spring break kits and self-defense classes to help students stay healthy and avoid accidents on their trips.
She said the most common injuries stemmed from the use of alcohol or drugs, which could lead to risky behavior, fist fights or unwanted sexual encounters.
Ken Sarber, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center, said students could start to prepare for their vacations by scheduling

During the consultation, Sarber said students would meet with a doctor or nurse to set up a travel plan and discuss how to deal with things like
Travax Reports, issued by the Department of State, document the viruses present in a country as well as the prevalence of robbery and assault. The reports also indicate whether it is safe to drink the water, use public transportation, withdraw money from ATMs or walk on the beach without sandals.
Sarber said Student Health Services would also provide "safe spring break" kits on campus on March 10, 12 and 13.
Angela Oliver, assistant director of the Student Involvement Leadership Center, said self-defense workshops offered at the Student Recreation Fitness Center would also be useful for female students who plan to travel during spring break.
The kits will include sunscreen, condoms and information about alcohol consumption.
Oliver said the workshops would be free for female students and would include tips

Cat survives tornado, fire;
vet predicts recovery
CLINTON, Ark. — Charlie Brown is down to seven lives.
Donna and Danny Pistole's black-and-white cat survived a February tornado that destroyed the family's mobile home, coming out of nearby woods skittish but no worse for wear. However, the cat took up refuge in a large pile of debris from the storm that the Pistoles set afire last Sunday while cleaning up their property.
Thursday, Donna Pistole followed Charlie Brown's weak meows
and found him stuck in briars. His paws and nose were scorched, his eyes matted shut and his coat singed a dingy yellow — but he was alive.
That night, Charlie Brown underwent an exam by veterinarian Doug Mays.
"He smells like an old, scorched wool blanket," Mays said. "His feet pads are peeling off. But they'll heal. I think he'll be OK."
The Pistoles sought shelter in a storm cellar during the tornado. Donna Pistole took one of their cats, Bubby, but couldn't find Charlie Brown and fellow feline Sanbo.
Sheriff's detectives in Franklin County, Wash., say a man had his friend shoot him in the shoulder so he wouldn't have to go to work
PASCO, Wash. — What happened to faking a cough?
Sanbo is still missing.
"I think the storm got him because we haven't seen him since the storm," Danny Pistole said. "Two's enough, I guess."
Man wants to skip work, tells friend to shoot him
shooting while he was jogging Thursday. But detectives told KONA radio that Kuch later acknowledged that he asked his friend to shoot him so he could get some time off work and avoid a drug test.
When he first spoke with deputies, Daniel Kuch told him he'd been the victim of a drive-by
The friend has been arrested for investigation of reckless endangerment. Kuch is expected to be charged with false reporting.
Detectives declined to say where Kuch worked or if he still had a job.

Meet your Student Senator with Duy Pham, Asian-American Student Union
BY ALEXANDRA GARRY agarry@kansan.com
This is a good time of year for Duy Pham. This is because Pham, Asian-American Student Union (AASU) senator, loves politics. With the presidential election race in full swing and campus campaigns just heating up, now is an exciting time for people with Pham's interests.
"Politics has always fascinated me," Pham said. "I was studying to be a pharmacist, but I switched quickly to political science after coming to KU."
Pham was born in Vietnam and immigrated to Wichita in 1996. After coming to the University last year, he got involved with AASU, fell deeply in love with political science
and ran for his current Senate seat to combine the two. He described his Senate position as fairly low-key, primarily acting as a liaison between the two groups.
"Mainly, I vote on things," he said. "I keep my group's interests in mind. I will ask AASU what's going on with them and tell them what's going on with Senate and politics in general."
Rachel Balzer, program assistant in the Multicultural Affairs Office and adviser for AASU, said Pham's strength as a senator is not just his interest in politics, but his ability to effectively communicate with his constituents.
"He is always very clear and efficient when talking with people," Balzer said. "He's a natural fit for
the job."
In his term as senator, Pham wrote legislation to fund the Vietnamese Student Association and sponsored a bill requiring any structure built on campus to have an environmental certification if it is to receive Senate funds.
Pham also tutors through the Multicultural Resource Center, which opened earlier this year, in part sponsored by Senate.
"Student Senate has always been supportive of diversity issues on campus," Pham said.
"One of the great things about KU," he said, "is its diverse community and the fact that race is not a divisive issue for the majority of students."
Pham said he was interested
in getting students involved with campus politics and aware of the broader issues.
"The Asian-American community makes up about 4 percent of the American population," he said. "That may not seem like a lot, but I think in tight races we can definitely be the swing vote, so I think Asian-Americans should be very interested in politics."
But it's not only Asian-Americans who should be willing to discuss politics, he said.
"It might be a controversial issue - politics is never the easiest thing to talk about - but it's important" he said. "You don't have to be a political junkie. Just know enough to be involved."

Coalition to address spending
Adam Wood, president of Students of Liberty, wants to address spending by the University and Senate. Wood has never served as student senator at the University.
BY BRENAHAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com
A new Student Senate coalition started last week with the main goal of addressing financial issues at the University of Kansas, Students of Liberty came from a split in the Ron Paul Meet-up group, while the other part of the group went to campaign for local candidates.
Adam Wood, Lawrence junior and Students of Liberty presidential candidate, said he wanted to campaign to get involved in local politics.
Although he has never been a student senator at the University, Wood was convinced his inexperience would not be a roadblock.
"If you work at it, you can figure it out," Wood said.
Wood said he had a problem with the way people in the country spent their money and did not conserve it, and said Student Senate was also affected by that problem.
Student Senate has about an $18 million budget, much of which comes from the fees students pay each semester. Wood said he would like to overhaul the campus required fees and cut back as much as possible.
"I don't go to the Student Recreation Fitness Center, so I don't want to pay for it." Wood said.
Wood said he thought Senate would operate better with less money because they would be forced to be efficient with their funds and he would act as a watchdog for overspending.
Eric Hyde, Lawrence sophomore and vice presidential candidate, said he and Wood had been thinking about starting a coalition since last fall.
He said Senate has increased its budget every year, but when Hyde went to Senate with a bill to fund a Greensburg relief project, he was denied funds.
Hyde said he also thought the greeks had been in power for too long and they always had the money to back up their campaigns.
"We want to show them we can get things done with less money," Hyde said.
Colin Barnes, Overland Park sophomore, will design the coalition's Web site and run for a regular Senate seat. He said he had an extensive background in economics, so he would look closely at Senate's and the University's budgets. He said he wanted to increase transparency in both budgets so students could see where their money was going.
Barnes said the problem with the current coalitions was that they didn't start with a platform so they
"There is too much of the same people getting into the same positions in Senate," Barnes said.
had no real reason to be together as a group with common ideas.
Wood said the group, which had about 10 students, didn't have the money to make T-shirts or buttons like the other coalitions did, and said it might hurt his chances. He said they would set a table in front of Wescoe Hall and promote their group and also put up flyers around campus. Barnes said the Web site would not be up for about another week.
NATIONAL Ship dedicated in honor of Sept. 11 attacks
AVONDALE, La. — The USS New York, an amphibious assault ship built with scrap steel from the ruins of the World Trade Center, was christened Saturday as a source of strength and inspiration for the nation.
Thousands of people, including friends and families of those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, gathered near the hulking gray ship, trimmed in red, white and blue banners.
The bow stem, which contains 7.5 tons of steel from the site, bore a shield with two gray bars to symbolize the twin towers and a banner over that declaring "Never Forget," a slogan among New Yorkers.
Story after story of lives lost in, and touched by, the attacks peppered the ceremony, held under the blazing sun and broadcast on large screens. It all brought back painful memories for New York Police Lt. Matt Murphy. But the reason for his being here, though, was a source of pride, he said.
"I tell you, it's a fantastic day. Sometimes you think you're over something," he said, his eyes welling up as he looked off toward the ship, "and then you realize you're not completely."
INTERNATIONAL Bush defends military presence in Iraq, won't promise withdrawals
CRAWFORD, Texas President Bush declined Saturday to promise more U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq before he leaves office, and underscored the need for a strong military presence during Iraqi provincial elections in October.
Security has improved markedly since last summer when the last of five Army brigades arrived in Iraq to complete the president's buildup of 30,000 troops. One brigade has already returned home and the four others are to leave by July. What remains unclear is whether Bush will order
"There is going to be enormous speculation," he said. "My sole criterion is, whatever we do, it ought to be in the context of success."
additional drawdowns in the final months of his presidency.
The president spoke at his Texas ranch where he hosted Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen for talks about NATO's complex mission in Afghanistan, climate change, Iran and other trans-Antlantic issues. They took time, though, for a two mountain bike rides at the dusty ranch at sunset Friday and again at sunrise Saturday.
Israeli troops cause 54 Palestinian deaths; some call killings a 'genocide'
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli troops turned heavy firepower on rocket squads bombarding southern Israel Saturday, killing 54 Palestinians in the deadliest day in Gaza since the current round of fighting erupted in 2000.
Two Israeli soldiers were killed and seven were wounded in the clashes, the military said.
The violence took a heavy toll on Gaza civilians. Moderate Palestinian leaders called the killings a "genocide" and threatened to call off peace talks.
"The response to these rockets can't be that harsh and heinous," said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. "It is nowadays described as a holocaust."
The spasm of violence came days before Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was to arrive in the region to nudge Israel and Palestinians closer to a peace accord. But the rising tensions threatened to mar her visit.
PRESIDENTIAL In days before Tuesday's primaries, Clinton downplays Obama's experience SAN ANTONIO — Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton turned her attention Saturday to the mechanics of delivering voters to the polls in a round of primaries Tuesday that could hold the key to the future of
her presidential ambitions.
Clinton also sharpened her criticism of rival Barack Obama, hoping to give her backers a jolt of energy.
"His entire campaign is based on a speech he gave at an antiwar rally in 2002," Clinton told reporters aboard her campaign plane as she flew between events in San Antonio and Fort Worth, Texas. "The speech was not followed up by action, which is part of a pattern that we have seen repeatedly."
It was the second day she has made national security the focus of her closing argument to voters, seeking to portray Obama as inexperienced and untested.
Obama fired back at rally in Providence, R.I., telling supporters: "Real change isn't voting for George Bush's war in Iraq and then telling the American people it was actually a vote for more diplomacy when you start running for president."
McCain claims NAFTA re-negotiations would hurt Canada relations
ROUND ROCK, Texas — Republican John McCain said the desire by Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement would jeopardize crucial military support from Canada.
McCain used a town-hall style meeting Friday at Dell Inc. headquarters to emphasize his support for NAFTA.The effects of the 1994 trade pact are still hotly debated, but studies indicate the deal has resulted in record exports from Texas to Canada and Mexico.
Trade and national security are "interconnected with each other," the Arizona senator said.
"One of our greatest assets in Afghanistan are our Canadian friends. We need our Canadian friends, and we need their continued support in Afghanistan," McCain said. Canada has 2,500 troops serving in Afghanistan along with 29,000 U.S. soldiers,

NATION Fans reminisce, get excited as Plaza Hotel reopens
NEW YORK — Hundreds of New Yorkers and tourists alike flocked to the Plaza Hotel on Saturday for the landmark's reopening after a three-year, $400 million renovation.
"They say this place is the world's most famous hotel," said doorman Freddy Davila, who worked for the hotel for 15 years until it closed in 2005. "It's wonderful to be back," he said as he wel- comeed visitors up the red-carpeted steps.
"We just had to see inside," said Owen Mathieu, visiting from Marblehead, Mass. "We've seen it in the movies. Everybody's heard of it."
Associated Press
The Plaza, a National Historic Landmark overlooking Central Park, first opened in 1907. Marilyn Monroe was photographed here, and guests included the Beatles and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Gale Sayers visits the Kansas Union
Former Jayhawk and NFL player signs copies of his book for students, fans
BY LUKE MORRIS
Imorris@kansan.com
CAMPUS
Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN
Fans of all ages came to the Kansas Union to meet Kansas football legend and National Football League Hall-of-Famer Gale Sayers on Saturday afternoon. Sayers signed his new book "Sayers: My Life and Times" at Oread Books.
"It was great that he was so personal. I've been through book signings before where they don't even look up at you, but he's a very personable guy', said Schipfmann, who like a few other fans, wore a replica of Sayers' No. 40 Chicago Bears jersey to the event.
40
Carlene Schipfmann, a Kansas alumna from Lenaea, said that it was a wonderful experience to meet the "Kansas Comet."
Sayers, the two-time All-American running back, played at Kansas before joining the Chicago Bears. He went on to become the youngest inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He also served as an associate athletics director at Kansas before serving as athletics director for Southern Illinois University.
Gale Sayers, former KU football player and NFL hall of famer, signs copies of his new book at Oread Books in the Kansas Union on Saturday. "The line was constant for about three hours," said Lisa Eitner, general book buyer for Oread Books. Sayers' book sales will help fund the Gayle Sayers Center in Mount Prospect, III, which opens in the fall.
"The line was constant for about three hours," said Lisa Eitner, general book buyer for Oread Books, on Level 2 of the Union. "KU fans are always like this with KU sports figures. They're very excited to meet them and get a photo with them."
Several University students from the Chicago area came to meet Sayers. James Buddig, Hinsdale, Ill., sophomore said meeting Sayers was awesome and unforgettable.
"I'm a big fan because he went to KU and played for the Bears," Buddig said. "My dad had met him once before, and my friend met Mike Ditka before for a signing like this, so I had to one-up them."
Eitner said that the store sold more than 350 copies of Sayers' new book that day. The store will donate a portion of its sales from Saturday to the Gale Sayers Center, an educational center for children ages 8 to 12 in Mount Prospect, Ill., that will open in the fall. Sayers is also donating all of his royalties from the book to the center.
Schipfmann said that she admired Sayers' commitment to community and that she wasn't surprised he would donate his royalties from the book.
Some of the older fans in attendance relived memories of watching Sayers' playing days. Steve Kovinski, Schipfmann's father, recalled the day he watched Sayers return a 96-yard kickoff for a touchdown in Wrigley Field in Chicago in 1966.
"He always seemed open in interviews that I've seen and read," Kovinski said. "If there was an example to follow, I'd say he would be it."
Fans who missed the event may have another chance to meet Sayers in the fall.
"He offered to come back again, so we're thinking about possibly doing another book signing around the start of football season," Eitner said.

"What precise foreign-policy experience is she claiming that makes her qualified to answer that telephone call at 3 a.m. in the morning?" Obama asked of the former first lady at a town-hall meeting. It was a reference to dueling television ads over who would exercise superior judgment in responding to a national emergency in the middle of the night.

Fans, campers ignite excitement for ESPN's "GameDay"
Students, guests find ways to entertain themselves night before Saturday's game, impress hosts of TV show
BY LUKE MORRIS
Imorris@kansan.com
The excitement for ESPN's "College GameDay" program started long before the doors to Allen Fieldhouse opened at 8 a.m. Saturday. Some bared the elements — and the skunks — when they camped outside the doors Friday night.
"I put all the camping stuff in my car and came here" Stanley said.
The first fans showed up around 7 p.m. Friday. Andrew Stanley, Overland Park junior, came prepared for the night.
Another member of Stanley's group borrowed a tent from the
Student Fitness and Recreation Center for the night.
The campers found ways to make the night interesting. They ate pizza, watched DVDs and played games.
"We found an unused outlet outside, so I went back to my place and got a projector, a DVD player and a Nintendo 64, hooked them up and projected it on the parking garage," Stanley said. "We watched 'The Office' and played 'GoldenEye' for a while."
"There was a skunk that came over," Stanley said. "Some people

A few other groups joined Stanley's group of 20 fans for camping that night. Their efforts paid off in the morning. The campers had prime seats for the show, right behind the hosts' desk.
The next morning, fans slowly started showing up an hour before the doors opened. Some fans grumbled about the small size of the crowd, but by the time that the "College GameDay" crew started filming a few pieces for SportsCenter at about 9 a.m., fans had filled the east side of the fieldhouse and screamed as loud as possible.
"It was ten times louder than last year," said Brock Templeman, an Overland Park freshman.

Digger Phelps, one of the show's hosts, served as the emcee before the show and between shots. He kept the crowd in a frenzy and pumped them up before the cameras started rolling.
"You were so good that we had to repeat. We came back because you're the best 'College GameDay' crowd in four years". Phelps told the crowd before the first shot of the day.
Phelps' efforts to excite the crowd included striking up the KU pep band and dancing with one of the Rock Chalk Dancers.
The crowd also got boosts of energy when segments featured

Sophomore guard Sherron Collins also stirred the crowd when he emerged from the locker room to take a peek at the
crowd during a commercial break.
Stanley and Templeman agreed that "College GameDay" was worth their time.
"Its great being right in the front row of the greatest atmosphere in the world. Being here for the payback and going nuts and intimidating the Wildcats is awesome." Stanley said.
The "College GameDay" crowd may have been loud, but it didn't come close to the noise during Kansas' victory against Kansas State later that night.

HEALTH
Group provides sleep hygiene tips Student Health Services perks up awareness on campus
BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com
Healthy sleep often falls by the wayside in the lives of many college students.
To tackle this and other sleep-related health issues on campus, Student Health Services is sponsoring Sleep Awareness Week at the University of Kansas Monday through Thursday.
Homework, jobs, stress and a social life make it difficult to attain the eight hours of sleep per night recommended by the National Sleep Foundation.
Kara Boston, Shabbona, Ill., senior and coordinator of Sleep Awareness Week, said information would be available to students at tables on campus throughout the week.
Sleep deprivation, drowsy driving and strategies for better sleep were among the topics Boston said would be covered.
"For college students, you want to be social and do well in school," Boston said. "Sleep is just as important. It really affects your life full circle."
Carole Guillaume, a physician at
Watkins Memorial Health Center certified in family and sleep medicine, said college students had developed many unhealthy sleep habits, or what she called bad sleep hygiene.
That includes taking naps during the day, maintaining an inconsistent sleep schedule and using the bedroom to do homework or play video games rather than dedicating it to sleep.
To improve sleep habits, Guillaume said students could remember to avoid certain things before bedtime, like caffeine, nicotine, exercise and alcohol.
Guillaume said nicotine and exercising a few hours before bedtime could have a similar effect. She also said alcohol caused a jolt of adrenaline once it wore off, keeping a person awake for much of the night.
info table times
According to ETR Associates, a health education company, drinking caffeine three to six hours before bedtime can double the amount of time it takes to fall asleep.

Guillaume said the best way to improve sleep hygiene was for students to make sleep a priority by managing their time during the day to allow for a consistent bedtime.
"Make sleep something enjoyable to do," she said. "You will have more energy, more vitality and do better in any activity you pursue."
Students with specific questions about sleeping habits or disorders can get the contact information of sleep specialists on campus at the Sleep Awareness Week information tables.

Suicide bomber causes 40 deaths
MIDDLE EAST
PALITA
BY RIAZ KHAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A bomber blew himself up Sunday among thousands of tribal members discussing resistance to al-Qaida and the Taliban, killing 40 people in the third suicide attack in as many days in northwestern Pakistan.
Five tribes were meeting to finalize a resolution that would punish anyone who shelters or helps Islamic militants, including al-Qaida and Taliban fighters, Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said.
Pakistani volunteers carry the body of a victim of a suicide bombing at a local hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan on Sunday. A suicide bomber blew himself up at a peace meeting of tribal elders, killing at least 40 people and injuring more than 100, witnesses and officials said.
The rash of suicide bombings show President Pervez Musharraf's weakening control of the region despite the deployment of thousands of troops to crush Islamic militants.
A young man walked up to a group of elders and detonated his explosives, said Alam Khan, a tribesman at the meeting in Darra Adam Khel, a town in North West Frontier Province about 25 miles south of the provincial capital, Peshawar.
"It was a huge explosion and left body parts and blood scattered"
on the ground," said Ramin Khan, another participant whose left leg and face were injured. He and others hurt in the attack were brought to a hospital in Peshawar.
Dr. Hamid Afridy, the area's chief medical officer, said he counted 40 bodies and more than 100 injured were sent to the hospital. He said many were in critical condition and feared the death toll could rise.
Television footage showed blood.
shoes and caps littering the bombing site — a tree-lined ground surrounded by wheat fields and only yards away from brick homes.
Musharraf called the bombing an attempt to sabotage tribal efforts to rid the region of militant influence and reiterated the government's "resolve and commitment" in the fight against terrorism.

Venezuelan president retaliates
BY IAN JAMES ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela President Hugo Chavez ordered Venezuela's embassy in Colombia closed and sent thousands of troops to the countries' border Sunday after Colombia's military killed a top repel leader.
The leftist leader warned that Colombia's slaying of rebel commander Raul Reyes could spark a war in South America and the angry rhetoric sent relations between the nations to their lowest point in Chavez's nine-year presidency.
In this picture released by the Miraflores Palace Press Office, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez speaks during a Cabinet Minister's session in Caracas Saturday. Chavez warned his Colombian counterpart that war would break out between the South American neighbors if Colombia's military crossed into Venezuelan territory, railing against Colombian forces for entering Ecuadoran territory on a Saturday raid that killed a senior commander of Colombia's largest guerrilla group.
Chavez, a fierce critic of Washington, called the U.S.-allied government in Bogota "a terrorist state" and labeled President Alvaro Uribe "a criminal."
Speaking on his weekly TV and radio program, Chavez told his defense minister: "move 10 battalions to the border with Colombia for me, immediately." He ordered the Venezuelan Embassy in Bogota closed and said all embassy personnel would be withdrawn.
Chavez condemned Colombia's slaying of Reyes and 16 other guerrillas on Saturday, saying they were killed while they slept in a camp across the border in Ecuadorean territory. He said Colombia "invaded Ecuador, flagrantly violated Ecuador's sovereignty."
"It wasn't any combat. It was a cowardly murder, all of it coldly calculated," Chavez said.
"We pay tribute to a true revolutionary, who was Raul Reyes," Chavez said, recalling that he had met rebel in Brazil in 1995 and calling him a "good revolutionary."
"The Colombian government has become the Israel of Latin America," an agitated Chavez said, mentioning another country that
Chavez said he had just spoken to Ecuadororean President Rafael Correa and that Ecuador was also sending troops to its border with Colombia.
he has criticized for its military strikes. "We aren't going to permit Colombia to become the Israel of these lands."
Chavez accused Uribe of being a puppet of Washington and acting on behalf of the U.S. government, saying "Dracula's fangs (are) are covered in blood."
"Some day Colombia will be freed from the hand of the (U.S.) empire," Chavez said. "We have to liberate Colombia," he added, saying Colombia's people will eventually do away with its government.
The U.S. State Department had no immediate reaction to Chavez's comments
Chavez maintains warm relations with the Colombia's largest guerrilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, and has sought to play a role as mediator in the conflict despite his growing conflict with Colombia's government.
Chavez's government called the
Colombian military attack a setback in efforts to negotiate a swap of rebel-held hostages for imprisoned guerrillas.
Nevertheless, the FARC freed four hostages to Venezuelan officials last week, and they were reunited with their families in Caracas. It was the second unilateral release by the FARC this year.
Colombia and Venezuela have been locked in a diplomatic crisis since November, when Uribe ended Chavez's official role negotiating a proposed hostages-for-prisoners swap.
Chavez has recently angered Uribe by urging world leaders to classify the leftist rebels as "insurgents" rather than "terrorists."
The FARC has proposed trading some 40 remaining high-value captives, including former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt and three U.S. defense contractors, for hundreds of imprisoned guerrillas.

deplored the conditions under which young offenders are housed — conditions that include sexual and physical abuse and even deaths in restraints. The U.S.Justice Department has filed lawsuits against facilities in 11 states for supervision that is either abusive or harmfully lax and shoddy.

Boy accused of murdering his family
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — A teenage boy is accused of fatally shooting his mother and her two little girls, one of whom was the 4-year-old daughter of rap star juvenile.
Anthony Tyrone Terrell Ir., 17, was charged Friday with murder in the deaths at the family home near Lawrenceville, where the bodies were found the night before, said police spokeswoman Illana Spellman.
She identified the victims as Gwinnett County Sheriff's Deputy Joy Deleston, 39, and her two daughters, Micaia, 11, and Jelani. 4. The motive was still unclear.

Terrell was taken to jail in neighboring DeKalb County to avoid any potential conflict because Deleston worked for Gwinnett County, Spellman said. He is being held without bail.
Because of his age, prosecutors cannot seek the death penalty against Terrell. A preliminary hearing will be set next week in Gwinnett County Superior Court, said prosecutor Danny Porter.

Authorities on Friday found the gun used, going by information provided by Terrell. Spellman said she could not confirm whether Deleston's service weapon was used.
Police had gone to the subdivision because a caller reported shots fired, Officer David Schiralli said earlier. They found a bullet hole in a house, then checked next door. "There was no answer, but lights were on," Schirali said. "They opened the door a little bit to announce themselves," then discovered the bodies, he said.
Deleston, a seven-year member of the department, had been assigned to the sex offender unit, officials said.

Mydeathspace.com is a Web site dedicated to collecting the Mypace sites of people who have died. It also links news stories and obituaries of the person's death if it was newsworthy enough. The site's purpose is for people to pay their respects by leaving notes in each site's comments area.
Having a Myspace means your life is an open book — even when you're six feet under. Now, people can still look at the skeletons in your Myspace closet.
Mike Patterson, the creator of the site, said in an interview with The New Tribune, that he started the site "to show that teens aren't invincible and that the consequences for not using their heads don't just affect themselves, but friends and family members as well."
Teens aren't the only people featured in the site, though. At a random viewing, there was a 39-year-old, a 49-year-old, a 34-year-old and countless others in their mid- to upper-thirties.
The deaths are almost all of "newsworthy" traits. Suicides, freak accidents and car accidents are a dime a dozen. I wonder if being morbidly fascinated about a stranger's death is making a difference in the world.
A map of the U.S. is also on the site and shows the most recent deaths around the country. How convenient.
Map showing the most recent members of mydeathspace.com
Thankfully, the Web site has proved there is still some humanity left in the world. Patterson receives 75 percent hate mail and 25 percent fan mail. I hope by the time the site suffers its own demise, hate mail is at least in the 90th percentile.

by the first amendment in his crusade of warning young adults. If Patterson is protected in expressing his opinion about displaying to the world certain people's deaths, shouldn't the user who posted the "Teen dies..." comment also be protected?
The site can be a tool for expressing words that weren't expressed on the physical earth. The comments, though, can be filled with love or filled with hate. One comment from one user said, "Teen dies while trying to revive a cellphone ... I just had to laugh out loud."
Patterson says he is protected
No, it was removed from the site. Not before, I'm sure, thousands of other visitors viewed the comment.
I guess it's at Patterson's discretion to decide what's appropriate in the cyber world.
I'll leave you with a comment that one user said about a man who died while taking part in a cupcake eating competition. "I shall cringe in advance for offending anyone. Millions of fat girls a year can do this, but one drunk man chokes and dies? How the hell? How dense were the cuppycakes? Thick icing? I mean come on, it's cake. Even children on their first birthday can handle a huge mouthful. So sorry for the family though."
The user said he did feel sorry for the family, but he also injected some humor into his comment.
Worth removal on the site? Check out *mydeathspace.com* and decide
for yourself. And think about if you died in an accident, would you want to be compared to "millions of fat girls" by a stranger?
I didn't think so.

COMMENTARY
Summer music festivals not solely for hazy-eyed
JAKE LERMAN
A marmot with an attitude may have declared that winter is here to stay, but I can smell spring just around the corner. The coming thaw and the budding trees can only mean one thing.
Festival season is on its way!
The overpowering aromas of unshaven armpits and well-trodden grass are already flooding my nostrils.
For those still a bit wary of the otherworldly experience that is festival life, this may be the year to
broaden your musical horizons.
Discovery is half of the fun of these events, not only in a musical sense but the pilgrimage to the festival grounds can be an experience in itself.
Music festivals do just that, they allow you to see the bands that you love and expose yourself to new acts that may just melt your metaphorical face off.
A road trip, however far, provides a rare opportunity to see all the great land that's in between point A and point B that so often gets overlooked as our crotches are checked for weaponry in airport security lines.
There are many who still think that festival-goers are solely composed of barefoot hippies and lotseaters.
The festival crowd has grown
This is a fallacy.
Then of course there are the more well known events like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Coachella, which offer some of the big name head liners. Not to mention a new breed of festivals that have sprung up with some surprisingly great line-ups.
Nowadays, there is a festival for almost anyone. For example, Jewlicious Festival 4.0, described as "a mind-expanding Jewish culture fun fest." Or if you're a bit less secular how about Tubeapaloozza Music and Sled festival in Callc, Idaho?
increasingly diverse as the years have passed and you are liable to find any type of person you can imagine baking in the summertime sun.
Take the All Points West Fest in New York City for example, which is being headlined by Radiohead for an unprecedented two days.
Far and wide, big and small, you name it. We have festivals galore.
Of all the Festivals I have mentioned there is one you should care about more than any.
The Wakarusa music and camping festival takes place in our very own town and boasts one of the most impressive lineups year after year.
By going to this event you're not only supporting a piece of Kansas culture — you may just see a side of Lawrence you never knew existed.
This summer they top it off with The Flaming Lips and Cake, along with a host of other great acts.
Before you write-off the festival scene as a just a romp in the woods for hazy-eyed strangers check again, you may just find the festival that was meant for you.

Q&A with Rece Davis
"College GameDay" host Rece Davis took some time to do an interview with The University Daily Kansan reporter Luke Morris. Here are some of the highlights from the interview.
Morris: Has the show become routine or is it still exciting for you?
Davis: Look, if you don't feel the adrenaline start to pump when you walk out in front of great crowds like
we have here in Kansas; you should be doing something else. I still feel that every week. Every week it's still a kick and a real jolt of energy when you walk out in front of the crowd and have them all excited to have the show here and excited about college basketball, the game and their team.
Morris: How early do you have to start preparing for the show on Saturday mornings?
Davis: It's Jay's job to make sure there's a Starbucks on the way because the first thing Digger's going to say in the morning is "Starbucks." We'll hit a Starbucks on the way in.
We'll probably meet at 6:30 or 6:45 in the lobby, hit Starbucks and wind up here to start getting ready for the show. I'll do a lot of work on the show tonight. By the time I wake up

Davis: Just a big cup of coffee, and that's it. That'll get me through the show. Then I've gotta go to that Wheel place and get me one of those Wang Burgers.
in the morning, I'll be ready for the show. It'll just be last minute prepping, tweaking and discussing tomorrow.
Morris: Is there a lot of chemis-
you go into that trailler. Nobody gets a break in that trailer. We all stick it to each other pretty good. It's not a place for the faint of heart or the thin of skin.
Morris: So do you mention Digger's loss to Dayton when he mentions that he knocked off seven No.1 teams?
Davis: Yes or my personal favorite to remind him of is Arkansas-Little Rock. I've forgotten, it was either '86 or '87 in a 3 vs. 14 NCAA tournament game. Digger goes down to the Trojans of Arkansas Little-Rock.
Morris: A lot of people comment

Drunk driving victim regains voice but not quality life
HUTCHINSON — A woman who began speaking 17 years after being hit by a drunken driver "still doesn't have her life back," her mother said.
Betsy Scantilin spoke last week about her daughter, Sarah, who regained her ability to speak in 2005, 17 years after suffering brain injuries when a drunken driver hit her as she was walking across a street in Hutchinson.
A young man asked Scantlin
"She can answer us and she can make statements, but she has never asked a question," Scantlin told a meeting of the Reno County DUI Impact Panel. "It's not what you would call a conversation, and I miss that. I wish I could say that it's OK now that she's talking, but all I can say is, she's talking. She doesn't have her life back. She'll never have her life back."
what happened to the person who hit Sarah just after she turned 18 years old.
"He got the maximum sentence at the time," Scantil answered. "But he doesn't remember hitting Sarah. I asked him once if he felt bad, and he said he did, but that he doesn't remember it. That is a real hard statement for me"
The impact panel was formed in 1992 to help spread information about the effects of drunken driving on families of wreck victims. It targets people on probation or going through the diversion process after being charged with drunken driving.
It also seeks to educate minors who have been charged with illegal consumption or with other alcohol and drug-related offenses.
"Our message is real simple," said Kansas Highway Patrol Capt. Alan Stoeckle "If you drink, don't drive, and here is why."

Jayhawks back on track after Wildcat victory
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
When practice ended on Friday, the players walked off the floor thinking it was one of their best of the season.
Then. Bill Self brought out a video. Movie time. Except, the players hadn't been anticipating this blockbuster. The feature presentation included all the negative images from the first half of Kansas' January game against Kansas State.
"Everybody got mad." Robinson said. "We said to each other that we have to go out there with all the energy"
Brandon Rush saw a lack of pressure. Russell Robinson saw how much harder K-State's guards played. If the lingering memories of K-State's Jacob Pullen, Clent Stewart and Bill Walker doing whatever they wanted against them weren't enough, this tape pushed the guards over the edge.
And they did on Saturday night. Kansas (26-3, 11-3) defeated Kansas State 88-74 at Allen Fieldhouse, running away with the game in the first few minutes. The victory alleviated the woes the Jayhawks had been feeling from their first matchup with the Wildcats, put them into a tie with Texas for first place in the league and showed just how good they could play when they bring enough energy.
"They handled us at Bramlage." Self said. "Tonight, we were the aggressor and handled them."
The layhawks forced four turnovers and two jump balls in the first five minutes. On the second one, Stewart and Sasha Kaun dove into a scuffle near the free-throw line for several seconds. Stewart got up scowling. Bill Walker got up limping. Kansas didn't back away from anything all night.
32
12
The initial burst of energy gave the Jayhawks a 21-point lead by the nine-minute mark. By halftime, Kansas had 10 steals and forced 14 turnovers. Stewart, Walker and Pullen - three players who toasted the Jayhawks in January - made a total of three field goals and turned the ball over seven times. It also helped that Walker and Michael Beasley got into early foul trouble.
When Beasley got back in, the Jayhawks were too far ahead and too focused to let his 39 points make a difference.
"They had us on our heels," K-State coach Frank Martin said. "When you get a team on its heels, that team is always trying to recover rather than fight back, and that's the phase they had us in all night."
pretty dang good. Rush shot three-point daggers. Darnell jackson and Darrell Arthur got the ball inside. Sherron Collins barked orders for his team and scuffled with Darren Kent. Five players scored in double figures.
Amidst all the balance, Collins and Rush stood out. Both have dealt with injuries this season, and both had their best games since sustaining those setbacks.
Aside from intensity, Kansas was just
Collins barely played at the Oklahoma State game after sitting out the entire week of practice. Against Iowa State, Self called Collins a shell of his former self. Saturday night, he collected four steals, beat everyone down the court for layups and scored in traffic.
The running, jumping Collins could be returning for good, too, in place of the hobbling, limping one that Kansas fans have seen too often this season. Team doctors have said that Collins' knee bruise should heal soon, and when it does, he'll be pain free.
Rush's injury hasn't lingered like Collins', but he hadn't put together a great performance since his May ACL tear. Rush shot brilliantly and defended well for stretches but never pieced together a complete game. He finally did on Saturday scoring 21 and staying aggressive for all 40 minutes in front of a small army of NBA scouts there to watch Beasley.
"Every game," Rush said. "I go out and play where my heart is... Tonight, I think I proved a little point."
on Goering/KANSAN
"Guys just had more energy." Self said. "We played with a swagger tonight."
After the Iowa State game, Self made it clear that his team played better than it had in weeks. Still, he called the improvement a start.
So, did Saturday's game mark the true turning point? Is it the sure sign that Kansas is back to playing the way it was in December, when fans salivated, bracketologists penciled the Jayhawks in as a guaranteed No. 1 seed and players lived in a dream world where a perfect season was the hottest tonic?
There's still a long way to go, but if Kansas can maintain the passion that it played with on Saturday night, a promising future seems likely
Senior forward Darnell Jackson gathers a rebound over sophomore forward Darrell Arthur and slams it down for two during the second half of Saturday's game against Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 88-74. Jackson finished with 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting, one of five Hawks who scored in double figures.
"I told them," Self said, "You'll play even harder on Monday."

lowa State beats Kansas Poor play leads to 51-42 loss
Not playing hard for the entire 40 minutes of a game has been one of several problems for Kansas lately. Saturday afternoon it went a step further as the Jayhawks key lapses were measured in seconds rather than minutes.
BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com
Several times in the second half, Iowa State either made a shot or got fouled with just one second remaining on the shot clock. The last of those came in the waning minutes of the game and served as backbreaking plays in a 51-42 Cyclone victory.

Seniors play final game at fieldhouse
Three years ago, Simien talked deep into the night. It was almost never-ending.
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kapsa.com
Five seniors - Russell Robinson, Jackson, Sasha Kaun, Rodrick Stewart and Jeremy Case - will celebrate their last game in Allen Fieldhouse tonight at 8 against Texas Tech. Kaun, Robinson and Jackson were all members of Self's first recruiting class. Case redshirted a year, and Stewart transferred as a sophomore.
"I'm not going to go up there and talk for two hours," Jackson said. "I'll be sure to cut it short. I don't want the fans to fall asleep."
Darnell Jackson might get a little emotional when he gives his senior speech tonight, but he promises he won't pull a Wayne Simien.
mdent@kansan.com
Few KU senior classes compare to this one. The seniors have compiled a 107-23 record during the past four years. They've also won three Big 12 regular season titles and two Big 12 tournament championships.
Not bad achievements for a class that didn't even include a McDonald's All-American. Sure, Robinson was a top-40 recruit, and Jackson and Kaun weren't exactly slouches in high school, but in many ways, this group has over achieved.

COMMENTARY
Revenge empowers Jayhawks January's loss fades, March takes spotlight
BY CASE KEEFER
CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM
The telecast from Kansas' payback 88-74 victory Saturday won't be packaged into a collector's item, but it was a more important feat.
For starters, the bludgeoning proved the Jayhawks were still the superior team in the state and put them back on top of the Big 12 standings. But the victory signified more than that: It showed Kansas was again ready to play at the level that guided it to a 20-0 start to the season.
To commemorate its 84-75 victory against Kansas in January, Kansas State announced that it would release a two-disc DVD box set cloning the game and its ensuing celebration.
"Guys had energy, balance and played with a little bit of swagger," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
It's been a while since Self has been able to say that with any conviction. Kansas hasn't played like it did Saturday since, well, before the trip to Manhattan that ruined its undefeated aspirations.
In the following weeks, Self said that the Jayhawks started playing sluggishly because they were exhausted from trying to keep their run at perfection alive. But the team that played at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday looked anything but droway.
Junior guard Brandon Rush showed he could still take over games by scoring 21 points and hitting five three-pointers. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins proved he's recovered well from all of his bumps and bruises with lethal speed and 18 points.
"I think, overall, this was the best game our team played." Collins said.
If they can play with the same fervor they did against the Cats for the rest of the season, the Jayhawks are back to be a bona-fide national title contender. But the harsh reality is that not every game commands the intensity of a revenge-filled rivalry game or brings an entourage of ESPN personalities. It wasn't a coincidence that Kansas was as motivated to win this matchup as Barack Obama is to take the Texas primary.
The senior class finally presented a sense of urgency and combined for 33 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists.
Keeping it up is the hard part. Tonight's Big Monday showdown with Texas Tech gives Kansas the perfect opportunity to play satisfied and trip up before the end of the regular season. But Rush scoffed at that suggestion because he thought the Jayhawks were ready to take over.
Kansas just simply needed to beat Kansas State to take its season to the next level. The Jayhawks were like Patrick Swayze in "Ghost"—stuck in limbo until taking care of unfinished business.
Led by senior guard Russell Robinson's and Collins' four steals each, Kansas swiped the ball away 15 times. It was the second most this season, only less than an 18-steal outing against Yale. That number is specifically special to the Hawks because they are at their best when defensive pressure leads to easy fast break points.
It's possible. The Jayhawks used smothering defense to give Wildcat super freshman Michael Beasley an insignificant 39-point performance and frustrate his freshman sidekick, Bill Walker.
"It's going to be senior night Monday night," Rush said. "I don't think we're going to have a letdown."

The Jayhawks traveled to Carbondale, Ill., for the Southern Illinois Invitational tournament this past weekend. They faced off against Northwestern, Southern Illinois, Western Illinois and Bradley in the tournament. The Jayhawks went 3-1 to improve their overall record to 15-5

Dr. Jennifer A.

sophomore pitcher Lauren Delaney blanked the Jayhawks 2-0. The Hawks were only able to manage
one hit, a single by junior catcher Elle Pottorf. KU batters fanned nine times in the game. Freshman pitcher Allison Clark limited the Wildcats to two hits in seven innings, but a lack of offense lead to the loss.
Coach Tracy Bunge said she was pleased with the balance of the pitching staff, especially with sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelka unable to play this weekend.
The Jayhawks bounced back in the second game on Saturday against Southern Illinois. Junior pitcher Valerie George pitched her second shutout of the season to earn a 2-0 victory. Sophomore first baseman Amanda Jobe and freshman catcher Brittany Hile drove in the Jayhawks two runs. George struck out nine Salukis in a strong pitching performance.
"We needed a good performance from her until the offense got going and we got a couple of hits and scored some runs," Bunge said.
Bunge said she was extremely
pleased since Southern Illinois was a dangerous ball club.
The Jayhawks offense came out strong on Sunday. The Jayhawks started the day with an 8-6 victory over Western Illinois. Potterf and Clark hit home runs for Kansas, and junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley went three-for-four with an RBI and scored a run. Kansas jumped to an 8-1 lead through five innings, but Western Illinois rallied for five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to make it close. George relieved Clark in the sixth to preserve the victory and earn the save.
Bunge said she was very happy to see the offense perform on Sunday.
"We needed it," Bunge said. "We hadn't really clicked much on offense and it was really nice to see what we in both games today."
Bunge said she was pleased with the team's balance so far this season.

The Jayhawks completed the tournament with a 10-2 run-rule victory over Bradley. Kansas opened up the game with four runs in the first and added five in the bottom of the fifth to end the game. Jobe hit her fourth home run of the season and eight of nine starters collected a hit. Junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto and senior left fielder Betsy Wilson drove in two runs.
Bunge said some of the wins in the tournament this weekend would benefit the Jayhawks later in the season when it comes time for post-season play.
"Both the Southern Illinois game and the Bradley game are good region wins for us," Bunge said. "When it comes down to late in the season and post-season selection, those are the kinds of games that matter for us."

TIPOFF
Hawks try to grab last home victory against Red Raiders KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH, 8 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse, ESPN
AT AGLANCE
NOT AFRAID TO MESS WITH TEXAS
This is the night for all the seniors. Everyone will want to win extra badly for them, giving Texas Tech a small chance to spring an upset. Kansas played its best game in more than a month on Saturday, and the Jayhawks can build on it with another solid game tonight. The Red Raiders should've gotten their attention with a victory against Texas on Saturday, so expect another energetic performance.
WHO TO WATCH
Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard
Can Rush do it again? Can he put together two quality halves
PETER D. KENNEDY
Rush
Will starting all five seniors prevent Kansas from coming out with enough energy?
of scoring? The bet here is that yes he will, it's crunch time for Rush. He doesn't want to be back here next season and will likely leave for the NBA Draft no matter
where he is projected. Right now, his draft stock is plummeting, and he needs to perform at a much higher level during the next month if he wants to sneak back into the first round. Rush wants to win, and he wants to be a high draft pick. That's why his play is going to start improving.
QUESTION MARK
HEARYE, HEARYE
GAME DAY
The Jayhawks had one of their most intense outings of the year on Saturday. They played with fire from the opening tip. Rodrick Stewart, Jeremy Case and Sasha Kaun will all certainly play with energy tonight, but their early playing time could prevent Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers from coming out at a maximum energy level when they enter the game. Those players aren't used to coming off the bench and might not be ready for it. That said, Kansas has to start all its seniors. It's tradition.
"Our guys were obviously ready to play. February wasn't a great month for us.March has started out good."
"Quickness and energy are the biggest things. When we play good, it's because of the intangible, not what we run."
-Bill Self

"If you had asked me, I wouldn't even know he had an injury. He's been so patient about it."
Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard.
Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard A perfect game for Robinson on Saturday night. He distributed the ball, played defense and shot when he had open looks. Hard to believe this will be the last time fans will ever hear "New York, New York."

Jeremy Case, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Jeremy Case, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Case's career probably didn't turn out exactly the way he wanted it to. Maybe he'll have a solid performance in his last game at the fieldhouse.

Charlie Burges, 6-foot-1 senior guard The New York city native has started 15 games and is averaging 5.3 points per game.
When Jackson got into foul trouble early on Saturday, Kaun picked up the slack by scoring and rebounding. He's turned into a quality backup post player.

Stewart played good defense and hustled for loose balls against Kansas State on Saturday. He still has an opportunity to be a difference-maker in the postseason.

Alan Voskuil, 6-foot-3 junior guard

Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward
Arthur scored early then stopped looking for his shot. Although the Jayhawks play best when he's the top-scoring threat, it's even more important for him to establish himself early.
The seniors go out with a victory. Senior Night or Day has been a major tradition since Roy Williams started coaching the team. Fans had no seniors to cheer for last season, so they should be extra pumped about the final game for this year's class.

Phog Allen Will Roll Over In Over In His Grave If...
Kansas has a letdown after the big victory on Saturday night. The Kansas State game could be a building block or it could be seen as too big of an accomplishment. If that's the case, the Jayhawks might not be focused for this next game against Texas Tech. Fortunately, the Red Raiders just upset Texas, so Kansas will probably not take them lightly.
TTU
TIPOFF
ATA GLANCE
First thing Bill Self should do today, is add Texas Tech coach Pat Knight to his Christmas Card List. Pat Knight's Texas Tech team upset Texas 83-80 on Saturday, helping the Jayhawks draw even with the Longhorns at 11-3 in the Big 12 standings. Knight, who took over after his dad - the legendary Bobby Knight - quit midseason, has coached Texas Tech to a 3-4 record. At 7-7 in the Big 12, Texas Tech still has an outside chance to finish in the top half of the Big 12 and throw its name on to the NCAA tournament bubble. But a loss tonight against Kansas - a team it upset last season in Lubbock, Texas – would end that hopeful talk pretty quickly.
WHO TO WATCH Martin Zeno, 6-foot-5 senior guard
How old is Martin Zeno? It seems like he's been lacing up his shoes in Lubbock, Texas for 10 years. The senior is actually only 22 years old.
But his 1,860 career points demonstrate his longevity. Zeno, who's averaging 15.9 points per game, has been
Zeno
a four-year starter for the Red Raiders. With his 6-foot-5 frame and sweet left-handed shooting stroke, Zeno will be a nice match-up for Kansas junior guard Brandon Rush. If Rush shuts Zeno down, expect Kansas to roll.
QUESTION MARK Who is Pat Knight?
He's not his dad, Bob Knight, that's a start. Kansas fans are probably disappointed that Bob Knight won't be making an appearance in Allen Fieldhouse this year. His polarizing presence made every game more interesting. Instead, fans will have to deal with his son, Pat. Pat Knight, who played for his father at Indiana from 1991 to 1995, is in his seventh season at Texas Tech - he spent the prior six seasons as an assistant coach. His team's victory against Texas was his biggest win to date. That would change with an upset victory tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.
Russell Robinson on Brandon Rush
HEARYE. HEARYE
We're going to have to have a great week. We've got our energy, balance, and swagger back a little bit so hopefully we'll play well on Monday. Our fans, players and coaches in Kansas basketball need to make sure that Rodrick, Jeremy, Russell, Sasha and Darnell go out in style because that's what Monday is all about."

MONDAY, MARCH 3. 2008
SENIORS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"It's an unheralded class," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "A lot of guys get more attention but this has just been a fabulous class."
The only way they can improve their legacy is with a fourth consecutive Big 12 regular season title and a run to the Final Four.
"We have a team to do it if we play to our potential," Robinson said. "I want to enjoy each moment, live it up and when all is said and done, have no regrets."
For now, they'll have to enjoy one final night at the Fieldhouse. After tonight, Jackson will never throw down an alley-oop again in front
of 16,300 Jayhawk fans. Kaun will never tosa a baby-hook over his right shoulder. Stewart will never sky for a highlight reel jam. Case will never pop another three-pointer. Robinson will never hear the serenade of New York, New York.
Note:
It's their last night, and they want to win.
"All the coaches and players," Self said, "need to get in and make sure these guys go out in style."
Walk-on Brad Witherspoon will not be honored tonight in the ceremony before the game or with a speech afterwards. Self said Witherspoon was technically not a senior. He still has to be a student-teacher next year before he can graduate.

Kansas beats Iowa 9-5; team improves hitting
BY SHAWN SHROYER
shroyer@kansan.com
In Kansas' Music City Classic finale against Iowa on Sunday, the hitting virus spread to Land's team-mates while junior left-hander Sam Freeman (2-0) kept it from spreading to the Hawkeyes.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - After a 4-for-5, two home run game on Saturday, Kansas junior first baseman Preston Land remarked that hitting was contagious.
Riding a five-run second inning, Kansas (4-5) left Nashville, Tenn., with a 9-5 victory against Iowa (3-3), which entered Sunday unbeaten in the Music City Classic.
"When you're struggling scoring runs, and you leave runners at third
base, the next thing you know, it puts pressure on you the next time you have runners in scoring position," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "To break out early like that, I think allowed everybody to relax and we swung the bats pretty good."
A day after pounding out 13 hits, the Jayhawk bats were still hot early Sunday afternoon.
With two on and one out in the second inning, freshman third baseman Tony Thompson came to the plate. Earlier in the weekend, Thompson said he wanted to put a dent in the 30-foot wall looming in left field at Hawkins Field. Facing Iowa right-hander Steve Turnbull (0-1), Thompson did just that, smacking a single off the wall and driving in Kansas' first run.
"There were plenty of dents in it
already, so I was just hoping to add one to it," Thompson said. "I got it."
Junior center fielder Nick Faunce, who led Kansas with four hits Sunday, hit a high pop fly over second baseman Justin Toole's head that right fielder Kyle Riffel should have taken. Instead, Toole lunged for it and missed. Riffel then picked up the ball and overthrew his cutoff man at second base, allowing two runs to score.
With the bases loaded later in the inning, Kansas capitalized on two Hawkeye errors to extend the rally.
By the time Iowa nailed down the third out of the inning, Freeman had a 5-0 lead to work with.

Freeman was strong on the mound for Kansas, allowing only one run through the first four innings, but Iowa got to him in the fifth.
Iowa first baseman Wes Freie started the inning with a walk. The next batter, left fielder Kurtis Muller, sent a ball to the gap between left and center field, plating Freie.
Muller took himself out of scoring position, getting caught stealing by Kansas senior catcher Ryne Price, but Iowa shortstop Kevin Hoef used his speed to create the Hawkeyes' next scoring opportunity.
After beating out an infield single, Hoef stole second base. Two batters later, Hoef scored on a single by center fielder Caleb Curry.
Iowa put another runner on base, but Freeman got out of the inning with his third strikeout of the game and called it a day. In five innings, he held Iowa to three runs, despite

"I feel really good about the progress we made this week," Price said. "I just complimented our team on the maturity we've shown. We made progress with the bat, our starting pitching was good every game, and our bullpen was solid."

allowing eight hits and a walk.
The lasting impression Kansas left at the end of the weekend was how much its bats had improved since Friday. In the last two games of the weekend - after being held to one run on three hits Friday - the Kansas offense combined for 21 runs and 25 hits. Against Iowa, seven of Kansas' starting nine recorded hits.
Iowa made it interesting, loading the bases on junior closer Paul Smyth in the ninth. But Smyth managed to retire the next three batters and seal the victory for Kansas.
More importantly, he left with Kansas still on top, 8-3, and himself in line for victory. But even with back-to-back victories to start the season, Freeman isn't letting the success get to his head.

Senior Ryne Price moved Into a tie for fifth place on Kansas' career home runs list, hitting his 25th in the third inning. The home run, Price's first of the season, moved him past fellow senior Erik Morrison and put him just four home runs behind former Jayhawk Travis Metcalf for the all-time record.
INJURY UPDATES
Junior catcher Buck Afenir sat out Saturday and Sunday's games after pulling his hamstring legging out a triple Friday night.
Junior left-hander Andy Marks was shut down from throwing over the weekend. Marks, who is recovering from a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, couldn't finish his bulpen session last weekend, so Price postponed his bullpens until the team returned from Nashville.

Sophomore guard Danielle McCray just hit a jump shot, forcing Iowa State to use a time-out, and the Jayhawks played suffocating defense out of the break. That is until Cyclone guard Alison Lacey hit a fadeaway jumper with one tick left on the shot clock.
The Hilton Coliseum crowd – lulled to sleep by Kansas' 6-0 run – erupted, and Lacey went to the free-throw line to push the lead back to eight thanks to a McIntosh foul on the play.

The Jayhawks' tendency to beat themselves probably decided the outcome of the game only three minutes into the second half against the Cyclones. Two Kansas turnovers allowed Iowa State to jump to a 29-18 lead by virtue of a 9-0 run.
Inability to hold ball costs game
With the loss, Kansas finished winless on the road during Big 12 Conference play and is effectively eliminated from NCAA Tournament consideration. After winning 11 of 13 games during a difficult non-conference schedule, the team's inability to win on the road derailed what looked to be a breakthrough season.
While disappointing, the flat beginning to the second period was hardly surprising. Kansas has been outscored on the road in the second half in every game but one.

"Taylor went 6-for-8, and we needed to get it to her 18 times," Henrickson said. "She had to get more touches on a night when Krysten really struggled."
"Right now, we are a team that doesn't go to the NCAA Tournament because we can't play six minutes out of the locker room." Henrickson said.
BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com
Asked if she had envisioned her team losing all eight conference road contests before Big 12 play began, coach Bonnie Henrickson said she may have just stayed at home.
The first half was a defensive grind with each team shooting a paltry 30 percent. Iowa State (18-10, 7-8) led by two at
Through 15 conference games, the Hawks are averaging more than
three more turnovers per game than their opponents. Kansas is last in the Big 12 in turnovers per game at 20.1 and also boasts the worst assist to turnover ratio.
"What locker we left (our game) in at halftime, I don't know," Hendrickson said. "That's where we lose the basketball game is the first three or four minutes."
On the road, Henrickson's team is even worse. Kansas recorded two games with at least 25 turnovers, 27 at Colorado and 25 at Oklahoma, and failed to register a game of less than 17 giveaways.
from Allen Fieldhouse.
It's not an undiagnosed problem. Henrickson and her staff have constantly preached the importance of limiting wasted possessions, but the Jayhawks have yet to find a way to accomplish that. The team's three primary ball handlers, junior guard Ivana Catic and sophomore guards Danielle McCray and Sade Morris, simply haven't been able to offset the cost of turnovers with assists away
There were several bad Kansas stats after the game, (0-for-8 on three-pointers, three assists to 17 turnovers) but the most disappointing one came from missed opportunities. The Jayhawks pulled down 17 offensive rebounds and could only convert that into nine second-chance points.
McCray was sidelined with foul trouble for much of the first half, but until the 9:40 mark in the second half, she still had as many fouls, two, as points.
At home the three combine to average 7.6 assists and 9.7 turnovers. Although turnovers only rise to 9.8 away from Lawrence, the trio's assist totals plummet to 4.2.
Henrickson credits that to the Cyclones diamond-and-one defense, a junk formation that ensured McCray wouldn't get an open look. McCray finished with a season low-tying six points, only the third time all year she's been held to single digit scoring.
The Cyclones used a 15-3 run during the first nine minutes of the second half to push the score to 35-21. Lacey, guard Kelsey Bolte and forward Jocelyn Anderson had all 15 of those points, and the trio combined to score 30 of the Cyclones' 31
Despite her team's struggles, Henrickson said she had no doubt that Kansas had the players to succeed. She said that her team just hadn't yet shown the growth needed to succeed night in and night out in the Big 12.
"You've got to have some toughness, some character, and players have got to step up and make plays," Henrickson said. "We just haven't done that consistently."
However, Iowa State's attention to McCray did open things up down low where McNitroth had her second best game of the year with 15 points, 16 rebounds, three steals and a block. Kansas would have benefited greatly from an inside duo, but freshman center Krysten Boogaard still hasn't snapped out of her funk and was

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Beasley's performance not enough for team victory
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Kansas State freshman Michael Beasley sat quietly outside of the Wildcats' locker room on Saturday night. Munching on a bag of potato chips, the freshman All-American tried to hold back his frustration.
"We laid down," Beasley said, after the Wildcats 88-74 loss.
Beasley may be wondering what else he can do.
His first trip to Allen Fieldhouse was a 31-minute display of basketball brilliance.
Too bad Kansas State sure knows how to waste brilliance. In fact, the Wildcats are making a habit of it.
"As a whole, we just weren't there energy wise, intensity wise." Beasley said, after scoring 39 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
In K-State's biggest game of the season, the Wildcats leading man showed up. The problem for K-State: its other 10 players didn't.
"We have to help him," K-State senior guard Clent Stewart said. "He is going out and doing what he has to do to win and we have to help him."
Stewart had just six points on 2- of 7 shooting.
the rest of the Wildcats weren't much help Saturday, either. The other 10 players who played couldn't even match Beasley's 39 points, scoring a combined 35 points on 12-of-
33 shooting.
Freshman Bill Walker and Jacob Pullen, two players who combined for 44 points in K-State's upset victory against Kansas on Jan. 30, combined for just 12 on Saturday.
Kansas' guards didn't overlook Pullen this time. Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers corralled K-State's freshman point-guard, holding him to three points and pressuring him into three turnovers.
Kansas derailed Walker, as well.
Clearly frustrated, Walker played just eight minutes in the first half because of foul trouble and spent most of the second half on the bench. He finished with nine points; seven of those, though, came in the closing minutes with the game's outcome no longer in doubt.
"There ain't nothing going on with him. He ain't playing." Beasley said. "He sat most of the game. He still gave us productive minutes. He's playing as hard as he can."
With his teammates performing poorly, Beasley had to be a one-man army. Despite picking up two fouls in the opening minutes, Beasley showed off his NBA-caliber game — at times, making it look too easy.
His sweet left-handed stroke, his Venus flytrap hands, his powerful upper body—they were all on display.
Beasley recorded his 25th double of the season, tying Kansas
Drew Gooden for the Big 12 record.
"He may not win National Player of the Year," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "But hands down he's the best in the country."
For 31 minutes, Beasley imposed his will on the Jayhawk defense. But for all his talent and athleticism, the National Player of the Year candidate never controlled the game.
"It was a quiet 39 if you ask me," Robinson said.
The outcome continued an alarming trend for K-State. Beasley is averaging 37.6 points per game during the Wildcat's past three games, but K-State still lost all three. Saturday continued the same trend. Beasley delighted. K-State lost.
Finishing his bag of chips, Beasley wiped his greasy fingers on his pants. His 39-points — tied for the fourth most by any opponent in 53-year history of Allen Fieldhouse — were wasted.
With a sellout crowd of 16,300 fans watching, Beasley was the best player on the floor Saturday night. But Kansas was clearly the best team.
"They played with a chip on their shoulders," Beasley said of the Jayhawks. "They played with a vengeance."
"We just had no will to win," Beasley said.
- Edited by Matt Hirschfeld
THE WEEKEND
Kansas coach Bill Self and his coaching staff question a call by game officials during the first half. Self and his Jayhawks improved to 1-3 in the Big 12 with the victory. "Everything was good today," Self said after the game. "Texas getting beat didn't hurt our feelings much." Texas lost to Texas Tech Saturday afternoon and fell to 11-3 in the conference.
Notes
TRIO OF TOWERS
You had to feel sorry for the people sitting in the second row behind the Kansas bench. Former Jayhawks Greg Ostertag, Moulaye Niang and Eric Chenoweth sat a row ahead of them. Chenoweth and Ostertag are seven-footers and Niang is 6-foot-9. Ostertag played from 1992-1996, Chenoweth from 1997-2001 and Niang from 2001-2005.
FIVE IS A MAGIC NUMBER
Five Jayhawks scored in double figures on Saturday.That's happened five times this season Kansas record when that happens is 5-0.
Russell Robinson snared a career-high 10 rebounds against Iowa State on Wednesday. He went for blocks on Saturday, rejecting three shots, a career high.

The Kansas City Symphony Chorus sang a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner but proceeded to butcher the Alma Mater. About halfway through,
those in the student section recognized that the choir was going too slow and did what any respectable Jayhawk fans would have done. They drowned out the choir, and sang the alma mater at the right tempo.
DICK VITALE IN THE HOUSE
Say what you want about Dick Vitale, but it was great to have him back at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday. Sure, his incessant blathering about Duke and North Carolina is annoying, but Vitale is a great ambassador for the college game. When Vitale spent two months earlier this season recovering from throat surgery, he was sorely missed.

Secret seeker explains project

awiebe@kansan.com
Three years after he first elicited people's innermost secrets by mail, postcards continue to arrive at PostSecret founder Frank Warren's home to the tune of around 1,000 per week. At any given moment he probably has hundreds scattered on his dining room table.
Warren is traveling to college campuses to speak to students about the project and the issues surrounding it. He will make five presentations in March and 13 college visits in April. Warren said one reason he believes PostSecret is so popular with young people is that it's something truly authentic.
Wednesday night at the Kansas Union. he will speak to KU students about how the project began, its exploding popularity and share a secret of his own. The event will also include time for discussion, questions and an exhibition of secrets that have yet to be published.
"My wife kind of figures that the secrets will never stop coming," Warren said.
Matthew Jacobson, associate professor of theatre and film, is one of more than 500 people who have said on Facebook that they would attend the event. Jacobson said for the past year he has sat down at his computer with a cup of coffee every Sunday morning to the look at the new secrets Warren posted
"I really find that the best part of the project is going out and sharing the stories and listening to other people." Warren said.
on PostSecret.com.
"I'd love to meet the person who came up with this absolutely brilliant idea, and say thank you," jacobson said.
Although he hasn't sent in a postcard of his own, Jacobson he said he is considering turning one in on Wednesday. Student Union Activities has set up boxes around campus for students to turn in their own secrets. The entries will be displayed at the Kansas Union.

Hollie Dawson, Wichita junior, hasn't decided whether or not she will attend Warren's presentation but said she periodically checked the Web site and had read parts of Warren's books. Dawson said she read mostly for entertainment.
PostSecret began in 2004 when Warren sent thousands of blank postcards to people with instructions to send it back with a secret they had never revealed to anyone else. He ended up receiving 150 postcards within a month.
"I love to look at all the art that's on there," Dawson said. "I'm kind of nosy so looking at people's secrets is kind of fun."
After the initial exhibit received rave reviews, Warren continued receiving postcards and is due to receive his 200,000th card this month. He has subsequently published four PostSecret books with another in the works; three of the previous releases have been New York Times best-sellers.
"I feel like I've accidentally tapped into

something full of wonder and mystery that I don't completely understand." Warren said.
In addition to his books, Warren has maintained PostSecret.com, a blog that posts 20 new secrets each Sunday, since February 2005. PostSecret.com has received numerous awards including "Best Blog" at the annual Webb Awards in 2007.
There are many reasons people have made PostSecret books best-sellers and the Web site internationally known, but Warren said he thought the project's success could be attributed to the way the secrets touched other people's lives.

"Eventually you reach a secret that really speaks to you and your heart, and it might be a different postcard for everybody who comes," Warren said. "I think when you see that one that is something that you can just so closely identify with, it allows you to feel that you might not be so alone."

Lecturer Iain Ellis English Department
English lecturer Iain Ellis teaches Expressions of Youth Rebellion this semester. He moved the U.S. from Manchester, England for the cultural experience of rock music.
BY ABBY OLCESE aolcese@kansan.com
Literary
What classes do you teach?
Where are you from originally, and what brought you to the United States?
What classes do you teach? Right now I'm teaching a class called Expressions of Youth Rebellion, which looks at the history of social rebellion through the decades. We just finished learning about the Black Power movement. I also teach some basic writing classes.
I'm from Manchester. I came here because of Rock. People growing up in Britain who are into music sort of drift into the cultural experience of it all.
Why did you decide to get your doctorate in American Studies?
What got you interested in music?
I've always been interested in the area. It's really broad, so you can pursue various avenues. Rock has always been my main interest, and so I like to manipulate the system any way I can to work with it. Also, I find that many English classes that are taught these days aren't that different from culture classes. It's not as strict as it used to be.
Punk rock was my turning point. When I was growing up, there was a
DJ, John Peel, who had a radio program on BBC1. He had a two-hour show every night, and that was it if you wanted to listen to anything alternative or different. But then the Punk movement happened, and it was life changing. It not only influenced a musical revolution, but also a social, cultural and political revolution. I think it helped that I was about 15 or 16 at the time, and that's when you tend to find the music that defines you. It was my defining music then, and it still is.
How did you get into teaching?
I sort of fell into teaching. Like a lot of graduate students, my first experience teaching was in a teaching assistantship. Finally, I just got to a point where I just couldn't do anything else. I've grown to love it, and I feel like it's a natural profession for me.
I came to popmatters through a friend who I'd been in a band with in Ohio. He was an editor there. At the time, one of my favorite bands, Guided By Voices, had just broken up, and I wanted to do a tribute essay. My friend accepted it, and I've just kept at it since then.
When and how did you start writing for popmatters.com?
You're writing a book on subversive rock humorists. What interested you in that subject?
It started as a series for popmat-
ters.com. I'd written a few profiles of some of my favorite rock humorists. The more I thought about it, over history my favorite subversive artists have used humor as their main force of articulation. I also feel like there's more diversity in the use of humor in rock than in any other genre. It can be visual, lyrical, musical, there are so many styles and strategies. The most radical figures out there are people who have had an ability to mix humor with subversion and rebellion. The book follows how that's changed over time. There are very few rock rebels who have been humorists at the same time, so this is sort of an alternative view of rock history and youth history.
What do you think of the
Lawrence music scene?
I like a lot of Lawrence music. There are some bands I've really liked, like Black Christmas, Suzannah Johannes and Fourth of July. I also like that there are lots of bands who stop in here to play.
What are some current bands you've been listening to?
My tastes now are very eclectic. I've been listening to a lot of stuff that's been coming out of Britain in the last couple of years like the Fratellis, the Libertines and the Arctic Monkeys. They're sort of guilty pleasures. My tastes are all over the place, but I've been coming back to the Brits lately.

Spacecraft photographs avalanches on Mars
PASADENA, Calif. — A robotic spacecraft circling Mars has snapped the first image of a series of active avalanches near the planet's north pole, scientists said Monday.
The image, taken last month, reveals at least four avalanches of fine ice and dust breaking off from a steep cliff. The cascade kicked up massive debris clouds, with some measuring more than 590 feet across.

It is rare for scientists to catch a natural event in action on the surface of Mars. Most of the landscape that has been recorded so far has not changed much in millions of years. The avalanches occurred near the north pole and broke part of a 2,300-foot cliff.
The landslides were spied by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter during a routine tracking of sea-

Scientists were unsure what set off the avalanches and whether they occur frequently or only during the spring.

STUDENT SENATE Violation accusation found to be unmerited
Friday, the elections hearing board heard the first elections violation of the election period.
Mason Heilman, Lawrence sophomore and residential senator, filed a violation against Jarrod Morgenstern and Jack Connor with the WIKUpedia project.
The violation said that Morgenstern, Overland Park senior and journalism senator, and Connor, Overland Park senior and holdover senator, visited Charles Marsh's Journalism 101 class and showed the WiKUpedia Web site to the students. WiKUpedia is hosted from the Connect coalition's Web site.
Alex Herman, Hays law student and chair of the hearing board, said the hearing board found no violation in a vote of 3-0. He said the two senators didn't go through the coalition's Web site and instead went straight to the Wikipedia site
"They only went to sites that were undoubtedly neutral with Senate politics." Herman said.
Morgenstern said that in the two years he has been involved in Senate, he did not remember a violation being filed this early.

Professor discusses how physics,faith work together
BY JESSICA WICKS

Michael Murray never learned that faith and science are separate. On Friday Murray shared with other KU faculty and community members how physics and faith were not separate from one another.

Michael Murray, physics and astronomy professor, says that religion and physics are intertwined. The responsibility of science, especially nuclear science, sparked his interest in the relationship between religion and physics and helped him understand his responsibility to humanity and morality in his work.
Distinguished professor Raj Bhala attended the talk and said Murray, a professor of physics and astronomy, raised profound questions at the intersection of science, religion and ethics.
"Sometimes people think that because you are religious, you do not think," Murray's wife, Maureen, said. "Michael believes that you should always be seeking out the truth, both in what you do and your faith."
Maureen said that means asking questions.
Murray is a Catholic father of seven and a nuclear scientist.
He said that the problem with particle physics was that everything you believe in eventually crumbles. You think you live in a 3-D world, that you know left and right and that here and there are separated, he said. But when you work in science, everything is questioned.
"The quantum world has limits to what we can know," Murray said.
He said that, like science, creation was not one event; it never stopped.
"In the 19th century, people had the idea that creation was a clock that God wound up and just left to run out."
Murray said he has to continually love humanity in the way God continuially loves creation.
In the late 80s, Murray went to
work for Los Alamos, a laboratory that did nuclear weapons research. He had to confront the morality of his faith in the work that he did.
Murray said this was a time when the world was on the verge of nuclear war, and although his research was not directly related to weapons science, it contributed to the atmosphere of the institution keeping it intellectually lively.
"For me, I felt that God wanted me to be a scientist," he said. "What I had to discern was how to do that in a way that made God happy. I felt that it was very important for scientists to work to bring peace and we had to take responsibility for the work that we did."
Murray said he ultimately decided to leave when Pope John Paul II called on scientists to leave the factory of death.
"The greatest thing in creation is people," he said. "We must respect that above everything else."
One of his first jobs as a nuclear scientist was for CERN, a European center for nuclear research.
Murray said that while he was there, he noticed that Israelis who had survived Auchwitz were able to work together with Germans on non-military projects that benefitted science.
University, Murray uses the same human morality in dealing with students.
"That had a profound affect on me," he said. "That they could overcome so much made a difference."
Bhala said that Murray's talk was substantially and stylistically valuable.
"Faith and reason are an indispenable and complimentary basis
Murray said that while he was at CERN, he met scientists from Hiroshima. He said when he showed them their museum, he was embarrassed that the presentation about the Hiroshima bombing was so one-sided, not having much to say about the human loss. Now at the
for knowlegde and progress," Bhala said. "Both of them should be taught."
Maureen said that in the United States we really seem to compartmentalize religion.
"From a young age, Michael had faith in his decision making; in how
he acted as a student, a professor, a researcher," Maureen said.
At home he teaches his kids to care about science and math and to ask questions. Murray said that
She said that her husband recognizes that he is not perfect, but he really strives to do what is right.
human respect in his work and family defined his humanity.
"I love my children and my wife," he said. "It is what makes me human. The more human we are, the more happy we become."

Senate to consider classdrop change Rules bogging down students
fchambers@kansan.com
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
fchambers@akansan.com
Jack Connor had no idea that it would take him two hours to drop his one credit-hour beginner's basketball course.
First, Connor, Overland Park senior, could not find the graduate student who taught his class on KU people search, and then he couldn't find her at Robinson for her to sign his drop form. Finally, someone in the Office of the Registrar told him he needed a dean's stamp from the School of Journalism to drop the class because he was journalism major.
Connor thought the policy had changed, but trusted the Registrar's Office only to find out his instincts were right.
After following so many steps, Connor thought there had to be an easier way for students to drop classes.
"Everyone here is an adult," Connor said. "I don't think you should have to get your teacher's permission to drop a class."
The committee will also recommend that the University reinstate its use of "W" on transcripts to indicate students withdrew from a class after the first 15 days of the semester in place of the current "WP", withdraw passing, and "WF", withdraw failing marks. The University used the "W" system until last school year.
In the future students may be able to drop their classes more easily online. Today the Academic Policies and Procedures committee will recommend to the University Senate's Executive committee that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as other schools at the University, be able to make their own drop rules.
Geraldo de Sousa, chair of AP&P, agreed with Connor that if students are mature enough to sign up for a class, they are mature enough to drop it as well. He also said Connor was not the only student who had to face what Sousa called a "traffic jam" to drop classes.
Sousa said many students who had decided to drop classes tried to do so on the last day, which caused problems for the Office of the
Registrar and for students as well, especially if they could not find their instructor, like Connor.
Jim Slocum, Wheaton, Ill., freshman, said he thought obtaining his teacher's signature was not worth his time because his teacher did not even ask him why he was dropping the class. Slocum said he wished his teacher had asked him why.
"Then I could have explained to him kids are dropping because he's just not a good teacher," Slocum said.
Erika Fisher, Eden Prairie, Minn., sophomore, said she had dropped two classes and was satisfied with the University's procedures.
"If it was a press of a button, that would be great," Fisher said, "but instant gratification is what we are all about these days, and its not that hard to go the couple extra steps."
He also said the University has had problems with students changing "WFs" to "WPs". He said only 10 to 15 students a semester had attempted to do this, but that it was academic misconduct. Sousa said one way of solving the problem was to do away with the "WP/WF" system.
Sousa said the committee would recommend a return to the "W" mark because teachers don't necessarily evenly enforce "WF."
He said instructors might interpret the grade in different ways but that "W" was a neutral grade.
"The only thing I don't like about the policy is the "WP/WF", if they could just reinstate the "W," I'll be happy," Gerald said.
SenEx has to approve the AP&P's recommendations before University Senate passes them. Connor, a student member of SenEx, said he would attend SenEx's meeting today to give the committee his advice.
He said the University should create ways to help students decide which classes they should drop instead of creating barriers.
Connor said he thought the drop system could be improved with better advising.
SenEx's meetings are open to students and faculty.

Students hope to raise $20,000 at event

csommerville@kansan.com
The Miami Triad used to be a big party that Beta Theta Phi, Sigma Chi, and Phi Delta Theta fraternities threw every year. Enthusiasm for the party diminished in the past few years, so Theis, Sinks and Havens revitalized it with a new spin. The concert is called Miami Triad because the fraternities that Theis, Sinks, Havens are in were started at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Three University students will present Miami Triad, a concert in honor of their friend who never made it to college. The concert will feature the band Citizen Cope, at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., April 4. All proceeds will go to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
"This was our chance to combine three fraternities together to remember Scottie and to help out a good cause along the way." Theis said.
Brian Theis, Overland Park junior,
Chuck Sinks, Overland Park senior,
and Scott Havens, Overland Park
junior, started the benefit concert last
year for a high school friend who died
from cancer.
Scott Innes, who Theis and Havens knew from Blue Valley Northwest high school, died on January 29, 2004 after battling cancer for six years. Theis and Havens met Sinks at the University, and they decided to put on the concert.
Theis said they put on the concert because Innes always wanted to go to the University, and never got to "live his dream and become a student here," Theis said.
Innes' mother, uncle, grandparents and brother all graduated from the University.
They have been planning this year's concert since last fall.
They booked Citizen Cope because it was one of Innes' favorite bands in high school.
Last year was the first year of the benefit concert, and it featured rap artist Afroman. Theis, Sinks, and Havens raised about $6,000 and donated it all to Children's Mercy Hospital. More than 850 people attended the concert.
Children's Mercy Hospital gave Theis, Sinks, and Havens a plaque
for the donations from last year's concert.
This year their goal is $20,000.
"The support that we've received from the community of Lawrence as well as friends and family from Kansas City has been outstanding, and we feel like this goal is pretty obtainable." Theis said.
I will try to be as accurate as possible. The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text or graphics that might be present. Therefore, I cannot provide a transcription of the text from this image.
Tickets are available to the public on Friday.
Theis, Sinks and Havens went around the community and asked family and friends to help cover the costs, which Theis estimated at around $22,000. Citizen Cope costs $17,500, tickets and T-shirts had to be bought, and other expenses applied as well.

》STUDY ABROAD
Trips may come with larger price tag because of weak dollar
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
For students planning to study abroad in Europe during spring break, every dollar in their pocket will only be worth about 67 cents once they get overseas.
According to xe.com, a Web site that tracks up-to-the-minute currency exchange rates, the dollar's value has dropped 44 percent since 2000.
Back then a dollar was worth $1.20 in Euros, the currency used in most European countries.
The dollar is now at its lowest
value against the Euro in the history of the Euro's existence.
Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the Study Abroad Department, said her department will be watching the fluctuation of the dollar's value the next three weeks.
If it continues down its current path, some study abroad programs may have to either reduce spending or look elsewhere for funding, Gronbeck-Tedesco said.
"We're going to try to take our excess costs out of the reserve if possible so that we can keep the advertised price for students, but if the costs are too great, we may have
to ask students to pay an additional fee,' she said.
Gronbeck-Tedesco said the option to raise program fees would be a last resort.
"I never like to ask students for more money," she said. "Once we put a budget together, we try to stick with that budget so that we don't drive students crazy with additional costs."
She said her department would only consider these additional costs for programs next fall because the summer programs will have their budgets already set before any financial decisions are made.
Gronbeck-Tedesco said the three biggest expenses for students traveling to Europe were transportation, housing and luxury goods.
Large cities like Rome, Paris and Brussels are the most expensive places to shop.
Ann Huppert, who will supervise a study abroad trip to Rome, said one way students could save money is by adopting local customs rather than sticking to their regular American habits.
One example of this, she said, is that Italians drink more coffee than Americans, making soda more expensive.
"You might pay the equivalent of nearly $4 for a can of Coca-Cola in a restaurant or bar," she said. "American students might want to change their habits while travelling since coffee is a much more inexpensive source of caffeine."
Corey Gray, a student in Huppert's group, said European thrift stores have been the focus of her research.

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptus Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

COMMENTARY
Athletics Dept. ignores concerns
HOW DO YOU ALWAYS WIND UP WITH SUCH A GOOD PARKING SPOT?
ITS EASY WHEN YOU USED TO PARK AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
WOW. CONGRATULATIONS.
JENNY HARTZ
Recently, the KU Athletics Department admitted they are unable to replace all the parking spots they displaced with the construction of the Anderson Family Complex south of Memorial Stadium.
I'm an English major, so I was glad that The Kansan article "Lots vanish during construction of complex" did the math for me on exactly how many spots we're losing:
667 total spots lost
227 spots replaced
218 spots to be replaced once construction is finished (probably around May 2050)
- 222 spots vanished without a trace (the Athletics Department is claiming alien abduction)
Besides breaking its promise, the thing that makes me mad is the Athletics Department and Design and Construction Management Department are acting like they had no idea this would be a problem.
Apparently, using a highly technological process that involves much precision and know-how, a process called "using our eyes and looking around;" the Athletics Department and DCM had no idea that there was no room for additional parking on campus.
We should totally believe them. After all, in April 2005, they had a professional parking consultant tell the University that parking was not adequate, and this was before the football practice fields project had been proposed.
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony is quoted as saying, in regards to parking, "I've never really heard anyone complain about it."
That's funny. I attack the lack parking on this campus (and Ugg boots) about every other column. But Ugg boots have never promised me to be anything but ugly, and they've kept their promise.
We only have about five comments about parking in the Free For All every week.
We can completely understand why the Athletics Department sees parking as a non-issue.
One of the Athletics Department's current suggestions to help solve the parking dilemma is to move the track and throwing fields, which makes total sense.
We should do everything we can for football because, after all, we only have two sports teams (football and competitive parking) on campus right?
If there isn't any room for parking, where are we going to have room to move the throwing fields?
Excuse my lack of track expertise, having only participated in it throughout high school, but shouldn't you have your track near your field and not in, say, an adjacent state?
Isn't our track inside Memorial Stadium? Where are we going to put it? Inside Wescoe? It would make that building a lot easier to get around.
This isn't the only time that the Athletics Department has infringed on student parking.
Think about every time there is a home basketball game. It is next to impossible to find parking anywhere near where you have class, a test, or a job.
Athletics Department trying to control campus with no regard to how inconvenient it is for students, who, last time I checked, were paying up the wazoo to earn degrees of higher education, not higher sports rankings.
I'm personally tired of the
It amazes me how ignorant they are of campus issues. It seems to me that if it doesn't involve an Adidas contract or a revenue increase, they are blissfully unaware.
To help the Athletics Department know how students feel about the parking issue and any other injustices you may have encountered (trying to buy tickets for any game, not being able to buy KU merchandise from other companies because the
Athletics Department tries to copyright everything, being attacked on campus by squirrels trained to attack anyone who has not given athletics money, etc.), here is a way to let the Athletics Department know how you feel:
Jim Marchiony: (785) 864-3359
Lew Perkins: (785) 864-3143.
Go ahead. Give the Athletics Department a call.
As its mission statement says on its Web site, it is devoted to "Inparalleled Excellence"
Let's make sure we help them keep this promise.

Complaints about parking growing louder
MANDY EARLES
Class starts at 10 a.m., but that doesn't mean I can just get there at 9:50.
No, I have to get up around 8:30 a.m., get ready and leave around 9 a.m., a full hour before class even starts.
We all face this problem, and the University is fully aware. But what has it done to help? It decided to take away more than 200 parking spots, of course. The Athletics Department doesn't seem to think this is a big deal.
Why? A little thing called parking.
An article in The Kansan quoted Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, saying he'd never heard any complaints about the parking situation.
I usually try to park by the Student Recreation Fitness Center in the yellow parking. It is almost impossible to find a spot, and I usually get there at 10:20 a.m. circling around until around 10:50 a.m., when I see several students finally leaving. By this time, I'm late for class unless I run up the hill.
Since the decrease in parking. Mondays around 11 a.m. have been the hardest for me.
There must be some major wax build-up in his ears, because we are complaining.
It won't be the same walking down the hill with two huge practice fields on the right and a huge two-story facility on the left.
Don't get me started on the new Anderson Family Football Complex.
I feel inferior to the athletes of KU. The athletes get better treatment than any other students on campus. I don't think they need another practice field, let alone two 100-yard practice fields.
Even though the Athletics Department states this facility won't interfere with walking down the hill, I disagree.
I enjoyed the scenic view down the hill. Now it will just look like some temple devoted to KU athletes
Talk about a waste of space and destruction of nature just to make sure our athletes are comfortable.
as we walk down the hill.
It's funny that the Athletics Department and the Design and Construction Management Department promised to replace every parking spot that they took away. But when they realized they couldn't find anywhere to replace the spots, they just said, "Oops, sorry," and the University let them get away with it.
I shouldn't be surprised that the Athletics Department gets what it wants without any consequences.
Yes, I love stalking random people as they walk to their cars. Now I've gotten to the point of rolling down my window and asking the

Apparently they can do that because they have "celebrity" status.
person, "Hey, are you parked in this row?"
There's nothing more frustrating than following drivers all the way down a row only to see them cross over to the next row, where another vulture waits to grab their spot.
But I will suck it up and stick it out for my next two semesters. I will get up early and turn into a vulture every morning because by the time the University decided to do something about it, I'd be long gone.
But don't think that my fellow classmates will let this situation go unnoticed and unchecked.
By the time I'm gone, Marchiony and the Athletics Department will wish their ears would stop ringing from all the complaints.

STUDENT SENATE
United Students makes campus pool addition first platform
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
United Students announced Sunday the addition of a swimming pool to the Student Recreation Fitness Center as its first platform.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and United Students presidential candidate, said there was not enough funding for the pool if his coalition did not make it a platform. He said his coalition, if elected, would not raise student fees to pay for the addition, which is projected to cost $20 million.
McGonigle said the coalition had students fill out surveys about what they wanted to see happen on campus. He said many people said Robinson Center, the building with the University's only pool, was not open often enough. Robinson is open to students for less than three hours per day.
McGonigle said he was exploring different options to fund the building. In spring 2005, Student Senate agreed to give up student seats at Allen Fieldhouse so the Athletics Department could charge more money from ticket holders. That money is funding the recreation center expansion. McGonigle said one possibility would be diverting extra money earned from giving up student
seats at basketball games to the addition of the pool.
Another option, McGonigle said, was to redirect the $15 fee students currently pay to fund the boathouse to pay for the new pool, after the construction of the boathouse is finished. The Athletics Department is $4 million away from paying off the boathouse.
Adding a 50-meter NCAA competitive pool to the recreation center was originally proposed in 2002. McGonigle said he wanted to explore the options and see if students wanted a competitive pool, a lap pool or a combination of both.
"The idea was inspired by students and visits to other Big 12 universities," McGonigle said.
McGongle said the pool area at the University of Texas, which he visited on a Student Senate conference, combined a recreation pool and competitive pool as well as hot tubs and fountains.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said a project like McGonigle's would take a long time to get started, and 2010 would be a good goal to have all the planning and design finished for an addition. The addition being built onto the recreation center was proposed in spring 2004 and was scheduled to be finished in June, she said.
Chappell said that because the center was built on 6.5 acres of land, there was lots of space to make additions.
"The good thing is that when we built this building, we thought about the future," Chappell said.
She said pools were expensive to build and operate, and McGonigle would have to survey students to find out exactly what they wanted built on the south side of the recreation center. She said pools could also bring in funds for the University, but that it shouldn't forget the primary purpose of the recreation center. The public would pay a fee to use the pool, which would be free for students.
"we have to keep remembering why we're here and who we're for—students are first," Chappell said.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said McGonigle approached him about the option to expand the recreation center. The University currently has a women's swimming and diving team but no men's team. He said the department would not pursue building a pool simply to bring back a men's swimming and diving队.
THE PARKS ARE NOW FURNISHED WITH THE AUTONOMY OF THE BUILDINGS. ALL SUITES CAN BE HIRED IN THE PARKS AND ARE CURRENTLY OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. EACH SUITE IS SUPPLIED WITH AN EXTENSIVE ITEMS AND LAYOUT. ALL SUITES WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE PARKS ON WEEKDAYS FROM 10AM TO 5PM.

better facility."
Marchiony said the department would listen to any ideas, but the proposal for a new pool would have to come
from the students. He said a new pool would help student athletes and the student body in general since Robinson is more than 40 years old, and it would also
attract potential students to campus.

David Padgett left for Louisville and an opportunity to play on the wing. Omar Wilkes transferred to Cal to play closer to home. J.R. Giddens' questionable off-court decisions paved the way for his exodus to New Mexico.
One by one they moved on.
Jeremy Case, the other member of that recruiting class, lasted through all of it and a redshirt year in the 2004-2005 season. It wasn't easy. Case would be lying if he told you thoughts of quitting and leaving Kansas never entered his mind.
"The guys in my class." Case said, "they made me think about it a lot."
Case may not have ever gained a consistent role in his career, but his perseverance paid off in Kansas' 109-51 victory against Texas Tech on Monday. In his last home game, Case, a fifth-year senior, made three three-pointers in a stretch of two minutes and helped turn Kansas' routine romp against the Red Raiders into a record display of senior power.
Case, Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun, Rodrick Stewart and Darnell Jackson went out with a bang, and led the Jayhawks to their largest margin of victory in a conference game ever. The seniors combined for 50 points.
"I got goosebumps," Case said. "I can't even describe it."
Case came to Kansas in 2003 as a member of Roy Williams' final recruiting class. Fans heard how he made 45 percent of his treys in
Somehow, it didn't quite work out for Case. He drew iron or sometimes even nothing at all when he checked into the game for short playing bursts his first season.
That act has continued throughout Case's career. He's never made more than 14 three-pointers in a season, while getting fewer minutes than any scholarship player.
Senior forward Damell Jackson celebrates with freshman center Cole Aldrich after Ardich thrills down a dunk in the first half. Jackson scored 10 points and rabbed nine balls in his final game at Allen Fieldhouse.
Case could've gone to a smaller school and found more playing time, but that's just not the type of person he is. He learned he could help the team through practice and during his limited minutes, so he began to embrace the role. Case didn't want to leave like Padgett, Wilkes and Giddens did.
"Every team is going to have players that don't play as much as they want to play." Kansas coach Bill Self said, "but what gives you a chance to be a great team is if those guys are great teammates. If those guys are great teammates, they get the big picture, and Jeremy certainly gets the big picture."
Case said he couldn't have scripted a better ending to his career at Allen Fieldhouse. His special day began early this morning. Rita Newton, Case's mom, made her son pancakes, eggs and bacon for breakfast — the same meal she makes when he's back home. The day went by slowly for Case until this afternoon. That's when he started getting nervous for his final game.
Case's butterflies showed early. He missed his two three-point attempts and said he felt exhausted after playing the first few

Quintet graduates from the fieldhouse
BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com
Russell Robinson couldn't help it. The emotions were too much. Minutes before Monday's game, Kansas' resident New Yorker listened as his teammates were introduced. Senior by senior, their names were called out. As Robinson watched, the tears started to flow.
"I almost started crying because Russ started crying," senior forward Darnell Jackson said. "I was like, 'Come on Rus, you can't be doing this.' I just told him, 'let it out.'"
Nearly five months after Kansas' five seniors walked into Allen Fieldhouse for Late Night in the Phog decked in tuxedos and white basketball shoes, the quintet exited Allen Fieldhouse the exact same way they came in — together and in style.
In a night dedicated to Kansas' elder statesmen, Kansas' senior quintet put on a show. Every shot seemed like it was destined to find the bottom of the net — and most of them did.
The seniors shot a blistering 17-of-24 from the field and combined for 50

Sophomore pole-vaulter Jordan Scott and senior weight thrower Egor Agafonov managed to accomplish the unheard of with a third consecutive victory last weekend at the Big 12 Conference Championships in Lincoln, Neb.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
"It ites like it did the last two times," Scott said of his third title with a laugh. "It ites great, the feeling of helping the team out so much weighs more than the individual accomplishment."
In addition to Scott and Agafonov's domination, three other Jayhawks brought home Big 12 titles. Senior pole-vaulter Kate Sultanova won her second indoor title in a row, while senior long jumper Crystal Manning won her second Big 12 title and junior spinner Nickhesa Anderson claimed her first title in the 60-meter dash.
Overall, the men finished in 10th while the women finished in third. The women's third place finish is the best in school history and was only two points behind second place Nebraska.
"They competed well and were on a mission," coach Stanley Redwine said of the women. "Some didn't do as well as expected, but then some did better then expected. They really stepped it up and that is a total team effort."
The Jayhawks' pole-vault performances marked the second year in a row they have swept both events.
Defending champions Sultanova and Scott faced added pressure defending their titles.
"The crowd was really into it, which was awesome," he said. "They helped me out, clapping me down the runway. I also knew everyone who
"I like competing under pressure," Scott said. "It gets my adrenaline going more. It's a lot more fun."
Scott said the crowd and other pole-vaulters aided his performance.
"It wasn't a good day for me, but it's good to win," she said. "I was out of energy and I jumped on the third attempt so I was a little bit nervous about it."
performance.
While Scott felt good about his performance, Sultanova wasn't entirely satisfied. Fatigue and a lack of energy hurt her performance.
Despite Manning's disappointment, the indoor and outdoor Big 12 Champion still accomplished her primary goal for the meet.
"The crowd was really into it which was awesome. They helped me out, clapping me down the runway. I also knew everyone who I was jumping with."
Though Manning captured a Big 12 title, she was still dissatisfied with her long jump
"I didn't jump as far as I wanted to," she said. "I wasn't really satisfied. I wasn't very happy."
"I just wanted to give my team 20 points," she said. "That was the promise I made and my goal for myself."
I was jumping with. We're all friends, so it was a good atmosphere."
Anderson was more satisfied with her performance. She ran a career best 7

"I had a good start, and I knew I could win it," she said.
This weekend, many Jayhawks will travel to Ames, Iowa for the Iowa State Invitational. The Invitational will give athletes who haven't qualified for the National Indoor Championships one last chance to get to Fayetteville, Ark. on March 14-15.

>> COMMENTARY
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
By the time Kansas wraps up its regular season Saturday at Texas A&M, the team will have traveled 11.002 miles.
Sure, a trip every once in a while can be fun, but the Jayhawks' adventures outside of Lawrence haven't been all fun and games. The road has been tough on Kansas and the rest of its Big 12 Conference brethren.
Only two Big 12 teams, Kansas and Texas, have won more than half of their in-conference road contests, Iowa State and Colorado have yet to notch a Big 12 road victory. As a whole, visitors have won just 31 percent of the time in conference play.
Compare that figure to the road winning percentage in the Atlantic Coast Conference, a league revered for its feisty fans and unforgiving venues. In the ACC, teams win 40 percent of the time on the road.
What about the deepest conference in America, the Pac-103 Forty-five percent.
Big East travelers have triumphed in 36 percent of their games and Big Ten road teams skate by 38 percent of the time. The SEC (33 percent) comes closest to the Big 12 in terms of road woes, but Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia drag its figure down with their combined 0-21 road record.
So what's to blame for all the losing Big 12 teams are doing away from home?
Last week, Kansas coach Bill Self turned to biology in an attempt to explain the difficulty of adjusting to new and foreign surroundings.
"There's been books actually written on all different types of species — how they act in their own environment and when you take them out of their environment," Self said. "Whether it be ants, whether it be lions, whether it be birds, whether it be basketball players, whether it be whatever
"It's amazing — you take a group of fire ants and move them into a totally different environment, and you put four sticks around the environment, all of them are scared to cross the stick. In their own envi-
onment, you put the four sticks there, and they go wherever they want to go."
But Kansas State and its raucous fans put an end to all that is true. 20, 15
All references to the movement patterns of ants aside, the animal kingdom example makes perfect sense. Think back to late January. Kansas was rolling unmercifully through its schedule, trouncing Nebraska by 35 points and Iowa State by 24.
put an end to all that on Jan. 30. Kansas entered Bramlage Coliseum a perfect 20-0 and the talk of the nation. When the Jayhawks took the court under a steady downpour of unprintable verbal barbs, they looked like visitors often do — impatient, out-of-sorts and intimidated.
The Jayhawks' road-initiated funk lasted through February, but the start of March brought things full-circle. The same Kansas State Wildcats who impressively dispatched the Jayhawks at Bramlage visited Allen Fieldhouse last weekend and the tables turned in a big way. The Kansas student section offered Kansas State an ear-shattering reminder of how difficult leaving home in the Big 12 can be, as the Jayhawks rode the electric atmosphere to a 14-point victory.
Since the disaster in Manhattan, the Jayhawks have split their four road games, falling to Texas and Oklahoma State in one-possession games and defeating Colorado and Iowa State by thinner-than-expected margins.
What's puzzling is that even arenas without the tradition or reputation of Allen Fieldhouse have been tough on visitors. Nebraska is better than .500 on the not-so-hallowed court of the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Texas Tech draws bigger crowds to United Spirit Arena for women's games than for men, but the Red Raiders are 6-1 against conference foes at home.
"Who knows why people are just more comfortable at home? Crowd, energy. I have no idea." Self said. "I don't think it's just college basketball, I think its life in general. The best teams figure that out and find a way to get it done away from home."
At 4-3 in road conference games ane 7-3 away from Lawrence overall, it seems Kansas might be one of the few teams in the Big 12 that knows how to compete on the road. Problem is, if Kansas falls once the NCAA tournament rolls around, there won't be another home game to fall back on.

NEW YORK — Chris Paul scored 27 points and had a hand in three clutch baskets in the final minutes, leading the New Orleans Hornets to a 100-88 victory against the New York Knicks on Monday night.
Tyson Chandler added 15 points and 18 rebounds for the Hornets, who sent the Knicks (18-42) to their seventh straight losing season. They did it by controlling the final minutes behind Paul,
who finished with eight assists, five rebounds and three steals.
The Hornets pulled within one and a half games of Southwest Division leader San Antonio, which is percentage points ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers for the best record in the Western Conference. New Orleans is third.

He was charged with possession of a controlled substance and released from jail Sunday after posting a $2,500 bond.
Thomas slipped to the fourth round of last year's draft because of off-field problems. He had been considered a potential first-round pick.
Thomas and the driver were arrested early Saturday after police received a call from the Florida Highway Patrol asking them to
look for a pickup with a driver who might be impaired.
In a letter dated Feb. 21, Athena Nightclub owner Rashid A. Kikhia said he "is no longer operating a nightclub" and is in the process of "reorganizing the business on all levels, including management, cooks, delivery drivers and servers."
[Helping Kansas students make it to Spring Break since 1972]
The police report said both men denied any knowledge of the cocaine. Police also said a semiautomatic pistol was seen inside the glove compartment.
Thomas lawyer, Charles Truncale, said police found a small bag of what appeared to be a "trace amount" of cocaine and his client "did not possess it."

"Nor did he have any knowledge of it, until the stop of the vehicle," Truncale said.
Missouri basketball players Stefhon Hannah and Jason Horton got in a fight outside the nightclub on Jan. 27 with two employees of an adjacent restaurant owned by Kikhia. Hannah had complained about poor service.
Both players were later charged with third-degree misdemeanor assault. They were scheduled to appear in Boone County court Monday for an arraignment but their attorneys waived the procedure.
He was kicked off the team, while Horton served a brief suspension but continues to play for the Tigers.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Coaches guess how many NCAA bids
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Big 12 has an RPI rating that's second in the country, nine teams already boasting at least 16 wins and the nation's best winning percentage against ranked outsiders.
So what would be a realistic number of NCAA bids for the Big 12?
"Realistic? Six," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I think that's very realistic."
"This has got to be a league I think that needs to get at least six teams in the NCAA and four to the NIT," the Texas Tech coach Rick Barnes said Monday. "I think it's a league where 10 teams should be considered for both the NCAA and NIT. There are some teams people haven't been aware of and now they're in the mix. That means those coaches have done a good job of building up that program. We have to be one of the top two leagues in the country"
Figuring postseason berths as a whole, Pat Knight will see Self's six and raise him four.
The Big 12 received six NCAA bids when it had the No. 2 RPI rating in 2003 and five when it was No. 2 in 1997.
Rudy's
Going into the final regular season week, Kansas and Texas are tied atop the Big 12 standings at 13-3.
"Every year you hear coaches talk about the league being as balanced as it's ever been," Barnes said. "But when you look around ... our league has gotten better, Texas Tech is a better team than when they played us here. The same can be said about Nebraska, about Oklahoma State. We all know that regardless of what outside people think, there's not a gimme in this league. If you don't play, you're going to get beat."
Self said the Big 12 has been penalized in tournament selection when its RPI has been low.
The ACC is first in RPI rating, while the Pac-10 is third and the Big East is fourth. But adding to the Big 12's argument is that it has a winning record against every one of them.

WOMEN'S BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Teams need strong finish in final week

No one would have been surprised to see Baylor go to College Station and lose to a talented Texas A&M squad, but a loss by a 19-point margin is a little surprising. The Bears stay in the top spot in the Big 12 because of their head to head result with Kansas State.

No. 19 Kansas State 20-8 [12-3]

This week: at Kansas
Kansas State is quietly putting itself in position to win a Big 12 Championship if Baylor stumbles against Oklahoma State. Their successful conference season speaks volumes about the presence of junior forward Marlies Gipson in the lineup night in and night out. The Wildcats rode her play to a victory against the Jayhawks in Manhattan, and the result should be no different on Wednesday.
THREE (2)
No. 11 Oklahoma 21-6 [11-4]
Last week: at Texas Tech (W), Texas (L)
This week: at Texas A&M
OU
Oklahoma couldn't keep pace with Kansas State, and the 15-point loss to their rivals is especially disappointing. Now the Sooners' focus should be on taking care of the Aggies, the hottest team in the Big 12. If Oklahoma loses to Texas A&M, they could be looking at missing out on a first round bye in the Big 12 tournament, something nobody could have imagined a week ago.
FOUR (5)
No.17 Texas A&M 22-7 [10-5]

Nobody wants to play the Aggies now or in the Big 12 Tournament. The team that won the Big 12 title last season has finally re-emerged from their first half slump. Last week's victories don't get much more impressive, and junior forward Danielle Gant proves she may be the most unstoppable player in the conference.

Oklahoma State beat Baylor by 10 in Stillwater in early February, but with the Bears one victory away from clinching a Big 12 Championship at home, sophomore guard Andrea Riley and the Cowgirls will have to be on top of their game. A loss could also cost Oklahoma State a bye in the Big 12 Tournament. It had one sewed up.

Raiders at home and perform well in the Big 12 Tournament. If Texas can pull it off, there could be eight Big 12 teams in the big dance later this month.

An undefeated week couldn't have come at a better time for the Cyclones. They may be grinding out wins while scoring in the 50s, but there aren't many teams that can hold sophomore guard Alison Lacey and freshman guard Kelsey Bolte for an entire game. This week's game in Lincoln will be important in the battle for Big 12 Tournament seeding.

Colorado 15-13 [4-11]
Last week: at Baylor (L), at Nebraska (L)
This week: Missouri
The first of three teams with nearly identical records, the Buffaloes are just hoping to avoid a matchup with the fifth seeded team in the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City. Missouri can't win away from home so that shouldn't be too difficult, but stranger things have happened and Colorado certainly doesn't have momentum on its side.

SURPRISE, Ariz. — John Bale made his case for a spot in the Kansas City rotation Monday, giving up no hits in three scoreless innings as the Royals rallied for a 7-6 win over the Chicago White Sox.
The Royals told Bale, who was used exclusively out of the bullpen last year, to be ready to compete for a rotation job when he came to spring training. Bale made 25 starts in 2004 for Hiroshima in the Japan League, but has primarily been a reliever since.
Nebraska is another team coaches won't want to see
"Today felt familiar to me," Bale said. "It's been '04 since I did it. Today made me feel like I can do this. I'm very happy with today, even more than last time. I was able to throw my secondary pitches for strikes whenever I wanted. My change-up was working real effectively. Everything just flowed really well."
Bale struck out four and allowed
"All the strikeouts were on off-speed pitches." Bale said. "Two were on change-ups and two were on breaking balls. It's fun getting strikeouts on fastballs, but when you can put your off-speed where you want it and get the guys offbalance, that's a good feeling, too."
only one base runner, hitting jeff Liefer with a pitch in the second inning.
Manager Trey Hillman praised Bale's second exhibition start.
"Johnny did a great job," Hillman said. "He had a plus change-up, his breaking ball wasn't as sharp today, but he made up for it with the deceptiveness, not only to the fast-ball but the change-up as well.
"Watch the hitter and the swings, there were not very good swings off of him."
Sophomore guard Danielle McCray should be a Big 12 second-team selection and freshman center Krysten Boogaard has an outside chance at an all-freshman spot, but many Jayhawks underachieved after promising seasons last year.
White Sox starter John Danks held the Royals to one unearned run on two hits in three innings, while striking out three and walking none.

minutes of the game. But in the second half, as Max Falkenstein said after the game, Case found the zone.
Kansas led 77-36 with 10:31 left in the game. Case proceeded to make a three-pointer on three of the jayhawks' next four possessions. After he sunk his last long ball, he handed out two assists. The run sparked by Case extended the KU lead to 93-40 with 7:14 remaining.
Kansas played brilliantly on offense all night. The Jayhawks scored a season-high 109 points, made 14 three-pointers and shot an absurd 59.7 percent for the game. Heck, the walk-ons came in with about six minutes left and still ran up the score.
"I could've taken Kobe tonight," Robinson said, referring to Lakers star Kobe Bryant. "Brennan Bechard could've taken Kobe tonight. Everybody was playing today."
The energy level was high for the second game in a row. Self talked earlier this season about peaking at the right time, in late February and early March. After back-to-back solid performances, Kansas might be doing just that.
"Just in this six day stretch," Self said, "we've looked like a totally different team."
Regardless of how much he plays in the next month, Case knows the end of his final season will be special. He's glad he stuck around through the tough times. Now, Case said he was happy to have years of memories and connections that would help him make it in his planned coaching career.
"I'm going to always be a Jayhawk," Case said. "It's in my blood now."
That's something all five seniors can say. Self said this class, the first one he's ever coached from the beginning to end at any of his coaching stops, matured in times of adversity to turn into one of the most successful classes in school history.
"To see them go through tough times," Self said, "and rally around each other, I take great pride in that...We couldn't have a better group of guys to represent us."

KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR ckeefer@kansan.com
Russell Robinson's parents were nervous.
Theresa and Russell Robinson, Sr., who traveled from New York to be at Kansas' senior night, thought they may have worn out their son by constantly hanging around him the last few days.
Turns out Russell, Jr., wasn't the least bit tired. In fact, he was the one that exhausted the Texas Tech Red Raiders by leading Kansas to a 109-51 victory in his final game at Allen Fieldhouse.
You could see it in Robinson's eyes from the beginning. When the Jayhawk seniors were introduced at the start of the night, the other four seniors laughed and smiled.
Not Robinson. Behind the tears flowing down Robinson's face was a look of determination and finality. His lips were sealed and his eye brows stretched up to his forehead.
"It hit me," Robinson said. "It hit me that this was my last game. It is the last time I'll be out there."
He scored a team-high 15 points on a perfect five-for-five from the field. He also nailed three three-pointers and distributed three assists. Robinson said he could have guarded Kobe Bryant last night. The combination of offensive precision and defensive efficiency helped Robinson tear apart the Red Raiders like a long-distance relationship.
"That was a great way to go out," Robinson said. "It is definitely one I will remember - probably the one I will remember the most."
There's no disputing that
senior night belonged to senior guard Jeremy Case. For one night,
Case, who scored nine points on three three-pointers, was Allen Fieldhouse's favorite javhawk.
But without Robinson, Case would have never received the opportunity to make the raffers rumble. Robinson made sure all of his teammates got an opportunity to check into the game by putting away the Red Raiders at the beginning of the second half. Down by 23 at halftime, it was going to take a miracle for Texas Tech to get back in the game. Robinson made sure that didn't happen. He scored eight points in just more than two
minutes before checking out and watching his teammates continue the thumping.
There are quite a few point guards in America, North Carolina's Tyvon Lawson and Texas' DJ. Augustin come to mind, that are more talented than Robinson. Heck, there is probably one, sophomore Sherron Collins, on his team who's more skilled.
But none of those guys mean close to as much to their team as Robinson does to the Jayhawks. A two-time recipient of the "Mr. Jayhawk" award, Robinson embodies everything Kansas coach Bill Self wants his program to be. No
one competes, works or adjusts their role better than Robinson. And when Robinson gets that look in his eyes, Kansas isn't going to lose.
"Hopefully, if everything goes according to plan we could be back here making another speech in a couple of weeks," Robinson said at the end of his senior speech.
He is, of course, alluding to winning a national championship. If Robinson can play like he did against the Red Raiders, anything's possible.

points.
In his last game at Allen Fieldhouse, Robinson never hesitated and led Kansas' scoring barrage with 15 points. Kansas' floor leader didn't miss, shooting 5-of-5 from the field.
"I was feeling it." Robinson said.
That was just the opening act. Jackson displayed his soft shoot

Sensational Senior Nights
A legend watching
ing touch to the tune of 10 points, and banged around Texas Tech's big men inside.
Well, a North Carolina high school basketball legend at least. Buzz Peterson, who was a more prized recruit out of high school than Michael
Sasha Kaun, with his mom in the stands, returned to the starting lineup and added 10 points.
It's been a while since Kansas last lost on a Senior Night. Back in 1982, the Jayhawks fell to Iowa State 63-61. That team, coached by Ted Owens, finished with a 13-14 record. Since then, Kansas has won 26 straight.
Then it was Jeremy Case's turn to heat up.
Jordan, watched the game as director of player personnel for the Charlotte Bobcats. Peterson played college basketball at North Carolina and later laced at Appalachian State, Tulsa and Tennessee. He took over at Tulsa after Bill Self left for Illinois.
Great communication
Self was very pleased with all five seniors' speeches after the game. "I told them writers for Bush, McCain, Obama or Clinton couldn't have done any better."
After missing on his first few attempts, Case finally rattled a three-pointer home with 9:53 to play in the second half. Case's father, Win, rose to his feet and slapped high-fives with Rodrick Stewart's father, Andrew.
"I got goosebumps," Case said after the game.
Moments later, Case did it again, draining a three-pointer from the left wing. He added another one, and then Stewart brought the house down with a three-pointer of his own.
One of Pat Knight's assistant coaches leaned over and asked Texas Tech's coach if he wanted a time-out. Knight just shrugged and shook his head no.
Self said this is the first senior class he's ever recruited and seen all the way through.
Not even time-outs could stop Kansas's seniors on this night.
"Seniors usually play pretty well on senior night," Self said. "That's the way it should be."
"I normally don't get emotional

First Half
PRIME
7:06 - Texas Tech guard John Roberson knocks down a wide open three-pointer from the top of the arc. He converts on an identical shot 30 seconds later to bring Texas Tech within eight of Kansas.The Jayhawks respond by going on a 21-2 run to end the first half.
With 2:43 left, and Kansas leading 101-48, Bill Self reinserted his seniors for one final encore. One minute later, the quintet came off one-by-one and took one final bow. Robinson, the two-time Mr. Jayhawk award winner, walked off the Allen Fieldhouse floor for the final time and gave Self a bear-
publicly. "Self said. "But 1 almost choked up before the game"
5:54 - Sophomore guard Sherron Collins attempts to lob the ball to freshman center Cole Aldrich for an alley-oop. The pass lacks enough height for that to happen but Aldrich pulls it down anyway and goes over a Red Raider for a goal-shaking slam.
Second Half
2:57 - Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur grabs a rebound below the north basket. He looks up to find a streaking senior guard Russell Robinson at the other side of the court. Arthur winds up and throws a baseball-pass, which Robinson turns into two easy points.
5 seconds - Junior guard Mario Chalmers drives into the lane and goes up for a shot before Texas Tech forward D'walyn Roberts and center Esmir Rizvic cut him off. With his back to the basket, Chalmers tosses the ball to Arthur, who slams it home. The two run off the court laughing at the bizarre nature of the play.
17:30 Junior guard Brandon Rush loses his shoe. Rush still manages to pick up a loose ball and bring it down to the other side of the floor. He fails to make a wide-open three but doesn't slow down a step for more than 30 seconds without a shoe.
10:31 D-walyn Roberts sees an opening and takes the ball to the paint. He doesn't see Cole Aldrich, though. Aldrich elevates well above the rim and ferociously swats Roberts shot toward press row.
8:19 - Senior guard Jeremy Case nails his third three-pointer in less than two minutes. Case last scored in January against Nebraska, three games ago. But tonight, he receives a deafening applause from the Allen Field-house fans.
3:56 - Walk-on senior Brad Witherpoon drives down the baseline but is fouled. Witherpoon displays calmness from the charity stripe and hits both free-throws. The two points are Witherpoon's only points of the year and brings his career total to four points.

the HIGH low HIGHS
Russell Robinson Sr.
Senior night at Kansas is always special: the roses, the tears, the speeches and the fans. But something else impressed former Jayhawks' player Wayne Simien, who visited Allen Fieldhouse for the Colorado game on Feb. 16. "They're all going to graduate" Simien said
Yep, Robinson, Stewart, Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun will join Jeremy Case as KU graduates. Case graduated last spring.
Junior guard Russell Robinson finished with 15 points, but it was his dad who was the happiest man in the house. Russell Robinson Sr., a spitting image of his son, sat sevens row behind the Texas Tech bench and never stopped smiling.
The Red Panda Acrobat
Sure the basketball is great, but the half-time act alone is always well worth the price of admission. Monday was no exception. This act had me hooked at "Unicycle bowl flipping."The High/Low is always down for anything that includes a unicycle, an acrobat, and flipping cereal bowls on you're head with your feet.
LOWS
Possible Parent Trap?
Forget Senior Night for a minute. Senior guard Rodrick Stewart and his twin brother Lodrick Stewart could have really made things interesting on Monday night. Lodrick, who finished his playing career last season, sat 10 rows behind the Texas Tech bench. But don't you wish Rod and Lod would' have reenacted the movie, the Parent Trap? Imagine a scenario where Lodrick posed as Rodrick, and Rod comes out of the stands to give his senior speech. Wouldn't that be the top sports prank of all-time?
Missing the General
No offense to Pat Knight, but couldn't have his father, Bob, waited to coach in Allen Fieldhouse one more time before leaving the sideline. Knight resigned from Texas Tech on Feb. 5, and who doesn't already miss his white hair and black sweater vest?

Robby Gordon's wreck lowers his standing

BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASCAR driver Robby Gordon drives his car during the NASCAR Sprint Cup series UAW-Dodge 400 auto race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday. An accident caused Gordon to finish 42nd, just one spot ahead of Tony Stewart, but unlike Stewart, the outcome sent Gordon plummeting in the points standings to 37th.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Most of the attention was on Tony Stewart when he limped away from a hard wreck at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
And as the two-time NASCAR champion explained how the hit left him with a tingling sensation in his legs, few people even noticed that Robby Gordon had just pulled his crippled race car into the garage.
For Gordon, the accident could be another blow to his reeling race team.
Neither driver was hurt, but the long-term effects aren't equal.
Their accidents were similar: Both drivers had a tire fail, causing their cars to slam hard into the wall.
The accident caused Gordon to finish 42nd on Sunday, just one spot ahead of Stewart. But unlike Stewart, the outcome sent Gordon plummeting in the points standings to 37th.
Now he needs a near-miracle to prevent a season that started with so much promise from imploding. NASCAR's last independent owner driver goes on an appeals committee on Wednesday desperately needing relief from a recent penalty that could destroy his race team.
His odds aren't good: In the 96 hearings held over the past eight years, The National Stock Car Racing Commission upheld 66 decisions. In two instances, the original penalty was increased.
The original penalty was reduced 20 times and the penalties were overturned just eight times — including a ruling on Monday that gives Gordon some hope. In a 2-1 decision, the three-member panel overturned penalties levied against Rusty Wallace racing that included a six-race suspension and $15,000 fine for crew chief Steve Darne
because of an infraction found on the Nationwide Series car of David Stremme.
Still, Gordon has a hard fight ahead over an un-approved front bumper on his brand new Dodge when he reported to the season-opening Daytona 500. The infraction cost him 100 points in the standings, while his crew chief was suspended six races and fined $100,000.
But Gordon insists the penalty hardly fits the crime.
"We're going to jail for a crime we didn't commit," he said.
The incident has marked a tough two months for Gordon, the stubbornly lovable lone wolf of NASCAR who insists on doing everything his very own way.
So when terrorist threats led.
to the January cancellation of the Dakar Rally, costing Robby Gordon Motorsports more than $4 million in personal losses, he had to scramble to get his race team on solid footing. It meant quickly putting an alliance together with Gillett Evernham Motorsports that required him to move from Ford to Dodge the week before teams reported to Daytona.
With just a few days to make the transition, his team scrambled to build him race cars and used whatever parts the manufacturer sent his way.
Gordon said the un-approved bumper came from Dodge, and with zero familiarity in the new equipment, the team had no way of knowing the part had yet to receive NASCAR's approval for competition.
NASCAR had little wiggle room on the issue. Since implementing a zero tolerance policy on modifications to the Car of Tomorrow, the sanctioning body has ruled with an iron fist on teams that run afoul of the inspectors.
"It was something that we didn't build, we don't fix, we didn't supply," he said. "It was a clerical error from the manufacturer and all we did was install it actually on the race car ... it's almost like you put yourself in a position that if someone steals your car and robs a bank, but because it was your car, you're going to jail."
That's the case Gordon will make Wednesday to a three-member panel that will hear his appeal.

Patriots receiver stays loyal to team
The defending AFC champions re-signed the record-breaking receiver on Monday to a three-year deal worth $27 million, his agent said. The signing was confirmed by the team shortly after Moss posted a message to fans on his Web site.
BOSTON — Randy Moss is staying with the New England Patriots.
Moss' agent, Tim DiPiero, said the deal included guarantees of $15 million, including a $12 million signing bonus to the receiver who set an NFL record with 23 touchdown catches and helped the Patriots reach the Super Bowl in his first season with the team.
"I want to take time out to thank all of the fans for their support and for wishing me well in my return to New England," therealrandymoss. com quotes him as saying. "I'm ready to get back. We have some unfinished business to take care of."
Pairing Moss with NFL MVP Tom Brady, who broke the league record with 50 touchdown passes, the Patriots breezed through the regular season with a perfect 16-0 record. They improved to an unprecedented 18-0 before blowing a chance at the league's longest unbeaten season with a 17-14 Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants.
"Randy was serious about wanting to stay," DiPiero wrote in an e-mail. "Because of Randy's record-breaking year, the interest in him was very high. Randy took less than he could have to rejoin his teammates."
"What Randy did for our team last year was outstanding," Patriots coach Bill Belchick said in a statement. "He is one of our most consistent, competitive and team-oriented players and it is undoubtedly a relationship we are excited to continue."
A four-time All-Pro, Moss took a pay cut to get out of Oakland and come to New England last April in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick. In addition to his 23 touchdowns, he caught 98 passes for 1,493 yards and largely avoided the type of turmoil that characterized his previous NFL stops.
Moss, 31, has caught 774 passes for 12,193 yards in a 10-year career, and his 124 career receiving touchdowns are fourth in NFL history.
During seven years with Minnesota, where he made five Pro Bowls, he was fined $10,000 for pretending to pull down his pants and moon the Green Bay crowd during a Vikings playoff win, and drew criticism for leaving the field with 2 seconds left in a loss to Washington.
He also bumped a traffic control officer with his car in 2002, verbally abused corporate sponsors on a team bus in 2001 and squirted an official with a water bottle in 1999.
In Oakland, he openly campaigned to be traded to a winning team. With the Patriots, he avoided controversy until the playoffs, when a woman sought a restraining order against him, claiming that he committed "battery causing serious injury."
Moss denied the allegation and said the woman was trying to get money from him.
Also, Monday, the Patriots signed free agent receiver Sam Aiken.
The 27-year-old has played five seasons with the Buffalo Bills with 19 career receptions for 250 yards and 61 career special teams tackles.
"Competing against Sam many times over the years, we know first-hand what he brings to us," Belichick said.
NASCAR
LAS VEGAS — The celebration of Carl Edwards' second consecutive victory was short-lived: His winning Ford Fusion failed a postrace inspection at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that could lead to severe penalties for his team.
NASCAR officials discovered the lid was not on the oil tank box of his race-winning car and the parts are going back to North Carolina for further inspection.
BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Infraction threatens Edward's stellar season
Just last month, five Nationwide Series crew chiefs were suspended for six races, finned $15,000 each and their drivers were docked 25 points apiece because their lids were simply loose.
Bob Osborne, crew chief for the No. 99 Ford, declined comment on NASCAR's discovery.
Edwards won for the second time in six days — he also won the rainpostponed event at California on Monday — and moved to the top of the points standings for the first time in his career.
But the infraction could spoil what's been a stellar start to the season for Edwards and that team.
He has a 21-point lead over Kyle Busch.
"We do this to win," Edwards said.
"Winning these races is the greatest.
To win in Vegas, Edwards had to overcome an early pit road penalty, escape NASCAR punishment on a second pit road mishap, then hold off a rusty Dale Earnhardt Jr. on a pair of late restarts Sunday.
For Edwards, it seemed like a return to his 2005 form, when he finished third in the series standings.
Winning a championship would be the ultimate. What we're trying to do is win the championship this year. That's our No. 1 goal."
It was the sixth victory for team owner Jack Roush in 11 races at Las Vegas, and it ended Jimmie Johnson's string of three straight wins in the desert.
"I think we are close to the form we were in 2005 when it seemed like a Roush Fenway car would win every week," Edwards said.
Edwards was penalized early in the race when one of his tires rolled away from the team during a pit stop.
He then caught a break when it happened a second time, escaping a penalty because NASCAR determined the tire broke free because a television cameraman shooting from inside the box interfered with the crew members.

Sports publication leaves St. Louis for the south
》 PRESS
BY JIM SALTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — After 122 years in St. Louis, Sporting News magazine is heading south.
The publication once known as the "Bible of Baseball" for its devotion to box scores and statistics is moving to Charlotte, N.C., home to its parent company, American City Business Journals. Last summer, online operations for SportingNews.com, previously housed in both New York and St. Louis, were consolidated in Charlotte.
The move was announced Friday by Ray Shaw, chairman of American Cities. Several calls and e-mails to Sporting News and American City officials were not returned on Monday.
The loss isn't a major one economically for St. Louis — Sporting News employs just a few dozen people who work out of an office building in suburban Chesterfield
Sporting News quickly emerged as a favorite for hard-core baseball fans, who turned to the publication for box scores, game summaries, even minor league coverage.
But the loss of the respected publication long a part of the St. Louis journalism community is certainly a blow to the psyche of the region.
Sporting News was founded by Alfred H. Spink as an eight-page broadsheet in 1886. Spink was a former newspaper writer and a director of the St. Louis Brown's.
Sporting News switched to a tabloid format in 1943, originally as part of the effort to conserve paper during World War II. It didn't print a color picture until 1967, a shot of baseball's Frank Robinson.
Regular coverage of pro football didn't begin until 1942. Basketball and hockey were added that winter.
In recent years, competition has increased significantly with the arrival of ESPN Magazine and
In 1997, then-owner Times Mirror Co. spent millions to update Sporting News to an all-color magazine. More dramatically, the makeover shifted focus to the NFL, though the magazine continued to cover baseball, hockey, basketball, college football and, eventually, NASCAR.
Internet pages and blogs devoted to sports. Sporting News long ago dropped box scores that are now readily available on the Web.
- Times Mirror sold Sporting News to Vulcan Inc., a holding company owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, in 2000. In 2006, American Cities purchased the publication for an undisclosed sum.
American Cities, which has not said when the move will take place, is a unit of Advance Publications Inc. It owns more than 40 weekly business newspapers, including the St. Louis Business Journal.

Rams gain offensive guard in former Titan
>> NFL
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams filled a pressing offseason need on Monday night, signing free agent offensive guard Jacob Bell to a six-year contract.
The 6-foot-4, 295-pound Bell played for the Titans the last four seasons after being a fourth-round draft pick of Tennessee in 2004. He started all 16 games at left guard last season and has made 46 career starts and played in 55 games in four seasons.
The Rams finished the year with three offensive line starters on injured reserve, a major reason
for the team's offensive struggles in a 3-13 season. The Rams totaled 263 points, the franchise's lowest total since 1993.
Much of the season, the team filled in with retreads. A top backup, Todd Steusie, couldn't be plugged into the lineup until late in the season after breaking his foot in the preseason.
Seven-time Pro - Bowl tackle Orlando Pace was lost for the season with a torn labrum and torn rotator cuff sustained in the season opener, and Mark Setterstrom and Richie Incognito were sidelined with knee injuries.
There's uncertainty surrounding Pace, who has finished the last two seasons on injured reserve.

Chris Young hardly labored in his first spring training outing. The All-Star ace will leave that part to his wife.
On Tuesday, his wife, Liz, was to be induced into labor with the couple's first child. The birth was to take place in Scottsdale, Ariz.
"The doctor's been awesome," Young said. "We sat down and went over my pitching schedule. My next outing is on Friday and Friday is actually the due date, the seventh, so he's going to induce and she'll be here a couple of days early"
Young, who hit an RBI single and earned the win, said his daughter will be named Catherine Elizabeth. He said his wife is more than ready for the baby.
As for the child, they haven't decided what sports she'll play yet.
"I think she's so uncomfortable, she's more than happy to accommodate," he said.
"You would expect her to be a pretty good athlete, but we're not going to put any pressure on her," he said. "I just hope she takes after her mom and she's smart."
Mike Cameron, who played with the Padres last year and then signed with Milwaukee in the offseason, had a prediction for Young.
"They're going to have like a 7-footer that can swim," Cameron said.

Leadoff hitter helps team tie for first at tournament
BY SHAWN SHROYER shrover@kansan.com
shroyer@kansan.com
In the fourth inning of Kansas' game at the Music City Classic on Sunday, Nick Fauce hit a fly ball down the right field line as Iowa's right fielder dived for the ball and missed it. Fauce, thinking the ball
Enrico
was foul, paused coming out of the batter's box.
The umpire closest to the ball called it fair and Faunce, junior center fielder, had to settle for a double, rather than the sure triple he
would have had if hed sprinted from the start. The Jayhawks tied for first in the three-day Music City Classic
Last season in the rubber match against Missouri, the Jayhawks' starting right fielder, Brock Simpson, couldn't muster the enthusiasm to run out a first-inning, infield popup.
Infuriated
"The umpire gave me some leniency", Faurie said.
every day", Price said. "He's an engineering major and he's a really good student. We hope he'll learn from those kind of mistakes and see if he can eliminate them."
The truth is, even though Faunce had a Simpsonian slipup Sunday, he's doing what Simpson failed to do for Kansas last season.
Inflated by Simpson's lack of hustle, Kansas coach Ritch Price told Simpson he could stay on the bench for the rest of the game and sent then-sophomore Faunce in to replace Simpson.
In 2007, Price gave Simpson every opportunity to be Kansas' leadoff hit, but Simpson seemed content at just being a regular starter. Starting all but two games for Kansas, he posted a .256 batting average, .382 slugging percentage and .346 on-base percentage.
In Faunce's defense, he still wasn't sure the ball was foul after the game because he wasn't sure the umpire had made the right call.
"I just feel like I'm trying to be a role player for this team. My goal every time I get to the plate is trying to start off an inning for us."
But, unlike that situation, Faune wasn't relegated to the pine. During his four years at Kansas, Faune has earned the benefit of the doubt from his coach. Price knows the mistakes Faune makes aren't a result of indifference.
"He continues to make some mental mistakes. The thing about it, he gives you everything he's got
NICK FAUNCE Center fielder
In Simpson's absence, Faunce has stepped up as a dependable outfielder and leadoff hitter for the Jayhawks and is already becoming a sparkplug for the team by getting on base and getting the rally started.
"I'm really happy for him," Price said. "He's one of the hardest workers on my team. He's deserved an opportunity to play and he's making the most of it. He's waited four years, you know."
After taking a redshirt his first year at Kansas and appearing mostly as a defensive replacement and pinch runner his last two seasons. Faunce has flourished thus far as a full-time starter.
Through seven games at the start of the season, Faunce's 11 hits. 440 average and 548 on-base percentage
are the best on the team. And it's probably no coincidence the Kansas offense has looked impressive when he's at his best.
In the last two games of the Music City Classic, Faunce went a combined 5-for-9 with a walk, five runs and two RBI. The Jayhawks followed suit, scoring a total of 21 runs in those games.
"I just feel like I'm trying to be a role player for this team," Faunce said. "My goal every time I get to the plate is trying to start off an inning for us."
But Faune doesn't make a big deal out of it.
That's just what Faunce did on Sunday. Of his career-high four hits, three came when he was leading off an innning. His fourth, a bunt single, showed his versatility.
But, again, they were nothing special to Faunce.
"You can never really expect to get four hits, so I was just trying to put better swings together, limit my strikeouts, stay inside the ball and hit some balls to the right," Faune said. "I didn't get great swings on them, but I put them in play and good things happen when I do that."

Teams scramble toward postseason
TUCSON, Ariz. — In many years, Arizona, Kentucky, Maryland and Syracuse would be a strong Final Four.
This year, it might be the NIT Final Four.
As the regular season winds down and conference tournaments tip off, the Terrapins, Orange and Wildcats — the Arizona and Kentucky varieties — are in bubble trouble.
If pedigree were all that matters, they'd have nothing to worry about on Selection Sunday. But while these powerhouses are long on tradition, at the moment they're short on victories.
Kentucky's Ramon Harris drives against Tennessee's Tyler Smith during the first half of a game Saturday in Knoxville, Tenn. Tennessee won. 63-60.
"We are in desperation mode now," Arizona forward Chase Budinger said.
Arizona has reached the NCAA tournament 23 straight years, the nation's longest active streak.
KENTUCKY

Kentucky has played in a record 48 NCAA tournaments, with seven titles and 13 Final Four appearances.
Maryland and Syracuse have each won national titles in this decade.
》COLLEGE BASKETBALL
They aren't the only big names sweating the stretch run. Florida (21-8, 8-6 SEC), the two-time defending national champion, has lost five of eight and has few notable victories.
KU
Ohio State (17-12, 8-8 Big Ten), which reached the national final last spring, beat the Gators in December but has lost five of its last six.
"I just want to play through the rest of the season and see what they say," O'Neill said. "I doubt there are 64 teams better than us, but we will see."
Kentucky (16-11, 10-4 SEC) is going in the other direction. After a 7-9 start, including an unthinkable loss to Gardner-Webb, the Wildcats looked as if they had no prayer of making the tournament.
Even so, interim coach Kevin O'Neill believes his team deserves strong consideration from NCAA selectors.
The Wildcats will finish the regular season at lastplace Oregon State and Oregon this weekend. The Wildcats split with those teams in January.
"We know we've got to win some games to get in the tournament," Florida freshman forward Adam Allen said Monday. "Nobody wants to go to the NIT. It's like the champion of the losers if you win that."
Start with the Arizona Wildcats (17-12, 7-9 Pac-10), who have picked a bad time to hit the skids. They've lost six of their last seven and were swept over the weekend by USC and No. 4 UCLA at McKale Center, their once-impregnable home.
Allen was talking about the Gators, but he could have been speaking for all the elite teams scrambling to improve their tourney resumes.
But with nine wins in their last 11 games, they're closing with a rush, and on Saturday they threw a scare

63-60 in Knoxville.
The last time the Wildcats were eligible and failed to qualify for the NCAAs was in 1988-89, when they went 13-19 in Eddie Sutton's last year.
To put that into perspective, Patterson was born on March 14, 1989, four days after Kentucky ended its season with a loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament.
"I know they can win these games without me," Patterson said. "I know they can play because if they couldn't, they wouldn't be here. We have total confidence in ourselves and our teammates."
The Wildcats have lost freshman Patrick Patterson, their No. 2 scorer and leading rebounder, for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
The Wildcats went 22-6 but stayed home because they were on NCAA probation.
Kentucky visits South Carolina on Wednesday and wraps up the regular season against Florida on Sunday.
Kentucky last missed the NCAA tournament in 1991, Rick Pitino's second season in Lexington — and it wasn't because of performance.

Syracuse (17-12, 7-9 Big East), the 2003 national champs, blew an 11-point second half lead to Pitt on Saturday and gave the game away with a turnover under their own basket in the final seconds.
It was the fifth loss in six games for Syracuse, which will try to bounce back at Seton Hall on Wednesday night.

Students get chance to ask Senators questions
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
Students will have the chance to submit questions to student body presidential and vice presidential candidates in The University Daily Kansan's Student Senate debate, which will be held the week after spring break.
The Kansan, which has never hosted a debate before, is inviting students to submit questions to candidates via the YouTube channel "Kansandotcom." The questions will then be played for the candidates during the debate.
Darla Slipke, Bristol, Conn., senior and Kansan editor-in-chief, will be one of the moderators of the debate. The Kansan will collaborate with KJHK-FM and KUJH-TV, the campus radio and TV stations, for the event.
Slipke said the debate was a way to get more readers involved in the Student Senate elections. She said many students didn't realize how important Student Senate was and how much influence they could have on student life, especially through dispersal of student fees.
"The debate is a great way to let students ask questions and make informed decisions," Slipke said.
Slike said that the generation of students in college now are very involved with technology, so the debate would likely appeal to them.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN'S STUDENT SENATE DEBATE
Brian Lewis-Jones, Lenexa senior and Kansan Web editor, said the debate would be a great way to raise awareness about local democracy and that he hoped the debate would take away the passive outlook some students have on the election.
"The Kansan logo says 'The Student Voice Since 1904,' Lewis-Jones said. "As of now, I see no better opportunity to perpetuate the student voice."
Lewis-Jones said the debate was modeled off the CNN-YouTube debate between U.S. presidential candidates. Viewers submitted questions to YouTube, which were then played for candidates when the debate aired on CNN.
Lewis-Jones is also integrating other types of multimedia into the debate. Coalitions will have their own blog on Kansan.com. They will be limited in their number of posts, and all posts will go through a moderator.
Brett Murray, Lenexa junior and news
director at KJHK-FM, said that although the station has never broadcast the debate live before, the station would try to do it this year. He said the station would then rebroadcast the debate and air other Senate stories to complete what he said is the most extensive Senate coverage he's ever heard by KJHK-FM.
Murray said that by using the different
multimedia, he hoped to reach as many students as possible. He said students needed to be aware that Senate controlled student-paid fees and that voting for them would encourage good voting practices later in life.
"The importance of the right to vote is very understated in this country," Murray said.
Dick Nelson, general manager and news coordinator at KUJH-TV, said the television station would also be involved in the debate. Nelson said the station wanted to broadcast the debate live, but hadn't done much live coverage and had to coordinate the technology to make it possible. He said if they didn't broadcast live, they would either tape the story and rebroadcast it on the station or stream it on the Internet.
The debate will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 26, in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

For most college students, reality television is a guilty pleasure. For the seven University sophomores who participated in "High School Confidential," a WE tv documentary about high school life in Overland Park, it describes their high school lives perfectly.
Filmmaker Sharon Liese captured a variety of emotions, challenges and successes that each girl experienced during the course of four years through interviews and documentary work. Cate, whose brief struggle with depression and an eating disorder is featured in her episode, said she hoped people would see just how many pressures teens currently faced.
Their last names and the high school the girls attended are not revealed in the show.
When the show premieres on March 10, Cate, Crystle, Beth, Sarah T., Gina, Cappie and Courtney will see some of the most personal details about their high school lives on display for anyone with cable to see.
"I hope they see that even though we went to a primarily white, suburban high school that it's not all "Leave it to Beaver," Cate said.
Even though the experience hadn't been entirely positive, she said she would definitely do it again if she had the opportunity. Cates father, Rick, wasn't so sure. Although it was eye-opening to see what his daughter had gone through, he said it was difficult to have family airied across the country.
Others were more anxious about what they may have said rather than done.
Sarah T. said she hadn't seen her episode yet, but that she didn't really have anything to hide about herself from others. She said she was trying not to dwell on the fact that the premiere was rapidly approaching, but was worried about what she may have said on camera that she doesn't remember now.
"I'm more concerned about anything I may have said about other people" Sarah T, said.
She said she decided to participate in order to show a different side to high school life than the one depicted on television. When the
project began, Sarah T. said she couldn't have imagined it would have received the attention it has. She said her friends were more excited for her episode than she was, and that she was not yet sure if she would watch the premiere.
She may be the only one. "High School Confidential" has been the talk of Internet message boards because of the network's work promoting the show on Youtube and increasing media coverage. Liese, Cate and two other girls are in New York this week for appearances on the "Tya Banks Show" and "Good Morning America".
Liese said she came upon the idea while thinking about the kind of experiences and pressures her own daughter would face during high school. She sent letters to each incoming freshman girl in her daughter's class and, after interviewing those who responded, settled on 12 girls with a variety of family and ethnic backgrounds.
Unlike contemporary reality TV programs such as "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills," the girls who participated in "High School Confidential" didn't have cameramens following their every move. Rather, each would have a one-on-one interview with Liese a few times a year, and were filmed at school and at home at select times. The show also includes interviews with the girls' parents.
"High School Confidential" premieres on WE tv, Sunflower Broadband channel 124, March 10 at 9 p.m.

"I was there for my daughter's graduation," Liese said. "But I also saw these 12 girls walk across the stage and I had chills each time they walked across to get their diplomas. I knew their lives, I knew their struggles and I knew their triumphs."
Liese said that after four years following and documenting each girl's life she felt an emotional connection with each of them.

One person's trash is another's mariuana
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A pot grower in northern California is following nature's rules, if not the law.
Workers who were sorting items at a San Jose recycling center last week found a large trash bag full of mariuana plants.
The center collects leaves, tree limbs and other natural material for composting, but San Jose police say the plants won't end up that way.
Instead, they'll be held as evidence of a crime.
Police say the marijuana could have come from anywhere in Santa Clara County. They don't know how much of the pot in the bag was able to be sold.

"Before I knew it, I was on the floor and under a pile of people," said Anabel DeJesus, 17. She left without any prize. "It's not worth it," she told the Daily News.
Buzi said CashTomato has staged relatively uneventful giveaways in other cities, and he was startled by the Manhattan mayhem.
Police didn't have any information Saturday on whether anyone was iniured or arrested.
"It turned out to be a lot of aggressive people," he said. "Maybe next time, I would plan this better."
Man has own arm shot to avoid work, drug test
PASCO, Wash. — What happened to faking a cough?
Sheriff's detectives in Franklin County, Wash., say a man had his friend shoot him in the shoulder so he wouldn't have to go to work.
When he first spoke with deputies, Daniel Kuch told them he'd been the victim of a drive-by shooting while he was jogging Thursday. But detectives told KONA radio that Kuch later acknowledged that he asked his friend to shoot him so he could get some time off work and avoid a drug test.
The friend has been arrested for investigation of reckless endangerment. Kuch is expected to be charged with false reporting.
Detectives declined to say where Kuch works, or whether he still has a job. It wasn't known if he had obtained a lawyer.

Feral cats cause trouble
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE MAY, N.J. — Having learned a lesson about the birds and the beach, this Victorian seaside resort adopted a compromise plan Tuesday to protect both by keeping cats away from them.
After nearly a year of conflict that pitted cat lovers against bird lovers in one of North America's prime bird-watching spots, the City Council approved a plan to move feral cat colonies 1,000 feet away from the beach.
The move was necessary to protect endangered shore birds like the piping plover and the least tern, both of which are vulnerable to cats and other predators because they nest on the ground, in ruts on Cape May's popular beach.
"It's important to protect our beaches," said Councilwoman Linda Steenrod. "At the same time, it's important to protect life. That means all life. I think we have a good compromise."
Because the birds are listed as endangered species, federal environmental officials had threatened
About 40 cat lovers picketed outside City Hall before Tuesday's vote, chanting "Feral cats won't go away, revise the plan and let them stay."
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had wanted feral cat colonies banned within one mile of the beach which would have eliminated all wild cats in Cape May, where both cats and birds are popular.
The compromise calls for a 1,000-foot buffer zone between the cats and known bird nesting grounds.
The federal Endangered Species Act prohibits killing, harming or even bothering endangered birds like piping plovers and least terns.

NATION Former narcotics officer runs for congressman
DALLAS — A former narcotics officer who advocates the legalization of drugs has a new career goal — congressman.
Barry Cooper is running as a Libertarian candidate in the 31st Congressional District in Central Texas.
Cooper became a successful narcotics officer after joining the Permian Basin Drug Task Force, a regional group in West Texas.
Cooper, 38, said he took part in 800 drug buests, and seized more than 50 vehicles and $500,000 in cash and assets.
However, he soured on his former profession and now advocates the legalization of drugs, saying that would mean addicts could receive better treatment and drug-related crimes would decrease.

U.S. accused of having role in commander's death
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOGOTA, Colombia — Hundreds of Venezuelan troops moved Tuesday toward the border with Colombia, amid heightening tension over Colombia's cross-border strike on a rebel base in Ecuador.
The Organization of American States scheduled an emergency afternoon meeting in Washington to try to calm one of the region's worst political showdowns in years, pitting U.S.-backed Colombia against Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez and his allies. Colombian and Ecuadorian officials, meanwhile, traded accusations in the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.
The escalation of tensions was triggered over the weekend when Colombia troops crossed the border with Ecuador and killed Raul Reyes, a top commander of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC rebels who had set up a camp there.
Chavez, condemned the killing
and ordered about 9,000 soldiers to Venezuela's border with Colombia. He warned Colombian President Alvaro Uribe that any strike on Venezuelan soil could provoke a South American war.
Several Latin American leftist leaders have suggested the U.S. was intimately involved in executing the raid that killed Reyes. Colombian military officials have said U.S. satellite intelligence and communications intercepts have been key to putting the FARC on the defensive.
Another victim of the crisis may be border trade worth $5 billion a year, most of it Colombian exports sorely needed by Venezuelans already suffering milk and meat shortages.
Venezuela said it would stop new exports and imports. At one closed border crossing, in Paraguachon, Venezuela, authorities stopped trucks lined up for about a half a mile Tuesday morning. But traffic was flowing normally at another crossing, in El Amparo, where a handful of Venezuelan troops stood watch as usual, the customs office was open and traffic passed freely.
PARKING
Park and Ride may get cheaper
Other permits would face price increase to raise funds for initiative
312-705-4200
The KU parking commission wants to reduce campus traffic and increase parking availability by decreasing the price of Park and Ride permits by $105. This price change would be offset by an increase in the cost of other parking permits. The commission will vote on the proposal next Tuesday.
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
The KU parking commission will vote next Tuesday on a proposal that would lower the price of a Park and Ride permit from $205 to $100, while raising the prices of all the other permits.
The Parking Department hasn't determined how much it wants to raise other permit prices, but May Davis, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said she thought all other permits should cost at least $75 more than a Park and Ride permit.
The goal of the proposal is to motivate more students to buy Park and Ride permits and park off campus, said Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit.
Hultine said the proposal would increase the on-campus parking availability.
"We realize there's not enough parking on campus," Hultine said. "But if we can entice students to park and ride, we can lower the traffic congestion on campus."
If the proposal passes, the Transit Department will buy two new Park and Ride buses for $80.000 each.
Steven Schrock, co-chairman of the parking commission, said the department would use the money raised from the increase of regular permit prices to pay for the extra buses.
"Two more buses would make it much more convenient for students who park off campus," he said. "We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot if we lowered the price for Park and Ride, but didn't provide additional buses for the increased number of students whod be parking out there."
The parking commission that will vote on the issue includes three student senators, three faculty members, two professional staff members and two support staff members.
The commission will also vote on whether the Parking Department should help pay for students to have access to free bus rides. However, the exact details on this proposal have not yet been confirmed.

"Do I want to park off campus? No, but I understand the desire to lower traffic congestion on campus," Klayder said.

Speaker to discuss climate change
BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com
The Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Roderick Bremby, will lecture about climate change at 7 tonight in the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. But Bremby may not be able to comment on the issue that has brought him the most attention.
Bremby, who was appointed to his current position by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, gained national recognition this past October because of his decision to reject a plan to build two coal plants in Holcomb.
With Bremby's decision, the department became the first government agency to cite carbon dioxide emissions as the reason for rejecting the construction of a coal plant.
The department's decision ignited a statewide debate about the future of coal, and in mid-February, the Kansas Senate and House of Representatives passed two new bills that would give the Holcomb coal plants a state emissions permit. The bills are currently in a House-Senate conference committee, but many suspect that Sebelius, who called the bills "unacceptable," will veto any bill that isn't significantly altered.
many Kansas environmentalists, said he could not comment on some aspects of the Holcomb legislation.
Bremby, considered an ally by
"I really can't talk much about the case itself, but I can revisit comments that have already been a part of public record," Bremmy said. "It'll be a tighrone walk."
Brian Sifton, a Kansas City, Mo. senior and coordinator for KU Environments, said Bremby's decision was important for KU environmentalists.
"It was a break from the status quo" Sifton said.
Sifton said KU Environs, a student organization designed to promote awareness of environmental issues, had been paying close attention to the Holcomb legislation.
"Everyone wants to know what he's going to say about it," Sifton said.
Bremby said his lecture would address climate change at the local level and how the department made its decisions.
"Climate change is an issue that we need to deal with," Bremby said. "Whether we deal with it nationally or we deal with it locally, I think fundamentally it will require each of us to take some steps to do what we can to limit our greenhouse gases."
Bremby's lecture is the second in the University Lecture Series. The
series is being co-sponsored by the KU Honors Program and The Commons — a partnership among the Biodiversity Institute, the Hall Center for the Humanities, and the Spencer Museum of Art.
Sarah Crawford-Parker, assistant director of the KU Honors Program, said the lecture series was created to tackle the climate change issue creatively.
"When you're dealing with something like climate change, it's a complicated issue," Crawford-Parker said. "There's no one answer."
On Feb. 12, Nate Brunsell, assistant professor of geography, spoke on climate change. The series will feature three more lecturers after Bremby, William Pizer, a senior fellow for Resources for the Future, will lecture on March 26; Andrew Torrance, associate professor of law, will speak on April 9; and photographer Terry Evans will lecture on April 16.
Crawford-Parker said they expect a large turnout for Bremby.
"It is essential that these type of opportunities exist on college campuses. It provides an opportunity for discussion and exploration," Breesby said.

Gym offers women-only hours
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — In a test of Harvard's famed open-mindedness, the university has banned men from one of its gyms for a few hours a week to accommodate Muslim women who say it offends their sense of modesty to exercise in front of the opposite sex.
The policy is already unpopular with many on campus, including some women who consider it sexist.
"I think that it's incorrect in a
college setting to institute a policy in which half of the campus gets wronged or denied a resource that's supposed to be for everyone," said student Lucy Caldwell, who also wrote a column in The Harvard Crimson newspaper critical of the new hours.
Student Ola Aljawhary, who is Muslim and works out elsewhere on campus but is not one of the women who requested the change, rejected that argument.
"The majority should be willing to
compromise" she said. "I think that's just basic courtesy. We must show tolerance and respect for all others."
The trial policy went into effect Feb. 4, about a month after a group of six Muslim women, with the support of the Harvard College Women's Center, asked the university for the special hours, spokesman Robert Mitchell said.
"We get special requests from religious groups all the time and we try to honor them whenever possible," he said, noting that the school has
designated spaces for Muslim and Hindu students to pray.
No men are allowed in the gym between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Mondays, and between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Even the staff during those times is all women. The special hours allow the Muslim women, who adhere to traditional dress codes by covering their hair and most of their skin while in public, to dress more appropriately for exercising, said Susan Marine, director of the women's center.

Vermont town could vote to arrest Bush, Cheney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — Voters in this southern Vermont town were deciding Tuesday whether to approve a measure calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney on charges of violating the Constitution.
The symbolic article seeks to have police arrest Bush and Cheney if they ever visit Brattleboro or to extradite them for prosecution elsewhere — if they're not impeached first.
"Our town attorney has no legal authority to draw up any papers to allow our police officers to do so," said Town Clerk Annette Capy, "but the gentleman who initiated the petition got the signatures (and) wanted it on the ballot to make a statement."
A steady stream of voters paraded into the Brattleboro Union High School gym to cast their ballots on a day when school board elections and Vermont's presidential primary were also on the slate.
Organizers of the indictment
campaign were frustrated that the printed ballot ended up relegating the Bush-Cheney indictment article to the back side, which they said would cause some people to miss it.
The 8-by-14-inch yellow card-board ballot listed the offices and candidates in the local election on one side, and at the bottom in block letters "Turn Ballot Over and Continue Voting."
"Turn Over Ballot and Indict Bush," read a 3-by-4-foot handmade picket sign carried by Kurt Daims, 54, who organized the petition drive and stood outside the school Tuesday.
Voters interviewed after casting ballots said they saw the article as an opportunity to express their frustration over the war in Iraq and Bush's tenure in general.
"I realize it's an extreme thing to do, and really silly in a way," said Robert George, 74, a retired photographer. "But I'm really angry about us getting involved in the war in Iraq and him (Bush) disrespecting the will of the people."

Obama won the Vermont primary, and sought to counter Clinton's claims that the night had been a race-altering event. "We have nearly the same delegate lead as we did this morning and we are on our way to winning this nomination," he told supporters in Texas.
The two rivals also competed for support in caucuses in Texas that began 15 minutes after the state's primary polls closed.
Both Democrats called McCain
— a Senate colleague — to congratulate him on his triumph in the Republican race.
The 71-year-old Arizona senator surpassed the 1,191 delegates needed to win his party's nomination, completing a remarkable comeback that began in the snows of New Hampshire eight weeks ago. President Bush invited him to lunch — and an endorsement — at the White House on Wednesday.
McCain's last remaining major rival, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, conceded defeat after a campaign that included a stunning victory in the leadoff Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3. "My commitment to him and the party is to do everything possible to unite our party, but more important to unite our country so that we can be the best we can be." Huckabee said in Irving, Texas.
Clinton won the Rhode Island primary with more than 58 percent of the vote.
But Ohio and Texas were the big trophies of the night, rich in delegates and — according to Bill Clinton — must-win states for his wife.
Her share of the Ohio vote was 55 percent in nearly complete returns, and she was winning nearly 51 percent in Texas.
Obama was gaining roughly 60 percent of the Vermont vote.
In the four-state competition for delegates, Clinton picked up at least 100, to at least 77 for Obama. Nearly 200 more remained to be allocated for the night, 163 of them in the Texas primary and caucuses.
Obama had a total of 1,466 delegates, including separately chosen party and elected officials known as superdelegates, according to the Associated Press count. He picked up three superdelegate endorsements Tuesday,
Clinton had 1,376 delegates. It takes 2.025 to win the nomination.
With their remarks, first Clinton, then Obama, sought to frame the race in the best possible terms for their own campaigns.
"They call Ohio a bellwether state, the battleground state. It's a state that knows how to pick a president and no candidate in recent history, Democrat or Republican, has won the White House without winning the Ohio primary," the former first lady said in Columbus.
Clinton and Obama spent most of the past two weeks in Ohio and Texas in a costly, bruising campaign, with the former first lady questioning his sincerity in opposing NAFTA and questioning his readiness to serve as commander in chief.
Polling place interviews with voters in both states suggested the criticism hit home, showing Clinton was winning the votes of late deciders in Ohio and Texas, as well as Vermont.
Hispanics, a group that has favored Clinton in earlier primaries, cast nearly one-third of the Election Day votes in Texas, up from about one-quarter of the ballots four years ago, according to interviews with voters as they left their polling places. Blacks, who have voted heavily for Obama this year, accounted for roughly 20 percent of the votes cast.
roughly the same as four years ago.
The economy was the No.1 concern on the minds of Democratic voters in Texas, Rhode Island and especially in Ohio. But in Vermont, almost as many voters said the war in Iraq was their top concern.
More than three-quarters of Ohio Democrats said international trade had cost their state more jobs than it had created.
Roughly six in 10 of the Democrats who were questioned outside the polls Tuesday said that so-called superdelegates, who are party officials, should vote at the national convention based on the results of primaries and caucuses. That was unwelcome news for Clinton, who trails Obama among delegates picked in the states but holds a lead among superdelegates.
Obama had campaigned hoping to land a knockout blow. As of March 1, his campaign had spent about $9 million on television advertising in Texas and about $4.5 million in Ohio; Clinton had spent about $5 million in Texas and about $2.3 million in Ohio, according to TNS
Media Intelligence/CMAG, an ad tracking firm.
Clinton showed no sign of surrender as she campaigned on Tuesday. "You don't get to the White House as a Democrat without winning Ohio," she said in Houston.
"My husband didn't get the nomination wrapped up until June (in 1992). That has been the tradition," she added, without mentioning that this year most primaries were held much earlier than in 1992. "This is a very close race."
For his part, Obama was already advertising in Mississippi, which holds its primary next week, and planned trips there and to Wyoming, which has weekend caucuses.
Pennsylvania, the biggest single prize left, holds its primary on April 22.
"All those states coming up are going to make a difference," he said.
It takes 2,025 delegates to win the Democratic nomination, and slightly more than 600 remained to be picked in the 10 states that vote after Tuesday.
HEALTH
Snow may be unhealthy to eat
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A recent study found that snow — even in relatively pristine spots like Montana and the Yukon — contains large amounts of bacteria.
PITTSBURGH — To the list of simple childhood pleasures whose safety has been questioned, add this: eating snow.
Parents who warn their kids not to eat dirty snow (especially the yellow variety) are left wondering whether to stop them from tasting the new-fallen stuff, too, because of Pseudomonas syringae, bacteria that can cause diseases in bean and tomato plants. But experts say there's no need to banish snow-eating.
"It's a very ubiquitous bacteria that's everywhere," said Penelope Denneho, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on infectious diseases. "Basically, none of the food we eat is sterile. We eat bacteria all the time."
Children practically bathe in bacteria when they go to the playground, and Dennehy said they won't get anything from snow they wouldn't get from dirt.
"We eat stuff that's covered with bacteria all the time, and for the most part it's killed in the stomach," said Joel Forman, a member of the pediatric academy's committee on environmental health. "Your stomach is a fantastic barrier against invasive bacteria because it's a very acidic environment."
There are exceptions. "Tiny kids on formula a lot of times don't have the acid in their stomachs," making them more vulnerable to bacteria in general, said Lynnette Mazur, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas Medical School. Also, Forman and Mazur said that Pseudomonas can be a threat to people with cystic fibrosis.
The study, published last week in the journal Science, didn't examine the effects on people. And experts say without further information, it is impossible to say what the bacteria could do to a child who eats extraordinary amounts.
Some parents say they are not going to worry about their kids eating snow that looks clean.
"My snow-eating concerns are
generally more of the dirt-urine variety," said Kristin Lang, 37, of Maplewood, N.J., whose 2-year-old son Charlie has swallowed his share of snow.
"When I heard bacteria, at first I went 'ew', said Tricia Sweeney,
a mother of three in Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y. But as long as the kids eat snow as it's falling, "I think it's OK. I tell them not to eat it if it's on the ground."

Sunday's premiere of "Oprah's

ABC also did well with Monday's prime-time remake of "A Raisin in the Sun" which finished in the top 10 with 12.7 million viewers.

DJ practice not something to be studied in library
HONK!
FD OLK
Thomas Dallman 3.05.2008
KIRSTEN HUDSON
I'm sitting in Anschutz, frustrated,
trying to complete the day's Sudoku when Flo Rida's hit song "Get Low"
pushes its way through the jumbled mess of numbers in my brain.
No, the song is not stuck in my head. It's pulling out of my neighbor's ear drums from the dime-size headphones wedged in her ears.
Headphones have lost their purpose.
No longer do they keep the listener's music from disturbing others when the music can still be heard blaring through the barrier of the headphones. Now it seems that sometimes the only reason headphones are even worn is because iPods won't work without them.
Often in the library, I hear more muffled music playing than cell phones going off. If you can manage to click your cell phone on silent, you can manage to turn the volume down on your iPod, unless your thumb isn't capable of counter-clockwise motion.
The library is not the only problem, though. When I'm sitting in a classroom, five minutes before the start of class, frantically trying to finish the 30 pages of reading that I procrastinated on the night before, nothing distracts me more than someone's ears acting as a set of speakers.
Maybe this is because of ignorance. You're just so into Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" that you don't realize how loud your music really is. Yet, when your head is literally vibrating to the lyrics of your music, it's hard for me to believe that you don't know
that your music is too loud.
Or maybe you know your music is loud and just don't care.
You may be relishing in fantasies of being a DJ, but no one else cares about your new playlist. It's courtesy people. Just turn the volume down.
Not only is turning the volume down considerate, but maxed-out volume really is bad for your ears.
When shopping at Target, I noticed that both Nike and Sony warn on their packages that continued use of their headphones at full volume can damage hearing.
Even if you're willing to damage your ear drums by listening to music at full volume, at least keep it to yourself.
your music may be because of the type of headphones. One feature of Sony's clip-on headphones, with a cuff that surrounds the ear, is that it has a stable fit on the ears that minimizes sound leakage.
Part of the reason others can hear
While certain headphones may contribute to the problem, I feel that the real problem lies simply in that volume bar. Headphones don't have
to be meaningless if you turn down the volume.
Until then, I give up on my Sudoku. Somehow I just can't concentrate with Flo Rida shouting at me to get low.

COMMENTARY
Traditional image of anorexic female appears strikingly male
HAILEY OSTERHAUS
Anorexia.
It is a word that flashes the image of a half-naked girl weakly hunching over a body-length mirror observing her anatomy. Her spine looks as though it may poke through her skin, and her arms are sharply bent to settle her frail hands upon her hips that are no longer there. This person is sick, and this person is always a female.
But if we open our eyes just a little wider we will come to find that this person could actually be a male.
As if anorexia wasn't already a serious illness in America, it actually has an embedded problem that is often overlooked. Although many women are known to have this disorder, society's influence has convinced us that anorexia is exclusively a woman's problem.
According to a study by the Harvard University of Medicine in 2007, 25 percent of Americans who were diagnosed with an eating disorder were male.
The males I've known rarely confess feelings of illness or pain. They bear their discomforts without complaint and go through the day feeling ill because they would rather suffer than look weak.
This is exactly how some men with eating disorders act when they possess this "womanly problem." They will not confess to having an eating disorder for the fear of becoming emasculated.
If men are overweight, they may be compared to women because they are not muscular and slender like the men in health magazines. They actually possess "womanly" qualities such as curves or a bust similar to a woman's.
Because they are compared to a woman's shape, they may strive to avoid becoming emasculated by developing an eating disorder to lose the extra weight. By having this disorder they may conceal their "feminine illness" because they fear the comparison to women will make them look weak as well. In other words, by trying to look more like a man by developing a woman's disorder, they will automatically be considered weak because women signify weakness.
It is also said that homosexual men make up a large sum of anorexic/bulimic males.
According to the Psychiatric
Times, 20 percent of males with eating disorders are gay, one of the reasons being that there is a high demand in the gay community for men to look a certain way. Even in places that are very accepting of homosexuality, more discrimination may lie within the gay community.
Expectations of looking healthy, lean and muscular lead to low self-esteem and promising chances of eating disorders. Although we have come a long way, we still live in homophobic times. Therefore, some gay males may not admit to their disorder for the fear of being a gay man who also has an eating disorder.
Men and women both develop these disorders in very similar ways. Just like women who become ill, men have similar psychological or self-esteem issues that could trigger anorexia or bulimia. The only difference is that many men are not coming forward with their problems.
or they are not aware that they have one.
I find it very disturbing that a disease as serious as anorexia or bulimia is gendered.
Because eating disorders are considered women's issues, it is difficult for men to seek help. But eating disorders can happen to anyone, and if we are all aware of this, men could start receiving the help they thought they could or should not have. This illness in men is simply overlooked, and I am certain that male anorexia will continue to increase because of the growing demands of media and society.
Although it is very hard to pinpoint exactly how important this issue is in male lives, it should not go unnoticed, and it should not be ignored.
Osterhaus is a Seneca sopho more in journalism.

Male tanning business heats up in Lawrence
BY JESSE TRIMBLE
editor@kansan.com
Troy Goff, Springhill junior, sits hunched over, holding his white and gold bottle of "Purely Divine" tanning lotion.
Goff prefers "Purely Divine," a product by Swedish Beauty, because it's a white lotion instead of brown. An employee calls Goff's name and he crosses the lobby full of young women to be escorted to his tanning bed.
"I've never had people tell me it's weird that I tan," Goff said. "I like to stay tan all year round. I feel more confident about myself and I stay the same color all year."
Several tanning salons in Lawrence have seen increases in their male customers this tanning season, which is January through April. Managers consider everything from tanning lotions, prices and types of beds. When, where and how managers place advertisements directed toward men has become important in recent years. Salon managers and customers are discovering that it's no longer taboo for men to tan.
said he thinks society has become more accepting of men who tan. "Before, there was kind of a stigma about it, but now people don't care what other people think," Faust said.
Mike and Kathy Byrnes own SunKissed Tanning salon. 2540 Iowa St. Along with remodeling the building, the owners are also discovering how to appeal to both

female and male customers. One aspect of SunKissed that appeals to male customers is its selection of male tanning lotions. The Byneses decided to carry three lotions specifically for males
Bret Balcona, Columbus senior, and Doug Seek, Leaward senior, prepare for spring break by tanning Saturday at Ultimate Tan. "We're getting our train ready for Patricia 'Balcona' said. The two seniors said they tried to tan at least three times a week.

"Men are more frugal than many women," Kathy said. "Women are more likely to spend money on themselves than men are any day."
and a few other unisex lotions, along with lotions for female customers. "Swinger" costs $28 per bottle, "Mankind," $24, and "Hammer," $50. Mike Byrnes, who said he'd never tanned before owning the salon, uses "Hammer," which is shaped like a men's cologne bottle and has a similar fragrance.
"I like to stay tan all year round. I feel more cofident about myself and I stay the same color all year."
Kristi Lawrence, manager and owner of Mango Tan, 4000 W. Sixth St. ,agreed.
"It's just like how much men will pay for a haircut," Lawrence said. "Most women will put down $100 for a haircut and not think anything about it.
Men aren't like that."

Mango Tan has always had a lot of men who tan. Lawrence said. "Not just college students either," Lawrence said. "Some are 65-year-old men."
Unlike SunKissed Tanning, however, Lawrence said that she doesn't stock her salon with tanning lotions for men, simply because the prices are too high and men won't pay that price for lotion.
"We allow our customers to leave their lotions here," Lawrence said. "Guys prefer that, especially when the lotion they carry has a corny name like 'Sex Pot' or 'Sex Magnet.'"
According to salon managers in Lawrence, the average percentage of male customers is about 10 percent. Lawrence said Mango Tan's customers were 15 percent male. Mike Byrnes said in 2006, 15 percent of his customers were also male. This year, though, in January through February, SunKissed male customers rose to 20 percent.
Lisa Spangler, regional manager of Celsius Tannery, 4931 W. Sixth St., said that the percentage of male tanners was 15 percent at all Celsius salons in a typical year. Right before spring break and during the tanning season months,
she said, the number jumped to 30 percent.
Spangler said that Celsius car-

written to get them in here, bake 'em up and send 'em out," Kathy said. "It's more about what's best for them and their skin care."
Base beds are the simplest form of tanning beds, have the lowest wattage of ultra-violet rays and are generally the cheapest.
The managers of SunKissed,
Celsius and Mango Tan have the same standards on deciding how to advertise—they leave sex out of it.
Spangler said she tries to use unisex ads, whether they're in newspapers or on the radio. Mike and Kathy Byrnes said they treated their male customers like everyone else and thought that referrals and word of mouth were the best ways to advertise.
When Goff finishes his tanning session, he grabs a sucker in the lobby and heads out the door. Sometimes, Goff convinces a few friends into coming with him to try tanning. Other times, he won't, and that's fine with him because he'll be the one who has a tan.

SENIOR GOODBYES
The road to becoming a Jayhawk
BY THOR NYSTROM
TNYSTROM@KANSAN.COM -
Senior Night at Allen Fieldhouse: The pageantry. The tradition. The emotion. The theatrics. The overblown sentimentality.
I used to think I hated sitting through the presentation and speeches after the game on Senior Night. And then I became a senior. This allowed me to gain new appreciation and insights into the process, enough so that I wanted to give my own speech.
If I had, this is how it would have gone down:
Max Falkenstien at center court of Allen Fieldhouse: "And now we have a fella that came to Kansas from up north. He knew nothing of KU athletic tradition when he came from Minnesota, but he was eager to learn. He chose this school solely because of the basketball program. He wanted to be a Jayhawk. And while his patience has been tested, his faith in the excellence of this institution and its athletics has never wavered. Ladies and gentleman, Thor Nystrom!"
Thor Nystrom: "Thank you, Max. Wow,
it has been a great five years. There are so
many people I want to thank.
(Standing ovation — I give Max a half-hand shake, half-man hug)
"First, the fans. You guys are great. Like Max said, when I first came here, I didn't know squat about being a true jaywalk fan. Your passion and dedication made me want to be the fan I am today.
(Standing ovation)
"I chose this school because I wanted to follow a premier college basketball team while getting a good education. In that order. But after I committed, the crap hit the fan. We lost the national championship and Roy Williams bolted.
The freshman class Williams left for Bill Self had David Padgett, Omar Wilkes and J.R. Giddens. I met all three at various points. Padgett's sense of superiority and feeling of entitlement struck me immediately and I was happy when he took it where it belonged, to Louisville.
(Applause)
"Wilkes and Giddens were both great guys. I was sad when Wilkes got homesick and wanted more playing time and left for California. I was sadder when Giddens stabbed a man and was forced to leave. I remember bumping into and talking to the nicest guy in front of my dorm a couple of months after I moved here. Turns out it was Giddens, down to earth as I could imagine any elite athlete to be, and he was the same in future occurrences with me. I wondered what turned him into the person who snapped and whom people hated.
"And then there was the losing. No, not losing like other programs. I soon found out that with Kansas fans' passion came expectations. We are as fanatical as anyone in the country but we don't like finishing second. That's why certain losses sent us into emotional tallpins and crippled the psyches of our fan base for weeks. You know what I refer to: Bucknell. Bradley.
"I'm sure everyone in this arena can recall with remarkable clarity where you watched those games and the measures you took those nights to ease your pain after our team lost. For myself, I don't like dwelling on those times.
"But then there were better times. Bill brought in likeable players who competed hard on the court and didn't brood or stab people off it. Guys like Julian Wright, Mario Chalmers, Darnell Jackson, Sherron Collins and Sasha Kaun made me proud to be a student at this University.
(Applause as I blink back tears)
"Man. I promised my parents I wasn't going to cry. So let's switch gears really quick. I want to thank a pair of gentlemen who made my life as a fan of Kansas so much more fun — Quin Snyder and Frank Martin.
"What can I say, gentlemen? Quin, it was always fun competing against your teams. I loved how you recruited players of questionable character and heart and trusted in your ability to get the most out of

Senior Jamie Boyd contributed more to team than court time

Her name is rarely announced in the starting line-up and it doesn't always show up in the box score, but according to coach Bonnie Henrickson, it's easy to find Jamie Boyd's fingerprints all over this team.
Despite watching most of the games from the bench, the senior forward from Underwood, Iowa has had as big of an impact on the team as any player on the roster. That's because she does anything and everything that's asked of her.
"She's one of the most unselfish kids I've ever coached, as far as her willingness to mentor and tutor the young kids and be a vocal leader." Henrickson said. "Sometimes that's hard when you're on the bench, but she's done a great job."
Boyd is one of three co-captains, along with senior forward Taylor McIntosh and junior guard Ivana Catic, and she takes that role seriously both in games and practice.
Boyd has started five games in her four years, including the game on Jan. 30 at Oklahoma, and carries career averages of 2 ppg and 1.9 rpg. She understands that being a leader extends beyond the court and into the classroom, a place where her competitiveness also shines.
"She's a bright and mature kid, on and off the court, and she leads by example," Henrickson said. "Her teammates respect her because she works her tail off.
"If you came to practice you think she started and played 40 minutes a game."
Senior forward Jamie Boyd has been an asset to the team during her four years as a Jayhawk. "She's one of the most unselfish kids I've ever coached," Bonnie Henrickson said.
In 2006 and 2007, Boyd was named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team and she earned a 4.0 grade point average in the

During tonight's Sunflower Showdown with Kansas State, senior forward Taylor McIntosh will likely step onto Naismith Court for the final time in her four year career. Not that McIntosh is dwelling on Senior Night and her final game in the "Phog".
"I guess it hasn't really hit me yet," she said.
When asked what she will miss the most, McIntosh didn't miss a beat.
"I've always said the fans," she said. "Just seeing the same people come out and support you through all four years."
McIntosh is the final remnant of former coach Marian Washington's 31 seasons in charge of the program. Although she never played for the legendary coach, her presence has helped Washington's successor, Bonnie Henrickson, build a solid foundation for the future.

"They lost my housing contract, and I didn't have anywhere to go," McIntosh said.
Despite the rough start, McIntosh has been a model of consistency during her four years in Lawrence. During that time, the 5-foot-11 forward has started 114 of the 117 games she has appeared in, including 27 starts as a freshman, and has never averaged less than 4.5 points or 5 rebounds. This season McIntosh has stepped up her game even more, scoring 6.7 points per contest to go along with 6.8 rebounds.

Jayhawks find swagger in time for March
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
One day after Kansas' most upsetting loss of the season, a 61-60 loss at Oklahoma State, senior forward Darnell Jackson was at practice, sweating through drill after drill. Kansas' emotional leader could sense something was wrong. So could the rest of his teammates.
"I think a lot of guys realized that this is it," Jackson said.
The road losses to Kansas State, Texas and Oklahoma State had hurt. They made Jackson think about Kansas' first-round losses during his freshman and sophomore year, and now, March was rapidly approaching.
"We don't want to have that happen again," Jackson said. "We came together as a team and just told each other that everybody needs to bring something to the table."
Ten days and three victories later, everybody has. Junior guard Brandon Rush, the co-Big 12 Player of the Week, is asserting himself in games. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins has been his old self. Senior guard Russell Robinson is making shots. Ditto for junior guard Mario Chalmers. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur has been a reliable scoring threat, and Jackson and senior center Sasha Kaun are giving a yeoman's effort inside.
"Just in a six day stretch, we've looked like a totally different team," Kansas coach Bill Said. "And it also helps when you make shots."
The lajhwakes are playing with a sense of urgency. Most importantly, they have their swagger back.
Made shots were in high supply during Monday's 109-51 bludgeoning of Texas Tech. Kansas shot 59.7 percent from the field, and made 14-of-24 three-pointers.
Robinson said making shots is just part of the equation for the surging Jayhawks. Sure, Kansas made 32-of-58 three-pointers in victories against Iowa State, K-State and Texas Tech. That always helps, but Robinson credits other aspects for busting Kansas out of its mid-February slump.
"We're playing better defensive, with more energy," Robinson said. "Now we just got to keep that up."
Kansas' topsy-turvy February isn't exactly what Self had in mind. Starting with a loss to Kansas State on Jan. 30, the Jayhawks never looked comfortable in February. Collins was plagued by injuries, Arthur by foul trouble and Kansas' defensive intensity wavered. The Jayhawks that lost to Oklahoma State - those weren't Self's players, were they?
"That was a stale team, a tired team." Sell said. "I think it was all between the ears."
But now, after three consecutive victories, including the most lopsided victory in the history of the Big 12 Conference, Kansas is one game from its fourth consecutive regular season title. Beat Texas A&M on Saturday, and the Jayhawks will clinch a least a share of the Big 12 title. If that doesn't provide incentive enough to stay mentally focused, Kansas' emotional victories against K-State and Texas Tech seem to have provided a mental booster shot.
That loss to Oklahoma State doesn't quite hurt as much.
"If it got us to the point where we're playing better and have our swagger back a little bit, it was worth it," Self said.
Jackson said he felt the swagger coming back.
"We're a great team," Jackson said. "We can do a lot of things from now, going on the Big 12 Tournament and getting ready for the NCAA Tournament."
Refocused, reenergized and with its swagger in tow, Kansas has finally reached March.
"Our swagger is not like cocky, but you just have that attitude that were going to go out there and try to play harder than the next team," Jackson said.

Moss re-signs with Patriots
New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss resigned with the Patriots on Monday.
>> NFL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Randy Moss is staying with the New England Patriots.
The defending AFC champions re-signed the record-breaking receiver on Monday to a three-year deal worth $27 million, his agent said. The signing was confirmed by the team shortly after Moss posted a message to fans on his Web site.
"I want to take time out to thank all of the fans for their support and for wishing me well in my return to New England," therealrandymoss. com quotes him as saying, "I'm ready to get back. We have some unfinished business to take care of."
Moss' agent, Tim DiPiero, said the deal included guarantees of $15 million, including a $12 million signing bonus to the receiver who set an NFL record with 23 touchdown catches and helped the
Patriots reach the Super Bowl in his first season with the team.
"Randy was serious about wanting to stay," DiPiero wrote in an e-mail. "Because of Randy's record-breaking year, the interest in him was very high. Randy took less than he could have to rejoin his teammates."
"What Randy did for our team last year was outstanding." Patriots coach Bill Belichick said in a statement, "He is one of our most consistent, competitive and team-oriented players and it is undoubtedly a relationship we are excited to continue."
Pairing Moss with NFL MVP Tom Brady, who broke the league record with 50 touchdown passes, the Patriots breezed through the regular season with a perfect 16-0 record. They improved to an unprecedented 18-0 before blowing a chance at the league's longest
unbeaten season with a 17-14 Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants.
Moss, 31, has caught 774 passes for 12,193 yards in a 10-year career, and his 124 career receiving touchdowns are fourth in NFL history.

Ben Roethlisberger signed an eight-year extension Monday with the Pittsburgh Steelers that is worth $102 million and makes him one of the league's top-paid players.
The agreement comes after

Roothilberger re-established himself as one of the NFLs best quarterbacks last season, and nearly two years after his life and career were threatened by a motorcycle crash. The
Pittsburgh Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger speaks after signing an eight-year contract extension, Monday in Pittsburgh. The deal is worth $102 million, more than $36 million of it guaranteed, making Roethlisberger one of the NFL's highest-paid players.

accident happened a few months after he led the Steelers to a Super Bowl victory.
Last season, Roethlisberger threw 32 touchdown passes with only 11 interceptions in leading the Steelers to a 10-6 regular-season record and the playoffs, a major turnaround from his 23-interception season of 2006.
Roethlisberger's contract guarantees him $36 million and is easily the largest in the Steelers' 76-season history. The quarterback, who turned 26 Sunday, gets $25 million immediately as a signing bonus.

"I told them I didn't want to go anywhere the day I walked in (as a rookie in 2004)." Roethlisberger said Monday. "I love Pittsburgh, I love the fans. Got probably the best organization and fans in all of the sport. I don't want to go anywhere."
not even Bradshaw, had a better start to his career; Bradshaw didn't win a Super Bowl until his fifth season.
Roethlisberger wants to be "like the Dan Marinos, like the John Elways, guys who played with one team their whole career."
Nor did the Steelers want to lose the club's most successful quarterback since four-time Super Bowl winner Terry Bradshaw. Roethilsberger, drafted in 2004
The Steelers, quiet in free agency until signing running backkick returner Mewelde Moore on Monday, felt some urgency to get a deal done with Roethlisberger. Director of football operations Kevin Colbert called it his top offseason priority.

Roethlisberger was due a $2.95 million bonus this month that, if paid, would have put the Steelers over the salary cap. By reworking Roethlisberger's contract now, the team rolled that bonus into his new contract and can prorate his signing bonus over the eight years of the contract.

"Ben never said, 'I need a record-breaking contract.' He never said, 'I need the most money in the history of anything,'" said Roethlisberger's agent, Ryan Tollner. "He said, 'I need a fair deal.'"
Roethlisberger, who played in his first Pro Bowl last month, is now focused on getting "a bunch more trophies."
"I believe that the guys we have on this team right now are exceptional players," he said. "I believe we all have the pieces of the puzzle, that we could be a championship football team, and I think that we know the history that we have of drafting well, we'll be able to bring guys in that will hopefully do more."
Roethlisberger was one of the leading vote-getters for the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. By contrast, he never found a groove in 2006 after reporting to training camp only six weeks after his motorcycle crash in Pittsburgh, then needed an appendectomy the week of the season opener. The Steelers started 2-6 before finishing 8-8 during former coach Bill Cowher's 15th and final season.

Kansas turns to southpaw in opener After a 4-5 start, Kansas could improve record to.500
BY SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
This isn't your typical home opener.
More times than not, Division I teams schedule directional schools for their home openers to help assure that opening day crowds will witness a victory. However, Kansas (4-5) opens its home slate today against Le Moyne College (2-6), which reached the NCAA tournament last season.
While the Dolphins, of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, aren't a household name when it comes to college baseball, they aren't to be underestimated. Located in Syracuse, N.Y., Le Moyne went 34-19 last season and is coached by the eighth winningest active baseball coach in Division 1: Steve Owens.
With a career. .683 winning percentage, Owens and his Dolphins have gotten off to an uncharacteristically slow start this season. In the midst of a 15-game road trip to start its season, Le Moyne was swept over the weekend by Oral Roberts.
Yesterday, Le Moyne took No. 25 Wichita State the distance before losing, 9-8, at Eck Stadium. Le Moyne led Wichita State most of the game until the Shockers piled on four runs in the last two innings to steal the victory.
In defeat, the Dolphins continued to receive production from their two best hitters. Infielder Matt Nandin and first baseman Corey O'Neill went a combined 3-
for-9 with two runs.
Today Le Moyne will throw left-hander Corey Nelson (0-0), whose only appearances thus far have been out of the bullpen. In five innings, he's struck out four and has yet to allow an earned run.
The jayhaws, on the other hand, shook off their rusty play during the weekend.
Kansas is coming off a 2-1 showing in the Music Class Classic in Nashville, Tenn. The Jayhawk offense blew up for 21 runs Saturday and Sunday after scoring fewer than five runs in six of their previous seven games.
"It's good to start waking the bats up a little bit more," freshman third baseman Tony Thompson said. "I think we're going to come through now."
Leading the charge for Kansas was junior first baseman Preston Land and senior outfielder Casey Larson. Land was 4-for-5 with two home runs in a five-RBI performance on Saturday while Larson went 4-for-7 with two runs and two RBI in Kansas' two wins. Both were named to the all-tournament team.
Junior center fielder and leadoff man Nick Faunce capped the weekend by going 4-for-5 Sunday, scoring three runs.
"I just think we had to see some pitching for us to get going a little bit," Thompson said. "Our pitching has been doing really well and we just needed to support them with some runs. We finally did that the last couple games."
Le Moyne facts
Enrollment: 2,300
Location: Syracuse, N.Y.
Colors: Green and Gold
Conference: Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
Coach: Steve Owens (504-233-1)
Notes: The Dolphins open 2008 with a 15-game road trip and their home opener is scheduled for March 22 a full month after their first game of the season...Le Moyne has never played Kansas in baseball before.
Kansas coach Ritch Price will again look to sophomore left-hander Wally Marciel (1-1) to bridge the gap to the weekend.
Wednesday, Marceliel allowed only two runs in 5 2/3 innings of work at Arkansas. In two starts, Marcel has a 2.31 ERA and six strikeouts to nine hits and four walks allowed.
Price is counting on another solid performance from Marciel today to give the home fans what they want to see — a home-opening victory.
"Wally Marciel pitched like a Big 12, Friday night starter," Price said after the Arkansas game. "He's improved his fastball command, improved his breaking ball and his changeup. Now he's got three pitches."

Blues snap six-game skid 3-2 Heavy snowstorm causes low attendance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Ryan Johnson scored his fifth goal of the season as the St. Louis Blues snapped a six-game skid with a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
The Blues had gone 0-5-1 in their previous six games, scoring only four goals in that span. But they handed the Kings their fifth straight loss and seventh in eight games.
St. Louis also got goals from Andy McDonald and Keith Tkachuk. Manny Legace stopped 31 shots for the victory.
The Kings got goals from Alexander Frolov and Dustin Brown. They had a chance to tie the game late with a 6-on-3 manpower advantage after pulling the goalie for a sixth attacker, but couldn't get the equalizer.
Johnson gave the Blues their deci
sive goal when Jamal Mayers sprung him loose along the right wing with a tip-in pass. Johnson got the puck past a sliding Anze Kopitat and beat goaltender Erik Ersberg between the pads with 6:54 to play in the game.
Brown gave Los Angeles a 2-1 lead 4:02 into the second period, snapping a shot from the left circle that squirted past Legace at the near post.
Tkachuk answered with his 21st of the season and 494th of his career when he converted a 2-on-1 break. Tkachuk and David Perron raced in against a Kings defenseman and Tkachuk kept the puck to beat Ersberg with a high wrist shot to tie the game 2-2.
McDonald quickly gave the Blues a 1-0 lead when he banged home Paul Kariya's centering feed just 1:40 into the game, McDonald's 13th goal of the season.
The Kings tied it as Frolov col.
lected a loose puck in the slot and fired it past Legace with 47.4 seconds to play in the opening period for his 20th of the season and fifth goal in three games against St. Louis this season.
Notes: A heavy stormsnow kept many of the announced crowd of 14,973 away from Scottrade Center. There were roughly half as many fans in attendance. The St. Louis metropolitan area got anywhere from 8 to 12 inches of snow throughout the day Tuesday. ... The Blues will hit the road for a nine-game road trip that begins Wednesday in Detroit. The trip will also take them to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, San Jose, Anaheim, Montreal, Ottawa and Chicago. ... The last Kings victory was 5-1 at home against the Blues on Feb. 21. The Kings have also lost six straight road games. ... Frolov had a hat trick in the teams' last meeting.

Kansas divers were strong as sophomore Meghan Proehl, freshman Erin Mertz and senior Jenny Roberts all finished in the top eight of the three-meter board. Proehl and junior Hannah McMacken finished in the top eight in the one-meter board.
"They realized they had the potential to score points and they stepped up to plate," diving coach Eric Elliott said. "They each took turns leading the group. Having all five divers score has helped the team as a whole."
After his team's strong performance, Elliot was named Big 12 Diving Coach of the Meet.

them, I loved knowing that they would eventually implode both on and off the court. I loved looking at you on the sidelines. Your detached yet deranged sideline demeanor often led me to believe you were only seconds from either walking off the court to take a nap or from snapping and clothes-lining an opposing player. The day you were fired was a grave disappointment for me and the fans of this institution. You have been missed.
(Crowd nodding in approval while clapping)
"And Frank, I am happy to say, has admirably tried to take over for you as conductor of the unintentional comedy train. As the guy stomps and screams and gets red in the face, it leads one to believe that nobody would be surprised if he just flat-out punched a referee. I like that in an opposing coach. He also looks to me like a cast member of "Men in Black," and I always half expect his heart to give out after a tirade only to have his face open up and a small alien to be sitting at the controls inside
his head. Seriously, no one has ever given validity to the realism of that script like Frank. I think I speak for Jayhawk Nation when I say we are happy you were given that job just to keep Michael Beasley and Bill Walker from jumping ship after Bobby Huggins did the same. Best of luck after they leave for the NBA!
(Applause)
"And I want to wrap it up because I know this is getting long. To the current Jayhawks: we believe in you. We've seen you struggle to gain an identity.We've seen you lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. We have seen you come together and become an elite team. We believe you to be the best team in college basketball. Play to your potential this month and the first week of April and bring a championship back to Lawrence.I believe you will.
"Good night, Lawrence! Stay classy!

GREEN BAY, Wis. — After flirting with retirement for years, Brett Favre means it this time. The Green Bay Packers quarterback quit after a 17-season career in which he dazzled fans with his grit, heart and rocket of an arm.
After 17 years, Favre calls it a career
>> NFL
"I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, I'm just tired mentally," Favre told ESPN's Chris Mortenens in a voice mail message.
Tuesday's surprise move comes after the 38-year-old three-time MVP set several league records, including most career touchdown passes, in one of his most successful seasons.
Coach Mike McCarthy said Favre informed him of the decision by telephone Monday night.
"He said it was time for him to hang up the cleats," McCarthy said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
Packers general manager Ted Thompson thanked Favre for 16 years of wonderful memories with
"His accomplishments are legendary," Thompson said. "And it's the passion with which he played that made everyone a Brett Favre fan."
the team.
Last season, Favre broke Dan Marino's career records for most touchdown passes and most yards passing and John Elway's record for most career victories by a starting quarterback.
He retires with 5,377 career completions in 8,754 attempts for 61,655 yards, 442 touchdowns and 288 interceptions.
In his final season, Favre also extended his quarterback-record streak of consecutive regular-season starts to 253 games — illustrating his trademark toughness. Add the playoffs, and Favre's streaks stand at 275.
"The Packers owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude" Thompson said. "The uniqueness of Brett Favre his personality, charisma and love of the game — undoubtedly will leave him as one of the enduring figures in NFL history."

FORESTS
Forests are vital ecosystems that provide habitat for a wide range of species. They play an important role in carbon sequestration and climate regulation. However, deforestation can lead to loss of biodiversity and erosion.
The image shows a dense forest with tall trees and a river running through it. The trees are covered in leaves, indicating they are healthy and thriving. The river appears calm, suggesting a low level of water flow.
Despite its beauty, deforestation poses significant threats to our planet. Forests provide numerous benefits, including water supply, clean air, and biodiversity support. Therefore, it's crucial to take action to protect these essential ecosystems.
In the future, we should work towards reforesting areas where deforestation has occurred or is ongoing. This could involve planting new trees, using reforestation techniques like afforestation and reforestation along edges of deforested areas, and monitoring the health of these forests to ensure their continued survival.
Let's look at the bottom part of the image again. It looks like a camera or a video recorder. It's a device used to capture images or videos of the environment.
Wait, let me check the text below the image.

Yes, that's what I see.

During her tenure, Boyd has gone out to lunch with recruits, helped her teammates get in some extra shots and offered to do anything to improve the team. Henrickson understands and truly appreciates everything that Boyd has done in building the program.
BOYD (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"She's going to do a lot of special things in her life, just by how she's handled herself here," Henrickson said. "And what hasn't been easy, she's watched young kids come in and play in front of her, she's always helped tutor those kids and help mentor those kids and I will always have great respect for that."
MCINTOSH (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Boyd admits that the end doesn't quite feel real and that her four years have flown by and dragged on at the same time. Still, the 2004 Iowa Miss Basketball doesn't have any regrets.

"The word on the street was she wasn't going to work hard and she wasn't going to compete," Henrickson said. "I tell her I don't know who was trying to pay off, but we've never had that. She has always busted her tail to do things right."
McIntosh said she hasn't really thought about life after basketball, but said it will definitely be "weird" to not be around her teammates every day. She will graduate this spring as a prepharmacy major and hopes to begin working towards a graduate degree next fall upon acceptance into pharmacy school.
McIntosh said she hopes to end her career in Allen Fieldhouse with a win over the Jayhawk's in-state rivals, but regardless of the result she doesn't have any regrets about her decision to come to Lawrence four years ago.
"I was recruited by a couple other schools but once I got recruited by KU it was like 'I have to go there,'" McIntosh said.

Hawpe signs contract with Rockies
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUCSON, Ariz. — Brad Hawpe and Colorado agreed Tuesday to a $17,425,000, three-year contract, making the right fielder the fourth key Rockies player to receive a long-term deal after the team's first World Series appearance last October.
The deal, which includes a club option for 2011, replaces the $3,925,000, one-year contract that had been agreed to in January.
The 28-year-old Hawpe hit.291
"I think the Rockies have made a good commitment to the players and I think the players have worked hard to build up the franchise," Hawpe said. "I think there's a good thing going on here, not just the players and the front office, but everyone involved all the way through the minor league system."
last year with 29 homers and 116RBIs. He slumped against left-handed pitching for much of the summer, giving Ryan Spilborghs more playing time, although he finished strong against lefties down the stretch.
Hawpe hit .377 with runners in scoring position with two outs. He went 9-for-20 with the bases loaded, including his first career grand slam.
ROTE 22
Colorado also recently agreed to long-term deals with right-hander Aaron Cook ($34.5 million over four years), shortstop Troy Tulowitzki ($31 million over six years) and closer Manny Corpas ($8,025,000 over four years).
Left fielder Matt Holliday agreed to a $23 million, two-year deal, covering his arbitration eligibility. The next candidate for a multiyear deal could be third baseman Garrett Atkins.

Golfers complain about slow Tour play
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Complaints about slow play on the PGA Tour have been around forever, which is about how long it has been since anyone was given a one-stroke penalty for taking too long to hit a shot.
080794 Learn Your Own Way
KU Independent Study
"It was in Dallas," Dillard Prutt said Tuesday. "For two bad times in a round, I got a one-stroke penalty, a $1,000 fine and I had to play in the last group the next two weeks as long as it wasn't an invitational. That one stroke cost me $9,600 official money. The fact I can still remember that tells you something."
Over 150 KU classes are available through distance learning. Enroll and start any time!
The policy hasn't changed much over the years.
Once a group falls out of position and is put on the clock, the first player to hit is allowed 60 seconds; the others get 40 seconds. There is no penalty for the first bad time. The second bad time carries a one-stroke penalty, the third offense is a two-stroke penalty, and a fourth bad time is disqualification.
Actually, it was 16 years ago at the Byron Nelson Classic. And the victim of that one-stroke penalty is now a rules official who carries a stop watch.
As slow as it can get on the PGA Tour, why has no one been assessed a one-stroke penalty in 16 years?
"We're more intelligent than people think we are," the ever-sarcastic Paul Goydos said.

compared this to a state trooper who pulls over a motorist for going 100 mph. Instead of writing a ticket, the trooper says he will follow the driver for the next five miles to make sure he doesn't speed.
Tiger Woods was the latest to gripe about the pace of play. Given his stature in golf, his complaint figures to be the loudest.
In his monthly newsletter, Woods talked about his victory in the Accenture Match Play Championship, seeing his new sports drink on grocery shelves and having Van Halen play at his benefit concert this year. Then out of the blue came this.
"You have to be crazy to get two bad times," chief rules official Mark Russell said. "People don't get one bad time."
In the meantime, the tortoise is transforming into a snail.
"Before I go," he wrote, "I would like to talk about slow play. It's been an ongoing problem on the PGA Tour for a long time. I honestly believe the pace of play is faster in Europe and Japan. It has been suggested offenders be penalized with strokes. The problem is, you may get one guy that slows down a group for playing at a snail's pace and gets them all put on the clock, which isn't
fair. I know this is a complicated issue. Hopefully, it can be addressed in the near future."
"People play way,way too slow" he said.
Adam Scott was a little more succinct.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but Woods' comment came a week after the Match Play, where he played J.B. Holmes in the first round. Holmes already has a reputation as among the tortoises on tour, although not quite to the level of Ben Crane.
He visualizes each shot. He makes quick, repeating practice strokes with every club.
"A lot of old habits kick in when you're under pressure," Holmes said. "You're playing for $1 million. If somebody thinks I'm slow, or taking long, I don't care. Personally, I don't want to take that long. I'm working on that. I would rather be slow and win than rush something, hit a bad shot and not win."
And he makes few apologies.
One of the legends about Ben Hogan is the time a U.S. Open rules official warned him for slow play.
"If you're going to penalize me, do it now so I know where I stand." Hogan replied. "I'm not playing any faster."

Kansas State wins against Colorado
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. Michael Beasley, with an appreciative crowd hoping it wasn't his final game in Bramlage Coliseum, had 33 points to break Kansas State's season scoring record and lead the Wildcats past Colorado 78-72 on Tuesday night.
The 6-foot-
10 Beasley, with one regular-season game left in the finest season any Kansas State player has ever had, seems to be reaching
his highest levels as things wind down. It was his fourth straight 30-point game and he grabbed 14 rebounds for his 26th double-double, extending his own NCAA freshman record and setting the Big 12 mark.
"One more year, Michael. Please don't leave Michael."
Marcus Hall had 22 points for Colorado (11-18, 3-12) and Richard Roby, held to one point on 0-for-5 shooting in the first
ing slump with 25 points for the Wildcats (19-10, 9-6) snapped a four-game losing streak and may have assured themselves of their first NCAA tournament bid in 12 seasons.
Shouts of "One more year, Michael," and "Please don't leave, Michael" were heard all over the arena as the game began. While Beasley has said all season he would like to stay in school, he's likely to be the No. 1 overall pick if he goes into the NBA draft and would command a three-year contract worth about $14 million.

half, finished with 15.
State led 41-27 at halftime. But the Wildcats committed turnovers on five of their first seven possessions in the second half and Roby and Hall led the Buffaloes' comeback.
Hall's fastbreak basket got it to 56-52. Then Beasley, seeming to hang in the air, popped in a short jumper and a moment later completed a three-point play to lead an 8-0 run.
Beasley, who was 8-of-10 from the line and 1-of-3 from behind the 3-point arc, got the season scoring record on a goaltending call. With 780 points, he surpassed the record of 768 set by Mitch Richmond 20 years ago.

While his teammates were beating the Colorado Rockies 11-5 on Tuesday in Tucson, Hudson was working out at the Royals complex in Surprise. He has not appeared in the first six exhibition games and is not on the schedule to pitch anytime soon.

After seeing an entire half of Phi Delt 1's strengths and weaknesses, Pi Kapp decided to target those areas and use it to its advantage. Pi Kapp toughened up on its defense and marked solid outside shooting. Hitting a three pointer from just behind the arc, Tyler Fromm, Newton freshman, gave Pi Kapp a five-point lead. Even though it didn't have big men on the team, Pi Kapp stuck it out and rebounded the ball.
Still, the game proved to be challenging and entertaining to watch. With the playoffs in full swing and most teams entering the second round of elimination, it's getting more competitive. Both teams knew how to shoot three-pointers with ease and had strong defenses. Foul trouble early on became a problem for Pi Kapp and by the end of the game, two of its players nearly fouled out with four fouls each.
Jack Swab, Tulsa Okla. senior, shoots a layup during yesterday's 56-46 victory over Pi Kapp. The Phi Delt 1 victory advances them to tonight's playoff round in the intramural tournament.
"One of our big men couldn't make it work," Mark Miller, Topeka sophomore, said.
Both teams charged up and down the court making quick cuts and effortless shots. But, Phil Delt 1 made better use of the ball and won in a 56-46 victory
Before the first half ended, Phi Kapp called a timeout to rest and gain some inspiration from teammates. As the seconds ticked off alerting the first half was ending, the scoreboard read 31-19 with Phil Delt 1 in a 12-point lead.
"Going into this spring, I was shooting to be on the same program as everybody else," Hudson said. "It was frustrating when they told me I wasn't going to be. At the same time, I totally understand where they are coming from."
"One of our big men couldn't make it work."

Phi Delt 1 proves size doesn't matter
》 INTRAMURALS
BY WHITNEY HAMILTON whamilton@kansan.com
At first, Tuesday night's game against Phi Delt 1 and Pi Kapp at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center could have been mistaken for Kansas' Monday night blowout game against Texas Tech. Phi Delt 1 had a eight-point lead at the beginning of the first half. That quickly changed once Pi Kapp got into the groove of Phi Delt I's defense.
Hudson, a 30-year-old right-hander, made 15 starts in 2006 for the Royals and was being counted on to be a mainstay in their 2007 rotation. He missed the 2003 season after having shoulder surgery, then came down with a sore shoulder in spring training.

Phi Delt 1 assisted the ball and
Phi Delt I had a range of shooting abilities from dribbling down the paint and using the backboard to shooting around the arc. Phi Delt 1 player, J.D. Christie, Shawnee Mission sophomore, found a sweet spot at the top of the arc and hit a three-point shot that barely touched the net.
"We got down early and kept fighting," Drew Albers, Northfield, Minn., junior, said.
really took care of its teammates. In the second half, Brian Thies, Overland Park junior, dribbled the ball down the court for a lavup that
bounced back out. Christie quickly took care of it and guided the ball back into the hoop. Max Ward, Leawood sophomore, helped the team by scoring numerous twopointers on the baseline. Ward was the go-to guy when the defense surrounded shorter players or players were trapped in a corner. The matchup was an intense 40 minutes from beginning to end, but Pi Kapp couldn't keep up with Phi Delt 1 and fell short of a victory.
"It was a close game," Gilbert Keller, Shawnee Mission senior, said. "They shot the ball really well and gave us a good fight. They were a good team."
Phi Delt 1 will advance to the third round of the playoffs and will play the winner of the Delta Chi 1 and Beta A3 game tonight at 6.

TIPOFF
ATAGLANCE
Besides pride, Kansas still has a seed in the Big 12 tournament to play for. With a win and a Texas Tech loss it could get the ninth seed, which would mean a game against either Iowa State or Texas. A rematch with the Cyclones could be Just what the Jayhawks need in order to get a win in Kansas City, but to make that work they need to get freshman center Krysten Boogaard established Wednesday night. Kansas and Iowa State could match-up even if Kansas State wins. However, on Saturday we saw how that would turn out without a strong performance from Boogaard.
QUESTION MARK
Can senior forward Taylor Mcintosh pick up where she left off?
McIntosh has been hit or miss for most of the year, but Saturday she knocked one out of the park with 15 points, 16 rebounds, three steals and one block. Without her stellar play the Jayhawks wouldn't have been in the game at all. The realization that her Kansas career is coming to a close seems to have inspired McIntosh to step up her play and it's not a moment too soon. The Jayhawks still have plenty to play for and the co-captain can help them prolong their season — and her career — with another solid outing.

Worrying about how to miss a free throw with the game tied and 1.4 seconds on the clock is a strange thought, but it speaks volumes about the cool head McCray keeps in pressure situations. 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.

TIPOFF
This is a huge game for the Wildcats for two reasons. First, it's a chance to avenge this past season's loss in Allen Fieldhouse. Second, and more importantly, a win would give Kansas State at least a share of the Big 12 regular season championship. The Wildcats will be looking to jump out early and demoralize a Jayhawks squad that has hit a serious rough patch in February. It couldn't get much sweeter than celebrating a Big 12 title on their in-state rival's floor.
QUESTION MARK
Andrew Wiebe
Can Gipson and sophomore forward Ashley Sweat keep senior forward Taylor McIntosh off the offensive boards?
Kansas State may have a chance to clinch a Big 12 Championship on Naismith Court, but McIntosh may have something to say about that. It will be the senior's last game in front of the Allen Fieldhouse crowd, and she would love nothing more than to spoil the Wildcats party. Against Iowa State, Mcintosh pulled down eight offensive rebounds. If she can approach that number tonight, Kansas has a fighting chance.

Students in residence halls experience problems with anti-virus program
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com
Staunton said the first thing the Geek Squad employee asked him was whether or not he lived in the residence halls and had Sophos Antivirus installed on his computer.
When Brendan Staunton, San Diego freshman, came back from winter break, his computer had crashed. He took it to ResNet and called Dell several times before taking it to Geek Squad, the technical support group at Best Buy
According to ResNet's Web site, the University uses the Sophos program because ResNet volunteers are trained in dealing with it, and can therefore offer free technical support, and because it updates with the latest virus information.
When KU students sign up for Internet access from the residence halls and other on-campus housing, they are required to install Sophos Antivirus in order to connect.
Jennifer Torode, public relations manager for Sophos Plc., said the University reported a 99 percent installation and use success rate with Sophos users. She said that occasionally glitches happened.
According to Sophos' Web site, 1.5 million faculty, staff, and students use their software in an American university setting.
Torode also encouraged students having problems to talk to ResNet.
Bill Myers, director of assessment and outreach for information services, said that ResNet only knew of three Sophos-related problems out of around 4,000 subscribers.
He said that fewer than one percent of ResNot users have report.
ResNet users have reported problems with Sophos
Myers also said that the University has been using Sophos for about five years. He said the reasons for the University picking Sophos was that it ran better in tests against other antivirus programs like Norton and McAfee, detected some viruses that other programs didn't and took up less space than other programs.

"I don't know everything about computers, but I was a little shocked when I took it in to get it fixed and even the people
"I asked if Sophos was bad and he gasped because I guess it is that bad."
He also emphasized the importance of having an anti-virus program.
"Requiring a standard anti-virus package helps ensure the security of the network for everyone," Myers said.
Not all students are impressed with Sophos, though.
Staunton said that even the person he talked to at ResNet said Sophos was a "bad

After taking it to ResNet several times, Taylor said that he could download Sophos, but it wouldn't complete the checks

Amber Nelson, Denver freshman, said that a lot of her friends, including Taylor and Staunton, have had problems with ResNet. After she and her friends went to Geek Squad twice, she got a surprising answer.
required to actually complete the installation.
"I think that they should find some other way to make it easier for us to get Internet," Taylor said.
Staunton said that when he took his computer in to Geek Squad, they immediately guessed that Sophos was the problem, and said that they got computers that crash because of Sophos all the time.
"I asked if Sophos was bad and he gaspeu because I guess it is that bad," Nelson said.
"They shouldn't make us do Sophos, it's ridiculous," Taylor said.
Ryan Zindorf, an employee of Geek Squad, said that Sophos does not offer full protection against virus.
The best way to protect against viruses, Zindorf said, was to install a licensed copy of an anti-virus program like Norton and pair it with a spyware remover like SpySweeper. Those programs watch, protect, and remove harmful things.
Students should always watch what they download, and where they download from, Zindorf said. Peer-to-peer file sharing programs like Limewire and Morpheus can be dangerous, since you don't always know where the files are coming from or what they are.
Zindorf said that Sophos watches what you're doing and warns you if something is trying to install, but doesn't scan files or remove existing viruses.

Judo Club
Two Judo combatants spar on Aug. 19, 2007. Judo Club lets students practice a modernized version of the ancient martial art of Jiujuat.
BY HELEN MUBARAK
editor@kansan.com
Founded in 1962, the Judo Club allows students of all skill levels to learn the combat techniques of Judo and show off their skills in tournaments.
He said, during meetings, members begin by stretching and conditioning because Judo emphasizes safety. After warming up, the members practice throws and ground attacks before sparring.
Judo is a modernized version of the ancient martial art, Jujitsu, which was used in feudal Japan. The sport involves specialized pins, control holds and arm locks, as well as throwing and choking techniques.
Chris Coen, Prairie Village sophomore, joined the club after taking Judo as an elective.
"The thing I like most about Judo is the aggressive and physical style it has compared to other martial arts, which are weak and boring." Steele said.
Club president Chad Steele, Lawrence senior, began learning ludo five years ago.
("Judo) is a great thing to know",
Coen said. "It's a fun way to exercise
and learn some techniques that are
applicable."
In addition to the exercise aspect of the sport, Judo is also a method of self-defense. Practices involve uchikomi, which is partnered standing practice, and randori, controlled sparring.
"Judo is a great way to get exercise while choking people." Steele said.
Despite the aggressive nature of the sport, however, attitudes at Judo tournaments are not hostile. Club member Tim Bogner, Kansas State University graduate from Winfield, said the goal of tournaments is to practice Judo and build friendships around the sport. He said he has noticed camaraderie develop not only between members of the Judo Club at the University, but also between members of different teams.
"We still play competitively, but it isn't as though we're out to hurt each other," Bogner said. "Even if, for instance, a member of my club is in a bout with a member of another club and the other guy manages to throw our guy, we'll probably still applaud him if it was a very well-executed technique."
To join the club, each member must pay a $25 fee, which goes toward traveling for tournaments and
entrance fees. Funding from Student Senate subsidizes these costs.
"It's well worth the money, especially because we travel a lot," Steele said.
Bogner started practicing Judo through the club last year. He said he has noticed major improvements since his first tournament.
"I would definitely recommend the club to other people," Bogner
said.
No level of skill is necessary to join. The club meets Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Martial Arts Room of the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. Those interested in joining can send an email to judo@ku.edu.

returned from his annual trip to India.
His day is divided among students, facility, donors, alumni and legislators, business that starts at 7:30 a.m. and doesn't end until 8 p.m. However, his list of duties doesn't stop there.
He is the chief academic officer, responsible for implementing the academic mission of the University; superior education. Basically, this means frequent traveling and constant meetings.
Richard Lariviere, provost and executive vice chancellor, came to the University in 2006 leaving his position as the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas. Now the deans report to him.
"At KU, the provost is also the chief operating officer which means I have to make sure the side walks are shoveled." Lariviere said.
"This student body is much smaller than Texas so there's a more personal feel here," Lariviere said.
Lariviere said the best part of his job is serving the students. Recently the provost office created an online advising kit saving students and faculty valuable time. Now an advisor can look up students' appointment histories so when a student arrives, they can dive right into business.
"I think my favorite, no, I know my favorite part is when something that the provost office does makes it easier for the faculty and the students to do what they are here to do," Lariviere said.
He said if he could have things his way, there would be more money, more space, more faculty and better weather. Lariviere is also hopeful for Americans to open up their eyes. He travels to India on business and is fascinated by the dynamic economy in that region. He finds it discouraging that so many students consider India inferior to the United States.

"He really understands the world, which is tremendously helpful when it comes to education." Lynn Bretz Director of University Communications said.
Lariiviere is able to read half a dozen different languages and write published works in the Indian language Sanskrit, which can be found in the Watson Library. He can't recite all the places he's been without stopping for air.
"I've been to all the countries of Europe, most countries of Asia and South America, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Northern Africa and Texas," Lariviere said.
With such worldly experience he is able to see the University through a unique perspective. Lariviere said he has a definite vision for the University that he wants to achieve.
"KU is a really good institution it's a lot better than the rest of the world knows, it's even better than members of community understand." Lariviere said. "I would like to see KU take its rightful place in that pantheon of institutions that everybody instinctively thinks of when they think of great education."

Student plans 3,500-mile bike trip

Stephanie Meehan is riding across the country to raise awareness for the affordable housing; she has to do fundraising and train to bike. Meehan said she liked to train on the bike paths between Southwind Plaza and Clinton Lake.
This summer, Stephanie Meehan won't be working a job, completing an internship or going on a beach vacation. Instead, she will bike more than 3,500 miles across the country to raise awareness for affordable housing.
Meehan, Topeka senior, said she wanted to take the summer off after graduating and before going to graduate school in the fall. Then, a friend at another university mentioned the Bike and Build program and Meehan decided to become an activist.
Bike and Build started in 2002 to raise awareness for affordable housing. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 12 million people pay more than 50 percent of their yearly income on their home, which leaves many unable to afford other living expenses. For Bike and Build, riders bike across the country during a summer, averaging 70 miles a day. Every few days, bikers stop at a building site of organizations like Habitat for Humanity and help build affordable houses.
"Affordable housing is not a cause I ever really thought of before," Meehan said. "It doesn't cross people's minds enough."
Meehan and her friend chose the Boston to Santa Barbara, Calif. route because Meehan had never been to the east coast before. Then they started preparing for the long fundraising and training journey ahead.
Meehan has to raise $4,000 to go on the ride, as required by the program. She has $600, but said if she didn't raise the money, she didn't get to go on the trip. She said most of the money went back into the organizations the program collaborates.

Stephanie Meehan is biking across the country to help give people better homes, but must raise $4,000 to go on the trip. Here's how to help.

SELECT Meehan's name as the rider you would like to sponsor
All donations are tax deductible
Bikers must also get eight hours of experience on a building job site before going on the trip.
"We aren't actually raising money to send somewhere, but we actually get to see and do," Meehan said.
She said that part of the draw for the program was to spread awareness, and that bikers give a presentation at each stop of the two-month-long trip.
"This is genuine," Meehan said. "If you didn't want to do it you wouldn't bike across the country."
The group isn't hard to miss because all 30 bikers in the group wear the same jersey. They also bike near each other.
TRAINING FOR THE TRIP
Meehan said she was naturally an athletic person, so her friends weren't surprised she decided to go on the trip. Meehan said that in high school she was on the swim team. Now she swims up to three times a week, runs often and does 40-minute bike rides.
"It's all about being fit enough," she said.
Last summer, Meehan completed two triathlons and still regularly rides to campus when the weather
is nice. However, two triathlons of bike-riding don't equal the 3,656 miles she'll ride this summer. When the weather improves, she said she would ride with the Lawrence Bicycle Club.
"Grinnell (college) and my parents have taught me the importance of giving back to others," Kossoy said.
Meehan's friend Allie Kassoy was on the swim team with Meehan in high school. Though graduating, she said she was burnt out academically. She also said she was really passionate about sports, so biking across the country with a friend sounded like fun. She said nostalgia about her own childhood home led her to want to help people without their own.
The cross-country trip will keep a structured schedule, with the usual wake-up call at 6 a.m. Riders will sleep at churches, host homes, or wherever the trip coordinator can find. By 7:30 a.m., the group will leave. They can stop along the way for meals, pictures or sightseeing. They don't have to stay together as a group, because some members cycle faster than others. Meehan said they would shower when they can, and go without when a shower
is not available. She said riders got only 4,500 cubic inches of space for their luggage and everything they need must fit there.
BUILDING AWARENESS
Brendan Newman, Bike and Build program director, said the goal of the program was to get college-aged people involved with issues and to keep them involved.
It worked for Newman. He completed the program in the summer of 2006 and liked it so much that he decided to work for the program.
"You pretty much fall in love with it," Newman said.
The program started in 2002 with two routes and has been full every year since then. This summer, the program will offer seven separate routes, each with about 30 riders.
Newman said he started receiving applications in September, and some 18 to 25 year-olds come back for second or third trips. Others, he said, weren't as experienced.
"Some people have never ridden a bike in their life," Newman said.

senate notebook
Student Senate committees met last night at the Burge Union. Bills that pass both committees that they go through will head to full Senate next Wednesday.
Multicultural fund put under Senate rules
Both the finance committee and student rights committee passed legislation to move the Multicultural Education Fund Board under the authority of Student Senate Rules and Regulations. The board is in Appendix N of Student Senate Rules and Regulations, which is not subject to Senate oversight.
Brian Hardouin, law senator, said moving the board would increase accountability for student fees. He also said that moving the board would make fees subject to Student Executive Committee review.
Students chose through referendum to pay $1.50 per semester to the board, which equals about $80,000.The board then helps fund multicultural events and groups.The board is classified as a funding board,which is not subject to a fee review every three years like other boards are.
Nancy Hoch, chair of the Multicultural Education Fund Board, said she agreed the board needed some kind of review, but did not agree that Studex should be the body that reviews. She suggested instead that a new appeals board be created to review all groups like the board.
"I don't think Senate appeals to Studex through
process should be directed solely at MEF," Hoch said.
Creation of a National Latino Fraternity seat
The student rights committee unanimously passed legislation to create a Senate seat to represent the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organization, or NAFLO. The three other Greek organizations have representatives on Senate.
Jason Oruch, off-campus senator who wrote the bill, said the University's NAFLO was one of two in the entire nation. He said creating a seat for the organization would set a precedent for other schools around the country.
Oruch said members of Latino fraternities and sororities created NAFLO this year after being asked to leave the National Pan-Hellenic Council, an organization of black fraternities and sororites. The Latino organizations were not one of the nine nationally-approved NPHC members, so the national organization told the Lawrence chapter to remove them.
Expansion of KJHK
The finance committee passed legislation to fund the $75,000 KJHK 90.7 FM expansion project. The bill was passed last semester in students right committee but tabled in finance. Funds from the project will come from the Student Senate Reserve Account if passed in full Senate.

Dole Institute program pairs politics with pepperoni
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
upcoming pizza and politics
Today, a correspondent for the New York Post will speak to students about what it's like to ride in Hillary Clinton's personal jet and report her campaign's every move. He, along with a man elected to the Kansas legislature at 22 years-old and the woman responsible for overseeing more than 1,700 insurance companies in Kansas, are part of the revamped Pizza and Politics program.
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, which plays co-host to the events with the University of Kansas Alumni Association, said that attendance had doubled this year compared to 2004, the year the program started.

Thursday, March 6 at 12:20 pm at the Alumni Association
Tom Cox, Shawnee senior and organizer of the event, said the program, which is held during lunchtime and offers free pizza and a

political discussion, averaged 60 students per event. Cox works for the Dole Institute.
Cox said this year he wanted to find speakers who would appeal to more students. Cox said that he chose speakers and then organized a discussion based on the speaker's area of expertise.
"My goal was to get students whod never heard about Pizza and Politics to hear about it," Cox said. "If nothing else, they're interested in a free lunch."
Cox coordinated a lunch last fall that brought in Josh Svaty (D—Ellsworth) and Kevin Yoder (R—Overland Park), two Kansas legislators who were less than 30 years old. Swaty was 22 when he was elected to the State House of Representatives, which made him the second-youngest elected representative ever in Kansas. Yoder was a former KU student body president, so Cox said many students came to the event because it related to them.
Svaty said he liked talking to
the students because they were so interested and engaged in politics already and because it was a fun atmosphere.
"We stayed quite a while afterward to talk to. Svayted. Svyted."
Cox, who said he researched for this event and others, said he walked out more informed each time.
"It's difficult to walk out knowing the same amount as when you went in," Cox said.
Amanda Applegate, Wichita junior, said she had been going to Pizza and Politics for about a year. She is now the chairwoman of the subcommittee for Pizza and Politics, and even as a pharmacy major, she said politics were important.
"Politics affect everybody whether they like it or not." Applegate said.
Applegate said she pushed to bring in Sandy Praeger, Kansas Insurance Commissioner, as a guest. Praeger will talk about health care reform and the presidential candidates' health insurance plans, which Applegate said should appeal to pharmacy and pre-med majors as well as political science majors.
"Politics affect how we will practice." Applegate said.
Jonathan Earle, interim director of the Dole Institute, started Pizza and Politics in fall 2004 as an idea borrowed from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He said it was a way to attract people who wouldn't normally go to West Campus to Dole Institute events. In summer 2006, a student took over the program and now a student-run board monitors it.
Earle said the guests often spoke at other Dole Institute events but he asked them to come early for Pizza and Politics. He said he paid speakers for their travel costs but nothing else, and the students in charge organized all lunches and helped choose the speakers.
"I tell them to put me into bank-
ruptyc with how many pizzas we have to buy," Earle said.
Earle said the event was even advertised by Marc Langston, Wichita senior and three-year Pizza and Politics veteran, who put on a pizza slice costume.
"I'll never forget introducing myself to Senator Dole in his law office in Washington, D.C. as he remarked 'I think I saw a picture of you as a pizza.' Langston said.
Today's speaker, Geoff Earle, is the Washington, D.C. correspondent for the New York Post and is covering Clinton's presidential campaign. Earle travels with Clinton on her personal jet and stays in the same hotels, so he is close to the politics and can tell students what it is really like on the campaign trail. The event will be from 12:15 to 1:45 p.m. at the Adams Alumni Center.

Tension escalates as Venezuela stations troops on Colombian border
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS. Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez portrayed himself as a man of peace Wednesday, even as he moved tanks and soldiers to the Colombian border in a growing crisis set off by Colombia's weekend attack on leftist rebels hiding in Ecuadorine territory.
Most of the 9,000 soldiers mobilized by Chavez have reached the frontier and are "ready to defend the sacred sovereignty of the homeland" if necessary against Colombia's U.S.-supported military, the defense ministry said. Ecuador said it sent 3,200 soldiers to its border with Colombia on Monday.
Chavez blamed the crisis on the
U. S. "empire and its lackeys" — Colombia's conservative government — saying they pose a constant threat of war in the region, not Venezuela or Ecuador. "We are peace. We are the path to peace." the leftist leader said in a televised speech.
Chavez and his ally, Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa, have been seeking international condemnation of Colombia for the commando raid on Ecuadorean soil that killed a key Colombian rebel leader and other guerrillas Saturday.
They scored a victory of sorts in Washington on Wednesday, where the Organization of American States approved a resolution drafted jointly by Ecuador and Colombia declaring the attack a violation of Ecuador's sovereignty. The resolution also
called for OAS Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza to lead a delegation to both countries to help ease tensions.
The United States was the only OAS nation offering Colombia unqualified support. Many other countries worried openly about the attack inside Ecuador, which along with Venezuela has been accused by Colombian officials of providing refuge to leftist Colombian guerrillas.
Correa called Colombian President Alvaro Uribe a liar who "wanted war," and warned that if the attack went unpunished, "the region will be in danger, because the next victim could be Peru. It could be Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, any one of our countries."
Uribe, whose decision to attack
the rebel camp reflected his frustration over the ability of guerrillas to find refuge across poorly patrolled jungle borders, said he would not mobilize troops or allow his nation to be drawn into war with his neighbors.
The attack killed two dozen rebels, including Raul Reyes, the public face of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, who was involved in
the hostage negotiations.
Ecuador's security minister, Gustavo Larrea, conceded that problem. The FARC had promised not to operate inside Ecuador, and the attack showed the rebels "did not keep their promise," he said. Correa suggested Colombia's attack was carried out to sabotage efforts by Venezuela and Ecuador to persuade the rebels to release more hostages.
Colombia's government says its commandos recovered a laptop computer full of documents that it alleges show FARC has ties to both Chavez and Correa.
In Washington, a top U.S. diplomat said American experts would soon examine the computer's hard drive. "This is the first time that we've stumbled across something coming from the FARC drawing such a straight line" between the rebels and Chavez, Assistant Secretary of State Thomas A. Shannon said.
In his speech, Chavez did not refer to Colombian allegations that he had given $300 million to the FARC and conspired with the rebels to embarrass Colombia's government. Venezuela earlier denied the
charges.
Other documents released by Colombia suggest Reyes was secretly negotiating with representatives of France, Venezuela, Ecuador, the U.S. and other nations on freeing hostages, including French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and three American defense contractors.
Those representatives were salo to include Larrea, Ecuador's security minister, who said he didn't rule out the possibility the rebels still might release Betancourt.
"We think an adequate response, in this critical moment for the Andean region, is that they free the hostages," he said.

Students enjoy participating in study abroad activities. The EU Atlantis program is a joint effort between two American and two European universities. It is funded by the federal FIPSE program.
Chemistry majors find formula for success Atlantis to whisk students away
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE
csmommerville@kansan.com
The University of Kansas is offering a study abroad program in Germany and Ireland, but it's not for architecture or art.
It's for chemistry.
Last year, the KU chemistry department started the EU Atlantis Program, a study abroad program with the University of Arkansas, Dublin City University in Ireland, and the University of Regensburg in Germany.
There are six slots available, and a $12,000 scholarship will be given to all students that participate.
The program is split between Dublin and Regensburg and is for a full school year.
"This is really the first year that we're really advertising broadly," said Jeffrey Aube, professor of medicinal chemistry.
Last year, the University was busy making arrangements.
The $12,000 scholarship is funded by a part of the Department of Education and the European Union.
Funds for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education, or FIPSE, provided the funding.
Aube said that this program was unique, because there weren't as many chemistry study abroad programs as others.
Students who participate in the program will be taking the same kind of courses they would at the University, as well as studying German.
Students who complete the program will be eligible for a Bachelor of Science chemistry degree from the University of Kansas and the University of Regensburg.
The deadline for the fall semester is March 17 and the deadline for spring is Oct. 1. Students who are currently working toward a degree in chemistry are eligible to apply.

Bull breeder hopes to clone prize fighter
GUADALIX DE LA SIERRA, Spain — Alcalde, a bulking black bull, is quite the stud. He sires up to 40 calves a year, most of them top-grade fighters, even though in human terms he would be almost 80 years old and is nearing the end of his life.
Victoriano del Rio, a fifth-generation breeder of fighting bulls, cringes at the thought of losing an animal with such good genes. So he is going to clone him — an unprecedented marriage of modern technology and the Spanish-speaking world's ancient, beloved pastime.
"I am extremely fond of this bull," del Rio said at his ranch in this town outside Madrid, watching 16-year-old Alcalde graze with some of his latest offspring. "He has given us tremendous satisfaction."
While a bull in its prime can sire as many as 80 calves a year, Alcalde's record is "exceptional" for an animal of his advanced age, del Rio said.
The Spaniard is not alone in the adventure. Rancher Jose Manuel Fernandez in Mexico plans to replicate Zalamero, another aging bull that achieved the rare feat of dodging death in the ring: In 1994, Zalamero put up such a relentless fight one autumn day that judges spared his life. Since then he has been a priceless stud.
While Alcalde never fought in the ring, he comes from a prestigious bloodline and has proved to be a producer of champions.
Fernandez is so bullish on cloning he envisions a future in which an afternoon at the arena — usually three matadors taking on two bulls each — might involve six genetically identical twins created from the same beast.
"What I am looking for is a path toward innovation in bullfighting." Fernandez said from Mexico City. "We are trying to give the show greater quality."
If all goes as planned, Zalamero II — or several of them, because Fernandez is trying for four or five — will be born in November or December. Alcalde's clone would be born in May or June of 2009.
It involves inserting the nucleus of a somatic cell from the bull — any cell that is not a sperm cell — into a cow egg cell that has been stripped of its nucleus. The egg undergoes electrical and chemical stimulation to make it divide and grow into an embryo. This is then implanted in a surrogate cow to be carried to term.
Both breeders have hired ViaGen, a cloning company based in Austin, Texas, to do the job. The technique is essentially the same one used in 1996 to copy the sheep Dolly, the world's first cloned mammal.
ViaGen spokesman Ben Carlson confirmed the orders from del Rio and Fernandez, but would not comment on pregnancies or expected birth dates. Carlson said the breeders would pay standard cattle cloning prices: $17,500 for the first calf, $15,000 for the second, $12,500 for the third and $10,000 for the fourth and beyond.

Band combines genres, creates beat
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
San Francisco - based Chow Nasty wants everyone who attends its shows to come away with something. As such, the "electro-sexual" trio's music and stage act are intended to appeal, above all, to a live audience.
"We try to get everybody," bass player Joey Enos said. "Even the drunk, pissed-off guy at the end of the bar. If we can get him listening and tapping his foot then we've done our job."
On Monday at the Replay Lounge, Chow Nasty will perform in Lawrence for the first time as part of the tour promoting its second full album, "Super (Electrical) Recordings". Lead vocalist and guitar player Damon Harris said Chow Nasty combines electronica, funk, R&B and soul into a dance beat heavy mixture that's "primal" nature is especially conducive to live performances.
"We love playing live," said Harris, who includes James Brown, Tom Petty and the Beach Boys as some of his musical influences. "It's the cornerstone of our thing."
Percussion expert Zac Hewitt said the band's high energy music and stage presence have been getting audiences to hit the dance floor since the band's beginnings in Chicago. Chow Nasty eventually moved onto the West Coast.
"We put on a show that they couldn't have expected at all."

Hewitt said. "You see them and they're all riled up and had a good time."
Chow Nasty's driving bass is a result of the drum machines and synthesizers it uses in place of a human drummer, Harris said. The band got its start playing warehouse parties, but its current tour includes stops in smaller, more intimate venues. Harris said the trio was originally scheduled to perform in Lawrence at the Jackpot, but a mix up moved the performance to the Replay.
Although Chow Nasty has never performed in Kansas, Enos said they were looking forward to performing in front of people who may have never heard of them or their music. Harris agreed. He said the band takes pride in making everyone in the venue comfortable, involved and moving to the beat.
"We really try to not have any pretension or judgment in the room." Harris said. "Just something where people can really feel free."

Palestine agrees to peace talks with Israel
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — The moderate Palestinian leadership agreed under heavy U.S. pressure Wednesday to resume peace talks with Israel, dropping a demand that Israel first reach a truce with Islamic Hamas militants acting as spoilers.
The announcement gave Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a modest accomplishment for a brief troubleshooting mission. It left open the question of how both sides will eventually confront Hamas militants in charge of the 1.4 million Palestinians — nearly half the population — living in the sealed-off Gaza Strip.
"The peace process is a strategic choice and we have the intention of resuming the peace process," Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said. He did not say when talks would restart, but U.S. and other officials predicted it would be in about a week.
Rice said Abbas had assured her he will return to talks. Doing so is a political risk for Abbas, who had broken off negotiations last weekend to protest an especially deadly Israeli military incursion into Gaza. More than 120 Palestinians were killed, along with three Israelis, over a week of heightened violence.
If Israeli-Palestinian talks resume as pledged it will essentially restore the precarious balance in place since President Bush announced last fall that the two sides would resume full negotiations for the first time in seven years. The talks are supposed to frame a deal for a Palestinian state this year.
Israeli and West Bank Palestinian negotiators had been meeting regularly, and keeping their discussions secret, before Abbas pulled out. The talks had produced nothing in public, and were undermined on the one hand by continued Israeli housing activity on land the Palestinians claim

and on the other by the inability of Palestinian security forces to control militants.
Earlier Wednesday, Abbas had said he would not restart negotiations until Israel declared a truce in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Although he holds no authority in Gaza since Hamas' violent takeover there last June, a Gaza truce could benefit Abbas. Israeli military action is so unpopular in both territories, and across the Arab world, that it undermines Abbas' authority and makes it politically difficult for him to negotiate with Israel.
Israel and the United States fear that negotiations for a cease-fire would give Hamas a political legitimacy it does not deserve.
Abbas backed down after Rice called him in alarm just before an afternoon press conference with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, where Rice planned to announce an agreement reached that morning to revive talks.
N. C. O. H. L.
Gaza, and the deep Palestinian leadership split it represents, hangs over the discussions. Israel and the United States have pinned peace hopes on Abba's moderate-led government in the West Bank while refusing contact with Hamas, which they call a terrorist organization. Israel has also tried to punish the militants for indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza into southern Israel by closing borders with Gaza and cutting utilities.
U. S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, left, speaks during her joint press conference with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, right, in a Jerusalem hotel, Wednesday. Rice said that the Palestinians and Israel plan to return to the negotiating place.

Money is not your greatest motivator, by any means. It's nice to have, however. No need to turn it down, if you come about it honestly.
You're more confident now, and very creative. Begin a project you've been thinking about. There'll be a few problems, but you'll emerge triumphant.

Poetry still breathing despite archaic sounding rhythm

Athletics needs our money!

© DhruvDevinj 3-6-2008
Poems are like drugs—easy to get hooked on and readily available. This is something I have discovered in my first poetry class.
Poetry isn't just for love-sick girls waiting for Lloyd Dobbler to show up with a boom-box outside their window or chain-smoking English majors who think they're the next Shakespeare.
Poetry is change. Poetry is music.
Poetry is "gleaming walls of Orangina bottles." (According to Harryette mullen).
Poetry is something different for every individual, something you should take the opportunity to explore.
Last week, as part of An Actual Kansas Reading Series run by Robert Baumann and Anne Boyer, Tao Lin and faculty member Deb Olin Unferth read at the 6 Gallery downtown. Lin's fictional story of Dakota Fanning and Haley Joel Osmond's suicide partnership and Unferth's vivid description of what happens when you leave a prostitute in your apartment were certainly original ideas which made for one of the more entertaining readings I've been to.
Also, this past week Paul Muldoon gave a lecture called "The Eternity of the Poem" as part of the Humanities Lecture Series. The Times Literary Supplement described him as "the most significant English-language poet born since the second World War." He was described by my poetry professor as quite possibly "one of the highest regarded living poets today".
As I sat between two of my classmates at his lecture, my谊思 thoughts crossed my mind such as "I never knew there were so many poems about snails" and "I wonder if he uses hair products?" (Those of you who have seen his wonderfully unique hair lately will understand that one.)
For those of you who only think you can handle poetry with a little alcohol in your system, try the Jazzhaus's Fresh Ink Spoken Word and Poetry. The next one is April 2.
I know you must be pretty bummed you missed out on hookers, snails and questionable hair product, but not to fear. Today Lyn Hejinian is reading at the Spencer Art Museum at 4 p.m. and then speaking about poetry at 7:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union.
For further opportunities become a frequenter of anactualblogspot.com. Want to actually write a poem and read it to people? Try Aimee's open mic night the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at 8 p.m.
As Muldoon said last week "One of the great things about poetry is that for the most part it doesn't go on for too long." So with that in mind, read a poem. You know you can read since you've made it this far in the column, and that's pretty much all the skill it takes. Walt Whitman said "To have great poets, there must be great audiences." He means you.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Senate relationship compromises constituents' interests
Student Senate needs to stop accepting gifts from Kansas Athletics Inc. because doing so presents a conflict of interest between the Athletics Department and those whom the Senate is supposed to serve - the student body.
For at least the past five years, the student body president and vice-president have enjoyed unlimited access to a Memorial Stadium suite to watch home football games, courtesy of Kansas Athletics Inc. They have also been flown by the Athletics Department to another university to attend an away KU football game. This past season, President Hannah Love and Vice President Ray Wittlinger accompanied the football team and athletics brass to College Station, Texas to see the jayhawks take on Texas A&M.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said giving students access to the suit gives them valuable exposure to politicians, the media and other KU administrators, broadening their horizons and making them better leaders. As for the trip to college station, Marchiony said it provides the student representatives with chances to see other Big 12 schools and how they works.
Wittlinger wrote in an e-mail response that "this opportunity allows us to better understand the time commitment and experience of student athletes as they balance academics and athletics." He added that they also met with the members of the Texas A&M student Senate to swap various program ideas.
Collaborating with other university Senates is a great idea, which is why there are at least two student governing conferences per year where executive boards of Big 12 schools get together and talk campus politics. Expenses for these events come out of the Senate reserve fund. The fall conference this past semester was at the University of Texas, only one week after Love and Wittlinger visited Texas & M.
Learning about the competitive process and coming home with governing ideas that could've been exchanged just a week later isn't worth creating a future situation where Senate has to choose between those who have hooked them up and the students they are charged with serving.
Love and Wittlinger are entrusted by students with the monumentally
important responsibility of presiding over $18 million paid by students. They, along with their Senate, must allocate this money in a way that best serves the students. The current Senate has failed the students (and Senate's own rules) by not passing a bill that would eliminate the $40 per semester women's and non-revenue Sports fee, which sends $1.8 million annually to fund Athletics Department projects that aren't open to all KU students.
This, along with accepting freebies from Kansas Athletics Inc., invites questions about who Senate
is really answering to.
Kansas Athletics Inc., which is not technically affiliated with the University, receives more of Senate's attention than most University entities. The $40 athletics fee is the second most expensive student fee, second only to the $105.75 Student Health Fee, which provides all students with a number of free medical services.
Some senators agree that the athletics fee is excessive.
"I think it' s vital for student Senate to have a relationship with athletics," said Michael Wade Smith, freshman
senator. "But not a $1.8 million relationship."
Student-athletes deserve to be heard just as much as any other student group. But Senate needs to rethink handing out our money to a third party that generated $100 million in revenue during the 2006-2007 academic year.
To ensure Senate transparency, this discussion with the athletics department needs to come on neutral ground, not on a Boeing 747.

COMMENTARY
Lawrence drivers break for pot holes, honk for better roads
ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
I'm driving down the road bumping Kanye West's Graduation cd and applying lip gloss. "That that don't kill me, can only make me strong..." BAM!
I smear lip gloss on my cheek and my CD player cuts out for about three seconds. Was it because my NASCAR-like driving skills during multi-tasking caused a wreck?
BAM!
It was none of them actually. Rather, it was an all to familiar encounter for me and my car with one of Lawrence's most notorious street characteristics: potholes.
Although the city has a reported $5.3 to $5.4 million budget, it may appear to most that not much of that budget is actually going to street repair. According to Dena Mezger, the city assistant for public works, a major part of that money is used on in-house materials and the major contracted projects every year, which include concrete and curb replacement.
We've all taken that corner too sharply not while paying particular
attention until one of our front tires slams into a mini-gorge in the road, then we curse the free world.
Or was it a squirrel?
Growing up in Kansas, I've been well aware of the versatile range of weather we experience here. These past couple years have been colder and harsher than usual.
I believe our cars can testify to the effectiveness of those "replacements"
Potholes work likes this: Ice expands and when moisture gets under the concrete turning into ice, during the freeze-thaw cycle during expansion, it pops the pavement up.
I may be a country girl with little knowledge regarding the concrete and pavement business that big city men are involved in, but I'm just curious why there hasn't been a more effective process implemented to prevent the extreme rise of pot-holes during the winter months.
Areas around campus especially have treacherous potholes littered up and down the streets. I found certain areas in particular that appear to do the most wear and tear on a car. Go south down Mississippi street away from 9th street and there are at least six noticeable chunks of road missing. Jayhawk Boulevard by the Union is screaming to be filled in.
Continue south on Mississippi Street and curve around on Memorial Drive by Potter Lake and it gets even bumper with the road uneven and baby potholes loudly making their presence known.
The Jayhawk Bookstore at the top of the hill was surrounded by a couple of massive potholes on the corner of Naismith Drive. They've been filled, however, for now. Not paying attention going around that corner made me cringe; the loud
thud it made sounded as if it did irreparable damage.
By Allen Fieldhouse and the SRFC, the roads aren't too bad, for on campus. But farther outside of campus, around the student ghetto, the roads almost get worse. I have to go down Ohio between 13th and 14th streets every day, and my car sounds like it's going to pop out on me every time for subjecting it to those painful blows from the potholes.
The city says it seals cracks every year, but my behind is still feeling the bump. It's cold. I know, and we've only had a few warm days in which those wonderful city men can get out and save our cars from the agony, but is there no way end this annual cycle? Perhaps the city could take the millions of dollars that it is asking for to build the Oread Inn and use it to re-pave our streets.

》 INSURANCE
Forum teaches students about American health system
BY JESSICA WICKS
lwicks@kansan.com
Jennifer Thomas, Scott City junior, pays $950 a month in private family insurance because she has a son with a disability. Amy Lindgren, Houston junior, doesn't have personal health insurance at all.
Thomas and Lindgren attended a forum at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center Wednesday, which addressed the American health care system and privatized insurance.
"I could pay the $340 a month, but it doesn't make any sense," Lindgren said. "I just go to Watkins."
David Goering, a physician at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and president of Kansas Health Care for All, said that Lindgren was among many Americans who risk living without insurance, but overall, Americans paid heavily for these risks.
Compared to other industrialized nations, the United States ranks the lowest in life expectancy and the highest in infant mortality. Goering said.
He said he worked with the uninsured patients daily and could see the crisis in its trenches, right here in Lawrence.
"This is not only a crisis at the poverty level," Goering said, "but it has really hit the middle class."
Goering said that more than 47 million Americans lacked health care coverage and that about 80 percent of those uninsured people were employed.
The problem, he said, was that private insurance companies were using America's health problems as an opportunity for profit rather than caring about individual people. Goering said people should ask whether health care was a human
right or a privilege.
Thomas said that she would like to find a cheaper plan, but her son just doesn't qualify for any.
"When they find out he has a disability, they immediately deny the application," Thomas said.
Thomas said that a few years ago she was denied personal insurance because she was classified as obese. Obese was described as weighing more than 135 pounds for her height, about 5-foot-5. According to the Center for Disease Control, Thomas' insurance provider's standard for obesity rates a 22.5 on the body mass index. The CDC recommends that a body mass of 24.9 is still within the healthy limits of an adult. While Americans like Thomas continue to be denied basic coverage, CEO's from insurance companies continue to benefit.
Individuals attending the talk gasped when they learned how much money insurance company CEO's earned while middle class families were being denied basic health care.
In 2005, United Health CEO William McGuire made upward of $37 million annually. He resigned in 2006 because of stock fraud, but his exit compensation was $1.1 billion.
Lindgren said that individuals without private health insurance ended up having to pay more because the insurance companies get bargains from health care providers that the individuals can't get.
"I actually tried to negotiate once. I told them I would pay what the insurance companies get to pay," Lindgren said. "They looked at me like I was crazy."
Thomas said she couldn't believe that the government has let insurance companies take advantage of Americans for this long.
She said that when her mother
had surgery, her mother was covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield. After the procedure, Blue Cross said her mother was not covered completely because her physician did not have a contract with them. The operation cost $65,000. Blue Cross cut her a check for only $6,000 because that was how much Blue Cross would have negotiated to pay the physician.
Making a change in how the American system works is not an easy process, Goering said. The Clinton administration tried and failed in the early '90s to implement a national health care system. Meanwhile, the cost of insurance has risen exponentially, according to Physicians for a National Health Program.
Salaries of health insurance company CEO's, in millions
Goering said that the cost of insurance was mostly administrative. Insurance companies have hired 2,500 percent more administrators since 1970, while the number of physicians has only grown 160 percent. So Americans are paying nearly 40 percent in insurance administrative costs before they even start paying for actual medical procedures, Goering said. He said that health care should not be a for-profit business. Goering said with a national health care plan, the government could not discriminate who they gave coverage to, and since it would be non-profit, people would not pay more than necessary.
William McGuire United Health 37.7
Dale Wolf Coventry 22.8
John Rowe Aetna 19.7
Anthony Marlon Sierra 19.3
Edward Hanaway Cigna 17.7
Larry Glasscock Wellpoint 16.3
"Physicians would no longer focus on what the patient can afford, but what they need for the long run," Goering said.
Goering said that government health care would allow people to take care of health issues at the first sign instead of waiting until it gets so serious that they cannot ignore it. Americans are not inclined to take on a health care system like Canada or Great Britain, Goering said, because many American's believe it is not the government's responsibility.
Referring to other nations' health care systems, Goering said, "No other industrial nation has decided to adopt a national system and then switched back."

RESEARCH
Photo uncovered showing Helen Keller with teacher
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Researchers have uncovered a rare photograph of a young Helen Keller with her teacher Anne Sullivan, nearly 120 years after it was taken on Cape Cod and tucked inside a family album.
The photograph, shot in July 1888 in Brewster, shows an 8-year-old Helen sitting outside in a light-colored dress, holding Sullivan's hand and cradling one of her beloved dolls.
Experts on Keller's life believe it could be the earliest photo of the two women together and the only one showing the blind and deaf child with a doll — the first word Sullivan spelled for Keller after they met in 1887 — according to the New England Historic Genealogical Society, which now has the photo.
For more than a century, the photograph was hidden in an album that belonged to the family of Thaxter Spencer, an 87-year-old man in Waltham.
Spencer's mother, Hope Thaxter
Parks, often stayed at the Elijah Cobb House on Cape Cod during the summer as a child. In July 1888, she played with Keller, whose family had traveled from Tuscumbia, Ala., to vacation in Massachusetts.
Spencer, who doesn't know which of his relatives took the picture, told the society that his mother, four years younger than Helen, remembered Helen exploring her face with her hands.
In June, Spencer donated a large collection of photo albums, letters, diaries and other heirlooms to the genealogical society, which preserves artifacts from New England families for future research.
It wasn't until recently that staff at the society realized the photograph's significance.
D. Brenton Simons, the society's president and CEO, said the photograph offers a glimpse of what was a very important time in Keller's life.
Sullivan was hired in 1887 to teach Keller, who had been left blind and deaf after an illness at the age of one-
and-a-half. With her new teacher, Keller learned language from words spelled manually into her hand. Not quite seven, the girl went from an angry, frustrated child without a way to communicate to an eager scholar.
While "doll" was the first word spelled into her hand, Helen finally comprehended the meaning of language a few weeks later with the word "water", as famously depicted in the film "The Miracle Worker". Sullivan stayed at her side until her death in 1936, and Keller became a world-famous author and humanitarian. She died in 1968.
Jan Seymour-Ford, a research librarian at the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, which both Sullivan and Keller attended, said she was moved to see how deeply connected the women were, even in 1888.
"The way Anne is gazing so intently at Helen, I think it's a beautiful portrait of the devotion that lasted between these two women all of Anne's life," Seymour-Ford said.
This 1888 photo released by the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston shows Helen Keller when she was eight years old, holding hands with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, during a summer vacation to Brewster, Mass., on Cape Cod.

CRIME Former sailor convicted of supporting terrorists
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A former Navy sailor has been convicted of leaking details about his ship's movements to suspected terrorism supporters.
Jurors were in their second day of deliberations when they convicted Hassan Abu-Jihaad of Phoenix of providing material support to terrorists and disclosing classified national defense information.
But his attorney said an investigation failed to turn up proof that Abu-Jihaad had leaked information.
Federal prosecutors said the 32-year-old sympathized with the enemy and admitted disclosing military intelligence.

It's all Greek to me
People wave Greek flags during a rally against a compromise on a dispute with Macedonia, in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki on Wednesday. The two Balkan countries are engaged in UN-mediated talks over Macedonia's name. Greece argues that its northern neighbor's use of the name Macedonia could imply territorial claims on the Greek province of Macedonia. The leader of a nationalist party and the city's Orthodox bishop will address the rallies.

Iraqi government negotiates executions
U. S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker, left, Barham Salih, Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq, and commander of U.S. forces in northern Iraq, Maj. Gen. Mark P. Hertling, right, take part in a conference to strengthen the relationship between the leadership in the northern provinces and the government of Iraq in Tikrit, Iraq, Wednesday.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS

BAGHDAD — The Iraqi government is refusing to execute the Saddam Hussein henchman and cousin known as "Chemical Ali" unless the death sentences of two other Saddam-era officials also are approved.
The dispute pits the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki against the three-member presidential council, which moved last week to block the two other executions in what was seen as a possible attempt to appease minority Sunni Arabs.
The standoff underscores the often unclear lines of authority in Iraq and is another blow to Iraq's beleaguered judicial system.
In the case of the executions, government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a telephone interview that al-Maliki's administration would not take custody of al-Majid alone and that it wanted all three men.
Already on Wednesday, two former Health Ministry officials were released after being cleared on charges that they helped Shite death squads operate by giving them access to hospitals and ambulances. There are widespread allegations of witness intimidation in those proceedings.
The U.S. has custody of al-Majid as well as the two others, Hussein Rashid Mohammed, the former deputy director of operations for the Iraqi armed forces, and former defense minister Sultan Hashim al-Taie. U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. Kevin Bergner said Wednesday that no request had yet been made to turn al-Majid over to Iraqi authorities.
Last Friday, Iraq's three-member presidential council — Presidentjalal Talabani, a Kurd, along with the Sunni and Shiite vice presidents — endorsed the death sentence of al-Majid, who earned the grim nickname "Chemical Ali" for gassingKurd civilians during a brutal crackdown on their region in the 1980s.
The endorsement was thought to be the last step before carrying out al-Majid's sentence — death by hanging — within a month.
He and the two other Saddam deputies were condemned in June after being convicted of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for their part in the Kurdish campaign, known as Operation Anfal.
Al-Majid won little sympathy when his sentence was handed down, but al-Taie and Mohammed were seen by some as career soldiers who were just following orders.
Many Sunni Arabs thought al-Taie's sentence was evidence that Shiite and Kurdish officials were persecuting the nation's once-dominant minority. Saddam and many of his closest advisers were Sunnis.
Sunni leaders, including Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, launched a campaign to spare al-Taie, and the presidential council last week agreed not to execute either him or Mohammed.
Al-Maliki, a Shiite, finds that
unacceptable.
"The prime minister refuses to split the death sentences issued by the Iraqi High Tribunal," al-Dabbagh said.
"He wants them to be carried out together. He believes that the death sentences issued by the High Tribunal are irreversible and unchangeable and the (tribunal's) do not need the approval of the presidency council, which has no right to change the sentences."
It was not immediately clear what will happen if al-Majid is not executed within the month his sentence is supposed to be carried out, or if the presidential council will revisit the two other cases.
Al-Majid would be the fifth former regime official hanged for alleged atrocities during Saddam's nearly three-decade rule.
But the bloodshed has been greatly reduced since early last year, and more attention is shifting to rebuilding and reconciliation — even in northern Iraq provinces where al-Qaida in Iraq retains its strongest presence.
Nearly five years after Saddam was toppled in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, sectarian and insurgent violence persists.
On Wednesday, local governors from Iraq's seven northern provinces aired out their complaints to

Report predicts irreversible damage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OSLO, Norway — The world must deal with climate change now — or pay a much higher price later, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said Wednesday.
In two decades, unchecked environmental damage could leave half the world's population without adequate drinking water, the OECD's secretary general, Angel Gurria, said Wednesday.
"Climate change is mankind's most important challenge. We know the enemy: It is named carbon," he said.
"Climate change is mankind's most important challenge. We know the enemy: It is named carbon."
ANGEL GURRIA OECD's secretary general
consumption in those countries could be 72 percent by 2030, compared to 29 percent for all 30 of the OECD's European nations.
That would lead to a 38 percent increase in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. However, if Brazil, Russia, China and India take the same step in 2020, and are followed by the rest of the world in 2030, emissions could be held at 2000 levels, it said.
report on the environmental outlook to 2030, part of a series of reports compiled every five years concentrates on climate change, water shortages, energy needs biodiversity loss, transportation agriculture and fisheries.
The report also stressed the need for a global response. Gurria urged the United States and developing countries with booming economies such as China and India to accept a binding international commitment to reduce global-warming gases.
"Without more ambitious policies, increasing pressures on the environment could cause irreversible damage within the next few decades," the report said. "The cost of inaction is high, while ambitious actions to protect the environment are affordable and can go hand in hand with economic growth."
"It involves that everyone participates. This is very important. We can't have anybody do a 'free ride,'" he said.
By 2030, the world's population — currently about 6.5 billion people — is expected to hit 8.2 billion, and the global economy could double in size, largely due to growth in countries such as Brazil, Russia, China and India, the report said.
Unchecked, growth in energy
If no steps are taken, world gross domestic product will grow 99 percent between 2005 and 2030 with severe environmental consequences, the report said.
With measures, growth would be nearly the same, 97 percent, but with a much healthier environment.
The report said governments must create such policies as "green taxes" to encourage sound technologies and practices, and that the rich world must help poor countries develop without spewing pollution by providing technology and expertise.
It also said ecological advances bring multiple benefits. For example, cutting motor vehicles' greenhouse gas emissions would improve air quality in cities or better insulated homes that cut power bills for consumers while reducing power plant emissions.
"OECD's report identifies critical environmental issues facing our country and countries around the world." Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.), chairman of the House of Representatives' science and technology committee, said in a statement from Washington. "The OECD report provides a good roadmap for evaluating environmental challenges and the economic impacts we face if no action is taken."
The OECD, made up of 30 European nations, focuses on economic and social policies.

Clinton suggests sharing presidency with Obama
WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton is hinting at the possibility of sharing the Democratic presidential ticket with Barack Obama, but says voters still have to decide the party nominee.
Clinton says; "That may be where this is headed,but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."
Obama is playing down his losses Tuesday in three out of four primaries, including the battlegrounds of Texas and Ohio. He stresses that he is still ahead of Clinton in the delegate count.
In appearances on the morning talk shows, both Democrats say they have the credentials to go head to head with Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain.

New punch cards promote healthy eating in campus eateries, reward students with free food
BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com
Dining Services has teamed up with Better Bites to reward students for healthy eating with new Better Bites punch cards.
Students who buy five Better Bites entrees at retail cafeterias on campus can get the sixth item for free with the punch cards. Filled punch cards also earn students a free water bottle from Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Ann Chapman, coordinator of Nutritional Services, said she

developed the cards to promote healthy eating among students.
The punch cards, distributed in January, apply to Better Bites entrees bought at The Market, The Underground and The Crimson Café. Better Bites entrees contain fewer than 600 calories and 24 grams of fat, in accordance with American Heart Association standards, Chapman said.
ChapmanandH.O.M.E.B.A.S.E., an organization through Student Health Services that focuses on body acceptance, healthy eating and physical fitness, introduced the Better Bites program to retail and residential cafeterias on campus in 2003.
Shant Thomas, marketing manager for Dining Services at the University, said the Better Bites program took off because of an
increased interest in nutritional food.
"Far and away student tastes have changed," Thomas said.
Alecia Stultz, assistant director of retail for Dining Services,
said Grab 'n Go refrigerators in campus cafeterias reflect students' interest in healthier food.
She said 20 percent of the 15,000 Grab 'n Go sandwiches made since Jan. 1 have been Better Bites items.
Pre-made entrées, such as the Better Bites Grab 'n Go sandwiches, are among the items that qualify for the punch card. Stultz also said many items not designated as Better Bites items, such as sandwiches from Brella's, could be made into Better Bites entrees if students order them without the sauce or cheese.
She said KU Dining Services

had not done a good job educating students about the different ways to make an entree fit Better Bites criteria.
A marketing push for the Better Bites punch cards will include flyers and signs that explain how students can customize an order to qualify as a Better Bites item, Stoltz
said.
The Market, The Underground and The Crimson Cafe are currently out of punch cards, but Thomas, who oversees marketing for Dining Services, said the supply of cards would be replenished soon.

Seniors cherish final game despite loss to Kansas State
BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com
After exceptional college careers both on the court and in the classroom, Wednesday night's 61-50 loss to in-state rival Kansas State was a bittersweet ending for senior forward Taylor McIntosh and Jamie Bowl.
"They're getting the Big 12 Championship trophy in their locker room right about now," Boyd said. "We could have stopped that."
What was supposed to be a triumphant senior night in honor of the duo's four-year careers in crimson and blue, ended with the Wildcats celebrating at least a share of the Big 12 Championship on Naismith Court.
Although there was no fairy tale ending, dwelling on Kansas' disappointment would be a dishonor to two players who have meant so much to fellow teammates, coaches and fans throughout their four years in Lawrence.
McIntosh and Boyd are Coach Bonnie Henrickson's first recruiting class to graduate. She said both define what it means to be a student athlete and would have a special
place in her memories.
"Those two deserve to get a win tonight," Hendrickson said. "I just hate it for them. I've never coached two better seniors, better kids than those two."
Though spoiling Kansas State's championship aspirations would have been an ideal way to close out the season, McIntosh said the loss couldn't take anything away from her experiences and the relationships she had built while in Lawrence. She said she would continue to support Henrickson and the program whenever and wherever she was needed.
"I just have so much respect for Bonnie and admire her so much." McIntosh said.
Boyd, who started for the second time this season, said it was one of the greatest honors of her life to be a jayhawk for four years. She said that she had learned so much about herself during her four years in Lawrence that she had no doubt she can handle whatever obstacles the future holds.
"These coaches mean a lot to me," Boyu said. "My teammates mean a lot to me. It's hard to talk about, but these people will stay with me the rest of my life."

The Jayhawks drop to 11th after losing to K-State
BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com
Ever since a thrilling 62-61 victory against Nebraska on Feb. 17, Kansas has gone into a tailspin, losing four games along the way.
The lajhwacks desperately tried to pick up a victory before the Big 12 tournament begins on Tuesday. They went on a 7-0 run late in Wednesday night's game to pull within two of the No. 19 Wildcats. Then, like every time since that last victory, the game slipped through Kansas' fingers and Kansas State cruised to a 61-50 victory, celebrating a share of the Big 12 crown on James Naismith Court.
Guard Shalee Lehning torched the Kansas defense for a career high 29 points and also recorded 17 rebounds. However, the biggest shot in the game belonged to guard Kimberly Dietz.
After sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs made her third straight shot to pull the score to 52-50, Kansas State coach Deb Patterson called timeout. Out of the break the Wildcats set a play for Dietz, and the senior drilled a deep, high-arching three-pointer from the top of the key.
"That was a big shot off of what should have been a relatively easy defensive play" Coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We don't get the switch to deny and she hits a big three and then Lehning comes down and hits another lavup.
"That kid tore us up."
That sequence killed any momentum the Jayhawks (15-14, 4-12) had as they failed to score the remainder of the game.
Jacobs made her first start of the season with a solid 14 points offensively, but her defensive assignment was to guard Lehning. The box score told that story.
"It's very, very frustrating to know that I played a big part in that," Jacobs said. "In a way, I feel this loss is some part my fault, (actually) all part my fault. I take the total blame for not getting the seniors at win tonight."
Kansas State's domination of the boards was another factor. The Wildcats out-rebounded the Jayhawks 37-28 and used 10 offensive rebounds to get 12 second chance points.
Kansas committed only 13 turnovers, but Hendrickson has grown tired of searching for moral victories in her team's losses.
"At the end of the day its, 'Did you win?' Henrickson said. "We're doing some good things at times, but not enough to win."
After a fifth straight loss, Kansas dropped to the No. 11 seed in the conference tournament.
That means the Jayhawks will square-off with the No. 6 seed Cornhuskers who they beat in February. Senior forward Taylor McIntosh intends to extend her career beyond the first round of the tournament and she thinks the key to doing that is in creating a clean slate.
"It would have been nice to have some momentum going into the Big 12 tournament, but we just have to use this, fix it and move on," McIntosh said. "We can't dwell on this loss."

Kansas defeats Le Moyne in home-opening victory
Jayhawks roll to 13-2 victory on three-game winning streak
SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
A week ago Kansas was just trying to avoid being shut out. Suddenly the Jayhawks are finding a knack for knocking teams out of ballgames early.
Already up 4-0 in the bottom of the third, Kansas senior catcher Ryne Price put an end to any thoughts of a Le Moyne (2-7) comeback. Facing Le Moyne left-hander Corey Nelson with the bases loaded, Price brought everybody home with a shot over the right field fence.
The grand slam put Kansas up, 8-0, prolonging the inevitable, which was a 13-2 home-opening victory. Back to .500 for the first time since their second game of the season, Kansas (5-5) is riding a three-game winning streak. In the first three innings of their last two games, the Jayhawks have scored 16 runs.
"It is good to see those guys break out and
obviously we took advantage of the wind," Kansas coach Ritch Price said of the winds that gusted over 25 miles per hour during the game. "That helped us a little bit, but it was a

"No, I haven't had much success this year.
"I success this year with runners in scoring position," Ryne said. "I was just looking to try to square something up for once and drive in some runs"
And that's just what Price did with seven RBI for the afternoon.
In addition to Price's big day at the plate, fellow senior Allman also broke out for his first big
game of the season. Allman, who entered the game batting .172, went off for three hits, coming just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle.

Q: How many major league pitchers threw no-hitters last year and who were they?
— retrosheet.org
A: Three by Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox, Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers and Clay Buchholz of the Boston Red Sox. It was the first time since 2001 that three pitchers threw a no-hitter in the same season.
fact of the day
The most no-hitters in one season came in 1884 when eight major league pitchers accomplished the feat. The last one came on Oct. 4 when Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Sam Kimber pitched 10 no-hit innings against the Toledo Blue Stockings. Although Kimber received a no-hitter for his effort, he did not get a win. The game was cancelled in the 11th Inning with the score tied 0-0 because of darkness.

Jayhawks defeat Wildcats after four-year drought
BY ALEX DUFEK
adufek@kansan.com
Senior Lauren Hommell won the decisive match in Wednesday's Sunflower Showdown to lead the Kansas tennis team past the 67th ranked Kansas State Wildcats.
After dropping the first set, Hommell fought back to win the next two and defeat the Wildcats' Olga Klimova 5-7,6-4,6-2. Hommell said that her experience, along with the support of her team, helped her fight off nerves down the stretch.
"I think it definitely does have to do with experience. My freshman year I played in the same position and I kind of went back on that and just tried to make balls," Hommell said. "I had my whole team yell for me after every point and the support from them really helped too."
The 4-3 victory against the Wildcats is the Jayhawks' first against Kansas State since March 17, 2004. Along with their first victory in a Big 12 opener, Wednesday's game marks Kansas' first dual match victory against a ranked opponent this season since the 2003-2004 campaign.
"Ever since I have been here we
haven't beaten K-State so beating them my senior year is pretty big," Hommell said. "Now we're 1-0 in the Big 12 so hopefully we can take it from there."
The Jayhawks fell behind early, dropping two out of the three doubles matches. Junior Yuliana Swistun and freshman Magdalena Tokarczyk
defeated the Kansas State tandem of Vanessa Cottin and Pauline Gueras 8-3, to give Kansas its lone doubles victory.

LAUREN HOMMELL senior
men leadership shone as the team received victories from two seniors and two juniors in singles play. Senior Elizaveta Avdeeva, junior Edina Horvath and junior Yuliana Svistun all won in straight sets to help lift the Jayhawks.

"What I've told the girls is that we've been there, we're almost there, we're getting there and this is the edge that we needed to take us that next
step," Hall-Holt said. "Pulling this one out tonight I think it's just going to create a great atmosphere in a positive way for all the girls."
The Jayhawks look to keep rolling in Sunday's game against the University of New Mexico. The match is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.

NBA
Celtics beat Pistons 90-78 secure spot in playoffs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Kevin Garnett scored a season-high 31 points to lead Boston to a bruising 90-78 victory over Detroit on Wednesday night as the Celtics became the first team in the NBA to clinch a playoff berth and also earned the home-court tie-breaker over their closest competitor.
Boston won its sixth consecutive game and took a four-game lead over Detroit in the Eastern Conference standings. Should the Pistons catch the Celtics in the standings and meet them in the playoffs, Boston would have the home-court advantage by virtue of a 2-1 edge in the season series.
36 GADE 5
Kendrick Perkins had a career-high 20 rebounds to go with his 10 points for the Celtics.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Boston Celtics' Kevin Garnett goes up for a shot against Detroit Pistons' Rasheed Wallace during the second quarter of their NBA basketball game in Boston, Wednesday.
Chauncey Billups scored 23 points, making 14-of-15 foul shots in the game, and Rasheed Wallace also scored 23 for Detroit.
The Pistons never led, falling behind 17-3 off the opening tip and working their way back to a 69-69 tie on Tayshaun Prince's putback for the first basket of the fourth quarter. But Garnett scored the next five points and, after Detroit cut it to 78-77, the Celtics scored 12 of the last 13 points.
It was an anticlimactic ending to a hard-fought game, with three technical fouls handed out along
with hard fouls that sent players to the floor, Ray Allen drew the first T with a clearing elbow to Richard Hamilton's sternum in the
first quarter; in the third, Jason Maxiell clobbered Rajon Rondo to the parquet after a breakaway layup.

Goodbye is the hardest part Kansan columnist reflects on his final game in Fieldhouse
>> COMMENTARY
I am so happy to have been able to help you. I will try my best to make sure that you are feeling well and that your needs are met.
I was disappointed Monday night when I was not asked to give a speech with the other seniors on Senior Night. After giving my heart and soul to the University of Kansas for four years just as Russell Robinson and the others had done, I was excited and prepared to take the microphone from Max Falkenstein and tell everyone just how proud I was to be a lavahawk
OK, so I knew I wasn't going to get to give a speech and that nobody would have listened if I did, but as I talked with friends before the Texas Tech game, it dawned on me that a special and unforgettable portion of my life was coming to an end. Even though I plan on graduating in December, Monday night was the end of an era. It was probably the last night I will cover a game in Allen Fieldhouse as a member of the media.
BY B.J. RAINS
KANSAN COLUMNIST
BJRAINS.COM
Working for the Associated Press, I had the privilege of sitting in the best seats in the house
for every home game for the past three years. My job was to give statistics and notes to my boss and then to interview the opposing team's coach and players after the game. Whether it was
little did I know that choosing Kansas over Mizzou would wind up being one of the best decisions of my life. As members of the media, we are supposed to be un-biased and not root or cheer for a certain team. And as much as I bleed crimson and blue, not cheering was harder than you might think. After a Sasha Kaun lay-up and foul against Texas last year, I pumped my fist into the air on press row out of instinct before quickly realizing it and acting as if I was scratching my head so that nobody would notice.
As I listened to the players speak about what being a student at the University of Kansas meant to them, I did what any unbiased media member would do. I shed a tear.
irritating Bobby Knight two years ago for bringing up KU's big rebounding margin, or being told by Kelvin Sampson to ask a better question, I had the thrill of interviewing some of the best sports figures of our time.
While my friends camped out for hours and hours just to see the games, I was eating free food and sitting two seats to the left of Dick Vitale. Lou Gehrig once said in his famous
As a boy growing up in St. Louis, I always knew that I wanted to be a jayhawk. But
speech that he considered himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but after my time here at the University of Kansas, I don't know how he could be any luckier than me.
For four years, I watched game after game and moment after moment as my team, the Kansas Jayhawks, battled in historic
There are hundreds of memories that I made during my time in Allen Fieldhouse that I will never forget, but the best may have been during the pre-game video for the Kansas State game last Saturday. As the student section jumped up and down and fans yelled and screamed, goosebumps surfaced all over my body. As the music from the movie "300" glared over the loud speakers, for one of the few times in my life, I literally had chills. At that moment, I realized that I truly was going to miss being in Allen Fieldhouse for the rest of my life. And I made a promise to myself that night, that I will come back for a game at least once every season, because the passion and tradition that was instilled in me by this town and this university is something that I just can't eliminate from my life.
Allen Fieldhouse. I try to explain to my friends and family just how amazing the passion and tradition of Kansas basketball is, but unless you see it for yourself, you don't really know.
As the final buzer sounded following KU's thrashing of Texas Tech, I realized that it was the last time I would ever be sitting in that seat again. As I listened to the players speak about what being a student at the University of Kansas meant to them, I did what any unbiased media member would do. I shed a tear.
And not because I was sad it was over, but because I was thankful that it happened. Anyone that has spent time in Allen Fieldhouse knows just how special of a place it is. It's not just a place where you go to watch a basketball game. It's a place that changes your life.

Marla Keown/KANSAN
Le Moyne thirdbaseman Stephan Crawford steals third base at the top of the first inning. Le Moyne had two hits during the first inning, but left two players on bases after a fly ball was caught in right field. By the bottom of the third inning, Kansas led 10-0.
BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
After hitting a double in the first and a single in the third, Allman capped off his day with a home run to right-center field, his first of the season.
The other starters in the Kansas outfield continued to swing hot bats. Junior Nick Faunce and senior Casey Larson, who went 9-for-16 the last two games of the Music City Classic, each recorded two hits against the Dolphins.
While the Kansas offense dished out plenty of punishment, no Le Moyne pitcher suffered more than Nelson (0-1), who got the start. In 3.1 innings, Nelson surrendered 10 runs on eight hits and five walks.
Opposite Nelson, Kansas starting pitcher, sophomore left-hander Wally Marciel (2-1) fared far better. In five innings, Marciel allowed just two runs on six hits while striking
out four.
Considering how Marciel didn't receive a single run of support in his start last Wednesday against Arkansas, the 10 runs of support he got Wednesday were a welcome site.
"The bats were awesome today," Marceli said. "Our hitters are coming along. Johnny had a good game and Ryne had a good game. I just want them to continue hitting."
GAME NOTES:
injury updates
Junior catcher Buck Afenir was out of the Kansas lineup for the third straight game with a pulled hamstring, but coach Price said he hoped Afenir would be available for Saturday's double-header with North Dakota State.
Junior left-hander Andy Marks, who is recovering from a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, finished his bullpen session on Tuesday. The session was Marks' first since last week, when he was unable to finish a session. Price said the team trainer Ken Wainwright told him Marks' latest bullpen session was his best one so far.
In attendance
Of the 609 people listed in attendance for Wednesday's home opener, former Jayhawk Sean Land was among them. Land, who is now in the Minnesota Twins system and is the older brother of current Jayhawk Preston Land, pitched at Kansas from 2004-2006.

MARCH 5TH VS. LE MOYNE COLLEGE
With a brisk 37-degree temperature at game time, the Jayhawk baseball team's bats heated up Hoglund ballpark on Wednesday. While White Owl kept the first base side bleachers warm with his dance moves, it was the four-run first inning and the six-run third inning that lit the fire for the team. Fueling the charge in the early stages of the game was senior catcher Ryne Price's grand slam and his shot to right field that ended in a triple and two RBI. With a good fan turnout of 609 for a frozen home opener, the Hawks did not disappoint. After a lead-off single and a shaky first inning, sophomore starting pitcher Wally Marciel slammed the door on the Le Moyne College Dolphins giving up only 6 hits and 2 earned runs in 5 innings. Marciel improved to 2-1 on the year and brought his strikeout total to 10. While the temperature was low, head coach Ritch Price needed to make an adjustment to Marciel's pitch count. "We originally had planned on him throwing around 75 pitches." Price said. "Once we got a big lead, we kept him in there for his 5 innings so he could get the win he had earned." Although the coach's approach changed, Marciel kept the same approach.
"The only difference is I wore sleeves today." Marciel said. "I normally don't like to wear sleeves, but the coaches made sure I had them on today." The Jayhawks have not been accustomed to the cold weather this season, as they started the season off in Hawaii before traveling to Fayetteville, Ark., and Nashville, Tenn. The cold weather may have been the element the Jayhawks needed to start out the season opener with a victory for the sixth time under head coach Ritch Price. Coach Price attributes the Jayhawks' success to their preparation in the cold elements. "One of the things we do is we practice in it." Price said. "Around here, some of the teams will go inside and not even try to bear the conditions, but if there's no snow on the ground we are going outside. We realize we are a Midwest team and we have to be prepared to play in it." Also torching the Dolphins from behind the plate was red shirt senior left fielder John Allman. Allman was chasing the cycle, as he was 3-3 with a HR, double and single, improving his average to .250. With the theory of
the cold weather being a helpful tool for the Hawks, Allman has another. "I would like to thank the fighting Samurai spirits we had going on today." Allman said. "Former player Ryotaro Hayakawa from Japan gave us a Samurai figure and it led us to victory." With the Kansas weather not looking to warm up anytime soon, the Jayhawks will play host to North Dakota State this weekend and try to remain on fire as they are 1-0 in games under 40 degrees.

JUPITER, Fla. — John Lannan turned in his second straight strong performance, pitching three scoreless innings in Washington's 6-5 win over a St. Louis Cardinals split squad Wednesday.
Lannan, the Nationals' reigning minor league pitcher of the year, allowed three hits, walked two and struck out three, extending his scoreless streak to five innings this spring.
"My mechanics felt good," Lannan said. "It's always good when you go out there and not always have your best stuff and prove that you can battle."
Ryan Ludwig and Brian Barton, two outfielders trying to make the Cardinals' roster, each had a big day. Barton went 4-for-5 with a home run and Ludwig had three hits and also went deep.
The 23-year-old Lannan made his major league debut on July 26 and went 2-2 with a 4.15 ERA in six starts last season.
"I'm sure they feel better right now," St. Louis manager Tony La Russa said.
St. Louis has lost five straight spring games after winning its first two.
Ludwig said he felt lost at the plate before Wednesday. He said he has spent extra time in the batting cage working on his swing and mental approach.
Mike Parisi made his first spring start for St. Louis and allowed three runs in the first inning before pitching a scoreless second and third. Shortstop Cesar Izturis' error, his second of the spring, accounted for one of the runs.
Parisi allowed four hits.
"I thought he did a very good job of keeping his composure," La Russa said. "He ended up having a good outing."
Pete Orr hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning for Washington.

United States Olympic Committee chief executive Jim Scherr speaks during a news conference at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens. At the U.S. Olympic Committee recently, Scherr and Uerberoth discussed the challenges the U.S. and China will face at the Beijing Olympics in August.
China prepares for games on home turf
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER —Two of the top teams at the Beijing Olympics in August, the United States and China, are staging woe-is-me routines that would put former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz —the king of the sandbaggers — to shame.
The latest came Wednesday from China's Deputy Sports Minister Cui Dalin: "We've got to take a pretty sober, objective view toward this," he said. "Overall, we're not a big sporting nation."
China, a country of 1.3 billion, a country spending $40 billion to put on the biggest sports extravaganza in the world, is not a big sporting nation? Sounds almost as ridiculous as saying America, easy winner of the medal count in the last three Olympics, heads to Beijing as an underdog.
But that's what they've been saying — over and over — at the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Just 10 days ago, chief executive Jim Scherr and chairman Peter Ueberroth reasserted the mantra they've been preaching for more than a year now.
"We have no illusions," Scherr said. "This will be a very difficult competition."
A quick reality check:
The United States won 102 medals at the Athens Olympics, 20 more than second-place Russia and 39 more than third-place China. In the gold medal count, which is more important to almost every country outside America, it was United States 34, China 32.
The Athens Olympics marked the third straight time the United States eased to the medals victory at the Summer Games, dating to 1996, the first time the athletes comprising the former Soviet Union didn't compete as a unified team. In fact, U.S. victories became so routine that the USOC delegation's task became not so much to predict victory, but only how many medals it expected.
Surely, the landscape has changed since the last Olympics, with China preparing to host the games and in no mood to be beaten on its home turf.
But measuring the changes is an inexact science. In 2006, China did very well at several world championships, in some cases at the United States' expense. Then, last year, things shifted.
At key world championships last year, the United States won four
of six gold medals in women's gymnastics (a record), 20 in swimming (best in 29 years) and 14 more in track (nine more than second-place Kenya).
Granted, none of those competitions were held in China, and track and swimming are not sports
"You see a lot of things happening in their favor. We'll be a competitive team. We're not yielding to them, but it is an uphill battle."
Despite his objections, there are many reasons to believe China will do well this year — maybe even top the medal chart.
China normally excels in. But they were among the biggest, and the fact that no other countries chipped into America's dominance seems to be a good sign for the United States.
STEVE ROUSH USOC Chief of Sport Performance
Ueberroth doesn't buv it.
The Chinese have enjoyed almost exponential improvement, going from five to 32 gold medals from 1988 to 2004.
"In most sports, we sent the same competitors in '06 and '07," he said. "China had teams that blitzed through all sports they competed in in '06, then they did well again in '07 with different people. They could send two teams to most of these events. They're going to do very well."
Cui insists, "In the competition altogether, the United States and Russia are still well above our level."
Dating to 1996, Summer Olympics hosts have experienced an 8 percent increase in medals over the previous Olympics. Australia enjoyed a 41 percent increase from 1996 to 2000.
Some of the improvement can be attributed to home crowds and home cooking from judges. As much or more can be credited to the ramp-
Nobody is ramping things up more than China.
According to a recent report from a Chinese sports scientist, the country has
195 state-run training departments involving nearly 20,000 elite and emerging elite athletes. USOC chief of sport performance Steve Roush has spent ample time at Chinese athletic performance centers, watching the athletes of tomorrow train.
"You see a lot of things happening in their favor. We'll be a competitive team. We're not yielding to them, but it is an uphill battle." Roush said.
Never before has the rest of the Olympic competition been so deep. Russia, a power even after the breakup of the Soviet Union, has made little secret of its desire to return to the top.
Meanwhile, a number of the
countries four through 10 in the last medal standings — Australia, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, South Korea, Britain — have added resources and money to their efforts. That means they could win medals that once would have been presumed to go to the United States, Russia or China.
In talking about China's medal expectations, Cui cites everything from rules changes to limited medals in sports like badminton and table tennis, where China often dominates.
Among the few outspoken optimists on the American side has been USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny, who knows he has good teams but is also aware of the pros and cons of competing at home.
Two other sports where China is traditionally solid — gymnastics and diving — have more to do with poise and controlling adrenaline than displays of raw speed or power.
"Either you accept the challenges and use the advantages to have your best day, or that can end up providing a great deal of pressure and stress," Penny said.
That's the same direction the Chinese seem to be going, too. Cui demurred when asked to predict China's medal haul.
But Penny certainly isn't speaking the USOC's party line, which so far is to promise less and maybe surprise some people if the American athletes deliver more.
"The beautiful thing about athletic competition," he said, "is that you never know the result until the competition is over."

Haynesworth, like countless impatient fans around the country, might be better off heeding his GM's words and waiting. Because, for the most part, the first week of free agency has been marked by teams overpaying players who

After the Titans lost five players and signed tight end Alge Crumpler, defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth begged to differ.
Exhibit A: The New York Jets, who are trying to compete in their division with New England and in their region with the Super

Those teams should consider that the Giants, Colts, Steelers and Patriots, the last four Super Bowl winners, have been moderate free-agent players at best.
Exhibit C: San Francisco, which apparently didn't learn after signing CB Nate Clements to an $80 million deal last year and finishing 5-11. This time they guaranteed $20 million to "pass rusher" Justin Smith, the fourth overall pick in the 2001 draft, but a guy who had just $43½ sacks in seven seasons with the Bengals.

Mitchell was allowed to leave for Buffalo this

New York also lost S Gibril Wilson to Oakland for $16 million in guaranteed money and replaced him with veteran Sammy Knight for about $14.5 million less, figuring the on-field difference isn't that great for a short-term fix with youngster Michael Johnson in the wings.
The Giants have spent for productive free agents: WR Plaxico Burress, LB Antonio Pierce, C Shaun O'Hara and OT Kareem McKenzie.
But all came for reasonable amounts and most of the time New York prefers to pay its own players.

Congressman excuses Clemens
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A Democratic congressman asked the FBI on Wednesday to drop its investigation of Roger Clemens because the pitching great had suffered enough from the probe into steroid use.
Rep. Anthony Weiner, a candidate for New York mayor in 2009, said the FBI is too busy with more important crimes to spend time trying to determine if the ex-Yankees pitcher lied to Congress about taking performance enhancing substances.
"Roger Clemens has been shamed. I think the public record is replete with examples of how he did not likely tell the truth. What is the
public benefit of continuing with an FBI investigation?" Weiner said.
Weiner also suggested his fellow lawmakers had gone far enough with inquiries into steroids use by professional athletes and should let professional sports leagues handle the matter.
"The real incentive to clean up this mess is not a governmental one," said Weiner, a Mets fan whose district includes parts of Queens and Brooklyn.
The FBI took over the Clemens case after Congress asked the Justice Department to look into Clemens' testimony at a Feb. 5 deposition and a Feb. 13 hearing. Weiner is not a member of the House Oversight and Government Committee, which heard from Clemens.
Clemens testified he never used steroids or human growth hormone; his former trainer testified he injected Clemens with such substances at least 16 times from 1998 to 2001.
If investigators conclude Clemens lied on critical details, he could face charges of perjury, making false statements or obstruction of justice.
In a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Weiner wrote: "Whether or not Roger Clemens may have committed perjury should not compete with real national security threats for the FBI's time, attention and resources."
There was no immediate comment from the Justice Department on Wednesday.

Falcons retool lineup post-Vick
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joey Harrington is the latest victim of the Atlanta Falcons' purge.
The third overall pick in the 2002 draft by Detroit, the quarterback who started 10 of Atlanta's games last season was cut Wednesday. Running back Warrick Dunn was released on Monday by Atlanta, which last month cut tight end Alge Crumpler, offensive tackle Wayne Gandy and quarterback Byron Leffwich.
The move leaves Atlanta, which was 4-12 last season, with only two
quarterbacks on the roster — Chris Redman, who has been re-signed to a two-year deal, and D.J. Shockley, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. They are likely to pick a quarterback in April's draft, perhaps Boston College's Matt Ryan with the third pick.
Harrington, who was traded from Detroit to Miami and released by the Dolphins, was the primary replacement for Michael Vick — sentenced to 23 months in prison for his involvement in dogfighting.
Oakland, which has been on a spending spree, made an agreement with wide receiver Javon Walker, who had been released by Denver, and former San Francisco offensive tackle Kwame Harris.
back than Harrington, Brett Favre scheduled a news conference for Thursday to discuss his retirement. The Packers announced Tuesday that the 38-year-old star is retiring.
A more renowned quarter-
New England re-signed wite receiver Jabar Gaffney, who had 36 receptions for 449 yards and a career high five touchdowns last season.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — After a season of nothing going right, Ohio State could do no wrong for one night. The Buckeyes put things together just in time to knock Purdue out of the Big Ten lead.
Jamar Butler scored 23 of his 25 points in the second half and Othello Hunter, a 56 percent free throw shooter, hit two foul shots and made a big defensive play in overtime to lead the Buckeyes to an 80-77 victory over No. 15 Purdue 80-77 on Tuesday.
The loss dropped the Boilermakers (23-7, 14-3), a half game behind first-place Wisconsin in the Big Ten. The 10th-ranked Badgers host Penn State on Wednesday and play at Northwestern on Saturday. The Boilermakers finish at Michigan on Sunday.

It feels good.
It feels like some things finally went our way for once," Butler said. "All season it seemed like we were always on the other end. We just couldn't make the plays down the stretch. Today we stepped up and made big plays toward the end of the game and came away with a win."
Butler missed his only shot in the first half and had two points. In the second half, he was 6-of-7 from the field and made all five of his 3-point attempts.
"If you let someone like

Jamar Butler shoot a couple of 3s you can actually play good defense on him and he's still going to hit some shots," Painter said.
Hunter, averaging 9.3 points a game, had 15, as did Evan Turner.
E'Twauo Moore had 16 points for the Boilermakers, who had won 13 of 14, while Scott Martin had 14 and
Robbie Hummel added 12 points and 10 rebounds.
With the score tied at 72 and 1:28 left in overtime, Hunter was fouled on a dunk attempt. He had hit three of six free throws for the game, but stepped to the line and made both foul shots.
He then got a hand on an inbounds pass under the Purdue basket that Butler was able to intercept.
Hummel's 3 cut the gap to a point, but Butler — one of the nation's top free throw shooters at 93 percent — was fouled and hit both with 16.7 seconds left for a 78-75 lead.
The teams traded possessions until Turner hit a leaner with 25.8 seconds left to put Ohio State ahead 76-72.
Moore missed a 3 with 12 seconds left and Turner rebounded and was fouled. He hit both shots to seal it and drop Purdue to 5-5 on the road.

Ernie Els, from Wentworth, England, blasts out of a sand trap on the 11th fairway during the Honda Classic golf tournament in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Thursday, Feb. 28.
Els ends losing streak, wins Honda Classic
BY DOUG FERGUSON
AP GOLF WRITER
PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) _ A bead of sweat dripped off Ernie Els' brow when he stopped for a five-minute chat Wednesday before his pro-am round at the PODS Championship.
The hard part is over for the Big Easy. The hard work is not.
Els ended an 0-for-47 stretch on the PGA Tour when he won the Honda Classic, an astounding drought given his considerable talent. He is among four active players with at least three major championships, but none of the others has gone more than a year without winning on the world's toughest golf circuit.
It took a few days for his victory to sink it, and it was really driven home on the range at Innisbrook.
"The guys are congratulating you," he said. "They're not saying 'hard luck' or 'bad luck' or whatever that is."
Els would not have imagined winning this way.
He failed to make a birdie over the final 11 holes at PGA National and played them in 1 over. That proved to be enough, however, when the hard luck fell to Mark Calcavecchia, whose bunker shot inexplicably rolled through the green and into a hazard; and bad luck sided with
That's what had been happening to Els lately, whether it was Boo Weekley chipping in twice to beat him at Hilton Head last year, or Esl hit-
blow had come last month at Dubai, when Els missed two short putts that forced him to go for broke on the par-5 18th at Dubai, only to hit a fairway metal into the water on the last hole.
The losses kept piling up.
"I had many, many times I couldn't close the deal. So it's really nice to get this one, and hopefully, this is a fresh start for the next couple of years."
"When you're around long enough like me, you know you're going to

He couldn't keep up with Tiger Woods at Royal Liverpool in 2006 and started too far behind him at Southern Hills a year later. The latest
have losses," Els said. "Losses are tough. You play to win every week. When you get close, you expect to win. I had many, many times I couldn't close the deal. So it's really nice to get this one, and hopefully, this is
the next couple of years."
If nothing else, it's a good start with the Masters looming a month away.
Els has changed his worldwide travel schedule slightly to spend more chunks of time in the United States, and he signed up for the entire Florida swing. The hope was to build a foundation, make some progress before getting to Augusta National.
The victory should pay loads of dividends.
get some confidence going before Augusta," he said. "Obviously, it was a great start."
But he is far from satisfied. Els said his driving has been suspect under pressure over the last couple of years, and he has not been able to make the putts that mattered most down the stretch. Even though he won, he's not convinced those problems are behind him.
'And that explains why this week is no time to celebrate.
Els has enough ability to contend at majors even when his confidence is shaky. He was paired in the final group with Woods in the third round of the 2006 British Open, where he finished third. He was one shot out of the lead at Carnoustie a year later until dropping shots down the stretch and tying for fourth. And after a brief run at the 2007 PGA Championship, he wound up third.
SAD
"Even last week, the final nine (holes) of the tournament, I had a lot of chances, but I still didn't quite hole out," Els said. "I'm still working on that. If Tiger or Phil (Mickelson) or other players were there, maybe they would have beaten me."
Ending that nasty three- and a half-year drought on the PGA Tour should only help.
Woods and Mickelson are not at Innisbrook; that reunion takes place next week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Els, who has returned to "Big Three" status in the world ranking at the moment, still faces a stern test at Innisbrook, regarded by most players as one of the strongest tour courses on Florida without having to change its par to a 70.
The Copperhead course does not have a Florida look to it. There are changes in elevation, rare in a state where an ant pile can pass as a mountain. Most fairways are lined with trees, giving it a traditional look, and forcing players to think off the tee.

The only issue at the moment is sponsorship. PODS signed on as the title sponsor last year, but the company is for sale, and the tour is looking for another sponsor to keep Tampa Bay's spot on the PGA Tour rotation.
Els is part of a field that includes defending champion Calcavechia, Steve Stricker, Justin Rose of England, two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen and Davis Love III.

MVPs return to teams after injuries Players show no signs of slowdown
OFFICE OF STUDY BROADCAST
The University of Texas
NHL
In a dazzling return after missing $6 \frac{1}{2}$ weeks with a high ankle sprain, Crosby set up Maxime Talbot for the game's first goal with only 2:47 remaining. He created numerous scoring opportunities with his speed and stickhandling as the Penguins took over the Eastern Conference lead with about a month remaining in the regular season.
Welcome back, Sid and Pete.
Former MVPs Sidney Crosby and Peter Forsberg successfully returned to the NHL Tuesday night. Crosby, the reigning Hart Trophy winner, came off the injured list and helped the Pittsburgh Penguins beat Tampa Bay 2-0. Forsberg, the 2003 league most valuable player, made his season debut with Colorado in a 2-1 victory over Vancouver.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
“It’s good to get it over with and get that feel and get that timing back, but it’s still not there,” Crosby said. “I had some great chances that I would have loved to put in. It didn’t happen. Sometimes that’s the way it goes. I’m a little rusty.”
Forsberg showed little rust despite being out for nearly a year mending a foot problem.
"I was just happy I was out there," Forsberg said. "I felt OK, not bad, not good.
"It's been a long time since I
played a real game. It's going to be a real struggle here in the beginning, the first couple of games. I hope people understand that."
PENGUINS 2,
LIGHTNING 0
John-Michael Liles scored his first goal in nearly four months and the Avalanche won their fourth straight.
Elsewhere, it was: Florida 1,
Boston 0; Calgary 1, Columbus 0;

New York Islanders 4, the New York
Rangers 3 in a shootout; Nashville 5,
Edmonton 1; Chicago 4, Minnesota 2;
Buffalo 5, Philadelphia 2; and St.
Louis 3, Los Angeles 2.
At Tampa, Fla., Marc-Andre Fleury made only his second start following his own extended injury layoff with an injured ankle and turned aside 35 shots in his first shutout since Nov. 24 and third of the season.
Evgeni Malkin, edging to within a point of the NHL scoring lead, scored into an empty net with 5 seconds remaining.
But it was Crosby's night. The reigning NHL scoring champion appeared as if he had been off only a few days rather than since Jan. 18 with a high ankle sprain.
"He's the best player in the league," Fleury said. "Having him on our side is always a big help."

Senior Taylor McIntosh, junior Ivana Catic and sophomore Kelly Kohn were all honored for their work in the classroom.
Kansas State led all Big 12 schools with eight selections, seven on the first team and one on the second. The second team requires a GPA of 3.0-3.2.
The Big 12 announced its Academic all-conference teams on Wednesday and three Jayhawks were named to the first team, which requires a GPA of 3.2 or better.
On senior night, senior forward Jamie Boyd made her second start of the season and sixth of her career, while sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs made her first start of the year and also sixth of her career.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson decided to shake up her starting line-up for the last regular season game of the year.
THE STARTING LINE
HEAD OF THE CLASS
Jayhawk fans stayed in the stands after the final buzzer for a presentation to each player at half court. Coach Bonnie Henrickson greeted the players with a framed jersey, cheerleaders tossed roses and every player came out to thank McIntosh and Boyd.
Purple power was in full effect as the Wildcat faithful filled nearly half the Fieldhouse. The Kansas State fans erupted after every good play from their team - of which there were more than a few - and seemed to eliminate any home court advantage for Kansas.
BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 10B)
Jacobs got the nod ahead of junior guard Ivana Catic and that's the first time all season Catic's come off the bench. As a result, sophomore guard Sade Morris was the only Jayhawk to start all 29 regular season games.
Seniors Taylor McIntosh and Jamie Boyd were honored before and after Wednesday night's game for their four-year contributions to Kansas basketball.
The game may have been played in Allen Fieldhouse, but at times it felt more like Bramlette Coliseum East.

editor's note
P
When my sister and I were about 9 and 7, respectively, we started a band in our bedroom. We wrote the songs together, Shana was the singer, and I was the drummer. In lieu of a real drum set, I would bang the detachable legs of one of my shelves on a cardboard box, and it felt great. I don't remember our name or any of our songs. In fact, we only lasted a few days because we both got bored with music; we didn't have the necessary talent or equipment to be in a band. But it sparked something in me.
My next band experience came in elementary school when a few friends and I decided to start The Hot Fudge Sundaas. We practiced once or
Believe it or not, I've been in two bands.
Nowadays, I've left my dreams of musical stardom behind and focused on more "realistic" goals. But the musician in me comes out from time to time in the shower or while playing the drums for Rock Band. I guess I can't leave it completely behind.
And hey, if anyone needs a drummer, call me!

Making and using homemade soap
By Dianne Smith
dsmith@kansan.com
Marysa Sacerdote stands over a 5-gallon bucket with a new hand-held kitchen mixer in her hands." I think this one has more power than the last one," she says, guiding the mixer through the soap mixture in the bucket.
She stares intently at the soap, daring it to set up before she gets it into the molds. Over her linen pants and T-shirt, she wears rubber gloves and a whimsical plastic apron printed with coffee cups and pastries. Sacerdote is at work, but the environment is certainly not as stressful as any corporate cubicle.
Bob Marley plays from a stereo in the living room, and a relaxing scent fills the room, a mixture of all the essential oils and the finished bars of soap stacked on shelves in the hallway. Glass bottles of essential oils sit in the windowsill amongst bud vases and other knickknacks.
The ingredients
This is the factory for Healing Moon Soaps, the natural soap company that Sacerdote runs out of her home in East Lawrence. She made her first batch of soap 10 years ago this month. She started selling her soaps at holiday craft shows about a year later, but it wasn't until five years ago that her business really took off. Today her soaps are sold at six locations in Lawrence, including The Merc, Hy-Vee and Weaver's Department Store.
"Most of them are happy that there is an alternative, that they smell nice and that they're not full of parabens - chemicals and other additives," Eastling says.
Sacreddee makes soap out of only natural ingredients. Her basic recipe consists of palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, filtered water and sodium hydroxide, commonly called lye, which is a naturally occurring liquid extracted from soaking wood
Want to do it
Local products are the newest trend in the all-natural industry, says Laurel Eastling, HealthMarket manager at HyVee. 4000 W. Sixth St. Locally made soaps sell very well, Eastling says, because customers like that they're natural and don't irritate sensitive skin.
Check out these sources for basic recipes, tips and tricks.

ashes in water. For the scent, she adds essential oils, herbs and spices. Clays, iron oxides and botanicals add the coloring.

She gets her ingredients locally whenever possible. The honey in her honey-oatmeal soap comes from Blossom Trail Bee Ranch in Baldwin City. The crushed rose petals in her lavender-rose soap come from the tea roses in her own garden. She buys only high-quality ingredients and is careful about what she puts into her body or on her skin.

"Your skin is everything; everything you take in becomes a part of you." Sacrardote says.
For her, using only plant materials is a personal decision. Homemade soap also can be made using animal products such as goat's milk, tallow or lard. Commercial soaps, however, use synthetic chemicals that can be harsh on your skin. Eastling says a lot of customers have sensitivities to these chemicals.
To streamline the process of coloring her soaps, Marysa Sacerdote mixes clay pigments and botanicals with olive oil and stores the mixture in jars. The olive oil helps release the color in the botanicals.
Alysia Padilla, Leavenworth junior says natural soap is less drying. "Commercial soap sucks moisture out of your skin," she says. "You feel like you have to put on a bottle of lotion."
Katelyn McGill, Omaha, Neb., junior, started using natural soap because she was fed up with the products her dermatologist had prescribed for her acne. The Retin-A, a type of acne medicine, had dried out her skin and made it sensitive to sunlight.
She then pours the mixture into the wooden boxes she uses as molds. She covers the tops of the boxes with squares of cardboard then swaddles them with blankets. The boxes are stored on a stainless-steel kitchen rack nested between her washing machine and the far corner of her kitchen.
Making mannequins and the later corner of her kitchen.
"My life is one big game of lenga," she says as she maneuvers another box of soap onto the already full rack.
"I had gone away from anything natural, and it was more harmful than anything," she says. McGill started using Sacerdote's soap about a year ago and now says her skin is smoother and less irritated.
While Sacerdote mans the mixer, a friend gradually pours in the ingredients that scent and color the soap. Depending on the type of soap, that could be anything from crushed rose petals and lavender essential oil to oatmeal and peppermint essential oil. The oatmeal and other plant materials serve as natural exfoliants, leaving skin smooth and refreshed.
The process
Cold-process is the simplest method because the mixture cooks itself, reaching temperatures of 130 degrees on its own. Sacerdote first mixes the filtered water and oil. She then adds the lye to a bucket of palm, coconut and olive oils and breaks out her hand-held electric mixer. She mixes the batter until it starts to thicken like pudding—what soap makers call "trace."
Healing Moon Soaps sells seven varieties of soap, plus lip balm, bath salts and room sprays. Sacreddee makes gift packs to sell on her Web site.

Homemade soap can be made two ways: coldprocess and hot-process. Sacerdote uses the coldprocess method, which uses only the heat produced by the chemical reaction of mixing the lye and the oils.
Every few weeks, she reserves a whole day for soap making. It's an efficient operation: She can make 500 bars in one day. She spends the morning measuring the ingredients and setting them out in her kitchen. Sacerdote puts Bob Mariley on the stereo, ties on her apron and gets ready for a busy day at work.
to finish curing before she can sell it. It first spends one week in the molds while it cooks, then she scrapes the ash off and cuts it into bars. The bars are then stored unwrapped for at least another week. Sacerdote says it's important to let the soap cure so that it doesn't get musky in the shower.

DIY: replacing a zipper
A ZIPPY FIX
Does your favorite pair of pants have a broken zipper? Don't throw them out just yet, because a zipper can be easily fixed. Carolyn Hill, manager of Hobby Lobby's fabric department.

An example of pinning and basting.
manual
1801 W.23rd St., explains three easy steps for fixing a zipper.
Take out the old zipper. Use a seam ripper and some scissors to cut the threads holding the old zipper in place. Be careful not to rip the fabric. Once the zipper is out, you can use it to determine what size zipper you will need to replace it with. Hobby Lobby sells many different sizes and colors of zippers, ranging in price from $1 to $5.
Pin and baste. Put the top side of the zipper against the back side (inside) of the fabric.Pin the zipper in place.With a needle and thread,aste the zipper to the fabric.Basting requires you to make several stitches (going down through the fabric and zipper and back up the other side) along the length of the zipper.This will hold the zipper in place while you are sewing.Remove the pins once you've finished basting.
Stitch. Put the zipper foot on your sewing machine and sew each side of the zipper to the fabric. If you don't have a sewing machine, Hill says you can stitch the zipper by hand, but it will probably not last for a long time.

Thread and needles for basting and sewing can also be found at Hobby Lobby.Thread is usually a couple dollars for 250 yards and needles come in assorted packages for $2 or less.

hita
Brandon Bundy,Wichita graduate student, is a Crock- Pot aficionado. "It's easy, it's bulk and I can make something for the whole week,"
Slow-cooking turkey breasts give you a lot of bird for your buck. A boneless turkey breast costs between $6 and $8. The benefit of buying just the breast is it's all meat—once it's cooked, just carve away.
Bundy says.
At the end of the day your home will be filled with the aroma of a meal ready to eat. I kept track of how long it took me to prepare this meal from the time the turkey left my freezer to when it reached my plate.The total time I spent preparing dinner: four minutes.Not bad for a meal I can eat for several days.
The night before you cook the turkey breast, take it out of the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Before you head to class in the morning, place it in the slow cooker along with a can of chicken broth. Add some sliced potatoes, carrots and other vegetables for a side dish. Most slow cookers have "high" and "low" settings. Set the cooker to low and go on your merry way. Depending on the size of the turkey breast, it will take between five and seven hours to cook on the low setting. Using the low setting keeps the meat from getting too dry. You'll know the turkey is cooked when the meat pulls apart easily and is uniformly white in color.

music guy Cloud Cult
"Did you hear about the deaf girl, the one whose song's gone No. 1? Three minutes of silence on the radio is the best damn gift for everyone."
That lyric off Cloud Cult's last album, The Meaning of 8, really sums up what they try, successfully, to do: make music that's different than everything on the radio. Cloud Cult, or at least its current incarnation, came about in much the same way that a lot of bands these days do; personal tragedy. In Cloud Cult's case, however, the tragedy was much more than "emo boy loses emo girl, cries"—it was more along the lines of "thoughtful, father loses infant son in his sleep."
A road map to music utopia
By Ben Carmisa
Craig Minowa, Cloud Cult's singer/songwriter, has taken this life-altering experience and from it created some of the most beautiful music imaginable. Since 2002, Minowa has written upwards of 100 songs dealing with virtually every aspect of his family's loss. Each album the group has released had an overarching theme or message, from birth to death, life and the afterlife, and the medication used to deal with those topics. Cloud Cult's newest album, Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes), is a masterfully produced album about, according to Minowa, rebirth and learning how to deal with life's hardships. Like the rest of their albums, Feel Good Ghosts is printed on $100%$ post-consumer organic
plastic. At times thoroughly depressing and at others beautifully uplifting. Cloud Cult has a unique talent for making dichotomous styles mix well with each other.The album's third track, "The Tornado Lessons," ends with overdubbed electric guitar riffs that merge into piano chords that would fit equally as well in a children's fairy tale while what sounds like a chipmunk sings over acoustic guitar. The song ends with a powerful crescendo of crashing drums and then, without skipping a beat, the fourth track, "When Water Comes To Life," comes in with an orchestral waltz (violins, cellos, et al). If lesser musicians tried to do the same thing, the listener would almost certainly find themselves scratching their head, but Minowa and Co. somehow make it all work as a cohesive package—and they do it well.
Their live show is amazing as well. Cloud Cult tours with two live painters. Starting with white canvases, each of them paints onstage while the band performs. By the time Cloud Cult's set is through, they have produced incredibly detailed paintings. It's an intense experience. These paintings are then auctioned off that night, and the band uses the proceeds to purchase credits in order to stay carbon neutral while touring.As someone who has been to a lot of concerts (upwards of 200), I'm rarely impressed. Cloud Cult, however, is an appalian band that truly proves that those who say "the best art comes from pain" are right, and is certainly among the top unsigned acts in the country.
I had the opportunity to email Minowa some questions about his newest album and environmental beliefs. Here's what he had to say:
How did the live painting start?
CM: My wife and one of my closest friends are painters. It's a great way for us to be able to enjoy this project together and be in a band together.
How did Feel Good Ghosts come together CM: I do the writing and recording up here at the farm and send the band those tracks. Most of the string parts are originally performed on the keyboard, and they embellish and record the real instruments. We had a hired studio drummer for this CD and we added Shawn Neary to the lineup, who was formally the bass player of Tapes 'n' Tapes.
Were there any songs that were
particularly hard to write? CM:Yes, there was a song called "A Place" that I ditched off the album last minute, despite having put more work into it than any other. I just couldn't work out the glitches in time.
Why is environmentalism important to you?
CM: Environmentalism should be important to everyone. Translated literally, it's the science of learning how to survive, as a species, as long as possible on this planet. If you're interested in keeping things alive, you have a natural inclination to be interested in environmentalism.
What does your band do to help the environment?
CM: 100% postconsumer recycled and organic CDs and merchandise, biodiesel van, solar panels, geothermal recording studio, we've planted over
PARKS CITY
a thousand trees, and we're constantly looking for ways to do things better.
Craig Minowa
What prompted your environmentalism? CM: I've been like that as far back as I can remember. I can even remember almost getting fired from my very first job at Pizza Hut, because I hid all their aerosols and tried to get them to use this hand pump spray device I concocted. It's just something I feel very deeply about, and there's no option to live and work in any way other than in a manner that respects the other life forms that are sharing this little sphere with us.
Check out Kansan.com for the complete interview. If Cloud Cult interests you, make sure to show up at Davey's Uptown Ramblers Club, 3402 Main St., Kansas City, Mo., on Monday (21+,$10). If you see me, be sure to say "hi!" Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes) goes on press later this week at www.cloudcult.com).

"Burgers, beer, bocce. That's what's going on here," says Joshua Mochel, owner of Jo Shmo's, 724 Massachusetts St.
You're probably all too familiar with the first two, but you might not be too knowledgeable about that last item.
In bocce (pronounced boch-ee), two teams of two players each compete on a long court filled with sand. A small ball (pallino) is thrown to the other side of the lane, then becomes a target. The team then throws eight large balls (bocci), trying to get each ball as close to the target as possible.
- Travis Brown
The game gives Jo Shmo's a much different atmosphere than any other Lawrence bars. Quinn Armstrong, Chicago senior; enjoys this new alternative."It's something different. Definitely not your average bar," Quinn says.
A restaurant and bar are located on the first floor. Move up to the second floor and things get a little more interesting. This area has a bocce court and booths with coolers so you don't have to make continual beer runs. Large windows also provide a great view of downtown.

Friendly fans and exploding engines: AVIP pass into the lives of local musicians
Barret Emke, Prairie Village senior, stands under the "Happy Birthday" sign that decorates the ceiling of the Eighth Street Tap Room. His eyes are closed behind his black-rimmed glasses, and he's singing loudly enough to leave your ears ringing for a couple hours.
Surrounding Emke are the other four members of the band Boo and Boo Too, rocking out so hard that one of the guitarists has dropped to his knees on the concrete floor. Facing Emke in the crowd are his closest friends—not even a foot away from his mic—and they're singing right back at him while violently shaking their heads to the music.
They play a song from their practice session, only this time the cops don't show up to complain about the noise. The song is a new one, but no one else would know that except their most avid fans, who don't miss a beat. The Indie-rock sound escaping from their instruments is fresh and a tough one to copy.
Their sound, described as a "loud wall of noise" by Derrick Solsberg, Kansas City, Mo., bass guitarist, is hard on the ears, vocal chords and especially the
Summit, Mo., guitarist. "I can't imagine doing anything else."
Boo and Boo Too formed in December 2004. Emke had been playing guitar for a long time and wanted to start playing and writing songs with other people instead of just working by himself. He played with two of his friends from high school, Eric Ratzel and Stan Tanner (who are no longer in the band), and the trio would practice in his mom's basement.
This practice space was also an inspiration for the band's name. Emke moss was in the process of moving, so a lot of her things were in boxes, including a book called Boo and Boo Too. Emke fondly remembered the book, which was about two ghosts that lived in a house together. For Emke, the book represented a lot of what was going on in his life at the time, especially with his mother moving out of his children house. It also applied to the band because a lot of the lyrics for Boo and Boo Too deal with ghosts as a metaphor for memories. "I kind of felt like the house was haunted because one no one was there anymore," Emke said. "My mom didn't even
decided that he really fit and the band had a different sound that we all wanted." Emke says. "So, we decided that we didn't want him to not play with us."
Because all members of the band were friends before they started playing together, they've based a lot of their band around their friends and their interactions with people outside the band. They even had a show called Chomp Womp—named after a silly noise that Gibson made up—that made it possible for all their friends to exhibit their own artwork from photography to jewelry to comic
While Boo and Boo Too's members changed, their sound also transformed into something they all liked, so they started writing together Whenever they write songs, it usually just comes from an idea one of them has or comes from something as simple as just a couple of chords that one of them likes. When they play their songs live, their songs change even more through improvisation, especially when they're particularly energetic at a show and their other friends are there to cheer them on.
Guinn describes when he was stuck in Lodi, Ohio for a week after the engine of the band's vehicle exploded. The town only had a truck stop and a car mechanic. They stayed in a hotel but refused to watch television the whole time. Instead, they did a lot of yoga and went on a lot of walks. Even in the worst situations, though, Guinn says that none of the members ever really got homesick because they were never gone for more than three weeks.
Rustine Bragaw, Olathe senior and bass guitarist for the Lawrence-based band Volunteers, describes his on-the-road experiences in the same way. He loves meeting new people but admitted to sleeping on a lot of inflatable pool rafts on floors and sometimes just in the band's Chevy Astro Van.
Bragaw will graduate this spring and also wants to live his life as a musician. For Bragaw, it's the best thing he can imagine himself doing because he gets to interact with his friends and write songs with them.
Volunteers' goal is to be able to play music and make enough money to pay their bills. During spring

instruments. But the band members can't think of anything else they would rather do.
All five members of the band—Guaraz Bashyakarla, Barret Emke, Drew Gibson, Allen Guinn and Derrick Solsberg—have loved music since they were very young, drawing inspiration from artists like David Bowie, My Bloody Valentine and Radiohead. And they have loved playing music even more. "I like music because I'm totally ADD, and it helps me think the least," says Allen Guinn, Lee's
know that we were practicing there for a while."
Emke and Tanner met Guaraz Bashyakarla and Luke Namee through friends when they first came to the University of Kansas. They all began playing together, but then went on hiatus in the summer of 2006, partly because Tanner was going abroad to Russia. During this hiatus, they met Allen Guinn and Derrick Solsberg and started practicing and jamming together, which led to them playing together.
"After a month of playing with Derrick, we

All five are members of Boo and Boo Too, a local indie-rock band.
They get a lot of inspiration from their friends and fans, but they also get a lot of inspiration on the road. "Being on the road is one of the most exciting parts about being in a band," says Guaraz Bashyakarla, Wichita senior and drummer for the band, said. The band has gone on three tours, but this last summer was their first tour that was more than a week long. They went through the Midwest up to Ohio then Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. "The thing that

break, they're going to New York to speak with some record labels. If that doesn't work out, Bragaw guarantees that they would still find ways to make music.
Brad Young, Lawrence musician, has already found ways to live out his dream. As drummer for the local band The Wiltmotts, Young gets to play music while still working in a music store and teaching guitar to Lawrence residents. He has worked out a schedule so he can work during the afternoons and play music and write songs in the mornings and evenings."My

appeals to me is that when you are in a car for a certain amount of time, you aren't paying attention to the world." Bashyakarla says. "On the road, there is no sense of time."
Guitarist Guinn likes the unexpected situations that arise from being on the road. He describes a time in Iowa when one of their fans invited them back home to stay the night at his parents' house. Guinn thought of him as shy and awkward but loved the fact that the situation was so unpredictable. "People are so nice to bands. On tour we never really stay in hotels or sleep in cars," Guinn says. He describes another time when a fan bought them all Mexican food and let them watch David Lynch movies at his house.
But driving across the country can lead to some unfortunate accidents, as well.

It's hard to make money if no one has heard you. And on tour, most bands only break even after gas and hotel expenses. The same petty drama involved in many lines of business is also present on the music scene.
goal in music is to just continue creating and feeling self-gratification from that. It makes me feel whole." Young says.
Guinn, guitarist for Boo and Boo Too, moved to Lawrence from Kansas City to get away from the "clique-y" music scene there. However, he says it can sometimes be just as "clique-y" here, which bums him out. "I was naive when I got into music, hoping there wouldn't be as much competition as if you were a doctor or lawyer, but it isn't that way, and I
Of course, life isn't always easy when you are in a band.

don't understand why it can't be," Guinn says.
In Lawrence, the competition is high, even though several bars host live music. This is why recording is so important for these bands. With Web sites like MySpace, Facebook and YouTube, it's easy to get music out there, whether you're the Red Hot Chili Peppers or a band recording in a garage.
Boo and Boo Too,Volunteers and The Wilmotts have all spent hours upon hours recording in the studio. Boo and Boo Too has recorded four EPs on Iron Paw Records—a label one of their friends started—and the band has been working on a full-length album for the past six months. The band, however, does not plan on signing with any big
record label any time soon."A lot of hitting it big is based on chance or superficiality," Emke says."A record label doesn't care because they're basically using you."
Boo and Boo Too wants to be able to continue to record and do things the way they want. Once their album is released, they plan on touring more
and getting their music heard. Ideally, Emke says they would love to make money from their work, but money's not what they're worried about. They just want to continue doing what they love to do and getting a positive response from their fans. As Emke says, "As long as there are people that are into what we're doing, that's enough for us right now."

For the casual music fan, it can all be too much to follow, which is why we have Pandora.com.

questions
MARCO GUAVARENAS
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW GROWING UP?
Freddie Stevenson singer-songwriter
Fraggle Rock. My mom was a creator and writer for that show, so I watched it regularly on VHS.
WHAT SONG OR BAND ARE YOU CURRENTLY OBSSEED WITH?
.
Chris Dickson Wichita senior
Right now I'm obsessed with Levon Helm, who used to be a member of the rock group The Band. He's got a solo record out right now that is absolutely beautiful. It's kind of a bluegrass sound where he plays with his family. It's so real and where music belongs.
WHERE'S YOUR FAVORITE
PLACE YOU'VE TRAVELED?
As a kid I would have to say Denver, the Last Dinosaur.
I love the mashups on www. thehoodinternet.com. My favorite right now is Ghost Hustler and Rick Ross. I can't get that line, "Every day I'm hustlin'," out of my head.
.
What made a real effect on me when I was little was visiting Wyoming. It was so big, and it still makes a strong impression on me. I love big open spaces, lots of sky and being able to see on for miles. I'm from Scotland, so that's something I love. I also love New York, but that's another kind of experience.
WHAT WAS THE BEST CONCERT YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO?
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS?
Gina Souders
New York City was a lot of fun. I went there with KJHK, and it was a really good time. I got stuck on the public transit a lot and wanted to scream, "I'm stuck in Brooklyn!" it's exciting to be in the same city Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II was filmed.
Probably when I saw Tom Waits play at the Hammersmith Apollo in London a couple years ago. He hadn't played in London in 17 years. I've listened to his music ever since I was a kid, so it was exciting to finally see him in the flesh.
I could be in a number of places in a number of ways. I could be living on a ranch in Wyoming as a hermit. I'd love to be touring regularly, but if I was honest with myself, I'll probably still be on the road.
When I saw Spoon my freshman year with all of my freshman-year friends. Some bizarre events went down that night. My balding professor was there just rocking out to Spoon.
Trying to make sense of my degree. Right now I'm a Japanese major, but I've had other majors in the past. Ideally I'd like to be on the West Coast doing design, but realistically I'll probably be on the West Coast painting.

good for you bad for you SPARE YOUR HAIR
Lee Heeter, salon coordinator at Headmasters, 809 Vermont St, says we only need to wash our hair two or three times a week. It may sound disgusting, but Heeter says that simply rinsing your hair with water and massaging the scalp will wash away almost all the grime.
Girls, everyone knows you're hiding that greasy hair with a baseball cap or a convenient ponytail. Guys, we know you're too lazy to shower every day, as well. But not scrubbing your scalp may actually be beneficial for those lovely locks.
Scrubbing with a full head of lather, while pretty in the commercials, actually causes much unneeded friction between hair follicles. The friction can cause your hair to look and feel textured. Using a conditioner and rinsing will reduce this effect.
Heeter says there are exceptions to every rule. People with oily hair probably need to wash daily. The same goes for those who use products such as hair color frequently.
"I work at On the Border, so I need to wash my hair because I don't want to smell like Mexican food." Rocklin says.
Sometimes washing seems like a necessity. Julie Rocklin, Overland Park senior, says she washes every day sometimes twice a day.
"After working out, go ahead and rinse your hair and use a light conditioner. It's really just the bacteria that makes your hair smell, not the sweat."
Heeter also says using store-bought brands can be damaging to your hair. His advice is to use a professional product, for both men and women. He added that women shouldn't be afraid to use a product labeled for men.
Working out can also prompt some to think washing is necessary, but Heeter says there is a better solution to keeping your hair smelling fresh than running it through the ringer every day.
"The shampoo can't tell if you have a penis." Heeter says.
VERDICT: BAD FOR YOU
Keeping your hair smelling good, feeling good and healthy can be as easy as rinsing and conditioning. Next time you're wet and naked, remember to massage the scalp and focus on cleaning the hair that falls about three inches from the cuticle. The rest should take care of itself.

Twelfth Night
Ask the modern layman about Shakespeare and you're bound to hear something about stuffy soliloquies, lofty language and boring spiels about honor. Even I, an English major who is taking a class on Shakespeare, went into the KU Theatre's production of Twelfth Night thinking that my only weapon against dozing off would be the bottle of tea I smuggled in with me.
Twelfth Night is a two-hour riot fueled by sexual innuendoes, mistaken identities and gender role reversals. And to enhance the hilarity, the KU Theatre folks have set Shakespeare's later play in prohibition-era New Orleans, complete with prostitutes and righteous praachers. It's Shakespeare with a southern accent, Elizabethan courtiness with swamp-soaked feet.
A bunch of colorful and well cast characters are after the wealth or love of sassy sugar-mama Lady Olivia (DeAndrea Beatrice Herron). There's Viola (Jordan White), who is disguised as a man to avoid enemies and is trying to play matchmaker for her lady, Orsino (Amy Virginia Buchanan; casting Orsino as a woman diverges from the Shakespeare version and adds a homoerotic

(wist) Viola competes with the effeminate southern gentleman Sir Andrew (Spencer Holdren), who has been coudling with Sir Toby, a drunkard who wants his share of the pie. Then there is Malvolio (Garrett Kelly), the servant who is duped into believing that his lady, Olivia, has fallen for him.
The rule to the chaos is that those who want love have a hell of a time finding it, and those not looking have it plop into their unassuming lap. But of course, as in any traditional comedy, things have a way of working out in the end.
The play runs through this weekend at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. A student ticket costs $10.

how we met HAWK LOVE
Erica Heiden and Brandon Froelich
SANDY SMITH
Brandon Froelich, Lansing senior, and Erica Heiden, Des Moines, Iowa senior; lived on the 10th floor of Ellisworth Hall their freshman year. They first met at a Hawk Week poster sale. Heiden asked Froelich to hold a poster then walked away from him. "I guess I was kind of a bitch to him. Looking back on it, I don't know why." Heiden says.
Her feelings quickly changed when they had their first kiss in his dorm room. They started dating in October when they went to see an animated movie. Three and a half years later, they are still going strong.

KEEPIN' THE FAITH
My journey from altar girl to party girl. And back again.
CANADA
I was born and raised Catholic. I know you can't technically be born a religion, but when you're born into a family in which your grandmother wanted to baptize you in the sink because waiting two months for the official baptism is too long, I'd say I came pretty darn close. My family is not just the Christmas-and-Easter kind of Catholics. We're uber-Catholic. I grew up thinking it was normal to have a priest over for dinner; to have my hometown Archbishop know me by name and to meet a Cardinal by the time
I was 1. We have holy water by our front door, and I thought that every family used the "Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers" book for birthdays, anniversaries or significant family events. Boy, was I wrong.
This realization didn't come for quite some time. I went to Catholic grade school, of course. As much as I would love to say it's not as cliché as everyone makes it out to be, aside from nuns with rulers,
St. James was a straight stereotype.
Pleated plaid skirts, Mass every week,
memorized prayers and sneaky pubescent kids making out in the coat closet.
In 8th grade I transferred to a public school and experienced major culture shock. My world began to transform.
I realized kids watched TV shows besides Touched by an Angel and Full House. Secular radio replaced my Amy Grant and DC Talk CDs. My freshman year in high school, I even went to a concert without my parents. Hanson was so rebellious.
Being Catholic, I'm no stranger to alcohol. My parents introduced my three siblings and me to their good friend moderation when we were teenagers, allowing us to drink casually at the dinner table. My parents always exemplified drinking responsibly. But, as I grew older, I heard stories of my dad's frat-tastic days of yore, and it didn't take long for this apple to fall near the beer bong tree.
In high school, I felt like such a badass drinking my Bacardi Ices and Smirnoff Twists. After getting caught once or twice lying to my parents and attending college parties, I calmed down a bit. My dad said he knew I was going to drink in college—he just trusted it would be done responsibly. Not even I could have predicted how far from the truth that would turn out to be.
If you look at a photo album from my freshman year of college, you would think it was a public service announcement for alcohol abuse with the

tagline "Drinking makes you ugly." My eyes were squinty, my mascara was running and it was apparent that the party cup superglued to my hand spilled and gave me a beer shower. With fake IDs and random make-ups, my freshman year went off with a bang. I still went to church every Sunday, though it was

surely, my main group of friends evolved from bar-hoppers to members of the St. Lawrence Catholic Center. I didn't stop the hardcore party scene because I felt judged by my new friends, but I suddenly became more aware of my hypocritical lifestyle. I didn't want to be the girl who worried about being so hungover on Sunday that she gags a little bit when she takes the wine at communion. I didn't really make a conscious decision to change my ways. It just felt right to pray more and enjoy my faith. The more I prayed and the closer I came to God, the more at peace I felt.
Now, in my senior year, I wonder how this happened. If you had asked me freshman year if I thought I'd be leading retreats and going to Mass daily, I would have thought you were crazy. I hadn't turned into some born-again Christian à la Mandy Moore in Saved, who forced people to be "FILLED with Christ's love!" So who am I becoming?
I now try to live out my faith in everything I do. I haven't sworn off boys, and I'm not on some crazy prohibition crusade. Those who see me at Quinton's know this. But I'll stick to my beliefs even when it's uncomfortable. A nickname I have among a close group of my non-Catholic friends is "woman of the faith." I don't mind being the token faithful.
In fact, I kind of like it. My friends know it's not the only thing that defines me. It's just part of who I am.
Just as my time away from the sheltered days of Catholic school has helped me to be more accepting, I hope that through being myself—my whole self, from quirky sarcastic remarks to Jesus-lover to bar-goer—I can bring about a new stereotype for a Christian. One that doesn't involve an overbearing, "the-power-of-Christ-compels-you" speech, but instead one that shows you can have fun and still stick true to your beliefs. You don't have to choose one or the other.

Costly oil calls for solutions

Students affected by prices; oil drilling, biodegradables offered as answers to problem
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
The rising price of oil hit a record of $105 per barrel this week as students continue to empty their wallets at the pump.
Matt Kadel, Independence senior, said it cost him more than $40 to fill up the tank in his Chevy Malibu at the Conoco on 23rd Street.
"I feel like for me to do the things I want to do I'm going to need gas so I'll have to buy it at any price one way or another," Kadel said. "I would probably stop buying it once it reached about $10 per gallon, but I mean how else would I get around?"
According to kansasgasprices.com, the average gas price in Lawrence is $3.05 per gallon.
Travis Humphries, Dallas freshman, said hed also have to continue buying gas regardless of the cost.
"I try not to drive around as much because of the price, but I need to get around to the places I need to be so I don't really have a choice," he said. "When you're using your own money, it definitely isn't fun."
The increasing worldwide consumption of oil and the decreasing value of the dollar are the two main causes behind the rising
price of oil, said Timothy Carr, co-director of the KU Energy Research Center.
"As long as places like China and India keep growing, they're going to continue to need more oil," Carr said. "We're now in a period of strong worldwide demand."
The only thing that could stop the growing rate of demand is a worldwide recession, he said.
The last time the price of oil pushed the United States into a recession was in the late '70s and early '80s, but an Asian banking crisis halted the economic development of many developing countries, Carr said, which dropped the price of oil significantly in the early '90s.
T
Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN
The price of oil was at one of its cheapest points in January 1999 when it cost less than $9 per barrel, according to eia.doe.gov, a government Web site that tracks international energy statistics.
The only way to supply the growing demand is by discovering more oil deposits. Carr said.
The growing demand for oil in developing countries in the last 10 years has brought the price back up to more than $100 per barrel.
Brooke Badzin, Leawood junior, pumps gas into the car of Sara Kroeger, Omaha, Neb. Junior, at kwik Shop on Thursday evening. The average price of gas in Lawrence was $3.05 this week.
"There's plenty of oil and natural gas," Carr said. "We just have to find them."
Two large oil deposits have recently been
discovered in the Gulf of Mexico and in Alberta, a province in Canada.
The U.S. State Department announced on Monday that it would approve Keystone Pipeline's request to build a 3,400-kilometer pipeline from Alberta to Kansas, Illinois and Oklahoma.
According to Keystone Pipeline's Web site, transcanada.com/keystone, the company expects to finish the pipeline by 2010, but Carr said he thought it could take a little longer.
Carr said the pipeline could help bring down the price of oil but that would largely depend on uncontrollable factors such as
how far the value of the dollar drops and the possibility of a conflict between Venezuela and Colombia, where Carr said the U.S. received a lot of its oil.
Les Blevins, a retired mechanic in Lawrence, said he thought drilling for more oil was only a short-term solution.
Blevins is currently developing technology that he said would be able to convert biodegradable material — debris, sewage sludge, agricultural waste and even our municipal garbage — into electric power and biofuel.
"The facts are that there's already an intensive search for new oil deposits and it's gotten incredibly expensive." Blevins said. "Oil is a finite resource and it's getting harder and harder to find it."
He said he considered an alternative energy to be the only long-term solution to the current oil crisis.
"I think we're coming to the end of cheap oil and that's evident in the current price, which is sure to keep going up as time goes on," he said.
He said his patented technology, which he planned to introduce to the city commission later this month, would cut our dependence on oil considerably.

Associate professor Bartholomew Dean Department of Anthropology
Bartolomew Dean, associate professor of anthropology said he chose the field because he wants to make a difference in the world. Dean's travels include trips to the Peruvian Amazon.
BY ISADORA RANGEL
irangel@kansan.com
How did you end up working with the Urarina people of the Peruvian Amazon? It started 20 years ago. I wanted to have an experience with different peoples. The Urarina have different lives, they don't use money, they have multiple wives and practice infanticide.
Anthropologists leave the comfort of what we are familiar with and question the world. We understand important things in life that we take for granted.
Why did you choose anthropology? I wanted to make a difference in the world. I was naïve and wanted to be like a young Che Guevara and anthropology seemed to be the area in which I could help.
How can anthropology help change the world? It expands the narrow views most people have of humanity. It challenges stereotypes and helps us understand differences and similarities and come to the conclusion that we have much in common. It also challenges labels and why we use them. The power to label is the power to control people. It breaks their spirit.
I am originally from England and went to Canada as an immigrant, so I always felt misplaced. But after the first time I went to Mexico I started a love affair with Latin America.
You are coordinating a study abroad program in Peru. What can students learn by going there? A different way of life. It is a profound region on the planet in which early civilizations appeared thousands of years ago. Students can learn about their current challenges, poverty and inequalities. But they can also celebrate the beauty of their cultural tradition.
In 2003 you received a Fulbright Senior Scholar grant to do research in Latin America. What did you research? Political violence, in par-
ticular the impact of drug economies in Peru and Colombia. I also studied human rights violations during the civil wars in those countries.
I wanted to understand them and help them defend themselves. I wanted to put them on the map.
I also studied diseases like Tuberculosis and its patterns in Mexico, Peru and Central America. It still kills a lot of people in these countries, especially now that it has become drug resistant.
Many students have no idea about what happens outside of their world and I want to teach them about it. I've done my job if they can think critically because the future is in their hands.
What brought you to KU? It was a wonderful job opportunity. The anthropology department is very good and the faculty and students are very open-minded.
How was your experience living in the Amazon? Was there culture shock? In the beginning there was great culture shock. But then I began to love the Amazon. I even became a Peruvian resident, so I will retire in Peru.
After working in the U.S. and Peru I feel that I can make a greater difference in Peru. Students there are more engaged because the stakes for their education are greater.
Do you still do fieldwork? Yes,
especially through the exchange
program between KU and the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Peru. I do it mostly through grants given by KU and private foundations.
What is the most exciting thing about doing fieldwork? Have you worked with other Indigenous groups? I have also worked with the Tarahumara, from Northern Mexico.
The most exciting thing is the sense of discovery, seeing the smile in somebody's face. I like to teach people who are going to become anthropologists in Peru or who will work for the government. That is wonderful because I can influence policy-makers. I want to educate them about the world we live in.

THE HUBBLE LIBRARY
John Goering/KANSAN
Do You Know KU?
BY SAMANTHA FOSTER
When Carrie Morehouse Watson began her work at the university library, it consisted of a collection of 2,000 pieces of mostly irrelevant reference material contained in a single room. By the time she retired 34 years later, the library held 140,000 volumes, 1,185 periodicals, and 121 newspapers. In 1924, as a gesture of respect for her dedication, the new library building was named for her.
In 1924, the State Board of Administration approved the naming of Watson Library after Carrie Watson, a university librarian from 1878 to 1921.
sfoster@kansan.com
Watson was born in New York in 1858, and soon afterward her family moved to Kansas Territory. She enrolled at the University of Kansas in 1870 as a preparatory student. In 1877 she graduated with an AB degree, but turned up in Chancellor James Marvin's office "complaining about having nothing to do" according to an interview with the Lawrence Journal-World in 1938. She told the Kansas City Star in 1931 that at that point, she "suddenly
How did this single woman accomplish so much?
Although she was only considered the "assistant" librarian, Watson essentially ran the library herself. When the librarian, mathematics professor Ephraim Miller, resigned from the post in 1887, Carrie Watson took over his position and began her 34-year career as University librarian.
Watson reputedly fit the image of a stern, spinster librarian, who with a flash of her eye quelled any misbehavior. However, she was also a kind, helpful woman who never harbored any resentment towards students, even those she scolded.
Chancellor Lindley's objections may have come mainly from Watson's infamous management of the library. According to "Madara Librarian," an article by John H. McCool, the faculty was "up in arms" over her incompetence, and Chancellor Francis H. Snow was called upon to rectify the situation.
One such student, William Allen White, championed the naming of Watson Library in 1924 along with Jonathan M. Davis, then governor of Kansas. Although Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley objected to naming the building after Watson, the State Board of Administration approved
wanted to be back in the university" and to be "in some way a part of it." She was hired as a part-time secretary to the chancellor and assistant librarian in 1878.
Twenty-nine years after Watson's death, the University honored her memory by declaring March 29, 1972, to be Carrie Watson Day. Guest speakers and the public were welcomed to her library to commemorate the day and to remember how influential Watson had been at the University. Today, Watson Library continues to honor the memory of Carrie Watson.
A permanent Library Committee was established in 1901—Watson was purposefully excluded. Chancellor Frank Strong took over from Snow in 1901 but was unable to hire a new librarian. Campus opinion again called for Watson's replacement in 1915, but as before, Watson retained her position.
McCool's article calls her tenacious and formidable while showing a deep commitment to the University. She found it hard to relinquish her work at the library after her retirement, but she did not wish to be seen as "meddlesome."

Students volunteer at new church Faith community part of housing homeless, needy
2041
Marla Keown/KANSAN
Johnathan Wilson (left), Paola sophomore, and Justin Meier, pastor of River City Church, sit outside the latest addition of Meier's homeless-shelter program called the New Direction House. The New Direction House, 2245 Rhode Island St., has four bedrooms and enables the program to take care of four to six families. Meier's program is 18-month long and focuses on teaching vocational skills, budgeting and domestic skills to the families in the shelter.
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com
Almost 2 years ago, pastor Justin Meier started the New Direction House for the homeless and those in need by inviting an alcoholic man and his wife who were trying to save their marriage to live with Meier.
Meier recently started a church, called River City Church, to coincide with the house. Some university students volunteered to help with both the church and the house.
Meier was sent to Lawrence by Midwest Church Planting, which works to create emergent service churches around the United States. Emergent churches work to reach the "unchurched" or "post-churched."
"We are a faith community for people who have been burnt by the church," Meier said.
Meier came specifically to Lawrence to start a church and started the New Direction House first, because he believed that the church was always meant to serve and take care of people.
River City Church has some unconventional practices.
Besides meeting at 5 p.m. on Sunday in Centennial Elementary School, 2145 Louisana St., the "faith community," as Meiers called it, also has discussions during the sermon, interfaith dialogues and sings Dave Matthews Band and U2 songs for worship.
Meier said that River City Church was "trying to minister to people the way we think Jesus originally started out."
The New Direction House is in Meier's home, and they share living space and responsibilities.
The shelter features an 18-month curriculum that focuses on vocational training, budgeting and even hygiene. Once people 'graduate' the shelter, Meier said they should have enough money to buy a car and pay
first month's rent, a deposit and utilities for a place to live.
Both the New Direction House and River City Church are run entirely by volunteers.
Meier met Johnathon Wilson, community service chair for Delta Tau Delta fraternity, while judging a debate contest a few years ago. Now, Wilson is the public relations director for the New Direction House and River City Church.
Wilson started getting involved with the shelter and church to fulfill community service hours for his fraternity, and because he knew Meier.
"I see his vision." Wilson said.
The public relations work that Wilson does includes everything from talking to people to just hanging out. He also started a Facebook and MySpace page.
Wilson is also trying to get the Greek community involved with the church and shelter.
As the community service chair for Delta Tau Delta, Wilson requires the fraternity members to do 12 hours of community service per

Retired Maj. Mike Langley discusses the use of L.I.N.E. techniques while demonstrators show how to use the techniques in a knife fight. L.I.N.E. is primarily used for self defense. But Langley, a certified L.I.N.E. instructor, told AFROTC cadets that in a real fight, L.I.N.E. combatants would not pull any punches.

Grab and twist. Pull, Break.
L. I.N.E. training was the first hand-to-hand combat lab AFROTC
These were among the hand-tohand combat maneuvers students in the University of Kansas Air Force ROTC program rehearsed Tuesday night.
For two hours in the martial arts room of the Robinson Center, 60 cadets practiced wristlocks, headlocks and chokes on each other as part of training in the Linear Infighting Neural Override Engagement, L.I.N.E., system of self-defense.
"We try to build some fun stuff in," he said. "They all think combat is cool."
L. I.N.E., originally developed for the Marine Corps, imprints reflexive techniques and motions of self-defense in members of the military who learn the system.
Capt. Corey Edmonds, the active duty officer who oversees cadet activities, said the ROTC students appreciated the chance to do something active.
Some leadership labs, like meetings about proper dress and the finer points of a salute, are mandatory. But the ROTC staff also has the freedom to choose more engaging labs, like Tuesday night's training.
cadets had completed in at least four years, Booth said.
Matt Booth, Medicine Lodge senator and AFROTC public affairs officer, said the training qualified as one of 15-weekly leadership laboratories AFROTC students must complete this semester.
Stephanie Langley, Leavenworth junior, played a role in bringing L.I.N.E. training to the AFROTC by suggesting it to last year's staff.
She said the Air Force was trying to integrate more hand-to-hand combat into its training.
"This isn't about starting a fight," she said. "it's about what you would do if you got in a fight."
Though the training's primary purpose was self-defense, Ret. Maj. Langley told the AFROTC cadets that, in a real fight, combatants using L.I.N.E. would not pull any punches.
Langley's father, Retired Maj. Mike Langley, is a certified L.I.N.E. instructor. He was one of five instructors from Fort Leavenworth working with the cadets on Tuesday.
"If I burst your Achilles tendon, gee, I'm really sorry. But that's my job," Langley said to the cadets.
University cadets had only a two-hour taste of L.I.N.E. training, which usually requires about nine weeks to complete. But John Sebes, Lansing freshman, said that was enough to learn some useful techniques.
"I don't want to have to break someone's arm, but it's nice to know that if someone starts choking you out, you have an option," Sebes said.
Booth said the AFROTC's next big event would be Alumni Weekend on April 15. Cadets will also participate in an annual parade and drill competition at Memorial Stadium on May 3.

James Moeser told a massive crowd on the school's Polk Place quad. "We're all in a state of shock."
Police found Carson's vehicle, a blue 2005 Toyota Highlander with Georgia plates, about a mile from where her body was found after receiving a tip Thursday afternoon from a witness who spotted it near the main drag through the popular college town about 45 minutes west of Paleyish.

Curran said police had been in contact with authorities in Alabama investigating the killing of a female student at Auburn University, but added that the cases do not appear to be connected.
Moeser said there was nothing to link Carson's slaying to anyone on North Carolina's campus.
Carson was last seen alive 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, when she stayed behind at home to do schoolwork while her roommates went out.
"My information is she was an extraordinarily busy woman and it wasn't unusual for her to go to the office in the middle of the night," Curran said.

Moeser said he got a call early Thursday informing him that Carson was the victim.
Carson's body was found on the street at an intersection after neighbors reported hearing shots about 5 a.m. Wednesday in an upscale residential area. It was not clear why she was in the area, which does not have student housing.

Carson was a prestigious Morehead-Cain scholar and a North Carolina Fellow, taking part in a four-year leadership development program for undergraduates. A pre-med student, she majored in political science and biology, taught science at a Chapel Hill elementary school, studied abroad in Cuba, and spent summers volunteering in Ecuador, Egypt and Ghana as part of a school program.
Moeser said he last saw Carson on Tuesday, at the Tar Heels men's basketball game against Florida State.
"This is a tragedy magnified and multiplied by the number and depth of relationships, many relationships that Eve Carson had on this campus," Moeser told the students. "This enormous throng is a testament to the many and deep relationships. Eve Carson personified the Carolina spirit."

Eight Israelis killed in seminary shooting
BY ARON HELLER
Associated Press
JERUSALEM — A gunman entered the library of a rabbinical seminary and opened fire on a crowded nighttime study session Thursday, killing eight people and wounding nine before he was slain, police and rescue workers said. It was the first major militant attack in Jerusalem in more than four years.
Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip praised the operation in a statement, and thousands of Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza to celebrate.
The day's violence, which also included a deadly ambush of an army patrol near Israel's border with Gaza, was likely to complicate attempts by Egypt to arrange a truce between Israel and Palestinian militants. The U.S. is backing the Egyptian effort.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev and moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the shooting, But Regev said the Palestinian government must take steps against the extremists — not just denounce their attacks.
"Tonight's massacre in Jerusalem is a defining moment," he said. "It is clear that those people celebrating this bloodshed have shown themselves to be not only the enemies of Israel but of all of humanity."
Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice, who only on Wednesday persuaded Abbas to return to peace talks with Israel, called the attack an "act of terror and depravity."
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the attacker walked through the seminary's main gate and entered the library, where witnesses said some 80 people were gathered. He carried an assault rifle and pistol, and used both weapons in the attack. Rosenfeld said at least six empty bullet clips were found on the floor.
Israeli defense officials said the attacker came from east Jerusalem, the predominantly Palestinian section of the city. Jerusalem's Palestinians have Israeli ID cards that give them freedom of movement in Israel, unlike Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
David Simchon, head of the seminary, said the students had been preparing a celebration for the new month on the Jewish calendar, which includes the holiday of Purim. "We were planning to have a Purim party here tonight and instead we had a massacre," he told Channel 2 TV.
Two hours after the shooting, police found the body of the eighth victim. Rescue workers said nine people were wounded, three seriously.
Yehuda Meshi Zahav, head of the Zaka rescue service, entered the library after the attack. "The whole building looked like a slaughterhouse. The floor was covered in blood. The students were in class at the time of the attack," he said. "The floors are littered with holy books covered in blood."
Witnesses described a terrifying scene during the shooting, with students jumping out windows to escape.
One of the students, Yitzhak Dadon, said he shot the attacker twice in the head. "I laid on the roof of the study hall, cocked my gun and waited for him. He came out of the library spraying automatic fire," he said.
Police said an Israeli soldier in the area then shot the man dead. After
the shooting, hundreds of seminary students demonstrated outside the building, screaming for revenge and chanting, "Death to Arabs."
The seminary is the Mercaz Harav yeshiva in the Kiryat Moshe quarter at the entrance to Jerusalem, a prestigious center of Jewish studies identified with the leadership of the Jewish settlement movement in the West Bank.
It was founded by the late Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Hacohen Kook, the movement's spiritual founder, and serves some 400 high school students and young Israeli soldiers, and many of them carry arms.

Government red tape keeps food from Haitians

ried about.
CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti — While millions of Haitians go hungry, containers full of food are stacking up in the nation's ports because of government red tape — leaving tons of beans, rice and other staples to rot under a sweltering sun or be devoured by vermin.
A government attempt to clean up a corrupt port system that has helped make Haiti a major conduit for Colombian cocaine has added new layers oi bureaucracy — and led to backlogs so severe they are being felt 600 miles away in Miami, where cargo shipments to Haiti have ground almost to a standstill.
The problems are depriving desperate people of donated food. Some are so poor they are forced to eat cookies made of dirt, salt and vegetable oil to satisfy their hunger.
An Associated Press investigation found the situation is most severe in Cap-Haitien, Haiti's second-largest city. One recent afternoon, garbage men shovelled a pile of rotting pinto beans that had turned gray and crumbled to dust as cockroaches and beetles scur-
"So many times, by the time (the food) gets out of customs it's expired and we're forced to burn it," said Susie Scott Krabacher, whose Colorado-based Mercy and Sharing Foundation has worked in Haiti for 14 years. "The food is there. It is available. It just can't get to the people."
The men had found the putrid cargo by following a stench through stacked shipping containers to one holding 40,000 pounds of beans. It had been in port since November.
Though it is unclear how much of Haiti's food supply is tied up in the port delays, the effects could be serious. Haiti imports about 75 percent of its food supply, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And there is little room for error in a country where the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization reported that almost half the population was undernourished in 2002.
The U.N. World Food Program and large-scale U.S. rice growers say they have been able to get their food into Haiti by hiring local agents to handle bureaucratic procedures. But smaller charities, merchants and citizens have often been forced by the delays to throw away food or pay exorbitant fees.

Man sends pictures, claims to be bomber
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Police are investigating letters that arrived Thursday at Capitol Hill offices containing a photo of the Times Square military recruiting office before it was bombed and including the claim "We Did It."
The manila envelopes contained a photo of a man standing in front
of the recruiting station, according to a Democratic aide who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation. The photo was the kind commonly sent as a holiday greeting card.
The message on the card: "Happy New Year, We Did It"
The envelope also contained a packet of approximately 10 sheets of paper that seemed to be a political manifesto railing against the Iraq war and a booklet. The aide didn't know what the booklet was.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of an e-mail from the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calf), to other lawmakers Thursday that reads:
"A few offices on the House side have received a letter today addressed to 'Members of Congress' with a picture of a man standing in front of the Times Square recruiting station that was bombed in New York today
A man sent photos of himself to members of Congress, claiming responsibility for a Times Square bombing. It included a political manifesto opposing the war in Iraq and a booklet.
Postal inspectors were at the Capitol investigating the letters alongside Capitol Police, U.S. Postal Inspection Service spokesman Douglas Bem said. He had no details about the letters' content. A second law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing, confirmed some of their contents as described by the Democratic aide.
Authorities advised the recipients to leave the letters alone and call
police, the e-mail says.
The man was thin, white with graying hair, wearing a striped flannel shirt and jeans, according to the Democratic aide.
The small bomb caused minor damage to the New York military recruiting station before dawn Thursday and police were searching for a hooded bicyclist seen on a surveillance video pedaling away.
The blast left a gaping hole in the front window and shattered a glass door, twisting and blackening its metal frame. No one was hurt, but Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the device, though unsophisticated, could have caused "injury and even death."

Bomb hits Times Square recruiting office

BOMB SQUAD NYPD I WANT YOU
New York City police officers with the bomb squad unit inspect the damage done by an explosive device to the military recruitment center on Thursday in New York's Times Square. Authorities also say there were no injuries in the blast early Thursday morning, but the recruiting center at 43rd Street near Broadway had a large hole in the front window.
BY TOM HAYS ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — For the third time in as many years, someone riding a bike and armed with a small explosive has struck in Manhattan, this time in the highest-profile location by far: a landmark military recruitment station in the heart of Times Square.
The bomb, contained in a metal ammunition box, produced a sudden flash and billowing cloud of white smoke at about 3:40 a.m. Thursday — a scene captured by numerous security video cameras. When the smoke cleared, there were no injuries, serious damage nor clear indication of motive.
But like similar attacks on the British and Mexican consulates, the explosion frayed nerves of New Yorkers and tourists alike. Although authorities have not definitively linked the three attacks, the latest episode heightened speculation that they were the work of a lone bomber who, perhaps emboldened by his past success, sought out the bright lights of Times Square.

The commissioner cited other possible clues: A new bike discovered at about 7 a.m. in a Dumpster
The man caught the attention of a witness because he was riding slowly, wearing a backpack and a hooded jacket, Kelly said. The witness, who was buying a newspaper at the time, said because of the hood, the rider's face "was pretty much covered."
The blast bears a striking resemblance to the two consulate explosions.
In October, two small explosive devices were tossed over a fence at the Mexican consulate, shattering some windows; police said they believed someone on a bicycle threw the devices.
At the time, police said they were investigating whether it was connected to a nearly identical incident at the British consulate on May 5, 2005. No one was arrested in either incident.
In those incidents, "dummy hand grenades were used and the explosive, black powder, was put into those grenades and that caused the explosion," Kelly said. "Here, it may be similar powder — we still have to determine that. But it was placed in an ammunition box. That was the carrier for the explosive. There was no grenade."
Kelly held up a similar green metal box, noting they were readily available in Army-Navy surplus stores.
In another sign that the three blasts are related, all of them occurred between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m.
But the previous episodes generated nowhere near the response that the Times Square blast did. Kelly, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the top FBI official in New York appeared at a nationally televised news conference in Times Square, and presidential candidates issued statements condemning the blast.
Bloomberg said the act "insults every one of our brave men and women in uniform stationed around the world."
"Whoever the coward was that committed this disgraceful act on our city will be found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law," Bloomberg said. "We will not tolerate such attacks."
The military's 1,600 recruiting stations nationwide were alerted and advised to use extra caution, said Douglas Smith, spokesman for the Army recruiting command. He said New York recruiters would be working temporarily out of their Union Square office.
The military has had a recruiting presence in Times Square since the 1940s.
The current version of the station, built around eight years ago for $1.5 million, was designed to fit into the revitalized Times Square area with American flags.

Swayze's doctor 'optimistic'

LOS ANGELES — Patrick Swayze's doctor is "optimistic" about his prognosis for battling pancreatic

COMMENTARY
Students save lives by looking to others
JOSH ANDERSON
After finding my seat in Budig Hall for the first time, I realized that the scene was probably very similar to the one that preceded Seung-Hui Cho's rampage at Virginia Tech last year, and I resolved to find a seat closer to an exit. A few weeks later history repeated itself, this time at Northern Illinois University, in a lecture hall like Budig.
Following the Columbine shootings in 1999, experts quickly whipped up a grocery list of explanations of how this could happen: violence in video games, TV, movies, bad parenting and Marilyn Manson were all subject to public castigation. The nation is grateful for the insight of experts, whose analyses are hardly ever as short-sighted and predictable as they were in the wake of Columbine.
What we might find in hindsight exceeds what we're willing to accept about ourselves — that apathy and disdain for difference is so entrenched in our culture that people feel there is no other way out than to go down in a blaze of glory and take as many people with them as they can.
Perhaps our educational communities have become too much like the dog-eat-dog world of the businessman, where relationships must always ensure personal gain. The value of an individual is assessed by what someone can gain by association. We associate with people we feel are going to ensure our desired status and shun those who endanger it.
What is needed is a radical approach: a counter-culture tearing down the walls that an apathetic world forces us to build. We should reach out to each other with understanding and compassion. When we do this, we chip away at the mortar that hardens as a result of a culture of general apathy and rampant individualism while simultaneously laying the foundation for a better future.
Problems arise when people fall outside of the social system and when they perceive that the system — the same that dictates the popular morality that has classified them as "bad" — is an all-prevailing reality, and rebellion is the only option.
Instead of joining in the hubbub of the hows and whys and how-could-theys, I respond by reaching out to my fellow students.

I do so because our lives are at stake. Not in the sense that we should behave in a nice manner because we are afraid to die, but because we all deserve to live rich, full lives without the fear of being shot down by someone who has been. The solution should come from the students because we're all in this together.

COMMENTARY
Life began nine months earlier
NICK MANGIARACINA
If life begins at conception and not at birth, we must consider the consequences of changing this belief.
Let's start small. People alive or dead is approximately nine months older than their current age, so we must solve the problems this creates.
After finishing this task, we will need to start building a database of every person with a known birth and death date, so we can add nine months to his or her life span.
U. S. Census figures for every 10-year period beginning with 1790 will need to be revised. We cannot have demographers across America using inaccurate historical information.
Following this, Congress will find the need to take a stand to stand against those who insist life begins at birth. The Speaker of the House will say, "To those of you who believe life begins at birth, you are simply wrong. Life begins at conception — didn't you know that? If you disagree, we will give you a free T-shirt to persuade you."
The day we decide life begins at conception will be a good one for conservative political commentator Ann Coulter. She will applaud the 5-4 Supreme Court decision that women do not have a right to an abortion. Justice Antonin Scalia will write the majority opinion: "We could not find the part of The Constitution guaranteeing a woman the right to choose. We have decided that Jefferson was right when he wrote. 'All men are created equal.' Sorry women."
Once Congress announces the human race has simply been mistaken in its definition of life for the past 6,000 years, a panic will sweep the nation.
Teenagers will mob convenience
stores nationwide requesting packs of cigarettes. Society is not ready to handle such a rapid-fire increase in high school students trying to become "cool." We must smash this excess self-esteem before it leads to bullying and a tragic shortage of respectable, single, young women.
This is why we must station fathers, columnists and other realists at convenience stores nationwide. Outside the great windows filled with artificially-flavored snack foods, these brave volunteers will carry offensive slogans to humble the arrogant teenagers.
The more belligerent the signs, the better they'll be. Slogans like, "You've accomplished nothing" "No one likes you" and "You've made Phillip Morris proud!" should work.
We must not forget the 20-year-olds though. We can team the National Rifle Association with bar and liquor store owners across the country.
We will arm them with 9mm pistols and Uzis — for self-defense only. These business owners will need all the help they can get as hoards of

20 year olds descend locust-like on our alcohol emporiums, shouting, "Life begins at conception. Gimme a Budweiser!"
As the chaos in the streets unfolds, fetuses across America will rejoice. Kicks of joy will reverberate inside the wombs of pregnant women. At the same time Fox News will air an exclusive interview with a fetus. After five minutes of silence Bill O'Reilly will proclaim, "Ha, what now, you liberal bastards! Looks like the rights of the unborn have triumphed over your communist ideals."
While The Factor's music fades, so will Roe v. Wade. In its place a struggle will begin — again for a safer, less ashamed and less dogmatic society.

Drumline plays with Keith Urban
BY ANDREW WIEBE

When members of the KU Drumline heard they would have the opportunity to perform along country music star Keith Urban, many didn't even know who Urban was, let alone count themselves among his fan base.

Members of the KU Drumline perform Wednesday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., with country-music star Keith Urban, playing a quick set between two of Urban's songs.
"To tell you the truth, none of us on the drumline were the biggest Keith Urban fans," Ian Rocker, Garrett junior and bass drum player, said. "I don't really think we realized how famous he was until we got there."
Wednesday night, 18 KU Drumline snare, bass and symbol plaques became the latest college or high school drum corps to perform alongside Urban as part of his 24-city tour. The opportunity arose after Urban's representatives contacted
100071834936
drumline instructor Greg Haynes.
Haynes said he didn't even know who Urban was before being contacted. He said it was initially a challenge to find members to perform because it was the drumline's offseason, but once members found out about the opportunity to perform at the Sprint Center, all but two committed to participate.
The drumline performed a short segment during the middle of Urban's show, providing a transition between two songs. Although the performance lasted only a few minutes, Andrew Jackson, Overland Park freshman and snare player, said standing three feet away from Urban was a thrill.
"We were all getting pretty into the music," Jackson said. "And then all of a sudden it happened, and it was kind of like a roller coaster. It was over before we even knew what was going on."
During the show, members sat in
a reserved section near the front of the stage. Rocker said the atmosphere was definitely different from where the environments the group normally performs in — Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse.
{The Place To Be Cool}
"You are on stage, everybody is focused on you, expecting you to perform and do what you do," Rocker said. "It's a little more nerve-racking I would say."
"The fans were screaming so loud we really couldn't even really hear ourselves playing," he said. "They screamed the whole minute and a half we were up there."
He said although the crowd seemed surprised to see the group on stage at first, they gradually warmed up to their performance. Jackson said he was impressed with how involved and enthusiastic the audience was once they got over their initial shock.
Rocker said even though he wasn't an Urban fan, performing alongside Urban was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"It's going to be cool to look back and tell your kids that you played in front of 25,000 people in a drumline," Rocker said.

Legislators pass Kansas coal plant bill
The bill allows Sunflower and its partners to reapply for the permit, under rules requiring the secretary to approve it, allowing the $3.6 billion project to go forward. It also limits his power to deny future air-quality permits and to impose new limits on pollution and greenhouse gases.

The final version of the bill was drafted by three senators and three House members, who included several "green" provisions designed to attract the support of reluctant House members. The Senate had debated none of them, but they didn't cause problems with supporters sustaining their two-thirds majority there.
2223 Lousiana | 331-0900 | www.bestattanlawrence.com
Those provisions include a mandate that renewable resources, such as wind, account for 10 percent of the generating capacity by 2012 of investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives. The figure would rise to 20 percent by 2020.
"It advances a secure energy policy for Kansas," said Earl Watkins Jr., Sunflower's chief executive officer. "It effectively ensures that we'll have affordable energy in the future."
As for Sebelius' threatened veto, Watkins said: "I hope she reconsider. If she doesn't, then we'll just have to deal with it."
She's proposed allowing Sunflower to build one of its plants if it commits to investing in wind farms and conservation programs. Sunflower has rejected the deal, saying it needs two plants to keep out-of-state partners who will help finance the project.
Sebelius said that if she vetoes the bill, as expected, and legislators sustain her veto, she'll continue to try to work out a compromise.
"I fully intend to go back to the table with the proposal that I made at the outset," Sebelius said.
Neufeld has been confident that supporters will pick up the extra votes they'll need to override a veto. After Wednesday's vote in the House, he said some opponents want commitments on budget issues, while others have proposals they want debated — or blocked.

Team discusses flaws over lunch
BY MARK DENT

Darrell Arthur devoured a basket of hot wings, Russell Robinson nibbled on shrimp and Sherron Collins plowed through a turkey club. Sasha Kaun didn't eat anything — he wasn't hungry.
Welcome to the season's first basketball luncheon.

The Kansas men's basketball team celebrates its 2007 Big 12 Championship. The team held a players-only meeting at Henry T's on Thursday to discuss energy at practices.
A day after the Jayhawks lost to Oklahoma State two weeks ago, the team called for a players-only meeting over some lunch. All 17 met at Henry T's to discuss energy problems that they hoped to fix in time to make a run at their fourth consecutive Big 12 title, which they'll play on Saturday at Texas A&M.
"We figured we had to do something," Robinson said, "and we wanted to be in the best environment as possible."
In between bites, the players opened their mouths to talk. Well, except for Arthur. The hot wings kept his vocal cords from working
"My mouth was spicy," Arthur said. "I was spraying a little bit."
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
With that in mind, Arthur made just a couple of comments. The seniors did most of the speaking, Robinson, Jeremy Case, Darnell Jackson, Kaun and Rodrick Stewart all talked about how this was their last season, and they wanted everything to be perfect. Kaun noticed how they lacked intensity at practice. He called for his teammates to focus as much during practice as they do during games so the energy would carry over.
Collins admitted during the meeting that not all of the players had brought enough
energy to practice or games during the weeks leading up to loss to the Cowbvs.
"I wouldn't say we're taking teams for granted," Collins said, "but we just weren't going into the game how we should have been, aggressive and all that."
The meeting's worked so far. Kansas showed toughness in winning at Iowa State, then played with what Bill Self called high energy levels in blowouts against K-State and Texas Tech.
This is the second season in a row the Jayhawks participated in a players-only meeting. Last year, the Jayhawks met in the hallway outside their hotel rooms before they played against Florida.
"It's better when it's a players' meeting because the coaches can be a little intimidating," Robinson said. "But when it's just us, we can say what we want to say and say it freely."
Kansas beat the Gators after that discussion and later won the Big 12 title. The Jayhawks have the same goal this season, and they can do it on Saturday at Texas A&M. A victory would give Kansas at least a share of the conference title. If Texas loses to Oklahoma State on Sunday, the Jayhawks would win it outright.
Kansas' large amount of conference titles
Kansas' large amount of conference titles — four in a row, eight of the 12 since the Big 12's inception and 50 all time — just makes the team care more. Robinson said the team makes it an emphasis every year and that Self plans his practices and even his level of strictness the team can peak when a conference title is on the line. Self doesn't think fans understand how important conference
championships are.
"That's always a goal of ours," Self said. "Not the ultimate goal, but each season you set goals to win and league championships are great goals."
To win this one, the Jayhawks will have to get fired up for the third straight game in a row. They'll have to match the energy of the Aggies, who can likely clinch an NCAA Tournament berth with a win. But energy
shouldn't be a problem. It hasn't been since that day at Henry T.'s.

Texas A&M coach returns to Kansas for game against alma mater
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
Back when Texas A&M head coach Mark Turgeon played high school basketball at Topeka Hayden High School, he dreamt of a career in the NBA.
After averaging 3.4 points a game in four years at Kansas, Turgeon realized hed have to find a different job. Fortunately, Kansas coach Larry Brown gave him an idea.
"He was the first guy who said, 'I think you'll be a pretty good coach someday so why don't you start preparing yourself,' " Turgeon said.
Brown's prediction was correct. Turgeon has come a long way since his final game as a KU guard in 1987. He's coaching the 22-8 Texas A&M Aggies and will face his alma mater for the first time Saturday at 3 p.m.
"It's not going to be fun." Turgeon said.
"I'm not looking forward to it. It was really
the only downer of taking the job, but that's the way it's going to be."
Brown did more than help Turgeon find his calling as a basketball coach. He gave him his first job. Turgeon was on the bench as a graduate assistant for the 1987-88 season and saw Brown lead the team to a national title.
"That was probably the year I learned the most about coaching because I didn't have any pressure on me whatsoever," Turgeon said. "I just kind of sat back and watched him work and watched everything happen."
Coach Roy Williams kept Turgeon on his staff the next season, and Turgeon stayed as an assistant until 1992. After assistant jobs with Oregon

enjoyed living in his home state and had a wife and two kids who were comfortable in Wichita. Then last
spring, former Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie left for Kentucky. A&M Athletic Director Bill Byrne, who knew Turgeon from Oregon, was ready to hire Turgeon just two days after Gillispie
left.
Turgeon thought he'd be ready for the jump from the Missouri Valley to Big 12.
"I worked for Larry Brown," he said. "I worked for Roy Williams. They taught me to be ready for these situations."
But Turgeon might not have been prepared enough. The Aggies lost three of their first four conference games. Criticism piled with the losses. Earlier this season, Turgeon lashed out at reporters, saying he was in a no-win situation because Gillispie would get credit if they had a successful season, and he'd get blamed if they failed.
The situation calmed down slightly after A&M ran off a few victories, but the Aggies lost four of their previous five games before winning at Baylor Wednesday night. They're 22-8 and 8-7 in the Big 12. If the Aggies beat Kansas, they'll probably be assured of an NCAA Tournament bid.
Kansas coach Bill Self thinks the pressure
to win will make Turgeon forget about the emotions of playing against the Jayhawks.
"People down there are talking about, 'We need to kick Kansas' butt to accomplish what we want,'" Self said. "He's not going to be hung up by playing his alma mater."
Turgeon isn't so sure. He's not anxious to play the Jayhawks. This year, Kansas has a conference title at stake. He wants the matchup to mean that much to the Aggies in the future.
"I just hope it's a really big game every year," Turgeon said. "KU's proven that they're going to be a quality program every year. They've done it for a long time. Hopefully A&M can continue the success of the last three years and make the game mean a lot in the league race."

Kansas to face North Dakota
BY SHAWN SHROYER
shroyer@kansan.com
It wasn't pretty as Kansas got off to a 2-5 start. However, the Jayhawks now find themselves in prime position to reach 11-5 before Big 12 play begins.
But before Kansas (5-5) can worry about its series with No. 16 Texas, March 14 to 16, it has to get through its four-game series with North Dakota State (0-3) this weekend unscathed.
"We have to get it going on all cylinders," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "We've got to play good defense, we've got to pitch good and then we've got to have better at-bats each and every day of the weekend, so that when we get to Texas we'll be game-ready to play"
While most college baseball teams were playing since Feb. 22, North Dakota State didn't play its first game until Tuesday at Oklahoma, losing 15-3. The two schools played a doubleheader Wednesday, which went no better for the visitors. The Bison were run-ruled 13-0 the first game and dropped the midweek finale, 9-3.
Kansas is coming off a 13-2 victory against Le Moyne College Wednesday. The game was one of 15 road games the Dolphins will have played before their first home game, but that's nothing compared to the schedule facing the Bison of North Dakota State.
Outfielder Kole Zimmerman managed to bat .500 in the three games while catcher Gavin Hofer hit.750 in two starts, but the rest of the team combined to hit.118.

But even though there's been very little drop-off, if any, defensively with Price at catcher, coach Price would still like to have Afenir back in the lineup for what he provides offensively.

Mediocre Oklahoma downs Hawks
BY BRYAN WHEELER
BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM
When Kansas players walked off the court in Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla., Oklahoma State fans rushed the court in celebration of their 13-12 team beating the AP No.4 ranked team in the country 61-60. This was Kansas basketball at its lowest point this season.
Trying to rationalize Kansas losing its third game of the season, fans and the media alike even tried to compare the Jayhawks to last year's National Championship Florida team. After losing to Oklahoma State, Kansas went 4-2 in February. Last year's Florida team went 5-3 in February. Statistically, it could make sense. If the National Champions could have a rough month in February, then Kansas was just fine, right?
Bill Self didn't think so.
"It is like comparing apples and oranges because Florida had already won a national championship last year," Self said at his weekly press conference the Monday after the Oklahoma State game. "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."
Something happened, though from the

traveled to Lawrence Saturday and Kansas had Senior Night on Big Monday, Self felt a lot better about things.
Kansas beat Iowa State on the road and then traveled home to Allen Fieldhouse. Considering ESPN's "College GameDay"
Self went as far as telling ESPN's Andy Katz that Kansas' losses to Kansas State, Texas and Oklahoma State were all part of his team overcoming adversity.
"Every team that wins in March goes
through some sort of crap during the season." Self told Katz.
After witnessing Kansas State and Texas Tech's troubles against Kansas, it was clear that the "Pay Heed, All Who Enter: Beware of 'The Phog'" showed that Kansas was not to be reckoned with at home. After the Texas Tech game, coach Pat Knight expressed how he thought his team felt about playing in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I had guys that I honestly thought
Every player except for freshman guard Chase Buford scored points. Even though Buford didn't score, he managed a steal and a block in two minutes of play.
Trying to rationalize Kansas losing its third game of the season fans and the media alike even tried to compare the Jayhawks to last year's National Championship Florida team.
This is a team that has intimidated opponents. In the Texas Tech game, Self played all 16 players on his roster. The Big 12 co-player of the week, junior guard Brandon Rush, played just 10 minutes.

As the Jayhawks venture out of the "Phog," future success will come only if they can maintain the intensity they

had against Kansas State and Texas Tech. Kansas has worked through a few rough spots on the road in Big 12 play. The team has also overcome this adversity and dominated opponents at home. Now it is time to continue that.

Q: Who caught Brett Favre's first career NFL completion?
A: Brett Favre. On Sept. 13, 1992, Favre attempted to find a receiver down field but a Tampa Bay Buccaneer lineman deflected the pass and it landed in Favre's hands. It resulted in a 7-yard loss and was the first completion of 5,377 Favre would go on to throw.

fact of the day
Brett Favre threw an interception before he ever completed a pass. In November 1991, Favre, who then played for the Atlanta Falcons, threw a pass that was picked off by Washington Redskin linebacker Andre Collins. Collins returned it 15 yards for a touchdown and Favre and the Falcons went on to lose 56-17.

Brett Favre retires, goes out 'on top
BY CHRIS JENKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Sitting by himself on an airplane ride up to Green Bay on Thursday morning, Brett Favec struggled to find a sincere and graceful way to say he was finished with football.
In the end, his tears told the story.
Favre put his arm around his tearful wife, Deanna, and left the stage — presumably for good.
"It's been a great career for me, and it's over," Favre said, his voice cracking with emotion during a news conference at Lambeau Field two days
He takes with him a Super Bowl victory, virtually every quarterback record worth having and the widespread admiration of his peers and fans.
The 38-year-old Favre also
"I promised I wouldn't get emotional. I've watched hundreds of players retire and you wonder what that would be like."
PETER L. NICHOLSON
BRETT FAVRE Former Packers quarterback
after he announced his retirement. "As hard as that is for me to say, it's over."
Wearing an untucked collared shirt, blue jeans and several days' worth of stubble, Favre said he was convinced he could still play on Sundays, but had lost his passion to practice and prepare the way he would need to lead the Packers to another Super Bowl.
teaves with graying hair and a deliberate gait — signs that the years were quietly taking a toll on the man who was celebrated for playing a serious and precise game with the carefree joy of a little boy.
Given that fact, he could draw only one conclusion: It was time to hang up his helmet.
After a farewell news conference that lasted just over an hour,
"I have way too much pride," Favre said. "I expect a lot out of myself. And if I cannot do those things 100 percent, then I can't play."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre gets choked up as he talks about his retirement on Thursday during a news conference at Lambore Field in Green Bay, Ws.
"I promised I wouldn't get emotional," he said. But as the tears flowed, he added, "I've watched hundreds of players retire and you wonder what that would be like. You think you're prepared..."
He cried Thursday as he discussed his decision.
Fave is the NFLs only three-time MVP and leads the league with 442 touchdown passes, 61,655 yards passing and 160 career victories. He started 253 consecutive regular-season games, more than any other quarterback in history.
"I hope that with every penny they've spent on me, they know it was money well spent," he said. "It wasn't about the money or fame or records. I hear people talk about your accomplishments and things. It was never my accomplishments, it was our accomplishments."
Favre thanked the Green Bay Packers for letting him play.
a mark of 288 interceptions — an indication of the wild streak that only made him more human to the fans who adored him.
The same was true of Favre's highly publicized struggles with an addiction to prescription painkillers, his support of his wife through a battle with breast cancer, and a memorable Monday
night game against Oakland after he lost his father.
Favre also holds the more dubi-
ness of 200.
Favre's exit comes after a remarkable 2007 season, but his final pass was one to forget: An interception in overtime of the NFC championship game, a mistake that set up the New York Giants' field goal that sent the Packers home instead of to the Super Bowl.

MISSOURI VALLEY First-year Drake coach wins conference honor
DES MOINES, Iowa — First-year Drake basketball coach Keno Davis has been named the Missouri Valley Conference's Coach of the Year.
Davis received 38 of a possible 40 first-place votes to finish ahead of second-place finisher Tim Jankovich of Illinois State. Creighton's Dana Altman was third.
Davis led Drake to a 25-4 record in his first year after taking over coaching duties from his father, Tom Davis.
It was the first time since 1993 that a Drake basketball coach has been given the top coach honor.

Team heads into cold weather confident after on-road stint
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
The Kansas softball team has competed in tournaments in Florida, Nevada, Texas and Illinois. After compiling a 15-5 in these road
tournaments, the Jayhawks will open their home season with the Jayhawk Classic tournament.
The layhawks return from Carbondale, Ill. where they finished with a 3-1 record last weekend. They lost a close game to the eighth-ranked Northwestern Wildcats 2-0. The Jayhawks finished the tournament by shutting out Southern Illinois and exploding offensively on the final day by beating Western Illinois 8-6 and Bradley 10-2.
McCaulley
P
The Jayhawks face Western Illinois again this weekend, along with Indiana State and Pittsburgh.
"It's a nice balance of teams," coach Tracy Bunge said. She said each team brought something different to the competition. Bunge said Western Illinois had a good line-up, Indiana State had good pitching and Pittsburgh was a team that got off to a good start but had struggled lately.
Junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley said the team was very confident going into this weekend's games.

"There's no reason why we shouldn't go undefeated these next couple weekends. We feel like we can compete with any team out there right now," McGaulle said.
McCauley had a great weekend in Illinois batting .571 in the Southern Illinois Invitational and leads the team with a .403 season batting average.
The layhawks are finally receiving votes in the Top 25 polls, but McCaulley said that didn't really matter to her.
Bunge mirrored that statement
"The polls are nice to get some recognition, but that's basically all it is. It's recognition," Bunge said. Bunge said it was more important to make the post-season tournament, because the Jayhawks were ranked in the Top 25 at the end of the season and missed out on post-season play before.
Bunge said a strong factor in
making the College Softball World Series was winning the regional games the team played in the regular season. Indiana State and Western Illinois are both teams in the Jayhawks' region.
McCaulley said the team chemistry had grown a lot so far this year. She also shared Bunge's idea that the Jayhawks are very balanced and team-oriented.
"Every player plays a key role in every win that we have," McCaulley said.
Bunge said this week the team will try to improve offensively and will fight the cold weather for some practice time outside. The team will have to play in cold weather this weekend and Bunge said they would have to adjust.
Bunge said that she tried to start this season this time each year because it was the earliest time she thought the weather could work for a softball tournament.
"The hard part is always to get people to come here and play here in March," Bunge said.
The weather was the reason why the game times were rescheduled this weekend. The teams will try and avoid the cold weather as best as possible, but Western Illinois, Indiana State and Pittsburgh are all from cold areas so they should not be affected.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Tony Pena Jr. can't get a glove on a ball hit by Arizona diamondbacks' Eric Brynes during the fifth inning of a spring training baseball game in Surprise, Ariz. Thursday. The Royals defeated the Arizona diamondbacks 4-3.
Royals defeat Diamondbacks 4-3
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Ryan Shealy is making a case to break camp as Kansas City's starting first baseman — with his bat.
Shealy led off the bottom of the ninth with a home run Thursday to give the Royals a 4-3 win over
the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Dianne Brooks
Shealy began last season as the starter, but lost the job after a slow start and hamstring injuries. He is competing with Ross Gload and
"It was good to see" Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "Shealy's got some pop. He's got a big frame with long levers. His swing right

games this year. I was sick. I'm just glad to be out there."
Billy Butler for the spot.
Shealy, who missed a week with the flu, homered into the left-field bullpen on the first pitch from right-hander Jailen Peguero.
"Shealy's got some pop. He's got a big frame with long levers. His swing right now is pretty good."
Shealy, who has won two minor league home run titles, hit only three in 172 at-bats last year for the Royals.
"It's good just to be healthy and be able to play," Shealy said. "I didn't get to play at the end of last year. Then, soon as we started

now is pretty good."
Shealy also committed a
fielding error in the top of the first inning, but rookie Carlos Rosa struck out two Diamondbacks to prevent any damage.
The Diamondbacks jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second off Zack Greinke. Orlando Hudson drove in a pair of runs with two-out single after Chris Burke's first double scored Chris Snyder for Arizona's first run.
Diamondbacks starter Dan Haren threw three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out three.
"This time it wasn't really me pitching real bad," said Greinke, who gave up three runs on five hits and two walks in three innings. "They hit some pretty good pitches. I broke two bats."
After the victory, Hillman huddled his team around home plate to address base running. Gload was thrown out trying to steal third, and Butler was thrown out at second trying to tag up on fly out by Justin Huber.
"I was just talking about running the bases," Hillman said. "We had a couple of mistakes today, I'm not displeased. We won the game, but we've got to run the bases the right way all the time. We had a couple of mistakes, but I'm not going to go into them, and we could have been in a better position."

Team to play first home tournament
BY JOE PREINER
jpreiner@kansan.com
Three teams for the KU women's club volleyball program will play in the team's first home tournament of the semester Saturday. The team, comprised of many new players, looks to continue its productive season after playing well in its first two tournaments. The Jayhawks' third tournament is made up of Kansas A, B and C teams as well as five other teams from the Midwest.
The KU women's squads will go up against teams from Missouri, Kansas State, Iowa State and Missouri Sciences and Tech. The home tournament will be played at George F. Collins Jr. Gymnasium at Baker University. The arena is located at Sixth and Freemont streets in Baldwin City, a 10-minute drive from campus.
Emily Strusz, Republic, Mo., sophomore, has high hopes for the weekend's matches.
"We are expecting to do very well this tournament and place high," Strusz said. "Hopefully, with this being our home tournament
The women's club volleyball team has not won either of its previous two tournaments this year, which were both held out-of-state. The performance has not deterred or discouraged the team. Having only two players returning from last year's top team, the Jayhawks have found winning streaks hard to come by.
and all, we will be able to win the whole thing."
"This year started out a little rough," Strusz said. "But we have a lot of great new girls who have contributed a lot to the team."
This tournament will be the first time the entire squad is able to play together. The lack of gaps in the lineup helps the team be more competitive on the floor. The event, which marks the midway point of the team's season, also allows friends and family to see the team play close to home.
Team president Sara Schemmel, Shawnee senior, said the tournament day was split into two parts. The first part is round-robin pool play, which establishes the rankings for the elimination round later
Saturday afternoon. She also said team unity was an important factor if the team expected to win.
"This weekend will be all about team cohesiveness, playing to our level and enjoying ourselves," Schemmel said. "The biggest difference between a good and a great team is being able to play at your top level even when you aren't playing the most challenging teams. We tend to play to the level of our competition instead of our own, which hurts us in the end."
The tournament is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and end sometime after 5 p.m. The KU women's club team is confident about its abilities and players said they would continue to have good sportsmanship and attitudes no matter the result.
"We have a lot of young girls, lots of freshmen and sophomores, so even if this season isn't extremely successful it's a good season to build on," Strusz said. "This season has already been a lot of fun, so hopefully we can continue to play well and have fun while doing it."

Broncos sign Champ Bailey's brother
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Bailey brothers are teaming up in Denver.
The Broncos on Thursday signed free agent linebacker Boss Bailey, the younger brother of perennial Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey.
"I'm excited to have the chance to play with my brother, and I know that Boss' speed and versatility will have a great impact on our defense," Champ Bailey said. "I can't wait to get on the field with him."
Boss Bailey spent his first five seasons in Detroit, after being selected in the second round of the 2003 draft. He had a standout career at the University of Georgia, where he followed his older brother as an all-conference selection.
The 28-year-old linebacker has
Last season, he had a career-best 3 1/2 sacks and 47 tackles in 15 games.
appeared in 58 games, including 51 starts, and has made 258 tackles, seven sacks and two interceptions.
A phone message left for his agent, Jack Reale, was not immediately returned.
The Baileys will be the fourth pair of brothers to play for the Broncos, and will join Dave and Doug Widell (1990-92) and Eldon and William Danenhauer (1960) as the only brothers to play for the franchise at the same time.
Although coach Mike Shanahan has said the organization is shifting its emphasis from free agency to the draft to fill its many needs after missing the playoffs two straight years, the Broncos shored up their linebacker corps with experience this week.
They already had signed free agent Niko Koutouvides, who will get a chance to start at middle linebacker, and waived Ian Gold, who spent seven seasons in Denver sandwiched around a season in Tampa Bay in 2004.
Boss Bailey will play strong side linebacker in Denver, and D.J. Williams will move back to the weak side after a year in the middle.
Shepherd is a fifth-year player who's spent time on the rosters of Detroit, Houston (2006), Tampa Bay (2003-06) and Chicago (2002-03). He has 13 catches for 163 yards and one touchdown in 25 career regular season games.
The Broncos also signed free agent receiver Edell Shepherd on Thursday. He spent the 2007 season out of the NFL after the Detroit Lions released him in late August.

Tennessee dominates play in SEC
Since Tennessee defeated Memphis and moved to No.1 for the first time in school history, the Volunteers played three straight three-point games.
They lost 72-69 to Vanderbilt in their first game as a top-ranked team early last week and then beat Kentucky 63-60 on Sunday.
After dropping to fourth in the rankings, Tennessee had another close one Wednesday night, defeating Florida 89-86 to set a school record with its 27th victory and clinch its first Southeastern Conference regular-season title since 1967.
"I hope everyone back home is celebrating. You have to respect the competition to appreciate how difficult it was for us to do this on a night Florida played great basketball."
"You hate to equate it to what's bigger, but it's clearly one of the biggest wins of the last three years," Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said. "To win it outright against the competition we're facing is special.
Jajuan Smith scored 23 points and Chris Llootton added 21 for the
"Those two guys, they do it every single game," Gators coach Billy Donovan said. "It's a special and unique quality that they have to really be able to make extremely difficult shots and I thought that was the difference in the game in the second half."
In other games involving ranked teams on Wednesday, it was: No. 2 Memphis 72, SMU 55; No. 6 Duke 86, Virginia 70; No. 10 Wisconsin 77, Penn State 41; No. 16 Vanderbilt 86, Mississippi State 85 in overtime; No. 18 Indiana 69, Minnesota 55; and No. 19 Notre Dame 68, St. John's 55.
The Gators (21-9, 8-7) made their first nine shots, were ahead
But Tennessee turned to Smith and Lofton down the stretch, and they delivered. The duo combined to shoot 15-of-26 from the field, including 8-of-15 from three-point range.

Sophomore left-hander Shaerffer Hall (1-0), who pitched last Saturday, is slated to pitch game one today at 3 p.m. Junior left-hander Nick Czyz (0-2), who pitched Feb. 29, will pitch the first game of Saturday's doubleheader at noon.

For the second game of the double-header, senior right-hander Andres Esquibel (0-0) returns to the rotation for the extended series. After starting in Kansas' fourth game of the season, Esquibel's last two appearances have been out of the bullpen.
"He's the only guy on our team that we can use as a starter and as a reliever." Price said. "You can set him up, you can close him and you can pitch him multiple innings. He's the most valuable guy on our staff."
Sophomore second baseman Roby Price drops the ball after completing a forced out on second Wednesday afternoon against the Le Moyne dolphins at Houndball Park.
Once again, coach Price will have junior left-hander Sam Freeman (2-0) anchor his weekend rotation Sunday at 1 p.m. In two starts, Freeman is unbeaten with a 4.09 ERA and seven strikeouts to two walks.
Now that the Jayhawks are back to .500, their goal is to carry that momentum with them through the weekend and see where it takes them
with the Longhorns looming in the distance.

COMMENTARY
Ten reasons to watch Jayhawks
BY TYLER PASSMORE
TPASSMORE@KANSAN.COM
The Kansas Jayhawks' fourgame series against North Dakota State starts today. For those students who do not have their plans set in stone this weekend, I would like to steal an idea from David Letterman and give you 10 reasons why you should attend this weekend's series.
10. ) It's more entertaining than Facebook.
For those students who think that Facebook is the only forum for midday entertainment, look no further than Hoglund Ballpark. The Jayhawks put up 13 runs in their first home game, featuring a grand slam and two players chasing the cycle. The first pitch today is at 3 p.m. and that is the perfect time of day to ditch Facebook stalking and support your Jayhawks.
9. ) The weather is warming up.
This weekend's forecast predicts warmer temperatures. While it may not be shorts weather yet, it is still better than 35 degrees. If you can't decide whether to bring a jacket or not, consider red shirt junior center fielder Nick Faunce's .448 batting average and how the Hawks' have been on fire from behind the plate. This should easily warm-up the Javhawk faithful.
The first to let you know when
Teahan makes it in the game.
Live sports updates during every Kansas basketball game.
KANSAN COM
8. ) Everybody loves a winner.
The Jayhawks are on a three-game winning streak and are undefeated at home this year. Even people who aren't baseball fans enjoy watching a victory.
7. ) It is an exciting way to pass time until the basketball game on Saturday.
What is better than one Jayhawk victory? Four Jayhawk victories. The North Dakota State Bison enter this weekend's series with a 0-3 record. The Bison have been outscored 37-6 this year, so there should be a lot of action and fireworks on the Jayhawks side of the scoreboard. Saturday will be a doubleheader, so wake up and have lunch at the ball-park.
6. ) It's cheap.
If you are looking to pass the time, the free student admission and cheap food deals are one of the best options in town. While you're there enjoying the finer dining of hot dogs and nachos, you may want to pay attention to freshman third basemen Tony Thompson. Thompson is hitting .294 with men on base and .300 with two outs.
5.) It's a family affair.
If you are a family person, the
Kansas Jayhawk baseball team and yourself have something in common. The Jayhawks' coach, Ritch Price, is the father of senior right fielder and catcher Ryne Price and sophomore second basemen Robby Price. Both of the Price brothers start and Ryne had a grand slam and triple in the Jayhawks home opener.
4. ) You can learn dance moves from White Owl.
The Jayhawks have been generous in giving their fans something to cheer about in last three games. The 13 runs on the Wednesday's scoreboard gave White Owl 13 reasons to dance. So, if you are looking to learn a few new moves to impress that special someone, come watch the Jayhawks score runs and learn some new snazzy dance steps.
3. ) Time is running out.
Other than the Jayhawks' series against North Dakota State this weekend there will only be one other game, against Tabor on Tuesday, before spring break. The Jayhawks look to continue their winning streak, so make sure you are on the bandwagon before you travel to your spring break destination.
2. ) Get your face on the big screen.
For those people looking for a few seconds of fame, come check out Hoglund Ballpark's improved scoreboard and try to get caught cheering for the boys in crimson and blue. If it's intense replays you're into or the $^{7th}$ inning stretch hat game, the improved scoreboard is a reason to get excited.
1. ) Keep the undefeated streak alive.
The Jayhawks won their home opener this year, which means they are undefeated at home. Come out Friday at 3 p.m. and cheer loud as the Jayhawks try to keep their winning streak and remain undefeated at home. The Kansas baseball team is on the rise and fan support may help the Jayhawks to another victory.

Golfer charged with killing hawk
BY TRAVIS REED ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — PGA Tour player Tripp Isenhour was charged with killing a hawk on purpose with a golf shot because it was making noise as he videotaped a TV show.
Isenhour was with a film crew for "Shoot Like A Pro" on Dec. 12 at the Grand Cypress Golf course. The 39-year-old player, whose real name is John Henry Isenhour III, was charged Wednesday with cruelty to animals and killing a migratory bird.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of 14 months in jail and $1,500 in fines.
Isenhour apologized in a statement and said he was only trying to scare the hawk away.
According to court documents, Isenhour got upset when a red-shouldered hawk began making noise, forcing another take. He began hitting balls at the bird, then 300 yards away, but gave up. Isenhour started again when the hawk moved within about 75 yards, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer Brian Baine indicated in a report.
Isenhour allegedly said "I'll get him now" and aimed for the hawk.
"About the sixth ball came very near the bird's head, and (Isenhour) was very excited that it was so close," Baine wrote.
a few shots later, witnesses said he hit the hawk. The bird, protected as a migratory species, fell to the ground bleeding from both nostrils.
"As soon as this happened, I was mortified and extremely upset and continue to be upset," Isenhour said in a statement issued through his management company, SFX Golf. "I want to let everyone know there was neither any malice nor deliberate intent whatsoever to hit or harm the hawk. I was trying to simply scare it into flying away"
Isenhour said his family has adopted three cats from a local shelter.
"I am an animal lover," he said. "We ask that everyone accept my sincerest apology, and please be respectful of my family's privacy."
Isenhour has spent two full years on the PGA Tour, both times failing to keep his card. He has won four times on the Nationwide Tour, including twice in 2006.
"He just kept saying how he didn't think he could have hit it, which I think is a stupid thing for a PGA Tour golfer to say," said lethro Senger, a sound engineer at the shoot. "He can put a ball in a hole from hundreds of yards away, and here he is hitting line drives at something that's, I don't know, a couple hundred feet away?"
TAYLOR
Senger said it was "basically like a joke to (Isenhour)." He said no one in the roughly 15-person crew intervened, and many later regretted it.
"It was one of those cases where there's some trepidation on whether or not they should speak up and do something," Senger said.
Senger said the killing was not captured on video. The bird was buried at the golf course and later dug up by Florida investigators.
Tripi lenshou was charged in Orlando with killing a protected migratory hawk with a golf shot during the third round of the Nationwide Tournament in Panama City, Panama, on Jan. 28, 2006. It occurred when lenshou was filming a video segment for the television show "Shoot Like A Pro."

PODS championship begins in the rain
PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Bart Bryant got his bad shots out of the way early and birdied his last two holes Thursday for a 6-under 65, giving him a one-shot lead among early starters who were lucky to beat the rain in the PODS Championship.
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
on the 16th.
Bryant was thrilled to twice escape with pars through six holes, and he wasn't paying that much attention to his card until he realized he was 4 under. Then came birdies on two of the toughest holes at Innisbrook, including a 15-foot putt on the 18th, and he found himself atop the leaderboard.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Perhaps it is not surprising that so many guys in their 40s — Bryant, Maggert, Perry, Tom Pernice Jr.
— were atop the leaderboard. This is a course that requires more brain than brawn, and experience tends to come in handy.
two months off during the summer. When he returned, his right elbow was acting up again, and he couldn't practice the last three months of the season.
Kelly was 3 under through 11 holes.
"I had a lot of confidence after Match Play," Cink said. "Even losing the last match, I was happy to be in the last match."
Houston Rockets' Tracy McGrady shoots for three points against the Indiana Pacers during the first half of a basketball game Wednesday in Houston. McGrady scored 25 points in the Rockets 117-99 victory.

Carl Pettersson, who won at Innisbrook in 2005, and Jonathan Byrd were among those at 67. Jerry Kelly was 4 under through four holes when play was stopped by the storms. When play resumed he missed a good chance at a fifth straight birdie, then dropped a shot
Bryant said his right hip was in such bad shape that he took
"I felt like I got my bad stuff out of the way and I was still even par," Bryant said. "I think that gave me a little confidence."
Rockets win 16 in a row
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ernie Els, coming off a victory in the Honda Classic that ended an 0-for-47 drought on the PGA Tour, was part of the afternoon wave that did not finish the first round because of a $2\frac{1}{2}$-hour storm delay.
With Yao Ming gone for the season after injuring his foot, the Houston Rockets keep on rolling. They set a franchise record with their 16th consecutive win Wednesday night, routing Indiana 117-99. The Rockets are 4-0 since the All-Star center was sidelined.
"It's all about confidence," said Tracy McGrady, who scored 25 points. "We have great chemistry and guys know their roles here. We all are playing so well, we just can't
really count on one guy."
Els made two straight bogeys when he returned to the course, and finished his day with a birdie at No. 11 to return to even par.
John Daly, another player without a card but no shortage of exemptions, was 3 over through 10 holes and still got the biggest buzz. After ducking into a Hooters hospitality tent during the rain delay, he emerged with Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden as his caddie for the rest of the afternoon. It didn't help much, as Daly three-putted from the front of the 18th green for another bogey.
Two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, who has not had full status on the PGA Tour since 2006, made good use of his sponsor's exemption with five birds that left him one stroke behind with three holes remaining.

Kenny Perry hobbled around on a hip that felt like it was shooting volts down his leg, but he managed seven birds in a round of 66, tied with Jeff Maggert and Stewart Cink.
Cink was playing for the first time since losing to Tiger Woods at the Accenture Match Play Championship, and while he suffered the worst beating in the 10-year history of the final match (8 and 7), he figured this was a continuation of good play.
At Houston, the Rockets have won 20 of their last 21.
Rain earlier in the week took some of the bite out of the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook, regarded as one of the toughest tour tracks in Florida, and rarely has it played this easy.
The first round was scheduled to resume at 7:30 a.m. Friday. It was the first time rain has halted play on the PGA Tour this year.

KU TIPOFF
SOUTHBOUND FOR VICTORY
Jayhawks hope to defeat Aggies in final season game
ATAGLANCE
Saturday's game is a big one. Kansas hasn't won a tough road game since it topped USC in December. It's not easy to win at Iowa State, but the Cyclones are one of the worst teams in the Big 12. The Jayhawks need a road victory against a team in the top half of the conference, and this is their last opportunity. Kansas needs to defeat Texas A&M to prove it can play with the same energy and polish as it does at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks need this because, come tournament time, the games are never played at home. Kansas clinches a share of the league title with a victory Saturday, making the game even more important.

the outside. In road losses to Texas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks lacked an edge. Chalmers usually brings that, but he can't if he's not shooting the ball well. On Saturday, look for Chalmers to score often and lead the team if it's close at the end.

Does anyone really care about a Big 12 title?
QUESTION MARK
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF
GAME
DAY
Kansas coach Bill Self will talk about how important it is to win the league and how its such an honor for his team because of the difficulty of the conference. But really, does it matter? Two weeks ago, Russell Robinson said he was more worried about the NCAA Tournament, and he's right. Fans don't care about the Big 12 title this season. It's nice, but they know this team has so much talent and experience that not making the Final Four would be a disappointment. If Kansas wins Saturday, Jayhawk nation will be more excited that its team got a road victory, which would bode well for playing at neutral site in the NCAA Tournament, than a share of the Big 12 title.

"I don't know why it's changed but our attitude seems to be glass is half full instead of half empty. We just went through a funk. It's a long season. Thirty games into it, you'd think everybody's going to hit a few bumps. We just happened to do it at not the most opportune time."

Kansas loses. If the Jayhawks fall at Texas A&M, they won't have a single conference road victory they can be proud of. Kansas got outplayed by Kansas State and Texas, and just stunk up the place at Oklahoma State. Solid road victories are an indicator of successful NCAA tournament teams. Kansas needs to win against A&M, a team that's not that great at home, to boost its confidence before the postseason.
A&M
TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Texas A&M was an enigma during Mark Turgeon's first season as head coach. The Aggies started the season 15-1, but fell apart during the Big 12 Conference season. Last week was a perfect example of Texas A&M's inconsistency. The Aggies defeated Texas Tech 98-54 on Feb. 27, but followed that up with a 64-37 loss at Oklahoma. Mark Turgeon's team helped its NCAA tournament resume with a road victory at Baylor on Wednesday, but if Texas A&M falls to Kansas on Saturday, they need at least one victory in the Big 12 tournament to assure themselves of a spot in the Big Dance.
WHO TO WATCH
Mark Turgeon, Texas A&M coach
Former Jayhawk Mark Turgeon is in his first season in Col-
Texas, after taking over for former Aggie coach Billy Gillispie, who left for Kentucky. "Turg," as he's
Turgeon
known to folks around here, played point guard at Kansas from 1984-87, and helped the Jayhawks to the 1986 Final Four. Turgeon was a graduate assistant on Kansas' 1988 National Championship team. His first season at Texas A&M has produced mixed results. The Aggies started 15-1, but are 7-7 in their last 14 games.
QUESTION MARK
Will Texas A&M make the NCAA tournament?
Texas A&M's NCAA tournament future could be dicey with a loss to Kansas on Saturday. Here's a look at the Aggies resume: they have 22 victories, and defeated Texas in College Station. But if they lose to Kansas, they will finish the season with two victories in their last seven games. A victory on Saturday puts Texas A&M into the NCAA tournament for sure, but the Aggies can probably also sneak in with a loss on Saturday and a victory in the opening round of the Big XII tournament.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"Most teams, when you play good, make shots. They've gone through stretches. Josh Carter was the best three-point shooter in the country last year, this year he's not shooting quite as good. We know he can shoot the ball well. They've got the guys, but when you make shots, everything looks a lot better. It's the same for us."

Proposal may eliminate several bus stops in fall
Parking and Transit considers altering routes
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
bhamber13.com
fchambers@kansan.com
More than 15 students showed up Thursday night to express grievances about the Parking and Transit Commission's proposal to eliminate some bus stops from next school year's route.
May Davis, Clay Center sophomore and transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said decreasing the number of buses and eliminating stops from routes was an inconvenience to some students, but it was the only way to keep student fees down.
The routes affected by the proposal would be: 31st and Iowa, 24th and Ridgecourt, Naismith and Oliver, Second and Michigan and Night Campus Express routes. It also proposed to add a second bus to the Sixth and Crestline route. By changing the routes, the commission would eliminate the use of one bus overall, which would save KU on Wheels about $80,000 a year.
"We have to look at what we're doing here and if we are offering a limo service or a bus system to take them from their door to Wescoe," Davis said.
The commission has proposed that one 31st and Iowa bus travel only from The Reserve to Park and Ride instead. Students on the 31st and Iowa bus would then take the Park and Ride bus to campus.
Two buses currently travel this route, which begins at GSP-Corbin Hall and heads to the Campus Court at Naismith apartment complex and The Reserve before returning to GSP.
PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE 31ST AND IOWA ROUTE
Davis said it currently took students who lived at The Reserve 30 minutes to reach campus; the new route would also take 30 minutes.
Margretta de Vries, secretary to the Parking and Transit Commission, said two more buses would be added to the Park and Ride system to accommodate the influx of students. Stephanie Patyk, Wichita junior, resident at Campus Court at Naismith, said if she lived at The Reserve, instead of buying a bus pass, she would just buy a parking pass and park on campus next year.
However, the Park and Ride bus does not travel to the Kansas Union. Students who bought a pass for the Park and Ride lot instead of a bus pass would have to walk to the Kansas Union from Bailey or pay $1 to ride there on a different bus.
Austin Kelly, Lawrence senior and student body treasurer, said he did not think the route change would be effective. He said students who lived at The Reserve might as well park in the Park and Ride lot because that would cost less than riding the bus.
Currently Park and Ride passes cost $205 and includes a bus pass. Year-round bus passes cost $140. The commission has proposed that next year Park and Ride passes would cost $100 but would not include a bus pass.
This route currently has two buses. The route begins at the Kansas Union, runs through campus to the Campus Court at Naismith apartment complex. Then, it heads southwest to Holcom Park Recreation Center, where it turns around and returns to campus. After it reaches the Kansas Union, the bus loops downtown to New Jersey Street and Indiana Street before it heads back to the Kansas Union.

Trash gathers around Potter Lake on Sunday. The lake was declared polluted by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Connect has created a task force to lead a clean-up effort of the lake.
Connect proposes to improve Potter Lake
Coalition creates task force to focus on water quality, landscape

Cleaning up Potter Lake is Connect's third initiative for Student Senate elections in April.
England Porter, Independence junior, said Potter Lake was a focal point of the University of Kansas and has been getting water and fertilizer run-off from the campus for years.

She said the group hadn't talked to University officials yet because the task force was in its initial stages.
Porter said the task force would first look at what students valued about the lake and what they wanted to fix. She said the group would then look at sustainable landscaping around the lake.

supported the initiative and help with the task force if Connect needed it.
Austin Kelly, Lawrence senior and Connect presidential candidate, said one of Connect's goals was renewal, and fixing Potter Lake was just that.
"The lake has been too low a priority for
too long," Kelly said.
Kelly, who currently serves as student body treasurer, said that in the 1950s, Potter Lake was a gathering spot for students. He said Connect wanted to make the lake a gathering spot again and make it the best it could be.
Students interested in joining the task force can visit Connect's table on Wescoe Beach or join the Facebook group "The Potter's Lake Project."

Meet your Student Senator with Janiece Richard, Student Athletic Advisory
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
jbaker@kansan.com
Janiece Richard is new to Student Senate this school year but is already active as the Student Athletic Advisory Committee senator. Richard is a graduate student from Grandview, Mo., majoring in sports studies.
M. A.
The Student Athletic Advisory Committee includes student athlete representatives from all 16 University of Kansas sports teams.
"The purpose of the SAAC is to provide student athletes the opportunity to communicate more effectively with University of Kansas athletic administration, coaches and staff." Richard said.
"It enables student athletes to provide recommendations for the improvement of academic, athletic and social experiences," she said. "The committee encourages unity, common purpose and camaraderie between teams and among all student athletes."
Richard has been involved with the group for two years and said that they also encouraged community involvement through service projects and fundraisers.
"I would challenge Senate to be more inclusive. I'd challenge those involved with recruitment to help create a more diverse campus, and I'd challenge students to be more involved." Richard said. She is interested in diversity among students as much as with her favorite music artists: Ginuwine, J. Holiday, John Mayer and Justin Timberlake.
Richard said that when she graduated, she would like to work in sports, whether it was on a track and field team or in an athletics department. Richard was a member of the track and field team at the University. She ran in the 600-yard dash and the 400-meter hurdles.
"I have run track since I was in middle school, and because of this, I have traveled across the nation to compete at meets, everywhere from Virginia to Ohio to Florida," she said.
Richard said that her most memorable moment was qualifying for the Outdoor NCAA Track and Field Championships her senior year for the 400-meter hurdles. After she completed her undergraduate studies in December 2006, she became
a volunteer assistant coach for the University track and field team.
Richard said that her favorite place to visit was anywhere in Florida near the beach.
"It's just so relaxing and serene, and when you're on the beach reading a good book, it's like nothing else matters but the here and now," she said. Richard also would like to travel to Canada, just to say she's been out of the country.
She said some of her favorite movies were "Love and Basketball," "Jason's Lyric," "The Notebook" and "Something New"
Richard said she tried to fulfill a quote by the late Leo Buscaglia, a professor at the University of Southern California, every day:
Some of Richard's favorite TV shows are "Pardon the Interruption," "Around The Horn," "The Office," "The Bad Girls Club" and "Lost."
"The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what others want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position."

ODD NEWS Men encouraged to get vasectomy to have more time watching television
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — For guys who park in front of the TV during college basketball's March Madness, the Oregon Urology Institute has a suggestion: Why not use that time to recover from a vasectomy?
"When March Madness approaches you need an excuse ... to stay at home in front of the big screen," the clinic's radio ad said. "Get your vasectomy at Oregon Urology Institute the day before the tournament starts. It's snip city."

》 ROCK CHALK REVUE
Greek community performs in variety show
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE
csommerville@kansan.com
Beth Benedict stars as Natalie Nova, the daughter of a husband and wife science team, during Saturday night's showing of "Flight of the Starquest" as part of Rock Chalk Revue. Natalie Nova was duped into sabotaging a critical component of the space shuttle and caused immediate peril for everyone on board. The skit was performed by Delta Delta Delta and Theta Chi.
Rock Chalk Revue took place March 6,7 and 8. Ten fraternities and sororites participated in the variety show. Rock Chalk Revue officials estimated that around $40,000 from the proceeds will be donated to United Way of Douglas County.
Chi Omega and Beta Theta Pi won the "Best Show" award for their performance of "Tune Town."
"Better Left Unsaid," the Revue's theme, featured four other performances. Phi Kappa Psi and Kappa Kappa Gamma performed "A Write To Love," Theta Chi and Delta Delta Delta performed "Flight of the Starquest," Delta Upsilon and Pi Beta Phi performed "Singin' in the City," and Pi Kappa Phi and Alpha Gamma Delta performed "Snowed Im."
Rock Chalk Revue started in 1949 after creator and business student Roy Wonder came up with the idea. The proceeds from the first show, which 500 people attended, were donated to the YMCA and YWCA.
Marla Keown/KANSAN
United Way became the official beneficiary of Rock Chalk Revue in 1983. In 2001 and 2002, the show donated $50,000 to the charity.

ELECTION
Obama outperforms Clinton in caucuses, wins in Wyoming
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CASPER, Wyo. — Sen. Barack Obama captured the Wyoming Democratic caucuses Saturday, seizing a bit of momentum in the close, hard-fought race with rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for the party's presidential nomination.
Obama generally has outperformed Clinton in caucuses, which reward organization and voter passion more than primaries do. The Illinois senator has now won 13 caucuses to Clinton's three.
Obama has also shown strength in the Mountain West, winning Idaho, Utah, Colorado and now Wyoming. The two split Nevada, with Clinton winning the popular vote and Obama more delegates.
But Clinton threw some effort into Wyoming, perhaps hoping for an upset that would yield few delegates but considerable buzz and momentum. The New York senator campaigned Friday in Cheyenne and Casper. Former President Clinton
Obama campaigned in Casper and Laramie on Friday, but spent part of his time dealing with the fallout from an aide's harsh words about Clinton and suggestions that Obama wouldn't move as quickly to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq if elected. In Casper, Obama said Clinton had no standing to challenge his position on the war because she had voted to authorize it in 2002.
and their daughter, Chelsea, also campaigned this week in the sprawling and lightly populated state.
Clinton, buoyed by big wins in Ohio and Texas last Tuesday, said she faced an uphill fight in Wyoming. Her campaign also holds out little hope for Tuesday's primary in Mississippi, which has a large black population.
Obama had 61 percent, or 5,378 votes, to Clinton's 38 percent, or 3,312 votes, with all 23 Wyoming counties reporting.
Obama won seven delegates and Clinton won five. In the overall race for the nomination, Obama led
1,578-1,468, according to the latest tally by The Associated Press. It will take 2,025 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said the Wyoming victory speaks to the candidate's strength in the West, and that Obama is better suited to help down-ticket Democrats even in states that traditionally vote Republican in the general election.
ROOMMATE
more states in play because of his strength with independent voters," Plouffe said.

"We are thrilled with this near-split in delegates and are grateful to the people of Wyoming for their support," said campaign manager Maggie Williams. Both candidates were looking ahead to the bigger prize — delegate-rich Pennsylvania on April 22.

“Should I have knocked?”
Max Rinkel
COMMENTARY
Before expelling standardized tests, arguments need to be bubbled in
JORDAN WILLIAMS
It seems that after decades of predicating students' futures upon performance and aptitude testing, public school teachers may get their turn.
Brewing in Congress is a measure to amend No Child Left Behind to include performance testing to ascertain whether teachers should receive increases in pay. To help myself wade through this delicacy of an issue, I bought a recent issue of Time that explains this subject
with finesse.
This issue is worthy of debate for high school and college aged students. First, the underlying idea that students have to jump through educational hoops from the ages of 12 through 18 to be deemed "valuable" is made clear. In other words, states constantly evaluate and test pupils with standardized weights, measures and formulas to determine if one is superior, normal or inferior in conjunction with government benchmarks.
These tests ignore what many critics cite as pivotal to student success in high school: Teachers are often omitted as contributing factors to students' successes or lack thereof. Often, teachers en masse like to lay blame on lackluster parents, socioeconomics, senseless bureaucracy and student apathy as reasons for high dropout rates or low college
acceptance rates.
I agree with those parameters as catalysts for failure as well. However, when did it become acceptable for a special interest (read: teachers' unions) to dictate the debate by completely removing any accountability from themselves?
I realize that the entire presuposition of special interest is to argue for the betterment and protection of itself, but I smell something disgenuous here.
Maybe performance testing or measuring would not lead to Armageddon, as some outraged union members would like Congress to believe. Consider this fine institution, the University of Kansas for example. I don't know all the intricate details, but professors, GTAs and TAs undergo a process where feedback is at least possible. Comments can be made regarding the effectiveness of a professor's tests or a course coordinator's tact in arranging a coherent class. Furthermore, if the University were to notice that the Humanities and Western Civilization department and its professors were going way off track, it would act quickly to help correct that situation.
By now, I've come to the conclusion that the secondary public school system remains worlds apart from the post-secondary public school. Yet, I feel I should carry caution with so potent a pronouncement. I support teachers.
After all, it was they who taught me the difference between who and whom, what defines a noble gas and how to prove an equation. In concert with my loving mother, a good majority of my public school teachers and aides inspired me and probably helped mold me into the
college student that I am today.
There remains an idea that still vexes me.
Should I consider my good fortune simply as luck? What about myriad students not so blessed by Lady Fortune to pass by competent and caring teachers?
Therein lies the danger of this debate. It appears rather impossible to overhaul a system that is wrought with so many variables (disproportionate class size, poor salary, student behavior) that lend to teacher attrition.
As for the college kids, the problematic testing days are over, save for the LSAT, GRE and MCAT.
Well, wait a minute, maybe the educational hoops just become so big that they no longer can be seen.

COMMENTARY
Party does not recognize Republican principles
BRANDON T. MINSTER
BRANDONT. MINSTER
The Republican nomination for president was decided last Tuesday, too early to be swayed by Fridays Wall Street Journal opinion page. A former presidential candidate wrote an opinion piece that rang of individualism and freedom, which made a clear call for trusting average Americans with their own liberty. The article was more conservative than many campaign pronouncements from this year's Republican candidates. In the fight for the mantle of Ronald Reagan, the winner
was definitely the writer of Friday's article. George McGovern.
Yes, the George McGovern who back in 1968 was too crazy of a liberal for most of the Democratic Party, who managed to win the party's nomination in 1972 and lead them to a beating so vicious even rented mules couldn't watch without cringing. He probably won the vote of every one of today's aging hippie KU professors and virtually no votes beyond that. It turns out he is a more principled conservative than any member of the Republican congressional leadership. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
McGovern wrote last week of "economic paternalism," specifically in terms of proposed subprime mortgage legislation, health insurance requirements and payday lending restrictions. All of these proposals have support from various Republicans. McGovern, meanwhile, seems to have seen the light. "I've come to realize that protecting freedom of choice in our everyday lives is essential to maintaining a healthy civil society." Wher George McGovern is on your political right, you've got to start worrying about falling off the left-hand edge of the world.
The truth is that Republicans don't worry about the size of government anymore. In 1998 when Trent Lott gave the Republican response to Bill Clinton's State of the Union address, he said Clinton's proposed $1.7 trillion budget was evidence that government had become too fat. Eight years later in defense of a pro-
How could the man who was categorized as being for "amnesty, abortion and legalization of pot" by his own vice-presidential nominee out-Reagan the Party of Reagan?
possed $2.8 trillion budget, Lott said there was no more fat left to cut.
The trend has accelerated. Faced with devastating hordes of retiring old people, President Bush has made no change to Social Security and has created a massive prescription drug entitlement. Faced with freespeaking and bribe-offering citizens, John McCain spearheaded campaign speech restrictions to the envy of third world dictators everywhere.
Republicans used to think government should allow citizens to be responsible for themselves. And that might be fine for a theoretical government, but when you've got to get votes, the highways and community centers you brought to your district win more votes than the highways and community centers you turned down.
government is giving out vouchers for television converter boxes, voters are going to make sure they get ten vouchers each.
Voters may pay lip service to personal responsibility, but when the
Now it's fallen to George McGovern to call Republicans to their senses? Pundits wonder if the Republican base will abandon John McCain in November, but the fact is the Republican Party has already abandoned its base. Left with nowhere to go for principled conservatism, Republicans are finding McCain to be the less-palatable of the remaining options. The plotting moderatism of Hillary Clinton, or even the principled liberalism of Barack Obama, is easier to stomach than the plate of dog crap the Republican Party is offering under the billing "Your Favorite Meal."

8A NEWS
THE UNIVERSITY HAILY KANSAN
MONDAY. MARCH 10. 2008
KU ON WHEELS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
currently the Naismith and Oliver Bus route. It would begin at GSP and run through campus to Oliver Hall. Then it would travel to the Campus Court at Naismith complex, before returning to GSP.
This route would be unlike the current Naismith and Oliver route, which turns around at 21st and Oushdahl Road instead and then returns to GSP. It would also cut out the downtown section of 24th and Ridgecourt's route. The Second and Michigan bus would travel downtown instead.
Margaret Mahoney, Colorado Springs law student, said she knew a lot of students and community members who rode the 24th and Ridgecourt bus downtown. She said changing the route would inconvenience them because they would have to pay another $1 to ride the Second and Michigan bus downtown if they did not have a pass.
Davis disagreed. She said transfer slips are available on the University's buses and students could transfer from one bus to another after paying the initial $1.
2ND AND MICHIGAN
This route currently has two buses and would continue to have two buses. The route travels from McCollum Hall to the Kansas Union, and stops at Hawks Pointe 1 and Highpointe Apartments. It then takes Sixth Street east to Michigan Street and travels north to Northwinds Apartments before returning to McCollum.
Next year, this route would begin at the Kansas Union and travel the downtown part of what used to be the 24th and Ridgecourt route before heading north on Kentucky Street and west on Sixth Street. It would then take Michigan Street north and turn around on Second Street, cutting Northwinds apartments out of its route. From Second Street, it would travel its old route back to campus until it reached Ninth Street. From there it would take Emery road to West Campus Road and proceed through campus back to the Kansas Union.
Emily Minion, Overland Park junior who lives at Northwinds Apartments, said she did not think students who lived at Hawks Pointe
1 and Highpointe Apartments would be happy with the route change. She said because the Second and Michigan bus would travel downtown, it could take students who lived at those complexes an hour to get home.
Davis said she thought getting students to class quickly was more important than getting them home quickly.
Jane Turner, Lawrence sophomore, who lives on the Second and Michigan route, said getting home in a timely matter is important to students who had jobs. She said she would rather miss a class or be late to class than to be late to work.
Minion said that if Northwinds Apartments were cut out of the new route she would have to walk about three blocks to the new stop. She said it would take the bus five extra minutes to stop at the apartments.
Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said he understood students' concerns, but that the commission had to eliminate stops that had low ridership.
"If you would chose to live at an apartment complex or a house
where there is no bus, you might have to make a tough decision to move to an area where a bus route might be more dependable," Quisenberry said.
Mahoney said she knew that the route changes would save the University money and that she would be tempted to not ride the bus if the proposed changes took effect.
"I'm not going to go spend $1,000 to move because you guys are going to change the route," Mahoney said.
NIGHT CAMPUS EXPRESS
The Night Campus Express route would no longer travel down Engel Road. In addition, it would no longer take Naismith Road directly to Campus Court at Naismith. The bus would no longer stop at the Student Recreation Fitness Center or Daisy Hill.
Davis said the commission did not want to get rid of the Night Campus Express bus even though it had low ridership because of safety concerns for students who take night classes.

Davis said the Park and Ride bus would stop on Daisy Hill at the Lawrence Transit bus stop between Hashinger and Ellsworth Halls at night in place of the Night Campus Express.

Seniors seal a four-year deal

Senior forward Darnell Jackson hugs sophomore forward Darrell Arthur during the final seconds of the game.
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - With 33 seconds left in Kansas' 72-55 victory against Texas A&M, Bill Self could finally relax. Kansas' coach marched down the sideline, and high-fived each player along the way. As Self passed senior Darnell Jackson, the senior forward held up four fingers. Jackson's four-fingered salute translated to mission accomplished. Self and his seniors can call themselves Big 12 conference champions for the fourth consecutive year.
"I think you develop your identity away from home." Self said after Kansas improved its Big 12 road record to 5-3. "This was probably the most complete road game we've played."
Complete might have been just the right word. If the Jayhawks had made a to-do list before Saturday's game, they probably could have checked off nearly every item on the list.
1. Play through their big guys. Check. Sophomore Darrell Arthur scored 16 points, which helped Kansas to 44 points in the paint.
2. Pressure Texas A&M's guards. Check, Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins spent most of Saturday harassing the Aggies backcourt, forcing 15 turnovers and finishing with 13 steals.
"That's who we are," Self said. "Our guards need to be able to get after other people."
3. Be balanced on offense. Check, Kansas had at least five guys in double-figures for the second consecutive game, including junior Mario Chalmers, who tied Arthur for a team-high 16 points.
4. Have a healthy Collins. Check. Kansas' sophomore guard played a season-high 32 minutes and finished with 13 points and seven assists.
5. Send the seniors out right. Check, Kansas' four seniors walked out of Reed Arena with the Big 12 regular season trophy in tow. "Emotions were flying high," Collins said. "We just wanted to do everything possible to send them out with a bang in a perfect way."
The game started in the perfect way for Kansas when senior guard Robinson found Arthur for an alley-oop off the opening tip. Arthur stayed active against a lengthy Texas A&M frontcourt that featured 6-foot-9 senior Joseph Jones and 7-foot freshman DeAndre Jordan. With Kansas trailing 15-14, Arthur, a Dallas native, scored six of Kansas' next eight points to help Kansas stake a 22-14 lead. Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon called a time-out, and Kansas never trailed again. Arthur's 16 points came on 8-of-10 shooting, and Self credited his guards for most of Arthur's easy looks.
"We didn't get much from our big guys except off guard penetration," Self said. "Our guards did a real good job of getting into the paint."

Team celebrates season with dinner, awards
BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com
Two months, four days and 20 hours after the final horn sounded and the Jayhawks were declared 2008 Orange Bowl Champions, both the team and their fans still weren't finished celebrating.
About 5,000 fans filled the east stands in Allen Fieldhouse Saturday night for the Jayhawks' 2007 Football Awards Banquet. This was a chance for the coaches to hand out their awards and for the fans and players to relive a record-setting season.
"Tonight, we celebrate the greatest season in the history of Kansas football," co-host David Lawrer ce said.
The players, all dressed in suits, were announced one-by-one with some players receiving standing ovations. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing's ovation was so long that it drowned out the name of the player following his.
"Oohs" and "aahs" were heard from the crowd at some of the biggest throws, catches and tackles from the season.
With the players in their seats on James Naismith Court, the lights turned out and everyone turned their attention to the video board for a 20-minute highlight video.

Hawks extend their winning streak to six
BASEBALL
BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com
North Dakota State made it interesting, but Kansas stretched its winning streak to six games on Sunday, and swept the doubleheader and the series.
Both offenses ran rampant the first two innings and were tied 5-5 heading into the third, but steadier pitching prevailed for the next three innings until the Jayhawks (8-5) broke the game open with a six-run sixth that led to a 11-9 victory against the Bison (0-6).
"I felt good about some of those guys breaking out," Kansas coach Ritch Price said of his offense. "Now we've just got to get a little bit more consistency from some, of our people."
The game remained knotted 5-5 through five innings, but the Bison and right-handed reliever Ben Mathiason (0-2) could only keep the Jayhawk bats at bay for so long.

trivia of the day
Q: Before this season, when was the last time the Tennessee men's basketball team won the Southeastern Conference outright?
—secsports.com
A: 1967. The Volunteers went 15-3 that season behind coach Ray Mears. From 1968 to 2007, Tennessee won a share of the title four times but never was the only team to receive the trophy.
fact of the day
Although the Tennessee men's program hadn't won an outright championship in more than 40 years, the women's team has won 12 since 1980. The Lady Volunteers also shared the SEC title in 2000, which means they have held the title 13 of the past 28 seasons.

JAYHAWKS LOSE FIRST SPRING GAME
Kansas fell 1-0 to Missouri State at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Coach Mark Francis said he didn't take many positives away from the game and was disappointed with the way his team competed against the Lady Bears. Although
the Jayhawks were able control possession at times, they weren't able to convert the few chances they created. Sophomore midfielder Monica Dolinsky had perhaps the best chance when her free kick from about 25 yards struck the post. Kansas and Missouri State met last fall with the Jayhawks recording a 1-0 victory in overtime.

The men's golf team will compete in its third tourna-
the spring season today and Tuesday in the Cajun Classic. It will be the Jayhawks' 12th consecutive
appearance in the tournament, which is held at the Oakbourne Country Club (par 72, 7,141 yards) in Lafayette, La.
The Jayhawks will be led by freshmen duo Brad Hopfinger and Nate Barbee. According to Golfstat.com's Freshman Class Impact Rankings, Kansas' duo is ranked No. 25 in NCAA Division 1. Hopfinger leads the team in scoring with an average of 74.06.
Also competing for the Jayhawks will be juniors Walt Koelbel, Zach Pederson and Brandon Hermreck. Koelbel has competed in every tournament for the Jayhawks this year and has had two top-20 finishes.
Because of the weather, the team has not had many opportunities to play outside this season.
"Obviously, we are just excited to get out of the snow and get the chance to play some golf," coach Kit Grove said. "It makes it real tough when you don't have the chance to practice much, but hopefully when we get back from this trip we will have more chances to practice."
Though the weather has not permitted the Jayhawks to practice much this season, the team got its chance to get outside a couple days this past week.
"We were able to practice our short game and putting, which will definitely help us," Koelbel said.

Kansas sweeps New Mexico in doubles
Team's victory boosts dual match record
BY ALEX DUFEK
adufek@kansan.com
Weston White/KANSAN
The Kansas tennis team started strong with a sweep in doubles to guide it past the 46th ranked New Mexico Lobos 4-3 on Sunday afternoon in Lawrence.
I
The layhawks took the doubles point and four out of the six singles matches to win their second straight match against a ranked opponent and improve their record in dual match play to 5-5.
"The confidence level is really building in each and every spot," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "We've got to keep growing and building our level of play"
Junior Vuliana Swistun returns a shot from a New Mexico player. Kansas took the doubles point and four of six singles matches in its 4-3 victory against the Lobos Sunday afternoon.
Just four days after sealing Kansas' victory against Kansas State in Manhattan, senior Lauren Hommell again stepped up for the Jayhawks defeating the Lobos' Jennifer Ryba 6-3, 6-2 to give Kansas the match.
"I knew that it was coming down to me, and I was just trying to stay positive and stay upbeat and not let the pressure get to me." Hommell said.
Hommell, who missed the fall season of her senior year with an injury, is confident of her abilities at the No. 6 spot but says the position can be challenging at times.
The Jayhawk victory snapped New Mexico's three match winning streak, which included victories against 59th ranked Boise State and 67th ranked Kansas State. After dropping three straight matches decided by a 5-2 margin or less to start dual match play, Kansas found a way to pull out those close matches, winning five of its last seven.
"Sometimes it's hard to be number six because you go out there, and you already lost the match so it's kind of hard to stay focused when you already know it's not going to do anything," Hommell said. "You kind of just have to go out there for yourself when you play six, but if it comes down to me, I think I can do it every time."
A strong start in doubles is something the lajhwakes have been missing during the past several weeks. Sunday was the first time since the Feb. 16 sweep of UMKC that Kansas was able to pick up a doubles point and start the match with a lead.
"It's a lot easier if you win the doubles point to win those 4-3 matches," Hommell said.
The strong doubles push by Kansas was led by the veteran pair of senior Elizaveta Avdeeva and junior Edina Horvath. They improved their dual match record to 7-3 and their overall record on the year to 14-8.
Also picking up doubles victories for Kansas were the pairings of Hommell and sophomore Kunigunda Dorn, and of freshman Magdalena Tokarczyk and junior Yuliana Swistum.
In singles play the bottom half of the Jayhawks lineup had a strong showing, as Kansas emerged victorious at the No. 3, 4 and 6 singles positions.
Horvath defeated the Lobos'
Mackenzie White 6-1, 6-3, at the No.
3 position improving her dual match record on the year to 8-2. Horvath's combined singles and doubles dual match play record is an impressive 15-5 on the season.
"Each year, she has gotten better and better, and I'm very proud of her performance." Hall-Holt said. "She is helping with leading the team, as well. I don't want to say it's a match that we can count on, but it can always count on Edina giving 110 percent."
The Jayhawks' Dorn cruised by New Mexico's Emma Hayman 6-2, 6-2 at the No.4 spot to improve her dual match record to 3-5.
The Jayhawks' next match will be March 14th in Boulder, Colo., where Kansas will face Big 12 North foe Colorado.
Hall-Holt said she was proud of Sunday's victory but wants to maintain focus for the upcoming showdown against the Buffaloes.
"These girls have got to raise their level every time they step on the court," Hall-Holt said. "I'm proud of the girls. I want them to enjoy their victory today, but come Tuesday, it's all about Colorado."
Volleyball team places No.2 at Baker
Edited by Katherine Loeck
》 CLUB SPORTS
BY JOE PREINER jpreiner@kansan.com
The KU women's club volleyball team captured second place in the midst of a competitive field in the Kansas Spring Classic tournament, at Baker University Saturday.
The Jayhawks had three teams in the event with the national, regional and local squads all getting playing time. Five other teams from around the Midwest competed with the Jayhawks.
The tournament began at 9 a.m., but the early start did not affect the Jayhawks. The Jayhawks' national team, the best of the three in action on Saturday, showed it was ready to play in the first match against a weaker Missouri team. The Jayhawks made short work of the rivals, winning in straight games, 25-18 and 25-14. Amy Schrumpf, St. Louis, sophomore, said the victory was important to the team's title hopes.
The only team to give the Jayhawks' national team trouble was the regional squad for Iowa State. The match went into a tiebreaker after Iowa State split the first two games with the Jayhawks. The Cyclones then went on to dominate the extra game, continuing their unbeaten streak. Both national and regional Cyclones teams went undefeated in pool play and entered the bracket stage of the tournament as the top two seeds.
"For the team as a whole, the hardest thing was getting past the first game," Schrumpf said. "It was important for us to start off strong."
The championship bracket began with the Jayhawks playing against each other in the first round. Both the national and regional teams played well, with the favored national team eventually winning 2-0. Cori Simpson, Overland Park freshman and regional team member, said it was unfortunate to have to play her own school in the first round.
"It kind of sucked," Simpson said. "I don't think it was any less competitive, but we would
have liked to play them later on. We all stepped up for each other, but it was a little like practice."
The loss eliminated the first of the Jayhawk title contenders. Within minutes, another fell, as the local squad lost to the top-seeded Iowa State national team. The Jayhawks' last tournament hopes rested with their top team. To advance to the championship, the team would need to avenge the earlier tie-break loss to the Cyclones regional squad. The team had its work cut out.
The match did not start the way the Hawks wanted, as they fell behind 4-10 early in the first game. The team couldn't find a way to rally back and lost the game 15-25. It quickly made up for the lapse in focus by winning the next game, forcing yet another tiebreaker. The momentum from the first game propelled the Jayhawks through the 15-point mini game, and they advanced to the final. Cassie Nealon, St. Louis, sophomore, said playing so many games took a lot of focus.
"You have to treat each game as a separate entity," Nealon said. "You have to go into each game with a new mind set."
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, Iowa State figured that out, too. It was deja vu in the championship as the undefeated Cyclones national team took the lead in the first game and didn't look back. The Jayhawks fought back in the second game but ultimately came up short. The nine-hour event ended with KU national, regional and local teams placing second, sixth and eighth, respectively. The team hopes to continue its competitive play in the two remaining tournaments before the national championships in Dallas.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Drake completes sweep with help from walk-on
ST.LOUIS — Drake completed its improbable clean sweep in the Missouri Valley Conference. So did former walk-on and bench warmer Adam Emmenecker.
Emmenecker added the conference tournament MVP to his regular-season MVP on Sunday, finishing up a dazzling weekend with 16 points and six assists in the No.20 Bulldogs' 79-49 rout of Illinois State in the title game.
Associated Press
"We thought that maybe by his senior year he could start for us," coach Keno Davis said. "But I never had any idea he could do this."
Drake's first postseason championship in the 32-year-old Valley tournament appeared just as unlikely of a prospect back in November.

MEN'S BASKETBALL WRAP-UP
HAPPY ENDING (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Arthur exploited Jones and Jordan on offense, but he also helped contain them on defense. Kansas double-teamed Jones and Jordan whenever they touched the ball. Jordan attempted only three shots in 26 minutes, finishing with five points, while Jones made two of his seven shot attempts and managed just seven points.
The defensive tactic seemed to frustrate the Aigle buys.
"Anybody's going to get frustrated if you've got two guys — every time you catch the ball — coming and swarming you," freshman forward Cole Aldrich said.
Meanwhile, Kansas shot 50 percent from the floor despite making only 2-of-11 three-point attempts. Kansas' offense wasn't flawless, but it executed when it mattered.
The Jayhawks extended their defense to the entire Texas A&M roster in the second half, holding the Aggies to 24.1 percent shooting after the break, and 31.9 percent for the game.
"We're still first in the league in three-point shooting." Self said.
Yep, it was sure tough to nitpick the Jayhawk's performance Saturday. When it was over, the Jayhawks were presented with their Big 12 championship trophy in a locker room celebration; a ceremony that's become quite standard for Kansas — especially this senior class.
"There's no lottery picks in that group, and there were no McDonald's All-Americans," Self said of his seniors. "To win four in a row in such a competitive league is such an incredible accomplishment."
Robinson, however, left Reed Arena thinking about bigger titles.
"It's just one of those things you have to enjoy right now," Robinson said. "And just know, it's not the only thing we want."

WINNING FOR HUDY
Kansas' strength coach Andrea Hudy's mother lost a long battle with cancer and passed away on Saturday morning. Multiple Jayhawks said they dedicated the game to Hudy.
"All she asked for was us to come home with another ring," sophomore Darrell Arthur said. Freshman Cole Aldrich said, "This is for Hudy. She's part of our family."
Kansas has won four straight conference titles six times in its history. The last time the layhawks did it was 1995-98. Kansas has also
won eight of the 12 Big 12 regular season basketball titles since the Big 12's formation in 1996, and has won or shared 51 conference titles in its history - the most in the nation.
SELF OKAY WITH
SHARING
With Texas' victory against Oklahoma State on Sunday, Kansas had to share the Big 12 conference regular season title with the Long-horns. That didn't bother Kansas coach Bill Self.
"It's certainly not a slap in anyone's face to share it with a team that I think has a chance to win a National Championship," Self
said. "Because I think Texas could potentially be that good."
After finishing 28-3 and winning a share of the Big 12 regular season title, Kansas guard Sherron Collins was asked about the Jayhawks being a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
POSSIBLE NO.1 SEED?
"If it happens it happens. If it not, it don't," Collins said. "We just got to play the hand we're dealt."
"I think were playing good enough. I think if we get everything done were supposed to get done, then we'll come out with a No.1 seed, but if we don't, we still got to play"

Collins pushes for a victory
Guard proves that his injury was a thing of the past
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
dodd@kansan.com
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Kansas coach Bill Self had to have asked himself this question at least once on Saturday: "What if Kansas' lightning-quick guard, Sherron Collins, had been healthy all season?"
Maybe Kansas wouldn't be sharing that Big 12 title with Texas. Maybe the Jayhawks could have avoided that February slide. After Collins' 13-point, seven assist performance on Saturday, Kansas' 5-foot-11 might-mite guard proved that the Jayhawks' most valuable player might just be starting games on the sidelines.
"There was a stretch in the second half, it was Sherron's game," Self said. "He controlled the game."
Collins, who played a season-high 32 minutes, scored in double figures for the third consecutive game. More proof that the injuries that have plagued Collin's season are behind him. His stat line wasn't eye-popping. But Collins imposed his will on Saturday's game. His quickness gave Texas A&M's guards fitted, and his pesky hands accounted for three
steals and two easy lavups.
"He's that spark we need," senior mardruss Robinson said.
But Collins hasn't always been there to give Kansas that spark. After scoring 22 points in the season opener, Collins injured his foot in the following game against UMKC. He missed six games and returned to the lineup against DePaul on Dec. 8. But the rest of Collins' season has been a constant battle to get back to 100 percent. By the time Collins regained his strength from the early-season foot injury, he suffered a bruised knee and has been playing through the pain ever since.
After scoring six points in the first half, Collins took over the game in the second. Sophomore Darrell Arthur had to go to the bench when he committed his third foul with 17:51 left in the game. With the Arthur-less Jayhawks floundering on offense, Collins entered the game a minute later and scored the Jayhawks' next six points.
"Coach said we needed a spark," Collins said. "I just tried to come in and provide that, and speed up the game."
The Chicago native did just that, pushing the tempo and sliding into
the lane at his own will.
"I don't know if he's got an extra gear," Self said. "But he's so low to the ground or whatever it is, he's just hard to keep in front of."
Texas A&M's guards would probably agree with Self's assessment. Collins burned every guard who Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon assigned to guard him. If Collins wasn't scoring, he was driving into the lane and dishing off to teammates. He also finished with zero turnovers in 32 minutes.
Self said he knew that a consistent Collins resulted in a better 'Cansas.
"That's something that people that follow us know that we haven't had consistently at all this year," Self said. "Hopefully we can continue to get better and progress and get him playing with that full head of steam."
With Collins at full throttle, the mojo that carried Kansas to a 20-0 start seems to be back. At least, that's what Collins seems to think.
"I think we're getting it back," Collins said. "Hopefully, we can keep rolling."

more second baseman Robby Price to move up to third.
Two more batters later, with the bases loaded, senior right fielder Ryne Price drove in a run the hard way, getting beaned by a Mathlason pitch. Kansas tacked on four more runs in the inning, extending its lead, 11-5.
I've been here."
Those six runs came on only three Jayhawk hits in the inning. One of the three hits came from senior shortstop Erik Morrison, who led Kansas with a season high three hits and three RBI in the game. Morrison's production at the plate helped make up for three errors in the field.
"I'm struggling with the glove, so it's definitely good to be successful in the other aspect of the game," Morrison said. "I think I'm just sitting back on the ball too much and not really going after the ball, being the aggressor. That was by far my worst day of fielding in the four years
Junior left-hander Sam Freeman, who had won his first two starts as a Jayhawk, couldn't escape the second inning as he struggled to find the strike zone. With scouts in the stands to watch him pitch, Freeman surrendered five runs, four earned on four hits and three walks with no strike-outs in an inning-plus of work.
Despite Kansas's six-run lead midway through the game, North Dakota State threatened early and late to steal the final game of the series.
Swinging hot bats early on, the Bison led 2-0 after their first at-bat and 5-4 after their second.
But when Kansas handed the ball to senior right-hander Andres Esquibel (1-0), North Dakota State's bats quickly cooled. In six innings of relief, Esquibel shut the Bison out, and allowed only two hits and a walk while rikking out three.
"I just wanted to go in there and
pick up Sam. He kind of had a rough day," Esquibel said. "Us pitchers, we all have days like that, so I just wanted to go in there and give the team a chance."
When Esquibel left the game after the seventh, though, North Dakota State nearly climbed back into contention with a run in the eighth. In the ninth, the Bison scored another run and loaded the bases on senior right-hander Matt Lane before Kansas turned to junior closer Paul Smyth for the second straight day.
North Dakota State brought home two more runners Lane allowed to reach, but Smyth eventually nailed down his second save of the season.
"I think it was good for him to have to come into that situation and have to try to find a way to get a couple left-handed hitters out because that's what he really struggled with a year ago." Price said.

MARKS UPDATE
"I feel good that he is back. Obviously, he is one of our best offensive players and makes our lineup stronger when he is there," head coach Ritch Price said.
With his pitchers valuing the defense he brings to the table, Afenir is also a force to be reckoned with at the plate.
knows exactly what I want to throw and he came in with me, so I felt comfortable with him behind the plate today."
Throughout his career as a Jayhawk, injuries have not affected Afernir and this injury doesn't look like it will slow him down.
"I was trying to keep him in around nine innings so he wouldn't be sore this week," Price said. "I think he had been a little tender this week in practice and I think his mobility was actually better than I expected."
RAINOUT MAKEUP
It doesn't look like junior lefthander Andy Marks will reach his personal goal of pitching in the Texas series next weekend. Coach Ritch Price said Marks, who's recovering from a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, wasn't close to pitching this week. However, Price said Marks would travel with the team to its tournament in Florida over spring break, so he could make his first appearance of the season there.
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Price said he planned on finding a makeup game to replace the game Kansas lost from its schedule over the weekend because of snow. Price said, if possible, the makeup game would be against a Division 1 team.
The area where the Kansas baseball clubhouse will sit, near the first base bathrooms at Hoglund Ballpark, has been blocked off for construction. Some parking spaces in Lot 125 have been reserved for construction March 10 through March 14.
After being out since Feb. 29 with a hamstring injury, junior catcher Buck Afenir put a ball into orbit his first plate appearance back. Afenir hurt himself attempting to get a triple and has been on the shelf ever since.
Afenir's first homerun of the year brought his average to .409 for the season and helped spark the Jayhawks to a 13-0 victory in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.
BASEBALL
"It's awesome. I love throwing to Buck, he is a great catcher," junior pitcher Nick Czyz said. "He's really good on the mound when he comes out and talks to me. He
"I have been waiting a week and I was just foaming at the mouth," Afenir said. "I think I'm back to 100 percent. I felt real comfortable behind the plate."
Catcher returns, hits first home run of season
The Escondido, Calif., native hit .286 last year with eight homeruns and started 43 games behind the plate. Buck's dependability is an element that the Jayhawks hold him accountable for because he allows senior Ryne Price to play right field and the Jayhawks to have the strongest possible lineup.
The Jayhawks will face Tabor Tuesday and Missouri State Wednesday before traveling to Austin for a series against the Texas Longhorns. Afenir will be needed on both sides of the ball if the Jayhawks are going start off the Big 12 season on a good note.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Barry Hinson, who failed to take Missouri State to the NCAA tournament in nine seasons, was fired on Sunday.
Hinson had anticipated the move, which came two days after a 63-58 loss to Illinois State in the quarterfinals of the Missouri Valley tournament. In a release, the school said it had "reached an understanding that the program needs to go in a different direction."
NCAA Missouri State coach Barry Hinson fired on Sunday
Hinson was 169-117 and produced four NIT berths. His contract calls for a cancellation payment of $150,000, and the contracts for his assistants expire on June 30.
Rowe said a search for a new coach will begin immediately. He said the university will enhance the compensation package to be more
"We have talked with coach Hinson in recent weeks, and it has become apparent to all of us that it is time for a change." Athletic Director Bill Rowe said. "We very much appreciate everything coach Hinson, his family, staff and his players have done for Missouri State."
Hinson had consecutive 22-win seasons in 2005-06 and 2006-07, with top-40 RPI ratings both seasons, but Missouri State was not selected to play in the NCAA tournament. Those snubs may have cost Hinson his job.

"I'd like to thank all the fans that came out tonight to celebrate a great season," Mangino said.
Mangino also reminded the crowd, and

"The Orange Bowl for our football program is not a destination, it's merely a stepping stone." Mangino said.

Weldon recovers from injury
1340 Ohio • 843-9273
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
Chakeitha Weldon's freshman season ended in a split second. Driving to the basket in practice on Feb. 5, Weldon jump stopped to avoid a teammate. Her knee twisted, and the intense pain that followed left her writhing on the floor.
"I was screaming at the top of my lungs," she said.
Weldon tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. But that didn't stop her from remaining an emotional spark plug for this young Kansas squad. Weldon continues to lead the Jayhawks in their spine-tingling pregame routine in the huddle, even doing so while on crutches in Manhattan, and tracks statistics during practice.
"She's the biggest cheerleader in practice," Henrickson said. "You can't say that about every kid. She is the sunshine for us every day."
After successfully undergoing knee surgery on Feb. 22, Weldon has been a fixture at the end of the bench during games.
Fortunately for Weldon, she has been able to rely on teammates and the coaching staff for support. Assistant coach Kyra Elzy suffered the same injury twice during her career. Fellow freshman Nicolette Smith and junior Katie Smith have also torn knee ligaments. Weldon said that having people close to her who were familiar with the injury and rehabilitation helped her stay positive mentally.
"It's unbelievable," Weldon said. "They've been very supportive and been there for me. I can't thank them enough."
Despite the devastating nature of the injury, Weldon can recover knowing she showed Henrickson what she can bring when she gets a chance to contribute. In the two games prior to the injury, she averaged 7.5 points and more than two assists per game in less than 20 minutes. Henrickson said Weldon's progress on the court should help her find motivation throughout the rehabilitation process. She will need it, as she will spend nearly every day with the training staff for the next five to six months.
"Her and the trainer are going to be new best friends," Henrickson said.
Weldon said she knew the process would be difficult, but the idea of rejoining her teammates on the court was enough to motivate her.
"I can't get down about it," she said.
"I just have to stay strong and stay positive for the team. Next season, that will make me stronger."
Henrickson said that she has admiration for Weldon's game, but that she admired the young point guard's mind-set most of all.
"She has every right to have a pity party and invite all of us," she said. "But she has not done that one minute since she got hurt. I just have great respect for her for doing that."

Rush, Arthur named to All-Big 12 First Team
KANSAS

Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
Junior guard Brandon Rush fights to pass the ball during the Kansas-Texas A&M game on Saturday. Rush was named All-Big 12 First Team for the third straight season, only one other player has matched that feat former Texas Tech player Andre Emmett.
Brandon Rush found out early Monday morning that he'd been selected to the coaches All-Big 12 First Team for the third straight season. Only former Texas Tech player Andre Emmett has matched the feat.
"I didn't smile at all." Rush, junior guard, said. "This is my third time getting it. It's nothing special."
Coaches also named sophomore forward Darrell Arthur to the All-Big 12 First Team. They put junior forward Mario Chalmers on the second team and senior forward Darnell Jackson on the third team. The Associated Press didn't select any Jayhawks for its All-Big 12 First Team, but Arthur, Rush and Chalmers were second team picks, while Jackson made the third team.
Exciting? Well, uh...
Despite Rush's lack of positive emotion about his selection, Kansas coach Bill Self was impressed with his players achievement. All season, Self talked about how Rush became a better player after suffering an ACL injury last May. Rush, who was also named a finalist for the Wooden Award on Monday, has played inconsistently for stretches but led the Jayhawks in scoring during conference play at 13.5 points a game.
Arthur was second on the team in scoring and led the team in rebounding. This is his first selection to an All-Big 12 First Team. The Associated Press' choice to not
include any Jayhawks on the first team disappointed Self, but he wasn't surprised because of Kansas' balanced scoring.
"If I'm a voter and somebody asked me who the best player on our team was," Self said, "I'd probably change my vote from week to week, too."
The coaches' other first team selections included Kansas State forward Michael Beasley, Texas guard D.J. Augustin, Baylor guard Curtis Jerrels and Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin. Beasley won Player of the Year honors.
He won the same distinction from the AP and was joined on the first team by Augustin, Jerrells, Griffin and Nebraska center Aleks Maric.
OTHER HONORS
The Big 12 coaches gave the Jayhawks a few other awards. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins won Sixth Man of the Year, and Chalmers and senior guard Russell Robinson were named to the Big 12 All-Defensive Team.
SCHNELLBACHER DIES
BAYLOR 23 KENTUCKY 00
Former Kansas athlete Otto Schnellbacher passed away at 84-years-old on Monday morning. Self said Schnellbacher had cancer. Schnellbacher played football and basketball at Kansas in the late 1940s. As a wide receiver, he caught 58 receptions for 1,069 yards in his career and played in the 1947 Orange Bowl. He was a four-time all-conference selection in basketball. After college, Schnellbacher, a Sublette native, played in the NFL for the football Yankees and the Giants. He also

Students protest energy-production bill
Environmental alliance proves young adults care
KANSAS CLEAR ENERGY
YES WE CAN
www.GPACE.org
BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com
University students will lobby in Topeka today against a bill allowing controversial coal plant construction in western Kansas.
Amended House Bill 327 — a bill concerning energy production in Kansas — passed Thursday, but Governor Kathleen Sebelius is expected to veto it. The bill will fail if the House does not have enough votes to override the veto.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
James Roberts and Bridley Maidhof, Overland Park seniors, plan on traveling to teopaka today to express their concern about energy production in Kansas. The two estimated several hundred protesters from around Kansas would show up to protest the construction of a coal plant in western Kansas.
Johannes Feddema, professor of geography, said the energy produced by the coal plants will be sold to other states, and only 10 to 15 percent of the energy will be used in Kansas.
James Roberts and Bridey Maidhof, Overland Park seniors and volunteers for the Great Plains Alliance for Clean Energy, will attend the protest to show legislators that young people are concerned about this decision.
"As a young person, this is not an issue to just sit back and watch," Roberts said. "Legislators are making decisions at the expense of our future health, environment and economy."
State Representative Tom Sloan voted for the bill last week. He said he felt honor bound to vote for the revised version after adding provisions that addressed Kansas' public health, environment and energy needs.
The decision makers are influenced by financial pressures, Feddema said, and won't live to see the long-term damage of their vote.
"It is the young people, the students and their children, that will have to deal with the impact of these decisions." Feddema said.
Feddema said he was concerned with the amount carbon dioxide that will be released each year.
"Eleven million tons of carbon dioxide over the next 50 years, which is the average life-span of one of these plants," Feddema said about the amount of emissions the plant would release. "You do the math."
Sloan said that number was taken out of
context.
"They are taking an annual number and ignoring the fact that the plant plans to mitigate those emmissions," Sloan said.
Roberts said he was concerned that the bill was pushed through too fast without proper discussion of both natural and coal produced energy possibilities.
The power plant proposed for Holcolm will emit 25 percent less carbon dioxide per day than the Lawrence plant, Sloan said.
"What we want is for the government to have real talks about real solutions," Roberts said. "By pushing this bill through, they are doing the state a great disservice."
Sloan said legislators spent three days listening to people speak against the bill and then took four-and-a-half hours to discuss and amend it.
"We spent far more time on this bill than most." Sloan said.
Maidhof said that over time, the plants will drain the water supply and Kansas agriculture will suffer.
"No one is looking at the long run."

Roberts said windmil farms, not coal plants, were where the future of energy was
Maidhoff said. "The water supply is only going to last 50 years, and then no more water."
Sloan said the coal plant had to retire 40 percent of the water in the Olagalla aquifer, but that didn't mean the resources would be used up. The plant would still have to comply with the Kansas Division of Water Resources.
headed. He said investment in wind created secure jobs and a healthy future.
Sloan said he supported wind farm construction, but that it needed to be anchored by other forms of energy to meet the country's demand for power.
Students Maidhof and Roberts want students to participate in Tuesday's event and call their legislators.
"At the end of the day, the lights need to come on," Sloan said.
"A call is worth at least five petition signatures," Maidhof said, "It shows that you are a real person."

BENNY BURKE
BY KELCI SHIPLEY kshipley@kansan.com
New Orleans is like a European city; it has a rich culture. I miss the food, the climate, the architecture, and I miss the people, there's a warmth and sense of community and family there.
You're a native of New Orleans, La., what's drastically different there as compared to Kansas? Do you miss anything about that location?
You're a classics professor, what all does that entail?
I teach one classics course per semester. I teach Greek and Latinthe languages and the courses in translation for graduates and undergraduates. I also teach courses in classics and civilization like Roman Literature and Civilization.
Stanley Lombardo, professor of classics, practices billiards at his Lawrence home Monday. March 10, 2008. Lombardo said he enjoys the mental aspect of the game and competes in national and international billiards tournaments.
It took seven years to do The Iliad and three for The Odyssey, and I'm currently working on Dante's Inferno. I want my translations to take their place in the spectrum of American poetry. I use living language and I want it to be at least as vital as a movie, through cinematic techniques that take place, or the way I shape scenes.
How do you go about translating works such as The Odyssey and the Iliad?
First of all, the quality of the literature that they produced, they're still the classics, they still set the standards. I've worked with epics and translated lyric works, I've also worked with philosophical prose like Plato. They're not only the beginning of our literary and cultural tradition, but the very finest.
What's beneficial about the Greek and Latin languages?
Have you ever traveled to Greece and experienced the culture?
You were appointed director of the KU Honors Program in 2004. What kind of work do you do with that aspect of academics?
How does the Honors Program benefit the University students?
Oh yeah, it's essential. These works were produced in a certain climate, there's a visual landscape and there'a feel to the geography of it that hasn't changed really, and of course there's also the ruins. There's also what contemporary Greeks and Italians have made of their culture. It's interesting to see their point of view.
First of all, I supervise a superb staff. Otherwise, I oversee all of the operations: curriculum, undergraduate research, national scholarship corporations, as well as admissions and completions standards.
It provides the experience of an excellent small liberal arts college within the context of a major
What are some aspects of your religion, Zen Buddhism, that people might not know about?
I began practicing 35 years ago. The main thing is meditation practice. I like Budha's last words 'don't believe anything I said, work it all out for yourself'. It's a personal practice; you can think of meditation as a form of practical mysticism. It's dropped out of a lot of religions that people practice. I plan on teaching an honors course in the Literature of Zen next semester.
You are involved with the Kansas Zen Center. What sort of services does that offer?
It offers regular meditation practice and instruction, anyone can be involved, there's not a prerequisite.
What's one of your favorite things about the University?
I really love the Spencer Museum of Art. I like how Salaryn Reece Hardy, the director, has opened it up. She's showing us that art presents us with great questions.
In 10 years, where do you see yourself?
Retired, playing three-cushion billiards and practicing Zen.

NEW YORK Governor gets caught in prostitution ring

Spitzer told reporters at a hasty

acted in a way that violates my
obligations to my family."
NEWYORK — Gov. Eliot Spitzer, the crusading politician who built his career on rooting out corruption, apologized Monday after he was accused of involvement in a prostitution ring. He did not elaborate on the scandal, which drew calls for his resignation.
"I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself," he said. "I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family."
Spitzer's involvement in the ring was caught on a federal wiretap as part of an investigation opened in recent months, according to a law enforcement official who spoke To The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing inquiry.
The New York Democrat, identified in legal papers as "Client 9", met last month with at least one woman in a Washington hotel, the law enforcement official said.
The prostitution ring, identified in court papers as the Emperors Club VIP, arranged connections between wealthy men and more than 50 prostitutes.
Four people allegedly connected to the high-end ring were arrested last week.

Discussions begin Women's History Month celebration
Hip-hop forum focuses on racy lyrics
BY JESSICA WICKS
jwicks@kansan.com
Skanks, bitches and big-booty hos. The creative validity of these words in hip-hop lyrics will become an object of contention tonight during a panel discussion that is part of Women's History Month.
The event will address whether ethnic women should fight against these terms used in popular music.
Adrianne Nunez, Lawrence senior, said she thinks it is a woman's responsibility to not allow others to talk about women that way.
"The labels are bad, but you don't see women fighting it either," Nunez said.
Maxwell Hinman, Wichita sophomore, said the songs can have a positive effect on women.
"I think that songs like 'I like big butt' has actually done a lot for women," Hinman said.
He said the stick figure image of beauty changed after that song.
"Now women with figures like Beyonce are considered beautiful, when before people didn't see those women as attractive," Himman said.
Kathy Rose-Mockery, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said women have made progress, but they still have a ways to go before gender is not the primary focus.
"We need to critically look at the images in the media and what they say about the value of women in society;" Rose-Mockery said.
Jonathan Robinson, Oklahoma City sophomore, said he sees rap in some of the poems in his poetry class.
"A word can mean one thing, but have the façade of something else," Robinson said.
Ashley Sanders, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said, "Sometimes a rapper will say this is my bitch, but they mean this is my woman. My main girl."
Robinson said that some hidden lyrics can be worse than what they sound, like in Soulja Boy's "Superman."
"It's a two-way street," Robinson said. "Songs can be degrading in any style."
Robinson said people should judge songs instead of labeling genres.
Hinman said that when he listens
to rap and hip-hop he enjoys the more old-school rap.
"It is more explicit. It will come right out and say bad things, but it doesn't hide anything." Hinman said.
Jasmine Turner, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, said hip-hop is like a business.
"It is always adjusting to what people want to hear," she said. "It is not always, good, but it is necessary."
To become famous, you have to push boundaries, Robinson said.
"You have to be on the edge to set yourself apart and get people's attention." Robinson said.
Nunez said that women have the responsibility to be careful about where they place themselves in the music industry.
"It is getting better," Nunez said. "Some women in hip-hop are making women look strong, and that is good, but they still have a long way to go."
The panel discussion tonight is one of several events being sponsored in March by the center, which serves as a resource for gender issues and sponsors programs about issues such as body image and sexual violence.
The event, which is being put on with help from Sigma Lambda Gamma and Kappa Alpha Psi, is tonight at 7 p.m. in the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center.

Panelists will discuss women's leadership roles in the military today as part of Women's History Month.
Oliver said she thought women in the military would be a good topic because of the war in Iraq.
from Fort Leavenworth, would bring a unique perspective to the panel discussion because both have achieved higher-level leadership positions.
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is sponsoring the seminar, "Women's Roles in the Military: The Challenges of Leadership." The seminar will take place today from noon to 1 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
Second Lt. TiCondra Swartz, scholarships and admissions adviser for the KU Army ROTC, will be a panelist at the event. She said the number of women in leadership roles in the military could be higher.
Angela Oliver, assistant director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, coordinated the event. She said the seminar was one of three in a series this semester to focus on women in leadership roles.
The event will feature two panel members from Fort Leavenworth and two members from the University of Kansas Army ROTC program.
According to the Women's Research and Education Institute, women currently constitute about 15 percent of all military officers. That number has increased since 1948, when women could not legally constitute more than two percent of the military force.
She said Maj, Marne Sutton and Maria, Elizabeth Sweeney, both panels
Lt. Col. Sandra Leiker, adjunct professor in the KU Air Force ROTC, said the opportunity for women to occupy leadership roles in the military has changed significantly in the past 20 years.
Currently, most military occupations are open to women, according to the Women's Research and Education Institute. But the Department of Defense has restricted combat positions to men.
Swartz said many women think they are as capable as men to fill many of these restricted leadership roles.
"There are so many people that look up to women in leadership roles," Swartz said. "I think it's good for them to set an example for our younger female and male soldiers."
Panelists will discuss these and other topics, which Oliver said would be relevant to KU students.
"We don't want to focus entirely on the negative aspects," Oliver said. "We also want to highlight a lot of the progress that has been going on."
"There are a lot of females that are like, 'Hell, I can do that,'" she said. "If they want to do it, I think we should give them an opportunity."

HOLLYWOOD Matt Damon's wife pregnant with couple's second child
NEW YORK — Matt Damon's personal life is getting as action-packed as his movie roles.
The "Bourne" trilogy actor and wife Luciana, 32, are expecting their second child, Damon's representative, Jennifer Allen, said Monday.
"The couple is very excited." Allen told the Associated Press.
Damon, 37, met Luciana, who debuted her baby bump at Sunday's Empire Film Awards in London, while she was working as a bartender in Florida.
She said she did not have further details, or a due date for the baby.
They tied the knot in December 2005 in New York during a private ceremony attended by the bride's daughter, Alexa, then 7, from a previous marriage.
Damon, who won an Oscar as co-screenwriter of 1997's "Good Hunting" has carved a niche as an action star with the "Bourne" films and is now filming the CIA drama "Green Zone" in Morocco.
Isabella, to the family in June 2006.
They later welcomed a daughter,
His screen credits also include roles in "Saving Private Ryan.""The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Syriana".

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 6
A financial disagreement puts strain on a relationship. It may seem that a friend only likes you for your money. If this is true, his or her behavior will be consistent over time. You'll know.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8
It takes you a while to figure out the right position to take. Once you have, it takes even longer to change your mind. Those who will soon find out.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 5
Postpone an outing; there will be too much confusion out there. Pay the bills and go over your shopping lists again. Your priorities will change.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is 7
Keep a lid on your enthusiasm.
It would be easy to allow others to talk you into something you're better off without. Stay away from used car lots.
Lee (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 5
Your forward progress is halted,
so don't worry about it. Take
this opportunity to fully assess
your surroundings. A path will
appear to you soon.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 9
You and a loved one are full of ideas about where you'd like to go next. Other things take precedence, giving you time to make up your minds.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5!
Caution is advised in financial matters. It's not a good day to gamble, shop or even pay your bills. Don't even talk about money
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8

Focus on the job at hand, so it can get out on time. There will be complications. Don't let them knock you off purpose.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8
A very attractive person has rather expensive tastes. You don't have to go along with each and every whim. Show your love in other ways. Don't try to buy affection.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 6
You may have to concede this argument. Don't take it too hard. Be a good sport, even if it costs you more than you'd like to pay.
Today is a 7
It's easier to concentrate now,
so catch up on your reading. You
may discover why one of your
fantasies won't work. This is
good to know.

COMMENTARY
Magazines mask true beauty
BEN COHEN
I spent a weekend in my hometown recently, and I came home to something curious that had been mailed to me. My mother told me I had received the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which seemed odd. I had not ordered it, and frankly, had not realized it was out yet.
As it turns out, the issue comes as part of my subscription to Sports Illustrated, which is still delivered to my parents' house, but the circumstance behind acquiring it really isn't what matters. What matters is what it has made me consider since seeing the magazine in my mail.
Getting the issue reminded me of my early teenage years, when I had barely begun to discover those strange and wonderful beings known as "girls." It was easy to assume at that age, looking at glorified bathing suit ads, that most women I would meet later on in life would be as apparently flawless, and as willing to wander around in bright green twopieces, as the ones featured in SI's annual Swimsuit Issue, or Maxim, or, for that matter, anything else in mainstream media.
My only hope was that most women would have names that were easier to pronounce than all the famous ones.
Apparently one of the guidelines for being beautiful is that the person's last name must have at least three syllables, with at least one vowel that represents a sound it really shouldn't. Of course, it became apparent to me after a while that this was not how they were. Not just the name thing, but I was quite thankful for that.
The mainstream media paint a picture of a world where you are only important if you are physically perfect by the standards that they have set.
Your skin must be clear. Your hair must be perfectly groomed in all conditions. Men have to be ripped, and women have to have certain proportions. Otherwise they are horribly flawed, and they must work hard to overcome those flaws. The fact of the matter is that normal people are rarely like that, and the world still spins in the right direction.
This isn't to say that the people we are told are the standard for perfection are off in another world, by any means. They can come from anywhere, even the University of Kansas.
Look at the Women of KU calendar. It's a standard swimsuit calendar, with gorgeous scenery, little clothing and women who will, in all likelihood, never go out with me, but it is comprised entirely of KU students.
Fun fact: I just found out that one of the models from this year's calendar is a girl I went to middle school with.
There is not enough space in a column for this newspaper to go into all of the problems with being bombarded with images of supermodels as the norm for society. That young people are negatively affected by this idea seems to be more widely acknowledged.
Numerous eating disorders and self-esteem problems have been documented because of teenagers becoming desperate to live up to the supposed standards that their favorite television channels and magazines have set.
I am not here to offer a major solution to the problem. I can only offer some advice.
If you want to improve how you look, feel free. Work out, dress nicely, wear a little makeup if any of that suits you. Just don't take it to an extreme. You don't need to look you are ready to be pasted on a billboard.
C
Besides, your friends won't appreciate having to learn the new, more difficult way to pronounce your name.

Lindsay Lohan's younger sister makes her debut
As much of a "partier" she is, I think she has, or I guess 'had' talent that she wasted away with her personal life. Just when the media kind of stops talking about Lindsay, news comes out from E! that they are giving Lindsay Lohan's little sister, Ally Lohan, her own reality show.
Reality television is ridiculous these days. It seems like there is only one requirement to actually have a reality television show: You Need To Have A Face.
Seriously?! Yes, I am dead serious.
It's no secret about the problems Lindsay Lohan has had the past few years.

Teaching assistants breathe life back into boring, difficult subjects
An ode to the hardworking TA
JESSE BROWN
We have all been there before. Sitting in an auditorium class where 300 to 400 students are sleeping, doing the Sudoku or crossword puzzle, and minds are drifting away from the subject being taught.
An hour, maybe an hour and 15 minutes drift by, and then you suddenly snap when the teacher says there will be a quiz next time on this lecture.
Teaching assistants, perhaps an under-appreciated group of people, are there to save the day when your inattentiveness consumes most of your class time. If I had $5 for every time a teacher said I was inattentive, I would have about $100, but the point is that my mind tends to wander into the great beyond during class. With this thought in mind, I recite my silent ode to the TA's.
you have your usually dreaded discussion session of the course. You breathe a sigh of relief and, under your breath, whisper, "Thank God for the TAs."
You try to recall what he or she was even talking about. You go in panic mode but later realize that
I'm glad you are here to help me learn about the uninteresting topics that I don't care about, and I'm glad that you understand that because you were in my shoes may be only five years ago, perhaps with a disinterest in a different subject.
I'm glad that someone who knows what I'm going through and can really relate to me will guide me through these perilous times of mind-boggling algebraic formulas and the ever-changing lines made up in a graph for supply and demand in economics.
I'm glad that you make a hard and honest effort to get me to learn the subjects at hand so that I won't get hindered by a subject that is not even related to my selected major.
ed us to not listen to you and to ignore the subject altogether. It doesn't, seem that you hold the student's intelligence high in regard to your teaching methods.
I'm glad that you can speak with the students directly, practically face-to-face, and discuss the matters at hand. It feels like a friend who will not quit until you understand the subject.
By doing this, you are only crippling yourself, seeing as how you are making yourself an incapable teacher to the majority of the students.
For the most part, I can't complain. Many of you T.A.'s have been understanding, insightful, and, thankfully, humorous. You are actually able to retain our attention and, in time, our respect and admiration.
Granted, all of you TAs haven't been so kind. There have been some of you who have been short with me and the rest of the class.
May you carry this on as you become a teacher or professor and are able to enlighten young minds into learning.
In doing so, you have only goad.

Adverse Possessors win championship
Victory within reach for Showtime, yet they fail to clinch the title
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
Robel Yemane, St. Louis senior, and Jesse Temple, Overland Park graduate student, try to gain control of the ball Monday night during the championship intramural basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse.

BY WHITNEY HAMILTON whamilton@kansan.com
With the spirit of Phog Allen in their presence, two teams fought for the intramural men's basketball title on Monday night. The Adverse Possessors and Showtime battled it out in the championship and fought until the last second in Allen Fieldhouse.
The hard work paid off for the Adverse Possessors as they clinched the title in a 55-45 victory. The stands were scattered with faithful supporters for both teams. They showed their spirit and incorporated some distractions just like at a packed Kansas men's basketball game. Even Baby Jay made an appearance and cloned around with fans, while getting people pumped for the game.
The Adverse Possessors won the tipoff, starting the game with high energy as both teams sped to the lane and tried to gain some points. At first, both teams had difficulty sinking a basket and the game seemed more like a tennis match as the ball went back and forth between both sides of the court.
players on the benches shouted to their teammates on the court.
Showtime player Jarrett Austin, Brunswick, N. J., freshman, used the glass for two points. Adverse Possessors tried to gain a bigger lead by shooting more three-pointers from behind the arc, but ended up hitting the rim on a few shots. The Adverse Possessors found a break when Showtime's player Brandon Uloho, Wichita senior, gained his first foul and gave Cameron Karlin, Lawrence graduate student, a chance for points. The game continued to get increasingly more intense as the fans in the stands started yelling "defense" and the
Showtime's Samuel Allen, Wichita graduate student, hit a perfect three-point shot from the wing making the Adverse Possessors only six points ahead. The Adverse Possessors gained possession of the ball and Temple fired a three-pointer from the wing in response to Allen.
"Some of the Allen Fieldhouse mystique got to us in the first half," Jesse Temple, Overland Park graduate student and Adverse Possessors' player, said. The tempo quickly changed as the Adverse Possessors made the first three-point shot of the night and fueled Showtime's vengeance.
In the seconds ticking from the first

half, Adverse Possessors were still up by five. Showtime player Phillip Benibo, Lenexa senior, grabbed the ball and dribbled to the outside. With only 2.2 seconds left, he released the ball from behind the arc, but the ball hit the rim and bounced off as the buzzer sounded.
Showtime turned up the heat in the second half and players from the sidelines reminded teammates not to "let them set it up" referring to Adverse Possessors' solid outside shooting.
Feeling the sense of urgency, Matthew Riley, Hutchinson graduate student and Adverse Possessors' player, sped right through two Showtime players and shot at the baseline for a two-point bucket.
The intensity of the game was at its peak during the last two minutes of the game. Once Adverse Possessors had possession of the ball, Showtime's defense stayed on its men and made it hard for the Adverse Possessors to move to its side of the court in time, resulting in loss of possession. Still, the clock on the scoreboard ticked away the seconds and Showtime couldn't measure up to Adverse Possessors in its ten-point victory. Kevin Sterk, Chicago graduate student and Adverse Possessors' player, thought his team played better in the second half resulting in the win.
"We slowed the ball down in the second half," Sterk said. "In the first half, we seemed to be rushing."

Jayhawks aim for another victory against Nebraska
KANSAS

Freshman center Krysten Boogaard fights for a shot, The Jayhawks play Nebraska in the Big 12 tournament tonight.
BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com
The Jahawks hope to gain back some of their original spark when they play the Cornhuskers tonight at 8:30 in Kansas City, Mo., in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament.
The women's basketball team had a certain spark when it played against Nebraska on Feb. 17. Perhaps it was the pink uniforms that made Kansas' 62-61 victory so exciting.
More likely, it was that sophomore guard Danielle McCray won the game at the free throw line with 1.4 seconds on the clock, the Jayhawks' third win in their last four games at the time.
Though she would have liked to pick up some victories along the way, McCray likes the fact that her team will go into the game knowing it can win.
After that game, the talk from Kansas was about finishing at least 8-8 in conference play and getting to the NCAA tournament. Five agonizing losses later and those ideas are long gone. But the Jayhawks still have a chance to recapture the magic from that Sunday afternoon.
"We come come away with a 'W' if we do the right things and do the process we did for that game," McCray said. "We got them into some foul trouble, we focused on the game plan and we executed what we had to do."
Jessie Fetterling/KANSAN
In the first meeting, Nebraska was nearly perfect from the free-throw line, making 30-of-32. The second time around, the Cornhuskers shot an ice cold 17-for-34 from the charity stripe.
"We felt like when we went to Nebraska the first time we played terrible," senior forward Taylor McIntosh said. "It was just nice to get a win and get it going again when we played them here, but we still gave them too many free-throw chances."
When the Jayhawks traveled to Lincoln, Neb., for their second Big 12 contest on Jan. 12, the Cornhuskens blew them away. 71-51.
Nebraska gets to the line so frequently by taking the Kansas defenders one-on-one and driving to the rim to draw fouls. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she thought the Cornhuskers wouldn't shoot just 50 percent again so, to stay in the game, her team couldn't commit so many fouls.
Another thing Henrickson needs from
"You go back to how many games at the four-minute mark it's been a one-possession game, where we've dug ourselves such a big hole out of the locker room but then we're good enough and we're tough enough to make it a one-possession game," Henrickson said. "Then we don't make enough plays down the stretch to get on the right end."
her players is more focus and fire out of the locker room in the second half. In the last five games Kansas has given up big runs to start the second half, making it difficult to crawl back into the game.
If there’s a jayhawk who’s going to be her team on the right end it’ll probably be
Not only would McCray like to get her team a victory just for them, but as the No. 11 seed, she knows that not a lot is expected of the Jayhawks.
McCray. She's been the go-to player all season and wants to put the team on her shoulders when the game is on the line.
— Edited by Mandy Earles
"Everyone has their different doubts about us," McCray said. "It would mean a lot to come back and beat a team that we beat before and a team that's doing really good in the conference."

Bullpen experiencing more play this season
BY SHAWN SHROYER
shroyer@kansan.com
Kansas used 10 players off its bench and six pitchers out of its bullpen during its weekend series with North Dakota State.
Today also, the Jayhawks (8-5) may make at least six calls to the bullpen and most of those 10 substitutes could see significant playing time against the Tabor Bluejays (5-11). When playing NAIA foes, Kansas coach Ritch Price prefers to let his bench players see some action.
While plenty of underclassmen should be able see the field for Kansas, Price will turn to senior right-hander Hiarali Garcia to start the game. In four appearances out of the bullpen this season, Garcia has allowed just one unearned run on four hits with one strikeout.
Price may also start most of his regular starters in the field. Although the Jayhawks have scored 62 runs during their six-game winning streak, Price would still like to see his offense against on driving runners in when they get into scoring position. In three games against North Dakota State, Kansas left a total of 27 runners on base.
But Garcia's outing should last only a couple innings before Price hands the ball to others in his bullpen.
"Allman got his average up to .300 and I think he was under the Mendoza Line when the week started," Price said. "On top of that, E-Mo broke out in the second game and Robby got four hits in the doubleheader, so the three guys who've been struggling
But Price is encouraged that the cogs in his lineup are all starting to hit more consistently. Entering last week, senior left fielder John Allman, who led Kansas in hitting last season, is hitting .172; senior shortstop Erik Morrison, known as E-Mo, is hitting .242; and sophomore second baseman Robby Price is hitting .200. Heading into today's game, the players are up to .300, .292 and .244, respectively.

Junior Preston Land slides into third base safely after Ryne Price's single to right field against North Dakota State Saturday. Players out of the bullpen have been playing more on the field this season.
The offense also received a boost over the weekend with the return of junior catcher Buck Afenir. He was one of Kansas' top hitters before missing four games with a pulled hamstring he suffered legging out a triple against Vanderbilt in the Music City Classic.
a little bit have got it going."
But Sunday, in his first at-bat since the injury, he announced his presence with authority, hitting a home run deep to left-center field. By the end of the weekend, Afenir had raised his average from .389 to a team-best .409 and his slugging percentage from .560 to a team-leading .727.
With Kansas' first Big 12 series coming up this weekend with No. 19 Texas, the Jayhawks' biggest challenge may be trying not to overlook Tabor today and Missouri State Wednesday. However, if the Jayhawks can remain focused on improving their weaknesses in the next two games, they'll roll into Austin with a full head of steam
"It's always harder to keep your focus with the lower level teams I guess, but Missouri State's pretty good," Afenir said. "I think we'll get up for that game. We always give them a game and they always give us a game."

trivia of the day
Q: Who holds the NHL record for most career hat tricks?
www.hockeynut.com
A: Wayne Gretzky. Nicknamed "The Great One," Gretzky recorded 50 hat tricks (making three goals in one game) during the span of his 20-year career with four teams. He also notched two hat tricks in the Stanley Cup.
fact of the day
As a spin-off of the traditional hat trick, Florida Panthers fans began celebrating "rat tricks" in the 1996 NHL season. When celebrating multiple goals in a game, the fans threw plastic rats onto the ice. The tradition started when right wing Scott Mellanby killed a rat in the Panthers' locker room before a game and went on to score two goals.

Oklahoma over Baylor
Experience will conquer all when it comes to the Big 12 Tournament finals. The No. 1 seed Kansas State is too green to win as the favorite, and Oklahoma has a chip on its shoulder after finishing last in the top tier of five teams. The Sooners have won the Big 12 Tournament the past two years. When it comes down to the final minutes of the close games, Oklahoma knows what to do better than any other to come out victorious.

If any team should have the motivation to walk away with a Big 12 Tournament Championship, its the Bears. Losing to Oklahoma State in its final conference game gave Kansas State the Big 12 title outright, and Baylor will be hungry for their share of the conference silverware. Standing in the Bears way will be junior center Courtney Paris. Though Paris is the most dominating player in the country, Baylor will be facing her in her fourth game in five days. Paris' fatigue combined with two victories over the Sooners in conference play means the Bears will break the Sooner's two year grip on the Big 12 Tournament crown.
Big 12 Awards
Women's basketball writers Taylor Bern and Andrew Wiebe selected the Big 12's most impressive performers of 2008.
Coach of the Year
Player of the Year
Player of the Year - Courtney Paris, OU Paris posted a double double in every single game this season and ranks first in the Big 12 in rebounds and second in points. She affects a game more than anyone in the conference and really, anyone in the country.
Coach of the Year - Deb Patterson, KSU One year after finishing 11th in the conference, Kansas State won the regular season crown despite struggling to an 8-5 non-conference record. Patterson's turnaround in the top conference in the country is sure to get her national consideration for coach of the year as well.
Newcomer of the Year - Dominic's,TTU The Big 12 tabbed Seals as its preseason Newcomer of the Year and the junior transfer from South Plains College lived up to the hype.She led the Lady Raiders in points, rebounds and blocks,and finished the season with eight double-doubles.
Defensive Player of the Year
Sixth Man of the Year
- Courtney Paris,OU Any post player that's about to play Oklahoma would be wise to lower their offensive expectations. Paris owns the paint on both ends of the court, but takes particular pride in her defensive prowess. Paris is first in the conference in blocks and averages an amazing 9.2 defensive rebounds per game, more than any other player.
NFL
Sixth Man of the Year
- Kathleen Nash, UT
At 6-foot-2, Nash provides a great inside-out presence as she can post up on the block or shoot a three-pointer. She started only eight games this year but averaged 8.3 ppg and 6.6 rpg and shot 39 percent from beyond the arc.
Green tries luck for second time with St. Louis Rams
ST. LOUIS — Trent Green, who ended last season on injured reserve after his second severe concussion in 13 months, on Monday agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the St. Louis Rams.
Green will be the backup behind Marc Bulger in his second stint
with the Rams. He was supposed to be the starter in 1999 before a preseason knee surgery paved the way for Kurt Warner, who led the Rams to their first Super Bowl victory.
Green visited Rams Park last week and had been mulling a decision whether to keep playing.

Jayhawks bat .750 in victories during weekend opener
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
The Jayhawks had a stellar weekend in their home opener, winning three out of four games in the Jayhawk Classic. They dropped only their last game of the tournament against Western Illinois.
The team opened the tournament with a run-rule victory over Indiana State. The KU offense scored one run in the second inning, five in the third and three in the fourth. Junior catcher Elle Pottof hit her second home run of the season and moved
into a tie with head coach Tracy Bunge for sixth place in all-time career home runs at Kansas. In the third inning, the Jayhawks brought 11 batters to the plate. Sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelka made her return to the mound and earned the win while senior first basemen Addy Lucero had a career day with five RBI.
The Jayhawks' second game of the tournament was the opposite of the first. Junior pitcher Valerie George held her end of a pitcher's duel to earn the victory against the Pittsburgh Panthers. Neither
team scored a run until the seventh inning. Freshman second basemen Kolby Fesmire had the first triple of the season for the Jayhawks to drive in the first run of the game. Sophomore first basemen Amanda Jobe had the game-winning home run in the top of the tent.
In the third game, the Jayhawks beat Indiana State again. Freshman pitcher Allie Clark picked up the win. Junior third baseman Val Chapple had two hits and scored one run and sophomore right fielder Ally Stanton went one for three with one run driven in in the 4-3 KU victory.
In the first inning of Monday's game, the Jayhawks hit two back-to-back doubles from freshman catcher Brittany Hile and Stanton. Western Illinois came right back with two runs in the bottom of the second against Vertelka. Hile added another double in the fifth inning to drive in her second run of the game. Junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley caught Western Illinois' pitcher sleeping, which allowed her to advance to second in the seventh. However, the Hawks couldn't capitalize on it. The final game of the series ended with a 4-3 loss.
Vertelka was coming back from sickness and struggled with her rhythm Monday. "She is a little out of sync, still trying to find her way back into the rotation and she struggled a little bit today," Bunge said.
"The thing I've liked about this time is they've been very resilient and we've had a couple of bad losses somewhere along the line and we've really done a good job of bouncing back." Bunge added.
Over spring break the Jayhawks will host the Kansas Invitational, as well as a doubleheader with Bradley and a pair of road games that will

KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
Competitive Cornhuskers look to knock Jayhawks off course
The last time Kansas pulled out a victory, it was in a thrilling fashion at home against Nebraska on Feb. 17. If the Jayhawks want to get a win in the Big 12 Tournament they'll have to play even better than they did in that game. In Kansas' loss in Lincoln, Neb., hit 30-of-32 free throws. Then in Lawrence the Cornhuskers were just 17-for-34. Nebraska won't shoot that bad from the free-throw line, so Kansas must keep them from getting there in order to have a chance.

QUESTION MARK
Can Kansas recapture the magic it had in Allen Fieldhouse on Feb.177
The 62-61 victory against Nebraska on that Sunday afternoon was arguably Kansas' biggest win of the season. It was the Jayhawks third victory in four games and had them primed for an NCAA berth. Five straight losses have stymied any NCAA tournament talk. They still have a shot at the Women's National Invitation Tournament and a victory against the Cornhuskers would all but lock them into it. The Jayhawks once looked like an elite team in the conference but the challenge is to again find that form before it's too late.

guard
14.7 ppg, 7.0 rp
Sophomore McCray was the hero the last time these teams squared off and she'll be eager to play that role again.
McCray's concern tonight needs to be staying out of foul trouble because if she's not on the court, the Jayhawks don't have a chance.

LaChelda Jacobs, 5-foot-10 guard
Jacobs
5. 7 ppg, 2.7 rpg
Making her first start of the season against Kansas State, sophomore Jacobs' offense was stellar but defensively
she allowed Kansas State's guard Shalee Lehning to score a career high 29 points. The Jayhawks need her athleticism out on the court but she can't be a liability for them defensively or she'll move right back to the bench.

Turner was able to get Kansas' guard out of rhythm in the meeting in Lawrence. If she can stay out of foul trouble, the Jayhawks will have trouble running their offensive sets.

The difference between the Cornhusker's 20-point victory in Lincoln and the last-second loss in Lawrence is as simple as their ability to make free-throws. In the first meeting Nebraska was 30-of-32. The lose in Allen Fieldhouse saw Yori's team make 17-of-34 and fall by one. By most indications, the Cornhuskers are the superior team. If they take advantage of their trips to the line, Kansas should have trouble keeping up.
Can Nebraska convert fouls into points at the free throw line?
QUESTION MARK
Coach Connie Yori's team has all but sewn up a spot in the NCAA Tournament win or lose against the Jayhawks. Though Kansas last win came against Nebraska, it hasn't won since and the Huskers will be keen to avenge that loss. It's all about battling for seeding now for Yori and the Cornhuskers, and the Jayhawks could be their first victim.

The last time Kansas pulled out a victory, it was in a thrilling fashion at home against Nebraska on Feb. 17. If the Jayhawks want to get a win in the Big 12 Tournament they'll have to play even better than they did in that game. In Kansas' loss in Lincoln, Neb., hit 30-of-32 free throws. Then in Lawrence the Cornhuskers were just 17-for-34. Nebraska won't shoot that bad from the free-throw line, so Kansas must keep them from getting there in order to have a chance.

editor's note
Finding the ideal roommate is never an easy task. When one chooses to live with a complete stranger, there is the fear of not knowing what to expect. At the same time, there is no guarantee that living with a friend is the best idea either.
When I was in middle school, I met two of my best friends. We remained close throughout high school and when we all attended college. However, they decided they were going to live together before our junior year, and I decided to live with another friend.I felt it would be better for our friendship if I didn't live with my best friends because we all had different habits.
Only a few months into their lease, each of them began talking to me about how they were getting annoyed with each other. I would hear stories about how one would never do the dishes or how the other only sat around playing video games and drinking — there was always something to complain about. It got so bad that if I wanted

My two friends don't live together anymore and although they have rekindled their friendship, it's still not quite how it used to be. Our hope with this apartment guide is that you have some better knowledge of how to choose a future roommate after reading it than you did beforehand. Happy roommate hunting.

BY ALEXANDRA GARRY agarry@kansan.com
Moving in with a boyfriend or girlfriend is a weight commitment. It can be a sign of a healthy and mature relationship, or a step too far, especially before marriage. Although some people see living together as a risky move for many college relationships, college is when many young adults find serious partners, and diminishing stigmas have lead many of these couples to "take the plunge" and live together.
John Wade, outreach coordinator for Counseling and Psychological Services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said cohabitation could be greatly rewarding but must be approached with caution.
"It is important to discuss everything beforehand — before your lives become so greatly intertwined," Wade said. "Everything from finance to the most mundane things like cleaning and entertaining guests should be discussed."
Committing to cohabitation can mean major changes in a relationship and in the individuals involved.
"One of the easy traps is to become over-dependent and neglect relationships with others," Wade said. "Make sure you have balance — outside hobbies and relationships. Living together can be great, but too much of a good thing can be a danger; if the relationship becomes your whole world, bumps in the road feel very major."
Kaitlyn Kelly, Tonagnoxie senior, lived with her fiance, Mark King, until he graduated in December. They lived not in a conventional apartment, but the Theta Tau — an engineering fraternity house. Kelly was looking into moving into the house when she began her relationship with King. After living in close proximity, their relationship grew.
"Our situation let us get to know each other better faster, and that was great," Kelly said. "But we might have gotten too comfortable too fast, too. Instead of going on dates like other young relationships, we'd just hang out."
Wade said the best way to combat these pitfalls was open communication between partners.
"One of the most important things is to not let things build up," he said.
Even with a healthy, open relationship, challenges to cohabitation can come from outside. Parents, roommates and even friends can pose objections or hesitations about a move in. Wade said that in this situation, too, open communication was key. He suggested sitting down with doubters and explaining your decision.
"Discuss openly and respectfully," Wade said. "Parents may or may not agree, but they'll know you've considered things, and you'll look credible," he said. "It's important to show you've looked at your decision from a distance - what will happen if the relationship falls apart? You of course never want this to happen, but there's always the possibility."
Despite the challenges, Kelly said living with her boyfriend was a positive, growing experience.
"I think it's a good experience overall — if you're in a serious relationship," she said.
After Nathan Pirie, Olathe senior, popped the question to Sally Doyen, Olathe junior, they decided an eventual move-in was the next
Basic steps to maintain any relationship:
1. Don't expect the other person to change or conform to what you feel would be the "ideal" partner or friend.
2. If you find yourself making a large commitment, such as becoming his or her roommate, discuss in detail how the relationship will change and express your expectations. Don't just assume the other person will pay his or her rent or pick up his or her dishes because you are friends.
3. Don't let small tensions build up; be willing and able to communicate your concerns.
4. If there is a dispute, be willing to compromise, and try to see things from the other person's point of view.
5. Communicate, communicate, communicate.
6. Enjoy your time together, but know when to give each other space.

logical step.
Doyen had often stayed at Pirie's previous apartment. Because of this, Pirie said, they felt cohabitation would mean few big changes. Still, they took the time to discuss finances and rules before their move-in in August.
"We made a point to make sure we were on the same page on things," Pirie said.
Pirie said cohabitation hadn't changed his relationship with Doyen greatly, but had affected his relationships with others.
"Without my old roommates around, we have to make plans to go out, it becomes an effort to do things with other people," he said.
His former roommates were supportive of his decision to move, though.
Pirie's and Doyen's parents, however, were less approving.
"Living together before marriage isn't something they really believe in," Pirie said. "But they've eventually come to respect our choice."
Doyen had a similar experience with an older sister. "I value the opinions of my family, so it was hard at first," she said. "But they have accepted that this is just what's best for Nathan and I."
Doyen and Pirie said that living together had come with some challenges, but they felt comfortable with the situation and the growth in their relationship.
Pirie said his advice to couples considering moving in together was to make sure the relationship was mature enough to make the commitment, but also to not forget their partner would also become their roommate, and they would discover new habits and quirks in the other person.
"It is more convenient," Doyen said. "I always think it's silly when people always stay at someone's apartment but don't move in. If you're that close, you may as well pay rent together."
"Living under the same roof, you see a lot of little things you never saw before." Pirie said. "You see all the things that have the potential to bug you, but also the little things that can make you realize how much you love her."

GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN
Roommates can be hard to get along with, but talking things out can fix the problems
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com
Pet peeves — everyone has them, those idiosyncratic nuisances that crawl under our skin. They are the little things that tick us off.
These slight differences can cause the closest friends to become full-fledged enemies once they live under the same roof.
So when it comes time to decide on roommates, pet peeves are an important issue to keep in mind.
The spectrum of roommate pet peeves tends to be rather broad. It can include anything from a roommate being a complete slob to listening to a band such as Hellogoodbye in the early hours of the morning (it does make a good prank though).
One of the most common pet peeves mentioned by students is having a roommate who
is unwilling to do then own dishes.
"One of my biggest pet peeves is my roommates leaving dirty dishes in the sink when they could put them away," said Rachel Seitter, Olathe sophomore. "It doesn't take any longer to put them in the dishwasher."
Having a roommate who seemingly lacks the
the top of his pet peeve list. Another one that tops Ginther's list is also quite common among KU students — the "hearing-impaired TV afficionado" roommate.
In the case of Ginther, it's not Sports Center or American Idol that his roommates watch too loudly — it's the drone of gun fire and the occasional grenade explosion of Halo 3.
"I just get tired of listening to Halo for hours and hours."
"I usually put them away myself and then complain to [my roommates] about it," Seitter said.
"I just get tired of listening to Halo for hours and hours," Ginther said.
Nick Ginther, Dodge City sophomore, is in agreement with Seitter. Having roommates who are unwilling to do their own dishes is at
"We kind of complain about it to each other, and then if we really need something to be done, we do it." Ginther said. "A lot of times we really just deal with stuff."
As for Seitter, she usually sticks to the norm.
Ginther's roommate's entertainment system includes surround sound, making the steady reverberations of gun shots and explosions even more audible. For the most part, Ginther simply tries to cope with it.
Amos Christner, Abilene s
ability to wash their own dishes is a significant pet peeve for many KU students. Some students simply resolve the issue by cleaning the dishes themselves, but others turn to extreme solutions such as throwing dishes off the balcony or in the trash.
NICK GINTHER
Dodge City sophomore
Abbilene sophomore, has a pet peeve including consequences that go beyond being annoyed or irritated by a roommate's idiosyncratic nature: He doesn't want his personal possessions to be stolen. Christner said his biggest pet peeve was when his roommates failed to lock the door when none of them were in the apartment.
"Anyone could walk in off the street if they want and take my computer and trash the apartment if they wanted." Christner said.
Although Christner has never personally experienced a robbery or break-in, he views locking the door as a preventive measure to ensure that such incidents never occur, or at least be less likely.
Christner said that his roommates agreed with him and have been more inclined to lock the door when they were the last to leave.
"I just tell my roommates to start locking [the door] and they have." Christner said.

friends with their roommates, regardless of pet peeves. They agree that "just dealing with it" is the best to approach to handling specific annoyances and frustrations. Even so, Christner does have some advice for those who have pet peeves that are too unbearable to live with.
"Don't really just dwell upon it a lot," Christner said. "Don't get too frustrated. If you are going to get frustrated about it, talk about it with them."
To assure that problems aren't going to arise as the year progresses, or merely to have a better understanding of the roommates you choose to live with, Ginther recommends laying down rules at the beginning of the year as to prevent future conflicts.
Because some students choose to live with close friends, Seitter argues that being overly concerned with pet peeves will only cause the deterioration of friendships.
"Don't dwell on stupid things and let them get in the way of your friendship," Seitter said.
To recap, know that everyone's different, lay down ground rules, "deal with it" if possible, if not then share your concerns, and lastly don't let trivial pet peeves deteriorate friendships.
If you can follow these steps and as long as your roommates are considerate and willing to compromise, then your roommate pet peeves will be a thing of the past.
Noisiness is a common complaint among roommates. Nick Ginther, Dodge City sophomore, recommends that potential roommates lay down their preferences at the beginning of the lease to avoid conflicts in the future.

The last time Kansas pulled out a victory, it was in a thrilling fashion at home against Nebraska on Feb. 17. If the Jayhawks want to get a win in the Big 12 Tournament they'll have to play even better than they did in that game. In Kansas' loss in Lincoln, Neb., hit 30-of-32 free throws. Then in Lawrence the Cornhuskers were just 17-for-34. Nebraska won't shoot that bad from the free-throw line, so Kansas must keep them from getting there in order to have a chance.

BY MICHAEL HOLTZ editor@kansan.com
Everyone gets angry or annoyed at his or her roommate at one point or another.
They might snore excessively, steal food or listen to unappealing music while others are trying to sleep. Yet these examples pale in comparison to what some KU students have encountered with their roommates.

"It got so bad that there was mold covering the stuff," Cox said. "We couldn't stay in the apartment because it smelled so bad."
According to Cox, his roommate's reluctance to wash his own dishes was because of his newfound obsession with World of Warcraft, the massive online role-playing game.

Cox's futile attempt at keeping the kitchen clean only caused him to become more frustrated with his gaming-obsessed roommate. Eventually, he could no longer stand the sight of his roommate's unwashed and moldy dishes, causing him to erupt into a fit of rage.
"I've never seen my roommate that mad at me," Cox said.
"I came home, and the smell was so bad that I couldn't take it anymore and started throwing his dishes off of the balcony," Cox said. "In retrospect, it wasn't the best idea."
Immediately following Cox's furious rampage he decided to take a nap. He was soon

In the weeks that followed, his roommate began to clean his own dishes, or the few that hadn't been broken. Cox was relieved, though he admits that his actions were not that most admirable, or conventional. Even so, the two of them remained good friends and roommates into their junior year.
One student ran into trouble when his roommate started selling drugs from their apartment. "It almost got to the point where I didn't want to go home because I was unsure of who would greet me at the door," the student said.

The student who shared the following story requested to be kept anonymous to avoid potential confrontations. We'll call him John.
While setting ground rules for their threebedroom apartment at Meadowbrook at the beginning of his junior year, John and his two roommates agreed that they would limit the amount of time their girlfriends would visit. The decision was made to prevent future disagreements or conflicts as the year progressed.
"It's easier to set rules beforehand rather than make the policy later," John said. "We were just making ground rules for different things, and because so many people tend to have problems with roommate relationships,
we just decided to deal with it then."
This truce was soon to be broken as one of John's roommates, who had been dating his

girlfriend for a couple of months, gradually started having her over more and more often. John soon noticed a trend in her unannounced and often unwelcome arrivals.
"The first week, she was at her dorm a few nights. The next week, she was there maybe once. After that, she was over at our place pretty much all the time," John said. "She would only go to the dorm to change."
John said that before long, her clothes began to accumulate, and she would even eat and shower at her new, self-proclaimed home. He also became frustrated with her failure to help pay monthly rent and utility bills.
"I didn't feel completely comfortable that my apartment was not entirely my apartment," he said. "I felt that if I'm paying to live there she should to pay to live there, too."
His frustrations didn't end there. John said that hearing moans and other related sounds, you know, the kind that aren't commonly associated with video games and homework, are regular occurrences late at night. The
festivities taking place in the adjacent room were not solely limited to nights either.
"Sometimes in the morning, I would wake up to a thumping noise realizing that it was them having sex," he said.
The accumulation of John's frustrations eventually sparked a verbal confrontation with his roommate, resulting in several weeks of no communication between the two of them.
John said that even after
john said that every one the argument,very little was resolved,and their friendship slowly waned.
"After living with someone for so long, it usually is not the issue itself. It's the accumulation of all the little annoyances over time that all end up exploding over one thing," John said. "Looking back on it now, it doesn't seem like a big issue, it just was at the time."
LIVING WITH A DRUG DEALER
Take a minute and try to visualize the following scenario:
You're walking into your home after a long day at school or work, and all you want to do is sit down and relax. As soon as you open the door, you are greeted by someone you've never seen before.
Now imagine this happening not only once, but on numerous occasions throughout the year. Now imagine if you knew what they were there for drugs.
"After living with someone for so long. It usually is not the issue itself. It's the accumulation of all the little annoyances over time that end up exploding over one thing."
Stephen, a Seneca junior, experienced this scenario frequently while living with his two

roommates in a house on Tennessee Street during his sophomore year. He said his roommate sold marijuana and mushrooms, causing much animosity in the house as the school year progressed.
Stephen said he and his non-user roommate would arrive home to the sight of unknown drug-enthusiasts waiting for their dealer to get off a work. This scene would often occur late at night.
"I would always be courteous to the people and start a conversation with them," said Stephen. "It just created a state of being constantly on guard because I did not have a lock on my door, and I do have a lot of nice possessions."
"My roommate and I didn't even do drugs"
Stephen said. "It created a lot of problems."
Stephen's primary concern and discontent he had toward his drug-dealing roommate was that he was often never there when customers would stop by.
"He would have people there constantly."

people there constantly;
Stephen said. "It almost got to the point where I didn't want to go home because I was unsure of who would greet me at the door."
Stephen, being the self-proclaimed neat freak he is, also became frustrated with the house being in a perpetual state of untidiness. He said the constant cleaning was a bit unsetting.
Although he was often annoyed with his roommate, Stephen claimed that they always got along
well enough to get by
Stephen said that he never considered turning him in to the police, and no physical fights ever transpired during the course of the year.
Even so, Stephen and his drug-free roommate did consider asking their drug-dealing roommate to leave, an idea which was never put into action.
"I don't think he's a bad person," Stephen said. "We are just two very different people, and I respect that."
Even though Stephen managed to get along with his dealer roommate for the duration of his sophomore year, he said that they hadn't spoken since August. Following the end of their lease, Stephen and his roommate went their separate wavs.
Enlightened by his roommate experience,
Stephen leaves those in search of future room-
mates with a few words of wisdom -
"There isn't much of a friendship beyond Facebook." Stephen said.
"Find someone you can trust and that has a similar lifestyle as your own. That's what causes most of the horror stories I have heard."

LIVING A YEAR WITH SOMEONE OF THE OPPOSITESEX
BY CAITY LOTHAMER clothamer@kansan.com
Lipstick, perfume, belching, beer cans, cologne and hair ties are are all factors that you could run into while living with someone of the opposite sex. For Zach Loes, Olathe sophomore, and Kalin Ryan, Plano, Texas, sophomore, living together has been a positive experience.
Loes originally started out living with another male friend in their three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at High Pointe. Ryan entered the picture during the summer break when she needed a place to stay, but because they were all friends, everything worked out well. This is their first year living together.
"At first I was a little skeptical about it because Cameron and Kailin are such close friends, but she is still a good friend of mine so
I was optimistic about it," Loes said.
For Loes, living with a roommate of the opposite sex was an easy transition. Mainly because the three friends had been around each other so much their second semester of their freshman year.
"I was always in her dorm room with her. I would sleep over there all the time." Loes said.
Loes said it was still a transition because everyone was so used to having their own space, and some differences in time management. Loes quickly realized that if he wanted to go out with Ryan, he would have to inform her an hour a head of time, otherwise she would not be ready.
Ryan's transition was a little tougher.
"I had to initially get used to many new things that I wasn't used to," Ryan said. "I have never been in a situation where I couldn't just borrow something I needed that only a girl
would have. I have no problems living with guys, we get along great, it would just be nice to be able to borrow a purse or makeup every once in a while."
"It gets hard when they don't have as much motivation as a girl might have to take the trash out or clean the kitchen; not all girls are necessarily like that either," Ryan said.
The largest adjustments have been household related, such as food, cleaning and taking out the trash.
At first, like most new roommates, they did not share food with one another, but this semester they share everything. Because the three are such close friends, they have a lot of fun, and are still able to be honest with each other. But honesty can sometimes lead to fights.
"To be honest I don't know many roommates that never have arguments," Ryan said.
"I think-we have a lot of ups, such as we are really laid-back, but sometimes we all get into our little moods where we just piss each other off," Loes said.
Because living with Ryan has been a positive experience, Loes is going to live with another girl next year, but is optimistic that the even number can help solve some of the problems he ran into this year when living with three people.
"My advice to anyone going to live with the opposite sex would be going into it thinking positively. It is a lot of fun. Yes there can be a little issues, but that's with anyone. It takes practice," Loes said.
Loes and Ryan say that they would be cautious when choosing to live with close friends because living together can ruin the previous relationship.

Life in a one-bedroom apartment
Students say living alone doesn't have to be lonely
During apartment-hunting season, a top priority for students is to find that special someone they know well enough to live with. But what about those students who decide to skip out on the roommate idea and just live alone. A few KU students went that route and decided to go the school year without a roommate.
BY JASON BAKER

Some students find that living in a onebedroom apartment can be beneficial, because they don't have to share space. Christine D'amico, senior, Littleton Colo., enjoyed living by herself.
"I'm pretty anal. I like to have all my stuff clean. It's all mine and no one can tell me who I can have over," she said.

Miller Davis, Tulsa, Okla. , senior, relaxes in his one-bedroom apartment at the Tuckaway apartment complex Thursday. Davis said that living alone had its ups and downs, but it was a nice change of pace from having roommates.
didn't know anyone when she transferred from Wyoming.
"It was hard at first, because I'm pretty social," D'Amico said. "Now I love it."
However, some students may opt to live on their own after living with one or several roommates. Brad Miller, Olathe, junior lived in a house with several roommates during his sophomore year and now lives on his own.
"It was really fun, but impossible for me to get homework done." Miller said. When Miller moved out, he still wanted to live in Lawrence, and at the same time be able to be successful in his classes. He originally wanted to have one or two roommates at the beginning of the school year, but decided to live alone as an experiment. He liked it so much, he plans on living alone again next year as well.
Although the idea of living on one's own may sound lonesome, some end up loving the idea after experiencing it first-hand. Miller Davis, Senior from Tulsa, Okla., had it happen to him at the start of this school year. Like Brad Miller, Davis didn't plan on living in a one-bedroom apartment, but is glad that he did it.
"I've seen a lot of my friends who have roommates fight with each other over little, petty things," Davis said.
However, having an apartment does have its downside, primarily with rent and utility payments. Miller said his payments were much higher than when he lived with roommates.
"I only paid like $35 a month for gas, electric, and cable and Internet; now I pay $100 for cable and Internet alone, and an additional $50 to $60 for gas and electric," Miller said.
Davis said not having roommates sometimes made apartment upkeep more difficult. "I'm definitely happier living by myself most of the time. But there are times with things like cleaning and being able to share food and utilities, it's less of a burden with other people," Davis said.
Although Miller and Davis may not have a roommate to split the bills with, they do live near their friends and say that helps the situation. "Definitely live around people that you're friends with. If I didn't, it could get lonely or boring. That's the most important thing." Davis said.
D'Amico said she was good friends with her neighbors. "I live in complex of one-bedroom apartments, and I could go over there if I need to borrow something or hangout." She said.
Miller has some advice for students who want to live alone.
"If you're someone who gets distracted easily by having other people around, I think living on your own would be a great way to do well in class, but still be able to hang out with people when you wanted to," Miler said. "If you're someone who can get things done with other people around, then I would recommend living with roommates to cut down on the cost and give you more things to do in your down time."

The last time Kansas pulled out a victory, it was in a thrilling fashion at home against Nebraska on Feb. 17. If the Jayhawks want to get a win in the Big 12 Tournament they'll have to play even better than they did in that game. In Kansas' loss in Lincoln, Neb., hit 30-of-32 free throws. Then in Lawrence the Cornhuskers were just 17-for-34. Nebraska won't伤 that bad from the free-throw line, so Kansas must keep them from getting there in order to have a chance.

APARTMENT GUIDE
Look at lifestyles to predict compatibility
Whether you choose a best friend or stranger, finding a roommate can be a difficult decision
BY ISADORA RANGEL irangel@kansan.com
Having a roommate is like marriage. You never know what you are getting into until you start living with someone.
Whether rooming with your best friend or a complete stranger, the best way to avoid having your worst enemy sleeping in the next room is to know if your habits are compatible.
Potential roommates should make clear what they are looking for and establish some guidelines, said John Wade, outreach coordinator for Counseling and Psychological Services at Watkins Memorial Health Center. He said that housing stressed agreement between people, and they should be aware of their "rights with respect of others." Writing down a few guidelines is a good way to make rules clear and easier to follow.
These guidelines mainly involve daily habits. It is important to watch out for partying habits and noise because nobody likes to be woken up in the middle of the night by a drunk or a loud roommate. Also, knowing how often they bring friends over might avoid walking into your apartment and seeing strange faces
Cleaning habits are a special category that has to be looked at carefully. Both roommates should be compatible when it comes to cleaning before they move in together. People with different ideas of what a clean room is might have conflicts.
Rooming with friends has a good and a bad side, because seeing each other every day might strengthen ties or cause conflict. It is important to know if friends have compatible habits besides having compatible personalities.
On one hand, some people end up having a great experience. For Nick Frisby, Marion graduate student, living with his good friend worked out really well and even made them closer than before. Their laid-back style made it work. "Both of us don't mind the mess," Frisby said.
On the other hand, living with friends can be a bad idea for some students. Kellen Voss, Shawnee graduate student, decided not to have roommates anymore after living with his messy friends. "Don't room with your friends because you learn too much about them that you wouldn't know," Voss said.
Another option is to move in with people you don't know or with whom you are not
close. A lot of students find someone through acquaintances or friends' friends.
It is important to have some questions ready about potential roommates' habits and background. Also, get in touch with previous roommates to know how their experience was.
According to Lindsey Spedding, Marietta, Ga., graduate student, it is easier to live with someone you don't know because you end up being more respectful. She barely knew her roommate, but became best friends with her after they moved in together.
Whoever you end up living with, be aware of legal and financial issues first. Keeping in mind a few things might avoid a headache in the future.
Teresa Baker, tenant and landlord counselor at Housing and Credit Counseling Inc., advises people to know their rights and make sure their future roommate really has money to pay for rent.
Don't be afraid to ask for a copy of their paychecks. Get in touch with their previous landlords to know how responsible they were in the past. If you want to go further, check their criminal and civil records. Shawnee County provides this service online, but other counties might have different policies.
tips
Here are a few things you should do before moving in with somebody:
1. Know if he/she is a morning or night person.
2. Find out if you are going to live with a party animal or a homebody.
3. Ask how often they bring friends over.
4. Talk to their previous roommates and landlords.
5. Ask if he/she is a smoker in case you don't like cigarettes.
6. Know if they are tidy or messy.
7. Write down your guidelines and rules.
8. Remember that good friends are not necessarily good roommates.
9. Read the Tenant Handbook on the Kansas Housing and Credit Counseling Web site, www.hcci-ks.org/tenanthelp.htm.

The University has given KJHK until fall 2009 to relocate their station because the studio does not meet building codes. The station is asking Student Senate to contribute $75,000 to the proposed $245,200 remodel project in the Kansas Union. The money would come from the Student Senate Reserve Account, which has nearly $360,000.

A step up from 'the shack'
Student Senate to vote on $75,000 contribution for KJHK's relocation
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
Student Senate will vote tonight on paying for $75,000 of KJHK's move to the Kansas Union.
KJHK, the student-run campus radio station, is located in the Sudler Annex — commonly called "the shack" — a building near JRP Hall. The University gave KJHK until Fall 2009 to move out of the building. The Sudler Annex was donated to the University in 1929 and does not meet current building codes, including handicap accessibility.
KJHK has proposed a move to the third floor of the Kansas Union, which would be a $245,200 remodel project. The alcoves next to the FedEx Kinko's center would be remodeled into a studio and production center for the radio station.
KJHK plans to contribute $100,000 of its own money, and the Kansas Union will pay for $20,000 of the project. The station is asking Student Senate for $75,000 from the Student Senate Reserve Account, which has almost $360,000. The account is made up of money from previous years that isn't spent. The station hopes to raise the remaining $50,200.
Danielle Basci, Houston senior and station manager, said the building was too old for the station. She is one of more than 140 students involved with the radio station, which has 3,260 listeners daily.
"We always joke that it's about to fall off that hill." Basci said.
Tom Johnson, general manager and program director at KJHK, said the station needed to be updated and made more visible to the campus population. Right now, KJHK broadcasts from "the shack," produces in the Dole Human Development Center and has a business office in the Kansas Union. Johnson said the distance between the different parts of the station made it difficult to operate cohesively.
"I think it's really hard for KJHK to show students how many opportunities it offers," Johnson said.
Basci said the station was working on raising the remaining money by looking for support from local businesses. She said the station would also hold a donation drive on the air if necessary. She said the move would give the station more of a presence on campus and attract more students like her. Basci, an art history major, stumbled on the station while driving around. Basci now plans to work in radio after graduation thanks to her experience working for KJHK.
Johnson said Senate wouldn't be giving money to the station and its workers with no return. In exchange for the $75,000, KJHK will offer 70 campus groups 24 free advertisements a year for the next eight years, time that would cost normal advertisers $80,640. Currently the station can broadcast public service announcements about groups, but it doesn't advertise events.
Johnson said the station couldn't offer
free advertising to student groups promoting events that generate revenue because of a Federal Communications Commission policy that says groups must pay for that kind of advertisement.
Sam Schlageck, Manhattan senior anfine arts senator, was involved in writing the bill. He said the exchange of advertising time would make the offer appeal to other senators.
The bill to fund KJHK went to Senate committees last semester. A bill must be
"That's what sweetens the deal for us."
Schlageck said. "It makes this legislation a lot easier to pass."
Schlageck said he got involved with the project after being appointed as a Senate representative to the KJHK Advisory Board and he eventually helped write the legislation. Schlageck said senators should like the bill because the Reserve Account money often goes unused.
by the numbers
$245,200 — total price of KJHK's remodel project to space in the KU Union
$75,000 — amount the station is asking Student Senate to pay out of the Student Senate Reserve Account $100,00 — amount the station will pay out of its own reserves $20,000 — amount the KU Union will pay to fix exterior windows $50,200 — remaining amount KJHK must raise to complete the remodel
seen and passed by two committees before it can be voted on at full Senate. Schlageck said the bill passed in the Student Rights Committee but failed in Finance Committee because members felt like they didn't have enough information. Last week the finance committee passed the bill because the station provided more information about how the $75,000 would be spent.
If Senate doesn't approve the $75,000 tonight, Johnson said it would prolong the station's time in Sudler Annex. The station would eventually have to move anyway because of building codes. He said the group was creative by nature and would just have to raise the money.

The KU Parking Commission wants to drop the price of a Park and Ride permit from $205 to $100, while increasing the prices of most other permits by $30. If approved by KU Provost Richard Lariviere, the changes will go into effect next fall. A parking commission meeting also sparked conversation about the possibility of giving all students free access to all KU buses.

Police officers refuse to pay speeding tickets
ROCKVILLE, Md. — No matter what the cameras say, some drivers are refusing to pay dozens of $40 speeding fines.
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — For guys who park in front of the TV during college basketball's March Madness, the Oregon Urology Institute has a suggestion: Why not use that time to recover from a vasectomy?
Who? Police officers.
Supervisors dismissed 76 of those citations after determining the officers were responding to calls or had valid reasons to break the speed limit.
But that left 148 who didn't have that excuse, and about two-thirds of those citations haven't been paid, said police Lt. Paul
In the last eight months or 2007, Montgomery County's new speed cameras recorded 224 cases in which police vehicles were recorded traveling more than 10 mph over the speed limit, according to department records.

Obama predictably wins in Mississippi
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
JACKSON,Miss. — BarackObama coasted to victory in Mississippi's Democratic primary Tuesday, the latest in a string of racially polarized presidential contests across the Deep South and a final tune-up before next month's high-stakes race with Hillary Rodham Clinton in Pennsylvania.
Obama was winning roughly 90 percent of the black vote but only about one-quarter of the white vote, extending a pattern that carried him to victory in earlier primaries in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.
His triumph was widely expected, and seemed destined to do nothing to shorten a Democratic marathon expected to last at least six more weeks — and possibly far longer — while Republicans and their nominee-in-waiting, Sen. John McCain, turn their attention to the
Clinton expressed disagreement with Ferraro's comments, and said, "It's regrettable that any of our supporters — on both sides, because we both have this experience — say things that kind of veer off into the personal."
Torrance, Calif., that was published last Friday.
fall campaign.
Obama called Ferraro's remarks "patently absurd."
Obama picked up at least six Mississippi delegates to the Democratic National Convention, with 27 more to be awarded. He hoped for a win sizable enough to erase most if not all of Clinton's 11-delegate gain from last week, when she won three primaries.
Neither of the two rivals appears able to win enough delegates through primaries and caucuses to prevail in their historic race for the nomination, a development that has elevated the importance of nearly 800 elected officials and party leaders who will attend next summer's national convention as uncleaved superdelegates.
Obama began the night with 1,579 delegates, to 1,473 for Clinton. It takes 2,025 to win the nomination.
There was little suspense about the Mississippi outcome, and both Clinton and Obama spent part of their day campaigning in Pennsylvania, which has 158 delegates at stake in a primary on April 22.
Adding to the uncertainty in the lengthening race between Obama and Clinton, Democrats from Florida and Michigan are pressing for their delegations to be seated at the summer convention.
Returns from the first few precincts to report showed Obama gaining 60 percent of the vote, to 38 percent for Clinton.
The volatile issue of race has been a constant presence in the historic Democratic campaign, and it resurfaced during the day in the form of comments by Geraldine Ferraro, the 1984 Democratic vice presidential candidate and a Clinton supporter.
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept," she said in an interview with the Daily Breeze of
Obama leads Clinton among pledged delegates, 1,368-1,226 in The Associated Press count, while the former first lady has an advantage among superdelegates, 247-211.
Both states were stripped of their delegates by the Democratic National Committee after they held early primaries in defiance of party rules. But efforts are under way to find a compromise that would satisfy party leaders in both states as well as the candidates, possibly through primaries-by-mail.

Museum merges art, science
The Natural History Museum will bridge the gap between science and art this year by featuring its first ever art gallery.
Beginning in August, the gallery will decorate four floors of the museum's main stairwell. The project, spearheaded by the museum's Student Advisory Board, will feature students' and local artists' representations of a different topic in science every six months.
Thomas Hardy, Salina senior and president of the board, said the exhibit's first topic, biodiversity, would engage the museum's 50,000 annual visitors in a new way.
One of the exhibit's goals, Hardy said, would be to spark the creative aspects of museum visitors' brains.
"It's fine and dandy to have a natural history museum and an art museum, but how cool would it be to mix the two?" he said.
That idea resonated with Tristan Smith, visitor service coordinator for the museum and Biodiversity
submission info
Theme: biodiversity
Theme: biodiversity
Items to submit: image, Idea,
or previous work
Due date: May 15
Award notification: June 1
Contact: Thomas Hardy, tcarl
hardy@gmail.com or stop by
the Natural History Museum
Research Center.
Smith developed the idea for the exhibit out of a desire to encourage a dialogue among visitors that goes beyond science.
"We want to bring in a different crowd," Smith said. "It's more of an outreach to get people who aren't normally interested in science, but in art."
Katie Oberthaler, Wichita sophomore and vice president of the board, said art for the gallery would be selected based on its visual appeal and relevance to the exhibit's theme.
She said submissions for the gallery's first six-month rotation
could depict almost anything related to biodiversity, including global warming and water use.
Hardy said the art could also be in any form, including paintings, photography and videos, as long as each piece fits requirements specified in the Call for Artists sheet available at the Museum.
"We want stuff that's really challenging and gets at the core of modern art — breaking conventions and playing with ideas," he said.
The museum's main stairwell is currently being repainted and fitted with new lights to accommodate the gallery, which will occupy more space than many of the museum's existing exhibits, Hardy said.
The Student Advisory Board also plans to provide a $50 honorarium for the artists whose work is selected for the gallery. Art submissions are due on May 15 and selections will be announced on June 1.

Olathe attorneys to investigate Morrison
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two attorneys from Olathe were appointed Tuesday to investigate whether former Attorney General Paul Morrison committed criminal misconduct while carrying on an affair with a subordinate.
Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline appointed Robert E. Arnold III and Timothy E. Keck, who are partners in an Olathe law firm, to examine Morrison's conduct during an extramarital affair he had
BY MARGARET STAFFORD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Carter has said the affair began while she worked for Morrison in the Johnson County district attorney's office and continued after he was elected attorney general. She has accused Morrison of trying to use her to influence a federal lawsuit filed against Kline by eight workers Kline fired after taking over as Johnson County district attorney. She also has said Morrison tried to get information from her about Kline's activities
with Linda Carter.
Carter also has filed a discrimination claim against Morrison with the federal Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission.
Morrison resigned in January after acknowledging the affair, but has denied Carter's allegations of misconduct.
The Johnson County Commission gave Kline $25,000 to hire the prosecutors. The two men will begin the investigation "right away," but have no timeline for completing it, Keck said. "I don't know anything about the case except what's been reported in the media," Keck said. "We have a file of information, we'll go through that and see where the evidence takes us."

Widow donates actor's collection
》 THEATRE & FILM
Kristin Hoppa/KANSAN
A collection of memorabilia from the life and work of University of Kansas alumnus and actor Moses Gunn will be housed in the department of theatre and film. Gwen, Gum's widow, donated the items, which include several pictures, an emmy nomination and a bust of the actor.
BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com
More than 45 years after Moses Gunn first arrived at the University of Kansas as a graduate theater student, memorabilia from his 30-year acting career have found a home on campus.
In late January, more than 20 boxes full of framed posters, awards, photographs and sculptures arrived at the department of theatre and film from Moses' widow, Gwen. She said Moses had cataloged memorabilia from his career until his death in 1993, but the collection sat in her attic until she was able to find a suitable location. Gwen said her husband had always intended to donate it to either the University or Tennessee State, where he completed his undergraduate degree. The University received more than 80 items from Gwen.
Gwen said her husband always regretted the way his studies ended
"It's good to have it have a home at last," she said.
The department is cataloguing the collection and planning an exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art in February of next year during Black History
"When you are on stage with him, the relationship between the two of you creates a kind of vortex that just sucks you into the scene."
Month. The department is also looking for a permanent home for Gunn's collection at Murphy Hall following the exhibit.
Gunn first attended the University from 1959 to 1961, completing all but his thesis for a master's degree in theater before leaving to pursue a professional acting career. His career included performances in "Roots," "The NeverEnding Story," "Little House on the Prairie" and "Fool in Love." Moses won two NAACP Image Awards, an Emmy Award nomination and helped found the Negro Ensemble Company.
BILL KUHLKE Former professor
"He would be so happy to know about this because during his whole life he was so encouraging to young people in theater," she said. "After he was here and having success, he would always encourage students to go to college."
After an award-winning career, Moses returned to the University in 1989 with the help of former professor Bill Kuhlke to complete his degree. Kuhlke said he taught Moses during his first stint at the University, and the two had remained friends throughout the 30 years that followed.
Though Moses had inquired about completing his degree before returning in 1989, Kuhlke said previous
requirements would have demanded he complete his thesis. Changes in curriculum allowed Moses to earn his degree through his professional contributions, a series of lectures and a performance alongside Kuhlike in a University Theatre production of "I'm Not Rappaport." The contributions allowed Moses to avoid receiving an honorary degree, something his widow said never appealed to him.
Kuhike said Moses would be remembered for his accomplishments in the theater and, specifically, the ground he broke for African-American actors within the profession. But most of all, he said Moses' legacy was his powerful presence on stage and the effect he had on the audience and those who worked with him.
"Moses had a kind of dynamism and what you might call a grip as an actor," he said. "When you are on stage with him, the relationship between the two of you creates a kind of vortex that just sucks you into the scene."

ENTERTAINMENT Madonna inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
NEW YORK — Madonna, pop music's quick-change artist, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Monday and paid tribute to people who encouraged her and even critics who panned her for helping drive her career. Madanna recalled a teacher who encouraged
her to follow her dreams when she was only 14.
"Thirty-five years later, people are still encouraging me to believe in my dreams," she said at the induction ceremony. "What more could I ask for? Even the people who "said I was talentless, that I was chubby, that I couldn't sing, that I was a one-hit wonder, they helped me, too;" she said. "They inspired me because they made me question myself repeatedly and pushed me to be better."
Madonna didn't perform but asked punk rockers Iggy Pop and the Stooges to sing "Burning Up" and "Ray of Light."

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7
Hurt feelings take time to heal. Don't try to rush the process. It's hard to be objective when your emotions are involved. Talk about it when you're ready.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
You'll pass the test, so arrange for a victory celebration. Lunch with friends works perfectly, if they all pay their own way. Don't offer to pick up the tab.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6
Doing what you promised is always important. If you haven't, call and set new deadlines for yourself. That would be much better than avoiding the whole mess.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
Your financial worries are about to lessen, a lot. You'll still have to watch what you spend, but you won't spend so much time worrying. It's all good.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22) Today is a 5
For the next few weeks you'll find it easier to save. Take advantage of this situation to increase your security. This should be interesting.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is an 8
Prepare for a breakdown on the job, so you'll be less upset if it happens. Don't start new endeavors; finish the one you're working on. And do it well.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5
You're naturally good at colors, and finding the right combinations. That, and other creative talents are enhanced for the next few weeks. Plan a major renovation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7
It'll be easier to ignore insensitive remarks for the next several weeks. You'll have an extra-thick cushion of love to hide behind.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7
A competitor keeps you on your toes, hopefully not distracted. You can't afford to let your attention wander. Concentrate.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7
It's getting easier to be creative. You'll come up with schemes so unusual, you'll wonder how you thought of them. Be careful, some won't work.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 6
It's a little easier to make money in the next few weeks. This is good. You'll be able to make up for a recent loss, without suffering too much.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
It's been rather tough going lately. You've been undergoing a reality check. It isn't quite over yet, either. Tough it out; you'll be better for the experience.

COMMENTARY
Lunar nemesis orbits through crosshairs
THE MOON
FRIEND
OR FOR?
CORBAN GOBLE
A couple weeks back, the military launched a missile into space to destroy an aging weather satellite. While many world leaders viewed this aggressive decision as a military statement to China, hence flexing our muscles (via missile) and exploring our military capabilities (by exploding), I saw what was really going on here. The whole scheme is an elaborate tune-up.
A tune-up for America's eventual mission - blowing up the moon.
I've thought about the concept of moon destruction before, and frankly, I'm all for it. Heck, my audition column to get a position on the Kansan was about this very topic. The only reason you haven't seen it is because the idea was stifled by my viewing of an old "Mr. Show" clip where they farcically advocated blowing up the moon.
Good reasons exist to nuke the moon, and most of them will bring mirth to adults and students alike.
Naturally, I sued the producers for traveling through time and stealing my idea. The case never gained much leverage. But given recent current events, my opinions have been resurrected.
Why nuke the moon? We don't need it. Simply put, it's man's ultimate menace. Constantly looming, haranguing our attempts at greatness, providing scant reflective light but not enough to save us money on light bulbs, the moon needs to go.
We already blew a weather satellite out of the sky, and isn't the moon just Earth's most elderly satellite, devoid of any real function?
Sure, the entire country trembled
at the edges of their LA-Z-BOYS when Neil Armstrong first strutted across the moon's dusty surface. Subsequent trips were also revelatory, specifically about the nature of the moon and its terrain.
The moon—the galaxy's easiest hole-in-one!

However, we got bored with it. Once, astronauts even brought golf clubs and a moon cart up there and worked on their short game.
If my assumptions are correct, and they usually are, considering my mind works through only the most logical and efficient processes, it would be easy to embark on several prerequisite trips to fill the moon's craters up with Black Cats, Smoke Bombs and those annoying tanks that look like they'll do something cool, really, but will just flame out in about two seconds. That would make an already awesome explosion extra astounding.

In my economics coursework, we have often discussed the concept of a positive externality, or a benefit received from a good, product, or service that is not reflected in the price of the good. Since everyone around the globe would see the destruction of the moon for free, nuking the moon symbolizes the epitome of a positive externality.
So when would I propose to do this?

Instructors must remember students' right to privacy
1. witnessed something I never should have this Monday afternoon.
I was in Fraser Hall around 1 p.m., waiting for my next class to start. Another class let out, and as the students left and the new class began, a professor pulled a student aside, and started speaking to her.
The professor started berating her for an assignment. The professor claimed it was plagiarized and that she was only giving her half credit for the assignment, and then continued to explain that this was illegal and that she was lucky to get the grade she did. She was condescending and at times just plain rude.
This went on for a good 20 minutes. The student seemed to handle it remarkably well. In the end, she said, "You're the teacher. I'm just a student"
She may be a student, but she's still entitled to certain rights.
Like the right to privacy.
I don't know whether the student actually plagiarized the assignment. I don't care, either. I care about the fact that the professor had the nerve to take her into a public place, and share the conversation with the world.
This is what office hours are for: to allow students to discuss problems with their professors privately. To prevent students from having

Bored in April? No sweat, take the T-shirt challenge
I'm a pretty clean guy, and when I say clean, I mean all-around clean. You could take it in a hygiene sense. I shower daily. Or a sexual sense. I'm STD free. Or even that I don't like clutter in my kitchen. I'm tempted to break my cleanliness for a month however, all because of one ridiculous challenge—the T-shirt challenge.
The T-shirt challenge bears a striking resemblance to the pants challenge, where participants wear one pair of their own pants every day for a month without washing them. On the last day, everyone trades pants with someone else and goes through a day awkwardly apologizing for someone else's stench emitting from their trousers. This is
My friends invited me to try this with them, and I'm not quite sure if I can commit.
what the T-shirt challenge is, except everywhere the word pants appears above, you just replace with T-shirt. We're all in college; college is full of one-month challenges (note: see no-shave November) so this should be easy enough.
The cons being that I'd lose all female interest in my life, catch a nasty rash (I'm assuming), stink to high heavens, possibly lose my job and probably get sexually accosted by a number of wild and domesticated animals, including Baby Jay. Baby Jay can't resist this musk.
I've been mulling this opportunity of utter griminess for a few weeks now, weighing the pros and cons.
The pros being that I wouldn't have to wash any shirts for a month.
For some odd reason, I can't seem to shake the idea that doing this challenge could be a good time. When in my life will I have the opportunity to wear the same T-shirt for a month without washing it?
All logic has eluded me.
When I'm homeless?
these." And I usually respond, "why not?" as I'm holding up a shirt that is as stiff as a saltine cracker. I ruin shirts, so I'm thinking I'd ruin the gladiator of a G=T-shirt I wear for a month in, oh, about three days.
I've got one major worry, though.
I sweat. I sweat a lot. I sweat so much that when I take in clothes to Goodwill they say, "Uh we can't take
Also, in the rulebook for the T-shirt challenge nothing is mentioned about what can be worn if you'd like to go to the gym. Or what can be worn to a funeral or wedding. I suppose layering is always an option, but I fear my shirt will be so putrid that attendees may fear that the corpse is rotting when really it's just my sad, sad T-shirt.
If you're at all interested in the T-shirt challenge, take part in it from April 1 to April 30. This article is published in advance because this takes planning. A participant must choose the right T-shirt, the one that could last a month, and the right deodorant as well.
Just don't forget that, on the last day, you have to switch with someone else who's been wearing the same T-shirt for a month, too. Just watch out for that rash.

Committee requests grade policy change
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
fchambers@kansan.com
University Senate's Executive Committee did not approve the changes the Academic Policies and Procedures Committee recommended to the class drop policy at SenEx's meeting last week.
SenEx agreed with the Academic Policies and Procedure Committee, the AP&P, that the mark "W" withdrawn, should be reinstated in place of the marks "WP", withdrawn passing, and "WF" withdrawn failing. But SenEx asked the AP&P to rewrite its recommendation regarding signatures of drop forms because of ambiguous wording.
Geraldo de Sousa, chairman of the AP&P and associate professor of English, said the committee wanted to be sure students knew they would have to follow the drop rules of the school of their major, not the school of the class they were enrolled in.
Jack Brown, a member of SenEx and professor of molecular biosciences, said he supported the reinstatement of "W" on transcripts, but did not agree with the AP&P that "W" was a neutral mark.
Brown said the University instituted the "WP" and "WF" grades because past studies done by the AP&P had shown that "W" was looked at negatively. He said people had assumed students withdrew from their classes because they were not doing well in them. The "WF" and "WP" grades were instaled in Fall 2006.
Sousa said he did not think an occasional "W" on a student's transcript would be a problem. He said the mark only became a problem when students habitually withdrew from classes.
Brown said the only argument that had persuaded him was the inconsistent standards teachers used to give "WFs". He said it was unfair to the total population of students that some disciplines did not like to give out "WFs" but others did not mind using it. He also said the fact that
"If the student has never performed, then how do I know if they were falling?" Brown said.
some teachers gave "WFs" to students because they had not yet done any work in the class was unfair.
If University Senate approves the AP&P's current recommendations, students might be able to drop their classes online after the third week of the semester because schools at the University would be able to make their own signature rules.
Kim McNeley, a member of the AP&P and assistant dean of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said students should get permission from an adviser to drop a class if they were a freshman or close to graduation.
SenEx was also concerned the new policy would be hard to implement because students who were taking the same class could have different drop rules.
SenEx also stated it was afraid some students would not understand the consequences of withdrawing from a class if they were not required to obtain a signature.
Sousa said unless the school said otherwise, "W" was not a grade, but an administrative record. He said because teachers would no longer have to decide whether a student was passing or failing a class, the new system would actually be simpler.
Cindy Derritt, registrar at the Office of the University Registrar, said the new policy would be easy for the Registrar to implement. She said the Registrar could begin accepting drop slips without signatures immediately, but it would be at least 18 months before students could drop classes online after the third week of the semester because its programming staff was so backed up.
The AP&P will report its revised recommendations to SenEx after spring break. If SenEx approves the recommendations, they will be sent to full University Senate for approval before becoming policies.

Jun Kuribayashi's sore muscles tell a story.
"Every day you're injured."
Kuribayashi said last Thursday.
Performance returns dancer to roots
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Kuribayashi, a Lawrence native and KU alumnus, had just left an early morning massage in Florida — therapy for his aching body. But Kuribayashi has learned to cope with the pain. Mostly, because he has to. When you're a member of Pilobolus, an internationally-known dance company from Connecticut, a little bodily discomfort comes with the territory.
The pain might be easier for Kuribayashi to handle on Wednesday. Pilobolus, known for its exaggerated body contortions and physical interaction between performers, presents a five-piece program tonight at 7:30 at the Lied Center. That means Kuribayashi, who graduated from Lawrence High School in 1997, gets the opportunity to return home.
Lawrence is a special place to Kuribayashi. His mother still teaches piano here. He met his wife, Casey, here. This is where Kuribayashi began the dancing journey that has taken him all around the world.
In 2000, Kuribayashi was taking time off school and practicing Capoeira, a Brazilian mix of martial arts and dance. He was a staple in the Lawrence breakdancing circles, showing off his moves at Lawrence clubs such as the Granada.
"I wish we could do this every year," Kuribayashi said. "I'm sad that I'm only there on a Wednesday, just one night to perform."
One night a friend spotted Kuribayashi and asked him to do a demonstration of Capoeira in a University of Kansas world dance class.
Watching the day Kuribayashi gave the demonstration was Joan Stone, former department of music and dance director.
Stone saw a little talent and asked Kuiibayah if he'd ever consider enrolling in the department.

When: 7:30 p.m.
Where: Lied Center
What: A touring dance company known for its unorthodox choreography, Pilobolus will perform a five-piece program. The company, which hails from Connecticut, performed at the Academy Awards in 2007.

"I was just working," Kuribayashi said. "Just taking time off of school, so I said, 'Sure, I'd love to come dance.'"
Kuribayashi spent his childhood playing soccer, swimming and practicing gymnastics.
Jun Kuribayashi, Lawrence native and KU alumnus, began his dance career break-dancing and practicing Capoirea before studying in the department of music and dance. He will perform with the Pillolob Dance Theatre at 7:30 at the Lied Center.
Kuribayashi said dancing just seemed like a natural progression.
"It was just another way to stay active and have fun and be around beautiful ladies."
Well, it was for a while, at least.
Professor of dance Janet Hamburg watched as the new kid in the department turned heads.
"It took him a while to find his passion," Hamburg said.
Once he did, Kuribayashi's dance career took off.
"He had a natural fluidity of movement," Hamburg said. "He learned much more quickly because of that."
After five days of auditions Kuribayashi received a job offer. As it was, his dancing at the clubs came in handy and the dance company noticed his skill for improvisation. "I'd be at the clubs and I'd be dancing around these people," Kuribayashi said. "I'd constantly have to evolve my movements just so I didn't hit somebody that had a beer in their hand."
After nearly four years in the department, Kuribayashi had progressed so much that Hamburg sent him a notice about an audition in August 2004. Pilobolus, the unique dance company with the funky choreography, was holding tryouts in New York City.
After nearly four years of traveling and performing 48 weeks a year, Kuribayashi is finally returning to his hometown to perform a place he visits whenever he has time off.
The enigmatic personality that had caught the eye of faculty at the University also caught the eye of the Pilobolus members. The masses of other athletic and chiseled Pilobolus hopefuls didn't intimidate Kuribavashi.
"It's just sort of like a reunion of sorts," Kuribayashi, who has appeared on the cover of Dance Magazine, said.
Instead he just greeted everyone with a pleasant, "Hi my name is Jun, I'm from Kansas."
"You can't do this job without having a very understanding spouse." Kuribayashi said.
"Students think they're at a disadvantage," Hamburg said. "They think, 'I couldn't possibly go to New York.' He's a wonderful role model."
His family will be there tonight,
so will Hamburg and other department faculty members, and so will his sixth grade teacher and high school swimming coach.
Kuribayashi walked away from his morning massage refreshed. He said he was excited to fly back to Lawrence to celebrate his wife's birthday on Tuesday.
For the moment, his mind was free of thoughts about sore muscles and piercing pain.

Shuttle to deliver giant robot to space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
— Endeavour's seven astronauts jumped into their first full day in orbit Tuesday as the shuttle pursued the international space station to deliver a giant robot and the first piece of a new Japanese lab.
In a rare middle-of-the-night launch, the shuttle blasted off with an almost blinding flash. But the darkness meant fewer pictures than usual to look for signs of possible
damage to the spacecraft during the climb to orbit.
NASA knew the nighttime launch would come at a photographic cost. But past successes at preventing the shuttle's fuel tank from losing big chunks of foam insulation during liftoff and the accuracy of heat shield inspections convinced managers the night launch was a good choice.
A new photographic flash system embedded in a cavity in Endeavour's belly helped illuminate the external
fuel tank as it dropped away, empty, eight minutes into the flight.
Cameras captured only one significant piece of foam or other debris coming off Endeavour's tank, just more than a minute into the flight. It appeared to miss the right wing.
To be certain of that and to check for other possible damage, Endeavour's astronauts geared up for a slow-motion laser inspection late Tuesday of the shuttle wings and nose, the most vulnerable areas. The inspection has been standard procedure ever since the 2003 Columbia disaster in which seven astronauts died.

The three space station residents had to drastically shift their work and sleep hours in order to synch up their schedule with that of the shuttle crew, due to arrive at the orbiting outpost late tonight.
"We had an exciting trip to orbit ... and we're looking forward to our first full day in orbit," astronaut Michael Foreman told Mission Control after waking up in the late afternoon.
"I'd say good morning, but I don't know what time of day it is," the space station's commander, Peggy Whitson, told flight controllers late Tuesday afternoon. She said she and her crewmates were feeling fine, but added: "We'll see how we do at the end of the day."

The 10 space travelers face a staggering amount of work once their spacecraft link up. Five spacewalks are planned during Endeavour's visit, the first one getting under way Thursday night.
The spacewalking teams must assemble Canada's robot, Dextre, which was packed aboard Endeavour in nine pieces, and attach a Japanese storage compartment to the space station. It is the first installment of Japan's massive Kibo lab, which means Hope.

SAFETY
Break lends itself to burglary
Students can minimize chance of theft while out of town
OFF
ON
Contributed by Francesca Chambers
Simple home alarm systems are available for purchase at Target year-round for less than S20. Schuyler Bailey, Police Captain at the KU Public Safety Office, said alarm systems can deter thieves, but he said many people forget to set their home alarm systems when they leave.
RY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
fchambers@kansan.com
Schuyler Bailey, captain of the KU Public Safety Office, said KU students who were leaving town for spring break could follow several common-sense steps to minimize the risk of having their valuables stolen while they were gone.
LOCK UP
Jenny Rollwagen, Minneapolis freshman and resident of Naismith Hall, said she usually left her car open when she moved her things in and out of her dorm before break.
"I don't leave my computer out or anything, but if its just clothes, I don't think anyone would take clothes," Rollwagen said.
But Bailey said because a large number of students were moving items out of their residences, such a crime would be more likely to go unnoticed.
He said that students who lived in the dorms should be particularly concerned with this type of theft because it regularly occurred there.
Bailey also said some thieves walked down dorm halls looking for doors that were unlocked.
He said that occasionally drunk students looking for someone would wander into a room, but that usually it was people looking for something to steal.
"Which is why we strive so hard to repeat that even if you are in your dorm, lock your door," Bailey said.
He said he did not know how commonly this occurred off campus, but he said if it happened in the dorms, he would imagine it happens elsewhere.
Rollwagen said she has had people open her door in the middle of the night, but as far as she knew, drunk friends had always been the perpetrators. She said she would lock her door and take her valuables home over break, but she felt confident that the staff of Naismith would protect the residence hall.
because there's a bunch of newspapers stacked up," Bailey said. "It's a real quick giveaway no one is at home."
GET AN ALARM
Bailey said alarms can come in handy, but only if students remembered to set them. He also said students who installed alarms would need to find someone who would be responsible for the alarm if it went off.
Bailey said students should check with their apartment complexes before installing alarms.
Scott Martin, Northbrooke, Ill., senior, said he did not know anyone who has had their apartment broken into, but he was still worried about a
break-in because he owns a number of expensive items.
Martin said his apartment is equipped with an alarm system but he has not activated it because it would cost him money to do so. Martin compared paying to have his alarm system activated and actually having a break-in to buying a winning lottery ticket.
"What are the chances?" Martin said. "It's just another bill coming in."
Two types of alarms that stick onto doors and windows via double-sided adhesive tape and do not require tools for installation can be bought from Target for less than $20.

Provost to review permit plan
PARK & RIDE
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
The KU Parking Commission voted 5 to 1 to approve a recommendation to decrease the price of Park and Ride permits. The proposal would decrease the Park and Ride cost from $205 to $100 and increase the price of every other parking permit by $30, except for reserved permits and garage gold permits, which would increase by $100 and $50.
If KU Provost Richard Lariviere approves the recommendations, which he should receive today, the price changes would go into effect next fall.
"We want to lower the Park & Ride permit so that it becomes the cheapest option," Hultine said. "There's a culture here and we're trying to shift the culture in small bites."
Hultine said that this would be the last time parking permits would be increased for a few years.
The goal of the proposal is to motivate more students to choose Park and Ride rather than parking on campus, said Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit.
"If we can bring in at least $300.000, I'm confident we won't have to ask for an increase anytime soon," she said.
The Parking Department projects that the changes would increase its revenue by more than $315,000.
Bailey said that students should either have their mail stopped while they are on break or arrange for someone to pick it up for them.
Hultine said the department would use $160,000 of that amount to operate two new buses on the Park and Ride route. The rest would go toward other expenses such as paying for the increasing cost of fuel and parking lot maintenance.
Kathy Reed, the only dissenting voter at the meeting, said she didn't think the price changes were fair to faculty.
"These increases are very high for those poor folks who are just trying to make a living," she said. "The reality of it is that we won't utilize Park and Ride as much as you expect us to."
Hultine said that because parking on campus is so limited, there were few other solutions to decreasing the parking congestion on campus.
"We have to come to terms with the fact that we're not getting any new parking," she said. "We see where the administration's priorities are and we know that we're
most likely going to continue to lose parking."
Tuesday's Parking Commission meeting also included discussions about the possibility of allowing all students and faculty to have free access to all KU buses.
If the proposal passes through either Student Senate or the next student referendum on April 9, it would require a $20 to $25 increase to individual student fees. Danny Kaiser, assistant director to Parking & Transit, said the department would be willing to contribute about $1.4 million to help pay for the proposal.
"It will serve as a statement that institutionally we are willing to put down this kind of investment for students so that they aren't paying for all of it with student fees," he said.
Only 22.8 percent of KU students currently use bus passes, according to statistics provided by the Registrar's office and Parking and Transit, but Hultine said she expects to see a 20 percent increase in ridership if students were given free access.

Admiral in charge of Middle East retires
BY ROBERT BURNS ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Any time you are out for a walk you say, 'Oh, they're not home
WASHINGTON - The Navy admiral in charge of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan announced Tuesday that he was resigning following press reports portraying him as opposed to President Bush's Iran policy.
Adm. William J. Fallon, one of the most experienced officers in the U.S. military, said the reports were wrong but had become a distraction hampering his efforts in the Middle East. Fallon's area of responsibility
includes Iran and stretches from Central Asia across the Middle East to the Horn of Africa.
"I don't believe there have ever been any differences about the objectives of our policy in the Central Command area of responsibility," Fallon said, and he regretted "the simple perception that there is." He was in Iraq when he made the statement.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates told a Pentagon news conference that he accepted Fallon's request to resign and retire from the Navy, agreeing that the Iran issue had
become a distraction. But Gates said repeatedly that he believed talk of Fallon opposing Bush on Iran was mistaken.
"I don't think that there really were differences at all," Gates said, adding that Fallon was not pressured to leave.
"He told me that, quote. 'The current embarrassing situation, public perception of differences between my views and administration policy, and the distraction this causes from the mission make this the right thing to do,' unquote," Gates told reporters.
MIDDLE EAST Critics blame Musharraf for inability to stop violence
Musharraf quickly condemned the "savage" bombings, which ripped through a police headquarters and a business located near a house belonging to Bhutto's widower. The president said in a statement that the government would continue to fight terrorism "with full force."
But some enraged Lahore residents blamed Musharraf. They gathered in small groups Tuesday on the city's main Mall Road, chanting "Musharraf is a dog! Musharraf is a pimp!"
LAHORE, Pakistan — Pakistan's crisis deepened after two suicide bombings killed 24 people and wounded more than 200 in this normally peaceful city Tuesday, and pressure grew for more dialogue with militants as a new government prepares to take office.
It was the first major act of terrorism since former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party announced over the weekend that they would form a coalition government aimed at reducing the powers of President Pervez Musharraf, a U.S. ally.
With such attacks now spreading from unruly tribal regions to the eastern cultural capital of Lahore, an increasing number of Pakistani are questioning Musharraf's approach to countering al-Qaida and the Taliban. Musharraf's opponents say punitive military action has only fueled the violence.
The winners of last month's elections accused the former army strongman of destabilizing the country with military operations against militants near the Afghan border and even suggested that rogue forces were trying to undermine Pakistan's return to democracy.

Basketball IQ doesn't win championships
BY ASHER FUSCO
AFUSCO KANSAN.COM
When March arrives talent beats experience
College basketball's conference tournament season has begun, so I don't get outside to enjoy the weather much these days. No big deal. My TV tells me March has arrived.
Basketball analysts have started pulling out the platitudes, trumpeting intangibles such as 'grit' and 'determination' and tossing around vague terms like 'veteran leadership.'
Expert A believes Villanova will succeed in March because its players are 'tough-minded.' Expert B likes the Kentucky Wildcats better — after all, they've displayed 'tremendous heart' this season!
But what if intigibles — namely experience
really do play a part in Marvel's movies?
College basketball statistics Web site www.kenpom.com computes the average number of years of experience on each team's roster. If age has as great a correlation to success as the analysts say it does, the numbers should serve as an easy way to handicap this month's conference and NCAA tournaments.
AT HOME ON THE HARDCOURT
The statistics say the Big 12 is a very young conference. Kansas is the league's most experienced team but ranks just 51st nationally. Texas A&M and Oklahoma are in the middle of the conferences pack in terms of age but are around the 35th percentile of teams across the country.
The stats also show very little connection between regular season success and experience. Although Kansas is both the conference's top-ranked team and its oldest, bottom-feeder such as Missouri and Colorado are in the top five when ranked in order of basketball maturity. Texas and Kansas State, two of the leagues top three teams, sit at the bottom of the Big 12's experience ladder.
Similar inconsistencies appear in the nationwide data. Of the top 10 most battle-tested teams, only one — Washington State — is in line for an at-large NCAA tournament berth. Several teams with respective résumes, such as Florida, Syracuse and USC, are among the five youngest squads in the nation (out of 341 teams).
Bottom line, there isn't any reason to assume a veteran team holds an edge over a group of youngsters. Kansas State freshman forwards Michael Beasley and Bill Walker proved that when they dismantled an upper-classmen-heavy Kansas team in January.
Colorado proved it when it finished last in the Big 12 despite having three seniors in its starting lineup. The makeup of the All-Big 12 first team reinforces the point: two freshmen, two sophomores, two juniors, and no seniors.
Who knows? Maybe the wisdom of experience does pay dividends come tourney time. Perhaps veteran-laced Colorado simply spent the conference season purposefully gliding under the radar at 3-13. Could Texas Tech be gearing up for a furious run through March on the shoulders of the seniors that lost by 58 points at Allen Fieldhouse?
The age numbers don't bode well for Kansas State and Texas, but the teams' résumés speak for themselves. Kansas State struggled down the stretch but snared 10 victories in one of the nation's top three conferences, and it's unlikely a freshman sensation like Beasley is going to turn into a pumpkin when the clock hits midnight and the postseason begins. On top of dispatching Kansas and Kansas State in conference play, Texas defeated probable No. 1 seeds UCLA and Tennessee away from home.
Sure, older teams can fare well. Much of Kansas' success stems from its stellar senior class and an ultra-talented batch of juniors. Last season's Florida team got most of its minutes from seniors and took home the national championship.
The analysts love seniors and can't get enough of players who have honed their basketball IQ over the years. But March isn't all about smarts. March — and every other month on the college basketball calendar
is all about talent.

New York state of mind
Robinson came to the plains from the concrete jungle
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
Russell Robinson walked down the hallway at Allen Fieldhouse before practice three weeks ago, a KU cap snug on his head and Jayhawk warm-ups covering his body. He was draped in blue and red except for the pink and green can he sipped from in his right hand.
The drink? Arizona Iceed Tea, a staple for New York City basketball players.
"Those cans are so big and only cost a dollar," Robinson said. "When you're in the park and you're thirsty."
park and you're thirsty,
it doesn't cost a lot and
gives you a lot of juice."
That's Russell Robinson. No matter how Kansas he is, he'll always have a part of New York City with him.
Robinson spent most of his childhood living in Harlem and the Bronx, where he fell in love with the hectic race
unquestioned toughness.
"As crowded as it was, I felt like I had my own space. It was a big borough. I knew a lot of people and at one point a lot of people knew me."
of city life, where his parents sheltered him from the sometimes-violent streets and where he learned to play basketball with an
Living in New York gave Robinson an edge, a streak of willpower that prevented him from giving up after a rocky transition as a freshman and made him who he is today, a senior on the verge of graduating and leading his team on what he hopes is a successful NCAA tournament run while at the same time preparing for his next phase in life, whether it takes him back to New York or to the other side of the world.
RUSSELL ROBINSON Senior guard
LIFE IN THE CITY The rap and Latin music
tin music started playing early, sometimes just after dawn.
It sounded through the morning air in harmony with the almost nonstop honking of cars from the Grand Concourse up to Robinson's room in his mom's Bronx apartment. Outside that window, he could see the zooming cars, delis, hodgegas, a McDonalds
other high-rise apartments and of course, people — tons of people, on top of each other.
"As crowd- ed as it was," Robinson said, "I felt like I had my own space. It was a big borough, I knew a lot of people and at one point a lot of people knew me."
This is how Robinson liked it. He lived in Harlem until he was nine, before his dad, Russell Robinson Sr., moved first to Texas and then to North Carolina for sergeant duty in the military. Robinson, whose parents divorced when he was nine, tagged along with Russell Sr. because his parents thought the fresh air might clear his asthma. The open space relaxed Robinson, but he preferred the congestion.
Heloved the action of New York Robinson shopped for clothes at Sammy's and other stores along Fordham Road, balled at Rucker Park or any of the best playgrounds in the five boroughs, dined with his mom at Stefan's or spent a quiet day at the Museum of Natural
By junior high, he was asthma-free and back in the city. Russell Sr. and Theresa Robinson, his mother, each moved into Bronx apartments, and Robinson split time between their homes.
History
Sometimes,
Robinson even visited the
of Liberty, the Fayette State
Statue of Liberty, the Empire State building or other tourist attractions.
"I love the fact there's always something to do," he said. "Busy, busy, busy, busy. I like hustle and bustle. I like having to do this at this time. You have everything right there at your fingertips.
"I love it."
It didn't have to be that way. Robinson and his family lived at 129th Street in Harlem until he turned nine. Gunshots often rang at night. Drug dealers and winos sometimes gathered on nearby sidewalks.
Theresa and Russell Sr. kept Robinson away from the madness back then by keeping him busy. Monday through Friday meant school, followed by time with a baby

First-round victory advances Kansas in Big 12
BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The story for Kansas in its last five losses could be told in four minutes. That is, no matter what the halftime score was, the Jayhawks lackluster performance in the first four minutes of the second half doomed them to defeat.
Tuesday night, instead of giving up a run, Kansas dealt the blows in those crucial min-

utes out of the break, hitting Nebraska with an 11-4 run.
The senior shot a perfect 5-for-5 from the field, 3-of-3 from the free-throw line and hauled in a game high 11 rebounds.
"I just felt loose and ready to play," McIntosh said. "I knew this might be our last conference game so just leave it out on the floor and have no regrets."
However, McIntosh played only 26 minutes because of foul trouble, eventually fouling
This is the second straight season Kansas won its first- round game of the Big 12 tournament as the No.11 seed.

Henrickson's superstitious halftime routine was successful and she said she planned to use it again tonight when Kansas tips off with Oklahoma State in the second round at 8:30.
Sophomore guard Kelly Kohn and junior guard Katie Smith celebrate with the rest of the Jayhawks following their 73-67 victory against Nebraska Tuesday night at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. The Jayhawks advance to the second round of the Bio 12 Tournament. They face Oklahoma State tonight at 8:40.
"What we did is, normally when we come out of the locker room to start the game, all the coaches are out, we knock on the door and high five them all," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "So, as strange as it sounds, we did the same thing coming out of halftime. I said, 'Stay right here, we're going to go outside and pound on the door and give you high fives like the start of the game.'"
Jon Goering/KANSAN
Leading the Jayhawks was forward Taylor McIntosh. McIntosh was possessed Tuesday
out with 4.25 remaining.
Right before McIntosh's
exit, sophomore guard
Kelly Kohn drilled a three-
pointer from the corner to
put Kansas up 64-52.
"I don't know if I can tell you how great it felt," Kohn said of the shot.
Free throws kept the Cornhuskers in the game but missed layups prevented them from getting over the hump. Nebraska was 22-for-28 from the free-throw line but missed 19 shots within three feet.
With the game on the line, sophomore guard Sade Morris did her best McIntosh impersonation, putting the team on her shoulders and carrying them to victory.
"That was a huge, monster board in the middle of the lane that she grabbed and that's game changing." Henrickson said. "You can probably look at three or four of her plays that were game changing and that's why we won."
With just less than two minutes left, Morris grabbed sophomore guard Danielle McCray's missed three-pointer and put it back to push the lead to nine. Then, as the shot clock neared zero, Morris hit a driving shot in the lane to make the lead 70-64 and effectively ice the game.
McCray and sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs hit the final free throws to get Kansas out with a victory. The victory, Henrickson said, locked up a WNIT bid for Kansas, but
right now its focus is on Oklahoma State and sophomore guard Andrea Rilew.
"Riley's been a matchup nightmare for everybody all year," Henrickson said. "The kids are excited and they obviously respect Oklahoma State, but I think our confidence is big and we believe we can get it done."

Chiefs sign free agent for open wide receiver spot
Kennison, 35, played for the Chiefs for seven seasons and was their top receiver for most of that time. But last season, he was limited by hamstring and shoulder injuries to only eight games, catching 13 passes for 101 yards.
Devaughn Darling died in 2001 at the age of 18 of an apparent cardiac arrhythmia during an off-season workout at Florida State.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs agreed to terms Tuesday with free agent wide receiver Devard Darling, shoring up the team's receiving corps after the release of Eddie Kennison.
Darling, Baltimore's third-round pick in 2014, played in 30 games in four seasons for the Ravens, catching 20 passes for 331 yards with three touchdowns. Eighteen of those catches came in 2007.

Prosecutor suspended for special treatment of Nuggets forward
DENVER — A Denver city prosecutor was suspended when Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin was allowed to keep his driver's license despite receiving two tickets for going over 100 mph.
In the second instance, Martin's case was transferred to Stone after another prosecutor offered a plea deal that would have led to a license revocation, according to the documents and officials.
Daniel Recht, an attorney in the firm representing Martin, said defense attorneys did nothing wrong. He told the Rocky Mountain News the firm defended Martin "ethically, competently and aggressively."
In the first case, the initial plea agreement would have meant revocation of Martin's license. His attorneys then negotiated a new agreement, according to court documents and city officials.
DiCrone said the prosecutor who handled the cases, Russell Stone, was suspended for three days without pay. Stone, who lost an appeal of the punishment, said he was not allowed to comment under city attorney's office rules.
Martin's plea deals, first reported in January by KMGH-TV, stemmed from tickets written in 2006 for going 101 mph in a 30 mph zone and 103 mph in a 55 mph zone.
"At a minimum ... there's an appearance that (Martin) did receive preferential treatment," said Vince DICroce, the top prosecutor at the Denver city attorney's office.
Nuggets spokesman Eric Sebastian said neither Martin nor the team would comment.

HIGH SCHOOLS Committee adds rule against sports official discrimination
TOPEKA — The Kansas State High School Activities Association's executive committee has approved two proposals to prevent its member and approved schools from discriminating against sports officials.
The association's nine-member board unanimously approved a proposal to add to its handbook a position statement and a rule requiring member schools to accept qualified officials regardless of gender, race or religious beliefs.
The proposals came after St. Mary's Academy near Topeka refused to allow official Michelle Campbell to work a Feb. 2 boys basketball game at the school because she was a woman.
The association's board of directors will vote on the proposals on April 11. The new rule would go into effect for the 2008-09 school year, if approved.

Senior left fielder John Allman dives back into first base safely Tuesday afternoon after getting a hit. Allman went two-for-two hitting, scored two runs and contributed a three-run home run in the first inning, Kansas defeated Tabor College 8-1.
With warm, sunny weather setting the scene, the Jayhawks got off to an explosive start Tuesday against the Tabor College Bluejays at Hogland Ballpark.
In his first start for the lajawhacks (9-5), senior right hander Hiaral Garcia sent the Bluejays (5-12) down in order in the first and set the tone for what would lie ahead.
Leading off the bottom of the first with back-to-back bunt singles by junior center fielder Nick Fauce and sophomore second baseman Robby Price, senior left fielder John Allman took the plate and crushed a deep shot to left field to give Kansas a 3-10 lead.
"I was looking for something middle ten and something I could put a good swing on," Allman said. "I got a ball that was elevated enough and was able to put it over the fence. It was a good job of those first two guys getting on base and getting in scoring position."
The Jayhawks managed to carry the momentum into the top of the third inning, when Bluejays junior first baseman Alfred Wilson tripled, scoring junior second baseman Travis Schafer.
With the Bluejays climbing back into the game 3-1, the Jayhawks responded in the next half-inning. After an Allman walk, junior first baseman Preston Land sent a ball screaming down the left-field line for a double and put two runners in scoring position. The next batter to the plate was senior right fielder Ryne Price, who got an RBI on a one-hopper to the Tabor second baseman.
The Jayhawks would add another run when Land came around to score on a wild pitch and finished the inning up by four.
The Bluejays continued to go quietly as the Jayhawk bullpen ran
through a number of its pitchers to silence Tabor's bats.
Allman led the Jayhawks, who had 10 hits, at the plate, going 2-2 on the day with two BB, three RBI and a home run.
With the bats cooling, senior shortstop Erik Morrison re-energized the team with a solo shot to left in the sixth. Morrison's home run marked his first of the season and the 24th of his career as a lawkawk.
"I normally struggle with guys who throw mid-70s to low 80s," Morrison said. "I got lucky and caught one that hung up inside and I guess I put a decent swing on it."
In the eighth inning, after a double from freshman left fielder Blake Slage moved sophomore second baseman Robby Price to third, senior first basemen Justin Ellrich singled home both runners.
The offensive effort was more than enough, as the Hawks finished off the Bluejays 8-1, giving Garcia his first win of the season.
Other than just getting a victory, the day proved to be beneficial, as 19 position players saw playing time and
six different pitchers took the mound.
the cartoonists took the mound.
"These games are very helpful," Land said. "It's a good opportunity for some of our younger guys to get in and get some playing time."
While these games may seem to be blowouts to the average fan, coach Ritch Price thinks differently.
"I think they are a lot better than a practice," Price said. "You're playing these games to try and give the opportunity to some of your young guys to emerge. For us today it was an important outing for T.J. Walz. He has struggled after Christmas and hasn't been sharp in the games he has been in and today he goes out there and threw the ball like the guy we thought were recruiting and that is important for him. It gave him a chance to gain some confidence."
The Jayhawks got their seventh win in a row and will try to keep momentum going to Missouri State today and then head to Austin on Friday to face the Longhorns at 6:05 p.m. in the first game of a three-game weekend series.

Baseball Notes
Milestone watch
With the victory against Tabor, Kansas coach Ritch Price recorded his 800th career victory, spanning the all way back to his first season at Phoenix High School (Phoenix, Ore.) in 1978. In his 30-year coaching career, Price has coached at Phoenix High School, Jasper High School (Jasper, Texas), Menlo College (Atherton, Calif.), DeAnza Community College (Cupertino, Calif.), and Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo, Calif.) before coming to Kansas in 2003. Price's career winning percentage is .572 and he's just one victory shy of his 400th as a Division I coach.
Senior shortstop Erik Morrison inched closer to pulling even with fellow senior Ryne Price on Kansas'
all-time home run list. Morrison hit his first home run of the season and 25th of his career in the bottom of the sixth Tuesday, putting him four home runs behind Travis Metcalf, who holds the all-time home run record. Price, who entered the season tied with Morrison, has two home runs this season and is three behind Metcalf.

sitter or at the YMCA while Theresa and Russell Sr. worked. Weekends included basketball, art classes, church and other family activities.
"I was almost overprotective," Theresa said. "It was just about being really involved with what he was doing and keeping him busy and organized."
The violence and drugs rarely infiltrated Theresa and Russell St.'s middle-class Bronx neighborhoods, but surrounding areas weren't as safe. Russell St. can't remember his son ever getting into trouble, but trouble never lingered too far away.
Shortly after Robinson returned to New York as a seventh grader, he heard about the drug-related arrest of a ninth-grade friend.
"An undercover cop," Robinson said. "It was like straight out of a movie."
His friend was caught up in a drug business that was tied to murders, and he landed a 21-year prison sentence.
"He was a good kid." Robinson said. "He just wanted to make money and be cool."
That was the exception for
That was in Robinson's friends. He surrounded himself with classmates who wanted to go to college and stay away from the negative influences of the city. They went to movies, hung out at people's houses and played basketball on the
weekends, instead of spending time on the street or at dangerous clubs
Robinson knew about the other side but stayed distracted from it.
"Living in a city with eight million people," Russell Sr. said, "you kind of get an edge. Living in that city gives you an edge to survive because you're going up against obstacles every day."
Thud. Thud. Thud.
BASKETBALL WAS EVERYTHING
"The other kids would want to fight him in the tournaments on the street. You had to be tough."
The leather ball would bounce against the floor for hours in the Robinson household.
Robinson started dribbling a little Spalding basketball before he even entered kindergarten. When he didn't carry around his basketball, he played with a football. He tried dribbling it, too.
Robinson dabbled in art to emulate his older brother, Quentin, but Theresa could tell that sports meant the world to him. She started taking Robinson to the park next to Harlem Hospital, where she worked as the assistant to the director, and would watch him out her window.
notable New Yorkers
As Robinson got older, he went to the playgrounds more often, playing "all day, every day." The hoops Mecca that is New York gave Robinson the opportunity to play almost anywhere, anytime, and against the best competition.
Hed travel with his Amateur Athletic Union team, the Gauchos, from playground to playground, gym to gym, across the different boroughs on weekends in junior high and high school. They'd compete until they lost and move on, playing at least four games of serious basketball on those days.
Robinson is one of five KU players who have come out of New York City since 1946. Here are the other four:
Tim Banks 1983-1984
Terry Brown 1990-1991
Art Housey 1980-1981
Ron Johnston 1955-1957
"The other kids would want to fight him in the tournaments on the street," Theresa said. "You had to be tough."
THERESA ROBINSON Russell Robinson's mother
Robinson's game progressed further at Rice High School, a Christian Brothers school in Central Harlem, where he earned a full scholarship. He started on varsity as a freshman at Rice, something almost unheard of at a New York City high school. The city's only other freshman starter that year was Lincoln's Sebastian
Telfair, who later became the first point guard to enter the NBA Draft out of high school.
In Robinson's second season, his team got the better of Telfair's. Rice defeated Lincoln in the state semifinal
and then won state. His Gauchos AAU team also won two national titles.
Much of Robinson's success stemmed from the "edge" his father talked about. Few players brought as much toughness as Robinson. He even played in the post his first two years at Rice.
"I was 6-1 and played like I was 6-5," Robinson said. "You have to find a way to stand out and mine was being tougher than everybody else."
The banging took its toll on Robinson's body. He broke both ankles and both wrists and suffered chronic shin splints.
But pain never bothered Robinson. Russell Sr. found that out one summer day.
Russell Sr. ran from the bleachers to check on his son.
"Hey", Russell Sr. told him, "let's go to the doctor."
Robinson wouldn't even consider leaving. He played the rest of the game, and his team won. His father finally convinced him to get stitches afterwards.
The toughness attracted college recruiters. Robinson seemed destined for a Big East or ACC school until he met Norm Roberts, then a KU assistant coach. Roberts' New York ties made Robinson feel comfortable with the idea of going to Kansas.
More than five years later, Russell Sr. still calls it a "wow" moment.
"He played drinking his own blood," Russell Sr. said.
Roberts felt the same connection and liked Robinson more every time he saw him play. His last two years of high school, Robinson was a gunner who averaged 22 points a game, but Roberts also saw defense and unselfishness. One game, Roberts said Robinson got 15 steals.
"The bigger the game," Roberts said, "the better he played. He just got more focused."
Robinson signed with the Jayhawks in November of his senior year. After Roberts left to become coach at St. John's, Robinson honored his commitment. He was going to move far from his New York haven to a foreign place, Lawrence.
GROWING PAINS
Two weeks after Robinson got settled into his Jayhawker Towers apartment freshman year, he called his dad with an urgent message. Robinson told him to send a package of belongings from his room at home. Shoes. Clothes. Posters. Pictures. Basketball trophies. If something reminded Robinson of his hometown, he wanted it.
"I was basically trying to bring New York here," Robinson said.
Lawrence just wasn't the Bronx. The nearby shops and malls didn't fit Robinson's fashion tastes. He didn't like the restaurants and couldn't understand why so many people ate sushi. The laid-back pace didn't suit Robinson like the hustle and bustle of New York did.
Robinson rarely did back home.
Where he grew up,
basketball dominated nearly every part of life.
His teammates seemed like they were from another planet, too. They went out on weekends, something
"I remember feeling left out," Robinson said. "I was used to having everything at my fingertips when I wanted it.
Robinson stayed at his apartment and played video games most weekends and didn't communicate often with teammates. He didn't even like to call home because it made him miss New York even more. Theresa tried to encourage him by sending him poems. Nothing worked.
Homesickness worsened when Robinson's successful start to the season turned sour. A turnover problem moved Robinson from first guard off the bench to seldom-used reserve. He didn't play in nearly half the games the final two months of the year.
"It was hard to connect with him," senior guard Jeremy Case said. "He didn't really say a whole lot. Because he was homesick, he kind of kept to himself and talked on the phone a lot."
After the season, rumors swirled that Robinson might transfer. His minutes had dropped, and his good friend and roommate Alex Galindo had already left the team. Self had helped recruit him the year before, but Robinson said he didn't quite relate to Self early on like he did to Roberts.

Robinson could've given up and listened to friends who wanted him to transfer to a Big East school closer to home. He said he never even considered it.

"I chose KU for a reason," Robinson said. "Even though I was maybe upset at the time or disappointed, I still came here. I wanted to be here. I didn't want to be known as a quitter. I wanted to prove it to myself and my family that I could stay here."
That summer Robinson didn't return to New York once. He worked out every day and added 15 pounds of muscle. Lawrence became his home, too. Robinson started opening up to teammates and coaches, going out more and enjoying Lawrence food, even sushi.
Senior guard Russell Robinson's leadership has been crucial for the Jayhawks' success. Robinson had trouble adapting to his life in Lawrence, but he decided not to quit and to honor his commitment to Kansas instead.
The next season, Robinson became a leader for a starting lineup that included three freshmen. The past three years, he's started every game except two, developed a reputation as one of the best defensive guards in the country and helped

away from graduating with a degree in communications, three victories away from another Big 12 tournament title and a solid NCAA tournament run away from a possible Final Four. What seemed like a nightmare three years ago is now a dream.
"The toughness that he learned from New York, that you have to make it and not give up," Theresa said, "that's how he persevered."
READY TO MOVE ON
people tell Robinson all the time that he should be a coach.
His dad, KU coaches. Friends. Rice High School coach Maurice Hicks. They all think he be a natural. Robinson's not so sure.
"Coaching makes you crazy if you ask me," he said.
Robinson will have to decide quickly what he wants to do after his Jayhawk career ends. More than likely, his future will include professional basketball of some kind. Robinson intends to play somewhere, even
if he has to go overseas. An NBA executive, who insisted on anonymity, said Robinson's NBA stock could vary depending on Kansas' postseason run. He liked Robinson's toughness and strength but wondered if he had enough talent to make it in the league.
After basketball, Robinson talked about being a sports agent or an entrepreneur. Theresa and Russell Sr. think their son might try teaching kids in the inner city.
"He really loves kids," Theresa said, "and he likes to set examples, so I know he could be a good role model. He could show them how to achieve and not give up."
Really, Robinson has just one preference for his future.
"Whatever I do, I want to find my way back to New York," Robinson said. "I kind of feel like there's no place like New York. It's going to be hard to stay away from that city."

McIntosh's energy lifts team to victory
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Taylor McIntosh couldn't stand the thought of six consecutive losses to conclude her senior season. Her performance in Tuesday night's 73-67 victory against Nebraska certainly showed how determined she was to stop Kansas' slide.
"I just felt loose and ready to play," she said. "OK, this might be our last conference game but just leave it out on the floor and have no regrets. I felt it and I think my teammates fed off of my energy."

With season-leading scorer Danielle McCray held scoreless in the first half, Kansas relied on McIntosh to provide offensive punch. She responded by scoring seven points and ripping down seven rebounds in the first 20 minutes to pace the Jayhawks. It was exactly the kind of response coach Bonnie Henrickson needed from her most experienced player.
Against Nebraska's dominating post duo of senior Danielle Page and junior Kelsey Giffin, McIntosh showed why she has started 115 of 118 games for Henrickson in four years. Nearly every loose ball

Federer Express derails Pistol Pete in exhibition match
NET TS NE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roger Federer of Switzerland returns to Pete Sampras of the U.S. during the first set of their exhibition tennis match at Madison Square Garden in New York. Federer won the match.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Past and present stood across the net from each other during a third-set tiebreaker at Madison Square Garden.
On one end, a winded Pete Sampras tried to summon enough energy to give the New York fans another memorable win to talk about it on the subway ride home. On the other side, Roger Federer wore a sly grin like he knew age was about to catch up to the former world No. 1 — the man who owns the record of 14 Grand Slams he wants.
Current No. 1 Federer emerged with a 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (6) victory Monday night in an exhibition match.
For nearly 2 1/2 hours, before an
occasionally raucous gathering of 19,690, these two living, breathing greats of their game shared a court. It was Pistol Pete vs. The Federer Express.
The encounter doesn't settle the "Who is better?" debate, given that one participant is 26 and the other is 36, nothing more than bragging rights was on the line, and who can know how hard each was really trying?
It did, however, raise tennis' profile and allow people to say they saw Sampras, the best of his generation, face Federer, the best of his.
"This is maybe why so many people came out: You don't often get the No. 1 in his prime playing against maybe the greatest player of all time," said Federer.
It was the fourth Federer-Sampras exhibition; Federer won two of their three matches in Asia late last year. They left open the possibility of another, with Sampras deferring to whatever Federer wanted to do.
The two only played one real match, back at Wimbledon in 2001, when an up-and-coming Federer edged on the way-out Sampras in a five-setter on Centre Court.
That ended Sampras' 31-match winning streak at the All England Club. Federer would go on to win five in a row at Wimbledon, a streak he will try to extend this summer.
Sampras never played a professional match after winning his last Grand Slam trophy at the 2002 U.S. Open. Federer's Slam count is already up to 12.

The Flames' captain one-timed a pass from Kristian Huselius and had the puck go in off the backside of Blues defenseman Eric Brewer and behind Manny Legace at 18:27 of the first period.

"It's a really good feeling," said Iginla. "A nice one-time pass from 'Juice' and I got a break with it going off of their guy's backside and in. I'll take them all."

Brad Boyes scored twice and David Backes added one for St. Louis, which is 1-8-1 in its last 10 games.
"It's frustrating, we had such a great start and we've been pretty much pissing it away in the last two months," said Legace, who was pulled after the first period having given up three goals on 11 shots.
He admitted he was stunned when goaltending coach Rick Walmsley told him Hannu Toivonen was taking over.
"It was shocking, three goals
were deflected off my defensemen," Legace said. "You can't do much when it goes off your defensemen."
Ttoivonen didn't fare much better, giving up three goals on 18 shots.
Calgary now heads out on a fourgame road trip as the leader in the Northwest Division.
"We've got to stick with it," Lombardi said. "It's going to be a
really tough schedule coming up but besides this road trip, we're playing mostly division teams so it's in our hands and we can control it, which is nice."
BIG 12 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alyssa Hollins scored 10 points in overtime to help Missouri upset N. 13 Oklahoma 70-64 Tuesday in the first round of the Big 12 women's tournament.
The Tigers, who finished last in the Big 12 with only two conference wins, became the first 12 seed to advance past the first round. They will face fourth-seeded Texas A&M on Wednesday.
Oklahoma took a 53-50 lead on Courtney Paris' layup with just over a minute remaining in regulation. She was fouled on the shot, but missed a free throw that would have put the Sooners up by four.
- A three-pointer by Amanda Hanneman with 15 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime.
Hanneman had a clear path to the basket but instead pulled up for the game-tying three-pointer. Oklahoma couldn't get a shot off in the final 13 seconds, sending the pro-Missouri crowd into a frenzy and the game into overtime.
After Ashley Paris put Oklahoma up by two to start overtime. Hollins hit a three-pointer, a jumper and two free throws to put Missouri (10-20) up 60-55.
Courtney Paris had 30 points and 20 rebounds for Oklahoma (21-8), which was going for its third straight conference tournament title.
It was the first time Missouri had scored at least 70 points since a 77-72 loss to Marshall on Dec. 28.
Danielle Robinson, Big 12 Freshman of the Year, finished with nine points for Oklahoma.

INTRAMURALS
Phi Delt 1 defeats Phi Psi 1 for 38-35 championship
BY WHITNEY HAMILTON whamilton@kansan.com
Size had been a major factor in Phi Delt 1's winning streak and the men's Greek intramural championship game against Phi Psi 1 on Tuesday night was no exception. Phi Delt 1 players were always waiting underneath the basket ready to rebound and used their size to charge through Phi Psi 1. Both teams kept teammates and fans at the edge of their seats the last two minutes of the close game, but Phi Psi 1 came up short and Phi Delt 1 won the game 38-35.
Before the game even started, the tension filled the room as members of each team's fraternity grouped together on either side of the gym to show their loyalty. The teams practiced shooting layups and Phi Psi 1 players went on a continuous run making three-pointer
after three-pointer.
A technical foul was called on J.D. Christie, Shawnee Mission sophomore and Phi Delt 1 player, because he had worn a wristband during the game. The crowd booed and shouted at the call and watched as Roger Struble, Salina junior, made two technical free throws. As play resumed again, Jack Swab, Tulsa, Okla., senior, hit a three-point basket at the top of the arc.
The fans added to the heated atmosphere and got more rowdy as the game continued. After an air ball from a Phi Psi 1 player, Phi Delt L'1's fan screamed "air ball" to shake up the player. Shortly after, Phi Delt 1 got the fate and the Phi Psi 1 fans were sure to remind the player of his mishap.
Stephen Blumhardt, Leawood sophomore and Phi Psi 1 player, faked out his opponent and scored two points close to the baseline. With only 4:33
The high energy of the second half began as soon as the clock started play and players from the Phi Psi 1 sidelines reminded teammates to "D-up" on the defense. The referees watched closely during the game and called many fouls during the second half.
minutes left of the first half, the score was low and Phi Delt 1 was winning by two points. By the end of the first half, both teams had gained two more points, but Phi Delt 1 was still winning. Phi Delt 1 players walked off the court satisfied with the first half as they glanced at the scoreboard highlighting the two-point lead.
lost the ball causing a turnover and players hurried to return to the other side of the court. When Brian Tagg, Prairie Village sophomore and Phi Psi 1 player, blocked a shot from Christie, Phi Psi 1 got back into the swing of the game. It tied the score at 16 and gave Phi Delt 1 a reason to fight harder and be more defensive.
Swab was fouled for pushing a Phi Psi 1 player, which gave Phi Psi 1 possession of the ball. Thirty seconds later, Swab received his second foul. This fed Phi Delt 1' s anger as players scrambled for the ball and stayed close to the basket for a rebound. Phi Psi 1
It was hard for Phi Psi 1 to rebound the ball in the second half and even when reaching for the ball, Phi Delt 1 players grabbed the ball faster. Phi Psi 1 fell victim to turnovers during the half which made it easy for Phi Delt 1 players to take their time with the ball and have more chances to make baskets.
"We tried to rotate more substitutes and make shots," Tagg said.
Still, Phi Psi 1 helped each other out and assisted with low passes to other players for easy points in the paint. A Phi Psi 1 player helped assist the ball
to Bryan Vain Horn. Overland Park sophomore, for a two point bucket.
With three minutes left in the game, Phi Psi 1 was trailing behind by thirteen points. The team started turning up the heat and shot a few three pointers after another, just like in practice before the game. The points started to rack up for Phi Psi 1 and the championship looked hopeful. With 50.5 seconds left of the game, the score was 38-33. Van Horn
found an opening in the right wing and shot a three-pointer in the last three seconds, but missed leaving Phi Delt 1 with the three-point victory.
"We tried to beat them down low" Blumhardt said.
Phi Delt I said that the "hard work and transitions" led the team up to the championship game.

STUDENT SENATE
Senators hope incentives will attract students to debate
The University Daily Kansan is playing host to a live Student Senate Debate on March 25 at 7:00 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The debate will be broadcast on KHK-FM, KUH-TV, and Kansan.com. In addition to being able to ask candidates questions, there will be incentives for students to attend.
If students are in one of four categories, on-campus housing, Greek housing, Student Involvement and Leadership Center registered groups or non-revenue sports, they are eligible to win a $100 check for their group. For every 10 percent of a particular group that shows up,
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN'S STUDENT SENATE DEBATE
the group will get one ticket in the raffle. A random ticket will be drawn for each category and the group with the winning ticket receives a $100 check.
There will also be a $50 gift card to KU Bookstores available for an individual student raffle. Student Senators and coalition members are not eligible for the raffle.
Darla Slipke, Bristol Conn., senior and Kansan in editor-in-chief, said she hoped the
incentives go over well.
"We're hoping it will draw in non-Student Senate members," Slipke said.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and United Students presidential candidate, said he thought the incentives were a good idea to attract students who might not normally come.
"Hopefully a gift will help get them there, McGonigle said.
Adam Wood, Lawrence junior and Students of Liberty presidential candidate, said he thought the debate would have a limited effect, but was a step in the right direction.
"I think they can do a little better," said Wood. He said the incentives might go over better if the raffle tickets were done on an individual basis.

In the past, "the debates haven't been meaningful at all." Kelly said.
The incentives should help get other people
to go who haven't already made up their minds to go, he said. He also said that one of Connect's main goals was to get more students informed and involved, so he's looking forward to the debate.

Spotlight Circolo on Organizations Italiano

BY JENNIFER TORLINE jtorline@kansan.com
For members of Circolo Italiano, there is more to Italy than the rolling hills of vineyards and plates of pasta. The entire culture of the country is just as important.
Ana Cervantes, Laura Díaz, María Martín y Rosa Garza
From left, Anthony Whaley, Olivia Betzen, Professor Marina Defazio, Renee Whaley and Katie George are members of the Circolo Italiano group, which meets at 6 p.m. the first and third Thursday of every month at Aimee's Coffeehouse.
Circolo Italiano, (Italian Circle in English), is a campus organization that focuses on the culture of Italy through classes, trips and other local events.
Last week, several members of Circolo Italiano attended a Student Union Activities' sponsored Italian film, "to non ho paura" ("I'm Not Scared"). When KU Opera performed the Italian opera "La Traviata" in January, several Circolo members were there.
"I think it's important to experience different cultures and celebrate different areas of the world, especially in college." Renee Whaley, Olathe senior and president of the organization, said.
In the past, Circolo Italiano has also sponsored cooking classes and visits to the Italian collection at the Spencer Museum of Art.
"It gives students at different levels and experiences an opportunity to get together and meet one another," Lauralyn Bodle, an Italian lecturer, said. "Students who are thinking about studying abroad can get together and meet each other."
Bodle has been involved with Circolo Italiano for more than 10 years. She has attended numerous events with the organization, including performances at the lyric opera in Kansas City, Mo., several years ago.
"It's nice when we all go out and see an opera together," Anthony Whale, Manhattan senior and treasurer, said. "Italian culture has a lot to offer, between the music, the food, the literature and the language."
Throughout the spring semester, Circolo Italiano hopes to have several activities, including cooking classes and a few Italian movie nights to promote Italian culture among students.
"You meet so many international students," Renee said. "It's a good way to meet people from other cultures who have a similar interest as
you."
The group meets from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the first and third Thursday of the month at Aimee's Coffeehouse,1025 Massachussetts st. All the meetings are in English.

ODD NEWS Student loses vice president title over Skittles
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Contraband candy has led to big trouble for an eighth-grade honors student in Connecticut.
Michael Sheridan was stripped of his title as class vice president, barred from attending an honors student dinner and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate.
School spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo says the New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy.
Michael's suspension has been reduced from three days to one, but he has not been reinstated as class vice president.
He says he didn't realize his candy purchase was against the rules, but he did notice the student selling the Skittles on Feb. 26 was being secretive.
Skeleton allowed through baggage check
MUNICH, Germany (AP)_A woman was stopped at Munich airport after baggage control handlers found the skeleton of her brother sealed in a plastic bag in her luggage, police said Wednesday.
The 62-year-old woman and her 63-year-old friend, who both live in Italy, were hauled in by airport police Tuesday after a scan of the bag showed a human skull and other bones. The women were traveling to Italy from Brazil.
It turned out that the woman was trying to fulfill the last wish of her brother — who died 11 years ago in Sao Paulo, Brazil — to be buried in Italy.
The travelers produced the appropriate papers from Brazilian authorities for the unusual transport, and were allowed to carry on their way to Naples — bones and all.

Used clothing stores provide secondhand style for shoppers
BY ANDY GREENHAW
agreenhaw@kansan.com
For college students looking to make a quick buck for spring break, consigning their clothing is an easy option. Plato's Closet joined the list of secondhand clothing stores in Lawrence in January, and it celebrated its grand opening on Monday.
Students can bring their clothes they don't wear anymore to secondhand clothing stores, which sell them for cash and buy other used clothing at discount prices.
John Nichols, owner of Plato's Closet, 23rd and Kasold streets, said he usually paid students about 40 percent of what the clothes were worth. That price is determined by a computer program that takes the condition, brand and style of the clothes into consideration.
"College students are always looking for a way to raise quick cash to cover entertainment, rent or whatever," he said. "I see a lot of
kids on Thursday nights who come in looking for a few bucks to party."
While Plato's Closet uses a computer to assess the value of its clothing, other secondhand clothing stores such as Arizona Trading Company, 736 Massachusetts St., and Wildman Vintage, 939 Massachusetts St., train their employees to make their own judgments.
Erica Voetsch, Leawood junior and employee at Arizona Trading Company, said she saw a wide variety of students and styles.
"We get the artsy kids looking for something unique and the fratty kids looking for their polo shirts," she said.
Nichols said Plato's Closet got clothes from all over the world.
"KU is a melting pot of students, therefore it's a melting pot of fashion," he said. "It's a place where different styles converge."
Both Arizona Trading Company and Plato's Closet try to avoid buying clothing that are out of style.
Nichols said that Plato's Closet carried mostly name-brand and designer clothing. Corey Sievers, manager of Arizona Trading Company, said only 10 percent of what his
store carried was older than two years.
On the other hand, Wildman Vintage strives to buy vintage clothing from as far back as the 1940s.
Tom Kimmet, a KU student who's worked at Wildman Vintage for three and a half years, said the store's owner traveled all over the world looking for the most outlandish clothing out there.
"What differentiates us from the other two is that we pride ourselves as being kind of laid back, mellow and just having a good time," he said. "We get a lot of students that come in looking for stuff to wear for theme parties."
While Wildman Vintage deals mostly with vintage clothing, it also buys clothing from local designers.
Kimmer said the store gave designers 70 percent of what their merchandise sells for.
Like Plato's Closet and Arizona Trading Company, Wildman Vintage paid people 40 percent of their clothes' resale value, but unlike the other two, it would not take name-brand clothing, Kimmer said.

Position created for Latino greek organizations
Student Senate created a new senator position last night for the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO). That organization, which includes Latino fraternities and sororities, is one of two in the entire nation.
Ryan Rowan, National Pan-Hellenic Council Senator, said adding the seat would help represent the diverse opinions of Greek organizations.
Senate also has separate positions for the National Pan-Hellenic Council, which represents
black sororities and fraternities, the interfraternity Council, which represents fraternities, and the Panhellenic Council, which represents sororities.
Cuts will offset energy and sustainability fee
Senate created a renewable energy and sustainability fund that would come from student fees. Students voted 90 percent in favor of the fee in last year's Senate election.
The referendum said that campus fees could not be increased to fund the fee and that other
fees would need to be reduced to compensate.
The Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee, the Campus Safety Fee and the Newspaper Readership Program Fee all took cuts to support the new fund.
Adam McGonigle, Student Executive Committee chairwoman, proposed an amendment to not take money from the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee. McGonigle said Student Body President Hannah Love and Vice President Ray Wittlinger had met with Chancellor Hemenway, who said he did not
want to take money away from the sports fee. Wittlinger said Hemenway was willing to consider all options when the legislation came before him.
The legislation passed without this amendment.
Senate considers changing e-mail service to Gmail
Senate is asking KU Information Technology to look at giving students Gmail in the place of Outlook Web Access e-mail accounts.
Jarrod Morgenstern, journalism senator, wrote the bill and
said he had contacted Information Technology. He said Donna Liss, associate vice provost for information technology, had asked for more student input before looking at the service.
"She wanted student input and this is it." Morgensten said.
Google offers Google Applications to universities for free. Google Applications includes e-mail, chat, calendar and document services. If the University adopted this program, Google would host the e-mails on its servers, eliminating the need for the University to pay for servers hosting e-mails.
KJHK to receive $75,000 to fund move
Senate will give $75,000 to KJHK 90.7 FM to help fund the station's move to the Kansas Union.The station currently broadcasts from Sudler House, also known as "the shack."The University has given the station a deadline of Fall 2009 to move out of the building.KJHK will move to the third floor of the Kansas Union after a $242,200 remodel to house the station is completed.

Don't let the bedbugs bite Spring break travelers could bring bugs home; KU takes precautions
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE
csmerville@kansan.com
Spring break travellers could bring home tiny hitchhikers that could cause big problems: bedbugs.
spring break.
Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said that the University of Kansas was urging students to keep on the lookout for bedbugs when traveling during breaks.
Bedbugs are flat, brown, oval-shaped insects that feed primarily on human blood. Their bites don't transmit diseases, but they can cause itchy red welts.
They often live in locations with warm weather. Exterminator Ravi Sachdeva, employee of American Pest Management and an entomologist, said that bedbugs were "frequently found in hotels and living quarters with international travel associated with them."
"This is not something you can get rid of on your own."
Sachdeva and his company inspect University housing every other month.
springs, walls and base boards.
Sachdeva said bedbugs were thought to be entirely eradicated in the 1960s, but started coming back in 1998.
When students return to the University they should keep rooms clean and tidy, since bedbugs like to hide in cracks and crevices. If students suspect they may have brought bedbugs back with them, they should call the Department of Student Housing at 864-4560 as soon as possible.
"This is not something you can
get rid of on your own," Robertson said.
The University hasn't had a bedbug problem yet, and Robertson said she wanted it to stay that way. Robertson and Sachdeva said the best way to prevent a bedbug infestation was to inspect hotel rooms and look either for the actual bedbugs or for blood spots. Students should also check mattresses, box
If a bedbug infestation happens at the University, Robertson said action would be taken immediately.
DIANA ROBERTSON Director of student housing
"The goals will be to isolate and treat," Robertson said.
Student housing residents would be relocated by the University for five to seven days while the rooms were treated.
Sachdeva said the treatment process began by positively identifying the bugs as bedbugs. The actual treatments can range from liquid insecticide or fumigation to a heat treatment. Bedbugs cannot live in an environment hotter than 120 or 130 degrees.
The whole process, from identifying the bedbugs to doing follow-up checks, can last up to a month, and cost anywhere from $100 to $300, depending on the severity of the infestation.

One in four teenage girls infected
HEALTH
BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com
Sexually transmitted infections afflict one in four girls between the ages of 14 and 19, according to a study released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That translates to 25 percent of freshmen and sophomore girls at the University of Kansas.
Ken Sarber, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center, said the statistic did not surprise him.
"I would say it's probably right on the money," he said.
The prevalence of STIs in freshmen and sophomore women is reflected across campus, where one fourth of all sexually active University students have an STI, Sarber said.
A 2006 study from Columbia University Health Services reported that 20 to 25 percent of all college students have either contracted an STI or passed one on to someone else.
But that number is not unique to the University.
Additionally, another CDC study estimates that among the 19
by the numbers
- Almost half of the 19 million new STI infections each year occur in people ages 15-24
- 6.2 million new cases of HPV occur in the U.S.each year
- 50 percent of sexually active students will have had an STI by the age of 25
- 2.8 million new cases of chlamydia occur in the U.S. each year
- $14.7 billion is spent annually on medical costs associated with STIs
million new STIs each year, almost half occur in people between the ages of 15 and 24.
from the CDC and Watkins Memorial Health Center and Columbia University Health Services
Sarber said those statistics could come as a surprise to many students.
"I think people are just blind a little bit," he said. "They don't want to think about how common it is. They think 'Oh, it won't happen to
"They're continuing to have unsafe sex and spread it from partner to partner."
it won't happen to me."
KEN SARBER Health Educator
echoed that sentiment.
She said many students assumed they wouldn't catch an STI or were unaware that they already had one.
That is a danger with chlamydia in particular, use 75 percent
Sarber said, because 75 percent
of infected individuals might not experience any symptoms.
"They're continuing to have unsafe sex and spread it from partner to partner," Sarber said.
Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs on campus, second only to human papilloma virus, or HPV, Guth said.
Sarber said the exact number of STI's among students was impossible to pinpoint because students don't always go to Watkins for their STI tests. He also said many STIs on campus went unreported.
Despite this, there are a number of ways students can protect themselves against STIs.
The CDC recommends people always use a condom during intercourse to reduce the risk of transmitting an infection. Sexually active people should also get tested regularly for STIs and make sure they know their partner's sexual history.
Guth encouraged students to visit or call Watkins at 864-9500 to schedule an STI test or get more information about STIs.

Mac sales increase on campus as war against PCs continues
BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com
Although technology professionals on both sides of the PC versus Mac divide may not be able to come to a consensus on the superior product, there is one thing neither can argue: Apple Inc. exerting its influence on the lucrative computer market.
It's nearly impossible to ignore Apple's influence on the KU campus. It seems Apple products are everywhere, from students' personal computers and MP3 players to computer labs stocked exclusively with Macs.
Bill Myers, a spokesman for the University's information technology department, said via e-mail that
the School of Fine Arts, School of Journalism. University Relations, theatre and film department; and
the Center for Research on Learning all predominantly used Macs. Also, approximately 50 percent of the computers in the geology and mathematics departments are Macs, he said.
J o h n Edwards, tech-
about a 25 percent increase in Mac sales each year. Although PCs remain the choice of the majority.
"For someone like me who is a professional artist, the Mac is just a treasure. It's a jewel box. Anything that I can imagine on my head I can create on a Mac."
STACEY FOX Visiting artist for the art department
EWARTS, technology buyer for KU Bookstores, owns both a PC and a Mac. He said the bookstores had seen
Edwards said he estimated Macs to make up around 25 percent of student computers.
Apple's increased visibility in the media and popular culture has helped drive sales of their products to people who
were previously unfamiliar with the company, he said. "The iPod did it, but the iPhone has done it even
more." Edwards said. "Everybody knows about the iPhone. It has been on the cover of Time Magazine and everything else, and it ends up making Apple appear to have a great product line."
In addition to Apple's visibility, Edwards said the failure of Windows Vista had driven some traditional PC users to the other side of the debate. He said Macs offer a user-friendly option for those without technological knowledge who prefer an uncomplicated system.
Stacey Fox, a visiting artist for the art department, said she used Macs because she considered the software she needed to edit film in high definition, such as Final Cut Studio, to be superior to that available for PCs.
"For someone like me who is a professional artist, the Mac is just a treasure," Fox said. "It's a jewel box. Anything that I can imagine in my head I can create on a Mac."
Although she has used both, Fox said she considers Macs to be more reliable and better suited to her needs.
Despite the increased popularity of Macs, the machines still have major shortcomings in the eyes of PC users. Adam Van Horn, Lawrence senior, said he has been a PC user his entire life. He said that for people looking to customize their computers hardware or play video games Macs just didn't stack up.
Despite his preference for Windows based systems, Vorn Horn
said Macs' new ability to run the Windows operation system was a positive move for Apple.
"They've gotten better, especially now that they support Intel processors," he said. "They are good computers; it's just that I prefer Windows and Intel based products because that's what I've always used."
In light of Apple's stock growth, its price has nearly doubled in the past two years, and his store's increase in sales, Edwards said he didn't expect Mac sales to slow down as students looked to fulfill their computing needs with minimal maintenance.
"It's just very consistent," he said. "it's all designed to work to work together well."

Israeli shooting disrupts cease-fire talks
PASHA
BY IBRAHIM BARZAK ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Relatives of Palestinian militants killed by Israeli troops react at the hospital in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, Wednesday. Israel troops opened fire on a car Wednesday, killing four Palestinian militants. Palestinian medical officials said, throwing doubt on prospects for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Hamas prime minister called publicly Wednesday for a period of calm with Israel, laying out conditions that would end attacks on Palestinian militants, open Gaza's borders and lift economic sanctions.
But shortly after the appeal by Ismail Haniyeh, Israeli troops opened fire on a car in the West Bank town of Bethlehem and killed four Palestinian militants, clouding the prospects for a ceasefire.
Among the conditions for an end to fighting that Haniyeh set earlier was a halt to Israeli military operations in the West Bank.
Hanjeh'eh's offer by came amid signs that Israel and Hamas are moving closer to an Egyptian-brokered deal to end weeks of fighting that have killed more than 120 Palestinians and five Israelis.
"We are talking about a mutual comprehensive calm, which means that the enemy must fulfill its obligations." Haniyeh said in a speech at Gaza City's Islamic University. "The Israelis must stop the aggression ... including assassinations and invasions, end the sanctions and open the borders."
The U.S. fears continued fighting will torpedo peace talks between Israel and moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who controls a West Bank government that rivals Hamas' rule of Gaza.
Israel stepped up attacks on Gaza two weeks ago in response to repeated rocket barrages on southern Israeli towns by Hamas militants. The fighting has subsided in recent days. But both sides have denied talk of a formal truce and there are no direct contacts.
Hamas does not recognize Israel's right to exist and is sworn to its destruction. Israel refuses to deal with the Hamas government.
But cutting a deal with Hamas would amount to international recognition of its control of Gaza. Israel and Abbas — who are involved in internationally backed peace talks — would essentially be agreeing to work with the militants instead of trying to topple them, allowing Hamas to stay in power while they try to negotiate a peace deal.
The deal could also give Abbas a new foothold in the area.
At the center of the arrangement would be deployment of officers loyal to Abbas at Gaza's border crossings with Israel and
Egypt. Hamas officials said they accept such a deployment in principle, even though it means giving up some control. They said they have given Egypt names of pro-Abbas officers who would be acceptable to Hamas.
Haniyeh said "all of the factions are involved," signaling that Hamas' call for a halt to the fighting has the support of smaller militant groups that have often scuttled cease-fire attempts in the past.
Haniyeh used the word "tahdia," or calm, to describe the informal cease-fire he sought. He did not use the Arabic word "hudna," which is interpreted as a more formal truce. Both terms denote a temporary cease-fire rather than a permanent peace, but even the subtle differences between the words has led to fierce debate among Arabs in past cease-fire efforts.
Israel has repeatedly warned that Hamas would use any lull to rearm. And Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak made clear Wednesday that a cease-fire was not yet in place.
"We are not in a situation of an arrangement here," Barak said during a tour of the Gaza border. "We are in the midst of operations aimed at stopping rocket fire," he added. "There is no change in what we're doing. What awaits us here is more operations."
The remarks were followed by the Israeli West Bank attack. Palestinian security officials said one of the four killed was the commander of Islamic Jihad in the Bolehem area, Mohammed Shehadeh, and two others were also members of Islamic Jihad. The fourth belonged to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a violent offshoot of Abba's Fatah.
Islamic Jihad leader Nafez Azzam in Gaza denounced the killings.
"This new crime reflects the true face of the occupation," he said. "Killing still continues while they are talking about the possibility of bringing calm. But if they think that calm means Palestinian surrender, they are mistaken."
While Haniyeh's demands were not new, the timing and location of the speech were significant. Haniyeh had been in hiding for several weeks during heavy fighting with Israel, and only has felt safe enough to appear in public in recent days.
With U.S. backing, Egypt has been trying to broker a truce.
"There are efforts by the Egyptian brothers who are
working on this issue. We as Palestinians are waiting for the Israeli answers," Haniyeh said. "The ball is in Israel's court."
Hamas officials said they have proposed that security forces loyal to Abbas, their fierce rival, be allowed to monitor Gazas' border crossings.
"We have agreed to have the Palestinian Authority staff on the border, not our staff, as long as those involved in corruption be excluded," said Alaa Araj, an adviser to Haniyeh. "The details are being discussed in Cairo."
Allowing Abbas' men to guard the crossings would mark a significant concession by Hamas, which
has ruled Gaza since violently ousting the presidents' forces last June. But it might be acceptable to Israel given its peace talks with Abbas.
Abbas has refused to speak to Hamas since the takeover, demanding it first relinquish power.
Israel and Abbas hope to reach a final peace agreement by the end of the year. But Israel has said it cannot carry out any deal until Abbas regains control of Gaza.
The Palestinians want an independent state that includes the West Bank and Gaza - areas located on opposite sides of Israel.

Meanwhile, the House Federal and State Affairs Committee started to work on its immigration bill before running out of time. Committee Chairman Arlen Siegfried said the panel would resume work Wednesday evening and continue until members can agree on a bill.
BY CARL MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS
The committee also removed penalties for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, instead making that a civil offense.
The Federal and State Affairs Committee sent the proposal to the Senate after removing requirements that employers participate in E-Verify, a federal government database to check on the legal status of potential workers. Instead, businesses that voluntarily use E-Verify would be able to use that as a defense in a lawsuit
TOPEKA, Kan. — A Senate committee rewrote immigration legislation Wednesday so that it met the approval of the business community but upset backers of the original, tougher proposal.
Siegfreid, an Olathe Republican, said a major issue to be resolved is what, if any, sanctions should be applied to businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. He said an earlier proposal to push back mandatory E-Verify use until 2010 has support.
The committee amended the bill to establish extensive guidelines for classifying workers as employees or independent contractors. Supporters said some employers misclassify employees to hide that they are illegal immigrants. Business groups oppose the amendment because they see it an unclear area of the law.
Already, it has talked about delaying the E-Verify requirement for two years and having the state Department of Labor do the actual checking.
Dealing with illegal immigration has been high on the agenda of many legislators who say they are responding to constituents' concerns about the increased number of illegal immigrants in Kansas, which some estimates put at 90,000 people.
"The fight will go on. It will not end here," Sen. Peggy Palmer, an Augusta Republican and sponsor of the original bill, said after the committee hearing. "Power and money just took over this Senate committee over the voice of the people."
Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, a Grinnell Republican, told fellow committee members that they had destroyed the bill.
"It brothers we we have an issue this important and we pulled the teeth from it," he said. "We don't have an immigration problem; we have an illegal immigration problem."
Business groups, including the Kansas Chamber of Commerce. Kansas Livestock Association and Kansas Farm Bureau, oppose requiring companies to use E-Verify, saying it isn't reliable and could punish businesses that unwittingly hire illegal immigrants.
Amy Blankenbiller, chamber president, said the rewritten version was closer to what the business groups wanted.
"Imigration is a credible issue, but there is a big difference between good policy and bad policy," she said. "They took what could have been a bad approach and made it a workable program that will address the true concerns of Kansas."

Adult-film maker pleads no contest
BY MELISSA NELSON Associated Press Writer
PANAMA CITY, Fla. — "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis pleaded no contest to child abuse and prostitution charges Wednesday under an agreement allowing him to go free after nearly a year in jail.
Francis, 34, returned to Florida after posting a $1.5 million bond this week in Nevada, where he is awaiting trial for tax fraud. The hearing in Bay County state court resolved his 2003 criminal case involving the filming of underaged girls during spring break on Panama City Beach.
"I have never committed any crime. I pleaded guilty just to get out of jail," a defiant Francis said after the Bay County state court hearing.
Francis makes an estimated $29 million a year on videos of young women in sexually provocative situations.
He pleaded no contest to one count of felony child abuse and two counts of misdemeanor prostitution.
Judge Deede Costello sentenced Francis to 339 days on Wednesday, the time he has already served in Florida and Nevada. Costello also ordered Francis to pay more than
$60,000 in fines, court costs and restitution to the county.
Francis also agreed not to conduct any filming between Escambia and Jackson Counties in Florida for the next three years.
Miami defense attorney Roy Black brokered the plea agreement.
Francis believed women his company filmed in 2003 were over 18 because they signed agreements stating they were of legal age, Black said.
"But it makes no difference under Florida law, they still committed a crime," Black said.

Gmail's features necessary for students' needs
Between what KU e-mail provides and what students need lies a lack of space, features and innovation, creating a stagnant system with apathetic student use at best. ConnectKU has set its focus on invigorating the University's e-mail presence with a
free alternative from Google.
If the University wants to demonstrate a commitment to technological innovation that students expect, it has
an opportunity to do so by adopting the modern e-mail and application system that Google offers.
This comprehensive package, called Google Apps for Education, would provide free e-mail, calendar and other services to anyone with a University e-mail address. E-mail would no longer be stored directly on campus, and students would access e-mail using the popular Gmail interface. Applications such as Microsoft Outlook, 'Mail' (for Mac OS X) or Mozilla Thunderbird would also work with the new Google system.
OUR VOICE
Connect spokesman Jarrod Morgenstern called the current system "e-mail from five years ago." Morgenstern says that Connect is passionate about bringing about change, but meeting with University administration had not yielded results so far. He characterized IT at the University as "a department that is not providing for student needs."
Bill Myers, director of assessment and outreach for the University IT department, confirmed that all changes are ultimately up to the Associate Vice Provest Donna Liss but that "we're always interested in hearing from students."
As for why the proposal was not taken forward initially, Myers said that Google Apps would not be a comprehensive replacement for the existing system, but he could not offer a specific function that Gmail would not replace.
Costs
The bottom line is one place the University can look to when considering Connect's proposal. Gmail and Google Apps are offered for free to universities across the country. Myers indicated the University currently spends about $171,000 to $181,000 a year on support, software, hardware and storage for the current e-mail system.
Storage
While there is no direct monetary charge, Myers was quick to point out that "There's nothing that's
free." While Google is not charging directly for the service, it is potentially gaining future customers and users after students leave the University.
Space for e-mails has been a constant concern for students. At one point the University offered 50 MBs of storage, now up to 100 MB, and
soon to transition to 500 MB during spring break, according to Myers. 500 MB is likely sufficient for most students, but still will likely need to be upgraded sooner rather than later. Gmail, with its 6.5 GB current limit, will end space concerns for a long time and allow students to exchange and store increasingly large documents, videos and photos.
Features
Innovation is perhaps where the current system lacks the most. With Gmail, Google introduced tagging, allowing users to mark messages with multiple keywords and then sort and search around these tags. Google Calendars could allow students to combine calendars from all their classes, University deadlines and personal events into a unified schedule.
Student involvement
A new system would have to start by bringing students who have abandoned their KU e-mail address back into the fold. With students re-engaged, associated programs from Google Apps, like the calendar system, could gain increased use. Instructors could offer innovative ways to communicate with their students and provide schedules, such as the Google Calendar. The current system has no innovation because people are disengaged from it. The University could bring students back in with an e-mail platform they can relate to and then create more uses than anyone can fully envision today.
Now is the time to take action and update the KU e-mail, calendar and Web presence for students. Gmail and Google Apps provide power and flexibility that is currently missing.

COMMENTARY
'Flesh-eating reality' fresh alternative to current life
DENNIS MERSMANN
Zombies are everywhere right now.
Calm down, faithful reader. I don't mean literally. I was using a figure of speech, so stop barricading your door. I was referring to the resurgence of the living dead in pop culture. Zombies are selling like hotcakes, and it's all because the economy is bad.
People are drawn to zombies, because a world with zombies is an attractive alternative to the world we
This connection might not seem obvious, so let's break it down.
The first assertion that zombies and zombie-themed entertainment are doing well can be easily observed. Zombies are in video games like "Dead Rising," movies like "Shaun of the Dead" and even on Facebook. The group "The Hardest Part of a Zombie Apocalypse Will be Pretending I'm Not Excited" has 28,941 members (as a Kansan contributor I am required to use Facebook as a source once in every 10 columns). Young consumers are eating this stuff up like brains.
live in. No one would consume zombie-based products if they weren't intriguing. The Facebook group says it right in the name. Those 28,940 members welcome an outbreak.
The reason has to do with my second point: The economy sucks. People finishing up college must worry about job hunts, starting the next phase of their lives. They know that Social Security will likely be gone when they retire. If the zombie dream became a flesh-eating reality, internships, entry-level positions and retirement would become the least of anyone's concerns. Wed all be busy looking for live ammo and securing the perimeter.
No one likes looking for jobs, or filing taxes or the countless other boring tasks adults must perform. Fleeing from flesh-craving monsters isn't all that great, either. The difference is that only one of these scenarios causes mid-life crises. Reaching mid-life during the zombie apocalypse is a proud accomplishment, not a reason to have an emotionless affair with your secretary.
Zombies don't sound so bad. Growing up and being an adult sounds boring. On the other hand, destroying the brain sounds awesome. Banding together with other survivors with makeshift weapons sounds great. Reinforcing a station wagon so it can plow through a mob of the undead sounds wonderful.
Zombies would make every day
action-packed. Going to the supermarket would no longer be tedious. "If 28 Days Later" taught us anything, it's that grocery shopping with zombies is a jovial, carefree and cost-free experience. At worst, it's a necessary thrill ride. Apartment hunting takes on a whole new meaning. Who among us wouldn't rather sleep in shifts to keep a lookout rather than worry if your roommate has his share of the rent?
Suddenly not getting that internship in New York you wanted doesn't seem so bad. You've got a golf bag full of blunt sporting goods ala Casey Jones. Those morons at Washington Mutual can eat a cricket bat.
Being an overqualified Longhorn's hostess with an anthropology degree is a distant memory now that you're the lord of the fortress that was once your apartment complex.
Zombies would erase everything aggravating and tedious about life. Sure, there would be new problems, but they wouldn't be annoying. Maybe doing a grad check is a better chore to have than finding clean water, but the latter sure seems a lot less pointless in the grand scheme of things. This is why our generation is intrigued by zombies. Certain danger is more appealing than uncertain monotony. If life sucks, it should at least be awesome.

True, the resolution isn't as strong as the U.S. wanted, it took an entire year, and in the short term, it won't stop a determined Iran from making nuclear weapons. Still, it's an important step in the long-term international campaign to convince Iran's coolest head — Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — that the cost to Iran in isolation and lost prestige if it persists with its nuclear program will simply be too high.

A look at Student Senate hopefuls prior to debate
Gillaspie looks to bring small-town experiences to vice presidency

junior from Ashland, population:

close_knit.community helped mold him into the person he is today.
"It was the sense of everybody wanting to help everybody else out," Gillaspie said. "That kind of drew me to fulfill my real goal of wanting to make a difference."
This spring, Gillaspie, a junior architecture major, is attempting to do that by running for vice president of Student Senate as part of the United Students coalition. And as a native of Ashland, Gillaspie is a rarity at the University.
He came from a high school graduating class of 25. If Gillaspie wanted luxuries such as fast-food or Wal-Mart, he had to travel to
nearby Dodge Citv.
"Think of the movie 'Pleasantville',' Gillaspie said. 'We had four cops, but I don't think they ever did anything.
"All my friends cannot stand the big town and they think Lawrence is big." Gillaspie said.
Gillaspie said his parents were adamant that he was cultured about other parts of the world, and not just southwest Kansas.
So despite the busier streets and the presence of fast-food chains, Gillaspie said he didn't experience much culture shock when he moved to Lawrence.
But Gillaspie said he did have
to figure out where he was going to live. He had been accepted into a scholarship hall and had a room waiting for him at McCollum.
Gillaspie's older brother had been in a fraternity at the University, so Gillaspie said, "Why not check out what a fraternity would be like?"
After going through formal fraternity recruitment, Gillaspie joined Sigma Phi Epsilon.
"I've really enjoyed it ever since," Gillaspie said. "There's the Greek stereotype, of 'Oh, that person's greek.' Well 17 percent of the University is greek."

"It's the people that you serve," Gillaspie said. "The conversations that you have, actually being able to see a visible difference."
United Students' presidential nominee, and Gillaspie's running mate, Adam McGonigle met Gillaspie last October.
"He has an uncanny ability to work with people," McGonigle said. "He's very personable."
After working with IFC and serving the Jubilee Café, Gillaspie was appointed to serve as IFC's senator for this semester.
"I'm still a new face to Senate." Gillaspie said.
And after almost three years in Lawrence, Gillaspie said he loved the diversity of the town. He's used to going to school along-side hordes of Johnson County natives and other KU students from the eastern side of the state. But Gillaspie's small-town roots are still unique, he says.
"People from big high schools can be involved in one thing or the other, but if you're in a smaller school, you can kind of pick up as many roles as you want to," Gillaspie said. "The experience from that helped push me to make sure I have a say and have the voice to make a difference."

Hyde's unique outlook on life inspires campus leadership
Eric Hyde sipped on a glass of milk and leaned back from his chair at La Prima Tazza, a coffee shop on Massachusetts Street. Dressed in jeans and a light blue T-shirt, the Lawrence native tried to describe what it's like to be in a coma for 17 days.
"It's pretty indescribable," Hyde said.
Hyde is running for vice president of Student Senate as part of the Students of Liberty coalition. His high school friend, Adam Wood, is running for president.
Most people, however, are usually more curious about the bicycle accident that almost killed him. Hyde said.
Hyde, eight years old at the time, was riding his bike to a friend's house along 27th Street during
rush hour. Hyde said he was attempting to cross the street and he looked to his left and saw a truck coming. He bolted out into the street to try to beat the truck.
---
"I didn't even think to look the other way." Hvde said.
Hyde
Hyde was hit by a car and broke both collar bones, cracked a vertebrae in his neck and punctured a lung.
"When I woke up I didn't know how to do anything except how to like think," Hyde said.
Despite having to relearn how to do everything, Hyde said he didn't fall behind in school.
Hyde met Wood when both were students at Lawrence High School.
"A lot of people have a defining moment in their lives," Wood said of Hyde's accident. "That was definitely his."
A life-long resident of Lawrence, Hyde graduated from Lawrence High School in 2004.
Hyde said had the option to
take an Individual Education Plan when he entered college so he could receive extra help, but he refused.
"Everyone needs help," Hyde said, as he took another sip of milk. "I thought I could do it on my own."
Hyde is a sophomore based on hours.
"I don't take that many classes," Hyde said. "I do other stuff."
Hyde plays bass in the band Ample Branches - he describes its music as psychedelic folk rock - and makes documentary films.
"He'ssomewhatofa'Renaissance man.' He does a little bit of everything." Wood said
Hyde's last film documented the aftermath of the Greensburg tornado disaster.
"it's kind of like film activism," Hyde said. "I've always had political idealism growing in my mind since I was a little kid."
Hyde said his bid for Senate vice president originated in the fall when Hyde and Wood created the group, Students for Liberty, to educate students about presidential candidates.
Wood said the group was about education and to advocate for certain issues.
And as Hyde sees it, the Senate has problems.
"Basically, it's like the same people are running Student Senate, year after year after year," Hyde said.
Hyde has experience in the political realm because he has been working as a legislative intern in Topeka for Jerry Henry (D), a state representative from Atchison County. Even though Hyde has never been a member of the Senate, he said he didn't think that would be problem.
"I just said, 'Why not run? It's open. I'm from Lawrence, I go to this University. It'd be challenging.'" Hyde said. "Student Senate doesn't do anything that I wouldn't be able to learn."

Oruch looks to use his campus campaign to bring students, Senate closer together
A cell phone rang on the fourth
a cell pnl floor of the Kansas Union and T-Pain lyrics played through the earpiece.
"Sorry," Jason Oruch said, as he pulled the phone out of his pocket.

days. The junior from Plano, Texas is running for vice president of Student Senate as part of the Connect coalition alongside presidential candidate Austin Kelly.
For Kelly, his first impression of Oruch came in a one-on-one meeting in the fall.
First: KU Basketball.
It's a general excitement that Kelly says manifests itself in two University staples: student government and KU basketball.
"He was excited."
See the shirtless group of guys in the front row when Kansas played Kansas State on March 1? Oruch was one of them. He said his camping group was camping group No. 1.
Thus, they went shirtless and painted their bodies blue.
"I was the 'J," Oruch said.
There's T-Pain again. "I'm buy u a drank, h-oh-oh."
"Sorry," Oruch said, answering the phone. "Trying to coordinate people."
With a green hat resting crookedly on the top of his head and sporting his usual scruffy beard, Oruch tried to explain his motivation for running for Senate.
"I wasn't in Senate my freshman year, and I know what it feels like to have no idea what's going on at this University," Oruch said.
"Joining AEPi is the best decision I ever made. Being a part of the Greek community is very important to me," Oruch said.
After growing up in Plano, Texas, Oruch visited the University his senior year of high school. He said he fell in love with the place. Oruch lived in Naismith Hall his freshman year and joined a fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi.
major, served as the NPHC Liaison for the Interfraternity Council in Spring 2006, serving as an intermediary between the two organizations.
Oruch, an American Studies
"We organized the only ever IFC step-team that actually competed in the NPHC step show," Oruch said.
But after three semesters of being an outsider, Oruch said he became more interested in Student Senate.
Oruch is also a member of KU Hillel, a student group that supports Jewish campus life.
He campaigned as a member of United Students last spring and won a seat as an off-campus senator, representing off-campus students.
"Jason really wants to get input from students," Kelly said. "He's very committed to doing that."
"Every student group can get 200 dollars of general funding through Student Senate," Oruch said. "And most student groups don't even know that. They have absolutely no idea that Senate can help them."
Oruch said he and Kelly had been busy contacting leaders of the more than 500 KU student organizations.
T-Pain's familiar voice returns as Orchus' phone goes off again.
Oruch, however, said his campaign schedule has kept him from doing any T-Pain-esque things this semester. He said he's been using the weekends to catch up on sleep. Campaigning, he said, can be tiring.
"I want to bring Student Senate back to the students." Oruch said.

THE DEFINITION OF POLITICAL CIVILIZATION
ASSOCIATED PRESS
New York State Gov. Eliot Spitzer announces his resignation amid a prostitution scandal as wife Silila looks on Wednesday in his offices in New York City.
BY VERENA DOBNIK AND
MICHAEL GORMLEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) _ In a startlingly swift fall from grace, Gov Eliot Spitzer resigned Wednesday after getting caught in a call-girl scandal that made a mockery of his straight-arrow image and left him facing the prospect of criminal charges and perhaps disbarment.
"I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people's work," Spitzer said, his weary-looking wife, Silda, standing at his side, again, as the corruption-fighting politician once known as Mr. Clean answered for his actions for the second time in three days.
He made the announcement without securing a plea bargain with federal prosecutors, though a law enforcement official said the former governor was still believed to be negotiating one. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
Spitzer will be succeeded on Monday by Lt. Gov. David Paterson, a fellow Democrat who becomes New York's first black governor and the nation's first legally blind chief executive.
The resignation brought the curtain down on a riveting three-day drama — played out, sometimes, as farce — that made Spitzer an instant punchline on late-night TV and fascinated Americans with the spectacle of a crusading politician exposed as a hypocrite.
His dizzying downfall was met with glee and the popping of champagne corks among many on Wall Street, where Spitzer was seen as a
sanctimonious bully for attacking big salaries and abusive practices in the financial industry when he was New York attorney general. And his resignation brought at the state Capitol in Albany after days of excruciating tension and uncertainty.
"Some rules can't be broken, and when they are broken there are consequences," said state Assemblyman John McEneny, a Democrat. "In this case, one of the most promising careers I've seen in a generation."
The scandal erupted Monday after federal law enforcement officials disclosed that a wiretap had caught the 48-year-old father of three teenage daughters spending thousands of dollars on a call girl at a fancy Washington hotel on the night before Valentine's Day.
Investigators said he had arranged for a prostitute named Kristen to take the train down from New York while he was in the nation's capital to testify before a congressional subcommittee about the bond industry.
With every development, it became increasingly clear that Spitzer, politically, was finished.
Law enforcement officials said the governor — the millionaire heir to a New York real estate fortune — had hired prostitutes several times before and had spent tens of thousands of dollars, and perhaps as much as $80,000, on the high-priced escort service Emperors Club VIP, whose women charge as much as $5,500 an hour.
Spitzer had gone into seclusion on Monday while he conferred with his advisers, wife and his newly retained high-powered lawyers. When it became clear he couldn't hold on any longer, he began talking to Paterson
about the transition.
He and his wife rode in a black SUV from their Fifth Avenue apartment to his New York City office to announce his resignation — a trip whose every move was captured by TV helicopters. During the news conference, he and his wife stood inches apart, never touching as they entered or left the room.
Speaking in a strong and steady voice, he apologized for his actions and said: "Over the course of my public life, I've insisted, I think correctly, that people regardless of their position or power take responsibility for their conduct. I can and will ask no less of myself."
He did not address the allegations in any detail in the less than three-minute statement, and left without taking questions.
In a statement issued after Spitzer quit, U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia, the chief federal prosecutor in New York, said: "There is no agreement between this office and Gov. Eliot Spitzer relating to his resignation or any other matter"
Among the possible charges that law enforcement authorities said could be brought against the former governor; soliciting and paying for sex; violating the Mann Act, the 1910 federal law that makes it a crime to take someone across state lines for immoral purposes; and illegally arranging cash transactions to conceal their purpose.
optzer, a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law, could also be disbarred. In New York, an attorney can lose his license to practice law for failing to "conduct himself both professionally and personally, in conformity with the standards of conduct imposed upon
members of the bar."
It was a spectacular collapse for a man who cultivated an image as an incorruptible politician hell-bent on cleansing the state of corruption. He served two terms as New York attorney general, earning the nickname "Sheriff of Wall Street," and was elected governor with a record share of the vote in 2006.
But he also made powerful enemies, many of whom complained that he was abusive and self-righteous.
"I really don't feel vindicated," said John Faso, the Republican who lost to Spitzer for governor. He added: "One of the many things I said was that Eliot Spitzer had one set of rules for himself and one set for everyone else. I never would have imagined it could be so glaring."
Traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange were transfixed by TV monitors broadcasting Spitzer's resignation, and his ruin drew scattered applause from traders as they went about buying and selling stocks. One trader said some firms even cracked champagne open a ritual usually reserved for when the Dow hits a milestone.
In a statement, the incoming governor said he was saddened, but added: "It is now time for Albany to get back to work as the people of this state expect from us."
Barely known outside of his Harlem political base, Paterson has been in New York government since his election to the state Senate in 1985.
While Spitzer was famously abrasive, uncompromising and even insulting, Paterson has built a reputation as a conciliator, and lawmakers quickly embraced the new order.
>> KANSAS GOVERNMENT
Former republican to run as democrat
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA—After more than a decade away from Kansas and its politics, former Rep. Jim Slattery is jumping back in.
Democratic officials confirmed Wednesday that Slattery plans to seek the party's nomination to challenge Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, Slatterd had indicated earlier this month at a party gathering in Topeka that he was rethinking an earlier decision not to run.
He said Wednesday that he would be in Topeka next week to make a formal announcement about his plans. He declined to comment further.
Mike Gaughan, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party, said party officials had been courting Slattery since last year to take on Roberts.
"He intends to make the race. He's been talking to Kansans disappointed with the way Pat Roberts has been inattentive to Kansans' needs in Washington," Gaughan said.
Lee Jones, who ran unsuccessfully in 2004 against Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, is the only Democrat to file for the office.
Slattery, of Topeka, represented the 2nd District of eastern Kansas in 1983-94 and ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1994. He had been mentioned as a potential Senate candidate but said in November he wouldn't challenge Roberts.
He's currently a lobbyist for a Washington, D.C., law firm.
Jackie Cottrell, Roberts' chief of staff, said the senator's campaign would draw a distinction between someone who serves the public and someone serving special interests.
"Slattery's entry into the race showshowdesperatetheDemocrats are to get a candidate." Cottrell said in a written statement.
Corrie Kangas, political director for the Kansas Republican Party, said Slattery "abandoned" the state after losing to Republican Bill Graves in the 2004 gubernatorial race.
"He's the poster-child for fat-cat lobbyists who has come back for no apparent reason, other than to run against a widely admired senator," she said. "Sen. Roberts is well positioned. He's not taking anything for granted."
Roberts served in the U.S. House representing western Kansas for eight terms from 1980-96. He has been aggressively raising money for an expected Democratic challenge. In January, his campaign said it had nearly $3 million in cash available to mount his bid for a third term.
Other factors are on Roberts' side, too.
Nearly half of the state's voters are registered as Republicans, and they outnumber registered Democrats by about 322,000. No Democratic presidential candidate has carried Kansas since Lyndon Johnson in 1964, and no Democrat has won an election for the Senate since 1932.
Jones, 56 is a former official with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers who lobbied in Topeka and Washington.
He lost the Senate race in 2004, receiving only 27 percent of the vote against GOP incumbent Brownback. He didn't even win the primary but picked up the nomination from party leaders when the political unknown who had defeated him dropped out.
MEDICINE Anesthesia awareness still a major concern
Patients say it feels like being trapped in a corpse: They wake up during surgery, unable to move or scream. Some remember hearing their surgeons talk, and a few recall feeling intense pain.
Some experts have said special brain-wave monitors were the best way to prevent anesthesia awareness. Now, in a big setback for efforts to prevent it, the first large, independent test of the monitors shows they are no better than older technology.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis compared two groups of about 1,000 patients each, all
deemed at high risk of waking up during surgery because of health conditions, medication or other factors.
One group used the leading brain-monitoring system, which uses electrodes on the forehead to measure brain waves and software to calculate likelihood of consciousness. The other used an older device that analyzes exhaled anesthetic gas.
Anesthesiologists watched for movement and changes in vital signs and followed protocols to maintain patients' depth of sleep, adjusting anesthesia levels as needed. Patients were interviewed after their surgeries about what they remembered.

EPA raises ozone restrictions amid health concerns
BY H. JOSEF HEBERT ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The air in more than 300 U.S. counties is simply too dirty to breathe, the government says. It is ordering a multibillion dollar expansion of efforts to clean up smog in cities and towns nationwide.
Scientists say the federal action, which will lower ozone limits, is still not enough to significantly reduce heart and asthma attacks from breathing smog-clogged air, and they want the Environmental Protection Agency to issue a more stringent requirement.
Electric utilities, oil companies and other businesses have lobbied for leaving the smog rule alone, saying the high cost of lower limits could hurt the economy and noting that many communities still haven't met requirements set a decade ago.
The EPA at a news conference Wednesday planned to direct that air must contain no more than 75 units of ozone, or smog, for every billion units of air in order to be considered healthy The current maximum concentration is 80 to 84 parts per billion.
EPA Administrator Stephen Johnso decided to take the middle ground when it comes to smog.

Ozone is a product of nitrogen oxides and other organic chemical compounds from motor vehicles, power plants, manufacturing and industrial plants. As it comes into contact with the sun's rays it is seen as smog, aggravating respiratory problems for tens of millions of people.
An estimated 85 counties of the more than 700 that have monitoring stations exceed the current 80 parts per billion concentration, according to the latest EPA calculations. More than 320 counties exceed the tighter 75 parts per billion standard.
Health experts say smog under
the current ozone regulation — even in areas where the limit is being met causes hundreds of premature deaths among the elderly and health problems for thousands of young children and people with respiratory illnesses.
"its disheartening that once again EPA has missed a critical opportunity to protect public health and welfare by ignoring the unanimous recommendations of its independent science advisers," said William
Clean air advocates called the latest EPA reduction a move in the right direction — but also a political compromise that does not go far enough.
Becker acknowledged that the tighter the standard the more difficult it will be to meet, but he said: "The public deserves the right to know whether the air they breathe is healthy"

ASSOCIATED PRESS Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. President Steve Mendell, center, accompanied by his wife Carol, right, and attorney Asa Hutchinson, left, waits to testify on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, before the House Oversight and Investigations subcommittee hearing on federal regulations for food and food safety.
Meat processor admits foul practice
BY ERICA WERNER ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The head of the Southern California slaughterhouse that produced 143 million pounds of recalled beef acknowledged Wednesday that cows too sick to stand at his plant were apparently forced into the nation's food supply in violation of federal rules.
Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. President Steve Mendell made the admission after a congressional panel forced him to watch gruesome undercover video of abuses at his slaughterhouse. Mendell watched red-faced and grim, sometimes resting his head on his hand, as cows were dragged by chains, sprayed in the nostrils with water, shocked and harshly prodded with forklifts to get them into the box where they would be slaughtered.
Afterward Mendell briefly bowed his head, then backed away from claims he'd made in his prepared testimony, delivered under oath, that no ill cows from his plant had entered the food supply.
So-called "downer" cattle have been barred from the food supply since a mad cow disease scare in 2003 because they pose a higher risk for that disease and other illnesses, partly because they often wallow in feces.
The panel's chairman, Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., asked Mendell whether it was logical to conclude from the videos that at least two downer cows had entered the nation's food supply.
"That would be logical, yes, sir," Mendell said.
"Has your company ever illegal slaughtered, processed or sold a
downer cow?" Stupak asked.
"I didn't think we had, sir," Mendell said.
Asked about the discrepancy with his written testimony, Mendell said, "I had not seen what I saw here today." He said that the Agriculture Department had not shared with him some of the undercover video shot by the Humane Society of the United States.
Stupak pointed out that the video has been available on the Humane Society Web site.
After Mendell's testimony, his lawyer sought to clarify Mendell's remarks. Asa Hutchinson, a former GOP congressman from Arkansas who once led the Drug Enforcement Administration, said Mendell would not dispute logical conclusions drawn by Stupak about downed cattle illegally entering the food supply.
"But it can't be conclusive because he does not know all the facts of it, he hasn't studied it and he only saw one brief shot at it during his testimony." Hutchinson said.
Mendell was appearing under subpoena before the House Energy and Commerce investigative subcommittee. He was a no-show at a committee hearing last month.
It was Mendell's first public appearance since the undercover video led to his plant's shutdown and last month's beef recall, the largest in U.S. history. The recall stretched back two years, and Agriculture Department officials have said most of the meat has been consumed. Some 50 million pounds of the beef went to federal nutrition programs, mostly school lunches.
No illnesses have been reported, and Agriculture Department officials have insisted there is minimal risk. But Stupak noted that the incubation period for mad cow disease can be a dozen years or more.
Richard Raymond, Agriculture Department undersecretary for food safety, acknowledged "there is that remote possibility" that cases of mad cow could emerge years from now as a result of the Westland/Hallmark practices.
Raymond also said that the Agriculture Department had found evidence of more than the two non-ambulatory cattle shown in videos Wednesday improperly entering the food supply. Even though carcasses also undergo inspection and can be discarded after slaughter, "it's a reasonable statement to assume it did enter commerce, some of it," Raymond said.
Two workers from the Humane Society video were fired and are facing animal cruelty charges from San Bernardino County prosecutors in an ongoing criminal investigation. One of those workers has said he was just following orders while his supervisor has reportedly told police he was under pressure to ensure slaughter of 500 cattle per day.
Mendell said everyone at the plant was under pressure to do their job but that couldn't excuse abuses. He also disputed reports cited by lawmakers that the Humane Society's undercover investigator, who shot the videos with a hidden camera, didn't receive proper training in slaughter practices when he was hired at the plant.
Mendell gave the committee a document signed by the investigator when he was hired acknowledging he'd received the requisite training. The Humane Society has declined to disclose the identity of its investigator, but on the training form he signed his name as Sean Thomas.
MIDDLE EAST U.S. Military death toll in Iraq War nears 4,000
BAGHDAD — Three U.S. soldiers were killed in a rocket attack in southern Iraq on Wednesday, bringing to 12 the number of Americans who have been killed in Iraq over the past three days.
With the overall U.S.military death toll in Iraq nearing 4,000, the latest killings mark a significant rise in deadly attacks against Americans.
At least 3,987 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an AP count. The figure includes eight military civilians.
Navy Lt. Patrick Evans, a military spokesman, told The Associated Press that three soldiers were killed Wednesday in a rocket attack on Combat Outpost Adder near Nasiriyah, about 200 miles southeast of Baghdad. Two other soldiers were wounded.
The attack came a day after an American soldier died when
a roadside bomb hit his patrol near Diwaniyah, 80 miles south of Baghdad.
>> COURTS
Eight soldiers were killed in a pair of bomb attacks on Monday, the heaviest single day of U.S. casualties since September.
Three of those soldiers died in a roadside bombing in Diyala, a violent province where al-Qaida in Iraq has been active.
The five others were killed while on foot patrol in central Baghdad. A suicide bomber approached them and detonated his explosives vest.

Suspect named in case of slain UNC student president

MIKE BAKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Two suspects were charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in the killing of the University of North Carolina's student body president.
Demario James Atwater, 21, of Durham, was arrested and ordered to be held without bond. Police said they are still searching for the second suspect, 17-year-old Lawrence Alvin Lovett Jr.
Police in Durham refused to comment, referring all questions
about the standoff to police in Chapel Hill.
Chapel Hill Police Chief Brian Curran declined to say whether Lovett was the subject of an intense police standoff Wednesday afternoon in nearby Durham. City Councilman Eugene Brown said it appears the standoff was resolved without an arrest.
Shackled at the ankle and waist and with a public defender at his side, Atwater whispered "yes" when asked whether he understood the charge against him. His next court appearance was scheduled for March 24.
"I hope the arrest can ease the minds of some in the community." District Attorney Jim木隆all said.
Messages left with the Orange County public defenders office were not returned Wednesday.
Curran would not say which of the suspects shot and killed Eve Carson, 22, of Athens, Ga., who was found a week ago lying on a street about a mile from campus. The biology and political science major had been shot several times, including once in the right temple.
In the day after Carson's death, police focused their investigation
on a suspect pictured in several surveillance photos using her ATM card.
The Board of Trustees at North Carolina offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in her death, and police received hundreds of tips after the first two photos were released over the weekend.
Carson was a prestigious Morehead-Cain scholar at North Carolina, where she was remembered by thousands who gathered Thursday at two campus memorial services. Hundreds of mourners filled the First United Methodist Church in Athens on Sunday at a memorial service in her hometown.
The university said Wednesday that a third memorial service will be held next week at the campus basketball arena.

in one of the world's most densely populated cities.
The government also asked one of its top scientists to investigate the deaths of three children, but the World Health Organization said only two of the children tested positive for the flu, and both had other diseases as well.
The government has ordered all kindergartens, primary and special education schools closed for two weeks starting Thursday, Health Secretary York Chow said. School children — along with teachers and parents — wore masks Wednesday as they walked outside.
The outbreak has not been linked to bird flu, which was detected in birds in Hong Kong. Bird flu remains difficult for humans to catch, but scientists fear the virus that causes it could eventually mutate into a form that spreads easily among humans.
The schools had been expected to start their Easter Holiday in a little over a week, though the date varies with each school. Chow said bringing the holiday forward would help reduce cross-infection among school children and calm public fears.
"When children are at school, it is very hard to keep them still and prevent them from contacting each other. They may not listen to orders and wear masks or wash their hands. This is an effective measure from an infectious disease standpoint," Chow said.
The closure will affect nearly 560,000 students at 1,745 schools, according to enrollment figures from the 2006-2007 academic year
Since March 6, health officials have recorded nine flu outbreaks, mostly at schools.

Southwest grounds 41 flights across U.S.
ANA
Southwest Airlines said it grounded 41 planes Tuesday, in the wake of its recent admission that it had missed required inspections of some planes for structural cracks. Southwest faces a $10.2 million civil penalty, the largest the FAA has ever imposed.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DAVID KOENIG ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Southwest Airlines Co. canceled flights Wednesday and temporarily grounded 41 planes to examine if they were sound enough to carry passengers, the latest twist in the low-cost carrier's saga of missed safety inspections and civil penalties.
The groundings affected about 8 percent of Southwest's fleet, and came as the airline faces a $10.2 million civil penalty for continuing to fly nearly 50 planes that hadn't been inspected for cracks in their fuselages.
Southwest shares fell more than 9 percent before closing down 7.3 percent.
Since the Federal Aviation Administration announced the penalty last week, Southwest has endured a steady drip of bad publicity, which is unusual for the nation's most consistently profitable carrier and one that has never had an accident that killed passengers or crew members.
On Wednesday, word filtered out that the airline had taken 38 planes out of service, along with five others that were already in hangars undergoing routine maintenance. That's about 8 percent of Southwest's fleet.
Spokeswoman Linda Rutherford said Southwest took the action after getting clarification from manufacturer Boeing Co. on Tuesday night about the type of inspection — visual or magnetic, or a combination of both — needed for areas around the windows on some older Boeing 737-300 and 737-500 jets.
By late Wednesday afternoon, Rutherford said, 25 planes had undergone the 90-minute inspection at maintenance bases in Dallas, Houston, Chicago and Phoenix and returned to service.
Rutherford said the remainder of the 38 taken off tarmacs were expected to be back flying by Wednesday night. A 44th plane covered by the Boeing instructions had already been retired, she said.
Southwest had canceled 139 flights by late Wednesday afternoon, or about 4 percent of its scheduled flights for the day, according to Flightstats.com, which tracks airline operations.
The company said it had 520 Boeing 737 jets at the end of last year. Nearly 200 of them are older models, the Boeing 737-300, that were supposed to undergo extra inspections for cracks in the fuse-lage.
The FAA said Acting Administrator Robert A. Sturgell met Wednesday with Southwest Chief Executive Gary Kelly, who gave a briefing on the steps the airline is taking to comply with inspection orders. The FAA is conducting its own review.
Sturgell has acknowledged that the FAA should have grounded the jets last year, when Southwest itself reported that it had inadvertently missed inspections of the fuselages on its all-Boeing fleet. He has said that "at least one FAA inspector looked the other way."
Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., chairman of a House committee looking into the actions of both the airline and the FAA, said this week's groundings and fresh inspections raised serious questions about the FAA's follow-up to the missed examinations last year.
Beyond Wednesday's canceled
flights — airline officials said they expected to operate a normal schedule on Thursday — it was unclear what impact the unfolding events might have on Southwest's ticket sales and reputation.
Ted Marzilli, an executive at consumer-surveying firm BrandIndex, said Southwest's ratings have held up despite nearly a week's worth of bad publicity. But Wednesday's news of airplanes being grounded and flights canceled could change things for the worse, he said.
"At first this was something that happened a year ago, there were no injuries, and it was being corrected." Marzilli said. "This new story prolongs the news cycle and has the potential to do more serious impact to the Southwest brand."
But Paul Biederman, a former chief economist at TWA who now teaches at New York University, said Southwest appeared to be taking charge by announcing earlier this week that it was suspending three employees. He predicted the fallout would be short-lived.
"There wasn't an accident. Nobody got hurt or killed," he said. "It'll go away unless something else
The $10.2 million penalty is the largest the FAA has ever imposed on a carrier. Most of the amount was related to charges that Southwest for several days last year continued to put passengers on planes that it knew had not been properly inspected.
happens, like we find out cracks weren't repaired."
Southwest has said it will appeal. CEO Kelly, who earlier announced an internal investigation into the missed inspections, said Wednesday that Southwest has a clean record over its 37-year history.
"We have been a safe company. I believe we are a safe company," he said. "I am committed to making sure we become safer still."
Parents ignoring vaccine face prison

BY MARIA CHENG ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON (AP) _ As doctors struggle to eradicate polio worldwide, one of their biggest problems is persuading parents to vaccinate their children. In Belgium, authorities are resorting to an extreme measure: prison sentences.
"I am innocent, I want justice and fairness," said Jawad, who spoke through a Pashto translator and asked the judge whether journalists could hear his statements. "Since I was arrested I've been treated unfairly. I have been tortured. I am a human being."
The only specifics he offered were that he's had a "bleeding lip" for more than a year and he said he suffers from constant headaches from the bright lights in his prison cell.
Two sets of parents in Belgium were recently handed five-month prison terms for failing to vaccinate their children against polio. Each parent was also fixed $8,000.
The highly infectious disease is spread through water and mainly strikes children under five. Initial symptoms include fever, headaches, vomiting, stiffness in the neck and fatigue. The polio virus invades the body's nervous system and can lead to irreversible paralysis within hours. In extreme cases, patients can die when their breathing muscles are immobilized.
Jawad, who wore the orange uniform reserved for the least compliant detainees, later slammed down his translation headphones and put his head down on the desk.
"The parents in this case do not have any rights they can appeal to. They have obligations they are not fulfilling."
In combative exchanges with the judge, Jawad said he has been mistreated at Guantanamo Bay — where the U.S. military holds about 275 men suspected of links to al-Qaida and the Taliban — and denounced the tribunal system as unjust.
most states allow children to opt out if their parents have religious or "philosophical" objections.
The parents' sentences were delayed to give them a chance to vaccinate their children. But if that deadline also passes without the children receiving the injections, the parents could be put behind bars.
In Maryland, prosecutors and school officials in one county threatened truancy charges against parents who failed to vaccinate their children. The measure sharply reduced the number of unvaccinated children although no one has been charged.
The only other case of mandatory polio vaccines is during the Muslim yearly Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. Pilgrims from poli-oendemic countries must prove they have been vaccinated. Saudi officials even give them an extra dose upon arrival at the airport.
"Nobody has the right to unfettered liberty, and people do not have a right to endanger their kids," said John Harris, a professor of bioethics at the University of Manchester.

Since the polio virus can live in the human body for weeks, it jumps borders easily. That makes health officials even in developed countries nervous, since the threat of an outbreak remains as long as the virus is circulating anywhere.
"It's a pretty extraordinary case," said Dr. Ross Upshur, director of the Joint Centre for Bioethics at the University of Toronto. "The Belgians have a right to take some action against the parents, given the seriousness of polio, but the question is, is a prison sentence disproportionate?"
The polio vaccine is the only one required by Belgian law. Exceptions are granted only if parents can prove their children might have a bad physical reaction to the vaccine. There are no exceptions for people who object to vaccinations on religious grounds.
Aside from Belgium, only France makes polio vaccinations mandatory by law. In the United States, children must be immunized against many diseases including polio, but
"Polio is a very serious disease and has caused great suffering in the past," said Dr. Victor Lusayu, head of Belgium's international vaccine center. "The discovery of the vaccine has eliminated polio from Europe and it is simply the law in Belgium that you have to be vaccinated. ... At the end of the day, the law must be respected."
Because of privacy laws, Belgian officials would not talk specifically about the cases, such as why the parents refused the vaccine or how much longer they have to get their children vaccinated.
Some ethicists back the hard-line Belgian stance.
Mohammed Jawad, who is accused of throwing a grenade that wounded two U.S. soldiers, initially refused to attend his first pretrial hearing, delaying its start. After he appeared in the courtroom, the judge, Marine Col.Ralph Kohlmann, warned Jawad that if he does not attend future sessions he could still be tried, convicted and sentenced in absentia.
Afghan detainee protests trial
In a phone interview, one of those wounded in the attack, former Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Martin, said he should never be let out of U.S. military custody.
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) _ An Afghan detainee said Wednesday that he wants to boycott his trial at Guantanamo Bay and railed against the proceedings as unfair and illegal.
The hearing inside the hilltop courthouse overlooking the Caribbean was delayed more than two and a half hours after Jawad initially refused to attend. Kohlmann ordered his ankles to remain shackled during the hearing because he was not cooperating fully.
The judge also excused Jawad's Pentagon-appointed defense attorney, Army Col. James Sawyers, who asked to be removed from the case because he is leaving active-duty service. He said the effort to find a replacement could cause a delay in bringing the case to trial.
The military plans to prosecute about 80 of the roughly 275 prisoners held at this U.S. base in southeast Cuba on suspicion of links to al-Qaida or the Taliban. So far, roughly a dozen have been charged and none of the cases has gone to trial.
He is accused of throwing a homemade hand grenade into a jeep carrying two U.S. soldiers and their interpreter in Kabul, the Afghan capital, in 2002. The three were wounded.
Jawad said he was 16 when he was arrested and did not understand some of the rules the judge explained to him.

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT
Going to... Kansas City
BY MARK DENT AND RUSTIN DODD
Kansas City, here it comes. After a three-year break, the Big 12 Tournament is back in Kansas City, Mo., today through Sunday. The basketball will be played at the sixth-month-old Sprint Center downtown, but hey, this tournament isn't all about basketball. It's about entertainment. Get ready for four days of fun in a city that runs on barbecue, fountains and friendly people. Overwhelmed? We have you covered. Here's the guide for the best places to eat, drink, sleep, sightsee and more in Kansas City.

Jayhawks fall to Cowgirls
Big 12 dream ends in loss, coach still hopeful for WNIT berth
BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY. Mo - The magic that exuded from every Kansas player after their first round victory was nowhere to be seen Wednesday night.
Perhaps the Jayhawks left it in the locker room or on the bus. Either way, Oklahoma State played with fire and determination to beat a suddenly pedestrian Kansas squad 82-62, eliminating the Jayhawks from the Big 12 Tournament.
"We were a little flat," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We couldn't guard off the dribble and we gave up layups and kick out threes. We made ourselves look silly there for awhile."

Henrickson's team dealt with a plethora of problems in the defeat.
Senior forward Taylor McIntosh, who led the Jayhawks in points and rebounds against Nebraska, was held to just 2 points and corralled only 5 rebounds.
Kansas hit only 2-of-13 from beyond the arc, scored just two fast-break points and turned the ball over 18 times. Eighty-two is also the most players the Jayhawks have given up all season.
"It's hard to look at that and come up with a word better than just undisciplined," Henrickson said.

Eighth-straight victory brings coach Price to 400

BASEBALL
By the top of the seventh, Missouri State had the lead and the momentum. But, just as they'd done all night, the seniors in Kansas' lineup put the team on their shoulders.
The first five Jayhawks to bat in the seventh, three of whom were seniors, reached base to overcome a 5-4 Missouri State (8-4) lead and guide Kansas (10-5) to its eight-straight victory, 11-7. The victory marked Kansas coach Ritch Price's 400th as a Division I coach.
"I'm glad it happened against a quarry team in such a great environment," Price said. "It's also a great win for our senior class. They've never won down here. I feel really good about getting the lead, them jumping back on top and us battling back and winning late. It was a great win for us."
Sophomore second baseman Robby Price and senior left fielder John Allman led off the seventh with back-to-back singles to set the table for Kansas. After junior first baseman Preston Land was hit by a pitch to load the bases, senior right fielder Ryne Price singled through the right side of the infield to drive in Robby Price and Allman. With that, Kansas took a 6-5 lead, but there was plenty more damage to be done in the inning.
Next up was senior shortstop Erik
Morrison and, with two strikes on him, he singled to left field to drive Land home. The layhawks tacked on two more runs after Morrison's single and batted around in the inning to take a 9-6 lead.
Four of the five runs in the inning came off Missouri State right-hander Sean Toler (0-1) who kept Kansas in check for three innings before being bounced from the game without recording an out in the seventh.
A pair of Kansas seniors teamed up again in the eighth to add to the lead. With right-hander Kyle Dyer on the mound for the Bears, Allman hit a leadoff single to left. Two batters later he was trotting home on a Ryne Price home run. Price's third home run of the season gave Kansas an 11-6 lead.
In all, seniors Allman, Ryne Price and Morrison went a combined 8-for-13 with eight runs and eight RBI. Morrison was just a home run away from hitting for the cycle.
"Those are the guys," Price said. "Those seniors have to carry the club. Those three guys were huge tonight."
Missouri State displayed plenty of firepower, though, in their seven-run output
After pitching three scoreless innings, Kansas sophomore Shaeffer Hall was pounded for five runs in the fourth. Following a leadoff triple by outfielder Ben

Marlins prospects lead to victory Marlins defeat Cardinals 13-7 in Spring game
Carroll after hitting his second home run of a spring training baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals during the ninth inning Wednesday, in Jupiter, Fla. The Marlins won, 13-7.
BY SARAH LARIMER ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — Cameron Maybin hit two home runs, and the Florida Marlins answered St. Louis' home run binge Wednesday with one of their own.

MARLINS
Five homers by the Marlins helped them overcome a six-run deficit to win 13-7.
"It seemed like everything in the air today was out," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I'm glad that we just kept chipping away."
Troy Glaus, Albert Pujols, Brian Barton and Ryan Ludwick homered for the Cardinals. Three of the Cardinals' homers came off prospect Gaby Hernandez, a long-shot candidate for Florida's rotation.
Maybin, a highly touted prospect who is hoping to win the starting center field job, came to the Marlins from Detroit as part of a blockbuster trade that sent Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers.
Hanley Ramirez went 3-for-3 with a homer and Jorge Cantu and Maybin hit back-to-back home runs in the fourth for Florida. Luis Gonzalez hit a three-run homer in the sixth, and Maybin added another home run in the eighth.
"He's got some juice. You can see what everybody talks about," Gonzalez said.
Hernandez gave up three hits and six runs in three innings.
"Sometimes you need these guys to hit you around a little bit to make the adjustments," Hernandez said. "I'm glad it happened now, so I'm glad I got it out of the way."

Prospect Chris Volstol pitched four shutout innings for the win. He's another candidate for the Marins' injury-plagued rotation.
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa was unhappy with his team's defense in Florida's five-run eighth.
"That's a very irritating game to lose," La Russa said. "We were careless."
St. Louis starter Anthony Reyes allowed three runs and six hits in four innings. He struck out six.
"I feel like every time I go out there I'm getting more confident and the strikeouts are going up a little bit," Reyes said. "I think it's starting to come together a little bit and the more I go out there, the sharper I'm going to get."
Note: Marlins RHP Sergio Mitre was examined Wednesday by Dr. James Andrews, who determined surgery is not needed. "He needs some downtime, but there's no tear," agent Paul Cobbe said. "We're not sure yet what the downtime will be." Mitre left his first spring training game Feb. 28 after facing three batters and complained of tightness in his forearm. He hasn't pitched in a game since.

football notes
Kansas' game at South Florida has been moved from Saturday, Sept. 13 to Friday, Sept. 12, ESPN2 (Sunflower channel 34) will television the game at 7 p.m. CST. The game is the third on the Jawhays' 2008 schedule and will mark the second time Kansas has played a nonconference game on national television. Kansas will also face Florida International, Louisiana Tech and Sam Houston State before Big 12 play begins.
» Spring football has officially begun. Kansas hit the practice field yesterday for the first of 15 spring sessions. Two practices will be open to the public: Tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. and April 4 at 3:30 p.m. Both open practices will be held on the fields west of Hogland Ballpark. The Jayhawks' spring game, which is free to the public, is slated for Saturday, April 12.
Eleven former Jayhawks worked out for NFL Scouts Tuesday at Kansas' annual Pro Timing Day. Each of the five Kansas players who tested at the NFL Combine last month worked out, along with Jeff Foster, Marc Jones, Brandon McAnderson, Scott
Webb, Sadiq Muhammed and Kyle Tucker. Only five NFL teams skipped the opportunity to evaluate the Jayhawks, as 37 scouts from 27 teams attended.
» Linebcker Joe Mortensen, who will be a senior next season, earned a spot on the preseason Lombardi Award Watch List. Mortensen is one of 54 players on the watch list for the honor. The Lombardi Award is given to the nation's best defensive lineman or linebacker at the end of each
season. As the season progresses, the 500 members of the Lombardi committee whittle the list of eligible players until 12 semifinal-

ists remain before making their selection. Last season, Mortensen led Kansas with 106 tackles from the middle linebacker position. Along with safety Justin Thornton and center Ryan Cantrell, Mortensen will not participate in spring drills because of an injury.

"In his case, you've got to put the time in."
Carpenter has put in a lot of
Carpenter time over the years, missing most of 2002 and all of 2003 following shoulder surgery, missing the 2004 playoffs with a biceps injury and pitching only on opening day last season before the elbow knocked him down.
It's way too early for that.
"I think it's going to get different when we start upping the intensity and the quantity." Carpenter said. "It's on a line and it's going in there nice with an occasional little pop in the mitt.
"Because I've been through it, I know what it takes to get back and I'm going to do everything I can."
"I'm not firing it, but it's hard enough for right now, and I've been recovering fine and as long as that continues to progress, everything will fall into place."

Adam Wainwright and Branden Looper are the only members of the projected rotation set for the start of the season, with swingmen Todd Wellemeyer, Brad Thompson and Anthony Reyes, coming off a 2-14 season, likely to fill the last three spots.
Prospects Kyle McClellan, Clayton Mortensen and Mike Parisi also could be in the mix. The Cardinals were impressed with Parisi's improved breaking ball in an intersquad game on Tuesday and Mortensen will get second start of the spring on Friday against the Dodgers.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Sophomore guard Danielle McCray is finding and hitting open shots early in the game to lead Kansas with 11 points and six rebounds at halftime. Still, Cowgirl forward Shaunte Smith put an exclamation point on the first half for her team with a rebound and tip-in to beat the buzzer.
Oklahoma State led 43-31 at the break.
Two keys to the Jayhawks first-round victory were coming out strong in the second half and the production from role players.
Wednesday night Kansas accomplished the first task as freshman center Krysten Booguard scored 10-straight points out of the break to bring the lead down to eight. However, she picked up her fourth foul with 14:53 left and the bench players failed to pick up the slack, scoring just six points.
"We came back early in the second half and made a run but we couldn't sustain that for the rest of the game," sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs said.
reached double figures in points with sophomore guard Andrea Riley's 23 points leading the way.
All five of Oklahoma State starters
McCray led Kansas with 18 points and 12 rebounds while Boogaard and Jacobs poured in 17 and 15 points, respectively.
The Jayhawks first and last Big 12 loss came at the hands of the Cowgirls, but it probably won't be the last chance they have to pick up a victory.
Henrickson is confident that her team has done enough to earn a trip to the WNIT, it's just a matter of when and where. While she would like to have a game at home, Henrickson said it was more important for her team to find its identity.
MI
"I think were a good basketball team that plays in a great league," Henrickson said. "We're not a great team, because great teams finish, great teams are consistent and great teams have maturity.
"We've got to be who we are, own what we can own in the postseason and play with some confidence."
Jon Goerina/KANSAN
Junior guard Ivana Catic joins senior forwards Taylor Mcintosh and Jamie Boyd as they watch Oklahoma State seal the victory over the Hawkswale in the second half. Kansas finished Big 12 play to 4-12 this season.

BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Woodbury, thin Drake hit a home run to left field to put the Bears on the board. Catcher Dallas Hord capped off the rally with a three-run home run to erase Kansas' lead and put Missouri State on top, 5-4.

"Our bullpen is better than it's ever been in the six years I've been here."
RITCH PRICE Coach
of the eighth, with Kansas sophomore right-hander Brett Bollman (1-1) pitching in relief of Hall, Missouri State first baseman Ben Carlson put one last scare into the Jayhawks. Carlson led off the inning with a solo shot to right field, cutting the deficit to four runs. However, Bollman recovered and got out of the inning with no further harm.
In 2.2 innings of relief, Bollman held Missouri State to two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out four and hitting a batter. Those two runs were the first Bollman
earned his first victory as a Jayhawk Wednesday. Although he didn't earn a save, junior closer Paul Smyth shut the Bears out in the ninth to seal No. 400 for his skipper.
"Our bullpen is better than it's ever been in the six years I've been here," Price said.
MILESTONE WATCH
Senior Ryne Price's home run in the eighth was the 27th of his career and put him in a third-place tie on Kansas' all-time home run list with former Jayhawk Matt Gundelfinger. Price is now two home runs shy of tying Travis Metcalf for the all-time home run record of 29.

Iowa State upsets Kansas State Texas defeats Baylor after 16-point halftime deficit

NO.8 IOWA STATE 66, NO.1 KANSAS STATE 65 (OT)
Sophomore guard Alison Lacey scored six points in the final 11 seconds to get Iowa State a thrilling upset overtime victory.
Wildcat guard Shalee Lehning made a full-court drive of her own and nearly won the game with a five-foot floater, but the shot bounced off the rim twice and harmlessly fell to the floor.
This time K-State guard Danielle Zanotti made only one of her two free throws, and Lacey took the rebound coast-to-coast for a layup and foul. Lacey converted the old-fashioned three-point play to put Iowa State up 66-65.
Cyclone junior guard Heather Ezell hit a big three-pointer with less than 30 seconds left to draw K-State's overtime lead back to two. Then after a pair of Wildcat free throws, Lacey drilled a three and the Cyclones fouled again.
Ezell came into the week averaging just 9.5 ppg on the season but has scored 25 and 26 points in her first two tournament games, respectively.

Kansas City, Mo. — With the number of times sophomore guard Andrea Riley and the Cowgirls found themselves open under the basket, they must have thought they were in a pregame layup line.
It was a fitting ending for a Kansas squad that never lived up to the potential a sparkling 11-2 nonconference record suggested. Although Kansas jumped to an early 11-8 lead, Oklahoma State was always in control, ruthlessly exposing Bonnie Henrickson's team's weaknesses. The Jayhawks turned the ball over 18 times, sparking the Cowgirls' offense and leading to 20 points off turnovers.
"We just didn't respond and get back and get underneath Riley," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We gave her a lane. I kept telling the guards she could take the ball and physically roll it to the rim and not hit anybody"
"It was very frustrating," sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs said of the Jayhawks' defensive struggles. "We couldn't seem to find a way to stop the layups."
ATLANTIS
Oklahoma State used 20 layups to beat Kansas 82-62 and eliminate them from the Big 12 Tournament for the second year in a row. The bad habits that plagued the layhawks all season came back to haunt them once again against the explosive Cowgirls. Costly turnovers? Check. Early foul trouble for key players? Check. Even Kansas' normally dependable defense could be best described as lackadaisical.
KU
"It's just a lack of discipline on the offensive end for us to turn it over," Henrickson said. "I'm sure when you watch it live like I watch it live you think 'I'm not sure what you saw.' Then it's even worse when you watch it on film and can pause it."
OFFICE OF STUDY ABROAD
CHEMISTRY
Kansas couldn't break down the Oklahoma State zone, and the Cowgirls' constant penetration into the paint left sophomore guard Danielle McCray and freshman center Krysten Boogaard saved with four fouls early in the second half. Just as the lajhawks were starting to show signs of life behind Boogaard's
Oklahoma State's run. Though the loss is a disappointing end to a disappointing conference season, Henrickson said she and her team were quietly optimistic about the possibility of WNIT play at Allen Fieldhouse next week.
10 early second half points, turnovers and Boogaard's fourth foul allowed the Cowgirls to build a 28-point lead and effectively put the game on ice.
"It was important to get the foul on her," Oklahoma State coach Kurt Budke said about Boogaard's fourth foul. "She is a great player, and she is going to be a great player in this league. She was changing the game for them."
Henrickson said her team just didn't have the emotional maturity to weather
"We'll certainly know a lot more in the next couple days," she said. "But it's about managing the ups and downs and being able to bounce back."

Advocacy groups pressure to improve human rights
BY ARIEL DAVID
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROME — The Beijing Olympics in August offer China the chance to improve its human rights record, Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen said Wednesday.
The United States, other nations
and advocacy groups have tried to use the attention and prestige associated with the Olympics to leverage internal change and diplomatic cooperation from China.

"It's a good opportunity for China to show that it has improved its regard for human rights," Zen said in an interview with Italy's
Zen, one of the most influential Roman Catholic leaders in Asia, added that he would like to see the Asian country become "one of the top nations that truly defend human rights and work for peace."

Tuesday in its annual report on human rights practices around the world that China still has chronic human rights problems despite rapid economic growth.
Beijing's ties with the Vatican were broken in 1951 after the communists took power in China.
Zen, an outspoken champion of religious freedom who at times has drawn the irre of Beijing authorities, was in Rome for a meeting of Chinese bishops at the Vatican to discuss the problems of the Catholic Church in China.
Catholic clergy in China have at times been jailed and worship is allowed only in state-backed churches, which appoint their own bishops in defiance of the Vatican.
Millions of Chinese belong to unofficial congregations that are loyal to the pope and sometimes risk harassment.
"It's a good opportunity for China to show that it has improved its regard for human rights."
Pope Benedict XVI has made the improvement of often-tense relations with China a priority of his papacy, and he is keen on restoring diplomatic relations with Beijing.
He sent a special letter
But last year, a cleric well-regarded by the Vatican was installed as bishop of Beijing by China's state-controlled Church, a move seen as easing tensions between the Chinese government and the Holy See, which insists that the pope appoint bishops.
JOSEPH ZEN Hong Kong Cardinal
In the interview, Zen did not discuss the meeting but said he
to Catholics in China last year, praising the underground church there but also urging the faithful to reconcile with followers of the
MEN'S BASKETBALL Big 12 Tournament tests two coaches' friendship
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Beating a best pal is never much fun. Victory is certain to feel a bit hollow for whichever coach wins Thursday's Oklahoma State-Texas Tech matchup in the Big 12 Tournament.
Texas Tech's Pat Knight doubts whether Oklahoma State's Sean Sutton even remembers what ignited the tight, enduring friendship that bonds the two young coaches. It happened when Knight was playing for his famous father, Bob, at Indiana and not playing, in the eyes of opinionated Hoosier fans,
very well.
Sutton — something less than a superstar when he played for his own dad, Eddie Sutton — knew exactly how the younger Knight felt.
"It was a tough year for me," Knight said.
"Then I got a letter out of the blue, a couple-page letter from Sean talking about what he had to go through when he had to play for his dad at Kentucky, then transferring to Oklahoma State. I had known Sean, but that kind of took it to another level for a guy to out of the blue write me a letter. I don't even know if he remembers doing it. I just never forgot that."
The two stayed in touch and their friendship grew.
It's remarkable how closely their lives have paralleled. They were the sons of famous fathers, endured insults while playing for dear old dad, and each wound up in the Big 12 as his pop's assistant coach and designated successor.
When Eddie Sutton was involved in an alcohol-related accident during the 2005-06 season, Sean suddenly became a head coach sooner than he had planned.
Then last month, Pat Knight literally woke up to discover he was about to become the Red Raiders' head coach because his father was going to resign unexpectedly.

An inside look at Kansas City
BY MARK DENT AND RUSTIN DODD
Not sure what to do during your stay? Let The Kansan show you how to spend your tournament time
Places to grub
1 Arthur Bryant's, 1727 Brooklyn Ave.. The ultimate Kansas City classic. It's the best barbecue in a city where people take their ribs, brisket and burnt ends seriously.
2 Fritz's, 250 N. 18th St.- OK, so it's not in Kansas City proper, but trust us, you can't skip this place, where the crumbling walls go unnoticed while you wolf down a greasy Poor Dan Sr. and a creamy chocolate shake. Order your food on a phone then wait until a train brings it right to your table Remember to grab a cardboard engineer's hat on your way out Choo-Chool
Arthur Bryant's
Bourbon
Miller

3 Minsky's Pizza, 427 Main St.-It's not flat and big like New York pizza, deep like Chicago's crust or disgusting like St. Louis's awkward, thin contraption. Minsky's is just good, classic pizza.
4 Town Topic, 2121 Broadway and 1900 Baltimore- The burgers are small, greasy and filled with tiny grilled onions. Order at least two, or maybe three if you're really hungry, and saddle up on a stool in this old-fashioned diner.
5 Kona Grill, 444 Ward Parkway- A Country Club Plaza staple. The food can be exotic and the atmosphere is relaxing. Plus, what's KC without a walk on the Plaza.
Places to tour
1 KC Scout Statue, 2698 Main St. This one files way under the radar, perhaps unfairly. Trek up to Penn Valley Park to look at this statue of a Sioux Indian on horseback pointing east. It's a beautiful statue with an even prettier view of downtown.
THE MONUMENT TO THE WINCHESTER BROOKS
2 Liberty Memorial, 100 West 26th St.- Great monument and great museum next to it. Just be careful if you go there at night – not that there's anything wrong with that.

3 Negro Leagues Museum, 1616 East 18th St.- Rest in peace Buck O'Neil, Kansas City misses you.
4
4 Nelson Atkins Museum- After dragging the girlfriend or wife to the basketball tournament all day, reward her by taking her to see the exhibit "In the Public Eye: Photography and Fame."
5 The Country Club Plaza When people think Kansas City, people think of this iconic shopping area. Eat your heart out, Michigan Avenue, the Plaza is the place to shop in the Midwest.
Places to watch in Lawrence if you can't get tickets
1 Jefferson's, 743 Massachusetts St.- Sometimes the fries are too cold when they reach your table, but only sometimes. This is the best place to watch a game on Mass.
2 Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.-From the wooden floors and walls to the location just outside of downtown's hustle and bustle, this place just screams classic.

3 23rd Street Brewery 3512 Clinton Parkway- Call it the modern day Johnny's. The restaurant has more TVs than you'll know what to do with and a beer list that includes 20 home-brewed lagers per year.
4 Bigg's Barbecue, 2429 Iowa St.-If you can't make it to Arthur Bryant's or any other barbecue in Kansas City, this is the best you'll find in Lawrence. Sixteen TV screens also make it a solid game-viewing environment.
5 The Wagon Wheel, 507 W. 14th St.- Get a head start on Friday night by going here for the afternoon games. In addition to making great'za, the Wheel serves Scott Van Pelt's favorite - the "Wangburger."
Places to drink and dance

4 Blonde, 1000 Ward Parkway- Girls, put the Prada bag over your shoulder. Guys, switch your Birkenstocks for the Gucci loafers. Seriously, this is high society at its finest or most obnoxious depending on how you look at it. If you can stomach the long lines and expensive beverages, you'll be rewarded with the most upscale crowd in town. Word is that Christina Aguilera even once stopped in for a drink.
McFadden's, 1330 Grand Blvd.- It's right across the street from the Sprint Center. Even if the only drink they serve is Strawberry Nestle Quik, this place is still too convenient to pass up.
Places to sleep
1 Westin Crown Center, 1 Pershing Road- There's a tennis court on the roof,'nuff said.

5 Royale Inn, 600 Paseo Blvd. - Great highway access to I-29, I-70 and I-35. You might want to bring your own sheets though. Reviews range from "not all that negative" to "preferred to pay $60 not to stay here."
Places to visit at the Sprint Center

Metro Sports Zone-You can slip on a beer - if you're of age and watch tournament games from this bar on the course. Great view.
Possible Matchups to Watch
Kansas, Texas on Sunday-
The Longhorns outclassed the Jayhawks in Austin a month ago. If these teams meet in the championship, the winner might get a No.1 seed for the NCAA Tournament.
Kansas State, Texas A&M on Friday - See Baylor, Oklahoma above. If Texas A&M wins on Thursday, this becomes a de facto elimination game for the NCAA tournament. Both teams might still make it if they lose, but it would be smart to snatch this game up.
Kansas, Kansas State on Saturday - Will Kansas City work for Michael Beasley? The Sprint Center would be a great venue for the rubber match between the Hawks and Cats.
Players who excite
A. K. R.
Baylor, Oklahoma on Friday: If the Bears win in the first round, they'll play the Sooners at 2 p.m. Whoever wins this will go from bubble team to lock. Whoever loses will have to sweat for another 48 hours.
Kansas, Missouri on Friday This matchup will happen if the Tigers beat Nebraska on Thursday. Kansas City's two most popular schools would make for a great environment at the Sprint Center.

Woods hopes to reverse four-year trend, conquer King
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) _ Tiger Woods used to play like royalty on The King's course.
Woods was a skinny 15-year-old when he won his first U.S. Junior title at Bay Hill in 1991. When he first hit his stride as a pro, Woods set a record by winning four straight years at what is now the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the last one was a joke. Despite dehydration and the dry heavens, he won by 11 shots.
So this would seem like an ideal spot for Woods to keep alive a winning streak that dates to September, except for one thing.
As brilliant as he was during that four-year stretch through 2003, he has played like a court jester ever since.
He has not fared better than 20th over the last four years, his longest such drought of any tournament in the world.
"I just haven't play well, simple as that," Woods said Wednesday. "This golf course, you have to play well on it in order to win the tournament. You can't go out there and slap it around and try and shoot something in the mid-60s here."
A year ago might have been the low point. He hit into the water on the last two holes, closing double bogey-triple bogey for a 43 on the back nine that dropped him into a tie for 22nd.
Then again, last year seems like a lifetime now.
Woods has been unbeatable since he was a runner-up to Phil Mickelson at the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston, winning twice after that to capture the inaugural FedEx Cup, then starting his PGA Tour season with an eight-shot victory at the Buick Invitational and a record 8-and-7 victory in the Accenture Match Play Championship, and shooting 31 on the back nine to win the Dubai Desert Classic.
The last two PGA Tour victories put him at 63 for his career, moving past Palmer — The King — on the career list.
"We don't have time for me to tell you what I think about Tiger and his golf," Palmer said.
Wednesday. "Because I think that right now, he has got it by the neck, and he's choking it. And he should."
Bay Hill is the true start to Woods' road to the Masters, the first leg of a Grand Slam that he has said was "easily within reason." Next up is the CA Championship at Doral, where Woods has won three straight years.
N
Palmer was genuinely concerned a month ago when he brought in top agronomists from the country and himself looked into a microscope to learn about nematode, a type of worm on a blade of grass that was killing the greens at Bay Hill.
Undergraduate Research Awards

Tiger Woods smiles on the first hole tee box during the 2008 Arnold Palmer invitational Pro-Arm competition in Orlando. Fla., Wednesday.
Up to $3,000
ASSOCIATED PRESS
in awards are available to support undergraduate research from June-December 2008.
Information and applications can be obtained the at www.honors.ku.edu/ugra.shtml or in Nunemaker Center
Deadline for complete applications is April 1,2008
Sod was plugged on some of the greens, and the PGA Tour posted a notice last week that greens were improved, but would not be ideal. The early scouting report was they were fine on the front nine, a bit shaky on the back.
Projects require a faculty sponsor. Any Lawrence-campus undergraduate is eligible. Please inform qualified students of these awards..
Mainly, they will be slower than usual.
"They are not very good," Woods said. "It's going to be an interesting week on them. You're going to see a lot of guys hit good putts and they're going to go weird ways, unfortunately. But, hey — we've all got to deal with it."
A victory for Woods at Bay Hill would give him four tournaments that he has won at least five times.
"He can play pretty average and win," Masters champion Zach Johnson said. "Most of us have to play pretty darned good. Plus, he's got that Nicklaus aura when he's in contention."
Even so, Bay Hill has been feast or famine for Woods.
During four bountiful years of posing with Palmer and the silver sword trophy, Woods had a 67.93 scoring average and was 65-under par. In the four lean years that followed, his average has been 71.37,
and he is a combined 2 under.
Perhaps more noteworthy is he only three-putted twice over 288 holes of winning. During the drought, he has had eight three-puttts.
Woods has not played the last two weeks, at least golf.
He did face John Smoltz in a simulated game during Atlanta Braves spring training, and while Woods wasn't forthcoming with
details, the Atlanta Journal- Constitution said he was 1-for-3 with two strikeouts, and a single up the middle on a 75 mph change-up.
As for the golf?
"I'm heading in the right direction," Woods said. "Really excited about the way I'm progressing this year so far. Getting better each and every event, which is good."

best enemies a touching tale of sisterly rivalry
Green is my homeboy, Or girl. Ever since I can remember, green has been my favorite color. It's the color of a new spring after a harsh winter, of Link’s forest tunic (from the Zelda video games for those of you who aren’t familiar), of perfectly plump and succulent Granny Smith apples...the list goes on and on.
And green is much more than just a color. It’s a place (the green of a golf course) a belief suit wanted to bring you the Green Issue, an entire issue dedicated to the wonder that is “green,” and every meaning of the word.
Check out Travis’ story on page 11, which explores the environmentally friendly aspects of mini golf courses. Dianne’s story on page 12 dissects the hazards of disposing of electronics unsafely and what you can do to help reduce the growing problem of e-waste. And if you're interested in gardening, be sure to read Peyton’s article on page 16 about how to start your own small-space garden.
So enjoy this dose of legal greenage, dear readers, and if it starts wearing off remember that St.

what it's like TO CHASE STORMS
The sky is dark, and the air is filled with the sound of wind and rain buffeting your vehicle. The radio squawks with severe weather warnings, advising everyone to seek shelter. But that's not for you. Instead you scan the skies, hoping to see that trademark funnel cloud amidst the crashes of lightning and peals of thunder.
March marks the start of tornado season in Kansas.
Josh Berg, Chicago senior; looks forward to storm chasing season so he can practice his favorite hobby. Berg started storm chasing last year with his roommates and says he was immediately hooked.
They tracked a storm outside Colony, Kan., where they encountered a tornado. Berg says the funnel lifted up, passed over them and came down on the nearby town."I was just sitting there, half-excited, half-scared, thinking ,'What's going to happen?'" he says."It was one of the happiest moments of my storm chasing career." Berg says the group tried to follow the tornado, but had to let it go because the roads were icy.
5
questions
Berg says there is a lot to know about storm chasing, and if you don't know what's going on, it can be a scary and dangerous experience. He says that he was scared the first couple of times, but got over it. Now he says that no other experience compares to the thrill of storm chasing.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TV STATION?
The Sundance Channel because they do great environmental pieces. And a disliciament—I'm a host for the channel.
MacKenzie Hegedusich Olathe junior
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES?
I'm a big nerd because I love Cartoon Network, Comedy Central and the Discovery Channel.
I love to go running, read and post blogs on my class Web site, www.mediaenvironment.wordpress.com. It's for my Media arid the Environment class, but anyone can post.
I like to draw and paint. I also do a little parkour, which is running and vaulting over walls and rollings that is popular overseas.
That I'm not Irish and I don't have to celebrate it.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING
ABOUT ST. PATRICK'S DAY?
Green. It's my favorite color.
WHO IS YOUR HERO?
On a local level, Sarah Hill-Nelson of Bowersock Mills and Power Company who manages the low-impact Bowersock Dam here in town and is committed to renewable energy sources for Kansas. She inspires me because she really balances out the fact that we need jobs, we need to save money and we need to save the planet.
HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR LIFE GREEN? I try to keep my life green in everything I do in my work and relationships. I may not do everything right, but my goal is to encourage others and, with that, change will happen.
I don't really have one, but anyone who fights for justice and the rights of others I would consider my hero, such as Nelson Mandela and Gandhi.

GREEN JEANS
Back in the '80s, a pair of dyed green jeans might be exactly what you were looking for on a Saturday shopping spree. Today, the green theme is even more prevalent, but it doesn't rely on a dye job.
The universal clothing item is traditionally made of denim, which is made from cotton. Commercial cotton growers usually use large amounts of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. By using organic cotton or other fibers such as hemp, jeans can be more environmentally friendly. Some manufacturers of blue jeans have decided to surf the green wave and make their products not just eco-friendly, but eco-fabulous.
The organic clothing company Loomstate uses raw organic cotton yarn to create jeans both eco-conscious and body-conscious in styles for men and women. The jeans run between $150-$175 a pair. The Web site www.treehugger.com provides guys and girls with lists of styles and benefits for sustainable jeans from companies such as Mavi, Edun and Planet Earth Green Label. Levi's also put an organic twist on their classic jeans creating a line conveniently called "Levi's Eco". The jeans are 100 percent organic cotton and use recycled buttons, rivets and zippers. Prices fall anywhere between $68 to $245 a pair.
"With the growing awareness of environmental issues, it's becoming more important to do our part to help," says Amber McCallum, accounting executive at Mavi Jeans
USA."Young people are getting more involved with the environment, and we want to keep up. Organic denim definitely helps with the next steps towards saving the environment. Every little bit helps."

what it's like TO LANDSCAPE CAMPUS
1200
Landscapers beautify campus throughout the year.
Bob Abbott works at the University of Kansas all year, but he's not a professor; administrator or any other member of the faculty. Abbott is a maintenance service supervisor, which means he works on landscaping our beloved campus.
Abbott leads a seven-person crew—one of four on campus. Abbott's crew focuses mainly on trees, but recently took care of pulling the dead tops off of all the irises decorating the Hill. It's one of several jobs that the 33 full-time and eight temporary staff members are responsible for handling.According to Mike Lang, director of Facilities Operations, crews are responsible for planting the 14,000 tulips used each year (along with a variety of other plants and flowers), providing upkeep for all of the plants and, most
importantly, picking up trash. Lang says most crew members will spend some part of every shift on garbage duty.
While gathering trash is a year-round project, a lot of jobs the maintenance crew is responsible for vary depending on the season and can be especially intense during bad weather. Lang credits his staff's quick response for the campus's usually swift rebound after a storm and says that, during the microburst in spring 2006, his crew was there, ready to work, without him having to call and ask them to come in. It's this dedication that makes KU one of the most beautiful campuses in the Midwest.

The Green-Eved Relationship Killer
How to resolve jealousy in relationships
By Jessie Fetterling jfetterling@kansan.com
Chelsea Mertz, Topeka sophomore, admits to being a really jealous person. After she and her boyfriend broke up, she saw him soon after at a party with another girl. When he started dancing with the girl right in front of her, she kicked him in the back with her heel, which, she later found out, left a huge bruise and welt.
Jennifer Taylor, Leawood senior, and Tom Arnspiger, Fairway senior, had been dating for two years and living together for about nine months when Taylor discovered a link to a porn Web site on Arnspiger's computer. She was angry and a little offended because she assumed that he had a wandering eye, when in reality Arnspinger says it was nothing and the site had just come up as he was passing to another site. As a solution, Taylor suggested that the two make their own sex tape. Weeks later, while again snooping around her boyfriend's online history, she found another similar link. Outraged, Taylor quickly decided to punish Arnspiger by taping over their homemade rendezvous with footage of their cat sleeping.
The couple broke up six months later, and Taylor says her joyous played a part in it.
People in relationships often find themselves jealous of something their lover does, whether it's flirting, talking to an ex-girlfriend or watching porn. Jealousy can be dealt with in other ways besides breaking up, though.
In these cases, Collins suggests asking yourself what it is you want and how you can go about getting it.
"Jealousy is basically just seeing someone else getting what you want," says Susie Collins, Ohio-based author and relationship coach.
Most people who feel jealous are insecure with
isn't any room for jealousy." Collins says.
A new-age promoter of jealousy is the Facebook or MySpace wall. Both Michael Solganik, Overland Park freshman, and Andrew Rogers, Olathe senior, say their girlfriends have complained when other girls write on their walls, even if it was something as harmless as, "Haven't seen you in awhile." In Rogers' case, one of the girls who had posted on his wall was a lesbian.
Jodi jakylovich, Gower, Mo, senior, describes a time when she went out with a guy friend who
"You have to give up being the martyr and the victim and make sure that your partner is committed to making the relationship work."—Susie Collins, author
something in the relationship, Collins says, and this eventually needs to be healed, or nothing good will come of the relationship.
With all the new ways to meet and communicate with people, there are now also more sources for potential jealousy. However, it usually just means there's something else wrong in the relationship." If your relationship is solid, there
had just returned from Afghanistan. The next morning she awoke to find that her boyfriend had blacked out all the windows of her car with shoe polish. Needless to say, he and Jakylovich are no longer together.
The best way to overcome jealousy is to first figure out if something is going on that should give you a reason to be jealous, or if you are just
making assumptions. Then you and your partner need to come to an agreement and work toward having a closer, more understanding relationship. It's important to start there instead of accusing and arguing. People usually become jealous because their lovers are more flirty than they are. In this case, Collins says to remember that your boyfriend or girlfriend loves you and he or she is going home with you, not anyone else.
When someone has cheated, it can be difficult to forgive because trust is a hard thing to build back up. Collins says, however, that if you want to rekindle that relationship you need to set aside your feelings and try to open yourself up to really try in the relationship. "You have to give up being the martyr and the victim and make sure that your partner is committed to making the relationship work," Collins says.
Not everyone can stop his or her partner from watching porn or talking to an ex or even the occasional flirtation. Instead, the thing to ask yourself is: Why am I jealous of this? If the reason is fixable, then communicate with your partner and move on. If it's not, then there will be a lot of unreasonable blow-ups that can lead to an unhappy ending for both people in the relationship. Everyone gets jealous. it's how you handle it that makes your relationship a worthwhile one.

I can't believe it. I've been had.
He softly wrapped his arms around me and leaned in to whisper sweet nothings into my ear.

"Do you like tofu?" my vegan then-boyfriend cooed.
I shuddered at the thought of eating something with the texture of a cloud and the flavor of a dirty sock.
"Soon enough, baby, soon enough."
I thought nothing of it,but he had unknowingly planted the seed of a vegetable-based lifestyle in my mind.
Fast forward a few weeks to the break-up dinner, where I'm shoveling blocks of Thai-flavored tofu down my throat in an attempt to salvage the relationship.
I was devastated, but after he left, I vowed to give up meat to win him back. I had no idea I had just become the victim of vegan-sexuality.
Vegan-sexuals reject meat-eaters as partners, but they turn meat-eaters into vegans through the most effective recruiting tool known to college-age students: sex,and the newest STD,a sexually transmitted declaration.
But there I was among all the right vegetarians for all the wrong reasons. I didn't care if thousands of cattle were being needlessly killed, My heart had been pumped full of hormones, grown quickly at an unnatural rate and then slaughtered.
Good to know that vegans can spread their awareness, among other things, to the general meat-eating public.
Because of the break-up, I hadn't been fully converted to veganism, but I did take the huge slice of meat out of my life.
He wasn't having any of it.
This made vegetarianism a horrible battle that I knew would last until the cows came home.
By Day 41, the dreams returned. I was nestled all snug in my bed while visions of Brella's crunchy chicken cheddar wraps (no lettuce or
"People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals strongly advocates interdietary relationships," says Ryan Huling, PETA's college campaign coordinator. "We believe that if at all possible and appropriate, every vegan should sleep with a meat-eater so as to let the carnivores experience the difference, the energy and stamina of a vegan lover."

tomato) danced in my head.
"You're dreaming about meat?" a friend asked. "You're the worst vegetarian ever."
It was becoming increasingly harder to stick to my guns, (which I don't use to kill animals), but now I'm at Day 73, and the meat desires have mostly subsided, partially because of Feb. 18's largest beef recall in the history of the United States.
Thank you, undercover videos of lax USDA inspectors!
We live in a society that questions the degree of things: Barack Obama is black enough, and Hillary Clinton is woman enough, but is being a vegetarian "vegan" enough?
"Anyone who is taking a step to reduce their meat consumption is headed in the right direction," Huling says. "Some people may not feel comfortable going vegan overnight, which is why we encourage people to start with solid steps, whether that means eating one vegetarian meal a week or even once a month."
I haven't yet stretched my vegan-sexual wings to convert others,but opening minds to the concept is half the battle.
Judy Carman, co-organizer of VegLawrence, a local vegan potluck held monthly, says it's best to approach people in a gentle, compassionate way.
"Most of us were meat-eaters until we learned something," she says."You should get to know people the best you can."
I've been had. I felt like a piece of low-grade tofu that had been chewed up and spit out, but in the end, I accepted that piece of tofu as an integral part of my life.
I won't argue that vegetarians taste better, but since I was impregnated with the notion of vegan-sexuality, I've progressed from a vegetarian full of spite and revenge to a vegetarian full of peace, love and pesticide-free vegetables.
All is fair in love and dealing with vegan whores.

With a large selection of clothes made from recycled materials, Ecotobiquo lets environmentally conscious Lawrencians wear what they preach. Located at 13 E.Eighth St., the store sells women's fashions, ranging from T-shirts and dresses to purses. Most of the items in the store are created using things like old records, license plates and clothes picked up at yard sales and thrift shops. Some items, like some of the more complicated dresses, are made up of more than a dozen pieces of clothing.
Most of the clothes in the store don't look like anything you would find in your typical clothing shop. Owner Loni Hosking says you can get a bit of an eclectic rock star look going with how different many of the clothes are compared to what most people wear. Prices range from about $15 for miniskirts to $160 or more for some of the more elaborate dresses.

The ball never falls far from the tee: In mini golf, it's much easier to keep your eye on the ball, meaning fewer balls go to waste.
Putter, putter of the ball,which green is the greenest of them all?
By Travis Brown

Fairway Park
An overview of Safari Golf, 7523 SW 21st St., in Topeka.
Carter House, Prairie Village senior, is counting down the days till he can swing a nine iron again."I miss being in the outdoors—out in the sun," says House. "I just want to get in a cart with a cooler full of beer and tear that golf course a new one."
Once Old Man Winter finally loosens his grasp on Lawrence, many students will arise from hibernation and flock to golf courses for some quality time with Mother Nature.
According to the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, the United States is home to more than 2.2 million acres of golf courses. Think of all the water that goes into keeping those courses lush all season long. Think of all the pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer that are needed to keep courses as protected, as pristine, and as green as the Emerald City.With all the toxic runoff, deforestation and harm to natural habitats, maybe these green acres aren't the place to be.
This information might be disheartening to those of you who eagerly await the days when the weather will finally permit you to take the fuzzy socks off your golf clubs and get freaky-deaky Tiger Woods-style. But never fear, steel swingers. There is a green alternative to hitting the greens: putt-putt.
Ah yes, miniature golf those delightful plots of land filled with synthetic carpet, fake windmills and two-foot-deep water traps. Who knew that they could be so eco-friendly?
Well, they're not. They're not green by any means. Most mini golf courses are made of processed wood and concrete. The turf is made of silicone, rubber and polypropylene, a plastic obtained from a by-product of oil refining. Then there's all that bright, toxic paint that goes into making courses look like the love child of a community park and a McDonald's playhouse.
But all those materials are used so these courses will last for decades without much need for maintenance. Ralph Lomma, founder of Lomma Enterprises, a miniature golf course manufacturer, says courses are made to last at least 25 years. And he would know: The man has been making golf courses since 1951. Lomma is credited as the creator of the mini golf windmill and the annoying clown that spits back
your balls with a spiteful grin.
There aren't many things that stay intact and enjoyable a quarter of a century after they were manufactured. And longevity is an important element of sustainability. Even if the courses are made out of eco-no-no's, they require virtually no upkeep or chemicals, and they take up about $1/300^{th}$ the amount of land standard golf courses do. They're there, and they're not leaving, so you might as well enjoy them.
Lawrence only has one mini golf course, located inside the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Dr., but there are 10 other courses within 35 miles of town.
Some students, like John Irvine. Leavenworth junior, frequent these nearby courses. Irvine and his friends make the drive to Smiley's Golf Complex in Lenexa about once a month.
Terri Tuntland, Chicago junior, learned the art of putt-putt from her family
"I used to go play with this guy I was dating," she says. "I would kick his butt. I didn't mean to kill him—I couldn't help it. Sometimes he would get angry. He broke a putter once."
members, who often bet on games. Since coming to KU,Tuntland has remained an avid mini golfer.Her only problem is finding worthy opponents.
Golf is known as a lifetime game that you can enjoy long after your body prevents you from playing contact or fast-paced sports. But when your back and joints start rotting away, and you get that hip replaced, you might think otherwise.
"Mini golf really is a sport for all ages," says Lomma. "With golf, 4-year-olds are too young to swing a club and 94-year-olds are too old to walk all 18 holes. Mini golf lets a child and his 94-year-old grandpa play together."
Mini golf truly is a lifelong game. It is a wonder that people often compare
life to golf, but not to its miniature counterpart. Maybe life would be a little better if it were more like mini golf.
After all, in mini golf, no one takes things
too seriously, the obstacles are never too great, and you never have to worry about losing your balls.

How to tackle electronic t
Reusing and recycling computers and TVs is easier than you think
By Dianne Smith
dsmith@kansan.com
My dad collects old computers. To him, they're antiques.
He says it's like owning a '55 Chevy.
He goes to garage sales on Saturday mornings and brings home computer parts of all sorts. He tinkers around with them, just as you would with an old car, and eventually pieces together a working computer.
It's a hobby, but it's also my dad's way of reducing electronic waste. He likes to save computers that other people would have thrown away. Just a couple years ago, he bought a nearly new computer from a guy at a garage sale. "The windows are broken," the guy said, referring to the Windows operating system. My dad took it home and reinstalled Windows, bringing it back to life. It was a simple fix, but one that not everyone knows is possible.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 2 million tons of electronic waste was thrown away in 2005, while only 350,000 tons was recycled. Electronic waste, or e-waste, includes computers, printers, microwaves, TVs, cell phones and other consumer electronics. About 2 billion units of consumer electronics were sold between 1980 and 2004, and about half of those products are still in use or being reused today. The other half is in storage or in landfills, or has been recycled or exported to third-world countries.
Most of my dad's random computer parts are worthless, but he does have a few prized possessions. He has a '94 Power Macintosh 7100 and an '82 Kaypro II, the first portable computer. My dad's antiques are a few of the 180 million consumer electronics still in storage. The owners don't use these products, but
they haven't gotten rid of them yet.
"There's a lot of people that have computers in our basements or cell phones in a drawer that they don't know what to do with," says Jeff Severin, director of the KU Center for Sustainability.
As much as my mom complains about the junk in the basement, electronics in storage aren't the problem. The problem comes when consumers decide to dispose of these products.
Dangers of e-waste
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, e-waste accounts for only 2 percent of the solid waste in landfills. But that 2 percent can cause a big problem. Electronics contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury, which can leach into groundwater after being put in landfills and escaping from the landfill's rubberized liner.
"When you put something in a landfill, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to stay there," Severin says.
Although humans do require trace amounts of some metals, heavy metals are toxic. Lead is found in the glass in TVs and computer monitors made with cathode-ray tubes, or CRTs, which were the only monitors available before flat-screen displays. Small amounts are also found in the solder and other connectors.The older CRTs contain as much as 7 lbs. of lead, while the newer ones have about 2 lbs.
Nickel-cadmium batteries were used in laptops and other portable electronics before nickel-metal hydride and lithium ion batteries were invented. Mercury is used in the bulbs that light flat-panel monitors and laptops.The EPA says all three metals can cause numerous health problems and even death in high concentrations.
Kansas "E" Recycling sorts the products it receives, such as these CRT monitors, by type when storing them in its warehouse. Because CRT monitors can contain as many as 7 lbs. of lead, it's important to recycle them.
your electronics
How to recycle
UNI Computers, 1403 W.23rd St., will accept all consumer electronics except microwaves, TVs and freestanding units such as large copiers. Dodge/Carroll Electronics, 1016 S.W. Sixth St. in Topeka, accepts the same products as UNI, but it also accepts microwaves.
If you are buying a new computer,ask the store if it will dispose of your old one.Most companies,including Best Buy,Apple,HP and Dell,will recycle your old computer for free.You can also contact the manufacturer of your old computer,as most companies will take back their products.
The City of Lawrence is sponsoring an electronic recycling drive on April 26 in the Lied Center parking lot. The details of what products will be accepted have yet to be decided, but check www.lawrencerecycles.org for more information.
Kansas "E" Recycling sponsors two recycling drives each year, usually in August and in December, which take place at the drop-off points in Lawrence and Topeka. Go to www. kansaserecycling.com for more information.
'The real recyclers'
Despite the dangers of heavy metals, the EPA reports that just 15 to 20 percent of electronics are recycled. This number has remained steadily since 1999, simply because the number of obsolete products continues to increase even as the rate of recycling increases.
In 2005, about 350 million individual electronic products, weighing 2.2 million tons, became obsolete. The average lifespan for most electronics is five years, and because of the increasing rate at which new technology is released, the number of obsolete electronics increases every year.
"Those parts and pieces take up a big part of our dumpsters," Hoins says. "Keeping these things out of landfills is the environmentally responsible thing to do." The service is available only for campus departments, not individuals or students. The computers and other electronics that KU Recycling collects are stored in a warehouse on West Campus until they can be picked up by Kansas "E" Recycling, a Lawrence-based company that prides itself on not sending anything to landfills.
To combat this problem, the University has been running its own electronic recycling program for about seven years. From July 2006 to June 2007, KU Recycling collected 5 tons of electronic waste. Celeste Hoins, administrative manager for KU Recycling, says electronic recycling is encouraged but not mandatory on campus.
"We're the real recyclers." says Brent Lee, operations manager for Kansas "E" Recycling. "We do all the bad stuff that no one wants to do."
Choosing a reputable recycler is important because many companies do what is called "asset recovery," which includes taking the parts that can be reused or sold for profit and sending the rest to landfills. Real recycling is expensive because it's labor-intensive to separate the different materials within the products.
Kansas "E" Recycling accepts almost all electronics for free. It charges $10 to recycle computer monitors and microwaves and $1 per diagonal inch for TVs, meaning that a 27-inch TV would cost $27 to recycle. These costs cover the company's labor costs,
which go to employees who painstakingly separate the plastics from the metals. Lee says the company needs volume to be successful, and will wait until it has a large amount of one element, such as metal that can be sold as scrap metal, before it gets rid of it. The company sells whatever materials it can, but most often it is just trying to break even.
"Recycling is not always profitable." Lee says, "but it's the right thing to do."
UNI Computers, 1403 W.23rd St., is Kansas "E" Recycling's only consumer drop-off point in Lawrence.The company has another drop-off point in Topeka at Dodge/Carroll Electronics, 1016 S.W.
Computers and Dodge/Carroll Electronics also hold special recycling drives during the August back-to-school season and during the December holiday season to collect microwaves and TVs.
Reduce and reuse
Repairing, reusing or donating old computers is the best way to reduce e-waste before it has to be recycled. Computer companies are making their products in a more environmentally friendly way.This

year,Apple released the Macbook Air,which has no mercury or arsenic and uses an LED backlight to light up the screen, which uses less energy, Its 100 percent aluminum shell can be recycled just like an aluminum soda can.
"Technology is so necessary nowadays. We just need to be more aware of the options out there," says Bobby Grace, Prairie Village junior and green expert at the Tech Shop."As soon as it is actually engineering and financially possible, the companies are going to do it."
Newer computers help conserve energy, too. Intel introduced its Core Duo II technology, which allows two processors to be packaged on one board, using less materials and less energy.The Core Duo processor was first used in the Macbook Air, but other computer manufacturers have since requested it. Grace says HP even includes prepaid recycling
envelopes with each of its ink cartridges.
Both UNI Computers and the Tech Shop make an effort to help the consumer figure out what's wrong with their computer before they let the consumer buy a new one.
"We're here to do what's best for you," says Chad Frickey, manager of UNI Computers. "We're not trying to sell as many machines as possible."
Frickey says that although most customers don't know about recycling computers, being a drop-off point helps bring in customers.
"Responsible companies get more people through
the door," says Lee of Kansas "E" Recycling, who adds that the drop-off points get free advertising for their recycling program on the City of Lawrence Web site, www.lawrencerecycles.org. The Web site also lists other locations where consumers can recycle specific products.
Robert Brewer, 2007 KU graduate and senior technician at the Tech Shop,says his family got into recycling after he performed in his third-grade musical about recycling."We had a song for each type of recycling with different types of music, even rap," Brewer says. "Electronic recycling was part of it."

flood
In February 2009, all publicly broadcast channels will stop transmitting in analog and switch to digital transmissions. Older CRT TVs that receive free TV using antennas will become obsolete after the switch, unless you buy an analog-to-digital converter to prolong the life of the TV.
"There's going to be a flood of these TVs next year, and no one wants to take responsibility for recycling them," says Brent Lee of Kansas "E" Recycling.
The U.S. government is sponsoring a campaign that gives coupons for converters to consumers. The converters cost $50 to $70, and the coupons cover $40 of the purchase price. As of March 10, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration has received almost 4 million applications for converters. Go to www. DTY2009.gov to apply for a coupon.
Consumers who pay for cable or satellite transmissions will not be affected by the switchover. Newer TVs that have built-in digital converters also will not be affected.

Staying Healthy Vegetarians and vegans take special steps to get their nutrients with Healthy Eating
By Jeff Briscoe jbriscoe@kansan.com
Vegetarianism isn't just a trend. There are a variety of reasons behind becoming a vegetarian, ranging from religion to health concerns to animal cruelty concerns.
Whatever the reason, though, nutritionists say people should be sure to research dietary choices to prepare their bodies for the switch.Registered dietician Dina Aronson says people considering becoming vegetarian should first consult a dietitian who specializes in vegetarian diets.
particularly important for a vegan to be sure he or she is not consuming any animal products, Bessa says this can be just as important for people who are not even vegetarian.
"I live in a scholarship hall. I see how girls don't pay attention to their vegetables or fruits," Bessa says.
Aronson, who is also president of Welltech Solutions, says vegans and even regular omnivores should take care to get more vitamins D and B12. She says that vitamin D cannot be found in meats but can be found in some milk products and juices On the other hand, B12 can be
at time, but has now stopped.
"I get sick every two or three weeks because I don't get enough iron or protein," Cable says. "I used to take a vitamin, but now I don't. I guess I really should but I haven't really looked into it."
Vegetarians tend to eat less grease and fat and usually consume more nutrients that can help

Aronson says there are many different classifications of people who are vegetarian, but everyone should be informed about his or her diet. She suggests that, at the very least, people read a well- researched book about the issue. She recommends the books Becoming Vegan and Becoming Vegetarian, both by Vesanto Melina and Brenda Davis, as good starts to learning about vegetarianism.

EMERGENCY SERVICE
In this seemingly never-ending blustery weather, coffee and cocoa are perfect for warming us up.And when the weather changes from frigid to sweltering, soda and juice will cool us down. But there's one healthy beverage that can be served piping hot and thirst-quenching cold, and also has the ability to kick-start your immune system: green tea. This natural drink is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis bush. Immediately after the leaves are plucked, they are steamed or pan-fired to prevent fermentation. The unfermented leaves contain catechins, which are potent antioxidants and disease-fighters. Nadine Taylor, registered dietician and author of Green Tea:The Natural Secret to a Healthier Life, says green tea is the only natural source of large amounts of catechins. A 6-ounce cup of green tea contains about 50 to 100 mg of cathechins.Taylor says catechins provide numerous health benefits including lower cholesterol, weight loss and decreased tooth decay.Aside from that.Taylor says, green tea contains flavonols—which combat free radicals—vitamin C,various B vitamins, vitamin E and flouride.She says that green tea extract, like in green tea pills, contains many times more catechins and vitamins than the drink does. So today, when you feel a

Small Gardens Learn how to grow vegetables in minimal space
dens
By Peyton Baldwin
pbaldwin@kansan.com
When I was growing up, my family always had a huge garden. We planted corn, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, green beans and onions. I hated picking all those vegetables, but I loved eating them. I've been lucky enough to have a decent-sized space for a garden all my life, but what about those who have small or no yards, particularly students? I set out to discover how to grow a garden in a limited space.
Minimal space, many options
Garden expert and author David Cavagnaro says container gardening is the best option for people without a yard. All you need is a big pot or even a 5-gallon bucket. Containers are portable, so they can go on a deck or a porch, and can even be brought inside if the weather is bad. Simply fill the containers with soil, make sure there is a hole in the bottom of the pot for drainage, and then plant your seeds.
Another option is to grow vertically.Aaron

Olsen, Overland Park senior, says tomatoes don't naturally grow vertically, but if you stake them or put cages around them, they will grow upward. Olsen is the creator of the KU Campus Garden, and he says it is definitely possible to have a garden in a small yard. Even if you only have 4 to 8 feet of space, you can still plant some vegetables. Lee Reich, author of Weedless Gardening, suggests using a trellis to help plants grow taller instead of wider. This also allows you to plant something on both sides of the trellis.
Becoming involved with Campus Garden is also an option. Olsen began the garden in 2005 behind the University Relations building, which is across from the Kansas Union.The Garden has since moved,and Margaret Tran,Derby sophomore,is now one of the co-coordinators of the project.The group is beginning work on a new garden located on Louisiana Street between $13^{\mathrm{th}}$ and $14^{\mathrm{th}}$ Streets.
are planting inside in th
Planting the seeds
Barbara Pleasant, contributing editor for Mother Earth News magazine, says starting a garden is simple. "The earth really wants to grow things," Pleasant says. "Look at an unmowed lawn or a field of weeds. Things are tilted towards success." She says a packet of seeds and 30 minutes with a shovel is all you need to get your garden growing. Use scrap lumber to make a small bed, add some soil and plant your seeds. Pleasant's daughter uses small containers placed in a window to grow herbs.
Olsen says if you are starting with a space outside, use a shovel to dig down about a foot into the soil and break it up. Add some leaves or compost to the soil so that it's not too dense. This will allow the plant's roots to breathe. Most seed packets or plants will include instructions about how deep they should be planted, so dig holes in your newly mixed soil and drop the seeds in.
Other guidelines
William Adams, co-author of The Southern Kitchen Garden, suggests looking for plants that are fairly intensive so you can harvest them a little at a time. Also make sure you have a container that's large enough for what you are planting. He says tomatoes will need about 15-20 gallons of soil, but herbs and
leafy greens need 5 gallons or less. Adam Fiedler, Holton senior, suggests planning ahead. Fielder says knowing where and what you are planting is very important. You can start seeds
inside in smaller containers and transfer
them outside once the weather is warmer and the plants are a decent size."Buying plants from a store is definitely easier than starting from seeds, but you can plant seeds now," he says. He also says to make sure
you water. Sunlight is the most important thing for indoor plants or herbs, so make sure the plants are in a window with full sun, he says.
If you are planting in small pots to sit in a window, Pleasant suggests turning the plants daily to allow all sides of the plant to receive sunlight, and to water them daily.
Sequencing of crops is also a good idea to get the most return out of your space, Reich says. Lettuce is a cold-hardy crop and can be planted now Within 30-40 days you'll have lettuce and can then plant something else in its place. Olsen suggests planting a few seeds a week in case there is a frost or to just make sure you have a continuous crop.
I currently have an 8 x 8 foot garden in my backyard but I've struggled with deciding which crops to plant. Now I think I will plant smaller plants like green and jalapeno peppers and some tomatoes in containers to allow for other larger plants in my garden. If you do not have a plot of land or space for containers, look into community gardens or the KU Campus Garden so you, too, can enjoy wonderful, fresh vegetables.

reuse it MAKE YOUR OWN MULCH
For many, spring signals the beginning of yard and gardening season. If you tend your own garden, or simply need to pot some plants, creating your own mulch is an easy and environmentally friendly practice. Felicia Alvarado, Salina sophomore, began composting because it's one more way to recycle."I hope to use it for a herb garden," says Alvarado. Composting gives new life to kitchen and yard waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average household produces more than 200 pounds of kitchen waste every year—75 which can be composted. Yard trimmings combined with kitchen wastes comprise 24 percent of all solid waste sent to landfills in the U.S. That's a lot of waste that it could be reused compost.
Felicia Alvarado's homemade mulch.
Compost is one of nature's best mulches. You can use it instead of commercial fertilizers. Best of all, compost is cheap. You can make it without spending a dime. Making your own composter is quick and easy. First, decide on the scale of your composting operation. The more kitchen and yard waste you plan on turning into mulch, the larger your composter will need to be. Making a small-scale composter is simple. Start by drilling holes in the bottom of a plastic storage container to allow for aeration, then add soil and water along with your waste to get
things started. Place your composter in an area of your lawn that is exposed to sunlight and is well drained.Make sure to keep the top on this helps retain moisture and speeds up the decomposition process.Shaking up the contents of your compostor every few weeks will also speed things up.Hint: If you plan to add kitchen scraps,keep it accessible to the back door so you'll actually use it.

how we met GREEN LOVE
They shared many of the same classes, but it wasn't until physically bumping into each other while walking into one of their environmental policy courses that they ever spoke. Brian Sifton, Kansas City, Mo, senior, saw this as an opportunity to talk to Lacy Johnston, 2007 graduate, a girl he considered both cool and beautiful. Having just returned from a KU Environs camping trip, Sifton stuck up a conversation with Johnston about the microburst that hit Lawrence in spring

2006, and they soon became friends.
They found out they shared the same taste in music, interest in traveling and environmental philosophies.
Not only did Sifton encourage Johnston to get involved with KU Environics, a student organization that promotes the awareness of environmental issues, but he eventually asked her out on a date. Sifton is now the president of KU Environics, and
Johnston, who has since graduated, is still involved with the club."With our schedules being so busy this semester. Environs really helps us get to spend more time with each other," Johnston says. They have been dating for almost two years.

Your own Bonsai Tree
Little known fact: A group of unicorns is called a blessing.
Another little known fact: "bonsal" does not refer to a type of tree, but is actually a method of growing and pruning trees.
While bonsai trees were originally meant for the great outdoors, recent trends have made them more popular as indoor plants, and thus more readily accessible. You can usually find them in the floral departments of many popular grocery stores.
Bonsai trees make great indoor
plants because they are stylish, easy to maintain and are just so damn cure. Even if you're a bit neglectful of your tiny tree, these little guys are resilient and can survive while without constant watering and attention (just don't let it become a habit).
So, if you're looking for a way to get started,
check out Web sites like www.bonsogarden.org for

To Green bands
Jayplay says...
It might be impossible for many of us to heed Sheryl Crow's one-square-of-toilet-paper-per-toilet-visit suggestion, but the environmental news and commentary Web site Grist (www.grist.org) has made it easy to track what musicians are doing on behalf of the environment.
The Web site ranked the top 15 green bands and musicians, and grunge rockers Pearl Jam (right) earned the top spot, thanks mostly to the $100,000 donation the band made in 2006 to organizations working on climate change, renewable energy, and other green initiatives. Other ecofriendly artists on Grist's list include The Roots, Jack Johnson Thom Yorke, KT Tunstall and, fittingly, Green Day.

Williams and West collaborated in 2006 on Williams's song "Number One," but Williams did his most recent collaborations with West's mentor, rapper Jay-Z.
Williams produced the tracks "I Know" and "Blue Magic" for Jay-Z's most recent album, American Gangster. Previous efforts between Jay-Z and The Neptunes include the hits "I Just Wanna Love UJ," "Excuse Me Miss!" "Frontin'" and "Young Girl."
Hugo says collaborations with Jay-Z were all about feeling comfortable with the sound.
"When we record, he's in the vocal booth and we mix and match different sounds until we get the right

Switching from doing the production duties of The Neptunes to getting behind the mic for N.E.R.D. is never a problem, Williams says.
"You can have a conversation with friends in the streets but also be religious—there are different sides to a personality created!" Williams says. "N.E.R.D. is who we are. The Neptunes are what we do."
After the Glow In The Dark Tour this summer, the trio will travel to Asia, the United Kingdom and Europe to continue their own tour and promoting Seeing Sounds.
"Expect energy and emotion." Williams says of the album, which doesn't yet have a set release date, but will hit stores sometime this year.

My sister was talking on her cell phone, the one that rang incessantly. I was 15, she was 17, and she was driving us to school with one hand on the wheel, the other clutching her sleek, green metallic phone. One foot was on the gas, and the other was up on the seat so the sun shone on her tan, bent knee. She raised up to look in the rearview mirror and adjusted a few strands of her shiny blond bob.After pursuing her plump, pink lips, she looked over at me.
Apparently I was gawking, because she
gave me a "Why don't you take a picture" look, and I quickly turned away. At that moment, I realized that I was sitting beside the epitome of cool, and that I was absolutely nothing like her.
My mom told me that when she found out she was pregnant with me—just 20 short months after having my older sister, Megan—she immediately started to

prepare Megan for the experience of having a little sister.She wanted Megan to know that my arrival would change her life in a positive way.
"You two are going to be best friends' she had told her.
By Kaitlyn Syring
But for many years, we were anything but.
The small gap in our ages made
room for a vast amount of
competition.We fought constantly.
L
After seeing my sister in the car that day, I knew that I wanted to be more like her. More importantly, I wanted to be less like me.
Megan flitted about the house weekend after weekend while I sat in my room and did
homework. I watched her curl her hair and put on the perfect amount of blue sparkly eye shadow. She made sure that her blue baby-tee fit snugly and showed just the right amount of midriff. Then she'd prance down the stairs, leaving the smell of Lucky Brand perfume in her wake, off to join her crew at some party where there would probably be plenty of adoring boys. Meanwhile, I was set for a riveting night of algebra.
I completely immersed myself in my studies, aching for something I could do better than my sister. I did do better than her in school, but that didn't make me happy. I was the smart one, but Megan was everything else times 10.
One night, when my parents weren't
around to mediate. Megan and I had the blow-up of all blow-ups in the hallway between our upstairs bedrooms. I don't remember how it started. All I remember was the screaming, how loud it was and how long it lasted. I threw out every hurful description of her that I had ever conjured. She did the same. She was a "neurotic, attention-hungry hussy with a
at a taciturn nussy with a low IQ," and I was a "fat pig with no friend"
I walked away to my room, and she followed me, still spitting insults. I sat down on my bed, dejected. She stood in my doorway, her hand on her hip, ready for my next attack.
"lust get out," I said.
That evening, I decided that I was finished fighting. I couldn't compete with her anymore because all that did was make me miserable. I had to focus on Kaitlyn for once, not Megan.
So I did what smart people do. I made a list.I wrote down all of the things I liked about myself.I was a good student,and I had a sense of humor.I didn't consider myself pretty,but I was willing to admit and document in the list that I was "slightly pleasant-looking."
A few months after that, Megan graduated and went off to Kansas State University. I felt like I had more room to come into my own. Outside her shadow, I started to branch out. I joined my school's show choir, made efforts to get to know some of my classmates and actually went to football games, basketball games and dances. Gradually, I came out of my introverted state and found that people wanted to be friends with me.
But something else happened that year:
I was surprised to find that I missed Megan.
I went into her room once and lay on
Next, I tried to be happy for Megan. I tried saying,"Good for her",to myself when Megan did well in her basketball game, landed a solo in choir or had a new boyfriend.At first,it nauseated me. But eventually,I reached a level of indifference,which was an improvement from indignation.
her Hawaiian bedspread, looking up at the glow-in-the-dark stars that we put on her ceiling when we were little. I smiled when I remembered how high we had to jump on her bed to stick them on and how hard we laughed when she fell off. It made me wonder what we would have been like if we hadn't argued so much or spent so much time trying to hurt each other.
Around October of that year, Megan called me. She asked how I was, and said she wanted me to come visit her at school. At first I just sat on the phone in silence. I didn't know how to respond.
"Well, you know," she said. "I just thought if you wanted to see Manhattan and everything, then you could come up, but it's not a big deal. You don't have to come."
I finally found my voice. "Uh,
no, that's cool. I mean, yeah,
wanna come."
I waited anxiously for her to respond."Awesome," she said. "Ask Mom, then. It'll be really fun, Kait."
The phone call was the beginning of the healing process. Somehow, we both knew that we wanted to be closer to each other, and we both wanted to find out how to make that happen. I did go to visit that weekend, and though it was awkward at times, we had a lot of fun. I loved going out with her and her friends, but I was perfectly happy sitting there on her dorm bed, eating Easy Mac and talking about where I wanted to go to college.
That summer, before my senior year of high school, Megan told me on the phone that she had been jealous of me, too. She enveloped independent I was and how dedicated I was to my schoolwork. She said she had always
wished she was as intelligent as me.This news overwhelmed me.I lay there on the wood floor of my bedroom with a blanket balled up under my head and my feet planted against my second dresser drawer.Were both alternating between fits of laughter and bouts of tears.
As we were getting off the phone, Megan fell silent, and I knew she was trying to say something."I love you, Kait" she said softly.
I smiled, and my eyes started to sting again. "I love you, too, Meg," I said.
My mom had been right all along. Megan and I were truly meant to be best friends.
I love you

LIQUOR LAWS

KU Public Safety Office urges students to use precaution while drinking in unfamiliar territory over spring break
FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
fchambers@kansan.com
KU Public Safety Office created a list of ways students who are taking vacations can have a "Safe Spring Break."
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, Public Safety Office, said above all, students should not take risks when visiting a new destination.
"You know what the right decision is, you just have to make it." Bailey said.
KU Public Safety Office's "Safe Spring Break" lists many ways students can protect themselves while vacationing, but focuses specifically on alcohol consumption, including liquor laws in popular spring break destinations.
According to the Public Safety Office's "Safe Spring Break," most police departments hold individuals who live out of state in jail until they appear before a judge or can post a cash bond. In addition, individuals could also be required to return to the jurisdiction where they were charged for court.
Bailey said because of the variation in laws and consequences across states and countries, students should know what the laws are in the city they will be traveling to.
Myles Grossblatt, Buffalo Grove, Ill., senior, who has traveled to Israel, Mexico and Spain,
said he never looked up the liquor laws in other cities because he always had good drinking habits. He said locals told him the information he did know.
"I'm hoping most of it was true," Grossblatt said.
The Public Safety Office said it was important for students to find out what the laws were first hand. Even though other people are drinking on the streets, it may not be legal.
According to "Safe Spring Break," the fine for having an open container in all public areas in Daytona Beach, Fla., is $106. However, the fine for consuming alcohol in public, including on beaches, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is up
to $500.
In South Padre, Texas, glass is not allowed on the beaches and liquor is prohibited in the central business district.
Randall Coburn. Emporia junior, said he would be on a cruise over break and it had never occurred to him that he should check the liquor laws of the cruises destinations.
"I'm going to hope for the best," Coburn said.
Jamie Bodine, Overland Park sophomore, said she would visit California over break. Bodine said she had not looked up California's laws because she assumed they were the same as Kansas'.
Bailey also reminded students to drink responsibly, especially because they are in an unfamiliar location. He said students should watch out for their friends and not wander off alone. Bailey said it was rare for a group of two or more people to be attacked.
Bailey said students shouldn't accept mixed drinks from strangers or leave them on a table unattended. According to "Safe Spring Break" most date rape drugs are colorless and odorless so students should always watch the bartender pour their drinks.

ODD NEWS Police on the hunt for 6-foot-tall glass of beer
EASTPOINTE, Mich. — Police in suburban Detroit are looking for a 6-foot-tall glass of Guinness. Don't worry, it's work-related.
A green, pint-glass-shaped Guinness costume has been reported stolen from an Eastpointe resident's garage. It's valued at $3,000 and had been flown to Michigan from Ireland to be used as advertising. Eastpointe Police Lt. Leo Borowsky says it is believed to be one of only two such costumes in the U.S.
Authorities say a Detroit beer distribution company loaned out the costume for Halloween. The owner of the home where the costume had been stored found out it had been stolen after the company asked for it back.
Borowsky says to be on the lookout. There's no better time to dress up as a green pint of Guinness than on St. Patrick's Day.

LAW ENFORCEMENT Grant awarded to enforce underage drinking laws
The Lawrence Police Department was recently awarded a $10,000 grant that will allow it to increase its enforcement of underage drinking laws from now until May 2008.
Sergeant Dan Ward, who is in charge of the enforcement effort, said about $1,500 of the grant would be used to purchase portable breathalyzers and the remainder would be used to pay for the extra hours police officers would have to work.
Ward said three to six police officers whose only job would be to enforce underage drinking laws would work on random weekend nights. He said they would respond to noise and party complaints, visit bars, and enforce public consumption laws, especially in areas that are known for parties.
Ward said the grant was important because previously, the city did not have enough money to staff extra officers.
He was unsure how many deaths or crimes in Lawrence each year were alcohol related, however he said at least seven medical emergencies and many other crimes that involved minors and alcohol consumption, including criminal damage occurred in 2006.

Fan superstitions boost spirit
BY LUKE MORRIS
Imorris@kansan.com
The Kansas men's basketball team has speed and skills to its advantage in most matchups. The fans stack another advantage to their side — superstition.
Many KU fans follow superstitions to give their favorite team an extra bit of luck. These superstitions range from simply wearing a Jayhawks shirt on game day to rituals following each basket.
Greg Weseloh, Liberty, Mo., sophomore, wears a sweatshirt that his dad bought him during the 1988 Final Four. He wears it for big games when he thinks the basketball team needs a boost of luck.
"I know for me it's a heavy sweat-shirt so it gets the blood flowing and gets me all sweaty," Weseloh said. "Then I get more pumped and I feel like that energy might transfer over to the players."
A lucky sweatshirt isn't enough supersition for Chris Kellher, Overland Park senior, who has multiple game day shirts. He said that he wore one shirt for home games
and another for away games. He also wears "lucky pajamas" to bed the night before a big game and pounds fists with everyone around him when Kansas hits a three-point basket.
"I don't know if they really work," Kellher said. "I got do what I can to try and help us win."
Both Weseloh and Kelliher said they saved their superstitions for bigger games, like rivalry games and matchups against better teams.
"I don't want to overuse it," Weseloh said. "I don't want to take away its magic if it's not necessary."
Dan Wann, professor of psychology at Murray State University and Kansas alumnus, said that superstitions helped fans deal with the fact that they have no effect on the game.
"People want to have control over their environment, and superstitions give them a belief they have a part in the outcome for the team." Wann said.
He said that while some fans hold superstitions for fun, his studies of sports fans showed that fans thought performing their superstitions had some sort of impact on the game.
Wann said Weseloh and Kelliher's superstitions were among the most common types. Lucky seats, food and clothing were the top superstitions his study found.
Some of the more wild superstitions his study found included a Notre Dame football fan who read three passages of the Bible and drank three beers before each quarter of a Fighting Irish game. In another case, a woman made love to her husband while wearing her favorite university's football jersey and matching socks the night before each game.
Kansas fans will test their superstitions this month as the Jayhawks fight their way through the Big 12 Championship and NCAA tournament.
Senior guard Russell Robinson encouraged Jayhawk fans to keep using their superstitions to help the team through the postseason.
"We need you to wear your lucky socks, wear your lucky shirt; whatever you do to win the games, we need you to do that the rest of this season," Robinson said.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES
Democrats propose vote-by-mail
Associated Press
BY BREND AN FARRINGTON
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Democrats on Thursday proposed a vote-by-mail presidential primary to solve the high-stakes delegate dispute while acknowledging the plan's chances are slim.
Karen Thurman, chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, offered a mail-in/in person proposal for voting and urged state leaders, the national party and the presidential candidates to sign on.

The pressure to resolve the issue has increased amid the protracted fight for every delegate between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
be set up. The election would end June 3, a week before a Democratic National Committee deadline to name delegates.
The estimated cost is $10 million to $12 million.
Asked if the plan will be implemented, Thurman said, "I have a feeling that this is probably closer to not, than yes."
Members of Florida's congressional delegation reiterated their opposition to the plan.
"We do not believe that this is a realistic option at this time and remain opposed to a mail-in ballot election or any new primary election in Florida of any kind."
Thurman will review comments from Democratic leaders and make a decision by Monday on whether to proceed with the re-vote. But she acknowledged that Obama has concerns and the Democratic National Committee won't support a proposal unless both candidates back it. She said there was a serious question over whether the state could legally verify the signatures of a privately run election.
"If this becomes something that
The Democratic Party is talking with the secretary of state's office about whether elections officials would be able to verify ballot signatures, but Republicans, who control the legislature, have opposed any state involvement and legal questions are raised.
"The state of Florida should not be involved in certifying or mediating intraparty squabbles," said House Speaker Marco Rubio.
Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, said he wasn't opposed to the state helping verify signatures as long as no taxpayer money was spent and state and national parties hadn't already worked out another solution.

we can't do, then we can't do it." Thurman said.
The Justice Department has to pre-approve any plan for a re-vote in Michigan or Florida to ensure that voting rights aren't being denied because of race or an inability to speak English. The department has 60 days to make a determination, but Justice spokesman Peter Carr said they provide expedited review whenever possible.
Students tune in to tournament in Union
BIG 12 MEN'S BASKETBALL

Student Union Activities provided students and faculty with an opportunity to watch Big 12 Championship games between classes Thursday. They will also play host to a tournament watch party today.
Students and a few faculty members sat in front of a projector screen placed on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union Thursday and watched games from the first round of the tournament. SUA provided refreshments for those watching the games. During breaks in the games, SUA members asked spectators trivia questions about Kansas basketball and gave prizes to whoever answered correctly.
"It's pretty enjoyable and the food's good," Brandon Goodrich, Dallas senior, said. "The trivia questions were nice."
ing.
Emily Riley, Overland Park junior and member of the SUA special events committee, said that she was surprised that so many students showed up despite the fact that they Jayhawks weren't play-
Goodrich, like most other students in the union, didn't know that the watch party was happening until he entered the union.
"We hoped it would be during one of KU's games so we could all watch and be a good atmosphere," Riley said. "But since it's the Big 12 Championship people want to see the games anyway."
The attendance also surprised Riley because the tournament was scheduled around the time of many University midterms and close to spring break.
tried to study for her midterm while watching Texas Tech play Oklahoma State.
"I'm not really focusing on studying for my midterm too much," Whealdon said. "I spent a lot of time studying last night, though, so I should be OK."
Some students in the Union
While many people who came through the union stopped to watch the game for a while, a few others grabbed some food and drinks from the event and moved on to other things.
Lauren Lakebrink, SUA special events coordinator and Liberty, Mo., junior, said that SUA played host to a watch party on campus for at least the last three years. She said that overall for the two days she expected about 300 people to come through and enjoy the games, close to the number of people who visited last year.

POLITICS
WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday rejected the idea of renewing many of President Bush's tax cuts as all three major presidential candidates interrupted their campaigns to cast their votes. The House approved a budget blueprint that would raise taxes by $683 billion during the next five years.
The Senate embraced Bush reductions aimed at low-income workers, married couples and people with children.
The Senate voted 99-1 to extend the cuts for some workers as well as couples and parents. Senators voted 52-47 to reject a move to extend tax cuts for middle- and higher-income taxpayers, investors and people inheriting businesses and big estates.
The votes were mostly symbolic, but they put senators in both parties on the record for when the tax cuts actually expire in three years.
Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain.
Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting, voted for the full roster of Bush tax cuts. Rivals Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama, (D-III.) both voted against them.

Celebrities make MLB debut
Billy Crystal participates in Yankees' spring training game
BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Billy Crystal better stick to his night job.
The comedian, actor and Oscar presenter struck out in his new career as a baseball player Thursday — and promptly struck out as the New York Yankees' new leadoff man.
Wearing No. 60 a day before his 60th birthday, and cheered on by fellow funnyman Robin Williams, Crystal gave himself a chance in the first inning in his only at-bat.
NY
Swinging late against Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm, Crystal bounced a chopper past first baseman Adam LaRoche that landed several feet foul. Crystal got ahead in the count 3-1, but then swung over a pair of 88 mph fastballs.
The crowd gave Crystal a standing ovation, and he raised his hand to salute the fans. Teammate-for-a-day Alex Rodriguez signaled Maholm, who tossed the ball toward the Yankees dugout for a souvenir.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Crystal's debut — and finale — followed the likes of Garth Brooks and Tom Selleck, other celebrities who played in spring training games.
Before the game, Crystal worked out on the main diamond at Legends Fields.
Actor and comedian Billy Crystal strikes out in his only at-bat as designated hitter during the New York Yankees spring training baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Legends Field in Tampa, Fla., Thursday.
"I'm really relaxed, I really am," Crystal said after taking pregame infield practice. "That's until I see
the 6-foot-2, 230-pound guy who's going to throw who's never been to a Seder."
His only sign of nervousness: He chomped nonstop on bubblegum.

Delta Force drops Senate ambitions instead focuses solely on two issues
Instead of focusing on advertising candidates for this Student Senate election season, Delta Force has chosen to spend its time focusing on two issues: sustainability and sexual health. This could not only give Delta Force the chance to grow
as a coalition, but it could also set a new standard in campaigning.
Co-presidents John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and
Bridey Maidhof, Overland Park senior, said the coalition chose not to run candidates through group decision-making.
OUR VOICE
"Those were the issues that people in the group were most passionate about," Cross said.
The co-presidents said the time and money spent on campaigning for elections could be better spent focusing on those two issues.
At first glance, it seems counterintuitive to abandon Student Senate representation in favor of an informational campaign. However, Cross provided an excellent rationale for Delta Force's decision.
"You're selling the issues, not selling yourself," he said.
When a coalition is primarily occupied with gaining and retaining Senate seats, its focus becomes selling its brand. If Delta Force doesn't have the pressure of putting up candidates, it can safely focus on its issues of choice without worrying that its basic ideals are compromised.
Taking competitiveness out of the equation ensures that these issues campaigns are about just that — the issues.
The primary goal of the sustainability campaign is to encourage Chancellor Robert Hemenway to sign the President's Climate Commitment, a pact that would reduce or offset the University's greenhouse gas emissions. Maidhof said that 498 other universities had already signed the Commitment.
"It's almost an embarrassment to see how far behind KU is," Maidhof said.
A biodiesel lab and more energy efficient buildings are also on the
coalition's sustainability agenda. Cross and Maidhof acknowledged that their green campaign was a long-term project, and they hoped students would be able to appreciate sustainability on a campus scale.
It is wise to put emphasis on campus sustainability in particular, given that green issues can be vague and left unaddressed. If the University takes
on more local projects, there's a better chance that more people will understand sustainability as a relevant issue.
The second issue of sexual health is equally important. Maidhof and Cross said STI testing, rising birth control costs, Watkins Health Center policies and research were possible topics to explore.
The main concern about Delta Force's plan is whether it will show any tangible results.
There is no precedent of a coalition undertaking anything like this, so the plan's feasibility is hard to gauge.
The impetus for implementing strong sustainability and sexual health awareness policies rests ultimately not with Delta Force, but instead with the students it seeks to inform. A group can only hand out so many fliers and have so many meetings.
At some point, students must decide where they stand on these issues, and on any others that a coalition proposes.
When the cynicism of electoral pressure is removed, the issues can speak for themselves, and students can make decisions unhindered by brand names.
Delta Force's approach to issues campaigning is a fresh and engaging way to approach students, and it may set a positive precedent in the future.
"I hope that it inspires a new spirit of civic engagement among the student body," Cross said.

COMMENTARY
Negative comments on story perpetuate false stereotype
ANNIE SIMMERMON
Max Rinkel
A few weeks ago, I wrote a column about lyrics that degrade women. I wrote about how rap and hip-hop genres had become increasingly bad culprits in producing these lyrics.
In response I got two very intriguing, but not surprising, remarks from readers.
One said I was a racist, and the other said I was just another rich, white girl form Johnson County who didn't like rap music.
Those are two pretty good stereotypes Id say.
Bravo, whoever you are. However, you're wrong, and my column makes me more of a feminist than a racist.
I know how easy it is to get those -isms mixed up (hope you're catching my sarcasm here cause I am laying it on pretty thick).
Calling people who scrutinize rap music "racist" is absolutely ridiculous.
As it says at the end of my column I am from Leawood, and that is in Johnson County.
Clearly, this person got an "A" in geography, congrats!
But it doesn't say that I lived the first half of my life being raised by a single mother in a duplex in Kansas City, Mo. Guess that would have been a little long-winded to add onto the end.
Thanks to a wonderful stepdad who took on two kids and dog when he married my mother and also put everything he had earned in his 36 years of life into buying us a house in Leawood so we could go to good public schools, I am able to say that my parents are Leawood residents.
Even though a number of Johnson County residents are extremely privileged and, at times, haughty, not all of us are like that.
I've known people who tell me they feel ashamed even getting into a car with a "JO" tag on the license plate, and I am a person that ate hot dogs and macaroni every night growing up. That amazes me.
I remember payday growing up. I remember what it meant and the sense of relief in the house when that day came.
I don't drive a hummer. I drive a decade-old Saab that I bought from Autotrader.
I paid for it with my own money, thanks to a lot of putting clothes on hangers and waiting tables. Glamorous, I know.
Lastly, I do like hip-hop music. In fact, I love hip-hop music.
Erykah Badu is my idol, and I can't count the amount of times I've seen J5 and Blackilicious in concert. Gift-of-gab is one of the most talented rappers of our time, and he raps without degrading or objectifying women.
Stereotyping. In American culture, it's inevitable. Passing judgement about someone without knowing them is second nature for most.
But what if you're wrong?
It's nearly impossible to know a book by it's cover, so making those assumptions makes one appear petty and ignorant.
Before you pretend to know everything about someone, their preferences, their struggles, their beliefs and principles, why don't you take care of your own prejudices first?
Fighting stereotypes with ignorance isn't going to get anybody anywhere. It just fuels the fire of intolerance.
Simmermon is a Leawood senior in journalism.
COMMENTARY
A Spring Break road trip will drive away school worries
JORDAN RYAN
The cure for a bad test is a handful of f-bombs and a few beers, and the cure for the springtime sappiness that appears in braided fingers around campus is a good old-fashioned road trip.
Getting in the car and driving has saved me many times from becoming overwhelmed by that terrible

Lately I've heard more of the typical pre-spring break sentiments of stress, weariness and the "I'm working too hard for the little fun I'm having" smugness that comes around in early March.

Players in "Call of Duty 4" play as soldiers in a modern war. The game is currently the No.1 title sold for Xbox Live.
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
Gavin Custard said as soon as he got home from class, he grabbed a virtual .50 Caliber Barret sniper rifle with the hopes of going on an online killing spree. His goal is to kill seven online players in a row without dying so he can call in a helicopter that will rack up his kill score even further.
Custard, Wichita junior, is among the many students from the University of Kansas and the rest of the world that can't get enough of "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," which was nominated as the 2008 Game of the Year by many video game review boards including Game Daily.
"It's by far the most realistic first-person shooter game I've ever
played," said Custard, who bought the game the day it came out.
In "story mode," gamers switch back and forth from fighting in the Middle East as U.S. Marines to fighting in the old Soviet Union as British Special Air service units.
"Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" is the first of the Call of Duty series to move from the World War II era to the 21st century, where combat takes place on modern battlefields in Europe and the Middle East.

However, most of the game's prestige comes from its online multiplayer game play, which, according to an Activision press release, currently makes it the No. 1 title sold for Xbox Live.

Zach Flurry, Andover senior, said he played the game on multi-player for 10 hours every day over winter break when he first got the game.
As gamers play the multi-player version of the game, they can choose everything from the gun they want to shoot to the type of grenade - explosive, stun, flash and smoke - they want to throw.
"I've played 'Halo' for a long time, and what I like about this game is that it's more about strategizing and teamwork instead of just run-and-gun like on 'Halo,'" Johnson said.
During online multi-player gameplay, gamers are awarded a radar indicator, air strikes and a helicopter for kill streaks - killing a number of bad guys in a row without dying.
Players earn points for making kills and completing challenges. As their points go up, they are promoted to higher military ranks, which allows them to unlock new weapons, challenges and perks.
Cameron Johnson, Independence sophomore, said he thought "Call of Duty 4" was the best game since the "Halo" series.

just seeing yourself get better and better is the best part of the game," Flurry said. "That's what makes it so addicting."
Flurry and two of his friends from the University even created their
own online gamer clan called "The Cron Clan."
Paul Houston, former KU student, said after his friend got the game during winter break, he lived on his friend's couch for two days straight.
"We would stay up and play until five in the morning, go to bed, wake up at noon and play it until five in the morning over and over again for days," Houston said. "We seriously didn't have a life for awhile."
Houston said he and his friends would sometimes stay up so late, they would hear British gamers online through their headsets who were just waking up in England.
Flurry said he has seen the flip side of this when he woken up to find himself playing with British gamers who haven't gone to bed yet.
"They just got back from the bar from drinking or God knows what and I just woke up so I'm laughing my ass off," he said.

Kansas succeeds without go-to guy
BY BRYAN WHEELER
As Kansas heads into the thick of March Madness, both the media and fans may question who the Jayhawks "go-to guy" is. It is often assumed that a team must have a clear-cut person who is the No. 1 player on the team. If a team does not have this clear-cut, go-to guy, there will be a problem.
When the Associated Press voted for who would comprise the Big 12 alleague first team, 17 of the 19 voters chose Kansas players, but none of those played made the team. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur and junior guards Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers all

made the second team.
Sophomore guard Sherron Collins is reasserting himself in the Kansas lineup after injuries earlier this year. Collins scored 13 points and had seven assists against Texas A&M.
Upon hearing the news, Kansas' leading scorer Arthur didn't worry too much about none of Kansas' player's making the first team.
"I think it says that we are balanced. We have eight stars," said Arthur in Kansas' press conference Monday. "Anybody can show up on any
When the Big 12 coaches voted for their all-league first team, they voted differently. They chose Rush and Arthur for the first team, Chalmers for the second team and senior forward Darnell Jackson for the third team.

day. It's not a big deal at all."
Given these postseason accolades, it makes it very unclear as to who Kansas' go-to guy really is. When you look at statistics, it's even less clear who this mysterious go-to guy should be. After all, seven players have led the team as the high scorer in games. Jackson, who was Kansas' high scorer in eight games this season, is Kansas' fourth-leading scorer, averaging 11.8 points per game.
Going into the Big 12 Championship and the NCAA tournament, who is Kansas' go-to guy? Rush? Arthur? Collins? Chalmers? Jackson? Senior guard Russell Robinson?
As of late, some could even question whether sophomore guard Sherron Collins is Kansas' go-to guy. Over the past three games, Collins is averaging 14.7 points, 4.7 assists and 2.3 steals, and he was chosen as the co-Big 12 Player of the Week. Rush and Jackson have also been selected as conference players of the week this season.
The answer is no one. Kansas does not need one of these players to be the beacon of light that rescues the team in postseason. Not even reigning two-time national champion Florida had one of these dominant players last season. Like Kansas, Florida had seven different players as the high scorer in games last season. Throughout the NCAA tournament, the Gators had four different players finish as the high scorer.
Still think Kansas needs a go-to guy? There's a man by the name of Frank Martin in Manhattan, Kan., who can tell you all about the go-to guy. Martin practically wrote the book on the go-to guy this season with his star player, freshman forward Michael Beasley.
Kansas may not have a player on its roster who appears to be a cut above the rest, but what can you expect from a teamwith four McDonald's High School All-Americans and seven Rivals.com five-star prospects? Kansas has plenty of star power and doesn't need one particular player to carry the Jayhawks' weight throughout the postseason.

Bringing toughness back
Collins makes strong resurgence after injuries
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
Amid all the "Lazy Sunday" remakes, "Seinfeld" outtakes and other YouTube wonders, a video features a high school player throwing a basketball off a backboard, leaping into the air, dreads flowing, and then dunking with his left hand, yes, his left.
Interested in watching it? Just type in Sherron Collins.
Back then, he was high school Sherron, a chiseled hunk of athleticism who could do whatever he wanted on a basketball court. Recently, the player from that video started to return. Collins is averaging 14.7 points a game in the last three games, and is one of the major reasons the Jayhawks are playing their best ball of the season as they prepare to play Nebraska in the Big 12 Tournament tonight at 6.
With Collins playing so well, Kansas coach Bill Self admitted the sophomore guard was close to being the player he thought held be at the beginning of the year. The key word there is "close." Collins still isn't the speedy kid with flowing dreadlocks who Anthony Longstreet, Collin's high school coach, remembers from Crane Tech High School.
"Kansas." Longstreet said, "still hasn't seen how fast he is."
One could say Collins was quick in high school. He made varsity as a freshman, once scored 45 points against Young High School and developed the best first step in the city. Collins dribbled, drove and at 5-foot-11, dunked with ease.
"He was the best I've ever coached." Longstreet said.
Injuries ruined the early part of this year for Collins. It started with a stress fracture during the second game of the season. He wore a pink cast for a couple of weeks and didn't return until mid-December. Then he had a sprained ankle, a screw placed in his foot, knee problems and a chipped bone in his ankle.
Sometimes between that YouTube dunk in the McDonald's All-American game in March 2006 and his first game at Kansas that fall, Collins changed, and jayhawk fans still haven't gotten to see high school Sherron.
His weight ballooned from 185 pounds in high school to about 225 the summer before his freshman year in college. Collins shed enough of the excess baggage to average 11.3 points a game in league play and star in a few midseason conference games. But by the end of year, his play tailed off largely because his weight went back up.
"I chipped a little piece off," Collins said.
"It went away in about two weeks."
, "My mind would tell me I could do it", Collins said, "and my body would be like 'nah.'"
He played arguably the worst game of the season against Oklahoma State three weeks ago, attempting just one field goal in 11 minutes. His knee bothered him that game. Self called him a shell of what he used to be.
for the Jayhawks to make a deep NCAA Tournament run.
Afterwards, Collins really started to get frustrated. Hed stayed positive all season, barking orders at teammates when he had to sit and laughing when roommate, sophomore guard Brady Morningstar, or coaches made fun of his cast. But this one hurt.
With the NCAA tournament approaching, Longstreet hopes Collins can continue to progress with his health and fitness level. His energy off the bench will be crucial
Fortunately for Collins, a few days later something clicked. He can't remember exactly when or how it happened, but his body just started feeling good. His numbers went up, culminating in a 13-point, seven-assist performance against Texas & A.M., and with them so did the team's play. Kansas has blown out its last four opponents after losing two of three before the streak.
Collins said he was about 90 percent back from the injuries. He is still not where he wants to be, still not able to dunk in games and still not at the level Longstreet saw two years ago in Chicago. But Longstreet said Collins was getting closer. He watched the entire Kansas State game and liked what he saw.
"That's what we've been missing the entire year," Self said about Collins, "someone that explosive who can change the game."
Collins knows how to perform as a sixth man in big games since high school, from when he came off the bench as a freshman on a team that had five seniors. During the championship game of a Christmas tournament that season, he stole the ball and got trapped by two opponents. Collins broke through then ran into another defender.
"He did an Earl the Pearl spin move and got by him," Longstreet said.
Immediately after, Collins spun the other direction to evade another defender before
finally making a layup on the other end. His play helped rally his team from a 10-point deficit.
That was high school Sherron. It could be what Kansas fans see this March, but the stakes will be higher, and Collins' heroics could be even more impressive.
"When he gets to 100 percent," Longstreet said, "he'll be even quicker than he was in high school."

Jayhawks to play 11 spring break games
EASTON
BY SHAWN SHROYER shrover@kansan.com
The last time Kansas won eight straight games, it was a game into the 2006 NCAA West Regional. The Jayhawks up lossing the next two games, ending their season.
This time around, how Kansas builds on its current eight-game winning streak will go a long way toward determining the Jayhawks' postseason hopes for 2008.
To have any chance of making the NCAA tournament, Kansas has to hold its own with the top teams in the Big 12, and the Jayhawks (10-5) open conference play on the road this weekend against the best: the No. 19 Texas Longhorns (10-4).
The Jayhawks will play 11 games during spring break, starting with a series against the No. 19 Texas Longhorns. Kansas has garnered an eight-game winning streak in March
"It kicks off the Big 12 in a pretty sweet environment," senior shortstop Erik Morrison said. "That's going to be key to us to see how we can open up the Big 12 with a powerhouse."
Morrison and fellow seniors out fielders John Allman and Ryne Price have been tearing-up opposing pitchers as of late. During Kansas' winning streak, the trio went a combined 34-for-80, a 420 batting average, with six home runs, 29 runs and 42 RBIs.
Weston White/K/NSAN FILE PHOTO
Although the layhawks appear to be rolling full steam ahead, coach Ritch Price said there was still plenty of room for improvement.
"I still don't think we're game-ready to play yet," Price said. "We're not as sharp defensively as we need to be yet, and we're still not doing as good of a job with the off-speed pitches. I think that we will after we play a few more series."
Texas pitchers put Kansas bats to the test this weekend with left-hander Austin Wood (2-1) and right-handers Kenn Kasparek (1-1) and Cole Green (1-1). Kasparek and Green have 5.11 and 7.11 respective ERAs, and have been hitable this season, but Wood won't be as accommodating.
Wood figures to be the best pitcher Kansas has faced since Vanderbilt left-hander Mike Minor, who struck out nine layhaws in 6.2
innings. Wood has a 2.75 ERA and 15 strike-outs to five walks while holding opposing hitters to a .203 average.
While Texas is sticking with the same weekend rotation it's used all season, Kansas will introduce a new weekend rotation against the Longhorns.
Sophomore left-hander Wally Marciel (2-1) makes his return to the weekend rotation tonight at 6:05 after earning a weekend spot near the end of last season. Marciel leads all Kansas starters with a 2.55 ERA.
Junior left-handers Nick Czyz (1-2) and Sam Freeman (2-0) will pitch Saturday and Sunday. With 6.32 and 6.75 respective ERAs.
Czyz and Freeman have to be on top of their game against a Texas lineup that features three .400 hitters and seven batters hitting above .275.
Kansas opens the Classic against Illinois on Wednesday, then plays Dartmouth and Central Connecticut State on Thursday, Ohio State and UMBC on March 21, and will play three games with Northwestern on March 22 and 23.
But Kansas' series with Texas is just the start of a busy spring break for the Jayhawks. From March 19 to March 23 Kansas will play eight teams in the Florida Spring Classic in Bradenton, Fla.
Eight games in five days will stretch the pitching staff to its limits, so Price will need some of his less experienced pitchers to start during the week while keeping Marceli, Czyz and Freeman in the weekend rotation.
One pitcher who probably won't be taking the mound during the next week is junior left-hander Andy Marks. Marks is still rehabilitating after having surgery in the fall to repair a tear in his labrum. Price said Marks would travel with the team to Florida, but his season debut would likely have to wait until after spring break.

After more than a four month hiatus, Kansas' rowing team will be back in action March 22 in a regatta against the University of Tulsa. It will be the Jayhawks' first regatta since their 16-9 loss at Kansas State on Nov. 9, 2007. Coach Rob Catloth is pleased with his young team's improvement from the fall, when the majority of the team was in its first or second year of rowing, and he thinks the team can contend, rather than just learn.
The non-traditional fall involved long-distance races, and the coach is interested to see how his team fares in the NCAA-qualifying spring, in which the races are head-to-head sprints.
The regatta at Tulsa will reveal more about Kansas' young rowing team. Instead of the usual tournament between Kansas, Drake and Tulsa, it will just be Kansas and Tulsa competing in a scrimmage. The rows will remain in Lawrence during spring break to train and prepare for the upcoming schedule, which also includes Texas, Kansas State and Minnesota. The dual with Kansas State on April 12 is the Jayhawks' only home regatta this season.
"We are a young team," Catloth said. "Our goal is to improve and get used to racing at a varsity level. More than half the team only completed at a novice level."
The team is split up into a varsity team and a novice team. Varsity, a group of 25 rows led by four seniors, has the most experience, while the novice team is made up of all freshman and sophomores. Because few high school programs offer rowing, most rows had never rowed before college. Catloth thinks that through early senior leadership, the underclassmen can become better rowers, help bridge the class gap and foster more team unity.

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT CU wins first round 91-84, advances to plav OU today
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Richard Roby scored eight of his 32 points in the second overtime and Colorado put a dent in Baylor's NCAA tournament hopes with a surprising 91-84 win Thursday in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament.
Colorado (12-19) jumped out to a big early lead, withstood a furious second-half Baylor rally, then made just enough shots in both overtimes to become the first No. 12 seed to beat a No. 5 seed in the 12-year history of the Big 12 Tournament
Marcus Hall had 25 points despite missing potential game winners at the end of regulation and the first overtime. Roby also had 12 rebounds for Colorado, which will face fourth-seeded Oklahoma in the second round today at 1 p.m.

SOFTBALL
Jayhawks keep busy throughout spring break
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com
Spring break may be coming up for The University of Kansas' student body, but the softball team will stay busy playing a total of nine games over the break.
The Jayhawks host Buffalo and Louisiana Tech in the Kansas Invitational this weekend. They also play a doubleheader against Bradley Tuesday and start off the conference season on the road against Oklahoma the following weekend.
The Jayhawks are without starting junior catcher Elle Pottorf this weekend. She was injured in the second game of last weekend's tournament.
The team finished with three victories and one loss in that tournament. Coach Tracy Bunge said the one thing the Jayhawks could have done better over those games was short-game execution.
"That obviously was something that came back to bite us pretty hard on Monday," Bunge said.
Bunge said the team was focusing
on being aggressive at the plate and taking advantage of opposing pitchers' mistakes. While Bunge was not completely happy with the offense, she was glad to see some players come out of slight slumps. Bunge said she was pleased with the performances of senior first baseman Addy Lucero, sophomore right fielder Ally Stanton and junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto. Bunge said they seemed to be starting to get hot with the bat on offense.
Junior pitcher Valerie George was also a big factor over the weekend, pitching a 10-inning complete game against Pittsburgh.
"Val was definitely running out of gas in that game and did a great job of digging down deep to finish that Pitt game and throw 10 innings," Bunge said.
George said that this Jayhawk pitching staff was very much a collaborative act. She said one pitcher may throw three innings and then another would come in and throw four innings.
"I think that as a pitching staff, as
a whole, we've just worked really well together. It's just really exciting to see that we're doing better than a lot of people expected us to," George said.
George said that having games over spring break would make it easier for the team to focus on softball. George said that focus would be needed, too, as the Jayhawks play one of the best teams in the Big 12 Conference in Oklahoma.
"It's going to be a busy week. The good news is they don't have any school next week," Bunge said.
George said the team continued to grow as a team throughout the season.
"People have done a great job of just stepping up in different roles." George said.
Bunge said the Jayhawks needed to work as a team to execute in the short-game aspect and sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelka needed to continue to get back up to full strength for the team to have success in the games over spring break.

Team places 10th in Cajun Classic
BY BRYAN WHEELER
bwheeler@kansan.com
The men's golf team competed in its third spring tournament this week and finished in 10th place at the Oakbourne Country Club (par 72, 7,141 yards) in Lafayette, La., with a team score of 862, 28 strokes behind tournament champion Colorado. This marked Kansas' 12th consecutive appearance in the Cajun Classic.
improve."
After the first round on Monday, Kansas led the tournament with a team total of 289. Junior Walt Koelbel tied his career-best round with a score of 69.
"Getting to practice over the past week helped us have an awesome first round." Koelbel said. "With better weather this season, we hope to
Freshman Brad Hopfinger and junior Zach Pederson finished the first round on par.
"We had our best first round of the season," coach Kit Grove said. "It's a step in the right direction."
Though the Jayhawks led after round one, the team failed to match its success and finished the second round with a score of 306, which left them tied for eighth place on Monday. Halfway through the second round, downpours delayed the tournament for about an hour.
Hopfinger finished the second round tied for 12th place with a total score of 146. Koelbel followed up his under-par first round with a score of 78, which left him tied for 19th place.
the jahawks were 12 strokes behind first-place Colorado.
In his second appearance for Kansas, junior transfer Brandon Hermreck shot 71, his best round as a Jayhawk. Freshman Nate Barbee had his best performance of the tournament on Tuesday with a 73. Hermreck finished tied for 53rd place with a score of 227 and Barbee finished tied for 45th place with a score of 226.
Starting the final round Tuesday,
Koelbel finished the tournament tied for 28th place with a score of 223. Hopfinger finished the tournament with a score of 221 and tied for 17th place.
"I had a couple triple bogeys but other than that, I felt I played solid," Hopfinger said.

Eight athletes compete at nationals
》 TRACK & FIELD
BY DANNY NORDSTROM
dnordstrom@kansan.com
Junior sprinter Nickesha Anderson has two things to be happy about this weekend. Not only will she compete in the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, but she is turning 23 on Saturday.
"My expectation is to give myself a present this weekend because it's my birthday," Anderson said.
The Hanover Parish, Jamaica native will compete in her first NCAA championships this weekend in Fayetteville, Ark. Anderson will run both the 60- and 200-meter dash for the Jayhawks. Earlier this week she was named Midwest Region Women's Indoor Track Athlete of the Year.
Joining Anderson will be five other women and two men from the sixth ranked women's team and 22nd ranked men's team.
"The athletes that did make the NCAA championships are very competitive," head coach Stanley Redwine said. "They are what we want Kansas to be. On the women's side we have more than we've ever had at the indoor championships."
Sophomore pole-vaulter Jordan Scott and senior weight-thrower Egor Agafonov represent the men, while seniors Crystal Manning and Kate Sultanova and junior Stephanie Horton, Sha'Ray Butler Nickesha Anderson, and Charity Stowers represent the women.
"I'm nervous, but also really excited," Scott said. "Practice has been going really well and I'm excited to see how high I can jump."
Scott is excited about competing in his first indoor national championships.
This season, Scott took home his second Big 12 Title in the pole vault and is ranked third in the nation. This weekend, he plans on using a thicker and stronger pole to set a personal record.
On the women's side of the pole vault, Sultanova will compete in her second national indoor meet. Last season, she placed third in the event at nationals. This season, Sultanova took home her second Big 12 Title and is looking for another victory.
Manning will compete in the 1.600-meter relay and women's triple jump. She has been to outdoor
nationals twice, but never indoors.
"My expectation is just to compete really aggressive," she said. Manning is ranked sixth in the triple jump and has the school record for the event at 13.54 meters.
In addition to Manning, the women's 1,600 relay will consist of Stowers, Butler and Anderson. The four women recently broke the school record at the Iowa State Invitational on March 8. They shattered their old record, set earlier in the season, by almost 4 seconds.
Agafonov will defend his national title. He is the No.1 weight thrower in the nation.
Horton's second place finish at the Big 12 Championships gave her a women's weight throw school record at 16.80 meters. She is ranked ninth in the event.
The NCAA National Indoor Track & Field Championships begin tomorrow at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Ark.

TIPOFF
KANSAS ENTERSTOURNEYPLAY
JAYHAWKS FACE OFF AGAINST'HUSKERS FOR THIRD TIME
AT A GLANCE
KANSAS VS. NEBRASKA 6:00 p.m., Sprint Center, Kansas City, Mo., ESPN+
Kansas returns to the Sprint Center today, the site of its 88-51 non-conference victory against Ohio on Dec. 15. The Jayhawks were undefeated the last time they graced the floor at the Sprint Center, and after a rocky February, the Jayhawks are riding a four-game winning streak. With a de facto home-court advantage in Kansas City, the Jayhawks should have a great shot toward winning their third straight Big 12 title.
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
Brandon Rush is back in his hometown. Kansas' junior guard grew up a mere minutes from the front door of the Sprint Center, and his last name is synonymous with Kansas City high school hoops. Rush scored 13 points in Kansas' victory against
Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 senior guard,
Ohio, and always seems to play better when the lights are brighter. This is Rush's tournament. If Kansas cuts down the nets on Sunday, don't be surprised if Rush is toting around the tournament MVP trophy.
WHO TO WATCH
How important are conference tournaments?
QUESTION MARK
In the scheme of things, conference tournaments mean, well, nothing. The winner gets a shiny trophy and a few bragging rights, but that's about it. The last two times Kansas advanced to the Final Four - 2002 and 2003 – the Jayhawks did not win the conference tournament. And what did titles in the last two conference tournaments give Kansas? A first-round loss in 2005 and a loss in the Elite Eight last season. The point? If Kansas goes down early this weekend, it's not the end of the world. The real tournament starts next week.
Rush
HEARYE, HEARYE
"I would say yes. We have a chance, but some things probably need to happen to make it a reality. One being we'd have to win the tournament and two, we'd probably need somebody else to not perform as well this week. Even if we're not that (a No. 1 seed), and I'm not putting any emphasis on it, we just want to gather as much momentum as we can going into next week."

BROWN JOHNSON
Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 sophomore forward,
How many points do you think Jackson will let Aleks Maric score this time? One? Kansas' junior forward has been great defending Nebraska's star center.
Cookie Miller, 5-foot-7 freshman guard Miller is a jitterbug point guard who can penetrate into the lane and create havoc for defenses.

Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard,

Can Collins stay injury free this March? His knee tendonitis last march might have been the biggest reason for Kansas' Elite Eight loss to UCLA.
CARLOS J. MALCINO
Paul Velander, 6-foot-2 junior guard
The Jayhawks do what they always do against Nebraska. Both times this season, Kansas has destroyed the Huskers, blowing them out in Lincoln and at Allen Fieldhouse. In the second game, Nebraska's best player, Aleks Maric, didn't even score. The Huskers just never have any luck against Kansas.
Velander is Nebraska's outside gunner. He wants to spot up and shoot, but he can't create his own shot off the dribble.

★★★☆★★
Rustin Dodd
Phog Allen Will Roll Over In Over In His Grave If...
Nebraska continues its late-season push. Doc Sadler, who many believe to be the best in-game coach in the Big 12, has turned this team around after starting out conference play with three straight losses. Colorado's already upset Baylor, and it's possible that another Big 12 Tournament upset could happen.
NU TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
With Nebraska's 61-56 victory against Missouri on Thursday, Kansas faces Nebraska in the Jayhawks' first-round game. It's too bad. Kansas vs. Missouri at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., would have been infinitely more exciting. But instead of the third version of the Border War, Kansas fans get their third look at the Cornhuskers, led by second-year coach Doc Sadler and senior center Aleks Maric. Kansas won both meetings during the regular season, and should have a distinct crowd advantage.
WHO TO WATCH
At 6-foot-11 and 275 pounds, Aleks Maric is a load inside. But Kansas has traditionally been adept at stopping the bulky center. The Jayhawks held Maric scoreless in their 84-49 blowout victory against
Nebraska on Jan. 26. Maric,
an Australian native, is
averaging
16 points
per game
and 10.2
rebounds
Marie
per game this season, and was named First-Team All-Big 12 by the Associated Press. By now, the Jayhawks should be familiar with the key to stopping Nebraska: Shut down Maric, and you shut down the Huskers.
Will Kansas get caught looking ahead?
QUESTION MARK
Baylor's first-round loss to Colorado Thursday proved that upsets can happen in the Big 12 tournament. The Jayhawks also might be looking ahead to a possible matchup with Kansas State in the semi-finals on Saturday.
HEARYE. HEARYE
"We put an emphasis on playing good in the conference tournament when we got beat in the semi-finals two years ago. We'll put the same emphasis on it as we have the past four years and hopefully we'll have similar results as the last two. We still have a lot to play for. In our mind and in Texas' mind, even though they beat us, there is a chance to determine the premier team in the league and the only way we can do that, both us and Texas, is if we play really good on Friday and Saturday and get to Sunday."
Bill Self on playing in the Big 12 tournament this weekend

Who's your president?

KANSAS CITY WESLEY
BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com
Adam McGonigle's cell phone rang a few weeks ago. His father was on the line. Eric McGonigle had spent his morning reading a story about his son on the Internet, and some of the reader comments had been less than flattering.
One in particular had caught Eric's eye, so dad called son. "I'm so proud," Eric joked with his son. "To be the dad of a son who gave up his dignity to be student body president."
Then Eric McGonigle gave his son some fatherly advice.
"I told him it's all in a day's living" Eric McGonnie said.
From left, Adam McGonigle, for United Students, Adam Wood, for Students of Liberty, and Austin Kelly, for KU Connect, are the Spring 2008 Student Senate presidential candidates
Well, maybe not for everyone. But when you're McGonigle, and you're running for president of Student Senate as part of the United Students coalition, scrutiny comes with the territory.
It's something that the Wichita sophomore said he had come to understand. Whether it's somebody questioning his youth, or someone questioning his dignity, McGonigle said he laughed it off.
He said he never expected to run for Student Senate president when he arrived on campus in fall 2006. McGonigle, a graduate of North High School in Wichita, read the newspaper one day and saw an advertisement about freshman Student Senate elections.
"It was kind of done on a whim," McGonigle said.
But McGonigle, who is majoring in journalism and political science, won a seat as a senator.
"I really jumped right into Senate and got involved from that point on," McGonigle said. "I started writing bills, funding different organizations, started learning the inner workings of Student Senate."
McGonigle also spent time during his freshman year working in Governor Kathleen Sebelius' office in Topeka.
A year and a half later, McGonigle is running for Student Senate president, and if he wins, he'll become the first sophomore to be elected president since Steve Munch in spring 2003.
Student Senate President Hannah Love said she thought McGonigle was more than capable of leading Student Senate.
"He's very organized, he always has everything together," Love said. "When he goes into a meeting, he's totally prepared."
Love said McGonigle proved himself as a leader last spring, when he dedicated himself to the United Students coalition campaign and ran for a freshman-sophomore senator position.
"I think the reason age is important is because of experience, and typically age accompanies experience." McGonigle said.
"He definitely stood out as a leader" Love said.
McGonigle has his own opinions about youth and experience.
He said his position as Chair of the Student Executive Committee had prepared him for the challenge of being president.
"And," McGonigle said, "I have the fresh ideas that are desperately needed right now."
McGonigle said the time he spent serving Senate this year motivated him to improve carpus.
And when the campaign does become grueling, McGonigan said he relies on his family.
McGonigle has a sister who is a senior at William Jewel College in Liberty, Mo., and a brother who is a senior at North High School.
"They are what keep me chugging away day to day," McGonigle said. "I'm working hard to make KU a better place, but what I care about most, is my family, my faith and my friends."
"If your motivation isn't actually that you believe in the ideas you want to implement, if that's not your motivation, then you're going to have a tough time in this campaign." McGonigle said. "Because it can be grueling at times."

Adam Wood Students of Liberty
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Adam Wood knows it will be a challenge running for Student Senate president as part of the Students of Liberty coalition. The Lawrence native, though, has been through his fair share of challenges before.
Wood lay in a hospital bed in fall 2005. With a plastic tube shoved through his nose and down into his stomach, Wood sat up and began vomiting stomach acid.
"It was some kind of hell," said Wood, a Lawrence native who had just finished his first semester at Kansas the previous spring. He spent a month in that hospital bed, unable to eat or drink. Wood had problems with digestive system.
"I lost 50 pounds," Wood said. "I think that was a pretty defining moment in my college experience. For all intents and purposes, I really shouldn't be alive."
But it was in that hospital bed that Wood said he had a realization. He no longer wanted to be the slacker who didn't care about school.
Wood said the hospital stay was a wake-up call. He decided he wanted to do something with his life.
"Underachiever would be the word." Wood said.
Wood's foray in campus politics first began last fall when Wood and his vice presidential running mate, Eric Hyde, Lawrence sophomore, created Students for Ron Paul, an organization that supported Paul's presidential bid. That organization morphed into Students of Liberty.
Wood said he was trying to downplay the Ron Paul connection. The ideology might be similar, but the two groups have little in common.
"I don't know why, but there kind of a knee-jerk reaction to him," Wood said
STUDENTS OF LIBERTY ADAM WOOD & ERIC HYDE
of the public's perception of Paul.
Wood said he knows that Students of Liberty faced challenges. Wood said Students of Liberty might not have the financial resources of the other coalitions or a full slate of senators, but Wood still has aspirations.
Wood said he had visions of spreading Students of Liberty to other universities, such as those in Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri.
Wood said he liked to see an overhauling of campus politics.
"I'm just really tired of people getting in there that don't really do what they say," Wood said. "When you see year after year that the same party wins, except for maybe once or twice, there's no reason to vote."
Listen to Wood, and he'll keep talking about making a difference. He's dreaming big.
He said he'd like to go to law school after college, and maybe even try his hand at local politics.
"Something like city commission at first," Wood said. "I'd like to move up to mayor, if I could. If I could get to governor..." Wood said, his voice trailing off into a quick smile.
Still, Wood is realistic and optimistic about the future.
"This is our establishment year," Wood said about Students of Liberty. "I'd like to win, but on the off chance I don't, we will be more established next year. And we will have a full slate of senators next year."
The odds may be stacked against Wood, but he said he's been in this kind of situation before.
His life, Wood says. "It's definitely a turnaround story."

Austin Kelly Connect KU
CONNECT
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
And of course, Kelly, who is the current Student Senate treasurer, sees himself sitting in the president's seat.
Austin Kelly has a vision for the Student Senate office. The Lawrence senior sees an office with no doors. He sees a sign-up sheet for meetings with the Student Senate president. He sees students meeting with the president and voicing their opinions.
"Every coalition ever talks about (how) 'We're going to be open and available to students.'" Kelly said. "But then, they go into their offices and lock themselves away from anyone coming in."
"I think that's valuable because you don't spend four years thinking like a student senator," Kelly said. "You spend two years thinking like everybody else."
Kelly said he never had any goals or ambition of running for Student Senate president. He didn't become involved with Student Senate until the second semester of his sophomore year.
And Kelly say its "everybody else" he's most concerned about.
"Id hear words like 'elistit' and 'no one
—" Kelly said.
Kelly talked passionately about changing that image.
Kelly said he and the Connect KU vice presidential candidate, Jason Oruch, spent time last fall visiting various student organizations to ask what they thought about Student Senate. The results weren't pretty, Kelly said.
Kelly Parker, Kelly's junior high chess coach, remembers Kelly bringing the same passion he shows for Student Senate to the game of chess.
"Austin would never give up," Parker said. "Even if he saw a kid was 10 moves away from beating him, he would never quit. He was going to make that kid make those 10 moves."
Kelly would rather not focus on chess. Nevermind the fact that Kelly competed in numerous national chess tournaments. Nevermind the fact that Kelly said chess taught him the value of patience.
"I just don't want to look like a nerd," Kelly said.
Parker said he didn't remember anything nerdy about the young kid who first sat in his seventh grade geography class. He remembers a focused Kelly who commanded respect from all his classmates.
"He's got that air about him, where he could say, 'Hey, listen to me, and we'll go far. We'll get things done,'" Parker said. "He always knew where he wanted to go, and he knew he had to work hard to get there."
Kelly said his motivation for running for president was simple.
"I honestly feel like I'm the most qualified person for the job," Kelly said. "Based on my experience in the office, my experience being around the University, I really believe that. That's the main driving force."
Kelly has spent the last two years as Student Senate treasurer, approving the senate-funded purchases of student organizations.
"I've been student body treasurer longer than current sophomores have been at KU." Kelly said.
Before becoming involved with Senate Kelly, who has lived at the Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall for nearly four years, served on the All-Scholarship Hall Council.
Now Kelly is more concerned about his vision for a revamped Student Senate.
"I really feel like Student Senate has stagnated," Kelly said. "I think Jason and I give the students a chance to go on a new course. I think if students elect us, they'll see it, and if they don't, I don't believe they will. I think they'll get more of the same."

ODD NEWS Oreo cookie is driver's favorite defense
SAISUBUR, Conn. — Police say a man's excuse for speeding through a small Connecticut town takes the cake — or, at least, the cookie.
A state trooper who stopped the 1993 BMW last fall says its driver, 28-year-old Justin Vonkummer of Millerton, N.Y., blamed his driving problems on an errant Oreo.
Vonkummer told the trooper that an Oreo had just slipped from his fingers as he dunked it in a cup of milk, and that he was trying to fish it out when he lost control of his car.
Prosecutors learned in court this week that Vonkummer had been charged with speeding and driving under a suspended license — not driving under the influence, as a clerk had mistakenly noted in the court records.

Meet your Student Senator with Doug Brady, freshman senator
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
Doug Brady came to the University this year wanting to get involved, and he's managed to rack up a long list of accomplishments by semester's end. The United Students Topeka freshman is not only a freshman student senator, but also the president of the Lewis and Templin Hall Council, a KU Student Ambassador, a member of National Residency Hall Honorary, a member of Student Union Activities and will be the new Live Music Coordinator next year.
Brady said he wanted to join the Senate because he felt that it was important to have a say in what they do with the millions of dollars that they have each year. Brady said he was looking forward to, as a senator, writing his first bill, which could happen relatively soon.
An issue that concerns Brady is that recently Senate can no longer pay for organizations to travel. "I think that we should help groups because when these groups travel, they represent KU," he said. "Our University looks good by our constant involvement in conferences, but if we don't help groups, then less
1980
people will attend these conferences because they won't have the money to send very many people."
Brady believes that by funding these groups, it makes the University look good as a whole for graduate school and potential employers. However, Brady wants to look further into the issue before doing anything. "I plan to start talking to senators who have been around longer before I try to do anything about it. It may be that I am in the wrong," he said.
Brady said he was in love with classical music, he even played the violin and thought about it for his major. "I wanted to major in music performance for a while, but then I realized I wasn't good enough to make a living off of my violin," he said. Brady had the opportunity this
Brady is an English and communication studies major. Once he graduates, Brady said he planned on attending graduate school to get a master's and a doctorate in higher administration. "From there, I want to work in student involvement and leadership. When people then ask me, 'So you want to be Reuben Perez?' I reply, 'Basically, yes.'" Brady said.

Astronauts spacewalk final night away
CAPE CANVAERAL, Fla.
— Enneavour's astronauts embarked on the fifth and final spacewalk of their mission Saturday, this time to attach a 50-foot inspection pole to the international space station for use by the next shuttle visitors.
Michael Foreman and Robert Behnken floated out the hatch late in the afternoon as the linked shuttle and station soared more than 200 miles above the Pacific. They planned to spacewalk the night away.
"Spacewalk No. 5 out of five, It's going to be a great one," said their commander, Dominic Gorle.
The shuttle astronauts used the laser-tipped inspection boom at the beginning of their 16-day mission and again Friday night to check for any damage to their spaceship. It's become a routine safety procedure ever since the 2003 Columbia accident.

CRIME
Suspect held for residence hall attack
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com
A man suspected of raping a freshman resident of GSP-Corbin Hall on Sunday, March 9, was arrested in Pratt County Tuesday.
The suspect, Kevin Towne, a 20-year-old Wichita resident, was arrested on charges of rape and aggravated burglary.
Towne made his first appearance in court Thursday and bail was set at $100,000. Towne will make his next appearance on April 3.
According to the KU Public Safety Office crime log, the suspect entered the room of a GSP resident and had sexual intercourse with the resident without her consent between 1:45 a.m. and 3 a.m. on March 9. The KU Public Safety Office said Towne was not a KU student, but he was an acquaintance of the victim.
Towne was also charged with aggravated burglary because he entered the victim's room without permission and refused to leave the room after the victim requested
his departure, according to the Public Safety Office's and Lawrence Judicial and Law Enforcement Center's reports.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the
Capt. Schuyl Public Safety Office, said he could not say why Douglas County was holding Towne in jail.
ID-based access system which residents must use at all times to gain entry to the residence halls.
Sheryl Wright, assistant to the district attorney, said the district attorney's office could not discuss the details of the crime yet because it did not want to jeopardize the trial.
She said during the day, guests did not have to sign in at the front
This is the first rape that has been reported to the KU Public Safety Office this semester and the fourth that has been reported this school year.
According to a report filed by the Lawrence Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, nine people were witnesses to the charges filed against Towne. Seven of the witnesses were KU students.
Jennifer Wamelink, associate director of housing, said all of the residence halls were secured by an
desk, but during security hours, 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., guests and the residents they are visiting are required to leave a photo ID at the front desk until the guest checks out.
Additionally, Wamelink said two to four student security monitors took turns making sure all the exits were secure and nothing out of the ordinary was occurring at the residence halls.
Wamelink said security hours had been in place at the dorms for at least 10 years but that the access systems were new this year. She said as far as she knew, there had not been any problems in the past
with unauthorized persons in the dormitories because the front desks were located directly in front of the entry ways.
This is the first rape that has been reported to the KU Public Safety Office this semester and the fourth that has been reported this school year.
Rapes were reported at Oliver Hall in September, and at McCollum and Lewis Halls in October. The suspect involved in the rape at Oliver Hall was released after no charges were filed. The suspects involved in the McCollum and Lewis cases were interviewed but released and the cases were passed on to the district attorney's office.
Wamelink said residents were responsible for their guests at all times.
"We do our best to have good procedures and processes in place to help students make good decisions, and safety is everyone's responsibility," Wamelink said.

Some states not compromising for Real ID law
NATIONAL
BY DEVLIN BARRETT ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - There are signs of a potential compromise to end the Bush administration's standoff with states resisting new standards for driver's licenses. For people who live in those holdout states, the dispute raises the specter of hassles at airports and federal buildings.
At issue is a law known as Real ID that would require new security measures for state-issued
driver's licenses. The Bush administration said the law, passed after the Sept. 11 attacks, will hinder terrorists, con artists and illegal immigrants. Opponents say it will cost too much and weaken privacy protections.
Unless holdout states send a letter by the end of March seeking an extension, their residents no longer can use a driver's licenses as valid identification to board airplanes or enter federal buildings beginning in May, Homeland Security Secretary
Michael Chertoff has warned. They would have to present a passport or be subjected to secondary screening.
Only three states — Maine, Montana and South Carolina — have not sought extensions or already started moving toward compliance. New Hampshire has asked to be exempted, but Homeland Security Department officials have not found the state's letter to be legally acceptable.
But on Friday, the agency granted Montana an extension
even though state officials did not ask for one and insist they will not follow the law.Gov. Brian Schweitzer, D-Mont., told The Associated Press that administration officials "painted themselves in a corner."
Chertoff has offered to phase in requirements over about 10 years. But with President Bush leaving office in January, a decision to move ahead with Chertoff's plan will rest with the next administration.

A semi tractor trailer cab sits partially submerged in flood water from the Meramec River at the intersection of state route 141 and Interstate 44 Saturday in Fenton, Mo. Levees broke in two places and caused flooding in outlying areas.
Levees break, flood
BY JON GAMBRELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — High water pouring down the White River could cause historic flooding in cities along its path in eastern Arkansas, forecasters warned Sunday.
The river, one of many out of its banks across wide areas of the Midwest, could top levels recorded in a devastating flood 25 years ago, National Weather Service meteorologist John Robinson said.
"There will be water going into areas where people have not seen it before, and may not be expecting to see high water," Robinson wrote in an e-mail to reporters Sunday.
A tributary of the White River, the Black River, ruptured a levee in two places Saturday near Pocaontas, said Renee Presslar, a spokeswoman for the Arkansas
Department of Emergency Management. That stream has been bloated by water pouring downstream from hard-hit southeastern Missouri.
Preslar said the levee breaks allowed flooding in outlying areas but she did not have details on what might have been damaged.
The Army Corps of Engineers worked through the night to plug the breaks with sandbags, and that work appeared to be holding as of Sunday afternoon, Preslar said.
"Right now, it's kind of a wait- and-see game," she said.
Corps of Engineers spokesman P.J. Spaul said the levee near Pocahontas was built in the 1940s. The levee district charged with its maintenance dissolved in the 1960s, leaving it to sag and have trees to grow up in its banks over the last 40 years, Spaul said.

Journal submissions needed
BY In
BY LUKE MORRIS
tmirris@kansan.com
Students may be able to see their research published in a new University journal. Editors of the Journal of Undergraduate Research, of JUR, are looking for original research from University undergraduate students for the journal's first edition, which is set to come out as early as this spring.
Editors have set a tentative deadline for submissions on Tuesday, April 1, said Ryan Ellis, one of the editors and a Manhattan junior.
Ellis said one of the JUR's goals was to feature research from many different departments.
"We really want this to be interdisciplinary and cover the whole University," he said.
Ellis said that a few other Big 12 universities had similar undergraduate journals, but only the University of Texas' journal also covered all departments.
He said that about 12 students had shown interest in publishing in the JUR so far, but no one had actually submitted anything.
Andrew MacDonald, Overland Park junior, said that he was editing his honors thesis in political science for publication in the JUR. He said that the project
"It's more rigorous to publish something for peers to critique," MacDonald said. "It's a model of writing we don't get to use much in school."
interested him because it provided practice for his profession's writing style.
MacDonald also said that he liked the "academic dialogue" that publishing his research could potentially open.
Chris Haufler, professor of biology and director of the division of biological sciences, serves as the faculty adviser for the journal. He said that University faculty and administration had provided a lot of support to the JUR. Haufler said he decided to get involved because he believed in the importance of undergraduate research.
"I'm very supportive of undergrad research and think that it ought to be something any undergrad can participate in," Haufler said. "I think this project provides an opportunity for undergraduates to share their research with the academic community."
Ellis said that submissions for the JUR needed to be free of jargon and accessible to everyone.
"If you're writing about international politics, you have to make it so someone in biology can understand it," Ellis said.
how to submit:
What: submissions for Journal of Undergraduate Research (JUR)
Who: University undergraduate students
Where: e-mail kujur08@gmail.com
When: by April 1
Ellis said he hoped the first edition of the journal would be published during this semester, but publication could be delayed until next semester in a worst-case scenario.
"We're trying to get this down in a very short amount of time." Ellis said. "We've had to really push to try to get it done before finals week."
Students looking for more information about the journal can check out the Web site at web.ku.edu/~kujur. Those interested in publishing their research can e-mail it to knjur08@gmail.com.

But Rep. Bob Bethell, R-Alden, who chairs a budget subcommittee that oversees the program, said that since the program started in 1994, only two people have finished the various phases of
STATE
Lawmakers last week rejected an effort to require an audit of the program at Larned State Hospital, with opponents saying the move would threaten public safety and the jobs of the program's employees.
treatment and been released.
Under Kansas law, sex offenders who have finished their prison sentences can be kept in the program at Larned State Hospital if they are determined to be a continuing threat to the community.
But costs of the program have increased. The proposed budget for the sexual predator treatment program for the present fiscal year is $13.4 million to treat 171 patients, five times more than the program cost in 2003.
"Let's look at the program and see how we can actually affect the treatment of these folks," Bethell told the Lawrence Journal-World for a story published Sunday.

Sex offender program under watch
Lawmakers recently approved $1.3 million in supplemental funding for staffing and operations at both the program at Larned State Hospital and transitional housing for patients at Osawatomie.
Mark Brull, who has been committed to the sexual predator program since 1999, said it is a waste of taxpayer's money and fails to help patients move toward re-entering the community. Brull said he would rather serve time in prison, which costs about one-third less than the treatment program.
Singer injured in bus crash
Don Jordan, secretary of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, defended the program, saying the state agency "has implemented a rigorous treatment and evaluation system to assure each person committed in this program remain in treatment until a court determines he is able to safely return home without posing a risk to his family, neighbors or community at large."

The bus carrying Grammy-winning Tejano singer Emilio Navaira sits on top of a barrier after the band's bus crashed at 5 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 610 northbound in Houston, leaving Navaira critically injured. Navaira was one of eight passengers on the bus who were injured, said Houston Assistant Fire Chief Omero Longoria. Navaira was listed in critical condition at Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he was being treated in the intensive care unit, said hospital administrator Lagrone.

INTERNATIONAL Pope celebrates Easter Sunday conversions
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI rejoiced over conversions to Christianity in an Easter Sunday Mass on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica a day after he baptized a prominent Muslim newspaper editor.
A white canopy protected the 80-year-old pontiff from a downpour while thousands of pilgrims, tourists and Romans braved thunder and wind-whipped rain.
The faithful were celebrating their belief in the resurrection of Jesus after he was crucified. Thanks to the apostles' preaching about the resurrection, "thousands and thousands of persons converted to Christianity." Benedict said.
"And this is a miracle which renews itself even today," the pope said, hours after a Saturday night Easter vigil service in which he baptized seven adults. The converts included Magdi
Allam, a prominent journalist and commentator in Italy who has received death threats for his denunciations of Islamic fanaticism.
Allam, 55, deputy editor of Corriere della Sera newspaper, was born a Muslim in Egypt, but was educated by Catholics and says he has never been a practicing Muslim.
He wrote in a front-page letter published Sunday in Corriere that he was now taking on the middle name Cristiano
Christian in Italian.
He expressed his gratitude to Benedict, calling Saturday "the most beautiful day of my life"
Cheney visits West Bank in hopes of Mideast peace
RAMALLAH, West Bank Palestinian leaders asked Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday to pressure Israel to halt settlement construction and voiced other complaints that deflated Cheney's hopeful words about Mideast peace.
Palestinians had little expectation their meetings with Cheney, a strong defender of the Jewish state, would produce anything concrete. While that was the case, the Bush administration did get another chance to nudge the two sides toward an agreement before President Bush leaves office in January. The Palestinians, too, had another shot at expressing their frustrations.
The vice president said neither side should pass up this latest opportunity for an accord despite rancor over Israeli settlements and the retaliatory attacks from each that have disrupted negotiations intended to lead to Palestinian statehood.
ALASKA RANGER
SEATTLE
"This can be done, and if all concerned stay at the work, success will be achieved," Cheney said, striking a hopeful tone on Easter Sunday during his first vice presidential visit to the Palestinian territory.
After talks with Israeli officials in Jerusalem, Cheney flew to the West Bank by helicopter.
The Coast Guard said four crew members died Sunday and another was missing after the 184-foot Alaska Ranger began sinking in high seas off Alaska's Aleutian Islands. The Ranger is shown here in January 2006 at the Dutch Harbor, Alaska. dock.

NATIONAL Cargill meat packing plant explodes, causes gas leak
+
American Red Cross
NATIONAL
BOONEVILLE, Ark. — A meat packing plant exploded Sunday afternoon, forcing homes to be evacuated because ammonia gas leaked into the air, state officials said.
It was not immediately known if there were any injuries, but a witness said she saw injured people.
Flames poured out of the Cargill Meat Solutions plant just after 2 p.m., witnesses said. It wasn't immediately known how many homes were evacuated in the western Arkansas town of 4,000, emergency management spokeswoman Renee Preslar said.
A hazardous materials team from Sebastian County was heading to Booneville, Preslar said
Meredith Voges, 22, of Connecticut, said she heard the explosion while staying at a hotel just behind the plant. Voges, a member of a film crew shooting footage for a television program about a Booneville school principal, described the scene as "chaotic" and said hotel staff and police urged everyone to leave the area.
"The whole factory was ablaze with black smoke flying into the air, plumes of smoke,"Voges said. She said she saw injured people.
Cargill Inc. has about 2,000 employees in Arkansas, according to its Web site. Mark Klein, a spokesman for the Minneapolisbased company, said the plant was closed Sunday, but about 20 contractors and a few other employees were at the site at the time of the fire.
Klein said the plant, which produces frozen ground beef patties and steaks, uses ammonia in its refrigeration system. The plant employs about 800 people.
Four dead after boat sinks near Alaskan islands
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Four crew members died Sunday and another was missing after a Seattle-based fishing boat began sinking in high seas off Alaska's Aleutian Islands, the Coast Guard said.
The dead were among 47 crew members who abandoned ship after the 184-foot Alaska Ranger developed problems. Forty-two crew members were recovered safely, but a search was continuing for the missing person, said Chief Petty Officer Barry Lane.
The vessel started taking on water shortly before 3 a.m. after losing control of its rudder 120 miles west of Dutch Harbor, which is on Unalaska Island.
All those on board were heading to Dutch Harbor in a Coast Guard cutter and the Alaska Ranger's sister ship, the Alaska Warrior. The vessel took part in the rescue operation along with two Coast Guard helicopters that were used to pluck crew members from life rafts, Lane said.
A C-130 also remained to help search for the missing crew member. Coast Guard Lt. Eric Eggan said it was unknown how or when the four died. The identities of the dead were unknown.
Bank's collapse adds to nation's economic worries
NEW YORK - For months, Americans have been subjected to a sort of economic water torture — a maddening drip of bad news about jobs, gas prices, sagging home values, creeping inflation, the slouching dollar and a stock market in bumpy descent.
Then came Bear Stearns. One of the five largest U.S. investment banks nearly collapsed in a single day before the government propped it up by backing emergency loans and a rival stepped in to buy it for a paltry $2 per share.
To the drumbeat of signs that seemed to foretell a traditional recession, this added a night-marish specter — an old-style run on the bank, customers clamoring to pull their cash, a

PRESIDENTIAL Investigation of passport file security breach begins
WASHINGTON — Senators from both parties on Sunday urged the Department of Justice to investigate the unauthorized searches of the passport files of three presidential candidates by State Department contract workers.
"That kind of a breach of privacy is just despicable," said Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I think that ought to be a very intense investigation." Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., agreed, saying the incidents seem to point to a broader problem.
"The Government Accountability Office has been warning about this problem for a decade. And it seems to me in this administration, there's been pretty much a culture of disregard for privacy, and that's part of the problem," he said.
Both senators spoke on CNN's "Late Edition."
Last week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice apologized to presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama after the department confirmed the passport files had been compromised. It was not clear whether the workers — two have been fired — saw anything other than the basic personal data such as name, citizenship, age, Social Security number and place of birth — that is required when applying for a passport.
The State Department's inspector general is investigating
Attorney General Michael Mukasey has indicated that prosecutors would likely wait until the inspector general concludes that inquiry before deciding whether to open an investigation of its own.
On Sunday, Specter urged Mukasey to take up the case, saying the breach could be a violation of several federal criminal statutes. Specter also indicated that the Judiciary Committee might take a look as well.
"I think privacy is a very fundamental matter. And if you can't have privacy for Senator McCain and Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, so what's the average person facing?" Specter said. "It ought to be pursued very diligently, in a tough way."
The two companies that provided the workers for the State Department — Stanley Inc., of Arlington, Va., and The Analysis Corp., or TAC, of McLean, Va. have said their employees' actions were unauthorized and not consistent with company policies.

Dalai Lama accused of stoking unrest between China, Tibet
BY CARA ANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHENGDU, China — China accused the Dalai Lama on Sunday of stoking Tibetan unrest to sabotage the Beijing Olympics and also bered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying she is ignoring the truth about Tibet.
Th i s month's violence in Tibet and neighboring provinces has turned into a public relations disaster for China ahead of the August Olympics, which it had been hoping
"baseless," asserting that he supported China's hosting of the summer games.
"What was an empty parking lot by the library was full of military trucks and people practicing with shields."
Pelosi's visit to the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India, on Friday was the first by a major foreign official since the protests broke out. The Democratic leader said if people don't speak out against China's oppression in Tibet, "we have lost all moral author-
to use to bolster its international image.
RALPHA Backpacker in Yunnan province
The Chinese government said through official media that formerly restive areas were under control and accused the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, of trying to harm China's image ahead of the summer games.
"The Dalai clique is scheming to take the Beijing Olympics hostage to force the Chinese government to make concessions to Tibet independence," said the People's Daily, the main mouthpiece of the Communist Party.
The Tibetan spiritual leader called the accusations against him
ity to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world."
China's official Xinhua News Agency published commentary Sunday accusing Pelosi of ignoring the
violence caused by the Tibetan rioters.
"Human rights police' like Pelosi are habitually bad tempered and unengered when it comes to China, refusing to check their facts and find out the truth of the case," it said. "Her views are like so many other politicians and western media. Beneath the double standards lies their intention to serve the interest groups behind them, who want to contain or searce China."
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said Sunday that Pelios condemns the Chinese government's crackdown in Tibet and
calls on it "to begin a substantive dialogue and to allow journalists and independent monitors into Tibet to find out the truth."
China's reported death toll from the protests in the Tibetan capital Lhasa earlier this month is 22. Tibet's exiled government says 99 Tibetans have been killed.
Xinhua said Sunday that 94 people had been inured in four
counties and one city in Gansu province in riots on March 15-16. The report also said 19 rioters had surrendered in Gannan, a prefecture in Gansu, but it did not give any details.
Monastery outside of Zhongdian in northwest Yunnan prayed Sunday for peace and an end to the recent unrest. The monks, who characterized themselves as both Tibetan and Chinese, said they felt that the upheaval and riots had helped no one.
The government has insisted that stability has returned to the troubled areas. State broadcaster China Central Television said Sunday that electricity and telecommunications had been restored in Lhasa.
China reports 22 deaths in the Tibetan capital Lhasa. Xinhua News Agency reports 94 people injured in four counties and one city in Gansu province.
Despite the media restrictions imposed by the Chinese government, some information was leaking out. An American backpacker who traveled to Chengdu, the capital of western Sichuan province, said he had seen soldiers or paramilitary troops in Deqen in northwest Yunnan province, which borders Tibet.
Monks at the Gedan Song Zan
"What was an empty parking lot by the library was full of military trucks and people practicing with shields. I saw hundreds of soldiers," said the backpacker, who would give only his first name, Ralpha.
The official lighting of the
Olympic torch is set for Monday in Greece, and some 1,000 police will surround Ancient Olympia to keep away pro-Tibetan protesters from the ceremony. The torch is scheduled to travel through 20 countries before the Beijing Olympics open on Aug. 8.
One of Thailand's six torchbearers withdrew Sunday in protest. Environmentalist Narisa Chakrabongse said in an open letter that she decided against taking part in the relay to "send a strong message to China that the world community could not accept its actions."
POLLINS
Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi greet each other at a public reception at the Nangayal complex in Dharamsala, India. Friday, Pelosi, called on the world community to denounce China in the wake of its crackdown in Tibet, calling the crisis "a challenge to the conscience of the world."

Pakistan's Musharraf's days as president may be numbered
BY STEPHEN GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan's prime minister-in-waiting has the experience and track record to hold together an unwieldy coalition as it moves to neutralize President Pervez Musharraf, lawmakers and analysts said Sunday.
But Yousaf Raza Gilani also has a personal reason to ignore Musharraf's appeals for cooperation: he spent years in jail under the U.S.-backed leader.

YousaRza Raza Gilani, a nominee for Prime Minister from Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan People Party, speaks during a press conference at Parliament House, Sunday in Islamabad, Pakistan. The party of Bhutto named former parliament speaker Gilani as its candidate for the country's next prime minister, after routing Musharraf's allies to win the most seats in last month's polls.

Lawmakers are expected to confirm him in a parliamentary vote Monday. He is a sho-cin-in after opposition parties swept elections last month and Musharraf is then expected to swear him in Tuesday.
"Mr. Gilani is a man who suffered from Musharraraf's martial law," said Ahsan Iqbal, a lawmaker for one of four parties which have agreed to form a new coalition government and are expected to elect him with a thumping majority. "He understands that getting rid of dictatorship is important."
Gilani, a loyalist of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto, will lead an administration facing mounting economic problems, including double-digit inflation, power shortages and sagging foreign investment.
Western governments fearful of a resurgence of al-Qaida in Pakistan's ungoverned region bordering Afghanistan urgently want to know what changes the government will make to Musharraf's unpopular, military-led policies against Islamic extremism.
In a speech marking Pakistan's national day on Sunday, Musharraf hailed the start of a "new era of real democracy" in Pakistan and vowed to support the new cabinet.
"I hope the new government can maintain peace and the fast pace of socio-economic development in Pakistan," Musharraf said at a parade of jets and missiles from Pakistan's nuclear-capable arsenal. "And I hope it will also continue our struggle against the curse of terrorism and extremism with the same force."
Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party named Gilani as its candidate on Saturday after winning the largest bloc in parliament in Feb. 18 elections.
However, the declared priority for the parties which won the parliamentary vote is bolstering
democracy by further capping Musharraf's already diminished powers.
"All political forces have to work together to take the country out of this crisis," Gilani said Sunday, vowing to restore the independence of Pakistan's judges and media.
- Asked whether he would work with Musharraf or push him from office, he said only: "I will follow the constitution."
Gilani, was a minister in Bhutto's 1988-1990 government and parliamentary speaker during her 1993-1996 term.
Bhutto's second government foundered amid bitter fighting with Nawaz Sharif, another former prime minister whose party is the second-biggest in the new anti-Musharraf alliance.
After Musharraf seized power in a 1999 coup, an anti-corruption court convicted Gilani on charges including abusing his authority to make appointments. He spent five years in jail before his convictions were overturned and he was freed
in 2006.
Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party insists the charges were politically motivated. Bhutto herself only returned from exile last year after Musharraf ordered long-pending corruption cases tossed out.
"He has also made sacrifices, which is a very major criteria within the People's Party," Talat Masood, a retired general and prominent policy analyst, said of Gilani.
That record helped Gilani fend off the challenge of another party stalwart, Makhdoom Amin Fahim, for the nomination. Fahim was initially the front-runner but was overlooked after a Sharif aide suggested he was too close to Musharraf.
Bhutto's assassination in a gun and suicide bomb attack in December left her party in a leadership crisis. Her widower, Asif Ali Zardari, has assumed command of the party while their 19-year-old son Bilawal, officially the chairman, continues his studies at Oxford University.

IRAQ WAR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Army says Sgt. James W. McDonald suffered a severe head wound in Iraq in a bomb blast but what caused his death six months later was undetermined, which keeps him off the casualty list. The family of McDonald, 26, of Neenah, Wis., has asked Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., for help in getting more answers.
Family wants son's death acknowledged by Army
BY ROBERT IMRIE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WAUSAU, Wis. — Joan McDonald believes her son was a casualty of the war in Iraq, but the Army says that while he did suffer a severe head wound in a bomb blast, the cause of his death is undetermined, keeping him off the casualty list.
She and her family are demanding more answers in the death of Sgt. James W. McDonald.
"I don't want it to be an undetermined cause of death," said Joan McDonald. "That is ridiculous."
McDonald, 26, was injured in a roadside bomb blast in Iraq last May. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment based at Fort Hood, Texas. After treatment in Germany, McDonald returned to Fort Hood and underwent extensive facial surgery in August.
His body was found in his barracks apartment Nov. 12, a Monday. He was last seen alive the previous Friday.
The Army ruled out suicide and accidental factors, but an autopsy could not determine the exact cause of death, in part because of the decomposition of the body, said Col. Diane Battaglia, a base
spokeswoman
As a result, McDonald's death is considered noncombat-related, with the caveat that medical experts couldn't rule out that "traumatic brain injury" may have been a factor, Battaglia said.
Joan McDonald, of Neenah,
has no doubts about her son's
death.
"If my son was not at the war, he would not be dead, plain and simple," she said. "He was a strong healthy boy. Don't tell me it was unrelated to the war. I will never accept that."
Tom Wilborn, a spokesman for Disabled American Veterans in Washington, said the question of whether McDonald was a war casualty is the first that he was aware of from the Iraq war.
"But it happened a lot during Vietnam," he said. "There's a long history where guys would be wounded in the jungle and they might live long enough to come home. And then they would pass away and were not counted as a combat casualty."
According to an Army study in 2007, 1.4 million people in the U.S. suffer traumatic brain injuries each year. Of those, 50,000 die, 235,000 are hospitalized and 1.1 million are evaluated, treated at a hospital emergency depart-
A Government Accountability Office study found that of soldiers who required a medical evacuation for battle-related injuries in Iraq or Afghanistan, 30 percent suffered a traumatic brain injury. But it was unknown how many soldiers suffered more mild forms of brain injury.
The family has asked Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., for help. McDonald has a copy of a March 11 letter Feingold sent to Maj. Gen. Galen Jakman at the Pentagon outlining her concerns.
McDonald said her son was a strapping 6-foot-3,200-pound soldier who served two tours of duty in Iraq and loved the military.
"He was having a problem sleeping since he came back from the war. I don't think it had anything to do with sleep apnea. I think it had to do with bombs," she said. He also had seen a doctor because of severe nose bleeds but was told the symptoms were not that unusual, given his August surgery, she said.
Before he died, McDonald had worked on the base at a weapons room and the post office, she said. He had planned to leave the Army in January to pursue a career in firefighting.

The investigation ended in early 1991 with a rebuke that McCain "exercised poor judgment in intervening with the regulators." But the Senate ethics committee also determined McCain's actions "were not improper nor attended with gross negligence."
BY LARRY MARGASAK ASSOCIATED PRESS
McCain has claimed the Keating scandal sensitized him even to the appearance of potential conflicts of interest. But in recent weeks, McCain has defended himself anew over another instance in which he intervened with federal regulators on behalf of a prominent campaign contributor — years ago but after the Keating rebuke. Again, McCain denies acting
Keating and his associates raised $1.3 million combined for the campaigns and political causes of all five. McCain's campaigns received $112,000.
WASHINGTON — Sen, John McCain's ethics entanglement with a wealthy banker ultimately convicted of swindling investors was such a disturbing, formative experience in his political career that he compares the scandal in some ways to the five years he was tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
"I faced in Vietnam, at times, very real threats to life and limb," McCain told the Associated Press. "But while my sense of honor was tested in prison, it was not questioned. During the Keating inquiry, it was, and I regretted that very much."
In his early days as a freshman senator, McCain was known for accepting contributions from Charles Keating Jr., flying to the banker's home in the Bahamas on company planes and taking up Keating's cause with U.S. financial regulators as they investigated him.
The Keating Five was the derisive name given McCain and four Democratic senators who were defendants in a congressional ethics investigation of their connections to Keating. McCain is the only one still in the Senate. They were accused of trying to intimidate regulators on behalf of Keating, a real estate developer in Arizona and owner of Lincoln Savings and Loan based in Irvine, Calif.
improperly.
McCain wrote two letters in late 1999 to the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of Florida-based Paxson Communications. He urged quick consideration of a proposal to buy a television station license in Pittsburgh, although he did not ask the FCC commissioners to approve the proposal. At the time, one FCC commissioner's formal nomination was pending before McCain's Senate committee, and the FCC chairman complained that McCain's letters were improper.
McCain wrote the letters after receiving more than $20,000 in contributions from the company's executives and lobbyists. Chief executive Lowell W. "Bud" Paxson also lent McCain his company's jet at least four times during 1999 for campaign travel.
In the Keating investigation, the committee said more than one year had passed — a "decent interval" — between the last contributions Keating raised for McCain and the two 1987 meetings he attended with banking regulators. McCain later paid $112,000 — the amount Keating raised for him — to the U.S. Treasury.
None of the five senators were punished by the Senate. The harshest rebuke went to Alan Cranston, D-Calif., who accepted $1 million in contributions tied to Keating. The ethics committee said Cranston "engaged in an impermissible pattern of conduct in which fundraising and official activities were substantially linked." Cranston died in December 2000.
The ethics committee said McCain took no further action on Keating's behalf after regulators dropped a bombshell during a meeting with the senators: They intended to recommend a criminal investigation of Keating and his savings and loan.
"The appearance of wrongdoing, fair or unfair, can be potentially as injurious as actual wrongdoing," McCain told the AP, reflecting on what he said were his lessons from the scandal. "Also, when questions are raised about your integrity or for that matter anything involving your public career, even, for example, a controversial position on the issues, it is best not to hide from the media or
public."
Now famously accessible to reporters as a presidential candidate, McCain conducted a poisonous newspaper interview nearly 20 years ago with his hometown Arizona Republic. Flashing his quick temper, he insulted, cursed and hung up on reporters questioning him about his ties to Keating. He said he now recognizes it was the worst way to respond.
"Taking all the questions and making your arguments is the only way you can prevent an unfair or injurious public perception becoming fixed," McCain said.
Former Sen. Warren Rudman, R-N.H., a Republican on the ethics panel who investigated McCain, said McCain's political comeback and his personal rehabilitation from his time as a POW were his biggest personal obstacles.
"What happened in Vietnam and the Keating Five, those two were life altering." Rudman said in an interview. "He would not put a losing campaign in the same box. But not wallowing in self pity and doing something positive, that is absolutely John McCain."
Republican Trent Lott of Mississippi, the former Senate majority leader, said McCain's political revival after the investigation was no accident.
"He was so upset at the charges and the impact, he felt an extra need to deal with the kind of things that led to the situation he found himself in," Lott said in an interview. "You can go away disillusioned and angry and just leave, or you can go back to work and try to compensate for it. And that's what John has been about in the years since. He just went back to work. He bent over backwards to be extra careful about ethics."
Keating went to prison for more than four years after a federal fraud conviction. The conviction was reversed on appeal after he argued that jurors improperly had knowledge of a prior state conviction on related charges. He was to be retried in federal court but instead pleaded guilty to four federal fraud counts. Keating admitted he siphoned nearly $1 million from his S&L's insolvent parent company. He was sentenced to time he already had served.

Ecuador awaits DNA test before accusing Colombian military of murder
BY GABRIELA MOLINA ASSOCIATED PRESS
QUITO, Ecuador — President Rafael Correa on Saturday threatened to seek international condemnation against Colombia if DNA tests confirm that Colombia's military killed an Ecuadorean citizen during its raid on a rebel camp in Ecuador's jungle.
Ecuador and Venezuela sent troops to their borders with Colombia after the March 1 cross-border raid. Tensions were largely defused at a regional summit days later.
Relatives of missing Ecuadorean Franklin Aizalia say to have seen news photos that indicate a body that Colombia removed from the camp is that of their son. They will travel to Colombia on Monday in a bid to confirm the body's identity.
Correa urged the Organization of American States to "act forcefully" if tests confirm that Colombia killed an Ecuadorian citizen, saying he did not want a precedent set in the region.
If the body proves to be Aizalia, rather than a Colombian, Correa vowed "to start an extremely strong diplomatic fight, because we will not leave this killing unpunished."
Correa has not renewed diplomatic ties severed with neighboring Colombia after the raid on a jungle camp of the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC — an act he denounced as an attack on his country's sovereignty.
"How can we renew relations if they keep trying to link us to the FARC to justify their aggression?" he said.
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, a close U.S. ally, says documents seized at the camp from the computer of slain rebel leader Raul Reyes show that the FARC gave money to Correa's 2006 presidential campaign. He also says Correa's ally, Venezuelan President
more than three weeks. His family's lawyer said for unknown reasons he had been in the FARC camp for more than a week before the raid.
Correa said he has requested those documents, which he said lack "technical and legal" validity, from Uribe's government through Argentina's embassy in Colombia.

Sebelius' coal plant veto could raise electric rates
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — When Gov. Kathleen Sebelius vetored a bill last week allowing two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas, her message to legislators mentioned their potential carbon dioxide emissions and declared her duty to protect the environment. She and other critics of the bill sense that a growing concern among the public about global warming, which many scientists link to man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
But supporters of the bill answered her by raising concerns about the potential for higher utility bills. Many said Sebelius' action, if allowed to stand, will raise electric rates.
Such arguments are an important part of their attempt to build public support for the two coal-fired plants, which Sunflower Electric Power Corp. wants to
build outside Holcomb, in Finney County. They'll need that support to persuade their colleagues to override Sebelius' veto or to pass a new bill.
"The two arguments that you

are: Rates will go up and reliability will suffer," said Mark Brownstein, a managing director for the national advocacy group Environmental Defense. "It intimidates a discussion. Certainly, no one wants higher rates or ability."

Immediately after Sebelius' veto, a fellow Democrat, Sen. Janis Lee, of Kensington, pre-
tears that her actions will raise rates by, for example, forcing Sunflower and other utilities to use cleaner-burning but more expensive natural gas as fuel. She again floated a proposal she had made in
January to allow Sunflower to build one coal-fired plant if the company committed to developing wind energy and conservation programs.
"We recognize that adding additional coal-fired power is likely to lower the high rates currently being paid by some Kansas customers who rely completely on natural gas for electricity," Sebelius wrote.
Sunflower wants to build two, 700-megawatt coal-fired plants. But in October, Rod Bremby, Kansas' secretary of health and environment, denied an air-quality permit for the Hays-based utility. Legislators responded with their bill, which would allow the $3.6 billion project to go forward and strip the secretary of some of his power.
about 400,000 customers in 55 counties. The 1,400 megawatts of generating capacity created by its project would be enough to supply the peak needs of 700,000 households, according to one state estimate.
But two out-of-state partners, one headquartered in Colorado and the other in Texas, initially would claim about 86 percent of the power. That arrangement is designed to give Sunflower

The Sierra Club has a c c u s e d Sunflower of having a conflict of interest because Earl chief executive
officer, and another executive sit on the board of the Western Fuels Association, based in Colorado. The association provides services to member utilities.
It manages two coal mines, and its Internet home page declares, "Coal is where your power begins." It promises members will receive "a reliable supply of coal."
But the association is a nonprofit cooperative, and Watkins said it's natural — and responsible — for members to play a role in its management.
Sunflower spokesman Steve Miller said the company's focus is keeping its customers' rates as low as possible, and in that context, coal makes the most sense.
"We don't have a fuel bias," Miller said. "We have a cost bias."
Historically, Kansas' heavy reliance on coal-fired power plants has kept its electric rates relatively low.

"Five-game" helps Jayhawks run past Rebels, 75-56
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
OMAHA, Neb. — Joe Darger, UNLV's tallest starter, stood at 6-foot-7. Oh, and he preferred shooting threes to banging in the paint.
Seniors Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun and sophomore Darrell Arthur wouldn't admit it, but they had to have been drooling. Those guys were almost that tall in middle school.
"We thought wed play big," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
It just didn't happen. The Jayhawks beat the University of Nevada Las Vegas 75-56 on Saturday at the Qwest Center, pulling away when they started using a smaller, four-guard lineup in the second half. The victory moved
"We take pride in games like this, where guards have to step up and make big plays."
Kansas into the Sweet 16, where it will play Villanova on Friday in Detroit.
SHERRON COLLINS Sophomore guard
By the 10:55 mark of the second half, Kaun, Arthur and Jackson all had at least three fouls. They had combined for a measly 18 points. The inside game wasn't working as planned. Kansas led 50-42 but showed no signs of putting UNLV away. Outside shots weren't falling. The Runnin' Rebels' Wink Adams kept getting to the foul line.
Robinson also got an important boost of confidence. He scored 13 points for the game and scored on a three-pointer and a drive to the basket during the stretch Kansas used to pull away. In the previous four games, he'd scored just 12 points combined. As Robinson walked into the locker room with Collins afterward, he told him how much he needed a game like this.
"You can't get scared at this point, but we were a little concerned," senior guard Russell Robinson said. "We didn't crack them like we wanted to, and we knew they weren't going to go away."
Something needed to change. It was time for "five-game," KU's name for its smaller offense that features four perimeter players. Self saw that UNLV's big men didn't post up much, so replacing a post player with a guard wouldn't hurt the defense. And hey, no offense to the Rebels' guards, but sophomore guard Sherron Collins knew he and his teammates were much faster.
Collins wanted a good one, too. He didn't even practice Friday because of a sore left
“五-game” seemed like a perfect option, and it was. With Collins, Robinson, Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers on the floor at the same time, Kansas pulled away, outscoring UNLV 15-7 in a seven-minute stretch.
"I thought wed be able to get the ball inside more than we did," Robinson said. "But we didn't. We adjusted. The main thing is we got the win."
knee and still wore a brace. The injury limited him slightly, but he finished with 10 points and one killer crossover.
"Midway through the second half," Self said about Collins and Robinson, "it was those two's game."
The four-guard line-up worked,but don't expect it to become a
staple next week in the Sweet 16. Saturdays game gave Self more confidence to use it, but "five-game" is usually called on when the team needs to mix things up, the big guys are in foul trouble or the other team lacks a major post presence.
Collins is one Jayhawk who wouldn't mind running with Rush, Robinson and Chalmers more often.
"We take pride in games like this," he said, "where guards have to step up and make big plays."
The Wildcats, an 11-seed, didn't expect to advance to the second weekend in Detroit. The Jayhawks did.
No postgame celebration took place in the locker room afterwards. The players showered and answered questions from the media. Chalmers folded a piece of paper on Robinson's head while he was on camera, and several other players joked with each other. That was about as far as the iow went.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
The Sweet 16 is old news. Jeremy Case, a fifth-year senior, has been there three times now. He wants more.
"We're happy to be in the Sweet 16," Case said, "but we're supposed to be there. We felt like that at the beginning of the year. Our main goal is to get to the Final Four. We're happy but not satisfied."

said. "If you watch that game and then the Oklahoma State game we looked like two different teams within 24 hours."
Henrickson is also looking to use Kansas' size advantage by getting freshman center Krysten Boogaard involved early and letting new starting point guard LaChelda Jacobs use her play-making ability.
Defensively we've got to turn up the pressure, try and create some offense from our defense and then be able to dominate the boards," Henrickson said.

Jacobs quickness allows her to do several things for the Kansas offense.

This season Allen Fieldhouse has provided comfort rarely found on the road for

BASEBALL Royals option player to Triple-A Omaha Sunday
Hochevar was 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA in three spring training games, allowing seven hits and two runs in eight innings. But he had not pitched since March 13.
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Kansas City Royals optioned Luke Hochevar, the first pick in the 2006 draft to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.
Last September, he was 0-1 with a.2.13 ERA in four outings, including one start.
With the transaction, the Royals have 43 players in camp, including 21 pitchers.
Pitcher begins his first season with Royals, hopes for 20 victories
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Ron Mahay should reach 20 victories this season.
Mahay, a well-traveled left-handed pitcher who began his career as an outfielder, is sitting on 19 wins as he begins his first
season with the Kansas City Royals.
"It might take me 12 years to get to 20 wins," Mahay said, laughing. "Randy Johnson does it in about four months."
Mahay was 3-0 with the Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves last year. Kansas City signed him to a two-year contract for $8 million in December. He has struggled in spring training, allowing eight hits and six walks in six innings. He has a 7.50 ERA.
Mahay, a 1991 15th-round pick of the Boston Red Sox, began his career as an outfielder. He got
his first hit off Buddy Black, the San Diego Padres manager and a former Royal on May 21, 1995. Mahay had only five other hits in 28 at-bats in the majors.
"I didn't put it altogether when I was a hitter," Mahay said. "I had some good games and some bad games. It just wore me down."
Mahay, who held left-handed hitters to a 189 average last season, and Jimmy Gobble will serve as the Royals' left-handed setup for closer Joakim Soria.

No rain on team's parade in spring classic
BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com
The late American cartoonist Al Capp made famous the character Joe Btfsplk in his Li'l Abner comic strip. Btfsplk was known as the "world's worst jinx" and a dark rain cloud for one constantly hung over his head.
Until Sunday, the Kansas baseball team knew how it felt to be Joe Btsplk during last week's Florida Spring Classic in Bradenton, Fla.
The goal for Kansas last week was simple: play eight games in five days in the Florida sun and, more importantly, win those games. However, the Jayhawks were behind the eight ball before they even got to Florida.
"It's been a tough week," coach Ritch Price said. "We had all those flight delays and cancelations and ended up coming in three different groups on Tuesday."
Because of flight delays out of Dallas Tuesday, Kansas played its first game of the week Wednesday without 12 members of the team, and lost 11-9 against Illinois. On Thursday, rain in the Bradenton area postponed Kansas' doubleheader, but the games were eventually played, with the Jayhawks squeaking out two victories against Central Connecticut State and
Dartmouth.
The Big 10 again humbled Kansas on Friday as Ohio State pummeled Kansas 16-5 before Kansas won a low-scoring affair with UMBC, 4-1. On Saturday, more rain completely wiped out Kansas' doubleheader with Northwestern.
But with one swing of the bat Sunday, senior shortstop Erik Morrison chased off the rain cloud that had been hovering over the Jayhawks all week and drove in Kansas' go-ahead run in the top of the eighth. Entering the eighth,
Morrison was 0-for-4, but his clutch single gave Kansas a 12-11 lead over Northwestern (4-8) that - unlike the Jayhawks' previous leads in the

game - Kansas (15-9) held onto.
"He had opportunities earlier in the game where he had really bad at-bats, so it was nice to see him put a good swing on the ball, 3-2, and find a way to get a base hit to literally help us win a baseball game," Price said.
Morrison's eighth-inning RBI completed Kansas' comeback from five runs down early in the game.

Northwestern capitalized on erratic pitching by Kansas junior left-hander Nick Czyz to put the Jayhawks in an early 8-3 hole and jettison Czyz from the game in the second inning. In one-plus inning of work, Czyz allowed seven runs (six earned) on four hits and three walks, hitting one batter and throwing a wild pitch.
Junior catcher Buck Afenir didn't help Czyz's cause, committing a throwing error and allowing one batter to reach on catcher's interference while Czyz was on the mound.
Despite his shortcomings in the field, Afenir made up for it at the plate, batting cleanup for the first time all season. Afenir went 3-for-5 with two runs, five RBI and a home run. His two-run home run in the
top of the fourth gave Kansas a 9-8 lead, its first since jumping out to a 3-0 lead in first inning.
But even Afenir's numbers were eclipsed by Northwestern first baseman Jake Goebbert, who terrorized Kansas pitchers, going 4-for-5 with three runs and six RBI. His two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth regained the lead for Northwestern, 11-9.
"If we can get him to eliminate the absolutely awful at-bats he has during a course of a game, he can be a special player," Price said. "Unfortunately, it's like he has a really good at-bat, and then he has two bad at-bats, and then he has another good one, but that two-run homer he hit today was obviously huge."
Such ludicrous production on offense made it a rough day for pitchers.
Kansas' bullpen allowed four runs in four innings until sophomore right-hander Brett Bollman (2-1) stopped the bleeding with the score tied 11-11 in the sixth. The turning point in the game came when Bollman induced an inning-ending double play in the seventh with Goebbert at the plate.
With the ball finally rolling its way, Kansas took the lead for good in the eighth on Morrison's single. The single came off Northwestern

Scotland's Forsyth wins
Madeira Islands Open
SANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands — Scotland's Alastair Forsyth overcame a five-stroke deficit in regulation, then beat South Africa's Hennie Otto with birdie on the first hole of a playoff in the Madeira Islands Open.
Forsyth birdied the 18th hole for a 5-under 67 to match Otto (72) at 18-under 273. Forsyth birdied the par-4 18th again in the playoff for his first European tour victory since the 2002 Malaysian Open.
Kraft takes first PGA Tour victory in Puerto Rico RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Greg Kraft won the inaugural Puerto Rico Open for his first official PGA Tour victory, closing with a 2-under 70 for a one-stroke victory over Bo Van Pelt and Jerry Kelly. Kraft had a 14-under 274 total
on the Trump International Golf Club course, Kelly, at No. 63 the highest-ranked player in the field, shot a 70, and Van Pelt had a 72.
Woods' winning streak continues in weather-delayed tournament DORAL, Fla. —Tiger Woods' unbeaten streak lives another day. Barring a big comeback, it'll live for only one more day. Geoff Ogilvy got to 17 under
through nine holes and held a two-shot lead over Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh at the CA Championship, which won't finish until Monday because of a three-hour weather delay during the final round. Furyk was 15 under through 10, while Singh played nine holes. Retief Goosen and Graeme Storm were three shots back, and Steve Stricker made a huge charge, shooting a final-round 63 to finish at 13 under, four shots back of Ogilvy and tied
with Adam Scott.
with Adam Scott. Play was scheduled to resume Monday when most intrigue will be pointed toward Woods
who was five back with seven holes remaining. World Golf Championship events are some of Woods' favorites, given his 15 wins in 26 previous WGCs. But somehow, at Doral, he's looked mortal. He hasn't lost to anyone in six months, yet when play was halted, he was tied for ninth. Ogilvy's last win was the 2006
U. S. Open. Woods missed the cut that summer at Winged Foot and has been on an absolute tear ever since, winning 16 of his last 26 official PGA Tour events and carrying winning streaks of seven straight appearances worldwide and five tournaments on tour into at Doral, a track where he's prevailed each of the past three years. Unless he pulls off a stirring comeback, all those streaks will end.

There are two ways to look at it as Kansas heads to Detroit for the Midwest Regional. Detroit was the site of Kansas' victory against K-State in the 1988 regional final. But Detroit was also the site of Kansas' first-round loss to Bradley two years ago. We'll say it's time for the Detroit karma to work in the Hawks favor.

Overbearing zebras
All you can really ask for in March is a group of officials who'll let the players play.
Not a crew of zebras who blow their whistles at every instance of contact. Players are the show, not officials. The officials in Omaha called it close all weekend, and Kansas and UNLV combined for 46 fouls and 53 free throws. Let's let the athletes play in a game that doesn't stop every few seconds.

It's too bad the NCAA doesn't do more to give students a chance to experience March Madness in person. Sure, the NCAA rations some tickets for student use. But we're talking college students here. How about slashing the prices even more, so students can afford to get to the game without breaking their bank.

"No," he said. "Definitely not."

Rodrick Stewart couldn't even leave the hotel room on Saturday. He came down with tonsillitis, and Self said he wanted to keep him quarantined away from the rest of the team. Stewart also had to return to Lawrence on a separate bus.
Feeling for Frank
Self didn't rejoice at seeing one of his team's rivals, Kansas State, exit the tournament on Saturday. He talked to coach Frank Martin and players Michael Beasley, Client Stewart and Blake Young before the game.
"Frank did a great job with that team. They won a big game in the tournament. They should be glad of what they accomplished this year. Our fans hate K-State, and K-State fans hate KU. Coaches don't hate each other. At least we don't yet. I'm sure Frank wished us the best."

Collins'injury doesn't fazetournament performance
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
OMAHA, Neb. — Kansas coach Bill Self was the first to admit it: There was little coaching involved. He simply gave the ball to Sherron Collins.
A scrappy UNLV squad had Kansas holding on to a 44-37 lead with 13 minutes left in the second half. With seven seconds left on the shot clock, Collins dipped into the lane, slipped past one defender and laid the ball in with his left hand.
"That's not coaching, that's just giving the ball to a guy and getting out of his way," Self said.

Collins' patented drives were missing from Kansas March run last season. With Kansas' season

"I take pride in getting the ball and making something happen, and being a spark plug off the bench," Collins said.
Kansas needed that spark on Saturday. UNLV guards Wink Adams and Curtis Terry had controlled the tempo in the first half. Kansas went to the locker room having scored just 34 first-half points. Collins said Self told his guards they had to go make plays.
With Kansas leading 48-41 with 11 minutes left, Self called on his guards again. If UNLV was going to play a slow, grinding style, Self was going to speed things up. The Jayhawks went to a four-guard line-up featuring Collins, Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush.
"We went small, and we knew there was mismatch out there somewhere," Collins said. "It was

Collins found the mismatch and ignited a KU run by scoring six of Kansas' next 12 points. The 12-3 run extended the Kansas lead to 60-44.

PRIME plays
First Half
14:34 — Darrell Arthur steals the ball at mid court and hurries down the court for a flush, one of the few baskets the post players scored all day.
16:44 — UNLV gets whistled for its fifth foul. The referees set the tone early for a game that would be bogged down by fouls.
9:11 — Give credit to Wink Adams for continually going into the lane. He took a lot of hits but not on this play. Adams drives to the basket to square the game at 15.
6. 13 — Here's Russell Robinson's first big play. He drives to the hoop and sinks a layup while getting fouled. Robinson makes the free throw to give Kansas a 22-21 lead.
Second Half
10:55 — Kansas goes small. Bill Self makes his best decision of the day by using Robinson, Brandon Rush, Sherron Collins and Mario Chalmers together.
10:03 — Robinson hits a three-pointer to extend Kansas' lead to 53-42.
7:46 — So, that knee can't be hurting too bad. Collins uses a sick crossover on a play specifically called for him to take the ball to the rack and score.
0:46 — Chalmers makes a three pointer to give Kansas a 75-56 lead. He hit it after hitting the deck just a minute earlier and getting the wind knocked out of him.

College date reveals 'criminal' activity
MATT HIRSCHFELD
"Matt, we gotta go," my date said to me. Outside of the club, I had just learned that he saw someone, who, in his words, "fucked him over."
He told me that he had to take care of something. He got out his phone and dialed.
Then one of the most awkward moments of my life began.
"You got to do me a huge favor," he said into the phone. "You know what I'm talking about...You remember, that Doug guy?...No, don't call me afterward, just send me a picture...Oh shit, there he is...purple Honda, plate number...You got his car? Good, now follow it until he gets home..." and the conversation trailed off into my misery.
My date hung up the phone. "Did you just put a hit out on someone?," I asked, afraid I might be next. He just smirked. I started to freak out a lad, and asked him again. "No one's going to die, Matt," he answered. "But let's just say he won't be walking at graduation. Crutches, maybe, but definitely not walking."
After that night, I couldn't see the harm in being asexual. I would rather try to be attracted to no one than him.
I don't want to think that this is what casual dating had become. On our third date, he was comfortable enough to threaten another human's life in my presence. Granted, I don't really know that anything illegal or violent actually happened, but I didn't want to think what was in store if we actually made it a month.
I am not starved for attention or romance enough to feel the need to impress someone by conjuring a "hit" at the touch of a button, feeling polite and taking care of your mafia-esque business in your own free time is all I need to be impressed.
After contemplating the asexual thing for a good 15 minutes, I folded. As horrible as dating can be, the end result in some cases can be worth it.
Sure, there will be dates who are constantly late, call you by the wrong name and kiss like there's no tomorrow (and your tongue is the key to their survival).
There will also be the dates who smile every time you look at them, still open doors for you and notice things about you that you didn't even notice yourself.
At the end of my I-could-have just become-an-accessory-to-battery evening, my date said he would keep in touch. I smirked, just as he had earlier that night, knowing that it was probably the last time I would see him.
I put myself out there, resulting in the worst date at this point in my life, and that's all I can do until I find a relationship that doesn't involve me being a potential witness to a crime.

COMMENTARY
Students suffer under health insurance costs
MANDY EARLES
I'll be surprised if I make it to 45 years old. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who suffers from a thing called insurance. I get sick a lot and not having insurance is not an option for me.
It all started when I went into the "real" world and got a job. I was covered by BlueCross BlueShield within a month. It was nice until I found out that I needed to have surgery. I was pretty lucky because I was insured at the time, and they helped cover my surgery.
After I lost my job and decided to go back to school, the trouble began. Not at first, though, because I wasn't yet 25. But last December I turned 25, and realized I no longer qualified for my parents' insurance and had to find my own.
My dad and I decided to try BlueCross BlueShield again because they had a student-specific insurance plan. They reviewed my application and after seeing I'd had one minor surgery, which I had completely recovered from, I was charged an extra $150 from the original plan's cost.
When I had a full-time job, I could barely afford their rates. Now as a full-time student with a part-time job, there is no way I can afford it.
So we found a different provider, United Healthcare.
They had a student option as well, and it cost much less. The only qualification was you that needed to be a college student enrolled in at least nine hours, which I was.
So I applied, got accepted and paid for the coverage. Then I got sick.
I got sick with a viral infection in February. Then I suffered from a migraine, and I had to get a check-up for the previous migraine. But I also had a yearly visit to my dermatologist, which is
not covered under the plan.
United was alarmed by all this and sent me a five-page letter requesting a lot of information. Because the visit to the dermatologist was denied, it seemed they got suspicious and wanted me to verify I was indeed a student.
It made no sense to me that they'd accepted my application and my money, and then wanted verification that I was a student. So now I have to go to the University of Kansas registrar's office and get someone to sign it, verifying I'm a student and send it back to United.
United is trying to get information that could prove that I've had or still have other insurance just so they don't have to pay for my doctors' visits. They are trying to disprove that I'm a student so they don't have to cover me.
Isn't that backwards? Shouldn't health care companies want to give Americans better health and care? Shouldn't we feel safer now that we have insurance coverage? But instead, I fear the day I cross a street and get hit by a car. I fear
every time I turn on my blow dryer or the leak in our basement that threatens to collapse the entire house.
But worse of all, I fear some lengthy illness like cancer, any form of cancer. It seems the longer the disease and the more the treatments, the less the insurance companies want to cover you.
I know a lot of students face this and will continue to face this when they get out in the work force. I wish I could offer some solutions like a unified health care system for everyone, but that just doesn't seem feasible. The insurance companies have gained too much power to be brought back down to Earth. My only suggestion would be to fly across the world in order to get the specialized treatment or go to Canada and wait in line. Hey, it's better than having to sign your life away for one simple surgery.

》 GUEST COMMENTARY
Withdrawal from war not remedy for foreign policy
Incurring a precipitous or phased withdrawal is not a way to correct a foreign policy decision made five years ago. Leaving would not erase our presence in Iraq. We are connected with it now whether we like it or not. There are no take-backs in foreign policy.
No war is scripted. It is true; there existed a large amount of hubris with the initial expectations of post-invasion Iraq with regard to how easy it would be to redesign Iraq's civil polity. Policy makers did not appreciate the complexity of the task and what would be unleashed with the removal of Saddam Hussein. However, now, the ship has been righted with the current strategy and we are progressing in the right direction with the right policies. Abandoning the advances achieved would dishonor the Iraqis and Americans who have pledged
The proponents of withdrawal seem to forget that an evacuation from Iraq would, most likely, doom it to a lack of civil order and would only increase the negative opinion of U.S. foreign policy domestically and abroad. Anti-war activists exalt the anti-U.S. foreign opinion as an exemplar of the necessity for a withdrawal from Iraq. They fail to understand that a withdrawal would only engender even greater anti-U.S. opinion as a country which does not stand by the consequences of its actions and takes responsibility for them. It is necessary and right to stick to General Petreaus' current strategy and the advances made in the past year and to continue in its direction to ensure civil order for their future.
and given their lives to achieve a secure and stable future for Iraq.
in 2007, I witnessed many conflicting images of triumph and defeat. Most importantly, I witnessed many Iraqis pledging and risking everything they had, including their lives, working with Americans to improve their society and build a better future. It did not always go well and there were many hurdles, but progress was made, significant progress. Therein lays the ingredients for success; for, in liberal societies, the structure of society is reinforced through the daily actions of countless numbers of citizens. This is where success lays in Iraq and withdrawal would abandon the gains accomplished and dishonor those Americans and Iraqis.

Bracket dwindles to sixteen
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIDWEST REGIONAL GEORGETOWN 74, DAVIDSON 70
RALEIGH, N.C. — Stephen Curry scored 25 of his 30 points in the second half and Davidson staged a remarkable comeback behind its star sophomore to stun mighty Georgetown 74-70 on Sunday in the second round of the Midwest Regional.
Curry missed 10 of his first 12 shots but stepped up at crunch time for Davidson, which trailed by 16 points with 15 minutes left. He had the go-ahead basket, a key 3-pointer, and then hit five of six free throws in the final 23 seconds.
Jason Richards added 20 points for Davidson (28-6), which hadn't won an NCAA tournament game since 1969 before Friday. The Wildcats advanced to face Wisconsin on Friday in Detroit.
Jessie Sapp scored 14 points and Jonathan Wallace added 12 points for second-seeded Georgetown (28-6).
VILLANOVA 84, SIENA 72
TAMPA, Fla. — Scotte Reynolds scored 25 points and Corey
Stokes added 20 as the 12th-seeded Wildcats beat tiny Siena to reach the round of 16 for the
third time in four years.
Villanova (22-12), one of the last teams picked for the tournament field, advanced to play top-seeded Kansas (33-3) in the regional semifinals in Detroit.
Alex Franklin led Siena (23-11) with 18 points, but the Saints didn't get the kind of performances they needed from Kenny Hasbrouck, Edwin Ublies and Tay Fisher, who all played major roles in the team's 21-point upset of fourth-seeded Vanderbilt in the first round.
Hasbrouck had 17 points, but was only 5-of-15 from the field. Ubies missed his first seven shots and finished 3-of-11 for 12 points, while Fisher was held to five points.
SOUTH REGIONAL TEXAS 75, MIAMI 72
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark.
— A.J. Abrams calmly sank two free throws with 9.5 seconds
remaining, giving the second-seeded Longhorns just enough margin to hold off Miami.
Abrams gave Texas a 74-69 lead, but the Longhorns weren't quite safe yet. Miami's Raymond Hicks made a 3-pointer, and D.J. Augustin then shot an air ball on his first of two free throws with 1.8 seconds to play. Augustin made the second to preserve the win.
Abrams scored 26 points on six 3-pointers for the second consecutive game. Texas (30-6) advances to the regional semifinals to play third-seeded Stanford Friday.
lack McClinton scored 18 points for Miami (23-11).
EAST REGIONAL TENNESSEE 76,
BUTLER 71, OT
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Jaluan Smith hit four straight free throws in the final 13.6 seconds of overtime and the Volunteers survived a game they nearly turned into a rout.
The Vols (31-4) scored six straight points inside after the Bulldogs took their first lead in the final 2 minutes of OT, including benched guard Ramar.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Kansas State found a replacement for injured star Kimberly Dietz in Kelsey Nelson and ended the nation's longest winning streak.
The little-used reserve scored a career-high 20 points to help fifth-seeded Kansas State snap No.12 Chattanooga's 24-game streak with a 69-59 victory Sunday in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats set a tournament record by hitting all 21 free throw attempts.

Spring break victories give team a strong start

BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com
The University of Kansas softball team picked up five victories and two losses during spring break.
The Jayhawks started off spring break with the Kansas Invitational tournament in Lawrence. The team swept the weather-shortened tournament, scoring more than nine runs in each of the three games.
The team opened up the tournament with a run-rule victory over Buffalo, going up by eight runs in five innings. Junior pitcher Valerie George held Buffalo scoreless, and the KU offense scored nine runs. Junior third baseman Val Chapple was a perfect three-for-three with three home runs and six RBIs. Chapple's three home runs tied a school record for home runs in a single game. Freshman right fielder Liz Kocon had two hits, three RBIs and added another home run for the Jayhawks, and junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley was two-for-two with three runs scored.
The Jayhawks defeated the Bulls 12-5 in the second game of the tournament. McCaulley scored three more runs and had one RBI on two hits, while Chapple had another stellar performance with three hits, including one home run, four RBIs and three runs scored. Senior left fielder Betsy Wilson hit the second triple of the season for the KU softball team and had two RBIs in the game and freshman catcher Brittany Hile had two hits and three RBIs.
The team closed out the Kansas Invitational tournament with another run-rule victory, this time against Louisiana Tech. Chapple played well again with two runs scored and three RBIs on one hit. McCauley scored four more runs and sophomore first baseman Amanda Jobe had two hits and scored three runs. Ally Stanton had a great game as well with two hits and three RBIs.
Coach Tracy Bunge was happy to the see the offensive output in the tournament.
"Offensively, it's nice to see us come alive and take a little pressure off the pitching staff," Bunge said.
Chapple was rewarded for her performance in the tournament by earning Big 12 and national player of the week honors. Chapple finished the weekend with seven hits, four home runs and 13 RBIs. Bunge was impressed with her accomplishments.
"Obviously, national player of the week is a very special honor," Bunge said.
Kansas hosted a double-header against Bradley last Tuesday and kept the winning streak going. George pitched the first game and threw her fourth shut-out of the season, striking out eight batters while giving up only one walk. Sophomore second baseman Sara Ramirez drove in the only runs of the game with a two-run home run to help KU earn the victory.
The Jayhawks swept the doubleheader with a 3-2 victory in the second game. Junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto had one hit, a double and two RBIs to help the Jayhawks, and Chapple continued to play well with two hits and a run scored in the game.
Bunge said she was happy with the execution of the small things in the games throughout the week.
"This is a very good team in all three phases of the game right now," Bunge said.
The Jayhawks lost the momentum of their five-game win streak in the conference opener against Oklahoma. The Jayhawks' only games outside of Lawrence over the break were forgettable. The team suffered a walk-off loss in the first game against Oklahoma. McCaulley was one-for-three with one RBI, and Hile drove in the only other KU run, but it wasn't enough.
Oklahoma senior right fielder Susan Ogden drove in the gamewinning run in the bottom of the seventh inning. The KU offense put up only four hits in the shutout loss to the Sooners on Saturday. The Sooners scored eight runs, benefitting from two home runs by freshman left fielder Haley Anderson and senior shortstop Savannah Long.
Bunge stressed the importance of the conference season and how tough the Big 12 conference was going to be.
"All other nine teams in the conference that play softball all are playing well right now." Bunge said.

Blame the Wisconsin buzz saw that cut down K-State 72-55 in Omaha, Neb., on Saturday.
The Badgers were too disciplined, too fundamentally sound and too experienced to lose to a youthful Wildcat squad that had earned its matchup with Wisconsin by upsetting Southern California on Thursday. The victory against USC was K-State's first NCAA tournament victory since 1998.
Wisconsin's deliberate, grindit-out style slowed down K-State in the second half, holding the Wildcats to 22 points after the break.
"If you're down 10 to them, it's the equal of being down 25 to somebody else," K-State coach Frank Martin said.
Kansas State needed a brilliant effort from freshman Michael Beasley to have a chance, and the Wildcats got an average effort — at least by Beasley standards — from its freshman star.
OMAHA, Neb. — Kansans can stop dreaming about that potential Elite Eight matchup between Kansas and Kansas State.

Beasley finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds, but the All-American candidate scored just six points in the second half. Wisconsin's front court trio of senior Brian Butch, senior Greg Stiemsa, and junior Joe Krabbenhoft held Beasley to 8-of-19 shooting from the field.

Kansas State freshman forward Michael Beasley walks off the court after his team's 72-55 loss to Wisconsin in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Saturday afternoon at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb. The 11th-seeded Wildcats finished the season with an overall record of 21-12.

"They was double teaming, triple teaming every time I touched the ball." Beasley said.
With Wisconsin holding a double-digit lead in the second half, the focus shifted to whether the fans at the Qwest Center were watching Beasley play his final game for K-State.
Beasley deflected questions
"As of right now, I'm a Kansas State Wildcat. I haven't thought into what I'm going to do next year."
about his upcoming decision to declare for the NBA draft.
Beasley said he wouldn't think about the NBA future for a couple of weeks.
Senior guard Michael Flowers added 15.
The rest of the Wildcats weren't much help. K-State was 0-of-13 from the three-point line.
While K-State's offense sputtered, Wisconsin received a lift from sophomore Trevon Hughes. The Badger guard connected on four three-pointers and finished with 25 points.
For a few minutes, it looked like the Wildcats might have another upset in them. K-State played even with Wisconsin for nearly eight minutes and took a 10-8 lead on a Michael Beasley layup.
"We expected them to be physical," Walker said. "They just forced us into taking contested shots. That's how they wanted it."
But a jumper by Hughes and three-pointer by sophomore Jason Bohannon gave the Badgers a 13-10 lead — a lead they would never relinquish.
Beasley's one-handed dunk with 1:05 left in the first half pulled K-State to within three and made the score 36-33, but Wisconsin's Flowers made a three-pointer 30 seconds later to stretch the Badgers lead to 39-33 at halftime.
K-State freshman Bill Walker, who'll also have a decision to make regarding the NBA draft, finished with 18 points.

TIPOFF
KANSAS HOPESTO ACE EVANSVILLE
Jayhawks could beat Purple Aces if players step up their game
QUESTION MARK
AT AGLANCE
It's been 12 days since Kansas last played a game, and that could lead to a sluggish start when it tips off with Evansville tonight at 7. The Purple Aces needed a large comeback to squeak out of the first round, and they'll have trouble pulling out a close win like that on the road. Both teams are much better at home, which gives Kansas an advantage before the game even begins. The Jayhawks also have a big size advantage in the paint, so center Krysten Boogaard and forward Taylor Mcintosh each need to avoid foul trouble and stay on the court.
Which Taylor Mcintosh will show up?
KANSAS VS. EVANSVILLE 7 p.m., Monday, Lawrence.
In the first round of the Big 12 Tournament, Mcntosh led the team with 11 rebounds and 13 points of 5-of-5 shooting. In round two, she mustered just two points and five rebounds in only 22 minutes. Mcntosh's play has been back and forth like this throughout the entire season, but now, more than ever, she must dig deep and perform to the best of her ability. The team feeds off of her energy when she's playing well, and without her impact, the Jayhawks are often flat.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
In its first round game against Southeast Missouri, Evansville trailed by 17 at half-time and 19 with 17:28 to play. Still, the Purple Aces fought back and hung on for a 60-58 victory, their first postseason victory in school history. Now they come to Lawrence on an emotional high looking to hammer out another victory, but the Purple Aces have struggled on the road this season. For the year, Evansville is 13-1 at home and 7-9 on the road. Having played in the first round could be an advantage for coach Tricia Cullop's team as Kansas' last game was 12 days ago.
QUESTION MARK
Will center Shannon Novosel and guard Courtney Felke combine to shoot more than 30 percent?
Novosel and Felke, two of the team's top three scorers, combined to shoot 2-for-15 from the field against Southeast Missouri. That comes out to a meager 13.3 percent. The entire team struggled in the first half, shooting just 23.1 percent, but several of the role players stepped up to pick up the slack and get Evansville out with a win. That won't be as easy on the road and it's important for the Purple Aces to get production out of their top players.

Platforms address fee spending
LINCOLN
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawleykansan.com
Student coalition Students of Liberty released its platforms last week for the upcoming Student Senate election. Adam Wood, Lawrence junior and presidential candidate, said he was still emphasizing saving money in his platforms, but developed more to cover other areas of campus.
Wood said he did not speak with administration about any of his platforms before announcing them and that he planned on talking to them once he was elected.
REEVALUATING STUDENT
Jean Menager, Auburn, Alabama, sophomore, leaves class Thursday on his moped. Students of Liberty propose that mopeds be exempt from paying a parking pass fee.

Wood said financial spending was his first concern if elected. He said he wanted to go through Senate's budget and one

Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said student fees were necessary to fund many activities at the University. She said the University was already fiscally conservative.
Roney said students voted on fees to support certain services and without the money from these fees the services would have to be cut.
Wood said he didn't want to cut any programs but instead wanted to find surpluses from some fees and move the extra money elsewhere.
NO SPECIAL INTEREST CONTROL OF STUDENT CENATE

Wood said he based this platform off of

compromises the integrity of Senate. It said that the Athletics Department flew the student body president and vice president to an away football game and also gave them box access at home football games.
"I don't really blame them for something everyone does." Wood said.
Wood said he wanted to classify mopeds as bikes so they would not require parking permits. He said this would help students save money and also encourage them to use
Wood said all members of his coalition would sign a pledge to not take any gifts from groups that Senate might sponsor.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said giving the student body president and vice president the chance to go to an away football game and also box access was something the department had done each year since Lew Perkins became the KU athletics director.
RECLASSIFICATION OF MOPEDS
Marchiony said it was an inexpensive way to do something for students. He said it let them see what it was like to be a student athlete and also put them around alumni, lawmakers and regents.
"If I were in Student Senate, I would be upset at the suggestion that anybody at the University is controlling what they say, how they think or how they vote." Marchiony said.
Wood said that he wasn't accusing senators of being biased, but said that by taking free tickets, they could appear biased to voters.
fuel-efficient mopeds.
Wood said he wanted to work on environmental problems on a local level to prevent state, national or international regulations. He said he wanted to keep outside influences like the government out of local affairs.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said any change in moped classification would have to go through the Parking Commission, which is a group of students, faculty and staff who vote on regulation changes. Hultine said the Parking Department sold 118 moped

already had a parking pass.
NOT FUNDING GROUPS THAT AREN'T OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS
Wood said KU students pay $80 per year to the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee, which he said was not allowed in Student Senate rules. He said Senate only funded groups open to all students, which he said didn't include women's sports.
WILLOWDALE
Wood said students also should not give fees to the Athletics Department, which he said made $100 million in annual revenue.
"I can't try out for them," Wood said of women's sports. "I don't think students

numbers were exaggerated. The Athletics Department had $64 million in revenue and $50 million in expenses in the 2007 fiscal year. It had $13.8 million in net revenue, which went to paying for the Student Recreation Fitness Center expansion and
Marchiony said that if Senate cut that student fee, the department would have a difficult time funding those sports the way the department thinks they should be funded, but no sports would be cut. He said cutting that fund, which amounts to almost $2 million per year, would cut into many aspects of women's and non-revenue sports, including scholarships, transportation costs and facilities.
transferring a building to the University
Wood said he might try to remove the Women's and Non-Revenue Fee through an open vote to all students if elected.
PROHIBIT TESTS AND PROJECTS AFTER BREAKS
Wood said that he has had projects and papers due the week after spring break, which helped him come up with this platform. He said students needed rest, especially the ones with large workloads. Wood said this goal
to be a collaborative effort with professors.
"A lot of professors have tenure so they'll do what they want," Wood said.
Roney said any change in testing policy would have to go through University
governance, where faculty, staff and students vote on University policies.
Roney said she thought students should discuss this platform more because it could limit them at other times in the semester. She said students could

be more stressed from this policy because their tests would have to be scheduled closer together.
Wood said he would research other schools that don't allow tests after breaks and said he thought students would have better GPAs and be happier because of the policy.
GIVING MORE PRIVACY
TO STUDENT HOUSING
INHABITANTS
Wood said he wanted to negotiate with Student Housing to give students more protection against unreasonable searches.
Wood said he lived in both Hashinger and Oliver halls and he wanted to treat dorms more like apartments by not making students leave during break and not making them unplug everything when they leave.
Wood said hed heard stories from people where Resident Assistants had blocked open a door with their foot when they wanted to enter a dorm room.
Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing, said the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities prohibited anyone from entering a student's room. She said the only exceptions were when students went on break and were given notice someone would enter their room, when the authorities gave 24-hour notice they would be entering the rooms or when the student was in imminent danger.
Wood said that when he lived in the dorms, those rules were sometimes broken. He wanted to find a way to enforce them better.
Wood also said another goal was to make it easier for students to stay in housing during spring break. He said a lot of people didn't have the chance to go home for breaks.
Robertson said not many students applied for housing during breaks. She said that during winter break, more than half the students who stayed only stayed for a day because of travel problems or because of a sporting event.
This year, staying in McCollum Hall during spring break cost $118. Robertson said this was a rate of $14.75 per night, which is what dorm rooms cost during the school year.

BRIEFLY Priest's Chihuahua joins him for daily worship
BRIEFLY
NAHA, Japan — At a Zen Buddhist temple in southern Japan, even the dog prays.
Mimicking his master, priest Joei Yoshikuni, a 1/12-year-old black-and-white Chihuahua named Conan joins in the daily prayers at Naha's Shuri Kannono道场, sitting up on his hind legs and putting his front paws together before the altar.
It took him only a few days to learn the motions, and now he is the talk of the town.
"Word has spread, and we are getting a lot more tourists," Yoshikuni said Monday.
Yoshikuni said Conan generally goes through his prayer routine at the temple in the capital of Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture (state) without prompting before his morning and evening meals.
"I think he saw me doing it all the time and got the idea to do it, too," Yoshikuni said.
The priest is now trying to teach him how to meditate.
Well. sort of.

"Basically, I am just trying to get him to sit still while I meditate," he explained. "It's not like we can make him cross his legs."
Man blames speeding on milk and cookies
A 290-pound male elephant calf standing next to its mother, 24-year-old Felix, Thursday, the Maryland Zoo, in Baltimore. Felix delivered the calf in the Elephant Barn on Wednesday after a relatively short labor. The delivery was the first elephant birth in the zoos' 132-year history.
SALISBURY, Conn. — Police say a man's excuse for speeding through a small Connecticut town takes the cake — or, at least, the cookie.
A state trooper who stopped the 1993 BMW last fall says its driver, 28-year-old Justin Vonkummer of Millerton, N.Y., blamed his driving problems on an errant Oreo.
Special Delivery
Vonkummer told the trooper that an Oreo had just slipped from his fingers as he dunked it in a cup of milk, and that he was trying to fish it out when he lost control of his car.
Prosecutors learned in court this week that Vonkummer had been charged with speeding and driving under a suspended license — not driving under the influence, as a clerk had mistakenly noted in the court records.

Vonkummer's attorney declined to comment. The case is pending.

Alaskan finds 21-year-old message in a bottle
SEATTLE — Merle Brandell and his black lab Slapsey were beachcombing along the Bering Sea when he spied a plastic bottle among the Japanese glass floats he often finds along the shore of his tiny Alaskan fishing village.
He walked over and saw an envelope tucked inside. After slicing the bottle open, Brandell found a message from an elementary school student in a suburb of Seattle. The fact that the letter traveled 1,735 miles without any help from the U.S. postal service is unusual, but that's only the beginning of the mystery.
About 21 years passed between the time Emily Hwaung put the message in a soda bottle and Merle Brandell picked it up on the beach.
"This letter is part of our science project to study oceans and learn about people in distant lands," she wrote. "Please send the date and location of the bottle with your address. I will send you my picture and tell you when and where the bottle was placed in the ocean. Your friend, Emily Hwaung."
residents of Nelson Lagoon were intrigued by his find. Beachcombing is a popular activity in remote western Alaska. Among the recent discoveries was a sail boat that washed onto shore last October.
Brandell, 34, a bear hunting guide and manager of a water plant, said many of the 70-plus
"it's kind of a sport. It keeps us occupied. It's one of the pleasures of living here," Brandell said of the village reachable only by plane or boat that is too small to have its own store.
Brandell tried to track down the sender:a fourth grader from the North City School in the Shoreline School District.
No one answered when Brandell called the school in December so he sent the school district a handwritten letter, which eventually ended up on
the desk of district spokesman Craig Degginger.
After some searching, Deginger discovered Emily Hwauung is now a 30-year-old accountant named Emily Shih and lives in Seattle. She was in the fourth grade during the 1986-87 school year at a school building that closed more than a year ago.
Shih said she was flabbergasted by the news and immediately shared it with her Kirkland co-workers.
"I don't remember the project. It was so long ago. Elementary school is kind of foggy." Shih admitted during a recent interview. "I've been getting a kick out of it for a month now."

Student reports rape at Lorimar Town Home

On Saturday an unidentified man entered a Lorimar Town Home and reportedly raped a 20-year-old female KU student.
According to a Lawrence Police Department media release, the sexual assault occurred about
occurred about
3:30 a.m. and the suspect's whereabouts were unknown.
The attack was the fifth in what the media release said could be a series, and it was the second rape that occurred
in Lawrence this month. The police department is encouraging women to take preventative measures including planning escape routes from their residences in case of an attack.
The media release said that in each of the cases that could be a part of a series, the suspect was described as a slim, white man between the ages of 25 and 40 and between 5-feet-9 inches and 6 feet tall. He was also said to be armed with a weapon and entered the apartments between 3 and 4 a.m.
The suspect was described as a slim, white man between the ages of 25 and 40 and between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall.
On June 13, 2006 an unidentified man entered a residence in central Lawrence and sexually assaulted a 21-year-old woman. On December 29, 2004 an unidentified man entered a north central
residence and raped two females, ages 19 and 20. On July 14, 2004 an unidentified male entered a residence in southwest Lawrence and raped a KU student.
Kim Murphree, of the Lawrence Police Department, said the department could not release any further information regarding the motives or evidence involved in
the attacks. She said Kansas law prohibits the release of any information that might identify the victim of a sexual crime. Lorimar Town Homes refused to comment on the incident.
who is a resident of Lorimar Town Homes, 3801 Clinton Parkway, and did not want to be named because of the circumstances of the crime, said she stayed at a friend's house the night the rape occurred. She said that when she returned home the next day, she was still questioned by the police. She said the police wanted to make sure residents did not know the rapist.

footprints near her back door, which she said was in major need of repair.
"It was like CSI, but too real," the student said. "Like something you see on TV but you don't want to happen to you."
"I think that was the most eerie feeling - to come home that night still not knowing what happened."
Lauren Punch, Eden Prairie, Minn., sophomore, said she was nervous about a rapist being on the loose because she knew

The student also said she thought the FBI was involved. She said police department vehicles and a white trailer were parked at the complexes from the time the crime was reported until she and her roommates left at 9:30 p.m. the following evening. She said that when they returned, the police were gone and everything was cleaned up like nothing had happened.
"I think that was the most eerie feeling - to come home that night still not knowing what happened," she said.
She said that she felt like rape was becoming a problem in Lawrence and that it needed more awareness because the suspect has not been caught and was armed.
Randi Jordt, a Leavenworth junior who lives in southwest Lawrence, said it worried her that the police had not caught the rap-

"Like my house. Six girls Punch said.
Kelly Lacome, Bloomington, Minn., sophomore, said she was not worried about being raped because she lived at Alpha Chi Omega, which houses more than 80 girls.
However, Lacombe said she thought it was scary that a rapist was on the loose in Lawrence because it was not a community she would consider dangerous.
The Lorimar Town House resident said her neighborhood seemed very safe beforehand. She said there was a large quantity of lights in the neighborhood. She said she had the landlord fix her door since the rape. She also said that she has started carrying pepper spray and that she was now terrified to be at home alone.

Library offers a unique collection
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE
csommerville@kansan.com
The University has one of the world's largest collections of Irish literature in the special collections department at Spencer Research Library.
Even though St. Patrick's Day is over, students can continue to celebrate Irish heritage — with an academic flavor.
but the collection contains several lesser-known authors, which Smith said were still "incredibly important to those who study Irish literature."
One of the largest collections
The special collections department was started in 1953 to obtain other collections. The James Joyce collection was one of the first acquired.
The collection includes more than 250,000 books, including a large number of William Butler Yeats works and more than 900 books and articles by James Joyce.
The University has one of the world's largest collections of Irish literature in the special collections department at Spencer Research library.
The Joyce collection features first editions of all but five of his works. It also has the first edition and the first issue of Joyce's famous novel "Ulysses" signed by Joyce himself.
The Yeats collection features first editions of all except one of his works, "Mosada," which is extremely scarce.
Yeats and Joyce were the two most well-known authors featured.
Rebecca Smith, public relations director for KU Libraries, said that the collection was so large because of many gifts and collections have been added.
the department acquired was in 1959, and was accompanied by a note from Watson Library that said "11 tons of books." The collection came from a book
collector named P.S. O'Hegarty. He was also a historian and author who lived during the 19th and early 20th century.
O'Hegarty's collection contained Yeats' books, poems, historical pamphlets and journals.
The collection even features a signed copy of the Irish declaration of independence.
The Spencer Research Library is at 1450 Poplar Lane, behind Strong Hall.

DETROIT — Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was charged with perjury and other offenses Monday — and got a stern lecture about the importance of telling the truth
the importance of seeing the truth after a trove of raunchy text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with his chief aide.
The 37-year-old "Hip-Hop Mayor" who brought youth and vitality to the job in this struggling city of 900,000 could get up to 15 years in prison for perjury alone and would be automatically expelled from office if convicted.
Ignoring mounting demands that he step down, Kilpatrick said: "I look forward to complete exoneration once all the facts have been brought forth. I will remain focused on moving this city forward."
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy brought charges of perjury, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and misconduct against the popular but polarizing mayor. In announcing the charges, she delivered something of a civics lesson on the importance of telling the truth under oath.
"Some have suggested that the issues in this case are personal or private," said Worthy, a Democrat like the mayor. "Our investigation has clearly shown that public dollars were used, people's lives were
ruined, the justice system severely mocked and the public trust trampled on."
She added: "This case is about as far from being a private matter as one can get."
Kilpatrick's former chief of staff, Christine Beatty, 37, who also denied under oath that she and Kilpatrick had an intimate relationship in 2002 and 2003, was charged with many of the same offenses. A call to her lawyer was not immediately returned.
Both the mayor and Beatty turned themselves in for booking in the afternoon. No trial date has been set.
The mayor's lawyer, Dan Webb, said forcing Kilpatrick to resign now would punish him before he has had his day in court.
The charges could be the beginning of the end of Kilpatrick's six-year career as the youngest man elected mayor of Detroit, one of America's largest and most troubled cities, with deeply entrenched poverty made worse by the downturn in the auto industry.
Worthy began her investigation in late January, the day after the Detroit Free Press published excerpts from 14,000 text messages that were sent or received in 2002-03 from Beatty's city-issued pager.
The messages called into question testimony Kilpatrick and Beatty gave last August in a lawsuit
filed by two police officers who said they were fired for investigating claims that the mayor used his security unit to cover up extramarital affairs.
In court, Kilpatrick and Beatty strongly denied having an intimate relationship. But the text messages reveal that they carried on a flirty, sometimes sexually explicit dialogue about where to meet and how to conceal their trysts.
Kilpatrick is married with three children. Beatty was married at the time and has two children.
The city eventually agreed to pay $8.4 million to the two officers and a third former officer. Some of the charges brought against the mayor on Monday accuse him of agreeing to the settlement in an effort to keep the text messages from becoming public.
"I'm mildly in love with you," Kilpatrick wrote on Oct. 3, 2002.
On Oct. 16, 2002, Kilpatrick wrote: "I've been dreaming all day about having you all to myself for 3 days. Relaxing, laughing, talking, sleeping and making love."
"I hope you feel that way for a long time," Beatty replied. "In case you haven't noticed, I am madly in love with you, too!"
All of the charges against the mayor are felonies. Under the city charter, a felony conviction would mean the mayor's immediate expulsion.

Council President Ken Cockrel Jr., who was among those who called on Kilpatrick to resign last week, would succeed him if he left office.
"If a witness lies, innocent people can go to jail or prison, people can literally get away with murder, civil litigants who deserve money may not get it or may get money they don't deserve," she said. "And lying cannot be tolerated even if a judge or jury sees through it."
The City Council asked Kilpatrick to step down last week, but he refused, and the council has no authority to remove him in the meantime.
In announcing the charges, Worthy delivered a 14-minute lecture on the oath that all the witnesses take, and how the criminal justice system relies on people to tell the truth. "Even children understand that lying is wrong," she said.

OLYMPICS
Protestors put damper on torch-lighting ceremony
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece — Even before the Olympic flame was lit Monday, a protester of China's human rights policies disrupted the solemn ceremony, shadowing the prospect of demonstrations throughout the 85,000-mile torch-relay route right up to the Beijing Games themselves.
ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece
Forecasts of clouds and rain had been considered the main threat to the pomp-filled torch-lighting. But in the end, while the sun sparked the flame to life, it was the protesters who turned the joyful bow to the Olympics' roots into a political embarrassment for China over its crackdown in Tibet and other
rights issues.
Three men advocating press freedom evaded massive security and ran onto the field at the ceremony in Ancient Olympia before they were seized by police. Minutes later, a Tibetan woman covered in fake blood briefly blocked the path of the torch relay.
The incidents came after International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge told The Associated Press in an interview that he was engaged in "silent diplomacy" with the Chinese but wouldn't intervene in politics to try to change their policies.
"We are discussing on a daily basis with Chinese authorities, including discussing these issues,
while strictly respecting the sovereignty of China in its affairs," Rouge said.
Protests are bound to follow the torch throughout its 136-day route across five continents and 20 countries. China pledged strict security measures to ensure its segment of the relay won't be marred by protests.
since protests of its rule turned violent March 14 in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, sparking waves of unrest in surrounding provinces. China reported a death toll of 22 from the violence, but Tibet's exiled government says 80 Tibetans were killed. Nineteen died in subsequent violence in Gansu province, it said.
Tibetan activists have already said they plan to demonstrate elsewhere on the route.
"Later we will do protests in London and Paris," said Tenzin Dorjee, a member of Students for a Free Tibet who protested in Ancient Olympia.
A rising chorus of international criticism and floated calls for a boycott have unnerved the Chinese leadership, which has turned up efforts to put its own version of the unrest before the international public.
China's communist leadership has faced a public relations disaster
China has blamed the riots on followers of the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader.

NEWS BRIEF Harry Potter series author admits suicidal thoughts
Karen Ohmes
LONDON — J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, said she contemplated suicide as she suffered from depression before her rise to success, according to an interview with student Journalist Adeel Amini at Edinburgh University.
The author said she had suicidal thoughts in her mid-20s, when she was a single mother and struggling
to establish a literary career.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
"Mid-20s life circumstances were poor and I really plummeted," Rowling said.

Make sure your spokesperson knows exactly the message you want to convey. Don't leave this to chance; make your instructions crystal clear.

It's not a good idea to fund a friend's fanciful proposal. Let somebody who can afford to lose more than you can do that. It's not a good time to invest.
according to Amini.

OPINION
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
7A
TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2008
GUEST COLUMN
University silent about $18M from Defense Dept.
Editor's note: This is an open letter to Chancellor Robert Hemenway submitted by a member of KU Watch.
Chancellor Hemenway,
As passionate and committed KU students, we are inspired that this university commits to preparing us to be more socially aware in a complex world. We, however, are concerned to hear of KU's lack of transparency in crucial issues. For example, there is direct investment in activities actively supporting the military's now five-yearlong presence in Iraq.
From the limited information we've been able to obtain, it seems KU's support comes in two main forms: sponsored research and direct partnerships. KU researchers expended over $18 million of Department of Defense funding between fiscal years 2002-2006. In September, KU announced a joint partnership with Fort Leavenworth.
We are deeply concerned that KU is helping develop military technology and that KU classrooms will be utilized to train United States Army officers in strategies used to kill in the Middle East.
During the Vietnam War, it was students who demanded that their universities, government and military be more transparent about their decisions. Today, amidst what we and most feel is another unjust war, we know real change can only come from asking the most difficult questions. If those being asked the questions are willing to answer transparently, real change can be achieved.
Students can learn more about KU's institutional ties by visiting kuwatch.org or contacting info@kuwatch.org about how to get involved.
Sincerely, Greg Hill On behalf of KU Watch, a student organization promoting institutional transparency

Musicians distract voters
JAKE LERMAN
I have this hideous image in my head of a shirtless Dick Cheney on stage shedding a Fender Stratcaster as he prepares to take a stage dive. Luckily, no one will have to endure the weight and nightmares an event like this would provoke.
With primary numbers being reported like baseball scores, people are losing sight of what matters and are treating the elections like a red carpet event.
Artists are stepping out from behind the stage to directly endorse presidential candidates. Although music has taken to playing watchdog for our government, I fear the line between provocative art and political promotion is blurring.
Musicians are invaluable to politics, but their endorsements doesn't say a word about why an artist likes a candidate.
The protest song has been a part of American music since the '60s when Bob Dylan forged his career writing songs such as "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "Hurricane" that criticized the faults and follies of American life and government, but I've never heard of him coming out on stage wearing an LBJ button or shouting campaign slogans.
Musicians play a vital role in the political process because they serve a group of people that may be desensitized to the political jargon that gets regurgitated in every speech, debate and Fox news report that graces our television sets nightly.
The ability to lead the public is not something to be taken lightly, especially when the group they are "preaching" to have the power to sway the election.
When artists like Wayne Cote of The Flaming Lips pose next to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wearing a booster button and rocking two thumbs
up, how will diehard Lips fans react? Could some uninformed fan out there go to the polls and vote Obama simply because his idol "told him to"?
Considering the power that celebrities have in this country, this is not far fetched.
At an Arcade Fire show, front man Win Butler spoke directly to his fans and endorsed Obama.
To the growing number of young people who have become disillusioned with politics, these actions may weigh heavy on their choice for president.
This month's Rolling Stone features Obama in a pose that's fit for a deity next to the glowing caption, "A New Hope."
Such a powerful image on a magazine as widely read and circulated as Rolling Stone can have a widespread influence.
That could be dangerous, especially when so many people won't know why Rolling Stone is supporting Obama. Some may not even bother to read the words inside to actually learn something about the man they want running their country the next four years.
Music has always had a certain quality that can cut through the blur of polysyllabic words spilling from the mouths of politicians and transforming them into that ever-eluding truth that we are all searching for.
Whether it be through the angst-ridden revolutionary tunes of Rage Against the Machine or the winding poetic ramblings of Mr. Zimmerman, musicians make us think about the issues and how we are going to solve them.
Just like crafting an opinion from the cover of a magazine, an endorsement only tells us what we should like, not why.
An artist hopping on a campaign bandwagon (no pun intended) will do nothing but distract fans from these issues instead of turning their minds.
It skews the issues and makes us forget that when a candidate is in office, it's his or her policies that matter, not how many tour bushes boast their bumper stickers.

COMMENTARY
Scholarships neglect ordinary college applicants
JENNY HARTZ
Being amazing isn't enough to earn scholarships.
Scholarships discriminate backwards. They assume because I'm white and middle-class, I've had it easy my whole life and should automatically be able to pull thousands out of my pocket. They assume I must be some ghetto-fabulous sugar mama from the rich bitch side of da hood.
Unless you are a three-time-hyphenated ethnic orphan living in a cardboard box, it seems that you
have the same chance of getting a scholarship as you do finding a parking spot at the University.
Both nationally and locally, any high school senior can find financial aid. You get scholarships like the Underwater Basket Weaver of the Year Scholarship, which you were rewarded because you were highly qualified. And by highly qualified I mean the only underwater basket weaver in your school.
After high school, scholarships, like leprechauns or talented people on "American Idol," are rare. Most scholarships apply only for your first year in college.
Wait, that's a lie. You might actually find a parking spot, even if it's at 3 a.m. and on West Campus.
That's dandy, but what about that sophomore, junior, senior and victory lap year?
cific grades, mostly freshmen and juniors. What if you're a junior by year but have enough credit hours to be a senior? Can you still apply? How can you argue with your ARTS form (besides beating it upside the head with a hammer, that is, if you can generate the bloody thing online in less than five days)?
Once you figure out what grade you're in, you have to figure out your major (as of this week). Most scholarships are limited to certain fields. Or people in certain fields of specific circumstances, like women in engineering, who are considered minorities.
Many scholarships are for spe-
Once you get through these qualifications, it leaves you eligible for two or three scholarships. But you compete against all the other generic students on campus for these scholarships or against the whole country for national scholarships.
The chance you will get any of these scholarships is so small you begin to wonder if it's worth it to print your ARTS form, write a personal statement, write a statement of need, get an official transcript, find 50 references and fill out a form of other information like your full name (I. M. Poor).
What if you are a hard-working, middle-class student who, regardless of what your FAFSA form thinks, cannot chalk up $20,000 a year for college? How do you get across that you are just as worthy of scholarships as minorities?
For example, I'm a hard-working student - I drink Mountain Dew and eat my weight in Asian food daily.
leadership, and you volunteer. Your GPA is higher than your blood-alcohol level (depending on the day of the week).
Also, you're passionate about your major. You want to succeed. You want an education to help you maintain your dream job. Scholarships help make this possible.
Most of you are the same way. You work hard both at your studies and your jobs. You have positions of
We're all in the same boat, whether that boat is the Titanic or a dinghy, and we're all heading in the same direction. We all need fuel to get there. Who is to decide who is more worthy of financial aid?
I just realized I used the word "bloody" in this column. I wonder if I'm qualified for more scholarships because I'm now part British.

Activists question intentions of government funding
KU Watch encourages increased student awareness, public discussions of Department of Defense allocations
BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com
Students will demonstrate on the Stauffer-Flint lawn today to increase awareness about University research funded by the Department of Defense.
In an open letter to Chancellor Robert Hemenway, KU Watch, a campus activism organization, expressed its appreciation for quality research at the University, but said it was deeply concerned the University was helping develop military technology and using KU classes to train United States Army officers in strategies used to kill in the Middle East.
KU Watch will also have a teachin at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries tonight to educate students on military research dollars at the University and how that research will benefit military
interests.
Greg Hill, Overland Park junior and KU Watch activist, said the University made bids on military funded projects to gain prestige without exposing the ethical and structural implications.
"We don't feel these projects are necessarily bad in and of themselves, just that they are symptomatic of broader trends in corporate and military influence," Hill said.
The Department of Defense awarded more than $2.4 million to the University, but actual expenditures were closer to $4 million, said Kevin Boatright, director of communications for the Office of Research and Graduate Studies.
Boatright said that number in comparison to funding from other agencies was very minimal.
According to Hill, the Department of Defense has awarded the University of Kansas more
than $500,000 to fund its participation of the Bowman Expeditions in particular. Fully funded, the Bowman Expedition would send a geography professor and graduate students to every country in the world to gather unclassified data for the Geographic Information
System database. Their first expedition is called Mexico Indigena and explores cooperatingindigenous communities in Mexico in conjunction with the University of San Luis Potosi.

"We invaded Iraq because of geographic ignorance," Dobson said. "We have had foreign policy blunder after foreign policy blunder because we don't understand foreigners."
Hill said that while the intentions were good, those involved should consider unintended consequences that could result in h u m a n rights abuses.
"Students need to be more politically aware of what their university is doing and how that fits into the war."

result from research conducted at KU," Hill said.
Peter Herlihy, associate director of indigenous studies and a leader of the Bowman Expedition, said that he embraced the vitality and enthusiasm that KU Watch has had, but his project was the antithesis of what they were trying to say.
"We are proud to raise the flag and say look at what the government is funding." Herlihy said. "Our project empowers indigenous people by putting intellectual property where it belongs."
"I think their project is good, but to think that it doesn't fit into a larger agenda seems kind of naive," Hill said.
Herlihy said that the grants provided by the government during World War II played a major role in how the government was able to bring peace.
"Geographical intelligence is needed for peace and prosperity just like it is needed for war and destruction," Herlihy said.
Hill said this project among many others "support military initiatives connected to an unpopular war among University students and faculty."
"Painting all Department of Defense funding with one brush is not appropriate. A lot of it doesn't have anything to do with the war," Boatright said.
Hill said the University should make Department of Defense funded projects more accessible to students and open debate.
"Students need to be more politically aware of what their university is doing and how that fits into the war," Hill said.

Rush sets his sights on NBA Draft
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
Bill Self could've at least entertained the idea or humored wishful-thinking fans, right? Maybe said that Brandon Rush would worry about the NBA in a few months.
Yeah, Self could've done all that, but he would've been lying. Instead, while he chatted with the media just a few feet from Brandon Rush in the ballroom of the Kansas City Marriott during Big 12 Media days in October, he gave a blunt assessment of how likely it would be for Rush to come back for a senior year.
"Nobody's thinking that he is, including me, including him." Self said. "He knows he would not be here now if not for the injury so why should we expect him to play for two more years."
Now, toward the end of his junior season, Rush is finally playing like someone who's worthy of getting drafted. He's averaging better than 19 points a game in the last four games and is starting to rely less on his outside shot by taking the ball to rim more often. Rush won't publicly tell anyone about his future plans – he maintains he's focused on the NCAA Tournament – but he couldn't hide his enthusiasm when asked how much a solid run in March would help his draft stock.
"They're definitely going to be more impressed," Rush said about the pro scouts.
He was right. An NBA executive, who insisted on anonymity, said the tournament

even higher because of a strong postseason. This means a player like Rush could go from the late second round, where he was projected to land just a couple months ago, to a possible late first round or early second round pick.
Mock Draft Projections These aren't always the most reli- able, but here's where a few mock drafts place Brandon Rush. NBADraft.net - 34th MyNBADraft.com- 28th Collegehoopsnet.com- 38th Draftexpress.com- 22nd
had to withdraw from draft considera tions.
However, Rush said that throughout the season his knee felt fine and didn't bother him. In fact, his play showed the opposite. Games went by, and Rush rarely looked comfortable. He could still score - he was KU's scoring leader in conference play - but almost never ventured in front of the three-point line.
Throughout the season Self pled with Rush to be more aggressive, as he often has during the past three seasons. One confrontation may have finally worked. It was halftime of KU's quarterfinal game of the Big 12 Tournament against Nebraska.
"He challenged his manhood," senior guard Russell Robinson said. "Brandon accepts criticism well and just took it as coach trying to motivate him and turned it around."
The next day Rush scored a careerhigh 29 points. He followed it up with six three-pointers in the Big 12 Championship and earned the MVP award for the Big 12 Tournament. He has stayed aggressive in the NCAA Tournament, going for 18 points and 12 points in the first two games.
KANSAN.COM
Most analysts thought Rush would be drafted in the late first round last summer, when he entered the NBA Draft after his sophomore year. His workouts were good, and he was regarded as one of the best defenders in the draft. That all changed when Rush tore his ACL in late May and

The improved play has boosted his draft status and helped his team win. A National
Championship or Final Four might make Rush a better draft pick than anyone would have thought possible a month ago. Robinson would love to see Rush's value increase because it would mean that the team was having success.
"The main thing is he's playing well." Robinson said, "and we need to get him to continue playing well. Good things will happen for us and they'll happen for him as well."

Brandon Rush goes up for a shot over Portland State defenders during Thursday's game at the Owest Center in Omaha, Neb. Rush scored 15 points in the first half of the game and finished with 18 for the game. He scored 12 points in Saturday's game against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Team encouraged by WNIT game, ready for next year
BY B.J. RAINS
BRAINS@KANSAN.COM
Henrickson instructed her players to fill out brackets as the teams were announced and to watch the show as if Kansas were going to be one of the 64 teams announced. When it was all said and done, the Jayhawks indeed were not one of the eight Big 12 teams selected to participate in the big dance.
Although she knew her team had no chance of being selected for the NCAA Tournament, coach Bonnie Henrickson brought her players and coaches together last Monday to watch the selection show anyway.
"It was pretty painful," sophomore guard Kelly Kohn said, "To watch Nebraska, who we just beat twice, get into the tournament, and Iowa State, who we just beat at home...it was tough, it was painful to watch all of the other teams like Stanford and all of the big ones all excited on camera."
The jayhawks schedule, ranked as the 18th hardest in Division I by collegepi.com. featured 12 teams that were selected to the NCAA Tournament. The
Jayhawks won five games against teams going to the tournament including at Xavier and only three of their 15 losses came against teams not selected to the big dance.
"It sucked," sophomore guard Sade Morris said. "Every time a team would come up like Hartford, we beat
them; Xavier, well, we beat them.
And then we saw teams that we think we could beat, and knowing they took eight Big 12 teams...I just don't even like thinking about it"
Henrickson organized the group watch party to instill the mind-set of postseason basketball in her player's minds. The Jayhawks were fighting for an NCAA bid but lost their final five Big 12 conference games to end the season.
"I really felt like we needed to understand the tournament," Henrickson said. "I wasn't convinced throughout the year and even at the end of the year that we really understood about the conferences and the at-larges and automatics. Just watching it and filling out a bracket and talking to them about how exciting it was to make the NIT and see their name in a bracket, and just how much more exciting it is when you're up in the other bracket and on TV."

Improved play advances Hawks
Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse Kansas demolished Evansville 82-60 in the second round of the WNIT to advance to a showdown with Michigan State in East Lansing on Thursday.
A late season collapse ensured Kansas and coach Bonnie Henrickson wouldn't play in their first NCAA Tournament since 2001. But rather than hang their heads and dwell on missed opportunities, Henrickson and the Jayhawks are relishing the chance to make their presence felt in the WNIT.

The layhawks played like it, shooting 56 percent from the field while limiting the Co-Missouri Valley Champion Purple Aces to 30 percent for the game and 22 percent shooting in the first half. Four different Kansas players scored in double figures, led by sophomore guard Danielle McCray's 20 points and seven rebounds on 9 of 16 shooting.
"This is our NCAA Tournament," sophomore guard Sade Morris said.
"Danielle had a quiet 20," Henrickson said of Kansas' leading scorer's first 20 point game since February 12 against Colorado. "I was a little surprised when I looked and she had 20."
McCray was joined in double figures by Morris, sophomore guard Kelly Kohn and freshman center Krysten Boogaard. Morris, Kohn and Boogaard combined for 36 points, shot 14 of 17 from the field

Self's tactics lead adaptable Jayhawks into Sweet 16
BY ASHER FUSCO
AFUSCO@KANSAN.COM
Kansas coach Bill Self knelt down to assess the situation. Chalmers looked up at his coach with a grin — he was feeling fine. Self quickly turned his attention from his thankfully healthy player to a more pressing issue: the officiating. Self used the impromptu stoppage of play to turn to a nearby referee and deliver a playful jab.
"You sure that wasn't a foul on that block down at the other end?" Self implored, cracking a half-smile.
The Kansas coach's politicking didn't convince the officials to overturn junior guard Brandon Rush's fifth foul, but it did serve as perfect punctuation for the masterpiece of a game Self penned from the sideline.
Self's success last weekend in Omaha

Kansas made a small run to extend its lead to five points by halftime, but the game wasn't going as planned. No.8 seeds from the Mountain West Conference aren't supposed to hang with No.1 seeds from the Big 12 Conference, let alone the powerful Kansas team that went 18-0 against nonconference foes during the regular season.

Self made sure UNLV wouldn't hang with Kansas for much longer. In the second half, Kansas adjusted its lineup, throwing four guards and one post at the Rebels instead of staying with its standard three-guard, two-big man setup. The change-up not only helped Kansas defend the diminutive Rebels, who didn't start a player taller than 6-foot-7, but also assisted with the Jayhawks' offense.
Without an extra post player clogging the lane, the Kansas guards took

Q: When was the last time Kansas played a 12 seed in the NCAA Tournament?
A: 2004 when the Jayhawks faced off against the Pacific Boxers in the second round. Kansas beat Pacific 78-63 in Kansas City, Mo., to advance to the Sweet 16. The Jayhawks will face their second 12-seed in eight years Friday when they meet the Villanova Wildcats.

fact of the day
The last time Villanova faced a one seed in the NCAA Tournament was in 2005 when the Wildcats played the North Carolina Tarheels in the Sweet 16. Villanova hung with North Carolina for most of the game until the Tarheels pulled away to win 67-66. North Carolina went on to win the national championship.

compete this week North Carolina couldn't be stopped. Then again, neither could Western Kentucky.
The 64-team NCAA bracket is down to 16 after Sunday's games, though many of the story lines that existed when the tournament began — those of prominent power-houses, plucky underdogs and fantastic freshmen — are still very much alive.
One coach who got ejected and embarrassed gets a second chance. Teams like Duke and Georgetown are among the many who don't.
"We've been getting everybody's best game," UCLA coach Ben Howland said after the Bruins barely escaped their second-round game against Texas A&M. "That's why this is the greatest sporting event in all of American sports, because anybody can beat anybody."
But nobody could beat the top seeds over the first weekend.
Kansas, Memphis and North Carolina joined UCLA in making it through. The Jayhawks and Tar Heels did it most impressively, winning their four games by an average of 28. Memphis and UCLA, meanwhile, looked vulnerable in their second-round victories.
The Bruins, in fact, lost two points on Sunday even though they didn't play. NCAA officials said the final score of their Saturday-night win over Texas A&M should be 51-49 instead of 53-49 because a meaningless, last-second dunk by Russell Westbrook didn't come before the buzzer.
UCLA's next opponent in the West Regional is Western Kentucky, one of three double-digit seeds remaining in the tournament. Upsets reigned in Tampa and 12th-seeded Villanova also advanced out of the Midwest Regional.

Sure, but it doesn't compare to beating Woods — especially when the world's No. 1 hasn't lost in six months.
Ogilvy won the CA Championship on Monday, saving a round that seemed in peril with a chip-in for par at the 13th hole and going on to claim his second victory in a World Golf Championship event. And not only did Ogilvy take down Tiger, he did it at Doral, where Woods had won each of the past three years.
So much for that perfect-season talk. The streak is over.
"It was going to end at some point," Ogilvy said. "I'm very glad that I did it. It's a nice place to do it, too, because he's obviously owned this place for the last few years. He just had one of those weeks."
A final round of 1-under 71 — with nothing but nine pars Monday — was enough for Gilvoy to finish at 17 under, one shot better than Retief Goosen, Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh, who all closed with 68s in the raindelayed tournament. Woods was fifth at 15 under, losing for the first time in six PGA Tour starts and seven official ones worldwide, not counting his win at the Target World Challenge.
"As players, it's nice to see somebody else lift a trophy for a change." Goosen said.
With the win, Ogilvy joined select company — only Woods (15) and Darren Clarke (two) have more than one WGC title.

advantage of their slower opponents by driving repeatedly to the hoop. The aggressive, guard-oriented system resulted in 17 points for Chalmers, 13 for senior guard Russell Robinson and 10 for sophomore guard Sherron Collins.
"It came natural." Robinson said. "We took it — it was open, and an easy layup was open for us."
Self's adjustment helped Kansas expand its lead steadily throughout the second half. The Jayhawks advantage grew to 11 midway through the second half and a comfortable 19 by the end of the game. Saturday afternoon, Self advanced his Kansas squad to the Sweet Sixteen for the second consecutive season and outcoached a savvy veteran coach in UNLV's Lon Kruger. And he did it while toying with lineups and experimenting with personnel.
"We've always tried to play two
bigs, and certainly today we did not do that because we couldn't match up with them," Self said. "It was encouraging to me to see us play a different way and still have success playing that way."
No matter which way Self's Kansas teams have played — slow, fast, big or small — they've found success. Forget the early exits from the 2005 and 2006 NCAA tournaments. The man has won 82 percent of his games at Kansas, better than any non-interim coach at the school.

Japanese pitcher struggles to find same success in America
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO—Complete games were common for Daisuke Matsuzaka in Japan.
Then he came to the United States, where pitch counts and caution forced him out of games before he wanted to leave. Red Sox manager Terry Francona let him finish just one of his 32 starts as a rookie last year.
It's Year 2 of the Dice-K era and Francona still isn't ready to give his hardworking right-hander the ball and let him keep it until the end.
So fans in his homeland are bound to be disappointed Tuesday night when Matsuzaka starts in the opening game of the major league season against the Oakland Athletics. In 190 starts over eight seasons with the Seibu Lions, he completed 72 games.
"We're just trying to mix and match the competitive nature and still gaining the strength for a long season."
"If we were playing this game in June, I'd love to send him out there and let him try to pitch a complete game, like he probably wants to." Francona said Monday. "We just probably can't shoot for that now. We're still at a stage where you're building arm strength.
"We're not going to let him go and go and go," Francona said.
Too much work now can lead to injuries later. The manager thinks Dice-K can throw 90 pitches, possibly more — but not much more.
With Boston last year, his pitch counts ranged from 72 to 130, reaching 120 just six times.
And go and go and go some more the way he did in 1998 when he threw 250 pitches in a 17-inning complete game in the Koshien national high school tournament, won by his school, Yokohama.
Backup infielder Alex Cora is confident Matsuzaka can improve on his 15-12 record and 4.40 ERA as a rookie.
"The sky's the limit." Cora said. "He's going to make adjustments. The hitters are going to make adjustments. He's used to it now. I think he's going to have the upper hand this year."
Joe Blanton starts for Oakland, and manager Bob Geren doesn't expect him to be intimidated by facing a national treasure of japan.
"He is a very good pitcher," Geren said of Dice-K at a news conference Monday with Blanton, "and so is the guy sitting next to me."
But if Matsuzaka can pitch long enough to let Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon finish with one inning each, Francona would be happy.
"That would be about perfect. We would need to have the lead for that to happen," he said. "That's what we're shooting for. That's the formula."
Since the Red Sox arrived in Tokyo early Friday morning, Francona has been peppered with questions from Japanese writers about whether Matsuzaka will pitch a complete game. He has said repeatedly that depends not only on the number of pitches he throws but on how hard he works if he gets in trouble.
The adrenaline should be pumping when he pitches in his home city for the first time since he signed a $52 million, six-year deal with the Red Sox.
"I think it's an emotional game for him because he's going to be fired up and the crowd's probably going to be crazy and rooting for him," Boston's Mike Lowell said, "which is good for us."
Just one regular-season game out of 162 isn't as big as the 2006 World Baseball Classic, when Matsuzaka was the MVP after Japan won the tournament. It certainly can't measure up to his strong performances last year in Game 7 of the AL championship series and Game 3 of the World Series or playing in the 2004 Olympics in Australia.
Still, nerves can be a factor.
"It's human nature in a big game to be nervous." Lowell said. "You can be nervous and confident. But this ice in your veins, man of steel, I don't believe it. No one's this robot, not Dice-K, not anyone."
The Red Sox and Athletics each prepared with wins in exhibition games against the Hanshin Tigers and Yomiuri Giants. After Wednesday's game, each team has three more exhibition contests -- Boston at the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland against the San Francisco Giants.
Then they wrap up the opening four-game series in Oakland on April 1 and 2.
But on Tuesday morning, fans were expected to wake up early in Boston to watch the game scheduled to begin at 6:07 a.m. EDT (7:07 p.m. in Tokyo). If they don't turn on their television sets by 8 a.m., they may not see Matsuzaka pitch at all.
"We know they'll be watching," Francona said. "The game could be played in the middle of the night. They don't care. They want to watch the Red Sox."

Two fans take advantage of the new tickets, which offer unlimited venue food, at the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against Milwaukee Brewers in Los Angeles. Fans in Right Field Pavilion got all the hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, sodas and water they could eat with the purchase of their game ticket.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A growing trend in all-you-can-eat seating at sports venues is making baseball's summer chorus sound more like "Take Me Out to the Buffet."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dozens of arenas, stadiums and tracks have offered tickets that come with unlimited snacks. The seats have been a hit with fans, a moneymaker for the venues and a worry for obesity-conscious health officials.
Instead of paying for a ticket and multiple trips to the concession stand, the ticket includes everything and costs about 50 percent more. Alcohol and desserts are sold separately.
"I don't think you're ever going to get your value from it food-wise, but conveniencewise. I think it is a heck of a lot nicer than waiting in line for 20 minutes," said Drew Nurenberg, 30, of Malvern, Pa., who bought all-you-can-eat seats with his wife for a Philadelphia Flyers game last month.
Nearly half of the 30 major league baseball teams have added the all-inclusive seats, and others are looking into it. The NHL has nine teams offering the deal; the NBA has six. The idea has not caught on with the NFL, but

Lebron James cover creates King Kong-sized controversy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK—When Vogue announced its April cover would star LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen, the magazine noted with fanfare that James was the first black man to grace its cover.
But the image is stirring up controversy, with some commentators decrying the photo as perpetuating racial stereotypes. James strikes what some see as a gorilla-like pose, baring his teeth, with one hand dribbling a ball and the other around Bundchen's tiny waist.
It's an image some have likened to "King Kong" and Fay Wray.
"It conjures up this idea of a dangerous black man," said Tamara Walker, 29, of Philadelphia.
Vogue spokesman Patrick O'Connell said the magazine "sought to celebrate two super-stars at the top of their game" for the magazine's annual issue devoted to size and shape.

James told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer he was pleased with the cover, saying he was "just showing a little emotion."
How much do you know about the rest of the WORLD?
"We think Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen look beautiful together and we are honored to have them on the cover" he said.
"Everything my name is on is going to be criticized in a good way or bad way," James told the paper. "Who cares what anyone says?"
But magazine analyst Samir Husni believes the photo was deliberately provocative, adding that it "screams King Kong." Considering Vogue's influential history, he said, covers are not something that the magazine does in a rush.

Tournament, Colorado and Texas Tech joined Kansas in the WNIT. Eleven of the league's 12 teams advanced to the postseason, what better way to get ready for postseason play than to play 16 games in the best and toughest conference in all of women's basketball.
"I really don't believe there's much that we could see in this or the NCAA Tournament that we haven't seen at some point and had to prepare for at some point in this league," Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks, who were 2-10 on the road during the regular season including an 0-8 road mark in the Big 12, will surely face a tough test Thursday night at Michigan State in the Sweet 16 of the WNIT. The Spartans were ranked early in the season but faded down the stretch in the tough Big 10 Conference. If the Jayhawks can somehow win and reach the Elite Eight, they hope to play host to that game next Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
"We have nothing to lose," Morris said. "We're in this tournament and we want to feel good about ourselves and if we can win the tournament, it's going to give us all the confidence in the world for next year. It could definitely happen. Anything can happen."
Kansas State, which won the WNIT just two years ago, won the Big 12 regular season championship this year so the Jayhawks know it can be done. And according to them, it will.
"I don't really hope, I know that by the time I leave here, they are going to be saying our names up on that NCAA bracket during the watch party," Kohn said. "It's going to happen next year and the year after that."
And after the pain of missing out of the big dance this year, the Jayhawks aren't about to let it happen again. But just for good measure, they plan on winning the little dance first.

and 5 of 5 from three point range. Overall, Kansas made 9 of 13 three point attempts while limiting Evansville to 6 for 26 performance beyond the arc.
"It's just giving different looks," McCray said. "They can take away me, but then my teammates can do something."
The Jayhawk's ball movement and efficiency on the offensive end tore the Purple Aces' defense apart. Though Evansville alternated between zone and man-to-man defense in the first half, Kansas recorded 14 assists on 18 field goals to go to the locker room with a 41-25 advantage. Henrickon's team finished the same way they started, ending up with 22 assists while limiting themselves to 13 turnovers, more than six under their season average.
Junior guard Ivana Catic led Kansas with seven assists, and three others finished with more than three assists. Henrickson half-jokingly said she hadn't thought her team would learn to protect the basketball all season.
"That has been a red light for us," sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs said. "Going into the WNIT, it was a clean slate. We just came in with the mind-set that we are not going to harp on the pass, and come out and get a win."
The Purple Aces only led once after scoring the opening bucket of the game, but began chipping away at the Jayhawks lead in the second half. Though a 14-6 run brought Evansville within 13 at 56-43, Kansas responded with a 10-0 stretch of its own to effectively put the game out of reach. McCray scored seven of the Jayhawks' 10 points.
Henrickson's only complaint was her team's complete inability to keep the undersized Purple Aces off the offensive glass. Evansville hauled down 24 offensive rebounds despite no starter measuring more than 6-foot-1. Although Evansville couldn't take advantage of the extra opportunities, Michigan
State won't be so kind on Thursday.
The Spartans boast a formidable rebounding weapon in 6-foot-9 sophomore center Allyssa DeFlaan. Henrickson said she was disappointed in her team's effort on the boards and warned they wouldn't advance against Michigan State with a repeat performance on the boards. But like her players, she said she was happy to have another two weeks of practice to work with and the opportunity to continue their postseason run.
"It's great," she said. "Survive and advance."
CHEST PAINT
JACOBS STARTS ON BENCH
For the first time this season, fans in Allen Fieldhouse painted their chests in support of their team. Surprisingly, it wasn't the Jayhawk faithful who bared their fandom for all to see. That honor fell to a group of 15 traveling Evansville fans who created a human billboard in support of the Missouri Valley Co-Champions. The group was part of a busload of Purple Aces supporters who traveled to Lawrence for Monday night's second round WNIT game.
Sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs's streak of three consecutive starts was broken as Catic returned to coach Bonnie Henrickson's starting five. Henrickson said attitude problems had relegated Jacobs to the bench.
CLEARING THE BENCH
With 2.22 remaining the second half, Henrickson went to a place she has rarely gone this season: the end of the Kansas bench. Sophomore forward Rebecca Feickert made her first appearance this season while junior Marija Zinic and Katie Smith made rare appearances.

Hawks win with fewer turnovers

replaces too many mistakes with 22 assists and only 13 turnovers. The result is an 82-60 victory.
All season, coach Bonnie Henrickson's team could never stop helping out the other team. Even in victory the Jayhawks turned the ball over an upward of 20 times but narrowly escaped.
Monday night Henrickson found out what happens when her squad
While happy with the results, Henrickson admitted that she didn't think Kansas' turnover numbers would cease.
"No, not in my lifetime at Karsas I didn't think it would," Henricksen joked.
Truthfully, it was only the second fewest turnovers committed by the Jayhawks this season. But with the way things went at the end of the season – they averaged 21 turnovers in the last two games – it's hard to blame her for doubting that the team would turn it

Nuggets take edge in second half
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Allen Iverson had 26 points and seven assists, while Carmeelo Anthony finished with 23 points as the Denver Nuggets used a big second half to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies 120-106 on Monday night.
J. R. Smith led the Nuggets, scoring 25 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter, as Denver stretched the lead to as many as 22 in winning its third straight. Smith was 8-of-10 in the period, including seven outside the arc.
Rudy Gay led Memphis with 30 points, while Hakim Warrick finished with a season-high 29. Mike Miller added 19 and Javaris Crittenton 14.
Memphis led at halftime, but the Nuggets outscored the Grizzlies 37-22 in the third period to build their lead to 14. Memphis was unable to overcome the deficit, particularly after Smith scored 16 points, including 13 straight for Denver, by the midway point of the fourth for a 109-95 lead, matching Denver's biggest margin of the night at that point.
Memphis, which had won three of its previous four, had no answer for the Nuggets after halftime as Denver connected on 24 of 40 shots. The Nuggets had built on their lead in the third quarter.
Denver, fighting for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference, trails Golden State by one game.
Iverson led Denver with 11, but was 3-of-11 from the field.
The loss snapped Memphis' two-game winning streak.
Anthony, Camby and Iverson were a combined 8-of-25 in the half.
Denver had turned up the defensive pressure to open the second half, blocking shots and causing Memphis turnovers. The Nuggets shot better from the outside. Meanwhile, Memphis was missing seven of it first eight shots
in the third period.
Anthony had 14 in the third quarter, while Iverson added 11 as the Nuggets pulled away for their biggest lead at that point, 14 points, and led 88-79 at the end of three periods. The Nuggets didn't look back in the fourth finishing out the victory by 14.

MID-MAJOR COMPLEX
After Monday night's loss, Evansville is now 0-8 all-time against the Big 12. This was the Purple Aces' first game with a Big 12 opponent since 2004. All night the Co-MVC champions were physically outmatched by the bigger and faster Jayhawks.
KOHN-ING HOME
Thursday's game at Michigan St. will be a road trip home for sophomore guard Kelly Kohn. The sophomore is originally from Adrian, Mich., 45-60 minutes south of East Lansing. The timing couldn't be better for Kohn, who had one of her best games of the season on Monday with 10 points, four rebounds and three assists.

around. Henrickson wasn't the only one surprised by the performance, either.
"I looked at the stat sheet and was like, 'Wow,' 13 turnovers," sophomore guard Danielle McCray said. "We were all excited because that's a sign of progress for us and it shows how hard we've been working on making the easy passes."
Easy passes and smart plays helped Kansas overcome Evansville and advance to the third round of the WNIT, but sophomore guard Sade Morris wondered why it didn't come a little earlier.
"We were just waiting." Morris said. "Some practices we would do really well with the turnovers and others we would do really bad, so we were like 'Man, when is this going to come?'
"Tonight we took our time, made better decisions and I think we finally understand when people are going to be open and when to throw the ball."
(CONTINUED FROM 4B)
Henrickson noticed that her team was not only playing smarter, but the Jayhawks were playing with pride that she hasn't seen for a while.
"That's what we talked about, take some pride in your handles and take some pride in your ability to make a pass and finish a
The Jayhawks shot a season high 69.2 percent from beyond the arc, led by a 3-for-3 performance from Morris. A big reason for that spike in long distance connections was making one more pass to find the open shooter.
play," Henrickson said.
"When someone makes the extra pass, I bet most teams shoot 80 percent on that shot because you feel good about it," Henrickson said. "You know someone has really worked hard to set you up in your rhythm and your timing and we made most of those shots tonight."
Only two Kansas players had three or more turnovers while five had at least three assists. At the top of that list with seven assists was junior guard Ivana Catic, who made her first start in four games after being replaced at point guard by sophomore LaChelda Jacobs.
Catic took advantage of her second chance, much like the Jayhawks revealed in their opportunity to shine in the postseason.
Kohn called her mom immediately after the game to confirm that she already had her tickets. She also estimated that half of her graduating class enrolled at Michigan St. and could make an appearance on Thursday.
"It's all about making the most of your opportunity," Henrickson said. "Whether it's a kid in your program or a team in a tournament."

"I'm not trying to repeat anything," said Holliday, who finished runner-up to Jimmy Rollins in the NL MVP race. "I'm just trying to get better. I want to go out there and do the best I can. I'm not worried about my numbers."

TUCSON, Ariz. — Matt Holliday wiped the sweat from his closely shaved head as he sauntered to the plate for a round of batting practice at Hi Corbett on Monday.
The Colorado Rockies slugger wiggled his bat, almost in perfect rhythm with the blaring country music, before sending a pitch sailing toward a towering tree well beyond the center field fence, then another pitch deep over the scoreboard in left
His teammates, standing behind the cage, became more vocal with every blast off his bat.
They're used to his mighty swing by now, but still can't help marveling at his potent power.
Holliday put together an impressive offensive display last season, hitting .340 with 36 homers and 137 RBIs.The two-time All Star became just the fifth player since 1949 to lead the NL in both batting average and RBIs in the same season.
"Once you do it once, they expect you to do it every year," Todd Helton said. "If you don't, it's going to be considered a bad year. Sometimes, that's not fair. But Matthew's capable of going out and doing better than he did last year. He's capable of putting up even better numbers."
"He can hit it a long way," catcher Yorvit Torrealba said.

Success hinges on pitching improvements
BY SHAWN SHROYER
shroyer@kansan.com
The Florida Spring Classic was supposed to give Kansas a chance to fine-tune its pitching, hitting and defense. Instead, it may have revealed some glaring weaknesses.
In particular, the ineffectiveness of Kansas' starting pitching was startling. To make matters worse, Kansas' arms received little help from their defense. And, worst of all, little time remains for the Jayhawks (15-9) to improve in these areas.
"Our starting pitching's got to do a better job of getting us to the sixth inning with a chance to win, and those are experienced guys," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "I think that what we're most disappointed in right now."
Excluding freshman right-hander T.J. Walz's 6.2-inning, one-run, five-strike performance en route to victory against UMBC, Kansas was forced to play from behind in every game of the classic.
Senior right-handers Hiarali
Junior left-hander Sam Freeman (3-0), whose spot in the rotation was skipped because of Saturday's rain outs, will get the first chance to redeem the Kansas pitching staff this week. He will start today's 3 p.m. game against Chicago State (3-15).
Garcia and Andres Esquibel, junior left-hander Nick Czyz, and sophomore left-handers Shaeffer Hall and Wally Marceli combined to allow 31 runs in just 21 innings of work.
Freeman pitched just one inning of relief on Sunday, allowing two runs to score. Because Freeman only pitched an inning during the weekend, Price hopes, by throwing him today, he'll be ready to pitch next Sunday against Texas A&M.
Garcia (1-0), who allowed four runs in 4.2 innings to Central Connecticut State last week, is slated to start Wednesday's game.
However, Hall (1-1) might also get a start during the midweek if Price is able to add a third game with Chicago State. Kansas has had three games cancelled this season and, although Price added Saint
Regardless of how many games Kansas plays this week, Price would like to see his team improve in the field. The Jayhawks committed 13 errors last week, including four on Sunday.
As any pitcher would attest to, it's easier to pitch with a steady defense in the field. Improved defense could be just what Kansas' pitching staff needs to feel more comfortable on the mound.
Mary on April 2, he's now scrambling to make up Saturday's cancellations.
"I think we're hitting pretty solid," senior right-fielder Ryne Price said. "Mostly executing with runners in scoring position and having quality at bats throughout the game are the areas where we need to improve."
One thing that should help ease Jayhawk pitchers' minds is the production Kansas is getting on offense.
Kansas scored 45 runs last week and that kind of output only figures to continue considering Kansas outscored Chicago State 45-7 in four games last season.
Junior catcher Buck Afenir was the offensive star Sunday against Northwestern. Price moved Afenir to the cleanup spot in the order and he responded by going three-for-five with two runs, five RBI and his third home run of the season.
Junior first baseman Preston Land had been Kansas' regular cleanup hit, but with a .254 batting average entering Sunday, he was moved down the order. However, Land's .389 on-base percentage still puts Afenir's to shame. Even with a .321 batting average, Afenir's on-base percentage is .345 — next-to-last among Kansas' regulars.

"Basically, where he's at, he doesn't walk very much so his on-base percentage isn't very good," Price said. "We put him in that spot because he does have the ability to be physical with the bat and to knock in runs. The second thing is Preston's really struggling, so I'm going to try to drop him down in the lineup and see if he can get more fastballs and pitches to hit."

BY BRENNA HAWLEY

Windmills, eliminating doors and the lifespan on swimming pools were discussed at Tuesday night's University Daily Kansan Student Senate Debate at Woodruff
Auditorium in the Kansas Union
Student Senate presidential and vice presidential candidates from coalitions United Students, Connect KU and Students of Liberty participated in the debate. Candidates answered students' questions submitted via YouTube, e-mail and from the audience.
One of the major issues of the debate was creating a more sustainable campus.
Eric Hyde, Lawrence sophomore and vice presidential candidate for Students of Liberty, said Pratt Community College built three wind-mills on its campus to help with a $200,000 deficit. He said the deficit was resolved in one year. He said the University of Kansas could be a more

"One of the worst things you can have for 'greening' is politics mixed in with it," Hyde said.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and presidential candidate for United Students, said one of United Students' platforms would focus on making campus more energy-efficient and said the platform would be released in the next week.
KU, said the lake was a staple of the University. He said years ago, Potter Lake was a gathering place for students, much like Wescoe Beach. He said there used to be entertainment shows at the lake, as well.
Connect KU said it focused on a more sustainable campus by cleaning up Potter Lake. Jason Oruch, Plano, Texas, junior, and vice presidential candidate for Connect

questions asked United Students why students should pay for a pool that would not be finished until current students had graduated. Building a pool at the Student Recreation Fitness Center to replace the one at Robinson Gymnasium was the first platform of United Students.
McGonigle said that the average lifetime
of a swimming pool was 25 years, according to the director of the Recreation Center. He said that by the time his proposed pool would be completed, the pool in Robinson Gymnasium would be twice that age.
McGonigle said that student athletes should be able to swim in a better pool and students working out shouldn't have to work their schedule around the few hours that the current pool is open.
"If students want to run and swim they can do it at the same place," McGonigle said.

United Students names second platform
Student Senate coalition United Students wants to give students free parking in the Kansas Union parking garage. The coalition proposed to make parking in the top level of the garage free after 5 p.m.on weekdays so students can go to night meetings and classes more easily.United Students also want to make the entire garage free on basketball game days because basketball fans take many other spots on campus.
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
Allowing free parking in the garage attached to the Kansas Union is United Students' second platform.
Students who have a valid parking pass can park in the garage during weekdays.
The coalition wants to open the top level of the garage to free parking every weekday after 5 p.m. Students must pay to park at the garage all day and night during the week, but it is free on weekends.
They also want to open the entire garage for free on basketball game days. If elected, United Students will propose this measure next fall with hopes to implement it by Spring 2009.
Michael Gillaspie, Ashland junior and United Students vice presidential candidate, said many groups held meetings in the Kansas Union after 5 p.m. but still had to pay for parking.
He said the coalition was trying to make campus more accessible to off-campus students. The night campus express bus is free for students and departs from the Kansas Union to take students to locations around campus.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and United Students presidential candidate, said the Kansas Union parking garage was one of the only places on campus that students still had to pay to park in at night.
"It itkes so much time to drive all over campus looking for that one spot at night, and there is an entire garage that sits virtually empty," McGonigle said.
McGonigle said that during basketball games, fans took most other spots on campus because they were closer to Allen Fieldhouse.
Gillaspie said other things happened on campus during basketball games, and free parking in the
garage would give these people an easy place to park.
"During basketball games, students still have mid-terms," Gillaspie said.
May Davis, transportation coordinator for the Parking Department and member of United Students, said any proposal from United Students had to go through the Parking Commission. Davis, Clay Center sophomore, said the commission was made up of students, faculty and staff and that it made all parking and transit decisions that are later implemented by the Parking Department. McGonigle said that he spoke with Davis before forming his platform, but that it wasn't her idea.
Davis also said the new Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center next to the Kansas Union increased the number of people at the Kansas Union at night.
"The Kansas Union is such a hub of activity, and the fact that it's not at the center of campus is a problem," Davis said.
She said the campus night express bus helped with that, but it departed from the front of the Kansas Union, not from Mississippi Street where yellow parking lots were. She said free parking in the Kansas Union would help facilitate the increased traffic.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of the Parking Department, said allowing free parking in the garage would affect the budget, but he didn't know how much. He said the department had to do a study to see how much money it made from the parking garage to know how much it would be affected. He said the department did make money from the garage, where people have to pay to park at all times during weekdays.
Kaiser said the department took out a bond to pay for the parking garage in 1999. As of June 30, 2007, there was more than $5 million left
to pay on the garage. It originally cost more than $11 million and is planned to be paid off by 2014.
McGonigle said that United Students realized the department had to pay off the garage, but also said the department was very cooperative in finding better parking for students.
Free parking in the Kansas Union parking garage was a platform for the KUnited coalition in Spring 2005. Davis said it probably
didn't pass then because the parking commission didn't like the idea. She said the commission members changed each year, so proposals passed depending on the makeup of the commission.
Kaiser said that parking had never been free at the Kansas Union parking garage after 5 p.m. on weekdays, but was free on weekends.

Sustainable carpet, such as the carpet used at Oliver Hall, is one way the University cuts down on waste.
Sustainability starts with the carpet
BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com
The carpet was produced by Interface, a company dedicated to sustainable business practices.
Housing maintenance took advantage of a student-free Oliver Hall during spring break to install environmentally friendly carpet.
Ray Anderson, founder of Interface, pledged in 1995 that Interface would become the world's first entirely sustainable company by 2020. He pledged to ban the use of petroleum in Interface carpet manufacturing and has developed carpet fibers that can be more easily recycled.
Anderson will speak about sustainability tonight at 7:30 in Woodruff Auditorium.
Lorraine Malone, coordinator of Housing Maintenance, said the eco-friendly Interface carpet had been in Oliver and GSP-Corbin Halls for at least three years.
"It's great for us," Malone said. "From the cleanability to the waste and cost factors."
One factor that makes the carpet less wasteful, Malone said, is the ease with which it can be replaced. The carpet is installed as tiles that range in size from 20 square inches to 24 square inches. The removable tiles allow spills and stains in residence halls to be cleaned by replacing individual carpet pieces rather than recarpet-
ing an entire room.
Malone also said waste associated with carpet had been abated by a state-initiated carpet-recycling program introduced last year. The program ensures that carpet from KU buildings get recycled and reused, instead of ending up in landfills.
Eco-friendly cleaning products used by Custodial Services in the Kansas Union also support sustainability on campus.
Kirby Ostrander, custodial supervisor at the Kansas Union, said he introduced sustainable products to Custodial Services' cleaner collection after attending a green cleaning seminar six years ago.
One of the sustainable cleaners, called H2Orange2, replaced many of the aerosols and chemical-laden cleaners that KU custodians had been using. H2Orange2, which contains orange oil and hydrogen peroxide, does not have the harmful compounds such as chlorine and bleach found in many cleaning products.
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee senior and member of the student environmental advisory board, said the University had made vast improvements in terms of sustainability.
"We're getting to a tipping point," he said. "I feel like things are picking up, and there's a whole lot getting ready to happen."

Chapter makes comeback
ZB T
Zeta Beta Tau plans to return after 10-year absence
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com
A Jewish fraternity will join the 40 Greek houses at the University of Kansas within the next few years.
Zeta Beta Tau, a fraternity based in Indianapolis, is coming back to the University after being absent for about ten years. It closed its first house in the late 1990s because of a lack of general leadership in the chapter.
ZBT was invited to start a new chapter by KU's Interfraternity Council and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in September 2007.
Associate Executive Director Laurence Bolotin said the fraternity had begun to receive requests to start a new ZBT chapter on campus, so it has begun to reconnect with campus and alumni.
ZBT does not have a house yet, but Bolotin said that the fraternity had other more pressing priorities.
"Our hope would be that we can build up a strong membership base so that a house could be located in the following year," Bolotin said.
Bolotin hopes to recruit about 20-30 "founding fathers" before the next academic year.
The fraternity was founded at Columbia University in New York by Richard J. H. Gottheil in 1898. It was started as the first North American Jewish fraternity because Jewish students were often not allowed to join existing fraternities.
The KU chapter was started in the 1950s, and the strongest years here were in the 1980s, Bolotin said.
ZBT became a non-pledging fraternity in 1989, in an effort to eliminate hazing. The fraternity had problems with pledges being treated like "second-class citizens," so they created the "Brotherhood Program."
The program emphasized earning membership every day while in the organization, as opposed to earning the membership over the course of only one semester.
"Because our founders knew what it felt like to be discriminated against, it is important to ZBT that we always provide a welcoming environment to any college male of good moral character who is passionate about our mission as a Jewish fraternity," Bolotin said.
The fraternity also experienced a lower level of interest in the 1970s because of the Vietnam conflict and the anti-establishment feelings that were popular during that time.
ZBT has about 110,000 members at more than 80 campuses in both the U.S. and Canada.
Another Jewish fraternity already exists on campus. Drew Eltis, president of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said having another Jewish fraternity on campus was a good thing for the Jewish community.
"We're looking forward to the growing Jewish population on campus," Eltis said.

Study shows that premature babies have higher death rates
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Most preemies grow up to have good health and normal reproduction, but the researchers found heightened risks compared with babies born at full term from 1967 to 1988. The findings add to known consequences of prematurity such as lung problems, disabilities, mental retardation and school delays.
CHICAGO — The largest-ever study of the long-term consequences of premature birth finds that children born early have higher death rates in childhood and are more likely to be childless in adulthood.
Experts called the research significant because it followed 1.2 million Norwegian births over decades. It also raises questions about future risks for even titer babies saved today by modern medicine.
U. S. rates of premature births climbed steadily during the past two decades reaching an estimated 12.8 percent of births in 2006, government figures show. More than 540,000 babies were born premature that year. Fertility treatments that result in multiple births and older mothers contributed to the rise.
New drugs and therapies first used widely in the 1990s now save smaller and sicker babies. So the babies in the study may have been healthier, on average, than children born premature in recent years, experts said.
"Are we improving their survival but at the expense of significant problems down the road?" asked study leader Geeta Swamy of Duke University Medical Center.
"In the United States, there is an epidemic of preterm birth, and prevention is absolutely critical," said Alan Fleischman of the March of Dimes. He was not involved in the study.
Fleischman said prevention efforts include hormone treatment for women with a history of giving premature birth, avoiding inducing labor unless medically necessary and reducing the number of embryos implanted at one time during fertility treatments.
In the study, appearing in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association, more than 60,000 Norwegian children were born premature, about 5 percent overall. Only single births were included.
As expected, babies born early were more likely to die during the first year of life compared with babies born at term.
Surprisingly, their increased risk of death persisted as they aged.
The children who were born five to nine weeks early (28 to 32 weeks into the pregnancy) showed a doubled risk of death from ages 1 to 5 compared with children born at normal term. (The overall risk of death was low: 33 of the 5,880 children in the premature group died.)
When the researchers looked at boys and girls separately, they found a stronger link in boys between premature birth and higher death rates in childhood.
The causes of childhood deaths are still being analyzed, but birth defects and childhood cancers played a role, Swamy said.
In adulthood, other differences showed up. Prematurity was linked to lower levels of education and more childlessness in both men and women in a subset of more than 580,000 births from 1967 through 1976.
Women who were preemies had a higher risk of giving birth to premature babies themselves. The risk of next-generation premature births increased with the severity of prematurity in the mothers.
As in other studies, there were more premature births among single mothers and those with less education.
GENEALOGY
Norway's homogenous population and its universal access to medical care make the findings a "best case scenario" said Wanda Barfield of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She coauthored an accompanying editorial in the journal.
In the United States, premature birth rates among black mothers are higher than among white mothers, she said.
The findings suggest people may want to tell their doctors if they were born early.
Research uncovers Democratic presidential candidates' distant celebrity relatives
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — This could make for one odd family reunion: Barack Obama is a distant cousin of actor Brad Pitt, and Hillary Rodham Clinton is related to Pitt's girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.
Researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found some remarkable family connections for the three presidential candidates — Democratic rivals Obama and Clinton, and Republican John McCain.
"You'd think with all that singing talent in the family she'd be able to carry a tune," Clinton's senior adviser Philippe Reines said. "But
Clinton, who is of French-Canadian descent on her mother's side, is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. presidents, including George W. Bush, his cousins. McCain is a sixth cousin of first lady Laura Bush.
now it makes much more sense how she snagged a Grammy."
Clinton won for best spoken word Grammy in 1997 for "It Takes a Village." Obama also won a Grammy in that category this year for the audio version of his book, "The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream."
Obama has a prolific presidential lineage that features Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. Other Obama cousins include Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir
Genealogist Christopher Child said that while the candidates often focus on pointing out differences between them, their ancestry shows they are more alike than they think.
"It shows that lots of different people can be related, people you wouldn't necessarily expect," Child said.
Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee.
Child has spent the last three years tracing the candidates' genealogy, along with senior research scholar Gary Boyd Roberts, author of the 1989 book, "Ancestors of American Presidents."
"His kinships are across the political spectrum," Child said.
Clinton's distant cousins include beatnik author Jack Kerouac and Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles of England.
McCain's ancestry was more difficult to trace because records on his relatives were not as complete as records for the families of Obama and Clinton, Child said.
Obama and President Bush are 10th cousins, once removed, linked by Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662.
Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769. Clinton and Jolie are ninth cousins, twice removed, both related to Jean Cusson who died in St. Sulpice, Quebec, in 1718.

Construction workers look on as a section of a crane is lifted from a house and set on the ground Tuesday in Miami. Two workers were killed and four others were injured Tuesday when a crane collapsed at a downtown high-rise condominium site and fell on top of a home that the contractor used as an office, police said.
Crane collapse kills two in Miami
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Part of a construction crane plummeted 30 floors at the site of a high-rise condominium Tuesday, smashing into a home that the contractor used for storage and killing two workers, police said.
Five workers were injured, including one in critical condition, officials said.
One of those killed died inside the house, and the other died at a hospital, police spokesman Delrish Moss said.
30 floors and smashed through the home's Spanish-tiled roof.
The crane's main vertical section was intact, but the part that fell was a 20-foot section that workers had been raising to extend the equipment's reach. Miami fire spokesman Ignatius Carroll said. It fell
Authorities were checking employee logs to make sure no workers were missing. But an initial survey by rescue workers and dogs found no evidence of victims trapped at the site of the 40-plus-story luxury condo tower on Biscayne Bay, Moss said.
Fire officials said rescue efforts were hampered because the crane remained unstable.
David Martinez, a pipe fitter, was on the fourth floor of the condo tower eating lunch when the crash occurred.
Martinez said.
"It was like a small earthquake," he said. "We looked outside, and we couldn't even see." It took several minutes for the dust to clear,
Mary Costello, a senior vice president for Bovis Lend Lease Holdings Inc., which was managing the construction, said the accident occurred when a subcontractor tried to raise the crane section and it came loose. The company is cooperating with investigators, she said.
"Our hearts are heavy at this moment for the two deceased individuals,including one of our own employees and the additional injured workers,"she said in a statement.
The subcontractor and the tower developer, Royal Palms Communities, did not return phone messages seeking comment.
》 ECONOMY
Wall Street slows down
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Wall Street paused after a huge two-session rally Tuesday but closed mostly higher, holding on to almost all its gains even after disappointing reports on consumer sentiment and the housing market.
Stocks pulled past profit-taking that was due in part to the Conference Board's report that consumer confidence sank to a five-year low in March. The index has been weakening since July, and is closely watched to determine the future of consumer spending, perhaps the most critical part of the economy.
Meanwhile, the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index indicated that U.S. home prices fell 11.4 percent in January, the steepest drop since data was first collected in 1987. The latest decline means prices have been growing more slowly or dropping for 19 consecutive months.
Volume was light, with many investors holding off any big moves while the market sought a direction;trading remained uneasy amid the ongoing uncertainty about the economy and credit markets. Still, the fact that stocks didn't suffer a huge pullback, which has been the market's pattern for months after a big gain, indicated that at least for the time being Wall Street seems more capable of handling bad news.
Stocks had charged higher in the days following the Federal Reserve's decision to aid investment banks and orchestrate a buyout deal for a near-collapsed Bear Stearns Cos. The Dow Jones industrials shot up nearly 450 points in the previous two sessions.
"There is a lot of cash on the sidelines right now, and they're really waiting to see if there's another shoe to drop," said Todd Leone, managing director of equity trading at Cowen & Co. "Bear Stearns has taken a lot of fear
out of the market, and the Fed is doing what it can for the credit crunch, but I think there's still uncertainty."
The Dow fell 16.04, or 0.13 percent, to 12,532.60.
The blue chip index was actually the lager in Tuesday's session.
The one chip index was actually the laggard in Tuesday's session — the broader Standard & Poor's 500 and Nasdaq composite indexes had more robust gains. The S&P rose 3.11, or 0.23 percent, to 1,352.99; the Nasdaq added 14.30, or 0.61 percent, to 2,341.05.
Advancing issues led decliners by 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.99 billion shares from 4.37 billion on Monday.
Bond prices rose, regaining ground after a huge decline on Monday that accompanied the rally on Wall Street. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 3.49 percent from late Monday's 3.55 percent. The yield moved to 3.51 percent in after-hours trading.
The dollar was down against other major currencies, while gold prices rose.
Oil futures wobbled, with some investors selling on new worries about the economy and buying in response to the dollar's latest decline. Light, sweet crude rose 36 cents to settle at $101.22 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Though many on Wall Street expected the latest batch of economic data to be negative and that might have helped investors shake off the bad news there continues to be lingering concerns about consumer spending. The mood on Main Street is critical because consumer spending makes up about 70 percent of economic activity.
The Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index plunged to 64.5 in March from a revised 76.4 in February. The reading — a five-year low — was far below the 73.0 expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson/IFR.
"What is troubling is that consumer confidence took a plunge, and I think we're going to see consumer spending weaken as we go forward," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at New York-based brokerage house Avalon Partners.
Meanwhile. Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller index showed U.S. home prices declined 11.4 percent in January from a year earlier.
In corporate news, Monsanto Co. shares jumped almost 10 percent after the agricultural products company said earnings per share for the second quarter and for all of fiscal 2008 will be stronger than originally projected. Shares rose $10.29, or 9.9 percent, to $114.54, and also helped boost others in the sector.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. shares fell 49 cents to $46,06 after a securities analyst said the bank will end up paying about $65 per share for Bear Stearns. That amount, which includes costs to bring the two companies together, was labeled too high a price for a "deeply troubled company," the Punk, Ziegel and Co. analyst said.
Bear Stearns fell 31 cents, or 2.8 percent, to $10.94 — above the $10 per share buyout price being offered by JPMorgan. There has been some speculation in the market that a higher offer might come before the deal closes.
Yahoo Inc. rose $1.21, or 4.4 percent, to $28.73 on speculation Microsoft Inc. will raise its takeover price for the Internet company beyond $31 per share. Microsoft fell 3 cents to $29.14.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose $3.99, or 0.57 percent, to 705.27.
Investors overseas remained upbeat following the U.S. rallies Monday and last week. Japan's Nikkei stock average finished up 2.12 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.91 percent, Germany's DAX index rose 3.24 percent, and France's CAC-40 rose 3.49 percent.

No one injured in firearm discharge during flight
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The pilot of a US Airways plane may have been mishandling a firearm when it went off in flight, piercing the cockpit wall before the jet landed safely, a federal air marshal said Tuesday.
Airline officials have said the accidental discharge did not endanger the 124 passengers and five crew members over the weekend. But air safety experts said the hole could have caused the plane to rapidly depressurize had it been in a window at a higher altitude.
All people eligible to carry guns in the cockpit carry the same weapon, the .40-caliber semiautomatic H&K USP.
"This is an extremely safe and reliable weapon," said Greg Alter of the Federal Air Marshal Service."It's not going to discharge on its own, is the bottom line."
The pistol discharged snorry before noon Saturday aboard Flight 1536 from Denver to Charlotte, as the plane was at about 8,000 feet and was approaching to land. The photos taken by The Associated Press show a small entry hole in the lower side of the cockpit wall and a small exit hole on the exterior below the cockpit window.
"There are two issues: would they (the crew) have enough oxygen to remain alert," said Earl Dowell, an aeronautical engineering professor at Duke University. "If the crew could no longer control the airplane, that would be a big deal. And the rapid loss of pressure might damage the structure itself."
The gunshot marked the first time a pilot's weapon has been fired on a plane since the flight deck officer program was created following Sept. 11, 2001 Alter said.
The Transportation Security Administration is investigating how the gun discharged.
EAST ASIA
United States accidently ships weapons to Taiwan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Shipping by mistake electrical fuses for an intercontinental ballistic missile to Taiwan raised concerns Tuesday for U.S.-China relations and triggered a broad investigation into the security of Pentagon weapons.
China vehemently opposes U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. Four of the cone-shaped fuses were shipped to Taiwanese officials in Fall 2006 instead of the helicopter batteries they had ordered.
Despite quarterly checks of the inventory, defense officials said they never knew the fuses were gone. Only after months of discussions with Taiwan over the missing batteries did the Pentagon finally realize — late last week — the gravity of what had happened.
Once the error was discovered, the military quickly recovered the four fuses. How it happened, and whether the incident constitutes a violation of any treaty or agreement governing international sales of missile technology, were lingering questions.
At a hastily called news conference Tuesday, Ryan Henry, the No.2 policy official in Defense Secretary Robert Gates' office, said President Bush as well as Chinese leaders were informed of the mistake — an error Henry called intolerable.
"I can not emphasize forcefully enough how strong the secretary feels about this matter and how disconcerting it is to him," Henry told reporters. He added that in an organization the size of the Defense Department there will be mistakes, but that "they cannot be tolerated in the arena in strategic systems, whether they are nuclear or only associated equipment, as was in this case."
In a comment directed at the Chinese concerns, Henry said the error does not suggest that U.S. policies on arms sales to Taiwan have changed.
Taiwan, which split from China
amid civil war in 1949, is the most sensitive issue in U.S.-China relations. Chinese officials repeatedly complained about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan during meetings with Gates in Beijing last fall. The U.S. insists it only provides weapons that would allow Taiwan to defend itself.
Beijing claims Taiwan as its own and has threatened to attack should the self-governing island make its de facto independence formal. Washington has hinted that it would go to war to protect Taiwan.
Gates has ordered a full investigation, and in a memo Tuesday he put Navy Adm. Kirkland H.
Henry said an examination of the site in Taiwan where the components had been stored after delivery indicated that they had not been tampered with. He said the components were "quite dated," as part of a system designed in the 1960s.
The Chinese Embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Taiwan official said Tuesday that the island's diplomats in Washington typically do not comment on Defense Department matters.
Donald in charge and asked that Donald report back with an initial assessment by April 15.

Banks takes stalker to court Man charged with harassing talk-show host
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tyra Banks has been ordered to stay away from the talk-show host or face going to jail.
A man charged with stalking
Brady Green, according to a criminal complaint, has followed Banks from coast to coast since January, sent her letters and flowers, and tried to telephone her. Last week he was issued a court order requiring him to leave her alone.
VIVIAN LUCKY
Banks
The complaint said building custodian Edward Troiano told police Green also had appeared at Banks' Los Angeles studio "on multiple occasions" and asked to speak to her. He said Green had sent her letters and flowers there and had tried to reach her there by telephone at least five times, the complaint said.
Green, of Dublin, Ga., was arrested when he showed up several times March 18 at the Manhattan building where "The Tyra Banks Show" is taped and asked to speak to her, a misdemeanor complaint filed in Criminal Court said.
Police charged Green, 37, with stalking, criminal trespass and harassment. After his arraignment last Wednesday on the charges, Criminal Court Judge Anthony Ferrara released him without bail and ordered him to return to court May 13.
The New York Post said the Chelsea studio staffers were worried about Green returning. The paper said they were handing out photos of Green on Friday with a warning to stay away from him. Prosecutors said they did not have an address for Green, who likely could face up to a year in jail if convicted.
Banks, 34, told police that Green's actions had caused her to fear that she was in danger.

Being a deskie and working for the dorms isn't exactly an easy job, because hell breaks lose almost every weekend.
Dorm residents have always been mixing alcohol with the strict rules of KU residency. As a former Hashie, I've been there and done that. When the majority of freshmen move into the wonders of dorm living, they embrace their freedom by secretly taking a couple of shots behind closed doors and venturing outside to celebrate their independence, but this becomes a problem when these risqué activities aren't performed in moderation.
Going from a resident that must abide by rules to a deskie whom must enforce them, is a major change. At the beginning of last semester, I started my job by answering the phone at the desk and working security shifts on Friday nights. Now, the life of a deskie also includes lack of a consistent sleep pattern because shifts have to be covered 24/7. When the clock strikes 11 p.m. I am stuck working security until 6 a.m. every Friday.
A whole new world presents itself when the sun sinks behind Daisy Hill. When it gets dark, the lights go on in the dorms, and I'm stuck at a desk desperately trying to stay awake, but lately, that hasn't been much of a problem because of the lack of residential cooperation.
I hate busting people in the dorms, but when it's seriously evident that rules are being broken, the deskie side of me has to enforce them. But I've also become a bit bitchy and impatient with the consistent disrespect.
When I say disrespect I mean the things that happen when the night progresses and drunks flood the halls.
Destruction takes place: Ceiling tiles are torn down and broken, posters on walls are destroyed, and a lot of lobby furniture always manages to either be damaged or misplaced. There may even be vomit for us to clean up. It just seems like common sense to respect the surroundings that people live in, but it's not happening.
In a way it's also been entertaining (but annoying) watching
everyone come in around midnight or 1 a.m. wasted. After we set up the desk, almost every resident that comes through complaints about having to swipe their card or check in their guests. I hear this all of the time and frankly, I am a bit sick of hearing it. But sometimes, people can't even swipe their card because they're too drunk.
Some girls will come in, looking like they're about to fall over (a side note: don't wear high heals if you can't walk in them), their make-up is smudged from crying, and they look like they might poke on someone. I also see many girls cry, but the funniest thing I've seen so far was when one girl was screaming and crying into her phone. "I can't believe you danced with her all night at Abe and Jakes!"
Aside from handling pathetic and dramatic situations, people actually play beer pong in their dorms. As a former resident, I wonder what these people think they're doing. It's impossible to pull this off because, surprise! cans and ping-pong balls make noises. I've walked by a few rooms on my rounds and have heard these noises loud and
clear. An occasional, "On no notice missed, I suck at this game," has accompanied these obvious noises as well.
When all of this goes on, a deskie has to do her job. I don't get any joy in writing people up, but honestly, it should be easy for residents to use common sense and common curiously. I absolutely hate cleaning up after residents at 4 a.m., so please, have your fun, but tone it down a bit.

COMMENTARY
Airline policy forces passengers to pack the most into every trip
KIRSTEN HUDSON
I'm finally being forced to pack light. No more cramming that third pair of black heels into my suitcase five minutes before leaving for the airport. No more excuses.
Previously both United Airlines and US Airways allowed two checked bags per passenger free of charge, as is standard for most airlines. Starting May 5 however, they're creating yet another way to irritate passengers, by slapping on a $25 fee for a second checked bag and every other bag after it. This fee doesn't even apply round-trip. You have to pay it both to and from your destination.
Although this new rule didn't affect your spring break travels, it comes just in time for summer getaways. Even if you're not a pack rat
like me, who prefers to lug around a heavy bag rather than not be prepared for a possible freak snowstorm in the Bahamas, this new rule can still make traveling a hassle. Often when traveling, because of those must-have souvenirs you come back with more luggage than you left with. Usually if I'm only traveling with one suitcase to combat this problem I pack a duffle bag to check as my second bag on the way home in case I can't fit everything back into the suitcase. No longer can you fall back on that second bag option though, unless you want to pay the fee that is.
Don't expect to cheat the system by just buying a bigger suitcase. The fee for the second bag isn't the only change in policy. These airlines also increased the fee for over-weight bags from $50 for each bag that goes over the 50 pound weight limit, to $100 per bag.
According to the US Airways Web site, the reason for the changes to their baggage policy is because of high fuel costs. "We've simply had to look at ways to offset our increased operating costs," the Web
site stated. Yet, if these airlines just wanted to decrease operating costs, they would have only created the $25 fee for the second bag, not increased the fee for overweight bags as well. It just seems like another way to gouge customers.
Right now the only airlines with this new policy are United Airlines and US Airways. Other airlines seem to be following suit however. Southwest Airlines recently changed their policy from three to two checked bags per customer free of charge. In order to keep up, other airlines may soon be changing their policies as well.
At what point are airlines going to stop reducing the services passengers have come to expect when flying? Pretty soon passengers will be reduced to nothing more than standardized knapsacks to carry their belongings.
I guess now my only option is to restrain my pack rat tendencies. I probably didn't need that third pair of black heels anyway.

Iraqi forces collide with Shiite
بطاقة شريطة
U.S.-protected area in Baghdad hit by rockets after fighting Tuesday
Iraqi police take defensive positions in Bara, Iraq, 550 kilometers (340 miles) southeast of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday. Iraqi forces clashed with Shite militias in the southern oil port of Bara on Tuesday as a security plan to clamp down on violence rival militia factions in the region began.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Iraqi forces clashed with Shiite militiamen Tuesday in the southern oil port of Basra and rockets rained down on the U.S.-protected Green Zone in Baghdad as followers of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr expanded a nationwide backlash against government crackdowns.
The U.S. Embassy said no deaths or serious casualties were reported in the Green Zone attacks — the second major barrage this week launched from Shite areas. Two rockets landed on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's compound, but did not explode, an Iraqi government security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to disclose the information.
Al-Maliki was in Basra, where he is supervising the operation against the Shiite militia fighters. At least 25 people were killed in the Basra fighting, officials said.
The violence marked a stunning escalation in the confrontation between the Shiite-run government and al-Sadr's forces, who have bitterly complained about the recent arrests of hundreds of backers.
The clashes also threaten to reverse the security gains achieved by U.S. and Iraqi forces. The Bush administration has hailed the decline in violence as a key sign that Iraq is headed for better days.
Al-Sadr declared a unilateral cease-fire last August. That move — along with a U.S. troop buildup and a Sunni alliance with the American forces — has contributed to a steep drop in violence.
But the truce is now under serious pressure. AI-Sadr's allies have grown increasingly angry over U.S.
and Iraqi raids and detentions,
demanding the release of followers.
The cleric recently told his followers that the cease-fire remains in effect but that they were free to defend themselves against attacks.
Al-Sadr's headquarters in Najaf also ordered field commanders with his Mahdi Army militia to go on maximum alert and prepare "to strike the occupiers" — a term used to describe U.S. forces — and their Iraqi allies, a militia officer said. He declined to be identified because he wasn't supposed to release the information.
More than 2,000 supporters of al-Sadr danced through the streets with olive branches and copies of the Quran during demonstrations in Najaf, 100 miles south of Baghdad. Similar protests were held earlier in the day in Baghdad.
Lawmakers from al-Sadr's movement announced in a Baghdad press conference that a general strike campaign — which began in selected neighborhoods of the capital and included the closure of businesses and schools — was being expanded nationwide.
Three police officers were kidnapped from a checkpoint in eastern Baghdad, a police official said on condition on anonymity because he wasn't supposed to release the information.
Stores and schools also were closed in several other predominantly Shiite neighborhoods in the capital, and armed Mahdi Army members were seen patrolling the streets in some Shiite neighborhoods of the capital.
In Basra, Iraqi soldiers and police battled Mahdi fighters for control of key neighborhoods in Iraq's second-largest city, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad. The fighting erupted a
day after al-Maliki flew there and announced the security crackdown against the militias.
AP Television Newsvideo showed smoke from explosions rising over the city and Iraqi soldiers exchanging gunfire with militia members.
Basra accounts for most of Iraq's oil exports, but an oil ministry official, declining to be identified because he wasn't supposed to publicly discuss the sensitive issue, said production and exports had not been affected by the fighting.
Curfews were also imposed in the Shiite cities of Kut, where a large number of Mahdi Army gunmen were seen deploying on the streets, and Nasiriyah.

with security guards of the rival Shiite Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council in Sadr City, police said.
The rising tension led many people in Shiite neighborhoods to stay at home rather than venture into contested streets.
Athra Ali, 27, a government employee who lives in the Hurryiah neighborhood, said she decided not to go to work after seeing many shops closed and streets abandoned
A university lecturer at Baghdad's Mustansiriyah University also said the institution had closed early and sent students home.
Security in Basra had been steadily declining well before the British handed over responsibility for security to the Iraqis on Dec. 16.
Col. Karim al-Zaidi, spokesman
for the Iraq military, said security forces were encountering stiff resistance from Mahdi Army gunmen in the city.
The U.S. military said Tuesday that five suspected militants were killed in Basra while attempting to place a roadside bomb. Ten others were injured after being spotted conducting suspicious activity, the statement said.
British troops remained at their base at the airport outside Basra and were not involved in the ground fighting Tuesday, according to the British Ministry of Defense.
But three British jets provided aerial surveillance for the Iraqi forces, said Maj. Torn Holloway, a military spokesman in Basra.
He said the British jets have not
dropped any bombs because the Iraqi forces "haven't yet asked."
U. S. officials have insisted they are not going after Sadrists who respect the cease-fire. Instead, the Americans are targeting rogue elements, known as "special groups," that the military believes have ties to Iran. Tehran denies that it is fueling the violence.
The U.S. military blamed Iranian-backed Shiite militia factions for a spate of rocket attacks that struck the Green Zone and surrounding areas on Monday.
The Sadrists allege that rival militia factions have infiltrated the security forces and are targeting the movement to gain advantage in elections expected this fall.

Detroit mayor pleads not guilty to affair Kilpatrick said he does not plan to resign from the job despite these charges
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his former top aide pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges they lied under oath about
having an affair.
The mayor and former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty appeared for separate hearings in the scandal that is threatening to prematurely end Kilpatrick's second term.

Lockhart entered not guilty pleas for each of them on charges of perjury, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and misconduct in office. Both were released on personal bonds.
The two are accused of lying under oath about an affair and their roles in the hiring of a top police official. Text messages first reported by the Detroit Free Press revealed a flirty, sometimes explicit, dialogue between the two.

In setting the mayor's personal bond, Lockhart noted defendants generally are restricted to the state of Michigan while their cases are pending. However, given Kilpatrick's position, Lockhart granted him the right to travel anywhere within the United States without prior permission, but said Kilpatrick still must give advance notice to the court.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced the charges on Monday after an investigation that began in late January after the Detroit Free Press published excerpts from 14,000 text messages that were sent or received in 2002-03 from Beatty's city-issued pager.
Attorney for Kilpatrick and Beatty have said their clients will be exonerated.
The messages called into question testimony Kilpatrick and Beatty gave last August in a lawsuit filed by two police officers who said they were fired for investigating claims that the mayor used his security unit to cover up extra-marital affairs.
In court, Kilpatrick and Beatty
strongly denied having an intimate relationship. But the steamy text messages revealed a dialogue about where to meet and how to conceal their trysts.
Kilpatrick, 37, is married with three children. Beatty, also 37, was married at the time and has two children.
The city eventually agreed to pay $8.4 million to the two officers and a third former officer. Some of the charges brought against the mayor accuse him of agreeing to the settlement in an effort to keep the text messages from becoming public.
"I'm madly in love with you." Kilpatrick wrote on Oct. 3, 2002.
On Oct. 16, 2002, Kilpatrick wrote: "I've been dreaming all day about having you all to myself for 3 days. Relaxing, laughing, talking, sleeping and making love."
"I hope you feel that way for a long time," Beatty replied. "In case you haven't noticed, I am madly in love with you, too!"
All of the charges against the mayor are felonies. Under the city charter, a felony conviction would mean the mayor's immediate expulsion.

A booking photo released by the Wayne County Sheriff's Department Monday shows Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick was charged with perjury and other offenses Monday — and got a stern lecture about the importance of telling the truth
— after a trove of raunchy text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with his chief aide.
Kilpatrick has said he will not resign, and his attorney, Dan Webb, said forcing him to step down now would punish the mayor before he has had his day in court.

Rising water levels threaten Midwest towns
Last week's torrential rain linked to 17 deaths, severe flooding
ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE HUNTING FOR GOATS
John and Sue Ann Calhoun, relocate their pygmy goats from their flooded property outside of Des Arc, Ark., Monday. The White River flooded low-lying areas of Des Arc on Monday and continued to rise, as other towns along the river were warned they could suffer their worst flooding in more than a quarter-century.
DES ARC, Ark. — Sandbagging shored up a weakened levee along the White River on Tuesday and relieved a threat that it would fail as a major flood crest moved down the waterway, emergency management officials said.
Although the rural levee in central Arkansas was leaking in spots, it was holding. Officials told residents it was safe to stay in Des Arc, after urging them to evacuate earlier in the day.
"We're just kind of monitoring the water right now. As far as we know from the Corps of Engineers, it's safe to stay," said Prairie County Sheriff Gary Burnett.
Elsewhere in Arkansas, state and federal teams prepared to examine flood-damaged buildings and businesses.
Bob Alvey, a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said he expected nine teams to spread across counties in northwest Arkansas first, then move to Arkansas' prairie, where the White River is threatening communities.
"We're hitting areas we can get to because a lot of areas we can't get to." Alvey said Tuesday morning. State and federal officials planned an afternoon news conference Tuesday to provide an update on damages.
The White River swelled after last week's storms, which devastated large parts of the Midwest.
The river had risen about 7 feet in four days at Des Arc and was expected to crest Tuesday afternoon at 33.5 feet, the National Weather Service estimated.
On Monday, water poured into Bayou Des Arc, an area just north of the town of 1,900, damaging scattered homes and cabins. Downtown Des Arc is on a rise and was not in immediate danger.
Last week's torrential rain caused flooding in parts of Ohio, Indiana and southern Illinois, and in wide areas of Missouri. At least 17 deaths have been linked to the weather.
Although wide areas of Missouri were especially hard-hit, the city of Cape Girardeau, which had record flooding in 1993, narrowly escaped serious problems this time. The Mississippi River crested there early Monday at 41.04 feet, a foot shy of the level that causes serious flooding, the weather service said.
Flood gates protecting the city's business district were closed Monday and will stay closed until the river drops to below 36 feet.
There was some minor flooding Monday in Cape Girardeau's northeast section.
River towns south of the point where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers meet at Cairo, Ill., could see
flooding in the next few days.
Meanwhile, a federal judge in St. Louis refused on Tuesday to stop the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from raising water levels on the Missouri River this
week. Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to stop the action, claiming it could add to downstream flooding.
The corps usually releases
extra water in March, and again in May, to prompt spawning of the endangered pallid sturgeon. The corps was expected to decide later Tuesday whether to release water after midnight.
AIRLINES
Law regulating delayed planes struck down
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - A federal appeals court Tuesday struck down a state law requiring airlines to give food, water, clean toilets and fresh air to passengers stuck in delayed planes, saying the measure was well-intentioned but stepped on federal authority.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said New York's law — the first of its kind in the country — interferes with federal law governing the price, route or service of an air carrier.
The law was passed after thousands of passengers were stranded aboard airplanes for up to 10 hours on several JetBlue Airways flights at Kennedy International Airport on Valentine's Day last year. They complained they were deprived of food and water and that soilets overflowed. A month later, hundreds more passengers of other airlines were stranded aboard planes at JFK after a daylong ice storm.
The law was challenged by the Air Transport Association of America, the industry trade group representing leading U.S. airlines.
The court said that while the goals of the law were "laudable" and the circumstances prompting its adoption "deplorable," only the federal government has the authority to pass such regulations.
"If New York's view regarding the scope of its regulatory authority carried the day, another state could be free to enact a law prohibiting the service of soda on flights departing from its airports, while another
could require allergen-free food options on its outbound flights, unraveling the centralized federal framework for air travel," the court wrote.
Assemblyman Michael Gianaris, the prime sponsor of New York Airline Passenger Bill of Rights, said in a statement that the ruling "is a disappointment to anyone who has suffered at the hands of airlines that care more about profits than their customers."
"This is far from over," the Democrat said. Options for proponents of the law include an appeal, a new law or putting pressure on the federal government to create similar rules for long-delayed flights.
In a statement, the air transport association said the ruling vindicates its position that airline services are regulated by the federal government and that a "patchwork" of state and local measures would not benefit customers.
A recent federal report showed that about 24 percent of flights nationally arrived late in the first 10 months of last year, which was the industry's second-worst performance record since comparable data began being collected in 1995.
During appellate arguments earlier this month, Seth Waxman, a lawyer for the trade group, said a dozen other states and Congress were considering laws similar to New York's.
Kennedy airport had the third-worst on-time arrival record of any major U.S. airport through October, behind the New York area's other two major airports, LaGuardia and Newark, according to the report.

The court said Bush exceeded his authority when he tried to intervene on behalf of Jose Ernesto Medellin, facing the death penalty for killing two teenagers nearly 15 years ago.
Bush's request in death row case denied
A Texas prosecutor whose office won a conviction against Medellin said she would ask for an execution date to be set as soon as the high court resolves a separate case over a challenge to lethal injection procedures. The court also could dispose of the cases of seven other Mexicans on death row in Texas as early as Monday.
The Constitution "allows the president to execute the laws, not make them," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in a rebuke of the president in a case that mixed presidential power, international relations and the death penalty.
Roberts, in the unfamiliar role
She noted that the administration's position in the case was focused on the authority it believed the president has to compel a state to comply with international agreements. "The argument of the United States in this case in no way condoned or defended the heinous crime," Perino said.
Justice Stephen Breyer, in dissent, said the decision calls into question U.S. obligations under international treaties and makes it "more difficult to negotiate new ones."
By a 6-3 vote, the court said Texas does not have to give a new hearing to death row prisoner
administration argued that the president's declaration is reason enough for Texas to grant Medellin a new hearing.
White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush was disappointed with the decision and is now reviewing it to see how it might impact international relations.
Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas joined Roberts' opinion.
Bush, who oversaw 152 executions as Texas governor, disagreed with the decision. But he said it must be carried out by state courts because the United States had agreed to abide by the world court's rulings in such cases. The
of limiting presidential power, said the international court decision cannot be forced upon the states.
Some legal commentators said the decision could have far-reaching implications for other international agreements involving the United States if they cannot be enforced within the United States.
The president may not "establish binding rules of decision that preempt contrary state law," Roberts said. Neither does the treaty, by itself, require individual states to take action, he said.
The International Court of Justice, also known as the world court, said the Mexican prisoners should have new court hearings to determine whether the violation affected their cases.
Breyer, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter, said the international court judgment should be enforced.
Medellin, a former Houston gang member who is now 33.
The president was in the unusual position of siding with Medellin, a Mexican citizen whom police prevented from consulting with Mexican diplomats, as provided by international treaty.
Justice John Paul Stevens did not sign onto the majority opinion but agreed with the outcome of the case and said nothing prevents Texas from giving Medellin another hearing even though it is not compelled to do so.
An international court ruled in 2004 that the convictions of Medellin and 50 other Mexicans on death row around the United States violated the 1963 Vienna Convention, which provides that people arrested abroad should have access to their home country's consular officials.

thought to be hijacker's SEATTLE — The FBI is analyzing a torn, tangled parachute found buried by children in southwest Washington to determine whether it might have been used by famed plane hijacker D.B. Cooper, the agency said Tuesday.
The children had seen recent media coverage of the case — the FBI launched a publicity campaign last fall, hoping to generate tips to solve the 36-year-old mystery — and they urged their dad to call the agency.
A man identifying himself as Dan Cooper — later mistakenly but enduringly identified as D.B. Cooper — hijacked a Northwest Orient flight from Portland, Ore., to Seattle in November 1971, claiming he had a bomb.

City begins road maintenance project
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
The 2008 Street Maintenance Program started yesterday afternoon when Missouri Pavement and Maintenance Inc.'s bid won a
$300,000 crack seal project.
The companies will work on the area north of Sixth Street, between M c D o n a l d Drive and the river, as well as the area north of Princeton Street and west of Iowa Street.
There are seven more streets to bid on.
23rd streets. The "student ghetto" will see Kentucky Street repaved from Sixth to 12th streets.
Those streets should take four to six weeks to complete, Mezger said.
Projects on Massachusetts Street have caused trouble for some businesses in the past because they shut down access to their side of the street and block customers off from local shops and restaurants.
The most notable road repaving projects remaining to be bid on include parts of downtown and "student ghetto" areas, the intersection at 19th and Louisiana streets, and Iowa Street from 23rd to 31st streets.
According to Dena Mezger, Lawrence assistant public works director, 19th Street will be closed to traffic from Tennessee to Alabama all summer long.
Dena Mezger, Lawrence assistant public works director, said the intersection at 19th and Louisiana streets would probably affect drivers the most because 19th Street would be closed to traffic from Tennessee to Alabama streets all summer long. She said the project should be finished by Aug. 4.

Pita Pit, 1011 Massachusetts St., said his restaurant had to deal with about three to four months of roadwork, which had a negative effect on its business.
The Iowa Street project will also affect drivers this summer.
The five-lane road will be reduced to a two-to-three lane street from 23rd to 31 streets on Iowa Street.

Antarctic ice shelf collapses
WASHINGTON — A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday.
Satellite images show the runaway disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica, which started Feb. 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds, maybe 1,500 years. This is the result of global warming, said British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan. Because scientists noticed satellite images within hours, they diverted satellite cameras and even flew an airplane over the ongoing collapse for rare pictures and video.
While icebergs naturally break away from the mainland, collapses like this are unusual but are happening more frequently in recent decades, Vaughan said. The collapse is similar to what happens to hardened glass when it is smashed with a hammer, he said.
The rest of the Wilkins ice shelf, which is about the size of Connecticut, is holding on by a narrow beam of thin ice. Scientists worry that it too may collapse. Larger, more dramatic ice collapses occurred in 2002 and 1995.
Vaughan had predicted the Wilkins shelf would collapse about 15 years from now. The part that recently gave way makes up about 4 percent of the overall shelf, but it's an important part that can trigger further collapse.

Freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters crosses home plate after crushing a home run over the right field wall. Waters drove in one on the play, hitting 2- against "Chicago State University, Kansas defeated the Cougars' 6-4 Tuesday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark."
BY SHAWN SHROYER
NOTES
sshroyer@kansan.com
Coming off a week where Kansas allowed 51 runs in six games, coach Ritch Price called out his veteran pitchers. Junior left-hander Sam Freeman answered Price's challenge Tuesday afternoon.
In his six innings of work, Freeman allowed just one run, which came in the third inning off a back-to-back triple and single. Freeman scattered six hits, hit a batter and surrendered no walks in a smooth, 74-pitch outing.
"That gives him four days rest before he pitches on the fifth day this weekend," Price said. "I think he had 74 pitches, so that was just about perfect for his outing."
In six innings, Freeman dominated Chicago State hitters, striking out a season high six batters and improving his perfect record to a 4-0. With Freeman cruising on the mound, the Kansas offense didn't have to do much, and it didn't until the fifth inning. Eventually, the Jayhawk (16-9) bats gave Freeman enough support to pull away from the Cougars (3-16) for a 6-4 victory.
"He gets better as the game goes on," Price said. "It happened in Texas, too, when his velocity was even better in the seventh inning than it was at the start of the game. He's got a great arm."
Freeman bided his time in racking up his six strikeouts. After not recording a 'K' in the first inning, Freeman struck out one batter an inning until setting down two on strikes in the sixth.
However, not until the fifth inning did Freeman receive some assurance that his efforts would be rewarded with a victory.
Chicago State's run in the third tied the game 1-1. Not until a double by senior left fielder John Allman in the bottom of the fourth that drove in sophomore second baseman Robby Price did the Jayhawks begin to pull ahead.
"I was really disappointed in our performance offensively." Price said. "We just don't string 27 quality at-bats in a row as a team."
The fifth inning was when Kansas did its most damage. Freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters sparked the Kansas offense with a two-out home run to right-center field, which was the first of his Kansas career. The Jayhawks tacked on three more runs in the inning to take a 6-1 lead.
But, yet again, Freeman found himself at risk of missing out on the victory as the Kansas bullpen made it interesting in the top of the ninth. Nine Cougars batted in the inning, forcing junior closer Paul Smyth to come in relief of junior left-hander Daniel Manos with no outs and the bases loaded. Smyth allowed a single and hit two batters to let Chicago State come within two runs before nailing down his sixth save of the season.
he got in the game and he got in trouble and he found a way to get out of trouble because that's basically what his role is."
"Smyth has had some trouble in the past when the bases are loaded, for whatever reason that is", Price said. "It was good that
At times it looked like Freeman needed to finish the game himself. If he wasn't slated to pitch Sunday, he said he could have.

Freshman guard Tyrel Reed uses his cell phone during media interviews in the Kansas lockerroom after Kansas's victory against UNLV. Reed and the other freshmen haven't played much this March, but the foursome said they were enjoying the ride and preparing for the future.
"Oh, I could have finished," Freeman said.

Kansas' game today with Chicago has been moved up from 3 p.m. to 1 p.m. due to scheduling conflicts for the Cougars. Kansas added a nightcap with Benedictine College (9-7) today at 6 p.m. Sophomore left-hander Shafere Hall (1-1) will start game one and senior right-hander Hiarali Garcia (1-0) will start game two.
Senior right fielder Ryne Price has 31 RBI in March, putting him on pace for 79 this season, which would be just six shy of the school record for RBI in a season. Price, who's had just four games without an RBI this month, had 31 RBI all of last season.

Freshman quartet bide time for the big-time

A few lockers away, Chase Buford chatted with junior Brennan Bechard. Next to Buford sat Cole Aldrich, his burly shoulders hunched over, giving a local T.V. reporter a dose of his cheery Minnesota charm.

Reporters crammed into Kansas' locker room like tetris blocks, circling Kansas' regulars, who had just punched their second straight ticket to the Sweet Sixteen with a convincing 75-56 victory against UNLV.
Reed, Teahan, Buford and Aldrich sat quietly - a part of the madness, but unmistakably in the shadows.
"You can just see how big the NCAA tournament is." Teahan said, sitting in front of his locker after the UNLV game. "We're expected to go so far, you get it, and you want to be able to do the same."
The quartet is content to sit back this season as Kansas' blue-chip upperclassmen lead. But don't call them the forgotten four. Kansas' four-man freshman class is relishing this NCAA tournament ride, taking notes, and patiently waiting for its chance at the big-time.

refreshing "always happy to see you" smile, to his lumberjack hands, you'd half-expect Aldrich to douse meal with maplesyrup and recite lines from "Fargo" as he sets a high-ball screen.
Unlike the aforementioned trio, Aldrich left his home state for college. The then 6-foot-10 forward with the impressive wingspan chose Kansas, a school that had been high on his list for years.
"The list goes on and on." Aldrich said.
Aldrich's first season hasn't been without a few speed bumps.
Aldrich said he struggled to adjust to the speed of the college game. Kansas' big-men were stronger, faster and more experienced.
Aldrich's growing pains were magnified at Late Night in the Phog, as he struggled on offense and with simple tasks like catching post entry passes.
Frustrated with his slow transition to college ball, Aldrich called his old Jefferson High teammate, Steven Wheeler. He had a question for Wheeler, a sophomore guard on the Amherst College basketball team.
"Was it as tough for you as it was for me?" Aldrich asked Wheeler.
"Yea." Wheeler said, reassuring his friend that most people struggled to adjust to college basketball. "It ain't easy."
Aldrich soon found his niche in Kansas' rotation as the Jayhawks fourth big man.
COMMENTARY
Aldrich is averaging 2.9 points and 3.1 rebounds, while playing 8.4 minutes a game, and the freshman center had 11 points and 11 rebounds in Kansas' 109-51 victory against Tech Texas on senior night.
"I knew coming in I wasn't going to be looked upon to be a scorer," Aldrich said. "My thing right now is being able to block shots, play defense and grab rebounds."
"He's going to be a great player for this program," senior forward Darnell Jackson said. "He has a lot in his package, even though he's young and he doesn't know the

Women's basketball deserves support
OK, so here's the deal: I've been called a Kansas sports fanatic. I've seen just about every minute of every game that the football and men's basketball teams have played in the last five years. I've traveled to Miami to see an Orange Bowl victory and Kansas City, Mo., to see a Big 12 Basketball Championship.

But a small thought has always gnawed at me: How can I consider myself a true Kansas sports fan if I have never supported any team outside of those two?
I thought I had lost my last chance to watch a women's game at Allen Fieldhouse when I passed on watching the last regular season game against Kansas State. I was wrong. When I received an e-mail informing me that the team would be playing host to a WNIT game, I knew I had received my reprieve. This was an opportunity to shed my "fraud" label, and I wouldn't pass it up.
But first I had to find someone to go with. I quickly found that most of my "diehard" Kansas sports fan friends had no interest in watching a women's basketball game.
.
"But the ticket is free for students!" I pleaded. "And this is the playoffs. Seriously, how many times will you be able to watch a postseason game in the fieldhouse?"
Fine. Those fair-weather Jayhawk fans could stay home. I'd go by myself. And so I made my way to the fieldhouse on Monday night, solo-style. I was clad in all my Jayhawk regalia; the grey KU hooded sweatshirt, the Jayhawk hat, even the KU wristwatch. I was ready for battle.
My overtures were shot down, so I turned my attention to female friends. I failed there as well. One by one, the people in my phone book told me they were too busy or had no interest.
As I walked to the fieldhouse just before tipoff, only a few people milled around outside. I wondered if maybe I had gotten the wrong time. There was no line to get in.
When I entered the arena, I asked the usher where the students were to sit.
"There won't be many people here, so you can sit wherever," he said.
I chose to sit five rows behind the Jayhawk bench. It was close enough to listen to coach Bonnie Henrickson's strategy sessions during timeouts. It was also close enough that I could have told freshman center Krysten Boogaard that her brother, Derek, was my favorite NHL player, or asked sophomore guard Kelly Kohn for her phone number.
Well, fair enough!
But that would have been inappropriate, so I instead looked around the arena. It was like a bizarro men's game. Behind both baskets the seats were basically empty. A smattering of people sat in the blue lower level seats generally saved for high-paying donors at men's games.
I saw other people sitting alone, a speck in a sea of empty blue seats; this in turn didn't make me feel alone. My mind wandered: What was going on in their lives? Were they stood up? Are they true diehard women's basketball fans? Did they find this cathartic?
The amount of students in attendance could have been counted on fin-

Boston Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez reacts after hitting a two-run double off Oakland Athletics' Huston Street as Athletics second baseman Mark Ellis looks on in the 10th inning of the Major League Baseball regular season opener at Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, Tuesday. Boston won the game 6-5. Ramirez was presented with an oversized check for 1,000,000 yen after being named MVP of the game.
TOKYO — Boston, Japan, it doesn't matter: Manny Ramirez strikes a winning pose for the Boston Red Sox.
In the earliest major league opener, the Red Sox started their World Series title defense with a signature Manny moment.
Ramirez stood frozen in the batter's box, admiring his 10thinning drive to center field off Huston Street, thinking it would be a three-run homer. Instead, the ball bounced off the wall for his second two-run double, good enough to lift the Red Sox over the Oakland Athletics 6-5 on Tuesday night.
A crowd of 44,628, including fans from Boston, cheered at the Tokyo Dome, which hosted baseball's opener for the third time in nine years. It was 6:10 a.m. back in Boston when the season began, and organizers tried to make it feel like Fenway Park by playing "Sweet Caroline" after the last out.
Ramirez, starting the final guaranteed season of his eight-year contract, hit a tying, two-run double in the sixth inning, and rookie Brandon Moss hit an RBI single that gave Boston a 3-2 lead and chased Oakland starter Joe Blanton.

INVESTIGATION
Questions surround testimony
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The top Republican on the congressional committee that investigated whether Roger Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs released a report Tuesday questioning the Democratic majority's conclusion that the seven-time Cy Young Award winner might have lied in his testimony before the panel last month.
The 109-page report, obtained by The Associated Press, contains details Rep. Tom Davis believes could challenge the credibility of Brian McNamee, the personal trainer who testified under oath he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone from 1989-01.
Republican staff from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will pass along additional information to the Justice Department. The FBI is investigating whether Clemens lied to Congress.
The report includes portions of previously undisclosed interviews with new witnesses and addresses issues such as whether Clemens attended a party at then-teammate Jose Canseco's house in 1998; information about injections of vitamin B-12; and whether Clemens developed an abscess on his buttocks.
The report — "Weighing the Committee Record: A Balanced Reviewofthe EvidenceRegarding Performance Enhancing Drugs in Baseball" — stands as a counterpoint to the 18-page memo released Feb. 27 by chairman Henry Waxman.
That was the day Waxman and Davis asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to open an investigation into whether Clemens committed perjury, The following day, the Justice Department told the FBI to take up the matter.
Waxman's memo to Democratic staff outlined the reasons for the criminal referral, summarizing "seven sets of assertions made by Mr. Clemens in his testimony that appear to be contradicted by other evidence before the committee or implausible."
Those areas involve Clemens' testimony that he has "never taken steroids or HGH"; that McNamee injected him with the painkiller lidocaine; that team trainers gave him pain injections; that he received many vitamin B-12 injections; that he never discussed HGH with McNamee; that he was not at Canseco's home from June 8-10, 1998, when their Toronto Blue Jays played a series at the Florida Marlins; and that he was "never told" about baseball investigator George Mitchell's request to speak before Mitchell issued his report containing McNamee's allegations.
After the Feb. 13 hearing — at which McNamee repeated his accusations and Clemens repeated his denials, both under oath and under questioning from lawmakers — the minority staff conducted interviews with additional witnesses.
Among them were a man who said he played golf with Clemens, a friend of Canseco's, and Blue Jays traveling secretary John Brioux, who say Clemens was not at Canseco's 1998 party.
Tuesday's report also points out conflicts between testimony by McNamee and Andy Pettitte, the New York Yankees pitcher who was a teammate and friend of Clemens.
And the Republicans question why the Democrats cast doubt on Clemens' testimony that he received B-12 shots because teams' medical records do not show such injections; the minority report notes that Yankees trainer Gene Monahan testified his team did not always keep records about B-12. And the report mentions interviews with two team doctors and two trainers about whether Clemens had an abscess, but no witness corroborated McNamee's testimony on that subject.

COMMENTARY
Surprises in Midwest
Villanova stands in Kansas' way for trip to Final Four
BY BEN ASHWORTH
IN MEMORY OF JOHN HENDERSON
As soon as Selection Sunday passed, four teams appeared in the majority of brackets submitted for the Midwest's Sweet 16 according to Yahoo and Facebook brackets. Kansas, along with Clemson, Wisconsin and Georgetown, had become the popular picks, with the occasional guesses of Vanderbilt, USC or Kansas State.
Now, about a week later, the Sweet 16 has been determined, with the upstart pair of Wildcats in Villanova and Davidson, the pride of the Big
Ten, Wisconsin, and the favorite, Kansas. While this foursome is filled with surprises, it will in no way be a cakewalk to the Final Four for the Jayhawks.
Many thought Villanova was undeserving of a spot in the Big Dance, taking away a spot that should have gone to Arizona State or Virginia Tech. As the lowest atlarge berth, they matched up with the Clemson Tigers; a squad that beat Duke and threatened Tyler Hansbrough and North Carolina three times this year. They were a reason why many pundits labeled the ACC the best conference, as a main criticism had been the lack of depth outside of Duke and North Carolina. And in the first half, Clemson was up by as many as eighteen.
Kansas is the favored team to make it to the Final Four from the Midwest Region.
However, whatever halftime speech Clemson coach Oliver Purnell made most likely found itself in the trash, and Villanova came back for the unprecedented upset. They stuck to their game plan, which had come under scrutiny in the first half, and won the game by making foul shots, allowing no easy baskets and relying on star player Scottie Reynolds. They then rode that momentum into a game against Siena, in which Villanova never trailed.
Villanova is a guard-oriented offense under coach Jay Wright,
just as they were two years ago when they ran the well-publicized four-guard offense with future pros Kyle Lowry and Randy Foye. That year they were a No.1 seed and lost in the Elite Eight to eventual champion Florida.
to come by.
A fivegame losing streak including a loss to Rutgers and a 20-point blowout against St. Joseph's
reflected this, as did earlier losses to programs such as North Carolina State and DePaul. As they collected themselves as a team, they added victories against Pittsburgh, Connecticut and West Virginia to their resumes, and they lost by one in an extremely controversial game against Georgetown in which a touch foul 70 feet from the basket was called with 0.1 seconds remaining, leading to Georgetown's winning free throws.
Since digging a 36-18 hole against Clemson in the first round,
Villanova has outscored its opponents by a total of 36 points. The Wildcats have found their identity in their renewed strong guard play and their
24 consecutive games, the best streak in the NCAA. Though at times the Big Ten appeared to be a conference where interesting and high-scoring basketball went to die, it was still a competitive major conference. Wisconsin's defense is its claim to fame, holding offenses like Indiana to 49 points and Michigan State to 42. The Badgers shut down Kansas State's pride and joy, Michael Beasley, in the second half, most likely ending Beasley's short yet dominating NCAA career. They have also won 12 in a row and own an early season victory over Texas.
Meanwhile, Davidson has been compared to George Mason as an underdog who could make a run to the Final Four. Their decorated star Stephen Curry looks like a 15-year-old, but as soon as you underestimate him, he scores 30.
As a team that starts no one over 6-foot-8, they held Georgetown's giant, Roy Hibbert, to six points and caused him to foul out. Not only can they score at will, as evidenced by 47 points tallied in the second half, but during a 10-minute stretch in the second half, they held Georgetown to four points. They are not new to playing accomplished teams either, for although their conference opponents were not exactly stimulating, they played Duke, North Carolina, and UCLA respectably early in the year.
Any Kansas fan who believes a ticket to the Final Four is virtually punched will be biting their
Since trailing 36-18 to Clemson in the first round, Villanova has outscored its opponents by a total of 36 points.
defense. Reynolds is playing like an All-American as a sophomore and they found the ability to calm a hot Siena team, which ran over Vanderbilt like a Hummer over a possum.
Looking ahead to potential Elite Eight matchups sees two looming teams in Wisconsin and Davidson. Wisconsin won the Big Ten, and Davidson has won
fingernails during the next one or two games. The teams are talented and itch to beat the favorite. I recommend waiting before buying a ticket to San Antonio and realizing that although Kansas is the favorite to come out of the Midwest, this team should not be complacent. After all, stranger things than a Kansas loss have happened already in the first weekend.

Aussie adjusts to KU life
Formosthigh school seniors, picking a college includes a lot of trips, visits and meetings. For freshman
Grace Thirty, phone calls, letters and videos were her tools for choosing a school.
I will help you to recognize the text in the image. Here's what I see:
"For me,
I didn't come
for a visit,"
Thiry said.
"I just liked
Thiry
the sound of the program and the coaches there"
Thiry is from Victoria, Australia, where she attended Mount St. Joseph's High School before venturing across the Pacific Ocean to Kansas. For Thiry, it made more sense to be able to attend a school while being able to play the sport she loves. She found this love as a member of KU's women's golf team.
"She's a great girl," Coach Erin O'Neal said. "It was a big risk for her, to come without seeing campus in person, but I knew she was a good player."
"There's no opportunity (in Australia) for golf and school together, you either go to school, or play golf," Thiry said.
Finishing 7th, 20th and 24th in three tournaments this year proved Thiry as the second most consistent Jayhawk, behind sophomore Emily Powers.
Without Thiry being able to see the campus in person, O'Neal said
she recruited Thiry by using videos of campus and of Thiry herself to examine her swing.
O'Neal said she understood the switch from high school to college was a great one, with even more pressure on Thiry because she is from another country.
"Plenty of times kids are good in high school then come to college and just don't have it," O'Neal said. "But she's been able to jump right in and contribute."
Thiry said she also understood that adapting to a new country and culture was difficult but said that she took it one step at a time.
"A lot of people are so into foot-
sat over here." Thiry said. "But it's not too different from home, Kansas is a good second home."
Being able to speak the same language here is also a huge help for Thiry, which cannot be said for her two other
international teammates, freshman Meghna Bal, from New Delhi, and sophomore Camilla Svensson, from Gothenburg, Sweden. But the international trio still rely on each other throughout the season.
O'Neal said she also saw the bond.
"It definitely helps to have international students other than me here, were all in the same boat," Thiry said.
"Growing up, it was just individual, but now in college it's a team, so it's a different experience to get used to."
O'Neal said. "They lean on each other for support."
"They can relate to each other."
Not only has Thiry had to adjust to the new culture, but also the sporadic Kansas weather.
"She's used to 100 degree temperatures, and now it can be 5 (degrees here sometimes), O'Neal said.
"I started when I was around 10," Thiry said. "At first, I went to junior clinics, then I played with my dad and sister."
As for golf, Thiry's father got her started into the game.
This is also the first time Thiry has been apart of an actual golf team.

teammates and now she has people in Kansas she can rely on.
"It makes it so much easier once you're acquainted with teammates," Thiry said. "So many familiar faces there to help for you." Whether it's putting birdies in the hole, or just getting to class, this Jayhawk from down under seems to be standing up well.

Players struggle during spring training
Brandon Webb and Roy Halladay probably wouldn't mind another spring training tuneup, if there was any time left.
Both former Cy Young Award winners struggled through their final exhibition starts, while the Chicago Cubs added Reed Johnson to their outfield Tuesday and the Chicago White Sox settled on Joe Crede at third base.
Hours before, the regular season began in Japan, where the Boston Red Sox started their World Series title defense with an extra-inning victory over Oakland in the earliest major league opener ever.
Back in Florida and Arizona, several top pitchers prepared for their opening-day outings — and not all of them looked sharp.
Webb allowed seven runs — five earned — and 10 hits while throwing two wild pitches in 4-1-3 innings of the Diamondbacks' 9-8 loss to the Los Angeles Angels in Tucson, Ariz.
"Honestly, I'm not where I want to be. Definitely not in midseason form by any means," Webb said.
The 2006 NL Cy Young Award winner, Webb has an 8.50 ERA through 18 innings this spring.
Hallady was betrayed by bad defense and his own mistakes while giving up 10 runs, four earned, in
a horrible fifth inning. Tampa Bay went on to beat the Blue Jays 10-0 in Dunedin, Fla.
The Rays' first 10 batters scored in the fifth on six hits and five Toronto errors three by second baseman John Tolisano.
"It's baseball, it happens." Halladay said. "I just didn't change speeds very good once things started going. I thought my location was good, but I didn't mix pitches very well."
Halladay, the 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner, never made it through the fifth. He gave up nine hits in all while walking one and striking out three on 76 pitches, 51 strikes, in four-plus innings.

Ford Field
This is just the second weekend of the tournament, but the atmosphere of Detroit's Ford Field will make the games seem like a Final Four. The basketball court is going to be placed at the 50-yard line of the stadium, where the Detroit Lions play football. More than 50,000 fans are expected to be able to attend.
That kind of atmosphere could be daunting to some players but not to Brandon Rush. He didn't even know they were playing at Ford Field. He thought they were playing at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the arena where they lost to Bradley in 2006.
"I didn't know that." Rush said about the football stadium. "I can't wait."
Feeling fine
Rodrick Stewart was holed up in his hotel room during the Kansas, UNLV game on Saturday because of tonsillitis. He's practicing now and feeling much better. Stewart said he started feeling sick last Thursday, and it just got worse after KU's opening round game against Portland State. He spent Friday and Saturday night cramping and sweating.
Sherron Collins is also closer to feeling like his old self. He collided with Stewart during a practice last week and bumped his left knee. Kansas coach Bill Self held him out of practice on Friday, but Collins has been practicing so far this week.
Scottie does know
Villanova's Scottie Reynolds knows how to do just about everything on the basketball court. The sophomore guard leads the team in points and assists and averages 3.1 rebounds a game. He scored 40 points against Connecticut last year as a freshman. Self compared him to Texas' D.J. Augustin because Reynolds always has the ball in his hands. Russell Robinson had the pleasure of guarding Augustin twice this season, and he knows that Reynolds will provide a similar challenge.
"He's unorthodox," Robinson said, "but he can get a shot off anytime he wants. He can shoot it and drive it. He's slow but quick in the same sense."
Ouch, this cut could still
hurt.
Villanova coach Jay Wright also coached the USA Basketball Team in the Pan American games this summer. You might recall that guards Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins were invited to try out. They didn't make the final cut. Self said Wright didn't personally make the cut. A committee made the final decisions. That doesn't mean Chalmers and Collins won't have a little revenge on their minds Friday night against Wright's team.
"They'll be motivated maybe because he was coaching the team," Self said, "but he wasn't the person who had the final say in them not making the team."

This is the time in the NCAA tournament when basketball fans love to root for those double-digit-seeded underdogs and all those fuzzy stories that come along with those stunning — and bracket busting — upsetts.

For once, though, the gear of the Colorado Rockies rookie second baseman isn't bound for Triple-A Colorado Springs at the conclusion of spring training.
Nix earned a big-league job thanks to his stellar defense, plus a sprinkling of offense.
The Rockies were holding open auditions this spring for the second base job following the departure of Kaz Mastui. Nix beat out the likes of Jeff Baker, Clint Barmes, Marcus Giles and Ian Stewart for the first crack at starting.
The team knew Nix was solid in the field, the concern was over his bat. So far this spring, he's hitting .300, mostly from the No. 8 spot in the batting order.

France snubs opening ceremony
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — French President Nicolas Sarkozy suggested Tuesday that a boycott of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was a possibility — the first world leader to raise the prospect of punishing China over its ongoing crackdown in Tibet.
The United States, Britain and Germany all condemned China for using force against Tibetan protesters, but they stopped short of threatening to boycott the games or the Aug. 8 opening ceremony.
China, meanwhile, showed no sign of letting up on its crack-down. At least two people were killed in a clash between protesters and police in an area of western China that borders on Tibet
"Our Chinese friends must understand the worldwide concern that there is about the question of Tibet."
state media and human rights groups reported Tuesday.
The clashes were the latest in most sustained uprising against Chinese rule in almost two decades.
criticism in France for his relative silence on the issue, couched his comments cautiously: He made it clear that skipping the ceremony was one of several possible French responses to the violence in Tibet.
Chinese rule in almost two decades a challenge that has put China's human rights record in the international spotlight, embarrassing and frustrating a Communist leadership that had hoped for a smooth run-up to the Olympic Games.
Asked whether he supported a boycott, Sarkozy said he could "not
China's response has also pushed human rights campaigners and governments to re-examine their approach to the Olympics.
"Our Chinese friends must understand the worldwide concern that there is about the question of Tibet, and I will adapt my response to the evolutions in the situation that will come, I hope, as rapidly as possible," he said in southwest France.
NICOLAS SARKOZY President of France
close the door to any possibility."
Sarkozy, who had faced rising
His aides confirmed that Sarkozy was talking only about the opening ceremony. His ministers have repeatedly said France does not support a
boycott of the games.
The timing of Sarkozy's comments appeared aimed at persuading other world leaders to join him. He travels Wednesday to Britain, host of the 2012 Olympics, and European Union foreign ministers meet Friday.
British officials have ruled out a boycott, saying the government believes close cooperation with China is the best way to influence it.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown spoke by telephone last week with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and
has said he would meet in May with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. Brown's office said he will attend the closing ceremony of the Olympics as planned.
President Bush has long planned to attend the Beijing Olympics, and the White House said the crackdown in Tibet is not cause for him to cancel.
"We want everyone to refrain from violence. We believe that China should respect minority cultures, in particular in this case, the Tibetan culture," said White House press secretary Dana Perino.
Because Bush has a good relationship with Chinese President Hu Jintao, he "is also able to speak very frankly about our concerns about human rights and democracy," she added.
Sarkozy's "deafening silence" on the issue, while Paris-based media freedom group Reporters Without Borders urged an opening ceremony boycott by heads of state other VIPs.
The idea has found support among many French people, with a recent poll suggesting 53 percent of respondents said they were "rather favorable" to the idea of Sarkozy shunning the opening ceremony.
Reporters Without Borders' research director Jean-François Julliard said his group welcomed Sarkozy's comments. He added
"We believe that China should respect minority cultures, in particular in this case, the Tibetan culture."
DANA PERINO White House press secretary
Even if Sarkozy fails to convince other leaders, he stands to reap political benefits from his position. The French leader, a conservative who pledged to make fighting for human rights around the world a hallmark of his presidency, has come under domestic pressure to speak out against the violence in Tibet.
Asked if she could rule out a possible boycott by Bush, Perino said: "I would say at this point I have no change in our position."
Last weekend, an opposition Socialist leader lashed out at
opening ceremony boycott idea "is interesting." The president of the EU Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering, also said politicians should consider staying away from the ceremony if the violence continues.
that to his knowledge, the French leader was the first to go so far in the boycott discussion.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he didn't see the Beijing Games as a political event and disagreed with the idea of a boycott. A German government spokesman echoed that comment, saying a boycott would "distract" from efforts to find a political solution to the crisis.
SOCCER
Pamphlet ignites racial tension
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — Prosecutors accused the head of Germany's top far-right party Tuesday of publishing a pamphlet before the 2006 World Cup that questioned whether nonwhite players should be on the national soccer team.
Prosecutor Simone Herbeth said in a statement that Udo Voigt, head of the National Democratic Party, or NPD, was charged with incitement and defamation over the pamphlets. NPD spokesman Klaus Beier and Frank Scherdt, a leading member, also were charged, Herbeth said.
The flyers showed the traditional white German jersey with the No. 25 — worn at the time by black defender Patrick Owomoyela. They read: "White, not just a jersey color! For a real NATIONAL team!"
Herbeth said the picture "called into question whether this player, as well as other nonwhite skinned players, were worthy of representing Germany as national players."
Prosecutors charge the party later printed another series of pamphlets showing 10 white and one black player in German national jerseys under the question "German National Team 2010?"
Owomoyela, who has a German mother, plays for Werder Bremen but is no longer a member of the German national squad.

game yet."
"I knew it was going to be a blast," Aldrich said. "I knew it was going to be jaw dropping and all that. But I didn't know it was going to be this fun."
Kansas' resident Minnesota got his first taste of the NCAA tournament against Portland State, playing 10 minutes and scoring two points. He followed that up with two points in three minutes against UNLV.
With the graduation of senior center Sasha Kaun and Jackson, and the possible defection of sophomore forward Darell Arthur to the NBA, Aldrich will no doubt play more minutes next season.
But right now, Aldrich doesn't want this ride to end.
HEADING HOME?
"When I get on the floor, I try to give everything," Aldrich said, "I try to score whenever I can, I try to block a few shots... Well, I try to block every shot."
Chase Buford stood on the court of five-year old Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb., on Friday. Except Buford, a freshman walk-on, wasn't able to be himself. On this day, Buford was Rene Rougeau, UNLV's 6-foot-6 starting power guard. His job? Emulate UNLV's 6-foot-6 starting guard and give Kansas' starters a good look at UNLV's offense.
Here's life for Buford during Kansas' tournament run:
Eat, sleep, bang your 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame against Jackson, Kaun and Arthur at practice, and then take a seat three rows behind the Kansas bench with fellow walkons Brennan Bechard and Brad Witherspoon while your team plays its way to the Sweet 16.
And why not? Buford's attempting to equal the feat that his father, R.C. Buford, accomplished 20 years ago: Being a part of a Jayhawk national championship. R.C. was an assistant coach for the 1988 National Champions.
"I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm a part of something this special," Buford said. "I'm having a blast."
Buford's heading to Detroit this weekend, back to the same city where his father's 1988 team clinched its Final Four berth.
Buford said his dad had kept the stories about 1988 to a minimum
The coincidences don't end in Detroit, though. If the Jayhawks find a way to win two games this weekend. Buford will be heading back to his hometown, San Antonio, the site of this year's Final Four.
"He has talked about some parallels," Buford said.
right now, I'm doing my best not to think about it. We got to worry about Detroit. We got a tough task in Detroit."
"Id be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind," Buford said. "I'd love for us to get back there, but
SHOOTERS ALIKE
Conner Teahan and Tyrel Reed eyed the television screen inside Kansas' Qwest Center locker room, and focused on the closing seconds of Western Kentucky's first-round upset against Drake.
As the seconds ticked down. Western Kentucky's Ty Rogers slipped open and released a guarded three-pointer from 25 feet. Swish. Game Over. Cue up "One Shining Moment" music.
Teahan and Reed just watched. They won't be making any buzzer beating three-pointers this March. Maybe someday.
"With the class right now, it's not like I expected to be playing," Teahan said.
Teahan and Reed have a lot in common. They played AAU basketball together. Both are Kansas natives who grew up Jayhawk fans - Teahan in Leawood and Reed in Burlington. And both possess shooting strokes that any father would gladly bestow on his son. Teahan is 12-20 from three-point range in limited minutes, and Reed has made 11 of his 24 three-point attempts despite battling nagging ankle problems.
But you wouldn't know it by listening to them talk after Kansas clinched a spot in the Sweet Sixteen. "This is why I came here. Just to be able to be in the NCAA tournament, be a No.I seed and be going to the Sweet Sixteen," Teahan said.
Teahan and Reed have been buried at the end of Kansas' deep bench since conference play began.
"Just being out there, being able to play a little bit, getting used to the atmosphere, it really helps freshman," Reed said.
The flashbulbs popped, and the cameras rolled as the Jayhawks modestly celebrated their victory against UNLV. Aldrich, Reed, Teahan, and Buford stayed off to the side, away from the lenses and away from the notepads and recorders.
HAWKS IN WAITING
"Seeing how all this works is very important," Self said. "I think it's important to play in the NCAA tournament, so you get a better feel for later when you're going to called on to help lead the team."
This March is just a test drive, and coach Bill Self said the freshman will experience things that will help when the spotlight is on them.
But these freshman will eventually become sophomores, and those cameras will be pointed at them.

The fieldhouse, usually so intimidating and full of electricity, just seemed like a big, cold, quiet building on this night. If the library was full, students could have lounged near the rafters and done their

never seen an event staged there at less than full capacity. To juxtapose the obsession with the men's program with the indifference about the women's program inside one building was either fascinating or depressing, and I couldn't decide which. The athletics department has tried to get creative to increase attendance in the past at women's games. Here is my suggestion to guarantee double the fans next year: a game of HORSE at halftime between two members of the men's team. Tap into this town's true passion.
As for the game, Kansas jumped all over Evansville, winning 82-60. The Jayhawks were better than I had expected and I wished I had seen more games over the past five years. They probably deserved my support. They certainly needed it more than the other tenant of the building.

Hawks finish 12th in Ron Moore Invitational
GOLF
BY BRYAN WHEELER
bwheeler@kansan.com
The Jayhawks have one competition left before they leave for the Big 12 Championship.
Jeff Jacobson/KU ATHLETICS
The men's golf team completed its fourth tournament of the spring Sunday with a 12th-place finish in the Ron Moore Invitational in Goodyear, Ariz., at the Palm Valley Golf Club, a par-72, 7,015 yards course. The Jayhawks' three-round score of 868 left the team 23 strokes behind rival team and tournament champions Kansas State.
Freshmen Nate Barbee tied for fifth place with a three-round score of 209, marking the best finish of his career as well as the best finish for any Jayhawk player this year. After scoring an even-par 72 in the first round last Friday, Barbee improved late in the second round.
Barbee had started out the day shooting an even par through 12 holes. On the 13th hole, Barbee was able to make a wedge shot to birdie the par-3 hole.
"I asked Nate after the 12th hole if he had made a wedge shot in the tournament and that you should at least make one wedge shot per tournament," coach Kit Grove said. "Ironically, it went in."
Two shots later Barbee made another wedge shot from 125 yards uphill that gave him an eagle on the par-4 hole.
"I didn't really think about it. I just made a dead alm at the pin and shot at the hole," said Barbee. "Coach Grove was standing behind the hole and I could tell right away it went in by his reaction."
Freshman Brad Hopfinger recorded his fifth top-30 finish of the year, tying for 20th place with a three-round score of 214. Hopfinger also had a below-par finish in the second round of the tournament, with a score of 68.
"Brad just played really solid all tournament," said Grove. "He had a triple-bogey to start the third round, but was even pa after
Juniors Zach Pederson, Walt Koelbel and Brandon Hermreck struggled throughout the three-day tournament. Pederson had his tournament-best round of 73 on Sunday and tied for 49th place with a three-round score of 221.
that."
Koelbel finished the tournament tied for 57th place with a three-round score of 224. Koelbel's best round came on Friday when he shot a 74.
In his third tournament as a Jayhawk, Wichita State transfer Hermreck finished with a threeround score of 231. Hermreck finished the tournament tied for 74th place. Hermreck's best round of golf was the first, in which he shot a 75.
The Jayhawks' next competition will be April 11 to April 13 in the N.C. State Intercollegiate in Wallace, N.C.

MLB Clement pitches first game after shoulder surgery
JUPITER, Fla. — Cardinals right-hander Matt Clement had mixed results in his first step toward returning to a big-league mound.
Clement, who had extensive shoulder surgery 18 months ago, pitched in a game for the first time this spring Tuesday. He faced seven batters, walked four and threw just 19 of his 37 pitches for strikes.
"I feel pretty good, that's what I take away from it," said Clement. "Obviously, I didn't want to walk that many guys. If anything, it's getting used to being able to put people away, making fewer pitchers and getting outs."
Clement was signed by the Cardinals this off-season after three years in Boston, half of which were spent on the disabled list. He was one of seven players placed on the disabled list Tuesday retroactive to March 21.

VOLUME 118 ISSUE 119
Students decide on transportation
KU KANSAS 307
Jessica Mortinger, Hays senior and Parking and Transit intern, right, talks with Mohamed Basic, Sarejavo, Bosnia, about signing a petition to charge all students $20 per semester through student fees instead of selling bus passes. Basic said he declined to sign the petition because he rarely uses the bus system. The new plan would make buses open to all students with a KUID.
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
Jon Goering/KANSAN
The upcoming student referendum, scheduled for April 9 and 10, could feature three transportation proposals. Students will have the chance to vote on free bus rides, an expansion to Safe Ride's operating schedule, and maintaining the current number of KU busses.
All three proposals passed through the fee review board, the student rights committee and the senate finance committee Wednesday night, and if they pass through the full Student Senate next Wednesday, students will have the chance to decide for themselves.
Here's a breakdown of the proposals KU on Wheels and SafeRide are pushing through senate.
FREE BUS RIDES
PROPOSAL
Students would no longer need a $140 bus pass and all students and faculty would have free access to all KU busses. Four additional busses would operate.
Current transit fee: $72 per year Fee increase: $40 New transit fee: $112 per year Total KU services fee: $795 per year
If students pass this proposal, they will be able to ride any campus bus for free, but their transportation would increase $40.
Students who buy a $140 bus pass would each save $100 next year, but students who don't plan on riding the bus like Kirsten Oschwald, St. Louis junior, who lives in Jayhawk Towers, would still have to pay the $40 fee.
"I've been at KU for two-and-a-half years now and I've only been on the bus once," she said. "I would probably ride it more if it was free, but I definitely wouldn't want it added to my student fees."
Amanda Williams, Leavenworth senior, who has ridden the bus for five years, said she thinks universal access to busses would be worth the $40 fee.
"I would vote yes because $140 is a lot
of money and after being in school for five years like I have, it adds up," she said. "I'd rather pay $40 and not get a bus pass than pay $140 for a pass."
Donna Hultine, director of the KU Parking Department, said her department would also invest $1.4 million into the program, which she said would help decrease parking congestion on campus.
"I think it will benefit those who drive cars because hopefully more students will choose to take a bus to campus so parking lots should have plenty of space available." Hultine said in an e-mail. "They'll also be able to get around campus on free buses rather than trying to move and park their cars."
If the universal access program were to pass, KU Parking and Transit expects its annual revenue would increase $365,000. Jessica Mortinger, former KU transit coordinator who is now on the transit committee, said that amount would all be spent on operating more busses to account for the increase in riders.
According to statistics provided by the registrar's office and the KU Parking Department, 22 percent of the student body bought a bus pass this year.
Hultine said she expects the num
ber of students who ride busses would jump to 42 percent if students pass the bill.
The Parking Department and KU on Wheels based this projection off of research they've conducted at Iowa State and Texas A&M, which both saw a 20 percent rider increase when they adopted universal bus access programs.
SafeRide wants to start operating three cars at 7 p.m. and eliminate the Night Campus Express, which Jessica Mortinger, transit committee member, said students rarely use.
SafeRide would start at 7 p.m. instead of 10:30 p.m.

If students want KU on Wheels to keep operating the current number of busses next year, students will have to pay an additional $12.40 per year in student fees.
The fee would have originally been $18 per year, but Wednesday night's fee review committee haggled it down to $12.40.
Jessica Mortinger, transit committee member, said that if students don't approve the fee, the department will have to cut down on the number of busses it currently operates while eliminating and rearranging some of its routes.
Another expense KU on Wheels will face is an upcoming contract change in December, which Mortinger said could be more expensive than the one it has now.
Details about the specific companies bidding for the contract are classified until December when the decision is made, but the five-year contract will deal with bus operations, maintenance and storage. The contract the department has now is with MV Transportation.

Spotlight Mahjong Organizations Club
BY HELEN MUBARAK

Although Arnold Lillich learned to play mahjong as a child, he understood that the majority of students at the University of Kansas were unfamiliar with the Chinese game, which is similar to poker. He wanted to create a club in order to meet others interested in mahjong and to teach the game to beginners.
It was not until Lillich, Twin Lakes, Colo., junior, met Ethan Skinner, Brisbee, Ariz., junior, that the club was founded.
Although many versions of mahjong exist, members of the club focus on the Chinese and Japanese styles, Lillich said. Mahjong is played with tiles and although it usually involves gambling, members of the club play for fun rather than money.
Arnold Lillich, Twin Lakes, Colo., junior and president of the Mahjong Club, celebrates as he wins a game of Japanese style Mahjong. The Mahjong Club meets every Thursday at the Kansas Union. The club welcomes members of all skill levels and plays both the Chinese and Japanese versions of the game.
"Ethan and I each thought of starting the club independently before we ever even knew each other." Lillich, the club president, said. "A mutual friend put he and I together."
During club meetings, the officers concentrate on helping beginners understand the game structure.
They also demonstrate unusual hands such as 13 Orphans.
"It is easy enough to understand the basics of mahjong, and there is quite a bit of luck involved, which makes things easy for beginners," Skinner, the vice president of the club, said. "Once you get more into it though, it gets very complex, and skill and speed become more of a factor."
Skinner said the club was a good way to meet people from many different cultural backgrounds.
"There is always a lot of socializing going on during the games unless it is a particularly serious match," Skinner, who learned to play mahjong during a visit to China, said.
Lillich said he hoped to teach more students to play the game so a tournament would be feasible. Eric Benavidez, Topeka graduate student, is one of the people whom Lillich taught to play mabion.
The tiles usually display artwork and can be made of bone, ivory, jade, wood and bakelite. The sets vary from $10 acrylic versions to hand-carved versions costing thousands of dollars. Because of the beauty of the sets' artwork and the history of the game, Benavidez said the club was a way for students to
Now the club's secretary and treasurer, Benavidez is particularly interested in the game's use of tiles.
"Tiles set mahjong apart from simply being a poker-like game," Benavidez said. "I love the fact that it's just not possible to gobored
playing mahjong."
expose themselves to a new cultural experience.
The Mahjong Club meets Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. in the dining area of the third level of the Kansas Union. Those interested in the club should e-mail mahjong@ku.edu.

ODD NEWS Swan finds unusual love at boathouse next to zoo
BERLIN — Petra the swan has a new home and so does her beloved swan-shaped paddleboat.
In 2006, Petra, a black swan,
became so attached to the host
— shaped like an out-sized white swan — that she refused to leave its side at a lake near a zoo in the German city of Muenster.
Zoo officials finally parted bird and boat last week after Petra settled down with a real white swan and the boat was returned to the lake. But the romance was short-lived. The zoo says that, on Saturday, her new beau flew off and sought out the company of other black swans.
A zoo statement says that Petra "appears to feel lonely"

Cincinnati man's charity one-ups Easter bunny
Kelsey Tolliver was selling newspapers inside Cincinnati's University Hospital last Sunday when she says a customer in his mid-20s wished her Happy Easter and said to keep the change.
CINCINNATI — An 18-year-old in Indiana will have the prom night she was dreaming of, thanks to a mystery man's Easter tip.
At first, she thought he'd given her $4 for a Sunday paper costing $1.50. But then she realized the wad of bills was too thick — and she had $500 in twenties, plus four $1 bills.
She says she'd never seen the man before and couldn't find him afterward.
The student at Switzerland County Senior High in Patriot, Ind., says she gave half the money to her stepfather. The rest she's using for a dress, shoes, purse and limo for her senior prom.

The two were married Saturday in a swimming pool.
Confer and Wainwright are dedicated to physical fitness. Confer's passion is skiing, while Wainwright has swum competitively and coached high school swim teams most of her life.
Instead of jumping in with both feet, they came whooshing around and down the pool's 136-foot slide. The couple then

On top of their pool-shaped wedding cake, the couple placed a tiny bride and groom coiled on the diving board, ready to dive in.

senate notebook
Student Senate committees met last night in the Kansas Union. Legislation must pass two committees before full Senate votes on its implementation next Wednesday.
Fee voted on include transit and safety
The student rights committee voted to raise student fees by $8.20. The committee voted to raise the campus transportation fee $6.20, raise the SafeRide fee $1.50, and raise the campus
safety fee $.50.
The finance committee heard this legislation and also a SUA fee increase of $.50. It did not pass the campus safety fee raise.
The student rights committee voted to raise the campus safety fee by $.50 to fund a new Jaywalk program and self-defense program. They also removed a sunset on the fee, which means it won't have to be reapplied every year.
The finance committee approved removing the sunset but did not approve the increase. Both
the student rights committee and the finance committee approved legislation to send a fee raise for universal busing access to referendum. If this passes in full Senate, the student body will vote during Student Senate elections to approve a $20 fee raise that would abolish all bus passes and fees to ride the bus.
Presidential veto power called into question
The student rights committee created four pieces of legislation
last night. This week is the last time legislation can go through Senate this school year.
Tom Cox, holdover senator, created legislation to take away the student body president's power to veto legislation that requires two-thirds of Senate to pass. Only changes to Senate rules require this number of votes to pass.
Cox also created legislation to not allow gifts to senators from the Athletics Department. He said this would not apply to athletes or members of the band.He said
it would also not apply to events where the department invited all students.
Felix Zacharias, non-traditional senator, created legislation that would require chairpersons of committees that handle fees to be appointed at the last Senate meeting of the year. He said that he was chair of the student media fee board, and he felt like chairs needed more training from previous chairs. He said some information was lost during the summer when chairpersons were appointed later.
Emily Williams, Panhelenic senator and student rights committee secretary, created legislation to make agreements between Student Senate and other organizations binding by paper. She cited verbal agreements like the Athletics Department replacing parking spots after building the football facility.

Brazilian scientists discover prehistoric crocodile skeleton
MICHAEL ASTOR ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil— Pointy-nosed crocodiles may have joined sharks as the dominant predators in the world's oceans some 62 million years ago, according to Brazilian scientists who on Wednesday unveiled one of the most complete skeletons found yet of the prehistoric animals.
Scientists called it a new species, "Guarinisuchus munzi," and said it sheds new light on the evolutionary history of modern crocodiles.
The fossil includes a skull, jaw bone and vertebrae, making it one of the most complete examples of marine corodylomorphs collected so far in South America, said Alexander Kellner of the National Museum of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He and other scientists unveiled fossils and a model of the 10-foot-long crocodile at the museum.
"It's a very rare find and it gives rise to several new theories,"
said Kellner, who co-authored an article on the find that was published Tuesday in Proceedings of The Royal Society B, a London-based peer-reviewed journal.
Guarinisuchus appears to be closely related to marine crocodylomorphs found in Africa, which supports the hypothesis that the group originated in Africa and migrated to South America before spreading into the waters off the North American coast, Kellner said.
The find also suggests that marine crocodylomorphs replaced marine lizards during the early Paleocene era, about 65 million years ago — the same time marine lizards became extinct. They believe it's a new species based on anatomical differences in the skull that are unique to this creature.
Philip Currie, a paleontology professor at the University of Alberta, Canada who was not involved with the discovery, said it was an important find.
"There are a lot of unknowns with this group in terms of evolution. Clearly the discovery of a
specimen as nice as this one will help sort things out," Currie said in telephone interview.
The bones were found in the northeastern state of Pernambuco. Scientists named the species "Guarinisuchus" after the Tupi Indian word "Guarani," which means warrior and "munizi," in honor of Brazilian paleontologist Deraldo da Costa Barros Muniz, who has discovered many dinosaur fossils off Brazil's northeastern coast. Muni didn't participate in this find.
Scientists have discovered a wealth of crocodile ancestors around Brazil in recent years.
In January, they announced the discovery of an 80 million-year-old land-bound reptile described as a possible link between prehistoric and modern-day crocodiles.
Two years ago, paleontologists from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro announced the discovery of a 70-million-year-old crocodile fossil that they called Uberabasuchus Terrificus, or "Terrible Crocodile of Uberaba."
A fossil of a new prehistoric crocodile species "Guarinisuchus munizi" is seen during a press conference at National Museum of the Rio de Janeiro Federal University in Rio de Janeiro, Wednesday. Brazilian scientists say they have found a new prehistoric crocodile species that inhabited the Earth's oceans some 62 million years ago. ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rebecca Ferm could have spent spring break lounging on the beach and drinking daiquiris in Cancun or South Padre Island. Instead, Ferm, a Chanhassen, Minn., sophomore, took a different route, helping build and repair homes in Lakeshore, Miss.,
a community still struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Ferm was one of 49 KU students who volunteered at seven locations scattered across the United States as part of the KU Alternative Break program. Participants engaged in a wide range of service activities, including working with children with
life-threatening illnesses and serving meals to the homeless.
Though Ferm and her group endured a 15-hour drive, swarms of mosquitoes and undrinkable tap water, she said small things like seeing the gratitude on an elderly woman's face after clearing her lawn of enormous logs made everything worthwhile.
"I kind of felt that whole warm and fuzzy feeling inside, knowing I just made someone's day brighter," Ferm said.
Like Berning, many students take multiple trips with the pro-
"You make this trip your own," she said. "You can choose how much you want to impact that family you are helping or how much effort you want to put into that house."
Ben Berning, Shawnee junior and KU Alternative Break codirector, said his volunteering experiences with the program in Orlando and Charlotte in 2007 established a foundation for lifelong service. He said the freedom of program's coordinators and participaits to shape their own trips made alternative breaks an attractive option.

"We ended up talking for two or three hours after dinner about anything and everything," Richmond said. She added that they talked about, "Our families, our backgrounds and where we came from."
Unfortunately, not everyone who wants to participate gets the chance. Berning said more than 10 applicants for the program had to be turned down because of limited spots.
One Cerebral Palsy patient named Shawn had an especially profound effect on her, Richmond said. Though he didn't have the

Richmond said although it took awhile to open up, her group grew close by trips end.
"Quite frankly, it's logistics," he said. "We can't send everybody because we just don't have enough cars, enough sites or enough people."
The program costs $250 per student and the fee covers all food, lodging and transportation. KU Alternative Breaks also offers programs for select weekends and winter break. As part of the the program, students also earn either one or two credit hours as part of the University curriculum.

Military leaders express concern for troops
Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, left, U.S. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, center, stand with President Bush at the Pentagon after a meeting with senior uniformed leadership about Iraq Wednesday in Washington. The leaders worry that U.S. troops are spread too thin and are unable to handle problems outside of Iraq.

WASHINGTON — Behind the Pentagon's closed doors, U.S. military leaders told President Bush Wednesday they are worried about the Iraq war's mounting strain on troops and their families. But they indicated they'd go along with a brief halt in pulling out troops this summer.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff did say senior commanders in Iraq should make more frequent assessments of security conditions, an idea that appeared aimed at increasing pressure for more rapid troop reductions.
The chiefs' concern is that U.S. forces are being worn thin, compromising the Pentagon's ability to handle crises elsewhere in the world.
In the war zone itself, two more American soldiers were killed Wednesday in separate attacks in Baghdad, raising the U.S. death toll to at least 4,003, according to an Associated Press count. Volleys of rockets also slammed into Baghdad's Green Zone for the third day this week, and the U.S. Embassy said three Americans were seriously wounded. At least eight Iraqi were killed elsewhere in the capital by rounds that apparently fell short.
Wednesday's 90-minute Pentagon session, held in a secure conference room known as "the Tank," was arranged by Defense Secretary Robert Gates to provide Bush an additional set of military views as he prepares to decide how to proceed in Iraq once his troop buildup, which began in 2007, runs its course by July.
"Armed with all that, the president must now decide the way ahead in Iraq," said Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell. The discussion covered not only Iraq but Afghanistan, where violence has spiked, and broader military matters, said Morrell, who briefed reporters without giving details of the discussion. Some specifics were provided by defense officials, commenting on condition
of anonymity in order to speak more freely.
The Joint Chiefs are particularly concerned about Afghanistan and an increasingly active Taliban insurgency.
The United States has about 31,000 troops in Afghanistan and 156,000 in Iraq.
U. S. forces in Iraq peaked at 20 brigades last year and are to be cut to 15 brigades, with a total of about 140,000 combat and support troops, by the end of July. A key question facing Bush is whether security conditions will have improved sufficiently by then to justify more reductions.
One of the leading advocates of Bush's troop buildup last year, military historian Frederick Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute, said in an interview Wednesday that security conditions in Iraq, while better, are not good enough to justify any commitment to troop reductions beyond July.
"The military reality is that it's virtually inconceivable that it will make sense to draw down below 15 brigades this year," Kagan said.
Gates has said he would like to see the total drop to 10 brigades by the end of this year, but that now looks unlikely.
Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, has proposed what is commonly called a "pause" to assess the impact of having withdrawn five combat brigades since December. He has argued that it would be reckless to shrink the American force so rapidly that the gains achieved over the past year are compromised or lost entirely.
Bush is expected to endore Petraeus' approach. If, as expected, Petraeus is given until August or September to weigh the effects of the current round of reductions, then it is unlikely that the force would get much below 15 brigades by the time Bush leaves office in January.
Bush is unlikely to announce his decision until after Petraeus and the top U.S. diplomat in Baghdad, Ryan Crocker, return to Washington next month to report
The Joint Chiefs, who do not command troops but are legally responsible for ensuring the fitness of the forces they provide to commanders, have grown increasingly concerned that the weight of five-plus years of war in Iraq could create severe, long-term problems, particularly for the Army and Marine Corps.
to Congress.
In their session with Bush, the chiefs laid out their concerns about the health of the U.S. force, several defense officials said. Bush was accompanied by his chief of staff, Joshua Bolten; his national security adviser, Stephen Hadley, and Vice President Dick Cheney.
Morrell said Bush is "constantly asking the Joint Chiefs about the health of the force, about retention rates, about family life, and so that was a large part of the conversation today."
"The conversations today with the Joint Chiefs were much broader than just Iraq," Hadley said later. "It was a step-back look of what are the challenges we face here in the
The session was led by Navy Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He presented the consensus view of the chiefs of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps on Iraq strategy.
A senior administration official said the chiefs generally are in sync with Petraeus on slowing the pace of troop reductions.

LOS ANGELES — Republican John McCain on Wednesday called anew for the United States to work more collegially with democratic allies and live up to its duties as a world leader, drawing a sharp contrast to the past eight years under President Bush.
Classes are starting soon at the Lawrence Kaplan Center | 1000 Massachusetts St
"Our great power does not mean we can do whatever we want whenever we want, nor should we assume we have all the wisdom and knowledge necessary to succeed," the likely presidential nominee said in a speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs
the Los Angeles Council. "We need to listen to the views and respect the collective will of our democratic allies," McCain added.

and Europe, McCain's speech was intended to signal to leaders abroad — and voters at home — that he would end an era of what critics have called Bush's cowboy diplomacy. McCain never mentioned Bush's name, though he evoked former Democratic Presidents Truman and Kennedy.

It was, in effect, a fresh acknowledgment from the Arizona senator that the United States' standing on the world stage has been tarnished and that the country has an image problem under Bush.
TEST PREP AND ADMISSIONS
"The United States cannot lead by virtue of its power alone," McCain said in the speech, noting that the United States did not single-handedly win the Cold War or other conflicts in its history. Instead, he said, the country must lead by attracting others to its cause, demonstrating the virtues of freedom and democracy, defending the rules of an international civilized society and creating new international institutions
Critics at home and abroad have accused Bush of employing a go-it-alone foreign policy in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks when the administration spurned international calls for caution and led the invasion into Iraq.

"We know that we have work to do," McCain told reporters later.
He said the United States must set an example for other democracies and renewed his call for creating a new global compact of more than 100 democratic countries to advance shared values and defend shared interests. Later,

to sit in the White House, for he or she does not take seriously enough the first and most basic duty a president has — to protect the lives of the American people," Mc Cain
added, suggesting that neither of his Democratic rivals, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama, understand the stakes at hand.
Democrats, in turn, chastised McCain as offering the same policies as Bush.
"John McCain is determined to carry out four more years of George Bush's failed policies," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said.
McCain staunchly defending his support for a continued U.S. military mission as the Iraq war enters its sixth year and the U.S. death toll tops 4,000. He derided Clinton's and Obama's calls for withdrawal.
Clinton, for her part, seized on McCain's Iraq position, which she termed the Bush/McCain policy. "Like President Bush, Senator McCain continues to oppose a swift and responsible withdrawal from Iraq," she said in a statement.
Recalling his father's four-year absence after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, his grandfather's death a day after returning from war and his own imprisonment in Vietnam, McCain said: "I hold my position because I hate war, and I know very well and very personally how grievous its wages are. But I know, too, that we must sometimes pay those wages to avoid paying even higher ones later."

Federline takes on daddy duties

COMMENTARY
CAITLIN THORNBURGH
Textbooks ignore women's triumphs
CAITLIN THORNBURGH
In one of my first classes this semester, my history professor was introducing her feelings on the subject to the class.
Displayed boldly on a PowerPoint slide, she read a quote from Catherine Morland in Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey." Referring to studying history, she says, "I read it a little as a duty, but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars or pestilences, in every page;
the men all so good for nothing,
and hardly any women at all — it is
very tiresome"
My professor said that when she was younger, she didn't see a lot of people like her talked about in history classes or textbooks.
Until now, history has been an uninteresting subject, where a teacher lectures from president to president with the token female thrown in here and there. We've heard of Susan B. Anthony and how Sacagawea helped Lewis and Clark.
Students should ask questions about the women from the time period they are studying. We no longer live in a time period when women's actions have less value than the accomplishments of men.
History should not favor one sex over the other, and professors should refuse to accept subject material that doesn't include women.
I'm a sophomore in college, and this is the first time I've actually enjoyed history. One reason is because of the high quality of the professor's teaching, but a large part of it is because it's a women's history class. I learn about the actions and lives of women who built the foundation for how I live my life today. Women of this century are living what they worked for. I'm allowed to vote, seek higher education and write this column because women before me fought for the right to do it themselves.
In 1980, the National Women's History Project was founded because its group members had a problem with the absence of learning about women in the classroom. According to its Web site, only 3 percent of the content in educational history books covered women. They tried to increase this number, one of the most prominent attempts was the start of a national Women's History Month.
If more young girls knew that women like Alice Paul were force fed and jailed to give women today the right to vote, they would be less apathetic to what is going on in politics. If young girls were educated about the struggles and triumphs of Margaret Sanger and the beginning of birth control, would there be fewer teenage pregnancies? Why do we know the details of Brittney Spears' psychological meltdown but have no clue who Elizabeth Cady Stanton is? If girls were given strong, successful women to look up to, would the recent study from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention stating that one in four teenage girls have a sexually transmitted disease be true?
A greater emphasis should be placed on women's history in all levels of education. It took 14 years of education before I learned about the majority of women in my current history class. March is Women's History Month, and even though I support this celebration of women's history, it is not enough. If Jane Austen was writing about women not being recognized in history in the 1800s and women today are still pointing out the problem, this is obviously not something that has been corrected. If we have learned anything from the women of our past, it's that we know how to put up a long fight for what we believe in.

COMMENTARY
Smokers refuse to acknowledge health problems
ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
Thank you for smoking? Never!
Except for those one or two instances of teenage rebellion, I am proud to say I'm a non-smoker.
I'll never be a member of the "cool" group huddling outside in sub zero temperatures for a hit, nor will I ever be able to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger after bumming a light—
something I've seen my friends do on numerous occasions.
In 2004, the Lawrence City Commission passed a smoking ban in all workplaces, including bars and restaurants. But when I return to Topeka, that all-too-familiar stench creeps back into my nostrils while I'm enjoying my food.
Perhaps it is because my dad is a smoker that I refrain from the smelly, deadly habit. Either way, my lack of nicotine indulgence has not prevented me and other non-smokers alike from being exposed to smoke clouds.
Occasional, everyday exposures tend to get under my skin more. I can't count the number of times I've
I'm enjoying the view of campus about to take in the fresh air when, instead, I inhale cigarette smoke. The cigarette hanging limply in the hand of the smoker created a cloud that I unfortunately am the first to intercept.
It appears that the sole purpose of everyone's cigarette is to create a streaming line of smoke that heads directly for me.
Non-smokers, you know what I'm talking about. Smokers, I'll explain.
Besides intercepting smoke clouds, the group huddles of smokers are another enemy for nonsmokers' nostrils. Their placement
been on campus walking to class to find myself behind a smoker.
at the entrances of most buildings greets the unsuspecting on-comer with the smell of nicotine.
The little, warm nooks that attract smokers have a smoky haze despite the "No smoking within 20 feet" signs.
But, I still don't understand because smokers smell and taste terrible. The smell and the habit make me smell. I've tried to appeal to the smokers in my life by illustrating the negative consequences, but that approach never works.
At the beginning of March, more signs were added to Wescoe's doors to combat the problem.
I've encountered smokers' willingness to defend the habit and each other at the drop of an ash.
I'm an advocate for not smoking because of how deadly it is not only for the smoker, but also for non-smokers.
As much as smokers have the right to smoke, I have the right to fresh air. I love the city's smoking ban and appreciate the University's attempt to stop the "welcome committee" of smokers at entrances, but have some consideration for non-smokers. Smokers may be good at heart, but they are blinded by their habit.
I'm pulling for you to quit, but honestly, I'm worried about my health more than yours.

STUDENT FEES
Boathouse fee keeps sports pass fee increases at bay
BY LUKE MORRIS
Imorris@kansan.com
Kansas Athletics said it would not raise the price of the student all-sports pass for next year despite the success of both the football and men's basketball teams.
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said that in 2006 the Athletic Department promised to keep the price of the sports pass the same as long as the students paid a $15 fee each semester that went toward the construction of the new boathouse for the rowing team each semester. Students also pay an additional $25 each semester that goes to women's and non-revenue sports.
Students can buy the $150 sports pass, which gives students tickets to all home football and men's basketball games, as part of their optional fees through the University's Enroll and Pay Web site.
"The only factor for now is we want to make it as affordable as we can for students to come to games," Marchiony said.
Mark Lienemann, Atchison Junior, said he was surprised that Kansas Athletics wouldn't raise the prices and that he wasn't aware of the pledge to keep the price the same.
"I figured the prices would go up because of the success of our football team," Lienemann said.
Lienemann said that raising the price wouldn't stop him from buying the sports pass unless the price became "ridiculous."
Kansas Athletics raised its prices for football tickets for non-student fans for the 2008 season. In 2007,
season ticket prices for public, faculty-staff and recent graduate fans were $275, $225 and $200, respectively. Next season these prices will be $300, $240 and $240.
Different universities have different all-sports pass definitions. Some only include football and men's basketball, while others include all sports. Universities like Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Nebraska offer only individual season ticket options for sports.
The all-sports pass lets Kansas students into men's basketball and football games for the fourth-cheapest price in the Big 12 Conference, according to each Big 12 university's athletics ticket office. Only Texas, Texas Tech and Colorado have cheaper prices. Texas Tech's tickets are the least expensive, costing student $52
each. The priciest student tickets were Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State, which charge $275,$295 and $372.
Both Lienemann and Kelsey Adkins, Overland Park freshman, said they were surprised that Kansas tickets were so cheap.
"I thought wed be one of the higher prices because we have so much history and tradition with our basketball team," Adkins said.
Marchiony said that students should keep the quality of the different programs in mind when they look at the ticket prices.
"Considering our athletic program, it's a very good deal when you compare it to other members of the Big 12."

Former athletes find their places in campus ministries

lmorris@kansan.com
Jon Goering/KANSAS Dan Coke, 2003 graduate and former KU football player, works as campus director for Midwest Student Ministries. He said he began preaching the Gospel to whomever would listen after a friend explained Christianity to him during his sophomore year.
Dan Coke used to start his day by lifting weights with his football teammates. Now he starts by lifting up KU students in prayer.
Coke, a Kansas football running back and safety from 1999-2003, graduated from the University in 2003, and now spends his time as a campus minister.
Coke is one of a few former athletes in the area who have traded in her or her cleats to preach the Gospel.
Coke began to get serious about Christianity during his sophomore year. Since then, Coke has been preaching to whomever will give him the chance. He started with teammates and his ministry eventually expanded to the entire campus.
"I'm up on campus three to four days a week doing some kind of ministry," Coke said.
Today Coke is the campus director for Midwest Student Ministries, which plays host to a weekly worship service called Plugged In on Thursday nights at the Hawks Nest in the Kansas Union.
Coke and his wife, Lauri, also a campus minister, open their house to students who they've met through their ministries.
"We do silly stuff like record 'American Idol' and have students over to watch it with us just to give them a break from studying." Coke said. "We let them hold our kids even if they've never held a baby before."
But Coke hasn't entirely quit his involvement with Kansas football. Coke speaks at pregame chapel services for the team and also has a Bible study group with a few of the players
Jesse Brinson, Coke's teammate from 1999-2001, also serves Lawrence
as a minister now. The former walkon fullback and defensive lineman ministers to middle and high school students in Lawrence.
Brinson, like Coke, became a Christian after coming to the University. Brinson said he jumped at the chance to minister to others when Coke's ministry was looking for a middle and high school minister.
Brinson said that some of his messages have come from his experiences in football.
"Teamwork is big with me, not just m
football, but everything," Brinson said.
Brett Williams, a former tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, serves as campus minister at UMKC and Avila College. Williams said that his status as a former athlete has helped him get people to listen to him.
"That's been a huge help for me because were in a society where pro
athletes are placed on a petestan, Williams said. "I don't agree with it, but if someone gives me a chance to discuss Jesus with them because I used to play. I'll use it."
Each said they felt that their ministry was important to the impact of the future of the world.
"The future leaders of the world are on college campuses. If they experience God's love and character and understand his word, it'll change not only their lives, but also it'll change their spirit of influence."
Coke said that even if he quits ministering on campus, he would still have a hand in campus ministries.
"Whatever I do, I will always have a hand in what God's doing on college campuses," Coke said. "My heart will always be there."

Former KU all-star makes viking-sized return
OF KU FOOTBALL
Vikings cornerback Charles Gordon played for Kansas in 2003 to 2005 before declaring for the 2006 NFL draft. Gordon said that his career has always been about proving himself season after season.
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
BY MATT LINDBERG
mlindberg@kansan.com
While most Minnesota Vikings tans may have forgotten Dec. 31, 2006, it will always stick out for Charles Gordon. For Gordon, a former KU football multi-position standout, the last day of 2006 was the day his childhood dream came full circle, starting in an NFL game.
Gordon started at cornerback for the Vikings in their final game of the season against the St. Louis Rams, but it wasn't a great day to be a Vikings fan. The Vikings No. 1 ranked defense had its problems during the game, allowing the Rams to carry the ball 36 times for 168 yards and complete 19 of 31 passes total in the game. The Rams won 41 to 21 against the Vikings in Minnesota, but Gordon calls the loss an exciting learning experience.
"I'll never forget that day because I was lined up against Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt." Gordon said. "I couldn't have asked for a better situation than that.
"They were veteran receivers, so they used their tricks on me, but I learned from it and it made me a better player," Gordon said.
Facing difficulty is nothing new to Gordon, who said his career has always been about proving himself to everyone around him. He was recruited to the University as a wide receiver and debuted as a redshirt freshman in 2003. Gordon said he never thought he was considered a top recruit when he came to the University and that his goal was to move up in the depth chart when he first arrived.
By his junior year, Gordon had made a name for himself by earning starting positions at cornerback, punt returner and wide receiver, as well as All-Big 12 and All-American honors. He became a crowd favorite with his name being chanted throughout Memorial Stadium every time he came on to Kivisto Field.
Jayhawk football was beginning to turn around and earn some credibility as a
legitimate football program, when Gordon shocked most Jayhawk fans and declared for the 2006 NFL draft. Gordon said while he might have surprised Jayhawk fans, he made a difficult yet good decision.
"I debated back and forth and finally decided I was ready for the next level."
Gordon said.
He said frequent injuries he faced at the time were a major factor in his decision to move forward with his football career. Gordon had no big expectations when it came to draft day, as he had got all kinds of grades from different teams who were
interested in his services and specifically what he could run.
Gordon went undrafted and while some might think he wished he hadn't forgone his senior season, Gordon said that was never the case.
"I never regretted it. The goal was
to get drafted and it hurt that I wasn't," Gordon said. "But it really made me recommit to getting better and focusing in on the little things that are important in football."

Jayhawks of a feather Chemistry between Kansas team members present on,off court

The shining lights and buzzing microphones of enough TV cameras to fill the set of a Steven Spielberg movie focus in on Brandon Rush. He's sitting in front of his locker in the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb., a day before the Jayhawks beat UNLV to advance to the Sweet 16.
It's time for Rush to be the star,to say all the right things.
"We're the No.1 seed," he says, "we have the targets on our back..."
He doesn't finish the thought. Mario Chalmers won't let him.

Rush turns away from the cameras to shout at Chalmers.
"Stuttering Stanley," Chalmers says in his ear.
"C'mon brotha," he says, "let me talk. While Rush and Chalmers banter with each other, their teammates watch NCAA
"C'mon brotha," he says, "let me talk."
Michael Lee, a graduate assistant coach and former KU player, stands in his suit away from all the locker room madness. He's a coach now, but a few years ago he was in the same position as Rush, Chalmers and all the other players, trying to win a national championship. Lee came close twice, making the Final Four in 2002 and the championship game in 2003. The teams he was on had strong senior leaders and more than anything, good chemistry.
Junior first baseman Preston Land takes it upon himself to get the third out after fielding the ball in the bottom of the third inning. Land was 2-3 at bat through the bottom of the seventh inning Wednesday night against Benedicte College. Kansas' next home game is Friday, against Texas A&M. The first pitch is set to be thrown at 6 p.m.
Tournament games and talk about the shot Western Kentucky made to beat Drake. Almost every one of them is smiling and laughing. All the players, or as Sherron Collins calls them, brothers, are close, something that should benefit them as they try to make the Final Four this weekend.
"You have to have a close-knit group," Lee said noting that this year's team is similar to the ones he played on.

Jayhawks overcome rough start
KU offense makes adjustments from first few innings to defeat Benedictine
BY TYLER PASSAMORE
tpassamore@kansan.com
It was a dreary evening as the Jayhawks started their game against Benedictine College Wednesday night. Much like the weather, the Jayhawks came out with a dismal start and found themselves down two in the top of the first.
The game started when Benedictine's center fielder Michael Marx reached base on a error by freshman third basemen Tony Thompson. The Benedictine College Ravens (9-8) followed with a single and then a wild pitch moved the runners to second and third with no outs. When the top of the first inning was over, the Ravens had scored two runs on three hits.
The Jayhawks' bats were silenced until the third inning when the Ravens' defense allowed the Hawks to climb back in the game. Senior left fielder John Allman hit a ground ball to Benedictine's second baseman Brett Miller, who threw the ball away, allowing Thompson and junior center fielder Nick Faunce to score. Allman's average continued to climb to .369 on the day, despite the error.
"I think we have been swinging the bats well," Allman said. "Coming out here and seeing slower velocity, hitters had to make some adjustments and it took a couple innings to get those adjustments."
The Jayhawks scored two runs off of one hit and two errors. After two unearned runs, the Jayhawks tied the score at 2-2 and remained in a dogfight until the sixth inning. The Jayhawks started the sixth inning off with back-to-back walks by senior designated hitter Casey Larson and senior right fielder Ryne Price.
With runners on first and second, senior shortstop Erik Morrison's line drive back up the middle brought Larson in to score. Following the base hit, the Jayhawks executed a double steal, moving the runners to second and third.
After going 2-2 in the first game of the day, junior first baseman Preston Land continued his success hitting a deep fly ball to centerfield that brought Ryne Price in for a RBI and the second run of the inning. Land has come on strong as of late and raised his average from .237 to .271
on the day.
"I talked to my hitting coach and it was more of the mental approach than mechanical," Land said. "Anytime you can string along four or five hits, it really helps your confidence and the ball starts to really

Hawks stand out in indoor tournament
BY DANNY NORDSTROM
dnordstrom@kansan.com
Jordan Scott grimaced in pain and let out a booming roar as he completed another push-up.
"I can't talk right now," the sophomore pole-vaulter said between breaths. "I'm in the middle of a super-set."
Workouts like these are fueling Scott's fire, after a disappointing ninth place finish at the Indoor National Championships in Favetteville, Ark. last weekend.
After finishing the grueling super-set workout, a winded Scott said, "I just did 184 push-ups. I can't feel my arms."
"All of my energy from indoor nationals will go to outdoor-and more," he said. I'm a lot more determined now."
While Scott's bid at a national title was unsuccessful, several Jayhawks posted impressive performances. As a team, the women experienced their best finish in school history, placing 10th, while the men placed 22nd.
Agafonov is the first Kansas athlete to earn the All-American honor three years in a row in the men's weight throw.
"It was difficult," Agafonov said. "I don't look at the other guys' distance. I watch for my own mistakes, don't collect others and just throw as far as I can."
Senior weight-thrower Egor Agafonov took home his second consecutive national title with the furthest toss in the NCAA this year at 22.71 meters.
Also successful was senior polevaulter Kate Sultanova. She took home third place at nationals for the second year in a row and also earner All-American honors.
"I feel pretty good, but I'm a little disappointed," she said, adding
that she might have competed better with a thicker pole.
Sultanova talked about her feelings before the meet.
"I was nervous the whole week," she said. I didn't really want to talk about it. I was trying to keep my mind somewhere else, but it's impossible."
Sultanova's third place finish was only one of several impressive showings for the women. Junior spinner Nickesha Anderson placed second in the 200-meter dash, posting the second fastest time in the world this year at 20.62 seconds. Anderson also finished sixth in the 60-meter dash.
Senior shot putter Stephanie Howard also scored for the Jayhawks finishing in eighth place with a 16.8 meter toss. She earned her first All-American honors. Senior triple jumper Crystal Manning placed 13th and also earned All-American honors.
The Jayhawks can now look ahead to a promising outdoor season. The team is excited to get outside and compete this spring.
Kansas begins the outdoor season on March 28th at the Missouri Relays in Columbia Missouri. The team's first home meet will take place at Memorial Stadium April 16-19.
"I can't wait for it to get warmer," Sultanova said. "I can't compete in this cold weather. I'm going to be competing in my Russian furry hat and my boots," she said with a laugh.
Also excited was Scott who hoped to come out strong after a disappointing finish at indoor nationals. "I'm a lot more determined for outdoors even though I thought I was for indoors," he said. "It just keeps building up."

Freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters replaces his shoe at first base during Tuesday's game against Chicago State University. Waters lost his shoe after cranking a line drive over second base.
TOKYO — Emil Brown found a safe way home: hit the ball over the fence.
One day after Brown made a costly baserunning mistake, his three-run homer in the third inning led Oakland over the Boston Red Sox 5-1 Wednesday night and gave the Athletics a split of their opening two-game series.
Boston began its World Series title defense with a 6-5, 10-inning victory Tuesday night, boosted by Manny Ramirez tiebreaking, two-run double. The game might have lasted longer had Brown not been tagged between second and third on his RBI double in the bottom of the 10th.
On Tuesday, he admired his 10th-inning double from the batter's box, thinking it would clear the fence, then hustled to second.
Following Major League Baseball's third season-opening series in Japan, the teams were to head back to the United States on 10-hour flights across the Pacific

OUTLOOK
Call Davidson "this year's George Mason" if you want, but Davidson might just be better than the George Mason team that made Cinderella run to the Final Four in 2006. The small liberal arts college in North Carolina is making waves as a giant-killer after defeating Gonzaga and Georgetown to reach the Sweet 16. Davidson, which lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament last season, has prepared itself for the NCAA tournament by playing a treacherous non-conference schedule. Davidson lost to North Carolina 72-68, fell to Duke 79-73, and lost at UCLA 75-63. The Wildcats stood 4-6 on Dec. 21 after a loss to North Carolina State, but they haven't lost since, reeling off 24 straight victories, including an undefeated record in the Southern Conference.
HOW DO THEY DO IT?
With guard play first and foremost. Sophomore Stephen Curry is a phenomenal talent, but senior point guard Jason Richards is just as important. Richards is second on the team in scoring at 12.9 points per game and leads the nation in assists with 8.0 per game. The rest of the Wildcats get by on guts and a high basketball I.Q.
PLAYER SPOTLIGHT Stephen Curry, 6-foot-3 sophomore guard As a high school senior in Charlotte, NC., Curry waited and waited. He wanted to play Division I basketball, but the offers weren't coming in. His home state schools, North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest and N.C.State, all took a pass. Virginia Tech, his father's alma mater, offered him a scholarship with the caveat that
he would have to walk-on for a season. So Curry defied logic and settled on Davidson, a school about 20 miles north of Charlotte. Well, Curry grew three inches, gained about 25 pounds and is now one of the best guards in America. At a sprite 185 pounds, Curry averaged 21.7 points as a freshman and upped that to 25.7 point per game this season. The country has taken notice. With 40 points in a first round victory against Gonzaga and 30 against Georgetown in round two, Curry has been one of the stories of the NCAA tournament. If Davidson want to continue its unlikely run, it needs another other-worldly performance from Curry against Wisconsin on Friday.

See ya, Clemmon. Vanderbilt? Thanks for stopping by. Have a safe trip back to D.C. Georgetown. The favorites -- except Kansas and Wisconsin -- in Midwest Region of the NCAA tournament have gone the way of the woolly mammoth. In their place sits Villanova. The Villanova Wildcats are hardly cinderellas They are making their 29th NCAA tournament appearance, and their third Sweet 16 appearance in four years. The Wildcats have a dangerous lead guard, sophomore Scottie Reynolds, and a solid game coach, Jay Wright. They may have finished the regular season in a tie for 8th in the Big
Wisconsin (31-4) No.3 Seed
HOW DO THEY DO IT? It's all about the guards in Detroit., and Villanova has three talented underclassmen. Sophomore Scottie Reynolds and freshmen Corey Stokes and Corey Fisher are athletic, they can handle the ball, and they combine for more than 31 points per game.
tle-looking yet intense competitor from the North. Butch screams Big 10 basketball. He's big, deceptively quick and loves to mix it up in the paint. At first, Butch had trouble finding his groove with Wisconsin. Last season, he blossomed before hurting his elbow late in the regular season. The Badgers struggled without him, losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Now, as a senior, Butch has led the team to a Big 10 regular season and postseason championship. He leads the team in scoring and rebounding, and if there's ever a scuffle under the basket, expect Butch to be in the middle of it.
PLAYER SPOTLIGHT Scottie Reynold, 6-foot-2 sophomore guard Like Davidson's Stephen Curry, Reynolds' college decision is an interesting story as well. Reynolds decided on Oklahoma and had already signed when Oklahoma's coach, Kelvin Sampson, ditched town and headed for Oklahoma. Taking advantage of the rule that allows players to de-commit from a school
if its coach leaves, Reynolds settled on Villanova. Reynolds has benefited from Villanova coach Jay Wright up-tempo, perimeter oriented offense. Kansas' Russell Robinson called Reynold's style unorthodox. Reynolds possesses deceptive quickness and he shoots 38.1 percent from the threepoint line. He also lacks an experienced supporting cast. Unless Reynolds has a special weekend, it seems unlikely that Villanova survives in Detroit.
In 2000, college basketball fans were treated to a halftime score of 19-17 in the Final Four. One of those teams involved was Wisconsin.The Badgers an eight seed that year, snuck up on teams with their slow, defensive-minded style.Now they're one of the favorites to make the Final Four, especially now that Georgetown has been eliminated.Wisconsin has talent at every position,and more importantly, those talented guys play hard.Bo Ryan is one of the best basketball coaches and he's done one of his best jobs this season.

Wisconsin finally did what teams have been trying in agony to do for so long: stop Michael Beasley. The Badgers sustained a 17-point performance from the Kansas State star in the first half then limited him to six points in the second. National experts and fans saw that and took notice of Wisconsin's defense, but it's been less comforting than a bed at a $30-a-night hotel all season. On average, this year's opponents have shot the ball 38 percent from the field and put up just fewer than 54 points a game. Davidson's hot shooting guards could be in for some trouble on Friday.

GORDON (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Gordon said he never feared not finding a spot on an NFL roster, as he believed he had the skills to compete at the professional level. Shortly after the draft, Gordon said he and his agent talked with a dozen NFL teams, but the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans and Vikings were the three that he remembered showing the most interest. Ultimately, Gordon chose the Vikings because he felt they offered the best opportunity for his career.
Gordon said money was not a major factor in his decision, as he was more concerned about playing time. He said the Vikings were "the right fit" because he would be guaranteed a chance to compete for a job and have a chance to get on the field, which other teams never promised.
When Vikings training camp began, Gordon said he was doing well and thought he would have a spot on the 53-man roster, before he was sidelined with yet another injury, a tear of the meniscus in his left knee. The tear of his left knee cartilage would force Gordon to sit out in training camp and join the Vikings practice squad for the first half of the season.
He said while the practice squad was not something he had hoped for, it did benefit him. Gordon was able to nurse his knee back to full health while sharpening his skills.
On Nov. 7, 2006, Gordon was finally called up to the active roster.
"I got the chance to be 100 percent and learn the ins and outs of the Vikings defense and whole system," Gordon said. "I got to work

Gordon said his career in Minnesota has been good and
"The goal was to get drafted and it hurt that I wasn't."
CHARLES GORDON
Former KU football player
the Green Bay Packers.
Since 2006, Gordon has remained on the Vikings active roster. Some might think making the transition to professional football would be difficult, but Gordon said besides the speed of the game, everything else is pretty similar to other levels of football.
"It's just football to me, it comes natural," Gordon said. "It just boils down to can you execute the game plan better than the other team. I think I do it as well as anyone else and can produce for my team."
Gordon said he felt established in the Vikings organization and was happy his role had gotten bigger. However, he said he still has things he needs to work on.
"Every day, people are coming to try and take my position," Gordon said. "Just like at KU, I have to prove myself, I'm not satisfied. The
that has to do with the team's chemistry. He said he thought the team took a step in right direction with a five-game winning streak towards the end of last season against the Oakland Raiders, Super
Bowl champions New York Giants, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears. Gordon said he thought the Vikings could make a real push towards the playoffs and a Super Bowl win in the next few years. Team chemistry has also resulted in strong friendships between teammates, such as Gordon and fellow Viking Cedric Griffin.
Gordon said NFL players are just like any average Joe. He said they clown around in the locker room just like high school athletes would.
"We play the same spot and are battling for the same job," Gordon said. "But there is still a good friendship there."
While Gordon is no longer on the University football roster, he said he was there in spirit and talked with some of the team before the Orange Bowl earlier this year.
"All the people who looked up to
me when I was playing were calling me and asking for advice, so I felt like I was on the team," Gordon said. "Some of them learned skills from me and I was happy for them watching the game. It touched me that they won because no one besides the team thought they were going to win."
Gordon said he still paid attention to the football program and has been happy with how it has been improving since his departure.
"They are starting to get better recruits in and they are playing well as a team," Gordon said. "They
stepped up and are closing the gap between the competition."
He said the University's football program could be considered a top team in the nation.

but that Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress had a much different style than Coach Mangino.
He said Childress allowed the team to do what they wanted but let them know when improvement was needed.
"Coach Mangino is always in your face while Coach Childress is more calm and relaxed," Gordon said.
Currently, Gordon is preparing for the upcoming NFL season in Lawrence while he finishes his degree this semester. He said he stays on top of his game by training with KU strength coach Chris Dawson on a regular basis. Gordon said it felt normal to be back in Lawrence, but admitted it was hard to get back to "school form" at first.
Gordon said he does get recognized while on campus, although one student didn't believe who he was and said he was "too small to be Charles Gordon."
Those who disagree with Gordon's decision to go pro a year early aren't getting under his skin.
"I gave a lot to the program," Gordon said. "It took a lot out of me and I wanted the chance to pursue my dream."

Royals aquire pitcher from Rockies
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Righthander Ramon Ramirez was acquired Wednesday by the Kansas City Royals from the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named.
Manager Trey Hillman said Ramirez would be on the Royals' opening day roster as a late-inning reliever.
Games Tackles Interceptions Kick/Punt Returns Return Yards 8 14 0 1 1 16 39 1 2 48
COLORA
"We're optimistic about that," Moore said. "The way I understand it, it's just a mild strain and he's just kind of day-to-day right now. When somebody has any type of strain to the lower part of their body as a pitcher, you want to be careful because the next thing you know it could lead to something else."
The Royals also traded outfielder-first baseman Justin Huber to San Diego for a player to be named, and assigned right-handers Roman Colon and Chin-hui Tsao and catcher Ken Huckaby to minor league camp.
"We like his stuff, we like his power and we like his pitch-ability in late innings," Hillman said. "It's supposed to be very electric."
"He's a guy with a power arm," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. "We felt we needed to acquire somebody with some power from the right side to go along with (Leo) Nunez and some other guys we have in there. It's a good fit for us right now. We feel he's a guy who would impact our bulbnet.
Right-hander Hideo Nomo, who hasn't pitched in the majors since 2005, was setback by straining his groin against San Diego on Tuesday night.
The 26-year-old Ramirez, once one of the top prospects in Colorado's system, set team rookie reliever records with a 3.46 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 61 appearances in 2006. He opened his career in the majors with 15 1-3 consecutive scoreless innings and finished his rookie year 4-3.
Nomo, a non-roster invite signed to a minor-league contract, was a bullpen candidate after going 1-0 with a 4.80 ERA in seven spring games.
Kansas City also designated left-hander Jorge De La Rosa for assignment and optioned right-hander Kyle Davies to Triple-A Omaha, clearing the way for left-hander John Bale and right-hander Brett Tomko to get the final two spots in the rotation.
De La Rosa was a candidate to fill one of the final two spots in Kansas City's rotation, but he had a spring ERA of 8.03 and allowed four runs
But Ramirez struggled with an elbow injury last season, going 2-2 with an 8.31 ERA in 22 games for Colorado. He was 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA in 25 appearances for Triple-A Colorado Springs.

in four innings his last outing.
Davies, who was acquired in a trade in July with Atlanta for Octavio Dotel, was 1-0 with a 4.00 ERA in three exhibition games.
Huber came up through the Mets organization as a catcher, but switched to outfield and first base after being traded to Kansas City in 2004.
"For us, the way our club was shaping up, we just didn't see any opportunity for him to be on our team and he's out of options. I wish we had more time because he had a terrific spring. We think he's going to be a good hitter. It just didn't work out. We wish we could have had opportunity for him, but we don't."

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
This team is certainly close. Outside the locker room, the players are rarely too far away from each other, hanging out in each other's apartments at Jayhawker Towers or playing video games together. Sometimes Rodrick Stewart walks to class with a couple of his teammates. Sometimes it's four of them. And sometimes, the whole team walks together.
Stewart knows first-
hand how good it feels to have close teammates.

ed help.
KU's chemistry manifests itself on the basketball court nearly every
"Anytime Darrell or somebody is out to get some food," he said, "they'll be like, 'Yo D, you want something to eat?' And I'll be like, 'Yea,' and they'll get something to eat. Nobody goes hungry on this team or has to worry about not having enough in their pocket."
Jackson, whose cousin was murdered on the same day. Teammates try to help out for smaller matters, too. When Collins had surgery on his ankle in November, Stewart and a few others were in his room all day talking to him and watching TV.
DARNELL JACKSON Senior Forward
Jackson said he could always count on the other guys if he need
game. Almost no team in the country is as unselfish as the Jayhawks. Seven players have led the team in scoring for at least one game this season.
Stewart said the seniors protect that balance. They tell the
underclassmen before every game to not be distracted by anything other than getting the victory.
On Friday, Kansas will be playing in the Sweet 16 for the second straight season. The Jayhawks lost in the first round against Bradley the year before they made it to the second weekend last season. Most of this year's group has been together since that loss to Bradley, and Rush thinks that the closeness they've gained since then has helped them become more experienced successful now.
"If somebody has the hot hand," Stewart said, "it's great for them, but at the same time we have 10 guys who can go out there and do the same thing. The only thing that matters is us and the name on the front of your jersey."
"We're definitely different from my freshman year," he said. "We just know what we have to do."
Judging by the mood in the locker room now, Self doesn't have to worry about nerves anymore. The players have been through personal problems and tough games during the last two to three years. They know how to play together and act in these situations.
During Rush's freshman year, the team didn't quite know how to act. Kansas coach Bill Self said he could sense the pressure and anxiety in KU's locker room before the game against Bradley.
"It's such a loose group," Self said. "We don't have to spend time telling them to relax. It's more like guys, focus."

now down when you're in the box.
Faune and sophomore second baseman Robby Price both tacked on RBI singles that put the Hawks up by four runs. Faune had a successful day from behind the plate going 2 for 3, with a RBI and a walk.
The jayhawks' big inning that included four hits and four runs proved to be enough to distance themselves from the Ravens and improve their record to 18-9 on the season.
The Hawks got two strong pitching performances from senior pitcher Hiarali Garcia and freshman pitcher T.J. Walz. Walz picked up his second win of the year in relief, throwing five and a third innings. He struck out six while surrendering one hit and allowing no runs. After a slow start to the season, Walz built off his last two strong performances and gained moment-
"I felt like I had good command on my fastball and my slider and curvebelt were both breaking pretty well," Walz said. "I was pretty nervous in my first couple outings and I have loosened up and am having more fun and gaining confidence."
tum going into the Texas A&M series starting Friday.
"This is a big weekend for us," Allman said. "We need to get back to .500 and if we can come out and pitch well and hit well, good things are going to happen for us."
The Jayhawks will play their second Big 12 series of the season, hosting the Texas A&M Aggies starting Friday at 4 p.m.
The depth to the pitching staff is something the Jayhawks will need to continue to rely on, as the Big 12 is the strongest it has been in awhile.

game one
Bottom 3: Freshman designated hitter Casey Lyle led the inning off, reaching first base on an error. After Lytle moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt by junior Nick Faunche, he scored on a single through the right side by senior left fielder John Allman to give Kansas a 1-1 lead.
Top 4: Sophomore left-hander Shaefer Hall retires the side in order on just four pitches.
Bottom 4: Junior first baseman Preston Land was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning and scored when Chicago State pitcher Colin Marshall overthrew first base on a sacrifice bunt by senior third baseman Matt Berner. Berner reached third base on the play and scored on a wild pitch. Faunce tripped later in the inning and scored Kansas' final run of the inning on a sacrifice fly by sophomore second baseman Robby Price, putting Kansas up, 4-0.
Top 5: Hall completed the final inning
of his outing, striking out his fifth batter in as many innings. Hall shut out the Cougars over five innings, allowing just two hits and two walks in 67 pitches.
Bottom 5: Kansas capitalized on four walks and a hit batsman to score seven runs, adding four hits to the mix, as 12 Jayhawks came to the plate in the inning. Kansas added one more run while the bullpen held Chicago State off the board.

Senior shortstop Erik Morrison throws the ball to first for an out after fielding a hard-hit grounder. The Jayhawks played the Benedicite Red Raiders Wednesday night at Hooldun Ballpark.
All season it was thought that Kansas had an ace in the hole in Andy Marks. That illusion came to an anticlimactic end Wednesday night.
After Wednesday's doubleheader, Kansas coach Ritch Price confirmed that he was shutting down Marks for the season and the junior left-hander would take a redshirt. Marks had been undergoing physical therapy to return to the Kansas rotation after having surgery to repair a tear in the labrum of his throwing shoulder.
"Him and I talked in Florida," Price said. "He wasn't ready to throw his bullpins in Florida and I talked with his dad Monday and we made the decision that he's going to red-shirt. He's not ready to contribute at this point in time."
Marks, who suffered his injury during the summer started throwing again in January and the hope was to have him back in the rotation by April 1. He threw his first bullpen on Feb. 16 and progressed steadily until recently.
The now-certain absence of Marks from the Kansas rotation hurts on two levels.
For one, until Wednesday, the Jayhawks were comforted with the knowledge that Marks would eventually return this season and be back to form in time for the stretch run through the Big 12 and conference tournament.
The Kansas pitching staff is deeper than it has been in years, but it's not as top-heavy as a successful Big 12 staff needs to be.
"it's still a pretty solid staff, but with him I think our pitching staff would have been top five in the conference, easy, just because he's that good," junior first baseman Preston Land said.
For another, Marks has developed into a motivational presence in the Kansas dugout. Even on his off days the last two seasons, he was one of the most animated players in the dugout. While Marks will no doubt continue to be an enthusiastic presence at home for Kansas, he will be missed on the road. Price said Marks wouldn't travel with the team for road conference series.
"He's a valuable part of our team," Price said. "Now he's got to become that guy who can't help you on the field, but can help you in the dugout."
With this season out of the question, Marks must now wait until next season to build upon a strong sophomore campaign.
in the Big 12 in strikeouts. He struck out a career high 10 batters against Oklahoma State and, against Kansas State, he took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, surrendering only one hit in seven shutout innings.
In 2007, Marks led Kansas with 91 strikeouts, 15 starts and 89.2 innings pitched and he tied for fifth
Marks came into his own as the season wore on, recording a 3.28 ERA during his final six starts. His development continued into the summer with the Duluth Huskies where he pitched a no-hitter. But before the summer season ended, Marks began experiencing pain in his throwing shoulder and discovered the tear in his labrum.
Price said Marks would have an MRI today to make sure there was no structural damage, but Price ruled out the possibility of Marks coming back this season. Price's only hope was that a clean MRI would psychologically allow Marks to take
the next step to recovery.
"Our goal now is to send him back out in July, back up to Duluth, put him on a pitch count, pitch him every fifth day so he can get some work the last six weeks of the summer, and then come back in the fall and be completely 100 percent," Price said.
Price is also taking into consideration Marks' future in case he's drafted in June's MLB Amateur Draft.
"We want what's best for him and for him to get that opportunity that he so richly deserves, but he's got to get healthy," Price said. "We're not going to jeopardize his health at this point in time by pushing him."
Marks was unavailable for comment.

Jayhawks bounce back to defeat Missouri State 4-3
The University of Kansas softball team successfully bounced back from their rough weekend in Oklahoma. The team swept Missouri State last night, a team that was coming off a recent victory against those same Sooners who gave Kansas so much trouble.
The Jayhawks opened up with a close 4-3 victory over the Lady Bears. The team had trouble starting off the game, leaving the bases loaded in the first inning, but they got the momentum going in the fourth inning.
Junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto led off the inning with a solo home run. Sophomore designated player Ally Stanton tapped an infield single that miraculously stayed in fair territory because of a great amount of spin on the ball. Senior left fielder Betsy Wilson reached on an error to load the bases and junior center fielder Dougie McCauley was hit by a pitch for the second time in the game to drive in another run.
The Jayhawks let the Lady Bears right back in the game in the top of the fifth inning though. Junior pitcher Valerie George and junior third baseman Val Chapple both
had throwing errors in the inning that led to two Missouri State runs.
Freshman right fielder Liz Kocon put the Jayhawks right back in the lead though with a solo home run that slowly made its way out of the ballpark.
Missouri State mounted a comeback in the top of the 7th inning, but Kocon proved too much for the Lady Bears to handle delivering the winning single in the bottom of the seventh.
Coach Tracy Bunge was very happy with the play of Kocon in the game. "I think she was down on herself a little bit after her performance at Oklahoma so it was good to see her come back and swing the bat," Bunge said.
The Jayhawks cruised to an 8-0 victory in the second game of
Crisosto said the team talked about how important it was to get these wins against Missouri State right after the Oklahoma game. "We were like, we need to get these next wins on Wednesday. It's good because it's a region win and we've showed people in the Missouri Valley Conference that we can beat them and we will." Crisosto said.
the double header. Sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelka yielded only four hits to the Lady Bears and the KU offense compiled eight hits and seven walks in the five-inning game.
McCaulley had a big performance going three for four at the plate with two doubles and 2 RBIs. Wilson and sophomore second baseman Sara Ramirez both crushed home runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, providing a spark from the bottom of the batting order.
Bunge was pleased to see the power output from the bottom of the order and she was not surprised to see it from Ramirez.
"When she takes a hack, she takes a hack. Kid doesn't get cheated often." Bunge said. She was slightly surprised by Wilson's power outburst.
"Betsy Wilson, you don't expect it from that kid. She had her first
Bunge said she was very pleased with the team's performance; especially getting important regional wins against a tough Missouri State team. "These were the kinds of games that we have talked to our team all along that we've got to get," Bunge said.
The Jayhawks will face Texas Tech back at Arrocha Ballpark on Saturday and Sunday. Crisosto said the team what be out to prove themselves again. "We were looking to send a message too, since they've been ranked above us preseason in the Big 12, but we'll take care of business this weekend," Crisosto said.

career one as a senior earlier this year. She's been on the ball better here of late and I think she's hitting with a lot more confidence right now," Bunge said.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Bonnie Henrickson has her team believing it can prolong its run in the WNIT. Kansas is completely focused on advancing, but its road woes have been of epic proportions and don't seem likely to end now. The Jayhawks need a huge game from Boogaard to combat the Spartans 6-foot-9 center Allyssa DeHaan, and foul trouble in the post might ruin their chances of an upset.
QUESTION MARK
Can Kansas make outside shots to keep Michigan State from packing the lane?
Kansas was nine of 13 from three-point range against Evansville. That allowed Henrickson's team to use shot fakes to penetrate rather than settle for difficult shots outside the paint. If McCray, Morris, Kohn and freshman forward Nicollette Smith can draw the Spartans out on the perimeter, the Jayhawks are much more likely to find easy points in the form of putbacks and layups in the lane.

MSU TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
If Kansas is motivated by its late season collapse that kept them out of the NCAA tournament, then Michigan State is pushed by the fact that it could, and maybe should, have made the tourney field. The Spartans beat Big 12 champion Kansas State, played tournament teams like Oklahoma, Hartford and Louisiana and finished 11-9 in a difficult Big 10. Much like Kansas, Michigan State views this as a second chance and an opportunity to prove something, only it gets to do that on its home court. The Spartans are 10-4 at home this season and have won five straight including their WNIT second round victory over Bowling Green.
QUESTION MARK
Will Michigan State handle sophomore guard forward Danielle McCray's physical play?
The Spartans' guards are used to covering players like sophomore guards LaChelda Jacobs and Sade Morris, who rely mostly on speed. However, McCray possesses a very rare combination of speed and brute force, which is the reason she leads Kansas in points and rebounds, despite standing just 5-foot-11. Michigan State may be able to let McCray run wild and still come out victorious. On the other hand, it'd be a good idea for the Spartans to try and shut her down and force the rest of the team to step up.

editor's note
Running is the bane of my existence.
I've hated running ever since the dreaded days of middle and high school gym class when we were forced to run (gasp!) The Mile. It traumatized me, mostly because I was always one of the stragglers who was subjected to
P. B. JONES
the judging eyes of those with more athletic prowess who had finished long before. So yeah, you could say I'm looking for a better way to get in shape.
If you're anything like me, read Jeff Briscoe's story on page 10 and discover some new ways to work off that weight. Personally, I'd take pole dancing over a treadmill any day.
Dani Hurst, editor
The sentence that ran stated: "Aronson also says that non-vegetarians can have healthier diets than vegetarians simply because they do eat meat."
The sentence should have read:
"Aronson also says that simply avoiding meat does not ensure a healthy diet.What is included is just as important as what is excluded."
"Staying Healthy with Healthy Eating," which ran in the March 13 issue, misquoted Dina Aronson.

Jennifer Kongs, Topeka junior, grows her own garden. "It's like reliving that whole kindergarten experiment with the seed in a cup. Plus, food that you pick the day that you're going to eat it tastes so much better." Kongs says.
Kongs recommends starting out with tomatoes or bell peppers because they're moderately easy to grow and growing them is much cheaper than buying them at the grocery store.
Herbs are also a great item to grow. Freshly grown herbs are much stronger than herbs that have been sitting in a jar for months. Some easy starters are basil and mint.
"If you can kill a mint, you need help," Kongs says.
But you might need help, anyway. Berrigan Willmott, Lawrence senior; warns that many Lawrence yards may not be suitable for growing because of years of soil destruction from construction and pollution.
Thankfully, Lawrence has community gardens just in case you need that help. You can go to these gardens to help out, learn what in the cucumber you're doing, and possibly even take some fresh vegetables home with you.

greening it your guide to greener living
By Lauren Keith
Forget Hollywood.
Global warming is making horrible movie sequels better than those hotheads in the hills can.
Soon coming to a Midwest near you: An Inconvenient Truth 2: Motherfuckin' Snakes in the Motherfuckin' Great Plains.
That's right. But why exactly are there snakes on this Plain?
According to a study by the U.S. Geological Survey, the python's habitat is expanding northward with the increase in temperatures caused by global warming. As the Midwest warms up, our grasslands, previously uninhabitable to such snakes, could become home to the 23-foot-long creatures.
"If we had normal, cold winters, that snake probably wouldn't survive, but we haven't had winters like that for a long time," says Joe Collins, a herpetologist with the Kansas Biological Survey.

Researchers first discovered a Burmese Python invasion in Florida in 2003.The Burmese Python,
a type of Indian Python, is an invasive species, meaning that it is not native to the United States and researchers think that the growing python population came from the offspring of a pet that someone released into the wild. The colony of pythons is now self-sustaining.
"The farmer said,'All of my cats and small dogs are gone.What can I do?' Collins says.
Climate models for the year 2100 show the python's potential habitat slithering north and putting a stranglehold on the eastern half of Kansas, including the Lawrence area.
Collins says he received a call about a year ago from a farmer who lived south of Lawrence who said he had a snake problem.The farmer mailed him the shedded skin of a large snake, which Collins was that that of an Indian Python and was about 11 feet long.
"The Indian Python is loose and breeding in the Everglades," Collins says, "it could go as far north as Kansas, but that's a hypothesis based on guesses. We aren't sure that it's going to happen."
"Reptiles are temperature-dependent." Collins says. "If it goes down to freezing, they can die. If we have global warming, the mean annual temperature would increase so that the habitats would creep upwards."
The habitable areas for reptiles are always based on temperature because these animals are cold-blooded and must have warm weather to survive.
snakes typically live underneath buildings and come out during the night.
"As far as I know, that Indian Python is still down there," Collins says."The snake could have been a pet that got turned loose or escaped. It's a good example showing that
it's just not cold enough up here anymore."
Collins said that other invasive reptile species have already been seen on the KU campus. Species like the Italian Wall Lizard, which can now be found in Lawrence, originally came from Europe.
"There are lots of species that come in through the South, a lot of those from Florida," Collins says. "There are 64 kinds of invasive species in the U.S., and many have been moving north."
Collins says Mediterranean Geckos were discovered two years ago in Lenexa. The geckos were crawling under warehouse lights in the business district.
"There is a lot of lumber here from Florida," he says. "The animals can escape when packages or crates break. Florida has a big, big problem. All kinds of things are loose down there."
As Kansas' climate gets warmer, the eastern part of the state would provide a better habitat to animals previously found in wetland-filled areas like Florida.
"It's more humid here in the eastern part of the state, so we would have more tropical animals," Collins says."Desert animals would probably do better in the western part."
Calling these recently moved-in species invasive is somewhat misleading. At least with amphibians and reptiles, Kansas' ecosystems have not seen many negative impacts, Collins says.
"There are no problems that we know of," he says. "We could not find any bacteria or diseases. Many think that the python poses a danger to humans, but I don't think so. But who knows what will ultimately happen. This definitely changes things."

DIY: tattoo yourself
MIX A CONCOCTION FOR HENNA AND GIVE YOURSELF A TEMPORARY TATTOO
Call me a wimp, but I do not think I could handle getting a tattoo. I've always wanted one, though, so I decided to try something a little less painful. Henna. Alexis Friskel, shift manager at the Merc, 901 Iowa St., provided a recipe for making homemade henna. All you need is several ounces of henna powder and water or lemon juice. The Merc sells red henna for $1.35 per ounce. Although the recipe is simple, you will need to have some time. Put a few teaspoons of henna in a ceramic or glass bowl. I found that about 4 teaspoons of henna made several designs on my arm and ankle. Slowly mix in lemon juice or water, a little at a time. You want the henna to be a thick paste and not too runny. Keep adding lemon juice until you have a paste. Cover and let stand for 4 to 12 hours. The longer you let the henna stand, the more potent the dye will become and the longer the tattoo will last.
To apply the henna, you can use a variety of
tools including sticks, wire, paintbrushes or squeeze bottles. I put the henna in a small Ziploc sandwich bag and pushed it to one corner of the bag. Cut the tip of the bag off so you can squeeze the henna paste out in a thin line. Make a design on your skin using the henna. Make sure to apply a thick layer of henna.
Once you've completed the design, leave the henna on for 6 to 12 hours. The longer it stays on your skin, the darker the design will be. You also need to keep your skin warm and avoid water in order for the henna to be absorbed. I wrapped gauze around my henna tattoos to keep the henna in place and to keep it warm.
Scrape the henna off to see the design. It will get darker over the next day or two and will last for several weeks.

One night of fun one day of regret
By Kaitlyn Syring
ksyring@kansan.com
It's finally the weekend, and you and your friends go out on the town.You pound down a few drinks in search of the absence of inhibition that will allow you to get your groove on.You dance,you sing maybe you get a few phone numbers.
The next day, when you come out of your alcohol-induced slumber,you wince as the sun zaps you right in the eyes.Your head starts to pound as you search your mind for bits and pieces of last night,hoping that nothing too embarrassing flies back into your memory.As you attempt to sit up, your stomach turns,and the room spins.You,my friend,have a hangover.
Hangovers are a very familiar consequence of college nightlife. Though many students' drinking experiences are accompanied by a headache and upset stomach, not many students know what exactly causes hangovers or how they might be able
to prevent them.
Causes
Stephen Ilardi, doctorate professor of psychology at the University, says alcohol temporarily impairs function of the frontal cortex of your brain. This, he says, leads
to decreased inhibition, impaired judgment and increase intensity of mood states. Alcohol also disables the motor coordination circuits in your brain. Ilardi says that in low-to-moderate doses, it increases dopamine activity, which can light up the brain's pleasure centers and boost energy, giving you a sense of well-being.
At larger doses, it has more of a depressive effect.
A
hangover, lardi says, is caused by several things: the dehydration effects of alcohol (which cause headaches because the brain shrinks slightly away from the skull), the buildup of a toxic alcohol metabolite—called acetaldehyde—and hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, which is caused by the temporary decrease in liver function when you drink.
However, he says, people differ dramatically in their response to alcohol and their proneness to hangovers. People with a greater ability to detoxify alcohol and its metabolic byproducts are less prone to having severe hangovers.
Katelyn Stroud, Kansas City, Kan., junior, says that her drink of choice is a Dirty Shirley (Sprite, grenadine and vodka) with a splash of cranberry juice. "If that's not around," she says, "I will just drink whatever someone buys me." Stroud says that the day after drinking, she will usually have a little headache or a stomach ache.
John Kolhlhoff, a pharmacist at Patterson's Healthcare Pharmacy in Abilene, says that dehydration and loss of vitamins are the biggest causes of hangovers. He also says that the type of alcohol can make a difference in the way you feel the next day.
Ryan Johnson, Dodge City senior, says he prefers to drink stout beer. He estimates that he has a hangover about one out of every four times he drinks.
Prevention
Kollhoff says that one way to prevent getting a hangover is to take vitamin B before and after drinking. This will help maintain the water-soluble vitamins that you lose when you drink. Taking a vitamin B tablet (or eating vitamin B-rich foods like poultry, beef, cheese and milk) will give you a healthy dose.
He says that eating before drinking is very beneficial, but you need to be sure to not overeat. "Alcohol slows down your digestive process, keeping food in you for a longer amount of time." he says."People feel completely stuffed and nauseous if they eat too much and drink on top of that." Drinking water between alcoholic beverages helps tremendously in preventing hangovers, Kollhoff says. This process keeps you hydrated throughout the night, reducing the risk of a major headache the next day.
Carbonated beverages, like champagne, get absorbed into your system faster, he says, so those can cause a worse hangover than non-carbonate drinks. Also, Kollhoff says, darker, aged alcohols contain substances called congeners, which contribute to the flavor in the alcohol. Congeners make hangovers worse, he says. "Just look at the color." Kollhoff says. "Whiskey and brandy, those will do you in.Vodka and gin, those are clear, so they're not going to have those hangover-inducing

congeners."
Stroud says she tries to drink lots of water before she goes to sleep after a night of drinking so she won't have a hangover the next day. But Johnson has a philosophy more like Kollhoff's. He says that you should never go out on an empty stomach, and that self-control is key."It's okay to say no when your hangover-bound friends demand another shot out of you," Johnson says."Odds are that they won't remember you told them no anyway."
What if you don't follow this advice, and you wind up with the mother of all hangovers? You can do a few things to ease those aches. First, drink some water:"Your body needs to get those fluids running again," Kollhoff says.
Kollhoff also has a warning for those in hangover land:"Fight the temptation to buy into the myth about drinking another beer. If you didn't throw up before, you will after that."
Next, he says, take a pain reliever, like Tylenol or Advil. Then eat a small snack like crackers or toast to boost your blood sugar and ease your stomach.
Finally, go back to bed. Time cures all hangovers, and when you wake up, yours may very well be gone.
Johnson takes a relaxed route when trying to cure a hangover. He says that he usually takes a long, hot shower to try to unwind. Then he drinks some water and promptly returns to bed, like Kollhoff suggests.
Stroud, on the other hand, does what many college students do when they're in pain after a long night of drinking."I usually go eat some really greasy food, like Wendy's or Chipotle," she says.
So when you go out this weekend, remember a few things:Take your vitamins.Eat something,but don't overheat. Choose clear drinks.Have some $ \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} $ between drinks.Pace yourself.And if you still feel bad the next day,grab some water and crackers and head back to bed.

that's disgusting health NO DOUBLE DIPPING, DUDE
EMERGENCY SERVICES
Almost everyone is guilty. You and your friends gather around a bowl of salsa or queso, and you find that after one bite, you still have a bit of chip left. So you dip again. Bad move: Double dipping spreads tons of bacteria.
Paul Dawson, a food microbiologist and professor at Clemson University, conducted a recent study with a team of undergraduates on the effects of double dipping. He says that three successive double
dips spread about 10,000 bacteria from the eater's mouth to the communal bowl.With each bite, a person piles approximately one to two grams of dip on a chip or cracker, and thus, consumes 50 to 100 bacteria from someone else's mouth. Dawson says the type of dip makes a difference in the spread of bacteria. If a dip is more viscous, or thick, more dip sticks to the chip, leaving fewer bacteria remaining in the bowl. But with runny dips, lots of germs slide off the chip and are left floating behind. Thus, more bacteria loom in salsa than in cheese dip or bean dip.
Dawson says that simply turning a chip around after one bite may not be enough to prevent bacteria transfer. While this may lower the amount of bacteria from saliva, it increases the amount from your hands. He recommends getting a new chip every time. Buy smaller chips that accommodate one trip to the dip. And the next time you're tempted by the aroma of warm queso at a party, look around at all the people sampling from that bowl. If you wouldn't fancy kissing all of them, you should probably back away from the dip.

A threesome of enjoyable alternative exercises

Hash House Harriers
This club is based on a centuries-old tradition called Hound and Harrier. The idea centers around a bunch of people chasing after another person. Don't worry
Samantha Bennett, a 2006 graduate who participates in Hash races in Kansas City, says she works out six days a week, but uses Hash to mix up just going to the gym.
about looking bad in front of experienced runners, though. The Hash House Harriers proudly calls itself "A drinking club with a running problem."
Do you walk into the Rec just dreading how boring your workout is going to be? You see people there working out and wonder how they keep their motivation and you can't believe they never get sick of their workouts.
Here's the premise: Races begin with groups as small as just four or as large as 30 or 40. Runners meet up and drink a beer or two (depending on tolerance and the amount of fun desired). After the group socializes for a bit, one person takes off running, marking his or her course with chalk circles on the ground or on trees that the other runners will follow. This person is called the hare. After the hare has a sufficient head start—about 15 to 20 minutes
But there are plenty of ways to exercise that can seem more entertaining and sociable than just spinning on a bike with your iPod on.
Truth is, a lot of people can't even get themselves motivated enough to ever get bored with their workout. Getting off the couch and into your running shoes is often the hardest part of staying active and healthy. Long runs on a treadmill and waiting for weights to open up can make exercising excruciating. Too many people get stuck with the idea that the only way to lose weight or gain muscle is through humdum workouts.
I've managed to try out a few alternatives to the average trip to the gym that'll keep you in shape and entertained at the same time.

Races consist of both the uber-athletic and your average drinking enthusiast with a beer gut. The athletic types don't always finish first. Keep in mind, some Hash clubs insist that the first person to finish the race drink for his or her accomplishment. Most runs involve walking to search for the trail and short breaks. Don't worry if you're not a fast runner. No awards are handed out, and races generally consist of packs of people helping each other find and stay on the course.
Hash clubs exist all over the world. There is one in the Kansas City area, and a club recently formed in Lawrence. Check the Hash House Harriers' global Web site, www.gtthh.com, for a more complete view of the experience, as well as listings of all 1,862 clubs around the world.
Pole Dancing
It sounds slutty, and maybe that's what I felt walking into the pole dancing studio to try this one out. I'm not sure exactly what slutty feels like, but if the end result is anything like the sense of accomplish I felt after trying pole dancing, I need to do it more often.
Because the moves in pole dancing involve using both upper and lower body muscles, as well as plenty of movement, you can gain muscle and burn fat.
An hour-long workout on the pole can burn 600 calories. Smith says.She started the workouts three years ago while working at the Ford plant in Kansas City, Mo.A year later, she was 35 pounds lighter with no help from dieting or any other exercise.
Natalie Smith, instructor and owner of Pole Worx in Kansas City, Kan., says that while most girls see a shiny pole and think it's just something to play on jungle gym-style, girls often worry what people will think if they go swinging around a strip pole. That's why she only conducts private classes for groups who all know each other. She caters to groups who want to work out together in a more enjoyable way.
"I didn't go to the gym. It felt like another job.After a hard day of work, this makes you feel better,happier.It relieves stress and makes you feel,like,7 years old again," Smith says.
"You can't go by weight at first because it tones so well you'll notice your pants getting looser and later you will see the weight start to fall off". Smith says.
I worried about how to explain to my mother that I broke my neck pole dancing as I watched Smith show me the correct way to spin around on the pole upside down. But, lifting up from the ground, pirouetting around the silver blur between my legs and sticking the landing was one of the
most rewarding experiences I've had in a long time.
Smith says anyone can do the workouts. She has both a 60-year-old woman and a 250-pound woman who regularly attend sessions.
She says everyone starts at the beginner level, but most people can catch on quickly. You don't have to be coordinated or overly strong, as most of the moves involve momentum rather than strength. Workouts are good for a girl's night out, a bachelorette party or for regular exercise.
Smith says that while most of her classes are filled with girls, she does have the occasional male student (besides just me).
Classes can be as small as just four people or as large as 20 or more. Generally, groups are female only, but Smith will allow women to invite males to pole dance if all the other women in the group are comfortable with it.An hour-long session at Pole Worx runs about $20, and the business also offers packages for weekly sessions that last one or two months
Rock Climbing
The Rec offers climbs for beginners and adrenaline junkies alike. Bybee says some people are scared of the height, but there are trained staff who can guide timid climbers up to the top of the wall. You just have to be brave and try something new, Bybee says.
You walk past it every time you go to the Rec to do your same boring workout, but next time, go ahead and tackle that rock wall. Connor Bybee, member of the KU Rock Climbing Club, says he sees at least three new climbers every day at the Rec.
"You just can't be afraid—just give it a try. Try it at least three times before you decide not to come back," he says.
Workouts can be tailored to work on cardio or on building strength. Cycles of going up and down the wall can
quickly raise the heart rate and leave a climber dripping in sweat. Bybee, who runs and lifts weights, says he sweats more on the wall than on the treadmill. Climbers can also do "bouldering" on shorter walls. Bybee says the short, hard moves can be a way to challenge yourself.
"It's usually done leaning back, so there are few foot holds. It requires more forearm strength and grip strength," he says.
Besides the workout, rock climbing can simply be a way to get together with friends.
Patrick Sargent, Houston sophomore, has climbed with friends back home. While he says they didn't really do it so much for the workout, he enjoyed getting out and being active
"I think more people than you think want to get outside more than anything." Sargent says. "I just want to do something physical."
Take a break from your next regular workout and try something that will leave you with the same post-workout buzz and soreness in new places.

A road map to music utopia
By Ben Garmis
Welcome back everybody, how was your spring break? Wow, that sounds amazing! Body shots, you say? Awesome! Mine? Oh, well mine was pretty awesome, as well... On Saturday I drove nine hours, on Sunday I worked nine hours, and on Monday I got my wisdom teeth pulled. After the extractions of the four teeth, I spent most of my week in a massive amount of pain. That said, my break wasn't as bad as it sounds, as I had two reprieves from the pain. First, some pretty powerful prescription narcotics—which might not have made the pain go away as much as they made my brain not quite complex enough to understand it, and second, I had School of Language's debut album, Sea From Shore.
TOMMY
When I first got the album, I really wasn't expecting too much. Frankly, I didn't have much reason to. I'd heard good things about the band Field Music from one of my friends, and I knew that School of Language was their singer David Brewis' solo endeavor, but I didn't put too much weight on a single friend's recommendation of the same
artist's other project. Other than that, all I knew about the band was what their publicity company had sent me Language's press kit.
Generally, press kits try to make the bands look as good as possible, so when I saw the words "incessant looping" used in one of the reviews hand-picked by the label to hype the album, I wasn't sure what to think. Usually, I associate the word "incessant" with something that's annoying and unceasing. So does the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. As I mentioned earlier, I really didn't have high hopes going into this.
And so, with a complete lack of excitement, I slid the album into my car's stereo and began my drive home to Chicago from Lawrence. Immediately, sounds of Brewis voicing "aaah,""eeee" and "oooh" began looping rapidly, culminating in some sort of amalgam of sounds that could conceivably be called music. After about 15 seconds of that, I thought to myself "Yes! Incessant was totally the right word!" and switched to the radio.
6
If it hadn't been such a long drive or there had been something better on the radio, my foray into Sea From Shore likely would have ended there. I would forever think my friend's taste in music sucked and I wouldn't be writing about this album today. But it was, there wasn't, her taste doesn't and I am. Convincing myself I owed it to my friend to listen to it all the way through, I popped the CD back in and braced myself. Turns out that after that first 15 seconds or so, something very interesting emerges. Sea From Shore is bookended by a quartet of songs, all named "Rockist (Part _)." two at the beginning and two at the end. Those are actually the only songs that have those looped vowels, and it actually works with the instruments that kick in after the first few seconds. Throughout the "Rockist" quartet, Brewis showcases the different musical styles on display throughout the album: from indie to progressive to alternative, from fast-paced to slow-and-mellow. You name it, there's something close (except country). There's really nothing to compare this album or its sound to, because it doesn't really stay in one genre long enough. Even so, the album doesn't strike me as schizophrenic. It's just the work of an artist who can take different concepts and create a solid, whole and well-rounded final product. The glue holding everything together, in this case, is Brewis' voice, which reminds me of Radiohead's Thom Yorke with an ability to hit low notes.
Are the loops incessant? Yes. But after the first listen they start to grow on you—the album itself is now on an incessant loop on my iPod. Does the album showcase an abundance of underlying talent? Absolutely.

with Sherri DuPree from Eisley

MARTINI
I'll just use the text from the image.
The four people are standing in front of a metal fence, looking directly at the camera. They appear to be young adults, possibly in their late teens or early twenties. The person in the middle is wearing a white dress with ruffled sleeves and a bow on the back. To the left, there is a woman with dark hair wearing a black top and a long necklace. Next to her, there is another woman with blonde hair wearing a white dress with ruffles. Finally, there is a boy with short hair wearing a blue shirt.
(From left): DuPree siblings Chauntelle, Weston, Stacy and Sherri with cousin Garron DuPree.
This indie-pop group hailing from Tyler, Texas, mixes strong, poetic lyrics with fluid, angelic melodies. Eisley is made up of of siblings Chauntelle, Stacy, Sherri and Weston DuPree and their cousin, Garron DuPree. And papa DuPree is their manager. Eisley will be playing at Liberty Hall on April 7, so you'll soon have a chance to see this modern-day Partridge Family.
Vocalist and guitarist Sherri DuPree talks to Jayplay about living an ideal and a not-so-ideal rock-star life.
How did Eisley come to be?
It was all an accident, really. We all grew up obsessed with music because our parents were obsessed.
I guess it's always been in our bloodline. We just started picking up guitars and playing. Then my sister, Stacy, wrote a song, and we thought,"Weird.We can write our own songs." Then my brother, Weston, just randomly started playing drums and we were a band.
What is direction of your latest abum, Combinations?
We've all been through a lot of crap this year with breakups and separations. It's had a positive effect on the music.The songs are raw and gritty and have all this goodness to them.
Who's the biggest nerd?
Weston picks apart anything and puts it back together. He has this weird knowledge of how things work.I read a lot of graphic novels and comic books and like action figures.
What's it like going back the slower-paced life in Tyler, Texas, after being on the road? I love being home so much. It's awesome to hang out with my family and friends and just do nothing. This time back I've been spending a lot of time writing. Tyler's just a small town. There's literally nothing to do, so you just hang out with your friends and sit at
coffee shops. That's how pathetic it's been here. It's a completely different pace.
Are there many heated moments of sibling rivalry?
Not as much as people would like to think. We get along really well because we're all so close in age.
We grew up in this tiny, crappy house doing music together and having a blast. We definitely argue, but it's really like we're all just best friends.
You've sung with New Found Glory, Bright Eyes and Head Automatica. What was your favorite collaboration?
I just did a little project with Say Anything and Saves The Day. They're recording together and they had me help out with it.
I saw your art just made it onto a Macbeth shoe. Any other artistic endeavors in the future?
I would love to do more art. I'm trying to get a Web site up with my stuff. Kids are always asking if I will do prints. It's definitely my favorite thing to do outside of music. I'd love to work on children's books.
You were an avid blogger long before it became a marketing necessity. Has this affected your fan base?
It's always been very important to be close with our fans. Before I was in a band, I would get on band Web sites and it would be so tough to give them appreciation. You have to stay close with the fans.

how we met MUSIC TO BLAME
Michaela Bloman and Kent Szianderbach, Wichita freshmen, had the same taste in music long before they knew each other; and this was the reason they eventually met.
In high school, Michaela's friend from algebra class let her download music from her computer that she had downloaded from Szlanderbach's computer. When Michaela kept asking to do it, her friend just referred her to Szlanderbach so that she no longer had to be the middleman. They started talking online and going to local independent-rock shows. "It was pretty clear that we should start dating." Szlanderbach said.
Kent Szlanderbach and Michaela Bloman
The couple came to the University together, and they have been dating for three years.

SEALED WITH A KISS
A brief investigation into kissing and why we do it
Lauren Krause was on her way to the Marine Corps Ball with Anthony Green, a Marine her friend had set her up with while they visited California. She was immediately attracted to him. Before going to the ball, Green stopped at a nearby beach. There was an immediate connection, Krause, Goddard junior, remembers. As they played around on shore he asked her for a quick kiss on the cheek. She agreed and moved closer but was thrown off guard when he caught her lips with his. At first she was shocked but soon gave she in to the kiss. "It was just right, Soft, warm and salty," she says. The two have now been dating for a year.
A brief history lesson
Kissing. It's a behavior that occurs in more than 90 percent of human cultures, says Susan Hughes, associate professor of psychology at Albright College in Reading, Pa. Whether it's playful, romantic or somewhat naughty, kissing seems to be something everyone is doing. But why do we do it? Why has swapping spit stood the test of time?
Another ancient text that recorded kissing was the Kama Sutra, which was written somewhere between the third and sixth century. Often misidentified as an ancient sex position manual, Demirjian says the Kama Sutra was really a dating manual for bachelors in India. It not only instructed bachelors on grooming, art, music, conversation and yes, sex positions, but it also identified 17 kisses.
The here and now
Today kissing has evolved into a romantic and sexual behavior. Research at the University of Albany in New York has tested evolutionary hypotheses as to why we kiss. They administered a series of three questionnaires to more than 1,000 undergraduate students, which verified three hypotheses—kissing is a tool for mate assessment, kissing induces bonding and kissing increases sexual arousal and receptivity. The study also found sex differences among the results. Men were more likely to have sex with a bad kisser then women. Men were also more likely to have sex without kissing than women would.
"It's great to find such striking sex differences in a common behavior;" Hughes, the associate professor; says. Although most of this may sound like common sense Hughes notes little research has been devoted to studying kissing, one of the most common human behaviors.
Although she doesn't count this as the first kiss that matters, she can
still remember standing in a circle during playtime and innocently kissing her four-year-old boyfriend. Krause says kissing is an essential component to any relationship.
The physical contact and intimacy is what Ryan Tally, 2005 graduate, enjoys about kissing the most. "That moment when you pull away after the kiss and your faces are inches apart," Talley says. "That feeling of being close and intimate is my favorite part of kissing."
At midnight on New Years Eve, Tally had his first important kiss. It was with a friend he had feelings for. The situation forced a kiss as everyone around them announced that the ball was going to drop soon. When the clock struck midnight, Tally gave his friend a quick peck. But what started as a quick peek evolved into a deep kiss that validated their feelings for one another.
Kissing can be intimate and it can also break tension. Cassie Gerken, Goddard junior, remembers
All kisses have to start somewhere.
"My first kiss was at my daycare when I was four or five," says Gerken, junior, says her mother.
"He must have thought his tongue was weird. He must have thought his tongue was weird."
Although we may never know exactly why we kiss, it seems to be a behavior that has stood the test of time. So whether it's your first kiss, your best kiss or your worst kiss, kissing seems to be a memorable experience that has KU students talking.
"Kissing never goes out of style," Demirjian, the author, says. "There's something titillating and sexy about it. It's a prelude to sex."
Like Mistinguett, the risqué French dancer, singer and actress, once said: "A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point."
what started out as an awkward kiss with Ernie Mendez, a Marine she dated for almost a year. Mendez had been in Iraq for seven months. As Gerken waited on base to welcome him home, her expectations for the inevitable kiss got higher."When he came back we didn't have much to say to each other. I had been participating in American society while he was knee deep in sand," she says. Although their greeting wasn't the fairy tale she had envisioned, they soon kissed, and that seemed to ease the situation."Our kiss brought us back to each other," she says.
Some students are not seduced by the charm of the kiss. Avednego Chavez, Denver, Colo., junior, says kissing is both intimate and he doesn't care for it. "For me, sex is more casual than kissing." Chavez says. "Sex is less intimate." Chavez says he used to be the guy who felt kissing was a means to an end. Since then, he has developed a new philosophy that kissing should be saved for a girl he truly has feelings for. He has not yet met that girl, and until he does, he plans to hold off on kissing anyone. Kissing is too emotional but sex releases anxiety, he says.

Drillbit Taylor
You've seen the teenager redemption story a thousand times. Kids try to become cool by being something they aren't. Failing, they become demoralized for a while before realizing that being cool is nothing more than being comfortable and confident in your
own shoes. Redemption usually comes in an ending party scene. American Pie, Dazed and Confused and Superbad come to mind.
Now add Drillbit Taylor, Superbad's pre-pubescent brother (Judd Apatow produced both films). Three boys who eerily resemble younger versions of the three Superbad teens are hopelessly trying to fit in as high school freshmen. Unlike their Superbad counterparts, these boys are looking for kisses, not hookups; acceptance, not booze. Standing in their way is the mythologized high school bully Filkins (Alex Frost), who gets his kicks by kicking, punching and pulling pranks on kids half his size. Why the sophomoric senior is always the most popular guy at school is beyond me. This guy has a few clever pranks, but they are nullified when he commits the way-overdone stuffing of a kid in his locker.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
OWEN WILSON
DUBBIT TAYLOR
BUDGET BODYGUARD
If the hikins have any value, it's to allow the movie to set up its premise: The cruel punishment sends the boys running for help. In struts Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson), an army-deserting bum fashioning himself as a bodyguard so that he can rob the parents' house and make a break for Canada. Of course, Drillbit has a change of heart. He comes to like the kids, teaches them some hilarious improvised moves to help take on Filkins, and plants himself as a substitute teacher for further protection
The movie finds a groove once Drillbit establishes himself at school with all the other characters. Wilson is up to his Wedding Crashers tricks, creatively deceiving everyone with his new identity including a love interest—and then having to pull himself up after getting caught.
Yes, the plot is extremely predictable. But the humor is mostly fresh and Wilson and the child actors make a good team. Little brother Drillbit can't fill big bro's super-huge shoes, but who really expected it to? This movie works just fine as an entertaining B-comedy.

Ego Trippin' Snoop Dogg
He may have bragging rights with a successful television show, porno (Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle) and at least a dozen hit records, but rapper Snoop Dogg's ninth album, Ego Trippin', might actually bruise his ego.
The Doggfather gets a lot of props for the innovation and risk-taking he took with this album. The first single, "Sexual Eruption," has become a smash hit and features the rapper actually singing. Surprisingly, Snoop pulls it off, and it is showcased throughout the album. Snoop doesn't forget what made him famous in the first place, though, as he brings his signature gangster flow back on songs like "Whateva You Do" and "Sets Up."
Which missing here are solid production and guest appearances. The majority of the album is produced by QDT
Snoop Dogg
PARENTAL ADVISORY
EXPLICIT CONTENT
Muzik, a production team consisting of DJ Quik, Snoop Dogg and Teddy Riley. As a result, the bulk of the album sounds the same. Previous producers Dr. Dre and The Neptunes don't have much involvement—Dre is nowhere to be found and The Neptunes produce only one track this time around.
Guest appearances from artists like Too Short, Mistah F.A.B., Pharrell and Everlast just don't stack up against previous collaborators such as Akon, The Game and R. Kelly.
No shoop fan will find this to be an average album, though it's definitely not a classic like his debut album, Duggystyle. I for one appreciate Snoop's willingness to expand his horizons with his music, but I'd prefer that he write his own lyrics next time, as he uses a lot of guest writers on Ego Tripin'.

SUNDAYS WITH DELORES speak
1
11
SUNDERLAND BIKERS
Delores pictured with the Hells Angels. She is the woman in the bottom right leaning against the bike.
How a bus drive on the wild side opened one writer's eyes
The door opened and a woman peered at me from behind the screen door of the double-wide mobile home. She was leathery and weathered.She snarled.The two braids of her soot-colored hair resembled dangling clumps of barbed wire.
"What do you want?"
"We're here about the ad for the bus."
Her lips flexed into a smirk.
"Oh. You. Come on back."
It was my junior year of high school and four friends and I were in the market for a school bus. A few of us had been passing around a copy of Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test—a novel about a bus full of stick-it-to-the-man hippies who helped kick-start the counter-culture movement of the '60s—and we were inspired. Too apathetic for a movement, we decided to buy a bus.
We followed her to the back of her house and beheld the faded, yellow vessel. To us, the pile of rotting, hole-ridden tin was nothing less than beautiful. She took us for a drive.
"Second gear is a little tricky," she shouted over the grumbling transmission. I stood next to her and watched the trees glide by in the reflection of her aviators. Who is this crazy hag? I thought to myself.
I felt a burst underneath me. The bus came to a jerky halt. "Shit. I hope you boys don't mind walking." she said without a flinch.
We got back to her house and said our goodbyes. She told us to swing by her shack sometime.
I learned a lot about this woman during the two-mile hike back to her house.Her name was Delores White Dog. She was a 57-year-old Navajo who made Native American crafts and jewelry.She sold her creations out of a "shack" on the outskirts of a flea market in Canton, Texas.She loved the Earth and expressed this love through her art.She was in love with a younger woman named Susan.Susan was a travel agent who had an ancient spirit.
Delores was the antithesis of everything my suburban Dallas life had taught me to believe. I was enamored.
A few weeks later, we finally procured ourselves a different bus (We later found out that Delores'
bus was towed back and converted into a Jerry Garcia memorial).We took out all the seats and added couches and a bed.We found some local artists to bring the bus to life with a colorful urban-psychedelic graffiti paint job.We also installed a PA system that played ice cream truck music at unbearable decibels (Unfortunately we had to cease use of this mechanism after an onslaught of disheartened children).
10
The only items we lacked were
railing for a rooftop deck and a giant cow skull for the grill. We knew no better place to find these than a flea market in Canton, Texas.
By Travis Brown
We quickly located our first two necessities, but it took us a while to find the true incentive behind our venture. The shack was actually a miniature
two-story cabin located on a wooded hill amongst other cabins and booths. The entire area looked like it belonged in a small mining town—or at least a
mining town that sold fried Twinkies. I was admiring the dream catchers and listening to a staged gunfight outside when a figure appeared in the doorway
I turned around to look at her.The hunched-over Navajo was wearing a flannel shirt and a red bandana headband. A hint of delight grazed her face.
"Those are all real bones, you know.
No one uses real bones anymore."
"You boys should come up. Have a glass of wine."
My fellow bus owners and I sat
down on a canvas cot in the 10-square-foot room, our heads pressed against the vaulted ceiling. We all drank from her jug of cheap Rossi wine and asked her a barrage of questions—like children pestering their grandfather about his war days. She told us how she once smoked a joint backstage with Jim
Morrison of the Doors and how she took acid with Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. She told us how she converted her bus into a Jerry Garcia memorial She told us about her first tattoo that said "Born to Raise Hell" and how her mom made a doctor slice off the tattooed skin and seit it back together.She told us that she had ridden with the Hells Angels.
At first, they all just seemed like stories of a delusional hippy. But then she showed us a photograph inside a 1967 issue of Look magazine. The picture showed a vicious group of Hells Angels standing around two Harley-Davidsons.
Leaning against the front tires of one of the bikes was a young lady staring at the camera with a look that said, "I don't take shit from anybody."
"That's me," she said."Man, I didn't take shit from anybody."
I came back to the shack a few more times during my senior year. Each time I would bring different friends. Each time Delores would invite us up, pour a glass of wine, smoke her home-grown grass and tell me about her life and what she had
learned. She always seemed to enjoy my curiosity.
She told me she couldn't imagine why anyone would give a damn.
But I did. I cherished every anecdote, every lesson. Each story was a shot to the detached bourgeois mindset that had enveloped me throughout my childhood. For the first time, I was seeing the world from outside of my jaded uptown Dallas subtopia. I wanted to see more and learn more, to find new perspectives and insight. I wanted to find stories and tell them.
The last time I saw her was in April 2004. I told her I was going to the University of Kansas to study journalism. She said she'd heard good things. She had a cousin in Kansas who she'd been meaning to visit.
I went back to the cabin two years later. I wanted to talk to her about writing her story. I found a man selling wind chimes and wood carvings. I asked if he knew where the previous tenant had gone.
He tried to sell me a whittled blue jay.

Annual show to raise funds to assist female victims of domestic-violence
This weekend, Margaret Hashinger Hall Theater will play host to women discussing their vaginas.
Volunteers associated with the Commission on the Status of Women will perform "The Vagina Monologues," written by Eve Ensler, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the show will go to organizations that provide services to women affected by domestic violence in Douglas County.
Lindsee Acton, Kansas City, Kan., senior and director of the show, said that an annual production of "The Vagina Monologues" had become a tradition at the University in previous years. This year the show, and in turn the fundraising, almost didn't happen.
Acton said that graduate teaching assistants in the Women's Sexuality and Gender Studies Department normally organized the performance to coincide with Women's History Month, but this year there weren't returning GTAs who were prepared to take on the responsibility.
"Usually, production starts in December and January," Acton said. "That's when we came down to the wire, and no one was planning it yet."
At that time, Acton and Lisa Moore, Parsons senior and creative director, decided to take the responsibility upon themselves to organize the production. They spread the word about the show and auditions through signs posted around campus, Facebook groups and word of mouth. At the same time, they also prepared the lighting, constructed the set and prepared the rehearsal schedule.
"The Vagina Monologues" is a collection of monologues that are based on interviews with thousands of women from different walks of life concerning their vaginas and womanhood.
Though Acton said the subject matter of the show ranged from sad to empowering, some cast members thought the content of the show may be a bit too rough for certain members of their family. Cast members said reactions from their families ranged from disgust to overwhelming support.
"My family is fundamentally Catholic," said Kiana Schneider, Atchison senior and performer of the monologue "My Angry Vagina." "I tried to tell my mom I was in 'The Vagina Monologues' and she completely freaked out. She got nervous and said, 'I don't know why you're in that,' and she can't even say the word vagina."
Some of the actors thought the subjects explored in the show would have been especially difficult for their fathers to handle. Laura Kozak, Shawnee freshman and performer of "Reclaiming Cunt," said that she didn't ask her father to attend because she "didn't know if he would approve of his daughter going up on stage and touching herself and screaming cunt in front of a bunch of people."
While some of the actors were cautious
The cast for "The Vagina Monologues" includes students associated with the Commission on the Status of Women. Proceeds from the show will go to women's organizations in Douglas County
but their fathers seeing the performance, they agreed that men can benefit from the messages in the show. Kozak said that typically men don't hear a lot about women talking about their vaginas.

"I think it will be educational for him," Moore said. "My dad's really conservative, but my family looked the show up and they know what it's about and they're excited for me. They know how much I'm for the empowerment of women. It's going to be shocking, but even if they feel uncom-

In addition to the crowd benefiting from the show, women's shelters in Douglas County will benefit financially from the performance. Women's Transitional Care Services will receive 45 percent of the funds raised from the show.
fortable, these are still issues that women face"
Acton said that the money will go into a WTCS fund that is used to financially support women who have been victims of domestic abuse. Acton said this particular fund provided help for victims of domestic abuse to pay their rent, put down payments on apartments and cover other financial needs. When Acton and Moore tried to decide which fund to donate to, they found that this particular branch of WTCS's fund was underfunded, and as a result could only help a few women each year. They asked that their donation be placed directly into this fund to assist more women.
The actors said they were happy to help WTCS and have volunteered their time to participate in the show. Many of them
had seen the show previously and found it exciting to portray roles that they enjoyed in previous performances at other theaters. Schneider said she saw the show before she became a part of the performance and was cast in her favorite role: the woman in "My Anny Vagina."
"My scene is so true; there is a lot of weird stuff that people do like douching and — I don't know — all of it's ridiculous," Schneider said. "I like that some of the monologues have a humorous side instead of just complaining."
There will also be an art exhibit on display provided by WTCS. The exhibit is known as "The Clothesline Project" and provides survivors of domestic abuse, their family and their friends with a way to tell their stories and begin the road to recovery. The project started with blank T-shirts being donated to women's shelters across the country and given to survivors of domestic abuse. Survivors then used the shirts as a diary. The basic T-shirts were converted into works of art that showed the emotions of the victims in the form of pictures, messages and stories describing the victims' experiences. The victims used the shirts as
a cathartic art project that others, who may or may not have experiences with domestic abuse, can view. Some of these shirts are displayed around the country at events such as "The Vagina Monologues."
"They are going to be displayed collectively and they can be a very powerful message," Acton said. "One shirt in particular, it's this yellow shirt that — I see it and I can't look at it for very long, and it says, on the front of the shirt, 'Momma I'm sorry that you had to die.' It's obviously from the child of a survivor, or rather, someone who didn't survive."
The shirts will be on display before and after the show.
While not everyone may agree with the subject matter of the show, those involved believe that they are doing something good for women in need in Douglas County.
"It makes me proud to be a women's studies major," Acton said. "It makes me proud to be a woman. It makes me proud to share with others, especially the folks who might not understand what it's all about."

illinois-shaped corn
flake to join exhibit

BLUE VALLEY
WILLIMSBURG, Va. — A corn flake shaped like the state of Illinois will join Jack Ruby's hat and Marilyn Monroe's datebook in a traveling exhibit.
Tavlor Miller/KANSAN
An Internet trivia site submitted a winning bid of $1,350 for the famous flake, found by two sisters and put up for auction. The owner collects Americana items to put in a planned traveling museum.

The flake will join a collection that includes Ruby's hat, worn the day he shot Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of President Kennedy; Ron Howard's letter jacket from "Happy Days"; and Monroe's datebook from the year she died.
"I've got a guy who does museum-quality mounting." Wolf said of the flake's future home.

Obama, Clinton discuss economic issues
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DEVLIN BARRETT ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Democrat Barack Obama said Thursday a firmer government hand was needed on Wall Street and a $30 billion stimulus was needed to rescue homeowners and the jobless.
Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, (D-N-Y), left, and Sen. Barack Obama, (D-III.), debated economic issues Thursday. Both argued that Republican presidential candidate John McCain wasn't ready to handle an economic emergency.
favors when we turn a blind eye to excessive leverage and dangerous risks," Obama said.
Rival Hillary Rodham Clinton called for a new job retraining program to remedy what both candidates derided as Republican indifference to a sputtering economy.
Both Obama and Clinton argued that Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain wasn't ready or willing to handle an economic emergency.
He said outdated government regulations have fallen dangerously behind the realities of modern finance.
"Our government is more focused on how you lost your job than how you can find a new one," Clinton said. "And while we have been rightly focused on trying to help people who are out of work, there's been too little thought and effort to help people gain new skills while they still have their existing jobs."
"The phone is ringing, and he would just let it ring and ring," Clinton said, echoing the "3 a.m. phone call" TV ad she used earlier to suggest she was more qualified than Obama to handle a national security crisis. Speaking in Raleigh,
N. C., she chastised McCain for opposing government intervention in the nation's credit and mortgage crisis.
Clinton focused on job insecurity and said the government needed to take more responsibility for helping displaced workers.

University to hold conference
M
Marla Keown/KANSAN
Sharon Beak, Shawnee senior, stuffs packets put together by the Midwest Asian-American Student Union (MAASU) Monday evening at the Multicultural Resource Center, located next to the Kansas Union. MAASU is hosting this year's three-day spring conference that opens with a variety show today at 7:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union.
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
The Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center will host its first major regional conference this weekend when around 400 delegates gather for the Midwest Asian-American Students Union Spring Conference.
Delegates from 24 schools throughout the Midwest will come to the University of Kansas from March 28 to 30 to attend workshops, a career fair and banquets in the recently completed 7,000 square foot facility.
The University earned the right to host MAASU's major annual conference last year when its application was chosen. It is the first time the organization held its spring conference as far west as Kansas. Grant Huang, St. Louis senior and AASU external vice president, said the organization wanted to demonstrate to visiting delegates that Kansas was more than agriculture and flat land.
"We want to show them KU and that it's a great school," Huang said. "We want to get out there that KU is doing a lot of multicultural things in the Midwest."
After a multicultural variety show on Friday night, delegates will attend four workshops on Saturday on topics ranging from stereotypes in the media, interracial dating and voting in the Asian community. The workshops will be presented by a variety of speakers, including actor Parry Shen and local business people.
AASU President Susan Noh, Overland Park senior, said the group chose workshop topics that would apply to both daily life as an Asian-American and societal issues related to being a minority group.
"It's better to have stronger communities, more communication and have a bigger voice out there," Noh said. "So we do a lot of workshops that deal with leadership."
Noh said when she joined the organization four years ago as a freshman, she never could have imagined it would have the chance to host a conference of this magnitude.
She said the group had steadily grown from around 15 her freshman year to between 30 and 40 active members today. Officials at the MRC encouraged her group to apply for the event, but she never thought they would receive the bid, Noh said.
"This is almost like a dream," Noh said. "When we won, we were like 'what just happened?' We were so shocked."
MRC program director Santos Núñez said the conference showcased the hard work and dedication shown by MAASU members and other campus groups. The MRC will also host the 2009 Big 12 Black Student Leadership Conference.
"I think that this is a great opportunity to showcase the commitment that KU has to its student organizations," Núñez said.
Huang said hosting the conference is a fitting end to his college
career. He said the experience of attending his first MAASU spring conference in Ann Arbor, Mich., along with Noh as a freshman was the catalyst for his dedication to the group over the last four years.
The group of 12 paid their own way and despite arriving late because of car trouble, the conference left a lasting impression and began a commitment to improving the University's chapter.
"We met so many people, and it was the first time I realized there were so many Asian people in the Midwest," Huang said. "We talked about different kinds of issues that I never thought of and some stuff that I knew but I learned more about. Seeing how other Asian-Americans do things can really empower you and change things."

CRIME
Faculty, students victims of casual theft
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com
When Carol Holstead, professor of journalism, opened her office door after class in March 2006, she immediately noticed that her laptop was no longer sitting on top of her desk.
Holstead's door was closed, but not locked. She also had her class schedule and office hours posted on the door. Holstead said the theft was depressing because she worked with college students and did not want to think of theft as part of their value system.
"What happened to you growing up that makes you think it's okay to walk into someone's office and take their computer?" Holstead said.
Only 14 people reported having items stolen from their backpacks, classrooms or offices to the Public Safety Office this semester. However, Capt. Schuyler Bailey, Public Safety Office, said theft of unattended property was probably the biggest crime committed on campus, but he said the number of thefts that occurred was low compared with the number of students and buildings at the University. He also said the Public Safety Office had no way of accounting for thefts that occurred on campus that were not reported to the office.
Holstead said because she has worked in Stauffer-Flint Hall for 18 years, she started to feel like it was home and took for granted the security of her property. She also said it was a hassle to lock her door sometimes, for example, when she is going to the restroom, which is right across the hall from her office.
Bailey said most thieves at the University were opportunists. He said anyone who simply happened somewhere that items were left
unattended could be motivated to become a thief because of the ease in which unattended items could be stolen.
Bailey said most thefts are small items: iPods, books, calculators and unattended backpacks. He said most of those things look normal for a student to be carrying and so bystanders are not aware a theft has occurred.
Osburn said he expected that people would eventually have to use their KU IDs to gain entrance into buildings like the ID based system the residence halls began using this year.
Robert Osburn, a custodian at Haworth Hall, said many items are stolen from Haworth. He said it's because too many people have keys to get in out of the building. Osburn said many of the students who work in the labs have keys and if they lose their set, anyone could find the keys and enter the building.
Haworth is also supposed to be locked by the Public Safety Office, but Osburn said he knew of other ways thieves could get into the buildings without keys.
Osburn said many items have been stolen from janitors in Haworth before that were not reported like mop buckets. Recently a vacuum was reported stolen from a janitor's closet in Haworth, but it was later found.
Mark Gottschall, supervisor of the Journalism Resource Center, said he thought most of the people who stole items were not KU students. He said he thought they were homeless people.
"The security is just really lacking." Osburn said.
Recently Gottschall reported the theft of a projector from a Stauffer-Flint classroom. Gottschall said he thought the projector was stolen, not misplaced, because he
Bailey said the Public Safety Office locked most of the campus' the buildings at night, but sometimes students and other people were still working in those buildings at that time. He said those people often propped the doors open so they could get in and out when they were coming and going.
e-mailed all the professors who taught at the school and whoever stole the projector left the plug-in cord, signifying that they were in a hurry.
Holstead's computer was also returned. Holstead said the student who stole her computer did not wipe the computer's hard drive before he sold it on eBay. She said a week after her computer was stolen she was contacted by the man who had bought it and the computer was returned to her within the next week.
Gottschall said the door was locked and closed when he got there, but he suspected that the door had been left open the night before by the last class that was in the room. He said that was the only way someone could have stolen the projector from the room, unless the thief had keys to the room.
Gottschall said on the weekends he locked Stauffer-Flint, but on the weekdays it was locked at 10 p.m. and unlocked at 7 a.m. by the Public Safety Office.
"You'd think they would have gone ahead and unplugged the dang thing." Gottschall said.
Holstead has taken her class schedule off her door since her computer was stolen, but she said she felt at home enough in Stauffer-Flint to leave her door unlocked when she is not in her office.
"It's unlocked right now and the door is open," Holstead said.

UNITED STUDENTS
Coalition seeks easier enrollment
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
Implementing a new enrollment system and requiring professors to give grades out at midterms are part of an academic platform for the United Students senate coalition.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and United Students presidential candidate, said the program the University of Kansas has now for enrollment was not student-friendly and was a bigger hassle than it needed to be.
He said that when students enrolled, they often needed a course catalog, a brochure of required classes for their major and scrap paper to figure out the classes they wanted and back-up classes.
"The amount of paper you
use to enroll is almost an environmental issue," McGonigle joked.
McGonigle wants to improve the system at Enroll & Pay with features like drag-and-drop class scheduling, prerequisites listed with classes and lists of classes required for majors and text-book prices. He said it wouldn't require a new program.
Michael Gillaspie, Ashland junior and vice presidential candidate for United Students, said he wanted to get rid of the paper shuffling during enrollment.
"We want to create a one-stop shop for enrollment," Gillaspie said.
McGonigle said he wanted to require professors to give out grades at midterms so students know where they stand in their class. He said many professors
Bill Crowe, president of University Senate, said that McGonigle would have to bring this proposal to University Senate, where it would go up for review.
already provided grades, but others didn't and students had to bother teachers to see their grades. He said there was no rule that required professors to hand out grades.
Crowe said he thought many professors would say that giving out grades was their decision on a case-by-case basis. He said that with thousands of courses and hundreds of instructors, they all had different ways of teaching their classes.
"Nothing isn't discussable," Crowe said.

Students lead advocacy
BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com
Climate change addressed in Arctic, on campus
A 1,400-mile dogsled expedition through the Arctic begins today to raise awareness of the importance of student activism in combating climate change.
Will Steger, an Arctic explorer and environmental advocate, will lead a team of five people ages 21 to 27 from Iqaluit, Canada, to Ellesmere Island, 480 miles from the North Pole.
The expedition, which will last through June, strives to raise awareness of endangered and collapsed ice shelves from polar melting in the arctic.
Steger held a conference call two weeks ago with university newspaper reporters across the country to emphasize the role of young people in the environmental movement.
"The primary objective for the upcoming expedition is to energize people," Steger said. "Especially people sitting on the bench."
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee senior, has a similar goal.
Red Corn, chair of the renewable energy subcommittee, said students had a responsibility to help fight global warming because they were more informed about the issues than most members of society.
"Students in college right now have the most knowledge and power to make a difference," he said. "This is the world we're getting handed and it's not as good as it could be."
Brian Sifton, Kansas City Mo., senior and president of KU Environs, said student involvement in environmental issues was also a matter of self-education.
"A lot of stuff talked about in Environs meetings isn't stuff talked about in the general public." Sifton said. "So it's important to get involved or you wouldn't hear those things otherwise."
One of KU Environ's current projects involves advocating that local dairies alert consumers to the presence of rBGH, a bovine growth hormone, with specially labeled milk bottles.
Other student-led environmental projects on campus include the Alternative Energy Society's biodiesel lab and Delta Force's advocacy that Chancellor Robert Hemenway sign the American College & University Presidents Climate Change Commitment, a pledge to reduce a campus' greenhouse gas emissions over time.
Sifton said projects such as these were significant because college students have different resources at their disposal while in school than they would have after graduation.
Steger, an environmental activist for 40 years, said the student-led environmentalist movement had broken from the social disengagement that often characterized people after the 1960s.
"There's an energy there of social interaction that I've never seen," he said. "It's not right or left, it's like the whole force of the middle."

CRIME Authorities on alert after Interstate gunfire
CHARLOTTESVILLE.Va.—
Gunfire that struck several vehicles and injured two people along a stretch of mountain highway had motorists and police on edge Thursday in a region where memories of the deadly Beltway snipers still haven't faded.
Authorities were seeking at least two people suspected of firing shots the night before that hit two cars, a van, a tractor-trailer and an unoccupied dump truck on Interstate 64 West of Charlottesville. Two people were injured.
There were other differences from the sniper spree of nearly six years ago, including the fact that those attacks targeted people who were standing outside their cars.
Col. Steven Flaherty, the state police superintendent called the shooting "random firing."
Nevertheless, Flaherty conceded the 2002 attacks, in which 10 people were killed and three wounded in Maryland, the District of Columbia and northern Virginia, were on investigators'minds as they sought those behind Thursday's spree.
"It reminded us of a lot of emergencies we've had," said Flaherty, whose agency also dealt with last April's Virginia
Tech shootings.
>
Police took a call from a driver whose vehicle was hit just after midnight. Three more occupied vehicles headed westbound were shot, one at an on-ramp at Ivy, the others at an overpass in the Afton area. An unoccupied Virginia Department of Transportation dump truck was targeted later, farther down the interstate.
The 20-mile stretch of I-64 between Waynesboro and Charlottesville, home of the University of Virginia, was closed for nearly six hours while police searched for suspects and evidence.

GOVERNMENT Funeral picketing bill sent to governor Sebelius
TOPEKA — A new funeral picketing bill to replace a law invalidated by the Kansas Supreme Court was sent Thursday to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
The Senate's 40-0 vote to agree with the House version passed a day earlier sent the bill to the governor rather than putting
After the March 11 ruling invalidating the previous law, legislators moved quickly to get the restrictions back on the books in the home state of the Rev. Fred Phelps, whose followers regularly protest services for soldiers, saying U.S. combat deaths are punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality. Those
it in a committee, as happens with most House bills the Senate receives.
"It is so disheartening that anyone would disrupt the funeral of a fallen service member, or of any Kansan. We must protect the privacy of Kansas families as they mourn the loss of their loved ones and I will sign this bill as soon as I have the opportunity," the governor said.
protests have been the impetus for laws restricting funeral picketing by 37 states and the federal government.
PHILADELPHIA — Former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal cannot be executed for murdering a Philadelphia police officer unless a new penalty hearing is held, a federal appeals court said Thursday.
Court upholds former Black Panther's execution
The court upheld Abu-Jamal's conviction but said he should get a new sentencing hearing because of flawed jury instructions. If
prosecutors don't give him a new death penalty hearing, Abu-Jamal would be sentenced automatically to life in prison.
Abu-Jamal's lead attorney, Robert R. Bryan, said he was glad the judges did not reinstate the death sentence but added that he wants the court to grant his client a new trial.
"I've never seen a case as permeated and riddled with racism as this one," Bryan said. "I want a new
trial and I want him free. His conviction was a travesty of justice."

Abu-Jamal, 53, once a radio reporter, has attracted a legion of artists and activists during his 25 years on death row. A Philadelphia jury convicted him in 1982 of killing Officer Daniel Faulkner, 25, after the patrolman pulled over Abu-Jamal's brother in an overnight traffic stop.

Tupac story used false documents
MUSIC
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Times apologized for using apparently fabricated documents in a story implying that a 1994 assault on Tupac Shakur was carried out by associates of Sean "Diddy" Combs, and that he knew about it ahead of time.
"The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used," Editor Russ Stanton said in a story posted Wednesday night on the newspaper's Web site. "We apologize both to our readers and to those referenced in the documents ... and in the story."
Pulitzer-prize winning reporter
Chuck Phillips, who wrote the story, and his supervisor, Deputy Managing Editor Marc Duvoisin, also apologized.
The apologies followed an investigation launched
by Stanton after The Smoking Gun Web site reported earlier in the day that the paper was conned by a prisoner who doctored the documents.
studio. He and other subjects of the story claimed they had been defamed by the newspaper.
T he Smoking Gun said the documents seemed phony because they appeared to be written on a typewriter instead of a computer and included blacked-out sections not

Philips said Wednesday that a former FBI agent examined the documents in question for him and said they appeared to be legit-

their authenticity.
"I would suggest to Mr. Philips and his editors that they immediately print an apology and take out their checkbooks — or brace themselves for an epic lawsuit," Lightman said Wednesday.
The story said associates hoping to curry favor with Combs who was overseeing B.I.G.'s white-hot career at the time lured Shakur to the studio because of his disrespect toward them.
Rosemond, one of two men the story linked to the Shakur attack, had earlier demanded an apology.
The shooting triggered a feud between East and West Coast rappers that led to the killings of Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
The story and related features on latimes.com attracted nearly 1 million hits — more viewers than any other story on latimes.com this year, the newspaper said.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
GUEST COLUMN
D.C. trip reaffirms student's patriotism
You can't tell from my skin, but I got a wicked tan over the break. I, along with 19 other students in the University Scholars program, traded sunscreen for business suits to soak up the rays of justice exuded by the Supreme Court. A part our curriculum included a trip to see the Court in session. Our instructor, law professor Steve McAllister, has clerked for and argued in front of the Court. He is, by all legal and societal standards, a badass.
Using his awesomeomeness, he secured us seats for the hottest case of the year - D.C. v. Heller. This case explored the scope of a handgun ban in the district and relates directly to the 2nd Amendment - the right to bear arms. The outcome, which won't come for months, could change personal weaponry law all over the nation, including on this campus. Onlookers and news teams littered the Court's stone pavilion like they were vying for tickets at Allen Fieldhouse when we arrived. People camped for days to get a seat. We just waltzed right past them into the backdoor entrance. For once, our real IDs actually got us into the best club in town.
If you can imagine ten elderly people all playing Whack-a-Mole, you've got the basic gist of Supreme Court operations. The Court seats no jury and hears no witness testimony. The lawyers just stand before the Court and try to pop out points before the justices begin slamming them with questions. These interrogations remain critical, contradictory, and surprisingly candid. When attorney argued that someone could quickly load a triggerlocked handgun during a home intrusion, John Roberts responded cheekily, "So, you turn on the lamp and put on your reading glasses, and then what?"
After the case, we met Justices
Clarence Thomas and Ruth Badar Ginsburg. His booming laugh and her demure wit couldn't contrast more, but they both share the rare modesty of someone who not only respects doing their job, but what their job does. Thomas, whom the media often polarizes, told us of his duty to extract his personal prejudices from his vote. Being a Justice, he sees himself as a civil servant to Americans. Witnessing real patriotism like this - not the hooky Old Navy T-shirt variety - but unbiased dedication to a government's purpose, knocked me right out of the fancy ceremonial chair in which I was sitting. As a voter chipped fresh off of the electorate block, I have been suckled on political cynicism: Lewinski. 9/11. Abu Ghrab. If these abuses of power hadn't punctured my political optimism, the Iraq War's recent 5th year anniversary certainly could. I hardly expect to find my faith in democracy restored by the cosmetically and politically conservative Court.
Yet, seeing the purpose of the founding documents - equal justice under the law - beating at the heart of a living, breathing person made me forget every American Idol episode and momentarily proud to be a U.S. citizen. Maybe the government is wire-tapping our phones. Maybe the Electoral College is a joke. But our Constitutional liberty seemingly muted these days by tyrannical executive power and muddled legislation still echoes through the marble halls of the Court. At least the Court is still for the people and run by the people, the most qualified ones, in fact. After all, Clarence Thomas did pick us to win his NCAA bracket. He clearly knows what's best for this country.

Ignorant word association can be dangerous, deceptive
JOSH ANDERSON
The word "illegal" has been drilled into the American psyche in relation to Mexican Immigrants so much that it now seems to exclusively mean an immigrant of Mexican origin. It is almost as though "Mexican" should be listed under "illegal" in the dictionary. This abuse of language fuels a broad racism that renders any resident of a Latin American background suspect by virtue of their obvious association with a burgeoning criminal class.
The mechanism by which this phenomena occurs, either inadvertently or on purpose (in terms of policy and it's reiteration by the ever-ready echo of the media), works in two manners: By essentially linking the concept of "the criminal" with that of "the Mexican", the qualifiers "illegal", "immigrant" and "Mexican" are obliterated, leaving any person bearing one or all of these traits susceptible to the judgement that
should be reserved for actual illegal immigrants. However, with the repetition and emphasis on the word "illegal" the image of a Mexican immigrant, legal or not, has somehow become synonymous with that of a rapist, murderer or terrorist. Because of this heavyhandedness in our general view of Mexican immigrants, as betrayed by our language, a stereotype of the worst kind is created, wherein a diverse ethnic and economic group is simplified and placed into the 'bad' category of people, if not downright evil.
The question should arise, then: what criminal act do these people engage in that so vilifies them? And what is so evil about it?
On a spectrum of criminal severity, the act of sneaking into a foreign country in search of work falls somewhere between speeding and not using a turn signal, the major difference being that the latter two are selfish acts, while the former is an act of virtue. When an immigrant risks his life in search of a better future for himself and his family, he is positively exuding the characteristics of a true American. This is precisely the grit and self-determination our country was built on, and yet this act is looked on with scorn. It's as if the statue of liberty should read: "Give us
your tired, your poor, your hungry-
unless they're Mexican"
It's bad enough that we lack the ability to deal with the immigration problem, that we also have to revert to inculcating our population with a sense of racism to smokescreen our ineptitude. Of course this serves us in the long run, as it has long been understood that the capitalist model, in order for one dog to stay on top, the lesser dogs must be kept on the bottom. Since the inception of Mexican "democracy" our political and economic policies have existed to make sure that Mexico and her citizens stay more than just geographically on the bottom, and we continue to let this reality remain unchallenged.
What is needed is a truly healthy relationship with our downstairs neighbors, one that fosters trust, cooperation and mutual respect. In order for this to happen, our attitudes are going to have to change from the ground up, because policy-makers will always be in the service of the economy. Nowhere but in their pocketbooks is it written that this sort of economic and racial inequality must exist.

Empty phrases invite conformity, exclude reason
NICK MANGIABACINA
NICK MANGIARACINA
After watching George Carlin's recent HBO comedy special "It's Bad For Ya," I fully understood why people try to shut me up.
One of Carlin's finest moments comes when he says, "Bullshit is the glue that holds society together." Likewise, truth is what tears it apart — because it forces people
to recreate the worlds they live in. People don't want to do this because it's too easy to flee to the comforts of tradition and to surrender to the sofa of conformity. Blind acceptance requires no thought.
In elementary school, I learned people didn't want to hear the truth unless it positively affected them. I learned this lesson after getting punched in the face several times.
Still though, I persisted on in attempting to be as truthful as possible. I couldn't shake the "Honesty is the best policy," maxim.
Years later I began developing an aversion to the sugar-coated land of euphiemisms. The sickness set in during high school as political
People love phrases like "God bless America" and "Proud to be an American." But they don't mean anything. Carlin compares "Proud to be an American" to phrases like "Proud to be Irish." He argues that pride should come from your accomplishments, not from something you were born with.
correctness, manners and groupthink dominated the landscape. As Carlin puts it, "It's bullshit, folks. It's all bullshit, and it's bad for va."
These phrases are vague feelgood abstractions that people crowd around because they can't think of anything better — or even anything at all.
The tragedy here is that a comedian is the one airing these issues. Life in this country has become so absurd that the people making fun of it are the most reasonable.
Americans don't question things anymore. Try questioning anyone or anything, and you will be branded radical, crazy or too critical. By comparison, I am too critical.
But I fail to do my job if I'm not critical though. I must make up for the hoards of people who are not critical about anything. It pisses people off, but my goal in life is not to have everyone like me. I am the "fly on the horse's back," as Socrates said. I keep people moving forward — regardless of whether they like it.
Socrates was assassinated. Truth comes at a high price — as is anything that is scarce.
Toward the end of his special, Carlin cuts to the core theme of his routine. Without questioning, there is no human progress.
As Carlin defines it, inventing new toys or gadgets don't count as progress. These things don't teach us how to live a better life. They don't make us freer. They don't make our lives better. We can only learn that from other people — if we're willing to set our beliefs aside and listen to the voice of reason.

Researchers receive grant to study unique primate
Philippines trip will be used to observe tarsiers, form conservation strategies
BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com
National Geographic awarded two University of Kansas researchers a $24,605 grant to study tarsiers, one of the more unique primates in Southeast Asia.
Jennifer Weghorst, adjunct research assistant with the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, and Rafe Brown, assistant professor in the department of biology and curator at the Natural History Museum, will travel to the southern Philippines this spring for the first of several trips to research tarsiers.
"They are the coolest primates in the world," Brown said. "They are little pocket-sized forest goblins."
Weghorst and Brown will analyze tarsier calls and collect DNA samples from populations on different Filipino islands to help pinpoint the number of different species that may exist.
With that information, Weghorst said scientists could begin forming conservation strategies for tarsiers.
The small, nocturnal animals weigh about 130 grams and reach a foot in length when stretched out.
They are the only exclusively carnivorous primates, eating caterpillars, beetles, frogs and small lizards. Tarsiers are also easily distinguishable by their big, round eyes, Weghorst said.

The researchers will also compare tarsier calls among populations from different islands.

Though tarsiers can survive in changing habitats, Brown said deforestation from commercial and small-scale logging could still be a threat to their survival.
He said he hoped the research and conservation strategies for tarsiers would lead to habitat protection in the Philippines through the establishment of national parks and reserves.
Weghorst and Brown's tarsier research will take two years to complete. In the mean time, the team of Filipino researchers will come to the University to help analyze the tarsier findings.

Weghorst said the research could be an important element of biodiversity conservation.
"Population dynamics would be out of whack if there were no tarsiers," she said. "And the world would be such a boring place."
This Philippine tarsier (Tarsius syricha) lives on the island of Bohol, Philippines. Its pupils are so small because the photo was taken during the day; a photo of a tarsier at night would show its large eyes almost completely filled by its pupils. Very large eyes are an adaptation for a nocturnal lifestyle.

'Hawks lose 58-54
Jason Chiou/The State News
Michigan State pulls victory despite last-minute goal by Kansas
NSA 5
Michigan State guard Brittney Thomas guards sophomore forward Danielle McCray while seeking to pass during the second half on Thursday at Breslin Center in East Lansing, Mich. The Spartans defeated the Jayhawks 58-54 and has been eliminated from the WNIT Tournament.
CASH KRUTH THE STATE NEWS
As the final buzzer sounded to signal the end of the Kansas women's basketball, team's season, it was a bittersweet moment for senior forward Taylor McIntosh.
On one hand, the 58-54 loss to host Michigan State in the third round of the WNIT ended her collegiate career. But, on the other, the extra postseason games gained her teammates experience for the remainder of their careers.
"I was disappointed because obviously it wasn't our best performance," said McIntosh, who grabbed 11 rebounds and scored four points in her final game as a Jayhawk. "But, at the same time, a lot of teams don't get to reach the postseason so I'm happy I got some postseason play, and especially for my teammates so they have some for next year."
The young Jayhawks gained plenty of experience in Thursday's game against the Spartans, and trailed Michigan State by two heading into halftime.
The game remained close in the early minutes of the second half, and got even closer when sophomore guard Danielle McCray drove to the lane for a lay-up to put the Jayhawks up 43-42 with 7:30 remaining. McCray nearly recorded a triple-double on the game, leading all scorers with 18 points, while also grabbing nine rebounds and getting eight steals.
"In the second half it was our turnovers," said head coach Bonnie Henrickson of what caused the Spartans to extend their lead. "It had nothing to do if it was a (man-to-man defense), nothing to do if it was zone, they just capitalized on our turnovers."
After two successful Kansas free throws, the Spartans again picked off a Jayhawk pass, and this time Keane nailed a three at the top of the key to expand the lead to five.
McCray's basket was the last lead of the game for the Jayhawks, who saw things unravel from there. With 4:24 left, Michigan State's Kalisha Keane picked off a pass and found guard Mandy Piechowski in the corner for a three-pointer to give the Spartans a 47-43 lead.
Kansas had 22 turnovers in the game, and tried to make up for their earlier mistakes as time was winding down. With just over two minutes remaining, McCray drove the lane and had her shot blocked out of bounds with one second left on the shot clock.
On the inbound pass, McCray got the ball and was fouled and made both to bring Kansas within three. Any momentum that was gained was quickly lost, however, as an offensive foul on sophomore
forward Porscha Weddington turned the ball back over to the Spartans.
The Spartans iced the game from the free throw line, and despite a last-second three-pointer by McCray, the Jayhawks' ended their season with a 17-16 record.
Freshman center Krysten Boogaard had ten points for the Jayhawks, while Michigan State was led by 16 points from Allyssa DeHaan, and ten points a piece from Brittney Thomas and Keane.
While Henrickson said, from a coaching standpoint, it was nice to get the extra practice time in, McIntosh said the felling of being left out of the NCAA Tournament should drive her teammates.
Henrickson and McIntosh both agreed the extra practice time and workouts will help the young Jayhawks, who have only two seniors on the team, in the coming
years.
"Physically, and maybe more so emotionally too," said McIntosh of the positives of playing in the WNIT. "just to know how it feels to not get where you want to get, and to use that as motivation for the offseason toward next year."

Self strives to make first trip to Final Four
Jon Goering/KANSAN
CHEVYNE
Kansas coach Bill Self acknowledges the Jayhawk fans after cutting the net down in celebration of the team's Big 12 Tournament championship March 16. In five years at Kansas, Self has a 138-32 record but has yet to advance past the Elite Eight.
Four trips to Elite Eight leave coach with higher hopes
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
In most ways, a coach would be crazy if he didn't want to be mentioned in the same breath as John Chaney and Gene Keady, Chaney, a former Temple coach, and Keady, who used to be in charge at Purdue, won more than 1,200 games combined.
Coach Bill Self can't wait until no one associates him with those two men. Chaney and Keady, for all their accomplishments, are regarded as the best coaches to never make a Final Four. Self hasn't made one yet either.
He's come close plenty of times. Self has been to the Elite Eight with Tulsa and Illinois and twice with Kansas. In three out of four of those trips, his team was the higher seed and failed to move on.
"I hate to say it," graduate assistant Michael Lee said about making the Final Four, "but it is a big deal for him."
If the Jayhawks win against Villanova tonight, Self will be in the Elite Eight for the fifth time. Kansas will be favored to win, and you can bet that fans will blame him if the Jayhawks lose. They'll say Roy is better. They'll call the season a waste. Some may call for his job.
He's won more than 80 percent of his games in four plus years as coach and directed the team to four Big 12 regular season titles and three Big 12 Tournament championships. But Self hasn't made the Final Four.
"Our fans may not agree with this," Self said, "but we're 33 and 3. We've won the league. We've won the league tournament. We're in the Sweet 16. We've had a good year."
"But in order to make it a special year," Self said, "we need to play well this weekend."
Self's been in search of that magical weekend for years.

Tulsa's Eric Coley was the typical Self player: He cared about toughness and defense. That season, his senior year, he became the Western Athletic Conference's all-time leader in steals.

Coincidence too much to ignore
BY BRYAN WHEELER
BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM
It was March 27,1988 when No.6 seed Kansas defeated No.4 seed Kansas State 7158 advancing to the Final Four.The game was held in the Pontiac Silverdome, located in the suburbs of Detroit,in front of 31,632 fans.A crowd of that size at the time was one of the highest attended NCAA regional games.
Year of coincidences?
Eight days later, Danny Manning and the Miracles would go on to defeat No. 1 seed Oklahoma 83-79, giving Kansas its first national championship since 1952.
Coincidentally, Kansas will play its first NCAA tournament game in the Motor City since 1988 tonight. Though this season's Jayhawks are 33-3 and the 1988 National Championship team was 23-11 going into the Sweet Sixteen, there are a number of coincidences between these two teams. Whether you are the superstitious type, the gambling type or just like useless trivia, there are too many coincidences to go
unnoticed.
Aside from playing in Michigan, the Jayhawks will also be playing in a dome tonight in front of a record crowd. With 55,000 of 72,818 tickets sold as of Sunday for the Midwest Regional games this weekend the previous record of 42,519 has already been broken.
Like the 1988 team, Kansas had to play in the state of Nebraska in the first weekend of the tournament. The Jayhawks defeated No.11 seed Xavier 85-72 in the first round and No.14 Murray State 61-58 in the second round in Lincoln 20 years ago. Prior to this year's tournament, the 1988 team was the only Jayhawk team to travel to both Nebraska and Michigan in the same regional.
As witnessed this past weekend, the Midwest Regional had five higher seeds upset by lower seeds. In 1988, a lower seeded team defeated a higher seeded team five times in the Midwest Regional including the upset of No. 2 seed Pittsburg, the Big East's highest seeded team. This past Sunday, the Big East's highest seeded team, No. 2 Georgetown, lost.
Another coincidence that some Jayhawk fans may have overlooked is Baylor's tournament appearance. In 1988 Baylor made the tournament as a No. 8 seed. Until this year Baylor has not made another tournament appearance.
In 1988, Larry Brown was in his fifth
Lastly, though the 2007-2008 layhawks do not have Danny Manning in their lineup averaging 24.8 points and 9 rebounds per game as he did in the 1987-1988 season, Manning is again with the team. In his first year as an assistant coach, Manning has helped with the improvement of Kansas' big men. Senior forward Darnell Jackson has become a star for Kansas, while sophomore Darrell Arthur has turned into Kansas' leading scorer.
year of coaching. Though the Jayhawks struggled throughout the regular season that season, this was solely Larry Brown's team. Brown did not have as balanced a team as Bill Self does this season, he had then senior Danny Manning and a recruiting class of his own working together to win a string of six games in the tournament. Similarly, Bill Self is in his fifth year of coaching and has his own recruiting class playing just the way he wants them to going into this weekend.
Every year, fans and media will question whether this year will be the big year. Based on similarities between 1988 and 2008, this would certainly seem to be the year. All things aside, these coincidences obviously have no impact on what happens on the court this weekend. With the Jayhawks in Michigan just as they were 20 years ago, Kansas fans are hoping for one more coincidence: a national championship.

POLYTECHNICAL SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER
The spotlight was on Danielle Herrmann as she represented the University on Kansas swimming and diving team at the NCAA championships during spring break.
Herrmann, a junior, was the Jayhawks sole representative at the NCAA
Swimming and Diving Championships in Columbus, Ohio. She earned the chance to compete in the championships after breaking a KU record and placing third in the Big 12 Championship earlier this month in the 200- yard individual medley
"Danielle had a great collegiate season," Coach Clark Campbell said. "She is well respected throughout the swimming community because of how much she has improved since high school."
Herrmann also competed in the 200- yard breaststroke and the 100 breaststroke.
"She came into her second NCAA meet with a lot more confidence and she raced a lot better than last year," Clark said. "We were especially happy with her 100-yard breast time."
Herrmann improved her KU record time in the 100 breaststroke, finishing 22nd in that event. She finished 34th in the 200
individual medley and 39th in the 200 breaststroke.
"It was a great way to finish my season," Herrmann said. "I started the season slow, but I ended up right where I wanted to be"
Freshman Erin Mertz led the Jayhawks with her seventh place finishes in the platform, one-meter and three-meter diving events.
After that Herrmann and junior Maria Mayriovich swam in the Ohio State Longcourse meet. Mayriovich scored personal bests in the 50- and 100-yard medley events. Hermann picked up a personal best in the 200 individual medley.
Several divers competed in the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships at the University of Houston campus before spring break.
"Erin finished her incredible season with a wonderful meet," junior Hannah McMacken said. "It has been so much fun watching her this season."
McMacken, sophomore Meghan Proehl and senior Jenny Roberts also competed in Houston. Proehl's best finish was 14th in the platform event while Roberts' was 14th on the three-meter board and McMacken placed 14th on the one-meter board.
ESPN2 will air 90 minutes of tape-delayed coverage of the swimming and diving championships, today, at 1 p.m.

Basketball notes
Kansas coach Bill Self has his team approach each weekend in the NCAA Tournament as a separate tournament. The first and second round are one tournamet, the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight are another tournament and the Final Four and National Championship game are one tournament.
Rodrick Stewart said this strategy helped the team focus.
One weekend at a time
"We're not worried about San Antonio," Stewart said. "We're looking at the next opponent. We win that game and it turns into a two game tournament. As soon as you start overlooking people that's when you look up and it's over."
KU fans likely remember the city of Detroit because of Kansas' first round loss to Bradley there two years ago.
This year, the game is in a
different venue. Ford Field instead of The Palace of Auburn Hills, and it's a different team - according to Self.
He said this year's team was more ready for the pressure of the NCAA Tournament.
"There hadn't been any attention on that group," Self said about the 2006 team. "They went from not being ranked the whole year to being a four seed. It think it's good to be ranked high and being a one seed because it puts pressure on you the whole time. That team never had that opportunity the whole year."
Parallels with 1988
Kansas is back in Detroit this weekend, the city where it defeated Kansas State to advance to the Final Four in 1988. Former Kansas guard Scooter Barry was the Chevrolet Player of the Game against K-State, and twenty years later, Barry still looks back fondly on the game.
"The parallels are kind of scary," Barry said this week from his home in Germany. Barry's lived in Europe for the past 17 years while playing professionally in Europe.
"They were in Omaha, we we're in Lincoln. We were both in Detroit." Barry said. "I was thinking now they just got to play the Finals in Kansas City and we'll have it for sure."
Barry was back in Lawrence in February for the 110 years of Kansas basketball reunion. He said he was impressed with this year's team.
"When I saw the team workout and I saw them play their game against Colorado, it was clear to see that they have a bunch of thoroughbreds," Barry said. "There's no question they have the ability to win it all. For me, the question is about timing.
"The Greatest thing about the NCAA tournament is 64 teams are thrown out there and if you have a bad night, you're done," Barry said.

They rode that momentum into the Head of the Chattahooche where their lightweight team won their respective competition and Elivisha Patterson brought home a second place medal in the lightweight single. In the final match of the fall, Kansas lost the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State. The Wildcats outscored them 16-9. However.
ROWING
The Kansas rowing team will head to Texas for its first official regatta of the spring season. On March 22, they traveled to Tulsa, Okla. for an exhibition. It continued the annual meetings between the two teams, with both teams last year gathering in a triangular meet to take on Drake. That meet was cancelled due to weather. The regatta this year was considered an exhibition and no official times were taken.
The rowing team hopes to continue the success it found in the fall with its young team. They competed in the Head of the Des Moines in late September, their opening regatta. Senior Kara Boston helped the team by winning two gold medals and dominated the Collegiate Single event, in which nine Jayhawk rowers were present in the top 10.

coach Rob Catloth saw the entire fall play, compromised of long distance races, as excellent practice for the NCAA-qualifying spring. The races in the spring are head-to-head sprints.
In the meantime, leaders of France and Belgium have warned they might boycott the opening ceremonies in Beijing to protest the way the Chinese are dealing with Tibetan protesters. But Bush hasn't got that hole card to play unless the crackdown intensifies dramatically and gives him a credible reason to change his plans.

The regatta on Saturday will be held on Lady Bird Lake, where they will compete varsity fours, varsity eights, and novice eights against the Longhorns. Texas has already competed in the Fight Nutria 2008, the Heart of Texas, and the Longhorn Invitational in the spring, giving them an experience advantage over the young Jayhawks. After the Texas regatta, Kansas will look forward to its meet with Kansas State on April 12. It will go down as their only home regatta of the year.
Bush considers the games to be about athletics and not necessarily politics, spokeswoman Dana Perino said. For the Chinese, anxious to avert a public relations disaster, the statement undoubtedly was received with relief.
Through a White House spokeswoman last week, Bush made plain he would attend the Olympic Games in August in Beijing, the crackdown on Tibetan protesters aside.
OLYMPICS Bush to attend Beijing Games in August
WASHINGTON — President Bush is using the prestige of his office on behalf of Tibetan protesters, but his direct appeal to Chinese President Hu Jintao lacks a trump card.
The Chinese already have suffered embarrassment over their treatment of Tibetan protesters in Tibet and western China. They look to hosting the Olympics as an enormous boost to their prestige
It didn't help that last week the State Department advised Americans planning to attend the games to take care and be mindful that they could be under surveillance.
"All hotel rooms and offices are considered to be subject to on-site or remote technical monitoring at all times," the department's Bureau of Consular Affairs said. "Hotel rooms, residences and offices may be accessed at any time without the occupant's consent or knowledge."

Kansas to host two Oklahoma
BY ALEX DUFEK
adufek@kansan.com
A couple of dual meets versus some Midwestern foes prevented the Kansas tennis team (5-8) from soaking up any sun during spring break.
The Jayhawks suffered road losses to Colorado and Missouri as well as a home loss in their nonconference finale against Iowa over the break. After three tough losses the team will be looking to get back to its winning ways this weekend as it faces off against a pair of Oklahoma schools.
Despite the difficult losses, coach Amy Hall-Holt said the team was playing at a very competitive level and was focused on this weekend's matches.
"The girls are practicing hard. Their level of competitiveness increases every time I see them out here. It was a disappointing loss against Missouri and it got to us, but I think the girls are bouncing back," Hall-Holt said. "I think the girls see that we're right there and we just got to keep pushing."
Kansas ended its nonconference schedule with a 4-3 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes on March 20. The Jayhawks finished non-conference play with a record of 4-6.
The Jayhawks record is impressive considering the daunting nonconference schedule laid out for them. Seven out the Jayhawks' 10 nonconference opponents are ranked in the only ITA collegiate rankings. The only team to beat Kansas this season and not be
named in the latest poll is the University of Missouri.
With the heart of Big 12 play approaching, the Jayhawks are not likely to see a letdown in quality of the competition. The team will play eight meets, four against ranked opponents, over the next 23 days in preparation for the Big 12 championships in College Station, Texas.
"We definitely have a lot of tough matches ahead of us," Hall-Holt said. "Oklahoma and Oklahoma State who we're playing this weekend are always tough."
Senior Elizaveta Avdeeva knows winning is important, especially down the stretch, in order to keep the team's morale high.
"When you win, you don't think if you're tired or not, but if you lose
it can get you down and then it can get tougher to play," Avdeeva said.
Kansas will continue its five-game home stand Friday when it takes on the Oklahoma Sooners and then again on Sunday when the Jayhawks face-off against the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. The decision to play indoors or outdoors will be determined based on weather the day of each contest.
Hall-Holt said she believed Lawrence acted as a comfort zone for the team and gave the Jayhawks an extra edge.
"It's your territory. It's your home court. It's where you practice," Hall-Holt. "You get a crowd behind you and it definitely helps."

Tar Heels cruise past Cougars
North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough, right, shoots over Washington State's Aron Baynes during an NCAA East Regional basketball semifinal on Thursday in Charlotte, N.C.
BY AARON BEARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Roy Williams never stopped pushing his North Carolina team to play better defense, not even as it piled up lopsided wins and crowd-pleasing offensive displays that few teams can match.
The Tar Heels gave their Hall of Fame coach what he's been asking for in the East Regional semifinal against Washington State — and it has them a game away from the Final Four again.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half and the top-seeded Tar Heels held Washington State to 32-percent shooting in a 68-47 victory Thursday night, sending North Carolina back to the NCAA tournament's round of eight for the second straight season.
Danny Green had 15 points to help the Tar Heels (35-2) set a school record for victories while continuing their dominant tournament run. The No. 1 overall seed won its first three NCAA games by 20 or more points for the first time in program history as it chases a record 17th trip to the Final Four.
North Carolina will play Louisville winner Saturday with a clear home-court advantage, playing in an arena located about two hours from its Chapel Hill campus.
On this night — facing a team that had completely shut down its first two tournament foes — everything started with a defensive performance that was the school's best in the tournament since before Williams was born.
"We continued to talk about this throughout the year, the fact that
we're tired of hearing that North Carolina can't play defense and that's going to be our weak link," junior Marcus Ginyard said. "But tonight, I think you see that this team has the capability of buckling down and being that great defensive team."
There was no room to argue with the Tar Heels' vocal leader. Fourth-seeded Washington State (26-9) managed just 18 field goals for the game while scoring 20 points below its average. The Cougars also went 2-for-16 from 3-point range as the Tar Heels pulled away.
The 47 points were the fewest allowed by the Tar Heels in an NCAA game since 1946.
"Defensively we thought we were really good," Williams said, "but yet let's be honest: they missed some open shots."
North Carolina improved to 24-1 in NCAA games played in its home state and is 7-0 all-time in Charlotte Bobcats Arena. Now they can focus on erasing the lingering memories from last year's final game: a blown double-digit lead late in the second half of an overtime loss to Georgetown in the regional finals.
"We know what happened. We know that feeling," Hansbrough said. "We don't want to have it again. That's kind of our attitude, and that's the mentality we have."
For the first time in this tournament, the Tar Heels, the nation's second-highest scoring team, didn't crack 100 points. It didn't matter. Nor did it matter that Hansbrough struggled much of the way. Instead, facing a deliberate Washington State team that had held Winthrop and Notre Dame to a combined 81 points in the tournament, the
Tar Heels looked determined to prove they could play some tough defense, too.
Washington State missed shot after shot — sometimes open, more often not — while the Tar Heels kept pushing forward with their slowed-
but-effective transition attack. The Cougars got little from the perimeter, with Kyle Weaver and Taylor Rochestie scoring a combined 12 points on 4-for-21 shooting.

No.13 Louisville defeats No.5 Tennessee 79-60

TENNESSEE 60
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Earl Clark scored 17 points and had 12 rebounds, and coach Rick Pitino's mix of defenses made life miserable for Tennessee and put the third-seeded Cardinals in the East Regional final.
After two blowout wins last weekend, Pitino's signature zone and pressure limited the high-scoring Volunteers to 34-percent shooting. The veteran coach improved to 8-0 in regional semifinals.
Terrence Williams and Andre McGee each added 13 points and David Padgett had 10 points and eight rebounds for Louisville (27-8), which nearly blew all of a 16-point first half lead, only to take control midway through the second half and keep alive its hopes for a second Final Four berth in four years.
Chris Lofton scored 15 points for Tennessee, but hit only 3 of 15 shots in his final game with the second-seeded Volunteers (31-5), who have never advanced beyond the round of 16.
B. J. Raymond made two 3-pointers in the last 1:18 of overtime Thursday night and the Musketeers advanced to the West Regional final with a 79-75 victory over coach Bob Huggins' Mountaineers.
Third-seeded Xavier (30-6) will seek its first Final Four appearance when it plays top-seeded UCLA in the regional final on Saturday.

Raymond, who had made only one field goal all night, hit a 3-2
pointer from the top of the key to put the Musketeers ahead 75-74 with 1:18 to play. He then shook loose on an inbounds play, took a crosscourt pass and made a 3 with the shot clock expiring with 30 seconds to go for a 78-74 lead.
Josh Duncan scored a career-high 26 points, despite foul trouble, to lead Xavier. Joe Alexander scored 18 and had 10 rebounds for the Mountaineers (26-11).
West Virginia missed four of six free throws in the overtime. Alexander missed one with 14.2 seconds left in regulation that would have given his team a 65-64 lead.

Love also had 14 rebounds. He hit 10-of-14 shots from the floor and helped rescue the Bruins for the second time in as many games. James Keefe had 18 points and 12 rebounds, both career highs for UCLA.
Tyrone Brazelton scored 31 points — 25 in the second half and Courtney Lee added 18 for 12th-seeded Western Kentucky (29-7).
UCLA 88.
UCLA led 41-20 at halftime, but the Hilltoppers began pressing and whittled the lead to 61-57 with 6:50 to play. But then Love scored from close range and Josh Shipp hit a 3-pointer to push UCLA's lead to 68-59.

There, it met Arizona, a team on a mission. Arizona won 87-81.
Self, whol taken over for Lon Kruger, molded an already rugged bunch into a group of warriors who wouldn't be out-toughed by anybody. Frank Williams, a gritty point guard, teamed with a frontline of Sergio McClain, Brian Cook and Marcus Griffin. Lucas Johnson, who was so aggressive that he often got accused of dirty play, came off the bench.
Sean Harrington was a sophomore guard that season who led the Big 10 in three-point field goal percentage. He remembers how Self taught the Illinois players that the season was broken down into four parts: the nonconference, conference, conference tournament and NCAA Tournament. Self wanted to win a "championship" in all of those areas. Illinois did well in nonconference play then won the Big 10. The Illini also secured a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and rolled to the Elite Eight.
SELF (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
shut down the guards of UNLV, Cincinnati and Miami. The Golden Hurricane, a seven seed, had to defeat eighth-seeded North Carolina to make the Final Four.
Fouls prevented it from happening. Coley sat 10 minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. He picked up his fourth foul seven minutes into the second half. Forte scored 28 points, his career high. Tulsa lost 59-55.
"If our guys hadn't gotten into foul trouble," Phillips said, "it probably would've gone the other way."
MARCH 28, 2004
MARCH 25,2001
One year later, Self got another attempt at the Final Four. This time, he was coaching Illinois.
"It was just two great teams," Harrington said, "and Arizona was just a little better."
Michael Lee, a junior guard at the time, doesn't remember much about the Georgia Tech Elite Eight game. He just remembers that Self prepared for it like any other game.
It didn't matter that it was the third time Self was there in five years, he didn't feel like he had anything to prove. Lee said Self just showed them a lot of tape, worked them through the shootaround and didn't give any special speeches or use motivational tactics. Self knew they were prepared enough.
His team had more than enough advantages: it was playing in St. Louis, had Final Four experience from the previous two seasons and Tech's leading scorer was injured. The Jayhawks had them all. Except one.
Kansas didn't count of Georgia Tech's Jarrett Jack. Jack, a sophomore guard for the three-seeded Yellow Jackets, shot the four-seeded Jayhawks out of the tournament. He scored 29 points, and Tech won in overtime 79-71. Kansas missed 16 of its first 18 shots, and star players Keith Langford and Wayne Simien made just eight of their 25 attempts.
"Some people call it luck," Lee said. "Some call it preparation. It depends on how you look at it. There's no special formula."
MARCH 24, 2007
After close losses, Self often laments that his team missed too many "bunnies," his word for close shots.
Against UCLA in the Elite Eight last season, the Jayhawks missed plenty. More than 10 shots from inside or layups didn't fall in for
"Coaches know there's an element of intangibles out there that some people catch breaks and some people don't," Self said. "All we want to do is prepare our guys to be the best they can be and hope that's good enough. A lot of factors go into playing well this time of year that are unknown to everyone else's eyes so I won't feel the pressure."
the Jayhawks.
While they missed, UCLA turned up its offense. The Bruins made 58 percent of it's shots in the second half, including 75 percent from long distance. It's defense proved better than Kansas', which had been regarded as one of the best in the country.
Good fortune should be on Self's side. If any team was built for a run to the Final Four and National Championship, this one is it. Kansas has a myriad of scoring options and five seniors and two juniors who have seen just about everything possible in their college careers.
"It hurts." Self told the Kansan after the game. "I really felt like this was our year."
MARCH 30,2008
They were the ones who helped build Self's team at Kansas, along with sophomores Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins. They want a Final Four and national title for themselves and for their coach.
Everything has to be just right. Self knows that already. He's seen Final Four dreams disappear because of foul trouble against North Carolina, an inspired team with Arizona, a hot performer with Georgia Tech and missed layups against UCLA.
Will this be the day? Will Self finally get fans off his back and take Kansas to the place he hasn't been able to reach in four tries?
"He loves us and we love him," senior guard Jeremy Case said. "We're going to do everything we can to get him that national championship just like he's going to do everything for us to get us that national championship."
This group won't be around forever. Seniors Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson are all gone after this season. Junior Brandish Rush is a lock to enter the NBA Draft, and Arthur will probably join him. Heck, Collins and Mario Chalmers might even leave.
He's watched the team and seen how they play defense as good as any Self team. They also have the necessary focus, and Phillips knows that Self always finds the perfect playing style to suit his team during the postseason even if it comes at the expense of some sub-par regular season games. More than anything, Phillips is just confident in Self's competitive nature.
"He's still a young man," Phillips said. "He'll get there. There's nobody I know that is more of a competitor than Bill Self. He wants to win at marbles, at ping-pong. Desire on his part is there. Once he breaks in, he'll be there a lot."
Kansas is two games away from a Final Four berth, and the Jayhawks will be favored in both. Everyone will expect them to beat Villanova tonight and Wisconsin or Davidson on Sunday.
It's now or never for most of the players, and it could be a while before Self gets another team as good as this one. That's why Phillips thinks this could be the year for his former boss.

Wilson leads by one stroke in first round of Zurich Classic
AVONDALE, La. — Refreshed after a couple of weeks off, Dean Wilson birdied three of the last four holes in windy conditions Thursday for a 6-under 66 and a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Zurich Classic.
"I've struggled a little bit," Wilson said. "I took a couple weeks off and just went home and tried to clear my brain and just play golf rather than maybe sit on the range and fiddle with my swing."
Twenty-five players in the field this week have qualified for the Masters, including defending Masters champion Zach Johnson (72) and defending British Open champion Padraig Harrington (71).
This is the third time the Zurich Classic has been played on the 7,341-yard TPC Louisiana course. Completed in time for the 2005 tournament, Hurricane Katrina hit the Pete Dye-designed course hard, flooding several holes and knocking down nearly 2,000 trees. It was closed for 10 months.

KU FIRST PITCH
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas played three midweek games – two against Chicago State and one with Benedictine. The Jayhawks went 3-0 against the Cougars and Ravens, outscoring them by a combined score of 25-6. However, after facing pitches that throw below the radar gun all week, Kansas will have to readjust to better pitching today.
BY THE NUMBERS
.609
.609 - The percent of the time baserunners successfully steal bases against Kansas, which is the fourth best percentage in the Big 12.
4 - The number of wins junior left-hander Sam Freeman has, which leads Kansas, despite a 5.04 ERA.
6 - The number of wins Kansas has at home against Texas A&M in 15 games.
10 – Senior right-hander Andres Esquibel's rank among Big 12 pitchers with a 2.32 ERA.
34 - The number of runs senior right fielder Ryne Price has driven in, which leads the team. He had 31 RBI all of last season.
UP TO BAY
John Allman
the senior left fielder is a juggernaut offensively lately. In his last four games, Allman is 9-for-13 with five runs, eight RBI and three extra base hits.

PITCHING
MLB
Well, the numbers aren't pretty. Kansas has a 4.36 team ERA and sophomore lefty Wally Marciel and junior lefties Nick Czzy and Sam Freeman haven't helped that figure. Marciel's 6.14 ERA, Czzy's 7.77 ERA and Freeman's 5.04 ERA are the three highest among Kansas pitchers with more than 10 innings pitched this season. However, Marciel (2-3) was one of Kansas' top starters before joining the weekend rotation and, against Texas two weekends ago, Czzy (1-3) and Freeman (4-0) allowed just four runs in 11 combined innings while striking out six. The left-handed trio will have to pitch well enough to go deep into games this weekend, limit walks and control Texas & M's running game, which is second best in the Big 12 with 40 stolen bases this season. When the starters give the ball to the bullpen, they leave the game in good hands. Senior right-hander Andres Esquibel leads the Jayhawk bulpen with a 2.32 ERA, which is 10th best in the Big 12. Junior right-handed closer Paul Smyth leads Kansas with six saves.
★★★☆☆
OFFENSE
Kansas is third in the Big 12 in runs with 195 and has shown no signs of slowing down. The Jayhawks are averaging nine runs a game over their last nine. Senior left fielder John Allman can do it all, leading the team with a .367 batting average and .479 on-base percentage to go along with a stellar .522 slugging percentage. Kansas also packs some power potential in the heart of its lineup with Allman, junior catcher Buck Afenir, senior right fielder Ryne Price and senior shortstop Erik Morrison occupying the 3-6 spots in the order. Combined they have 13 of Kansas' 20 home runs with Price's six leading the team. Moved to the seventh spot in the order this week, junior first baseman Preston Land is already hitting better, upping his average from .250 to .271. The Kansas offense will have to be running on all cylinders this weekend in the event the Jayhawk pitching staff can't keep the Aggies off the board.
DEFENSE
Kansas' defense ranks towards the middle of the pack in the Big 12, but the Jayhawks must keep errors to a minimum against the Aggies. Considering the efficiency with which Texas A&M steals bases, Kansas can't afford to allow extra runners on bases. The Kansas pitching staff will have a hard enough time containing the Texas A&M offense without giving the Aggies extra outs. More pressure will also be placed on Afenir, who has a .692 stolen bases against percentage. If the Aggies run too freely on Afenir, he may be replaced behind the plate by Price, who has the stronger arm of the two.
KANS
★★★★☆
Texas A&M (18-6,3-3)
The wild card of the series will be what Kansas can get from its starting pitching. Left-handers Wally Marciel, Nick Czyz and Sam Freeman have put on Jekyll and Hyde performances all year. Kansas doesn't need this trio to be perfect this weekend, it just needs Marciel, Czyz and Freeman to go at least six innings in each of their starts and leave the game with the score close. The bullpen and offense can take care of the rest.
QUESTION MARK
—Shawn Shroyer
Tony Thompson
OFFENSE
The Aggies enter Lawrence with two of the top freshman pitchers in the nation. Texas A&M will start freshman Brooks Raley tonight, who enters the series 3-0 and a 2.89 ERA. The Saturday starter will be the other half of the freshman phenom duo, Barret Loux. While getting off to a slow start, Loux comes to Lawrence with a 1-1 record and a 3.76 ERA. Out of the bullpen, sophomore Travis Starling is 2-0 in 11 appearances with 5 saves and brings an impressive 0.69 ERA to the table.
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Hideo Nomo, the legendary Japanese pitcher who is trying to make a comeback at 39, will make the trip with the Kansas City Royals to Milwaukee for a weekend series with the Brewers.
PITCHING

The Aggies have been a juggernaut from behind the plate this year, outscoring their opponents by 77 runs through the season so far. Texas & A M features the Big 12 leader in hitting this season, senior third baseman Dane Carter. Carter is hitting an astounding .457 and has a .772 slugging percentage. The Aggies have three other starters hitting above .300 in,.392 junior shortstop Jose Duran,.329 junior catcher Brian Ruggiano and.326 junior designated hitter Luke Anders.

DEFENSE
Lineup
Nomo is batting not only for the final spot in the Royals' bullpen, but a groin strain, which occurred when he was pitching Tuesday against San Diego.
While Texas A&M lights up the scoreboard on offense, their defense often hampers them in games they lose. While the left side of the infield produces power on offense, it is also often times a headache for head coach Rob Childress. Shortstop Jose Duran enters the series with 11 errors and third baseman Dane Carter has seven of his own. While the Aggies boot the ball around at times, they also get burnt on base paths. Catcher Brian Ruggiano 1-10 with runners stealing and back-upeshman Kevin Gonzales allowed ten runners to steal, while only throwing out three.

QUESTION MARK
Can the Aggies offense put up enough runs to overcome their defensive blunders? The Aggies committed a staggering 32 errors this season. Their powerful bats have made up for the bloopers, though Carter and Duran must continue with their current power streaks to prevent the errors from aiding the Jayhawks' cause.

"He still feels it today," Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "It's not severe. ... We'll see how the flight affects it. He'll get a little bit more rest on it instead of maybe irritating it."
A plan for Nomo to throw off a flat surface Thursday, the Royals' final day in Arizona, was scratched
Hillman said he doesn't know whether Nomo will pitch Saturday, the final exhibition game, if he throws on Friday.
"We're not going to just put a ball in his hands on flat ground and let him play catch and then throw
him into a game." Hillman said.
"But there is a chance, if he feels really good on flat ground, that we might let him get on the mound and see how it feels in the bullpen. If he feels nothing, then we could progress him to the game."
Nomo, who has not pitched in the majors since 2005 and only in winter ball last year after elbow surgery in 2006, is 1-0 with a 4.80 earned run average in seven games. He has struck out 17 and walked only three in 15 innings.
Royals center fielder David DeJesus has not played since
spraining his right ankle in his first at-bat Monday.
"I'm hesitant to play him tomorrow," Hillman said. "I might get him in later, but I doubt if I'll start him. I might put him in for a couple of innings of defense at the end and see how that goes and hopefully play him the second day in Milwaukee."

KU
TIPOFF
KANSAS VS. VILLANOVA 8:40 p.m., Pontiac Silverdome, Detroit, CBS
ATAGLANCE
Rush
Kansas (33-3,13-3)
Bill Self maintains that Kansas isn't lucky for getting to play the 12-seeded Wildcats instead of Clemson or Vanderbilt. He might be right. Villanova could prove to be a tough test because the Wildcats go through hot stretches where they are tough to beat. Kansas certainly won't overlook Villanova. The Jayhawks are focused. They're still smarting from last season's Elite Eight loss and want to make the Final Four. This team is experienced and ready to do something special.

Rush to come out firing. He did against Portland State last week, attempting several early shots. This the most motivated Rush has been during his KU career. He wants to make the Final Four, and he wants to move himself into the first round of the NBA Draft.
WHO TO WATCH
QUESTION MARK
Rush
Will this be another Kansas choke Job?
KU fans have been tormented for years with losses before the Final Four to teams that seemed overmatched. There was Arizona, UTEP and Virginia to name a few. Villanova fits the mold. The Wildcats, a 12 seed, can get hot and put up a fight against any team in the country. They're also a team that the Jayhawks could overlook because they are a Cinderella team this year. Don't expect it to happen though. Kansas is too experienced to look past an opponent at this point. If the Wildcats win, it will be because they play a better game.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"It's a different feel. I think guys just have a lot of confidence.Last year gave us a nice taste of what we want to do.Guys are still hungry and ready to eat a big plate this time around. It was a tough loss,but it wasn't bitter.It gave us a good taste of what could potentially happen.Now we're ready to go out and see exactly what can happen. It's gonna take us playing hard every game."

Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Russell Robinson on the experience from last year's loss to UCLA
Kansas got a major lift from Robinson against UNLV when he scored 13 points. He doesn't need to do that tonight. Robinson should expend all his energy on defense, where he has to find a way to stop Scottie Reynolds.
PETER BROWN
★★★★
Villanova (22-12,9-9)
Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
Chalmers is in a zone. Even when he fell to the ground after a hard foul in last Saturday's game, he made the basket. His outside shooting touch deserted him earlier that game, and he still found a way to score 17

★★★★
Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard
THE PROJECTED STARTING 5
ALEXANDRA DAVIDSON
Rush is being slightly more aggressive than usual, but his scoring numbers are really just going up because he's making shots. Against a guard-oriented lineup, Rush should be able to get shots near the basket, if he decides to leave the perimeter.
★★★☆
A freshman averaging 6.4 points per game, Stokes attended the same high school, St. Benedict's, as former Kansas forward Alex Galindo. He scored 20 points in the Wildcats second-round victory against Siena.

Scottie Reynolds, 6-foot-2 sophomore guard, Reynolds actually originally signed with Oklahoma, but Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson left the school, and Reynolds was released from his letter of intent.

Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward
KANSAS

★★★★★
Give credit to Jackson for getting nine rebounds, but that's about all he did against UNLV's small lineup. KU's post players all got into foul trouble in a game where they could have dominated.
Arthur falls into the same category as Jackson. He wasn't bad against the Rebels, but he should have played better against a small lineup. Arthur will get the same opportunity tonight against the small Wildcats.

If Collins' bruised knee is OK, the Jayhawks are OK. No one can mix it up for Kansas like Collins. He played well in the second half last Saturday and has been practicing all week. He should be healthy.

Dwayne Anderson, 6-foot-6 junior forward.
A 50 percent shooter from the field, Anderson is an efficient offensive player who is relied on more for defense and rebounding.

Corey Fisher, 6-foot-1 freshman guard. Another freshman, Fisher once scored 37 points in a victory against O.J. Mayo's high school team.
★★★★
DENNIS J. HUNT
The Jayhawks start the game on fire. They did against Portland State in the opening round but let UNLV dictate the tempo in their second round matchup. Kansas is the superior team and needs to prove it from the beginning. The Jayhawks can do that if Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson establish themselves against Villanova's front court. If not, the Wildcats will hang around.
Russell Robinson
Rustin Dodd
Mark Dent
Phog Allen Will Roll Over In Over In His Grave If...
Scottie Reynolds drops 40. He's done it before. Last year against Connecticut, Reynolds put together the best scoring performance of any freshman in the country. He can shoot from the outside and drive. Kansas might have the advantage though. Robinson and Chalmers have defended D.J. Augustin twice this season, a player who is comparable to Reynolds. The Jayhawks are also used to guarding against Kansas State, another team that relies heavily on one player.
NOVA TIPOFF
ATAGLANCE
Most didn't expect Kansas to face Villanova in Detroit. Well, here they are. The 12th seeded Wildcats are 22-12, and finished tied for eighth in the Big East. But Villanova coach Jay Wright and his Wildcats are used to being here. Nova has made the NCAA Sweet Sixteen three out of the last four years. The Wildcats have had a nice run, but it'll be interesting to see if they have the juice to stay with the Hawks.
WHO TO WATCH
Remember Villanova's game against Connecticut in February 2007? Here's a refresher. Reynolds scored a career-high 40 points - as a freshman. College basketball fans know all about Reynolds.
Villanova's leading scorer at 16 points per game. Casual fans, get to know him. Kansas' guards Mario Chalmers and Sherron
Reynolds
Reynolds
Collins know all about Reynolds also. Chalmers and Collins tried out for the U.S. PanAm Games team with Reynolds last summer. Reynolds made the team, Chalmers and Collins were both cut. Who was the head coach of that team? Villanova's Jay Wright. Chalmers and Collins maintain they have no hard feelings towards Reynolds or Wright. But come on - You think they won't be a little extra motivated?
QUESTION MARK
Just how good is Villanova?
We know they beat Clemson in the first and then polished off Siena in the second, but it's tough to know what to make of a team that finished tied for eighth in the Big East and barely made the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats suffered through a five-game losing streak in January and February, capped with an ugly 22-point loss at Saint Joseph's. After the Clemson victory, Villanova's best victory could be its 78-56 home victory against West Virginia. But looking to the past right now might be foolish. Know this – any team with Scottie Reynolds is a dangerous team, and Wright has proven himself to be a rising star in the coaching profession. How good is Nova? That's why they play the games, right?
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"I've said this before. I think the thing that stands out first and foremost is how hard they play and how hard they compete. They take great pride in getting 78 or $80%$ of the 50/50 balls. They steal extra possessions for their team. I think they're not good defensively, I think they're great defensively and they're getting better."

Senators question president's vetoes
ROAD TO THE FINAL FOUR
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
Student body president Hannah Love vetoed three pieces of legislation last week.
The vetoes are causing controversy with some senators because they say she is no longer representing the interests of students.
M. KRISTINA HUBER
Love
Student Senate passed the legislation at the
March 12 meeting, while Love was in Washington, D.C. on a Student Legislation Awareness Board trip.
The three pieces of legislation that Love vetoed are: a resolution asking KU Information Technology to consider bringing Gmail to KU e-mail, a bill that would create a sustainability student fee and a bill that would give the Student Senate Executive Committee veto power over the Multicultural Education Fund Board.

Jayhawk fans throng Massachusetts Street after the Kansas victory against Davidson 59-57 Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Fans poured out of bars and restaurants and clogged the street for blocks, completely halting the flow of traffic. Kansas will play North Carolina on Saturday in San Antonio in the Final Four. This will be the first Final Four in NCAA history to have only first-seeded teams.
Downtown erupts in celebration; Kansas enters Final Four and prepares to face North Carolina
BY LUKE MORRIS
Imorris@kansan.com
Fans celebrating Kansas' Elite Eight victory against Davidson turned Massachusetts Street into an impromptu parade site Sunday night.
"As soon as the game was over, I immediately started celebrating and came down here," said Larry Sieve, Overland Park sophomore.
Kansas basketball fans began to celebrate on Lawrence's famous street immediately after the final buzzer sounded and the Jayhawks punched their ticket to the Final Four.
Cars traveling down Massachusetts Street traveled at a slow pace, blaring horns as drivers and passengers shared high-fives with fans
celebrating on the median of the street. Truck beds were filled with more fans screaming at the top of their lungs. A few lay across the roof of a car as it traveled down the street.
Dani Davey, a law student from Overland Park, said the celebration matched the Jayhawks' Final Four celebration in 2003 in craziness.
"Considering it's still going on two hours after the game, it's pretty crazy," Davie said.
Most of the crowd gathered at the corner of Eighth and Massachusetts streets.
"Go Jayhawks! All the way to the title!" yelled one fan as he sprinted past the corner.
Lawrence residents joined students in the celebration. Even some elderly residents took a walk down the street sharing high-fives with everyone in their
paths.
"Mostly it's a wild, good atmosphere," said Taylor Porter, a Lawrence resident. "I told all my friends to come to town because when we make it to the Final Four, its gosh darn Mardi Gras down here."
Lawrence Police officers monitored the crowd. Officers didn't bother trying to keep people from blocking traffic. Instead, they focused more on monitoring alcohol use in the area. Officers forced some fans to pour out their open containers of beer.
"We deployed units to Mass. Street specifically for this," Lawrence Police Captain Ray Urbanek said. "We're just keeping people from hurting themselves."
Urbanek said that he was not aware of
GAME COVERAGE ON PAGES 1B.4B AND 5B any arrests made on
Massachusetts Street during the night.
Although the scene may have looked like a riot, Adam Knoerschilz, Lyndon senior, said that trouble seemed minimal.
"I've seen some people who are obviously underage and drinking, but I don't necessarily call that trouble," Sieve said.
Knoerschilz said he hoped the city would have an opportunity to have an even larger celebration next week after the NCAA Championship game.
"it's been all positive and a hell of a good time," Knoerschilz said. "I could only imagine this in my dreams."

South BEST in the nation
Accounting students from the University of Kansas bumped the School of Business up to the number four school in the nation with the highest Certified Public Accountant exam passing rate for first-time candidates without advanced degrees.
CAMPUS School of Business rises to fourth best in the nation
Paul Mason, professor of accounting, said the success of KU accounting students would help attract new students and job recruiters to the School of Business.
"This ranking reflects well on the quality of the accounting program and the KU School of Business," Mason said in a press release."There is no question that we have some of the best students in the country, and this ranking helps highlight that fact."
According to a School of Business press release, 72 percent of the KU students who took the Uniform CPA exam passed on their first attempt. Nearly 22,000 candidates across the country took the exam.
The CPA exam is a test that people must pass in order to qualify as a certified public accountant in any of the 55 U.S. jurisdictions, according to the CPA exam Web site.

INTERNATIONAL Zimbabwe citizens wait for election results
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe's main opposition party claimed an early lead Sunday in elections, seeking to thwart any possible vote rigging by President Robert Mugabe amid an ominous silence from the Electoral Commission and the deployment of security forces.
"Why are we not getting the results? It's very clear to me Mugabe wants to steal this election," said Hapisson Mate, a 23-year-old first-time voter.
Earlier people celebrated in the streets, dancing, singing and giving each other the openhanded wave that is the opposition party's symbol.
But by sundown, as frustrations grew more than 24 hours after polls closed, riot police and other security forces were patrolling the capital's densely populated suburbs, according to independent election monitors.
Discontent with Mugabe has grown nationwide and the election was seen as the toughest challenge to his 28-year rule. Unemployment stands at 80 percent — the same percentage that survives on less than $1 a day.
In previous elections, partial results have been announced within hours of voting ending.

Meet your Student Senator with Ethan Zipf-Sigler, graduate senator
BY ALEXANDRA GARRY
agarry@kansan.com
As far as Student Senators go, Ethan Zipf-Sigler isn't involved. He's not in any clubs and not affiliated with any coalition or special interest. And he said that was his greatest asset.
"Grad students bring understanding and objectivity" to Senate, Zipf-Sigler said.
Eric Foss, a fellow law senator and Zipf-Sigler's roommate, encouraged Zipf-Sigler to get involved with Senate because of his objectivity.
"He has a firm commitment to getting things right, not getting involved in political interests," Foss said. "He's one of the most intelligent and least partisan people I've ever met."
Zipf-Sigler, a second-year law student, serves on the finance committee. He said that in finance, it was especially important to include the "balanced approach" of the ten graduate students in Senate.
"A lot of discipline is needed; often, in the past, the committee has let almost anyone get away with spending funds," he said.
He also emphasized the importance of the finance committee itself.
"That's where Senate makes a big impact on every student's life."
— the way in which it spends their money, he said.
Lennea Carty, also a finance committee senator, described Zipf-Sigler as a natural leader with a "devotion to ethical debate and uncovering the truth." Carty cited Zipf-Sigler's vocal opposition to the highly contested Women's and Non-Revenue Sports Fee as an example of his willingness to take on controversial issues.
Zipf-Sigler, who Carty said had aimed to promote "fiscal responsibility" without detriment to students, said he was happy with the way this term of Senate had gone.
"We've spent almost all of our budget, but not all," he said. "I think that's a sign of a good committee — it does what it's supposed to do, spends the money it's supposed to spend, but doesn't go overboard."
"It's something for me to do"
Zipf-Sigler said. "But really, it is fun. It's strange to say going to three meetings a week would be fun, but it is. You feel as if you've gotten something done — even if it's just spending other people's money."
Despite his enjoyment, Zipf-
Zipf-Sigler said he was happy to be involved with Senate partially because he found himself with more time on his hands than when he was an undergraduate.
Sigler, who debated and wrote for The Hilltop Monitor, the student newspaper of William Jewell College, in Liberty, Mo., will not be involved with Senate next year. He said he made the decision to end his Senate career so that he could continue to be a part of the elections commission, which requires objectivity from its members.
As law representative and adjudicator for the elections commission, Zipf-Sigler uses his law knowledge to oversee and moderate complaints hearings, which he said, like many Senate debates, can get pretty heated.
The main focus of the elections commission is outreach, Zipf-Sigler said. This means increasing voter turn out by staging a debate and opening poll sites across campus on election day, as well as making the importance of voting better known.
"We're just trying to get students aware," he said. "The more you remind people, the more it's likely they'll turn up."
"This year, it's been pretty tame
"There three really good sets of ideas," he said. "It's important students choose for themselves which they want in control. We each pay over $700 in fees every year. That's a lot of money, which will be controlled by one of those candidates."

students to vote.
He also said that voting is important because "each person is unique" in the way that he or she makes decisions that impact all students.
"It's amazing," he said. "Smart, well-informed people come to all kinds of different opinions on the same thing and sometimes they just can't agree."

Film festival takes on campus
Biology professor to present "An Inconvenient Truth" slideshow
BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com
A free environmental film festival on campus this week will usher in Earth Month.
The festival will feature three documentaries and a presentation of Al Gore's slideshow from "An Inconvenient Truth."

MARGARET TRAN Derby sophomore and vice president of E.A.R.T.H.
The movies and slideshow will be spread throughout four nights beginning on Monday and ending with a panel discussion and free Local Burger catering for attendees on Thursday.
Margaret Tran, Derby sophomore and vice president of E.A.R.T.H., said the festival took shape when Tree Media Group, a California-based media company, asked if student groups from the University wanted to show its film, "The 11th Hour," as part of Tree Media's promotion of the movie at college campuses across the country.
Tree Media also offered to provide food from Local Burger including mini burgers, hummus, cheese and crackers and other organic foods.

"We thought it was great because we would want to put on an event like this anyway," Tran said. "So the idea that they want to provide us with funding is great."

Other films to be shown this week are "The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" and "What A Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire."

Tuesday's slideshow presentation from "An Inconvenient Truth" will be given by David Gordon, associate professor of biology at Pittsburgh State University.

The Gmail resolution required two-thirds of Senate to pass. It passed in full Senate 34-8, which is six more votes than necessary. The resolution had no negative speeches when it went through committees or full Senate.
GMAIL TECHNOLOGY
VETO (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The Gmail resolution stemmed from an initiative by Senate coalition ConnectKU. Love said she vetoed it because it brought party politics into Student Senate.
"My responsibility as student body president is to keep Senate non-partisan."Love said.
Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park senior and journalism senator, was involved in creating the ConnectKU initiative to bring Gmail technology to the University.
He said that in his two years of experience in Senate, when Senate put its name on a resolution asking a University organization to do something, the chances of it happening increased.
Morgenstern said that because Love was vetoing a resolution that so many senators voted in favor of, Love was no longer representing the best interests of students.
Morgenstern said he planned to override Love's veto. He also said the veto signified her opposition to Gmail for students. A veto takes two-thirds of Senate to override.
"She thinks that she's smarter than the other 34 people who voted for it," Morgenstern said.
SUSTAINABILITY FEE
Love also vetoed a change to the distribution of student fees.
In 2007, the student body voted for a referendum to pay $1.50 per semester to a sustainability fund for the campus. The vote did not increase fees but moved the $1.50 from already existing fees.
The bill that passed through Senate on March 12 by a 29-12 vote took $.25 from the Women's and Non-Revenue Sports' fee, which costs students $40 per semester, and put it toward the sustainability fund.
Love said she vetoed it because there were other student fees that could handle cuts and the money shouldn't come from the athletics fee.
MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION FUND
The Multicultural Education Fund bill, which passed on March 12 by a 40-12 vote, proposed that StudEx have oversight over the board. Currently, there is no oversight on how the Multicultural Education Fund Board spends money. Students pay $1.50 per semester to the Multicultural Education Fund, which amounts to about $75,000. The fund, which is in its first year of existence, has caused controversy in Senate meetings about which groups qualify as multicultural. The fund is not governed by regular Senate regulations.
Love said no other board that distributes fee money has an oversight process and ordering one on the Multicultural Education Fund Board would be discriminatory. In her veto statement, which she sent out over the Student Senate list server, she said she was disappointed in the treatment of the bill.
"I am receiving the impression from this body that these guidelines, passed by the student body, are wrong." Love wrote. "This is not a students of color fund. This fee is no different than many of the other fees. A board is appointed that Student Senate entrusts with the funds. The system is not broken, and it does not need adjustment. This fee has been through the same processes, appeals, and scrutiny as all the other student senate fees."
Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and United Students presidential candidate, said he thought it was unfortunate that three pieces of legislation were vetoed at once.
"If elected, I would work with people I agree with and people I don't, so we never get to that stage," McGonigle said.
McGonigle is also the current StudEx chair.
Austin Kelly, Lawrence junior and ConnectKU presidential candidate, said all three vetoes were a little different. He said that if Love felt strongly about the MEF and sustainability vetoes, then it was her right to veto them.
Kelly said he thought the Gmail veto was inappropriate. He said every issue was partisan because every student body president ran a campaign and tried to get platform issues accomplished once elected. He said who got credit for an idea was not what Senate was about.
"I want a student body president to embrace what is good for students regardless of who thought of it," Kelly said.
Senate rules give the student body president the power to veto legislation, but that power is not used often.
In the five years before Love was in office, only one student body president used veto power. Steve Munch, student body president from 2004 to 2005, vetoed two bills. Nothing since then had been vetoes until Love entered office and vetoes a bill regarding the use of electronic voting devices, or "clickers," during summer 2007.
Full Senate meets Wednesday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. If it is going to, Senate would probably have to overturn Love's vetoes at this meeting because Senate typically does not discuss legislation after Senate elections. Elections this year are April 9 and 10.

A 2003 road trip results in formation of Mountain Dewds
'Alternative way of doing college' for students expands to include two houses and 21 members

The Mountain Dewds live at 1115 Tennessee. They started the house five years ago as "promoters of awesomeness and all things that are awesome."
Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN
HISTORY OF THE DEWDS
Kieran McBride, Lawrence senior, knew it was destiny when he found an 11th Street signpost in his backyard. He was considering moving into the Mountain Dewd house and knew after he found the sign that he was meant to live there. Four years later, he has one more year at the University and can't imagine living anywhere else.
In 2003, 10 friends came back from a road trip and decided they wanted to live together. They found a house at 1115 Tennessee St. and named themselves the "Mountain Dewds." The founders were Christian men who wanted to set an example for their community.
McBride said the house just started as a bunch of guys who wanted to live together, but has since morphed into an "alternative way of doing college."
The house now has 14 members in what they call the "Big Green House"
The Dews recently added a second house. Seven other Dewds live in the yellow house, next door at 1121 Tennessee St.
The two houses are known collectively as "Dewdville."
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A DEWD
Jordan Guth, Plano, Texas junior and a Dewd, said that a lot of Christians tend to "go over the top," and the Dewds wanted to be different.
"We want to show people that we're like everybody else, that we're cool, that we're normal, that we do fun things, and that you can have fun without going overboard," Guth said.
The title and purpose of the house, Guth said, had several meanings. But it doesn't have anything to do with the drink Mountain Dew.
"We want to be a house up on a hill," Guth said. "We want to be held to a higher standard."
The house actually received a cease-and-desist letter from Pepsico a few years ago after a Pepsico rep saw a photo in the The University
Daily Kansan, in which the Dewds were wearing modified Mountain Dew shirts. The Dewds wrote back
events throughout the year, including a Halloween party that boasted around 450 people two years ago.
@ KANSAN.COM Extended Dewd photo gallery
"We always just blow that up," Guth said.
explaining that they were not giving Mountain Dew a bad name. The Dewds were allowed to keep the name but can't use any Pepsico logos.
The Dewd's signature event is Keith Day, the third Friday in April.
Keith Wilson was one of the founders, but was hardly ever in the house because of school work. The rest of the Dewds decided to throw
PARTYING AS A DEWD
The Dewd house hosts several
him a party to show him they still cared about him.
Guth said the party was originally supposed to be
large, but not huge. It's now the biggest celebration the Dewds have in the spring.
At last year's Keith Day, the Dewds had everything from bobbing for Keith (pictures of Wilson on apples), cups, balloons, T-shirts and even a Keith kissing booth.
McBride loves living at the Dewa house and participating in all the activities.
"We really don't know why people want to come here, we just do stupid, ridiculous stuff". McBride said.
He thinks that certain lifestyles can be more destructive than others, but the Dewd house is all about being unique, different and constructive. McBride also said that the Dewds didn't look down on anyone else if they did things differently. He just wants to make the alternative that much better.

"If we're gonna do it different, we're gonna do it awesome," McBride said. "We're gonna jump our bikes into a lake while the ramp's on fire."
Nathan Hickey, Lawrence sophomore, watches another Mountain Dewd resident play video games. The chairs and sofas behind him are the Dewd's "stadium seating," constructed by the residents themselves.
The Mountain Dews were driving past a McDonald's when the employees were putting in new signs and asked if they could have the old one. The Dewds have many random items contributed by residents throughout their house.
BE A CHAMPION.
The Dewd house is full of random objects, like the 11th Street sign that McBride found, a long sled, a Kansas City Star vending machine and even an old McDonald's drive-thru sign.
"AWESOMENESS" AS A DEWD
McBride is proud of the things that happen in the Dewd house. He said that people have had life-changing things happen because of the house. Lifelong friends have been made, and spouses have been met.
way in the Dewd house. A Quik-Trip sign in the yellow house was obtained the same way.
"It affects people's lives in a real positive way," McBride said.
The "relics," as McBride calls them, are brought to the house and left there after people move out. They obtained the McDonald's sign when a few Dewds were driving past McDonald's while the employees were replacing the signs. The Dewds asked if they could have the old one, and it now adorns a hall-
Men join the Mountain Dewds mainly by being recruited via word-of-mouth.
The Mountain Dewd house crest, designed by former Dewd Chris Jones, sums up what the Dewds are about. The crest reads "Semper Awesomis."

The government welcomed the move, which followed intense negotiations by Shiite officials, including two lawmakers who reportedly traveled to Iran to ask religious authorities there to intervene.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whose offensive that began Tuesday in the oil-rich southern city in Basra sparked the crisis, called al-Sadr's statement "a step in the right direction."
But fighting continued in the Basra area after the announcement. Seven people also were killed when a mortar struck a residential district in Baghdad's Karradah district, and witnesses reported clashes in the Shula area in a northern section of the capital.
North Korea threatens to attack South Korea
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea threatened South Korea with destruction Sunday after Seoul's top military officer said his country would consider attacking the communist nation if it tried to carry out a nuclear attack.
The statement from North Korea's official news agency marked the third straight day of bellicose rhetoric from the North, which is angry over the harsher line the South's conservative new president has taken against the country since assuming office last month.
"Our military will not sit idle; until warmongers launch a pre-emptive strike," said an unidentified KCNA military commentator. "Everything will be in ashes, not just a sea of fire, if our advanced pre-emptive strike once begins."

Revision to GI Bill enhances veterans'schooling benefits
BY HEATHER MELANSON editor@kansan.com
After Bruce Archambault served a year in Iraq in the Army, he returned home to Leavenworth and picked up a few odds and ends jobs.
He delivered pizza, changed oil and picked up trash for the city. Right before the fall 2005 semester began, Archambault saw a sign for school and decided he wanted a change.
"God, you know, I said, 'That'd be really nice,'" Archambault said. "I'm tired of getting other people's trash and maggots and human feces on me, basically, from when we go pick up the dumpsters at the water treatment plant. I don't want to do that for the rest of my life. I think it's time for me to go to school."
At the end of February, Senators Jim Webb, D-Va., John Warner, R-Va., Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., introduced to the Senate a revised version of the "Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act." This bill is a modern version of the Montgomery GI Bill and could make school more affordable for veterans like Archambault.
The revision would provide veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan with 36 months of benefits, including the cost of the most expensive public university in the state. It would also give veterans a monthly stipend that covers local housing expenses, according to a press release on Sen. Webb's Web site.
KU Assistant Registrar Joan Hahn helps veterans receive their benefits from the GI Bill and said extra money made available to veterans would be helpful.
The current GI Bill covers 36 months of school and veterans have to use the benefits within 10 years of leaving service.
"I know for a lot of students it still doesn't cover the full amount of their tuition and fees, and then they still have to get a job or take out a student loan because they still don't have enough money for them to live on," Hahn said.
According to a press release from Sen. Webb's Web site, the
revised bill is meant to give veterans benefits comparable to the aid that World War II veterans received when the original GI Bill of 1944 was issued.
During Spring 2004, a year after the Iraq war started, 268 veterans were receiving benefits from the Gl Bill at the Lawrence campus, said Betty Childers, the registrar's senior administrative representative and Veterans Affairs certifying official. This semester 231 veterans were registered, she said, which is about a 14 percent decrease. Recruiting operations officer for the KU Army ROTC department, Major Ted Culbertson, said the decrease in veteran registration might have been for different reasons, such as veterans had graduated, started a full-time career
or they could currently be deployed.
Culbertson said soldiers would be encouraged to use their education benefits if the University could offer fullpaid tuition and a monthly stipend because of this bill.
Tom Ferry, Saint Michael, Minn., junior, is a cadet in Army ROTC. Even though he hasn't served in Iraq or Afghanistan, he receives aid from the GI Bill. Ferry joined the National Guard, and in order to receive benefits from the GI Bill, he had to complete basic training and advanced individual training.
"I think a lot of the reason people join the military is to gain their educational benefits. It's a big part of why I did it," Ferry said. "I wanted to come out of school debt-free."
"You have the potential to give up your life for the nation. The least they can do is pay for your education."
"The least they can do is pay for your education."
According to the newspaper Army Times, the Bush administration is against this revised bill because it is worried soldiers would leave the military to use the improved benefits.
"You have the potential to give up your life for the nation," said Army ROTC Cadet Fran Glass.
Fifty senators and 111 representatives are cosponsoring the bill, which is bill number S.22 in the state senate and H.R. 2702 in the state house of representatives.
FRAN GLASS Army ROTC cadet
Jeremy Stohs, a legislative aide for first district Congressman Jerry Moran, R-Kan., said Moran was not a sponsor of the bill, but that he was concerned with improving benefits for the National Guard and Reserves, because some had been deployed multiple times since Sept. 11.
Thomas Seay, press secretary for second district Congresswoman Nancy Boyda, D-Kan., said Boyda supported the principles of the bill, but wasn't a sponsor of it.
Aside from the benefits the
revised bill could offer,
Archambault said he would also like to see an extension on the 36 months the bill covers.
Archambault doesn't have to take out loans because of benefits he receives from the bill.
"That's kind of what allows me to go to school, is that extra money." Archambault said. "Otherwise, I probably couldn't afford it."
If the bill passes, Archambault who is a junior, probably won't see the benefits that future veterans could gain. The Senate could vote on the bill this year, but it is still undetermined when specifically that vote will occur, according to the Army Times.
"I didn't even start getting my GI Bill until the second semester I'd been in school, because it really wasn't a big deal to me until I found out we get $700 a month," Archambault said.
Now, whenever Archambault is enrolled in school, he receives his GI Bill benefits.
"That's my mortgage payment every month," he said.

O'Donnell said that a large number of turbines would likely be needed in order to save the University a noticeable amount of money, but he said he couldn't predict the exact number unless his company performed a proper analysis of the University's situation.
The biggest obstacle facing Students of Liberty would be getting the funding to pay the initial cost of the project, said Jeff Severin, director of the KU Center for Sustainability.
STUDENT SENATE
Coalition's platform hopes to employ wind turbines for a greener' campus
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw.kansan.com
One of Students of Liberty's biggest platforms is cutting student fees, which means that most, if not all of the funding, would have to come from the University itself.
Students of Liberty, a student coalition competing in this year's Student Senate election, has revealed its platform regarding building enough wind turbines to power one-third of the University.
Hyde said that he was fully aware of the challenges facing his coalition in this initiative.
Eric Hyde, vice presidential candidate for Students of Liberty, said his coalition's goal would help the University in becoming more environmentally conscious.
in Lawrence and the monthly amount the University pays for electricity.
"It would be an awfully ambitious goal, but somewhere between 10 to 20 percent would strike me as pretty doable," Adams said, referring to the how much of campus could be powered by the turbines.
"There would have to be a pretty major campaign to persuade the University to invest in something like that," Severin said.
At last week's Student Senate debate, Hyde cited Pratt Community College as an example of a campus that took on the same initiative.
According to Pratt Community College's Web site, it completed three EW-50 wind turbines last December.
"There's a green revolution happening right now all over the world," Hyde said. "The University of Kansas ought to be a leader in this new trend."
"One of the worst things you can have for 'greening' is politics mixed in with it," Hyde said at last week's Student Senate debate.
Kent Adams, vice president of finance and operations at Pratt Community College, said the three wind turbines provided about 465,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which powered about 25 percent of Pratt's campus.
Adams said Students of Liberty's plan was feasible, but expensive.
The project's initial cost was about $655,000, but Adams said it
William O'Donnell, marketing director at Integrity Wind Systems, said the University had no way to predict how many wind turbines the University would need, how much the project would cost or how much the project could save without assessing the wind speed
saved the campus about $46,700 per year. In 12 years, Pratt Community College will have saved enough to make back its initial investment, he said.
Each wind turbine costs $155,000, Adams said, and produced about 155,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year.
One key difference between the University of Kansas and Pratt Community College is the amount of electricity each uses. Adams said Pratt Community College used an average of about 1,860,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which is about 1.7 percent of the 107.5 million kilowatt hours the Universit used last year, according to the KU facility operations annual report.

SCIENCE DNA research advances genetic links to disease
NEW YORK — Scientists are scanning human DNA with a precision and scope once unthinkable and rapidly finding genes linked to cancer, arthritis, diabetes and other diseases.
It's a payoff from a landmark achievement completed five years ago — the identification of all the building blocks in the human DNA. Follow-up research
and leaps in DNA-scanning technology have opened the door to a flood of new reports about genetic links to disease.
On a single day in February, for example, three separate research groups reported finding several genetic variants tied to the risk of getting prostate cancer.
And over the past year or so, scientists have reported similar results for conditions ranging from heart attack to multiple sclerosis to gallstones. The
Interviews with scientists at the center of this revolution and a review of published studies over the past six months by the Associated Press make clear the rapid adoption of the new technology and the high expectations for it.

Grant program overpays Katrina victims
Hired contractors to require aid recipients to repay funds provided for hurricane relief
The Road Ho
ASSOCIATED PRESS
New Orleans City Council members, from left, Shelley Midura, Stacey Head Arnie Fielkow and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco listen to Cynthia Hedge-Morrell, right, before the start of a news conference opening the Road Home office in New Orleans Aug. 22, 2006. The private contractor under investigation for the compensation it received to run the Road Home grant program for Katrina victims says that in the rush to deliver aid to homeowners in need some people got too much. Now it wants to hire a separate company to collect millions in grant overpayments.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Imagine that your home was reduced to mold and wood framing by Hurricane Katrina.
Then a collector calls with the staggering news that you have to pay back thousands of dollars.
Desperate for money to rebuild, you engage in a frustrating bureaucratic process, and after months of living in a government-provided trailer tainted with formaldehyde you finally win a federal grant.
Thousands of Katrina victims may be in that situation.
A private contractor under investigation for the compensation it received to run the Road Home grant program for Katrina victims said that in the rush to deliver aid to homeowners in need some people got too much. Now it wants to hire a separate company to collect millions in grant overpayments.
The contractor, ICFInternational of Fairfax, Va., revealed the extent of the overpayments when it issued a March 11 request for bids from companies willing to handle "approximately 1,000 to 5,000 cases that will necessitate collection effort."
The bid invitation said: "The average amount to be collected is estimated to be approximately $35,000, but in some cases may be as high as $100,000 to $150,000."
The biggest grant amount allowed by the Road Home program is $150,000, so ICF believes it paid some recipients the maximum when they should not have received a penny. If ICF's highest estimate of 5,000 collection cases — overpaid by an average of $35,000 — proves to be true, that means applicants will have to pay back a total of $175 million.
One-third of qualified applicants
for Road Home help had yet to receive any rebuilding check as of this past week. The program, which has come to symbolize the lurching Katrina recovery effort, is financed by $11 billion in federal funds.
ICF spokeswoman Gentry Brann said in an e-mail Friday that the overpayments are the inevitable result of the Road Home grant being recalculated to account for insurance money and government aid given to Katrina victims.
Brann said there was a sense of urgency in paying Road Home applicants, and ICF and the state knew applicants would have to return some money.
"The choice was either to process grants immediately or wait until the March 2008 deadline (for submitting Road Home applications) before disbursing any funds," Brann said in her e-mail.
Brann pointed out that 5,000 collections cases would represent a four percent error rate for the Road Home that is "quite good for large federal programs."
Frank Silvestri, co-chair of the Citizen's Road Home Action Team, a group that formed out of frustrations with ICF, sees it far differently.
"They want people to pay for their incompetence and their mistakes. What they need to be is aggressive about finding the underpayments," he said. "People relied, to their detriment, on their (ICFs) expertise and rebuilt their houses and now they want to squeeze this money back out of them."
The prospect of Road Home grant collections comes less than two weeks after the Louisiana inspector general and the legislative auditor said they were investigating why former Gov, Kathleen Blanco paid ICF an extra $156 million in her waning days in office to
administer the program. With the increase, ICF stands to earn $912 million to run Road Home, a contract that also sweetened its initial public stock offering, and helped it buy out four other companies. It now reaches into government contracting sectors that include national defense and the environment.
Paul Rainwater, executive director of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, the state body that asked for the Blanco-ICF investigations, acknowledged the collections could be painful for applicants, many of whom have used up their nest eggs
to rebuild.
"The state must walk a fine line of treating homeowners who have been overpaid with fairness and compassion and ensuring that all federal funds are used for their intended purpose," said Rainwater, an appointee of new Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Upon receiving money from Road Home, grantees sign a batch of forms, including one that says they must refund any overpayments.
Melanie Ehrlich, co-chair of Citizen's Road Home Action Team, which has documented Road Home
cases that appear littered with mistakes, said she had no confidence that ICF had correctly calculated overpayments. She charged that the company was more likely using collections as retribution against people who had appealed their award amounts in effort to get the aid they deserved.
"I think they are looking for ways to decrease awards and that's part of dissuading people," she said.
Brann said applicants are told an appeal could boost or diminish their award. She called Ehrlich's charge "a totally unfounded assertion."
MOVIES
'21'tops box office,
'Horton's slips to second
LOS ANGELES — Movie-goers laid their money down on "21," a gambling romp that was the weekend's box-office high roller with a $23.7 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Starring Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth and Jim Sturgess as math geniuses who make a killing at Vegas' blackjack tables, Sony's "21" bumped off "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!", which had been No. 1 the previous two weekends.
"Horton Hears a Who," distributed by 20th Century Fox, slipped to second place with $17.4 million, raising its total to $117.3 million. It is the first movie this year to pass the $100 million mark.
Despite solid holdover crowds for "Horton," overall business continued to dip. The top 12 movies took in $90 million, down 23 percent from the same weekend last year, when "Blades of Glory" was No. 1 with $33 million.
Hollywood started 2008 with a strong uptick in January, but revenues have trailed off steadily since. Movie admissions had been up as much as 10 percent in early February but now are 2.6 percent behind 2007's, according to box-office tracker Media By Numbers.
By this time last year, Hollywood already had churned out a blockbuster with "300," which eventually topped $200 million, and other hits that included "Wild Hogs" and "Meet the Robinsons."
"Last year was very,very strong at this point.It's made comparisons very tough," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers."We're not that far into the year,so every down weekend has a huge impact on the bottom line."

ELECTIONS Complex printing process causes shortage of ballots
It's a simple question with no simple answer: Why do polling places across America keep running out of ballots when it's no secret that this contentious primary season keeps breaking voter turnout records?
For one, even the best-made plans have gone awry; officials in state after state have ordered more ballots, only to see turnouts exceed their most ambitious estimates.
Some states — California, for example — extended registration deadlines, in part to give would-be
voters more time to sign up for the first Democratic presidential nomination race between a black man and a woman.
But some election officials say those extensions have necessitated a form of fortune telling when it comes to deciding how many ballots to order.
Not helping is the fact that ballot printing is a highly specialized field with a limited number of companies willing to take on the heavily monitored and time-consuming burden of producing and delivering voting cards, Price per ballot can range from 20 cents to more than $1, depending on complexity. Lead times for printing can range from months to weeks to days, depending on circumstances, including the proximity of Election Day.
So with Pennsylvania's important April 22 primary looming, and nine other state nominating contests scheduled for May, election activists wonder if even more voters could be subject to huge lines and disenfranchisement caused by an insufficient supply of ballots.
"We're going to keep having this problem," said Doug Lewis, director of the Election Center, which represents voting officials across the country. "Running an election sounds pretty simple until you try to do it. Folks just don't understand how much advance planning goes into setting this up."

Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., campaigns at Sara's Diner in Fort Wayne, Ind., Friday. With women the majority of Democratic voters nationwide, strategists warn of damage to the party's chances in November if female voters sense Clinton was unfairly muscled out by a mostly male party establishment.
Females may hold party's fate
BY BETH FOUHY ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ALBANY, Ind. — Debra Starks has heard the calls for Hillary Rodham Clinton to quit the presidential race, and she's not happy about it.
The 53-year-old Wal-Mart clerk, so bedecked with Clinton campaign buttons most days that friends call her "Button Lady," thinks sexism is playing a role in efforts to push the New York senator from the race. Starks wants Clinton to push back.
"The way I look at it, she's a strong woman and she needs to stay in there." Starks said at a Clinton rally. "She needs to fight. If you want to be president, you have to fight for what you want. If she stays in there and does what she's supposed to do, I think she'll be on her ..."
A m i d m o u n t i n g calls from top Democrats for Clinton to step aside and clear the path for rival Barack Obama, strategists are warning of damage to the party's
"I don't think it's up to our campaign or any individual to tell Hillary Clinton or their campaign when that is." Kerry, the 2004 Democratic nominee, said on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "But there will be, I think, a consensus about it, and I think it's going to occur over these next weeks."
"Women will indeed be upset if it appears people are trying to push Hillary Clinton out of the way."
To be sure, Clinton campaign officials concede her path to winning the nomination is not at all clear.
chances in November if women
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson on Sunday called Obama's lead all but insmountable, while Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry said the contest would be reaching "a point of judgment" very soon.
She almost certainly will end the primary season narrowly trailing Obama in the popular vote and among pledged delegates unless the nullified primaries in Florida and Michigan are counted — an unlikely scenario at best. But Obama is unlikely to end the race with the 2,024 pledged delegates needed to win outright either, meaning the
in November if women — who make up the majority of Democratic voters nationwide, but especially the older, white working-class women who've long formed the former first lady's base — sense a mostly male party establishment is unfairly muscling Clinton out of the race.
Other Obama supporters have echoed that view while stopping short of asking Clinton to withdraw.
"Women will indeed be upset if it appears people are trying to push Hillary Clinton out of the way," said Carol Fowler, the South Carolina Democratic Party chair who is backing Obama. "If you are going to ask her to withdraw, you'd better be making a strong case for it — both to the candidate and the public."
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy last week became the first leading Democrat to openly call on Clinton to abandon her bid and back Obama, a sentiment shared by many activists worried that a drawn-out nominating contest only bolsters Republican nominee-inwaiting John McCain.

nominee will be determined by roughly 800 "superdelegates" — elected officials and party insiders who can back whichever candidate they want.
Most observers believe the
superdelegates are unlikely to risk an intraparty uproar — not to mention the ire of black voters thrilled to support a black candidate — by siding with Clinton if Obama maintains his lead among pledged delegates.
But Clinton advisers believe many superdelegates remain at least persuadable, due in no small part to the influence of women voters on the party and in the general election.
"My e-mail is bursting with women who are furious, and it's grown in the last week," said Ann Lewis, Clinton's director of women's outreach and a longtime Democratic activist.
" These women are the volunteer infrastructure of the Democratic Party who've been proud to support Democratic officials for what they believe

and stand for," Lewis said. "They are very angry that people they worked for so hard would be so dismissive of Hillary and, by extension, of them and what they value."
For his part, the Illinois senator — whose seemingly disrespectful crack of "You're likable enough, Hillary" during a debate with Clinton may have cost him the New Hampshire primary — said Saturday he did not believe Clinton should end her campaign.
Clinton insists she's in it to the end, saying a "spirited contest" is good for the party and ultimately will produce a stronger nominee.
Indeed, the gender gap in most of the primaries thus far has been stark.
Nine more primaries follow, ending June 3.
"My attitude is Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants," Obama said in Pennsylvania, which holds its primary April 22.
In California, Clinton bested Obama by a margin of 59 percent to

"There are millions of reasons to continue this race; people in Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina, and all of the contests yet to come," she told reporters Friday in Hammond, Ind. "This is a very close race and clearly I believe strongly that everyone should have their voices heard and their votes counted."
Marie Wilson, president of the White House Project that trains women to run for office, noted that women typically have rallied around Clinton when she's appeared most

Lights out for Earth Hour
The Montreal skyline is seen a couple of minutes after 8 p.m. on Saturday. The environmental group WWF urged governments, businesses and households to turn back to candle power for at least 60 minutes wherever they were during a worldwide campaign to highlight the waste of electricity and the threat of climate change.

CHICAGO — From the Sydney Opera House to Rome's Colosseum to the Sears Tower's famous antennas in Chicago, floodlit icons of civilization went dark Saturday for Earth Hour, a worldwide campaign to highlight the threat of climate change.
"What's amazing is that it's transcending political boundaries and happening in places like China, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea," said Andy Ridley, executive director of Earth Hour. "It really seems to have resonated with anybody and everybody."
The environmental group WWF urged governments, businesses and households to turn back to candle power for at least 60 minutes starting at 8 p.m. where they were.
The campaign began last year in Australia, and traveled this year from the South Pacific to Europe to North America in cadence with the setting of the sun.
Earth Hour officials hoped 100 million people would turn off their nonessential lights and electronic goods for the hour. Electricity plants produce greenhouse gases that fuel climate change.
In Chicago, lights on more than 200 downtown buildings were dimmed Saturday night, including the stripe of white light around the top of the John Hancock Center. The red-and-white marquee outside Wrigley Field also went dark.
"There's a widespread belief that somehow people in the United States don't understand that this is a problem that we're lazy and wedded to our lifestyles. (Earth Hour) demonstrates that that is wrong." Richard Moss, a member of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the climate change vice president for WWF, said in Chicago on Saturday.
Workers in Phoenix turned out the lights in all downtown city-
owned buildings for one hour. Darkened restaurants glowed with candlight in San Francisco while the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower and other landmarks extinguished lights for an hour.
New Zealand and Fiji were first out of the starting blocks this year. And in Sydney, Australia — where an estimated 2.2 million observed the blackout last year — the city's two architectural icons, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, faded to black against a dramatic backdrop of a lightning storm.
Lights also went out at the famed Wat Arun Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand; shopping and cultural centers in Manila, Philippines; several castles in Sweden and Denmark; the parliament building in Budapest, Hungary; a string of landmarks in Warsaw, Poland; and both London Castle Hall and Canterbury Cathedral in England.
Greece, an hour ahead of most of Europe, was the first on the continent to mark Earth Hour. On the isle of Aegina, near Athens, much of its population marched by candlelight to the port. Parts of Athens itself, including the floodlit city hall, also turned to black.
In Ireland, where environmentalists are part of the coalition government, lights-out orders went out for scores of government buildings, bridges and monuments in more than a dozen cities and towns.
But the international banks and brokerages of Dublin's financial district blazed away with light, illuminating floor after empty floor of desks and idling computers.
"The banks should have embraced this wholeheartedly and they didn't. But it's a start. Maybe next year," said Cathy Flanagan, an Earth Hour organizer in Dublin.
Ireland's more than 7,000 pubs elected not to take part — in part because of the risk that Saturday night revelers could end up smashing glasses, falling down stairs, or setting themselves on fire with candles.
Likewise, much of Europe including France, Germany, Spain and European Union institutions planned nothing to mark Earth Hour.
DEATH
Internet search engine Google lent its support to Earth Hour by blackening its normally white home page and challenging visitors: "We've turned the lights out. Now it's your turn."

New York Times journalist dies
NEW YORK — Dith Pran, the Cambodian-born journalist whose harrowing tale of enslavement and eventual escape from that country's murderous Khmer Rouge revolutionaries in 1979 became the subject of the award-winning film "The Killing Fields," died Sunday. He was 65.
Dith died at a New Jersey hospital Sunday morning of pancreatic cancer, according to Sydney Schanberg, his former colleague at The New York Times. Dith had been diagnosed almost three months ago.
Dith was working as an interpreter and assistant for Schanberg in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, when the Vietnam War reached its chaotic end in April 1975 and both countries were taken over by Communist forces.
Schanberg helped Dith's family get out but was forced to leave his friend behind after the capital fell; they were not reunited until Dith escaped four and a half years later. Eventually, Dith resettled in the United States and went to work as a photographer for the Times.
It was Dith himself who coined the term "killing fields" for the horrifying clusters of corpses and skeletal remains of victims he encountered on his desperate journey to freedom.
"That was the phrase he used from the very first day, during our wondrous reunion in the refugee camp," Schanberg said later.
The regime of Pol Pot, bent on turning Cambodia back into a strictly agrarian society, and his Communist zealots were blamed for the deaths of nearly 2 million of Cambodia's 7 million people.
With thousands being executed simply for manifesting signs of intellect or Western influence — even wearing glasses or wristwatches — Dith survived by masquerading as an uneducated peasant, toiling in the fields and subsisting on as little as a mouthful of rice a day, and whatever small animals he could catch.
After Dith moved to the U.S., he became a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and founded the Dith Pran Holocaust Awareness Project, dedicated to educating people on the history of the Khmer Rouge regime.
He was "a journalist and hero," New York Times executive editor Bill Keller said in a letter to the staff Sunday. He added: "that last word is not one I use lightly."
He was "the most patriotic American photographer I've ever met, always talking about how he loves America," said Associated Press photographer Paul Sakuma, who knew Dith through their work with the Asian American

Journalists Association.
Schanberg described Dith's ordeal and salvation in a 1980 magazine article titled "The Death and Life of Dith Pran." Schanberg's reporting from Phnom Penh had earned him a Pulitzer Prize in 1976.
"Pran was a true reporter, a fighter for the truth and for his people," Schanberg said. "When cancer struck, he fought for his life again.

Sale to benefit Jubilee Cafe
'Empty Bowls' program helps combat worldwide hunger

Stouffer Place Apartments played host to a program this weekend to benefit the Jubilee Café, located in First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St., which provides breakfast for the homeless.
On Saturday, Stouffer residents painted ceramic bowls and will sell them in front of Wescoe Hall.
Clark Zhu, 5, left, and Runzhe Cui, 4, show off their painted bowls at the Empty Bowls program at Stouffer Place on Saturday. The bowls will be sold in front of Wescoe Hall, but resident assistant Don Claus doesn't know when.
"Empty Bowls," a program based in Burnsville, N.C., sponsors events that help combat hunger around the world.
Don Claus, a Stouffer resident assistant, said the Jayhawker Towers Tenants Association bought about 20 bowls from Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St.
David Jones, JTTA president, encouraged Jayhawker Towers and Stouffer RAs to use extra budget money to offer charitable activities for residents.
Each bowl will be sold for $6 on Wescoe Beach, but Claus did not know when Sunfire would have all the bowls fired and ready for sale.
Pedro Mateo, a graduate student from Guatemala, and his son Lwin painted bowls because Mateo thought it would be fun for his son, and to contribute to Jubilee Cafe.
Mateo and Lwin painted a detailed pattern on their bowls, and Mateo said they were trying "to paint the typical cloth from Guatemala."
Claus said he had the program because there are a lot of children living in Stouffer. If it were only adults at the program, Claus said, it would be obvious that the bowls were painted by adults. He liked the spontaneous creativity that children had.
"I was hoping that they would bring a nice little variety," Claus said.

Police chief recounts shooting
Five students died in Northern Illinois University tragedy

"I know intuitively there's nothing I could have done to protect them," he told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "But it doesn't change the fact that, inside, I feel like I wanted to be able to do something."
DEKALB, Ill. — The police chief at Northern Illinois University replays the chaos over and over in his mind: sprinting, pistol in hand and reading glasses still on, through waves of screaming students at a lecture hall.
And he still wonders weeks later: could he have done more to prevent the deaths of five students when a former student opened fire in the crowded hall on Valentine's Day?
Grady has SWAT team training and has advised governments and militaries in war-torn countries, but the shooting, he said, was the "ugliest" test of his career.
Donald Grady remembers kneeling over the wounded and dying as the gunman's body lay on stage, dead of a gunshot wound.

Kansas beats Davidson 59-57, prepares to face former coach Williams; Self avenges critics with first trip to Final Four

Kansas coach Bill Self cuts the last strand off the net in celebration of Kansas' victory over Davidson Sunday evening at Ford Field in Detroit. Self and the Jayhawks head to the Final Four in San Antonio, Texas, where they will face North Carolina. The trip to the Final Four is the first for Self.

Russell Robinson and Sherron Collins got their first true taste of NCAA Tournament glory with one net-cutting ceremony, but they wanted more. Robinson, walking off the court in his Final Four hat and shirt after KU's 59-57 clinching victory against Davidson, told an administration member he wanted the net that was still hanging from the other basket.
"Russell, you should get that whole thing," Collins shouted.
DETROIT - One little piece of net wasn't enough.
Finally, the other net came down.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
Finally, the other Robinson took half of it, and Collins took the rest. They wore their prizes around their necks in the locker room.
"Looks real good," Robinson said.
He just sat and smiled. Collins bragged about how he had received 35 congratulatory text messages. No
KU player or coach could hide his excitement, and why not? They'd earned a spot in the Final Four - the first for all the players, who had gone through two first round losses and an Elite Eight disaster last season, and the first for Kansas coach Bill Self after coming so close four other times.
"All that negative talk he had in the past," Darnell Jackson said about Self, "now we made it. Now we have a chance to make something happen."
Self climbed the ladder to the net after all the players and pumped his fists toward the crowd out of joy and out of relief. All the criticism from the first round losses
"Even though we're always going to get good players at Kansas, this was the year this needed to happen for the immediate future."
and the failures in the Elite Eight had worn on him and his family. Players could tell Self had been stressing out since Friday night. He never thought he had to make the Final Four to validate himself as a great coach, but he wanted it badly.
rolling past higher seeds Georgetown and Wisconsin. With 16 seconds left and Kansas clinging to a 59-57 lead, Davidson had the ball and an opportunity to win or tie the game.
Self had one main instruction for his players in the huddle: don't let Stephen Curry take a three-pointer. He'd rather they force Curry, the star of the tournament, to shoot a two or even foul him hard. Curry had the ball in his hands for most of the possession until Collins, Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush collapsed on him. He dumped it to Jason Richards, who missed an off-balanced three with Collins in his face.
"We've been so close so many times," Self said. "Even though we're always going to get good players at Kansas, this was the year this needed to happen for the immediate future."
"When he got rid of it," Self said, "I was happy."
Funny how the postgame atmosphere could've been so different. Davidson gave the Jayhawks everything they expected after they watched tape of the Wildcats

Curry missed nine of 13 shots in the second half after scoring 15 points in the first 20 minutes. He started to struggle when the Jayhawks switched to a box and one and used Rush to defend Curry.

different. Outside of Sasha Kaun, who played the role of unlikely hero with 13 points on six of six shooting, the Jayhawks never really got into a flow on offense because of Davidson's double teams, pressure and an inability to force turnovers. Jackson said they were trying too hard.
It was good for Kansas that its defense shut down Davidson. Otherwise, the game could've been plenty
"We wanted it so bad," he said. "There were a lot of guys so sped up."
Kansas wanted to win a sloppy one. Before the season started, Robinson said the coaches often talked about the importance of winning when they don't play at a high level. Earlier round games against Portland State, UNLV and Villanova pro-
They didn't in this one, and it should help them in the Final Four against North Carolina.
"To win it all, don't you have to win one like this?" Self said. "oh this."
"Everybody has to go through this."

This Saturday's game should provide a bigger challenge and certainly more drama because of the presence of Tar Heels coach Roy Williams. The Jayhawks
will be ready for it.
After Robinson took down his first clip of the net, Athletics Director Lew Perkins greeted him with a bear hug near the three-point line.
"That's a powerful hug." Robinson told
him.
Perkins has been telling Robinson throughout the tournament that he needs to step up and be the best leader possible. This time, Perkins whispered a reminder to Robinson that he and his teammates are

She said that if you talked to baseball coach Rich Price, you would probably get the same response from him about the weather. Bunge said it hurt the attendance, but the team had still been playing well in the poor weather.
The team had no problem getting through the weekend with a sweep of Texas Tech. Junior pitcher Valerie George carried the team in the first game of the doubleheader. George collected her fifth shutout of the season, and junior third baseman Val Chapple drove in the only run with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first inning.
Bunge was happy that George got the shutout, especially on a day when it seemed like she didn't have her best stuff.
"She got herself into trouble in a couple of different innings with runners in scoring position," Burge said. "Yet she pitched really tough in those situations and that's what you like to see."
George scattered three Texas Tech hits over seven innings, including two doubles to Texas Tech senior first baseman
Bunge said the team did just enough to win the ball game. She said that she was not extremely happy with the offensive output

fielder Dougie McCaulley and sophomore second baseman Sara Ramirez also had multiple hits, and seven jayhawks total got a hit in the game.
TRACY BUNGE Coach
The second game was a much more offensive affair. The Jayhawks scored 12 runs on 12 hits and held on for a 12-7 victory. Senior left fielder Betsy Wilson continued her impressive season with a perfect four-for-four day at the plate, including a double, six RBI and her third home run of the season. Junior center
"She's having the best year of her career since she's been at KU this year," Bunge said.
She said she was happy not only to see Wilson perform, but to also see the production that she sparked with the rest of the Jayhawks at the bottom of the line-up.

Bunge said the team definitely needed these two games against Texas Tech to gain momentum in the Big 12. The Jayhawks play at Creighton on Wednesday and will not play at home again until April 12 against Texas. Bunge looks forward to another road test in Nebraska. "Right now, the bottom line is the team's just playing with a lot of confidence," Bunge said.

Hansbrough leads North Carolina past Louisville 83-73
BY AARON BEARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tyler Hansbrough always found a way for North Carolina, whether it was carrying the Tar Heels when they lost their point guard or making a shot despite every defender knowing the ball would end up in his hands.
Hansbrough had 28 points and 13 rebounds Saturday night to help the Tar Heels hold off Louisville 83-73 in the East Regional final
Now, with his relentless drive and unyielding will, Hansbrough has the Tar Heels back in the Final Four.
and reach the national semifinals for the first time since winning the championship in 2005.
The Tar Heels (36-2) advanced to play the Kansas-Davidson winner next Saturday at San Antonio, setting up a potential matchup between Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams and the Jayhawks program he left behind when he returned to his alma mater in 2003.
On this night, however, the focus was squarely on the Atlantic Coast Conference's player of the year.
and was named regional MVP. That included a pair of clutch jumpers over 6-11 center David Padgett as the Tar Heels desperately tried to hold their tenuous second-half lead in the final minutes.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Battling in a physical contest inside, Hansbrough finished 12-for-17 from the floor in 38 minutes.
"He is the most driven, focused player I've ever seen in my life." Williams said. "He wants to be the best player he can be and win."
AIRLINES
For Hansbrough and his teammates, it was a reversal from last year's second-half collapse against Georgetown in the NCAA tournament's round of eight.
The Tar Heels have won all four of their games in this tournament by double digits. All four victories came in their home state, too, allowing them to celebrate in front of plenty of blue-clad fans Saturday.
North Carolina head coach Roy Williams talks with Tyler Hansbrough following the NCAA East Regional final basketball game against Louisville, Saturday, in Charlotte, N.C. North Carolina won 83-73 to advance to the Final Four.
most against the Hoyas in a loss that had stayed with them all season. But this time, the Tar Heels played with steady poise when the third-seeded Cardinals (27-9) erased the margin
and traded baskets with them in the anxious final minutes.
First, with the Tar Heels clinging to a 68-64 lead, Lawson came around the baseline and knocked down a 3 from the corner in front of his bench that pushed the margin to seven. Then, after a basket from Earl Clark inside, Hansbrough knocked down a straightaway jumper over Padgett to make it 73-66 with 2:27 to play.
Hansbrough essentially closed the door on Louisville on the next possession. The 6-9 junior got the ball on the left wing with the shot clock winding down, then pumpfaked to get Clark up in the air and step in for another jumper over Padgett. The ball swished cleanly through while Hansbrough was knocked to the ground, pushing the lead to 75-66 with 1:33 left.
"I've been playing with him my whole college career," said junior Danny Green, who had 11 points despite needing four stitches to close a cut above his left eye late in the first half. "A lot of shots that he takes and makes, it still shocks me to this day. I'm like, 'How did he get that off and how did he make it?' He's been doing it his whole career."
Ty Lawson added 11 points — including a key 3-pointer with about 5 minutes left — for North Carolina, which blew a 12-point halftime lead, then broke away from a tie at 59 to earn their 17th trip to the Final Four.
The Tar Heels went 8-for-8 at the foul line to seal it in the final minute. That steady hand was a from change last year's loss to the Hoyas, in which they missed 22 of 23 shots and let an 11-point lead slip away in the 96-84 overtime loss.
Jerry Smith scored 17 points to lead Louisville, which shot 53 percent and gave the Tar Heels all they could handle after halftime.
"We played exactly the style of play we needed to win," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "It's very difficult sometimes for people to admit when the other team is better. But we're a very good basketball team this year, very good, and they were better tonight."

The Tar Heels shot 53 percent to become the first team to shoot better than 50 percent against the Cardinals. The win allowed Williams to move past Pitino and Bob Knight and into a tie with Kentucky's Adolph Rupp and Louisville's Denny Crum with six Final Four appearances, which is fourth most all-time.
The game came hours after the Louisville and North Carolina women's teams played in the NCAA round of 16 in New Orleans. In that game, the top-seeded Tar Heels rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat the fourth-seeded Cardinals 78-74.
The baskets left Louisville's players in similar disbelief.
"You see the guy as a junior and he's getting his jersey retired and you're like, 'Why?'?" said Terrence Williams, who had 14 points for Louisville. "Then you play against him and you say, 'That's why.' He'll go through the floor just to get a rebound. He's a great player."

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright sits in the dugout during a spring training baseball game against the Florida Marlins March 20 in Jupiter, Fla. Wainwright is scheduled to be the opening day starter Monday in St. Louis against the Colorado Rockies.
Rockies look for 07 repeat
BY R.B. FALLSTROM AP SPORTS WRITER
ST. LOUIS Are the Colorado Rockies for real? Is this a rebuilding year for the St. Louis Cardinals?
TheNL's surprise World Series entrant last fall and a team that's jettisoned many of its stars from an unlikely 2006 postseason championship run open with a three-game series on Monday. Doubt surrounds both teams, the Rockies after a quiet offseason and a middle of the road pedigree, and the Cardinals because of pitching injuries and a rebuilt lineup.
"Spring training's full of predictions, both good and bad," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said Sunday. "Most of them are wrong.
"We don't really concern ourselves with what people believe or don't believe."
Besides the departed Jim Edmonds, Scott Rolen and David Eckstein, the Cardinals open without most of their projected rotation and have been picked by many to finish in the bottom half of the Central Division. It would be a big drop-off for a franchise that's made it to the postseason six of the last eight seasons.
Yet St. Louis finished spring training on a 12-1-1 tear after signing free agent right-hander Kyle Lohse to plug one of the holes.
"You mean the same guys who picked us to win last year?" manager Tony La Russa said. "They're just guessing and who can blame them when they look at all of our questions and changes?"
"We're playing with that sense of 'What do we have to lose?' said Adam Wainright, who will get his first opening day start. "Nobody's expecting anything from us. "We're going to go out there and play free and easy and stinking go after it with an excitement level that's pretty hard to match."
The Rockies were overlooked
entering last year, and their 18-2/ start justified that thinking. A magical 21-1 run propelled them to the World Series, but then they were swept by the Red Sox and during the winter concentrated on retaining their top players.
"We believe we've made improvements from just some grounded facts, that everybody's got a year's more experience in the core group together," Hurdle said. "We've played games where we've been tested by fire all through September."
"We've played playoff games went to a World Series. Those things help you as you grow up."
also got their best player facing a team he has owned. Matt Holliday has a .418 career average against the Cardinals, his best against any opponent, and is at .483 with five homers and seven RBIs at new Bush Stadium, entering its third season.
In the opening series, they've
"He's like Albert (Pujols) almost," Wainwright said. "Almost. I have a game plan and I'm going to follow it, and if I make my pitches I'm very confident I can get him out."
Just like the Cardinals, the Rockies appear shakiest in the rotation. Left-hander Jeff Francis won 17 games last year and gets his first opening day start.

Bush throws to cheers, jeers at game
BY BEN FELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NATIONALS
WASHINGTON — To a mix of cheers and jeers, President Bush opened baseball's newest stadium Sunday night with a ceremonial first pitch.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bush waved twice quickly as he strode to the mound at National Park. He wasted little time before throwing a high pitch straight down the middle to Washington Nationals manager Manny Acta.
Bush acknowledged the crowd one more time by raising his hand as he left the field, again hearing applause and boos. A few minutes later, Acta's team took the field to play the Atlanta Braves to open the National League season.
President Bush throws out the ceremonial first pitch before the home opener for the Nationals in their new ballpark Sunday in Washington. The Nationals face the Atlanta Braves in the first game of the season.
It was the second time Bush has performed the honor in Washington and the sixth time overall in his presidency. He threw out the first pitch in 2005 — mostly to cheers when baseball returned to the
— when baseball returned to the city after more than three decades.
Bush visited both teams in their clubhouses before the game and was escorted onto the field by Acta and Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman.
It wasn't surprising that Bush's pitch was high — just as it was in 2005. People tend to have long memories when the ball is bounced to home plate, so Bush made time this week to hurl some practice pitches in his backyard — the South Lawn of the White House.

The tradition of a presidential first pitch goes back to 1910, when a formally dressed William Howard Taft threw the ball from his seat in the stands. Each occasion is different, but some years surely have more pizazz than others, and Bush is benefiting from a little good tim-
Washington is buzzing about baseball. There are opening days of a season every year, but opening days for a stadium are etched into a city's history.
Nationals Park is earning raves as a plush, appealing attraction from fans who have seen it so far during trial runs; the players, meanwhile, can't get over the immaculate conditions and amenities.

MEN'S BASKETBALL WRAP-UP
MEN'S BASKET Lack of sleep no problem for Kaun during Elite Eight
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
DETROIT - The sweat wasn't quite dried on Sasha Kaun's face, and his game worn袜s from Kansas' 59-57 victory against Davidson were still strapped to his feet.
Kansas' senior center had just lead Kansas to the Final Four with 13 points on 6-of-6 shooting in front of 57,563 fans at Ford Field, and Kaun was exhausted. Figures, because on the night before the biggest game of Kaun's life, Kansas' 6-foot-11 senior center couldn't fall asleep.
Junior forward Matt Kleinman slept soundly in the bed next to him, but Kaun kept tossing and turning. His last opportunity to play in a Final Four sat in front of him and Kaun couldn't stop thinking about it.
"I couldn't calm myself down to go to bed," Kaun said.
Kaun wanted this game so much, in fact, that he surprised his teammates in the locker room before the game. Kaun worked himself into a frenzy, just trying to get his teammates hyped. Russell Robinson couldn't understand what Kaun was saying, but he got the message.
Yet, it was Kansas' fans that might have had trouble recognizing Kaun in the second half. The kid who had grown up in Russia and moved to Florida in the ninth grade played with fire and intensity, scoring nine points in the second half.
"You normally don't see that side of him." Robinson said.
Kaun called it urgency that only a college senior could know.
"I thought it might be over," Kaun said.
With Kansas trailing 49-45 with 9:33 left in the second half, the butterflies started growing. Junior guard Mario Chalmers drove to the basket, and hoisted up a shot that rimmed out. But Kaun was there for the tip-in, cutting the Davidson lead to two.
A few possessions later, after sophomore guard Sherron Collins made a three-pointer to give Kansas
a one-point lead, Kaun extended the lead to three with another layup.
"He was due for it. He works so hard, and he does everything
to do," Collins said.
Kaun said last year's Elite Eight loss to UCLA was his lowest moment on basketball floor, and that game entered his mind on Sunda
Kaun wanted to make sure his career didn't end in the same round that brought on so much heartache last year. With 2:19 left, Kaun made

Kansas coach Bill Self was just glad Curry didn't take the last shot. "If I don't make it, I'm out."

"Every time he hit a shot, it was like Michael Jordan was hitting a shot," Russell Robinson said.
Self finally switched Kansas to a box-and-one defense with four minutes left in the first half, tabbing Robinson to shadow Curry and placing the rest of the Jayhawks in a zone.
The Jayhawks went back to the defense in the opening minutes of the second half, with a combination of Rush, Robinson and Rush chasing Curry step-for-step.
"He got a little frustrated, and he forced a couple shots," Collins said. "That was what we wanted."
Curry made just 4-of-13 from the field in the second half and just 2-of-10 from behind the three-line.
Curry played all 40 minutes against Kansas.
"I really just think he was little tired," Robinson said.
"With a player like him, he does so much, you just got to try and slow him down," Sophomore guard Sherron Collins said. "You're not going to stop him."

SAG, AFTRA sever contract
BY ANDREW DALTON ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES - Unions representing film and television actors will negotiate separately with producers in upcoming contract talks after board members of the TV actors union voted Saturday to sever a long-standing agreement between the two guilds.
The vote by the board of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists came hours before a meeting with the Screen Actors Guild and just three months before the expiration of the contract covering movies and prime-time shows.
Despite a sometimes rocky 27-year relationship the unions had shown recent signs of peace as they prepared for the upcoming
talks.
The two groups had hoped at Saturday's meeting to set a start date for negotiations. Instead of discussing strategies the sides swapped accusations.
"For the past year SAG leadership in Hollywood has engaged in a relentless campaign of disinformation and disparagement," AFTRA president Roberta Reardon said in a written statement.
SAG President Alan Rosenberg's written response: "AFTRA's refusal now to bargain together with us and their last-second abandonment of the joint process is calculated, cynical and may serve the interests of their institution, but not its members."
The AFTRA board said the vote to terminate the agreement, known as "Phase One," was "over"
whelming."
Wary of repeating the damage wrought by the recently ended 100-day Hollywood writers strike, producers and several A-list actors including Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro had been pressing for negotiations to start as early as this week.
The 120,000-member Screen Actors Guild represents actors in movies, TV and other media. The 70,000-member TV and radio federation represents, among others, actors, singers, announcers and journalists.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, said in a statement that it looks forward to bargaining with AFTRA. It did not mention SAG.

Economy causes strife for students
JORDAN WILLIAMS
Attention all students: the economy sucks.
It will likely continue to suck long after the classes of 2008 and 2009 have graduated.
It all seems fairly humorous to me, considering just four years ago the biggest money issue for college students was a possible cap on tuition costs. Pick up any issue of Newsweek or watch a 24-hour news channel, and you will learn that many daunting economic ailments such as increasing inflation, stagnant wages and rising unemployment sap graduating students for all they're worth.
Middle-class students with parents who have modest-to-boastful incomes should be more aware of the parental nest egg. Economists suggest that Americans between 18-30 will subsidize their parents' Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security at the largest proportions in the history of these programs. Baby boomers will pose a huge strain on government spending.
Compound this with the problem that students are taking out loans at record highs. According to The College Board, private loan recipients rose 30 percent from 2004 to 2005. Banks push loans with interest rates that would make Capital One blush, and they claim these loans are convenient and necessary.
The American dollar is worth less and less every year. The Canadian dollar outpaces America by approximately one cent now. And don't even think about traveling to the United Kingdom unless your surname is Trump.
Lou Dobbs may be on to something when he says there is a war on the middle-class, and special interests are the main perpetuators. Some conservatives in Congress, who eagerly lob the socialist moniker for their respective economic plans, seem to have no qualms with stabilizing or rescuing flailing banks and other poisoned Wall Street entities with
taxpayer money (Bear Stearns, Bank of America, anyone?).
But in all fairness, neither of the candidates has proposed policies that come close to solving pressing economic problems. According to most analysts, these proposals wouldn't pay for themselves and would cause today's college graduate to pay much higher taxes.
Students are somewhat aware of the pitfalls of loans that target workers with less-than-stellar credit. Unfortunately, many college students haphazardly wield credit cards like magical items and sometimes fail to make regular payments.
Even more destructive are checking account overdrafts that can encourage a preventative charge-off of that bank account, which acts as a giant beacon to future lenders, which is bad unless one does not want to get a job, a new car, etc.
Many Americans don't know their country is in debt to countries like India and Mexico. Incessant borrowing from other countries blunts the potency of the future American dollar by deepening the national debt, which we as future laborers will have to neutralize.
Conventional wisdom says a college education is quite necessary and sometimes expensive. Couple this with the frightful apparition of a receding economy and wasteful government spending on entitlement and social programs (not to mention a duo of wars), and students have something of a lose-(maybe)-win situation.
Students cannot do anything about inflation or gas prices, but they can be careful about credit card debt and student loans.
It wouldn't hurt politicians to be more concerned about people losing their homes than the Wall Street aficionados losing their year-end bonuses.
This topic's urgency will settle in when that starting salary of $75,000 can barely cover monthly expenses that would have been manageable a decade ago.

COMMENTARY
Bad habits die hard, even in election season
I have a bad habit I'm going to have to break if I ever want to fulfill my dream of being elected president of a home-owners' association: I have been known to exaggerate the truth.
First I told myself it was something I had to do to protect myself. Had I used my real name at the library, the faculty would know I was ditching German class (again). Then I went on a trip to Washington, DC, and told the beggars who asked my name that I was Steve Lawrence. Why were they asking my name, anyway?
There was a time that the American people accepted that from their leaders, but not anymore. Now we demand complete honesty (or at least a more-complete destruction of contradictory evidence).
I knew my dishonesty had become a problem when I lied to my doctor. I had a medical problem that could have been associated with my city government desk job. When I got to the doctor's office and filled out the paperwork, I decided that I could claim a thrilling job description and, as long as it was still a desk job, I wouldn't be keeping my doctor from anything
My dishonesty started as a fantasy I'd think about but never do. Then one day I signed in to the high school library as "Nikita Khrushchev," and it was all downhill from there.
BRANDON T MINSTER
he needed to know. Instead of writing "city planner" for my line of work, I wrote "hostage negotiator"
The doctor came in to my room and went through my questionnaire. He said, "So, you're a hostage negotiator?"
I said, "That's right."
I know that stunts like this have to stop or else they will derail my political career. No more claims of "sniper fire," no matter how badly I'm losing. I will no longer claim to be People magazine's reigning Sextiest Man Alive, despite how plausible it seems. Although I might make extensive use of the Internet, I will stop telling people that I invented it.
He said, "So what do you really do?" And then he made sort of a big deal out of crossing out my previous answer and writing in my new one.
Gone are the days when Thomas
Of course, in the past few decades, America has made great strides in no longer giving a crap if its elected leaders have anything to hide.
Minster '08: Now More Than Ever.
Eagleton had to give up a vicepresidential nomination because of previously suffering from depression.
Now we're all looking forward to the Democrat Party's convention in Denver, fully expecting Hillary Clinton to go nuts and knock over the microphone stand like in the climactic scene of "Billy Madison."
Following the ouster of New York governor Eliot Spitzer, his replacement, David Paterson, has decided to head off any future embarrassing revelations by providing them all to the media himself. He acknowledged affairs he may have financed with campaign money, and he admitted to past drug use.
If that's really what it takes these days, then let me get two things off my chest: I wish happy birthdays to people even though I don't really care if they have happy birthdays, and when flying, I use the noise of the airplane engines to allow me to fart with impunity.
I hope you can see past these youthful indiscretions and support the electoral juggernaut that is my campaign for home-owners' association president.

UCLA defense topples Xavier
Bruins 76-57 win advances team to third straight Final Four

BY ANDREW BAGNATO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX - After reaching the Final Four for the third straight time, UCLA coach Ben Howland called these Bruins "by far the best" of the three.
Love was picked as the most outstanding player of the West Regional.
The other two didn't have freshman Kevin Love, who had 19 points and 10 rebounds as the top-seeded Bruins blitzed Xavier 76-57 Saturday to earn their record 18th overall trip to the Final Four.
"Obviously, it's unbelievable," Howland said after taking the last few snips of the net. "That's really a credit to how good the players are and how well we performed under pressure the last three years."
It's the Bruins' longest string of Final Four appearances since they closed the John Wooden era with nine straight trips and added a 10th consecutive trip in 1976 under his successor, Gene Bartow.
The Bruins' 1980 Final Four was later vacated by the NCAA because of rules violations.
At times on Saturday, Howland's Bruins looked even bit as dominant as Wooden's finer squads, annihilating a proud Xavier team that had set a school record for victories.
The Bruins (35-3) lost in the Final Four the last two years. But they go to San Antonio with Love, who has given them a formidable inside presence and has raised his game in this tournament.
UCLA plays the Memphis-Texas winner in the national semifinal in San Antonio on April 5.
"We're getting spoiled with Kevin," Howland said.
Love made 7-of-11 shots from the floor, including 2-of-4 from beyond the arc. Half of his rebounds came at the offensive end and he added four assists for good measure.
"He looks like he's 25 years old when he's playing," Xavier coach Sean Miller said of Love, who is 19.
The Musketeers (30-7) had no answer for Love on a day they shot 36.2 percent from the floor — a credit to UCLA's relentless man-to-man defense.
"We can play better than we did today," Miller said. "I couldn't be more proud and really at ease right now because I really felt we went about as far as we could and lost to a
great team. They're unique. I'm really pulling for them. I hope we lost to the national champion."
The knock on UCLA is that it often coasts with a big lead. Not this time.
Leading by nine at halftime, the Bruins snuffed out third-seeded Xavier's comeback hopes with a 14-0 run early in the second half.
"It all started with defense," Love said. "That's what really won the game for us."

With freshman Derrick Rose soaring and scoring, Memphis ended two years of regional final failure and routed Texas 85-67 to reach the Final Four.
The victory in Houston backed up the Tigers' season-long reign near the top of the rankings and sent them to the Final Four for the first time since 1985.
Rose had 21 points, nine assists and six rebounds, outplaying Texas star DJ. Augustin and leading the Tigers (37-1) into a national semifinal Saturday against a UCLA team making its third straight Final Four appearance.
Memphis and UCLA met in the regional finals two years ago and in the 1973 title game, with the Bruins winning both.
Rose took the doubt out of this one in the first half, making a Michael Jordanesque layup as part of his 4-for-4 start, blocking an open-court layup by Augustin and throwing a long pass for a thunderous dunk by loey Dorsey among his four early assists.
The Tigers were up 29-13 after 12 minutes, with Rose accounting for more points than Texas (31-7) scored.
Chris Douglas-Roberts led Memphis with 25 points, with 14 coming on free throws. Dorsey provided 11 points and 12 rebounds.

Kansas pitching squanders seven-run second inning

Before the season, senior Ryne Price said hitting coach Kevin Tucker wanted his hitters to improve with runners in scoring position. Price said Tucker called it being "badasses."
Well, Kansas could have used a badass in the bottom of the fifth of Sunday's game against Texas A&M.
Already leading 7-6, Kansas' first three batters of the inning reached to load the bases. The next three batters promptly made outs, ending the inning with the score unchanged. Failing to convert any of those runners into runs may not have cost Kansas (18-12, 1-5) the game, but it certainly didn't help as Texas A&M (21-6, 6-3) completed its sweep with a 10-8 victory.
"I'm really proud of how hard we played. I'm really proud of the maturity that's in our dugout, how hard we played and the way we swing the bats," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "I just told my team, everything that we need to do better, we can fix. It'd be one thing if we didn't have good enough players to fix it. It's got to start with our starting pitching, and we've got to do a little bit better job making adjustments within the game because our number of quality at-bats throughout the course of the game needs to improve, too."
Junior left-hander Sam Freeman started for the jayhawks, but he didn't last long, allowing six runs in two innings, including a grand slam in the top of the first to Texas A&M designated hitter Darby Brown.
In his brief appearance, Freeman saw his ERA jump from 5.04 to 6.67. As for Brown, his day was far from
over.
"He's still learning how to pitch," Price said of Freeman. "He does not have good mechanics yet, and he was out of sync today. You could see him rushing. His front foot was falling on its heel, and he had no command."
For the weekend, Price received a grand total of 7.2 innings from his starting pitchers. Junior lefty Nick Czyz collected 5.1 of those himself Saturday.
"It's tough when you've got to try to fight your way out of a hole from the first inning, and the first three innings take an hour and a half, and you've still got six to go," senior shortstop Erik Morrison said.
But the Jayhawk offense didn't roll over, striking back in the bottom of the second.
With two on and no out, junior first baseman Preston Land doubled to the left-center field gap to drive in Ryan Price and Morrison. Kansas collected five more hits and runs in the inning, sending 13 batters to the plate, and got Freeman off the hook, assuming a 7-6 lead.
Freshman T.J. Walz entered in the third and the young right-hander gave his team a brilliant effort. At one point Walz had retired nine straight Aggies, but he was no match for Brown in the top of the seventh.
With an 8-6 lead to work with.
Walz put second baseman Blake Stouffer on with a leadoff walk. After Walz retired the next two batters, Brown sent a bomb to center field that nearly flew over the batter's eye, a giant tarp behind the fence that allows hitters to see pitches. Brown's second home run of the day tied the game, 8-8, and capped off a 2-for-5 day and 8-for-15 series for the designated hitter.
Kansas escaped the inning with the score tied, but Texas A&M right-handers Kyle Thebeau (2-2) and Travis Starling shut down the Jayhawk offense.
After Kansas squandered its bases-loaded, no-outs opportunity in the fifth, it managed to tack on only one more run to its total — an RBJ single by Morrison in the bottom of the sixth.
Senior right-hander Andrea Esquibel (2-1) got Kansas out of the seventh, but Texas A&M got to him in the eighth. With two on and two out, third baseman Dane Carter singled to center field, driving in pinch runner Brooks Calley and center fielder Kyle Raligan.
With a 10-8 lead, Starling sealed the victory for the Aggies, earning his sixth save of the season and dropping the Jayhawks to last place in the Big 12.
"We racked up 12 hits, and we hit

Royals watch their spending
MLB
BY LARRY LAGE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Jim Leyland gathered the Detroit Tigers for a meeting in Houston before they traveled home to open the season Monday against the Kansas City Royals.
Detroit's manager did not share his entire message with reporters, but did discuss some of what he said as it related to owner Mike Ilitch spending about $135 million this season.

"I think Guillen is going to be huge, and so does everybody else," said Gil Meche, who will make his second straight opening day start in Detroit. "I know as a pitcher, I'm glad I'm not facing him again."
"This isn't one of those teams, 'I can't believe we didn't pick up this player, or this guy.' We've got no excuses," Leyland said Sunday morning.
The Royals, meanwhile, will have to hope their relatively low payroll allows them to be competitive.
Kansas City's only significant addition on the field in the offseason was signing free agent outfielder Jose Guillen to a $36 million, three-year deal.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Royals hope Guillen will lift their offensively challenged team that hit a league-low 102 homers last season. He has had at least 20 home runs four times in the past five seasons and had 99 RBIs in 2006 with Seattle.
Kansas City also hired a new manager, putting Trey Hillman in charge of a team in the majors for the first time after he was one of the most successful managers in Japan.

Hillman takes over a team with only one winning season since 1994 and four straight last-place finishes in the AL Central.
"It's not something we're proud of," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. "I think guys are committed to winning."

Three conference wins: one more than team had last year

The Kansas basketball team wasn't the only University sport to pick up two big wins during the weekend.

serves against Oklahoma on Friday.
Friday's nail-biting victory against the Sooners snapped a three-game losing skid for the Jayhawks and avenged last year's 4-3 season ending loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament.
The Kansas tennis team holds bragging rights over the state of Oklahoma for this season, after defeating the University of Oklahoma, 4-3, on Friday and stomping Oklahoma State, 6-1, on Sunday.
"Right now, winning two in a row is really exciting," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "You know, beating both Oklahoma schools when they both beat us last year is a quick turnaround, and it's just really exciting right now."
It was senior Lauren Hommell who yet again showed up in the clutch for the Hawks. With Friday's match knotted at 3-3, the senior again demonstrated her poise under pressure defeating Tara Eckel of Oklahoma, 6-2, 6-2, to give Kansas its second conference victory.
match on the line brings out the best in her.
In both Friday's and Sunday's contests the Jayhawks won two out of the three doubles matches to pick up the doubles point. A quick start in doubles has benefited Kansas a lot this year. The team is now 5-2 this season when it takes the early lead through doubles.
On Sunday, however, the Jayhawks were firing on all cylinders and didn't need any late-match heroics. The only singles loss was at the No. 3 spot, where the Jayhawks most winning singles player, Horvath, fell to the Cowgirls Jo-Anne Karaitiana 6-3, 6-1.
In Friday's contest against Oklahoma the Jayhawks benefited from a strong push at the bottom half of their singles line-up. No. 3 junior Edina Horvath, No.4 junior Kunigunda Dorn and No.6 Hommell all contributed victories to give Kansas the edge.
"I kind of like clinching it. I feel like I play better." Hommell said. "It just helps me focus."
The team didn't have to sweat out Sunday's victory thanks in large part to freshman Maladena Tokarczyk who pulled out a 6-3, 7-6(3) victory at the No.1 position to seal the deal for Kansas. Tokarczyk, who has been playing the No.1 spot since Kansas' home opener against Illinois on February 10, feels like she is becoming more comfortable with her spot atop the singles depth chart.

The pair of victories improves Kansas' record to 7-8 overall and 3-2 in the Big 12. With three conference wins on the season Kansas has already tallied more conference victories than last year's total of two.

Hall-Holt knows the Jayhawks have nothing to lose coming into a match versus an opponent like Baylor.

"One thing that I keep preaching to the girls is that we have everything to gain this weekend and nothing to lose," Hall-Holt said. "We got to go out and practice hard like we're playing for a national title."
OLYMPICS
Protest expected for 85,100 mile flame journey
Edited by Daniel Reyes
BEIJING — The Olympic flame arrived in Beijing for a torch re-lighting ceremony Monday, signaling the start of a round-the-world relay that is expected to be a lightning rod for protests against China's policies and human rights practices.
The flame's arrival in Beijing was shown live on state television, and comes a week after the lighting ceremony for the Olympic torch in Greece was marred by protests. There also were protests Sunday by a pro-Tibetan group when Greek officials handed over the flame to organizers of the Beijing Games in Athens.
The torch relay has been heavily promoted by the Chinese
government.
Chief Beijing organizer Liu Qi carried the flame off the plane in a small lantern. He was greeted by Zhou Yongkang, a member of the Communist Party's supreme nine-man Politburo Standing Committee.
About 5,000 people, including 220 foreign journalists, were on hand for the ceremony in Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing.
Martial artists and dancers wearing costumes representing minority ethnic groups, including Tibetans, cavorted on a huge red carpet covering much of the north end of the square.
