. He is one of four detainees who have been charged under a new tribunal system. So far, no one has actually been tried at Guantanamo. Australian detainee David Hicks avoided trial last year with a plea bargain that returned him to his homeland to serve a jail sentence. He was first charged more than three years ago. But his prosecution has been delayed by legal challenges, including one he filed that went to the Supreme Court and resulted in the striking-down of the original rules for military tribunals in 2006. SPORTS Bush pushes for antisteroid legislation WASHINGTON — President Bush asked the Senate to swiftly approve an agreement ratified by more than 70 nations to fight the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in sports. U. S. Olympic Committee CEO Jim Scherr said he appreciated Bush's support. Known as the International Convention Against Doping in Sport, the agreement was drafted under the auspices of UNESCO. Associated Press SPORTS MEN'S BASKETBALL HOSTS BAYLOR THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 10B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL GAMEDAY PAGE OR WWW.KANSAN.COM FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8,2008 PAGE 1B PAGE 9B BASKETBALL Battle of the guards BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Russell Robinson has heard about what Baylor's guards have been doing to opposing teams this season. "You can see I'm in the gym early today," Robinson, said after getting in a few extra shots before Thursday's practice. "We're going to have a tough weekend." Those are words that might not have come out of the mouth of a Kansas player during the last few years. But this Baylor squad is different. At 17-4 and 5-2 in the Big 12 Conference, fifth-year head coach Scott Drew has Baylor head for third in the Big 12. Waco, Texas wasn't always a paradise for Drew. He arrived in 2003 after one of the ugliest scandals in NCAA history. Carlton Dotson, a former Baylor basketball player, killed teammate Patrick Dennely and was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The situation turned uglier when then-coach Dave Bliss resigned under allegations that he tried to cover up the situation and portray Dennely as a drug dealer. A myriad of NCAA sanctions came down on the program, and Drew – the new coach – was left to pick up the pieces. Drew slowly turned the program around, and the main reason for Baylor's success this season has been the play of its quintet of guards. "Baylor is probably as deep at the guard position as anybody in the country, one through five," Self said. Senior Aaron Bruce, junior Curtis Jerrells, junior Henry Dugat, sophomore Tweety Carter, and freshman LaceDarius Dunn have a combined average of 56.7 points per game. SOFTBALL Jerrells, a honorable-mention All-Big 12 last season, is leading Baylor with 14.4 points per game. Dugat can score as well, Carter's a former McDonald's All-American, and Dunn is a threat from the outside. "You can line them up and play anybody" Self said. "They got a little bit of everything' Robinson said. Baylor could provide just the right test for a Kansas team trying to raise its defensive play. Kansas has only produced nine steals during its last three games. Self said he expected his team's steal to decrease when Big 12 play began, but he says he's still concerned with his teams defense. "We're getting beat way to much on the bounce, because we're lunging and reaching too much." Self said. "We're not forcing turnovers. It's a bad combination." Robinson has heard Self's complaints. "Coach calls it fishing and missing," Robinson said. "We're doing a little bit of gambling, a little out of synch, our help defense hasn't been great." Kansas guards Robinson, junior Mario Chalmers, junior Brandon Rush, and sophomore Sherron Collins will be expected to contain Baylor's backcourt.

High hopes for spring BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com The University of Kansas softball team has high hopes for the coming season. Yes, the team lost National Player of the Year candidate Kassie Humphreys, but coach Tracy Bunge said there was plenty of reason for optimism. Bunge said the team voted junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto, senior first baseman Addy Lucero and junior catcher Elle Pottrorf as captains. Crissto said that by being a captain, she wanted to set an example for her teammates. "I want to be more disciplined on and off the field," Criso told. Bunge said she thought the team would have a very balanced lineup this season. Bunge said she expected Potorf and freshman catcher Brittany Hile to be great defensively behind the plate and she also expected Crisosto to play well at shortstop. "I expect her to have a really solid year for and really be as good as anybody in the big 12 at that position.' Bunge said. With the loss of Humphreys, the pitching rotation will be relied upon in a different way. Bunge said she didn't need the pitching staff to shut out opposing teams, but just to limit opportunities, because of the strength the Jayhawks have offensively and defensively. "We're going to have to really pitch smart this year and pitch well." Bunge said. Bunge spoke highly about this year's freshmen class as well. Freshman second baseman Kolby Fessmire, Hile, and freshman outfielder Liz Kocon are all competing for starting positions, Bunge said. their bats. "They've given us a lot more depth," Bunge said. Bunge said she believes the offense will be very balanced and take some of the pressure off of the pitching staff. She believes many of the Jayhawks can contribute with "I don't think it's going to be one person that carries the load." Bunge said. Of course, Crisosto was the team leader in batting average last season, but Bunge added that a healthy Pottorf and junior outfielder Dougie McCaulley, a left-handed batter, would help solidify the Kansas lineup. "We've got a lot of production possibilities in our lineup." Bunge said. The lajhayws have a lot of goals for the season, Bunge said. Of course increasing their win total is one, but Bunge also said the team is striving for a high fielding percentage, around .975 or .980. Crisoš took it even farther, saying the team wanted to make regional postseason play and finish in the top five in the Bie 12. Bunge said the weather has hindered the team's preparation and that the warm weather team's may have the advantage early in the season, but this Jayhawk team will be dangerous.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO 》 COMMENTARY Jackson's comeback an amazing feat The 6-foot -8 Oklahoma City native's story is really a remarkable one; one that not many of us will ever be able to top. It's a story of sorrow, sadness, emptiness and now triumph. His well-documented past, including the deaths of four family members and two close friends, has given Jackson a path to success that few others will be able to achieve. 11 Tragedy after tragedy continued to follow Jackson in recent years, and he thought more and more about quitting school and returning home to be with his family. He almost did, according to a recent article in Sports Illustrated magazine that I recommend you read. Not one of us would have questioned his decision, and we would have supported Jackson and wished him the best. Family comes first, and it would have been too much for almost any of us to take. Think you're having a bad day? Darnell Jackson has had worse. Hurting because you lost a family member? Darnell Jackson has hurt worse. Having the time of your life? Yup, Darnell Jackson can top that, too. But not Jackson. He decided to do the opposite, turning a sub-par KU career into one that will probably ensure his selection in the upcoming NBA draft. He turned 6.3 points and 4.9 rebounds average his sophomore year into a 12.9 points, 7.6 rebounds average this season. And it's not a coincidence that Jackson's improved play has coincided with the layhawks' 22-1 record. The team's scoring balance, probably the best in the nation, was accomplished in large part because of Jackson's contributions on the offensive end. Most teams can boast two low-post threats similar to Darrell Arthur and Sasha Kau, but BY B.J. RAINS bijrains@kansan.com few can say they have three as the Jayhawks now can with the emergence of Jackson. Add in Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson and Sherron Collins, and the Jayhawks have arguably the best top-seven in all of college basketball. And Jackson, who didn't start playing basketball until ninth grade, is one of the main reasons why. Though his numbers have gone up and he now hears his name announced during the starting lineup on a regular basis for the first time in his career, Jackson continues to play each second as a tribute to those he has lost and those who still support and love him. After each made free throw, Jackson taps his heart three times with a closed right fist. One tap is for his Grandmother Evon, who died tragically from injuries she sustained after being hit by a drunk driver in May 2005. One tap is for his mother, Shawn, who was injured severely during that same car wreck and continues to be Jackson's best friend and driving force in his turnaround. And one tap is for his friend and mentor Don Davis, who illegally paid him $5,000 in benefits, which KANSAN FILE PHOTO Despite past sorrows, Darnell Jackson proves to be an important part of the team. KANSAS 32 5 forced Jackson to sit out nine games during the beginning of the 2005-2006 season with a NCAA-issued suspension. Three simple taps to his chest, but a constant reminder of the past struggles he has overcome and the current success he is enjoying. "Everything is coming true," Jackson said. "I am having a great time. I am enjoying every minute of it." And for those who have followed Jackson's career at Kansas and the troubled past that he has overcome, we, too, are enjoying every minute.

Open Monday Feb.11th Missouri players involved in fights, repeat incidents BASKETBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS Since the hiring of coach Mike Anderson less than two years ago, five Tiger players have been involved in off-court violence or misconduct. Capt. Mike Martin said that both Hannah and Horton, along with sophomore guard Keon Lawrence and junior guard Mike Anderson Jr., were interviewed by police after Carroll's shooting. COLUMBIA, Mo. — Two University of Missouri basketball players involved in an altercation that left one with a broken jaw and the other facing criminal assault charges were seen at two earlier fights that resulted in gunfire last year, police said Thursday. Police said that Carroll and an unidentified 23-year-old man were shot after an early morning argument between Club Tropicana employees, bar patrons and people outside the club. In the convenience store incident, officers responded to a Break Time parking lot after 2 a.m. on Dec. 16, 2007, when police heard three to five gunshots. No injuries were reported, though a clerk said that 30 people were in the parking lot before the shots were fired. Police interviewed both Hannah and Horton about that fight but were not considered suspects, Martin said. Three other men later were arrested in the shooting. Martin said that Carroll was not involved in the fight, echoing statements by Anderson and his spokesman that Carroll, who is Anderson's nephew, was caught in the crossfire while trying to break up the dispute. There have been no arrests in that shooting. Two days after the Athena assault, Anderson responded by suspending Hannah, Horton and three other players for violating curfew. Senior guards Steffon Hannah and Jason Horton — along with two other teammates — were present when teammate DeMarre Carroll was shot in the ankle outside a downtown nightclub in July 2007, police Capt. Mike Martin said. Hannah and Horton also were at a later fight that resulted in gunfire outside a convenience store, Martin said. The presence of Hannah and Horton at the convenience store is an apparent violation of a 9 p.m. curfew Anderson established after Carroll's shooting as part of what he called a "zero-tolerance" policy. The disclosure, first reported by the Columbia Daily Tribune, raises more questions about player brushes with the law in light of a Jan. 27 fight outside the Athena nightclub that left Hannah, the team's leading scorer the past two years, with a broken jaw. The curfew was moved back to 11 p.m. on weeknights and midnight on weekends at the beginning of the school year. Horton, who joined Hannah as a starter in Missouri's backcourt, was later arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault, after a 26-year-old Athena employee told police Horton repeatedly punched him in the face. on tv this weekend Forwards Leo Lyons and Marshall Brown were reinsted after missing one game, while Horton and forward Darryl Butterfield — already on probation after pleading guilty to a lesser charge of peace disturbance for a fight involving his ex-girlfriend — rejoined the team after missing two games.

The layhawks were great. Untouchable. They looked like a sure-fire Final Four team. Mark Dent: They don't anymore, though. Mark Dent: The loss to Kansas State changed Kansas. The team is just not playing with the same bounce on defense. They're like Peter Parker in "Spider Man 2" when his powers start fading. He gets them back, but the layhaws might not get theirs. C Rustin Dodd: I disagree. Rustin Dodd: It it's flawed logic to say the Jayhawks looks like "a sure fire the jaywaks looked like Final Four team." Yes, they started 20-0, and they were rarely tested -- but nobody is a sure-fire national champion. Anything can happen in March. Sure, the K-State loss exposed a chink in the armor - a small chink. But let's be fair, the 1998 Chicago Bulls would have had trouble beating K-State in Bramplight Coliseum on Jan. 30. STATE CITY Rustin Dodd: I will agree Kansas lost momentum after losing to K-State. Rustin Dodd: But to truly get it back, they need a statement victory, and they really haven't had any this season. The Arizona and USC wins were solid wins, and the Boston College game was an impressive performance. But until Kansas wins a conference game that equals the intensity of the K-State game, I think they are going to be stuck treading water. Rustin Dodd: That could change this weekend. Victories against Baylor and Texas on the road would put Kansas right back where they were before the K-State loss. Rustin Dodd: Well, yeah –beat Texas. Mark Dent: A victory against Baylor is not enough of a statement. Kansas has to do we than that. more than that. Mark Dent: Earlier this season the layhawks blew good teams out. Take Oklahoma for example. They won that game 85-55, and it's because they could pressure the ball. Kansas had nine steals on that Monday night, which was still below its season average at the time. The K-State game changed the way Kansas defends. The Jayhawks applied no pressure that game are. no pressure that game and haven't seen. Coach Bill Self even said the mindset since the K-State game hasn't been what it could be and that's the reason the Jayhawks are struggling on defense. Kansas has had three steals in each of the last three games. Coach Bill happen against Baylor or Texas. Self said the Missouri guards got into the lane as much as they wanted. KU$ defense is looking as soft as Bel-Air Prep's on "Fresh Prince." "It's a bad combination when you're not forcing turnovers," Self said, "and you get beat." Mark Dent: Without any pressure, you can't blow someone out. The Jayhawks allowed mediocre teams like Colorado and Missouri to hang around for too long. Baylor is good, and if Kansas doesn't get good enough pressure, the game will be way too close. Mark Dent: The Jayhawks have to win big to get their swagger back. To do that, they'll have to successfully pressure the ball. Rustin Dodd: Blowout victories are overrated. Self said on Thursday that blowing weaker teams out can create bad habits. What this team needs is to be truly tested by a talented opponent in a game where both teams are playing at a high level. That's how you build confidence, by winning close games. BU I think Coach Self would admit that the Big 12 conference didn't do a good enough job preparing Kansas for the NCAA tournament during the last few years. Mark Dent: And that's not going to Mark Dent: Answer me this. Is Kansas playing as well as it was two weeks ago? Not-so-sweet spot Rustin Dodd: No, but two weeks ago Kansas was blowing out Iowa. State 83-59 and Nebraska 84-49 State 83-59 and Nebraska 84-49. Kansas fans should look to as fans shouldn't look to games against Iowa State and Nebraska as a measuring stick for their team. Rustin Dodd: In the long run, the K-State loss could be good for Kansas. And not because of the obvious, "Oh look what happened to the Patriots when they went through the season undefeated." Rustin Dodd: That's dumb reasoning. The loss could be beneficial because Kansas will never have to deal with an environment as volatile as the one in Manhattan. It was like the scene in "PCU" where the high school kid visits college and upsets every group on campus. Kansas still has Baylor, Texas, Kansas State and Texas A&M on the schedule. Playing that kind of schedule down the stretch prepares a team for the Tournament -- which in the end is where this team will be Mark Dent: That's very true, but the loss hurt Kansas right now. The Jayhawks aren't playing basketball at the same level as they were before the loss. It could change any day. It might change against Baylor or Texas. But right now, something's wrong. This isn't the same team that started 20-0, and it's because of the defense. If or when the pressure returns, Kansas can start rolling opponents and thinking about beating Texas or Kansas State. - Edited by Jared Duncan FEDERAL Karie Webb of Australia plays out of a bunker during her opening round of the Australian Ladies Masters Golf on the Gold Coast, Australia.

Winning streak continues Jayhawks on path to Big 12 Championship after fifth straight win BY TAYLOR MICHEL NYE tnye@kansan.com The Kansas swimming and diving team continued its roll into a championship season with a victory against Iowa State. The Jayhawks defeated Iowa State by a score of 144-89. The team improved to 6-2 and recorded its fifth straight victory. "We did very well for the challenge put before the team," Coach Clark Campbell said. "As a staff, we felt the team responded well." The meet was held at a neutral site in Columbia, Mo., on Jan. 26. Sophomore Ashley Robinson had a big day, winning the 1,000-yard freestyle and placing second in the The Jayhawks started the day with a victory in the 200-yard medley relay and placed well in both of the meet's diving events, led by freshman Erin Mertz and junior Hannah McMacken's one-two finish on the one-meter board. 500-yard freestyle. Juniors Danielle Hermann and Maria Mayrovich continued their impressive seasons, recording three victories each. "Danielle and Maria are at a new level this year," Campbell said. "Both have very big goals and are well on their way to accomplishing them." Hermann won the 200-yard individual medley and the 200-yard backstroke. Mayrovich swept the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events. Both swimmers were on the first-place relay team. "I have definitely picked up momentum as the season has gone on," Hermann said. "The past few meets I have been faster than my in-season goal times, which makes me really excited for conference." The Jayhawks haven't lost since the beginning of November, and Campbell credits that to relentless preparation. After a few early season losses the team has really stepped up and hit the end of the season," Hermann said. "Putting together our streak of dual meet wins gives us great confidence in entering this championship part of our season." As the Jayhawks conclude dual meet season the team is busy preparing for championship season. "We need to polish up a few things like relay starts, but were on track for an awesome Big 12 Championship," Campbell said. Kansas will be in Ames, Iowa, tonight, for a road test against Iowa State (5-3) in the final dual meet of the season. The Layhawks have won the last four meets against Iowa State. "It's our last opportunity to race before the Championship season," Campbell said. "Each event will be important because we need to continue to sharpen things up."

KANSAN FILE PHOTO The road wasn't friendly to the Kansas women's tennis team last weekend. The team slipped to 0-2 in dual match play after dropping both matches. The Jayhawks fell to No. 39 Arkansas 5-2 Saturday, and they suffered a tough defeat against No. 43 Tulsa, 4-3, on Sunday. "For our first match it would have been great to win, but I was pleased with some of the performances. We still have a lot of hard work to do," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "We were disappointed with the outcomes of some of the matches, but the girls realize now what we need to do every time we step out on the courts." Highlights from the weekend included an impressive victory from the duo of senior Elizaveta Avdeeva and junior Edina Horvath over the 45th-ranked double's team in the country, Arkansas' duo of Maryori Franco and Nanar Airapten. With another win the following day at Tulsa, Avdeeva and Horvath are now 4-1 overall in the spring season. Freshman Magdalena Torarczyk also looked impressive, emerging victorious in both of her singles matches, improving her overall singles record on the year to a perfect 5-0. "I'm very proud of Magdalena's performance. I'm very proud of Edina and Liza playing doubles," Hall-Holt said. Torarczyk, a late signee from Poland, said she was enjoying the conveniences playing tennis at the University allowed her. "Here the opportunities to play tennis are great because I have two great coaches and when I played in Poland I didn't have my own coach," Torarczyk said. "We have a good team and a lot of girls who I can play with."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2008 SPORTS 7B MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS P Former New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens departs the offices of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday. He gave several hours of closed-door testimony to committee lawyers about alleged use of illegal steroids and other performance enhancing drugs in professional baseball Roger Clemens, Brian McNamee go to Congress, discuss steroids use scandal in teams across the nation Baseball hits Capitol Hill ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens spent Thursday going door-to-door on Capitol Hill, lobbying congressmen investigating whether he used drugs. His accuser, Brian McNamee, gave a seven-hour deposition and his lawyers presented photographs of evidence they said will prove the star pitcher used performance-enhancing drugs. McNamee headed straight for the exit, not speaking a word to reporters, when he emerged from his interview with lawyers from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. His attorneys wouldn't discuss the deposition, but they did talk at length about two color photographs they showed the committee for the first time. "Roger Clemens has put himself in a position where his legacy as the greatest pitcher in baseball will depend less on his ERA and more on his DNA," said one of McNamee's lawyers, Earl Ward. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner's denials of McNamee's allegations in the Mitchell Report about drug use drew Congress' attention. The committee has scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday, when Clemens, McNamee and other witnesses, including New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitt, are to testify. McNamee's attorneys said their client turned over physical evidence to a federal prosecutor for the Northern District of California last month, shortly after Clemens held a Jan. 7 nationally televised news conference at which he played a taped conversation between the two men with conflicting accounts at the center of the issue. "At that point," Ward said, "(McNamee) decided there was no holds barred." One photo shows a crushed beer can — which Richard Emery, another of McNamee's attorneys, said was taken out of a trash can in Clemens' — that contained needles used to inject Clemens. That picture also shows what Emery said was gauze used to wipe blood off Clemens after a shot. New York apartment in late 2001 The other picture shows vials of what Emery said were testosterone, and needles — items the attorney said Clemens gave to McNamee for safekeeping at the end of the 2002 baseball season. McNamee's attorneys did not know when the items would be tested — or when the results might be known. "We look forward to the results of these tests." Emery said, "and we look forward to just definitively finishing this whole controversy and ending this circus" About an hour later, and a short walk away, Clemens held a news conference at which one of his attorneys, Rusty Hardin, repeatedly attacked McNamee, calling him a "troubled, not-well man." COLLEGE BASKETBALL Xavier wins with buzzer-beater Musketeers defeat Saint Louis after sloppy second half ASSOCIATED PRESS Josh Duncan led a balanced attack with 15 points for Xavier (19-4, 7-1 Atlantic 10), which squandered all of a 16-point cushion against the persistent Billikens. Drew Lavender added 13 points and three others scored in double figures for Xavier, which has won five in a row and 11 of 12. ST. LOUIS — Derrick Brown made a tip-in with 0.1 seconds to go, enabling No. 13 Xavier to barely avoid a second-half meltdown in a 70-68 victory over Saint Louis on Thursday night. Kevin Lisch had three 3-pointers and a three-point play in the final minute, and his driving layup and free throw with 11.6 seconds to go tied it at 68. Lisch was a career-best 6-for-9 from 3-point range and scored 25 points for Saint Louis, which also got 11 points from Luke Meyer and 10 from Tommy Liddell III. Brown, who finished with 12 points and nine rebounds, timed Anderson, who played his first two seasons at Manhattan, topped 1,000 career points on his first basket. Saint Louis led only once after Barry Eberhardt's 3 for a 13-12 lead with 12:18 to go in the first half. Eberhardt was 2-for-2 from 3-point range and is 7-for-13 on the year after hitting another from long range during Saint Louis' comeback. Duncan and C.J. Anderson each had two baskets in a 10-0 run that put the Musketeers in control at 29-15 with just over four minutes to go. Duncan hit his first four shots and had 13 points in the half, while Lavender hit his first three shots and had eight points. in a missed shot by a driving Drew Lavender just ahead of the buzer. Xavier held Saint to 27-percent shooting while taking a 35-22 lead at the break. It's the Billikens' worst showing for a half outside of a horrish 14.6-percent showing, the NCAAs worst in the Washington clock era, in a 49-20 loss at George Washington ten. 10. NEED CASH?

Nationwide Tour grad Roland Thatcher was a shot back along with Q-school grad Brad Adamonis and John Mallinger, third at Pebble Beach last year as a rookie. The star gazing took place at Poppy Hills, and while it didn't always produce great golf to match the spectacular sunshine on the Monterey Peninsula, it was entertaining. Surprising start at Pebble Beach ASSOCIATED PRESS PEBLE BEACH, Calif. — The celebrity watch at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am took place everywhere but the top of the leaderboard Thursday. Defending champion Phil Mickelson was on the verge of shooting himself out of the tournament until a birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie burst enabled him to recover with a 71 and stay in the game. Greg Norman, playing on the PGA Tour for the first time in 18 months, was holding steady until a four-putt on the 13th hole for a double bogey. He finished with a 76. His fiancee, tennis great Chris Evert, flew in from Florida and didn't make it out to the golf course until Norman was on the 16th.

Athletes and coaches are talking openly about the dirty air. Dozens of countries are setting up pre-Olympic training camps in Japan or South Korea. The powerful American swim team is basing itself far away in Singapore. There are plans to test facemasks — if not in competition, at least during training and leisure time. Beijing has struggled to reduce the sooty mix of ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide that often blankets the city at a level five times higher than the World Health Organization's safety standard. "It's not easy", acknowledged Deng Yaping, the four-time Olympic gold medalist in table tennis and the deputy director of the Athletes' Village, which will house 17,000 willers and offi- top female athlete of the 20th century. "I'm sure we will make every possible effort to make a cleaner environment for all the athletes." cials. "The environment is not easy. And it's not short term so that you can see the results." Officials aren't saying how they'll solve the problem when the games open Aug. 8. Factories will close, dust-spewing construction will slow and more than a million vehicles are sure to be banned. The one-party state will surely marshal its vast resources or risk a public relations disaster. "If there are serious problems, of course ... it's better not to come," Halle Gebelsseliae said on a visit this week to Beijing. "My priority if just to live and keep my health." A member of the Communist Party and the government's top advisory body, Deng said the pollution was a "world problem." Like many Chinese, she pointed out that Olympics in Los Angeles and Athens were also prefaced by pollution fears. But not everybody is convinced including the world's greatest distance runner. "They (organizers) are trying to The marathon world record holder said he it's possible he may skip the Olympics. If he comes, he's undecided whether he'll run the marathon or the 10,000 meters. "I'm sure we will make every possible effort to make a cleaner environment for all the athletes," added Deng, who was voted China's DENG YAPING Deputy director of Athletes' village do something. That's OK," he said. "The pollution is the most important thing. Actually, when we talk about the pollution, it's not only during the Olympic Games, What about the people here? They are really suffering." Olympic tennis champion Justine Henin pulled out of a tournament in Beijing five months ago because the pollution aggravates her asthma, and she may avoid the games. Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica, the defending Olympic 200-meter champion and world 100-meter champion, explained her strategy on a visit. "Just stay away until it's really time to start competing," she said. The International Olympic Committee has pressed China for months to solve the problem, and president Jacques Rogge has warned that some endurance events would be postponed if the air is bad. "A number of contingency plans have been outlined and some air quality data reported to us," IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies said. "But we are still encouraging the organizing committee to share further data with us so that we can gain a deeper understanding of the efficacy of the plans." Davies said recent test events had been held "without any major complaints or incidents." However, this is not completely accurate with several boxers, cyclists and triathletes having griped about the air. "We have reason to believe that the issue, although challenging, will be managed appropriately by our Chinese hosts," Davies added. The Olympic equestrian venue is Hong Kong, which also has bad smog as well as stifling heat and humidity. The Swiss dressage team has said it plans to stay away, and Canadian and German riders have talked about pulling out. No one disputes the grandeur of the venues and Beijing's astounding $40 billion facelift, which includes new roads, subway lines and a myriad of skyscrapers. The $200 million National Aquatics Center, known as the Water Cube, opened last week to rave reviews. One of the few criticisms was the see-through honeycomb facade, which showed the grit from the city pollution. "The pool's out of the world," high-ranking IOC member Kevan Gosper said "Youd think it was sent in from another planet." The final venue to be completed will be the iconic symbol of the Olympics — the $485 million Bird's Nest national stadium that opens this spring. The 91,000-seat building is a soaring steel wicker basket that symbolizes China's 21st century ambitions. "How to serve the athletes, how to serve the media and how to serve so many spectators. That is the hardest work rather than building the venues," said Deng, who most likely will be one of the final torchbearers and may be among the favorites to light the caldron. The games should produce perfect TV abroad, showing the country's power and growing wealth. On state-run TV at home — which never shows bad news about the Olympics — the games should appeal to Chinese national pride. A new multibillion-dollar airport terminal opens in a few months, a gargantuan glass and steel structure to wow Olympic visitors. A new airport subway line will also open for the Olympics. So will a new line serving the venues, and another curving north-to-south through the city. Despite promises to the IOC to improve human rights, Beijing has continued to detain and sentence high-profile political dissidents. The 30,000 journalists expected are also coming under scrutiny, as are government promises of unfettered access to report. "Beijing has given virtually no signs that it intends to keep the promises made to the international community in exchange for hosting the games," said Sophie Richardson, a spokeswoman for Human Rights Watch. "On the contrary, we have witnessed a systematic effort to silence, suppress and repress Chinese citizens who are trying to push the government into greater respect for fundamental rights." Chinese officials have become prickly to criticism, saying the games should be free of politics. "China has made resolute commitments for the Olympics and, as GIANT BOOK SALE $4 Hardbacks and $2 Paperbacks • Fiction • Non-fiction • Biography • Cooking • Home & Gardening • Chapter Books • Children's Educational Books • Activity Books & More "Why pay half price for used books when you could save up to 80% off new books?

"Meanwhile we should keep in mind that China has its laws and regulations... China is a country ruled by bullets." The challenge of finding enough Chinese who speak English also is a problem. So is the quest to make the games uniquely Chinese — while retaining an international flavor China's generally secretive police agencies are tightening visa requirements, doing more spot checks of foreigners and working on tight security. Besides terrorists, China also wants 'to stem protests by activist groups critical of Chinese policies regarding Sudan, human rights, religion and the environment. Weather officials are even claiming they'll be able to make it rain — or clear the air and prevent rain if it threatens the opening or closing ceremony. — and preparing for the unexpected. "Before a table tennis competition, I always had to think what my opponent would try to do and what solution I will find," said Deng, the four-time gold medalist. "So I would find 100, 1,000 (tactics). If something happened, I had a way to solve it." "I think that will be exactly the same for our preparations. We have to predict. You think there is no chance something will happen, but we have to find a solution even if it doesn't happen." And there are only six months to go. 》 NBA PUNS 2 Lakers 42 Phoenix Suns guard Marcus Banks, left, drives to the basket past Philadelphia Teers defenders Kevin Ollie, center and Shavik Randiph, right, during the fourth quarter of an NBA basketball game in Phoenix on Nov 17, 2006. The Phoenix Suns acquired quarterback O'Neal in a stunning, blockbuster deal that sends four-time All-Star Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat on Wednesday. O'Neal confident with transfer to Suns Nash not preoccupied with O'Neal's injury ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — Shaquille O'Neal had strong words for those who doubt he can fit in with the Phoenix Suns. O'Neal, once the game's dominant big man but now slowed by a hip injury, said he is motivated by the negative talk. "I'm very upset," he said Thursday at a news conference to introduce him as a member of his new team. "You just don't really want to get me upset. When I'm upset, I'm known to do certain things — like win championships." "This team has always been there in the Western Conference," he said. "They just couldn't quite get over the hump. I think with my experience and my on the court-off the court leadership, I can help them get over the hump." Asked what he felt when he heard he could be going to Phoenix, O'Neal said, "I wanted it to happen because I was going to be coming to a fabulous team with a lot of unselfish players, a lot of great players." The crowd went crazy. The message he was sending on the big screen at the Phoenix-New Orleans game was clear. He intends to bring to Phoenix the championship that has eluded the Suns through their 40-year history. The trade that brought O'Neal to Phoenix on Wednesday is one of the most unexpected in NBA history, a blockbuster that sent Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami and came together in just a few days On Wednesday night, he was smiling. He stood from his seat in a suite high above the court at US Airways Center. He pointed to his ring finger and gave a thumbs up. MIKE D'ANTONI Phoenix Suns' head coach O'Neal was out for two weeks with a hip injury but cleared his physical Wednesday and hopes to play before the All-Star break. can't run," he said. "But I love to run, especially if I'm playing with a great guy like I'm Nash. I look forward to making people eat their words, I really do." under first-year Phoenix general manager Steve Kerr. "We feel like our players are giddy with the possibilities,and he's ready and focused. The criticism has been widespread from fans to talk radio hosts to newspaper columnists. All claimed that Phoenix had acquired a oncegreat big man far past his prime, a 7-foot-1, 325-pound Goliath who would stifle the Suns' trademark uptempo game. And the Suns were taking on a contract that pays O'Neal $20 million each of the next two seasons. Nash was "shocked" by the trade. "If you look at what happened he last 24 hours it was incredible," "We feel like our players are giddy with the possibilities," D'Antoni said, "and he's ready and focused. It's up to the coaching staff to do the tweaks without changing everything, and I don't think we have to." Yet coach Mike D'Antoni and the Suns players said they were elated, that they believed O'Neal would be reinvigorated by the move and become a crucial component of their title run. he said. "You go through a whole bunch of emotions. It was very unexpected, but at the same time to get a chance to play with Shaquille O'Neal is pretty exciting." The Suns believe whatever ails O'Neal can be cured by their doctors and training staff. "It's a matter of flexibility in the joints and different things," Kerr said. "They're very progressive with their rehabilitation and they felt very strongly that he's going to be more mobile and explosive than what he has been." Nash is well aware of questions concerning O'Neal's health. "There's doubts and a risk to everything," Nash said. "I know that's going to be a favorite talking point for all the media, but for us the talking point is we've got an incredible, huge, talented, charismatic player in our locker room now. ... This sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun." O'Neal's ability to lift spirits is another plus for a Suns team that seemed joyless despite its success.

Kansas State has lost only once at home this season and that was last week to No. 6 Baylor, which also happens to be its only Big 12 loss of the year. In practice, coach Bonnie Henrickson has been kicking her guards off the court if they don't pass the ball to Boogaard, which paid off in the Cyclone victory. It's important to pound the ball down low early in the game and get Boogaard established because the Wildcats don't match-up well with the colossal Canadian. Will Kansas turn the ball over fewer than 20 times? QUESTION MARK The answer to this question determines whether or not the Jayhawks are still in the game with five minutes left. Against Iowa State, Kansas turned it over exactly 20 times but still came out victorious because Iowa State didn't capitalize on Kansas' mistakes. The Wildcats are a much more athletic team than the Cyclones and they will make the Jayhawks pay for every little mistake they make. A big key to keeping that number low for Kansas is the play of freshman guard Chakeitha Weldon. The Jayhawks need her energy off the bench but what they don't need are her frequent turnovers while running the offense. COUNTDOWN TO 10P.M.

Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center 8.9 ppg, 5.1 rpg Kansas State doesn't have anyone on its roster taller than 6-foot-2, and that's great news for Boogaard. She's been putting up great numbers against her opposing centers recently – including All-American Courtney Paris of Oklahoma – and there's no reason she can't go for 20 points and 10 rebounds on Saturday. The only thing that can stop Boogaard right now is Boogaard. Kansas State (15-6,7-1) ★★★★☆ Morris Sade Morris, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard 11.1 ppg, 4.1 rpq Shalee Lehning 5-foot-9 junior guard 10.4 ppg, 6.4 apg During the last two games, Morris was battling the flu as well as the opposing team, and it's hampered her playmaking ability. With a week between games she should have her health back and that's good news for Kansas. The Jahyhaws need every available player at full strength to try and take down the Wildcats. Although Oklahoma State guard Andrea Riley and Oklahoma center Courtney Paris garner all the headlines, Lehning may be the most complete player in the Big 12. Not only does Lehning lead the conference in assists, but she also hauls down more than seven rebounds a game and is fourth in the conference with 2.4 steals. Her presence helps make the Wildcats' offense one of the most efficient in the Big 12. ★★★★★ P Lehning ★★★☆★★ I am a graduate of the University of Chicago. I have been working as an editor for the magazine Newsweek for over 15 years. Kimberly Dietz 5-foot-9 senior guard Chakeitha Weldon, 5- Weldon Kimberly Dietz 5-foot-9 senior guard 15.2 ppg, 36% 3PT foot-7 freshman guard 2.6 pgd, 53 percent from the field -Taylor Bern Weldon appeared in only 10 games this season, but the impact she brings off of the bench is unmistakable. Weldon provided a spark from the point guard position that has been sorely missed in conference competition, and her playing time should increase because of it. ★★★★ Kansas State relies offense by committee; four players average more than 10 points per game. Dietz is one of the most productive outside shooters in the Big 12. She ranks in the top-five in both three-pointers made and three-point shooting percentage. Kansas will have to keep Dietz out of rhythm or she could explode like when she dropped 20 points and five three-pointers in a victory against Oklahoma earlier this year. Dietz ★★★☆ KANSAS 4 missed the fi injuring he five game back in t differen avera tear Danielle McCrav JETS Marlies Gipson 6-foot junior forward 12 ppg, 8 rpg How important is Gipson to Kansas State? When the forward missed the final 18 games of last season after injuring her knee, the Wildcats won only five games the rest of the way. With Gipson back in the fold, Kansas State is an entirely different team. The talented junior is averaging 2.2 blocks per contest while teaming with fellow McPherson High School teammate, sophomore forward Ashley Sweat, to form one of the best post tandems in the conference. P Gipson ★★★★☆ Andrew Wiebe KSU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Through eight Big 12 games, the Wildcats are showing what they can do at full strength. Victories over Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Nebraska speak volumes for the program coach Deb Patterson has built in 12 seasons in Manhattan. Although the rivalry was lopsided in the past, the Wildcats have won 12 of the last 13 meetings. The Jayhawks look to build on last year's victory in Lawrence. QUESTION MARK Can Kansas State hold sophomore guard Danielle McCray in check? Last season in Lawrence, McCray broke the Wildcat's 12-game winning streak in double-overtime by pouring in 25 points and snatching 10 rebounds. As a Kansas native, McCray understands the bragging rights on the line. Kansas State needs to keep her from replicating last season's performance to maintain dominance on their home court and keep pace in the race for the Big 12 championship. SPORTS Situations prove some athletes find it difficult to fulfill job of role model ASSOCIATED PRESS The truest thing any athlete ever said about being a role model was uttered by the worst role model ever. Keep that in mind when the "he said, he said" dispute between Roger Clemens and his former personal trainer unfolds in Congress next week. It might help you decide whom to believe. Mike Tyson's tailspin was just a twirl from hitting rock bottom in the middle of June 2002. He was standing in the ballroom of a Tunica, Miss., casino, shilling for the last big prizefight of his life, against Lennox Lewis three days later in nearby Memphis. Just about every penny of Tysons purse had already been pledged to the IRS or one of his ex-wives. But as a drawing card, he was still irresistible. A busload of school kids and radio-contest winners were on hand as a backdrop. They took turns yelling questions. "Mike, are you a role model?" Tyson didn't think long or hard. is public. "I could teach you what not to do," he said, smiling broadly. Few of us ever do so on a grand stage, however, because even fewer ever climb that high. Yet all too often, some of those who do forget an essential lesson. It used to be called a tragic flaw. Whatever out-sized desire got them there — ambition, arrogance, an insatiable appetite, the need for approval — is the same one that lands them in trouble. This week, we seemed to be a cluster. In Nevada, a high school senior staged an elaborate recruiting ruse because he wanted to play Division I football so badly he risked being exposed in front of millions rather than face the truth all alone. So could we all. In the Dominican Republic, a two-year-old video showed two already famous athletes foolishly lending some glamour to a cockfight. Mets "While he asked for the meeting, I wanted to make sure that when all the dust settles, that he fully understood that baseball players — whether they want to be or not — are role models and that children are looking at them." pitching star Pedro Martinez and former great Juan Marichal were seen on the YouTube video serving as "soltadores" — honorary cornermen — in their nation's biggest cockfighting venue. Then they watched two birds fight to the death for sheer entertainment. It's hardly sport, even if it's legal, and never a good idea for a photo-op. "We believe that this is significant corroboration," McNamee's lead lawyer, Earl Ward, said the day before his client dropped by Congress to give a sworn deposition. Then there's the ever-deepening Clemens saga. Just when it appeared the dispute couldn't get any more sordid, lawyers for Brian McNamee, his former trainer, let slip word that gauze pads and syringes they said had Clemens' blood was turned over to an IRS special agent last month. Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin laughed at that characterization Thursday, even as his client went door-to-door along those same halls, personally delivering the same message to a select group of lawmakers. "McNamee really did us a great favor yesterday because it truly revealed what he's out to do — and that's to destroy Roger," Hardin added. Exactly how Hardin built a lucrative law practice is beyond me, since he's apparently the same guy who called a news conference to defend Clemens and then played a secretly recorded phone conversation in which Clemens bullies a desperate McNamee over and over, but never gets him to change his story. In my mind, that's the second most-damning piece of evidence against Clemens, ranking just ahead of the Mitchell Report and just behind whatever evidence that McNamee, a former cop, saved from all those years ago and turned over to the feds last month. Hardin is probably right about this much: Whatever McNamee has probably won't rise to the level of before the TV cameras could have legal implications, the real venue will be the court of public opinion. After speaking to Clemens on Thursday, Maryland Democrat Elijah Cummings said that court might ultimately be the more important one, though, precisely because it Saturday, February KU Alumni Feature KU Gra Randy Chairr Genom The sys stuc to l But while the answers Clemens and McNamee give under oath and admissible evidence in a real court. There are chain-of-custody issues, McNamee's timing is suspicious and the fact he kept those items so long casts doubts on his motivation in the first place.

QUESTION MARK A BETTER BAND OF BEARS Kansas faces a determined, much improved Baylor - This is the beginning of a tough stretch for the Jayhawks. Games against Texas, Kansas State and Texas A&M are coming up. A victory here is almost a must. It won't be easy, though. Baylor is talented and well-coached. The Bears are sick of being the conference doormat and are letting everyone know it this year. Kansas might have a slight advantage inside, but Baylor's guards might be just as good as the Jayhawks. Will Kansas take Baylor seriously? will likely occur, Aldrich is going to get at least 10 minutes of playing time. He deserves it, too. Aldrich had arguably the best game of his short career Let's face it, Arthur is going to get in foul trouble, and if he doesn't, Sasha Kaun probably will.

The players know Baylor is tough this year, and Self said they'd learn even more about the Bears when they finished watching tape. Kansas is not going to underestimate Baylor. If Baylord wins, it's because the Bears are a good team. WHO TO WATCH "We've only got four more home games left. These guys only get to run out of the tunnel four more times, so the reality for the seniors is, 'Hey it's coming to an end.' There should be more of a sense of urgency." Aldrich "The season goes through many peaks and valleys and you have to take each peak and each valley and grow from it. And you can't get too down or too up based on one game even though it did sting. It stung our guys, and I think we've responded well to that. We're finished talking about that. That was talked about by me and the staff plenty 10 days ago." Coach Bill Self — Self on the K-State loss Kansas (22-1,7-1) THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 CHEMISTRY Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Robinson has to show that he has the mentality to break through the slump that he is going through of fessively and defensively. ★★★☆☆ Baylor (17-4,5-2) A. A. BABA Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard The defense is slipping slightly, but the offense continues to improve. Chalmers had six assists Monday night. THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 ★★★★ Aaron Bruce, 6-foot-3 senior guard TOMMY ROBINSON ★★★☆ It seems like Bruce, an Australia native, has been at Baylor for a decade. Bruce, who was Big 12 Freshman of the Year back 2005, is averaging 10.7 points per game this season. Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard Curtis Jerrells, 6-foot-1 junior guard At 6-foot-1, Jerrells can play both the point guard and shooting guard position. An honorable mention All-Big 12 selection last season, Jerrells is Baylor's leading scorer at 14.4 points per game. Rush is the only guard whose defense is improving. His job on Matt Lawrence Monday night was unbelievable. Lawrence attempted just six shots and missed all of them. ★★★★★ ★★★☆ M. KWANJI PETER A. SMITH F Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward Four Stars KANSAS 24 Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard The old Collins might finally be back. He was penetrating through the lane on nearly every possession Monday night. Look for him to cross someone up on Saturday. ★★★★☆ Jackson had a quiet game against Missouri Monday night. He usually follows games like that with big ones. He can't be stopped on offense when he's not on the bench because of fouls. Maybe a matchup with his high school teammate Kevin Rogers will increase his discipline and keep him out of foul trouble. Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Henry Dugat, 6-foot junior guard ★★★☆★ ★★★★ Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard In 25.8 minutes per game, Dugat is averaging 11.4 points per game. Russell Robinson said Dugat is the toughest Baylor guard to match-up with besides Curtis Jerrells. Mark Dent THE SIXTH MAN CORRECTED BY MUSIMI KUBELE Kevin Rogers, 6-foot-9 junior forward Rogers is a former Kansas recruit and a former high school teammate of Darrell Arthur. He's also Baylor's only scoring option in the frontcourt. ★★★★☆ Sasha Kaun P Josh Lomers, 7-foot sophomore center Lomers starts at center for Baylor, but he plays only 14.4 minutes per game. Baylor employs a four-guard offense when Lomer's is out. SCHNEIDER ★★★☆☆ THE SIXTH MAN BELGIUM 1978/05/23 ★★★★★ LaceDarius Dunn, 6-foot-4 freshman guard Dunn, a freshman from Monroe, La., is Baylor's third leading scorer - 11.9 points per game – and provides an outside shooting threat off the bench Rustin Dodd BU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE WHOTOWATCH To say that Baylor is a surprise this season overlooks the fact that Baylor is an extremely talented team. Bill Self said on Thursday that he appreciated the recruiting job that coach Scott Drew did at Baylor. Drew took over a Baylor program that was rocked by scandal. Former Baylor player Carlton Dotson was convicted of killing his teammate Patrick Dennehy in 2003, and the program was left in ruins. Almost five years later, Drew has Baylor at 17-4 and 5-2 in the big 12. With a bevy of talented guards, Kansas will play perhaps the best Baylor team in the last 50 years. Curtis Jerrells, 6-foot-1 junior guard Baylor has a collection of five strong guards, but Jerrell stands above the rest. The six-foot-one combo guard Jerrells 14 from Austin, Texas is playing 30.7 minutes per game and scoring 14.4 points per game. The southpaw's sweet shooting and moxie are two of the biggest reasons for Baylor's 5-2 Big 12 record this season. QUESTION MARK Can Kansas handle Kevin Rogers? Bill Self recruited Roger extremely hard when he was at South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas. Rogers chose Baylor, but a year later, Self nabbed his high school teammate Darrell Arthur. Arthur and Rogers will be matched-up on each other on Saturday night. If Arthur and his frontcourt mates Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun can slow Rogers, Baylor's guard will have to do all the scoring, and that might not be enough to beat Kansas at home. HEARYE.

Walton, former University of Kansas student, stood trial this week for the hit-and-run death of Kanost. Walton is being charged with involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol, a felony, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. If he is convicted for this crime, he will face a minimum of two and a half years in prison. Walton's lawyers Both witnesses who testified in Walton's defense said they noticed that Walton was driving too fast. Former student Jacob Starr said he saw Kanost get stuck by the vehicle, fly back and hit a post. He testified that Kanost, who was in the street north of the crosswalk, was never actually in the crosswalk. The prosecution said that blood stains in the crosswalk proved Kanost was there. "They tried to make me look like I didn't know what I was talking about because of where the blood was," Starr said after his testimony. "But it was an explosive accident." Starr said he was certain Kanost was not in the crosswalk, and he wrote it in his journal the next day.

If approved, alcohol will be sold at the hangout for the first time since 1998. The proposal would allow 3.2 percent beer to be sold in the laybowl and surrounding Hawk's Nest area from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Sales would be limited to two beers per person to help prevent intoxication. Jaybowl employees would scan IDs, then give a wristband and fluorescent hand stamp to people over the age of 21. Shawn Bowers was a student member of the committee that reviewed the proposal and is the director of public relations for Student Union Activities, which runs alcohol-free activities for students. He said he wasn't thrilled with the idea initially, but with the restrictions in place to prevent underage drinking, he now supported the proposal. The proposal said that anyone found drinking underage would be removed from the Kansas Union immediately. It also said that information about campus services such as SafeRide would be posted. "It's more about creating an environment where students and professors can come and relax." Bowers said. "It would be another option for a mature campus audience."

Bloom said that being of age and enjoying a beer when hanging out I'm not going to go to a bar with my sister," Bloom said. She said if the jaybowl sold beer, she would go there to hang out with her sister and her sorority sisters. Dustin Luthron, Olathe junior, said he didn't go to the Jaybowl often, but if they sold beer it would make the atmosphere of the alley better. "It would be a good attraction, but I wouldn't go just for the beer." Luthro said. Because the University would not have a liquor license, Jaybowl would sell 3.2 percent beer, which is a lower alcohol content than beer that can be bought in liquor stores in Kansas. Beer sales were removed in 1998 when a KU student killed student Lisa Rosel in a hit-and-run accident. Both were under the influence. Steve Munch, 2005 student body president, led the initiative to bring beer back to the Kansas Union. Marlesa Roney, vice Other Big 12 schools Four other Big 12 schools sell alcohol on their campuses.

LAWRENCE Three injured in shooting at Last Call this weekend Three people were left injured after a Sunday shooting a downtown Lawrence club. According to an Associated Press story, Lawrence police were investigating a shooting that occurred about 3 a.m. in front of the Last Call, 7th and New Hampshire streets. According to the AP, police said a man was thrown out of the club, went to a nearby parking lot and began firing shots into a crowd of people. The man left the scene in a small dark-colored vehicle that was driven by another person. According to the AP, people were fighting in front of the club when police arrived. Police did not release the conditions of the three victims, but two were club employees. According The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 5-foot-7, 140 to 150 pounds, and possibly wearing a black coat. to the AP, one of the victims, a 15-year-old male from Topeka, was shot in the foot. This is not the first incident at Last Call. In November 2007, several patrons were thrown out of the Last Call, and started a gunfight on Interstate 435 in Kansas City. One person was killed, and three others injured. Last Call had since opened on weekends as a bring-your-own-alcohol establishment. A similar event to one in November 2007, occurred in January on Kansas Highway 10. No one was hurt, but two arrests were made. Rustin Dodd ODD NEWS Presidents Day gets hairy this year in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA — It might be the strangest way to spend Presidents Day. For the first time, The Academy of Natural Sciences is displaying a scrapbook that has locks of hair from the first 12 U.S. presidents. It will on be view Feb. 16-18. the presidential "hair album" was assembled by Peter Arvell Browne, a Philadelphia attorney and scholar of the natural sciences who collected thousands of samples of animal fur and human hair in the 1840s and 1850s and organized them in a dozen leather bound volumes. Browne also wrote to presidents still living during his lifetime — 1762-1860—and to the families of those who had died. His letters and their responses are included in the book along with the strands of hair. His requests for hair weren't considered odd, as saving a loved one's locks in a family "hair album" was popular in the 19th century. and delicate contents, it will be displayed under glass and opened only to the page featuring George Washington's brown-and-gray locks. Photographs will be shown of the other presidents' hair, from John Adams to Zachary Taylor. Thomas Jefferson's hair was reddish with gray when he died and James Monroe had dark curls. in his first letter to Brown, Andrew Jackson's son apologized that he could not immediately send a lock from the seventh president, noting that his father recently had a "close cut" that would take a fortnight to grow out. Because of the scrapbook's age "There's something very human and touching about it," longtime academy curator Robert Peck said of the collection. "It gives you a sense of who they were as people." Browne also acquired hair samples from Napoleon Bonaparte, Daniel Webster, many Pennsylvania governors, signers of the Declaration of Independence and other political figures. Man enters guilty plea requests time in prison ADRIAN, Mich. — Ask and you shall receive in Lenawee County Circuit Court. A man who pleaded guilty to unarmed robbery faced no more than a year in the county jail but asked to be sent to prison instead to help his chances of rehabilitation. Michael Thomas Isaacson got what he wanted on Thursday when a judge sentenced him to 17 months to 15 years in state prison, with a recommendation for a psychological evaluation and counseling. Isaascon told Judge Timothy P. Pickard he believes programs available in state prisons will help him "get back on my feet," while a year in the county jail would leave his situation the same as when he was arrested. Isaacson was caught minutes after robbing a movie theater employee, who was carrying a bank deposit bag. Isaacson said he had no gun during the robbery. "He chose the cinema because he used to work at the cinema. He knows the victim. He perceived it as a low-risk crime," jameson said. Jameson said Isaacson does not understand why he committed the robbery.

There is also a list of tutors listed on the site. Tutors are listed for many concentrations, and pricing and contact information is available. The site also has Senate's budget posted, which shows how much money each student group that is funded by Senate receives. The $377.75 in fees students pay every semester is divided into categories and shows where each portion of money goes.

However, some voters still faced long lines and were unsatisfied with the Republican Part's preparation for the event. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee won the Kansas caucus with 60 percent of the state's support. Craig Campbell, chairman of the Douglas County Republican Party, said the party had planned on only Douglas County Republicans caucusing at South Junior High School, 2734 Louisiana St., until recently. It was after the location had been selected when Campbell was informed by Miami County's Republican Party it would not have a caucus, he said, which forced Miami County Republicans to caucus at the school as well. Campbell also said the Douglas County Republican Party did not expect Franklin County Republicans to show up to the caucus either, which is why voters had to caucus in shifts and the line to caucus looped through three hallways inside the school and the wait was more than an hour. Campbell said despite the long line, he thought the caucus was a success. He said he was happy with the number of people who showed up, but the real test would be in November. He also said he was not worried about irregularities in the caucus results, despite the fact that three counties caucasued at the location. Republican voters who changed their registration to vote in the Democratic caucus were allowed to vote in the Republican caucus. "Just from seeing the people, I would be very surprised that someone who was a Democrat would have got Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee stuff." Campbell said, referring to apparel such as t-shirts and buttons. "They would have to be pretty committed to do that." Andy Wollen, a Lenexa resident who spoke on behalf of candidate Voting Total Douglas County Totals: Huckabee 379 McCain 245 Paul 173 Romney 47 Keyes 7 Gluallani 4 Thompson 3 Uncommitted 5 Without stickers or without a vote 10 OVERALL Total: 873 McCain now has 719 delegates to Huckabee's 234 and Paul's 14. To receive the Republican nomination a candidate must win 1,191 delegates. John McCain at the caucus, said he thought voters who switched their registration to vote in the other party's election were silly, but that he thought it was a real problem. He said in Johnson County the Republican Party has had problems with Democrats trying to sabotage the Republicans by voting for the crazy candidate so that the Democratic Party can win in the general election. Jason Littlejohn, a Lawrence resident who spoke on behalf of candidate Ron Paul at the caucus, said he was also worried about election irregularities. He said the stickers that were given to voters to place on their ballots to distinguish their district were too common-looking. He said anyone could buy them from Home Depot. Campbell said they were actually from Wal-Mart. Voters were also concerned about the lack of foresight the party had put into planning the caucus. Matt Batzel, Susquehanna, Pa., law student, said if he had known he was going to have waited an hour to caucus, he would not have come. "I'd rather vote in a primary and get it over with, especially with children," Batzel said. "I'm used to filling out a ballot and leaving." His wife, Nikki, and his 16-month old son, Carson, accompanied Batzel. Batzel said he and his wife came to the caucus because they wanted their voices to be heard, even though they think McCain will win the nomination. McCain won the largest number of delegates across the nation, but he did not win in Douglas County's or Kansas'. Huckabee won 44 percent of the vote in Douglas County compared with McCain's 28 percent. In Kansas, Huckabee won 60 percent, compared with McCain's 24 percent, and was awarded all 36 of Kansas' delegates. Both candidates rallied in Wichita on Friday. Campbell said he thought fewer McCain supporters came to the caucus because they thought M.Cain was sure to win the nomination, especially after Mitt Romney's concession on Thursday. Not all voters were unhappy with the caucus. Hank Booth, Lawrence resident, said he had attended every Republican caucus in Douglas County since he had lived there and that he had not seen a caucus so contentious since Ford beat Reagan in 1976. Even then, not as many people came to the caucus. He said it was remarkable how many people, especially young people, came to both the Democratic and Republican caucuses. Wollensaid theKansas Republican Party decided to have a caucus in Kansas instead of a primary, because a primary would have cost the party $1.6 billion, whereas theDouglas County caucus only cost the local party about $225. Wollens said that in the past, the state legislature had budgeted money for the primaries, but this year it did not, because it did not think a Kansas primary would be influential enough. Wollen said that was why both parties had caucuses instead. JOIN THE RON PAUL REVOLUTION Ron Paul 2008 Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird Many U.S. Rep.

The Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center opens today after months of construction delays. The building replaces the old center behind the Military Science Building and is available for all University students. Building a new center was a goal of Steve Munch's, 2004-2005 student body president. His goal has translated into a new building next to the Kansas Union with vaulted ceilings, recycled materials and lots of natural light. "It's a new beginning for us," Núñez said. Santos Núñez, program director for the Multicultural Resource Center, said the new center gave center users the opportunity to expand their programming. It has an academic resource center, a resource library, a classroom, a workspace, a kitchen, a conference room and offices. Núñez said the center outgrew its old space on campus and had too much programming for the small building. The center provided meeting space for many different campus groups, speakers, workshops and a tutoring program. Núñez said the new building provides more space and is more accessible to everyone on campus. Jesus Castillo, Liberal senior and vice president of Latino-based fraternity Sigma Lambda Beta, said traffic at the old center was low. "It was meant as a place for students to hang out and it wasn't conducive to that" Castillo said. He said the new center would be easier to stop by when on campus. "I'll probably just go there to study instead of the library," Castillo said. Fri. theme, Wichita, junior and Eric Iheme, Wichita junior and vice president of black fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha, studied at the old center, which offered tutors, when he first came to college. Now he uses it for more. "It's a great place to catch up with friends," theme said. Studie Red Corn, Shawnee senior and president of the First Nations Student Association, said his group used the center to come together for luncheons and meetings. He said the location of the building and its new technology will make social functions easier. "Thenewenert will increase the enjoyment of coming together," Red Corn said. Grant Huang, St. Louis senior and vice president of the Asian American Student Union, said the old cen- had speakers at the old center. She said the visibility of the new center was great and students will see the various groups at the center. "The new center will increase the enjoyment of coming together." STUDIE RED CORN President of First Nations Student Association "I think we will have a lot more students who are not there specifically for our group." Copeland said. Dan Sabatini, 1986 graduate, said ter wasn't big enough for meetings. His group had to reserve different rooms in the Kansas Union for meet- ings. "We didn't have a space where we could go with all of our materials there," Huang said. Now the new center provides regular space for meetings and a place for conferences the group wants to sponsor. Betsy Copeland, Leonardville senior and president of Latina-based Sigma Lambda Gamma, said her sorority held chapter meetings and the family decision to fund the center was to give opportunities not only to minorities but to bring them exposure. everyone and treat everyone equally; Sabatini said. "It's a very important part of a healthy community to engage KANSANCLASSIFIEDS He said the new building would enrich students' experience at the University by providing a broader perspective. Núnez said she hoped students who had never thought about coming to the center before would come now. "We hope students are proud of this building." Núñez said.

Katie Henderson and Emily Sheldon NATION Guild members to vote on time to end writers strike LOS ANGELES — The Writers Guild of America moved swiftly Sunday toward a resolution of its three-month-old strike, with guild leaders deciding to recommend the contract to members and ask them to vote on By asking writers to vote separately on ending the strike and accepting the contract, the union cleared the way for the entertainment industry to return to work almost immediately. a quick end to the walkout. Membership meetings will be held Tuesday in New York and Los Angeles to allow writers to decide whether the strike should be brought to a speedy end, said Patric Verrone, president of the guild's West Coast branch. "This the best deal this guild has bargained for in 30 years,"Verrone said. The tentative contract secures writers a share of the burgeoning digital-media market, he said.

Thursday, Feb. 14, 2008 12:30 p.m.to 5 p.m. 5th floor Kansas Union www.ecc.ku.edu OPINION THE UNIVERSITY DARRY KANSAN 7A MONDAY FEBRUARY 11,2008 COMMENTARY Republican caucus promises tiger cages, scripture, free trade reform BRANDON T. MINSTER I attended this weekend's Republican caucus, where I chose between Sen. Tiger-Cage, Gov. Jesus and Dr. No-Trade. (The actual ballot said their names were Sen. McCain, Gov. Huckabee and Dr. Paul, but I think that was a typo.) There are lots of reasons to support a presidential candidate. Whether the candidate was a war hero is a pretty weak criterion. McCain's campaign is taking a page from the Rudy '9/11' Giuliani playbook, since it worked out so well for the former mayor. Any question for McCain is answered in terms of his war service. I fully expect the following exchange at the next debate. The first thing I heard when I walked into the assembly room was McCain's spokesman saying, "And I said, Senator, this must have been a tough week for you." He said to me, 'Son, being beaten and kept in a tiger cage, that's a tough week! This week is just something we'll work through.'" Moderator: Senator, the American people want to know why you were a member of the Keating Five. (Just in case you haven't heard Sen. McCain yell it at you lately, he's a war hero. He was kept in a tiger cage. Vote accordingly. Tiger cage.) McCain: I didn't know it was wrong to take bribes, since I spent so many years not seeing money in a tiger cage. I didn't know it was actually money, on account of the tiger cage. Moderator: And campaign finance reform? Doesn't your legislation violate the First Amendment? McCain: I guess I'm used to having speech restricted, since the Viet Cong didn't let me talk too freely in the tau cage. Moderator: Senator, any closing remarks? McCain: Yes. Firstly, I'm not Hillary Clinton. And secondly, tiger cage. Meanwhile, Gov. Huckabee will be on the other side of the stage, flushing through a Bible, looking for another scripture he can paraphrase in his next response. By the time the moderator asks him about carbon emissions, Huckabee will be ready with, "For Mike so loved the environment, he gave his only-begotten emissions. standard Max Rinkel MR » COMMENTARY "The only thing more hackneyed than some fresh-faced leader promising to change the world with a smile and a dream, is a college boy with political thoughts adding another layer of graffiti to some centuries-old institution with his pen." Two-party system provides America with two abusive husbands (or Hillary) to choose from Lacking enthusiasm after democratic caucus, one columnist develops own political philosophy ZACH WHITE I received a text message last Tuesday night from a friend of mine saying, "Holy crap, the democratic caucus turnout is insane!" And my first reaction on receiving this was to think, "Yeah, well that's what happens when one party consistently disappoints the nation for eight straight years. Of course the opposition is going to see a rise in interest." On reflection though, something terribly sad becomes appar ent. The voting American public is like some battered woman in a bigamous relationship with two equally abusive men. She'll go running to one to escape the pain and anger of the other. But in four or eight years, she'll get fed up with the answer to her troubles, pack her bags and retreat back into the promising embrace of the first man. And the two men are the same every time. One may be coked up, while the other is just drunk, but they are both, in the end, lying and thieving scoundrels who are willing to spend millions of dollars to make the public fall in love with them, whilingles some nice and filthy mud at the other. Now I don't want this to come across as an indictment of the two party system we've developed. Not that I support it, but I do have a problem with hackneyed things in general, and the only thing more hackneyed than some fresh-faced leader promising to change the world with a smile and a dream, is a college boy with political thoughts adding another layer of graffiti to some centuries-old institution with his pen. No, instead I am going to just sort of sit here and watch America get slapped around, because it's not like you can stop her. She loves him, both hims. She loves their multimillion dollar campaigns and how macho they get when around each other. But what really keeps her coming back again and again is the promises. Every politician has his or her collection of lines that make the voters go crazy. Everyone promises some drastic change that will invariably make the voters happier and prettier. Then in the next four or eight years, those promises are replaced by the former candidate not doing the things they said, and doing things they will never say, not even under oath apparently. In fact, the last time a politician did something he or she said he or she was going to, Larry Craig ended up getting arrested. But deep down beneath all the deceit, and violence these guys really love the voting public, too. Really. And to anyone else out there in this realm of abstaining and amused apathy, whose occupants are usually referred to as irresponsible, or slackers (though I prefer pragmatic) I say, "Do you prefer kettle corn? Or just plain butter and salt?" Because it may be a rough ride, but it should at least be entertaining. White is a Colorado Springs, Col., junior in journalism. As a devout Christian, I find Huckabee's entire campaign offensive. He's taken my Savior and turned Him into a talking point, something that is worth two additional percentage points in the backwoods every time it is mentioned. Ask Huckabee why he's still in the race and he'll answer with a scripture. that whosoever might live by a coal power plant might breathe forever. "By the time the moderator asks him about carbon emissions, Huckabee will be ready with, "For Mike so loved the environment, he gave his only-begotten emissions standard, that whosoever might live by a coal power plant might breathe forever." When asked why he produced an unfair attack ad against Mitt Romney and then had a press conference to make sure it was seen the week- end before the Iowa caucus, he answered with scripture. So the scriptures support unethical behavior now? That can be helpful in my bid to poison schoolchildren. (I've got it! "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man." Thanks for the tip, Mike!) Last is Dr. Ron Paul, a man who stands apart from the field by his complete ignorance of the last 80 years of economic history. At a time when about 90 percent of surveyed economics agree that free trade benefits both participants, Paul rails against NAFTA, 16 years too late. The Republican party is picking its candidate based on the assumption that the opponent is Hillary Clinton, but Barack Obama is winning more than he's losing. And no Republican has an answer for him. There's no real reason to wait until November to start saying, "Wait until 2012." As the dollar has weakened imports have become more expensive for Americans while our exports have become more affordable to the world. Why this is a good time to restrict trade is unclear. Minster is a Lawrence senior in Economics. 》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR Student achievements unimportant to paper Dear Editor. In this season of primaries, basketball and carjackings an unusual story surfaced: Two university students are World Champions. How would anybody know about this? Not through the UDK — it's neither sports, deferred maintenance nor politics. The story was "run" this past Wednesday when campus dumpsters composed the The University Daily Kansan readership (save a few bars and dorms). Here's a revolutionary idea: print the story when campus is actually open. According to The University Daily Kansan faculty advisor: "Out of the question!" Would The University Daily Kansan run it again? No. Could it be bought and given to the journal World to run? No. So here it is, a pathetic 200 word "letter to the editor" by a lowly faculty member struggling to get the word out that two students beat the world through their hard work. Will it rise above the endless pages describing decaying tunnels, primaries, missed and made shot on every court from here to Timbuktu? Would they run it as an ad? No. Nah... we all know where these things rate in the "news world." Maybe if we called it a "sport," paper would finally report that two students won a really really special NCAA Championship, Superbowl and World Series.

The athletes were honored during half of the time. New exhibit opens for former athletes BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com Former Jayhawk athletes walked through the new University of Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame exhibit wide-eyed and nostalgic at the hall's grand opening Saturday morning at the Booth Family Hall of Athletics. Many of the athletes and their families pulled out cell phones and digital cameras to take pictures of the exhibit. The new Hall of Fame features more than 300 laser-engraved photos of legendary Kansas athletes and teams. And this is no small exhibit — the pictures take up 800 square feet of wall space. Kansas Athletics Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame Opened: Saturday, Feb. 9 Located: Back wall of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics inside Allen Fieldhouse Hours: Monday - Saturday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Director Lew Perkins said the exhibit took about two years to complete. sketches of the famous athletes and teams. "I think this is a great tribute to all our former athletes," Perkins said. "We have such great tradition here and great Bill Hougland, member of Kansas' 1952 men's basketball team, said that he enjoyed the new exhibit and that it was one of the best in the country. "I was choked up. I was honored. I know how special it was then, and to have it happen now later in life makes it even more special!" athletes so we wanted to make sure we had a great hall of fame. To me, history and tradition is very, very important, and recognizing these former athletes is one of the most important things." TOM YERGOVICH Former Kansas medley relay team member The original Hall of Fame was in Allen Fieldhouse and featured "It gives a perspective of all the athletes we've had at the University who did so well and promoted the tradition that we have at the University," Houghland said.

Most of the names and faces on the wall spanned Falkenstein's 60 years behind the microphone for the jayhawks. The exhibit's grand opening coordinated with the induction of the 2008 Hall of Fame class, which included members of the 1952 men's basketball national championship and Olympic gold-medal team, world-record setting runners and other teams with memorable seasons. Overall, 33 individuals and 15 teams were inducted in a private ceremony held just before the grand opening of the hall of fame. Tom Yergovich, a member of the world record-setting distance medley relay team in 1967, said that the induction was very emotional for him and others. "I was choked up. I was honored." Yergovich said. "I know how special it was then, and to have it happen now later in life makes it even more special." The athletes were also honored during halftime of the men's basketball game against Baylor Saturday night. Edited by Matt Hirschfeld John Sullivan, Kansas City sophomore, said that he did not see the car hit Kanost, but the speed of the car drew his attention to the intersection. Kanost was in the crosswalk, Starr said, and that Walton was drunk and driving way too fast. Sullivan said, "and I thought a tire had popped." TRIAL (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Sullivan also testified that he did not see anyone in the crosswalk that night. The prosecution said that a bush could have blocked Sullivan's view that night. "I heard a popping sound." Donna Grammer, Starr's mother. said that she was just glad that it was over for her and her son. After each side presented final statements Friday, the jury deliberated for five hours. It will meet again today to continue examination of the evidence. "But that's the thing, it is not over for these people," Grammer said. "There is a family who lost their son, and a family who is trying to give their son a second chance. They are both just trying to do what is right." Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird The Prosecution Final arguments Douglas County District Attorney, Charles Branson, made the prosecution's closing arguments. Despite Walton's defense that he didn't know he had hit a person, Branson told the jury Walton did know. Branson said after the accident, Walton went back to Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., where he told his friends something happened and they needed to leave. Walton said he had hit something: a pole, a car, a person. Branson said to make that jump from car to person was absurd. Branson said that when Walton and his girlfriend woke up the next day, they checked the Lawrence Journal-World for a story about the accident. "Why? Branson asked the jury. "Car hits pole?" Car hits car? When was the last time that made the paper?" "Car kills KU student. Now that would be front page news." Branson reminded the jury of other points in the trial, such as how Walton's friends lied to the tow truck driver to get the car towed, and that Walton asked whether the mechanics would ask questions if he brought the car to Branson said they checked the paper because they had reason to believe Walton had hit a person. The prosecution detailed to the jury the drinks that Walton had that night in order to prove that Walton had consumed enough alcohol to be drunk. Since he left the scene, Lawrence police did not have evidence of how much alcohol was in Walton's blood at the time of the accident, beyond the conflicting testimonies of friends who were with him that night. get fixed. Branson said he wanted the jury to think about excuses, consequences and accountability. Branson told the jury that Walton made a choice not to listen to his friend when he told Walton not to drive. He said whether his intoxication was voluntary or not, his friends advised him not to drive. He said the hard consequence for Walton's decision to drive was Kanost's life, and that Walton was accountable for that life. "That choice took a life." Branson said to the jury. "Now you have a choice." He told them they had the choice to hold Walton accountable for involuntary manslaughter while under the influence of alcohol. He left them with a photo of Kanost's body on Kentucky Street the morning of Sept. 23, 2006. The Defense Tom Bath, Walton's attorney, reminded the jury that Walton admitted his guilt and turned himself in the day after the accident. Bath told the jury that despite advice from his friends, Walton talked to police without a lawyer. He said that while Walton was talking to police his sister called him to tell him to stop and get a lawyer. Bath said Walton refused his sister's pleas to be quiet and told her that he just wanted to sit and talk to the detectives. "It is only fair," Walton said, according to Bath's statement. Bath said that the events of Sept. 23, 2006 were a tragedy and that Kanost's family was going through more than Bath could imagine. Bath said demining Walton for more than he was guilty could not make up for that. "The verdict could never compensate the Kanost family," Bath said to the jury. Bath did not dispute that Walton had been drinking, but said that Walton could have been drugged that night. One witness testified that Walton had complained about a drink tasting funny and his friends testified that they had "never seen him act like that before." Bath quoted. "He left his girlfriend, left her at Quintin's when he knew she didn't have a ride. That is not normal behavior of a male college student," Bath said, "especially under the influence of alcohol." Bath said that when Walton got in the car he didn't even go home. He just rode around downtown Lawrence. "People that had known him since junior high school said they had never seen him act like that," Bath said. "That is not normal behavior distinctive to alcohol." Bath said this argument created reasonable doubt about alcohol being the reason he could not effectively operate the vehicle. Bath said Kanost's friends may have been mistaken about the placement of themselves in the crosswalk and distance of the car when they chose to enter the intersection. All three witnesses testified Thursday that the defendant's car was south of 14th street when they entered the intersection. By the time they had made it only halfway across, the witnesses said, the car had made it to the 13th street intersection. "He would have had to be going 120 miles per hour to cover that distance in the span of three steps." Bath said. He said the witnesses would have wanted to think it was as safe as possible, but the trauma of the situation and their own intoxication could have skewed their perspectives. Bath told the jury they are not deciding whether Walton killed Kanost, and that Walton admitted he did and was remorseful. What the jury was supposed to decide, Bath said, was whether Walton was guilty of the felony of involuntary manslaughter. Bath said Walton certainly drove in a negligent manner, but was only guilty of vehicular homicide, a misdemeanor. BY RUSS BYNUM ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Strong winds cause trouble for rescue PORT WENTWORTH, Ga. — Sugar that was still burning hampered the search Sunday for three other workers missing since the blast leveled portions of the plant. Crews used construction cranes to shore up three badly damaged, 80-foot storage silos that rescue workers want to search for the missing men. One of the silos blew up late Thursday, possibly after combustible dust ignited. Mounds of sugary sludge pouring out of the silos Sunday was solidifying, though, creating another obstacle to the recovery efforts. "It is very difficult to get into these spots," Howard said. [Image of a collapsed building with extensive structural damage]. Roy Howard, a Savannah firefighter, said his search team had to use power tools to tear down a refinery door that was glued shut with the sticky sludge. Strong wind coming off the Savannah River made conditions even more hazardous for crews trying to prevent the silos and plant buildings from collapsing. Savannah Fire Capt. Mike Stanley said. ASSOCIATED PRESS Officials previously said the fire was extinguished, authorities said Sunday that fires still burned in the silos. Helicopters were to be brought in Sunday to pour retardant on the flames, said Sgt. Mike Wilson of Savannah-Chatham County police. Imperial Sugar was one of the largest and oldest employers in this city of 5,000. The vast refinery was a network of warehouses, silos and buildings eight stories tall connected by corridors of sheet metal The burned and twisted super structure near the blast area at Imperial Sugar Company plant, Friday, in Port Wentworth, Ga. is now the site of a recovery for missing workers. Six people are uncounted for and more than 50 people were taken to hospitals, after an explosion that ripped apart the plant Saturday night. Seventeen workers remained hospitalized in critical condition with severe burns. Three others were released Sunday, said Beth Frits of the Joseph M. Burn Center in Augusta. Company officials have refused to speculate on when the plant might reopen, saying structural engineers needed to examine the damage.

ROSENBERG Rachel Anne Semvour/KANSAN Bill Evans watches the rehearsal of his choreographed dance in Robinson Center on Friday. His dance will be performed at the Lied Center on April 17 and 18. BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com "Some guy was tap dancing on the screen." Evans said. "It wasn't a conscious decision, but that's when I said, 'ah, people can dance,' tap dancing specifically." When Bill Evans was 13, he was teaching dance to students more than four times his age. At 22, he was performing professionally. Today, he is recognized as a pioneer in his field and one of the most talented tap dancers alive. None of it may have been possible without a trip to the movies when he was 3 years old, which opened his eyes to the possibilities of human movement. In the 64 years since witnessing tap dancing for the first time, Evans has become a legend is his field. In 2004, the Lehi, Utah, native was voted one of the top-three tap dancers in the United States by Dance Magazine. For the past week and a-half, Evans has been at the University passing his knowledge of tap and modern dance to students. Evans taught master's classes during the day and rehearsed with a select group chosen to perform with him at night. On April 17 and 18, he will return to perform at the Lied Center with the 14 students who worked with him from Feb. 1 to Feb. 10 as part of the Elizabeth Sherbon Centennial. "It's very meaningful to me personally to have opportunities to come back here because I care about this place," Evans said. "I've seen the dance program from its inception really. I'm always delighted to see how the program continues to grow." The performance in April will honor Elizabeth Sherbon, a University alumna and former member of University faculty with whom Evans worked with for decades. It isn't the first time Evans has worked with University students. Evans said his relationship with Kansas went back 40 years to 1968, when he choreographed the performance of a group of high school students that was performed at Hoch Auditorium. In the years since, Evans said he had developed relationships with University faculty and that he was always happy to have the opportunity to renew. Janet Hamburg, dance professor, has known Evans since 1976 and worked at the Bill Evans Summer Dance Institute for more than a decade. She said the opportunity to work with such a decorated and influential member of the dance community was a priceless experience for both students and faculty. "What he brings is decades of professional experience both as a teacher and professional performer," Hamburg said. "It has been so enriching and inspiring for our students to study with him. He is truly a master teacher who is internationally recognized." After discovering a love of teaching at 13, Evans said he relished the chance to work with students to encourage their growth as both dancers and individuals. "It's about affirming life for me, trying to improve, enhance and deepen ones awareness of life itself," Evans said. "It's a process during which people open themselves to growth and change. It's not just their dancing that changes. It's their way of thinking, sensing and feeling and understanding who they are." His pupils are just as grateful to receive his guidance. Nora Burt, Chicago sophomore and one of the 14 students who will perform in April, said having Evans at the University, even for a short period of time, had helped her change the way she thought about dance. Burt said Evans' teaching style had challenged students to think about how they felt as they danced rather than how they looked. "It allows us to sort of relax, breath into our movement and just sort of enjoy dancing rather than worrying about making the shapes that we sometimes do in our classes," she said. Although he will be 68 in April, Evans said he never felt as vibrant and alive as he did on stage. He said he had organized his life around dance and in return had found fulfillment from performing and teaching future dancers. "I feel fully alive," Evans said. "To me, the opportunity to perform is kind of a sacred experience, my spiritual practice. I believe that parts of myself - my thinking self, feeling self and intuitive self - are all fully alive when I'm performing." In April, Evans and 14 students will show the Lied Center audience what it means to be truly alive. —Edited by Matt Hirschfeld STATE Study reports on same-sex relationships BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com A study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law released in January shows same-sex couples in Kansas increased by almost 68 percent -3,973 to 6,663 - from 2000 to 2005. Researchers used statistics collected in the U.S. Census to show the distribution of same-sex couples throughout the state as well as the difference in income between themselves and their traditional counterparts. Adam Romero, public policy fellow at the Institute, said the study was intended to provide accurate information about same-sex relationships in order to encourage discussion and debate about sexual orientation and gay rights. The Institute has conducted similar research in every state. Romero said the fact that there was at least one same-sex couple reported in every county showed how widespread same-sex relationships are. More disconcerting is the wide gap between the income of same-sex couples and those in heterosexual relationships. Although a higher percent of individuals in same-sex couples are employed, they earn substantially less than married individuals. "Ultimately, what I think this shows is that people in same-sex couples, and gay and lesbian people more generally, could stand to benefit from protections from employment discriminations or some type of relationship recognition," Romero said. For those involved in the gay and lesbian community, the study's findings are no surprise. Maggie Childs, chair of the local chapter of the Kansas Equality Coalition and sponsor of the University's Queens and Allies, said the rapid increase in people reporting being in a same-sex relationship probably had more to do with their comfort in admitting their lifestyle rather than the emergence of new couples. Ryan Campbell, Queer and Allies president, said he was surprised at how much progress had been made during the Bush administration. He said the rise in couples reporting is a direct result of the gay rights movement and the increased acceptance and visibility of nontraditional lifestyles. "Like the community always says 'we are everywhere,' Childs said. "A lot of people don't realize it because we can blend in. A lot of people in rural areas feel safer if they blend in so they stay in the closet. It shows that there are people who feel safe enough to tell that they are there on the census." son who is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual," Campbell said. "The more people there are that are comfortable around the community, the more people are willing to accept the fact that they can be in a relationship of some kind." "it's kind of getting to the point where everyone knows another per- Despite the presence of couples throughout the state, the overwhelming majority of couples are concentrated in cities and urban areas. Sedgwick County and Johnson County have the highest number of same-sex couples. Douglas County has the fifth highest total with 239 same-sex couples reported. Childs said the concentration was due to the fact that there is more anonymity and diversity in urban areas. "Lawrence has been forever known as a liberal enclave so people looking for a more open environment come here," she said. "The city prides itself on that, and it's a magnet for people who are living out of the ordinary lives." Despite the increase in couples reporting their status, Romero and Childs both said they felt the community was still being underrepresented. Each said progress must continue to be made in the battle for equality. She said it wasn't surprising that Lawrence had a particularly high concentration of same-sex couples. In 2000, there were 3,973 same-sex couples living in Kansas. State Statistics In 2005, that number increased to 6,663 same-sex couples out of a total of 72,557 gay, lesbian and bisexual people. In 2005, 52 percent of same-sex couples were female while 48 percent were male. Same-sex couples constitute 0.7 percent of coupled households and 0.4 percent of all households. Edited by Katherine Loeck Those in same-sex couples are, on average, 39 years old while married couples are 48 years old. In 2005, an estimated 1,797 children were living in households headed by same-sex couples.

Saturday's blast devastated a hall where about 200 people had gathered for a rally in the town of Charsadda, located in the turbulent North West Frontier province, where Islamic extremists have been battling government forces. The rally was organized by the Awami National Party — a secular group that competes against No group claimed responsibility but suspicion fell on Islamic extremists linked to the Taliban and al-Qaida. Police recovered what they believe was the head of the bomber and planned DNA tests to try to establish his identity. Islamist parties for support among the ethnic Pashtun community. Mohammed Adeel, secretary general of the party, said 27 people died and 50 were wounded. Eighteen of the wounded were in serious condition, he said. The suicide attack underscored the deep tensions in Pakistan as the nation heads toward the Feb. 18 elections, which are meant to restore democracy after eight years of military rule. But campaigning has been overshadowed by the Dec. 27 assassination of opposition Concern is mounting in both Pakistan and the United States about the rise in violence in the volatile border area, where American officials believe that al-Qaida and the Afghan Taliban are regrouping after being driven out of Afghanistan. leader Benazir Bhutto, which U.S. and Pakistani officials blame on Islamic militants. The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen told reporters in Islamabad that the recent increase in suicide attacks shows that "certainly tie threat is going up." About 100,000 people gathered Saturday in a sports stadium in the southern city of Thatta as Bhutto's Pakistan People's party resumed its campaigning In an emotional speech, Bhutto's husband, Asif Ali Zardari, asked the crowd to "give me strength so that we can serve the country." He vowed to carry on his slain wife's mission. — suspended for the traditional 40 days of mourning after her death. "This is our country and we have to save it." Zardari said. Zardari claimed his wife had been murdered by an establishment that she wanted to change. "That is why they were against us," Zardari said. "If they try to stop me, I will destroy them and I hope you people will support me." SCIENCE Associated Press Alumnus discusses genes BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com That's what Randy Scott, University of Kansas alumnus and bioscience entrepreneur, encouraged students to do Saturday when he visited the University. Imagine a world where doctors base health care on the affordable mapping of each person's 20,000 genes. Scott is the co-founder and CEO of Genomic Health Inc., a company that provides health care advice based on the analysis of genomes. The company uses diagnostic technologies to help assign the most successful treatments. This type of medicine, which shapes a patient's treatment according to their genes, provides vast opportunities for entrepreneurship in biology and health care, Scott said. Scott said the technology that analyzes an individual's genetic makeup, called genomic technology, has ushered in a new era of personalized medicine. "The moment when we first sequenced the human genome was a turning point in human history," Scott said. Medicine based on an individual's genes helps cancer patients get the right treatment, Scott said. Medical professionals can assess the likelihood of a cancer recurring and which treatment, chemotherapy or drugs, would be best. It's an aspect of medicine, he said, with which the health care system has struggled. "The pharmaceutical industry has lost its way," Scott said. "It's He said most drugs prescribed today are effective in less than 60 percent of the patients who take them. The success rate for cancer drugs is only 25 percent, he said. too focused on Wall Street, not the customer" Initiative to help the customer has led some students to consider following in Scott's entrepreneurial footsteps. Other areas that also have big potential for entrepreneurship are in the computer industry, mathematics, green technology and alternative fuels, Scott said. Entrepreneurship has received greater emphasis at the University in recent years, Kevin Boatright, director of research communications, said. Matt Leming, graduate student in molecular biosciences, said he would rather work on genomic technology in industry than in a lab. "Industry focuses on the patients themselves," Leming said. "There are more opportunities for making a difference." Discoveries related to drug delivery and radio-frequency identification, the method used in security tags on clothing, are among new technologies and technology licenses at the University, Boatright said. "I would like to eventually have my own company," she said. "Biotechnology is exciting and I want to help make genome sequencing affordable for everybody." Nandini Mehta, Bombay, India senior, said she was also interested in the business side of biotechnology. But ultimately, he said, entrepreneurship hinges on people doing work for which they have real enthusiasm. "For successful entrepreneurs it's not about the money," he said. "It's about the passion for what you want to do and what you want to accomplish." — Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird 》 LAWRENCE Hilary Brown, owner of Local Burger, 714 Vermont St., holds up Bon Appetit magazine, which recently recognized Local Burger in its "Hot 10 Eco-friendly Restaurants" for its use of local food. The restaurant serves locally grown organic produce and locally raised meat. food appetit Alex Bonham-Carter/KANSAN Local Burger in top ten Hilary Brown, who founded Local Burger, 714 Vermont St., three years ago, said the restaurant's focus on sustainable agriculture and its commitment to sourcing its food locally were what attracted attention from the national magazine. BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com Unlike most restaurants that import their food from farms all over the country. Local Burger receives all of its meat from farms near Lawrence, which cuts down on the distance the food has to travel. Bon Appetit Magazine featured Lawrence's Local Burger this month as its number 10 most eco-friendly restaurant in the nation. "When it's sourced locally, you're cutting down on the fossil fuels trucks have to burn in order to travel that far," Brown said. Local Burger only imports from farms that use sustainable and humane practices. The farms raise their animals according to their natural, intended diets and don't use chemicals, hormones or anti-biotics. When animals are raised on unnatural diets, they are less nutritious because they have less vitamins, Omega 3, CLA and fatty acids. Brown said "There are no chemicals and additives in the food we serve and anyone can find any ingredient we use here," Brown said. The restaurant also recycles everything its staff uses in the kitchen and composts all of its organic waste. Bon Appetit isn't the first magazine to recognize the restaurant's commitment toward sustainable agriculture and eco-friendly practices. The young restaurant has also been featured in Gourmet, Relevant Times, My Midwest, Kansas Alumni and Outside Magazine. It was also featured in an episode of Big Ideas for a Small Planet on the Sundance Movie Channel. Kelly Kearns, Kansas City, Kan. junior, who works at Local Burger, said the eco-friendly concept was what attracted her to the job. "I really liked what they were about, and I agreed with what they were trying to accomplish." Kearns said. The two owners of Local Burger plan on opening a second restaurant in the next year. Brown said she wants it to be more energy efficient and sustainable. A couple of ideas she mentioned were more eco-friendly to-go containers and a more efficient water heating system. Karen Black, co-owner of Local Burger, said she expected the new restaurant to go up in the Kansas City area.

And not many games since have better illustrated the difference it can make than Kansas' 100-90 victory against Baylor Saturday. BY CASE KEEFER CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM Play this game 28 years ago and Kansas would have put Baylor away from the beginning and cruised to an easy 100-78 victory. To Kansas, Baylor was the gum on the shoe, the bothersome fruit-fly or the persistent street-side beggar; it just wouldn't go away. It stemmed from the Bears' efficiency from the outside. "That's unbelievable," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "That's not going to happen very often." The Bears made 12 three-pointers, accounting for 40% of their total points. The Jayhawks didn't hit a single shot beyond the arc. Baylor junior guard Curtis Jerrells gave Kansas a sneak-peak of what was to come early in the game when he hit three three-pointers in less than four minutes. Jerrells, who scored 30 points overall and was 4-for-8 from three-point range, made his 1,000th career point in the game. If he shoots as well from long-range as he did Saturday, he might score 2,000 more in the next year and a half. Jerrells' teammate, freshman LaceDarius Dunn, however, was the one making circus-like shots. Dunn connected on a deep three in the second half to tie the game despite being fouled by Kansas junior guard Brandon Rush. With little time remaining, he threw up a what-the-heck deep shot from well behind the line falling over that found the hoop and kept Baylor alive. He finished 5-for-10 from three with a handful of ridiculous baskets. It looked like Dunn could have hit shots blindfolded or with a hand tied behind his back. Kansas broke a streak of 270 straight games with at least one three pointer Saturday. It needs to start a new streak tonight. Conventional or not, the shots kept Baylor in the game. Every time Kansas seemed to take control by piecing together a run, it blew away like a tissue in the wind with another three falling for the Bears. The mere 10-point victory undermines what Self called the best offensive performance of the year for the Jayhawks. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins scored 17 points, the most he had in more than a month, by ferociously attacking the basket. Kansas amazingly only committed one turnover in the second half. But an 0-for-9 performance from three-point range kept the Jayhawks from running away from the Bears. "The game just was going so fast," Collins said. "We didn't really realize we didn't hit a three at all." It's all fun and games for Kansas because it hit the century-mark in points the old-fashioned way: getting close to the basket and finishing. But its drought on three-point shots will be anything but funny if it finds its way to Austin, Texas tonight. Longhorn guards D.J. Augustin and A.J. Abrams won't let Collins blow past them. Texas forward Damion James won't sit idly by and watch Kansas for Darrell Arthur score 23 points as he did Saturday. Rush can't be 0-for-4 from three if the Jayhawks expect to beat the Longhorns.

He's tired from practice and can't wait to play online. In another dorm room, 700 miles away in Austin, Texas, his online opponent is recovering from practice, too, and eager to play some soccer. He's Alexis Wangmene, Buford's adopted brother. He doesn't seem like he's adopted though. They're brothers. After Buford's parents adopted Wangmee (pronounced wahn-MEN-ee) from Africa, Buford, a freshman walk-on, used basketball to ease Wangmee's homesickness as he struggled to learn English. Later, Buford gave him a love for preppy clothes and Rascal Flatts. Wangmee, who plays for Texas, taught Buford that he could become close to anyone, no matter where they're from. SEE BROTHERS ON PAGE 7B TEXAS 15 BASKETBALL Photo courtesy of the University of Texas Collins to continue performance BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com The old Sherron Collins tantalized opponents when he stood at the top of the key, dribbling the ball slowly between his legs with eyes gazing forward to the hoop. His defenders knew a speed burst was coming. Collins could go left, or he could go right. Either way, his move would be fast, and the play would likely end with him beating his man to the rim. That was the old Collins. The one who darted through holes and gaps like a Plinko chip. He hadn't been around since a November knee injury. Finally, he was back at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday night, sparking Kansas in the second half of a 100-90 victory against Bavlor. "Shady was terrific," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Russell was solid and played great, but Sherron the spark. In the second half he changed the pace of the game." The comback was supposed to be complete a month ago. Back then, Self announced that the old Collins was back. He had just scored 18 points against Loyola Maryland, his best game since returning in December from the injury. It wasn't the points that caught Self's attention, it was Collins' quadriceps muscles. He said Collins' quads were finally firing, meaning they were getting stronger and giving Collins some of his speed back. Collins' productivity didn't last. He made just 10 of 30 field goals during the next four games, never reaching double-figure scoring and never getting more than three assists in a game. Even on good nights, something wasn't right. Collins couldn't slice through the lane like he had as a freshman and earlier this season. It's not that he wasn't trying. His body just ached from the injuries. "Sometimes your mind is telling you that you can still do it," Collins said, "but your body won't let you. Sometimes I just forced things and played conservative. I was still tonight's game Kansas at Texas The skinny: The Jayhawks try to beat DJ.J. Augustin and the Longhorns and win for the first time in Austin since 2002. confident. I just knew sometimes I couldn't make those plays." He could finally make them on Saturday night. On one play in the middle of the second half, Collins grabbed a rebound and sprinted down the court for a layup. It took just three seconds. He found Brandon Rush in transition before scoring on another contested layup on the next play. It was a 6-0 Kansas run and gave the layhawks a 67-56 lead. "We needed a spark," he said. "It was just dead. Nobody was speaking up. We just needed a spark, and I just tried to come in and provide that." Collins finished with 17 points and four assists and said his health was at 95 percent. He made a difference in the second half, but he wasn't the only one. Senior guard Russell Robinson and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur both had arguably their best games of the year. Robinson had a season-high 22 points, and Arthur finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds. They combined to make 21 of 24 free throws, and the team hit 36 of 46 from the charity stripe for the game. All the foul shots were necessary, too. Kansas didn't make a single three-pointer, going zero for nine from long range. It was the first time that happened in 270 games, a streak that dated back to February 2000. Control of the ball, highlighted by only one second half turnover, and the marksmanship from the foul line still allowed the Jayhawks to score 100 points.

Kansas has weak start, loses to rival K-State BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com "Our kids battled and showed some toughness to make it a game," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We just didn't make enough plays on the offensive end and the defensive end to get out of here with a 'W'" Records rarely matter in a rivalry game, and that sentiment held true Saturday afternoon as Kansas (13-9, 2-7) gave No. 18 Kansas State (16-6, 8-1) everything it could handle before finally bowing out, 64-58. Kansas got off to a disastrous start — six turnovers in the first five minutes — before settling into its game. She made three straight treys and finished the half 4-of-5, which included a last-second heave from the top of the key to put Kansas State up 30-24 at halftime. "We tried to force some things early, picked up our dribble and just didn't play with much rhythm," Henrickson added. The Wildcats also struggled to get points early, until senior guard Kimberly Dietz started firing up three-pointers. Still, Henrickson was pleased with the way her team overcame the early turnovers and the production from her bench. Senior forward Jamie Boyd, who played just more than 27 minutes this season, drove the lane and made a short jumper just before Dietz answered with her buzzer-beater. "Kids off the bench were great," Henrickson said. "Jamie Boyd's poise and composure to knock that thing down in the middle of the lane, that's big. It's only one play but it ended up being a one or two possession game there at the end." Dietz made a layup to start the second half, but she missed all nine of her remaining shots. To compensate, junior forward Marlies Gipson took her game to another level, recording 14 points and 11 rebounds in the second half despite giving up five inches to her Kansas counterpart, freshman Krysten Booqard. 1 "She's very quick, and she has a good vertical which was a little difficult." Boogaard said of Gipson. "She made some good plays, and I couldn't really keep her off the glass tonight."

Augustin PGA Tournament brings long-awaited victory PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., — Steve Lowery had gone more than seven years and 199 tournaments without winning, a drought that would have continued Sunday at Pebble Beach if not for a stunning collapse by Vijay Singh. Three shots behind when he stood on the 15th tee, Lowery made up quick ground when Singh made three straight bogeys, then won on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff with a 7-foot birdie. At 47, he became the oldest winner in the 71-year history of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Lowery closed with a 4 under 68 and won for the third time in his career, all of them in playoffs. Singh recovered from his three bogeys with a wedge that stopped 2 feet away for birdie on the final hole for a 71 to force the playoff. Both players finished at 10-under 278. But the Fijian's troubles only got worse playing the famous 18th hole at Pebble Beach a second time. His drive found a bunker to the right, and his second shot clipped the top of the bunker, leaving him 192 yards short of the green. A 4-iron for his third shot plugged into the side of another bunker, and he did well to blast out to 8 feet and make par. Lowery's birdie putt was good all the way, an amazing victory for a variety of reasons, least of all Singh's collapse.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2008 SPORTS 3B 》 TENNIS Junior leads victory against St. Louis BY ALEX DUFEK adufek@kansan.com After suffering a hard-fought, 5-2, loss to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the Kansas women's tennis team made winning look oh-easy with a sweep of the University of St. Louis Billikens, 7-0, yesterday at First Serve in Lawrence. If at first you don't succeed + try, try, try again. Junior Edina Horvatl led the Jayhawk attack, winning both her singles and doubles matches on the day. "I was really proud with the girls, the way they came back and they just competed," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN "I feel awesome being on court," Horvath said.

Horvath, who was perfect against Arkansas and Tulsa one weekend ago, was undefeated in her last eight matches. Hall-Holt agreed with Horvath's self-analysis and echoed the idea that Horvath is playing the best tennis of her college career. "Her intensity level has increased, her motivation to keep doing well for the team," Hall-Holt said. "Everybody wants to step out there and fight for the team and Edina's been a trooper.

The only other jayhawk victory versus Illinois was a 9-7 triumph by senior Lauren Hommell and freshman Magdalena Tokarczyk against the Fighting Illini's Joe Becker and Tara Grant. The sweep of St. Louis, which included wins in all six singles matches and all three doubles, lifted the Jayhawks dual match record to 1-3 on the season. "It just works with Liza," Horvath said. "We communicate really good on the court, and actually I think it helps that we are really good friends outside from the court." "Every match, every win helps, and that's what we base our practices on is being competitive with each other," Hall-Holt said. "Because it's just going to keep bettering not only you, but your teammates as well."

The Jayhawks named Joe Bob Clements as the defensive line coach last Friday, replacing defense coordinator Bill Young, who left for the same position at Miami. Clements worked most recently as the defensive line coach at San Diego State for two seasons after serving as a graduate assistant, recruiting coordinator and defensive ends coach at Kansas State for seven years.

Asher Fusco ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB Pitcher's trainer submits evidence 100% Pitcher Roger Clemens has been accused of using steroids. It is believed that a criminal investigation will take place. BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — One of Brian McNamee's lawyers said Sunday he believed the justice Department will open a criminal investigation into Roger Clemens' denials of doping. Meantime, the chairman of a congressional committee said comments attributed to one of the pitcher's lawyers could be interpreted as trying to intimidate a federal law enforcement official. Clemens gave a five-hour deposition last week to staff lawyers of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform prior to Wednesday's public hearing. McNamee, former personal trainer to the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, gave a seven-hour deposition. "I think there will be a criminal prosecution after Wednesday, and that means there will be grand jury proceedings and subsequent proceedings," said Richard Emery, one of McNamee's ator- neys. "I don't see there's any possibility that Brian has any jeopardy. I only see the possibility of Clemens getting investigated by Justice, whether or not Congress refers it." A message left Sunday night requesting Justice Department comment was not immediately returned. Told of Emery's comments, Rusty Hardin, Clemens' lead lawyer, said: "They have consistently acted and indicated that they have a pipeline to agents of the Department of Justice. Whether they do or not, it certainly raises a lot of questions of whether what's going on here is proper. So I'm not going to express any predictions of what will or will not happen." McNamee says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone at least 16 times in 1998, 2000 and 2001, accusations Clemens has repeatedly denied. Both are set to testify Wednesday on Capitol Hill in what figures to be a day of high drama. Join a company where you’ll have the flexibility to reach your goals.

KANSAS 32 They needed that good of a performance to better Curtis Jerrells, Henry Dugat and the rest of Baylor's high-powered offense. Robinson said they were the best group of guards he'd played all season. His opinion could change tonight. Kansas faces Texas, and its back-court would be formidable for several NBA teams. The headliner is DJ, Augustin. He's fast and can drive, shoot and pass. With his 19.7 points and 5.8 assists per game, he's a national player of the year candidate and has made the Longhorns one of the nation's top teams this season, even without prodigy Kevin Durant, who's playing for pay for the Seattle Supersonics. "That might be the best one individual player I'll go against all year," Robinson said of Augustin. "It's going to be a challenge, and I'm up for challenges. We just have to make sure he doesn't take control of the game." To win, the Jayhawks will have to contain Augustin. They just took care of an all-star cast of guards against Baylor, and if Collins' play from Saturday continues in Austin and throughout the season, their backcourt will be tougher than ever. "I don't want to say that's what we've been missing." Self said about Collins, "but from a health standpoint, he looked faster tonight than he's looked all year." It doesn't help Kansas that tonight's game is in Austin. The city that's generally beloved by college students has been a nightmare for the Jayhawks since the formation of the Big 12. Kansas is 2-3 at Texas and has lost those three games by an average margin of by 18 points a game. game notes Full scoreboard One hundred-point games have been a rarity for the Jayhawks under Bill Self. Kansas scored 100 for just the fourth time since the start of the 2005 season. The Jayhawks scored 107 against Louisiana Monroe earlier this season. Not the first time Kansas has scored 100 points without making a three-pointer two other times in school history. The Jayhawks did it in 1992 against Howard in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, winning 100-67, and against Rider in December of 1987. They won 110-70 and didn't even attempt a shot from long range. Dexton Fields, KU wide receiver, sat behind the Baylor bench for Saturday's game. He went to the same high school, South Oak Cliff in Dallas, as Darrell Arthur and the Bears' Kevin Rogers. Fields, a junior, graduated the same year as Rogers. The wrong bench? Senior forward Darnell Jackson throws a two-handed slam down causing the net and the crowd at Allen Fieldhouse to erupt during Saturday night's basketball game against Baylor.

Surprisingly, it wasn't sophomore forward Darrell Arthur. "He felt a lot like me probably" Arthur said. Junior forward Darnell Jackson - not Arthur - picked up his third foul in the first half with Kansas leading 27-23. The sophomore forward would know. He's seemingly spent the last three weeks in perpetual foul trouble. With Jackson playing limited minutes, the foul-prone Arthur avoided the referee's whistle in the first half, and led the Jayhawks with 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting. The key statistic for Arthur: he played 33 minutes, the most he's played since playing 34 minutes against Arizona Nov. 25. "If I stay out of foul trouble I think I can play consistently. I just got to stop getting early fouls," Arthur said. TH It was a game suited for guards, fast paced with possessions aplenty.

Arthur was matched up against former South Oak Cliff High School teammate Kevin Rogers, and against a school that he almost chose to go to. chose to attend Kansas over Baylor, the "what if" questions are still brought up. "We always played together," Arthur said of Rogers. "We've been playing together for about three or four years and it just felt weird playing against him. But it was fun." Nearly two years after Arthur "I don't even really think about that," Arthur said. "If I stay out of foul trouble I think I can play consistently. I just got to stop getting early fouls." Self doesn't either. "In recruiting people make a big deal of 'Well he came down to this or that.' That to me is irrelevant," Self said. "Guys don't go around talking DARRELL ARTHUR Sophomore forward about, 'Oh well, what if we had him." It was Arthur's ability to avoid fouls and pile up minutes - not his choice of schools - that made the difference Saturday. Arthur hasn't been able to stay out of foul trouble and his playing time has suffered. He played only 20.3 minutes per game in Kansas' last four games including a season-low 14 minutes against Missouri Monday. The 6-foot-9, sophomore didn't pick up his first foul until the opening minutes of the second half. "Sometimes you go out there and play with too much energy, and bad things happen," Arthur said. —Edited by Sasha Roe BAYLOR 15 KANSAS 32 ROSS 25 Jessie Fetterling/KANSAN Brandon Rush, junior guard, fights for the ball Saturday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

Texas, maybe other than Kansas State, is the best team the Jayhawks have played this year. The Longhorns have already beat Tennessee and UCLA, a team that owned Kansas last season in the Elite Eight.

Collins be a Sherron Collins No one made as big of a difference Saturday night as the Kansas faces a difficult task in containing sophomore guard difference-maker in every game if he plays up to his potential. In a game that will feature several good guards, Collins could stand out. Sherron Collins WHO TO WATCH QUESTION MARK TEXAS LOOKS TO DERAIL HAWKS Can KU win the Big 12 if it loses tonight? Yes, although a loss would certainly make it tougher. Kansas is on top of the conference right now with an 8-1 record. Kansas State is just behind at 7-1 and Texas is in third with a 6-2 record. The Jayhawks would be a half game ahead of the Longhorns if they lost and a game behind the Wildcats. That's still good positioning for a championship, given the rest of Kansas' schedule. The Jayhawks would have hard games against Texas A&M and Kansas State remaining, and they could likely win the conference if they won those two. Collins HEARYE. HEARYE KANSAS VS.

Arthur was almost unstoppable on Saturday night because he stayed out of foul trouble. He played more minutes than he had in more than a month and finally produced how Self thought he would at the beginning of the year. Texas' frontcourt is undersized so Arthur should have an easy time scoring. If he and Darnell Jackson have big games Kansas will find it a lot easier to win.

Jerrells had the best performance of any individual player against Kansas so far this season. Augustin might out-do him.

They did it twice last year before cooling down in the second half and losing, but they crushed Kansas in Austin two years ago. Augustin, A. J. Abrams and Justin Mason will all likely bring out their best. UT TIPOFF AT A GLANCE The Longhorns have had the Jayhawks' number at the Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. No. 10 Texas beat No. 20 Kansas 82-67 in 2004, and the seventhranked Longhorns thumped the Jayhawks 80-55 in 2006. Coach Rick Barnes 's teams squa is, of course, devoid of Kevin Durant, the 2007 Consensus National Player of the Year who is gone to the NBA. But sophomore D.J. Augustin and junior AJ. Abrams anchor a strong backcourt. The Longhorns beat UCLA at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles and defeated Tennessee. Texas is 11-2 at home in ESPN Big Monday games. WHOTOWATCH D.J. Augustin The coaches' selection for Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year, Augustin is averaging 19.7 points and 5.8 assists per game. Augustin is a projected NBA first- round pick whenever he declares for the draft. He's the rare scoring point guard who Oceanside Augustin can also get his teammates involved. If Kansas senior guard Russell Robinson can slow him down, Kansas may be able to escape Austin with the victory. Will this game end up on ESPN Classic? QUESTION MARK Something special always seems to brew when the Kansas meets the big boys from the Lone Star State. Remember Kansas' 110-103 overtime victory against Texas in 2002, or Dick Vitale's standing ovation after Nick Collison's classic performance at Allen Fieldhouse in 2003? Last season, Kevin Durant played two breathtaking games, but Kansas came out on top. HEARYE. HEARYE "These are great. You don't have to practice.

"They look out for each other and really love each other." FINDING ALEXIS Before R.C. and Beth Buford left their San Antonio home for Johannesburg, South Africa, in summer 2004, they gathered their son, Buford, and daughter, C.C., to tell them important news. They were considering adopting one of the boys who would be playing at the NBA's "Basketball Without Borders" camp they'd be attending in Johannesburg. "I didn't know he was serious"; Buford said about his dad's idea. R. C. and Beth weren't quite sure either. Adopting a kid was a possibility not a guarantee. That line of thinking changed when they saw a spindly, 6-foot-7 bundle of energy bounce up and down the court without ever losing his smile. The fun-loving string bean was Wangmeng. He was one of 100 African plavers invited to the camp. Beth, a former KU golfer, and R.C., a former KU assistant basketball coach and general manager of the San Antonio Spurs, talked with Wangmene, then 15, and loved the kid's smile and how he saw all the positives in life. Beth and R.C. knew this was someone they could adopt. R.C. thought Wangmene would work hard and make the best of an opportunity to go to school and play basketball in America. "I just think that being around the world and seeing what great opportunities were provided for me, I wanted to provide that opportunity to someone else and share the good-will" R.C. said. Buford stats But would Wangmeng want to accept R.C. and Beth's offer? He had a stable life in Maroua, Cameroon, living with his grandmother in a city that was bigger than his parents' village so he could go to school and play basketball. "It was a nice routine," Wangmeng said. "Kind of laid-back, not in a hurry." In. Cameroon.. Wangmene probably wouldn't have been able to have much of a basketball career, but he could've had other things. Wangmene was in line to become chief of his Toupouri tribe. The position would have given him a comfortable life and the opportunity to marry five wives. "I didn't realize the sacrifice it would take." ALEXIS WANGMENE Chase Buford's adopted brother Total Points= 2 Total Minutes= 18 Highlight- Buford scored the only points of his college career when he made a jump shot against Loyola Maryland on Jan. 8. Wangmene talked to his mom, Germaine, and dad, Teophile, about the decision. Germaine didn't want him to go. Teophile told him he should leave. Wangmene decided that he wanted to leave his simple life in Maroua and move in with the Bufords for a challenge. "The poor thing was just exhausted," Beth said. Buford, then a 15-year-old high school sophomore, wasn't sure how to react to the cold, confused kid. "I didn't realize the sacrifice it would take," Wangmeng said. "At first," Buford said, "I was like, 'I don't want to have to baby-sit him all the time." A STRUGGLE TO INTEGRATE But it never felt like that for The Bufords had been back and forth between the airport and R.C.'s parents' house in Wichita all day waiting for Wangmene to arrive on Christmas Eve. He got tied up with visa problems and missed his connecting flight in Atlanta. It didn't help that Wangmene hardly knew a word of English. He could speak only his native French. He finally arrived. Finally, at 10 p.m., an underdressed, tall man stepped out of the Atlanta gate, and Buford and his family were ready to meet him. Buford. He and Wang mene weren't able to go to the same high school at home in San Antonio because of transfer problems for Wang mene, but they spent time together at night and during the weekends. The first few weeks were tough. Almost all Wangmene could do was say yes and no and communicate through hand signals. He spent a lot of time in his room doing homework and learning English. "It really was a struggle for me," Wangmene said. "No communication was possible. Imagine not being able to speak at all." LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER Buford and Wangmene started to form a bond through basketball in those early days. Although Wangmene had a five-inch size advantage, Buford did whatever he wanted on the court. "I always killed Alexis in one-on-one," he said. "He was too uncoordinated back then." Soon the language barrier faded. Wangmene learned how to speak English mainly on his own, but Buford helped out, too. He corrected Wangmene's mistakes and found the best way to help sometimes was by making fun of him. Wangmene often watched movies to pick up some English. One time, Buford found Wangmene viewing "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton," a no-go for boys. All of Buford's jokes were out of fun. He and Wangmene were becoming close friends. They spent the summer before their senior years of high school working out at the gym every day and going home to watch World Cup soccer. When the TV matches ended, they'd play each other in FIFA on the Xbox. said. On summer nights at friends' houses, it was tough to differentiate Buford from Wangmene. Sure, one was tall and African and the other was American and much shorter, but they did dress alike. Polo, American Eagle, Abercrombie — they wore the same clothes. Wangmene had picked up Buford's taste in fashion, perhaps too much of it. "He might dress preppier than anyone I know," Bufford said. The clothes were just the start. Buford introduced him to country music, and Wangmene fell in love with it. He listens to it all the time, especially Rascal Flats. "There's another embarrassing thing for him," Buford said. The fashion and music did wonders for Wangmene's love life. Girls started noticing him, but Buford couldn't take credit for that part. He said Wangmene has known how to attract gorgeous women from day one. Buford missed his brother, but he knew the move was for the better. Buford had helped integrate Wangmene into the American culture, and Wangmene had shown him that a whole different life existed outside San Antonio. He didn't learn too much about Cameroon tribes or other cultural aspects. He learned from getting to know his carefree African brother from a humble background that good people can come from anywhere. an almost unknown to the No. 81 prospect in the class of 2007. Blair Academy coach Joe Mantegan said the move to New Jersey allowed Wangmene to play against real competition and become a better player. It also gave Mantegan the opportunity to coach the kid who never stopped smiling. "It's something I'm so grateful could happen to me. I have a brother." "He definitely opened my eyes to a world I didn't even know," Buford said. "He's an unbelievable person," Mantegna said, "a way better person than he is a player." "He's like a big teddy bear," Buford said. "Quiet. I think he plays it off as an act, and they normally fall for him." Summer 2006 was the last time Buford and Wangmene really got to spend time together. Wangmene was moving to New Jersey to play basketball at Blair Academy for his senior year of high school. The inexperienced, non-English-speaking stick figure who used to get drubbed by Buford in one-on-one had come a long way. He was moving across the country to hone his rapidly improving game for one of the best high school teams in the nation. CHASE BUFORD Freshman walk-on There, Wangmene jumped from Wangmene tried saying a few words of trash talk to his brother, but Buford wouldn't have it. MEETING TONIGHT Wangmene's team, after blowing a big lead in the final two minutes, and Buford wasn't too happy. He outscored his brother, but the loss stung. His Alamo Heights team had just lost to Central Catholic. "I was so mad," Buford said. "He knew not to talk to me for a while." That was the only time Buford and Wangmene played each other in high school. Tonight will be the first time their teams meet in college. The stakes will be slightly higher this time with a Big 12 title race on the line. Wangmene and Buford talked about playing at Texas together, but in the end, Buffold wanted to get away from home. As fun as it would have been to play on the same team, both are happy with their situations. Wangmene is averaging 2.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game in about 11 minutes off the bench for the Longhorns. Buford, a walkon, isn't getting the minutes, but Kansas coach Bill Self said he was still improving. "He's a great teammate," Self said, "and he understands the game. He's not going to impact the game as far as putting him in at crucial times, but he's become a very good practice player and is making the guys better." The two brothers stay in touch as often as they can through phone calls, text messages or FIFA games. When Wangmene got ejected for throwing an elbow against Texas A&M two weeks ago, Buford was quick to tease him with a text. Tonight, Wangmene could get significant playing time with his team going against Kansas' tough front line. Bufford likely won't even dress for the game. People watching on TV or from the stands will probably see Buford behind the bench in street clothes and Wangmene sprinting down the court and have no idea that the two even know each other. They won't know about the FIFA games, the summers at the gym or the crisscrossing of two cultures. They won't know that these two kids from two different worlds grew together to become real brothers. "It been an experience I couldn't even imagine," Buford said. "It's something I'm so grateful could happen to me. I have a brother."

Rookie Adrian Peterson wins MVP BY BARRY WILNER ASSOCIATED PRESS Quite a way to finish off a rookie season. HONOLULU — Adrian Peterson stood in front of the car he had just won as MVP of the Pro Bowl. He wiggled the keys, leaned against the red roof and soaked in the acclaim. Peterson ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns, and Terrell Owens made up for early sloppiness with two TD receptions in the NFC's 42-30 comeback victory over the AFC on Sunday. Offensive Rookie of the Year Peterson's performance was the first of more than 100 yards since Marshall Faulk had 180 and Chris Warren added 127 in 1995. The Minnesota running back joined Faulk as the only rookies to be voted MVP of the Pro Bowl. "Good company," Peterson said. "We didn't get into the playoffs, so for me to come here and do this at the Pro Bowl means a lot. "I came with a goal: win the game and be MVP." "I'm going to keep it" Peterson said, smiling. And the car? Owens' 6-yard catch from Tampa Bay's Jeff Garcia provided the winning points, and Owens knew the new ride could have been sitting in his driveway. Then Peterson added a clinching 6-yard touchdown run to steel the wheels. "It didn't surprise me," said Owens, who finished with eight catches for 101 yards in a game that often resembled flag football on the beach. "He'll be in Minnesota his whole life and buying a lot of fur coats." Peterson grew up in Texas, so the Hawaiian weather was more to his taste than the frigid upper Midwest. He had several highlight runs, particularly a 39-yarder on one TD drive, and a 17-yard jaunt down the left sideline for a 28-27 NFC lead early in the third quarter. Four AFC defenders missed him on that touchdown. "He's like lightning in a bottle," Denver safety John Lynch said. "There's probably a handful of guys that you could say that has it all. And he's got that. He's got a little attitude to him. was a fake punt, a throwback kickoff return and a handful of fourth-down gambles. "He's going to wreak havoc in this league for a long time." One of those was a 34-yard pass to Owens from fellow Cowboy Tony Romo that sparked the comeback. Before that huge play, Owens had a pair of ugly drops that drew boos. He quickly turned them into cheers. "it's not how you start, it's how you finish," Owens said. "That's old hat," added Romo, who had to scramble away from a big pass rush before finding T.O. "We've done that before." Neither side held back the tricks, to the delight of the sellout crowd of 50,044 at Aloha Stadium. There "Hopefully they'll continue to play it over here and we will continue to make some highlight plays," he said. NFC players won $40,000, which Owens said made the trip to the islands even better. The 48 first-half points tied the Pro Bowl record for the first two periods. The only punt of the half turned into a fake and an 11-yard completion from San Francisco's On the opening drive, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez set the frenetic pace with completions of 31 and 25 yards around a botched snap that cost the AFC 20 yards. Browns receiver Braylon Edwards, one of 41 newcomers (including injured players) beat Seattle's Marcus Trufant on another 31-yarder before Lorenzo Neal dived from the 1. The San Diego fullback, a 15-year veteran, scored his first Pro Bowl touchdown. The scoring never abated. T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught TD throws of 16 yards from Manning and 1 from Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger. The Cincinnati receiver's second score came after Antonio Cromartie, the league's interception leader, returned a tipped pass 56 yards to the AFC 29. Andy Lee to Minnesota fullback Tony Richardson. After Peterson gained 24 yards on two plays, Romo threw to Larry Fitzgerald, who dived across the goal line to tie it at 7.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NY BUFFALO, N.Y. Overshadowed after Panthers forward Richard Zednik sustained a deep gash across the neck. Derek Roy scored twice to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 5-3 win over Florida on Sunday night. Zednik, who had blood gushing from his neck after being cut by a teammate's skate midway through the third period, was transported to hospital and listed in stable condition. The game was delayed for 15 minutes. Zednik was behind the play and skating into the right corner of the Sabres' zone, when teammate Olli Jokinen was upended by Sabres defenseman Brian Campbell. Jokinen fell head-first to the ice, and his right leg flew up and struck Zednik directly on the side of the neck. Clutching his neck, Zednik immediately raced to the Florida bench, leaving a long trail of blood. A Sabres trainer jumped on the ice to apply a towel across the player's neck, and Zednik was immediately escorted to the Panthers' dressing room. Thomas Vanek had a goal and assist, while Jason Pominville and Patrick Kaleta also scored for the Sabres, who improved to 6-0-2 in their past eight games. Ryan Miller stopped 22 shots in earning his 100th career win, while Campbell had three assists. Nathan Horton had a goal and assist, while Jokinen and Branislav Mezei scored for the Panthers, who lost for only the second time in six games (4-2).

PITTSBURGH - Eygen Malkin scored a goal and set up three others, giving him seven points in two days, and the Penguins finally figured out how to beat cross-state rival Philadelphia. The Flyers, swept in eight games by Pittsburgh last season, never trailed them in their four previous victories against Pittsburgh this season with Martin Biron.

BY EDDIE PELLS ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — Paul Hamm fell, maybe just to prove he's human. Even that couldn't derail another remarkable performance Saturday night, as the defending Olympic champion breezed to a victory at the Winter Cup Challenge and again showed what a power he could be six months from now in Beijing.

OLYMPICS British athletes must agree to leave politics out of games "The reality is, given the level of political scrutiny of the world's media on these games and the way China will handle them, the BOA felt it was sensible and proper to flag that rule to our athletes," British Olympic Association communications director Graham Mewson said Sunday. LONDON — British Olympic athletes must sign a new clause in their contracts prohibiting politically sensitive remarks or gestures during the Beijing Games. BY THOMAS WAGNER ASSOCIATED PRESS In January, Belgian athletes were told they would be prohibited from raising human rights or other The International Olympic Committee already has a rule that states "no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas." political issues at Olympic venues. Outside the sports venues and Olympic village, however, they will be frelg to speak their mind. The BOA is making the change because China's government is widely regarded as sensitive to criticism over issues such as its human rights record and Tibet, Mewson said. British athletes have been required to sign the 32-page BOA contract for 20 years before competing in the Olympics, but this is the first time such a clause is being added.

As has become tradition, Weldon got the Jayhawks fired up by leading the team's pregame huddle. DIALING LONG DISTANCE Kansas St. stained six three-pointers in the win, just under its average of 6.5 made per game. Oppositely, Kansas was a woeful 0-for-6 from long distance. "We're not going to win a three-point shooting contest and we don't need to (in order) to be successful," Henrickson said. That may be, but it's almost impossible to win a game without making a three-pointer. Freshman forward Nicollette Smith, the team's leading three-point shooter, didn't even attempt a try on Saturday. GIVING IT AWAY Kansas turned the ball over 19 times in Saturday's loss, which remarkably is under its average for turnovers in conference games. The Jayhaws average 20.9 giveaways per game in conference play, the most in the Big 12. Against Kansas St., five Kansas plays had multiple turnovers.

With her calming presence this season, K-State is 8-1 in the Big 12 and ranked No. 18 in the land. Wildcats coach Deb Patterson, wearing a pair of pink shoes and a matching shirt It was only fitting that Gipson would be the key contributor in Kansas State's 64-58 Sunflower Showdown victory Saturday afternoon almost a year after her absence, which allowed Kansas to break a streak of 12 straight losses last year to their in-state rivals. Gipson showed her class against the Jayhawks rapidly improving freshman center Krysten Boogaard despite giving up more than five in support of cancer awareness, said Gipson gave her team everything she had "She walks off the floor 8-for- 16 - fifty percent from the floor - she shoots perfect from the foul line, she finishes the night with a double-double, she spent 38 minutes of the game defending know if there is anything else that you can ask her to do." The accolades weren't limited to the purple side of the bench either. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said Gipson drew Kansas' defense into the lane and provided space for Kansas State's outside shooters. Henrickson said she was happy with her team's play, and specifically the growth of Boogaard. She said that Gipson's athleticism and quickness were too much for the young Canadian at times. "She is a one on one matchup; all the great shooters are going to spot up around her," Henrickson said. "She's been a great player and certainly is a big difference for their success this year and they knew that "She [Gipson] is a good player. She is very quick and has a good vertical. She gets up there. It was a little difficult." KRYSTEN BOOGAARD Freshman center a 6-foot-5 player and in the last six minutes of the game she took the game over," Patterson said. "I don't coming in."

But it didn't all come easily for Gipson. After having her first shot attempt swatted by Boogaard, she settled down and went about guiding Kansas State to victory. Asked what she thought of Boogaard, Gipson said she foresaw good things in the future for the Kansas center. For now the two are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Gipson is a key cog in what may be the best team in the Big 12, while Boogaard is just starting to come into her own. "She is a good player," Boogaard said. "She is very quick and has a good vertical. She gets up there. It was a little difficult."

Pyro made a smashing seasonal debut in the appropriately named Risen Star Stakes at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans, roaring from last at the top of the stretch to a two-length victory over stablemate Z Fortune. Colt races to surprise finish Three-year-old opens as top Kentucky Derby contender BY RICHARD ROSENBLATT ASSOCIATED PRESS Steve Asmussen is set for another enjoyable ride along the Kentucky Derby trail, and this time the trainer starts out with the early lead thanks to his rising star Pyro — and a few other promising 3-woods — and a few other promising 3-year-olds. Pyro made a smashing seasonal debut in the appropriately named Risen Star Stakes at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans, roaring from last at the top of the stretch to a two-length victory over stablemate Z Fortune. A year ago, Asmussen guided Curlin through a thrilling Triple Crown campaign — third in the Derby, first in the Preakness and second in the Belmont Stakes — en route to Horse of the Year honors. Curlin, though, didn't make his first career start until Feb. 3, 2007, while Pyro already is a well-seasoned thoroughbred. The son of Pulpit proved it in the 1 1-16th-mile Risen Star, overtaking 10 rivals for his second win in five races. His two runner-up finishes were against unbeaten War Pass in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the Champagne Stakes. After Saturday's race in which Pyro made up 8½ lengths in the final quarter mile, Pyro opens at No.1 in The Associated Press' Run to the Roses Top 10 list of Derby contenders. "He's a tremendous horse," Asmussen said. "How good is he? He's good enough to do what we just watched. He accelerated home." Pyro may have an advantage over most promising 3-year-olds for now — the colt has been working in the company of Curlin. "Guess his workmate did the job, huh?" Asmussen added. Z Fortune, meanwhile, was 3- for-3 and led midway through the stretch of the Risen Star before being overtaken by Pyro. "He was halfway idling when he made the lead," Z Fortune's rider Garrett Gomez said. "I think the longer distances will definitely help this colt." Also among Asmussen's dozen Triple Crown nominees is Kodiak Kowboy, third in the BC Juvenile and a winner in four of seven races. Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia set the early future wagering, with the mutuel field of all other 3-year-olds nominated listed as the 3-1 favorite over 23 separate betting choices. Pyro was listed at 5-1 and War Pass at 6-1 after the first of three betting pools closed Sunday night. A total of 449 3-year-olds were nominated for the Derby, Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, with Todd Pletcher leading all trainers with 31 nominees. MLB All-Star leaves major league Mike Sweeney says goodbye to KC Royals for Oakland A's ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Five-time All-Star first baseman Mike Sweeney has agreed to a minor league contract with the Oakland As, ending his 17-year tenure with the Kansas City Royals. Sweeney, 35, told The Kansas City Star that he began seeking other opportunities after the Royals indicated they weren't interested in seeking a new deal with the free agent. "I have no hard feelings toward (general manager) Dayton Moore or the Royals for not bringing me back for 2008," Swenee said. "Dayton was very respectful but explained it just wasn't a good fit. "I knew after that door was closed, I had to look for another place to play." Sweeney has been battling knee and back injuries over the last several years, and played in only 74 games last season. But he is optimistic about joining the A's at camp in Phoenix on Wednesday. "I really feel the best I've felt in years," he said, "and I'm just looking to get after it. I'll get to play a little first base, do some DHing and, hopefully, have an impact in some younger guys." Sweeney was drafted by the Royals in the 10th round of the 1991 draft. After making the big leagues in 1995, he became a five-time AllStar and became the team's captain before the 2003 opener. He had a career .299 average at Kansas City. "Kansas City became my second home, but it's not my team anymore," he said. "It belongs to Alex (Gordon) and (Mark) Teahen and (David) DeJesus and Gil (Mche) and all of those younger guys." He agreed on Sunday to terms of the contract, which includes several performance incentives. Sweeney became expendable when Billy Butler showed big league power last season as designated hitter while Sweeney was injured.

The jury deliberated 11 hours in Walton's trial for the hit-and-run accident that killed pedestrian Ryan Kanost on Sept. 23, 2006, at 13th and Kentucky Streets. It found Walton guilty of the misdemeanor, vehicular homicide, as requested by the defense. Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson sought involuntary manslaughter while under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. This charge is a felony that carries a minimum of three years in prison. Walton was not convicted of driving while intoxicated. "We believe the evidence supports the higher charge," Branson said. "For that reason we will seek the maximum sentence." Walton's attorney, Tom Bath, said this was not a victory for anyone in the courtroom. "There is no joy or sense of triumph here for anyone." Bath said. Bath said Walton was sad, guilty and remorseful for having taken the life of Kanost and was prepared to take any punishment the jury felt fit for him.

Ban said at the start of a two-day U.N. General Assembly debate to generate support for a new treaty by 2009 to fight global warming. ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED NATIONS — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday urged all nations to join private companies, civic groups and individuals this year in sustaining "the unprecedented momentum" to fight global warming. General Assembly President Srgian Kermi join U.N. member states, government officials and business and civic leaders to the United Nations to follow up December's international climate conference on the Indonesian resort island of Bali. There, delegates from nearly 190 nations agreed to adopt a blueprint to "The conference delivered what it set out to do," Ban said. "Now the real work begins. The challenge is huge. We have less than two years to craft an agreement on action that measures up to what the science tells us." In key reports last year, a U.N. network of climate and other scientists warned of severe consequences from rising seas, droughts, severe weather, species extinction and other effects - without sharp cutbacks in emissions of the industrial, transportation and agricultural gases blamed for global warming. Toavoid the worst, the Nobel Prize- winning U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced by 25 percent to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 — and by at least half by 2050. control global warming gases before the end of next year. The new agreement would replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which requires 36 industrial nations to radically reduce emissions by 2012, when it expires. The United States is the only major industrial country that did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol. "This is just as important as stopping nuclear proliferation. This is just as important as stopping terrorism," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday in the keynote address, "Developed countries need to take a clear lead, but success is possible only if all countries act." A new agreement needs to be adopted by the end of 2009 to ensure a smooth transition to a new post-Kyoto regime. Before then, Ban said, the international community must map emission limitation commitments; mobilize the financing needed and technological innovation; and agree on "essential action to adapt to the impacts of BAN KI-MOON U.N. Secretary General "Developed countries need to take a clear lead, but success is possible only if all countries act," Ban said. "The more ambitious the commitments by developed countries, the more actions we can expect from developing countries." climate change." He called on governments, organizations, and individuals around the world to "help sustain the unprecedented momentum that propelled the climate change agenda forward so dramatically last year." Kerim said new technologies, renewable energies and more research are essential to solve the problem. "What is needed is ... global alliance for action, shared by individuals, the media, lawmakers, business leaders, governments, regional organizations and ultimately the global community embodied in the UN," Kerim said. "Only then will we have Bloomberg said the world's cities can help lead the way toward reducing the greenhouse gases blamed for warming the planet. He also called on the United States to set "real and binding" targets to reduce emissions, instead of the current U.S. strategy that largely relies on voluntary approaches and spending for research and technology. a chance to tackle this enormous challenge to our way of life" Special guests at the climate debate include British billionaire Richard Branson, who has decided to invest heavily in "biofuels", and actress Daryl Hannah. Nearly 100 countries have signed up to speak and 20 are sending ministers, assembly spokesman Janos Tisovszky said Friday. The debate follows a recent report by the secretary-general which said global warming could cost the world up to $20 trillion over two decades for cleaner energy sources and do the most harm to people who can least afford to adapt. "I believe that the American people are prepared for our responsibility to lead by example," he said. >> POSTAL SERVICE Stamp cost to increase by one cent WASHINGTON — Mailing a letter will soon cost a penny more. The cost of a first-class stamp will rise to 42 cents starting May 12, the U.S. Postal Service said Monday. The price of the Forever stamp will go up at the same time, meaning those stamps can still be purchased for 41 cents but will remain good for first-class postage after the rate increase takes effect. The post office has sold 5 billion Forever stamps since they were introduced last April and plans to have an additional 5 billion in stock to meet the expected demand before the May price change, the The charge for other services, such as advertising mail, periodicals, packages and special services will also change. Changes in the price for Priority Mail and Express Mail will be announced later, the agency said. agency said. In the past, raising postage rates was a long, complex process involving hearings before the independent Postal Regulatory Commission, a process that could take nearly a year. Postage rates last went up in May, 2007, with a first-class stamp jumping 2 cents to the current 41-cent rate. However, under the new law regulating the post office that took effect in late 2006, the agency is allowed to increase rates with 45-days notice as long as changes are within the rate of inflation for the previous year. The Postal Regulatory Commission calculated that rate at 2.9 percent through January, limiting the first-class rate to an increase of just more than a penny. Under the new law, postal prices will be adjusted annually each May, the Postal Service said. Officials said they plan to give 90-days notice of future changes, twice what is required by law. Associated Press BUSINESS Station offers cheaper fuel Every family Can Drive It would arent the lowest to be used.

Any vehicle made after 1980 can run on the E10 fuel only with vehicles flexible engines can run on EBS, which is cheaper than regular fuel. agreenhaw@kansan.com BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com New Zarco 66 features two kinds of ethanol fuel It's called Ethanol, and at the E85 grade, it is about 40 cents cheaper than regular unleaded gasoline, but A cheaper, alternative fuel is now available at the new Zarco 66 at Ninth and Iowa Streets. not all cars can use the newly available fuel. There are two different grades of ethanol available at the new gas station: E10 gasoline and E85 ethanol. According to Zarco 66's ruin their vehicle's engine, which wouldn't be covered under warranty", Merschbrock said. E10 contains 10 percent ethanol and costs the same amount as regular fuel but is cleaner for the environment said Steve Martin, manager at the new Zarco. "Because 10 percent of what you're burning isn't fossil fuel, it's 10 percent cleaner to use." "Because 10 percent of what STEVE MARTIN Zarco manager Web site, any car manufactured after 1980 can use the E10 gasoline, but only vehicles with flexible fuel engines can use the E-85 ethanol. According to Crown Chevrolet sales manager Kenny Merschbrock, without a flexible engine, any gasoline that contains more than 10 percent ethanol could cause severe damage. "If anyone uses anything above a 10 percent blend, it could According to Zarco 66's Web site, the first tank of you're burning it, it's 10 percent cleaner to use," he said. "But it still costs the same as regular gasoline." E85 ethanol could cause an engine to run slightly rough because the ethanol will consume water that has accumulated in the fuel tank, but once the water is absorbed in the first tank, it should run normally.

The decrease in fuel efficiency is almost unnoticeable for E10 gasoline. "Ethanol is more expensive to produce than regular gasoline," he said, "but because the government subsidizes it, it's cheaper for consumers." Tabakh said that while it may be more expensive now, ethanol is a good transitional fuel because companies are learning a lot more about the infrastructure that's necessary to handle alcohol-based fuels. — Edited by Nick Mangiaracina Au Marché The European Market 931 Mass. 865-0876 www.aumarche.com 25% OFF CHOCOLATE exp. 2 14 08 5 TANS FOR $ 20 (Purchase through Feb. 15th) Valentine Special XOXO ULTIMATE TAN 2449 Iowa St. Holiday Shopping Plaza (785) 842-4949 4A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY FEBRUARY 13, 2018 》 IRAQ WAR Troop withdrawal in Iraq suspended ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS FORWARD OPERATING BASE FALCON, Iraq — In a clear sign, the drawdown of U.S. forces from Iraq will be suspended. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Monday he favors taking time this summer to assess security gains before more troops leave the country, an idea President Bush is expected to support. U. S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, center, talks with Iraqi government officials in Baghdad, Iraq during an unannounced visit Sunday. At left is Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki. Security in Iraq has improved since 30,000 troops were added last summer. TOMMY JOHNSON It was Gates' first public endorsement of a possible suspension, and it would seem to mark an end to the Pentagon chief's previously stated hope that conditions in Iraq would permit American troops to withdraw in the second half of this year as rapidly as they are leaving now. "A brief period of consolidation and evaluation probably does make sense," Gates told reporters during a short stop at this U.S. base in southern Baghdad. He had just finished private meetings with Gen. David Pateaux, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and the No. 2 commander, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno. Gates did not say how long the pause might last, noting that it ultimately would be a decision for the president. In separate remarks, Gates described al-Qaida in Iraq, the insurgent group that U.S. officials say is led by a small number of foreign fighters with links to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, as having been "routed." That is an unusually strong characterization by Gates of the damage done to al-Qaida, which has been largely pushed out of Baghdad but is still seen by U.S. commanders as a serious threat. Petraeus and Odierno both have said publicly in recent weeks that they would like to see a "period of assessment" after July in order to get a clearer indication of how troop cuts by then are working. Neither has said for how long. The logic of a pause, perhaps through September and possibly longer, rests on the fact that the current schedule for troop reductions through July leaves open the possibility that as the Americans leave in increasingly big numbers, security gains — described by Gates Monday as "fragile" — may be eroded or lost. Security has improved markedly since last summer, when the last of five Army brigades arrived in Iraq, adding 30,000 troops to reinforce the military strategy of protecting the Iraqi population and undercutting the viability of the insurgency. After reaching a strength of 20 brigades in late June, the first of the five extra brigades went home in December without being replaced, and four more are scheduled to leave by July. That would leave about 130,000 or so U.S. troops in Iraq next summer, according to current planning. Gates stressed that a decision to suspend after July would be Bush's to make after he hears from Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker in April, when the top U.S. officials in Baghdad are expected to return to Washington to report to Congress on how the war-fighting strategy is working and how to proceed on troop cuts. Petraeus apparently feels that because the bulk of currently scheduled troop cuts are to happen in the relatively short span between April and July, it will take a period after that — likely months rather than weeks to understand how the cuts affect conditions on the ground, including the strength of the insurgency. In his remarks to reporters Monday, Gates said he had been leaning toward Petraeus' view recently, although in his public remarks as recently as last month he said he hoped that the drawdown in the second half of the year could proceed at the same pace as the first half. That would translate to a reduction from 15 brigades in July to 10 by the end of the year, leaving perhaps 100,000 troops there when Bush leaves office in January. "In my own thinking I had been kind of headed in that direction, as well," Gates said. "But one of the keys is how long is that period, and then what happens after that." He said those were questions for Bush. Gates called Odierno "one of the most effective military leaders of his generation." Odierno, who spent 15 months as the senior day-to-day commander of American troops in Gates recalled the rampant violence in Iraq, particularly in Baghdad, at the outset of Odierno's tour. Iraq, has been nominated for promotion to four-star rank and assignment as vice chief of staff of the Army. "Those early months were tough times?" Gates said. "Casualties were high. There were questions in the United States and around the world whether this new strategy — or any strategy, for that matter — would be able to make a real difference. "What a difference you made, and much more — al-Qaida routed, insurgents co-opted, levels of violence of all kinds dramatically reduced," he said. "The situation in Iraq continues to be fragile, but the Iraqi people now have an opportunity to forge a better, more secure, more prosperous future." CONGRESS MR. LANTOS ASSOCIATED PRESS Rep.

Tom Lantos, who escaped the Nazis and grew up to become a forceful voice for human rights all over the world, has died. He was 80.

DUCK RABBIT TRIANGLES DOIN' IT Jaymes and Sarah Logan RANDOM THOUGHTS COURTS Tolkien's estate sues studio for $150 million in damages LOS ANGELES—The estate of "Lord of the Rings" creator J.R.R. Tolkien is suing the film studio that released the trilogy based on his books, claiming the company hasn't paid it a penny from the estimated $6 billion the films have grossed worldwide. Robert Pini, a spokesman for Time Warner Inc.'s New Line, declined to comment. The suit, filed Monday, claims New Line was required to pay 7.5 percent of gross receipts to Tolkien's estate and other plaintiffs, who contend they only received an upfront payment of $62,500 for the three movies before production began. The writer's estate, The Tolkien Trust, and original "Lord of the Rings" publisher HarperCollins filed the lawsuit against New Line Cinema in Los Angeles Superior Court. If successful, it could block the long-awaited prequel to the films. The plaintiffs seek more than $150 million in compensatory damages, unspecified punitive damages and a court order giving the Tolkien estate the right to terminate any rights New Line may have to make films based on other works by the author. Associated Press MUSIC Back problem causes Dolly to postpone show A back problem has forced Dolly Parton to postpone a concert tour she planned in support of her new CD. Parton was scheduled to kick off a 13-show tour Feb. 28 in Minneapolis, two days after the release of "Backwoods Barbie," publicist Marcee Rondan said Monday. Doctors advised Parton to take up to eight weeks off to recover from the unspecified problem. Rondan said she had no information on the nature of Parton's back condition. "I know I have been breaking my neck and bending over backwards trying to get my new 'Backwoods Barbie' CD and world tour together, but I didn't mean to hurt myself doing it" Parton, 62, said in a statement. She said doctors told her she will be "good as new in a few weeks, and I can't wait to get back out there."

I know, I hear all the critical cries coming at me now. "It is your right as a citizen to vote and to know your candidates." "How do you consider yourself American if you don't even participate in democracy?" The truth is, I would love to participate, but all I see are empty promises from politicians who promise change and I'm positive that I'm not the only college student who is jaded with American politics. The youth vote is one of the most fruitless pursuits a politician could pursue. So I'm obviously not alone in my principles. In this current political climate, I do believe that change is needed, and it is the reason why that if I do vote, I'm voting for Obama (the only reason I'd vote for Hilary Clinton would be to call former president Bill Clinton, the First Lady). However, I will not take any criticisms about how I'm not American because I don't have the enthusiasm to vote for the next guy who says, "I promise if I'm president, I'll do blah blah blah, here is some political propaganda so that I'll win" Like any other civilization in history, it is not just politics that makes a culture. More people tune into and vote for the next American Idol that tune into or vote for whatever political thing that's happening. I'm not saying that's what I recommend, I can't stand American Idol, but this surely says something about America. It's not that our political system doesn't work, it does work, because options are always presented to us, whether to vote for republican or democrat, which republican candidate or which democrat candidate, or to whether tune into a favorite show or Meet the Press. What one loves about America could come down to simple things like watching baseball, America's past time, or simply obsessing about the lives of the rich and the famous since America is a capitalist society. It's the notion that some Americans will say their favorite holiday is the Super Bowl, and I think that is American. It isAmerican. It's the notion that one could get crazed about the Yankees versus the Red Sox in the World Series, and that's American. It's the notion that someone could publicly criticize a political figure, and he or she could not be touched because it is their right, that's American. It's the notion that one could vote for whoever they wish, and I believe that's American. It's the notion that one could choose, and I think that is what is great about America.

As if by divine intervention, a three-month strike ends Max Rinkel COMMENTARY Free ency-KU-pedia WiKUpedia is students' prime site for all information about University BEN COHEN A great commercial airs during the basketball games, where several aspects of the University are showcased in brief, action-filled clips, set to a combination of the University alma mater and the Rock Chalk chant. According to the clip, an incredible array of experiences exist at the University of Kansas, something I certainly will not argue with. It is nearly impossible to find out exactly all of the things on that screen were without conducting an extremely thorough, time-consuming study of the entire campus, and this to somebody who has had three years to learn about things. I As it turns out, an easy place to research everything has recently been established. It's called KUKupedia, a simple wiki-style site created by a group of University students. The name should be pretty self-explanatory. Like Wikipedia, the site allows people to create or edit entries about any subject. The only difference is that, in this case, everything has a University focus. The project was initially created by members of the group Connect, a Student Senate coalition. The group's plan was to create a place where all students had easy access to information about Student Senate, which has long been notoriously complicated to those not heavily involved. The desire to set up a Web site where students could research the senate sprunge because Student Senate's own Web site has not been updated since what may very well have been the Dark Ages. Soon after WiKUpedia was introduced something happened. Within a few weeks of the site's launch, there were already a few thousand unique visitors to it. People not in any way affiliated with Student Senate discovered WiKUpedia, and began shaping into something that transcended that one aspect of the University. In the span of a few weeks, the site has gone from a repository of Senate information, to a place where one can find at least a little bit about anything related to the University. I got in touch with Jason Oruch, one of the leaders of the Connect coalition, and he explained WIKUpedia "has expanded. It's got article about campus buildings, University alumni, even camping for basketball tickets." Oruch described the site as having quickly become greater than a project of his coalition, and rather as a new resource for all students to both learn from and contribute to. Because of this, work on the site has actually split off from Connect, and gone to a new group called the WIKUpedia Project, devoted specifically to updating and expanding it to be as detailed as possible. After I learned a little about WiKUpedia, I began going through it myself, and I have to admit, I've become a little bit fascinated with it. Like Jason had described to me, there have been at least brief articles written about many areas of campus, as well as notable alumni, and several professors. Many student organizations have also used the wiki to post detailed entries about themselves and their events. The most thorough entries remain those about Student Senate, It will — I hope — continue growing at the pace it currently is, and finally there will be an organized place for people to learn about all that is KU.

A variety of presidential candidates stand on both sides of the war: Should the US should work for peace or should we cut our losses? Please, make an informed decision looking forward and not an emotional one looking back to Bush's deceit. The war is certainly not a traditional war in which nationalities and battle lines are clearly drawn. Sunnis, Shites, and Kurds are set on the extermination of each other. The only thing obstructing complete ethnic cleansing is the presence of US forces. us from the work that our country is doing. Our history is that we were deceived when we entered Iraq. The world was told we were entering for Weapons of mass destruction, and since we've discovered that much of the information delivered to the UN was a stretch of the truth. We were deceived, and that hurts. It hurts because our friends and family were put in harm's way and many died for reasons that don't seem to hold up now. It hurts, but if we let our emotions stand in the way of the decisions that we will make, then we're doomed to failure. When we choose how to move forward we must act with care, or we might make as rash of a decision in leaving as we made when entering Iraq. What frightens me is that immediate history seems to be blinding The easy decision would be to leave quickly. Americans are heartbroken by our casualties and want an end. George Orwell said, "The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it" and the peacekeeping our forces are doing is no different. The US envoy to Iraq warns that if such a pullout were to occur that Iraq would degrade into a civil war or worse. The entire region could be drawn in to the conflict that would kill countless Iraqis. The question is how many American deaths justify how many Iraqi deaths. If we consider all life to be equal then the US cannot even think about a withdrawal that will probably kill more Iraqis in a few months than the casualties our country would take in a year. Looking into the future it's not certain that withdrawal would save Americans. While this generation might be spared more bloodshed, the next generation could pay for a destabilized Iraq. If we leave and a regime supporting terrorism sprouts in our place then the battleground might move to our back yard. Sincerely.

Branson said it is hard to try an alcohol-related case without the blood alcohol results of the suspect. "You have to judge the behavior all by itself." Branson said. The jury had the opportunity to find Walton guilty of leaving an injury accident, leaving a fatality accident or it could have dropped the second charge all together. Again, they chose the lesser of the charges in Walton's sentencing. The prosecution could not prove that Walton knew a death was involved. Bath said. Dewhirst said the same thing. Dewhirst said the same thing. "We had no evidence that he knew he had hit a person", Dewhirst said, "only that something bad had happened." Dewhirst said the jury worked really hard to tell the difference between involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide. He said they put a lot of value into the testimonies of Walton's actions after he returned to where his friends were after the accident and the testimonies about whether Kanost was in the crosswalk. "Walton came in the next morning," Dewhirst said. "We took that into account too." Branson said that the difference in charges meant that Walton would spend his sentence in the county jail rather than in a prison. Bath said that Walton was a good kid who had never been in trouble before, and he is taking it day by day and trying to go on as best he can. Kanost's friends and relatives did not comment and said they felt it would be inappropriate at this time. Branson said that Kanost's family is taking in what has happened and will wait for sentencing. Walton will be sentenced March 24. — Edited by Katherine Loeck New forms list improved questions CAMPUS --- Please mark only one response per item. 1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=neither agree nor disagree, 4=agree, 5=strongly agree Evaluations will be fairer judgement of teachers 1.

"A key feature of the new questions is that it is the consensus of the task force that students are the right people to answer these questions. People will not dismiss these answers because students are the right people to be answering them." This is the first time the form called the Curriculum & Instruction Survey, has been changed in more than 20 years. Dan Bernstein, director of the Center for Teaching Excellence and chair of the task force that created the new evaluation form, said the old form used the answers to the question, "What do you think of this instructor?" as the basis for judging instructors' performances. He said the University decided to remove that question because faculty thought it was unfair. evaluation policy. Bernstein said teachers wanted an evaluation that covered a broader range of teaching. He said the new policy would make the student voice more authentic and valued. He said the goal was to direct the amount of energy that was spent complaining about the system and instead do something about the system. Departments will not be mandated to use this new, default form, however, the Office of the Provost will pay for the production cost of the forms if departments use the provost-sponsored form. If a department chooses to use its own In July 2006, the Faculty Executive Committee, FacEx, created the Task Force on Assessment of Teaching and Learning to create a policy that adhered to the Board of Regents requirements for faculty evaluations and would be a more appropriate evaluation of teachers' performances. Bernstein said the Board of Regents mandates that certain topics be addressed in the evaluation, such as setting and reaching goals, but that the Regents are very open about how they addressed. The University's evaluation policy had not been changed since 1996. form it will have to use money from its budget to pay for the forms. Bernstein said the task force based the new teacher evaluation form on the form Student Senate has online. "It was getting at features of teaching that students are really good at observing, and the community needs to hear about that," Bernstein said. During the spring and summer the task force tested various versions of the new evaluation form on 1,200 students. Bernstein said the University removed all the overall and summary questions, the question that asked if the teacher knew the subject, whether the course involved too much work and added a question asking whether the student was treated with respect. Bernstein said the task force thought it was not appropriate for students to comment on whether a class was too much work because students misunderstood the question. He said the course number of a class should reflect how much students should know about the subject before taking the class, not the amount of reading and work that was assigned. He said the amount of work should be the same in all classes. The task force also decided to add a separate sheet of paper to the evaluation form for comments. Bernstein said the inclusion of comments in the evaluation packets has always been optional. However, the comments were collected on the same piece of paper as the ratings, rendering their inclusion non-optional. He also said if teachers report comments, they must turn in all the comments they received. those comments out of context and make a case against and for a faculty member based on selective comments." Levy said, "If you are really going to do a good job you have to look at all the comments and evaluate them." 3 days until 110 Years of Basketball! 64 pages devoted entirely to the remarkable history of your Kansas Jayhawks pick it up February 15th it's inside The University Daily Kansan The new evaluation policy will also allow classes in the same department of similar course numbers to be compared with each other and not to classes of higher levels and different subjects. Bernstein said in the past, faculty who taught large introductory courses were compared with teachers who taught small graduate seminars, which are incomparable. "The goal was to expand the evaluation of teaching to include how much students learn, the contributions that teachers make outside of class and the way teachers use both feedback from students and student learning to change their teaching over time," Bernstein said. "We worked with KU research faculty who study the analysis of comments and they described a set of guidelines to assure even minimal validity from using comments," Bernstein said. "We feel those must be followed if comments become part of the evaluation. It's a long document, but basically it requires a more formal analysis than is usually done." Members of Faculty and University Senate expressed concern that the new evaluation did not take tenure into consideration. The senators said they were interested to see if a professor's tenure affects his or her performance. Robert Harrington, a professor in the department of research and education, told the senators work in the department of education was being done on that subject. Bernstein said it was a bigger question than the task force could address. "It's an important question, but we didn't set out to sort out how to include lifespan development in a world with tenure," Bernstein said. "A task force in the future could look into that." Stephanie Beltran, Leawood junior, said she liked the new form better than the old form because its layout was less confusing, but she did not really notice a change in most questions. She also said some of the new questions were pointless. "Was the course at a convenient time? It doesn't matter if you have to take it anyway." Beltran said. Rick Levy, president of faculty senate and professor of law, said the law school uses a much different evaluation form than the new default form. He said he would prefer to use the new form because the comment section better analyzes teachers' performances. "When students write comments, sometimes those comments are really nasty and its easy to take She also said she did not like the separation of the numerical and comment sections. "I'm not the type of person who gives bad remarks about people, but if they are going to keep it there's no point because no one else is going to see it," Beltran said. "I could just tell them in person."

The No. 11 Longhorns defeated the No. 3 Jayhawkss 72-69. The Hawks shot just over 43 percent from the floor for the game and made less than a quarter of their three-point attempts. Texas shot 40 percent from beyond the arc, making 8-of-12 on three. KANSAS 15 TEXAS 32 BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com AUSTIN, Texas - All the talk about No. 1 seeds, Final Fours and even Big 12 Championships might need to stop for Kansas, at least for a while. The Jayhawks need to get a marquee victory before all that chatter can start back up again. Kansas lost to No. 11 Texas 72-69 Monday night at the Erwin Center when Mario Chalmers' last second shot hit the back of the rim. It's the second loss in the past two weeks for the Jayhawks (23-2, 8-2). They lost to Kansas State in Manhattan Jan. 30 and just like in that game, Kansas was outplayed and outhustled by a team it was favored to beat. That act is already getting old for Kansas such Bill Self. "I think they out-manned us in the second half" he said. For the first 20 minutes, Kansas' offense was dominant. The Jayhawks found out, again, that they play their best ball when the offense goes through the post. Darnell Jackson and Darrell Arthur combined to score 25 points in the first half. Sasha Kaum and Cole Aldrich pitched in another four. Kansas' front court was too much for Texas, which saw its best forward, Damion James, exit with foul trouble early on. The Jayhawks put up 42 points and out-rebounded the soft-looking Longhorns by 10. At halftime. Self told his players they would need to play even harder inside in the second half, and that the Longhorns' poor performance inside was a fluke. But when Texas coach Rick Barnes got wise to the Jayhawks' low post offense and geared his defense toward stopping it, Arthur and Jackson couldn't adjust. Arthur picked up two quick fouls, pouted on defense and showed why his consistency is still a work in progress. He and Jackson scored just 10 points in the second half. "They trapped the post a lot," Arthur said. "It was hard to score." While they struggled, James came back with a vengeance. He scored 12 of his 14 points and grabbed all of his 13 rebounds after intermission. "Damion had a chance to sit on the bench in the first half and let it boil a bit," Self said. "Then he kicked our butts in the second half!" The post players' worst sins came late in the game. Texas scored two major baskets on putback dunks with less than five minutes to go. The second one gave the Longhorns a 66-61 lead. In the final 1:30 of the game, Kansas gave up two more offensive rebounds. The second came when the ball bounced off Brandon Rush's head. In the second half, after Self pleaded with his players to dial up the intensity, Texas outrebounded Kansas 23-12. "They got a lot of second-chance buckets" Arthur said. "That killed us." Despite the problems, Kansas still had an opportunity to tie. Trailing by three in the final seconds, Chalmers missed an off-balanced but open three-pointer. Self said his team killed the final play by moving the ball to the wrong side of the court. The miss sent the Jayhawks back into the locker room hurting and still missing that important victory against a consistent top 25 team. Southern California was ranked when the Jayhawks won against the team in December, but the Trojans have been out of the ranks since. Ditto for Arizona. The Jayhawks' other big victories have come against Boston College, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma and Baylor. None of those teams were in the top 25 when Kansas played against them, and it's unlikely any of them will compete for a conference title. Baylor might be In KU's two toughest tests the Jayhawks have come up lame, first in a loss to the Wildcats two weeks ago, and now to Texas. the only of those schools to make the NCAA Tournament. Because of their inability to win those games, the Jayhawks dropped from the top of the Big 12 conference. Kansas State is now the only team with one loss, and Texas is just a half game behind Kansas in third. The Jayhawks will probably need to win all of their games down the stretch to get back in line for conference championships and beyond. Chalmers said the team can do it. "We're still the favorites" he said. "That's what's in our mind." —Edited by Sasha Roe BASEBALL 31 13 42 Casey Larson, senior outfielder, rounds the bases last season. This season, the team has yet to hit the diamond. Cold weather has forced them to practice inside for the second straight week. Weather keeps practice inside shroyer@kansan.com BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com Kansas may have had to wait a month to begin practice this season due to NCAA regulations, but that hasn't made the Kansas weather any more accommodating. The Jayhawks wrapped up their first full week of practice last week, but have yet to step on the field at Hoglund Ballpark. As the days fall off the calendar until Kansas first game, coach Ritch Price is just trying to keep his players fresh, regardless of where they practice. Confined to Anschutz Pavilion or the team's indoor hitting facility, Price has been mixing up his practice routines to break up the monotony of being indoors. "We've been trying to make sure that we don't go backwards." Price said. "If you keep inside every day and practice three to three and a half hours, you can literally get worse. One week becomes two weeks and is our second week we've been inside every single day" Last week Price eliminated certain drills from some practices. In his sixth season at Kansas, Price has learned that varying and shortening indoor practices can help players remain focused on the task at hand. Price has grown accustomed to the limitations of playing baseball in February in Kansas. However, incoming freshmen, particularly those from Western states, can take time to adjust to the elements. "At this level, our players understand that it's work, but they also understand that you have to come and prepare every day because the big picture is that in two weeks you're going to be playing for real and you'd better be ready," Price said. Freshman third baseman Tony Thompson, a Reno, Nev., native said eastern Kansas and western Nevada winters were fairly similar. "Yeah, it's snowy and in the teens, so it's about the same," Thompson said. "We practice inside a lot at the beginning of the season in Nevada, too." Even though Kansas' practice conditions are less than ideal, Price was pleased with the effort his assistants were getting out of their position players, particularly pitching coach Ryan Graves. "Coach Graves has done a really nice job of using some different teaching strategies to help us improve our command," Price said. "Also, it's a much more experienced pitching staff than it was a year ago, so I think they've taken a jump from a development standpoint." But with time running out before Kansas heads to Hawaii for its season opener against Hawaii-Hilo on Feb. 22, Price is crossing his fingers that his team will practice outside. If it doesn't though, it won't be the first time Kansas didn't touch a diamond until arriving on the Bie Island. "I really hope that the weather will change sometime this week and maybe we'll get out two or three days before we go to Hawaii," Price said. "But we've been there five times before and three times we hadn't been outside, so it's not unusual for this to happen to us." MARKS UPDATE Junior left-hander Andy Marks continues to make progress as he rehabilitates his throwing shoulder. Marks had surgery in the fall to repair his labrum and Price said his ace hasn't had any setbacks in his rehab and is on pace to return to the mound in mid-March. —Edited by Sasha Roe COMMENTARY Jayhawks need to get more aggressive defensively in order to step up their game KANSAS 3 760 Weston White/Kansan File Photo Senior guard Russell Robinson drives into the lane against a Colorado defender. Focusing on defensive tactics by slowing down the game has been successful for the Jayhawks defense. But the high-octane affair didn't please Kansas coach Bill Self as much as it did the Allen Fieldhouse fans. BY ASHER FUSCO AFUSCO@KANSAN.COM On Saturday night, Baylor and Kansas put on an offensive show. Fast breaks, fadeaway three-pointers and rim-rattling dunks came one after the other. At the end of it all, the crowd offered the Jayhawks a standing ovation as they hit the century mark for the second time this season and won, 100-90. "Id rather win 80-70 any day of the week." Self said. "Because it's fool's gold – if you give up 90 points in the tournament, you go home." Self's indictment of his team's defense against Baylor brings to light a worrying trend: When Kansas' opponents have been able to speed up the pace of play, they haven't had much trouble scoring. Even though the Jayhawks have made a living on offense by pushing the ball down court with lightning-quick guards, they struggle in transition on the defensive end. College basketball statistics Web site kempom.com compiles team offensive efficiency ratings for each game, with 100 being average. If a team finishes above 100, it had a good offensive outing. A rating below 100 means the team struggled to score. The average college basketball team uses about 67 possessions per game. The numbers In Kansas' only loss, Kansas State didn't play at a relentless pace, but freshman guard Jacob Pullen played aggressively on offense, frequently forcing his way to the charity stripe and making all 10 of his free throws. Most recently the Baylor backcourt adapted to the breakneck speed of the Jayhawk guards. The Bears' top five guards combined to score 79 points and keep the score reasonably close for much of the game. 1 from kenpom.com illustrate when Kansas has used fewer than 67 possessions - playing slower than average - its defense has been phenomenal. In the seven grind-it-out, half court games they have played this season, the Jayhawks haven't allowed an opponent to top 96 on the offensive efficiency scale. In the team's 17 up-tempo contests, three opponents have registered higher than 100 on the offensive end. Granted, there is a difference in sample size, but it's tough to deny that the Jayhawks' ugliest defensive performances have come in run-and-shoot scenarios. In the first game of the season. Louisiana-Monroe visited Lawrence and engaged in an up-and-down battle. Louisiana-Monroe shot 51 percent from the field and tallied 78 points. Unfortunately for the Warhawks, Kansas shot 56 percent and scored 107 points. Sure, fast breaks and alley-oops are fun to watch, but come tournament time, a little patience could pay dividends for Kansas. Kansas was able to weather offensive miscues against Eastern Washington and Colorado, but could have trouble with North Carolina, Duke or Tennessee in March. "When you make shots, sometimes you intense on defense goes away." Self said. "In the tournament or in a late-possession game, you've got to grind it out. When you're not making shots is when you have to be the best." Edited by Mandy Earles As impressive as Kansas' offense has been, there's no guarantee the Jayhawks will stay hot. The jayhawks' inability to stop teams in transition hasn't come back to bite them so far this season because of their offensive prowess. When Missouri picked up the pace, cut down its turnovers and scored 71 points, Kansas scored 90 and won comfortably. When Arizona buried 48 percent of its three-pointers and went to the free-throw line 21 times, Kansas shot 50 percent from the field and snuck past the Wildcats for an overtime victory. opponents' highest field goal percentage Field Goal Opponent Date Percentage Final Score vs. University of Louisiana-Monroe 11/09 51% 107-78 vs. Missouri 02/04 46% 90-71 vs. Arizona 11/25 44% 76-72 at Georgia Tech 12/18 44% 71-66 at Colorado 02/02 44% 72-59 vs. Baylor 02/09 44% 100-90 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2008 trivia of the day On thin ice Q: Who won the 1998 National League Cy Young Award by recording 20 wins and an ERA of 2.477 20 baseball-reference.com fact of the day A: Atlanta Braves pitcher Tom Glavine.

Phoenix goaltender lya Bryzgalov stopped the first 40 shots he faced before Dallas' Steve Ott tied it at 1 at 11:45 of the third period on a shot from the left circle that glanced into the net off the goalie's right shoulder. Bryzgalov finished with 42 saves. Ex-Star Niko Kapaan scored for the Coyotes, but Phoenix lost its fourth game in a row. Marty Turco was back in goal for the Stars after missing the two previous games with a sore neck, making 19 saves.

In winning both games, the Cowgirls became the first team to beat the Bears in conference play and gave the Bears just their second loss overall. Sophomore guard Andrea Riley may garner more of the attention, but five players scored in double figures against the Bears, proving this isn't a one woman show. With two winnable games on the horizon, Oklahoma State has an opportunity to pull even closer to Baylor this week. QU FOUR No. 10 Oklahoma 17-4 [7-2] Last week: at Missouri (W), Colorado (W) This week: Texas A&M, at Baylor This is a make-or-break week for the Sooners. Two victories against teams from the Big 12 North basement aren't the ideal precursors to meetings with what could be the two most talented teams in the conference. The Aggies are just starting to find their groove, and the Bears are nearly unbeatable at home. It won't be easy, but if junior center Courtney Paris can control the paint, Oklahoma has the opportunity to make a strong statement to the rest of the Big 12 with two victories. ATM FIVE No. 20 Texas A&M 17-6 [5-4] Last week: Texas (W) This week: at Oklahoma, Texas Tech Just when people began writing the Aggies off, junior guard/forward Danielle Gant began dragging them back into the race for a top-four finish. In the victory against Texas, Gant dropped 25 points on only 12 shots. A trip to Norman is never easy, but Texas A&M won there last season on its way to a Big 12 championship, so the atmosphere shouldn't intimidate Gary Blair's team. The Aggies have the veteran presence and the past experience to go in and take one from the Sooners. If they can, they will have reeled off five straight victories. N SIX Nebraska 17-7 (6-4) Last week: at Colorado (W), Oklahoma State (L) This week: at Kansas Losing to Oklahoma State at home was disappointing, but not devastating. The Cornhuskers have already blown the Jayhawks out once, but Bonnie Henickson's team has been extremely difficult to beat at Allen Fieldhouse this season. Nebraska will use this week to regroup and refocus as only one of its remaining six games comes against a Big 12 South opponent, lowly Texas Tech. NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

Texas has talent, but in the rough-and-tumble Big 12 South talent only goes so far. The Longhorns are one of only a few teams that have tested the Bears so far this season. Despite losing 61-60 in Waco earlier this year, Texas should feel confident that it can hang with the Big 12 best team. The Longhorns have one of the best coaches in the nation in former Duke coach Gail Goostenkors, and if anyone can engineer an upset she can. Iowa State COLLEGE EIGHT Iowa State 15-7 [4-5] Last week: Texas Tech (W), Missouri (W) This week: Kansas State, at Oklahoma State Victories over two conference bottom-feeders did wonders for the Cyclones confidence. Unfortunately this week's schedule is not nearly as undemanding, Iowa State is perilously thin in the post and Kansas State's Marlies Gipson and Oklahoma State's junior center Maria Cordero and junior forward Shaunte Smith could have their way in the paint. The Cyclones hold a trump card in the form of their potent three-point shooting, but odds are it won't be enough to continue their win streak through the week. KU NINE Despite a heartbreaking loss in the Sunflower Showdown and seven conference losses, Kansas continues to receive votes in the AP Poll. Voters must be basing those votes on potential because the Jayhawks certainly aren't getting the results that come with that sort of national recognition. This week could be the week they show the rest of the conference what their young talent can do. Two games at home against opponents they've already seen once this season should give Kansas hope of walking away with two victories. Whether or not that's possible, remains a mystery.

Last week the Lady Raiders were looking for some sort of consistency. This week they are just desperate for a win.

Freshman center Krysten Boogaard is coming off back-to-back 20 point games and the Jayhawks have matured considerably since hanging their heads throughout the second half of the two team's first meeting. The Buffaloes are in need of a victory, and Boogaard's presence could be offset by their improving frontcourt. Freshman forward Brittany Spears was the Big 12's rookie of the week last week. V TWELVE There isn't much to say about the Tigers that hasn't already been said. Missouri is the worst team in the Big 12 and victories don't appear to be likely anytime soon. Coach Cindy Stein could use the long week of practice to whip her squad into shape, but with Kansas State up next, Missouri is looking at yet another week without a victory. The Tigers have talent, just not enough to compete in the Big 12. Missouri 8-15 [1-9] Last week: Oklahoma (L), at Iowa State (L) This week: Kansas State FOUR DAY SALE ONLY!

VOLS 13 ASSOCIATED PRESS NBA Lakers break triple digits to beat Bobcats CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, Pau Gasol added 26 and the new-look Los Angeles Lakers continued their impressive road trip with a 106-97 win over the reeling Charlotte Bobcats on Monday. The Lakers improved to 4-1 since acquiring Gasol behind Bryant's third straight game scoring 30 or more points. In improving to 6-2 on their nine-game road trip, the Lakers never trailed but struggled to put away the Bobcats. Charlotte cut a 13-point deficit to 89-86 midway through the fourth quarter before wining in their seventh straight loss. Raymond Felton scored 29 points and Nazr Mohammed added 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Bobcats, who matched their longest losing streak of the season. CAVALIERS 118, MAGIC 111 Cleveland's Hughes scores season high ORLANDO, Fla. — Larry Hughes scored a season-high 40 points and LeBron James added 29 and 10 assists as Cleveland won. Hughes scored 23 in the third quarter on 6-for-7 shooting, including two three-pointers and an assortment of drives and jumpers. He hit 9 of 10 free throws in the period. Hedo Turkoglu had 25 points for Orlando, leading all five starters in double figures, while Dwight Howard had 16 points and nine rebounds. Howard scored 10 in the first quarter, but struggled the rest of the way as Cleveland collapsed inside with double- and triple-teams. Orlando lost its second straight, and third of a five-game home stretch before the All-Star break. 76ERS 84,MAVERICKS 76 Sixers eye eighth spot in Eastern Conference PHILADELPHIA — Andre Miller scored 21 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to their fourth straight win. Andre lguodala finished with 14 points, including a pair of jumps during a late 12-1 run that helped the Sixers pull away and earn a rare standing ovation from the home crowd. Miller, the Eastern Conference player of the week, is a big reason why the Sixers are suddenly thinking about a playoff push. Philadelphia has won the first four games of a five-game homestead and moved a half-game behind idle New Jersey for the eight spot in the Eastern Conference. Josh Howard led the short-handed Mavericks with 17 points before leaving in the fourth with a back injury, and Dirk Nowitzki added 15. 1 SPURS 93, RAPTORS 88 Toronto loses at home career high for Calderon TORONTO — Manu Ginobili scored a season-high 34 points and added a career-high 15 rebounds, leading the San Antonio Spurs.

San Antonio's only defeat in that time was a 98-90 loss at Boston on Sunday. Ginobill had 21 points in 19 first-half minutes, scored three more in the third, then helped put the game away with 10 in the fourth. Toronto's Jose Calderon scored a career-high 27 as the Raptors dropped their third straight at home. San Antonio has won 10 of its past 12 against Toronto.

That's the way it's gone for the Longhorns. Last season, they had freshman superstar Kevin Durant. He took home more awards than Amy Winehouse. Earlier this year, Texas guard D.J. Augustin appeared poised to do the same. Now, after struggling in a 72-69 victory against Kansas, his chances of getting national recognition are getting Russell Robinson, Sherron Collins and Mario Chalmers, who got burned repeatedly by Baylor's Currys ferrilles on Saturday, kept Augustin in front of KU's the entire game, restoring KU's reputation of having a solid defensive backcourt. Augustin's struggles did little to soothe Chalmers' pain. half. He seemed to spend more time on the floor in the first half than on his feet. "I think it's frustrating. I figured we could have won, but some other guys stepped up late." MARIO CHALMERS Kansas Guard slimmer and slimmer. The Longhorns guard scored just 10 points, 1 of 13 field goals and missed a free throw that would've made Mario Chalemers' heave at the buzzer irrelevant before it flew off target. Not what you would expect from someone regarded as a front-runner for national player of the year two months ago. Jon Goering/KANSAN KAM "I think it's frustrating," he said. "I figured we could have won, but some other guys stepped up late." The game continued Augustin's streak of disappointing performances. He made just 18 of his last It became obvious Augustin would have a tough night from the very beginning. On his first drive to the hoop, Brandon Rush rejected him, and Augustin fell to the ground. Kansas blocked Augustin twice in the first 61 field goals in the four games before the Kansas game. In one of those games, against Baylor, he scored only nine points. Junior guard Mario Chaimers and senior guard Russell Robinson nearly steal the ball from Texas guard D.J. Augustin during the final minute of the game. Texas turned the ball over just eight times in the game. Fatigue might be the problem. Augustin is only 6-feet tall and plays an average of 37 minutes a game. Those minutes take a toll on a small body. His decline didn't hurt Texas on Monday night, though. Plenty of other players filled in and gave the Longhorns the victory. Connor Atchley didn't miss from the outside, scoring 16 points. Damion James scored 14 points after sitting for most of the first with foul trouble. A.J. Abrams and Justin Mason helped out, too, getting key offensive rebounds down the stretch player of the year might be fading, but he and his teammates are doing enough to maintain Texas' reputation as one of the top teams in the country. in position for a Big 12 title.

The tournament, which was held Wednesday through Friday at the 6,738 yard Waikoloa Village Golf Course, where par is 70, started the spring season for the lavihawks. Kansas finished 14th out of 18 teams with a total score of 858, 45 strokes behind tournament champion and Golfweek's No. 8 college ranked team, Stanford. According to the Golfweek performance ratings, the tournament featured eight of the top 50 teams in the country. The jayhawks' finish tied its 14th place finish in last year's Hilo Invitational. "It was the first competition of the season," coach Kit Grove said. "There's a lot of rust right now because we haven't played in a while." Freshman walk-on Brad Hopfinger and sophomore Bobby Knowles led the Jayhawks individually. Hoptingtied for 26th out of 96 players overall and started the first round with a career-best score of 66. He followed up the second round with 74 strokes. In the third round, "As a walk-on, he exceeds all expectations of what you want out of a player." Grove said. "You wish you could have 10 more like him." Hofinger shot a 70, giving him a three-day total of 210 strokes. Knowles started the first round with a score of 73. Knowles continued to build off a solid start by scoring a 72 and a 71 in the second and third rounds, respectively. "I was able to build on that success each day, which is something I haven't done before," said Knowles, whose 216 total tied him for 58th overall. Freshman Nate Barbee tied for 68th place with a total of 217 strokes. Junior Walt Koelbelt tied for 83rd place with a total of 221 strokes and junior Zach Pederson finished in 91st place with 227 strokes. The team finished each round in 14th place. "We placed 14th, but we played against some of the best competition in the country," Knowles said. "Overall, it was a great time to be in Hawaii." The team's next competition will be Feb. 25-26 in the All-American Golf Classic in Houston. The Jayhawks will be attempting to defend their team title in last year's tournament. Edited by Nick Mangiaracina BIG 12 BASKETBALL Knight's son fills big shoes, feels pressure of job U Texas Tech coach Pat Knight, center, greets his players, including Tech forward Mike Singletary (32) and Charlie Burgess (42), as they take a time out in the first half the game against Baylor in Waco, Texas, on Wednesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pat Knight's first plan was to start his career as a head coach at some small "safe" school, far away from the imposing shadow his father would cast. But then he realized how much he loved Texas Tech. So the son of the winningest Division I coach in basketball history happily stepped right into Bob Knight's shoes last week when his father unexpectedly resigned. "I never wanted to take over for my dad," the younger Knight said Monday, exactly one week after succeeding the elder Knight as the Red Raiders' head coach. "But then it got to a point where I really liked living here in Lubbock and I really liked the people. I love the university and I think we can really keep building onto something special here." After 42 years, three national championships and 902 wins, Bob Knight surprised even his family when he stepped down, handling the keys to the program to a son who two years earlier had been named head coach-designate. The younger Knight said during the Big 12's weekly coaches teleconference Monday that he changed his mind about succeeding his dad a couple of years ago. "I don't think I would have been able to live with myself if I'd taken a different route, maybe a safer route, try to go to a smaller school or work it that way. Really, I just thought 'What the heck, I love it here,' he said. "There's no sense uprooting myself, my wife, away from a place I like to live just because of circumstances — following my dad's footsteps, what are people going to say, pressure." The timing could have been better. His first two games were on the road, at Baylor and at Nebraska, which led to two losses and dropped Tech's record to 12-10 overall and 3-5 in the Big 12. He'll still be looking for his first win when No. 18 Kansas State and super freshman Michael Beasley come calling Wednesday night. "I kind of got baptized by fire," he said. "But the only bad thing is, I come off the road and now I've got to go face Michael Beasley. So it's still not getting any easier." One of Knight's closest friends is Oklahoma State Coach Sean Sutton, who probably understands what he's going through as well as anyone in the world. The son of legendary coach Eddie Sutton, Sean was head coach-designate at Oklahoma State when his dad unexpectedly stepped down in February of 2006. Sutton doesn't think Bob Knight did Pat any favors by leaving during the season. "He's going to get the experience of calling time outs. He's going to get the experience of making substitutions," Sutton said. "But ... he's TEVLA LETH 32 42 Texas Tech coach Pat Knight, center, greets his players, including Tech forward Mike Singletary (32) and Charlie Burgess (42), as they take a time out in the first half game against Baylor in Waco, Texas, on Wednesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS stepping in with a really young team, going up against a pretty difficult schedule. All of a sudden, if he doesn't do as well, you wonder how the people are going to respond out there. I don't think it ever helps when something like that happens in the middle of a season." "It was not the easiest thing by any means," he said. "But Pat's got a lot of support. I'll continue to support him and do everything I can to help him." Sutton finished the season 5-6 after his father turned over the job to him. "He's always going to be around, even if he's out of town. He's always going to be able to be around for me to contact," he said. Knight said he plans to talk frequently with Sutton, and will not be bashful about making full use of his dad's advice. Pat Katrin doubts his dad will ever coach again. But he's not absolutely certain. "But then again, it's a great mind sitting out there. Who knows? After a couple of years, maybe. But right now I don't see it because I know how miserable he was, and how bad he was feeling when he got out." "He was tired. He was really tired," he said. "He was just worn out. I tell you, he looks better than he's looked in a long time. Relaxed. Feels good. I told him he's going to look better than me in about a week. Another Big 12 coach who followed his famous dad into coaching would advise Pat Knight not to pretend that there isn't any pressure, "A lot of times sons follow dads in their chosen profession," said Baylor's Scott Drew, who took over for his father, Homer Drew, for one year at Valparaiso. "You feel like you do have big shoes to fill and you don't want to let them down, or the fans down. So I know there is that pressure." 》 NASCAR Drivers rev-up fans with antics 》 ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Two-time series champion Jimmie Johnson took a trip to the Florida Keys. Crew chief Tony Eury Jr. visited Sea World. And some of NASCAR's top officials played golf. Cheating scandals rocked the Daytona 500 the previous two years, tarnishing NASCAR's most prestigious event and turning the attention to the uglier side of racing. It made for a busy Monday and Tuesday at Daytona, which is traditionally closed to crews on those two days of Speedweeks. Five teams were popped last season and six people were kicked out of the season opener, nearly turning NASCAR into a national laughing-stock in the days leading up to the Super Bowl of racing. Not so this year. The only Speedweeks drama so far has revolved around an alleged fat joke to Tony Stewart that may have earned Kurt Busch a left book. It Instead, NASCAR officials huddled in their offices to determine punishments, while the offending teams waited nervously for the hammer to drop. All was quiet — for a change — at Dayton International Speedway on Monday, just the way NASCAR wanted it. apparently happened in the NASCAR hauler — no one involved will discuss the particulars — but that hasn't stopped the entire garage from spreading a tale that's growing faster than Stewart's hair. And it did. they headed toward pit road. "We want the drivers to be themselves," president Mike Hiteon said, "Our sport has done very well on (its) character ... and the character of the sport is built by all the drivers that participate, as well as owners, the other penalties." So when Stewart and Busch tangled during a lively practice session on the first day of the season, the entire industry waited to see how NASCAR would react. The drivers made contact on the track, and an angry Busch repeatedly slammed his car into the side of Stewart's as "You've got to have something to keep the fans excited and say 'Hey, this is my man.' " The attention had shifted away from that in recent years, with sagging television ratings and a decline in attendance as fans grew bored with the racing and bland drivers afraid to show any emotion. France heard the rumblings and began to rethink NASCAR's behavioral guidelines. NASCAR opened this year hoping to get back to the basics. After several changes, large and small, to its top series, chairman Brian France wants to make 2008 be about the action on the track and the characters who comprise the most popular form of racing in the United States. But, hey, that sure beats talking about cheating. A heated argument ensued inside, and perhaps even a punch. Unable to get the drivers to cool off, NASCAR kicked them out of the truck and told them to return in the morning when they'd calmed down a bit. That second meeting was used to warn both drivers to steer clear of each other and stop messing around. NASCAR reserved the right to penalize them, but so far has done nothing. Stewart then blocked the entrance to the garage with his car, and appeared to be trying to get out of his car when his crew members rushed onto pit road to intercept him. Busch then drove his car around Stewart's, and both drivers were called to NASCAR's office. Car owner Richard Childress said the entire incident was good for the sport. "You've got to have a little controversy thrown in there," he said. "You've got to have something to keep the fans excited and say 'Hey, this is my man,' I kind of enjoyed seeing it. As long as nobody gets hurt, a little scuffling never hurt anybody." The incident certainly didn't hurt NASCAR, as overnight television ratings for both Saturday night's Budweiser Shootout and Sunday's qualifying for the Daytona 500 were RICHARD CHILDRESS car owner both up from 2007. Fox's broadcast of the Shootout was up 7.1 percent from last year, while qualifying was up 8 percent. Dale Earnhardt Jr., winner of Saturday night's race, came to Daytona skeptical of NASCAR's plan to allow more emotion. But after watching the drama surrounding Busch vs. Stewart unfold, he changed his mind. Not only does he now believe NASCAR is going to loosen the reigns, he thinks it will help lure fans back to the sport. "I think the Web sites, the hits over the last 24 hours, 48 hours, I've heard some good things about that. It just brought a lot of attention to this race," he said. "Speedweeks, you know, they needed a shot in the arm and what happened in practice gave it that." "I think they are going to go back to letting us run over each other, so just get ready. I'm going to walk around with my dukes up all day long. Be ready, I'm telling you, you got to watch both hands." This is the stuff NASCAR wants people talking about. The excitement of Saturday night's race, the fabulous finish in which Earnhardt pushed past Stewart to steal the win, and the feud between two former champions. Series officials claim they want to return NASCAR to the way it was when the fans fell in love with it. So far they're off to a pretty good start. Engineering & Computer Science Career Fair TALK 2.

Simpson told jailers he had been planning to host a poker game at his home in Miami before he was brought to Las Vegas to spend several nights behind bars, according to a television program transcript released Monday. "I didn't expect to be back here so soon," Simpson laughed as he was greeted by a Las Vegas police jail officer, according to the transcript from producers of the MyNetworkTV show "jail." A crew was already filming at the Clark County Detention Center when the former football star was brought in by his former bail bondson on Jan. 11, said Morgan Langley, an executive producer. "It was not something we were expecting," Langley said of Simpson's appearance, which Langley said drew cheers from other people in an intake waiting room at the jail. "It was a little bit strange." The segment is scheduled for broadcast tonight at 9 p.m. Simpson's lawyers did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment Monday. Simpson and two other men are due for trial April 7 on charges including kidnapping and armed robbery stemming from a Sept. 13 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas casino hotel. He was brought back to Las Vegas for allegedly violating terms of his release on $125,000 bail by trying to contact a codedefendant in his armed robbery case. A judge doubled his bail. According to the transcript, Simpson said he was having a good day until he was brought back to Las Vegas. "I used to love coming to Vegas," Simpson tells a jailer. "Now [I] hate it." "I had a poker game tonight at my house that I was hosting and today I finally found my golf swing," he says. Simpson returned to Miami after posting the new bail amount.

Meantime, the chairman of a congressional committee said comments attributed to one of the pitcher's lawyers could be interpreted as trying to intimidate a federal law enforcement official. Clemens gave a five-hour deposition last week to staff lawyers of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform prior to Wednesday's public hearing. McNamee, former personal trainer to the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, gave a seven-hour deposition. "I think there will be a criminal prosecution after Wednesday, and that means there will be grand jury proceedings and subsequent proceedings," Richard Emery, one of McNamee's attorneys, said Sunday. "I don't see there any possibility that Brian has any inroads." Only one has any jeopardy. I or bility of Clemens getting investigated by Justice, whether or not Congress refers it." Told of Emery's comments, Rusty Hardin, Clemens' lead lawyer, said: "They have consistently acted and indi- A message left Sunday night requesting Justice Department comment was not immediately returned. "Our position is very simple: Roger did not take steroids, he did not use human growth hormone, and he has demonstrated that he is willing to repeatedly testify under oath as to the truth of those matters," Hardin said. accusations Clemens has repeatedly denied. Both are set to testify Wednesday on Capitol Hill in what figures to be a day of high drama. cated that they have a pipeline to agents of the Department of Justice. Whether they do or not, it certainly raises a lot of questions of whether what's going on here is proper. So I'm not going to express any predictions of what will or will not happen." McNamee says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone at least 16 times in 1998, 2000 and 2001. McNamee last month gave the Justice Department what he says are needles from times Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs, evidence that the pitcher's legal team says is manufactured. Emery said he thinks there will be a Justice Department investigation of Clemens even if the committee doesn't ask for one. "I only see the possibility of Clemens getting investigated by justice, whether or not Congress refers it." Rep. Henry Waxman, the committee chairman, wrote a letter to Hardin part of its probe into the Mitchell Report, in which McNamee went public with his accusations against Clemens. The same com- "It certainly raises a lot of questions of whether what's going on here is proper."

"It is not your client's prerogative to dictate who attends or does not attend the hearing. ... I trust you did not intend your comments to be a signal that there could be adverse repercussions to a federal law enforcement official for attending the hearing or taking other official actions." "I do not know your intent in making this statement, but under one interpretation it can be seen an attempt to intimidate a federal law enforcement official in the performance of his The committee called this hearing as that inquiry. mittee last month asked the justice Department to investigate whether former AL MVP Miguel Tejada lied when he told staff in 2005 that he never took illegal performance-enhancing drugs and had no knowledge of other players using or talking about steroids. The FBI's field office in Washington is handling Barry Bonds, baseball's career home run leader, was indicted in November on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice in connection with grand jury testimony in which he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens spent two days visiting congressmen last week and may again on Tuesday. "By comparing Clemens only to those who were successful in the second act of their careers, rather than to all pitchers who had a similarly successful first act, the report artificially minimizes the chances that Clemens' numbers will seem unusual. Statisticians call this problem selection bias," professors Eric Bradlow, Shane Jensen, Justin Wolters and Adi Wyner wrote in Sunday's Times. They compared Clemens' ERA and walks plus-hits-per-inning with those of 31 pitcher since 1968 with 3,000 innings and 10 or more starts in at least 15 seasons. "The available data on Clemens's career strongly hint that some unusual factors may have been at play in producing his excellent late-career statistics," they said, while adding, "in any analysis of his career statistics, it is impossible to say whether this unusual factor was performance-enhancing drugs." DOG SHOW Beagles make a comeback during the Westminster show ASSOCIATED PRESS 10 Now that's one great beagle. NEW YORK — Uno barked at his handler, bayed at the crowd, tried to grab his leash and took a flying leap at a piece of filet mignon. Oh, and he gnawed away at a newly printed sign. His white-tipped tail in perpetual motion, Uno turned the green carpet of Madison Square Garden into his own personal backyard. On Monday night, he became the first beagle to win the hound group at the Westminster Kennel Club show since 1939 — that's 483 years, in dog years. Uno, a 15-inch beagle, looks up at his handler during the hound group competition at the 132nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Monday at Madison Square Garden in New York. Uuno won best in the hound group. "Snoopy would be proud," handler Aaron Wilkerson said earlier. "He was being his merry little hound self." Westminster has presented best in show 100 times and a beagle has never won. Uno's victory assured him a place in the final seven Tuesday night at America's No. 1 dog event. Beagles are always among the most popular dogs in the country, yet Wilkerson was at a loss to explain why they've never done better here. While best in show will be presented later, the precocious package of personality certainly deserved one title: noisiest in show. ASSOCIATED PRESS "Ah-roo! " his hows echoed all over the arena. It didn't take much to get Uno going, either. A click of a spectator's pen, a wave of the judge's hand, any effort by Wilkerson to hush him. "Ah-roo!" COLLEGE BASKETBALL Tennessee inches by Rutgers in championship rematch KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Nicky Anosike sank two free throws with two-tenths of a second left and No. 1 Tennessee rallied to beat No. 5 Rutgers 59-58 on Monday night in a rematch of last season's national championship game. Trailing 58-57. Anosike grabbed an offensive rebound and was grabbed by Kia Vaughn from behind. Unclear whether the foul had come before time expired, the Rutgers bench began to celebrate, but officials reviewed the play and determined that the foul had been committed just before the buzzer. Also roaming around the rings: a niece of Vivi, the award-winning whippet who ran away at John F. Kennedy International Airport two years ago, and the daughter of Rufus, the colored bull terrier that won the 2006 Westminster with a football-sized noggin. Television replays showed the game clock seemed to pause as Anosike came down with the ball and two-tenths remained on the clock, leading to the controversial finish. A perfectly trimmed toy poodle, a top Sealylam terrier and a prized Akita were among the 2,627 entries at this year's show. The dogs came in 169 breeds and varieties, and there were four newly sanctioned types — the Tibetan mastiff, Beauceron, Swedish hallvand and Plott. Candace Parker, who bruised her knee in the Lady Vols' last game, had 27 points and 10 rebounds, and Angie Bjorklund added 13. Anosike canly stepped up and hit the two free throws to seal the victory. Though the movie "Underdog" was a big winner last year, a beagle is forever a long shot at the Garden. Tri-colored and nearly 3. The terrier, nonporting and herding groups were also to be judged Monday night. Judge J. Donald Jones, formerly a dean at Emory University, will point to his choice as best in show right before 11 p.m. Tuesday. Epiphanny Prince had 21 points for Rutgers, and Essence Carson added 18. The Lady Vols shot a perfect 12-for-12 from the free throw line in the first half, but went 11-for-18 from the line in the second half for an unusually low 61.1 percent. with pleading, golden-brown eyes and a most playful nature. Uuno hoped to break out of the Westminster doghouse. His official name is K-Run's Park Me in First, and he tapped 12 other entries in the 15-inch beagle category It was the first time in history the Scarlet Knights have played four ranked opponents in a row, having also faced No. 18 Pittsburgh and No. 11 West Virginia. Not that he lorded it over his fellow pooches, the way a Lhasa Apsos or Saluki might. Instead, Uuno tried to join in when the other beagles were excused from the ring. Wilkerson held him still on the trophy stand and it worked, for about 10 seconds. Beagles also come in the 13-inch variety, though both types can come from the same litter. In show terms, Uno is a "big beagle." ranked show dog in the nation. Uno already has won 32 best in show titles and finished 2007 as the sixth- He retreated to the safety of his cake after this latest win, complete with his favorite stuffed frog toy and a fluffy pillow sporting a Hollywood star. Judge Ralph Lemcke picked Uno over 25 others in the hound group, praising his "soft expression" and the perfect "brush on his tail". "He could run all day in the field," Lemcke said.

No. 5 UCLA never could put together such a run against Washington. Tyler Hansbrough scored 13 of his 39 points in the two overtime matches to help the Tar Heels rally from a 15-point deficit and beat Clemson 103-93, keeping North Carolina perfect in 53 games against the Tigers in Chapel Hill. In Seattle, justin Dentmon, benched in favor of a freshman for most of the season, scored 20 points to lead pre- Woody Mayward Washington to a 71-61 upset of the Bruins. Wayne Ellington added 28 points for the Tar Heels (22-2, 7-2 ACC), who set an NCAA record for the longest home winning streak against one opponent. The previ ous record was 52, set by Princeton against Brown from 1929-2002. North Carolina did it by shaking an emotionally draining loss to No. 2 Duke and proving it could win without injured point guard Ty Lawson, erasing Clemson's 11-point lead in the final 3 minutes of regulation. The game was just as unforgettable with Lawson out, came up with some key plays late. The senior hit a driving shot to force the first overtime and two free throws to force the second, finishing with sx points and a career-best nine assists. for the Tigers (17-6, 5-4), but for all the wrong reasons. They got off to a terrific start behind their fullcourt pressure, forcing the Tar Heels on their first five possessions, taking an "We never gave up," said Hansbrough, who is averaging 29.7 points and 17.3 rebounds over his last three games.

I have to step up." Kevin Love, the Bruins' leading scorer at 17.7 points per game coming in, missed five of his first seven shots and finished with 13 points on just 3-of-8 shooting.

Commissioners voted unanimously to put together a plan to use the increase in tax revenue — new money the hotel brings to the city — to reimburse some of the estimated $11 million that project developers are required to invest into public improvements. In order for the Oread Inn to go up at the north entrance of campus, the project developers, led by the Gene Fritzel Construction Company, must invest a projected $5 million into basic improvements of the area and $6 million into a new underground parking garage. Developers agreed to both of these as long as the city would reimburse $5 to $7.1 million of the project using the increase in tax revenue the hotel is expected to bring to the city. Matthew Gough, an attorney representing the Oread project's interests, said the specifics of the reimbursement plan would be decided at a future meeting. "The only thing that's official tonight is that the city has adopted an ordinance to form the tax incremental financing of the project," Gough said. Without the commission's decision to look into some sort of reimbursement plan, project developers wouldn't be able to afford All five commissioners also voted to rezone the area for planned commercial development and voted in favor of the demolition of the structures located at 1140, 1142 and 1144 on Indiana Street and 618, 619 and 620 on West 12th Street. the $37 million project, and the Oread Inn would have become a dead issue, said David Longhurst, a representative of the development company. While the meeting included minor discussions about the number of floors the hotel should be allowed to have, no development plans for the project were officially approved. City manager Dave Corliss said the public would get a chance to comment on the official redevelopment plan in a future meeting. Dissenters outnumbered The main topic was the tax incremental financing of the project. supporters at the meeting as some Lawrence residents voiced concern about how the project would be financed. Allen Ford, professor of business at the University of Kansas, said he was concerned that people associated with the Oread project were assuming numbers they couldn't predict. "One of the biggest assumptions is that this project will experience a 1 percent growth every year," Ford said. "I don't think anyone would make an investment in a restaurant, hotel or anything that assumes that it will have a 1 percent it will have a 1 percent growth every year." people associated with the project said the Oread hotel would offer. Most of the Lawrence residents who voiced support for the proposal, such as Kirk Deplore, pointed to the 120 jobs that "I believe this to be a valuable project that creates a very healthy payroll" said Deplore. "And what the heck, it's going to enhance the neighborhood for free." **Tikz** is a **raster** design of the planked vector of the south side of the Oracad Inst. LAWRENCE Bars, traffic raise safety issues Neighborhood near campus could be unsafe BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com A young man darted across the street at the corner of 14th and Tennessee streets at approximately 11:45 p.m. on Saturday. With a "Dont Walk Sign" flashing, the man headed for the SafeBus parked on the street corner. The man was a mere five minute walk from the corner of 13th and Kentucky streets — the intersection where former University of Kansas student Ryan Kanost was killed in a hit-and-run accident while crossing the street on Sept. 23, 2006. On Monday, Josh Walton was convicted of two misdemeanors: vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an injury accident. He'll face up to two years in a county jail "People tend to forget there are cars that are driving along those streets, too." According to crime statistics from the Lawrence Police Department's Web site, the Oread Neighborhood experienced fewer cases of DUI arrests during the first few months of 2007, compared with 2006. In 2006, 27 DUI arrests were made in Neighborhood Area 10B - the location of the Wheel, the Hawk and The Bull, as well as Kanoat's death. Nearly 18 months later, pedestrian safety in the near-campus Oread Neighborhood, commonly know to students as the "student ghetto" is still a concern among University students. The neighborhood covers the area from Ninth and 17th streets to Missouri and Massachusetts streets, excluding campus. Three popular bars – The Wheel, The Hawk and The Bull – increase the heavy pedestrian traffic, and the neighborhood contains multiple one-way streets.

Fellers said. Sergeant Paul Fellers, a Lawrence Police Department spokesperson, said the number of officers on duty depends on the number of officers available. "While 14th and Ohio is a popular area, officers are responsible for the entire city of Lawrence. Occasionally when manpower "It is unsafe because drunk people, in general, will walk across the street, and not pay attention." Christine Peterson, Topeka junior, said. "The police department continues to focus as many resources as possible to deter and arrest impaired drivers," Fellers said. "The Police Department appreciates and will respond to Through June of 2007, only seven DUI arrest had been made. Statistics from July to December 2007 are not currently available on the Web site.

Graphic by Bryan Marvin/KANSAN reports from the public regarding individuals driving under the influence." Nazar Kanchwal, Chicago freshman, and DeMario Luttrell, Des Moines, Iowa, freshman, stood on the corner of 14th and Ohio streets Saturday. "I feel like when you're in a group of people its safer than when you're alone," Kanchwal said about walking around the neighborhood at night. "I wouldn't walk around alone, but I would walk around in a group." Lutrell said the number of drunk students leaving the area bars can lead to problems. "If people are stumbling out into the streets and stuff, it can be dangerous." Luttrell said. The heavy pedestrian traffic in the Oread Neighborhood can cause trouble for cars as well. Many Greek organizations have designated drivers programs to prevent drunk driving. The Gamma Phi Beta sorority designates members for SADD - Sisters Against Drunk Driving - duty on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Ashley Blanchat, Wichita sophomore, said she's done SADD duty about five times. "It gets stressful," Blanchat said. "People tend to forget there are cars that are driving along those streets, too." With three bars in a one block radius, Blanchat said dropping people off and picking people up can be a headache. "There's no safe place to drop people off!" Blanchat said. "People get annoyed when you stop, and they try to go around you as people are getting out of your car." Peterson said some of the safety responsibilities fell to the pedestrians. "People don't pay attention, they just sort of glance for cars," Peterson said. "But people don't know how fast cars are coming.

KATIE GEORGE Lawrence sophomore reaches deal to end strike ENTERTAINMENT Writers' union votes, reaches deal to end strike LOS ANGELES — Striking Hollywood writers are going back to work. The Writers Guild of America said its members voted Tuesday to end their devastating, three-month strike that brought the entertainment industry to a standstill. Writers will go back to work Wednesday after voting in Beverly Hills and New York. "At the end of the day, everybody won. It was a fair deal and one that the companies can live with, and it recognizes the large contribution that writers have made to the industry," said Leslie Moonves, chief executive officer of CBS Corp. The strike's end would allow many hit series to return this spring for what's left of the current season, aliring anywhere from four to seven new episodes. "It will be all hands on deck for the writing staff," said Chris Mundy co-executive producer of CBS' drama "Criminal Minds." He hopes to get a couple of scripts in the pipeline right away, with about seven episodes airing by the end of May. The combined New York-Beverly Hills count was overwhelmingly in favor of ending the strike: 3,492 voted yes, with only 283 voting to stay off the job. The union's board approved a deal Sunday giving writers a share of the growing revenue from programs offered on the internet and other new media. POLITICS Obama moves past Clinton for first time in race "Tonight we're on our way," he told cheering supporters in Madison, Wis. "But we know how much further we have to go on," Obama added, celebrating eight straight victories over Clinton, the former first lady now struggling in a race she once commanded. WASHINGTON — Barack Obama powered past Hillary Rodham Clinton in the race for Democratic convention delegates Tuesday, scoring outsized primary victories in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia on a night of triumph. The Associated Press count of delegates showed Obama with 1,186. Clinton had 1,181, falling behind for the first time since the campaign began. Neither was close to the 2,025 needed to win the nomination. His victories were by large margins — he was gaining about 75 percent of the vote in the nation's capital and about two-thirds in Virginia. In all, there were 168 Democratic delegates at stake in primaries in those states and the District of Columbia. Obama moved past Clinton in the delegate chase on the basis of Tuesday's primaries and newly released results from last Saturday's Washington caucuses. Delegates still to be allocated from his new victories were certain to add to his lead. McCain adds to delegate total with winning streak WASHINGTON — Republican front-runner John McCain won all three GOP primaries Tuesday, in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, adding to his insurmountable lead in delegates for the Republican nomination. "We know where either of their candidates will lead this country, and we dare not let them," he said of the Democrats. "They will paint a picture of the world in which America's mistakes are a greater threat to our security than the malevolent intentions of an enemy that despises us and our ideals." McCain's victory in Virginia was a relatively close one, the result of an outpouring of religious conservatives who backed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Four in 10 Republican voters said they were born again or evangelical Christians — twice as many as called themselves members of the religious right in 2000—and nearly 70 percent of them supported Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister. or In a twist, Huckabee was running slightly ahead of McCain among independents, who cast about a fifth of the Republican votes there. There were 113 delegates at stake in the three GOP races. The AP count showed McCain with 789 delegates. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who dropped out of the race last week, had 288. Huckabee had 241 and Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 14. Associated Press on campus The workshop "People Admin Hiring Manager Training" will begin at 8:30 a.m. in 31 Carruth-O'Leary.

The Student Advertising Program buys a half-page of advertising space in The Kansan every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Currently, only student groups with open membership can use the free advertising space to promote events. The bill would allow student groups that require application or have selective membership, such as greek organizations, performing arts organizations and scholarship halls, to advertise events that would be open to all students. Leslie Rhoton, Lawrence junior and president of the Pannellenic Association, said that community service was a main goal for Greek organizations. She said chapters sometimes faced problems finding the money for advertising their events. "There's this view that Panhellenic has an expendable fund of money to fund projects," Rhoton said. She said the advertising space would allow organizations to promote events without a charge, which would help with the budget of their projects. Greek organizations put on many philanthropic events throughout the year, such as hold pancake breakfasts, golf tournaments and walks to support various charities, Rhoton said. Alex Rock, Lawrence junior and Interfraternity Council president, said that not allowing groups with selective membership to advertise events in this space didn't make sense. He said the groups were often looking for a way to advertise a philanthropic cause. "It cuts out of overhead that we would otherwise be able to donate to the organizations." Rock said. He said some of the advertising space was going unused right now. He said advertising these events would be another way for people on campus to get involved. Emily Williams, Overland Park senior and the Panhellenic Association senator, said that having student advertising in The Kansan was a great resource and without the space it was hard to market a program to the entire campus. "These are good programs that are put on to benefit the community." Williams said. Vaishali Gala is a Hays junior and an officer in AIESEC, a group that works to eliminate cultural stereotypes and has selective membership. The group facilitates internships in the U.S. for foreign students and also sends local students overseas. She said the group didn't have enough money to buy regular advertising space. "A lot of people don't know what AIESEC is," Gala said. "Advertising would really get the word out." Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and writer of the bill, expects it to do well in Student Senate tonight. He said the issue has come up multiple times in Senate and failed each time, but that organizations have made it known that they want to be able to use the space. When the bill was discussed last week in the finance committee, Senators voted to add an amendment that would give priority with advertising space to student organizations with open membership. "I think there's some concern that organizations that don't require membership would get pushed aside," Rock said.

Class to teach students financial skills BY HALEY JONES editor@kansan.com A new class sponsored by Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., will teach students how to be socially responsible with their money. The financial management class aims to promote a holistic view of personal finances.

The focus of the class will be learning how to deal with money in a diverse world," Masterson said. "Financial management is such an important thing for people to know and not something that The class begins Monday, March 1, and will meet four times in March. ECM has recruited faculty and representatives from local banks and businesses to give the weekly lectures. The class is free and there is no deadline to register. Masterson said she expected a large number of students to register, but also hoped to see faces from the local community. “There's absolutely no obligation," Masterson said. "If you see [a session] that's interesting, just showing up is awesome. We'll have a lot of time for questions and discussion." After each speaker, the class will break down into confidential five-person groups to discuss the topic in relation to their own lives. Thad Holcombe, campus pastor at ECM, said that the focus of the class would be saving for the public good. Holcombe said he wanted to provide a safe place for people to talk about their lives and careers, but more importantly their vocation. "Vocation is knowing how you can use your deepest joys to meet the world's greatest hurts." Holcombe said.

Members of the KU Endowment Association didn't think the bill would be beneficial for the University because endowment donors were specific about where they wanted their donation to be spent. Illustration by Max Rinke BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com If two senators have their way, the University of Kansas will have to start spending five percent of its endowment. The senators hope the mandate would encourage universities to decrease tuition and spend more of their endowed funds on financial assistance for students. But University officials said such a mandate is unnecessary and it ultimately would not benefit students. "From our perspective, a federal regulation on the management of private endowments and mandating polices on what private donors contribute and they entrust to the Endowment Association, who they expect to carry out their wishes, would be an unprecedented and unnecessary intrusion," said Dale Seuferling, president of the KU Endowment Association. Last fall, a rumor began circulating among university administrators and newspapers that a new federal bill would force universities that had more than $500 million in their endowments to use 5 percent of those funds each year. If a university refused, the federal government would begin taxing those funds. Last month, U.S. Senators Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) requested information about it from the University about KU Endowment Association and its spending patterns. Although a bill has not yet been created, the University is worried. Seuflerung said he understood the government's concerns about the rising cost of tuition, but he said each university would be a better judge of how to use its endowed funds. He also said funding scholarships was already KU Endowment's top priority. Seuferling said such a policy would be aimed at schools such as Harvard, which have large endowments but weren't spending those funds on increasing financial aid for students. He said he thought the policy unintentionally included schools like the University, which has a $1.2 billion endowment and has the 60th largest endowment among all universities and the 20th largest among public universities. The University was one of 136 universities that received information requests. Seuferling said the association used to spend 5 percent of its funds, but that over the last four years it decreased the amount to 4.6 percent because of the dramatic change in the market. Seuferling said a mandated five percent payout could be hazardous to the University in the future and if so, it would be a hassle to get the policy changed. Seuferling also said the congressmen did not understand the nature of endowed funds. He said donors, not the University, decided what specific programs and scholarships they wanted to support, so it is sometimes hard for the association to increase the amount of funding to a certain area. The University has a $1.2 billion endowment and has the 60th largest endowment among all universities and the 20 largest among public universities. endowment expenditures Keith Yehle, director of federal relations at the University, said the University's administrative staff, including the Chancellor, Robert Hemenway, and the Provost, Richard Lariviere, traveled to Washington DC. last week to discuss issues like Only 33 percent of the University's budget is funded by the state and tuition, which means about 66 percent of the University's budget is funded by private gifts. This year, KU Endowment is providing approximately $26 million for scholarships, fellowships and awards, which is a 10.6 percent increase from last year. More than 5,400 students receive support from KU Endowment. More than 80 professorships are supported by KU Endowment, totaling more than $20 million for faculty support. Source: KU Endowment Association this one with the senators and representatives from Kansas. He said he thought the University's message was well-received. U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) said he understood the University's concerns, but there was plenty of time to discuss the issue because the bill is just in the research stage. He said he was unsure when the bill would be finished. "I've told people here sometimes congress identifies a very serious problem and in trying to fix it they overact," Moore said. "I don't think the have their expertise to be directing universities how to use their endowment funds. You pull one way and you can end up going too far sometimes." —Edited by Madeline Hyden 》 SCHOLARSHIPS BY KELSEY HAYES khayes@kansan.com Nearly 15,000 high school students will be named National Merit Finalists before the end of February. It is Gail Sherron's job to persuade them to come to the University of Kansas. Sherron, associate director of the KU Office of Admissions and Scholarships, is in charge of highbility recruitment, which includes bringing National Merit Scholars to the University. The OAS will continue to court students throughout the spring through weekly correspondence and campus visits. "We're keeping KU in the forefront of their minds," Sherron said. "We are the premier institution for the state." The OAS's hands-on approach to recruitment has accelerated in the past four years. The University's merit scholar recruitment arship offers at Michigan State University and Ohio State University, but declined because she wanted to go to school away from home and the University had her major of choice: architectural engineering. "They're the parent, and they're giving us an allowance," Sherron said. Sherron said that budgetary concerns prevented the scholarship from increasing, and that OAS relied on the Kansas University Endowment Association for funds. "There's a sense of tradition here. Sherron said that the University had more intangible benefits to students, other than money, although she said that funding was a legitimate concern. "I think that scholarships should be raised equivalently to the amount that tuition is raised." peaked five years ago, when 102 scholars joined the class of 2006. This year, there are 35 scholars. Sherron said a change in the scholarship prize was responsible for the decrease in recruitment. KELLY JENKINS Columbus, Ohio,junior Before 2003, scholars were awarded the equivalent of 30 credit hours and room and board in a scholarship hall. Now they are awarded a flat scholarship of $10,000 per year for four years. Kelly Jenkins, Columbus, Ohio, junior and merit scholar, has had to find a campus job to supplement her scholarship prize. She said that this causes a strain on her grade point average, which must remain at 3.25 or higher to retain her scholarship. "I think that scholarships should be raised equivalently to the amount that tuition is raised," Jenkins said. whether it its sports or living in Corbin because your mother and grandmother lived there," Sherron said. Most students in consideration for Jenkins received better schol the national Merit Scholarships won't make formal decisions until April, Sherron said. Until then, OAS plans on contacting potential recruits once a week by sending them personalized letters and trinkets such as pens, highlighters and magnets. A scholars' weekend is planned for March. The OAS and Honors Program will offer backstage visits to the Spencer Museum of Art and the Lied Center to prospective recruits. Sherron said that even though the University maintained contact with students, there was no pressure to make a decision before April. "We're not going to push a student to make a decision," Sherron said. "When students make college decisions, it's for a variety of reasons." —Edited by Russell Davies KANSANCLASSIFIEDS JOBS LOST & FOUND AUTO STUFF JOBS LOST & FOUND FOR RENT ROOMMATE SUBLEASE SERVICES CHILD CARE ADMIT ONE TICKETS AUTO STUFF FOR RENT ROOMMATE SUBLEASE ROOMMATE/ SUBLEASE Enter Shift SERVICES CHILD CARE ADMIT ONE PHONE 785.864.4358 AUTO 1996 Honda Accord LX Coupe 149K miles.

It's Lent. I always wondered where Lent came from, how it naturally occurs in one's belly button. But these questions are for scholars, and I don't know any, so they'll be left to the wind. Lent started on Ash Wednesday, last week, and goes till Easter—it's 40 days during which Christians are supposed to better themselves. Usually one gives up something enjoyable and donates the money saved to charities. So I could, say, give up eating pretzels for a month and then donate the cash I save from not eating pretzels to charity. But this year I'm thinking about doing something different, much different. This Lenten season I have a suggestion for the masses. Why not, instead of giving up something that you enjoy for lent, pick up a few bad habits or just make some bad decisions, so that by the end of the 40 days you realize how good your life was and you never want to do those bad things again. Take up smoking. Now I don't mean this as in a cigarette a day. Go full-force into it; start smoking half a pack a day (I just heard cigarette companies CEOs start salivating). Don't go anywhere without at least three alcoholic beverages in your body. This means anywhere; work, class, church, the doctor; I don't mean a weak drink either, something stuff. Go for a highball. Start driving a beat-up old pick up truck and drive in one-and-a-half lanes of any road. Marry a really ugly man/woman and move into a studio apartment in a bad part of town. This will make the time go much slower, but you just have to remember it'll only last for less than a month. Curse: start cursing a lot. If you're not passing for a sailor or an auto mechanic, you're failing. Buy some Blink-182 CDs. (Given, I already own most of these. I was in middle school once). After 40 days of this — well in reality less than 40 cause it's already been a week — when you revert back to your old life, if you can, you'll realize how good you had it. Being able to breathe after walking up the hill, navigating an automobile without fear of it breaking down or of you running it into a streetlight, waking up in the morning to a pleasant face in a nice part of town, being able to talk in front of kids and having music in your collection that you're proud of—the good life. Or you know, you could just give up chocolate. Whatever. Stewart is a Wichita Junior in journalism. COMMENTARY I will not be able to provide an accurate description of the image content. I will only output a sketch representation of what is visible in the image. Max Rinkel "Which drinking game does Barack Obama endorse?" Why I can't get enough Corey (Delaney, Haim or Feldman) CORBAN GOBLE I was amongst the mass crowds that drove, biked, and sloshed their way through the snow to last week's Democratic Caucus. It was held in a barn at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, a location that certainly lends itself to the sinking feeling of voter disenfranchisement. Cows were feasibly standing there hours earlier, herded this way and that. Now there were only Hillary cows and Obama cows, and a gaggle of Edwards/Kucinich/Gravel sheep. That's when I knew I needed to save America. Today, I'm starting a new campaign, a campaign that addresses the concerns of the median KU student and the tie that binds us all—partying. How come candidates never devote meaningful time to this issue? For instance, which drinking game does Barack Obama endorse? What's Hillary's favorite dive bar in Brooklyn? No, despite the clamors of the now-huddling masses, I do not plan in the street." Is he sorry? "(hesitant pause)...yeah. Yeah." Could you take your sunglasses off? "No...I'll keep these on." Why not? "Because they're famous." It all makes for the most furiously brilliant three minutes on YouTube, even better than the dog humping the Pikachu doll. KU students, our country finds itself mired a severe Corey drought. Once, long ago, we had it good. Not only did we have the crush-worthy Corey Haim, but we had the dreamy Corey Feldman, as well. These two screen stalwarts stole our collective hearts, but it couldn't go on forever. Now, a new Corey emerges like a phoenix from the ash of the old Coreys' flamed-out careers. And he couldn't have come at a better time. to run for president on this resilient platform—yet. Id like to unleash a plan that will live on as a sterling commemoration of our college years. Corey appeared on the national news program in which an affable, attractive news anchor did her best to berate our young hero. On the broadcast, Corey wears a gaudy flat-billed baseball cap, an unzipped furlined jacket exposing his bare chest and pierced nipple, and canary sunglasses so large that even the most audacious sorority girl would blush at the thought of donning them. The anchor interrogates him, and Corey rattles off a series of outstanding responses. The party? Not his fault, as "it could have been anybody out Thanks to the notoriety garnered from his appearance, party promoters reached out to Corey, inviting him to build hype for their parties while paying him heftily for his efforts. In this prime capitalization of seemingly ephemeral fame, Corey did what we Jayhawks now must. We will immediately draw up plans for an epic party, one that we will tell our children about in last-ditch efforts to sound and feel hip again, a party so splendid and effusive in design that it will make all the parties in the movies look like trite crap, and invite Mr. Delaney to curate it. Corey Delaney. Perhaps you have heard of him. For the uninitiated, Corey Delaney was the young Australian who threw a party at his parents' house while they were on "holiday." Nothing special, right? Wrong. That party grew into a 500-person bonanza, a gathering so rowdy that several police cars were damaged and local authorities sent in the dog squad. If the Australian media had merely looked the other way, and stifled any rogue thoughts of "hey, we should put this kid on TV" it's entirely likely that we would've never heard much of young Corey. But the legend of Corey was not meant to stop there. I write in this space today to ignite you, students. I've only begun to get the ball rolling here, but only YOU can make this party a reality. Book Abe and Jakes, or if possible, the moon (the ultimate party venue!). Call every DJ in the Yellow Pages. Spend three straight days at Kinko's photocopying flyers. Carve wooden Corey sculptures out of your study desks. Sell your textbooks, drop your classes and collect the tuition refunds. Afford no risks in making this party a first-class success. The result will not be a mere "party," but a work of art, something that will transcend these meager political dog-and-pony shows and petty day-to-day routines that reign over our lives. We are left to do the only thing that is logical; invite a 16-year-old Aussie with a churlish attitude to promote a party so triumphantly excessive that even Paris Hilton would have the good sense not to attend. We need to unite and create the purest manifestation of democracy this young planet will ever see. Get to work, and realize the liberty that our founding fathers could only dream of.

As an involved student, I knew what a crucial role the center would play in every student's life and the potential influence it could have if given the proper resources. I certainly hope this excitement persists among the entire student body today. In reading the article, I couldn't help but think back and reflect upon the exemplary leadership and profound sacrifice of the student leaders, administrators, and friends of the university who The first time I heard about the center in 2002. I had an on-campus job relating to graduate and professional student affairs and read then-Student Body President Jonathan Ng's platform with great interest. He spoke of an expanded role for the center and strengthening its presence on campus in a more centrally located place. To me, it was beyond exciting. Diversity was always a goal that would help every KU student better prepare for the workplace, and Jonathan knew its potential went beyond minority groups. made this project possible. Student Senate of 2002-03 led an aggressive campaign for funding a new building and building greater awareness throughout the KU Community. Thanks to Jonathan, along with Blake Shuart, Mark Dupree, Catherine Bell, Casey Collier, Lase Ajaiy, myself, and countless other students, funding for a new building was passed at the end of the 2002-2003 school year. But getting a new building was only the start. Future Student Senate groups, led by Student Senate leaders such as Andy Knopp, Steve Munch, and Jeff Dunlap, kept the spirit and purpose of this project close to their hearts. It is my hope that all students from all walks of life, undergraduate and post-undergraduate, will take advantage of this unique and incredible place. As someone who was there when this was merely but a dream five years ago, it is a thrill to see it become a reality." Sincerely, James Owen Class of 2004 KU School of Law Former Student Senator 》 Tuesday's WiKUpedia column failed to mention columnist's involvement in coalition FROM THE EDITOR BRYAN DYKMAN It has been brought to my attention that yesterday's column "Freeency - KU - pedia," about the WIKupedia project started by the Student Senate Connect coalition was written by a member of the Connect coalition, yet there was no mention of such a connection in the body of the story or the columnist's bylane. Columnist Ben Cohen explained to me that the aim of his piece was not meant to be an endorsement of the coalition or of Student Senate. It was his intention to simply inform his readers and state his enthusiasm about this new information source. Both Cohen and I appologize if any readers perceived his piece as containing bias toward or an outlet for Student Senate or any of its coalitions.

Bush's 2009 budget, released on Feb. 4, included flatlined funding for the National Institutes of Health for the fifth time since 2005. The NIH, the primary federal agency for medical research, is a major supplier of grant money for biomedical research at the University and the University Medical Center. Bush's proposed NIH funding, which has been flat since 2005, has caused diminished financial support for the NIH because it has not kept up with inflation, according to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. When funding for an organization is flatlined, it receives the same amount of money as the previous year, without compensating for inflation. Paul Terranova, vice chancellor for research at the medical center, said the decreased funding had caused a reduction in the dollar amount of individual NIH research grants awarded to University researchers. Overall funding for biomedical research has not declined for the University. Keith Yehle, director of federal relations, said the tight NIH budget would mean greater competition among researchers for grants. "We're wanting the biggest pot of federal research," Yehle said. "Our community will push for that." funding. Kevin Boatright, director of research communications, said misconceptions about the NIH could have contributed to the decrease in "In some circles, there is a sense that the NIH has done so well they don't need to do anymore, which we of course would disagree with," he said. National organizations such as the American Heart Association, Alzheimer's Association and the HIV Medicine Association have also criticized the president's plan to reduce biomedical funding. The status of proposed funding for the NIH contrasts with that for physical science agencies like the National Science Foundation, which received a 16 percent increase. Boatright said physical sciences and the NSF received a funding boost because legislators have become concerned about the competitiveness of the United States in the world market. "Other countries have invested more in science, technology, engineering and math," he said. "I think what you're seeing is a reflection of that becoming a higher priority." Boutright also said University research related to alternative energy could benefit from the NSF funding boost. The Transportation Research Institute, Biodiesel Initiative and Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis, a University engineering research center, could be among those positively affected. Yehle said Bush's budget proposal is subject to change until passed by Congress later this year. He said University officials would continue to lobby for increased NIH funding.

Bill Self's Jayhawks nearly finished undefeated on the road in the Big 12 conference. Kansas finished 7-1 on the road - matching its 7-1 conference record at home — and won the Big 12 regular season championship outright. "It's one of those things," Bill Self said about the difficulty of playing on the road. "If you go in there, and don't play well, you will get beat." Texas gave Kansas a reality check on Monday, beating Kansas 72-69. In case the Jayhawks didn't remember, winning on the road is an arduous task. It's happened to Kansas twice. Before Texas, Kansas was tripped up by Kansas State at Bramlage Coliseum - an opposing venue that's normally been a Jawhawk heaven. But Kansas can take some solace in the fact that this season, every Big 12 team is taking its beatings on the road. Whether it's the hostile crowd, the unfamiliar surroundings or those uncomfortable hotel mattresses. Big 12 teams have a combined conference road record of 16-36. This isn't a new trend either. Last season, teams finished a combined 33-6 on the road. Texas A&M can empathize with Kansas. In Mark Turgeon's first season, the Aggies started 15-1 during the nonconference season. Texas A&M's only loss was — you guessed it — on the road against Arizona. Then the Big 12 season started, and Turgeon's team was run out of the gym in two consecutive Big 12 road games. Texas A&M lost 68-53 at Texas Tech, and 75-54 to K-State at the all-of-asudden hostile Bramplate Coliseum. "It's a fine line between winning and losing," Turgeon said of his team's road struggles. "It's all the little things that add up—executing at the right time." Texas A&M reversed its negative road trend by winning its next three away from home against Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Missouri. "We've had some games on the road that we could win and we took advantage of it," Turgeon said. The Aggies road resurgence has buoyed their big 12 title aspirations. After starting 1-3, Texas A&M is back to 6-3 in the conference and back in the title hunt. But the tale of Texas A&M seems to be the norm in the Big 12. Win on the road, and you should find yourself in the top half of the Big 12, K-State — atop the Big 12 with a 7-1 record — also sports the conference's best road record at 2-1. On the other hand, the Big 12's bottom five teams — Texas Tech, Iowa State, Missouri, Oklahoma State and Colorado — are 1-21 on the road in the Big 12 combined. Baylor head coach Scott Drew knows the importance of winning on the road. Last season, his Baylor team finished 0-8 on the road on its way to an 11th place finish in the Big 12. This season, the Bears are 1-3 away from home, and have parlayed that moderate success into a 5-3 Big 12 record. With road wins at a premium, Drew has a new mantra. "You have to win your home games if you want to be in the upper echelon of the Big 12," Drew said. Winning at Allen Fieldhouse this conference season is one thing Kansas has been able to do. The Jayhawks are 5-0 at home in the conference, but its road woes are still a concern. Bill Self has one explanation for the road dip. "I think this is a much, much more difficult road schedule than what we had last year," Self said. This year's slate included trips to Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. Three teams Kansas played host to last season. Kansas is once again looking up in the standings at K-State. Even if the Jayhawks stay perfect on their home court, they will most certainly need to pick up their play away from home if they want to win their fourth consecutive Big 12 regular season championship. It's something Self knows, and Kansas' fifth year head coach said there is no secret to road success. "Teams have to be tough." Self said. "They have to focus."

However, in Kansas' 64-58 loss to Kansas State on Saturday there was a plethora of positives to take away from the game and plenty of reasons for coach Bonnie Henrickson's team to have hope for the rest of the season. For one thing, the Jayhawks hung close with the No. 17 team in the country on the road. Before Saturday, the closest Kansas had come to a Big 12 opponent on the road was a 16-point loss to Oklahoma. "We would have rather won today, but we battled and competed. The entire game was a battle for us," senior forward Taylor McIntosh said. "Before, we played the first half and not the second, or we played the second half and not the first. "Today we played both halves." The Jayhawks weren't always sticking right with the Wildcats, in fact they fell 10 points back early in the second half. However, the fact that her team was able to erase the deficit was something Henrickson loved to see. "Now we've been able to answer some runs and that's where you grow with some toughness and maturity," Henrickson said. Complete or not, the layhawks' turnaround is impressive, and the only thing they have to be worried about is whether it's coming too late. There are seven regular season games left this year — four at home and three on the road — and they must win more than they lose to have a shot at postseason play. The Jayhawks think they have turned a corner and, according to McNloth, this isn't the same team that suffered an 18-point loss to Colorado, tonight's opponent, less than a month ago. Jon Goering/KANSAN "Of course everyone wants to win, but at the same time if you look at this game then look at previous games that we were never in, it's hard not to find positives," McIntosh said. "It's a complete turnaround." KANSAS 00 KANSAS 41 STATE Still, Henrickson is happy to see her team grow and get better every day. LaChelda Jacobs, sophomore guard, dribbles against K-State last Saturday. The Jawhacks got 64-58, but coach Bonnie Henrickson still thought the outcome was positive.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO Players hit ice for the last time BY JOE PREINER jpreiner@kansan.com Two players on the KU club hockey team laced up their skates for the last time in last weekend's home series against Iowa State University. Of the nine seniors listed on the official roster, Nick Hantge, Hutchinson, Minn., and Ryne Tusten, Olathe, are the only two graduating at the end of the spring semester. Both players took part in the majority of the season's games, contributing quality minutes for the team. Hantge was second on the team in points for the season, adding 15 goals to his 16 assists in just 25 games. Tusten did not record a goal all season, preferring to lead the team on defense instead. The two players helped the KU club hockey team to a 10-10-2 record against top-tier teams this season. "I feel the team is headed nowhere but up," Hantge said. "They should have a great group of guys back on the ice next year and our program has really taken off." In the last game of the season, KU took on Iowa State. The game was anything but close as the Jayhawks worked their way to a 9-2 victory. The bond between the players was apparent, as teammates laughed and smiled as everything went their way. The ease of the game allowed the players to relax and enjoy their last minutes on the ice. Team president Dan Guilfoil, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior graduates at the end of next fall. Guilfoil played all four years with the team, but is not sure he will be returning to the team next semester. The victory over Iowa State could very well have been his last as a Jav Hawk also. "It was kind of a scary experience," Guilfoil said. "It still hasn't really soaked in yet that it was the last time on the ice with this team." With the game in hand, ahead 9-1 before the end of the second period, the team continued to work hard. They played tough throughout the final period, only allowing a single goal. The team even threw in a crowd-pleasing fight. Coincidentally, it was the only time the team was beaten all day. When the final buzzer sounded, dropping the curtain on a hard-fought and rewarding season. the team skated onto the ice together for one more celebration. "It means a lot to end it with such great friends," Hantge said. "And I couldn't have asked for anything better." The team was noticeably drained from the efforts they put forth during the game. The mood of the players was a somber one. "Everyone wanted to go out there and leave it all on the ice," Guilfoil said. "Especially being the last game of the year and for some of us the last game ever." The future of the KU club hockey team is promising. Although potentially losing three talented players, the returning squad is very experienced, with six other seniors returning next year. In addition to the experience of the seniors, Guilfoil said the program would continue to develop in a positive way and maintain its winning tradition because of the talented youth. As the graduating seniors look ahead to life after college hockey, they agree that they will never forget the experience. "Hockey has really been more than just a game to me," Hantge said. "The friends I have made along the way are irreplaceable and I will cherish the memories forever." Guilfoil agreed. "I will miss every part of this team," Guilfoil said. ] Edited by Patrick De Oliveira --- 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WFDNESDAY.FEBRUARY 13.2008 sports trivia of the day Q: Who does Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz regularly play golf with while he attends spring training in Orlando? atlantabraves.com A: Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam.

Associated Press 》 MLB Royals sign new pitcher SURPRISE, Ariz. — Mike Maroth, who won 25 games for the Detroit BY ALAN ESKEW ASSOCIATED PRESS Tigers in 2004-05 showed up at the Kansas City Royals training camp Tuesday knowing the team is looking for a left-handed starter. Maroth Marchh "That's why I'm here," said Maroth, who signed a minor Maroth, 30, has pitched six years in the majors, most of them with the Tigers. After winning 14 games for Detroit in 2005, he began the next season with a 5-2 record and a 2.45 earned run average. In a May 25, 2006, start at Kansas City, Maroth gave up six runs on six hits, including three home runs, in a third of an inning and left with a sore left elbow. After undergoing elbow surgery to remove bone chips, he was out until September 2006. league contract with the Royals on Friday with an invitation to spring training. "It's a great opportunity." "You could see something had to be done. Obviously, there were different scenarios, but we had a surplus of starting pitchers," Maroth said. It was after he went to the Cardinals that he noticed something was different. In his first start, he held the Mets to one run and two hits in 7 1-3 innings. After that, his performance deteriorated. He began last season with a 5-2 record, but then the Tigers traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals on June 22, after Kenny Rogers came off the disabled list. "You could clearly see I wasn't the same pitcher I had been in the past. Then I ended up getting tendinitis in my forearm," he said. St. Louis put him in the bullpen in August. Maroth finished 0-5 with a 10.66 ERA in 14 games, seven of them starts. After he arrived at the Royals' training camp Tuesday, it didn't take long for pitching coach Bob McClure to find a flaw in Maroth's delivery. "I threw my first side today and Mac pointed out something," Maroth said. "I threw three pitches and he stopped me. It had to do with the way I was landing on my front foot. I made an adjustment. I could feel a difference after a few pitches of trying to get a better landing. You could see a difference clearly in the way I was finishing pitches. It's a great sign." Maroth said his velocity is the same as it was before the surgery, "I've never been a hard thrower," he added.

The action-filled game ended with Chi Omega grabbing a 40-23 victory. Much of the scoring was done in the second half of the game with fewer turnovers and tighter defenses. During the low scoring first half, neither team let up easily, and the score was kept at a relatively even level until the second half. Within the first minutes of the game, Stefani Fuhrman, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore, shot an easy three-pointer. Cheers came from the ADPi2 sideline as the girls on the court congratulated her. After that, Chi Omega1 responded by making quick layups through ADPi2's defense and traveling forcefully down the lane to pick up easy baskets. Both teams played aggressively throughout the game and drove through the lane with reckless abandon to try to score. Chi Omega1 used communication to help each other out and constantly kept moving and getting in front of their defenders and blocking out for rebounds. Just ten minutes into the first half, Erica Lathrop, Blair, Neb., junior, called a timeout for Chi Omega1 and tried to use strategy to get a lead in the game. "We had to get into the rhythm and take care of the basics," said Chelsie Harper, Hugoton senior and member of Chi Omega1. Weston White / KANSAN 2 The small pep talk worked for Chi Omega1, and when the game started up again, the defense held ADPI2 in check for the next ten minutes, while the offense made quick passes deep inside the paint. The first half ended with a score of 13-13 and both teams thinking about what they could do better in the second half. By the time the second half started, Chi Omega1 knew what needed to be done to score more points. Before returning to the court, Chi Omega1 players told each other to step up on defense and pumped each other up with a team shout prior to the start of play. At the same time on the other side of the court, ADPI2 had its own plans for a victory. Chelsie Harper, Hugeton senior and Chi Omega player, defends against a drive to the basket by Tusa, Okla, sophomore Stefani Firman, of ADP12. Weston White / KAMSAN "We should put more pressure on the ball handler," Kate Weinstock, Overland Park junior, told her ADPI2 teammates. During the second half, both teams got into major foul trouble. Although ADPI2 had chances to put points on the board through foul shots, it didn't capitalize on them. 12 36 Towards the end, ADP12 tried to get back into the game but most of its shots kept hitting the heel of the rim and bouncing into Chi Omega1's outreached hands. Both teams played a very aggressive game, but ChiOmega1 was determined to prevail.

Edited by Madeline Hyden >> NBA Heat drop another heartbreaker in OT BY TIM REYNOLDS ASSOCIATED PRESS DEVILS MIAMI — JR. Smith made a career-best eight 3-pointers and scored 28 points, Kenyon Martin added 24, and the Denver Nuggets edged the Miami Heat 114-113 in overtime Tuesday night. Carmelo Anthony scored six of his 22 points in overtime for Denver, which has won three straight. ASSOCIATED PRESS Dwyane Wade scored a gamehigh 29 points, but missed a 22-footer at the buzzer for Miami — which has lost eight straight and 23 of its last 24 games. Wade — who also had 10 assists — made a 3-pointer with 2:36 left in overtime to tie the game at 110, then dove over the first row of seats in a futile effort to grab a loose ball a minute later. On that possession, Anthony Carter made two free throws, putting the Nuggets up by two with 1:26 left. The Denver Nuggets' J.R. Smith goes to the basket during the second quarter of an NBA basketball game in Miami, Tuesday. Smith made eight three-pointers and helped beat the Miami Heat by one point. Anthony added two more free throws with 54.1 seconds to play, and Ricky Davis' 3-pointer with 33.6 seconds left got Miami within a point. Anthony missed with about 10 seconds remaining, Miami controlled the rebound and Wade dribbled up the left side of the floor to one of his favorite spots. But the shot rimmed out, and Miami left frustrated once again. Shawn Marion scored 23 points and added a Heat season-best 18 rebounds. Dorell Wright scored 19 points and Mark Blount finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds. "I know it's been a tough year," Wade told fans before the game, as he thanked them for helping vote him onto the Eastern Conference All-Star team. "But it won't last forever." Smith scored a career-high 37 points against the Heat on Dec. 8, 2006, and did similar damage to Miami on Tuesday. It only seems that way. Allen Iverson scored 16 points on 5-for-20 shooting for Denver, and Marcus Camby ended up with 12 points and 16 rebounds. He sparked a big Denver run from a 14-point deficit in the first half, and in the fourth quarter, he simply torched Miami with four 3-pointers in the first 5:07 of the final period — answering Miami baskets with three of those long jumpers. But despite Smith's best efforts, the game remained close throughout the fourth, with neither team ever leading by more than four in the last 16:18 of the game. Iverson's jumper with 1:41 remaining gave the Nuggets a 102-98 edge, before Wade's layup cut the lead in half and Blount's jumper from the left baseline with 17.5 seconds left tied it. Wright blocked Iverson's potential game-winner with 0.4 seconds left, sending the game to overtime. Wright, who didn't attempt a 3- pointer in 22 games between Dec. 15 and Feb. 7 — was 2-for-2 from beyond the arc in the first quarter, helping stake Miami to a 32-23 lead. When Marion took a nifty bounce pass in the lane from former Phoenix teammate Marcus Banks and dunked with 8:17 left in the half, the Heat led 42-28 — their biggest edge in any game since leading Utah by 16 points on Dec. 22. But of course, in this Miami season, prosperity did last. Denver scored the next 10 points, sparked by Smith. He scored 13 points in a 4-minute span after Marion's dunk, and the Nuggets were within 63-57 after a wild half where Miami shot 61 percent from the floor and held a 22-14 rebounding edge, yet still couldn't pull away. And in the third quarter, the Heat got caught. Iverson missed 11 of his first 13 shots before driving for an acrobatic layup while getting fouled with 3:21 left in the third, pulling Denver within 76-72. It was part of a 15-2 period end- ing run by the Nuggets, who took their first lead since the opening minutes when Iverson made a six- footer with 1:51 left, and wound up extending the cushion to 84-78 entering the fourth.

Freshman center Krysten Boogaard and sophomore guard Danielle McCray were each spectators for most of that game because of foul trouble, which means both have something to prove Wednesday night. With only seven regular season games left, the Jayhawks must win this game if they still have any postseason aspirations. In the end, turnovers, or lack thereof, will decide this game. If Kansas commits 15 or fewer then it will come out victorious. Any more than 20, like the season-high 27 turnovers in Boulder, and the victory goes to the Buffaloes. QUESTION MARK Will McCray and Boogaard combine to play more than 50 minutes? GAME DAY BALL POINTS GUARD JAWKET FIELD HOUSE REPEATORS GUARD REPEATERS THROW WARD HOUSE REPEATORS GUARD REPEATERS THROW BASKETBALL GUARD JAWKET ALLEN FIELDHOUSE REPEATORS GUARD REPEATERS THROW FORWARD BALL REPEATERS FINAL FOUR BASKETBALL GUARD JAWKET ALLEN FIELDHOUSE REPEATORS GUARD REPEATERS THROW FORWARD BALL TREEE UNVERSAL FOUR BASKETBALL GUARD JAWKET ALLEN Kansas is, without a doubt, a much better team when these two are on the court, and when one or the other is on the bench in foul trouble it's obvious that something is missing. Boogaard's presence down low will be especially important Wednesday night because Buffs forward Jackie McFarland is a force to be reckoned with on the block. Boogaard played a career-low 11 minutes in the first match-up and minutes like that will likely result in another Kansas loss. HAWKS PLAY HOST TO BUFFS A victory tonight would keep postseason aspirations alive COLORADO AT KANSAS, 7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence Boogaard Kansas (13-8,2-6) M. A. OWUEMA Jacobs Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center — 9.4 ppg, 5.5 pg Boogaard has torn through the Big 12 as of late, posting back-to-back double-doubles with 20 points in each of her last two games and a career high 14 rebounds against Kansas State. However, the last time Kansas played Colorado, Boogaard picked up two quick foulns and finished with more fours (four) than points (two) and rebounds (one) put together. Colorado forward Jackie McFarland is a smart player and will again try and send Boogaard to the bench. ★★★☆ LaChelda Jacobs, 5-foot-10 sophomore guard With the season-ending ACL injury to freshman guard Chakeitha Weldon, Jacobs is now locked in as the backup point guard Colorado (15-6, 7-1) Like Weldon, Jacobs brings a lot of athleticism to the position but also comes with a 0.41 assist-to-turnover ratio, near the bottom of the league for point guards. Jacobs' play-making ability is unquestioned and now she needs to quickly add some stability to be effective. McCray ★★☆★★ KANSAS 24 Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard — 14.2 ppg, 7.2 rpg Scoring in double figures has never been a problem for McCray. She has scored at least 11 points in all but two games this season, but in conference play the sophomore is shooting just 32 percent from the field. With extra attention on Boogaard down low, McCray has found some easier shots from 15 feet and further out, and if she starts knocking those down the Jayhawks will be in business. Jackie McFarland, 6-foot-3 senior forward 18.1 m. 8.2 m. ★★★☆☆ ★★★★☆ The Derby native is playing Kansas for what could be the last time in her collegiate career. McFarland is 4-3 against the Jayhawks in her career. McFarland is one of the most efficient offensive players in the Big 12, shooting 58 percent from the field and 78 percent from the free-throw line. During January's win in Boulder, McFarland scored 15 points on 3-5 shooting from the field, doing most of her damage from the charity stripe. —Taylor Bern Nicollette Smith — 18.1 ppg, 8.2 rpg McFarland Diane A. Sparrow Brittany Spears, 6-foot-1 freshman forward - 13.8 rpq, 7.0 rpq Last week's Big 12 Rookie of the Week is showing what conference opponents can look forward to for the next three years. Though her production has already been impressive for a first-year player, Spears' numbers have gone up in Big 12 play. Despite being listed as a forward and pulling in her share of rebounds, Spears spends much of her time on the perimeter. Almost half of her shot attempts have come from three. ★★★☆☆ PRAVINANI Susie Powers, 5-foot-10 senior admiral Spears 3. 3 ppq, 4.0 apg Powers is someone Kansas can virtually ignore on the offensive end where scoring is concerned. That said, she distributes the ball well and if Powers fails to do the --- well, and if Powers can get the ball to McFarland and Spears in areas where they can score, they both could approach the 20-point mark. If she turns the ball over, it could mean a sixth straight loss for Colorado. 45 Amy Bentley Powers ★★☆★★ - Andrew Wiebe CU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE The Buffalooles began conference play at a respectable 2-3. Since then they have lost five straight games to put themselves squately in the Big 12 cellar. One of those two wins was in Boulder against Kansas, but Colorado has only one conference road win and that was against last-last Missouri. At 2-8 in the Big 12, Colorado has little postseason hope but a win against Kansas would be huge going into the final five games of conference play. QUESTION MARK Can Colorado get to the free-throw line? In the Buffaloes' 59-41 win at home they went 20-28 from the free-throw line. In the process, Colorado kept Boogaard off the court for most of the game. The talented freshman played only 11 minutes after collecting four quick personal fouls. The key to beating the Jayhawks at home will be keeping previously foul-prone players like Danielle McCray and Boogaard from playing more than 30 minutes. Look for Colorado to pound the ball inside to McFarland early in the hope that Boogaard will pick up a few quick fouls. HAMBURGER HELPER SELECTED VARIETIES, 5.6 to 8.4 oz. 99¢ ea.

Open Monday Feb.11th THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2008 SPORTS 5B NASCAR Toyota catching up with the big teams BY MIKE HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Moments after pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 ended, Toyota official Lee White was asked how he felt about the Japanese automaker's results that day. "Disappointed," replied White, senior vice president and general manager of Toyota Racing Development. In the wake of Toyota placing three of its NASCAR Sprint Cup Camrys in the top five on last Sunday's speed chart, including Michael Waltrip locking up the outside front row position for Sunday's 50th running of "The Great American Race," that one word speaks volumes. A year ago, Toyota moved up to what was then known as the Nextel Cup series and took its lumps. Arriving at Daytona with the middle-of-the-pack Bill Davis Racing team and the brand new Michael Waltrip Racing and Team Red Bull operations, little was expected of the new brand. And little was produced. Only four of eight Toyotas entered made the season-opening race. Waltrip — after embarrassing Toyota earlier in the week with a cheating scandal involving an illegal fuel additive — was the top Camry qualifier, earning a 15th-place start by racing his way into the big event in one of the 150-mile qualifying races. Teammate Dale Jarrett, who got into the race on the series champion's provisional, was the top Toyota finisher at 22nd. None of the Camry quartet was ever a real contender in the 500-mile race. As the season moved on, progress for the Toyota teams was agonizingly slow. They struggled just to qualify for races. BDR's Dave Blaney gave the manufacturer its one and only pole last summer at New Hampshire, while the third-place finish by Red Bull's Brian Vickers last fall at Talladega was the best for a Toyota. A year later, after a lot of hard work and the acquisition of the powerhouse Joe Gibbs Racing team as its marquee team, Toyota could be in the hunt for its first Cup victory on the sport's biggest stage. TRD president Jim Aust tried to put the situation in perspective after the qualifying session and could hardly smiling. "I'm super happy," he said. "This says a lot about where we were last year and where we are this year. You take it one step at a time, but I think we're on a much more level playing field now." Aust said there are a number of reasons why Toyota enters the 2008 season as a serious contender rather than an afterthought. A big one is that the Car of Tomorrow is now the only one Cup teams will be using. Another key, of course, is stealing away JGR, owner of three of the last seven Cup titles, with two-time champion Tony Stewart and rising stars Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch as its current drivers. Stewart finished second behind the Chevrolet of Dale Earnhardt Jr. in last Saturday night's 70-lap exhibition race, the first event of the season. It appeared he could easily have won with a little more drafting help. "It's the same car that we ran for half the year last year, other than a different engine," Stewart said before the race, referring to the CoT. "If you can feel a difference in that car, you need to be driving it because I can't feel a difference at all." With Waltrip already on the front row and teammate David Reutimann and Blaney, the fourth and fifth fastest drivers last Sunday, assured of being in the lineup for the 500, everyone has taken notice of Tovota. Rick Hendrick, owner of the powerful Hendrick Motorsports team that includes Earnhardt, pole-winner and two-time reigning Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, four-time champion Jeff Gordon and Casey Mears, is also expecting Toyota to be tough in the 500, as well as serious contenders for the rest of the season. "These Toyotas are awfully fast," Hendrick said. Duct $11.95 Petite $6.95 The Perfect Pair Duet $11.95 Petite $6.95 Love Duet ice cream cakes for two Pre-order your cakes. limited supply only!

ASSOCIATED PERSS Drivers penalized for misconduct BY CHRIS JENKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — It began with crunched fenders, harsh words and maybe even a punch in the face. But the final result was just a slap on the wrist from NASCAR: a six-race probation for Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch. Heading into Sunday's Daytona 500, it's beginning to look like NASCAR officials were serious when they said they will cut drivers some slack on their bad behavior this year. Kurt Busch (2) and Tony Stewart (20) race through the tri-oval during the NASCAR Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Saturday. The two drivers were involved in an incident on the track Friday during practice. Join us February 19 to 21 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Kansas Union Ballroom | Kansas Union | Level 5 "We're still working into letting the drivers develop and vent in proper ways, but we're giving them some more latitude," NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said Tuesday. "We said in the offseason we would do that and I think this is another step to letting you know what we mean." Booths: The punishments to Stewart and Busch stem from a confrontation between the two former series champions, who wrecked in practice last week and then carried it into the NASCAR officials' trailer. KU Bookstores, Official KU Grad Announcements, Caps and Gowns, Class Rings by Balfour, Office of Student Financial Aid, Office of the University Registrar, Alumni Association, University Career Center, Commerce Bank and STA Travel Probation has been a murky issue for NASCAR, as officials haven't necessarily punished a driver more harshly if he misbehaves while on probation. NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said that's going to change. >>NASCAR "We're starting the season by putting them on probation and were also going to redefine what probation means." Hunter said. "And they clearly understand it." KU BOOKSTORES 20 2 LUKE LITE Swapon GOOSE SEEDS While nobody involved in the incident would confirm that Stewart actually punched Busch KU BOOKSTORES KANSAS UNION BURGE UNION EDWARDS CAMPUS (785) 864-4640 kubookstores.com jostens THE OFFICIAL BOOKSTORES OF KU With that in mind, Pemberton said Stewart and Busch need to give each other some room on the track — but that doesn't mean they can't race each other hard. ONE STOP SHOPPING FOR ALL YOUR GRADUATION NEEDS. "They need to be able to race each other in tight situations, bumper-to-bumper and door-to-door," Pemberton said. during the first of their two meetings with officials, as is widely believed, Pemberton inferred that Busch's penalty was for what happened on the track and Stewart's was for what happened afterward. "The accident was a racing incident," Pemberton said. "How they conducted themselves after that, after the accident and coming onto pit road and from there through the rest of the evening is why the penalties were equal." However, in granting Busch and Stewart some leniency for their dustup, officials also made it known that the term "probation" will mean more this year than it has in the past. Equally light, that is.

America has a Barking and baying up a storm, Uno lived up to his name Tuesday night by becoming the first beagle to win best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club. No.1." Wilkerson said. More than 169 breeds and varieties were represented at the 132nd Westminster Kennel Club event. "We knew he was going to be No.1." AARON WILKERSON Uno's handler The nation's new top dog was clearly the fan favorite, and drew a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden when he was picked. Uno got right into the act, jumping up on handler Aaron Wilkerson and confirming his other title: noisiest in show. Years from now, he'll be known for the "ah-roo" heard round the ring. The only dog consistently listed among America's most popular breeds for nearly 100 years, a beagle had never won in the 100 times Westminster picked a winner. That changed when judge J. Donald Jones pointed to this nearly 3-year-old package of personality. Good ol' Snoopy, a champion at last. Uno was numero uno, boating out two perfect poodles, a top Sealyham terrier, a sleek Weimaraner, a lively Australian shepherd and a sprightly Akita. "We knew he was going to be and the competition brought 2,627 entries. Bark s echoed around Madison Square Garden as the crowd cheered its favorites, among them a Neapolitan mastiff that lumbered around the ring, a Chihuahua that spun in circles and a miniature pinscher that plucked a piece of food off the green carpet without missing a beat. Formally known as K-Run's Park Me in First, Uno came into this competition with 32 best in show ribbons overall. Yet he was surely an underdog because no beagle had even won the hound group since 1939. But Uno fixed that, breezing in the 15-inch breed judging on Monday morning and taking his group several hours later. But when it came time to show, Uno was as precocious and precious as ever. and clapping, he soaked in the cheers as he walked around the ring. And when he made his final stop in front of Jones, Uno went to town, baying over and over. With fans calling out his name Even when he returned to sidelines as other dogs were judged, Uno kept going. Quite a win it was for Eddie Dziuk of Columbia, Mo., and the other three co-owners. "My sister called me today and said she's always turned off the dog show on TV because she's tired of all those poodles winning," Jon Woodring, one of the other co-owners, said earlier in the day. "But she watched last night. I think Uno winning would show that an everyday dog can do it." Longtime dog expert David Frei, the paw-by-paw announcer for USA Network's coverage of the Westminster Kennel Club show, went even further. "My sister calld me today and said she's always turned off the dog show on TV because she's tired of all those poodles winning." "If he wins best in show, I'll JON WOODRING One of Uno's co-owner rent him an apartment in New York City because I'll be traveling with him all year, so many people will want to see him," he said. "If he won, it would be the greatest thing for our show." Better get that first rent check ready — Uno is here to stay. 11 Uno, a 15-inch beagle, interacts with his handler Aaron Wilkerson, right, after winning best in show at the 132nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York, Tuesday.

The affidavit, dated Jan. 22, was obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday. It is part of the evidence gathered by the congressional committee looking at drugs in baseball. The House Committee on Oversight and Government's hearing Wednesday will focus on Clemens' denials of his former personal trainer's allegations in the Mitchell Report. The trainer, Brian McNamee, told federal prosecutors and then baseball investigator George Mitchell that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone at least 16 times in 1998, 2000 and 2001. "I have never had a conversation with Clemens in which he expressed any interest in using steroids or human growth hormone," Canseco said in the affidavit. "Clemens has never asked me to give steroids or human growth hormone." Canseco continued: "I have played on three teams with Roger Clemens and I have no reason to believe that he has ever used steroids, human growth hormone, or any other performance enhancing drugs." According to McNamee, Clemens first raised the subject of steroids not long after McNamee saw Canseco and Clemens at a June 1998 party. At the time, Canseco and Clemens were teammates on the Toronto Blue Jays, and McNamee was working for the team. Canseco says in his affidavit Clemens was not at that party. The first mention of Clemens' name in the Mitchell Report is on page 167. On the very next page comes McNamee's account of "a lunch party that Canseco hosted at his home in Miami." "McNamee stated that, during this luncheon, he observed Clemens, Canseco, and another person he did not know meeting inside Canseco's house, although McNamee did not personally attend that meeting," the Mitchell Report says. In his affidavit, Canseco said, "I specifically recall that Clemens did not come to the barbecue. I remember this because I was disappointed that he did not attend. I later learned that he had a golfing commitment that day and could attend the party" Canseco's book about steroids in baseball, "Juiced," drew Congress' attention in 2005, leading to the hearing then with Mark McGwire. Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro. He and Clemens were teammates on the 1996 Boston Red Sox and 2000 New York Yankees, in addition to the '98 Blue Jays.

Bottled water has also become a favorite among Americans, who buy 28 billion bottles each year, according to the Beverage Marketing Corporation. Research shows that bottled water offers no significant health benefit Though, amid surging sales, many environmentalists have questioned the logic of bottled water consumption. that tap water doesn't offer. HEALTH BENEFITS Despite this, consumers pay extra to drink water shipped from exotic locations such as Fiji and France. "We're bottling water far away from where it's purchased, shipping it all over the world and in the process using fossil fuels." The plastic bottles, once discarded, accumulate in city landfills and leach chemicals into the environment. Students on campus pay $1.25 for a 20-ounce bottle of Dasani. That translates to $8 per gallon - more than twice as expensive as a gallon of gas. For this hefty price, the bottled water is likely to be just as clean as the municipal tap water Lawrence gets from the Kansas River and Clinton Reservoir. JEFF SEVERIN Center for Sustainability Director Though the FDA monitors lead in bottled water more closely than the Environmental Protection Agency monitors tap water, that potential benefit is offset by the presence of fluoride in city water. According to the food and Drug Administration, federal standards for bottled water are almost identical to those for tap water. As a result, neither one is significantly cleaner than the other. Fluoride, which improves dental health, gets filtered out of bottled water. Council also estimates that 25 percent of all bottled water, including Aquafina and Dasani, is municipal water taken directly from a tap and purified again. The Natural Resources Defense WATER MILES Even though Americans can get clean, cheap water from their kitchen faucet, the Earth Policy Institute estimates that a quarter of bottled water bought by consumers is shipped across national borders. Jeff Severin, director of the KU Center for Sustainability, said the "water miles" accumulated during the distribution of water from places such as Fiji or France was a big concern. "We're bottling Petroleum is used not only to ship water, but to manufacture the bottles as well. The production of the 28 billion bottles of water Americans buy each year uses 1.1 million barrels of oil and releases one billion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, Were boiling water far away from where it's purchased, shipping it all over the world and in the process using fossil fuels," he said. Of the billions of water bottles Americans buy each year, 80 percent end up in landfills or incinerators, even after getting recycled. Those bottles could take anywhere between 400 and 1,000 years to degrade, the EPI estimates. PLASTIC POLLUTION Simran Sethi, environmental journalist and Lacy C. Haynes visiting professor in the School of Journalism, said that plastic didn't biodegrade like many other materials in landfills, it photodegrades, or breaks down from exposure to light and heat. Chemicals from photodegraded plastic bottles can leach into the water during storage, Sethi said. "If you're tasting plastic in your water, you're ingesting plastic," she said. Chemical leaching into bottled water increases the longer a person reuses a plastic bottle. For this reason, Sethi said it was best to avoid plastic altogether. "You can get the same convenience with a reusable bottle and not be contributing to environmental problems and health concerns." BEYOND THE BOTTLE Severin said one of the best ways to stay hydrated without bottled water was to buy a reusable stainless steel or aluminum bottle and fill it with tap water. according to the Container Recycling Institute. "You can get the same convenience with a reusable bottle and not be contributing to environmental problems and health concerns," he said. JEFF SEVERIN Center for Sustainability Director Severin also said students could invest in a good water filtration system, such as a water jug or faucet filter if they were worried about contaminants in city water. contribute to the negative environmental effects of plastic bottles. Cities such as San Francisco and Ann Arbor, Mich., have already acted on the problem by banning bottled water in city buildings. At $8 a gallon, bottled water on campus is significantly more expensive than the 24-packs available at grocery stores like HyVee. This water costs about $1.38 per gallon. But those value packs, despite being cheap, still But Sethi said she thought this may change. Bans like these have made her optimistic that a change will come, if only one bottle at a time.

Jessica Wicks GOLF TOPEKA — PGA Tour great Tom Watson was in the spotlight again, Watson lobbies legislature for anti-annexation bill but this time it had nothing to do with golf. Watson was in Topeka on Wednesday urging legislators to approve a bill that curtails involuntary annexation.

If annexation is rejected by those residents, the question couldn't be raised again for four years. The committee took no action Wednesday.

ODD NEWS Police set up fake business to expose safety problems NEW YORK — Undercover police secretly set up a fake company to demonstrate how easily and anonymously a terrorist could purchase chlorine on the Internet for a deadly chemical strike against the city. A videotape — presented Wednesday at a briefing of private security executives — discloses for the first time the results of "Operation Green Cloud" — a reference to the yellow-green color of chlorine gas. The purpose was "to assess the ease or difficulty with which a terrorist in the United States could acquire large quantities of chlorine without being detected by law enforcement or intelligence agencies;"a narrator says on a copy of the video obtained by The Associated Press. The conclusion: "At the present time, few if any barriers stand in his way." Chlorine typically is used as a disinfectant or purifier, and as an ingredient in plastics and other products. While routinely transported in liquid form, it can turn into a deadly toxic gas when exposed to air. There has been no specific terror threat against the city involving chemicals, but New York City police recently put more emphasis on screening shipments of chlorine after learning that it has become a favored component of homemade bombs in Iraq. "It's something we have to be concerned about," he said of the potential of an attack using chlorine. "We think the whole area needs a lot of regulation." A 2007 United Nations report found that at least 10 attacks in Iraq involved explosives attached to chlorine canisters. Kelly said the NYPD has been lobbying the Department of Homeland Security to draft stricter regulations requiring chlorine vendors to verify the legitimacy of their customers. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said that while there were no places to obtain chlorine in New York, there are several locations in neighboring New Jersey. The department sent federal officials a copy of the videotape and "asked them to include strict 'know-your-customer' rules," Kelly said. Homeland Security has been focusing on high-risk manufacturers, distributors and retailers of chlorine in an attempt to secure the nation's domestic supply, agency spokesman Russ Knocke said. The agency also has been briefing other law enforcement groups on the issue, he said. Police stressed that the chlorine deal was within current regulations, which have no requirement that vendors verify identification of their customers or report transactions. In the video, an intelligence detective describes how in June 2007 the department fabricated a water purification company, complete with a mailing address, Web site and a phony contract with the city to clean up a polluted creek in Brooklyn. Investigators, after using the internet to identify local vendors, used a credit card to place an order with one unnamed firm for three 100-pound cylinders of chlorine. No one ever asked for identification and the purchase required little human interaction, police said. The video includes surveillance footage of a truck delivering the canisters on a rain-slicked Brooklyn street lined with warehouses. At the time, hazardous material teams were on standby to respond to any accidents, police said.

A profile on Sethi will be in an upcoming issue of the University Daily Kansan. Two faculty members at the University of Kansas have found themselves in a position to make a positive environmental effect on Lawrence. One of whom is jeff Severin, director of the Environmental Sustainability Center, who Mayor Sue Hack appointed to work on the city's new Climate Protection Task Force. Lawrence city commissioners officially approved the task force Tuesday night. According to Cynthia Boecker, assistant city manager, the task force consists of people from various parts of the community who are interested in climate protection and improving the overall environment. "I think I was appointed because I do work with a variety of organizations on campus, and I have a pretty good feel for how our campus views environmental issues." Severin said. Severin is no stranger to environmental issues. After he graduated from the University of Kansas in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in environmental studies, Severin got a job working for the Caw Valley Heritage Alliance where he coordinated a state-wide watershed education program. The organization's goal was to educate students about the natural and human influences on water quality and how people can moderate their effects, Severin said. After three years of working for the Alliance, he got a position at the University of Kansas where he managed a recycling program. He soon worked his way up to becoming the director of the Environmental Sustainability Center, where he's now worked for four years. "It was great to get a job at the same university I graduated from," said Severin. "It's a great community and we've got a lot of opportunity here as far as the campus' impact on the community." Now that he's a member of the city's Climate Protection Task Force, he's ready to start working with nine other appointees to put together a plan to lower greenhouse gas emissions in Lawrence by 7 percent while preserving economic development in the city. "Some people see reducing greenhouse gas emissions as halting or impeding growth and development, but I think we need to keep in mind that we can have a strong economy that limits our impact on the environment," Severin said. Severin said he wasn't sure when the Climate Protection Task Force will have its first meeting, but he said he expected the committee's first priority to be to compile a greenhouse gas inventory to get a base line measurement of the current level of carbon emissions in Lawrence.

Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN Student Senate notebook Selective student groups allowed to advertise allowed to advertise Student Senate passed the bill to allow student groups with selective membership to advertise with the Student Advertising Program in The University Daily Kansan. Previously, only groups open to all students could advertise in the space, but now groups like Greek organizations, scholarship halls, performing arts groups, residence halls and sports clubs can advertise events open to all students. Many of these events are charity fundraisers, which will benefit from free advertising in The Kansan. Senators amended the bill twice. The first amendment gave advertising preference to groups open to all students if more ads are submitted than there is room. There are 16 spaces in the advertisement. Roderick Patton, the deputy communications director who helped put together the ad, said he had never seen all 16 ad spaces filled. The second amendment said the groups with selective membership could not use their ads to recruit members. Michael Gillaspie, Interfrater- nity Council senator and writer of the bill, said by excluding groups with selective membership from the program, the Senate was excluding students who help pay fees. "Whether or not a group is open to all students has nothing to do with the event they're holding," Gillaspie said. Senate replacement committee members chosen Five senators became members of a replacement committee that will fill vacant seats on Senate. They were chosen randomly and there could not be more than one of each type of senator on the committee. The five committee members are: Chair Mitch Knopn freshman/sophomore CLAS senator Jeremy Antley Graduate and Professional Association senator David Le junior/senior CLAS senator Jordan Williams Queers and Allies senator Libby Johnson freshman senator The committee will be responsible for filling positions that are vacant because the senators graduated or quit. There are two business senator positions open, two freshman/sophomore CLAS positions, two junior/senior CLAS positions and one off-campus senator position open. Stop day still intact Student Senate approved legislation presented at the meeting to oppose the elimination of sten- calendar. Mark Pacey, graduate student senator, is a member of the calendar committee and wrote the resolution. Pacey said that in his experience as a Resident Assistant, students used stop days to finish projects, study for tests, and visit office hours for professors. He said eliminating this day would make it more difficult for students to do all of these things. Last semester, the calendar committee voted by e-mail to remove stop day from the academic The calendar committee is meeting on Monday, where the resolution will be presented.

The University of Kansas may start requiring students to pass an assessment of skills they have learned at the University before receiving their diplomas. Dan Bernstein, director of the Center for Teaching and chair of the task force that was created to research the tests, said the assessment would focus on knowledge of human cultures, the physical and natural world, intellectual and practical skills, analysis, creative thinking, written and oral communication, literacy, problem solving and teamwork. "No one is going to look at it as a learning opportunity. They are just going to see it as another hoop to jump through." He said the task force was unsure whether the assessment would be a multiple choice test, a portfolio of what a student is already doing in his or her classes or another approach, because the task force had just begun its research. Bernstein said two members of the task force, Elizabeth Friis, an associate professor in mechanical engineering and Dan Spencer, an associate professor in business, would attend an informational session about college-level student assessments next week in Boston. He said after Friss and Spencer returned, the task force would begin its research. Last semester the Board of Regents invited the state's universities to decide which student assessment would be the best option if such a test were mandated. In response, University Senate created the task force on learner outcomes to research the various assessment tests universities and organizations around the nation were using and the practicality of those tests. The task force will perform the research this spring, run trials of the tests this summer and present its findings early next fall. JACKIE PRINE Omaha, Neb. sophomore Rick Levy, president of Faculty Senate and a professor of law, said the goal of the task force was to adopt and promote an assessment without distorting the mission of the University the way "No Child Left Behind" had distorted elementary and secondary education. He said University Senate created the task force because it was trying to preempt a federal mandate that would require the University to implement a specific test. "They typically come with strict paperwork requirements and funding penalties if you don't meet targets," Levy said. "So, I think its much more likely a federal mandate would force us to teach what they would like us to teach, not what we as educators think we need to be teaching." Levy said there was a very strong push within the national and state political arenas for colleges to prove they were effectively teaching students. U. S. Representative Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) said he had not heard of a federally-mandated college-level assessment test, but that he would not support it if he did. Moore said Congress should set goals for universities, but the experts in education were better suited to assess students than Congress. Students are not happy with the institution of any type of assessment test, but Tommy Kesterson, Overland Park sophomore, said if an assessment test were to be instituted at the University, a federally mandated test would be the best option. Kesterson said if the overall point of the test was to compare how much students at the University of Kansas are learning compared with students at other universities, each university would have to use the same test. Jackie Prine, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, said she thought the University's reputation would be enhanced if it did institute an assessment, but that students would not appreciate the move. "No one is going to look at it as a learning opportunity. They are just going to see it as another hoop to jump through," Prine said. Bernstein said he thought the University would adopt the assessment the task force recommended. He said the University already selects about 200 random seniors to do an hour long interview with a random set of faculty each year. He said those students were asked questions related to the University's six goals of general education, including the practice of citizenship and the understanding and appreciation of cultures. Bernstein said the University was simply investigating assessments it could do in addition to what it does now or could replace the interviews.

Writers Guild back to work as 100-day holdout ends Writers Guild of America member Bradford Winters makes a telephone call in his New York office as he goes back to work on a new NBC television series "The Philanthropist," Wednesday Feb. 13, 2008. Members of the Writers Guild of America members voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to lift the union's strike order, allowing the industry to jump-start stalled production of numerous TV sitcoms and dramas. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS The strike reduced prime-time TV to reruns and reality shows and forced the late-night comics to write their own material. For shows that went into reruns, producers and writers began meeting to figure out how much of the season they LOS ANGELES — One day after the Writers Guild of America voted to end the walkout, writers on idled TV shows were back at the studios, reviewing projects with executives or pestering their agents to set up meetings. Agents were pitching, producers were assessing how to resume interrupted projects, and the little guys who keep the dreamfactory engines running were just glad to be back at work. "It's back to school with all the trepidation of, 'Do you remember how to do your job? And did you forget the characters' name?'" said Eddie Gorodetski, a writer for "Two and a Half Men." "I want to forget all the strike stuff and just make people laugh." "We, like every other writer in town, have a million calls in to our agents and managers to see what's next," said Brian Sawyer, who with partner Gregg Rossen had sold a sitcom pilot to Fox before the strike began Nov. 5. Amid the relief, however, was caution: The Screen Actors Guild could go on strike after its contract expires June 30. "Heralding that the strike is over is a half-truth because we have the Screen Actors Guild," said producer Peter Guber, former head of Columbia Pictures, current chairman of the Mandalay Entertainment Group and co-host of AMC's "Shootout." "The studios, unless they're going to start production in the next 10 days so they can finish it before June, aren't going to start the pictures." could salvage and how they would meet tight deadlines to write and shoot new episodes. Dates were announced Wednesday for some series to return to the air. Among them were "How I Met Your Mother," "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory" on March 17; and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" on April 3. Rainn Wilson, a Writers Guild member and co-star of "The Office," said he was hearing that everyone on the show will report back on March 10 to shoot six more episodes. Writers returned after guild leaders and producers came to terms on a key sticking point — compensation for shows and movies distributed over the Internet. Guild members are expected to ratify the contract in voting over the next 10 days. bilized thousands of technicians, makeup people and other production workers.

But screenwriter John Ridley, whose credits include "Undercover Brother," expects one constant to quickly resurface: That talent writers have for putting off work. "Writers, and I include myself, are the whitest bunch of people on the planet," Ridley said. "I'm sure the first day back, somebody's already saying, 'Where's lunch? Did anybody order lunch?' And the producers are saying, 'Oh, they're whining about lunch again. We're back. It's really over."

THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS THURSDAY, FEBUARY 14, 2008 NEWS STATE LEGISLATURE 5A Kansas senators take sides on coal-fired power plant bill BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS development opportunity that the TOPEKA — Senators debated Wednesday whether Kansas should enact its first limits on carbon dioxide emissions as they considered a bill allowing two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas. The bill is a response to a decision in October by the state's secretary of health and environment to deny an air-quality permit to Sunflower Electric Power Corp. The Hays-based utility wants to build the coal-fired plants outside Holcomb, in Finney County In denying the permit,Secretary Rod. Brembycited the plants' potential CO2 emissions, an estimated 11 million tons a year. But Sunflower's $3.6 billion project has bipartisan support among legislators. Supporters of "I think it's incumbent upon us to find a way to burn coal more cleanly and more efficiently." SEN. CHRIS STEINEGER Kansas City Democrat Supporters of the project view it as an economic state shouldn't miss. But they also believe that the state eventually will need the power the new plants would provide. "We've heard a lot over the months about the economic development." Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican. told his colleagues. "That's certainly a very important, critical part of this. The even more important reason for this bill and this debate is for our energy security." As originally drafted, the bill included proposed limits on CO2 emissions from new power plants — and a carbon tax of $3 for each excess ton of emissions for a utility that didn't comply. But the Senate Utilities Committee stripped those proposals out of the bill. Environmentalists, some legislators and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius viewed the rules as far too weak. Some conservative legislators and anti-tax groups objected to any plan to regulate CO2, arguing it would hurt the economy. "On the left side, we were told $3 was an insult because it wasn't enough," said Sen. Janis Lee, of Kensington, the Utilities Committee's top Democrat. "On the right side, we were told $3 was an insult because it was a carbon tax." But Sen, Chris Steineger, a Kansas City Democrat, argued that the state should try to regulate CO2 emissions, which many scientists have linked to global warming. "I accept the fact that coal is going to be burned by the human race for a long time," said Steiniger, a Kansas City Democrat. "I think it's incumbent upon us to find a way to burn coal more cleanly and more efficiently." The debate stretched into Wednesday evening. Senate leaders hoped the chamber would decide whether to give it first-round approval, allowing final action Thursday. NOT CROSS The House is working on its own energy bill. A police officer stands outside the building on New York's Upper East Side yesterday where a man hacked psychologist Kathryn Faughur to death with a meat cleaver Tuesday night in her office. The male suspect, who also seriously injured another therapist, was still at large Wednesday. Brian McDermott/ASSOCIATED PRESS CRIME Psychiatrist killed with meat cleaver BY COLLEEN LONG ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Police hunted yesterday for a man who entered a psychologist's office with a bag of knives and a meat cleaver, hacking her to death so savagely that blood spattered the walls and floor and the entire room was torn apart. A colleague who responded to the victim's screams was seriously injured, and investigators were trying to determine whether the attacker was a patient at the clinic. Three knives were recovered at the scene, including a 9-inch knife and the cleaver, which was apparently bent from the attack, police said. Kathryn Faughey's office was in shambles: Furniture was overturned, shades torn and blood was on the walls and pooled on the floor. She suffered 15 stab wounds, including a gash to her head believed to be from the cleaver, police said. "The condition of the room was that of a fierce struggle," police spokesman Paul Browne said. He left behind two bags that contained bizarre clues, authorities said. Investigators do not know the name of the suspect. Authorities released a sketch of a balding, middle-aged man believed to be the killer along with surveillance videotapes of the attacker entering and leaving the building. A roller suitcase was filled with adult diapers and women's clothing, including blouses and slippers, and a smaller second bag was filled with eight knives, rope and duct tape, tools apparently not used in the attack, police said. The suspect walked into the suite Believing the killer might have been injured in the attack, authorities issued alerts to area hospitals and looked through Faughey's computer files for clues. They also examined surveillance footage to see whether he had been to the office prior to the attack. The attack happened Tuesday night in a 13-story apartment building on East 79th Street, in a bustling neighborhood just blocks from a major hospital complex, police said. The suspect, carrying the two bags and dressed in a three-quarter-length green coat, knit cap and gloves, breezed past the building's doorman, saying he had an appointment with Dr. Kent Shinbach, a 70-year-old geriatric psychiatrist who worked in the same office suite as the victim, according to police. waiting room, where a female patient was waiting to see Shinbach, and at some point went into Faughey's office and started to attack her, police said. It wasn't clear how long the struggle continued before Shinbach heard Faughey's screams and ran to help. The traumatized female patient, who was in Shinbach's office during the attack, was being questioned by authorities. The suspect apparently didn't recognize Shinbach when he opened the door and said, "She's dead," referring to Faughey, who was lying behind her desk, police said. He then attacked the psychiatrist, stabbing at Shinbach and pinning him to the wall with a chair before stealing $90 and escaping through a basement door. Shinbach was in serious condition at New York Hospital with slash wounds on his head, face and hands. Blood was found on the basement doorknob, and police said the route outside from the first-floor office wasn't very obvious; it was possible the suspect knew where he was going. Surveillance tapes show the suspect deliberately leaving the luggage by the basement door before walking out. Shinbach screamed out to the street from Faughey's office for help, and the building doorman called 911 around 9 p.m., but by then the suspect had escaped. The attack sent shock waves through the city's large community of mental health professionals. "This is, I think, an extraordinary occurrence," said Sharon Brennan, a psychologist in Manhattan and a spokeswoman for the New York State Psychological Association. "It has had a shocking impact on the whole New York community." Faughey, a licensed psychologist and graduate of Yeshiva University in the Bronx, described herself as a specialist in cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing thoughts that cause feelings or behaviors. Serious attacks by patients on their mental health providers are rare, but they do happen — usually in institutions that see more seriously ill patients. A psychiatrist in Nebraska died of head injuries in August, several days after a patient with a grudge and a history of violence attacked him as he arrived at a medical center. It is common for therapists who see patients in their homes or private offices to install alarm systems, or even help buzzers, in the event that a patient starts to lose control. In Manhattan, these safety systems are often complemented by the usual security systems for office buildings, which include doormen and video cameras. "Safety is always a concern," Brennan said. She added that therapists are thoroughly trained in how to assess a patient's potential for violence, and would normally see patients in a private setting only if they had determined that the safety risk was low.

TEST PREP AND ADMISSIONS Until now, all the early known fossil bats showed evidence of both flying and echolocating, so they couldn't reveal which ability came first, said researcher Nancy Simmons. The creature was unusual for having a claw on all five fingers rather than just one or two. Researchers dubbed it "Onychonycteridae finnei," meaning "clawed bat." The name honors Bonnie Finney, the commercial collector who found the fossil in 2003. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS Two specimens of the creature have been recovered. "These outstanding fossils considerably advance our understanding of bat evolution," researcher John Speakman of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland wrote in a Nature commentary. Its skeleton shows it could fly, but that it lacked a series of bony features associated with "echolocation," the ability to emit high-pitched sounds and then hear them bounce back from objects and prey, researchers said. The discovery revealed the most primitive bat known, from a previously unrecognized species that lived about 52 million years ago. Fossil expands knowledge of bats NEW YORK — A fossil found in Wyoming has apparently resolved a long-standing question about when bats gained their radar-like ability to navigate and locate airborne insects at night. The answer: after they started flying. BY MALCOLM RITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS Her team's research appears in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.

We all go through it. I, too, am sexually frustrated, but I don't mean that in the sense of not getting any from the honey on the third floor. I simply mean that I'm frustrated with the sexes, males vs. females. Why must we continue to live in a society where equality between men and women is lacking? It's 2008 already. Let's get on this. Being a girl who makes her living at an electronic store has been challenging. It's not because I struggle with learning new technology or soldering a wire to a circuit board. It's because I am a female. My expertise and my honest suggestions often get rejected based on my sex. Many times I am passed up or simply ignored. Other times, customers tell me that they wish to speak with a male associate, I comply with those customers' desires, and I simply keep my opinions to myself, questioning the true sense of equality between men and women. Last week, I was riding the bus to Park and Ride. (I had happened to leave my iPod at home), and I overheard a conversation taking place in front of me between two males. I am not one for eavesdropping, but overhearing this conversation was an insult. The two males were discussing how women should not be allowed to teach math or English, because as women, they are not knowledgeable in either subject. I was offended and slightly dumbfounded at this belief because it's absolutely not true. A study reported in the American Psychological Society Journal in 2000 found that women outperform men in both math and science by almost 12 percent. This article was not intended to rattle off statistics from a psychological journal or to be a ragging feminist. It's more about calling attention to an idea: Men and women are both capable of accomplishment in this word. If the gender divide continues to prevent women from performing, accomplishing, teaching or making suggestions, then society is hindered and biased. Inequality is something society has created. We must now revert to equality. Durbin is a Hays junior in journalism and English. 》 FROM THE DRAWING BOARD IN HONOR OF VALENTINE'S DAY; PLEASE ENJOY A ROBOT FIGHTING A SPACE- KRAKEN. MAX RINKEL I can't date someone so 'free for all' COMMENTARY Ayush Kumar DENNIS MERSMANN Dear Free For All. It's over. I'm breaking up with you. Things between us have run their course, but I don't want you to take this the wrong way. There's no gentle way to say this, so I'll be blunt. It's not me. It's you. I know that you've treated me well during the past few years. You've always been there for me. Ever since my first days on campus when I was still making new friends and I was a little lonely, you helped cheer me up. I got to know you, and I liked you. You made me laugh and you made me think. Eventually we started seeing each other every day, sometimes Then you gave me my phone number. That was a huge step for us, but it was exciting too. I felt like we were developing a real bond. in between classes. Sometimes we would start the morning together. Then one afternoon when I was bored, I called to tell you that Mizzou sucks. That's when you let me inside of you. It felt really good. I was giddy. I bragged to my friends about what happened, but they said it was no big deal. They said they had been in you three times already. Even though I was mad and didn't call you for a week, you were there and listened to me when I forgave you. That's when I knew we had something different than what either of us had had before. No matter what happened, we would be there for each other. You challenged me, too. Even when we disagreed, we could still get along. That only made us stronger. Remember how we used to argue about whether or not David Padgett sucked? You said he was holding the basketball team back, and I said he was only a freshman and would develop. And not to brag, but look who's the team captain at Louisville now. I guess you just aren't a good judge of talent. But we both knew this would happen eventually. Maybe we didn't expect it so soon, but you've changed. You spend all your time online and don't take my phone calls. You don't make time for us. I don't want to hear your empty promises about answering your voice emails again. It's too late to beeg. Ever since you joined Facebook, you seem more distant. I know we were never exclusive. I don't care that you see other people, but hooking up with people over the Internet and letting them submit everything to you? That's downright skanky. Sometimes when we meet up now, you don't even make sense. It's like you're talking backwards or something. And last week you misspelled Lew Perkins' name four times in one day. Are you just cutting and pasting? That's serious stuff. You could get addicted. I don't think you even use spell check anymore. That's just lazy and unsafe. You have to use protection. Let's just make a clean break now, and go our separate ways. I'll cherish the good memories. Like when we exchanged Chuck Norris jokes all the time. You used to love Chuck Norris. Maybe that should have been a clue that you were wishy-washy. You'd always talk about one thing for a week and then act like it was the la最圣 thing ever. I know this comes as a blow on Valentine's Day, but I just can't take it any more. You annoy the crap out of me. I think it's best if we don't see each other again.

After acquiring one of Fuseli's most notable works, "Nightmare," and publishing a best-selling book on Fuseli's life and work, Chapman's life suddenly begins spiraling downward. In the process, Chapman's supposed model life is violently destroyed along with the life of the woman who adores him, his wife Valerie.

The Jawahires battled the Buffaloes 70-59 and improved to 14-9 overall and 3-7 in the Big 12. Allen Fieldhouse turnaround Women return favor for Buffaloes at home after falling earlier in Colorado tbern@kansan.com BY TAYLOR BERN After Kansas' impressive performance in a 64-58 loss to Kansas St. on Saturday, senior Taylor McIntosh said that the way her squad was playing didn't at all resemble the team that took the court in Boulder less than a month ago. Wednesday night the Jayhawks proved McIntosh right, converting from the free-throw line and recording a season-high nine blocks to brush off the Buffalooes for a 70-59 victory. Everything that Kansas failed to do in its 59-41 loss in Boulder, coach Bonnie Henrickson's team did in Allen Fieldhouse. "When they tried to make a run we answered the run," Henrickson said. "Our free throws were great and we're starting to grow up and starting to play with some more toughness." PAGE1B Junior guard Ivana Catic said, "When we were there we came out of the gate like crazy and made a big run. Then we stopped playing and just hoped that it was going to happen for us." There was no hoping from the Jayhawks Wednesday, just action. To start the game Kansas fed the ball to center Krysten Boogaard down low and the freshman responded with eight junk points. Getting Booagard the ball early has been the game plan the past few contests because Hendrickson finds that it has a calming effect on the rest of the team. "The fact that we can go to her and she's a high-percentage offensive weapon, it gets everyone else to take a deme breath" He deep breath," Henrickson said. "I was just being big, using my size to create some things," McCraay said. advantage with 14 first half points on her way to a game high 24. Kansas (14-9, 3-7) shot nearly 58 percent from the field in the first half to take a 38-31 advantage into halftime. "Our free throws were great and we're starting to play with some more toughness." The extra attention paid to Boogaard allowed other players more freedom, and sophomore guard Danielle McCray took Buffs freshman forward Brittany Spears BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas Women's Basketball Coach - who played with badges to stop a bloody nose caused from incidental contact in the first half - battled to keep her team in the game. With 15:40 left she drilled a threepointer and made the score 43-41, but Kansas would go up four just a minute later and never let Colorado (13-11-2. 9) get within three again. The Jayhawks defense was their biggest improvement from the first half to the second as they held the Buffaloes to a meager With a 60-55 lead and the shot clock winding down, Catic - normally happy to pass the ball - attacked the rim and drew a foul on a made layup. Catic finished with 10 points while Boogaard recorded 16 points and eight rebounds. McCray added 10 rebounds to her 24 points and said her team had made some big strides lately. 27 percent shooting. "I knew at that point that I had to make a play" Catic said. "We're just more mentally tough and more aggressive," McCray said. "We play together and our huddles are more tight - we just know that we have to stick together because all we have is us." Kansas ied the game at the charity stripe where they finished 23-for-32.

Kansas had just scored 100 points in a victory against Baylor without making a three-pointer. "Unbelievable." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I can't imagine that." Sherron Collins certainly wasn't bothered. "The game was going so fast we didn't realize," he said. The inability to shoot three pointers didn't seem so amazing two days later, when the Jayhawks struggled with their outside shots again in Monday night's loss to Texas. The loss highlighted a glaring problem: Kansas has been in a shooting slump from the perimeter in its last two games. An offense dependent on inside scoring can work as long as the post players get the ball. That didn't happen in the second half against Texas on Monday. After scoring 25 points in the first half, Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson only scored 10 after intermission. The Jayhawks made zero of nine three-pointers against Baylor and four of 17 against Texas (15 percent in the two games combined). Guards Collins, Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush have made only 27 of 66 total field goals (40 percent) in those games. Because of their inability to shoot the ball, Kansas has done the majority of its scoring with free throws and points in the paint. Of the 169 points the Jayhawks have scored the last two games, 137 of them have come from those two areas. The guards had to pick up the slack, and they didn't. Chalmers missed six shots, including four three-pointers. Rush and Collins each made one of three field goals. Robinson missed his only shot attempt. With the guards missing from the outside and hesitant to shoot the ball, the offense stalled. After scoring 42 points in the first half, the Jayhawks put up just 27 in the second half.

Thompson was heavily recruited and coach Ritch Price had him as his No. 1 pick before Thomas joined the team. Weston White/KANSAN BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com In the summer of 2006. Kansas coach Ritch Price made frequent trips to Nevada and his friends feared he was spending too much time at the poker tables in Las Vegas. In reality, Price never bet a dollar on those trips, but he was gambling. Price was staking a summer's worth of travel to the Silver State on convincing his No. 1 recruit to come to Kansas. Nearly two years after Price's first trip to Reno, Nev., he can still recall it vividly. Price first arrived in Reno to watch a showcase tournament featuring teams made up of high school juniorts from the area. In search of future Jayhawks, Price didn't have to look hard to find a player he wanted. A two-way player representing the High Desert League named Tony Thompson stole the show. As Price remembered in a game against "At that point in time, he was my guy," Price said. "I targeted him as the No. 1 guy on my recruiting list. He'll probably tell you I went to Reno about four times that summer to see him play in person so every time he was in a tournament he'd see a Jayhawk coach." Price's dedication — and ability to avoid casinos on those trips to Nevada — paid off last year when Thompson signed to play baseball at Kansas. This season, Thompson is pencilled in as Kansas' start- one University of Nevada-Reno, Thompson went 3-for-4 and hit a home run over the light tower in left field. That feat alone was enough to bring Price back to Reno a month later during a Connie Mack League tournament. In the semifinals, Thompson's team trailed by three runs with two outs in the ninth inning. But when he stepped to the plate, the bases were loaded. With one swing of the bat Thompson sent his team to the next round. ✓ A But Thompson hardly comes off as a hot-shot recruit who's well on his way to a Major League career. He can barely believe Price put so much effort into recruiting him. ing third baseman and could be one of the top freshmen in the Big 12, if not the nation. By the time his Kansas career is over, his name may be etched in the Kansas record book. "Hed usually call me and tell me he was coming out and he'd wait after the game." Thompson said of Price. "It was kind of an honor to have someone come that far just to see me." 1 Of course, Thompson wasn't giving any college coaches reason to stay out of Reno. As a junior, he was named first team all-state after batting .468 with 16 home runs and 53 RBI. In addition, he was 7-3 with a 2.19 ERA and 56 strikeouts that season as a pitcher for Galena High School.

It was so amazing." The Kansas Track and Field Team's visit to the New Balance CollegeI Invitational last weekend was a profound success. The 22nd ranked men and 18th ranked women faced a huge field of competitors, filled with some of the best teams in the nation, and managed to come away with three victories. Sultanova won the women's pole vault after she set a new meet record and automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville, Ark. Her gift of 4.30 meters (14 feet, 1.25 inches) is currently the highest jump made by a woman in the country. Following Sultanova's performance, sophomore pole-vaulter Jordan Scott had the opportunity to make his mark. "It was really cool to watch her (Sultanova) break the meet record and tie her PR with the best jump in America. And then I got on the runway knowing what she had just done and wanted to do really well too because there's no excuse if someone else did that well." Scott met his high expectations by doing essentially the same as Sulanona. He won the event and set a new meet record with his automatic NCAA qualifying jump of 5.50 meters (18.5 feet.) Regarding his trip to New York City, Scott said, "Thursday and Friday we got to walk around the city and sightsee. By the time I got to jump on Saturday, I felt like I was at home" The Jayhawks might as well have been at home. In addition to Scott and Sultanova's domination, senior Egor Agafonov set yet another meet record in the men's weight throw. His 22.13-meter thrown landed him an automatic trip to the NCAA Championships. Agafonov was the first student-athlete in the nation this year to break the 22-meter mark. Junior sprinter Nickesha Anderson continued to shine in New York as well. She broke her own school record in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.28 seconds. The performance was good enough for a respectable fourth place. Anderson wasn't the only one to run a season best time in New York. Jiles' performance in the 60-meter hurdles was his best this season as "I had the greatest start of my life," he said. "Coming out of the blocks, I really didn't expect to be in front all ready." well. He placed ninth with a time of 7.88 seconds. liles' excitement isn't limited to his own performance. "The team is coming together a lot more quickly than I thought we would," he said. "I'm expecting us to be at least in the top four at the end of the season." Junior sprinter Jarrell Rollins ran the 500-meter dash for the first time this season and faired well. He took eighth place with a time of 4.19 seconds. Rollins said the New Balance Invitational gave the Jayhawks positive momentum. "A performance like this gives us great confidence going into the Big 12 Conference Championship," he said. The Jayhawks hope to take their positive energy from New York into their meets this weekend. The team will split up between the ISU Classic in Ames, Iowa and the Tyson Invitation in Fayetteville, Ark. "I'm expecting a lot of big things to happen this weekend," liles said. "Everybody's a lot more focused just because they went into an atmosphere where it was just like a national championship meet." ANS Senior pole-vaulter Kate Sultanova competes at the Jayhawk Classic on Jan. 25th. The Jayhwaks participated last week at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York City. Edited by Mandy Earles >> NFL No regrets for destruction of Spygate tapes ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., face-to-face that he doesn't regret destroying the Spygate tapes. "I think it was the right thing to do," Goodell said Wednesday after meeting for more than an hour with Specter, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary committee. Goodell noted that "we were the ones that disclosed" the New England Patriots' illegal taping of the New York Jets' defensive signals. "I have nothing to hide." Goodell said. Specter requested the meeting so Goodell could explain his decision to destroy the tapes and notes from the case, which go back to 2002. Patriots coach Bellichick was fined $500,000 and the team was fined $250,000. The Patriots also forfeited a first-round draft pick. Goodell said that Belichick, New England's coach since 2000, told him that he believed the taping was legal, implying that he's been doing it since he has been the head coach. Goodell said he did not concur. Specter has questioned the quality of the NFLs investigation into the matter and has raised the possibility of congressional hearings if he wasn't satisfied with Goodell's answers. Specter also raised the threat of Congress canceling the league's antitrust exemption and reiterated that in the meeting with Goodell. Goodell said he has offered Walsh a deal whereby "he has to tell the truth and he has to return anything he took improperly." Goodell also said he reserves the right to reopen the investigation if more information is uncovered.

However, it was Price — the coach who traveled the greatest distance to see Thompson — who landed the prize recruit. "The thought of moving away was the hardest for me because all the schools I wanted to go to were so far away," Thompson said. "But the coaches were awesome and just knowing I'd have a chance to play in the Big 12 and hopefully go to the College World Series was the biggest deal for me." Considering Kansas hasn't reached a College World Series since 1993, those expectations might seem a little lofty, but they aren't much higher than the expectations for Thompson himself. Price cautioned that Thompson is sure to endure the growing pains that most freshmen go through early on, but he doesn't expect Thompson to take long to adjust to the speed of the college game. By season's end. Price said hed like to see Thompson hitting around .300 with double-digit home runs and, most of all, playing solid defense. "He has really good hands, he has a plus arm and he profiles as a professional third baseman." Price said. "If he plays well defensively, I know he's going to play. He's going to struggle, there's no doubt. Every freshman struggles the first half, but if he can handle it mentally and not bury himself. I think when the season's over he'll have very good numbers." And by the time Thompson's Kansas career is over, he could solidify himself as Kansas' single-season and career record holder in home runs. Travis Metcalf, who is now with the Texas Rangers, is Kansas' current leader in both categories, with 18 home runs in 2004 and 29 in his career, but the latter may fall by season's end. Seniors Erik Morrison and Ryne Price, who both have 24 career runs, are on pace to surpass Metcalf's career mark. Coach Price isn't a betting man, but he won't be surprised if Thompson owns both records within three years before pursuing a professional career of his own. "When I walked on this campus five years ago and Travis Metcalf was standing next to me, I thought 'This guys has a chance to be a big time player,' Coach Price said. "He fulfilled his dream and I think Tony has that same type of future."

Kan. Royals baseball players, coaches and other team members are visiting cities in the Midwest. BY ALAN ESKEW ASSOCIATED PRESS Sean Steffen/ASSOCIATED PRESS SURPRISE, Ariz. — Officially, the Kansas City Royals open spring training on Thursday with pitchers and catchers. In truth, most of the team's 31 pitchers and seven catchers have been in for volunteer workouts for a week at the invitation of rookie manager Trey Hillman. three in the Royals' rotation, plus veteran catchers John Buck and Miguel Olivo. Beyond the pitchers and catchers, several position players including David DeJesper, Joey Gathright, Billy Butler, Ryan Shealy and Alex Gordon were also at camp "I don't know any specific counts," Hillman said of the early This is my perception: that there's a lot of energy very early. I don't believe there is any way of thinking that's a bad thing. TREY HILLMAN Manager arrivals. "It's not been a priority of mine, simply because it was the unofficial official invite camp." At least 30 players already working out. Among the early arrivals were Gil Meghe, Brian Bannister and Zack Greinke, who are the top early. The first full squad workout is not scheduled until Tuesday. " T h e r e seems to be a little excitement in the air," Hillman said. "It's very exciting for me. This is my perception: that there's a lot of energy very early. I don't believe there is any way of thinking that's a bad thing." Besides Hillman, who spent the past five years managing Japan's Nippon Hamp Fighters, Kansas City has two new coaches, Rusty Kuntz and Dave Owen.

European imports & diesels may be higher. Hillman will have his pitchers throw to hitters on Thursday. "I'm going out on a limb here, but I suspect we'll be the only club throwing live batting practice the first day of pitcher's-catchers reporting," Hillman said. Hillman said the pitchers would have a screen in front of them when throwing batting practice. "That is not optional, and the hitters will all wear helmets," Hillman said. "I've seen guys move that screen out of the way and get smoked on the shin. I've never seen a major injury from it, but I've seen contusions that put you two to four days behind. You can't afford to get behind. We're trying to get ahead. We've got spots open." The Royals have finished last in the American League Central the past four years, including three 100-loss seasons from 2004-06. Hillman and his coaching spent most of Wednesday in meetings with general manager Dayton Moore, scouts and other front office personnel. "It is going to start getting faster; things are going to start speeding up," Hillman said. "I'm going to be open-minded about everybody that is invited to camp. Do something to grab our attention without hurting yourself. I don't want guys coming out the first day trying to make the club. We always have to evaluate in spring training, but we always have to put the spring training evaluations in perspective." KANSAS 15 Junior guard Mario Chalms shooting a three-pointer during the men's basketball game at Texas Feb. 11, 2008. Jon Goering/KANSAN BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "We just missed a lot of open shots," Chalmers said. "We had the looks. We just couldn't knock them down." The recent decline in shooting from the guards is a bit surprising, as earlier this season they shot much better. The four-guards had been shooting 44 percent from the field before the Baylor game and 40 percent from beyond the three-point arc. These statistics show that the last two games could be an anomaly. Good shooters can go through bad streaks. Still, this isn't a problem the Jayhawks can take lightly. If the guards continue to struggle from the outside, Kansas' offense becomes highly one-dimensional. The Jayhawks have to go inside when the guards are missing, and the Longhorns showed that a good team can shut down the low post offense. For Kansas to regain its spot near the top of the polls and to contend for the Big 12 title, Chalmers, Rush, Robinson and Collins all need to regain the shooting form they showcased for most of the season. "It's very wide open." Chalmers said about the conference. "We just have to keep playing our ball and keep being focused." They also might want to make their open jump shots again.

Alpha Delta Pi lost to Chi Omega 23-40 Tuesday evening. Intramural teams go on the defensive in the last minutes Pharmacy grabs the victory from Got It From My Mama FELLWHITNEYHAMILTON whamilton@kansan.com As Pharmacy and Got It From My Mama practiced minutes before last night's game at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, each team got a sense of the competitiveness in the air. By the time the first half began, the intensity of both teams made it clear that this wasn't going to be an easy vicotry. Even through the last minutes, the teams tried to put more points on the scoreboard. But, Got It From My Mama fell short and Pharmacy took home the 54-49 victory. At tip-off Got It From My Mama player Jorden Bates, Hoisigton junior, grabbed the ball. But, a Pharmacy's defensemen blocked passes and Clint Freeman, Osawatome Kansas alumni, stole the ball. With help and some blind passes from teammates, Michael Hansford, Topeka senior and Pharmacy player, drove down the court and scored a two point field goal. Its defense quickly moved to the other side of the court awaiting Got It From My Mama. Got It From My Mama wasn't going to let the defense stop it from making shots. The team made deep passes and used inside shooting to score field goals throughout the game. With a two-on-one defense, Freeman was able to cross dribble through Craig Bates, Leavenworth senior, for an effortless layup. By the end of the first half, Got It From My Mama had seven fouls, while Pharmacy only had two. The first half ended with Pharmacy leading by 11. As both teams hydrated, they discussed the strengths of their opponent and how to better themselves. For the next few minutes before the start of the second half, Matthew Morrison, Dodge City junior, told his teammates to keep pressing and block out to keep the lead. The game turned ugly when players from Got It From My Mama questioned the referees calls and taunted Pharmacy during its free throws. Throughout the second half, Got It From My Mama kept getting fouls, which made some teammates very upset with the calls from the referees. Towards the end of the half, the teams had a three-point field goal showdown. Players from both teams took every opportunity to put up three-pointers. For each swoosh of the net Pharmacy nailed from behind the arc, Got It From My Mama answered with the same. With only 28.6 seconds left in the game, Got It From My Mama called one last time out to set up one final play. Teamsmates told each other to shoot three-pointers any time they had the ball in an effort to send the game into overtime. Got It From My Mama fell short as shots whirled on the rim of the basket but fell out. Pharmacy's defense rebounded the ball and played keepaway while Got It From My Mama looked at the seconds ticking away on the clock. Pharmacy stayed focused as they continued to score baskets and ended the game with a close five point lead on Got It From My Mama. "Coming into the second half we picked up our defense to keep a steady lead," said Shannon Cork. Dodge City graduate student and Pharmacy plaver. Morrison added, "We had solid teamwork and hit each free throw down the stretch."

So did his chief accuser and former personal trainer, Brian McNamee. Former New York Yankees baseball pitcher Roger Clemens, right, lawyer Charles Scheeler center, and his former personal trainer Brian McNamee, are sworn-in before they testify on Capitol Hill in Washington, on Wednesday before the House Oversight, and Government Reform committee hearing on drug use in baseball. But, as ranking Republican Tom Davis of Virginia, put it: "Both can't be telling the truth." 》 BASEBALL Clemens and McNamee, once employer and employee, by all accounts once friends, sat at the same witness table and rarely, if ever, looked at the other. And after a four and a half hour hearing, Congress settled for a draw in the he-said, he-said between the two men over whether the seven-time Cy Young Award winner used performance-enhancing drugs. Ultimately, the matter may be referred to the Justice Department for a resolution—and possibly criminal charges. AUGUST 1973 "I haven't reached any conclusions at this point," said California Democrat Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Senate investigation concludes Clemens denies all allegations of steroid use in hearings His reputation and legacy on the line. Clemens gestured toward McNamee with his right arm and said, "I have strong disagreements with what this man says about me." At times, Clemens struggled to find the right words as he was pressed by lawmakers about McNamee's allegations — told to federal prosecutors and then baseball investigator George Mitchell — that he injected the pitcher with steroids and human growth hormone from 1998 to 2001. Clemens also was asked about new accounts of drug use made against him by former teammate and pal Andy Pettitt. Using words like "misremembered" and even mispronouncing McNamee's name at one point, Clemens raised his voice toward the end to interrupt Waxman's closing remarks. Waxman pounded his For many, his denials rang hollow. "I have never taken steroids or HGH." Clemens said after rising with McNamee to swear to tell the truth. "No matter what we discuss here today, I am never going to have my name restored." "It's hard to believe you, sir," Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, said. "I hate to say that. You're one of my heroes. But it's hard to believe." McNamee's answers were generally quick and concise. His credibility also came under scrutiny. "You're here under oath, and yet we have lie after lie after lie after lie," Rep. Dan Burton, an Indiana Republican, said. gavel and say, "Excuse me, but this is not your time to argue with me" Clemens briefly stared at McNamee, his former employee, during his accuser's opening statement, in which the trainer said he injected Clemens more times than he previously had said. Members of Congress questioned the credibility of both. Waxman — who opened the pro ceedings by saying he thought this would be the last hearing his committee holds on baseball — pointed out inconsistencies in Clemens' comments. Waxman also accused Clemens of possibly attempting to influence statements to the committee by the pitcher's former nanny. Burton repeatedly read remarks McNamee had made, and each time the former trainer was forced to admit they were untrue. “This is really disgusting. You’re here as a sworn witness. You’re here to tell the truth,” he said. “I don’t know what to believe, I know one thing I don’t believe and that you.” Cummings set the tone within minutes of the start, repeatedly reminding Clemens he was under oath and admonishing the pitcher to "keep your voice up." McNamee was asked to pull his microphone closer. Debbie Clemens, the pitcher's wife, sat behind her husband and listened as Waxman implicated her in HGH use, citing statements by Pettitte. Later, Clemens read a statement from his wife and said she "has been broken up over this." How else would you know I'm a KU fan? Get a free gift. Apply for your card during our next home game.

Her seven field goals are the most she's made in conference play and only one less than her season high. She said she tried to be more aggressive and take on more of the offensive load. With McCray drawing the defenses focus, freshman center Krysten Boogaard and junior guard Ivana Catic found more room to operate. Boogaard finished with 16 points and eight rebounds while Catic added 10 points and four assists. For the first nine games of Big 12 Conference play the dominant Danielle McCray who terrorized nonconference opponents with her dynamic play remained a distant memory. The sophomore guards' points per game and shooting percentages both dropped off as the Jayhawks struggled to replicate the form that gave them 11 victories in their first 13 games. Much of McCray's offensive success can be credited to her ability to get inside and draw contact. Since the conference season began the talented sophomore hadn't surpassed four foul shots in a single game. Against the Buffalooes she was 8-11 from the charity stripe. "When I went in, I just tried to be aggressive and tried to draw the contact as well as finish it," McCray said. "McCray was the best I've seen her all year," Colorado coach Kathy McConnell-Miller said. "She was just really effective. Her line looks good, obviously you do not want five turnovers, but everything else was solid. She was a difference maker tonight." Turns out the old McCray didn't disappear, she was just waiting for the right time to emerge. Wednesday night against Colorado, McCray poured in 24 points and ripped down 10 rebounds to lead Kansas to its third conference victory. come off of it. It's really good. I don't have to think about much except for getting her the ball." Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she thought McCray's energy was a catalyst for her team's play. In addition to her double-double, McCray contributed four assists, three blocks and three steals. Henrickson said both she and assistant coach Kyra Elzy saw the performance coming based on McCray's intensity and focus in practice. "She was more aggressive off the dribble, off the catch, to the boards and she was able to get the free- throw line tonight," Henrickson said. "She was able to manufacture some points at the free-throw line tonight. We really fed off of her and tonight she was more aggressive and more vocal."

Gay pride nights focus on diversity and dancing the night away By Deepa Sampat dsampat@kansan.com On a typical Wednesday night, Toni Grady, Dodge City junior, can probably be found dancing with her friends and having a drink at The Granada's new event, Pride Night. Grady says she is a regular on Pride Night because she likes the atmosphere and feels like she can be herself, and another perk is the cheap cover and drinks. Last month, The Granada became host to the weekly gay pride nights that used to be held at Liquid Bar and Nightclub.The event ended after Liquid closed last year for renovations. PhD] Chris, who used to deejay at Liquid, contacted Ryan Campbell, executive director of the KU student organization Queers and Allies, to see if the club would be interested in hosting pride nights at The Granada. Campbell, Olate junior, says it was an offer he couldn't refuse. "You are going to be in a crowd of people that you know are going to be really accepting," Campbell says. "It's a great time. Everyone lets loose and drinks too much, the bad decision-making because everyone has class the next day, but it's so fun." David Mixner gay rights activist and author of Stranger Among Friends, says pride nights strengthen communities as a whole, and community members should be supportive regardless of their sexual orientation. "They should never be afraid of meeting new people, new ideas and new ways," Mixner says. "Embracing diversity in our lives enables us to be richer and kinder people. Knowing different communities enables us to cut through fear and build bridges." Korrie Johnson, Queers and Allies activities coordinator and Topeka freshman, says that Pride Night is a good place to see old friends, meet new ones and be in a comfortable and accepting setting. Johnson says you don't have to be gay to have a great time at Pride Night. "It's not like a tall-people club where only tall people can go." Johnson says. "But we don't want people who are going to be disrespectful and make idiots of themselves." Pride Night happens every week, but on the second Wednesday of the month, Queers and Allies sponsors a themed Pride Night and the organization receives $2 of each cover charge.The first themed night was "Stoplight Night." in which people dressed in green if they were single, in red if they were taken and in yellow if their situation was "complicated." Queers and Allies made $460 from the event. "You are going to be in a crowd of people that you are going to be really accepting." Ryan Campbell A drag show by Diva DeVine and the Girls kicked off the first Pride Night. PhDJ Chris plays a variety of dance music, and Campbell says the music isn't that different from other clubs, though it wouldn't be gay night if Cher weren't on the playlist. Ashley Sutes, Overlan Park junior, went to Pride Night once and says she will probably go again. She says she went to gay nights at Liquid, but she likes The Granada better because there is more space and more people attend. "it's fun, there's dancing and there's a diverse group of people you might not see at other bars," Stites says. Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and a founder of Heritage of Pride, a nonprofit corporation that organizes gay pride events in New York City, says discrimination against the gay community is still a problem across the nation. It is still legal in 32 states, including Kansas, to discriminate based on sexual orientation, but Foreman says events like The Granada's Pride Night are a step in the right direction. "The atmosphere on many college campuses is light-years ahead of where we are of having legal equal rights," Foreman says."There is a perception out there that we are further along than we actually are, so my message to folks in college is we need your help, voice, energy and talent to help move forward."

The manager of Encore Cafe, Wanna Zhao, is a KU junior who has lived in China and New York.Wanna she opened Encore Cafe with the hope of bringing the New York Asian cuisine experience to Lawrence. And a big part of that experience, Wanna says, is karaoke. Engore Café has three small rooms that fit up to 10 people, and two rooms that can accommodate 20 people. Reserving one of the rooms costs $35 per hour; or you can just order a minimum $35 worth of food and drink, and the room is yours. Encore Café is open until 2 a.m. and welcomes customers to stay as long as they want whether they are eating, drinking, singing or just lounging.

Cut one-inch long slits on opposite sides of the toilet paper roll (think of the end of the roll as a clock and cut at 12 and 6 o'clock). If you're using a paper towel roll, cut it in half first. Fold the ends towards the middle to create a bottom for the roll. Tape or glue the ends together. 2. Find some used wrapping paper, scraps of cardstock or just some colorful markers to decorate the outside of the roll. Add stickers, glitter or writing to personalize the gifts. Print names on your creations if you're giving them as party favors or even as thank-you gifts. 3. Attach ribbon or string to the top to create a handle.

But for $10, you can make an entire cookie sheet of this crunchy yet juicy Greek dessert. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and an hour to bake. Gillian Armstrong, Manhattan junior, was kind enough to share her recipe for baklava and make a batch. Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups white sugar 6 1/2 oz. melted butter 1/4 cup honey 12 oz. ready-made filo dough 15 oz. finely chopped walnuts 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 teaspoons group cinnamon 1 1/2 cups water Directions: Start by making the syrup that you will pour over the layers of filo dough. Pour sugar and $1 \frac{1}{2}$ cups of water into a saucepan and stir over high heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then boil for five minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the syrup thickens slightly. It usually takes about five minutes. Stir in $1 \frac{1}{4}$ cup honey and $1 \frac{1}{4}$ cup lemon juice and cook on high for two minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool. Brush the base and sides of the baking tin with melted butter. Next, cover the base with a single layer of filo dough, lightly brush again with butter and repeat until 10 sheets have been used. Combine the ground walnuts and cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle half the nut and cinnamon mixture evenly over the pastry. Repeat the buttering and layering of five more filo sheets, sprinkle with the remaining nut mixture, then continue layering 10 more sheets of filo dough. Using a large, sharp knife, cut the pastry into diamond shapes, making sure to cut through the bottom layer. Bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. Then lower the temperature to 300 degrees and bake for 30 more minutes. Immediately after baking, re-cut your diamond markings, then strain syrup evenly over the top. To achieve the right texture and crunch,Armstrong says it's important for the syrup to be cold and the baklava to be piping hot. - Josh Patterson ThisValentine's Day SCREW Diamonds Tattoos are FOREVER! big daddy CADILLAC'S 938 MASS STREET DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE WWW.BRK.TATTOO.COM 785-312-8288 Hospital Sterilization $ ^{*} $ Kana'i' Best + Award Winning Artists $ ^{*} $ Precisaio Piercing $ ^{*} $ Specializing in Custom Artwork ... 06 02.14.2008 VOL.5 ISS.20 interesting fact "Strawberry Fields" was named for a real place: Strawberry Field, a children's home run by the Salvation Army in Liverpool. -www.eskimo.com/ 'bpentium/facts.html --- contact the writer: pbaldwin@kansan.com, com, jpatterson@kansan.com what it's like TO FLY IN A FIGHTER JET Imagine you're sitting in the cockpit of a T-38 Talon fighter jet, thousands of feet in the air and pushing over 300 mph.

More than two years ago, Jennifer Harnes, Ottawa, Kan., junior, joined the blog ring"Ottawa may suck but the band rocks." Peter Metzger, who lived in Ottawa, Ohio, messaged Harnes, thinking she was a fellow high school band member. Harnes and Metzger, a sophomore at Bethel College in Mishawaka, Ind., soon realized their misunderstanding—a misunderstanding that led to chatting online and talking on the phone. As they got to know each other, they learned how similar their beliefs and interests were, and it wasn't long before their conversations were lasting for hours. Harnes and Metzger met in person for the first time in December, and the couple made their relationship official on New Year's Eve—an easy way to remember your anniversary, Harnes says.

Each corner reflects a different area of her life, be it love, prosperity or health. To most people, a green bedspread is no different than a blue one, unless they have an aesthetic preference. But Latham, Republic sophomore, is convinced her green and blue bedspread is making her sick. Latham practices Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of arranging objects to create harmony in an environment. She has arranged her room into nine distinct squares, and each square only contains items and colors that are appropriate to it. An exception is the green and blue bedspread, which sits in the health square of her room. According to Feng Shui principles, blue is not a good color for health, and Latham plans to change the bedspread as soon as she can afford it. Until she does, she can plan on being sick. "My bedroom directly affects my life." P she explains as she sips on some hot tea to help with her cold. dedicated a corner of your However, you don't need to subscribe to the idea of Feng ShuI to see a correlation between yourself and your bedroom. Whether you have "later" owner of your room to relationships, you can't leave the house without making your bed or you organize your clothes in piles on the floor, your space can say something about you. One of Latham's first projects began about six months ago when she decided to beef up the relationship corner of her room. One month after outfitting it with red colors and flowers, Latham began to start casually dating for the first time since high school."I called my mom, and asked 'Mom, what are three things I never do?'" Drugs, drinking and dating, her mother replied. "Well, I'm doing one of those things," she said. The response from her mother? "What? You're drinking?" Although Latham and her roommate both practice Feng Shui, only three KU students list it as an interest on Facebook. In fact, the majority of students can be lumped into two different categories: those who are messy and those who are clean. There is some wiggle room between the two – not all students will Amor be entirely messy or entirely clean - but those with bedrooms that tend toward one extreme admit that their room does reflect their personality. Lesley Latham lounges on her blue and green beds Shui, having the color blue Brad Dillard, Wichita senior, describes himself as a laidback, carefree person. A quick look into his room will confirm that. The room is dimly lit, and the floor is littered with clothes, both clean and dirty. He says he can tell what's clean and what isn't, though to the untrained eye it might be difficult. A couple dirty plates sit atop the television. Dillard will take them upstairs to the kitchen sooner or later, but he's in no rush. "I'm far from upright," he explains. This doesn't mean Dillard is irresponsible or unsanitary, though. His room hasn't been thoroughly tidied up in a while, but it doesn't give off any offensive odo says O Incia Omit me she orga 08 02.14.2008 VOL.5 ISS.20 interesting fact: The Yellow Submarine movie poster was #20 on "The 25 Best Movie Posters Ever" list. —in and I feature [ ] ME d green bedsphe the color blue Leavenworth sophomore Brian Cordes says his unorganized room matches his laidback, carefree personality. n and odor it isn't. says cult.

"I'm not a slobby asshole or anything." Dillard On the opposite side of the spectrum is Erinardi, Leawood sophomore. Although living in Chioga sorority with three roommates has made more difficult for her to keep clean than when was in high school, Inciardi is still incredibly sized. get stressed out when things are messy." Inciardi says. For that reason, she spends about 20 to 30 minutes a day putting things away or organizing her room. Drawers, desktops and laundry all must be neatly arranged before she can relax. "Sometimes I can't sleep until I make sure everything is tidied up," she explains. Indeed, every night before bed, she puts her books into her backpack to get ready for the next day. Laura Leist, certified professional organizer and author of Eliminate Chaos, a book about how to get organized,says everybody has different ways of doing it. For instance, Leist explains that some people just aren't good at putting things away in drawers and out-of-sight places. Visual organizers can forget visual organizer's can forget where something is if it's not out in plain sight, while others like Inciardi prefer everything to be tucked away neatly. That could explain why Dillard and other students like Brian Cordes, Leavenworth sophomore, don't put their clothes in drawers. "I seem to forget about things in drawers and find them again months later," Cordes says. Instead, he just piles things up on his floor and on top of his desk. This leaves his room quite a mess, but as long as the clothes and other junk stay on his side of the room, he says his roommate doesn't seem to mind. Unfortunately for his roommate, Cordes would probably be messy even if he did use all his drawers. He admits to keeping six pairs of shoes in the room, even though he wears the same ones every day. He hasn't worn one pair in four years. Leist says that it is common for people to have trouble parting with items that could still be potentially useful."Some people want to keep control of all their things, even if they don't need them, because some other area of their life is out of control." Leist says. While Cordes doesn't seem to have an emotional attachment to anything in his room save his television, he does say that his parents gave up policing the cleanliness of his room when he was about 12 years old. He hasn't seen the floor since. Inciardi's household is a little different in that respect. She has always kept her room clean, but her mother, Pam, takes it an extra step by cleaning out drawers and closets a few times a year and donating any unused items to Goodwill. You could say Inciardi inherited her tidiness from her mother, but her mother says Inciardi's vigilance even surprises her sometimes. "We were going out to dinner for my birthday last year, and it was the end of the semester, so Erin had just moved all her stuff from school back to her bedroom." Pam remembers. "We had reservations and took two cars to the restaurant. Erin and her sister were supposed to meet us there. They were late because she couldn't stand to leave her room a mess." Inciardi remembers that night and laughs, though she says she felt a bit more like crying at the time. Even though her neatness can cause her some stress when she least needs it, she thinks it helps her get better grades. She takes all her notes with different colored pens, and intricately highlights handouts and study guides. Daily to-do lists keep her on top of all her assignments. Cordes says his personality is much like his room: scattered. "If I tell a story, I can't stay on the same path; I go in different directions," he says. "I can be holding my phone and not know where it is." This leaves him scrambling when it comes time to do schoolwork, and he spends more time looking for things than he does actually studying. Despite this, he doesn't write his assignments down. "I've got a good memory," he says. Though Cordes' haphazerard approach to organization may be troublesome when he can't find things, some experts think being messy can actually boost productivity and efficiency. The book A Perfect Mess by Eric Abrahamson and David H. Freedman says the ability to improvise and deal with random and inevitable changes to plans and routines is an important skill. When such things come up in life, a messy person may be better equipped to improvise a solution, and they could save a lot of time by not organizing things every day. Leist would argue that Liardi's more structured approach to organization is more efficient and effective than cleaning sporadically or not at all. "It's a lifestyle that you choose, and if there are defined places for things, you want to always have those place be kept constant," Leist says. "It's kind of like a fitness routine. Let's say you go on a diet and lose a bunch of weight. In order to maintain that weight loss, you need to work at it a little bit each day." Every method of organization has its pros and cons, and everyone is different, so it only stands to reason that everyone will have different ways of arranging their things and their bedrooms.

Gonorrhea, as it turns out, has a very well-known and very fitting nickname: the clap. Daytha Lindburg, a physician's assistant in obstetrics and gynecology at Mowery Clinic in Salina, says the term "the clap" has roots in World War I. Some of the soldiers had gonorrhea during the war,and the doctors had no idea how to cure it.The disease causes severe pain in men, so the doctors knew they had to do something. Their solution, says Lindburg, was to have two men stand on either side of the alling soldier and literally clap their hands together on his penis in an effort to release the discharge inside. [图示] 手指间无明显间隙，皮肤与指甲有轻伤。 The remedy sounds horrifying, but Lindburg says a lack of sufficient antibiotics required desperate measures. "They had no alternative," she says. "I think that at times, the poor fellows actually felt better afterward." - Kaitlyn Syring So, unfortunately for some men in the early 1900s, the "clap" makes perfect sense. good for you bad for you SNACKING BEFORE YOU SLEEP Many health-conscious folks worry that eating before bed will lead to the body storing all that food in the form of fat overnight as the metabolism slows down. And, while the metabolism does slow while you sleep, this doesn't mean you have to go to bed hungry. Dan Kottmann, a specialist in performance nutrition, says many foods can actually be beneficial to eat before bed. Kottmann emphasizes the need to consume proteins, which digest slowly and can thus keep the body's metabolism active during your sleeping hours. Kottmann says the best form of protein comes from protein shakes, dairy or eggs. Protein powder for shakes costs around $20 for a two-pound bottle, and the shakes make an easy bedtime snack or a cure for midnight hunger cravings. Generations of adaptation have programmed our bodies to prepare us for starvation. When our bodies are deprived of food, they feed on muscle to stay energized. However, a pound of muscle can burn as many as 50 calories a day. So, by increasing protein that the body can use to build muscle at night, you are actually helping your body reduce fat in the long run. Nichole Habashy, Wichita senior, says she recently became more health-conscious when it comes to late-night snaking. While she used to eat popsicles to abate late-night hunger, Habashy now snacks on cottage cheese,another good source of protein, Kottmann says you should eat about 15 to 20 minutes before bed to give your stomach some time to begin digesting the food. He says you should also not shy away from getting up in the middle of the night to eat something healthy if you are hungry. Staying away from carbohydrates and fatty foods is also essential to keeping off those extra pounds. These types of food have less value to adding to muscle and thus get stored as fat more easily. Kottmann says trying to remember to eat healthy when drunk could also be a way to minimize the effects of sleeping on a full stomach of beer.

At the grocery store, when asked if you want paper or plastic, your answer should be neither. Plastic bags are made from polyethylene, which, like all plastics, is derived from oil. According to www.worldwatch.org, fewer than 1 percent of plastic bags are recycled, leaving the other 100 billion to clog streams and take up space in landfills. It takes 11 barrels of oil to make a ton of plastic bags. Our reliance on this seemingly innocent staple of American life could be continuing our country's dependence on oil from the Middle East. Because of the plastic bags' detrimental effects on the environment, San Francisco banned them last year. It is the first city in the United States to do so, but other large cities like Boston and Chicago are considering similar proposals. Even though nothing that green is growing in the Plastic bags: by the numbers - Plastic bags take 1,000 years to disintegrate in landfills - Less than 1 percent of bags are recycled - Widespread use in supermarkets started in 1980 84 billion bags are used every year in the United States Sources: GOOD magazine, www.reusablebags.com Midwest, consumers can still curb the amount of waste generated by their everyday shopping habits. Some stores in the Lawrence area offer a discount for customers who bring in their own bags. Both The Merc, 901 Iowa St, and all Dillons stores offer a five cent discount for every reused bag. "We do this for grocery bags, produce bags and coffee bags," says Janie Wells, general manager of The Merc. "I started in 1996, and we've been offering the discount at least since then." Sheila Rowrie, Dillons spokesperson, says that Dillons has been offering the discount "for as long as any of us can remember;" and that she has been with the company for 11 years. Even though five cents may not seem like much money, the spare change adds up over time. The problem with offering this discount is that many customers have no idea that it even exists. Rowrie says that the discount is not explicitly advertised. "It's more of a word-of-mouth thing," she says. Wells says that The Merc has some instore signs about the discount and that it is occasionally mentioned in advertisements or newsletters. For people who don't see the environmental benefits of using reusable bags, they need to be notified of the four Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle remember this phrase) and shown the monetary benefit they would gain. Larger chain stores, such as Wal-Mart, do not offer a discount for bringing in your own bag, but assistant manager Robert Garner at the store at 3300 Iowa says that the store welcomes people who want to BYOB. ays unt er" pany not spare "Cust. $1 at the sto. "You can bring your own bags in—that's fine," he says. "We probably don't offer a discount because we have a very big recycling program that the company uses for all stores, so that the bags are used as many times as possible." Although reusable bags are omnipresent at all types of stores now, larger corporations are still dragging their feet on the issue. "Customers can buy a reusable bag for $1 at the store, but we do not offer a merchandise discount." Wal- Mart spokesperson Bill Wertz says."That may be something we'll consider in the future, but I wouldn't want to speculate at this point." Bringing cloth bags to the grocery store is more common now than it was in the 1980s or 1990s, Janie Wells says. She estimates that 30 percent of The Merc's customers now bring their own bags. Wells says that The Merc has resisted charging customers for using the store's bags, a trend that is becoming increasingly popular on the West Coast "It's the Midwest," she says. "That's pretty harsh. I would rather approach this through education and offering a reward for making a good choice." Now that you've got the facts, don't be left holding the wrong bag. To Wal-mart or not to Wal-mart Environmentalists typically turn up their noses at anything Wal-Mart-related, but the company recently started to become more environmentally friendly. At the Wal-Mart Live Better Sustainability Summit last October, www.greenbiz.com reported that Wal-Mart has developed several environmentally friendly initiatives, such as a goal to sell 100 million compact fluorescent light bulbs, a five-year plan to reduce packaging,"personal sustainability programs" for its employees and a general goal of sustainability. Even though Wal-Mart is making a good effort to jump on the green band-Prius, it should probably not be the top choice for people who are looking to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. The eco-label might still be a little too much for the company to swallow, and CEO Lee Scott was quoted in the GreenBiz article as saying. "We have simply started this process. We lay no claims to being a green company." *Featuring a taste of CHICAGO! ...ALWAYS good food, good friends, good times! @ Wayne&Larry's 933 10WA Contact the writer: keith@kansan.com interesting fact: Paul McCartney got "Rigby" from the name of a store and "Eleanor" from actress Eleanor Bron.

So I decided to check out some of the other enchanting saloons, pubs, clubs and taverns that this town has to offer.And, what the hell, why not all in one night? The following are my observations and meditations throughout this journey. FRIDAY JAN 25, 2007 10:12 p.m. Shenago Lounge I begin my night at the Shenago Lounge, 2907 W.6th St. This place is intimate: two pool tables, a popcorn machine and a few tables that belong in an office break room. The bar glows red from the billiard lighting and neon beer signs. There is a thick stench of cigarette smoke, but not the usual outside-the-bar scent I'm used to. It's strangely welcoming, though. It is more like old people smoke. It reminds me of my grandmother's living room. I approach the bar and the bartender tries to guess my age. A lady sitting next to me joins the game. She decides that I am around her son's age—she'll go with 24. The bartender bets that I'm 26. I order a beer and sit down to write. Everyone sits at the bar except for a lone pool player. I count 14 people, one dog, six moustaches, two mullets. The dog stares at me from two feet away, holding a stuffed animal in its mouth. I feel a lot of love in the room. Everyone here is Shakespeare Lounge A view from outside the Shenago Lounge, 2907 W. 6th St. I've heard many people talk about going to Duffy's, 2222 W. 6th St., for the karaoke and cheap Long Island ice teas. I walk in and I am knocked back by the lurid smell. It is like a cat lady's house. I sit down and the bartender calls me "boss." I think I've secretly always wanted that to happen. I order a Long Island ice tea because, apparently, that's what this place is known for. I take a sip and gag a little. a close friend of everyone else. I expect the Cheers theme song to play—right after the jukebox finishes with this strand of Motown hits. 10:43 p.m. Duffy's at the EconoLodge The smell grows worse every minute. This, mixed with the overwhelming amount of tequila in my drink, nauseates me. The walls have large chunks of wallpaper ripped off, there are holes in the ceiling and there is a ladder leaning against a wall. I don't understand how a bar can operate under these conditions, so I go searching for answers. I talk with the general manager of the EconoLodge, Randy Disoso, because he seems like a guy who would know things. He tells me that the bar is undergoing a complete renovation. He talks of hardwood floors, an Internet jukebox, and a projection screen. It all sounds very pretty. I must come back, but if I smell cats, never again. 11:14 p.m. Coyote's Night Club I came to Coyote's, 1003 E.23rd St., because I had heard rumors of a mechanical bull. I walk in and see no such machine; only a large barren dance floor. I decide that it is not worth the $2 cover. 11:31 p.m. Cross Town Tavern The Cross Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave., has a $5 cover. I am unsure if I should pay, but then a man runs by with a microphone yelling "No.Smoking. In. Side" to a beat while dancing. I decide it is well worth the money. This is by far the happiest bar I've been to all night. There is a lot of dancing, singing, hugging, and laughing. A man sits down next to me and tells me he's never seen me before. Then he asks me what kind of candy I like my bitches with. I talk to the owner, Anthony Gauna. He says this place is definitely a towney bar, but they've been seeing more students recently. It makes me wonder if other students have been straying from the regular college bars. I remember when Jet Lag was deemed a local bar. Now on a Thursday night you'll find nothing but students occupying the bar stools, throwing darts and clustering outside under clouds of smoke. 11:58 p.m. Charlie's East Side Grill & Bar Charlie's, 900 Pennsylvania St. isn't what I'm looking for. I see a group of college students. Screw this place. 12:22 a.m. Latino Si I walk in to Latino Si, 518 E. Locust, and experience one of the most surreal moments of my life. Every head in the bar turns towards me. The bartender whispers to a few people at the bar before approaching me. She looks at me curiously—not in a "are you 12?" kind of way, but in a "are you with the ABCs?" kind of way. I sit down and the bartender keeps stepping out of the bar and peering over at me. Techno mariachi music is blaring at around 120 decibels. The lighting makes me feel like I'm on an acid trip. The glares are too much to bare. I need to leave. As I'm driving away the bartender opens the door and looks both ways. She breathes a sigh of relief. 12:34 a.m. Shenago Lounge I head back to Shenago Lounge for an evening snack of freshly popped corn. Even though I don't fit in, I think I've found my niche. But none of you bastards can go there. You'll ruin it. Find your own dam bar. 12 02.14.2008 VOL.5 ISS.20 for more information: www.worldsbestbars.com photos by: Travis Brown music guy A road map to music utopia play By Ben Carmisa In light of the fact that today is Hallmark Appreciation Day (or more commonly called "Valentine's Day"), this column is going to be the four best songs to make out (and/or whatever else you'd like to do) to. Be forewarned that paying too much attention to the music can detract from other, far more interesting activities when with a lover. Anyone Else But You The Moldy Peaches This song might not really qualify for underground or unknown anymore, as it recently served as it was recently featured in the indie-now-mainstream breakout film Juno.The Moldy Peaches wrote this song, though it's performed by Ellen Page and Michael Cera in the film. Regardless, with lyrics like "Up up down down left right left right B A start / just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart / I don't see what anyone could see in anyone else but you," how can anyone not feel weak in the knees? West Coast Coconut Records the moldy peaches Some connoisseurs of Wes Anderson films (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums) may already be familiar with this band—then again, most probably aren't. Jason Schwartzman, star of countless Anderson films, recently released Nighttiming, the freshman effort of his solo side-project Coconut Records, and it is pretty impressive. I was having trouble deciding which song from this album to use for this list, and I only settled on "West Coast" because I love the intertwining classic and electric pianos. Honestly, this entire album would make a pretty good soundtrack to some heavy cudling. If "And I'll miss you / I'm going back home to the west coast. / I wish you / would put yourself in my suitcase. / I love you / standing all alone in a black coat" doesn't set the mood for some "what if I never see you again?" hanky-panky, then I don't know what will. Lovecraft in Brooklyn I think this might be among the pop-lest songs that The Mountain Goats have ever written, which really is saying something considering their discography lists 13 full-length albums, 14 single EPs and more than 30 other compilations and vinyls. This song isn't really romantic in a lyrical sense, but if you listen to it, I think you'll agree that the drum and guitar beats mixed with waning violins that then lead up to a powerful crescendo—much like something else you might be interested in. Come to think of it, the more time I spend writing this the more I realize that listening to the Mountain Goats while fooling around might just be the best fantasy I've ever had. Take It Easy [Love Nothing] I would be remiss to leave out Bright Eyes from any list of indie music, even if the band is much more popular than your typical indie group. This song starts with the line "first with your hands, then with your mouth," just in case she wasn't getting the message. That said, there really aren't any other lyrics in this song that you or your partner should listen to—though hopefully you're already too busy with other activities to pay attention to anything other than each other. dorothea pride We Are Famous across the state for our burgers, beer, and pizza You're not around for 55 years unless you've got something amazing to offer.

Pencil Icon reviews the eye In the past three years, Jessica Alba has starred in snoozers like Fantastic Four, Into The Blue and Good Luck Chuck. But it's not bad acting that ruins her movies. It's her MTV body which attracts profit-obessed studios that want movies with sex appeal and non-stop action at the expense of good old-fashion storytelling. In The Eye, an adaptation of a Chinese film released in 2002, Alba's character, Sydney, gets a cornea transplant that grants her sight, but at a lofty price: She sees dead people (gasp!). Of course, it takes a while for her doctor (Alessandro Nivola, who looks like a not-so-buff Dr. Kevin Lenihan) to buy her story, but when he finally comes around they venture to Mexico to uncover the mystery of her donor. To say that what they find is anticlimacytic gives the movie too much credit, for it implies that sufficient suspense was built up during the course of the movie so that a disappointing ending was even possible. Co-directors David Morneau and Xavier Palud's idea of rising action is a cheap shriek every five minutes with a jessica Alba shower scene thrown somewhere in the middle.

The staccato of exploding fireworks joils him when he's not expecting it. He'll look up for flares calling for an extract. He smokes cigars to calm his nerves. Zacharias, Wichita sophomore, knows he's back in Jayhawk country, not the dangerous Sunni Triangle in Iraq that surrounds Baghdad, angles north towards Tikrit and expands west across the Euphrates River past Ramadi. He knows improvised explosive devises, such as the two that destroyed Humvees in which he rode, won't explode in discarded beer cans on the side of the street. As long as he can see a firework being lit, memories of combat and the flutter of medic helicopters don't seem to flood back unexpectedly. PARKER But watching Iraq implode from a Humvee turret tends to make a man cautious, no matter where he is. Zacharias, a political science major whose gap-tooth smile belies his experience, said he was more relaxed than before he was deployed to Fallujah, Iraq, in 2006, shortly after an American offensive reclaimed the city. He drinks less, probably holds his tongue a bit more, but that doesn't mean he wants to talk about it. "When people ask me what I did in Iraq, I just tell them it's hot," Zacharias said. It's not a subject most students at the University of Kansas - or any other University - can easily relate to." Dan Parker, McPherson junior, said that veterans - like him and Zacharias - are largely overlooked at the University. Dan Parker served as a Marine in Iraq twice and founded the Collegeiate Association after coming to the KU. The association is an advocacy group that helps veterans navigate University requirements and adjust to college life. "I would say that veterans are pretty easily the most underrepresented special group on campus," Parker said. Joan Hahn, assistant registrar, said there were about 180 veterans enrolled at the University. While the University supplies counseling services for all students. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN including young veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are no veteranspecific services. The University's lone staff member assigned to assisting veterans is Hahn, but there are no other official advocates on campus. Her role as a Veterans Administration-certified official is to assist veterans returning to campus with enrollment, as well as ensuring that vets receive their education benefits. Many vets begin the enrollment process when they are still on active duty, Hahn said. This can make enrollment tricky. "If the individual is currently deployed, they are trying to plan ahead. You're in a position where you have limited access to a computer; then you have limited access when you're on the computer," she said. "I think it would be very helpful," Hahn said. "I think the system now is not ideal. I think it's better than some. I think it's not as good as others." Parker, Hahn and Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student success, are working on a plan to create a University position for a full-time veterans advocate who would assist returning soldiers with questions or issues, a task not in Hahn's job description. "You don't want to talk to civilians or people who haven't been there about it because they have no basis for relating to it." The KU chapter, which has about 40 members, was the third to emerge in the country and the first in Kansas. It serves student soldiers as a way to wade through issues ranging from University red tape to the challenge of being older than the majority of students. In response to the lack of on campus support, Parker, a Marine who served two tours in Iraq, founded the Collegiate Veterans Association in fall 2006 with two other former Marines. Parker is president of the group and Zacharias serves as vice president. "That's a lot of the reason CVA was actually started," said Parker, a soft-spoken intelligence specialist who served in northern Iraq and Al Anbar province. "The two guys that I started CVA with, we all kind of sat down and looked around and were like, 'Well, pretty much everyone we hang out with are veterans.' Because you have a shared experience, a common experience." COMMON EXPERIENCE He said it was hard to connect with young undergraduates who had not been to war. "Then you sit down with someone who's also in the military and just right there, regardless of what service they were in, you have a lot in common," Parker said. "Nobody understands a veteran like another veteran." DAN PARKER McPherson junior Zacharias, an infantryman who also worked as an intelligence specialist, said CVA was founded for many of the same reasons as organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He said returning veterans of past wars "had to go through a lot of horrific incidents. It was very tough for those people coming back at the time; these people came back, they had these experiences that they really couldn't speak about so everyone else could understand." "You don't want to talk to civilians or people who haven't been there about it because they have no basis for relating to it." Parker said. That can limit the services the University provides to veterans, and few take advantage of the resources available on campus, said Pamela Botts, clinical director for Counseling and Psychological Services. Part of the problem is the military's attitude toward those who need psychological help, she said. "Part of that is understanding the whole context that the veteran might be dealing with," she said. "We have relatively limited services here, so if someone is really struggling with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) in a way that is interfering with their functioning, we may not be the best resource, because we don't have the resources," Botts said. "The military's been particularly bad about not appreciating that. There is a stigma there that soldiers are supposed to suck it up and go on." "As soon as you go to the VA to talk about PTSD, you'll be fitted for a straight jacket," While veterans seeking help are often referred to the Veterans Administration, many are reluctant to do so. Parker, a political science major, said. Botts said her staff was sensitive to student veterans' unique circumstances. Parker said. "There's that stigma that 'Oh, this guy's come back and now he's the crazy war veteran." Darbor who suffered hearing loss due to A WAITING GAME Parker, who suffered heart explosions in Iraq, said that he has worked with the VA, with the help of AMVETS, a veterans advocacy group, to assist him in speeding up the claim process. His experience is counter to what many veterans face. Some veterans who file claims with the VA wait months, sometimes years, to hear the status of their cases. Time out of service only worsens this problem. diate treatment, and that CVA was attempting to foster communication between CAPS and a traveling VA squad that was set up solely to deal with veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Parker said the partnership would speed up the claim When veterans seek help at the VA or through VA clinics at hospitals, they often have to wait three to five months to even get in the door, Parker said, calling the Lawrence clinic "wildly overbooked." Parker said that this could have a detrimental effect to people who needed imme- Parker said, as he explained the difficulties many veterans face. Complicating the process is that many veterans do not file claims upon discharge. Another problem is that some traumas, like PTSD, are not apparent for months or years after soldiers leave the service. "There is a stigma there that soldiers are supposed to suck it up and go on." PAMELA BOTT5 Clinical director for Counseling and Psychological Services process, making it more efficient by giving veterans resources to help file and monitor their claims. Parker said it was reasonable that the University was not prepared to deal with a lot of the issues veterans face. "It's a smaller population," he said. "There are some instances, I guess, where CAPS could be useful, but it's probably better to refer (veterans) to the VA." For Zacharias, who displays a photo of his mangled Humvee on his MySpace page and conducted about 100 combat missions, it's clear that CVA provides a catharsis for war veterans that neither CAPS nor the VA are able to.

ODD NEWS Couples tie the knot with burgers, fries and a shake COLUMBUS, Ohio — Three couples got the Valentine's Day wedding they craved on Thursday, marrying at a White Castle in the restaurant chain's home city. The morning ceremony at the burger joint, which features the slogan "What You Crave," involved a flower girl who threw salt and pepper packets instead of rice, and employee name tags on the grooms' lapels. The cake resembled a White Castle tray holding three "slyder" burgers, fries and a drink — all made of cake and frosting. Cyndie Nunamaker of Plain City, 17 miles northwest of Columbus, said she and new husband Brian Wilson opted for the alternative wedding because they love White Castle. The nuptials were broadcast live on a local radio station, which paid for the flowers and other arrangements. New York City promotes safe sex via street team NEW YORK — The official New York City condom has a different look and a sexy new slogan: New Yorkers were encouraged to "get some" on Valentine's Day. Street teams handed out free condoms at busy hubs around the city yesterday, including Times Square, Wall Street and near City Hall. And an ad campaign on television, radio and subways and buses featured the catch phrase. "We want to give away as many condoms as people will use because we're trying to make New York City an even safer place to have sex, and this is a powerful way to do it," said Monica Sweeney, the Health Department's assistant commissioner for HIV prevention and control. The free condom initiative is part of the city's effort to reduce rates of sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies. About 100,000 of New York's 8.2 million residents have HIV or AIDS, and many more are diagnosed each year. The city has made free condoms available for years, but last year revamped the package with a distinct look to encourage usage. Since then the city has been giving away 3 million condoms a month on average, up from 1.5 million a month before the redesign. The design introduced last year was a black wrapper stamped with the letters "NYC CONDOM" in the same font and bright colors used on city subway maps and signs. The new design unveiled Wednesday features the letters "NYC" in black, inside three adjoining white circles. 1700s violin crushed in backwards fall down stairs LONDON — Can his fractured fiddle — a million dollar Guadagnini — be fixed? it's too early to tell. David Garrett, a former model who has been called the David Beckham of the classical scene, said he tripped while carrying his 18th century violin as he was leaving London's Barbican Hall after a performance, smashing it to bits. ALICE, Texas — The former mayor of Alice who resigned because of a custody dispute over a Shih Tzu named Puddles insists she didn't steal her neighbor's pooch. "I had it over my shoulder in its case, and I fell down a concrete flight of stairs backward," Garrett said Thursday. "When I opened the case, much of my G.B. Guadagnini had been crushed." "I hope and pray that it can be fixed, but if it can't, I hope my insurance policy will let me buy another great violin," the 26-year-old musician said. He told The Associated Press that other published accounts saying the violin was a Stradivarius were incorrect. Guadagnini is believed by some to have been a student of Antonio Stradivari. Garrett said he bought the 1772 violin for $1 million in 2003, and he is now hoping to get it repaired in New York, where he is based. The accident occurred Dec. 27 but only came to light this week when he returned to London for another concert at the Barbican and told British reporters what had happened. The dispute began in July when Puddles' original owners, Rudy Gutierez and Shelly Cavasos, asked Saenz-Lopez, their next door neighbor, to take care of him while they were on vacation. When they called to check on him, Saenz-Lopez told them Puddles had died and was buried in her backyard. "I didn't steal the dog, I did not return him to save his life," said Saenz-Lopez, who was indicted Jan 18 on two felony charges related to the alleged dognapping. As she spoke, the former mayor cuddled Puddles/Panchito in her lap. In an interview Thursday on NBC's "Today" show, ex-mayor Grace Saenz-Lopez said she had taken Puddles — whom she renamed Panchito — to protect a dog because she believed he was being neglected. For his Valentine's Day concert there, he is playing a Stradivarius that's been loaned to him. Saenz-Lopez later reported the dog missing, only to have Puddles/Panchito turn up at the home of the mayor's twin sister. Saenz-Lopez resigned as mayor on Feb.1, after a recall petition was circulated in the South Texas town of fewer than 20,000 residents. Garrett gained attention as a child prodigy. Before he was 10, he played as a soloist with the London Philharmonic, according to his Web site. When he studied at the Juilliard School in New York, he became a part-time model to help supplement his income. Shih Tzu case draws lawsuit against former Texas mayor However, three months later, a relative of the neighbors saw the pet at a dog groomer. When Saenz-Lopez refused to return the dog, the family filed a criminal complaint and a civil lawsuit against her. Cavasos, who also appeared on the "Today" show with Gutierrez and their attorney, said she left Puddles with Saenz-Lopez because "I trusted her. I knew he was sick. I never thought this would happen." At the time, the dog was suffering from a severe flea infestation and a reaction to the chemicals used to treat him. Last week, a judge in Alice declined to give the Gutierrez family temporary custody of the dog pending trial in April, saying they had not shown the required need for "extraordinary relief" NEW YORK — Mayor Michael Bloomberg faces the notorious New York City press corps several times a week, but nothing prepared him for the grilling he got Thursday from a group of third-graders. Third graders' questions rattle NYC mavor The kids at a public school in Harlem, where Bloomberg was holding a news conference down the hall, disarmed the potential presidential candidate by singing "Happy Birthday" to honor the billionaire, who turned 66 on Thursday. The boy repeated his question, and the mayor demurred, pointing out that he works for just $1 a year. "Are you rich?" asked one little boy. Then they got down to business. "Am I what? I can't hear you," Bloomberg said. Then another kid piped up, wanting to know if Bloomberg lives in the White House. "I don't live in the White House," the mayor told the class. "I live on the east side of Manhattan, and I've lived there for 20 years in that house. But I've lived here since 1966. in New York." Earlier, when they tried to guess his age, the roomful of 8 and 9-year-olds started high, at 107. They fired more questions: Have you ever met the president? Yes. "I don't have — I have a wonderful birthday card," Bloomberg said, holding up the creation that they made for him. "And this is really nice. So, OK, I better get going."

He became interested in black history and the civil rights movement after growing up surrounded by prejudice. Speaks at 5:30 p.m. in the Tuesday at Jole Institute of Politics. BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com dodd@kansan.com When Randal Jelks was seven years old, the city of New Orleans closed the community swimming pool near his boyhood home. "Six years," Jelks said. "They didn't want black kids swimming in the pool." The pool's dry, cracked concrete was Jelks' daily reminder of the divided world he lived in. Jelks' skin was too dark to swim in that pool. Jelks, the Langston Hughes visiting professor of American studies at the university of Kansas, presents the 2008 Langston Hughes Lecture. jelks' lecture — which takes place at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics — centers on Benjamin Elijah Mays, a predecessor to the American civil rights movement. "Martin Luther King Jr. said Mays was one of his spiritual and intellectual mentors," jelks said. Mays, who served as president of Morehouse College, is also the subject of Jelks' second book, "Benjamin Elijah Mays: A Religious Rebel in the lim Crow South." Growing up in the 1960s in a racially-charged New Orleans, Jelks said his interest in the American civil rights and black history started at a young age. "New Orleans oozed with history," jelks said. "I would always ask my grandmother, 'Well, what was this like, or what was that like?'" Jelks his childhood also shed light on some harsh realities. Schools were segregated. The elementary school just blocks from his house was for white children only. "In 1962 and 1963, people were still protesting so black students could go to a school where they lived by," jelks said. Jelks' childhood in New Orleans was a cultural mosaic, and he embraced it. "I saw people from around the world. I saw people had different stories to tell, and that's what formed me," delks said. At age 14, he left New Orleans and moved to Chicago. "When I got to Chicago, I asked my mama if it was Christmas," Jelks said, "My mom said, 'Christmas?' What's wrong with you? It's August?" People moved so fast in Chicago they reminded a 14-year-old Jelks of last-minute Christmas shopers. Chicago crowded streets weren't the only thing lels noticed. "It was so intensely ethnically divided," Jelks said. He said his time in New Orleans and Chicago molded his worldview. "He's about standing up for the equality of people," William E. Van Vugt said. Van Vugt is a professor and the chairman of the department of history at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., a school Jelks worked at for the last 15 years. Van Vugt said Jelks had a provocative side. "He was highly visible on campus, someone who was never hesitant to voice his opinion." Van Vugt said A short time after coming to Kansas, Jelks heard a story about Langston Hughes — the Harlem Renaissance poet who spent his childhood years in Lawrence. "Langston Hughes comes up to the hill when he's a little kid," Jelks said, retelling the story. "And standing up on the hill, Hughes said that was the first time he wanted to travel and see the world, because he could see all around." Having Langston Hughes' name in his job title does have a special meaning, elks said. "I saw people from around the world. I saw people had different stories to tell, and that's what formed me." RANDAL JELKS Langston Hughes visiting professor of American studies He called Hughes a person who helped other people to be creative in their own work. "Tell me one other person who lived in Lawrence who's internationally known," jelks said. he was slowly coming around to the University's sports teams. Right now, he's still a Michigan Wolverine. "I'm in Jayhawk territory, but I still bleed maize and blue," said Jelks, who graduated from the University of Michigan. Jelks is teaching two American studies courses this semester: "African American Views of the African Continent" and a graduate seminar on "African American Religion and American Civil Rights Movement." Jelks said his adjustment to a new University enjoyable, even if Jelks — like the subject of his book, Benjamin Elijah Mays — is an ordained minister. He served a church in Grand Rapids, Mich., for seven years before working at Calvin College. At the moment, Mays isn't far from leks' thoughts. "Everybody talks about a Martin Luther King Jr. as though he had no predecessors," Jelks said. "Heroes aren't always the big giants, but some times they are these other people who are playing these roles of teaching and instructing." — Edited by Patrick De Oliveira 》 HEALTH Overland Park site source of complaints ASSOCIATED PRESS OVERLAND PARK - State health officials have ordered a landfill in south Overland Park to close by the end of 2010. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued a conditional permit that will allow APAC-Kansas to run the 167th Street landfill until Dec. 31, 2010. It must close the landfill after that and cap it six months later. The ruling closes the land-fill 10 years earlier than APAC originally planned. The landfill has been the source of numerous complaints over its rot-ten egg smell, Besides the irritating odor, hydrogen sulfide can cause headaches and breathing problems for asthma suffers at low levels and lead to more extensive health problems, or even death. which is caused by the hydrogen sulfide its emits. State officials said the landfill is one of only four in the country with such a significant hydrogen sulfide problem. Besides the irritating odor, hydrogen sulfide can cause headaches and breathing problems for asthma sufferers at low levels and lead to more extensive health problems, or even death, from lengthy exposure to high concentrations. About 6,000 people live near the landfill. Software developer Rick Lucas said he blamed the landfill for breathing problems plaguing his family and welcomed the landfill's closing. The state is giving APAC additional time to operate the landfill so the company can fill in depressions on the property that allow storm water to collect in large pools. Parts of the landfill now have 10 to 12 feet of water, which state health officials want reduced to a foot or less by the end of the year. "It's the right call," he said of the conditional permit. "I don't think it's realistic for them to shut their doors tomorrow." The company must still sign the conditional permit to make it official. If APAC chooses not to accept the conditional operating terms, it would have to operate under its current permit and risk having to close the plant earlier than 2010, a state official said. The water in the landfill, which accepts construction and demolition debris, is mixing with sulphur- laced drywall and producing the toxic gas, said Kansas Department of Health and Environment spokesman Joe Blubaugh. While APAC has tried to measure and control the gas, the permit's key goal is removing the water, Blubaugh said. The shale base of that landfill just doesn't allow water to escape," he said. "So it becomes, in effect, like a swimming pool down in there." Environmental regulators last year hinted that they couldn't challenge the conditional permit, saying they thought the company had made progress over the last two years. But Blubaugh said the agency has since learned more about the long-term effects of hydrogen sulfide exposure. Last October, state officials completed a review of the company's request to expand the landfill from 50 to 82 acres. The landfill's original 1986 permit allowed a 50-acre landfill, but it expanded to 82 acres without a permit. The conditional permit allows dumping on 82 acres as officials said the extra 32 acres are already covered in garbage and removing refuse from those areas now could release additional gas. CONGRESS Senate approves Kansas coal-plant bill Project viewed as economic boost, environmental hazard BY CARL MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA — A western Kansas utility won a major battle Thursday in its bid to build two coal-fired power plants. The Senate passed a bill allowing Sunflower Electric Power Corp. to go forward with its plants outside Holcomb, in Finney County. The $3.6 billion project has been blocked since October by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' administration over potential carbon dioxide emissions. The bill went to the House, which plans to debate its own measure early next week. The major difference in the two bills is that the House requires utilities to generate 10 percent of their electricity with renewable resources, such as wind, by 2010 and 25 percent by 2025. Bebellus has strongly criticized the Senate bill, which passed 33-7, six more votes than the two-thirds majority necessary to override a veto. Bebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said the bill has a ways to go before it reaches the governor's desk. "Clearly we are very pleased with the fact that this legislation has taken a major step forward." Watkins told reporters. Earl Watkins Jr., Sunflower's chief executive officer, watched from the Senate gallery Thursday. "She wasn't fond of the bill as introduced, and the Senate committee removed all of the green features before passing it, so it got so much." I quote said. Several senators offered reasons for their voter. Sen. Marci Francisco, a Lawrence Democrat who voted against the bill. "This bill leaves us with a significant carbon footprint without a forward-looking solution," said Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican, voted for the bill, saying, "This bill takes the first step toward securing Kansas energy security" measure more balanced energy policy. Rep. Tom Sloan, who serves on the House Energy and Utilities Committee, acknowledged that a bill must address the state's power future needs. Some House members argue that those provisions make their those provisions, saying they would prevent the secretary from protecting public health and the environment and encourage utilities that have had coal-fired plants blocked in other states to build them in Kansas. Both chambers' bills limit the secretary of health and environment's power to reject air-quality permits for projects such as Sunflower's. Secretary Rod Bremby did just that in October, citing concerns about the estimated 11 million tons of CO2 emissions expected to come from the two, 700-megawatt plants. The final version of a single energy bill is likely to be drafted by three senators and three House negotiators. "This bill leaves us with a significant carbon footprint without a forward-looking solution." It's got to address the public concern about the impact of society on the environment, which includes global warming," said Sloan, a Lawrence Republican. "It does have to be balanced." The Senate bill also would prevent the secretary from imposing some emissions rules without legislative approval. "It's got to "Businesses all across Kansas have to have the regulatory reform because it's so unstable now you can't do business," Neufeld said. "We have to do that." SEN. MARCI FRANCISCO Lawrence democrat Sebelius strongly objects to Supporters of the project view it as economic development for western Kansas and say the state eventually will need the power from the plants. offset any economic advantages. Many scientists have linked CO2 emissions to global warming — a factor Bremby took into consideration when he denied the permits. Opponents said the environ mental harm will more than Watkins called the bill a step "to move Kansas forward to address the issue of rule of law and regulatory certainty." His decision upset many legislators because the state hasn't ever attempted to control CO2 emissions and has no rules in place. Excluded from the Senate bill were proposed limits on CO2 emissions from new power plants and a $3 per ton tax for excess emissions for utilities that didn't comply. Bebelius, environmentalists and some legislators viewed the rules as far too weak. Some conservative legislators objected to any plan to regulate CO2, and anti-tax groups criticized what they saw as a tax increase. GRAVIN ASSOCIATED PRESS Metal fragments were found in at least two Valentine's Day lollipops sold at separate stores in central Florida, authorities said Thursday. Deputies confiscated 18 to 20 lollipops of the same brand from an elementary school late Thursday, but they did not find evidence they contained metal shards. Metal found in Valentine's Day candy 》 HEALTH ASSOCIATED PRESS LAKELAND, Fla. — What appeared to be a metal staple was found Thursday in a Valentine's Day lollipop at an elementary school, a day after a woman reported a blade-like piece of metal in another bag of the same product. It has been pulled from the shelves of thousands of stores across the country. Roughly 20 lollipops, from a bag of Pokemon Valentine Cards and Pops, were seized at Kathleen Elementary School in Lakeland. X-rays determined that only one piece definitely had metal — what appeared to be a staple — baked inside, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. The Polk County Sheriff's Office issued a safety advisory and the Dollar Store chain removed the product, sold in bags of 10, from its more than 8,000 stores nationwide. The Food and Drug Administration is investigating. On Wednesday, Lisa Potter in nearby Mulberry told authorities she found a lollipop with a piece of metal in it in a bag of the same product. The metal appeared to be part of a razor blade, authorities said. Judd said the two tainted lollipops were purchased from different Dollar General stores near Lakeland. He said the lollipops did not appear to be tampered with and it appeared the metal was baked into the candy in China, where it was produced. No injuries have been reported and it was unclear whether the metal was intentionally placed in the candy. The sheriff's office said Sherwood Brands of Maryland, which imports the candy from China, was cooperating. "They are as concerned as we are,"udd said. Dollar General, headquartered in Goodlettsville, Tenn., also pulled another Sherwood Brands product, Dog Artlist Collection Valentine Cards and Pops, from shelves. A store chain spokeswoman, Tawn Earnest, said no other pieces of metal have been found in the manufacturer's products. 4A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2008 CRIME Man opens fire at Illinois college, kills five students BY CARYN ROUSSEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS DEKALB, Ill. — A man dressed in black opened fire with a shotgun and two handguns from the stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University on Thursday, killing five students and injuring 16 others before committing suicide, authorities said as of 9:30 p.m. Thursday. The gunman fatally shot four women and a man in a "brief, rapidfire assault" that sent terrified students running for cover, university President John Peters said.

Max Rinkel TELEVISION NBC News apologizes for vulgarity ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — NBC News is apologizing again — this time for Jane Fonda. The 70-year-old actress used a vulgar slang term on the "Today" show Thursday while talking about the play "The Vagina Monologues." Fonda is appearing in a 10th-anniversary performance and was on "Today" with author Eve Ensler. Fonda told co-host Meredith Vieira that she was asked to perform a monologue with a slang term for vagina as the title — and Fonda used the term itself on the air in explaining why she said "no." About 10 minutes later, Vieira told viewers that Fonda used a word from the play that normally isn't used on television. "It was a slip and obviously she apologizes and so do we," Vieira said. "We would do nothing to offend the audience, so please accept that apology." "Today" moved quickly to silence the word and cover up Fonda's face with a still photo when the show was aired in the Midwest, Mountain and West Coast feeds. ASSOCIATED PRESS It's been a month's worth of apologies for NBC News. MSNBC correspondent David Shuster was suspended for saying the Clintons had "pimped out" daughter Chelsea for presidential campaigning. MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews said he was NBC News apologized after Jane Fonda uses a slang term for vigna while talking about the play "The Virginia Monologues" Thursday on the 'Today' show. sorry for suggesting that the reason Hillary Clinton was a presidential REEF SOLD ONLY AT SHARK'S MENS WOMENS NEW 2008 STOCK IS IN!!

"An informational Web site that relies on factual content from the impassioned, opinionated and frequently intoxicated students of our University." The WIKUpedia project prides itself on being an objective information source for all things related to the University of Kansas. It has become its own student group, acknowledged by the University, complete with three student officers and a sponsor from the School of Journalism. Anyone is welcome and even encouraged to create new pages or simply edit or add to existing ones. The creators have reached out to KUInfo, the Alumni Association and the student body, holding an informational session earlier this week to demonstrate to people how they can modify and add to it. It seems to be on the right track toward being what it claims. But the origins of the endeavor seem to reveal its potential for something more or less than objective. According to Jarrod Morgenstern, Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park senior and School of Journalism senator, one of the founders, the idea for the Web site came out of a brainstorming session between him and four other members of Connect, a new student political party that will be running for the first time in upcoming Student Senate elections. It was then developed and created by the members of this group. The Web site is hosted by the Connect Web site, essentially as a subsidiary to that of the political party, at connectku.com/wiki, and all of the edits made to the pages — by anyone — are reviewed and deemed necessary or appropriate by the Web site's six administrators, three of which are supporters of Connect. Two offer technical support, and the last is the president of the KU Chess Club. This does not seem like the most fertile grounds for the seeds of blind, objective truth. The founders have made oaths of discretion, assuring that their work is entirely apolitical and solely about the proliferation of information. And maybe they're right. Maybe they want this to be some glorious and conveniently organized platter of information for the world about our Midwestern university, but they are all seniors. In four months new leadership will be required, and there is no guarantee that they will remain as noble as their predecessors. For the project to be successful, it needs to be run by an independent student organization. relies on factual content from the impassioned, opinionated and frequently intoxicated students of our university, nationally known for An informational Web site that Max Rinkel wearing its "Muck Fizzou" T-shirts? it causes some worry. "This project is just a fraction of what it will be one, two or even 20 years from now" Morgenstern said. -Zach White for the editorial board COMMENTARY Conventional relationships leave students wanting more Experts question monogamy, say it contradicts human nature JORDAN RYAN When my alarm sounds in the mornings, I wake and slide my boots on my sheets-softened feet and walk two inches taller to class. I return to my sheets where that extra two inches of confidence is sloughed off; a time when one becomes susceptible to the loneliness that comes when naked feet obtain warmth from sheets and not other naked feet. This is the stuff of lonesome times so easily arising in our hungry, adolescent soul searching, when we want the comfort of a partner or miss the presence of a long-distance lover. Being in a committed relationship is something that most of us want to experience in our time here, and monogamy is something that has been placed on a pedestal since the beginning of religiously sanctioned unions. But now we must deny the whole idea of "finding true love" and "soul mates" and question if humans truly are inherently monogamous. David Barash and Judith Eve Lipton co-wrote the book "The Monogamy Myth: Fidelity and infidelity in Animals and People." They argue, "Monogamists are going against some of the deepest-seated evolutionary inclinations with which biology has endowed most creatures, Homo sapiens included" Through study of monogamy in the animal kingdom (which is very rare, according to Barash and Lipton) and patterns in which men and women wander from monogamous relationships, we are obligated to give attention to the idea that monogamy is our own creation, and this is why it concerns us so greatly. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the last reported divorce rate for a calendar year is 38 percent in 2005. We are all aware of this high rate, exemplified in some cases by the genuine interest and intrigue exhibited when one says that their parents are still together. Is this evidence in defense of the idea that we are not meant to be monogamous? "Hooking up" is not a new term, and author Laura Sessions Stepp (author of "Unhooked") suggests that women "hook up," or engage in some sort of non-emotional, sexual act, because women are increasingly goal-oriented in their professional lives and believe that a non-committed "hook up" would not obstruct their ambitions. When a good friend of mine, an insightful English major, was asked to give a definition of monogamy, he wrote: monogamy-1) a state of being, not unlike marriage, resulting from idiot religiosity; 2) two lovers lacking imagination, curable by direct application of grain alcohol at an office party." Essentially everyone dreams of soul mate or perfect match, but now is the time for us to tell those standard images of monogamy like beach weddings and Hawaii honeymoons to screw off. Thanks to my spirited friend for personifying my point, which comes to: monogamy stems from historically held social norms that, in the end, create a path that we end up believing is the only one to true happiness. Monogamy is not something built into our DNA, but rather a convention of comfort that we turn to because we all want to be loved, and because it is so ingrained in us that we cannot imagine a life of happiness without a mate. I believe that monogamous relationships are successful for people because they believe in them, and that they can work for the young adult who accepts their benefits as truths. Do not cheapen the importance of your own happiness by assuming that you can only find it only in another pair of arms. Not all "hook-ups" must be without emotion, not all relationships must imply long-term commitment and self-sacrifice, and is love is the most important variety of love. I am not encouraging rampant bed-hopping, but rather for you to be open to something other than "settling down" once you find who you think is that solitary special someone. Grab hold of those lonely thoughts and take them for something more than "nobody loves me" dribble. Love is not just another pair of feet in your bed, and life can still be pretty good with all of that extra mattress space. Ryan is a Salina junior in art history. COMMENTARY Lyrics degrading to female listeners ANNIE SIMMERMON ANNIE SIMMERMON "I'm gonna bite-slap my ho, and you should too." I think it hit me as I was driving home from work the other day. I was mindlessly listening to the radio when the song "Big Pimpin" came on. So here I am singing along, thinking about getting home and fixing a lean cuisine, when—like a ton of bricks—it hits me that I am completely degrading myself. I have often dismissed song lyrics based on a fun beat or just never taking the time to really listen, but there are songs out there, especially in the rap and hip-hop genre, that endorse the mistreatment and inequality of men to women. Whether it's talking about how fun it is to "be a player" or "if your ho act up, put her six feet deep." Does nobody else have a problem with this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here (this is a line I've been working on. I really think I might be the next Ludacris.)." "Look I don't care how crazy yo bitch is, you can't kill her, and if you did, it would mean some serious tail time..."plava." OK, maybe not Luda. Maybe more like R.Kelly. One might say chauvinism has existed from the beginning of time. The supposed first story ever written claims that women came from men and are therefore innately less superior. However, such ideas have been progressively suppressed since the women's right movement, so I'm wondering when it became cool to be a bigot and how society has let it come this far. These artists and their ideals are glorified by the media, which allows people to feel justified in their own mistreatment of others. Some men think it's cool to spread their seed all over the town, because that's what they hear on the radio and the TV. We are not animals living in some primitive world. We are rational beings capable of respect and meaningful relationships. By demoralizing our set standards as higher-thinking beings, we are slowly sending ourselves back into the Stone Age. I don't mean to sound like Will Smith, but it's gotten a little out of control, when lyrics that talk about raping and killing women are considered the "new hot thing." We have to sit back and ask ourselves, "what kind of society are we becoming?" Art is an expression, true, but when the emotions being sparked by that form of expression are causing more harm than good, it's time to take some responsibility for the principles we supposedly hold. I really feel, however, that this argument is hopeless, lyrics are going to keep degrading and objectifying women, artists are going to continue to make millions of dollars off of them and women are going to keep grinding their booties on the dance floor to them. Everybody's going to give up their integrity and get VDs, and the world's going to continue to turn like it always has. Simmermon is a Leawood senior in journalism. --day special.

Hezbollah's chief vowed to retaliate against Israeli targets abroad after accusing Israel of taking the fight beyond Lebanese borders by assassinating militant commander Imad Muhniniyeh in Syria. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon — Israel ordered its embassies on high alert and the FBI put U.S. terror squads on guard to protect Jewish institutions after Hezbollah's leader vowed Thursday to retaliate anywhere in the world for the assassination of one of its top commanders. "Zionists, if you want this kind of open war, let the whole world listen: Let this war be open," Hassan Nasrallah told a throng of fist-waving mourners who attended the funeral of Imad Mugniyeh, the mastermind of terror spectaculars that claimed hundreds of American lives. Thousands of black-clad mourners raised their fists in the air, chanting, "At your orders, Nasrallah" in response to Nasrallah, who appeared via video. He has been in hiding since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon. Nasralahh's fiery speech signaled the Iranian-backed Shiite group was ending a years-long policy of battling Israel only on Israeli or Lebanese territory, raising the specter of attacks in Western or other countries. Hezbollah and its Iranian backers blamed Israel for Mughniyeh's death in a car bombing Tuesday in Damascus, the Syrian capital. "Zionists, if you want this kind of open war, let the whole world listen: Let this war be open." and recommended Jewish institutions worldwide do the same. In Washington, the FBI put its domestic terror squads on alert for any threats against synagogues or Jewish centers in the United* NASSAN NASRALLAH Hezbollah leader Israel denied involvement. Unlike Middle Eastern leaders who have indulged in exaggerated rhetoric, Nasallah is known for acting on his threats. Fearing revenge attacks after Mughniyeh's assassination, Israel ordered its military and embassies overseas on high alert yesterday States. The events in Beirut raised fears that Lebanon's internal turmoil could worsen. Earlier in the day, tens of thousands of Hezbollah's pro-Western political opponents filled a downtown Beirut square to mark the anniversary of former Prime Minister Rafik Haririfi's 2005 assassination. Fearing clashes, authorities deployed thousands of troops. The two mass gatherings ended with a few fights involving fists, sticks and knives between government supporters and opponents that left at least four injured. anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. Officially, the Israeli government denied involvement, but speaking privately, Israeli military officials were more vague, refusing to confirm or deny involvement. Israel has reacted with similar ambiguity after past assassinations widely believed to be the work of its spy agency, the Mossad. The officials spoke on condition of Some experts suggested that Hezbollah could count on Iran for help on any attacks against Israeli targets. "The only aspect that is uncertain about Hezbollah's retaliation is its timing and location. Its happening and lethality are almost certain," said Bilal Saab, a Middle East security researcher at the Brookings Institution. The funeral hall in the Roeiss neighborhood of south Beirut was packed with mourners in front of Mugniyeh coffin, draped in a Hezbollah flag. Two giant post- personal mug- ers of the bearded militant leader in a cap and mi- tary fatigues were hung behind the coffin, with a banner read- ing. "The Great Commander Martyr — Haji Imad Mughniyeh." Some mourners cried as a band plaved Lebanon's national anthem and the guerrilla group's anthem. Outside in the rain, tens of thousands massed. "Mughniyeh's blood will lead to the elimination of Israel. These words are not an emotional reaction," he said. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, who attended the funeral, offered condolences to the family and Mughniyeh's associates. Underlining Iran's close ties to Hezbollah, he sat between Mughniyeh's father and Hezbollah's deputy leader. Nasrallah warned Israel that its alleged killing of Mughniyeh was a "very big folly" which will be avenged. "He's not the first martyr, nor will he be the last on this path," Mottaki said, reading a statement from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. "There will be "Hezbollah has a long record of carrying out violent acts and acts of terrorism around the globe." SEAN MCCORMACK State Department spokesman hundreds and millions more" like him. The coffin was then carried through the crowds of mourners, who marched with it to a nearby cemetery, praying aloud. some chanted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America." Mughniyeh's killing exacerbated tensions at a time when Lebanon is already entrenched in a longrunning political crisis between the Hezbollah-led opposition and the U.S.-backed government. Government backers accuse Hezbollah of seeking to restore Syrian domination of the country, while the opposition says the government is putting Lebanon in the hands of the United States and Israel. Earlier in the day, tens of thousands gathered in the main Martyrs' Square of downtown Beirut to commemorate the third anniversary of Hariri's assassination. The anti-Syrian rally appeared larger than the crowds at Mughniyeh's funeral, but it had been planned weeks in advance. Waving Lebanese flags and carrying pictures of the slain leader, crowds paid respects at Hariri's grave site as his brother, Shafik, unveiled a statue of Hariri at the spot where he was killed. The sound of beating drums mixed with cheers from the crowd as speakers lashed out at the opposition. Grad Finale GREAT GIVEAWAYS!! Saad Hariri, the late premier's son, launched a scathing attack against the Syrian government. But he spared Hezbollah, apparently in deference to the funeral, and even reached out to the opposition, saying: "Our hand will remain extended no matter what difficulties and conspiracies there are." When Saad Hariri alluded to Mughniyeh's funeral, the crowd booed.

Fumes from 519 trailer and mobile homes in Louisiana and Mississippi were — on average about five times what people are exposed to in most modern homes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In some trailers, the levels were nearly 40 times customary exposure levels, raising fears that residents could contract respiratory problems. In New Orleans, Jim Herring, 63, who recently moved back into his partially renovated house in the badly flooded Lakeview neighborhood, said he wasn't surprised about the finding. The Federal Emergency Management Agency — which supplied the trailers — should move people out quickly, with priority given to families with children, elderly people or anyone with asthma or other chronic conditions, said Mike McGeehin, director of a CDC division that focuses on environmental hazards. "We do not want people exposed to this for very much longer," McGeehin said. "The workmanship is pathetic," said Herring, a retiree who worked for 25 years in a chemical plant. Herring and his wife, Susan, decided not to stay in their trailer, which they received in April 2007. Both Herrings are smokers, but Jim Herring said he did not have a cough until they moved into it. "Let's face it, these things were not meant to be lived in for a year," Susan Herring said. FEMA spokesmen said more than 35,000 of the trailers and mobile homes are still occupied in Louisiana and Mississippi more than two years after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita laid waste to much of the two states' coastlines. With housing still in short supply — 80 percent of New Orleans was flooded and the pace of rebuilding has been slow — many were unsure of their next move. "I got nowhere else to go," said 75-year-old Ernest Penns, whose FEMA trailer is his only shelter. FEMA spokesman James McIntyre said the agency would be releasing its response to the CDC's findings during a news conference in Louisiana later Thursday. Meanwhile, he said the agency would proceed with its plan to distribute mobile homes to victims of last week's tornadoes in Arkansas and Tennessee. "There will be processes put in place to ensure safety," McIntyre said. While there are no federal safety standard for formaldehyde fumes in homes, the levels found in the trailers are high enough to cause burning eyes and breathing problems for people who have asthma or sensitivity to air pollutants, said McGeehin. CDC officials said the study did not prove people became sick from the fumes, but merely took a snapshot reading of fume levels. Only formaldehyde was tested, they added. FEMA provided about 120,000 travel trailers to victims of the 2005 hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In 2006, some occupants began reporting headaches and nosebleeds. The complaints were linked to formaldehyde, a colorless gas with a pungent smell used in the production of plywood and resins. Commonly used in manufactured homes, formaldehyde can cause respiratory problems and has been classified as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and as a probable carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Last May, FEMA officials dismissed findings by environmentalists that the trailers posed serious health risks. They said the trailers conformed to industry standards. By August, about 1,000 families in Louisiana asked FEMA to move them to other quarters. In November, lawyers for a group of hurricane victims asked a federal judge to order FEMA to test for hazardous fumes. The CDC, working with FEMA, hired a contractor. The firm — Bureau Veritas North America — tested air samples from 358 travel trailers, 82 park model trailers and 79 mobile homes. HEALTH CDC reveals statistics about choking game BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — At least 82 youths have died from the so-called "choking game," according to the first government count of fatalities from the tragic fad. In the game, children use dog leashes or bungee cords wrapped around their necks or other means to temporarily cut blood flow to their head. The goal is a dreamlike, floating-in-space feeling when blood rushes back into the brain. As many as 20 percent of teens and preteens play the game, sometimes in groups, according to estimates based on a few local studies. But nearly all the deaths were youths who played alone, according to the count compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC started the research after receiving a letter last year from a Tacoma, Wash., physician who said her 13-year-old son died from playing the game in 2005. "At the time I had never heard of this," said Patricia Russell, whose son was found hanging in his closet, but later learned he had talked to a friend about it. "One thing that really needs to happen — and is starting to happen now — is to get more information about how common this is," she said. The CDC counted cases from news reports and advocacy organizations in the years 1995 through 2007, totaling 82 fatalities of children ages 6 to 19. They did not include deaths in which it was unclear if the death was from the choking game or if it was a suicide. They also did not include deaths that involved autoerotic asphyxiation, which is self-strangulation during masturbation and is said to be mainly done by teenage boys or men. The 82 deaths were spread across 31 states. Nearly 90 percent were boys, at an average age of about 13, the CDC found. Three or fewer deaths were reported from 1995 through 2004. They jumped to 22 in 2005, 35 in 2006 and at least nine in 2007. It's not clear what drove the increase in recent years, investigators said. CDC officials urged parents to be aware the fad exists, and to watch for possible warning signs like blood-shot eyes, marks on the neck, frequent and severe headaches. The report is week in a CDC publication, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The report is being published this diorientation after spending time alone, and ropes, scarves or belts tied to bedroom furniture or doorknobs or found knotted on the floor. 82 is probably an undercount. They could not rely on death certificates, which do not differentiate choking-game deaths from other unintentional strangulation deaths. Instead, they relied mainly on a news database that is large but doesn't include "One thing that really needs to happen — and is starting to happen now — is to get more information about how common this is." The authors acknowledged that PATRICIA RUSSELL Mother of victim all media outlets. It's likely that there are about 100 U.S. choking game deaths each year, said Dr. Tom Andrew, New Hampshire's chief medical examiner, who has been studying the phenomenon for several years. Andrew said many coroners and medical examiners likely label the deaths as suicides because they don't have the time or resources to interview a victim's friends and look for alternate explanations. Many of the children who died from the choking game were described as bright, athletic students who apparently were intrigued by a method of getting high that doesn't involve drugs or alcohol, he said. They watch it on YouTube, or hear about it in school or at summer camp, said Sharron Grant, a woman who founded an advocacy group called Games Adolescents Shouldn't Play (GASP). Choking game fatalities are not nearly as common as suicide deaths among youths who choose hanging or suffocation. About 5,100 such suicide deaths were reported from 1995 through 2007, and while it's possible some were unrecognized choking game deaths, most were believed to be actual suicides, said Robin Toblin, a CDC epidemiologist. Variations of the game have been around for decades, but the trend of doing it alone seems to be recent Andrew said. The only person to speak in support of the proposal was the man who proposed it — atheist Raymond Zbylut, who said the gesture would honor the civil rights work of Murray O'Hair, who was not from Omaha. OMAHA, Neb. — Citing community opposition, the City Council unanimously rejected a request to erect a commemorative street sign for noted atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Council members voted 6-0 to deny the request without discussing it. Councilman Garry Gernandt said afterward that nearly 200 constituents contacted him opposing the sign. RELIGION Omaha council rejects street honoring atheist "Most people in Omaha believe in God, and naming a street after this individual didn't match the community," Councilman Jim Vokal said. Murray O'Hair, who filed a lawsuit that ultimately led the courts to bar organized prayer in public schools, disappeared in 1995. A former employee was convicted in her murder. 2.17.08 SUNDAY vs. NEBRASKA 2pm THINK PINK WITH KANSAS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL!

Many students wear blue to the games, but some still wear crimson to support the Jayhawks. Crimson and blue. And green and pink! Some unfamiliar shirt colors have leeched their way into the stands at Kansas basketball games. The sea of blue in Allen Fieldhouse evolved into a vast ocean of colors. Some fans are annoyed by the decreasing uniformity in shirt color at games. The green shirts Lemon refers to have the phrase "Rock Chalk Shamrock" printed on them. The shirt celebrates St. Patrick's Day. Various stores on campus and around Lawrence sell shirts in colors such as pink, yellow and green. Orange shirts also began to sell after the Jayhawks were selected to play in the 2008 Orange Bowl. Kansas associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said that in the past few months, he felt that student fans became better at wearing blue to the games. He also said that students seemed to do a better job with sticking to blue than most other fans. "Why do people wear green shirts?" I just don't understand." Megan Lemon, Smithville, Mo., junior and member of the Student Alumni Association, said. Christina Steger, manager at Tarheel Bookstore in Chapel Hill. N. C., the bookstore of the University of North Carolina, said non-Tarheel colored shirts didn't sell very well. "We have a few off-color shirts, but they're not that popular," Steger said. "People tend to wear more Carolina blue." North Carolina's university colors are white and "Carolina blue," a light blue. At some other universities, groups regulate the shirt colors in their student sections. At Michigan State University, students who want to sit in the Izzone, the university's basketball student section, must wear white. GETS THE ADRENALINE GOING. YOURS AND WHOEVER READS ABOUT IT ON YOUR RESUME. "Students have to sign a contract saying they'll wear white to the games before they can get their tickets to the Izzone."

Carolina Fury, a group that makes up most of North Carolina's student section, has a similar program that asks students to wear the university's colors at basketball games and other athletic events. The group uses a point system to determine who sits in the lower bowl of the arena. If fans don't wear the university's colors, they forfeit their points. Allison Berg, marketing specialist for University of Illinois Athletics, said that more than 90 percent of Illinois fans wore orange to every home basketball game without any enforcement of uniformity. Berry said that Michigan State shirts that didn't use the university's colors, green and white, weren't very popular on the campus. "We don't require anyone to wear orange, but they choose to," Berg said. "But we've developed a culture throughout the years with our fans with a combination of promotions and other things the athletic department has done to push the orange color." "We don't want people to feel like they're not free to express themselves as fans," Benz said. "But it's part of the culture here anymore. We're known for our sea of orange, so most everyone comes to the game wearing orange." Erik Benz, University of Illinois senior and president of the Orange Krush, an organization that makes up most of the Illinois student fanbase, said that the Orange Krush didn't put a rule on shirt color because it felt like the rule would limit creativity. Marchiony said that although the University didn't enforce wearing blue shirts, it took steps to encourage all jayhawk fans to wear blue. Edited by Jared Duncan ARMY ROTC.

The alumni will include two former Olympic champions. BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com Basketball alumni obtain reserved seats Kansas Athletics plans to save about 300 seats in the student section for former Kansas basketball players, coaches and their families. The former players return for the celebration of 110 years of Kansas basketball. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said that Kansas Athletics holds an anniversary ceremony every five years. Basketball fans may have a tough time finding seats for Saturday's game against Colorado. Seats are reserved near the court on the south side of the student section. The athletic department saved about 50 seats in that area Saturday against Baylor for inductees in the University of Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame. But not every student spectator is frustrated by Kansas Athletics taking the seats. Johana Bravo, Lima, Peru sophomore, said it bothered her that the athletic department was reducing the number of student seats, but she trusted that it was for a good reason. She only wished that the former players and coaches would be seated higher up. "That's total crap," Kindle said. "The student section is for students. We've already paid for them, and we've been camping for them." Erryn Kindle, Eudora freshman, said he didn't like the idea of taking seats away from the student section. The anniversary celebration includes recognition of those in attendance at halftime and a 20-year anniversary celebration of the basketball team's 1988 national championship. The returning Jayhawks attend a pre-game brunch and a post-game banquet. Tip-off for Saturday's game against Colorado is scheduled for 12:45 p.m. A variety of Jayhawks return to Allen Fieldhouse for the anniversary celebration. Those who attend reach as far back as the Phog Allen coaching era, which ended in 1956. Bill Hougland and Clyde Lovellette, members of the 1952 national championship team, plan to attend. Other Jayhawks planning to attend include Darnell Valentine (1978-81), Ryan Robertson (1995-99) and Wayne Simien (2001-05). Marchiony said that he and other Kansas Athletics representatives discussed the reservations with basketball campers Feb. 4. He also said that the department would remind fans about the reservations the day of the game. "We'll put a sign up to encourage campers to fill up the north end first so we can save seats on the south end for these former players." Marchiony said. —Edited by Samuel Lamb "We wanted to make sure they would know that there were going to be seats down low on the south end that would be taken," Marchiony said.

The proposal is part of the governor's budget. She would set aside $1.5 million so that the 23 parks could drop their summer fee of $4.20 for every vehicle from Kansas. Camping fees would remain. Kansans may enter state parks for free A decision last year to cut those fees in half increased park use. Rep. John Grange, an El Dorado Republican, believes eliminating them would increase usage. Sebelius' plan would use revenues from casinos and slot machines at dog and horse tracks to provide money for parks.

The 1988 NCAA championship team will be recognized at the game. BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com KANSAS 4 KANSAS 15 NEBRASKA Twenty years from now, Russell Robinson would love to be at Allen Fieldhouse celebrating the anniversary of a national championship. BENJAMIN W. BROWN Manning Danny Manning, assistant coach and one of the players from the 1988 NCAA championship team who will be honored Saturday at the KU basketball 110-year reunion, thinks that Robinson's dream could come true. Kansan File Photo "Our championship team," he said, "is nowhere near the team we have now at Kansas." Robinson didn't quite know how to react. "That's a compliment," he said with a smile. Manning could be right. In 1988, the Jayhawks were far from a force. They started the season 12-8 and looked NIT-bound for the longest time. Their tournament run wasn't even spectacular. Kansas barely scraped by Murray State in the second round. This Jayhawk team has been far more domi- tion can score, Robinson, Sherron Collins, Brandon Rush, Sasha Kaun, Darrrell Arthur, Mario Chalmers and Darnell Jackson have all led the team in scoring at least once this season. "We didn't have the same depth or talent level," Manning said. "We couldn't score points in flurries like this team can." Manning acknowledged that a team needs more than talent to win a championship. That's obvious from looking at the 1988 team. The Jayhawks put together a run to the title game because they found an extra gear and rose above all the adversity they faced during the season. It wasn't just talent that got them to the championship. It was their ability to grow from defeats. "Morale goes down anytime you lose," Manning said. "Morale goes down and work ethic goes up." It's still a mystery to whether this team can make the same type of strides. Kansas came out flat at Colorado after its first loss of the season against Kansas State. "Our championship team is nowhere near the team we have now at Kansas." DANNY MANNING Assistant coach and 1988 NCAA championship team member Any player in the main seven-man rota nant so far, starting 23-2 and beating opponents by an average of 21.1 points a game. Although recent losses to Kansas State and Texas exposed some flaws, including toughness and outside shooting, Kansas should still be capable of conference championships and a possible deep run in the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks won three games after it but struggled on defense. The defense was better against Texas on Monday, but Kansas couldn't rebound, and allowed the Longhorns to come back and win in the second half. Getting that toughness back will be a key to bouncing back from the loss. "It's something we have to emphasize," Kaun said of toughness. "It's all about single possessions. We need to score or get a stop and be more mentally tough so we won't break down." up. Chalmers tried, taking several shots down the stretch, but he couldn't quite be the hero. Jackson and Arthur were unable to get the ball. There wasn't a player who could lift Kansas at the end. The jayhawks are also lacking a go-to player. When they needed to score baskets late against Texas, no one stepped "We don't have a Danny Manning." Robinson said. But Robinson is still confident the team could put together a special run. He wants the same recognition the 1988 team is going to receive on Saturday. "We have a good team," Robinson said. "Even though we have two losses, we just have to know that we are still a good team."

"The thing about this that is really cool is that I don't think we look at the reunion as what players that have had their number hung in the rafters are coming back," Self said. "I don't think you look at it that way. It's not about one person coming back. It's about the collection of everybody being here. That is what I'm going to get out of it as much as anything." high turnout: About 230 former players, coaches and managers are supposed to be at Allen Fieldhouse for the 110-year reunion.

Rebounding made the difference. Jayhawks remain tough despite loss BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com dodd@kansan.com Let's be clear, Bill Self wasn't concerned about his team's toughness. "We didn't play tough one night," Self said about his team's Monday performance against Texas. "We didn't play tough on the glass one night. That doesn't mean we have soft ewu's." Self said. Self said not to question his team's toughness after it gave away a four-point halftime lead Monday against the 11th ranked Longhorns. Kansas, leading 42-38 at halftime, let Texas dominate the glass in the second half, and let them sneak away with a 72-69 victory. Texas out-rebounded Kansas by 11 in the second half. "We have plenty of things to work on, but I'm not ready to say the sky is falling because we lost to a Top 11 team on the road by a possession." Self said. Still, Kansas' flaws were magnified after its second loss of the season. Kansas is 0-2 against teams in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, and the layhawks seemed to have lost their outside shooting touch. Kansas shot 4-for-26 from the three-point line during the two games. "It it happened." Self said. "I'm not going to make a big deal out of that, certainly we need to shoot the ball better." Self said he liked how Kansas' schedule shared up for the next two weeks. Kansas plays host to Colorado on Saturday, then has six days off before traveling to "I'm not a believer in that we can just play in the games and automatically get better. Self said. "You have to work on things you need to improve on." Senior guard Russell Robinson has played on teams that were questioned before. When Robinson was a freshman, Self brought shoulder pads and football helmets to practice. Self's point was simple: that team needed to be tougher. Oklahoma State. That gives Self a week to practice. "You can't be too upset about what happened in the past," Senior forward Sasha Kaun said. "We should see how it will affect us in the long run and turn a negative thing into a positive thing." "I've never had a team, nor has anybody ever coached a team that didn't go through periods of time where some weeks they were a little better than other weeks." Self said. However, Self said no gimmicks were needed this year. The rest of the lajwhays said the sour taste from the Texas game was gone. First place (in the Big 12) Kansas is looking toward March after K-State's loss to Texas Tech Wednesday. "My goal has always been for our teams to start getting better in February, and hopefully be peaking in late February, early March," Self said. In order to do that, Self said Kansas had to regain its toughness and swagger.

Kansas goes pink to raise awareness, funds Team to wear new jerseys as part of'Think Pink'breast cancer initiative KANSAS BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com There are some people who complain about Kansas fans at basketball games wearing shirts in all sorts of colors other than the traditional crimson and blue. However, Sunday afternoon there will be a different hue to Allen Fieldhouse and it will start with the players themselves. For its 2 p.m. game against Nebraska, the Kansas women's basketball team will don pink jerseys in support of the "Think Pink" initiative by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. > In its second year, this initiative has the support of more than 900 schools and Jayhawk coach Bonnie Henrickson is thrilled to be a part of it. "I'm very, very excited about our opportunity to help in the community," Henrickson said. "Obviously it's a national event but it's grassroots here. All of the money will be donated to the LMH (Lawrence Memorial Hospital) breast cancer center. "To a person in Allen Fieldhouse, we've all been impacted somehow and it's a chance for us to create awareness and create funds towards research to find a cure for the disease." The entire Athletics Department has worked hard to make this a truly special event for all of those involved. "We consider it very important to participate in this," Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said. "It's an illness that somehow affects almost everybody in someway." Along with the jerseys, which Henrickson says look great, the first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive free pink T-shirts. "We're asking everyone to wear them when they get them so we can pink it out in Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday," Henrickson said. More importantly, for every fan in attendance, the department will donate one dollar to the LMH breast cancer center. "We came up with that as a department." The "Think Pink" theme has also bounced beyond the court and into City Hall. Marchiony said. "It's something that we can do that will hopefully encourage others to contribute to the cause as well." In August, the Alvamar Golfand Country Club hosted the annual Bonnie Henrickson fund-raising golf tournament, and a portion of those proceeds were designated to go to the same cause. During a time out on Sunday, a check with those funds will be presented to the hospital. On Feb. 12, Mayor Sue Hack proclaimed Feb. 17 to be "Think Pink Day," in Lawrence. i "Anything that I can do or that the community can do to further that along I think is really important." Hack said. "It was amazing to note on the proclamation that deaths from breast cancer have act ally declined. I think it'd be hard to fin any other cancers where the death rate hi declined, and that's due to early detectio nd education (about breast cancer). "It's not the death sentence that it use to be." The actual event may only be a basker ball game, but everything that surrounds means so much more to everyone involve and those affected by breast cancer. "This is the perfect example of atl letics doing something good for society Marchiony said. "It's a great pairing of the university an the city of Lawrence and the more we can do that the better it is for all of us," Hac said.

Nomo, who pitched only 13 2/3 innings in winter ball last year after having elbow surgery to remove bone chips in 2006, is a non-roster invite to the Kansas City Royals' training camp. "I feel like I can still pitch in the major leagues," Nomo said through an interpreter Thursday. "I did rehab for it. Pitching in the major leagues is my goal. I like baseball a lot." Nonroster invited to training camp ASSOCIATED PRESS Nomo also had shoulder surgery in 2003. Popla Nomo was 0-2 with a 6.59 ERA in seven starts with Caracas in the Venezuelan Winter League. During his last two seasons in the majors — 2004-05 with the Dodgers and Tampa Bay — Nomo was a combined 9-19 with a 7.70 ERA. Kansas City Royals pitcher Hideo Nomo, from Japan, laughes with a teammate on the opening day of spring training at the team's complex in Surprise, Aniz. on Thursday. Pitchers and catchers report for works today. "It feels better than two years ago," Nomo said of his arm. "I didn't have any pain in my shoulder and elbow when I threw in Venezuela. The pain didn't go away for a long time (after the surgeries)." "Anybody who has had as much success as Nomo has had in his career and his desire to pitch in the major leagues and with his competitiveness, you've really got to listen." Moore said. "Secondly, his influence on (Yasuhiko) Yabuta in transition. It just makes sense for him to be here. We all recognize how much success he's had. He still feels like he can pitch in the majors. He's a great competitor and he can help transition Yabuta. Somebody is going "Nomo's situation is twofold really," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. to give Nomo the opportunity to come to a major league camp, so why not us?" Kansas City signed Yabuta, one of the best relievers in Japan, to a two-year contract in November. While Yabuta has pitched 12 years in the Japanese League, this will be his initial experience in the majors. SPORTS SPORTS Jayhawks fly to Miami, but this time for golf For the second time in two months, The Jayhawks will descend to Miami. But instead of scoring touchdowns, the team will be teeing off and sinking putts as the women's golf team prepares for the Papa John's Collegiate from Feb. 17 to Feb. 19. Coach Erin O'Neil is just ready to finally get onto the course, "We couldn't play during winter it's been so cold — just glad to get into the warm weather and hit some shots. "O'Neil said. For this season, O'Neil has a new motto for the team. "No expectations, we haven't been able to practice a lot during the winter, so we're just going to go out there have fun and put the ball in the hole and do the best we can." O'Neil said. O'Nell was pleased with the team's fall performance, but does not think of having one person carry the team, instead everyone is held accountable. Improving each week, Emily Powers has really stepped up her game. She's raised her average to 74 and is really improved. "Also the senior leadership of Annie Giangroso among others has helped the team stay close-knit." Annie has been steady; I think we'll be in good shape." The team also consists of three international players: Freshmen Meghna Bal, Grace Thiry, and sophomore Camilla Svensson. O'Neil takes pride in seeing these ladies develop in a new and sometimes difficult situation. "It's an ongoing transition. It's hard to come to a new college, even when you're from the states, but it's even harder to come from another country." And just like those other Jayhawks did in Miami a little over a month ago, these Jayhawks plan to have fun.

T After upsetting Kansas State for Pat Knights first win, Texas Tech makes it two in a row at home. BU BU Texas might be able to eke out a home victory despite star guard D.J. Augustin's troublesome slump, but that's not going happen when they travel up the road north to Waco. BU Baylor has hit a skid but is playing everyone close, and it's hard to get wins on the road in the Big 12. The victory against Kansas hid Texas' flaws. The Longhorns are a team in decline.

Jerryd Bayless, Chase Budinger, Jawann McClellan. Yeah, this Wildcat team is better than they've been playing. S Stanford and my favorite college basketball twins. Brook and Robin Lopez, will be too much for Arizona. A S A The real question: Will Indian coach Kelvin Sampson still be coaching the Hoosiers after accusations of committing major NCAA violations. Kelvin Sampson will be calling recruits and miss the opening tip. When his phone battery dies and he returns to the court, it won't matter. Michigan State wins a thriller. VANDERBILT Fresh off a 40-point blow-out of Kentucky, Vanderbilt should chomp down on the Gators. VANDERBILT I'm not sure how Florida even has a win record after losing four players to the first round of the draft, but the train slows down here. Vanderbilt keeps its storybook season alive with a big home win. S Is Stanford a legitimate top-10 team?

SOFTBALL Jayhawks open season with strong tournament victory BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com The Jayhawk softball team started the season strong with a tournament victory at Central Florida. The Jayhawks won five games and lost only one. S Sophomore Vertelka won three games and didn't give up a run in the tournament. Coach Tracy Bunge said she was very pleased to see the pitching staff perform so well. pitcher Sarah games, scored three runs and drove in a run in her debut weekend with the Jayhawks. "Of all things through the weekend, I was most pleasantly surprised with our pitching staff," Bunge said. McCauley finished strong with multi-hit games in the semifinal and championship games while also scoring two runs and driving in one run. Sophomore "We just need to get a little bit better each and every day." TRACY BUNGE Kansas softball coach Bunge spoke highly of all teams in the tournament, especially Illinois State, North Carolina State and Central Florida. "All three of those teams were good, quality teams and those were good, quality wins for us," Bunge said. Bunge was very pleased with the offensive performances of junior third baseman Val Chapple, freshman catcher Brittany Hile and junior outfielder Dougie McCaulew. Freshman second baseman/shortstop Kolby Fessir bunts during the softball game against Missouri Southern on Sept. 22, 2007. Kansas will play in the UNL Invitational tournament starting today with a doubleheader against Oregon and Portland State. first baseman Amanda Jobe also did her part for the Jayhawks in the tournament, getting seven hits and driving in the winning run in the semifinal game against Illinois Chapple came out of the weekend leading the Jayhawks in nine offensive categories, including hits, runs batted in and batting average. Hile turned in two multi-hit "The whole team, and especially the pitchers as a whole, proved how good we're going to be this season," Jobe said. Bunge said she wasn't surprised by one concern that came up in the tournament team defense. She said the team had trouble just playing the ball off of the dirt because they had practiced inside for most of the season. State.

They will try to build on the success of the Central Florida Invitational. to practice on dirt. She said another problem she noticed in the Central Florida Invitational was the throwing errors. Bunge said it hurt having to practice inside and not being able "We just need to get a little bit better each and every day," Bunge said. Bunge and Jobe said the team wanted to focus on continuing success of achieving their season goals in this tournament. They said the team wanted to stay aggressive on the base paths. Bunge said that she wanted to see the offense continue it's steady output, they outscored their opponents 24 to 12 in the Central Florida tournament, and of course she wanted to see the defense put together a better weekend than last. Bunge said all those teams were good teams and have gotten of to a good start this season. She said they would be the toughest competition for the lajwhawks. The Jayhawks will be challenged in Las Vegas, Oregon, Brigham Young University and the host University of Nevada, Las Vegas will be competing. Bunge said she wanted the team to get pushed by this level of competition. Last weekend's performance did not go unnoticed. The Jayhawks received votes in the USA Today/NFCA softball poll for the first time since 2006. "There's a lot of people in our conference and a lot of people around the country that really were not giving us the respect that we were due," Jobe said. Edited by Jared Duncan The country has taken notice, and the Jayhawks can open some more eyes with a good performance at the UNLV invitational. Three teams, UNLV, Oregon and BYU, are just outside the rankings in the USA Today/NFCA softball poll. Another strong showing by the Jayhawks this weekend will garner more national attention.

Darnell Jackson's breakout season as a star for Kansas will be closer to ending. For center Sasha Kaun, guards Rodrick Stewart and Jeremy Case, who have shown flashes of brilliance at times this season, the clock is winding down. BY BRYAN WHEELER KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM Saturday's game against Colorade is one of three remaining home games for the men's basketball team. For the seniors, it is one of their last bouts in the "Phog." For most of these seniors, it may be the height of their basketball careers as players Jackson is the only senior who is projected to be drafted by an NBA team. Every player in this senior class needs to feel a heightened sense of urgency. It is the seniors who are most seasoned for leadership. Whether it's late in a game and someone needs to step up to win a close game, or during practice when the team is slacking in performance, it is the seniors who need to assert themselves more than anyone. Coach Bill Self knows this more than anyone. "The reality for the seniors is, 'Hey, it is coming to an end' and there should be more of a sense of urgency. I hope that's the case," Self said on Feb. 7 in a press conference. "I don't know if I feel it every day in practice yet, but it's going to get to that point soon." This is the first senior class of Bill Self's 15-year career that is made up of his recruits. Before this season, Self had not coached at one school long enough to have a recruiting class of seniors that was his. Self could not have sounded more optimistic about the position his seniors were in before the start of the season. "I think we are blessed this year in that we have five guys that are great leaders," said Self on media day, Oct. 12. "They want to go out as being recognized as one of the most winning (recruiting) classes." If Kansas were to win the Big 12 regular season, it would be the fourth time for these seniors. If Kansas were to win the Big 12 Championship, it would be their third straight tournament crown. With Kansas' loss to Texas on Monday, the Jayhawks are now in a three-way tie for first place and these accomplishments may be in jeopardy. As Kaun, Robinson, Case, Stewart and Jackson run through the tunnel into the "Phog" Saturday afternoon for their third to last time, they need to know that their time as Kansas basketball players will be ending soo n, and the hog" for me, that ket- g soon. with a "I hope to try and go out with a bang, so I am going to work and play hard every game," Robinson said on media day. These seniors should look to the Jayhawk football team's 2007 roster and its 12 seniors, who came home victorious in the Orange Bowl this year. It is time for the sense of urgency Self talked about. It is their last go-around and there would be no better way to go out than on top. Edited by Samuel Lamb MLB Clemens testifies about steroid controversy BY JOSEPH WHITE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — In the Roger Clemens primary, the Republicans nominated the Rocket. The Democrats went with the other guy. That was the feeling on Capitol Hill on Thursday, the day after the seven-time Cy Young Award winner defended himself before Congress. Showing that even baseball isn't exempt from America's Red State Blue State divide, questions such as "How did Roger do?" were often followed with something like: "Why are the two parties bickering over this?" "Of all the things to become partisan over," Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, said Thursday, "this was the wrong one." Cummings was among those who strongly questioned Clemens' credibility in testimony involving the pitcher's former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, during Wednesday's 4½-hour hearing held by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Republicans, for the most part, saved their searing comments for McNamee, who was repeatedly called a "drug dealer" by Rep. members did go out of their way to be accusatory without having all of the facts. "It is hard for me to discern who "Of all the things to become partisan over, this was the wrong one." REP. ELIJAH CUMMINGS Maryland Democrat Christopher Shays of Connecticut. was not telling the truth and who was. Both men denied the other one's claim. I saw the questioning kind of divided, with some on the Republican side calling Mr. McNamee a liar "I thought the tone of the hearing was a little askew," said Rep. Diane Watson, a California Democrat. "I told Mr. Clemens that I didn't think it was going to be a court trial or an inquisition, but I think some of the and on some of the Democratic side really questioning Clemens, and so I don't think we got anywhere on that."

Emery predicted the pitcher will be pardoned by President Bush should Clemens be indicted or convicted of anything related to the hearing. "It would be the easiest thing in the world for George W. Bush, given the corrupt proclivities of his administration, to say Roger Clemens is an American hero, Roger Clemens helped children," said Emery, an attorney who has worked for liberal causes. "It's my belief they have some reason to believe they can get a pardon." Not surprisingly, Clemens' camp and the GOP — saw things differently. "Richard Emery just has to quit smoking his own dope," said Rusty Hardin, one of Clemens's attorneys. As for a pardon from a president? "I'm not aware of Mr. Clemens having been charged with anything," White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto said. A spokesman for Rep. Darrell Isaa of California said the hearing's partisan tone evolved because Republican members felt the hearing was overly focused on Clemens instead of the broader concerns raised in the Mitchell Report on drugs in baseball. "It's clear Democrats had expected a government-funded, TV show trial, and now they're whining that Republicans didn't want to play," said the spokesman, Frederick Hill. "The hearing was supposed to be about But a spectacle it was, much like the 2005 hearing that featured Mark McGwire and his oft-repeated statement: "I'm not hear to talk about the past." That hearing damaged McGwire's reputation immeasurably, but it is also spurred baseball into stricter penalties and more frequent testing for performance-enhancing drugs. The ramifications from Wednesday's hearing might not be known a while. McNamee said he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone. Clemens the Mitchell Report. The Democrats are at fault for focusing on individual wrongdoing instead of the validity of the Mitchell Report." Said Isaa: "We're not supposed to have these kinds of spectacles." "In all of my years of watching politics, I'm never seen a good witness before Congress," Hardin said. "If there are members of that committee that think they're adverse to you, and when you have the chairman adverse to you, you're not going to appear good. The average citizen is not a good witness before (the bright lights). This guy is the greatest pitcher of all time, and that's what he is good at." As for Clemens' reputation, even one of his lawyers conceded the pitcher might have not have given an All-Star performance. said he has never used either. Since both were under oath, one or both could face charges stemming from making false statements or obstructing. BARTONline Online College Courses Having trouble getting your class schedule to work?

During the hearing, some congressmen questioned whether the committee should be focused on other pressing matters. That also was a sentiment expressed at spring training, which began in Florida and Arizona on the same day as the hearing. "It's all hearsay. Everybody is all pointing fingers." San Francisco Giants reliever Steve Kline said of Clemens. "I pity the guy. Half the guys admitted it and they're not getting persecuted. It's just bad for baseball. "Who cares about what happened in 1987? It's over. Who cares about Congress? We've got gasoline prices that are off the charts and they're worried about steroids.

Each one of these players is a threat to put up 20 points on any given night, and it's not unlikely that they could both do it in the same game. Coach Bonnie Henrickson searches for a consistent third- scoring threat most of the season. The only reason to believe these two can't consistently dominate is that they're the two most foul-prone players on the team. Wednesday night McCray fouled out late in the game after picking up three fouls in just over a minute. If they can stay on the court, the Jayhawks can stay in the hunt. McCray NEBRASKA AT KANSAS, 2 p.m. Sunday, Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence MARIA MORGAN PARKING Boogaard Kansas (14-9,3-7) Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard —14.7 pp, 7.3 pp Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she noticed an extra bounce in McCray's step leading up to the Colorado game. Apparently a little bounce is the difference between 11.3 points and seven rebounds – her average in the first nine Big 12 games – and an explosion of 24 and 10. McCray hasn't played this aggressive since the nonconference schedule and hopefully it wasn't a one game deal. ★★★★☆ Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center Catic — 9.7 ppq,27 blocks In every game Boogaard is looking more and more comfortable out on the court. With every basket made and every shot blocked the colossal Canadian is announcing her arrival to the elite group of Big 12 post players. Boogaard is averaging 16.8 points and 10.5 rebounds over the last four games. That's even more impressive considering two of those garnes pitted her against Oklahoma's Courtney Paris and Colorado's Jackie McFarland, both All-Big 12 first team selections last season. Nebraska (17-7, 6-4) ★★★☆ Kelsey Griffin-6-foot-2 junior forward Ivana Catic, 5-foot-8 Junior guard Catic doesn't have the same turnover prob lems as fellow point guards LaChelda Jacobs and the now-injured Chakeltha Weldon. On the other hand, she normally doesn't provide the same play-making ability as the other two. Wednesday night, however, she decided to assert herself more offensively and it resulted in 10 points, including a pair of late free throws. She doesn't have to be the number one option, but a few plays for Catic per game can only make the Jayhawks better. ★★★★☆ ★★★★ The All-Big 12 performer has led the Cornhuskers in half of their conference games. Against Kansas in January, Griffin scored 15 points and hauled in six rebounds on only six shots, but that was mostly against an overmatched Krysten Boogaard is averaging a double-double over the last four games, but if anyone can get the freshman center in foul trouble its Griffin. Taylor Bern 4 KU Danielle Page 6-foot-2 senior forward 12.6 mm 6.6 mm Griffin pg. 6.6 ppg Page may have had a banner performance in the first meeting with the Jayhawks, but she has proven to be a reliable scorer, rebounder and defender for the Conhuskers over her four-year career. Page and Griffin form a formidable one-two punch in the post that Kansas had trouble defending in Lincoln. If Griffin gets to the line against the Jayhawks, it could be a long afternoon. ★★★☆☆ D. M. C. Yvonne Turner 5-foot-8 sophomore guard Page — 8 ppg, 45 percent three-point in conference play After shooting 17 percent from behind the arc in nonconference play by making 6-35 attempts, Turner has turned into a sharpshooter in 10 Big 12 contests. With Turner's outside shooting and Griffin and Page inside, Nebraska's offen has the kind of balance that wins games in the Big 12. 1 ★★★☆★★ Turner Boogard Andew Wiebe NU TIPOFF --- AT A GLANCE Three losses in their last five games have left the Cornhuskers fighting for second in the Big 12 North. Nebraska handled Kansas easily in Lincoln but that was a completely different team. The Cornhuskers only loss to Big 12 North opponents was against Kansas State in Lincoln, and if Connie Yoris' team plays to its potential that shouldn't change on Sunday. QUESTION MARK Can Nebraska win the free-throw battle? It's hard to lose when you make 30-2 free throws like Nebraska did when the two teams last met. While Kansas shot 87.5 percent from the free-throw line, that was on only eight attempts. If that trend repeats itself on Sunday, Nebraska will waltz to a seventh conference victory. LPGA Kuehne takes SBS Open lead BROOKLYN ASSOCIATED PRESS Annika Sorenstam of Sweden follows her drive off the 10th tee during the first round of the LPGA SBS Open golf tournament at the Turtle Bay Resort in Kahuku, Hawaii, on Thursday. BY JAYMES SONG ASSOCIATED PRESS KAHUKU, Hawaii — Kelli Kuehne shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 to take the early first-round lead Thursday in the LPGA Tour's season-opening SBS Open. Annika Sorenstam, coming off an injury-shortened season where she failed to win for the first time since her rookie season in 1994, was 2 under through 11 holes. She played in a group with defending champion Paula Creamer, also 2 under. South Korea's Jacqueline Yang had three birdies and a bogey on each side to open with a 68, and countrywoman Meena Lee matched 45-year-old Sharri Steinhauer with a 69. "I hit it well and I made a couple putts, so I'm certainly not complaining about my first round of '08," said Kuehne, whose best finish last year was a tie for 24th at the MasterCard Classic. She tied for 25th a year ago at Turtle Bay. Kuehne was in the second group off the 10th tee and took advantage of the tranquil morning conditions. The 30-year-old Kuehne attacked the pins with several strong wedge shots from about 100 yards and made a move just before the turn by birdieing Nos. 16-18. She made a 60-foot birdie putt on the par-3 fourth to reach 5 under. The former University of Texas standout was considered a rising star after she won U.S. Women's Amateur titles in 1985 and '96 heft "It was a bomb," she said. Kuehne credited her preparation heading into the season and her caddie, Tracy Phillips, who also serves as a swing coach. "I hit it well and made a couple putts, so I'm certainly not complaining about my first round of '08." "Some bumps and bruises along the way. You get knocked down, you've got to get back up," Kuehne said. "I've certainly struggled. I think the struggle definitely taught me to be humble to say the least." "He's my ace in the hole. If I follow directions, it usually goes in," she said. She won 1999 LPGA Corning Classic but has struggled in the past three years with only one top-10 finish. She finished fourth at Q-school to earn emptyn status this season. KELLI KUEHNE LPGA golfer 1995 and '96 before turning pro.

COLORADO 12:45 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse, ESPN+ A game against Colorado in the middle of Big 12 play may seem meaningless, but the Jayhawks have plenty to prove. First, they have to show that the Buffaloes got lucky when they played well against them two weeks ago. Kansas needs to jump on Colorado from the beginning. Secondly, the Hawks need to show they are over Monday's loss and that they are ready to rebound at a high level and show more toughness. This game should be a blowout if Kansas is motivated like it should be. WHOTOWATCH Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard The last two games were difficult for Rush. After shooting the ball well throughout most of Big 12 Rush COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY Will the shots start falling for the KU guards? play, he is starting to struggle. He's made two of his last nine three-pointers and eight of his last 21 field goals. He's been to the free-throw line only nine times in the past seven games. Rush can have a big game against Colorado if he wants to. The Buffaloes can't guard him well enough to take him out of the game. QUESTION MARK It's tough to say. Kansas shot the ball from three-point range better than any team for the first half of conference play. The struggles are new. Self said all teams went through lulls and would eventually snap out. Saturday could be a good time for the missing to stop. Colorado is a sub-par team, and the Jayhawks should be able to get open looks. Expect Kansas' shooting to get back on track. HEARYE. HEARYE "I think he has become a better player. I have said it all along. The ACL (injury) will allow him to become a better basketball player over time. This is where we should see it. As he gets healthy and is real close to 100 percent, the technique things and the things that he has done to get him to this position will now allow him to be a better player because he won't just rely on athletic ability." "I don't know. I'd have to say yes. I do think I'm a better overall player as far as passing the ball, making shots, getting to the hole, I do think I'm a better player. I always understand the game pretty well-I have always known the game." Bill Self on Brandon Rush —Rush on whether he thought he had become a better player because of his injury Kansas (23-2,8-2) THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 D. M. BARRETT Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard He guarded D.J. Augustin well but forgot to block out. Bill Self said the guards were as much to blame for the rebounding problems on Monday night as the big men. ★★★☆★ TOMMY BOWEN When all the other guards were hesitant to shoot in the second half against Texas on Monday, Chalmers fired away. It was good that he was aggressive, but he didn't make enough of his shots. Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard ★★★☆★ PETER SCHLOTZMAN COLORADO Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard Darnell Jackson, 6 foot-8 senior forward Jackson only scored two points in the second half of the Texas game. He needs to do more than that if Kansas is going to play at its highest level. That whole talk about him being aggressive for the rest of the season obviously wasn't true. Rush hasn't been shooting the ball enough in the second half of games. ★★★☆☆ ★★★☆★ Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward KANS If Arthur continues to rebound and score like he's done the past two games, he'll be a first team all-conference pick and a tough sell to stick around for another year instead of entering the NBA Draft. THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 ★★★★ ★★★★ E. KINGMAN Marcus Hall, 6-foot-2 senior guard The Houston native shot 3-of-6 from the three point line and had 13 points in Colorado loss to Kansas on Feb. 2. THE SIXTH MAN Marcus Hall, 6-foot-2 senior guard JAMES A. BARRY Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11. sophomore guard The old Jayhawks show up. You know, the team that toasted Oklahoma and made a joke out of Miami and Ohio. Kansas looked like a dominant team earlier this season. The last two weeks, the Jayhawks haven't played the same. Kansas needs to bring back the intensity and toughness it played with earlier this season and turn this Colorado game into a laugher early in the first half. Allen Fieldhouse Will Rock If... ★★★☆☆ So much for being all the way back. Collins looked timid again Monday night against Texas. When he's at his best, the Jayhawks are too. The Danville, Calif., freshman has started every game, averaging 8.4 points per game. Higgins father, Rod, is the General Manager of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats.

He's also Baylor's only scoring option in the frontcourt. adidas ★★★★ Marcus King- Stockton, 6-foot-9 senior forward King-Stockton is Colorado's only starter over 6-foot-6.

YONKO YAMAGUCHI ★★★☆★ THE SIXTH MAN Xavier Silas, 6-foot-5 sophomore guard Silas has started 19 games, but came off the bench against Oklahoma last Saturday, scoring six points in 20 minutes. ★★★☆☆ B. S. Bhandari Rustin Dodd Phog Allen Will Roll Over In Over In His Grave If... Richard Roby puts on a show in his last game at Allen Fieldhouse. Hard to believe but Roby will finally be gone. He went from outstanding freshman to super sophomore to forgotten upperclassmen. He still a good player but like Russell Robinson said two weeks ago, "He's not as good as he was his freshman year." Perhaps Roby will put on a final show and score 30 or more points. It's unlikely but not impossible. If he does, Colorado might have a small chance to win. CU TIPOFF AT AGLANCE WHO TO WATCH The Buffaloes surprised some folks the last time they faced Kansas. Colorado and Kansas were tied up at halftime, 30-30, before Kansas pulled away for a 72-59 victory. Colorado's surprise performance against might have been a much-needed confidence booster. In its last two games, Colorado lost narrowly at Oklahoma State 64-63, and upset Oklahoma in Boulder, Colo., 72-58. Senior guard Richard Roby — who scored 22 points against Kansas on Feb. 2 — is averaging 17.8 points per game in his last five games. But will any of that matter on Saturday? Colorado hasn't won at Allen Fieldhouse since 1983. Richard Roby, 6-foot-6 senior guard The easy answer is Roby, and that's because most of the Derek Roby bullies just aren't worth watching. Anytime an NBA talent comes into Allen Fieldhouse, fans should take notice. Roby's critics screamed for years about how he's underachieved during his four-year career, but he still has the size, skill and athleticism to make millions of dollars playing basketball. He's Colorado's leading scorer at 17.1 points per game, and his tomahawk dunk against Kansas Feb. 2 was definitely YouTube-worthy. QUESTION MARK Who's the worst team in the conference? The Buffs are sitting in 12th place in the Big 12 after Oklahoma State upset Baylor on Thursday. Colorado is also the only team in the conference with a losing record. First-year coach Jeff Bzdelik inherited a downtrodden program, and he's got the coaching skill to turn Colorado around. But right now, Colorado is living in lastplace-ville, population: one. HEAR YE. HEAR YE "I really feel like Colorado, when you look at their scores, they've played better at home, but they're one of the teams that has gotten a lot better on the road. They lose to Texas by a basket, they lose to Oklahoma State by one, they've made gradual improvement the whole time. Even though we won the game by 13 out there, I don't think our players will think that was easy, because they made us play the entire 40 minutes." — Bill Self on playing Colorado AYHAWK STATS

Editors note: The following is an essay written by James Naismith for the Feb. 13, 1912, edition of The University Daily Kansan. The background of this page is the actual front page of the edition of The Kansan that featured Naismith's essay. The game of basket-ball originated partly by the endeavor to create a form of athletic exercise along the line of football and partly by accident," said Dr. Naismith at the gymnasium today. "It was while I was at the Springfield Training School in Massachusetts in 1891," he continued, "that we discovered that the men who had played on the football team were not taking any interest in gymnasium exercise after the season had closed. They had been used to quick action and pitting their wits against their opponents, and the routine work with the dumbbells and Indian clubs was exceedingly irksome to them. The man who was the leader of the class became discouraged and gave it up, and I was invited to take his place. "I realized that the men wanted some sort of a game that would be not only beneficial but also interesting. In other words the men wanted something they could have some fun in. The only thing that I did was to try to find something of that sort. TRIED DEHORNED FOOTBALL. "At first we tried a form of 'dehorned' football, but that was too rough. Next followed soccer and then lacrosse, but none met the requirements of our small gymnasium. One day the question happened to strike me: What makes football rough? and the answer came — the tackling. What makes the tackling? The only way of stopping the man running with the ball. Why not eliminate the running and that would eliminate the tackling? But you can't play a game and stand still all the while. Then I conceived the idea of letting all the men run except the man with the ball and he would have to pass it before he could run. "That point settled and experimented with and found satisfactory, the next that came up was the question of goals. An ordinary football goal would be too easy to make, a goal such as was used in lacrosse or soccer would likely be easily torn down by sending the ball into it with great force. I thought of the plan of turning the goal up horizontally so that the ball instead of being thrown in forcibly would have to describe an arc before it entered. I thought at first of placing it about two feet off of the floor and then I realized that all a goal keeper would have to do was to sit on it and it would be impossible for the opponents to score. I then thought of placing it up above the players' heads. PEACH BASKETS, ERGO BASKET BALL. "I went to the janitor and asked for some sort of box. It just happened that he procured a couple of baskets (such as peaches are shipped in) about 18 inches across at the top and tapering down toward the bottom. We nailed these up on the gallery which happened to be just 10 feet high. The name 'basket-ball' has clung to the game ever since, and the official height of the goals has remained just 10 feet. The game was very successful in giving the men indoor exercise and training, and when vacation came in the summer the men went to their various homes all over the United States and carried the game with them." spring 2008 kansan staff Editor in Chief Darla Slipke Managing Editors Matt Erickson Dianne Smith Special Sections Editor Matt Lindberg Design Chief Drew Bergman Designers Maddie Herman Kevin Grunwald Bryan Marvin Imagers Jon Goering Marla Keown Mindy Ricketts Rachel Anne Seymour Peter Soto Advertising Director Toni Bergquist Sales Manager Katy Pitt Advertising Layout Austin Falley Megan Gonzales General Manager and News Adviser Malcolm Gibson Sales and Marketing Adviser Jon Schlitt Kansan Newsroom 11 Stauffer-Flint Hall 1435 Jayhawk Blvd. Lawrence, KS 66045 (785) 864-4810 et cetera The University Daily Kansan is the student newspaper of the University of Kansas.

My family moved around a lot, so I tried to follow KU basketball wherever I was. When we lived in Chicago, I remember watching the games that were nationally televised and catching the highlights with my dad on Sports Center after dinner. When my family moved to Kansas City, I became an even bigger Jayhawk fan. There is no denying the meaning and popularity of KU basketball. Whether it be the start of it all with James Naismith, the Wilt Chamberlain era or our current team, Jayhawk fans around the world pride themselves in the tradition of KU basketball. I remember watching the news reports that questioned whether Roy Williams would leave Kansas for North Carolina at the end of two different seasons. I was relieved he stayed the first time and disappointed the second time when he chose to leave. I remember when Kansas lost to Syracuse in the 2003 NCAA Championship and of course, the thrill of watching Bill Self and the more recent Jayhawk squads win the BY MATT LINDBERG Big 12. When I was asked to lead the effort in putting together this publication celebrating 110 years of KU basketball, I was excited and honored. KU basketball has so much great history. My co-workers and I strived to find the best way to reflect on 110 years of KU basketball history. We spent countless hours working — from writing and editing stories to designing pages and searching through thousands of photos with help from University Archives. Kansas basketball is something to be proud of, and we've done our best to make this publication something to be proud of, too. 6 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL We salute athletes who don't need a paycheck to give it their all.

Naismith created the game because he said the men could not play "Drop the Handkerchief," a game similar to Duck-Duck-Goose. PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Paying tribute to James Naismith, the man who started it all BY ALISON CUMBOW Long before Naismith Drive was Naismith Drive, a Canadian doctorturned-coach moved to the United States. He moved around a lot, receiving four degrees from four different colleges. But it wasn't long before he ended up in the Midwest, where James Naismith would mark his name in history. Naismith first received a degree in philosophy from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, in 1887. In 1890, he received a degree in religion from the Presbyterian College of Theology in Montreal. In 1891, he earned a degree in physical education from Massachusetts Springfield College, which was then the YMCA training school.

The Hawks were 3-1 at home and 2-5 on the road. 1905-1906: Naismith coached what some would call the Jayhawks' first successful season, going 12-7 overall. The Jayhawks were 3-0 at home and 9-7 on the road for the season. 9 110YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL E.

In 1898, James Naismith arrived in Lawrence as an associate professor and the University of Kansas' first basketball coach. He eventually became the University physician as well. At the end of his career, Naismith acquired the title of the only coach in KU history to have a losing record (55-60), but his legacy has lived on as the inventor of basketball. Naismith couldn't have agreed more, and said, "I am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out-of-way place." James Naismith and Forrest "Phog" Allen were the first two coaches of Kansas basketball. Naismith served as Allen's mentor and coach before Allen became caoch in 1907. Naismith invented the game in 1891 while working in Massachusetts at a YMCA. "The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need. Those boys simply would not play 'Drop the Handkerchief,' " he said. Drop the Handkerchief is a children's game similar to Duck-Duck-Goose. Given the guidelines of a game that would not take up much room,would not be too rough and could be played indoors, Naismith came up with basketball. James Naismith's 13 rules of basketball 1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. 2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but never with the fist. 4. The ball must be held by the hands.The arms or body must not be used for holding it. 3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man running at good speed. 5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, striking or tripping in any way of an opponent. The first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game. No substitution shall be allowed. 6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violations of Rules 3 and 4 and such as described in Rule 5. 7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls it shall count as a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul). 8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal. 9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field and played by the first person touching it. In case of dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds. If he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on them. 10. The umpire shall be the judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5. 11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made and keep account of the goals, with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee. 12. The time shall be two fifteen-minute halves, with five minutes rest between. 13. The side making the most goals in that time is declared the winner. 1906-1907: 1906-1907: It would be James Naismith's last season coaching the Jayhawk basketball team. The Hawks were 7-8 in Naismith's final year. 1907-1908: The Jayhawks had an impressive 18-6 record and were declared the Missouri Valley Conference champions under Naismith's successor, Forrest "Phog" Allen. 10 THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN --- 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL Naismith himself wrote 13 rules for his invention. In Naismith's rules, there are only 500 words. In today's rules of basketball, there are about 30,000 words. After his move to Lawrence, Naismith coached and mentored Forrest "Phog" Allen, a remarkable player, who later became one of the most successful coaches in the United States. When Allen first told Naismith he was going to coach, Naismith told him that basketball was only a game to play and that it didn't need a coach. Naismith's name has been immortalized throughout the KU campus, from James Naismith Court in Allen Fieldhouse to Naismith Hall, a private residence hall. Naismith created one of the most popular sports in the world, as well as a reason for KU fans to have so much pride in their school. In the beginning, he gave the YMCA boys something to do, later he coached his team at Kansas — his pride and joy — and now, he is still affecting those who cheer on KU basketball with as much loyalty as he had back then. James Naismith held various position is his time at the University of Kansas. He was Kansas' first coach and the only coach in Kansas' history to have a losing record. He was also an associate professor and the University physician. SIDNEY TROXY 1908-1909: The Jayhawks were again declared MVC Champions, going 25-3 overall and 11-0 at home.

And an all-time winning percentage better than .700 points to a rich tradition of excellence But the most telling number of all could be eight In 110 years, Kansas has employed just eight full time men's basketball coaches. Some stuck around for less than a decade, one for 39 seasons The continuity enjoyed by Kansas coaches is indicative of the impressive pedigree the program has maintained for the past century and beyond. University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas 1932 Photo by Duke D'Ambra PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENNER RESEARCH LIBRARY James Naismith (left) and F.C. "Phog" Allen (right) were the first coaches of Kansas basketball. Naismith had the lowest winning percentage of any Kansas coach, and his successor, Allen, was Kansas "winningest coach." M. BERNIE POWERS PHOTOS COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Larry Brown led the Jayhawks to an unexpected national championship victory in 1988. The 1988 team, which included star forward Danny Manning, finished third in its conference but went 6-0 during tournament play. 2. "Phog" Allen (1908-09, 1918-56) 1. James Naismith (1898-1907) TOP FIVE KANSAS COACHES: Naismith's .478 winning percentage is the lowest of any Kansas coach, but he still tops the list. After all, he did invent basketball. While working as a physical education teacher in Massachusetts, Naismith took inspiration from football and rugby to create basketball. Seven years later, in 1898, Naismith became a Kansas faculty member and the school's first basketball coach. The Jayhawks struggled to seven losing seasons in his nine years as coach, but without "The Father of Basketball", Kansas might not have had a basketball program at all. Forrest C. Allen, nicknamed "Phog", built an impressive resume during 39 years of coaching Kansas. Allen, who also served as athletics director and football coach at times during his lengthy stint at Kansas, won a school-record 590 games and 24 conference championships. Allen's most famous team was the 1952 squad that finished 28-3 and won the NCAA Title. The legacy of Kansas' winningest coach lives on through Allen Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks have played for the past 53 years. 3. Larry Brown (1984-1988) Larry Brown's tenure at Kansas was short but very sweet. The sixth Kansas coach led all of his five teams to the NCAA Tournament and piled up a 135-44 record. His greatest contribution to Kansas before he left for a job with the NBA's San Antonio Spurs was an improbable national championship run in 1988. The 1988 team, dubbed "Danny's Miracles" in honor of star forward Danny Manning, finished third in the Big Eight Conference with a 9-5 record but made a remarkable 6-0 run through the NCAA Tournament and captured the national title by defeating Oklahoma, 83-79. 4.

The Hawks were 12-8 overall for the season. 1917-1918: The Jayhawks improved in their division, finishing in third with a 9-8 record. The Hawks went 10-8 for the season. 1918-1919: Under the final season of Coach Hamilton, the Jayhawks finished fifth in their division, with a 5-9 record. The Hawks were 7-9 for the season. 1919-1920: Karl Schlademan coached the Jayhawks to victory in the first game of the season, before Coach "Phog" Allen took over for the rest of the season. Allen helped the Hawks finish third in their division with a 9-7 record while they went 11-7 overall. 14 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL championship home to Lawrence. During his 15 seasons, Kansas was a behemoth of a program. The Jayhawks lost more than 10 games just three times and won nine conference titles. In 2002, Williams led a star-studded group to a 16-0 conference record but fell short in a 97-88 loss to Maryland in the Final Four. After the next season, Williams took the head coaching job at North Carolina, his alma mater. Like Williams, Self has proven himself in the regular season but has repeatedly fallen short in the postseason. Self (123-29) has compiled the best winning percentage of any coach in school history .809) through his four-plus seasons at the helm.

Since it's humble beginnings of an eight-team tournament in 1939 thought up by legendary Kansas coach Phog Allen - the NCAA tournament has provided plenty of madness. But contained in it all has been a double-edged sword for Kansas basketball. In the 1996-1997 season, Kansas was clearly the best team in the country. But the tournament can be tricky, as was proven when Arizona upset the Jayhawks in the Sweet 16. Suddenly, the best Kansas team faded into disappointing obscurity. Sure, Jayhawk fans remember the brilliance of the five future NBA draft picks, but what stands out the most is that loss in the tournament and the overwhelming disappointment that followed. But with the bad comes the good. Every college hoops fan should know the story of Danny and the Miracles, when the No. 6-seeded Jayhawks won their final six games on Danny Manning's back to win the national championship. Was Kansas even close to the best team that season? No way. But that's the kind of thing that can happen in a single elimination tournament. Since the NCAA started seeding teams in 1979, only five times have two No.1 seeds met to decide the title. That's how inconsistent the tournament is. Another reason to love and to hate the NCAA tournament is that it severely devalues the regular season. Kansas has won 50 conference titles in 100 years of conference affiliation, but does that mean much to the rest of the nation? All most people want to ask is, "How many tournament titles have you won?" And for Above: Larry Brown holds an issue of The Kansan after winning the 1988 NCAA tournament. Left: Phog Allen poses with the 1952 team, which also won the championship. BY TRAVIS ROBINETT Kansas, that's only two, in 1952 and 1988. It's just really, really hard to win six games in a row against the nation's best competition. Consider the percentages, which I will estimate while giving the Jayhawks the benefit of any doubts. Even if Kansas is by far the best team, it has an about 1 in 5 chance to win it all. With a 100 percent chance of winning the first game, a 95 percent chance in the second round, an 80 percent chance in the third round, a 70 percent chance to win in the fourth round and a 60 percent chance in each of the Final Four games, that leaves just less than a 20 percent chance to win every single one of those games. Yet still, some people have the gall to complain about Kansas' lack of success in the tournament. Isn't 50 conference titles good enough? But still, the tournament is the ultimate American dream. If a team has tons of potential but struggled in the regular season, there's always a fresh start in March. Unlike in college football, one or two losses won't kill the chances for a national title. And, also unlike college football, at least there's no debate at the end of the season. Whoever wins is the champion because that team proved it on the court, even if a lot of it has to do with luck. Here's to hoping that during the next 110 years, Kansas gets lucky a few more times. 1923-1924: The Jayhawks were champions of their division with a 15-1 regular season record. They were 16-3 overall for the season. 1924-1925: The Jayhawks had another great season, again placing first in their division with a 15-1 record while going 17-1 for the regular season. 1925-1926: Phog Allen led his Hawks to another division title, tying the previous season's division and regular season records, 15-1 and 17-1 respectively. 17 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL THE LOST CHAMPIONS BASKETBALL CHAMPION PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Two 1920s teams were recognized as top-notch by Helms Foundation BY MATT LINDBERG Although the NCAA might say coach Forrest "Phog" Allen's first official NCAA title didn't come until the 1952 season, Allen's previous success in the 1920s, when he led the Jayhawks to back-toback national titles, should be noted. In the 1921-1922 season, the Hawks went 15-1 in their division and had a 16-2 overall record. With victories against notable schools such as Kansas State, Nebraska and Iowa State, the Hawks lost only twice, to Missouri and Kansas City AC, although they would go on to beat Missouri later in the season. Phog Allen didn't win an NCAA tournament until 1952, but his 1912-1922 and 1922-1923 teams were declared national champs by the Helms Foundation. The Hawks were declared the Helms Foundation National Champions that season. The Helms Athletic Foundation was created by Paul Helms and Bill Schroeder. It had a panel of experts who selected national champions in college football and basketball until 1982. The following season, 1922-1923, the Jayhawks went 16-0 in their division and went 17-1 for the season, once again losing to Kansas City AC in the middle of the season. The Hawks were again declared the Helms Foundation National Champions for the season. Coach Phog Allen was one of the driving forces and a supporter of the NCAA tournament. Although he was able to see his tournament come to fruition in 1939, it also meant the end of the Helms tournament, and the Hawks' back-to-back titles were no longer considered valid.

Early teams also practiced in the basement of Snow Hall Early teams fared well despite playing in cramped quarters of'Horrible Hoch' BY WHITNEY HAMILTON For 53 years, Allen Fieldhouse has stood at the corner of Naismith Drive. Inside the walls of the massive building lies tradition. To be more specific, four national championships, fifty conference championships and some of the best Kansas players to ever step foot on James Naismith court. It's hard to imagine life without Allen Fieldhouse. But there was a time when the men's basketball team played elsewhere. Before 1927, the team played in the basement of Snow Hall and Robinson Gymnasium during James Naismith's era. But from 1927 to 1955, the Jayhawks played in Hoch Auditorium. Hoch Auditorium fit only 3,500 people into its tight quarters. The small capacity and awkward basketball court of the auditorium led to the development of Allen Fieldhouse, where the men's and women's basketball teams now play. During the years that Kansas basketball played in Hoch Auditorium, it developed nicknames such as "The House of Horrors" or "Horrible Hoch."

The Fieldhouse was an improvement on the tight spaces and concrete floor of Hoch Auditorium. PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Because Hoch was considered a performing arts center, the court didn't leave much room for an out-of-bounds area. Games were played between the stage and the seats. Opponents thought the curved walls and tight area played tricks with their eyes. The curvature of the walls behind the backboards made it appear the walls were moving, making it harder for opponents to shoot free throws. Other problems made the auditorium unfit for basketball games. There was concrete beneath the wooden basketball floor and players complained about shin splints all the time. Space for the growing University was also an issue. As the basketball team continued to win games in Hoch Auditorium, the fan base became larger. Because the auditorium held only a limited number of people, tickets were sold for only half a game. Fans would try to buy tickets from scalpers outside to see the other half of the game. Although the team played in difficult circumstances, during the 1927 to 1955 seasons alone, it finished first in its conference a total of 17 times, went to the Sweet Sixteen once, was in the Final Four three times and won an NCAA title in 1952. For those years, the Jayhawks were coached by Forrest C. "Phog" Allen. Allen was the national coach of the year in 1950, and the Fieldhouse where the basketball teams play today is named after him. The Allen Fieldhouse is said to play a significant role in the basketball teams' success over the years. "It's haunted by the ghost of Phog Allen," said Natalie McAllister, a Topeka graduate student. "He's the Phog. He's supposed to be what you should beware of." 1937-1938: The Jayhawks went 18-2 and once again were crowned Big 6 champions for the season. 1938-1939: The Hawks finished third in the Big 6 with a 6-4 record and a 13-7 record for the entire season. 1939-1940: The Jayhawks tied for first with an 8-2 record and had a 19-6 overall record.

But looking at statistics, effect on the program, legacy and championships, we have developed a list of the top five Kansas Jayhawk mens basketball players. No.1: Danny Manning (1986-1988) The greatest player in KU history must have a lot of excellent qualities. Manning has all of them. On-the-court skill combined with off-the-court integrity helped Manning become the greatest player in KU history. Averaging 20 points and eight rebounds for his career didn't hurt either. Manning's crowning achievement came in 1988 when he led the Jayhawks to the national championship in Oklahoma. The team still bears the title "Danny and the Miracles." Manning was awarded the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four that year. Manning also finished his senior year with the Naismith and Wooden player of the year awards. STORY CONTINUED ON PAGE 29 25 In 1988, Danny Manning was one of the stars of the Kansas Jayhawk squad. Manning would go on to become the leading scorer in Kansas Jayhawk basketball history with 2,951 points total while at Kansas.

His incredible 30 points per game along with a little more than 18 boards speak for themselves. His finishing rank of 20th in points scored would be much higher if not for the freshmen only teams during the 50s which restricted freshmen to their own junior varsity teams. Even then, Chamberlain's freshmen games would sell out regularly as people wanted to catch of a glimpse of this basketball phenom. His only shortcoming? Failing to win a title. But no one can argue Chamberlain's influence on the program's legacy. Chamberlain is one of the most legendary Jayhawks. He averaged 30 points per game at Kansas. 90 PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Lovellette was a Jayhawk from 1950 to 1952. He scored 1,888 points in his career at Kansas and was one of the key players that helped Coach Phog Allen lead the Jayhawks to an NCAA title in 1952. No. 3: Clyde Lovellette (1950-1952) Before Chamberlain, Lovellette was the post player dominating the game. Finishing fourth in all-time points scored (again with only 3 years playing). Lovellette's career points per game average of 24.5 is topped only by Chamberlain himself. Lovellette also had one of the all time great collegiate years his senior year, averaging more than 28 points and 14 rebounds per game. He also helped win a national title and Play of the Year honors. 35 PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY JoJo White ranks 24 in the list of all-time leading scorers at Kansas. His Jayhawk career was from 1966-1969. No. 4: JoJo White (1965-1969) While many other guards might have put up better numbers during their careers, none had the presence and style of White. A leader on and off the court. White led the Jayhawks in scoring during his final years and ended up finishing 24th all time. White achieved this before stats were kept on assists and steals. If they had been recorded, those numbers would be among the top of the list. No. 5: Darnell Valentine (1977-1981) One of the all-time top guards at the University, he displayed excellent skills in his offensive and defensive game. Valentine not only finished fifth in scoring but also first in steals with 334. He also holds the record for most steals in a single season at 92. Rounding out his overall game is his third-place finish in all-time assists. Darnell Valentine was a Jayhawk from 1977 to 1981 and scored 1,821 points in his career at Kansas before going pro.

BY MATT LINDBERG There were 20 games, 6 days and 16 teams battling it out to be NCAA Champions of the 1951-1952 season. Although most fans and the media tend to think of the more recent Jayhawk basketball teams, the 1951-1952 Kansas men's basketball team made room in the Jayhawk history books by winning the NCAA title that year. Led by coach Forrest "Phog" Allen in his 35th year as head coach, the Jayhawks finished 28-3 for the season and placed first with an 11-1 Big 7 Conference record. Star player Clyde Lovellette was averaging 28.6 points for the season before the tournament began March 21, 1952. Dean Smith, who went on to be a legendary coach at North Carolina, was a reserve guard on the tea. Kansas' first-round opponent was Texas Christian University. While the Hawks weren't playing in Lawrence, the tournament's Kansas City, Mo., location gave the Jayhawks an edge in a 68-64 victory against TCU that day. The national semifinals took place on March 25 and 26 in Seattle. St. John's would win against Illinois 61-59 while the Jayhawks took on Santa Clara and won big, 74-55. The following day, March 22, the Jayhawks had a much easier time, knocking off St. Louis 74-55. Kansas and St. John's battled for the title in the championship game on March 26. The Jayhawks managed to gain an 18-point lead over St John's and win the NCAA title 80-63. The Kansas Jayhawks were declared the NCAA champions of the 1951-1952 season and Clyde Lovellette was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament after scoring 33 points and getting 17 rebounds in the title game. The year marked the third title for Coach Allen and a proud moment in Jayhawk basketball history. 1954-1955: The Jayhawks finished 11-10 for the season and tied for fifth in the Big 7, with a 5-7 record. 1955-1956: Under the final season of Coach "Phog" Allen, the Hawks went 14-9 and finished fifth in the Big 7 with a 6-6 record. 32 0 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL 'A VIEW FROM ABOVE' Wilt Chamberlain stands out as one of the greatest players in school history STORY ON PAGE 34 1956-1957: Dick Harp took over as head coach of the Jayhawks, coaching them to a 24-3 record and first in the Big 7.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 33 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL REMEMBERING A BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAS 13 LEGEND KANSAS 13 A lot of great players have come through the University of Kansas in their college basketball careers. If you ask students to remember some of the famous KU basketball players, you will get a lot of different responses. Some would mention Paul Pierce. Others might recall Julian Wright. Other people might reply with Danny Manning or Raef LaFrentz. But another name might come up, from a generation before those other Jayhawk greats: Wilt Chamberlain. PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Wilt Chamberlain, who played for the Jayhawks in the late 1950s, averaged a school-record 29.9 points per game and 18.9 rebounds per game during his career at Kansas. Chamberlain was the first player to win the Rookie of the Year and the Most Valuable Player awards during the same season in the NBA. If you need a reminder of Chamberlain's greatness, just head down to the Booth Hall of Athletics. There they have an entire pillar dedicated to Chamberlain that tells his story and includes items from his career, including his letterman's jacket, a 1970s Topps basketball card and a collection of photos from his days at Kansas. John Hadl, former KU football great and Most fans recognize the players who are still active in the NBA, and sometimes Chamberlain gets looked over. That should not be the case. Why do so many people forget about Chamberlain? "He wasn't really my generation," said Ted Klein, St. Louis freshman. Chamberlain did play in the late '50s, but let's not be so quick to forget his greatness. Chamberlain scored 29.9 points per game and 18.9 rebounds per game during his career at Kansas, both KU records. now an assistant athletics director at Kansas, said he remembered seeing Chamberlain play in his first game at Kansas. Before the next home men's basketball game in the Fieldhouse, take a second to look up at Chamberlain's retired jersey and think not only of the talent that Chamberlain possessed, but also of the image he represents for the KU basketball program. He racked up these numbers while, according to "The Crimson and Blue Handbook" by Eric Nelson and Lauretta McMillen, he was ineligible as a freshman. He holds both the KU scoring record and NBA scoring record for points in a game, with 52 points in a game at Kansas and 100 points in one game in the NBA with the Philadelphia Warriors. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Chamberlain's No. 13 jersey was retired to the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse in 1998. Chamberlain holds the record for most points scored in a game at the University and in the NBA, with 52 points scored in a game at Kansas and 100 points scored in a single NBA game. He was the first player to win the Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards in the same season in the NBA. Of course, there is also the famous statement from his autobiography, "A View From Above," where he claimed to have slept with more than 20,000 women. Chamberlain was one of the first all-stars in the sense of the word now, where it has come to describe the athletes who generate success not only on the court but also off it. Chamberlain was not only a star on the court, but he shined off it as well. He had his own radio show while he was a student at Kansas and he also released a record and appeared on "American Bandstand," according to "The Crimson and Blue Handbook." "He's Wilt Chamberlain," Hadl said. "He's one of the greatest basketball players of all time, professional and collegiate. He was a great guy." Greatness remembering greatness. Just as Hadl had his jersey inducted into the Ring of Honor at Memorial Stadium, Chamberlain also had his jersey retired and hung from the rafters in Allen Fieldhouse. MIDDLEBANK 13 MIDDLEBANK 22 PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Chamberlain excelled on the court for Kansas during the late 1950s, but he was active off the court as well, starring in his own radio show as an undergraduate student at the University, and also releasing a record. 1958-1959: The Hawks tied for third in the Big 8 and went 11-14 for the season. 1959-1960: The Hawks went 19-9 for the season and tied for first in the Big 8. 34 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL GROOVY PHOTOS COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY ABove: JoJo White plays basketball with two children.

The Fieldhouse has seen several winning streaks including the Big 12 record of 62. PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY If you are looking for modern amenities and comforts, keep searching. What Allen Fieldhouse lacks in flair and theatrics is replaced with bleachers, banners and old-fashioned student rituals. A rabid fan base would have it no other way — they have sold out this palace to tradition 101 straight games and counting. Named after legendary coach Forrest "Phog" Allen and located on Naismith Drive, which is named after basketball's inventor, the gym was built in 1955. The Fieldhouse was also originally used to train the ROTC and featured a dirt track around the court. Since then, minor alterations have been made. The school increased seating slightly in both 1986 and 1994 and modernized concessions and restrooms in 1999. In 2005, the gym received a face-lift when the lighting was improved, a new hardwood court with a bigger mid-court Jayhawk was installed and a multi-million dollar video board and soundboard replaced antiquated accessories. In homage to the past, however, the video board operators continued to show an old concession advertisement featuring dancing nachos that was a popular staple of the old non-replay-enabled scoreboard. The year 2005 also brought a revamped foyer with the creation of the Booth Hall of Athletics, located on the east side of the arena. The 26,000-square foot museum is divided into six exhibit areas and celebrates the traditions of Kansas Athletics.

The Fieldhouse is often lauded as one of the nation's premier collegiate athletic experiences. After Kansas' 2007 home loss against Texas A&M, the first Jayhawk loss in the Fieldhouse against a Big 12 South opponent since the advent of the league, ESPN college basketball reporter Andy Katz said: "Saturday night was another reminder that Phog Allen, not Cameron, is the best, loudest and most intimidating basketball arena in the country. The alma mater sound, the Rock Chalk Jayhawk chant, the swaying of the crowd and the deafening noise at times, make The Phog a true treasure in the sport." Jay Bilas, an ESPN announcer and Duke graduate, said in 2005: "I thought the atmosphere was unbelievable. I've been here before, but it's just such an unbelievable place. It has such character. I can't say I've ever been in a better arena." ESPN.com columnist J.A. Adande wrote in 2002: "Allen Fieldhouse, with its windows up on the walls and cozy size, is my favorite venue in college basketball. It has all the great atmosphere of Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium, with none of the pretentiousness." 1965-1966: The Hawks went 23-4 overall for the season and ranked first in the Big 8, with a 13-1 division record. 1966-1967: The Jayhawks repeated as Big 8 Champions and once again went 23-4 for the season. 38 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 1962 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 1953 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 1952 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 1988 KAW SKETBA WAHONSIA 50 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Jayhawk fans make Allen Fieldhouse one of the toughest places to play for opposing teams, according to ESPN.com polls. The Fieldhouse's small quarters, the fans' enthusiasm and the "Rock Chalk" chant contribute to the atmosphere. PRESIDENTIAL FESTIVAL PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Allen Fieldhouse originally featured a dirt track for ROTC cadet training surrounding the hardwood floor. Since then, the Fieldhouse has received renovations and upgrades but still has the same feel as it did in 1955, when it was built. Cameron is often a point of reference when discussing the Fieldhouse, as the two arenas are often pointed to as the sport's premier venues in terms of atmosphere and experience. One ESPN.com poll, which had more than 100,000 votes, voted the Fieldhouse as the "toughest venue for visitors in college basketball," and the place where "you most want to watch a game." It edged Cameron and Kentucky's Rupp Arena in both polls. The 16,300 capacity Fieldhouse still does not have luxury suites. Only a small fraction of the arena's seating has back rests. More than 4,000 of those seats are reserved for students. The Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy, in a recent column about the arena, said this of one of the student's most famous traditions, the "Rock Chalk" chant: "Their chant is a far cry from some of the look-at-me cleverness that's epidemic elsewhere. KU fans are trying to be part of the result, which is an altogether different thing." Season tickets to the Fieldhouse are annually sold out. The seating of the building is determined by a point system—mostly through donations. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony recently said that a one-time donation of $100,000 would not be enough to ensure a season ticket holder a front row seat. Such is life for one of the country's hottest tickets. On top of sitting on old-school bleachers, spectators get a feel for the tradition of the Fieldhouse by looking skyward. The "Pay heed all who enter: Beware of The Phog!" sign is famous, as are the banners commemorating past Jayhawk greats such as Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning, Paul Pierce, Lynette Woodard and Drew Gooden. All of which serve to make the arena among the most respected and revered in the country-if only the customer is willing to substitute comfort and amenities for tradition. 1967-1968: The Jayhawks placed second in the Big 8 and went 22-8 overall for the season, finishing as NIT runners-up. 1968-1969: The Hawks tied for second in the Big 8 with a 9-5 record and a 20-7 overall record. 1969-1970: The Hawks once again tied for second in the Big 8 with an 8-6 record and a 17-9 overall season. 39 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL JOHN RUSSELL Dipkins 12 1970-1980 PHOTOS COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Above: Kansas teams were up and down during the 1970s, going from losing years to Final Four seasons and back again.

The Kansas program began in 1968, 70 years after the game was invented BY BEN ASHWORTH The year is 1898, a monumental year in the history of Kansas basketball as James Naismith, the proclaimed inventor of basketball, becomes the coach of the first Kansas basketball team. Fast forward to 1968, a full 70 years later. In a year noted for the Tet Offensive, the assassination of Martin Luther King,and the release of the Beatles' self-titled "White Album," women's basketball finally came to the University of Kansas. In 1896, two years before men's basketball began at Kansas, the first intercollegiate women's basketball game was played between Stanford and Cal-Berkeley. While the score was a scintillating 2-1, a score often bested by pee-wee hockey games, it was a landmark game that signified the upcoming presence of women's basketball in the United States. During the next 70 years, most universities attempted to create women's basketball programs. Some programs, like the Tennessee Volunteers, who later became a noted women's basketball powerhouse, abandoned their programs in the 1920s because of low interest and short seasons, only to bring their program back in the 1960s. Women's basketball did not even have a national championship process until 1982, when Louisiana Tech won. During the Lady Jayhawks' first five years, they saw three coaches come and go. Marlene Mawson, Debbie Artman, and Sharon Drysdale coached three years, one year and one year respectively, each one able to maintain a winning record.

Under Washington, the Jayhawks played in 11 tournaments and advanced to the Sweet 16 in 1996. Henrickson seeks to improve team The year after that, they hired Marion Washington, who helped bring stability to the struggling Jayhawk program, remaining Kansas' coach for 31 years, during which she reached 11 tournaments, advancing furthest to the Sweet 16 in 1996. After Washington's retirement from the program, Bonnie Henrickson, the coach of the Virginia Tech Hokies, took the job. An expert at turning around a losing program, Henrickson helped Virginia Tech improve by a span of 12 games in her first year. Opposing coaches have been quick in their praise of the development of the KU women's basketball program. "Kansas is doing a tremendous job of building a program," said Indiana head coach Felisha Legette-Jack, after a loss to KU. "I have 100 percent respect for Bonnie Henrickson for her style, class and ability to grow a program." Even in losing, her abilities were praised by Kurt Budke, coach of thenranked Oklahoma State. "I love their team. I think Bonnie is a great coach, and I think they have a whole lot of options, and they have a true star in (Danielle) McCray. I don't think there's any question they're an NCAA tournament team." Although the Lady Jayhawks have not validated coach Budke's remarks in their first six games of Big 12 play, going 1-5, they have still shown glimpses of becoming a national threat. With a team starring mainly freshmen and sophomores, morale is still high. Senior Taylor McIntosh confirmed this. "We just have to keep on fighting and not get down on ourselves." McIntosh said. "We are in a bad position right now, but we can turn it around. Last year we started out bad but then we kind of turned it on and finished strong. We don't want to wait too late, but we can definitely regroup." 1976-1977: The Hawks slightly improved from the season before. Although they once again tied for fourth with a 8-6 record in the Big 8, they improved their overall record for the season, going 18-10. 42 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL MAYHAWKS 31 PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Lynte Woodard was leading the women's team in scoring when she left the University in 1981.

MAKING A STRONG STATEMENT Woodard shined as star player with KU, Globetrotters and Olympic team BY MATT LINDBERG We think of Wilt Chamberlain, Paul Pierce, Clyde Lovellette and many others went it comes to KU men's basketball. When it comes to KU women's basketball, it is without a doubt Lynette Woodard comes to mind. Woodard, a Wichita native, played at KU from 1978 to 1981. She left the Jayhawks as the leading scorer in women's' basketball history, with 3,649 points Life after college only furthered Woodard's success. In 1984, she joined the U.S. Olympic women's basketball team, which proceeded to win the gold medal that year. total as a Kodak All-American. In 1985, Woodard became the first ever woman to join the legendary Harlem Globetrotters. "Every player has a dream team so to speak, someone they want to play for or play like, and the Gobetrotters was always the team I chose. Then it was dream come true. I said from a baby that I was going to play for this team," Woodard said to NBA. com in 2005 in regards to joining the Globetrotters. Woodard spent some time overseas playing in Italy until 1993. In 1997, the newly formed Women's National Basketball Association, the WNBA, was formed and the Cleveland Rockers signed her to a contract. In the 1998 WNBA Expansion draft, the Detroit Shock chose Woodard in the fourth round. She played 27 games for the Shock before retiring in 1999. She returned to the University that same year as an assistant coach for the women's basketball team. In 2004, was named interim head coach as a replacement for Marian Washington, who retired for medical purposes. Currently, Woodard resides in Wichita and works as a financial consultant. 1977-1978: The Hawks placed first in the Big 8, going 13-1 in the division and 24-5 for the regular season. 1978-1979: The Hawks tied for second in the Big 8 with an8-6 record and went 18-11 for the season. 1979-1980: The Jayhawks tied for third in the Big 8 with a 7-7 record and a 15-14 regular season record.

Shortly after the Jayhawks had a disappointing season, Kansas went all the way, defeating Oklahoma in the championship. Right:Darnell Valentine and Ted Owens faced much disappointment at the end of Owens' tenure as coach. BY MARK DENT Monte Johnson sat in the stands at Allen Fieldhouse not sure what to make of the disaster unfolding around him. A team was losing badly on the floor, and it seemed as if no one cared. Only about 3,000 people were in the stands with him. The beautiful building had lost its charm. "It's a Saturday," friends would tell him. "People aren't used to games on Saturdays yet." Johnson knew that wasn't the reason. He'd seen Allen Fieldhouse full before, back when he was a player in the 1950s and teamed up with Wilt Chamberlain to play in the Final Four, and as an employee of the Athletics Department in 1960s when he watched almost every game. Now, after making the trip from his home in Wichita, he knew something was wrong. It certainly wasn't the Saturday afternoon game time. It was the product. There was Johnson, the athletics director, Larry Brown, the coach, and Danny Manning, the player. Plenty of others helped, but decisions and performances by these three turned Kansas from a team that finished with two straight losing seasons in the early 1980s to national champions by 1988. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Kansas basketball slipped from perennial power to bottom of the Big 8. It took three men to help restore its tradition. Monte Johnson was perfectly content living a low-key life in Wichita as a banker. He'd done the KU Athletics thing for a while, working nearly every job within the Athletics Department from 1961 to 1970. By then, he'd had enough. Johnson found plenty of success and more money in the banking business. He was happy. Then, in the fall of 1982, he received some surprising news. Johnson was nominated to be the Athletics Director at his alma mater. The nomination was completely out of the blue. Johnson had spent very little time in Lawrence, only making the two-hour trip to help former teammate Bob Billings with developments in the Alvamar neighborhood or to go to the occasional basketball game.

Although the talent was somewhat lacking, Brown led the team to a second-place finish in the conference. 1983-1984: Danny Manning burst on to the scene, scoring nearly 15 points per game as a freshman.

Below: Larry Brown resurrected the Hawks, leading them to a national championship five years after moving to Lawrence. U He wasn't seriously interested. Besides, whoever got the job had to fix an Athletics Department that was in shambles. Three directors had gone in and out of the position in the past year. The basketball team was struggling under coach Ted Owens and drawing smaller crowds than ever. Kansas had made it to the NCAA tournament only once in the past four years. The Jayhawks finished with a losing record in 1982 and were about to start another losing season. Chuck Woodling, who covered the basketball team for the Lawrence Journal- World from 1969 to 2005, saw the decline. "It was a low point." Woodling said. "People were disappointed and thought the KU tradition was fading." Still, Johnson decided to go for an interview. His occasional trips to the Fieldhouse allowed him to see how badly the basketball program needed a change. Johnson got the job and accepted it. "I thought being an alum, I could help with some of the problems," he said. Johnson went to work quickly. When Owens and the Jayhawks finished seventh in the Big 8 with a 13-16 overall record, Johnson fired Owens in the spring of 1983. "We would have one good year out of four," Johnson said. "It was like a roller coaster." With Owens gone, Johnson needed to find a coach to help him bring the basketball team back to prominence. An unfamiliar voice greeted Johnson on the telephone in his office. At the time, he was busy preparing for a trip to Albuquerque, the site of the NCAA Championship and where he planned to interview 10 college coaches for the job at Kansas. The voice on the phone was that of Martin "Spider" Reed. Reed was a KU graduate and acquaintance of Johnson who had been living in Denver. While there, he had developed a relationship with Larry Brown and thought that Brown, who was then coaching the New Jersey Nets, might be interested in taking the Kansas job. This was intriguing. Johnson had never considered Brown before Reed mentioned his name. Johnson got Brown's phone number from Reed and gave him a call. No one answered. Oh well. There would be plenty of good candidates to interview in Albuquerque, N.M., Johnson figured. He forgot about Brown. Until the very next day, that is. Johnson got another unusual phone call. This time, it was from CBS analyst Billy Packer. Packer told him that Brown would be a perfect fit for the job and gave him another phone number where he could reach the Nets coach. Johnson called and this time Brown answered. They would meet at a hotel in Kansas City the next Monday to talk about the job. Although Johnson knew Brown was interested, he still went to Albuquerque to complete the scheduled interviews. His first one was with North Carolina coach Dean Smith. Johnson said he offered him the job, but Smith said he couldn't leave a school where they were getting ready to name a gym after him. Johnson left Albuquerque that weekend liking a few of the candidates, but he was still interested in interviewing Brown on Monday. He had good reason. As soon as he spoke a few words to Brown, Johnson was blown away. "He was the most mild-mannered person I'd ever met," Johnson said. "He was not the guy I'd seen on the court. When he was on the basketball court, he was totally in charge." Johnson left the interview not knowing whether he should hire Brown or Eddie Sutton, who was coaching Arkansas at the time. A few days later, he called Sutton to find out how interested he was in the job. He could tell Sutton was reluctant. Another employee in the Athletics Department, Lonnie Rose, had Brown on hold as Johnson talked to Sutton. Soon, Johnson realized Sutton wouldn't be worth the trouble if he took too long to decide. He grabbed the phone from Rose and hired Brown on the spot. Once on the job, Brown made a decision as smart as Johnson's decision to hire him. He made a truck driver named Ed Manning an assistant coach. The hire wouldn't have been anything special if not for Ed's son, Danny. Danny Manning was one of the top high school basketball players in the country. By hiring Ed, Brown developed an immediate connection to Manning and got the Manning family to move from Greensboro, N.C., to Lawrence. Not surprisingly, Manning, a McDonald's All-American, signed with the Jayhawks. STORY CONTINUED ON PAGE 48 1984-1985: In the final season Ted Owens coached the Jayhawks, the Hawks went 4-10 in the Big 8, seventh place overall. The Jayhawks were 13-16 for the season. 1985-1986: The Larry Brown hire paid off. In just his third season, Brown took the Jayhawks to the Final Four. They endured a painful loss in the national championship game that motivated the players who were still around to make sure they wouldn't repeat it again if given another opportunity for a championship. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 47 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL KEMPER ARENA KANSAN FILE PHOTOS Brown and Manning turned the program around immediately, leading the team to three straight NCAA tournament berths and a Final Four in 1986. The team appeared to take a step back in the 1987-1988 season before Manning began to carry the Jayhawks. They beat Xavier, Murray State, Vanderbilt, Kansas State and Duke to reach the championship game against Oklahoma. Above: Kansas fans celebrate at Kemper Arena after the 1988 championship game. But to beat the Sooners, a team that had defeated them twice already, Kansas would need a major lift not just from Manning but from Brown, too. Mark Turgeon shuffled into the Kansas locker room at Kemper Arena behind Manning and the rest of the players at halftime of the national championship game. Like all the coaches, players and fans, Turgeon, a graduate assistant, was pleased with KU's first-half effort. The score was tied at 50. Turgeon really thought the Jayhawks had a good opportunity to win. His confidence went up even further as soon as Brown started addressing his team. Brown told his players about the time he coached in the 1980 national championship when he was with UCLA. The Bruins lost to Louisville 59-54, and the Cardinals' Darrell Griffith scored 23 points. Right: Danny Manning led the Hawks to victory over the Oklahoma Sooners. Brown looked at Manning. "Darrell Griffith was the best player on the court, and he was not going to let Louisville lose that game," he told him. "You have to do the same." Then Brown turned to the rest of the team. He started talking about the drive home from the same game. "There was a long line of joyous cars driving from Indianapolis back to Louisville that night," Brown told them. "Our fans can have the same, driving from Kansas City back to Lawrence." Manning did just what Brown wanted. He wouldn't let Kansas lose. He scored 31 points and grabbed 18 rebounds. Perhaps most importantly, he took the ball up the court for the Jayhawks most of the game, negating the quick hands of Sooners guard Mookie Blaylock, who was as good as anyone at stealing the ball. All the players got the message. "It was just a perfect speech at a perfect time," Turgeon said. That was obvious from Kansas' performance in the second half. The Jayhawks weren't as hot as they were in the first 20 minutes, but they played well enough to hold off the Sooners and win 83-79. Johnson watched the net-cutting ceremony from the Kemper Arena stands. He was no longer the athletics director on that April night. He had retired about a year before. In fact, Johnson was helping out Oklahoma by playing host to the team for the Big 8. It didn't matter. The victory still tasted sweet for Johnson. The game was a lot better than the one he remembered watching with just 3,000 other fans in the early 1980s. That era was ancient history now. Tradition was restored. The championship was the work of many players, coaches and other members of the Athletics Department, but three men stuck out Johnson, Brown and Manning. Without Johnson's decision to hire Brown, Brown's recruitment of Manning and motivational tactics, and Manning's ability to lead a team, the quick turnaround wouldn't have been possible. "I felt like we laid the groundwork for something unexpected," Johnson said. GRANT 25 1986-1987: The Jayhawks took a small step back after losing Ron kellogg, Calvin Thompson and Greg Dreiling from the Final Four team of a season before. Kansas lost 11 total games but still made the Sweet 16 and tied for second in the Big 8. 1987-1988: A miracle happened. Danny Manning led the No. 6-seeded Jayhawks to the national championship, the fourth in school history. No one gave Kansas a shot at greatness after it struggled throughout the regular season. The Jayhawks pulled together behind Manning and defeated Oklahoma for the national title. Manning led the team in scoring in 35 of 38 games. 48 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL DANNY THE MIRACLE Manning has done more than lead Kansas to the 1988 championship Danny Manning was the star player of the 1988 championship. Manning was a Jayhawk from 1985 to 1988 before moving on to the NBA in 1989 when he was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers. BY WHITNEY HAMILTON Jon Goerina/KANSAN It's April 4, 1988. An unranked Kansas team is playing against ranked Oklahoma. With a powerful team, the Sooners had an easy victory against the Jayhawks. But the one thing the Sooners didn't have was Danny Manning. Manning scored thirty-one points against the Sooners and singlehandedly took a team that was considered the underdog and made them the 1988 NCAA national champions. "Before the game, we are going down the steps with our team before going out on the court," Manning said. "I remember being in our last huddle and Coach telling us to go out, play hard and have fun. I remember after the game, sitting with the guys in the locker room and talking. Those are the two fondest memories I have about the championship game." That season the Jayhawks were nicknamed "Danny and the Miracles." The nickname was for good reason, too. Not only did Manning score the most points during the Oklahoma game, he also had eighteen rebounds. But Manning insists the Hawks always played as a team. "Everyone's role was the same. We always talked about playing hard, playing together and playing unselfish. If we did those things we had a chance to be successful," Manning said. "We believed in that, and it was a matter of figuring out the best way to get the job done on each particular night. Throughout the course of the season, throughout the course of the NCAA tournament, every player on that team played a role in each victory we had." Manning, a 6-foot-11 forward, received the Most Outstanding Player award for the championship game. He accomplished a lot in his years at Kansas. If the victories weren't enough to remind him how amazing the Jayhawks had become, the awards he racked up surely would. He became a two-time All-American during his time at Kansas and was the consensus College Player of the Year in 1988. He also became a three-time Big Eight Conference player of the year for the 1986-1988 seasons. Manning is still the eighth leading scorer in NCAA history and Kansas' all-time leading scorer to date, making him a basketball hero in Allen Fieldhouse. Before leaving Kansas, Manning was selected to be on the U.S. national team in 1988 for the Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. The team took home the bronze medal. Manning ended his career at Kansas as the all-time leader in points and rebounds and achieved 2,951 points in his career, setting a Big Eight Conference record. After his four years at Kansas and a nice ending to a perfect season, Manning decided to go into the NBA Draft. As the son of former NBA player and KU coach Ed Manning, he wanted his own taste of professional basketball. He became the No.1 overall pick in the draft and was signed to the Los Angeles Clippers. He spent six years playing for the Clippers but moved on to play on seven different NBA teams. After the Clippers, Manning played for the Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks, Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons. Playing only 26 games as a rookie, Manning continued to work hard and make friends, family and Jayhawk nation proud. His short playing time as a rookie was due to a torn ACL, but he came back to play for the 1989-1990 season. During the 1992-1993 season, Manning was making baskets just like in his jayhawk days. He scored an average of 22.8 points a game and became eligible for the All-Star game the next season. As he strengthened his ACL and got more comfortable playing with professionals, he had his best season in the NBA. Although Manning played for a different team in his final four seasons in the NBA, he averaged fourteen points per game and made 12,367 career points. Knee problems made it hard for Manning to continue basketball, so he had to become a part-time player in 1996. That didn't stop Manning from receiving the Sixth Man award in 1997-1998. That year, he was the best reserve player and scored an average of 13.5 points. He was also getting an average playing time of 26 minutes despite having two more knee surgeries. The following season, he was in the All-Star game again. Manning did not want his basketball dream to be over just yet. Most athletes who have reconstructive surgery on both knees are reluctant to return to the sport. Manning was the first player to come back after such a surgery before Amare Stoudermire. Finally, Manning decided his fifteen years in the NBA were over. After years of problems with his knees, he announced his retirement in 2003. Although he was done with playing basketball, Manning still wanted to be involved in basketball. Returning to his old stomping grounds after more than a decade, Manning became team manager and the director of student/athlete development. Manning had many jobs in his position, such as ordering new equipment assisting the youth clinic in December and helping organize the summer camps alongside Bill Self. At the end of the 2006-2007 season, Self was looking for a new assistant coach because Tim Jankovich was moving to a head coaching position at Illinois State University. Manning was glad to take over the position. Although the Jayhawks had not won a national title since Manning played for the them, the team had hard-working players willing to do whatever it took. In a year, Manning has been the driving force to helping the big men improvement for Sasha Kaun, Brandon Rush and Darnell Jackson. "It's Coach Self's system. I am just an extension of what he wants", Manning said. "I get to spend a little more time with the bigs, and Coach Self's philosophy is to play hard, to play within our same concepts and to do what is asked of you. These guys, in particular Darnell (Jackson) and Sasha (Kaun), have been in the system for quite a while." With a successful season and players improving every game, it's hard not to think that "Danny and the Miracles" might be guiding the Jayhawks to their fifth NCAA championship. 1988-1989: Larry Brown gave first-year coach Roy Williams a raw deal. The Jayhawks managed to win 18 games but were saddled with probation because of Brown's violations and were not allowed to compete in the NCAA tournament. Kansas finished with a losing record in Big 8 play. 1989-1990: Year two was much better for Roy Williams. Kansas won 30 games and finished second in the Big 8.

Arena quality, fans, coach, supporting cast, academics, proximity to family and the presence of college girls have always been taken under consideration in college basketball. However, as the NBA has expanded and paychecks have skyrocketed, the ability of a head coach to turn a freshman into not only a well-polished college player, but an NBA-ready, potential draft pick has become a deciding factor in the finalizing stages of recruitment. Luckily, the NBA has been kind recently to former Kansas players, making them NBA players from stars to supporting cast members. The following eight players have made an impact not only on the professional basketball court, but also back at Kansas, where their contributions have helped land key recruits looking for that big future contract. Paul Pierce — For years, he was the lone superstar on a Celtic team spoiled by years of championships ranging from the days of Bill Russell to the 1980s, led by the three-some of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish. Pierce's constant outcry for more talent was heard as he was joined by Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in the offseason. He left Kansas after an All-American junior year and was drafted tenth. Since his entrance into the NBA, he became a five-time All-Star and averaged 23.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists during his career. Kirk Hinrich — Although recognized recently for his struggles as part of a disappointing Bulls team which has less heart than the Tin Man, Hinrich exploded onto the scene as part of the NBA draft class including LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwyane Wade. With a career average of 14.7 points and 6.4 assists per game, he helped lead the Bulls to a sweep of the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA play-offs. Hinrich stayed until his senior year, beneficial for him as he was drafted seventh in 2003. Drew Gooden — A member of the Kansas team that lost to Juan Dixon and the Maryland Terrapins in the Final Four in 2002, Gooden decided to put an end to his college career as a junior, declaring early for the NBA draft. After being drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies with the fourth pick, he appeared to be a journeyman, traveling from the Grizzlies to the Orlando Magic before finding his niche in Cleveland alongside LeBron James. He averaged 12.1 points and 8 rebounds while trying to escape the "soft" label which haunted him at Kansas. Nick Collison — Collison is well-remembered for receiving a standing ovation by Dick Vitale for his 24-point, 23-rebound performance in a victory win against Texas. The gritty forward led Kansas to two Final Fours before being drafted 10th by the Seattle Supersonics. He missed his rookie season because of a shoulder injury but has since joined the starting lineup, averaging 9.3 points and almost nine rebounds this season. 1993-1994: Jacque Vaughn's greatness was apparent early. Vaughn, a freshman, made a three-pointer at the buzzer to sink Indiana in Allen Fieldhouse. It's one of the most memorable shots in KU history. The Jayhawks finished third in the Big 8 and made the Sweet 16. STORY CONTINUED ON PAGE 53 1994-1995: Another great for Kansas with a Big 8 championship. A Final Four looked like a possibility, but Virginia ousted the Jayhawks from the tournament in the Sweet 16. 1995-1996: Freshman Paul Pierce emerged, and Raef LaFrentz and Jacque Vaughn continued to get better as Kansas won the Big 8 title and made it to the Elite Eight. The Jayhawks were crippled by Syracuse's defense later that season, a shock for most Kansas Jayhawk basketball fans.

Despite numerous reports that he would return for his junior year, he decided to forgo his final two seasons and got drafted by the New Orleans Hornets with the 13th pick. However, he has had trouble getting off of the bench, still molding his game to become NBA-ready while averaging two points a game. Raef LaFrentz — LaFrentz was actually drafted the same year as Pierce, seven spots ahead of him at pick three. His numbers never came close to rival- ing Pierce's, and the blockbuster contract he signed with the Denver Nuggets often left him as an addition to trades to fulfill salary cap obligations. Still, his numbers have been respectable, putting up an average of 10.7 points per game coupled with 6.5 rebounds. His perimeter game, which made him such an unorthodox power forward, was prominent his first nine seasons, but he has only made two out of 26 three-pointers in the two years since. Jacque Vaughn — In 126 games at KU, he averaged less than 10 points per game. Scouts still recognized his ball handling and leadership, causing him to be drafted by the Utah Jazz with the 28th pick. With the great John Stockton as his mentor, he found his niche as a backup point guard during the past 10 years. Currently, he is with the San Antonio Spurs. He is regarded as a seasoned NBA veteran, with a career average of 4.5 points and 2.5 assists per game. Scott Pollard — A man of many hairstyles (including the duo-pontyta experiment that made people mistake him for a schoolgirl needing a shave), Pollard has managed to make his living emulating the play and often the appearance of Dennis Rodman. Playing for five different teams over his 11-year career, he averages more rebounds per game during his career (4.7) than points (4.3). He was drafted 19th by the Detroit Pistons who saw similarities between him and Bill Laimbeer, a member of the infamous Bad Boy teams of the '80s. Kansas can expect to add many more players to this list, as scouts are taking an interest in Darnell Jackson, Darrell Arthur, Sasha Kaun, Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, and Sherron Collins. These players are Bill Self players, and if he successfully helps them transfer their skills to the NBA, his already impressive recruiting abilities will be much improved. That may result in many future Kansas teams mirroring the standout team everyone is watching today. 1996-1997: March 21, 1997, will forever stick out as one of the worst days in KU basketball history. A team that was favored to win the national title lost to Arizona in the Sweet 16. It was the last game for Jacque Vaughn, Jerod Haase and Scott Pollard. The Jayhawks won the Big 12 regular season and postseason titles in what was the first year for the conference. They also started the season 22-0, the best start in school history. 1997-1998: Another sad ending for the Jayhawk faithful. No.1-seeded Kansas, which had two of its best players ever in Paul Pierce and Raef LaRentz, bowed out in the second round of the NCAA Tournament to Rhode Island. This team set a school record for victories with 35 and won the Big 12 regular season and postseason tournament.

And with any long-standing tradition, there are always highlights that will stick more than others. There are many highlights that one could reference in regard to Kansas basketball history: Anything from Naismith inventing the game to winning the national title in 1988 to being the best and winningest team during the '90s, with teams like the '96-'97 squad that featured stars such as Jacque Vaughn, Scott Pollard, Greg Ostertag, Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce, among others. Of the many moments in Jayhawk basketball history, Olathe freshman Jeff Brown picked '96-'97 team lead by Pierce. "I was in second grade, and I went to the 22nd game of the season. That was my first game as a fan," Brown said. "It was a great year for seniors. It was an unforgettable year." The team went 32-1 that year and was ranked No.1 in the nation in the Associated Press Poll. Even though the closest followers of the team could tell you many statistics and details, there are also those who enjoy different aspects of Kansas basketball. Senior Lauren Gunn has always enjoyed the atmosphere, as well as the more simple things about the game. "I just like going to the games and getting free tickets from my boss," he said. Similarly, sophomore Ryan Jones also top 5 moments Fifteen students participated in an unofficial poll to rank the top five moments in Jayhawk basketball history. Listed in order of first place votes: 1. Victory against Texas in the 2006 Big 12 Championship, avenging an earlier loss that season. (18) 2. The 73-46 drubbing of No.19 Kentucky on Jan. 7, 2006. (4) 3. The 2003 Final Four appearance and NCAA Championship runner up to Syracuse.(10) 4. The 1988 NCAA Championship. (5) 5. The 1996-1997 team finishing 32-1, ranked No. 1 in the nation. (4) enjoyed the more sentimental side of his experience with KU basketball. "I won a piece of the court that was signed. I was working at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. It was kind of random," he said. Fans can cite many moments in the first 110 years of Jayhawk basketball as their favorite. While most may disagree as to what their particular favorite moment is, one thing certain is that many more are to come. 1998-1999: Not a great time to be a Jayhawk. Eric Chenowith regressed and Kenny Gregory missed jumper after jumper to send Kansas to a fifth-place finish in the Big 12. Fortunately, the team showed signs of life with its youth. Freshmen Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden all played major roles by the end of the year. 1999-2000: Ladies, meet Jeff Boschee. The hairless wonder from North Dakota jumped on the scene his freshman year and was smoking-hot from the outside. His three-point shooting lifted the Jayhawks to the Big 12 Tournament Championship and earned him the tournament's MVP award. A heartbreaking overtime loss to Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament ended the season. 54 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL 2002 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS KANSAN FILE PHOTOS Senior Night 2003. fted COACH MISSOURI HARMAN 3 44 THE NEW MILLENNIUM 2000-2008 Kansas enters new era, Bill Self takes the helm 2000-2001: Roy Williams defeated Stank 'Em, the imaginary monkey that sat on his back as many talented Jayhawk teams failed to get past the second round of the tournament. Kansas finished second in the Big 12 and lost to Illinois, coached by Bill Self, in the third round of the NCAA tournament. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2001-2002: Finally, another Final Four. Roy Williams brought Kansas back to national semifinals for the first time since 1993. He had Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and a great freshman class to work with. The Jayhawks went 16-0 in the Big 12, becoming the first team to do it, before losing to Maryland in the Final Four. 55 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL NO SCHOLARSHIP, NO PROBLEM BY JOSH BOWE For most KU fans, it's easy to notice the starters that contribute so much to this team and even some of the role players off the bench. To the most dedicated fans at KU (which is a majority of the fans anyway) they are on first name basis even with the super freshmen that might not get that many minutes with the superior play of the juniors and seniors this year. But how about the players, who come to practice early, leave late and are the first off the bench to offer high fives, but rarely get to leave that bench to check into the game? These, of course, are the walk-ons. For most walk-ons it is simply being a part of one of the greatest programs in college basketball history, Walk-ons play for free in return for front-row seats, mop-up minutes and the opportunity to wear a Kansas jersey that alone is a pleasure enough. For others they could of been a star at lesser schools, but the aurora of Kansas basketball simply lures them in. But not all walk-ons are limited to just helping starters be better in practice and be cheerleaders on the sidelines. During Moody's years at Kansas, All-American Wayne Simien was patrolling the paint. There was no chance Moody would ever see the court. But injuries and the hard play of Moody actually put him into the starting lineup averaging 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, filling the void that Simien left and later playing alongside him, even the great Billy Take, for example, Christian Moody, who could be called the greatest walk-on KU has ever seen.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO KANSAS RIDES HIGH IN 2008 SEASON Jayhawks have hopes of NCAA title BY MARK DENT Scott Yingling's camping group arrived at Allen Fieldhouse almost 12 hours before the start of "Late Night in the Phog" so they could earn the second place in line. The long wait didn't bother Yingling, a 2007 graduate from Atlanta. He's been to every Late Night since 1999, but he had to see this "You have to be able to say you're here for Late Night the year we win it all," Yingling said. "We will win it all this year." one. Four months after Late Night marked the beginning of the season, Yingling's prediction remains a possibility. Kansas' season has been full of highlights, and the best may still be yet to come. The season started off as planned. Kansas blew out several weak opponents and just kept getting better as Brandon Rush recovered from his ACL injury and began playing in November. The only surprise may have been Darnell Jackson. Jackson is one of the biggest reasons Kansas is having success. Jackson was the second-leading scorer and top rebounder on the team through January. After moving on from personal issues of the past, Jackson has also become the team's leader. "It's a win-win," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Darnell can bring up the mood in any room." With Jackson leading the way, the Jayhawks won their first 20 games. Undefeated talk swirled around the program and Kansas rose to No. 2 in the 2004-2005: They weren't supposed to go out like this. No way. But it happened. Wayne Simien, Keith Langford, Michael Lee and Aaron Miles, one of Kansas' most successful classes, ended their careers with a shocking first round NCAA Tournament loss to Bucknell. It was one of the biggest upsets in tournament history. The loss culminated a season that turned sour after a 20-1 start. 58 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL CREE 9 OU KANSAN FILE PHOTO Mario Chalmers dunks and helped dissapoint many Colorado fans in 2008, as the Jayhawks went on to beat Colorado 72-59. rankings. Many believed a perfect regular season was possible if the Jayhawks defeated Kansas State at Bramlage Coliseum. It wasn't meant to be. K-State defeated Kansas for the first time in 25 years in Manhattan. Although the loss was crushing, the Jayhawks can still reach plenty of their goals such as a Big 12 championship and top seed in the NCAA Tournament. Jackson and four other seniors, Sasha Kaun, Russell Robinson, Rodrick Stewart and Jeremy Case, are determined to make it happen. They've won three straight Big 12 titles and want to make it a fourth. "Sasha, he'll say something," Jackson said. "Jeremy, he'll say something. I'll say something. We all talk to each other. Everybody steps up to the stage and speaks. Nobody holds their tongue for anything. If somebody is slacking, Russ will get on them. If I did something wrong, Sasha will tell me I did something wrong. We all help each other out." But the Big 12 title isn't all they are hoping for. They want something bigger. They want to give Kansas its first national championship since 1988. "They know at Kansas, we're measured at a high level, and they want to go out as being recognized as one of the winningest classes," Self said. "It's hard to do that if you win Big 12 titles and don't go to a Final Four. I'm not saying that it's Final Four or bust, but in their minds, that's what we're striving for." 5 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Brandon Rush was one of the stars of the Jayhawk team throughout the 2007 season,starting at guard.

Although that game stood out, this year was all about progress. Kansas, with a talented but inexperienced freshman class, rebounded from a 3-4 start to win the regular season Big 12 Championship and tournament championship. 2006-2007: All the kids grew up. Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush and Julian Wright matured into premier players as sophomores, and Kansas benefited. The Jayhawks won another regular season Big 12 Championship and tournament championship. Their quest for the Final Four ended one game short with a loss to UCLA in the Elite Eight.

Falkenstien called the names of Jayhawk greats from Clyde Lovelette to Brandon Rush during his 60 years broadcasting Kansas basketball games on the radio. 'A long story,' but told so well Announcer Max Falkenstien was courtside for 60 of Kansas basketball's 110 years BY ERIC JORGENSEN Editor's note: The following article originally appeared in The University Daily Kansan on Feb. 28, 2006, the day before Max Falkenstien's final broadcast of a Kansas men's basketball home game. When Max Falkenstien went on the air to broadcast his first KU men's basketball game, Dean Smith was starting high school, Wilt Chamberlain was a gangly 9-year-old in Philadelphia, Roy Williams' birth was four years away and Bill Self would not be born for more than a decade and a half. It was 1946, Max was 21, and the Oklahoma A&M Aggies — now Oklahoma State — were playing the Jayhawks in a game featuring two legendary coaches, Hank Iba and Phog Allen. Iba's Aggies defeated Phog's Jayhawks on the way to a national championship. Sixty years and more than 2,100 basketball and football games later, Max, 81, broadcast his final home game when Kansas played Colorado in Allen Fieldhouse on March 1, 2006. 60 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL making him the most senior Jayhawk honored on senior night. In his 60 years as a Jayhawk radio announcer, Max has traveled from sunny Hawaii to frantic New York City's Madison Square Garden to blistering Anchorage, Alaska. He announced Jayhawk basketball national championships in Seattle in 1952 and in Kansas City, Mo., in 1988. He has played golf with Dean Smith, landed Roy Williams in trouble at a Florida Sea World, fallen in love with a baby gorilla named Max and made thousands of fans through his distinct baritone voice on the radio. How did all this happen? "Oh, that's a long story," he said — 60 years long. GOING LIVE WREN radio when he was asked to broadcast that playoff game between the Aggies and the Jayhawks. With no prior experience and no one teaching him how, he took the job. "I never thought of Max as a member of the media. I thought of him as a friend." It started in high school when Max went on a field trip to the University of Kansas. It was a journalism excursion to learn and practice radio broadcasting. A teacher told Max he had an amazing voice, and she recommended he try his hand at broadcasting. He heeded that advice. Max was broadcasting news for Little did he realize that he would continue calling games for KU into the next century, from the "Big Dipper," Wilt Chamberlain, to the "Kansas ROY WILLIAMS Former Kansas coach Comet," Gale Sayers, to Danny Manning and the 1988 championship basketball team to Nick Reid and the Forth Worth Bowl champions. OLD FRIENDS The voice of the Jayhawks said his favorite moment as a broadcaster was the 1952 basketball national championship game. The Phog Allen-coached team sported Player of the Year Clyde Lovelette, who led Kansas to an 80-63 shellacking of St. John's in the game. One member of that team was Dean Smith, now the winningest coach in men's basketball history. The two first met when Max broadcast a high school basketball playoff game in March 1949 between Smith's Topeka High School and Lawrence High School. Smith remembers that game because Max "made me sound good," he said. The two remain close friends, playing golf together whenever Smith is in town. "He's a good putter, but he needs to work on his iron play," Smith said. Max admitted, "I can't put the ball on the green from a hundred yards." Regardless of missed greens and miles of separation, Smith said, "I always look forward to seeing him." POPCORN AND DOLPHINS Roy Williams, who left his job as an assistant to Smith at North Carolina to coach the Jayhawks, said he had "a million Max stories" from his 15 years at Kansas. "We were with the team in Gainesville, and we decided to go Sea World," he said. LEW PERKINS Kansas Athletics Director Williams said he and Max were standing next to a dolphin pool, and Williams was eating from a bag of popcorn. into the tank. Williams did exactly that, and he will never forget what ensued. "He is one of the most beloved people in Kansas history." "Do dolphins like popcorn?" Williams asked Max. "I think they would, coach," Max said, egging Williams on to throw a handful As the kernels hit the water, a worker across the pool yelled angrily at Williams. "Hey! Are you trying to kill our dolphins?" Williams said, impersonating the park employee. Shocked, Williams turned to Max for support. To his surprise, Max was gone, leaving Williams to take the scolding. "I turned around and he was 50 feet away," Williams laughed. "It was his idea, and I was the one getting yelled at." Max got away, safe from park security. "When he threw it I was at the dolphin tank. When he turned around I was at the whale tank," Max said. Now coaching at North Carolina, Williams stays close with Max. "I never looked at Max as a member of the media. I looked at him as a friend," Williams said.

Falkenstien has remained involved with the Athletics Department, and he still appears at men's basketball home games. KANSAN FILE PHOTO No matter where the road took Max, he always found his way home to his wife, Isobel. The couple has two children, three grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. Max said life on the road was not taxing on his family matters. The great-grandfather said he traveled for four or five football games a year and about 15 road basketball games. He said he always looked forward to going home, but enjoyed sightseeing along the way. 60 YEARS OF LOVE Max's Midwestern charm has attracted many admirers in his 60-year tenure. Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said. "Max is just history." Williams said. "There are few Max Falkenstiens. No one will ever touch 60 again." Smith said, "All you can do is praise it. He shouldn't retire." Fans he encounters on gameday let him know how they feel about him. Perkins said, "He is one of the most beloved people in Kansas history." So beloved, in fact, the Topeka Zoo once named a gorilla "Max the Gorilla" after the announcer. Max even went with a zoo crew to Dallas to pick up the zoo's new baby gorilla, cradling him in his arms like an infant on the flight home to Topeka. LEGEND OF THE PHOG Max shies away from the word "legend," which his friends throw at him like passes quarterbacks have thrown to receivers in the games he's called for six decades. "Legend is a hard word to know what it means," he said. "I don't know if it goes to someone who's been around so damn long, or if they just enjoyed the work they've done." One longtime listener, Earl Merkel, 73, travels from Russell to Lawrence for each home game. Merkel has listened to Max since the late 1940s. For away games, Merkel turns down the television and tunes in to his favorite radio broadcaster for sideline analysis. He said he had enjoyed Max every year for six decades. Everyone in the state knows him by his first name, Merkel said. "Legend is a hard word to know what it means." "Everyone realizes he's a warehouse of athletics knowledge," he said. Hank Booth, the public address announcer at men's basketball games, said he had known Max since he was a child and also had listened to Max for decades. "He's a legendary Kansas broadcaster," said Booth, whose family was influential in the development of radio in Lawrence. MAX FALKENSTIEN Former radio broadcaster SIGNING OFF In an arena where fans stand on their toes to watch long, lanky players enter the court — many near 7 feet tall — a 5-foot-8 man with snowy white hair, a blue sweater and khakis keeps his own trail of admirers. As Max makes his way to the sideline, students young enough to be his great-grandchildren stand up for Max, like one blue wave, sparked by the broadcaster's splash. He is the only 81-year-old who receives a standing ovation every time he steps on the court. Max will make that walk one last time in the fieldhouse on Wednesday. When he leaves, he will take his signature broadcast delivery with him. Radio speakers will no longer carry his balanced analysis and lively, articulate, baritone voice. He calls his 60th season a "good place to stop." Where will Max go after the last buzzer sounds? If he had his choice of all the places he has called away games, he'd head for Hawaii. "Maui's my favorite, hands down," he said. He appreciated the history of Madison Square Garden and said, laughing, "The Alaska shootout was interesting, but I don't recommend anyone take a trip there for Thanksgiving." Max will not disappear completely from the Jayhawk nation. He will join the Athletics Department after retiring from broadcasting, working directly for Perkins on special assignments. But Jayhawk fans need not worry. The man they've known simply as Max for 60 years will not disappear into the phog. "I'll be around," he said. 62 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 110 YEARS OF KANSAS BASKETBALL BOSSIER NISSAN SUBARU Come in for Slam Dunking Good Deals.
