THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Ivan Ivanovich Zelvyak COALITIONS PRESENT PLATFORMS Student Senate candidates explain their goals for campus TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 2008 WWW.KANSAN.COM KU FANS' DREAM COME TRUE Jayhawks face former coach VOLUME 118 ISSUE 121 CRIME Suspects named for death of former student BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com Snapp said a witness saw a man identified as one of the suspects leaving the scene of the crime. Police released a detailed sketch of the male suspect Friday. He said there was a lot of pressure for the man to turn himself in because of the sketch. Epps turned himself into the Kansas City Missouri Police Department Sunday and Haygood, whose involvement was previously unknown, turned herself in Monday. Both suspects are expected to make their first appearance in court today. Jackson County prosecutor Jim Kanatzar announced yesterday afternoon that Marlan Epps, 18, and JaeNae Haygood, 21, the Kansas City, Kan., residents suspected of murdering former KU student Brandon Fauntleroy-McDewel, have both been charged with second degree murder, first degree robbery and two counts each of armed criminal action. According to the prosecutor's office, the two could face up to four life sentences if found guilty. According to a Kansas City Missouri Police Department press release, on Tuesday evening the police received a call that a black male in his 20s had been shot near 8th and Jefferson streets. The man, who was pronounced dead a short time later, was identified as 25-year-old Brandon Fauntleroy-McDowel. A witness saw the shooting and then a carjacking. The vehicle described matched McDowel's. The abandoned vehicle was later discovered at about 11 p.m Thursday in Kansas City, Kan. Darin Snapp, public information officer at the KCPD said McDowel's 2002 red Chevrolet Tahoe had been torched and the police had to turn the vehicle over to find a readable VIN. In a KCPD statement released yesterday, Haygood said she dropped a man who she knew as "Mug" at 8th and Jefferson near a red Chevrolet Tahoe. After being shown a picture of Epps, Haygood said he looked too young to be the person she dropped off. SEE SUSPECTS ON PAGE 6A However, Haygood said she saw Mug driving the Tahoe when she returned to Kansas City, Kan. She said she followed Mug to the "Motorcycle Club," where Haygood worked, and they left the vehicle there. Haygood said Mug and her later met up with other people where the vehicle was Classifieds. 4B Crossword. 4A Horoscopes. 4A Opinion. 5A Sports. 1A Sudoku. 4A I weather 53 31 Mostly Sunny — weather.com WEDNESDAY 52 40 Cloudy THURSDAY 51 40 Rain / Thunder All contents, unless stated otherwise. © 2008 The University Daily Kansan. index JAYHAWK SPIRIT Fans fixate on Final Four ROCOS Kappa Sigma members Nathan Jones, Houston freshman, left, Jordan Gormley, Hiawatha freshman, and Justin Jez, Dallas freshman, paint the letters outside the Kappa Sigma house in a Kansas versus North Carolina final four theme on Monday.

It was the second year in a row that the staff, which brings in $1.2 million of sales revenue each year, was honored as the best in the nation, and the third time since 2001. Jon Schlitt, sales and marketing adviser For The Kansan, said the award ceremony signaled the ad staff's success. "Basically the ceremony is the Oscars of advertising," Schlitl said. Katy Pitt, Rosevill, Min., senior and sales manager for the advertising staff, attributed the awards to hard work, long hours and the staff's tight-knit relationship. "It's phenomenal," Pitt said. "This is the culmination of all our work." Along with recognizing the whole staff, three CNBAM awards also highlighted the achievements of individual staff members. Laura Vest, Augusta junior, won the award for Student Sales Rep of the Year. "To be recognized as the best sales person in the United States is unbelievable," Vest said. "I've never felt anything like that before, ever." Vest exceeded her ad sales quota by an average of 66 percent in 2007. Jackie Schaffer. Houston senior, was named Student Business Manager of the Year, an award based on leadership skills. Schaffer, who has worked at The Kansan for six semesters, said her personal achievement was just a piece of what made the ad staff successful last year. The third individual recognition award, Student Sales Manager of the Year, went to Ari Ben. Ben, who graduated in Dec. 2007, now works as a sales rep at the Kansas City Star. Schitt said the staff's success in an age of shrinking ad revenues for newspapers was a tribute to the quality of work they put forth. "We've got a great legacy here at the paper," he said. awards -Best Advertising Staff in the Nation -Best College Newspaper -Student Business Manager of the Year - Jackie Schaffer - Student Sales Manager of the Year - Ari Ben -Student Sales Rep of the Year -Laura Vest -Best of Category - Electronic Banner Ad - Display (Dairy Queen) -Best of Category - Best Special Section (Sex on the Hill) - First Place - Best Electronic Banner - Ad - House (Facebook) 》 STUDENT SENATE - First Place - Best Back to School Section -Third Place - Best Run of Press Display Ad (Aberdeen apartments) play Ad (Aberdeen apartments) -Third Place -Best Run of Press Group Promo (NCAA brackets) —Edited by Mandy Earles Student athletes vote to endorse United Students BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com Matt Baysinger, a senior in track and field and SAAC Big 12 Conference chairman, said 46 of the 52 SAAC members who voted supported United Students. Baysinger said six supported Connect and none supported Students of Liberty. The Student Athlete Advisory Committee voted to endorse United Students Monday evening after the SAAC's Student Senate debate. The majority of the audiences' questions were aimed at Students of Liberty and revolved around the $40 per semester women's and non-revenue sports fee. Students of Liberty had previously stated it would cut the fee. The coalition had also said Student Senate's relationship with the Athletics Department did not need to involve money, United Students and Connect had previously stated they were in support of the fee. A moderator asked several questions to all three coalitions before opening up questioning to the audience during the debate. Wood said the Athletics Department has $16 million in excess revenue. Marchiony said in The Kansan that no athletics programs would be cut if the women and nonrevenue sports fee was cut. Adam Wood, Students of Liberty presidential candidate, said he did not think cutting the fee would hurt women and nonrevenue sports at all. Wood cited a quote from Jim Marchiony, the associate director of athletics, who appeared in The University Daily Kansan last week to support Wood's point. "Are we funding women's and non-revenue sports or are we funding Lou Perkins?" Wood asked. Wood said Students of Liberty did not support using student fees for any program that was not open to all students and that any fees that supported exclusive groups were in violation of Student Senate rules. "I'm pretty sure I can't be a part of women's sports." Wood said. Janice Richard, SAAC Student Senator, told Wood the fee also supports sports like baseball, which Wood could try out for. Despite the fact that he did not vote to support Students of Liberty, Baysinger said he appreciated the coalition's honesty about its intention to cut the fee. "That is not a popular opinion to have in this room, so I appreciate you guys' frankness," Baysinger said. Austin Kelly, Connect presidential candidate, said there needed to be more communication between student athletes and the general student population. "There's much more to anyone in this room than the sport you play or are involved with," Kelly said. McGonigle said as chairman of the Student Senate Executive Committee, he had helped protect the fee. He said when a bill, which proposed to cut the fee, was recently presented to the finance committee, it only failed by one vote. McGonigle said he voted against the bill. Adam McGonigle, United Students presidential candidate, said the fee should be kept in place because students voted for it and student population's opinion should be respected. Jason Oruch, Connect vice-presidential candidate, said that he was not a part of the finance committee so he could not vote on the bill, but that he would have voted against it and he had supported women's and non-revenue sports in other ways. Oruch said he attended the boathouse dedication, an event he said none of the other candidates attended. Oruch admitted it took place during a snowstorm. However, he said he was still disappointed that the senators did not give the rowing team more support. Michael Gillespie, United Students vice-presidential candidate, said he and McGonigle did not attend because they were busy with other activities, like their campaign, and he thought everyone could understand that because everyone in the room was students. Kelly said as treasurer, it was his job to stay neutral during the vote. Wood and his running mate Eric Hyde are not current members of Student Senate.

Hjelmlstad used hands-only CPR to keep Goodall's blood circulating until paramedics arrived and took over. Standards change to hands-only CPR HEALTH ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — You can skip the mouth-to-mouth breathing and just press on the chest to save a life. In a major change, the American Heart Association said Monday that hands-only CPR — rapid, deep presses on the victim's chest until help arrives — works just as well as standard CPR for sudden cardiac arrest in adults. Experts hope bystanders will now be more willing to jump in and help if they see someone suddenly collapse. Hands-only CPR is simpler and easier to remember and removes a big barrier for people skittish about the mouth-to-mouth breathing. "You only have to do two things. Call 911 and push hard and fast on the middle of the person's chest," said Dr. Michael Sayre, an emergency medicine professor at Ohio State University who headed the committee that made the recommendation. Hands-only CPR calls for uninterrupted chest presses — 100 a minute — until paramedics take over or an automated external defibrillator is available to restore a normal heart rhythm. This action should be taken only for adults who unexpectedly collapse, stop breathing and are unresponsive. The odds are that the person is having cardiac arrest — the heart suddenly stops — which can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems. In such a case, the victim still has ample air in the lungs, and blood and compressions keep blood flowing to the brain, heart and other organs. nating 30 presses with two quick breaths; those "unable or unwilling" to do the breaths could do presses alone. Now the heart association has given equal standing to hands-only CPR. Those who have been trained in traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation can still opt to use it. A child who collapses is more likely to primarily have breathing problems — and in that case, mouth-to-mouth breathing should be used. That also applies to adults who suffer lack of oxygen from a near-drowning, drug overdose, or carbon monoxide poisoning. In these cases, people need mouth-to-mouth to get air into their lungs and bloodstream. The CPR guidelines had been inching toward compression-only. The last update, in 2005, put more emphasis on chest pushes by alter- But in either case, "Something is better than nothing." Said aave. Sayre said the association took the unusual step of making the changes now — the next update wasn't due until 2010 — because three studies last year showed hands-only was as good as traditional CPR. Hands-only will be added to CPR training. INTERNATIONAL Israeli projects urge peace talks with Rice ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS AMMAN, Jordan — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with top Israeli and Palestinian negotiators on Monday before heading for a final session with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Jordan as she wraps up a three-day mission intended to reinvigorate Mideast peace talks. Joe Biden peace talks were renewed. The U.S. has been urging Israel to halt construction in east Jerusalem and West Bank, areas claimed by the Palestinians. Israeli construction projects in the disputed areas have sparked a series of crises in the peace negotiations, prompting the Palestinians at one point to suspend negotiations. The trip came as Israel's Peace Now announced that the Defense Ministry has approved plans to build 946 homes in the West Bank since last November's peace summit in Annapolis, Md. In east Jerusalem, Peace Now said the government has given final approval for at least 750 homes in east Jerusalem since the "President Abbas told Rice this is the most dangerous obstacle to peace," said Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat about settlements. He said otherwise the meetings went "fine."

Look at The Kansan's March 10 article for more information. SAY BEFORE YOU PAY SYSTEM Austin Kelly, Lawrence junior and presidential candidate for ConnectKU, said student fees have gone up an average of $90 per semester since he came to the University. He said students should have a say in how much they pay in student fees. "Even asking students to vote one day a year is difficult," Kelly said. The say before you pay system puts any fee increase to a campuswide student vote, or referendum, before it can be implemented. A referendum can be on the same ballot as president and vice president candidates in April or Senate can be called specifically for a referendum. Kelly said he would try to stay away from a special referendum vote. Kelly said Senate would still increase fees for inflationary purposes without a student vote, but any fee increase due to an increase in services or new services would be put to student vote. Say before you pay has been a platform issue for candidates in the past. TWENTY PERCENT VOTER TURNOUT Last year's voter turnout was less than 15 percent of the student body, and it is ConnectKU's goal to increase that number. Kelly said he wanted to make voting more personal by using new techniques to get students interested. Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park senior and ConnectKU member, said the group will use Facebook press and also try to get as many students as possible to the coalitions Web site.

"I've had team members tell me other teams won't come play here because our fields are so poor," he said. with sports clubs to bring AstroTurf and lighting to the fields. He said the changes would probably take a student fee of a couple of dollars, which he would put to student vote with the say before you pay system. Kelly said he planned to work Jay Vaglio, Leawood junior and president of the KU lacrosse sport club, said the complex is dangerous to athletes playing on it. "It's like playing on concrete." Vaglio said. He said that ConnectKU approached the Athletics Department and said the teams were willing to pay to use Anschutz Field to play on, but the department wasn't interested. OFF-CAMPUS LIGHTING Oruch said there wasn't enough lighting around campus to create a safe environment for students. "Right when you get off campus you enter the black hole," Oruch M. A. BALAKRISHAN H e said ConnectKU envisioned lit pathways on common routes off-campus residents use to get home from Austin Kelly campus. He said the coalition would also use its hired Student Legislative Awareness Board to lobby the city to install more lighting. HATE CRIME PREVENTION Oruch wrote a resolution Jason Osuch against hate crimes last year after his Jewish fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, was vandalized.

STUDENTS OF LIBERTY ADAM WOOD & ERIC HYDE Last week Adam Wood, Lawrence junior and Students of Liberty presidential candidate, announced that he and Eric Hyde, Lawrence sophomore and vice presidential candidate, decided not to accept pay for the positions if they get elected. The student body president and vice-president normally receive tuition sponsorship and $320 every two weeks. Hyde said he spoke with a state politician who said many get into the business just for the money, but that wasn't their purpose. "We just want to make it clear that we're here to get things done," Wood said. Wood said he wanted to go through Senate's budget and do an audit to see where all the money was going. He said he didn't want to cut programs but make spending more efficient. REEVALUATING STUDENT FEES NO SPECIAL INTEREST CONTROL OF SENATE Wood said he wanted to eliminate gifts from outside organizations to Student Senate. He cited an example where 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. He said these gifts compromised the integrity of Senate and made it appear biased. RECLASSIFICATION OF MOPEDS NOT FUNDING GROUPS NOT OPEN TO ALL STU- Wood said he wanted to encourage environmentalism by classifying mopeds as bikes so they would not require parking permits. Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said any change in moped classification would have to go through the Parking Commission, a group of students, faculty and staff who vote on regulation changes. She said a moped pass cost $25, or $15 for someone who already had a parking pass. DENTS Wood said students shouldn't pay $80 per year to the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee if all students couldn't benefit. PROHIBIT TESTS AND PROJECTS AFTER BREAKS Wood said students with large workloads needed to rest during break rather than worry about projects and tests. Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said changes in testing policy would go through University Governance, where faculty, staff and students vote on policies. 1087406239 Adam Wood STUDENT HOUSING STUDENT HOUSING Wood said he wanted to negotiate with Student Housing to give students more protection against unreasonable searches and give students opportunities to stay in residence halls during spring break.

After dealing with such stressful midterms and projects from my majors and minors, I was hoping to catch a moment of relief from all of the work I had done. I planned to get some much-needed break from journalism, the French language and the history of the Second World War. I honestly felt that myself and the rest of the student body deserved a longer spring break. Why not start Wednesday or Thursday, after the break, just like the Thursday that starts a new semester. It's a better transition back into school. Those extra days could be used for rest and preparing for the rest of the semester, much like students do when they move back in town, buy their books and get mentally prepared after the summer ends, and they have to start the new semester. Monday is too abrupt. Walking up and down Wescoe beach, students are still recovering from jetlag, hangovers or from the stress of trying to keep up with the studies that have been assigned to them. Monday can be a blaring annoyance when you come back from break. "Welcome back students, you have a critical book review, a French cultural project, or make-up tests due this Friday," says the professor on Monday when students are still trying to recover. I consider myself a well-behaved student but when I hear something like that, I want to throw the French book at the teacher. I restrain myself. Students leave that prespring break Friday amped-up with excitement to get out of school. They hope to have fun and relax from the stress of school. For those who have to work over the break, they deserve a good rest just as any other student who parties, drinks, mingles and lets go of all their troubles and worries. I think a week of fun is much deserved for college students, and I think a few days rest after is deserved as well and not too much too ask. The funny thing is I didn't even do anything this spring break but work and try to relax in the meantime. I worked five days a week, and I would have worked a six if it had not have been for Easter Sunday. I feel I barely got a break. I feel cheated. Here I did all this hard work for midterms, and I don't even feel an ounce of rejuvenation going into the rest of the spring semester. I'm exhausted but I guess I will have to muster the strength to finish this semester on a high note, because a few days off maybe asking too much. I didn't even go party that much like many of you college students, and I felt completely unprepared for school starting Monday. I know my plea will fall on deaf ears but I feel a longer spring break is well deserved.

COMMENTARY Could grass be greener on the virtual side? CHECK IT OUT. I Bought A HOUSE. WOW WHAT'D THAT RUN YOU? 300 GOLD! PRETTY CHEAP! WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SAMETHING ARE WE? BEN COHEN I do love spending time writing goofy messages on my friends' Facebook walls, as opposed to actually calling them and seeing if they want to hang out, or having long conversations on Instant Messenger with people I see all the time. It is fun, and a good way to stay sane while working on 10-page research papers. Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) once called the internet a "series of tubes," one which one cannot "dump something on." To others, it is "serious business." To a select few others, it is something they invented. For the record, these select few others might be Al Gore. To me, it is both my favorite research tool and the all-time great distraction. Databases like JStor have saved my life on multiple occasions since I started college, with its endless articles from academic publications that I never knew existed. Of course, I've also found myself devoting unnecessary amounts of time to things like Facebook, fantasy football and animals with funny quotes. Who knew that walruses love buckets so much? A guest lecturer who spoke to my class insisted that "Second Life" was not a game, but rather an actual world like the one we live in now. He challenged us to explain how this was not true. Even though I held my tongue in class, it was tempting to mention how people in this "First Life" cannot fly, teleport or buy private islands for $50. It didn't help that the lecturer showed us his avatar, which, in case you are a lame First Lifer like me, is a representation of the player. The What worries me about the Internet is how attached people can get to what it brings them. Last semester, I had a class all about emerging forms of media, which I quickly discovered was code for "popular social networking sites." We had a brief unit on a program called "Second Life." Being at least somewhat familiar with the concept of the MMORPG (massive multi-player role-playing game), I was not all that impressed with what amounted to World of Warcraft with low cave trolls and more CNN clips. Still, First Life aka "the real world," or that scary place on the other side of the foyer" offers things that aren't worth skipping out on for pixels and a fake life. Like the sun, for instance. Or better yet, real people. They may not be talking foxes, but they still tend to be pretty interesting. On a side note, if you are starting to hear foxes talk to you in real life, please seek help. Or turn off the computer, because it's starting to take over you. avatar was well dressed and had good posture, but it also happened to be an anthropomorphized fox. Call me old-fashioned, but I have a hard time calling a program that only exists in glowing boxes where people can transform into well-groomed forest animals a "real" world. He also told the class that Second Life has its own economy, and you can spend real First Life money. By this logic, any Web site that uses PayPal is taking the first step toward being its own reality. I don't have anything against the existence of sites and programs like Second Life. What's disturbing is the idea that some people see them as a replacement for real life. On the Internet people tend to portray themselves as better looking, more intelligent and, evidently, fox-like, but all of that can easily be ruined by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard.

The last time it happened (2003) I was still in school, and I remember it all to well. In 2003, we headed down to Massachusetts Street after the game to see cars bumper to bumper up and down the street. People young and old were hanging out of sun roofs screaming "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" as well as honking their horns. It was an amazing sight seeing all the people come together to celebrate the victory. I'm sure the same thing occurred Sunday night after this year's team clinched a spot in the Final Four and that's great! This morning, though, I was down on Massachusetts Street and saw the aftermath of last night's celebrations. The street was littered with cups from seventh all the way up to eleventh. It was a trashy site to say the least. It's a shame that some feel entitled to leave their trash for others to pick up because of the outcome of a basketball game. This is the University of Kansas folks, and we've been successful at basketball for a long time let's act like it! We can still celebrate and have a good time, just pick up your mess. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU!!! I'm looking forward to the game on Saturday as well as going down to Mass. to see the turnout. It'll be a sight. Let's do better next time and throw stuff in the trash cans when we are done with it, not on the sidewalks, or in the streets or in the gutters.

The image is a black and white photograph of a smiling man seated in an office setting. He appears to be middle-aged with light-colored hair, wearing a light-colored shirt and a dark tie. The background includes bookshelves filled with books, suggesting an academic or professional environment. There are no visible texts or distinctive features that provide additional context. Kristin Honda/KANSAN Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute of Politics, settles back into his office Monday after taking a leave of absence to head former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson's exploratory presidential campaign. Lacy said he was glad to be back and missed the interaction with students the most. Bill Lacy, former Fred Thompson campaign manager, returned to the University of Kansas Monday to resume his job as director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Lacy said that he had offers to continue his career in Washington, but was eager to get back to the University. "KU is the best job in my career," Lacy said. "I was reluctant to leave it in the first place." Lacy said he brought back two valuable lessons for KU students: up-to-date political readiness, and an example of service to country. But the most important thing Lacy said he brought back were contacts. Lacy said students can look forward to new guest speakers as a result of his journey on the campaign trail. "We want to give students a real opportunity to interact with people actually doing things in politics," Lacy said. Lacy left Jonathan Earle, Dole Institute associate director for programming, in charge during his leave. Lacy said he really appreciated Earle keeping the Dole Institute on track and adding to the programming. "I had a lot of fun running this place, but I'm glad Bill is back," Earle said, adding that he is more of a history guru than a politics person like Lacy. "Jonathan really stayed true to our original vision of the Institute," Lacy said. When asked about Thompson's loss of the Republican nomination, Lacy compared the campaign to being thrown into the NCAA playoffs without playing any preseason games. "We were up against teams like Clinton and Obama who had much more time to practice" Lacy, who also ran Thompson's 1994 senatorial campaign, said they had to accomplish in five months what they had done in a year during his previous campaign. "And I'm not as young as I used to be," Lacy added. Lacy took a month vacation with his wife before returning to the Dole Institute. "I was a zombie when that campaig was over," Lacy said. He said he only had 10 days out of the office during the presidential run. "I didn't have time to do things like ride my bike or eat right," Lacy said. "That takes a toll on your body." Before agreeing to work on Thompson's campaign, Lacy had been out of politics for 11 years. He came to the Dole Institute in 2004 and didn't want to leave until Bob Dole said it would be good for lecture info What: 'An Evening with Bill Lacy' When: Tonight at 7:30 p.m. Who: Open to the Public Where: The Dole Institute of Politics the Dole Institute. "Fred called in the middle of the time trials for the Tour de France," Lacy said. "I let him leave a message." Lacy said that he and Dole decided that if he did not take the job in Washington, he would be going against the message of the Dole Institute: to set an example of service in politics. hidden. Once there, they removed items from the vehicle. —Edited by Mandy Earles SUSPECTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) She also said she did not know Mug was going to steal the vehicle when she dropped him off in Kansas City, Mo. According to the statement, a witness said Haygood told her that after Epps took the vehicle, Haygood followed him back to Kansas City, Kan., to dispose of the vehicle. The witness said she saw Haygood steal McDowel's laptop and CDs out of his vehicle. The witness also said Haygood told her that she had a gun during the robbery. The witness said that Epps had told her multiple times that he had shot McDowel in the leg but that he did not mean to kill him. The witness said Epps told her McDowel's vehicle needed to be burned because he had shot McDowel. Terry Riley, a family friend of McDowell's and a member of the Kansas City, Mo., City Council, said McDowel's death was a shock to everyone who knew McDowel. "Why would you have to kill someone to take their car?" Riley said. "You can look at this a thousand different ways and you still say, 'Why?' Why did it have to happen like this?" Riley said the people suspected of murdering McDowel didn't understand that McDowel's family, as well as the suspects' families, will suffer because of their actions. "This is a cycle and it needs to be broken and there are answers to everything out here other than violence," Riley said. Riley said he was unsure why McDowel transferred from the University to UMKC, but said it was probably for financial reasons. He said McDowel's parents lived in Kansas City, Mo., and because of it McDowel had to pay out-of-state tuition to attend the University of Kansas. Riley said McDowel was supposed to graduate with a master's degree from UMKC in May and had plans to attend law school next fall. Riley said his wife and McDowel's mother were friends and he and McDowel were members of the same fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, at UMKC though they did not attend the college at the same time. McDowel's funeral was held Saturday. A prayer vigil originally scheduled at the scene of the crime has been post-poned at the McDowel family's request.

The cried with him after tough losses in the NCAA Tournament. He was their coach. When he left for North Carolina in 2003, it all changed. He became a traitor. Now fans get their dream match-up, Kansas and North Carolina, with a spot in the national championship game on the line. "This is probably the Bill Self wished for, waited for ever since the day Roy signed with North Carolina," senior guard Russell Robinson said. "Here it is coming up in about a week and it feels good to be a part of it." RobinsonnevergotrecruitedbyWilliams, who left to coach the Tar Heels after leading the Jayhawks to the national title game in 2003. Darnell Jackson only knows Williams from when Williams recruited his friend, J.R. Giddens, Jeremy Case, a redshirt senior, is the only player on the roster who Williams recruited. ried Robinson when he was watching their Elite Eight game Saturday. "This is probably the game Kansas fans wished for, waited for ever since the day Roy signed with North Carolina." RUSSELL ROBINSON Senior guard "I kind of stopped watching the North Carolina game because I got a little nervous," Robinson said. "Just being a fan, know- Case has no hard feelings. In fact, the players and Kansas coach Bill Self could care less about facing Williams. They're fast. They're experienced. They're good - so good that they wor- "There'll be a lot of talk about nothing," Self said. "Our fans should not be pulling for Roy this weekend, but they should be proud and happy he was at the helm for 15 years because he did a remarkable job." The Jayhawk are rightfully more worried about Carolina's players than its coach. The Tar Heels are the overall No. 1 seed in the tournament. Tyler Hansbrough, a national player of the year candidate, scored 28 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the Heels' Elite Eight game. Tywon Lawson is one of the best point guards in the country. He runs an offense that averages 89.2 points a game. Danny Green and Wayne Ellington are two of Carolina's other top players. kind of stopped the North na game, because I got the nervous," Robinson just being a fan, knowing Louisville was playing really well, I was like, 'Whoa I don't want to watch this' It's going to be a challenge." It should also be fun. The final score's not going to be in the 50s like the Davidson game. Kings will probably run, and the Tar Heels almost certainly will. "I've watched a lot of their games," Case said, "and they can score like no one. They're the best right now. It's going to be a fast-paced game. It's going to go down to whoever gets the stops." Roy Williams Edited by Sasha Roe And the players are the ones who will decide that. Not the coaches. "Roy or myself," Self said, "we're not going to make one shot or even get any up on Saturday so we need to focus in on their players." >> COMMENTARY Defensive focus leads basketball team to Roy BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Maybe Bill Self has been walking under ladders or crossing paths with black cats. In spite of the blessings he has brought Kansas basketball, the coach seems cursed. In Self's first season at Kansas, Georgia Tech halted the Jayhawks' trip to the NCAA tourney in the Elite Eight. For the next two years, Self fielded talented teams that faltered in the tournament's first round, prompting harsh criticism from the Kansas faithful. Last season, Self's Jayhawks suffered injustice at the hands of the NCAA when they drew an Elite Eight matchup against UCLA — in California. Self may have spent Sunday shedding the stigma of "best coach never to make a Final Four", but his fortunes haven't swayed completely. Bad Luck Bill will be faced with another undeserved hurdle in the days leading up to Kansas' clash with North Carolina: the media and fans' focus on Roy Williams. Williams left an indefible mark on Jayhawk basketball in his 15 seasons at the helm. His Kansas teams won 80 percent of the time. Williams made four trips to the Final Four and played in the national championship game twice. Ten Williams-coached players took their skills from Allen Fieldhouse to the first round of the NBA Draft. And then Roy Williams bolted. He headed back to his alma mater and brought a national title to North Carolina within two years of his arrival. It stung Kansas fans when Williams left, and his success merely tossed salt into the wide-open wound. That recent history makes for a sexy setup come Saturday night: Roy versus Kansas basketball, a man fighting the powerhouse program he helped build. MIS But there's another story line lurking, and it's more heartwarming. It's not about Freshman third baseman Tony Thompson looks behind first base for the overthrown ball by the Benedictine College catcher Wednesday. The Jayhawks lost all three games against Texas A&M this weekend. The Jayhawks remain hopeful as they face Wichita State tonight at Houlford Ballpark. revenge and it's not about hatred. It's about toughness and heart. It's the story of Self. During his first four seasons at Kansas, a lineup's worth of discontented Jayhawks transferred to other schools. David Padgett left and blossomed into a star at Louisville. J.R. Giddens transferred to New Mexico and transformed from shooter to standout, winning the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year Award in 2008. Nick Bahe and Alex Galino departed for starting positions at Creighton and Florida International, respectively. C.J. Giles took his lanky frame and (still) untapped potential to Oregon State, and Micah Downs headed west for Gonzaga. Despite the heavy roster turnover, Self has reeled in victories at a school-record pace (81 percent) and reached the Elite Eight three times. He convinced McDonald's All-Americans such as Sherron Collins, Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers to become Jayhawks. More importantly, he coaxed junior guard Brandon Rush out of his offensive shell and persuaded a team full of stars to buy into an unselfish, defense-first style of play that has held opponents to 38 percent field goal shooting. Don't like the Self story line? Try these on for size: Russell Robinson's transformation from a discontented freshman to senior leader and shutdown defender. Darnell Jackson's struggle through numerous personal tragedies, and the inspiring conviction he brings to the basketball court. The long, hard road Rodrick Stewart has taken from USC to riding the Kansas bench to becoming a contributor on a Final Four team. Edited by Katherine Loeck Weston White/KANSAN It was Self's deft defensive maneuvering that helped Kansas hold Davidson star Stephen Curry to 4-for-13 shooting in Sunday's second half. Self instructed his team to step out of its man-to-man defense and into a box-and-one zone. Sure, the "revenge against Roy" story line is compelling, and Kansas fans can't be blamed for harboring a bit of animosity. But it only takes one look at the Jayhawk roster and everything Bill Self has accomplished to see that there are plenty of other stories surrounding this Kansas team. BASEBALL Jayhawks need a boost after Texas's sweep Kansas takes on Wichita State in hopes of getting back on track BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com Fresh off from being swept at home in three games for the first time since 2005, Kansas finds itself just as desperate for a boost in confidence as it is for a victory. However, the Jayhawks' opponent tonight has offered little assistance in either category lately. No. 12 Wichita State (20-3) comes to town for tonight's 7 p.m. grudge match, bringing a 17-game winning streak with it. The Shockers have also won three straight against the Jayhawks by a combined score of 24-4. Under coach Ritch Price, Kansas (18-12) has its work cut out for it to get back on the winning track, and inch closer to .500 against Wichita State. "We were dead .500 with them until last year, then they beat us twice last year", Price, who is 5-7 all-time against Wichita State, said. "Usually they walk in here and pitch one of their best guys because of the difference in the leagues that we play in." "It's a great rivalry and it's one of those games where we've got to find a way to win." Price is alluding to the fact that the Shockers haven't exactly been playing a tiptop competition. Wichita State has beaten North Dakota State (6-11), Binghamton (7-15), Illinois State (9-13), Harvard (1-16) and also has 12 strikeouts to five walks and has surrendered two home runs. Even if the Jayhawks can knock Kelley around, they'll have to find a way to contain a Shocker offense that's averaging nearly eight runs a game. As of Monday, Kansas hadn't announced who its starter would be. Price previously planned on senior right-hander Andres Esquibel pitching tonight, but Esquibel pitched six innings of relief during the weekend, so he may no longer be an option. "Any game against Wichita State is going to be heated and if you can't get up for that game, then I don't know what you can get up for." ERIK MORRISON Shortstop Le Moyne (9-14) for 13 of its 17 consecutive victories. Based off Wichita statistics, the Jayhawks won't see any of the Shockers aces to start tonight's game. Wichita State's probable pitcher tonight is right-hander Tim Kelley (2-1). Kelley has started all four games he's appeared this year in and, in 17 innings pitched, has a 5.29 ERA. He Seven of Wichita State's eight players with at least 60 at-bats this season are batting over .300 with on-base percentages over .400. Third baseman Conor Gillaspie leads the Shockers with a .435 average and .485 on-base percentage while shortstop Dusty Coleman leads the team with five home runs and 32 RBI. Kansas' offense wasn't the problem during its weekend loss at the hands of Texas A&M. The Jayhawks scored 20 runs in the series and have scored at least six runs their last seven games. However, Kansas also needs senior shortstop Erik Morrison to step up on offense. Morrison entered Sunday in a 3-for-26 slump, but he may have snapped out of it in the series finale. Against the Aggies Sunday, Morrison went 2-for-4 with a run and RBI. Senior left fielder John Allman continues to be Mr. Consistency for the Jayhawks, upping his average to .384 with a 5-for-9 weekend, including four RBI and three runs. Senior right fielder Ryne Price leads Kansas with six home runs and 35 RBI. Despite the disappointing weekend, Morrison doesn't expect his teammates to experience any leddon tonight in a midweek game of this magnitude. "Any game against Wichita State is going to be heated and if you can't get up for that game, then I don't know what you can get up for," Morrison said. 1 Edited by Mandy Earles A 1 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 2008 trivia of the dav Q: Only three freshman have ever been named NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

ASSOCIATED PRES MLB Royals make comeback against Tigers The fans were in a good mood until Detroit's ace got into trouble. ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — The $138 million Tigers opened with a thud. Tony Pena Jr. hit a two-out, tiebreaking single in the 11th inning and the Kansas City Royals held on to beat Detroit 5-4 in Monday's opener. Verlander didn't give up a hit for 3 2-3 innings in his first opening-day start, but finished with a shaky line: four runs, four hits and six strikeouts over 6-plus innings. The big-spenders had a shot at a dramatic win with Clete Thomas on third base with only one out, but Edgar Renteria struck out and the game ended when third baseman Alex Gordon snared Placido Polanco's grounder in the hole and threw him out. Miguel Cabrera hit a homer in his Detroit debut, helping the home team go ahead 3-0 through five innings, but Justin Verlander had a lackluster start. After trailing 3-0, Gordon hit a two-run home run in the sixth and the Royals, with a $57 million payroll, scored two more while facing four pitchers in the seventh. Leo Nunez threw two hitless innings and Joakim Soria pitched the 11th for the save. The game drew a Comerica Park record crowd of 44,934,breaking the mark set in last year's opener thanks in part to 778 new seats. Denny Bautista was an out away from pitching two scoreless innings, but Pena's single to center brought home John Buck soon after backup center fielder Brandon Inge threw out Mark Teahen trying to score on a single. Carlos Guillen helped send the game into extra innings with a solo shot in the eighth. Verlander was replaced after he gave up a leadoff walk and a single in the seventh, choosing to go with reliever Jason Grilli. ROWING Team starts season slow against seasoned Texas ROWING The Kansas rowing team competed in its first official spring regatta Saturday morning at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. The Jayhawks and Longhorns met in six different races, featuring three novice teams and three varsity teams. Though the Longhorns came out on top in all six races, Kansas coach Rob Catloth was not discouraged. "It was our first race," Catloth said. "We finally got one under our belt and we raced pretty well. There are a few things we need to improve on, but that will come with time and experience." While the race was Kansas' first of the spring, Texas had already competed in regattas such as the Fighting Nutria 2008, the Longhorn Invitational and the Heart of Texas. All these races were held in Austin, Texas, and gave Texas valuable experience evident against Kansas. Kansas' first and second varsity eight boats timed 7:01 and 7:17, respectively, compared to Texas' 6:50 and 7:02. Kansas' varsity four boat came within seconds of besting Texas, finishing at 7:52 with Texas at 7:49. The three novice boats raced as well, with the second novice eight going down to Texas' by 1.8 seconds, the closest race of the day. "Our fitness looks pretty good and we had good intensity for our first race," Catloth said. Catloth will look for improvement when they race on April 14 against Kansas State in Kansas City, Kan. It stands as the only home regatta of the year for the Kansas rowing team.

KANSAS RELAYS SINCE 1931 KU APRIL 16-19, 2008 7 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 2008 SPORTS BASEBALL 3B Players display power at the plate RY TYLER PASSMORE BY TYLER PASSMORE If there was any question whether the Jayhawks could score runs this year, Kansas has answered its critics with a resounding "yes." The Kansas baseball team faced No. 2 Texas A&M last weekend and went blow for blow with this offensive powerhouse. Although Kansas was swept, it was in large part because of its pitching inadequacies. The Jayhawk batters delivered runs in flurries. Being the victims of defensive big innings, the Hawks' high-octane attack was ignited by an array of players. Leading the pack for the Jayhawks has been senior left fielder John Allman, who has ascended his batting average to .388 with 27 RBIs and two long balls. The rest of the team is also making the Jayhawks a force to be reckoned with from the batters box. Junior first baseman Preston Land has been on fire as of late and has raised his batting average to .283 this season. While his batting average has been climbing, so has the quality of his plate appearances. With patience being a virtue, Land has used his three years to become a disciplined hitter and reinstated himself as someone the Big 12 should label a concern. NBA Western conference heats up late in the season Familiar faces complete Coinciding with Land's recent success is highly recruited freshman third basemen Tony Thompson. Thompson had two hits in the first two games of the Aggies' series and has proved he can swing the lumber against some of the Big 12's finest. The surging San Antonio Spurs and surprising New Orleans Hornets are in a virtual tie at the top of the Western Conference. At the other end of the West playoff race, the Nuggets, Warriors and Mavericks are even. Familiar faces complete the core of the 2008 Jayhawk offensive stars. As they have done throughout their successful years at Kansas, junior center fielder Nick Faunce, junior catcher Buck Afenir, senior right fielder Ryne Price and senior shortstop Erik Morrison complete the heart of the Jayhawks' order. The ability to score runs in bunches is something this team has benefited from this year. Going into Big 12 play, the Jayhawks will have to go against other strong offensive teams and remain consistent in trying to win slugfests. The Big 12 Conference is the best it has been in recent history and arguably the best in the nation this year. Having all the ingredients in the mix, the Jayhawks may be a contender to go on a run in the Big 12 Tournament because of their offensive savvy. The Hornets reached 50 victories for the first time since 1997- 98 by beating the Toronto Raptors 118-111, behind 32 points from With players starting to catch fire and veteran hitters gracing their presence, my bet would be to go all in. The Spurs (51-23) have won seven straight and are percentage points behind New Orleans (50-22) at the top of both the Southwest Division and the West However, to be a contender, consistency will continue to be the key. While I have never been a betting man, my money is on the Jayhawks' ability in continuing to hit. The defending champion Spurs turned a much-hyped matchup with the Houston Rockets in San Antonio into a rout Sunday, as Tony Parker and Michael Finley scored 22 points in a 109-88 victory. Edited by Sasha Roe David West. "It's huge for us." West said of reaching 50. "I don't know if many people expected us to be where we are. We feel good about it but we're not settling for just 50. We're trying to win the West, trying to seal up the Southwest division. We're going to have to continue to play at a high level." In Oakland, Calif., Monta Ellis scored 30 points and Kelenna Azubuike hit two clutch shots down the stretch to help Golden State beat the Mavericks 114-104 and create a three-way tie with Dallas and Denver for seventh place in the Western Conference In other NBA games, Minnesota 110, Utah 103; Atlanta 114, New York 109; Boston 88, Miami 62; Cleveland 91, Philadelphia 88; Sacramento 120, Seattle 107; and the L.A.

"Definitely experience has to do with it," coach Erin O'Neil said, "but our freshmen and sophomores have competitive backgrounds." With the Big 12 Tournament looming, O'Neil understands what needs to be fixed before the team goes out to its final tournament of the regular season, the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic in Norman, Okla., April 6-8. "We need to focus on our short game," O'Neill said, "and to just be confident and to stay in the moment." For these jayhawks, that might be the best way to regain the momentum they picked up earlier this year, finishing as high as third place in Fresno, Calif. "We played at this course before, last year," sophomore Emily Powers said, trying to explain the team's performance in Tusco. "So for those who leaders of these Jayhawks, finishing in either first or second on the team in each tournament played this season. played on it last year, thought about that and not this tournament." "We all go out there and try to play our best scores. It doesn't matter who finishes first or second on this team." Powers has been one of the young EMILY POWERS Sophomore golfer "We all go out there and try to play our best scores," Powers said. "It doesn't matter who finishes first or second on this team." the final day and had 23 puts. "She earned during that final round." O'Neil said. After Powers though, only one other Jayhawk finished in the top 50 — freshmen Meghna Bal tied for 43rd place with a score of 228. Senior Annie Giangrosso finished in 51st place with a score of 230. Sophomore Meghan Gockel tied for 67th with a score of 234 and freshmen Grace Thiry tied for 76th with a score of 237. Even with two consecutive disappointing showings, O'Neil remains confident that the team will regain the form that the Jayhawks showed earlier this year. "We can't worry about what's behind us or what's in front us," O'Neil said, "but just concentrate on the present." Edited by Katherine Loeck JUNIOR GOLF CONTRIBUTED PHOTO >> MLB WRIGLEY FIELD HOME OF CHICAGO CUBS 100 NEXT YEARS Emily Powers plays in the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational in Manhattan in October 2007. Powers and the Jayhawks finished 11th in the Tuscon, Ariz., Mountain View Collegiate last weekend. Chicago Cubs fan Visorel Kamen holds a sign referring to the 100-year drought of Cubs World series victories before a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers Monday in Chicago. Baseball season opens to soggy start ASSOCIATED PRESS Opening day — version No. 3 was a soggy affair for much of the country. Yankee Stadium's 84th and final home opener was rained out Monday, as was the Cardinals' opener in St. Louis. ASSOCIATED PRESS There were a pair of delays at Wrigley Field as the Chicago Cubs began their 100th season since winning the World Series the same way so many of their seasons have ended — with a loss. But there was plenty of baseball, too, with Joe Torre winning his first game as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Johan Santana getting the victory in his debut with the New York Mets. "I called several of my players my former players. I should say "The guys I've been with. I basically called and wished them luck," Torre said. "They meant a lot to me. We had a great relationship." In the NL, Milwaukee beat the Cubs 4-3 in 11 innings, Los Angeles defeated visiting San Francisco 5-0, the Mets won 7-2 at Florida, Arizona won 4-2 at Cincinnati and Washington won 11-6 at Philadelphia. Detroit's $138 million Tigers opened with a thud, losing 5-4 to visiting Kansas City in 11 innings, while Tampa Bay won 6-2 at Baltimore. In later AL games, Texas was at Seattle and the Los Angeles Angels was at Minnesota. Later, Pittsburgh was at Atlanta and Houston at San Diego. The World Series champion Boston Red Sox and Oakland officially began the season last week when they split a two-game series in Tokyo. And in the first game at Nationals Park, Washington defeated Atlanta on Sunday night. But the other 26 teams were scheduled to get under way Monday. With baseball now starting in March some years and the World Series threatening to stretch in November, weather increasingly factors into the start and finish. In the Bronx, the tarp was still on the field when New York's game against Toronto was called after a wait of approximately 85 minutes. Players never got introduced, and Girardi's debut as Yankees manager was postponed. "You want to get the first one in," Alex Rodriguez said. "Just have to wait." St. Louis led NL champion Colorado 5-1 in the third inning behind an Albert Pujols homer when its game was stopped, then called after a 1:39 wait. The Blue Jays and Yankees, and Rockies and Cardinals will play makeups Tuesday night. At Wrigley Field, Tony Gwynn hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning for Milwaukee. Kosuke Fukudome went three-for-three, hitting a tying, three-run homer in the ninth off winner Eric Gagne, but it wasn't enough for the Cubs, who haven't even reached the World Series since 1945. Because of the 100th anniversary, even more attention has been focused on the Cubs' travails. "How do I view it? ... It's not something I came up with, believe me," manager Lou Piniella said before the game. "It seems improbable. I mean a long time." Santana struck out eight and allowed three hits in seven dominant innings, David Wright hit a three-run double and New York opened its season with a 7-2 win. If only the Mets had Santana last September, when they blew a seven-game lead in the NL East with 17 games left. The collapse became complete when the Marlins scored seven times off Tom Glavine in the first inning on the season's final day. starts. Santana was traded to the Mets from Minnesota this winter and wound up signing a $137.5 million, six-year contract with New York. Pitching against the team he followed as a youth, the northern Kentucky native finally won an opener with a six-strikeout performance. More than two dozen relatives and friends found a way to get tickets for the sold-out game in Cincinnati. Arizona's Brandon Webb allowed three hits and a pair of runs in six innings. He hadn't gotten a victory in his two previous opening-day "We had a lot of people, but I think half of them were from Webb's hometown." Dusty Baker said after his debut as Cincinnati's manager. "He pitched an outstanding game against us. That's not the outcome you want to have." At Philadelphia, Nick Johnson's tiebreading RBI double off Tom Gordon highlighted a five-run ninth inning. Gordon has a 135.00 ERA. "It wasn't my day," Gordon said. "You definitely don't want to start that way."

LECTURE Journalist Lisa Ling to speak at Lied Center BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com Lisa Ling, who has been correspondent with "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and 10 National Geographic's "Explorer," will visit the University of Kansas Thursday night to speak about her experiences as a journalist. Ling has covered some of the world's most harrowing stories, including issues ranging from bride burning in India to the civil war in Uganda to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Ling She is also known for her turn as a co-host on "The View" from 1999 to 2002. Ling's lecture will take place at 7 p.m. at the Lied Center. It is part of the annual Spring Student Lecture Series, sponsored by Student Union Activities, Student Senate, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and the Lied Center of Kansas. Brittani Wilton, Buffalo Grove, Ill., Junior, and coordinator of the SUA social issues committee, said the series was usually SUAs largest speaking event of the year. "We try to bring hot topics or prominent figures that students might not get to see otherwise." Wilton said. Briana Saunders, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, junior, and member of the SUAs social issues committee, said Ling's experience covering stories from places like Cambodia and Darfur made her a good fit for the lecture series.

ODD NEWS Woman mistakes police for drug dealer LAKE CHARLES, La. — Police officers suspected that a car they had pulled over was stolen, so they called the registered owner and left a message. But when the owner called back, officers say, she apparently thought the message was from a drug dealer, and she was busted for allegedly trying to buy crack cocaine. "Officers put in a lot of energy to close a case, so we never mind getting one on sheer luck and stupidity." Lake Charles police Sgt. Mark Kraus said of last week's arrest. He said officers Hope Kingery and George Miller stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation and the driver could not produce identification or a valid license. While waiting to hear from the owner, they determined the vehicle wasn't stolen and allowed the driver to leave, Kraus said. About an hour later, Miller got a call on his cell phone from the apparent owner of the car"who stated that she would like to buy $150 in crack," Kraus said. Associated Press ODD NEWS Lack of citation leads to plagiarized honor code SAN ANTONIO — Their goal was an honor code that discouraged cheating and plaquizing. However, the wording in a draft by students at the University of Texas at San Antonio appears to match another school's code — without proper attribution. "That's the consequence of the Internet and the availability of things," said Daniel Wueste, director of the Rutland Institute for Ethics at Clemson University. "It doesn't feel like what would be in a book. You Google it and here it comes." The student currently in charge of the honor code project said it was an oversight, but cheating experts say it illustrates a sloppiness among Internet-era students who don't know how to cite sources properly and think of their computers as cut-and-paste machines. Student Akshay Thusu said that when he took over the project a month ago he inherited a draft by earlier project participants, including a group of students who attended a conference five years ago put on by The Center for Academic Integrity at Clemson. Materials from the conference, which are used by many universities, were probably the main source of UTSA's proposed code, Thusu said. That's why parts of the Texas draft match word-for-word the online version of Brigham Young University's code That will change, said Thusu, who plans to include proper citation and attribution when the draft is submitted to the faculty senate. "We don't want to have an honor code that is stolen," Thusu said. BYU credited the Center for Academic Integrity, but the San Antonio draft doesn't. Rep. pushes for mental health plan after robbery EAST ST. LOUIS, III. — A 77-year-old Illinois state representative is happy to be alive after a man with a gun pushed his way into her home and robbed her of $7. Younge said she thought her son had knocked on her door and opened it, but instead found an armed man. He told her to get on her hands and knees, then grabbed her purse and ran. Wyvetter H. Younge was not injured in the robbery that occurred around noon Friday. Younge, a Democrat, said she didn't recognize the man, who wore a red hat and red jacket and dark pants. She said she's going to pray for him. "This robbery and what's happening to this community is the result of a lack of a supportive system for our youth. We need jobs," she said. "This happened in broad daylight at noon. We need a mental health support system. This is further evidence of that." Illinois State Police are investigating. Bounced check leads man to commit bank robbery SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Authorities say a man robbed a bank in South Carolina after the $173 check he tried to cash bounced. Police say the man gave a teller the personal check on Monday morning, but the teller couldn't cash it because there wasn't enough money in the account. Authorities say the man told the teller he had to have the cash or someone was going to kill him. Police say the teller gave the man some money and he ran away.

Bowen told police he had been drinking with buddies at a Muncie bar until about 3 a.m. Thursday. Associated Press PENNY SMITH ASSOCIATED PRESS FBI Special Agent Robbie Burroughs looks at the date on the parachute found in North Clark County, Wash., on Tuesday, March 25, in Seattle. The FBI is working to find out if it is linked to the infamous D.B. Cooper case from 1971. Chute not linked to 1971 skyjacking ASSOCIATED PRESS VANCOUVER, Wash. — A recently discovered parachute could not have been used by D.B. Cooper in 1971, says the man who packed the four chutes that were given to the mysterious skyjacker. The torn, tangled parachute — found about a month ago by children along a dirt road near Amboy — was probably made around 1945, said Earl Cossey, who examined the chute for the FBI on Friday. The FBI said the matter remained under investigation. A man who had given his name as Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient flight from Portland, Ore., to Seattle in November 1971, claiming he had a bomb. After the plane landed at Seattle, he released the passengers in exchange for $200,000 and four parachutes and asked to be flown to Mexico. He then bailed out of the jet as it flew somewhere near the Oregon line. Some of the money given to him was found in 1980 along the Columbia River, but the fate of Cooper remains unknown. Many think he could not have survived the jump. Cossey, who sold parachutes at a skydiving operation in Issaqah in the 1970s, had provided the chutes that the FBI gave Cooper. He told The Columbian of Vancouver that the newly found chute "absolutely, for sure" could not have been one of the four that he provided. "The D.B. Cooper parachute was made of nylon," he said. "This 1945 parachute was made of silk." FBI agent Roberta Burroughs in Seattle said Monday that agents had not ruled out the possibility that the chute was from Cooper. "We haven't made a determination one way or the other yet," Burroughs said. "We're still in the process of finishing up what investigative steps we think are necessary to feel certain about calling it one way or the other." The FBI had launched a publicity campaign last fall, hoping to generate new tips to solve the 36-year-old mystery. --- 41 4 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 2008 NEWS LAWRENCE 3A City commission elects Dever as mayor Chestnut elected vice mayor; pair names balancing 2009 budget as key focus JAMES R. SMITH Michael Dever, left, will serve as the new mayor of Lawrence, after the city commission unanimously chose him for the position Tuesday. He will serve with Robert Chestnut, right, who was elected as vice mayor. They will hold their positions for a year. BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com Former Lawrence mayor Sue Hack passed the torch on to the new mayor, Michael Dever, at last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting as all five commissioners voted to elect Dever as mayor and Robert Chestnut as the new vice mayor. Chestnut said the three most significant issues he and Dever would focus on during their terms were balancing the 2009 budget, encouraging economic development and improving the planning process by making sure land-use permits are processed more efficiently. Before stepping down as mayor, Hack gave her state of the city address in which she praised Lawrence's relationship with the University of Kansas. "We must not fail to recognize the millions of dollars that flow into this community due to the efforts of the research done at KU," Hack said. "Encouraging individuals who called Lawrence home for their college careers to come back and invest in this community will be an added benefit of our positive relationship with the University." Hack went on to discuss the specific relationships between the city and the University, such as the possible merge between KU on Wheels and the city transit system - something Dever had been working on throughout his one-year term as vice mayor. "I thank Vice Mayor Dever for his efforts in working with our staff and Kansas personnel to move this effort forward," Hack said. She also praised two projects the city and the University partnered in building: the new tennis facility, First Serve, and the new KU Boathouse, which is not yet completed. Hack continued her address with what she thought would be the biggest challenge facing city commissioners in the upcoming year: the 2009 budget. "We know that if we are lucky, our revenues from sales tax and property tax will be equal to what they were last year, but there is a strong possibility that they will be less," Hack said. She said she believed disconnect existed in much of Lawrence between what people in the community expected from city services and what it took to maintain those services. "Lawrence has always prided itself on being a community that enjoys its parks, its bike paths, its arts, its cultural heritage and its downtown ... just to name a few," Hack said. "Maintaining these important pieces of our community takes money and when the bulk of that money comes from residential property taxes, we are putting ourselves in a perilous position." Hack went on to express the need for the city to look at adding additional sites for industrial development to expand the city's economy. Economic development has traditionally been a political issue that has divided Lawrence residents. "None of these decisions are easy and none come without a fair amount of angst on the part of many citizens, but unless Lawrence wants to drop further and further into the bedroom community situation, we simply have to find a way to present to companies additional industrial sites," Hack said. Dever received the most votes in the previous city commission election and Chestnut received the second-most. Traditionally, the two candidates who receive the most votes in a city commission election are nominated as mayor and vice mayor in the following mayoral election, said Lisa Patterson, city communications manager. The Lawrence city commission hasn't broken this tradition since 1989, according to the city's Web site. Dever and Chestnut will hold their positions for a year. Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird OREAD INN Project approved Tax to help finance redevelopment BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com No one from the public spoke out against the project. Lawrence City Commission voted unanimously last night to officially approve the Oread Redevelopment Project. "We've been very cautious about the numbers and I'm excited about moving forward so I strongly suggest we move forward with this project," said Commissioner Sue Hack. The Oread Inn project will have to invest $11 million into the construction of an underground parkinggarage and other improvements in the area around the 12th Street and Oread Avenue. "The developers will pay all the expenses and are hoping to get back what they can from the tax incremental finance." Avenue intersection. The Oread Inn will be reimbursed over a 20-year period through tax incremental financing; new money the Oread Inn brings to the city. In other words, the city will add a 1 percent sales tax to the hotel. The money raised through that tax will go toward reimburting the Oread Inn for the $11 million improvements it's required to provide to the area. If the hotel doesn't earn enough revenue to reimburse itself in 20 years, it will not be completely reimbursed, said Matthew Gough, an attorney representing the Oread Inn project. MATTHEW GOUGH Oread Inn project attorney "The developers will pay an the expenses and are hoping to get back what they can from the tax incremental financing," Gough said. "The applicant must self-perform and only then will it be reimbursed for its expenses." Commissioner Mike Amyx asked City Manager Dave Corliss what would happen if the developers didn't follow through with their side of the agreement. On April 8, city commissioners will discuss the demolition plans for the structures located at 12th Street and Oread Avenue, which include Yello Sub. The "If the developer defaults on the agreement, we can terminate the agreement and take them to court," Corliss said. "If the developer doesn't perform, they don't get the incremental tax revenue." Crossing and three houses on Indiana Street. Paul Werner, an architect working on the project, said the demotion phase should begin April 9. He said the construction phase should begin in the middle of May. He hopes the hotel will be completed by January 2010,but it will probably take a little longer, he said. Katy Welsh, member of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance, provided the only public comment about the Oread Inn when she said the project was an opportunity for Lawrence to focus on the architectural aspect of the project. "We realize this is a done deal, but we're hoping this project opens up a great discussion about architecture in our community," she said. "In that line of thinking, there is an architecture presentation at KU this Saturday where we will discuss the possible architectural look of the project."

VER FORGET The parents of Staff Sgt. Keith Matthew Maupin, who lobbied at the Pentagon and even met with President Bush about their missing son, were told Sunday of the discovery. Carolyn and Keith Maupin, parents of U.S. Army Sgt. Keith Matthew Maupin, wave as they participate in the Opening Day Parade prior to the Cincinnati Reds game with the Arizona Diamondbacks in Cincinnati on Monday. Sgt. Maupin's remains were found last week in Iraq. He had been listed as missing since 2004 ASSOCIATED PRES The military had received tips through the years from several sources as authorities continued their search for Maupin. "This last one proved to be the most accurate as we kept getting closer and closer," said Maj. Mark Cheadle, a spokesman for the Baghdad area command. The tip was first reported by the Dayton Daily News. The remains were found in northwest Baghdad, Cheadle said, but he could not provide any more details about the tip or when it was received. The Army used DNA testing to identify the remains, said Keith Maupin, the soldier's father. The discovery of a shirt worn by soldiers at the time Matt Maupin was captured also helped the Army focus its search. On Monday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressed sympathy to Maupin's familv. "This has been especially difficult for the Maupin family because of not knowing for almost exactly four years. So I want to extend my condolences," Gates said, speaking to reporters aboard a flight to Denmark. The Department of Defense also announced an official change in status Monday for Maupin from missing-captured to deceased. Maupin was a 20-year-old private first class when he was captured April 9, 2004, after his fuel convoy, part of the Bartonville, Ill.-based 724th Transportation Company, was ambushed west of Baghdad. A week later, the Arab television network Al-Jazeera aired a videotape showing Maupin wearing camouflage and a floppy desert hat, sitting on the floor surrounded by five masked men holding automatic rifles. That June, Al-Jazeera aired another tape purporting to show a U.S. soldier being shot. But the dark and grainy tape showed only the back of the victim's head and not the execution. His father, Keith Maupin, still is not convinced that his was son. "If that was Matt, I consider that's what God wanted and they couldn't hurt Matt for a long time," Maupin said Sunday. "It just took them a long time to find him." A month after his capture, Matt Maupin was promoted to the rank of specialist. In August 2006, he was promoted to staff sergeant. A three-star general discussed the discovery of the remains with Maupin's parents on Sunday in Batavia, a Cincinnati suburb where their son grew up. Four U.S. service members remain missing in Iraq: Capt. Michael Speicher, a Navy pilot, has been missing since the 1991 Persian Gulf War; Sgt. Ahmed al-Taie, a 41-year-old Iraqi-born reserve soldier from Ann Arbor, Mich., was abducted while visiting his Iraqi wife in October 2006 in Baghdad; and Pfc. Byron Fouty and Sgt. Alex Jimenez have been missing since May 12, 2007. 》 ENVIRONMENT Mo. gov. slow to grant waiver City may opt-out of E10 gasoline requirement ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Air quality officials in Kansas City say time is running out for Gov. Matt Blunt to give the city a waiver from a law requiring the use of an ethanol blend of gasoline at most pumps in the state. The ozone season started Tuesday, and city officials say the waiver must be granted soon to prevent the new ethanol gasoline from worsening the city's air pollution. "The governor has said he will work with us, but he is not," said James Joerke, Mid-America Regional Council's air quality program manager. The issue centers on a new state law that requires the use of a 10 percent ethanol blend, called E10. While the gasoline is seen as a way to decrease the country's dependence on foreign oil, it also creates more smog than standard gasoline.

Iraq appears before Congress to offer his recommendation on how fast America should draw down its own forces. But second thoughts about Iraqi security capabilities emerged as Iraq's government reported a 50 percent rise in the number of people killed in March over the previous month. Much of the increase was a result of the fighting between Iraqi government forces and Shiite militiamen in the southern city of Basra. The conflict quickly spread, engulfing Baghdad and major cities throughout the Shiite south. Britain had planned to drawn down its 4,000-strong military force in southern Iraq to 2,500 over the next few months, handing over more security responsibility to the Iraqis. In the wake of the Basra fighting, however, Defense Secretary Des Browne told the House of Commons that "it is prudent that we pause any further reductions while the current situation is unfolding." Browne offered no criticism of the Iraqi effort in Basra, launched "At this stage we intend to keep our forces at their current levels of around 4,000 as we work with our coalition partners and with the Iraqis to assess future requirements," Browne said, promising to update lawmakers later this month. March 25 to regain control of the country's second-largest city from Shiite militias and criminal gangs which have effectively ruled the streets for nearly three years. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite, flew to Basra last week and took personal command of the crackdown, promising he would remain in the city for "a decisive and final battle" to crush the militias. Nonetheless, Iraqi officials have acknowledged they underestimated the fury of the militia resistance, which included rocket and mortar attacks against the U.S.-controlled Green Zone in Baghdad and armed assaults against government and political party offices throughout the south. Fighting eased after anti- American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called his fighters off the streets Sunday under a deal brokered by Iran. But al-Sadr's fighters refused to surrender their weapons — a development which left the cleric in a position of power and al-Maliki politically battered. Al-Maliki returned Tuesday to Baghdad, declaring the operation a success although several Basra neighborhoods appeared to remain under militia control. Al-Sadr, meanwhile, thanked his fighters for "defending your people, your land and your honor." Figures tabulated by The Associated Press from police and U.S. military reports put the March death toll as of Monday at 1,247 — nearly double the February figure and the biggest monthly toll since August, when 1,956 people died violently.

Tsvangirai said that according to the results they collected throughout the country he had won the presidency and was waiting for the confirmation from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission. He was flanked by Thokozile Khupe, left, the party's deputy president and Tendai Biti, Secretary General. ASSOCIATED PRESS HARARE, Zimbabwe — The main opposition leader insisted Tuesday he has won Zimbabwe's presidential election outright and denied persistent reports he was negotiating to ease out President Robert Mugabe, who has led the country from liberation to ruin. In his first public comments since Saturday's election, Morgan Tvangirai said he was waiting for an official announcement of the results from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission before he would enter any talks with Mugabe. A businessman close to the state electoral commission and a lawyer close to the opposition said earlier the two men's aides were negotiating a graceful exit for Mugabe, the country's leader of 28 years. Both sources spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Several diplomats said they had heard similar reports of secret negotiations but could not confirm talks were under way. "There are no discussions," Tsvangirai said. "Let's wait for ZEC to complete its work, then we can discuss the circumstances that will affect the people." Deputy Information Minister Bright Matanga also denied it, telling the British Broadcasting Corp. "There are no negotiations whatsoever, because we are waiting for the presidential results, so why do we need to hold any secret talks?" Tensions rose as people stayed away from work to await results. A senior police officer, Wayne Bvudzijena, went on state radio to say: "Our forces are more than ready to deal with perpetrators of violence." Paramilitary police have stepped up patrols in Harare and Bulawayo, the second-largest city, and several roadblocks have been set up at strategic entries to the capital. The opposition has most of its support in urban centers. Tsangirai said he had won more than the 50 percent simple majority needed for victory. Mugabe has made no statement about the election. The businessman said Mugabe has been told he is far behind Tsvangirai in preliminary results and that he might have to face a runoff. He said the prospect was too humiliating for the 84-year-old Mugabe, and that was why the president was considering ceding power in this Montana-sized country in southern Africa. The Zimbabwe Election Support Network, a coalition of 38 Zimbabwe civil society organizations, said its random representative sample of polling stations showed Tsvangirai won just over 49 percent of the vote and Mugabe 42 percent. Simba Makoni, a former Mugabe loyalist, trailed at about 8 percent. In Washington, Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the National Security Council, said "it's clear the people of Zimbabwe have voted for change. It's time for the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to confirm the results we have all seen from the local polling stations and respected NGOs." At his news conference, Tsvangiral spoke as if he already had been declared president: "For years we have trod a journey of hunger, pain, torture and brutality," he said. "Today we face a new challenge of governing and rehabilitating our beloved country, the challenge of giving birth to a new Zimbabwe founded on restoration not retribution, on love not war." The commission has offered no results in the presidential race. Zimbabweans still fear that Mugabe may declare himself winner, as he has in previous elections that observers said were marked by rigging, violence and intimidation.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Ventura not pleased with either candidate ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota already has a comedian running for Senate. So why not its most famous former pro wrestler? In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, former Reform Party Gov. Jesse Ventura said there's nothing that could get him back into politics. But then he kept talking: "I've learned after 56 years you never say never. I have no attention at this point in time, but who knows, that could change?" He said that he's watching the Senate race with interest, and that "I'm not very pleased with either candidate." he just finished shooting an independent movie, "Woodshop," in which he plays a shop teacher.

In the book, Ventura digresses into his obsessions, at one point laying out a scenario in which he ends up running for president, including a campaign kickoff at a Wrestlemania event. "Am I going to run for president this year? No," he said. In between talking about leaving the gold standard and the virtues of Mexican property taxes, Ventura declared himself "the most powerful man in America." Why? Because, he said, Republicans and Democrats had to work together to stop him when he was governor. "I'm the only one that could get them in bed together," he said.

THE FUTURE OF WATER Expired memo proves harsh tactics **Protestors demonstrate the use of waterboarding on a volunteer in front of the Justice Department in Washington on Nov. 5, 2007. President Bush said on March 8 that he vetoed legislation that would ban the CIA from using harsh interrogation methods such as waterboarding to break suspected terrorists because it would end practices that have prevented attacks.** **ASSOCIATED PRESS** ASSOCIATED PRESS The Justice Department memo dated March 14, 2003, outlines legal justification for military interrogators to use harsh tactics against al-Qaida and Taliban detainees overseas — so long as they did not specifically intend to torture their captors. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Tuesday released a now-defunct legal memo that approved the use of harsh interrogation techniques against terror suspects, saying that President Bush's authority during wartime trumps any international ban on torture. Even so, the memo noted, the president's wartime power as commander in chief would not be limited by the U.N. treaties against torture. "Our previous opinions make clear that customary international law is not federal law and that the president is free to override it at his discretion," said the memo written by John Yoo, who was then deputy assistant attorney general and headed the Office of Legal Counsel. The memo also offered a defense in case any interrogator was charged with violating U.S. or international laws. "Finally, even if the criminal prohibitions outlined above applied, and an interrogation method might violate those prohibitions, necessity or self-defense could provide justifications for any criminal liability," the memo concluded. The memo was rescinded in December 2003, a mere nine months after Yoo sent it to the Pentagon's top lawyer, William J. Haynes. Though its existence has been known for years, its release Tuesday marked the first time its contents in full have been made public. Haynes, the Defense Department's longest-serving general counsel, resigned in late February to return to the private sector. He has been hotly criticized for his role in crafting Bush administration policies for detaining and trying suspected terrorists that some argue led to prisoner abuses at the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Yoo's memo became part of a debate among the Pentagon's civilian and military leaders about what interrogation tactics to allow at overseas facilities and whether U. S. troops might face legal problems domestically or in international courts. Also of concern was whether techniques used by U.S. interrogators might someday be used as justification for harsh treatment of Americans captured by opposing forces.

"Congressman McDermon broke the law, and as a result, he shattered the bonds of trust between our institution and the men and women we represent in the halls of Congress. I remained committed to this case in order to begin restoring those bonds, and to uphold the belief that no one — not even a member of Congress — is above the law."

The new study by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, who journeyed off the coast of Indonesia found that wild octopuses are far from the shy, unromantic loners their captive brethren appear to be.

TECHNOLOGY identity fraud, viruses prompt on-campus improvements BY HALEY JONES editor@kansan.com When Emily Johnsson opened her mail one afternoon, the last thing she expected to discover was that her driver's license had been revoked and there was a warrant out for her arrest. Johnsson, a 22-year-old recent graduate of Z Cosmetology Academy in Lawrence, called the police and was told to come to the station. She knew something was wrong. After nearly being arrested and taken into custody, the police determined Johnsson was innocent. Her old roommate had been using Johnsson's identity to commit credit and check fraud with her bank account and credit cards. According to a Javelin Strategy & Research Survey, 8.4 million American adults were victims of identity fraud in 2007, the fraud amount totaling $49.3 billion. The main cause was careless use of personal information online. "We're seeing an increase in spyware and virus activities. There is always an increase in the amount of people trying to do social engineering and identity theft," said director of Information Technology Security Charles Crawford. Through new staff positions, security initiatives, an emergency text message system and safety awareness promotion, the IT department is attempting to improve security among KU network users. "We increased our staff and segmented out duties to better focus on specific issues." Crawford said. The IT department added a new staff position to its office in October 2006 to target outreach and awareness. Julie Fugett plays the relatively new role of IT systems analyst, and is devoted completely to safety awareness and outreach. "We did four to five different evening events in residence halls, talking about the importance of protecting passwords and discussing what you put on Facebook and what you don't." Fugett said. In the past, the IT department devoted one day in October to canvassing KU's campus with note cards and discussing cyber security. This year, their approach was much more thorough and focused. "In October, we decided to piggyback on the national campaign to promote awareness among our student body," Fugett said. Every day in October, the IT staff posted daily blog entries on their Web site, which provided students with practical tips and advice for staying safe and secure online. The IT department has also partnered with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center to reach the greek community and student residence halls with identity theft presentations. Laura Bauer, program director of fraternity and sorority life, creates presentations that arm students with practical tools they need when using the Internet. "We try to give students a view of what has gone wrong for others and what they can do to help those things with their own profiles in the future," Bauer said. The broad umbrella of the Information Technology department at KU covers a variety of areas including personnel, software applications, hardware and security concerns. "As we continue to expand the network and infrastructure with more wireless and upgrading network connections in buildings, security is part of that increase," said Director of Assessment and Outreach Bill Myers. During the last three years, secu rity has occupied a growing percentage of the general IT budget. In 2005, Internet security accounted for 5.1 percent of the overall IT budget. In 2006, it grew to 6.8 percent and in 2007, constituted 8.2 percent of the budget. Although the change is minor, Myers said it demonstrated the growing importance of securing KU's ever-expanding network and all of its users. In 2005, the IT department's overall budget was $706,000. In 2006, it increased to $914,000 and in 2007 rose to a record of almost $1.2 million. Myers expects yet another increase in state funding this year to keep pace with the enhancements to KU's network and security. "I think we'll continue to see increases in the cost of maintaining the existing infrastructure and continuing to build it to give people the tools they need," Myers said. The IT department is considering opportunities to spread the word of safe information practices even further. Bauer is working with the IT department to include a presentation about online safety and security in new student orientations. "For most students, these are things they have created sitting in their bedroom. We need to help them understand that information they post is not private - it's on the Web," Bauer said. Almost two years after her identity was stolen, Johnsson is still getting back on her feet and looking for a job in Lawrence. Johnsson cautioned against placing any private information on the Web, saying you just don't know whom you can trust and whom you can't. With the IT department's improvements to security, fewer students will feel the effect of those who cannot be trusted.

But these days, Davis and other Oread residents are upset about one unwelcome thing that seems to be finding its way into their neighborhood at an alarming rate: trash. "I walked up Mississippi from Ninth all the way past Memorial Stadium," Davis said, "and there was trash almost all the way up the sidewalk. Blue and red cups, beer bottles, beer cans. It's just all over." "A compliance time frame of five to 10 days would be much more effective in addressing all exterior yard violations including trash and refuse." Davis and other association members recently voiced their concerns to city officials about the appearance of their neighborhood during a discussion with the Lawrence City Commission. The city commission has since researched the current trash ordinance and is considering modifications to the code that could include a shorter period to correct violations and a more proactive enforcement strategy. For citizens such as Davis, who are concerned about the buildup of trash, any change to the existing ordinance that could help clean up their neighborhoods is welcome. BRIAN JIMENEZ Code enforcement manager "It really lowers the expectations of the entire neighborhood when people see that there is already trash everywhere," Davis said. "So then they aren't as worried about their personal contributions and the trash just begins to accumulate." THE ORDINANCE correction and implementing a more proactive enforcement. Currently, any Lawrence resident believed to be in violation of the trash ordinance is first sent a courtesy letter of notification. If the resident has not corrected a violation after 15 days, they are sent a notice outlining the violations and notifying them that they have an additional "15 days from the date City officials told them that the city would re-initiate review of the existing trash ordinance and asked its staff to research any alternatives to the current ordinance. Brian Jimenez, code enforcement manager in Lawrence, prepared a of the mailing of the notice to alleviate the exterior yard conditions." Any violations involving large structures are given a longer compliance period of 30 days. During this time, the owner report on the subject of trash ordinances for the City Commission. In this report, Jimenez reiterated many of the same concerns brought up by citizens. "Dilapidated structures and exterior yard violations have negative effects on neighboring property values and the integrity of the neighborhood," the report stated. Jimenez also recommended that the trash ordinance be reconsidered "to determine if the city would like to become more proactive through a shorter compliance deadline and more aggressive abatement enforcement." He suggested that the city commission eliminate the courtesy letter notification, which is not required but is a department policy. This could shorten the process by about 15 days. Jimenez said that a change in the ordinance would likely require an increase in the $5,000 budget for deadline enforcement, but concluded that a change may need to be considered. "A compliance time frame of five to 10 days would be much more effective in addressing all exterior yard violations including trash and refuse." Jimenez said. is allowed to appeal the violation to the Neighborhood Resources Advisory Committee. If a citizen fails to correct the violations within the 15 day deadline, the city will then correct the mistake and assess all charges to the person in violation. The association, citing numerous complaints regarding excessive trash, recently asked the Lawrence City Commission to consider shortening the time period allowed for "I don't know what it is about young people but they seem to throw their trash everywhere." One city that has an effective trash ordinance is Overland Park, and Jimenez said he recommended adding language to the code similar "It really lowers the expecta tions of the entire neighborhood when people see that there is already trash everywhere."

Overland Park, which is about 40 miles east of Lawrence, has a far different ordinance regarding trash. Citizens of Overland Park are given only 24 to 48 hours In addition to pursuing a revised ordinance, concerned residents participate in "Oread Neighborhood Cleanup Days" and are planning For citizens such as Davis, who are hoping to see a revised trash ordinance, exactly how the code changes is not all that important just as long as it positively contributes to the appearance and cleanliness of their neighborhoods. to correct violations depending on whether they reside on the property or not. Violations regarding structures are given a longer five-day deadline. This is quite different than the common procedures in Lawrence, where extensions of over six months have been given in the past and more often than not part of the fine is suspended. "In these situations, it is very frustrating to staff and even more frustrating for the citizens who are waiting to see the violation corrected," Jimenez said, adding that a shorter deadline period would eliminate these situations in which cases slowly progress through court. Another difference between the ordinances involves the compliance time extensions and fines. Shannon McGuire, an enforcement specialist for the Overland Park Community and Development Services Department, said that their judge rarely gave extension to com- KEEPING LAWRENCLEAN to begin a campaign to post reminder signs asking citizens to take their own trash as they pass through. borhood would only continue to grow. "I don't know what it is about young people but they seem to throw their trash everywhere," Davis said. "There are trash receptacles all over the community. I know they wouldn't do this in their parent's neighborhoods so I don't know why they choose to do it here." But any possible changes to the ordinance will have to eventually come from the city commission, and Jimenez has said that since he prepared the report on the ordinance there had been only brief discussions. "It is real early in the process right now," he said, adding that further discussion would take place in time. "Right now it is under review with our legal department to make sure that the options discussed regarding possible changes could reasonably be applied to our city," Jimenez said. David Corliss, Lawrence city manager, confirmed this in a memo that discussed the ordinance and said that there were plans to "continue a review of these neighborhood integrity issues and present possible amendments to City Code provisions as they are further considered and drafted." The trash ordinance will be discussed in the city commission meeting on April 29. Edited by Patrick De Oliveira INTERNATIONAL ... President Bush shakes hands with Ukraine's President Victor Yuschenko outside St. Sophia's Cathedral in Kiev, Ukraine Tuesday. Bush causes tension by urging ex-Soviet states to join NATO BY TERENCE HUNT ASSOCIATED PRESS BUCHAREST, Romania Unflinching from a fight, President Bush said Tuesday he fully supports proposals to put ex-Soviet states Ukraine and Georgia on the road toward joining NATO despite French and German qualms it would upset relations with Moscow. Bush's declaration laid the groundwork for an uncomfortable showdown when leaders of the 26-member military alliance gather in Bucharest for a summit Wednesday to Friday. France refused to back down under U.S. pressure. "France will not give its green light to the entry of Ukraine and Georgia," Prime Minister Francois Fillon said. "We are opposed to Georgia and Ukraine's entry because we think that it is not the correct response to the balance of power in Europe, and between Europe and Russia." Bush turned up the heat on allies by making a high-profile visit to Ukraine before traveling to Romania. Soviet-era flags were carried in the streets of Kiev on the eve of Bush's arrival, the president noted. More than half of Ukraine's population, most in the Russian-speaking east and south, is deeply suspicious of the West and opposes membership, polls show. Ukraine and Georgia are seeking a precursor to membership known as a membership action plan that spells out what they would have to do to join the alliance. Such a plan could take years to fulfill. "I'm going to work as hard as I can to see to it that Ukraine and Georgia are accepted into MAP," Bush said. "I think it's in our interests as NATO members, and I think it's in Ukrainian and Georgian interests, as well." To emphasize Bush's case, the White House released excerpts of a speech he will deliver Wednesday just hours before the summit opens. Granting Ukraine and Georgia an action plan "would send a signal to their citizens that if they continue on the path of democracy and reform, they will be welcomed into the institutions of Europe," according to the speech. "And it would send a signal throughout the region that these two nations are, and will remain, sovereign and independent states." There were backstage negotiations to resolve an argument among NATO partners about Ukraine and Georgia; U.S. officials said they were uncertain of the eventual outcome. White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush was not looking for a compromise. "We are working very hard to talk with our allies and make the case," Perino said. "But it could be a clarifying moment, and that's not a bad thing, either."

INTERNATIONAL Sarkozy calls for hostage release ASSOCIATED PRESS BOGOTA, Colombia Colombia's president said Tuesday he had approved a French mission to try to meet with hostages held by leftist rebels, including gravely ill politician Ingrid Betancourt. The mission would be "to protect the deteriorating health of the hostages," President Alvaro Uribe said. Betancourt, who holds both French and Colombian nationality, is being held along with dozens of other hostages by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC. In Paris, President Nicolas Sarkozy said he had called Uribe to inform him France was sending a humanitarian mission "without delay to contact the FARC and obtain access to our compatriot," his office said. Uribe said once Colombia's military had the coordinates of the location for any meeting between the French delegation and the rebels, it would temporarily suspend military operations in the zone. Earlier Tuesday, Sarkozy implored the rebels in a televised message to free Betancourt, whom he said was in danger of dying. Betancourt, who has spent six years in captivity, is said to be suffering from Hepatitis B and a skin disease. In a televised message to rebel leader Manuel Marulanda, Sarkozy said the latest information about the health of Betancourt is "profoundly alarming." "Ingrid is in danger of imminent death," Sarko said. "Since only a decision from you to save this woman from death is needed ... Take this decision. Free Ingrid Bencourt, "Sarkozy said." The rebels want to swap Betancourt and dozens of other hostages, including three U.S. defense contractors, for all FARC rebels imprisoned in Colombia and the United States. France has a medically equipped aircraft standing ready to fly to Betancourt's rescue, the president's office said over the weekend. Overstocked store seeks expansion LAWRENCE ReStore helps community by selling housing materials at discounted prices BY KENDRA HALL editor@kansan.com The building is packed with donated goods stacked on top of one another, with shelves so crowded that the materials overflow onto the floor. For store manager Katherine Harris, employees and volunteers, finding space to place materials is becoming difficult. Harris manages the non-profit Habitat for Humanity ReStore, 800 Comet Lane, as part of a solution to get families out of substandardized housing. "There are times we can't even walk there is so much stuff," Harris said. ReStore accepts donations of reusable housing materials and then resells them to the community at discounted prices. A customer does not have to be living in low-income housing or be involved with Habitat for Humanity to shop there. The money earned by ReStore helps fund construction costs to build Habitat for Humanity homes. ReStore also serves as an affiliate storage location for the volunteer organization. The construction side of Habitat for Humanity picks up supplies from ReStore to help build housing. Harris said ReStore had run out of space in its 9,000-square-foot building, with hundreds of donations crowded into its retail space. She said ReStore needed more customers and volunteers so it could eventually relocate to a larger building with a better location. Harris said that if ReStore fulfilled these needs and moved into a new 20,000- to 25,000-square-foot building, it could bring in more donations and customer traffic. This would increase the income, which in return would help more families get out of inadequate "The faster we make a profit, the faster we get people out of substandard housing," Harris said. housing. According to Harris, when it first opened in September 2005, Restore brought in 200 customers a month. Now it brings 500 customers a moth. Restore's busiest sales season runs from May to September, with sales dropping off during the winter months. Harris said that if ReStore relocated into a 20,000-square-foot building it would triple its customer count. A journalism class at the University of Kansas recently began researching and conducting interviews with customers at ReStore. Based on the interviews, students in the class, taught by Robert Basow, associate professor of journalism, will analyze ways to help ReStore advertise and generate profit. ReStore also needs volunteers to help load and unload donations, and to price and showcase them in the store. Harris said ReStore could use about 30 different volunteers each week who could preferably work four-hour shifts. She said that volunteering at ReStore was a good way for student organizations to achieve their community service hours. "We have so few volunteers that we will take whoever for however long they want to work," Harris said. With more customer traffic, ReStore could increase its income. ReStore has already increased its monthly sales by nearly 50 percent during 2007. Now it is about to sell its 500th ton of material. When the retailer first opened in September 2005 its monthly sales were $2,500. Now it brings in about $15,000 in monthly sales. ReStore is still not generating a profit because of an interest-free loan borrowed from the Habitat organization that must be paid off. However, in order to even consider relocation ReStore must break even this year, pay off its debt and start generating a profit next year. For Clifford Lafrenze, a regular customer, shopping at Restore an average of two to three times a month is not unusual. "I like it," Lafrenze said. "It's a chance to get some stuff cheaper than you would normally from somewhere else and it's good stuff!" Lafrenze said that he and his wife, Margie, bought a little bit of everything from ReStore, from sinks, light fixtures, stoves and refrigerators to trim boards and even tile. "I hate to throw things away that still have good use left in them," he said. "Plus it saves on the landfill" Habitat for Humanity homeowner Serenity Walters picked out the majority of her home's materials from ReStore. Walters is a senior administrative associate in human resources at the University. Before becoming a Habitat for Humanity homeowner, Walters and her now 13-year-old son, Kainen Spooner, lived in low-income housing in Lawrence. One condition that applied to her eligibility for a Habitat home was a 200-hour sweat equity, meaning she had to either help build someone else's home or volunteer at ReStore for 50 hours and then help build her own home for 150 hours. Walters chose to volunteer her first 50 hours at the ReStore. While Walters helped build her own home, she visited ReStore frequently to purchase items such as light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, sinks and faucets. "You pick everything out from the ReStore," Walters said. "I love it. You get to decide how you want your house to look." In addition to ReStore's already discounted prices, Habitat for Humanity homeowners receive a 30 percent discount on their purchases from ReStore. Walters said that knowing that she could afford to replace broken household material was reassuring. "I think ReStore is the best thing to ever happen to Habitat for Humanity," Walters said. Local business donors, such as Electric Supply Lighting, contribute to ReStore. Electric Supply Lighting schedules donation pickups at least twice a year ranging anywhere from three to 11 pallets of materials that are old, slightly scratched or dented, overstocked or otherwise unmarketable. It also gives a larger discount to ReStore than it would to other builders. Michelle Mailand, Electric Supply Lighting store manager, said that since ReStore opened its doors, Electric Supply has donated thousands of dollars in material goods. The company also helps ReStore with pricing and recommendations. "We do this because ReStore is helping serve our community that we live in and support," Mailand said. For now, Harris concentrates primarily on getting more customers through the door. She hoped that ReStore could generate enough profit to relocate so that it would be large enough to make a Habitat compound where all Habitat business could be conducted in one location. "Restore hopes to increase the parts that make us run: donations of material, customers to buy the material, and volunteers to help get the materials ready to buy," Harris said.

"It would be clearly inappropriate for you to attend the Olympic Games in China, given the increasingly repressive nature of that country's government," the lawmakers wrote in a letter organized by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. The letter cited China's recent crackdown of protests in Tibet, the Beijing government's close economic ties with the government of Sudan and recent suppression of religious and human rights advocates. It noted that French President Nicolas Sarkozy had said he may not attend the opening ceremonies because of the situation in Tibet and that leaders in other countries were considering a boycott of the opening ceremonies. The letter was signed by 14 Democrats and Republican Dana Rohrabacher of California, a longtime critic of the Chinese government. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in an interview with ABC Television, also told Bush to consider staying away the opening ceremonies as a symbolic gesture against China's actions in Tibet. She said she did not support a boycott of the games by athletes. Bush has taken the position that the Olympics are about athletic competition, not politics, but he sharply confronted China's President Hu Jintao recently about Beijing's harsh crackdown in Tibet. ENTERTAINMENT McCain, Letterman spar in friendly late-night quarrel NEW YORK — Republican presidential candidate John McCain good-naturedly sparred with David Letterman on Tuesday night"s "Late Show." During his monologue, Letterman joked that the Arizona senator reminded him of "the guy at the hardware store who makes the keys" and "the guy who can't stop talking about how well his tomatoes are doing." After Letterman added that McCain looked like "the guy who points out the spots they missed at the car wash," the senator appeared on stage. "You think that stuff's pretty funny, don't you?" McCain asked, then added: "Well, you look like a guy whose laptop would be seized by the authorities." McCain also said the host resembled the guy caught smuggling reptiles in his pants, to which Letterman replied, "Don't knock it if you haven't tried it." The candidate also likened Letterman to the manager of a creepy motel, the guy who enjoys watching his swim trunks inflate in a hot tub and the guy about whom neighbors later say, "He mostly kept to himself." Later in the show, the two discussed more serious issues, including the national credit crisis, Iraqi casualties, the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Bear Stearns and accusations that McCain's not a true conservative Republican. "I think maybe some people think that you ought to have exactly the same position they have on every issue," McCain said. ELECTION Obama focuses on McCain ignores race with Clinton WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Sen. Barack Obama is talking about the elephant in the room — Rep- ublican rival John McCain — and all but ignoring the Democrat who stands between him and his party's presidential nomination. Even though Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was campaigning miles down the Northeast Extension in Philadelphia, Obama criticized the likely Republican nominee's policies on the U.S. troop presence in Iraq, trade and tax cuts. In his town-hall session Tuesday, and in other campaign appearances in recent days, Obama has sought to frame the race as a general election matchup between him and McCain. Of course, there's the little matter of a Pennsylvania primary on April 22, and Clinton's double-digit lead in recent state polls. The extended presidential nomination contest has resulted in an odd political triangle, with each candidate taking alternate turns criticizing one or both of their competitors. "He's on a biography tour right now," Obama said of McCain. "My argument with John McCain is not with his biography, it's with his policies." Democratic race should run its course, Pelosi says WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the superdelegates who may ultimately decide the Democratic party's presidential nominee have a right to vote as they wish, and that the drawn-out contest between candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama should be allowed to reach its conclusion. "These superdelegates have the right to vote their conscience and who they think would be the better president, or who can win, but they also then should get involved in the campaigns and make their power known there," Pelosi said in an interview aired Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." Pelosi recently drew objections from Clinton backers when she said she shared Obama's view that superdelegates — nearly 800 elected officials and party leaders — should be guided by the vote for pledged delegates. Obama leads Clinton in pledged delegates earned in primaries and caucuses, but Clinton leads Obama in endorsements from superdelegates. Overall, Obama has 1,632 delegates to Clinton's 1,500, according to the latest Associated Press tally. It takes 2,024 delegates to win the nomination. Pelosi repeated her view that it would it be harmful to the party if superdelegates were perceived to overturn the will of voters, but made clear she was not suggesting Clinton withdraw from the race. "I think the election has to run its course," Pelosi said. "I think that for all that I have said about respecting the will of the people that the inference to be drawn from that is that we have to continue the election in terms of hearing from the people." WASHINGTON Rice keeps ball rolling with morning workout WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she realizes few other people are willing to rise at 4:30 a.m. to get in a daily workout. "That's my own particular strangeness," says the gym rat diplomat. Actually, some days it's 4 a.m., and she considers 40 minutes on an elliptical exercise machine a "light cardio" day. She adds a tough regimen with weights on those wimpy days, under the tutelage of a hardbody trainer. "Like everybody, I get up some mornings and think, 'I can't do it.' And then I think, 'Sure you can, because you won't feel as alert if you don't,'" Rice said in an interview with Fitness magazine. HAVANA — Shoppers snapped up DVD players, motorbikes and pressure cookers Tuesday as a slew of consumer products went on sale to all Cuban citizens for the first time. Possibly more significant, Cuba announced it will lend unproductive state land to private farmers to boost agricultural production. WORLD Cubans less restricted under new president Combined with other reforms announced in recent days, the measures suggested that substantial changes are being driven by new President Raul Castro, who vowed when he took over from his brother Fidel to remove some of the more irksome limitations on the daily lives of Cubans. Many shopper mourned the fact that the newly available goods were unaffordable on the government salaries they earn. But that didn't stop them from lining up to see electronic gadgets previously sold only to foreigners or companies. Associated Press FRESH & SMOKED MEAT SUPER SALE!

Turner, 69, said he had only made a few disparaging comments a long time ago and that he is "always developing" his thinking as he grows older.

The Protestant groups have been working overseas to fight poverty and prevent disease for more than a century. "Religion is one of the bright spots as far as I'm concerned, even though there are some areas, like everything else, where they've gone over the top a little, in my opinion," Turner said.

Turner now says he does not consider himself agnostic or atheist, as he had sometimes described himself previously. He prays for sick friends because "it doesn't hurt," he said, and maintains several churches on his properties for employees and others who live nearby.

Turner's foundation had been working with many groups, including the Methodists, on the Nothing But Nets campaign, which provides insecticide-treated bed nets in needy communities. Lutheran World Relief also had been helping malaria-infected cities and villages. But their new joint project has an even more ambitious goal: to stop deaths from malaria, which kills more than 1 million people a year. The United Methodist Church will raise $100 million for the project. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, with their humanitarian arm Lutheran World Relief, will raise Ted Turner, chairman of Tumer Enterprises and the his United Nations Foundation, speaks during a news conference Tuesday at United Nations headquarters. Turner announced a $200 million partnership with Lutherans and Methodists to fight malaria as part of achieving the Millennium Development Goals in conjunction with the U.N. between $75 million and $100 million. "This will be the largest campaign of its type ever for Lutherans," said the Rev. John Nunes, president and chief executive of Lutheran World Relief. Texas Bishop Janice Huie, president of the Methodist Council of Bishops, said the money will be raised over several years. The two denominations were chosen because of their overseas experience and their ability to advocate for the project in the U.S., said Elizabeth Gore, the foundation's executive director for global alliances.

Democrats demand explanations for high costs, profits BY H. JOSEF HEBERT ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Don't blame us, oil industry chiefs told a skeptical Congress. Top executives of the country's five biggest oil companies said Tuesday they know record fuel prices are hurting people, but they argued it's not their fault and their huge profits are in line with other industries. "On April Fool's Day, the biggest joke of all is being played on American families by Big Oil." Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., said, aiming his remarks at the five executives sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in a congressional hearing room. Appearing before a House committee, the executives were pressed to explain why they should continue to get billions of dollars in tax breaks when they made $123 billion last year and motorists are paying record gasoline prices at the pump. "Our earnings, although high in absolute terms, need to be viewed in the context of the scale and cyclical, long-term nature of our industry as well as the huge investment requirements," said J.S. Simon, senior vice president of Exxon Mobil Corp., which made a record $40 billion last year. "We depend on high earnings during the up cycle to sustain ... investment over the long term, including the down cycles," he continued. Several lawmakers noted the rising price of gasoline at the pump, now averaging $3.29 a gallon amid talk of $4 a gallon this summer. While Democrats hammered the executives for their profits and demanded they do more to develop alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and biofuels, Republican lawmakers called for opening more areas for drilling to boost domestic production of oil and gas. "I heard what you are hearing. Americans are very worried about the rising price of energy," said John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., echoing remarks by the other four executives including representatives of BP America Inc., Chevron Corp. and ConocoPhillips. What would bring lower prices? asked Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, the committee's ranking Republican of energy supply," replied Robert Malone, chairman of BP America, adding that 85 percent of the country's coastal waters are off limits to drilling. "We need access to all kinds Exxon is spending $100 million on research into climate change at Stanford University, replied Simon, but current alternative energy technologies "just do not have an appreciable impact" in addressing "the challenge we're trying to meet." But Markey wanted to know why the companies aren't investing more in energy projects other than oil and gas — or giving up some tax breaks so the money could be directed to promote renewable fuels and conservation and take pressure off oil and gas supplies. The appearance Tuesday before the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming was not the first time that oil executives had faced the harsh words of a lawmakers frustrated over their inability to do anything about soaring oil and gasoline costs. "Why is Exxon Mobil resisting the renewable revolution," asked Markey, noting that the other four companies together have invested $3.5 billion in solar, wind and biodiesel projects. 》 WORLD Drug lord sentenced to 30 years BY TALES AZZONI ASSOCIATED PRESS SAO PAULO, Brazil — A reputed Colombian drug lord whose cartel is accused of having shipped hundreds of tons of cocaine to the United States was sentenced Tuesday to more than 30 years in prison in Brazil for crimes com- mmitted in that country. Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia, who was arrested last year in Brazil, was found guilty of money laundering, corruption, conspiracy and use of false documents in this South American country. Besides the sentence, Ramirez Abadia must also pay a fine worth $2.5 million.

Judge Fausto Martin de Sanctis said in a statement. 2429 Iowa President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will have the final word on whether he stays in Brazil to serve his sentence or is extradited immediately to the United States. In his ruling, the judge advised against extraditing Ramirez Abadia until he has served his time in Brazil. Brazil's Supreme Court has said the United States must agree not to sentence Ramirez Adabia to more than 30 years in jail, the maximum allowed under Brazilian law, in order for the extradition to take place. Ramirez Abadia claims he left Colombia for Brazil because he feared he might be killed by rival drug gang members and said he was not involved in drug trafficking in Brazil. 1 MONTH UNLIMITED Regular Bed for $34.95 Super Bed - 30 (no membership fees) ULTIMATE TAN 2449 Iowa St. Holiday Shopping Plaza (785) 842-4949 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 2008 NEWS 13A 》 ECONOMY Senate debates housing crisis Democrats, Republicans agree to end bickering and work on a bipartisan solution ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Under growing pressure from voters to do something about the nation's home foreclosure crisis, top Senate leaders agreed Tuesday to at least start with a plan that can win the support of both Democrats a nd Republicans The pact Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and the panel's top Republican, Richard Shelby of Alabama, were instructed to forge a com- "The mortgage bankers, God bless them, say this is the end of civilization as we know it ..." SEN. LAMAR ALEXANDER R-Tenn. between Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., ended weeks of partisan bickering over what to do about the crisis in the housing market and the toxic effect it's having on the economy. There is considerable common ground on several steps that can be taken to improve the situation, but battles over how to structure the debate had threatened to produce gridlock. Reid agreed not to bring up a Democratic plan containing a controversial provision — strongly opposed by Republicans and President Bush — to give bankruptcy judges power to cut interest rates and principal on troubled mortgages. That plan stalled a month ago. Instead, Senate Banking promise by Wednesday afternoon. The legislation is likely to draw on elements of the Democratic plan such as letting states issue $10 billion in tax-exempt bonds to refinance subprime loans and permitting homebuilders and other money-losing businesses to reclaim previously paid taxes. Democrats also want to provide $4 billion to states to buy up and refurbish foreclosed homes, a plan that the administration opposes as a bailout for lenders and speculators. Senators in both parties gave the arrangement a 94-1 stamp of approval on a previously scheduled procedural vote. Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., was the sole "nay" vote. The upcoming bill also is sure to attract a GOP amendment by Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia to award $15,000 tax credits to people who buy and move into foreclosed homes. That would sharply boost demand, Isakson says. Lawmakers in both parties support the idea. The measure is also likely to include a plan by Dodd to have the Federal Housing Administration guarantee perhaps $400 billion worth of refinanced loans if lenders reduce loan amounts to reflect reduced home values. The measure would force banks to make less money on the loans but would also reduce their credit exposure. There is also bipartisan backing for $200 million in new money for debt counselors to help homeowners negotiate with lenders. tory lending practices, estimates about 600,000 people would keep their homes under Durbin's plan instead of ending up before bankruptcy judges who aren't permitted to adjust mortgage terms, regardless of how onerous they are. "It would mean higher risk higher interest rates and higher monthly payments." The hotly contested provision rewriting the bankruptcy code, opponents say, would allow borrowers to effectively rewrite their mortgage contracts and would prompt lenders to tighten their standards and raise interest rates. A floor battle still looms over whether to change bankrupty laws to help borrowers trapped in subprime mortgages keep their homes. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-III., is the top backer of the idea, which has drawn withering opposition from banks, Republicans and a few Democrats. Durbin said more than 2 million homeowners face foreclosure by the end of 2009, many of whom were duped into signing mortgages with unfair terms.

If these people go into court to be able to stay in their homes ... interest rates will go up all over America," he said. "Well, that isn't the case at all." Tuesday's developments don't guarantee a successful result, but both parties are under great pressure to produce a bill that can pass this year.

Oprah to air investigation about puppy mills abuses ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Oprah Winfrey plans to dedicate a show investigating abuses at puppy mills to her cocker spaniel, Sophie, who died last month from kidney failure. "Sophie gave me 13 years of unconditional love. She was a true love in my life," Winfrey says on the broadcast scheduled to air Friday. The show features special correspondent Lisa Ling investigating puppy mills, which Ling calls "hor rific" and "haunting." Winfrey says the show is "for anybody anywhere who loves a dog, has ever loved a dog, or just cares about their basic right to humane treatment." SCIENCE While Sophie was not a product of a puppy mill, and Winfrey's three current dogs were adopted from breeders, Winfrey says in the future she would look to adopt from an animal shelter. Old corneas transplant as well as newer ones ASSOCIATED PRESS It may sound surprising. After all, when it comes to most types of transplants, younger organs and tissue are more coveted — and there has been controversy among corneal surgeons about using older eye tissue, too. WASHINGTON - Older corneas seem to transplant as well as younger ones, says a major new study that promises to expand the age of cornea donation to 75. But government-funded researchers randomly assigned cornea recipients to get either younger or older tissue and found the corneas of both groups survived just as well five years later. The study was published Tuesday in the journal Ophthalmology. "We now have scientific evidence showing that older donors can be used reliably in corneal transplantation," said Dr. Edward Holland of the University of Cincinnati and one of the study's lead researchers. The cornea is the clear covering for the front of the eye, crucial for helping it focus light. More than 39,000 corneal transplants were performed last year, according to the Eye Bank Association of America. The nation has had an adequate supply so far. But specialists say there are international shortages, and eye banks fear U.S. supplies will tighten as a result of tougher Food and Drug Administration donor-safety rules that began last summer, increasing interest in older donors. Transplant surgeons decide how old a cornea they'll accept. Some surgeons, Holland included, have worked with eye banks that accept corneas from donors older than 65. Others banks set younger limits, although age isn't the most important factor. Donors must be in good health, free of various infections — and the corneas must contain enough of a particular cell type, endothelial cells that balance fluid to keep the cornea clear, not cloudy. To see whether age mattered, the National Eye Institute funded the new work at 80 medical centers. Researchers recruited about 1,000 people who needed new corneas because of two conditions — a swelling known as Fuch's dystrophy and a complication of cataract surgery — that together account for almost half of corneal transplants. Most were in their 60s and 70s, although 12 percent were in their 50s and 3 percent in their 40s. Participants were divided into two groups, getting corneas either from donors ages 12 to 65 or from those 66 to 75. Then researchers tracked how often the transplant failed, because the cornea was rejected or turned cloudy. Five years later, 86 percent of both groups still had successful transplants. "There was a bias against older tissue," said co-author Dr. Jonathan Lass of University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland. "This is going to change our view of that." There are two caveats: The study focused on older adults with conditions that put them at medium risk of transplant failure. But about 20 percent of corneal transplants are in younger adults with lower-risk conditions whose transplants seldom fail. The study doesn't address whether a 20-year-old would be OK with a 75-year-old cornea. Also, Lass led a closer look at the fate of those endothelial cells that keep corneas clear. Those cells normally die slowly with age, at a rate of about half a percent a year during adulthood, he said. For unknown reasons, transplanted corneas rapidly lose many of those cells in the first year before the rate of loss slows again. Holland, however, contended the study results should apply to all ages. While there still are some questions about transplants in the young, the study does provide strong support for wider use of older corneas, said Dr. Thomas Steinemann, a cornea specialist in Cleveland and spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Using a special camera to count the cells, Lass found that older transplanted corneas did lose slightly more endothelial cells — 75 percent loss in older corneas over five years and 69 percent loss in younger ones. The difference wasn't statistically significant, nor was there any difference in cloudiness between the two groups. Lass stressed. Still, the researchers will track patients for five more years to watch for late differences. Wall Street enjoys big rally 》 ECONOMY a recovery in bank and brokerages to lead major stock indexes higher. Some of the biggest financial players had their sharpest moves of the year Tuesday — Citigroup Inc. shot up 11 percent, JMorgan Chase & Co. rose 9 percent, and Lehman surged 18 percent. ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Wall Street began the second quarter with a big rally Tuesday as investors rushed back into stocks, optimistic that the worst of the credit crisis has passed and that the economy is faring better than expected. The Dow Jones industrials surged nearly 400 points, and all the major indexes shares to help bolster their balance sheets. With that upbeat news and a fresh quarter ahead of them, investors appear quite willing to make some bets that the worst of the damage from the nation's credit struggles has been felt. Moreover, the banks' moves buttressed the view that financial services companies are taking aggressive action to improve their capital bases and stave off the potential of a collapse similar to Bear Stearns Cos. "The extreme conditions we've seen here over the past few months has been missing that confidence ... but that appears to be changing, and we're seeing the response."

Government data on construction spending for hissing that confidence ... but that appears to be changing, and we're seeing the response." The Dow rose 391.47, or 3.19 percent, to 12,654.36. It marked the eighth-biggest point gain ever for the Dow, and the third time in two weeks it came close to or surpassed 400 points. Broader stock indicators also gained sharply. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 47.48, or 3.59 percent, to 1,370.18 — the index's best start to a second quarter since 1938. And, the Nasdaq composite index rose 83.65, or 3.67 percent, to 2,362.75. The advance was in contrast to a lackluster session on Monday, where stocks managed a moderate gain in the final session of a dismal first quarter. Major indexes ended the first three months of 2008 with massive losses, marking the worst period since the third quarter of 2002 when Wall Street was approaching the lowest point of a protracted bear market. February also came in better than expected. Renewed enthusiasm that the credit crisis might be waning was also felt in the Treasury market, where government securities fell as investors withdrew money to take bets on stocks. The 10-year Treasury note's yield, which moves opposite its price, rose to 3.55 percent from 3.43 percent late Monday. The yield updied to 3.56 percent in after-hours trading. Life Happens.

The Jayhawks clinched a victory 59-57 sending them to their third Final Four in the last seven years on Sunday. Collins eager to play Recurring injuries, illness prevent him from feeling 100 percent BY MARK DEN1 mdent@kansan.com A knit KU cap hung low over Sherron Collins' eyes in the locker room at Ford Field in Detroit. His words were barely audible, partially because of a quiet voice and even more so because he rarely moved his gaze from the ground. That was Saturday. A day later, he smiled and cheered with his teammates in celebration of their Final Four berth. Happiness returned briefly, but Collins wants more. A tournament that's been so successful for Kansas has been sour most of the time for Collins, a sophomore guard. The Jayhawks have won 35 games and are two victories away from a national championship, but Collins laments that he hasn't been able to do as much as he wants for his team because of injuries and most recently, an illness that Bill Self said was tonsillitis. "I just don't feel like myself," Collins said. "I feel out of touch with myself." Then, another injury returned. Two days before Kansas' first round game against Portland State, he dove for a loose ball at practice and collided with senior guard Rodrick Stewart, bruising his knee. Collins slogged through the first game before erupting for 10 points in the second half against UNLV. He was back, right? The unhealthy Sherron story was supposed to be on its final chapter two weeks ago — the one that ends with Collins recovering from regular season injuries to play a big role in the postseason. Everyone expected that to happen after Collins finished the regular season earning Big 12 Player of the Week honors because of his 13-point, seven-assist performance at Texas A&M. Collins followed that game up with a solid Big 12 Tournament. Little did he know that more bad luck struck earlier that day. Stewart had come down with a bad case of tonsillitis and missed Kansas' second round game against UNLV. Stewart holed up in his hotel room for the day. No one was supposed to visit. Collins did. "You cool?" Collins asked Stewart. "You feeling any better?" He didn't walk into the room, but he came to the door. Stewart said Collins was the only player who came by to see him while he was sick. Collins came down with a similar illness later the next week. "I don't know if I got him sick" Stewart said. "I hope not." "When he's not injured I feel like he's a top-five point guard in the country," sophomore guard Brady Morningstar said. "He's only a sophomore and he's that good. He can do so much with the ball, with his quickness, but right now, his explosiveness isn't the same." On Friday against Villanova, Collins struggled again, going for four points and three turnovers in 21 minutes. Self said his player wasn't himself because of the tonsillitis. Collins played more minutes on Sunday but missed seven of his eight shots. He was hurting from his sickness. Kansas, though, might be hurting more without its electric guard. If Collins' tonsillitis still lingers against North Carolina, Kansas could be in trouble. Ty Lawson, a McDonald's All-American from the same graduating class as Collins, will provide a challenge for all the guards. The Tar Heels will run, and no other Jayhawk performs as well in fast-paced games as Collins. Few players can drive to the basket with the same speed as Collins. Even with his knee not at full strength against UNLV, he still mustered a couple of his mind-blowing offensive moves. Whether he can be a force on Saturday is unknown, but Collins is not lacking desire. "He sees everyone else healthy," Morningstar said, "and he's like man, 'If I was healthy, winning these games, I know we could win by so much more.' It hurts him, but I know deep down he knows he's got to play for the team because we still need him. He's taking it all in stride." Before practice on Tuesday, Collins said he was fully recovered from his bout with tonsillitis, but that he didn't feel as good as he has when he's been at his best this season.

"Lawrence, Kansas, made a good impression on basketball for a dinky town." The game has changed since Carson played. While watching Kansas' thriller against Davidson on Sunday, he said he wasn't used to seeing so many players get knocked down. In Carson's day, the scores were lower, and the shorts were shorter. Even though he wasn't allowed to travel to away games with the team, he served as an assistant to Allen by giving him the chart so Allen could see what the team needed to improve on in practice or at halftime. In his blue Allen Fieldhouse shirt that said, "Beware of the Phog" on the back, Carson walked around the Booth Family Hall of Athletics. He reminisced with his wife about the years gone by. As he walked to the back wall that displayed the greatest Kansas teams and athletes, he searched for familiar faces and stopped at Ralph Miller, a Kansas basketball and Now 82 years old, Carson hadn't had a chance to see Allen Fieldhouse, because the team played in Hoch Auditorium during his semester here. Still, Carson had the opportunity to get to know coach Allen, and his son, Bobby. His bashfulness when asked about memories of Allen showed that Carson really looked DICK CARSON Chartkeeper, 1946 His job as the chartkeeper was to write down each player's number during a game if he shot the ball, then if the shot was good he would circle the number.

As children, they would play sandlot basketball in their neighborhood with each other. Carson pointed at Miller's square picture and said, "Ralph Miller was Kansas' best athlete." As Carson searched for other faces to jog his memory, he came across Wilt Chamberlain. He knew in an instant who the long, limber body in the picture belonged to. Although Carson left before Chamberlain came to Kansas, they met and reminisced about Kansas basketball while Chamberlain was traveling with the Harlem Globetrotters. Carson came up to Wilt and said he knew Allen, and from there the pair shared stories about Kansas basketball. They continued to see each other at different events and chat about Kansas, but Carson still said they were merely acquaintances, even after years of bumping into each other. When he turned around to see a photograph of Allen Fieldhouse from a television perspective, he said that "this is what I see on the television."

Tuesday in Oklahoma City. TENNESSEE 3 KANSAS RELAYS SINCE 1923 KU WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL Tennessee enters Final Four BY JEFF LATZKE ASSOCIATED PRESS Parker scored 26 points and returned after dislocating her left shoulder to lead the Lady Vols out of a second-half deficit for a 53-45 win over Texas A&M in the Oklahoma City Regional final Tuesday night. OKLAHOMA CITY — Even with an injured shoulder, Candace Parker was still able to lift Tennessee into another Final Four. She twice left the game in the first half with the injury and she didn't return until about halfway through the second half. She scored six of the Lady Vols' points in an 8-0 run as they overcame a 42-37 deficit, all while wearing a brace to stabilize her left shoulder. She scored only eight points in the second half, but it was enough to push the Lady Vols (34-2) ahead when combined with a sturdy defensive effort that kept Texas A&M (29-8) scoreless for a five-minute stretch. "I was just going to play as hard as I could and not to think about my shoulder and my situation," Parker said. "I didn't want this to be the last time that we played together." She turned a second alley-oop attempt into a successful layup, and that got the Lady Vols' run going.Shannon Bobbitt followed with two free throws, and Parker hit two of her own to put Tennessee ahead 43-42 with 3:44 to play. She went 1-for- Even after returning from the locker room with the shoulder wrapped, she shot an airball on her first jumper from the foul line and then couldn't convert a layup off a lob at the right block. 2 on two successive trips to the foul line to stretch the lead to three. "People, sometimes they see Candace as more of a finesse player but I think sometimes when you see finesse players, you don't realize just how mentally tough they are until you see them fight through the adversity that she fought through tonight," Tennessee coach Pat Summitt said. After a free throw by the Aggies' Takia Starks, Parker lost the ball in the lane but was able to recover and pass to Alexis Hornbuckle for a deep 3-pointer that gave the Lady Vols a 48-43 edge with 48.8 seconds left. "That was an interesting 3-ball," Summitt said. "The thing about Alexis is she wants it so much." Hornbuckle and Bobbitt each hit Top-seeded Tennessee advances to the Final Four for the sixth time in the past seven seasons, where it will face Southeastern Conference rival LSU.

Before he could get too lost in the moment, he started to joke about the cheerleaders and how the University of Southern California preferred their cheerleaders to look like during his time there. Before he left the building, Carson had one last treat. He would be stepping onto the James Naismith court where the Jayhawks now play. As he slid through one of the open doors entering the court, he clapped his hands in disbelief. The only light was a tiny gleam of sunlight from the small windows above the rafters. The small lighting gave the court a mystical feeling different than when the fans were packed in like sardines and a sea of blue cascaded from every section. Carson walked to the middle of the court by himself as his family stood back and watched his reaction. Just like when he stared up at Allen's statue in front of the fieldhouse in awe, the words for his feelings couldn't escape his lips. KANSAN FILE PHOTO His eyes started to get misty as his gaze wandered around the roof. It seemed as if he were searching for any remnants of the coach who he had only known for a short time, but who had impacted him so much. The only thing he could muster was, "I could cry." Although he was only here for one semester before attending USC for the remaining years of college, he is still a Jayhawk basketball fan. He might be a USC football fan, but his heart will always belong to the Jayhawks. Kansas impressive in outdoor opener "Lawrence, Kansas, made a good impression on basketball for a dinky town," Carson said. 》TRACK & FIELD Eight Jayhawks take titles, three regionally qualify in season-starting Missouri Relays KANSAS 3278 8 Julius Jiles, senior sprinter and hurdler, keeps pace with other runners during the men's 100-meter dash on April 21, 2007. Jiles won the 110-meter and 400-meter hurdles in the first outdoor track meet of the semester last weekend. Edited by Russell Davies BY DANNY NORDSTROM dnordstrom@kansan.com Freshman Iain Trimble came into his first college meet with high expectations. The javelin thrower won his first meet and broke the meet record at the Missouri Relays last weekend. One throw also gave him the fourth best javelin throw in school history. Trimble is just getting started. "I'm not satisfied" he said. "I have some pretty lofty goals this season." The rest of the University of Kansas Track & Field team has some big goals as well. Last weekend at a frigid and windy Missouri Relays, eight Jayhawks took home titles and three regionally qualified to start off the outdoor season. "As a coaching staff, our goal is to make each individual reach their potential," head coach Stanley Redwine said, "I think we've been doing that." Senior spinner Julius jiles had impressive showings in both the 400-meter and 110-meter hurdles. He won both events, regionally qualifying in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.03 seconds. "It felt pretty good to still regional qualify even though the conditions were bad," he said. Jiles commented on the positive start to the outdoor season. "After all that, it says that our team really should do something this outdoor season," he said. "It's been said one too many times that in indoor we didn't do what we were supposed to do, but I think now everybody is focused on what we need to do." Redwine agrees with Jiles and feels that the outdoor season gives the Jayhawks a fresh start after a somewhat disappointing finish for the men in the indoor season. "I think they are two different seasons and we have to approach them totally differently," he said. Redwine elaborated on this, saying that the outdoor season brings new events with it and allows more people to contribute to the team. One such event is the javelin. Trimble's impressive victory in the event is exactly what the Jayhawks are looking for this outdoor season. Trimble's 68.04-meter meet throw shattered the previous record by about five feet. He commented on his feelings going into his first college meet. "Coming into this meet I knew nobody, so I was like, 'Oh, my God,' does that kid throw farther than me?" he said. "During my first throw I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest." In addition to Trimble and Jiles' domination, junior Zlata Tarasova regionally qualified for the women's hammer toss with her throw of 54.44 meters. She placed fourth in the event. Also claiming victories for the Jayhawks were junior long jumper Eric Fattig, sophomore pole-vaulter Kirk Cooper, junior shot putter Emily Reimer, sophomore spinner Lauren Bonds and junior sprinters Victoria Howard and Sha'Ray Butler. Today, the Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas, for the Texas Relays. Jiles is excited about the moment last weekend's meet will give the team. "It gave us a lot of momentum," he said. "To see everybody's times throughout the past two weeks and then for our team to go out in those bad conditions and still compete on the level that we did, it really brings a lot to our team."

Chamberlain could appear on a commemorative U.S postage stamp as soon as 2010 if the idea is approved by postal officials. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Win Chamberlain's next enduring stamp on basketball might come on the upper right corner of an envelope instead of a 100-point game. Wilt the Stilt could become Wilt the Stamp if a grass roots effort to get the Hall of Famer and the only NBA player to score 100 points in a game on a commemorative U.S postage stamp is approved by postal officials. Chamberlain's image on a stamp might be the only way the 7-foot-1 basketball icon could ever be cut down to size. "I'd be very proud if that happens and I'm sure he would be, too, if he was alive," said Selina Gross, Chamberlain's sister. "I think held be very honored. He probably wouldn't believe this could happen to him." NFL The cause was started by sports writer Donald Hunt of The Philadelphia Tribune, a 123-year-old newspaper that primarily targets the black community. Hunt, who recalled as a child watching in person Chamberlain play for the 76ers against Oscar Robertson and the Cincinnati Royals, believes "The Big Dipper" has the credentials to join Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Joe Louis and Jesse Owens among the sports legends with their own stamps. The best way for Chamberlain, who died in 1999, to earn a sticky square is for supporters to write letters to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee. The committee reviews proposals four times a year and passes their recommendations on to the postmaster general. The earliest Chamberlain could appear on a stamp is 2010, said Roy Betts, a U.S. postal service spokesman. The 76ers will lobby for Chamberlain with a letter from team president Ed Stefanski on behalf of the organization, Comcast-Spectacor spokesman Ike Richman said Tuesday. Chamberlain still has his fans at the University of Kansas, where he retired No. 13 jersey hangs in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse, Jayhawks coach Bill Self said Chamberlain deserved the recognition. "Anybody who can drop 100 in a game deserves something," Self said. "Still, to this day, you can make a strong case that he is the most dominant basketball player of all time. And not only was he a dominant basketball player,he was maybe as good an athlete as there's been, period." 2008 RO DAY Former Vanderbilt quarterback and current Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler throws to receiver Earl Bennett for NFL scouts in Nashville, Tenn., on March 21. Cutler returned to Vanderbilt to help his former teammate Bennett prepare for the NFL football draft. Cutler says Marshall running out of chances ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Jay Cutler has had it with all the drama and headlines surrounding top target Brandon Marshall. In his first offseason interview, one sprinkled with unusually blunt criticism, the Denver Broncos quarterback called out his No. 1 receiver and fellow third-year star who suffered a gash on his right forearm while horsing around last month. "Yeah, he's not my favorite person right now," Cutler said. "I mean, I support him, but it's always something with him right now." With Jeremy Bates taking over the Broncos' passing game, Cutler said Tuesday that it was imperative for Marshall to participate in all the offseason workouts, but he won't be back in action until training camp. Marshall, who emerged as Cutler's primary target during a breakout 2007 season, said he was horsing around with his older brother at a resort in Orlando, Fla., when he fell into a television set, cutting an artery, a vein, a nerve, two tendons and three muscles in his right arm. Marshall has found himself in the news a lot lately. He faces a DUI charge stemming from an October incident and had a spat with his girlfriend last year that landed him in court. "I've talked to him many times. I think a lot of people have. ... He knows he's running out of chances," Cutler said. "This wasn't like his DUI and other stuff he'd had. It was an accident, but still, things like that can't happen. He knows it. Marshall said last week that he realizes he has to grow up and that his freak injury was a wake-up call.

Indiana University will hire Marquette's Tom Cream as its basketball coach and is expected to introduce him at a news conference Wednesday. MARY ST. ANTHONY University trustee Philip Eskew confirmed the hiring. Eskew said Crean had signed a letter-of-intent with the university and was meeting with his team Tuesday night. Team spokesman J.D. Campbell said a news conference had yet to be scheduled. Marquette basketball coach Tom Crean watches a basketball game against Coppin State on Dec. 21, 2007, in Milwaukee. Indiana University will hire Crean as its basketball coach and is expected to introduce him at a news conference Wednesday. University trustee Philip Eskew confirmed the hiring. Eskew said Crean had signed a letter-of-entiture with the university and was meeting with his team Tuesday night. The hiring comes near the end of a tumultuous six-week period in which former Hoosiers coach Kelvin Sampson resigned amid an NCAA scandal, interim coach Dan Dakich replaced him and then lost four of seven games. Dakich also suspended guard Dakich at Jamarcus Ellis for disciplinary reasons for the Hoosiers' game at Penn State, and announced Tuesday that Ellis and guard Armon Bassett had been kicked off the team for missing two scheduled events. of team will Crean inherit. Starting forwards D.J. White and Lance Stemler both finished their senior seasons, and it's uncertain whether Bassett and Ellis, two of the starting guards, will return after being punished for missing an appointment last week. When they didn't show up to run laps the next day, Dakich decided to dismiss them from the team. On Monday, freshman Eric Gordon is expected to announce whether he will declare early for the NBA. Most figure, he's leaving, which would leave Indiana without all five of its regular starters from last season. "I think it's a very good move," said Jared Jeffries, a former Indiana star now playing for the New York Knicks. "He's proven himself to be a successful college coach at this Outside the administration, the decision was greeted warmly, too. Cream, who led Marquette to the Final Four in 2003, will be responsible for rebuilding not only Indiana's reputation as a national power but also its sullied image as a squeaky clean program. "That's who we need at Indiana, we need somebody who is going to be stable, a foundation for our future." JARED JEFFRIES New York Knicks forward Now the question is what kind "I think he's a great choice," Eskew said. "He has a Big Ten background, a Midwest background, he's recruited in the state of Indiana and he has an impeccable record, so I think Indiana is on the road to recovery." level, a very good recruiter, recognize talent. That's who we need at Indiana, we need somebody who is going to be stable, a foundation for our future." K n i c k s Some thought Thomas might be a candidate to take over at his alma mater, but Thomas, who has never coached at the college level, said Sunday he was never contacted by university officials. coach Isiah Thomas, who led Indiana to the 1981 national title, also endorsed the move. "He's got a brilliant basketball mind — definitely a good hire for Indiana — I was very vocal about Dan getting the job, but Tom is definitively qualified and will do an excellent job at Indiana." Thomas said before his game in Milwaukee. on Tuesday, "Any way that I can help him, I definitely will." Cream went 190-96 in nine seasons at Marquette. He leaves for a job that came open after Sampson's latest alleged missteps with the NCAA. Sampson left in February amid a phone-call scandal that brought five allegations of major infractions from the NCAA. Dakich's promotion to interim coach fueled threats of a player boycott and the Hoosiers (25-8) never recovered. They lost four of their final seven games, including a last-second defeat against Minnesota in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals and an 86-72 loss to Arkansas in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Since firing Bob Knight in September 2000, a move that sharply divided Indiana fans, the Hoosiers have failed to find a suitable successor. Mike Davis, who replaced Knight, never won enough to satisfy Indiana's rabid fans, and it took Sampson, Davis' successor, less than two years to stain the university's once-impeccable reputation for playing by the rules. Sampson took the Indiana job in March 2006 and two months later was penalized by the NCAA for making 577 impermissible phone calls between 2000 and 2004 when he was coaching Oklahoma. The second wave of charges emerged in October when a university investigation found Sampson and his staff made more than 100 impermissible calls while still under recruiting restrictions and that Sampson participated in at least 10 three-way calls, another violation of the NCAA's punishment. Athletic director Rick Greenspan called the violations secondary, imposing a one-year extension of the NCAA's recruiting restrictions and pulling a $500,000 raise. The Hoosiers also took away one scholarship for the 2008-09 season. However, an NCAA report released Feb. 13 by Indiana claimed Sampson provided false and misleading information to investigators from both the university and the NCAA, failed to meet the "generally recognized high standard of honesty" expected in college sports and failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the program. Sampson has denied intentionally providing investigators with false information. A GOURMET BURRITO, WITHOUT PRETENSION. Chipotle. MEXICAN GRILL 6TH & MONTEREY WAY Chipotle MEXICAN GRILL --- 6B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2. 2008 Kauffman Stadium renovation to last until July 2009 ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If ever a team was having a rebuilding year, it's the 2008 Kansas City Royals. The whining of saws and the rat-a-tat-tat of jackhammers in a race against time will crank up at 6 oclock every morning all over Kauffman Stadium. When the A water truck will be standing by to wet down dry areas, lest the hot summer winds give fans raspy throats and red, watery eyes. Royals are home for night games, workmen will pack up their equipment and call it a day about four hours before the first pitch. For the entire season, Kauffman will be a combination baseball stadium and major construction zone. It's all part of a $250 million renovation that in many ways will almost completely remake the 35-year-old ballpark by the time everything is finished around July 2009. Great pains are being taken to ensure comfort and safety, said Kevin Uhlich, the Royals' senior vice president for business. As soon as construction is halted every game day, workers will be scurrying around seeing to it that fans will have no problem when they start filling into their seats 90 minutes before game time. "We'll clean everything up, make sure we've got a safe environment, make sure we've got a clean environment,"Uhlich told about 25 media representatives who donned hard hats and goggles for a tour of the stadium on Tuesday, one week before the home opener against the New York Yankees. "They won't get hit with falling mortar," Uhlich said. "The building is safe." Kauffman's reputation as one of the prettiest parks in the major leagues is going to take a major hit, at least for a year. Mounds of dirt are piled up behind left and right field, and the front of the stadium has been completely ripped up. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS "We've tried to make it as accommodating as possible for our fans," said Bob Rice, the vice president for ballpark operations and development.

The Jayhawks lost 7-3 to the Shockers Tuesday, juvenile up eight hits. Leadoff bats hurt Hawks in 7-3 loss BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com If Kansas learned one thing Tuesday night, it was the importance of leadoff men. Five times Kansas pitchers retired Wichita State's leadoff hitter, and the Shockers had just one run from those innings. But four times Wichita State's leadoff men reached base and the Shockers tallied six runs. On the flip side, Kansas' leadoff men reached base just once. Kansas' inability to contain Wichita State's leadoff men and the Jayhawks' futility at the plate led to a relatively smooth 7-3 victory for the Shockers (21-3). Tuesday's victory at Hoglund Ballpark extended Wichita State's winning streak to 18 and marked its fourth straight against Kansas. In dropping their fourth straight game this season, the Jayhawks (18-13) struck out 14 times. "We didn't do a very good job of making an adjustment at the plate," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "One of the things that we try to be is fastball efficient and their guy was changeup, changeup, changeup and we didn't do a very good job of staying off the ball down in the zone. When he did throw his fastball, he was literally in guys' heads." All three runs were unearned and came after an error by Wichita State second baseman Josh Workman. Senior center fielder Casey Larson reached on the error to lead off the inning and scored on a single by junior catcher Buck Afenir. For the next eight innings, Wichita State's pitching staff dominated Kansas hitters, starting with right-hander Tim Kelley (3-1). In five innings, Kelley held Kansas to three unearned runs on four hits and struck out five. As meager as Kansas' three runs were, they were three more than the Jayhawks technically should have scored. Senior right fielder Ryne Price's seventh home run of the season capped off Kansas' scoring for the first inning and the game. ing, obviously," Price said. the final 1.1 innings of the game. "He definitely did an outstanding job of using his changeup and we did a really poor job of adjust- Making the Jayhawks' 14 strikeouts on offense even more appalling was the fact that four of those strikeouts came in one inning and they didn't earn a single walk. Kansas' luck at the plate didn't change when Wichita State turned to its bullpen. Shocker left-hander Logan Hoch struck out six Jayhawks in 2.2 innings while right-hander Tyler Fleming struck out three in Sophomore left-hander Shaeffer Hall got the start for Kansas and held Wichita State at bay the first two innings. However, Wichita State knocked back-to-back doubles offensive performances of the year after the first inning." Price said. 10 off Hall to lead off the third and get on the board. Senior center fielder Casev Larson slides into "That was one of our worst After loading the bases, the Shockers added two more runs in the inning on RBI-ground outs to tie the score, 3-3. Senior shortstop Erik Morrison (10) clashes as finished 1-4 at bat with two RBI in a 7-loss to Wkc Sophomore right-hander Brett Bollman (2-2) relieved Hall in the top of the fifth and got into a similar jam. Before he recorded his first out, the Shockers juiced the bases on him. wouldn't relinquish. "It's kind of our luck the last couple weeks," Hall said. "Our pitching hasn't been very good and our bats have been pretty good and tonight it was just kind of the other way around. But, we have a good ball club here and I think we're going to come together." Domino's Pizza 14 Largest selection of tournament gear!

Smyth pitched three innings and gave up four hits and two runs against the Shockers in a 7-3 loss at Hogtland Ballpark. The Jayhawks face off today against Saint Mary at 6 p.m. BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com As far as rivals go, most Jayhawk fans immediately think of Kansas State and Missouri. For the baseball team, another in-state rival traveled to Lawrence Saturday night to do battle with the Jayhawks. The Wichita State Shockers brought a No. 8 ranking to town, along with a 17-game winning streak, and defeated the Jayhawks 7-3 Tuesday night. The layhawks, meanwhile, have been on a three-game slide and dropped to 1-5 in Big 12 play. Slow starts have plagued the team, with their pitchers giving up massive amounts of runs. So how did the Jayhawks remedy this problem? They got a good start. With run support, Hall went on to throw another good inning in the second and cruised into the third unharmed. "Getting ahead was the main reason I was successful," Hall said. "The first inning I had three strike-outs and got the momentum on our side. I was locating my fastball and getting ahead of hitters." With trouble lurking, the Shockers finally found their stride and managed to get three runs on three hits in the top of the third. Remaining poised, Hall went out Sophomore pitcher Shaeffer Hall shocked the Shockers and threw a shutout first inning by striking out the side. The last time the Jayhawks did that was six days ago, when Hall graced the side. Hall entered Tuesday's game with a 2-1 record and a 4.11 ERA. Hall's six starts this year tie with those of other Big 12 leaders. Following the first inning, not only did the Shockers have zero runs, but the Jayhawks were up three runs. and retired Wichita State in order to end the fourth. Finishing the day with four strikeouts and giving up three runs on three hits, Hall put the Jayhawks in a good position. The good start is something the Jayhawks will need to build upon, and the defeat by a top-10 team in the nation may give the Jayhawks the confidence they need. "We put a pitch limit on him today so he can be ready to go this weekend," coach Ritch Price said. "He could be in the ballgame early this weekend, and the plan was for him to go four innings with his number of pitches." The Jayhawks will challenge Saint Mary at 6 p.m., and sophomore pitcher Wally Marceliel will be the next one to toe the rubber and attempt a strong start.

CHICAGO — Roger Ebert will resume writing reviews later this month, but will not rejoin his syndicated TV show because he's still unable to speak. In a letter published in Tuesday's Chicago Sun-Times, the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic and co-host of TV's "Ebert & Rooper" said surgery in January ended in complications, Ebert, 65, said he was looking forward to his annual film festival starting April 23.

However, the seats did not overlook our hometown heroes, but the opposing bench. I saw an opportunity. Many see heckling as a negative thing. People say, "Corban, they're just men putting in a hard day's work" or "Give them a break, they have enough pressure put on them as it is." Frankly, hypothetical detractor, I don't buy it. When I slap down $20 (and in some cases, much more) to see grown men make hefty paychecks for hitting small rawhide balls and jogging lazily, I am also purchasing my right to criticize their move. It's in the Constitution. Somewhere toward the end. Miguel Tejada, the previous year's American League MVP, strutted up to the plate and immediately popped out in foul territory a few baby steps left of third base. As Tejada was slinking back to the dugout, the very dugout I was sitting atop like a Supreme Court Justice, I hurled a deliciously sly "MVP!" his way. Let me put his response this way: If they had aired the exchange on TBS, Tejadawould've said, "Flunk you, britches." I don't know which was more disturbing: the vitriolic eye contact or the fact that a prominent, supposedly "professional" athlete couldn't handle a comment from a freckled, lanky teenager whose athletic prospects are minimal at best. I felt empowered. Look back to the 1920s and '30s. Baseball was king. It was our soccer before the whole Champions League exploded. Sure, many of the best players to have ever pulled on long, ungody uncomfortable wool socks weren't allowed to play, but hey! Baseball still reigned until the late 1960s. Now we are a segmented sports culture with too many professional sports to consume. Even at this University, we can't handle two successful sports teams at once. Remember when our football team was in the home stretch of their historic season? Hardly anyone went to the Kansas vs. Arizona basketball game. Heckling is the answer. Sports fans, we pay outrageous sums just to attend sporting events. Go to StubHub.com or Ace Sports on 23rd, and you'll know what I'm talking about. Heckling, something that has gone on since cavemen first slammed rocks into other rocks, can revive the great national pastime of baseball by injecting some solid, truly invasive heckling. My younger brother, Clark, is a tremendous heckler. He has an incredible knack for discovering most obscure gaffes that many Major Leaguers stuff into the far recesses of their cranium. Prom dates? Unbelievably racist MySpaces? All of these things are fair game to him. When heckling becomes our greatest national sport, I will be on the sidelines when Clark wins the Golden Notepad at the first Heckling National Tournament. Last week I was in Las Vegas, and I ran into Pete Rose, who hangs out in Sin City a lot, apparently (a presence that I'm sure helps his Hall of Fame chances). He was signing baseballs for the low, low price of $99 a pop. I offered him $10 for a hug and flashed me an eye-rolling grimace. What a guy. People say, "Professional athletes are just like us," but they're not. Professional athletes have been trained to act like this since the first time they ever showed a flash of prodigious talent. This makes for some seriously imbalanced, eccentric people. The generosity of Pete Rose. Michael Vick. I once read that Andy Roddick was scared to tears by a guy wearing a bunny suit.

COMMENTARY Guns don't kill people; recent House bill does Max Rinkel WHAT? THEY'RE FOR HUNTING. ROSSSTEWART Want to legally own a sawed-off shotgun or silencer for the multiple firearms you own? If your answer is no, then call your state legislator. If your answer is yes, don't do anything because I'm too scared that you'll shoot me. There are always the two sides to gun control. No one will ever be able to persuade one to the other or vice versa. I could care less about convincing gun nuts to agree with me. My goal is merely to crush this bill with the help of other people who, like myself, really don't want to be shot silently or with a sawed-off shotgun. A State House bill passed March 28 that allows citizens to legally own machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and silencers. The bill is an answer to a bill that went through the Kansas Senate that made it a felony to remove serial numbers on a firearm. Usually I'd crack a joke of some sort, but I find that terribly hard to do at this time. If you want to own a machine gun, fine. You have rights. You can blow a robber or possibly your child away in the middle of the night trying to protect your home. None of these items are needed in a normal individual's life. I can understand the machine gun. But when it comes to sawed off shotguns and silencers, I take a different stance. A normal citizen needs neither of these items. Cool. Do it. Live it up. If you want to collect sawed-off shotguns, I'm sorry, but I draw the line there. This is not the movie "Evil Dead." If you want to shoot zombies up close, use a machine gun or another gun. No one needs a sawed-off shotgun. Gun enthusiasts are probably calling me a leftist Castro wannabe, and that's fine. The idea of legalizing silencers makes no sense whatsoever. I'm sorry for "impeding on your rights." I just don't want someone to shoot me. Is that too much to ask? Guns are loud and this is good because people should know when a gun is fired. Guns aren't used in everyday life for little things. I don't cook a burrato for two minutes with a gun, like I do with a microwave oven. People don't need to know when I use a microwave oven, because microwave ovens aren't made to kill people. If you agree with me, please call your state representative or senator. If you are registered in Lawrence, your state represent is Barbara Ballard and your state senator is Marci Francisco. Their contact information can be found on the Kansas Legislature's Web site at www.kslegislature.org. If guns cooked burritos and didn't kill people, I could see the necessity in making them quieter.

The column was admirable and its proposals commendable. To elaborate on the dialogue begun, the full reasoning for the massacres at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois needs to be acknowledged because popular media is not doing so. After each tragic incident, issues of our violent youth, access to firearms, violent media and peer pressure are all blamed or defended by students and parents. One factor continues to escape notice. As Jackson Katz, one of the foremost leaders in the anti-sexism movement, said, "What these school shootings reveal is not a crisis in youth culture or among young people, but a crisis in masculinity." Men commit the overwhelming majority of school shootings. He notes that if the killers were all female, the issue of gender would be at the forefront of public discussion. But now, these men and their struggle with the rigid guidelines of a masculine culture go unnoticed. how to submit Although all of the concerns listed above are undoubtedly relevant, if they were the "primary issue," as Katz puts it, then we would see similar aggression in women — who are subject to the same violent stimuli and exclusive peer environments — not only in our high schools and colleges, but also in society in the form of assault, rape and violent crime. Submit letters to the editor at kansanopdesk@gmail.com. Comment on all Kansanstories at kansan.com. The pressures unique to men are built upon the construction of the ideal male: strong, independent, aggressive and heterosexual. Men who do not conform to these arbitrary guidelines are subject to ridicule and humiliation by their association with two groups: women and homosexuals. It is becoming apparent that masculinity is not defined by what it is, but rather by what it is not. As a society, we need to ask ourselves, do we really want notions of manhood to be so firmly rooted in sexism and homophobia? the perpetrators were subjected to the extremes of masculine pressure. How did they deal with this? Stereotypes and prejudice are being actively — if subtly — built into our lives and behaviors. We need to vigorously deconstruct false notions of acceptability and open our minds to the unique and valuable differences among us. That means recognizing that women are strong and independent, men are vulnerable and intimate, and sexual preference is no more an indicator of individual virtue than the color of skin. To be a true man, we are taught, means to swallow our emotions, toughen up and carry on. With no viable outlet for frustration, isolation and humiliation, these young men tragically turned to the one acceptable reaction for the genuinely masculine: violence. For a solution, it is assuredly appropriate to take Anderson's column's words to heart, "What is needed is a radical approach: a counter-culture tearing down the walls that an apathetic world forces us to build." I would add that the world is anything but apathetic. In cases of violence from Columbine to Northern Illinois.

Rodriguez makes $2.8 million a year. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED DREC ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez makes more this year than his hometown Florida Marlins. Boosted by his new deal with the New York Yankees, A-Rod tails the major league baseball salary list at $28 million, according to a study of contract terms by The Associated Press. The 33 players on the Marlins' opening-day roster and disabled list total $21.8 million. "The Marlins? It's amazing," Rodriguez said. "And they still seem to find a way to be very competitive. They have a great pool of talent; they made some unbelievable trades, so they have great personnel people. To win two championships in 11 years, that's really admirable, and I'm very proud of that organization, being from Miami." For the first time in baseball history, the average salary topped the $3 million mark. The 855 players on opening-day rosters and the DL averaged $3.15 million, up 7.1 percent from last year's starting average of $2.94 million. Florida's highest earner doesne even make the average. Pitcher Kevin Gregg tops the Marlins at $2.5 million. "My best friend came into town, and he mentioned something about Johan Santana making $15 million more than our five starters combined," Marlins catcher Matt Treanor said. "It's something to laugh at, but at the same time, it is what it is. Those guys put on the uniform like us. When it comes time to start the game, it doesn't matter how much money the Yankees or whoever make." Treanor's friend was exaggerating a bit — Santana makes $12 million more than Florida's rotation. Still, the Marlins' payroll was less than half that of the No. 29 team, Tampa Bay ($43.8 million). "They've won a championship more recently than we have as an organization. So there's many different ways to skin a cat," said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, whose team lost to Florida in the 2003 World Series. BE A CHAMPION. "Alex earned that contract in the negotiation. Right now, the Marlins are in a different place. But they've got a stadium coming on board and they're going in the right direction, and I think they've already proven they know how to build something."

The Yankees, not surprisingly, topped the payroll list at $209.1 million, and A-Rod was No. 1 in the majors for the eighth straight year.

The Tigers' payroll at the end of last season was 12th at $98.5 million. The final 2007 average, as calculated by the players' association, was $2.82 million. WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL Freshman Moore named to All-America team ASSOCIATED PRESS Connecticut sensation Maya Moore became only the second freshman selected to The Associated Press women's All-America team, an honor her coach hoped would not prove a burden during the NCAA tournament. Moore was joined on the squad Tuesday by repeat All-Americans Candace Parker of Tennessee and Courtney Paris of Oklahoma and first-timers Sylvia Fowles of LSU and Candice Wiggins of Stanford. To avoid further pressure, Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma didn't want Moore to know of her selection until after the Huskies played Rutgers in the Greensboro Regional final Tuesday night. "I think given the circumstances, given the spotlight she plays under, I just think she's matured beyond her years and I don't know if any kid has had an impact on a team that she's had," Auriemma said. "I think the term 'All-American' back in the day meant more than just a player." Moore helped lead the Huskies to the Big East regular-season UConn and conference tournament titles. She was the first freshman — male or female — to win conference player of the year. ASSOCIATED PRESS Moore broke the conference and school fresh- Connecticut's Maya Moore brings the ball down the court during the second half against Rutgers in a women's college basketball game in Hartford, Conn., on March 3. Moore scored 19 points in the game, led the Huskies to the Big East regular season and tournament titles, and Tuesday became only the second freshman selected to The Associated Press women's All-America team. Parker will be graduate in May and most likely will be the first pick in the WNBA draft on April 9. the 50-member national media panel that votes in the weekly Top 25. The voting was done before the start of the NCAA tournament. "If you look at what she's done for this program, and how she conducts herself, she's every-one's All-American." GENO AURIEMMA UCONN women's basketball coach Parker, also a junior, received 250 points and was the only unanimous first-team choice among man scoring record and has averaged 22 points and 10.3 rebounds in the Huskies' first three NCAA tournament games. "Wow, that's a special group to be a part of," said Paris, a junior who extended her double-double streak to 92 games this season. "It's a huge honor." The only other freshman All-American was Paris, a first-teamer for the third straight season. Paris is only the third player to be a three-time All-American, joining Chamique Holdswclaw of Tennessee and Alana Beard of Duke. "If you look at what she's done for this program, and how she conducts herself, she's everyone's All-American," Auriemma said. "I feel like I tried hard to come back and be better this year," she said. Wiggins and Fowles also will be picked high in the WNBA draft. The second team had an ACC flavor, with conference player of the year Crystal Langhorne and Maryland teammate Kristi Toliver leading the way. North Carolina senior Erla Larkins, Louisville junior Angel McCoughtry and Oklahoma State sophomore Andrea Riley complete the second team. The third team included Connecticut teammates Tina Charles and Renee Montgomery. They were joined by Rutgers' Epiphanny Prince, Middle Tennessee State's Amber Holt, and Utah's Leilani Mitchell. The preseason All-America team was Paris, Parker, Wiggins, Fowles and Langhorne. Joining Paris and Parker on last year's first team was Lindsey Harding of Duke, Ivory Latta of North Carolina and Jessica Davenport of Ohio State.

DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas 785-864-4900 www.doleinstitute.org THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 2008 SPORTS13B PGA Woods, Ochoa favored to win championships --she missed the par-3 17th green, whiffed on a wedge, took three putts once she got on the green and took quadruple bogey that effectively knocked her out of the tournament. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. The comparisons between Tiger Woods and Lorena Ochoa are inevitable, and mostly accurate. Woods gave the PGA Tour a two-week head start in Hawaii, made his debut at the Buick Invitational and won by eight shots. Ochoa also skipped the first two LPGA Tour events in Hawaii, started in Singapore at the HSBC Champions and won by 11. Woods has won 18 times on the PGA Tour since the start of the 2006 season. Ochoa has 16 victories. They are No. 1 in their respective world ranking by more than double the margin of No. 2. And over the next two weeks, both are overwhelming favorites to win the first major championship of the year. But that's where the parallel paths come to a fork in the road. Woods has four green jackets from the Masters, not to mention a career full of positive vibes at the majors. He captured the career Grand Slam at age 24, before he had completed four years on the PGA Tour. Despite her dominance, Ochoa arrived at the Kraft Nabisco Championship to face some demons. She loves Mission Hills, where she first played as a teenager. The affection she gets in the California desert rivals that of her native Mexico, with someone waving a red, white and green flag on just about every fairway. Ochoa sheepishly mentioned that she asked tournament officials for 100 tickets for her family and friends, and she was willing to pay for them. "I have great memories, and I have a lot of support from people that comes from Mexico and cheer for me," Ochoa said Tuesday. "It's just someplace that feels good. I'm ready to have a good week. I've been close a few times, and hopefully, this is the year." She is being modest about close calls. Ochoa should have won this major by now. Two years ago, she tied an LPGA major record with a 10-under 62 in the opening round and still had a three-shot lead going into Sunday until a meltdown on the back nine. Ochoa recovered with an eagle on the final hole to get into a playoff against Karrie Webb, who won on the first extra hole. Ochoa was tied for the lead going into the weekend last year and looked poised as ever until Moments like that are what makes winning even harder. What might help this year is no longer having to answer questions about winning a major. Even after she replaced Annika Sorenstam at No.1 in the world at the end of the 2006 season, Ochoa had a reputation of being unable to win the big one. There was the U.S. Women's Open at Cherry Hills in 2005, when she duck-hooked a tee shot into the water on No. 18 and made 8. The two failures at Mission Hills. Last year at Pine Needles, she again was poised to win the U.S. Women's Open until she couldn't find a fairway over the final five holes. But she has been a different player since capturing her first major in the Women's British Open at St. Andrews, an historic afternoon in so many ways. That was the start of a stretch in which Ochoa has won seven times in 12 starts, a winning percentage that rivals Woods. Comparing men's and women's golf is about as practical as comparing generations, but there are similarities worth noting. Woods can finish a brilliant season and spend the next few months figuring out a way to get better. Ochoa worked harder than ever during her long offseason, especially on her putting. And she is much longer off the tee, even reaching the 310-yard 14th hole Sunday at the Safeway International, which she won by seven shots. "You're never there," Woods often says. And when Ochoa was asked where she could improve, she mentioned everything from learning to rest to communicating with her caddie. She finished at 22 under par last week at Superstition Mountain and was irritated by three or four "dumb bogeys," But she was stumped when asked what Woods had that she wanted, besides power off the tee and a $100 million annual income. "I think we all want to know what he has inside his head," she said. "It would be hard to find. But I'm happy for what I have." What she could use are a few more majors. Particularly this one. HUET 38 A capitals RDK League-leading goal ties Southeast CANADIENS 2, SENATORS 0 NHL ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin scored his league-leading 63rd goal and got all sorts of help Tuesday night in Washington's 4-1 victory over Carolina, a result that left the teams tied atop the Southeast Division at 90 points with two games to go in the season. Alexander Semin, Brooks Laich and Matt Cooke scored before Ovechkin's insurance goal, Sergei Fedorov and Mike Green contributed two assists apiece, and Cristobal Huet made 21 saves. Add it all up, and the Capitals were able to celebrate a five-game winning streak for the first time since March 2001. They've also won nine of their past 10 games. Washington ranked 30th of 30 NHL teams in late November, about a quarter of the way through the season, when minor league coach Bruce Boudreau replaced the fired Glen Hanlon. And Washington still stood only 14th of 15 Eastern Conference clubs at the season's halfway point. Now, though, the Capitals have a chance to reach the playoffs for the first time since the 2002-03 season, sitting one point out of eighth place in the East. If they can pass the Hurricanes — as of now, Carolina holds the tiebreaker advantage — the Capitals would win their first division championship since 2000-01. Martin Gerber made his 15th straight start for the Senators, stopping 24 shots. DEVILS 2, ISLANDERS 1, OT The Canadiens have as many points as Pittsburgh, which leads the Eastern Conference by virtue of its 45 wins, one more than Montreal. Mathieu Dandenault and Andrei Kostitsyn also scored for Montreal, which secured the Northeast Division title with 100 points. The Devils strengthened their OTTAWA — Carey Price made 32 saves for his third shutout and Alex Kovalev scored his 35th goal as Montreal claimed its first division title in 16 years. ASSOCIATED PRESS Washington Capitals 'Alex Ovechkin, left, of Russia, celebrates after scoring his 63rd goal with goalie Cristobal Hurt of France against the Carolina Hurricanes during the third period of a NHL basketball game in Washington on Tuesday. The teams are 4-1. The sixth-place Senators have a one-point lead over Boston and Philadelphia, who currently hold the final two playoff spots in the conference. Ottawa is also only two points ahead of ninth-place Washington.

Band members experience the difficult ties of balancing school and the tournament. Final Four schedule challenges performers BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com The basketball team isn't the only group struggling to juggle NCAA tournament trips and academics this postseason. Members of the Spirit Squad and men's basketball pep band also balance the two at tournament time. "The hardest part is scheduling and keeping track of where I need to be," said senior cheer squad member Maxx Krueger. "Staying organized and keeping up on communication is the hardest." Krueger will have an exam proctored for one of his classes while he is in San Antonio for the Final Four. He said that during his time with the cheer squad, he learned that balancing cheerleading and academics required getting class work done ahead of time. Krueger said the Spirit Squad typically flew to tournament sites the day before Kansas' first game, but the squad left for San Antonio this morning to attend pep rallies. After this week, squad members will miss their fourth school day. They will miss a fifth if Kansas advances to the championship game. Band members face the same challenges of balancing school and the NCAA tournament. The pep band usually leaves "The bus is the best place." Heilman said. "I say I'll do it in the hotel, but that never happens." on a bus the day before Kansas' first game of the weekend, but members will travel today and miss their fourth school day. Freshman band member Shelton Heilman said he used the time on the bus to study for classes. Athens Heilman and Krueger agree that keeping teachers informed about their activities is vital to staying afloat in classes. "Usually they're understanding and they'll help you out," Krueger said. "They'll tell you to just turn in your assignments when you get back." Heilman said that some teachers were more than happy to accommodate for band members' busy schedules. "They're all usually really supportive," Heilman said. "My English teacher is really excited for me because I have this opportunity." Kruger said the biggest struggle for some Spirit Squad members is scheduling study time during the trips. Kruger said members with upcoming tests or papers would do their work either "Tournament time is just one more thing to add to our busy schedule, and you can lose track easily of your studies," Krueger said. "If you don't make plans to study, it can hurt your grades." KANSAN FILE PHOTO The University of Kansas Spirit Squad will arrive in San Antonio today to attend NCAA tournament pep rallies. The Spirit Squad includes the cheer squad, Rock Chalk Dancers and mascots. on the plane or in the hotel. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the academic support staff that travels with the basketball team was also available for the Spirit Squad at tournament sites. He also said Spirit Squad members were not obligated to attend tournament games if they needed time off for classes. Edited by Katherine Loeck Basketball players balance tournament with academic responsibilities in San Antonio BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Ward might be a forgotten man in March, but as a senior associate director for academic and career counseling, Ward's role within the Athletics Department is to see that the basketball team doesn't lose sight of school during all the distractions of March. When the Kansas basketball team goes on the road, Scott Ward's hotel room becomes an unofficial team library — a quiet place to study, finish a paper or make up an exam. "I think it's a challenge for any student to stay focused on their studies," Ward said. "Obviously, there's some pretty big things going on with these guys." Kansas fans might have Final Four fever, and the basketball team may have spent the last three weekends playing basketball on national television, but there's still an overriding reality: Kansas' players are student athletes. So while a chunk of the student body might have skipped class on Monday to recover from the Final Four celebration, Kansas' players had to be in class. Jon Goering/KANSAN BROOKLYN Senior guard Russell Robinson answers questions during press conference Saturday. Robinson must often spend time on the road working on school work to stay caught up on his classes. While Kansas doesn't play until Saturday night, the team left on Wednesday for San Antonio. The extra time gives the players an opportunity to practice at the venue where they will play, handle media responsibilities on the day before the game and let their bodies recover fully from the traveling. Ward said that besides the obvious mental distraction of preparing for Saturday night's National Semi-Final game against North Carolina, the players have another huge obstacle: travel. With the way the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments are set up, Kansas will have been on the road four straight weeks when the NCAA tournament is done. The team did get a reprieve from school during spring break, but that schedule still adds up to approximately 8-12 days of missed class time. "Just because we're playing the tournament, you can't forget about school," senior guard Roderick Stewart said. "Because if you do, you're going to be in a hole so deen." "There is an awful lot of missed class from the Big 12 Tournament on through March," Ward said. "KU professors are great, and they understand that the players need to do everything and get the work in on time, but they are understanding with the travel and that sort of thing." This is where Ward comes in. He oversees the team's academic progress during the entire year. But in March it's his job to make sure Kansas' players stay focused on school during the rigors of March. "There's still papers due," Ward said. "We'll try to get them into a quiet room to work on a paper." Sometimes exams may fall while Kansas is on the road. Ward said he'll proctor the exam, following the guidelines of the KU instructor who wrote the test. According to Ward, Kansas has four seniors — Jeremy Case graduated last year who are on track to graduate in May. This March is crucial for maintaining that. Stewart, along with Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun and Russell Robinson, is one of those seniors. Stewart said he does as many assignments online as he can while Kansas is on the road. "We're here, but there's definitely time for homework too," Stewart said. A Edited by Samuel Lamb 2A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2008 quote of the dav "Remember the Alamo!"

All legislation heard at Senate must first pass through two committees, which were held last Wednesday. There will be no Senate next Wednesday. SENATE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST VETO Senate overturned one of the student body president's vetoes at last night's meeting. Last week Hannah Love, Student Senate President, vetoed three pieces of legislation: a resolution to ask KU Information Technology to look at Gmail, a bill to give the Student Senate Executive Committee oversight over the Multicultural Education Fund Board and a bill to create a sustainability fee from existing fees. Students voted to create the $1.50 sustainability fee, which in its vetoed form took S.25 from the Women's and Non-Revenue Sports fee. Senators wanted to get the sustainability legislation through Senate this week because typically legislation is not heard at the Joint Senate meeting. Studie Red Corn, Shawnee senior who helped write the bill, came to Senate with another bill to replace the vetoed one. Love advocated overturning her veto in favor of the new legislation, but the new legislation could not be heard because of a rule.The bill is now in effect in its vetoed form. The Gmail veto and Multicultural Education Fund veto were not overturned. TRANSPORTATION, SUA FEES INCREASED Senate voted to increase student fees by $6.70. They voted to give a $6.20 raise to the campus transportation fee, or KU on Wheels, and a $.50 raise to the SUA fee. May Davis, transportation coordinator, said KU on Wheels needed the raise to keep up current services, but that the night campus express would be removed. Senators raised the SUA fee to deal with inflation and rising booking costs for entertainers. Senators voted to put a $21.50 fee raise for KU on Wheels on the Senate ballot on April 9 and 10. A raise of $1.50 would go to SafeRide to increase its services, and $20 would go to allow unrestricted access to the buses. Unrestricted access means there would no longer be a fare or bus pass required to ride. In order for the $21.50 fee increase to be valid, 10 percent of students must vote. SENATE SUPPORTS WET LAND PROTECTION Senate approved a resolution that supports an alternative route for the South Lawrence trafficway so it doesn't cut through the Baker Wetlands. The current plan cuts through the wetlands on a 32nd street route. There are also unmarked graves, which may not follow the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Supporters said cutting through the wetlands would ruin environmental and cultural learning opportunities. They also said that the 32nd street route would have a sound barrier built next to it, which would cut the wetland habitat in half and abandon some species. The group advocated a route south of 32nd street at 42nd street. Brenna Hawlev CIVIL RIGHTS Protesters remember hard work for better life BY WOODY BAIRD ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn.- Joe Warren dropped his head to his hands, sobbing as he remembered back 40 years to the bitter garbage workers strike that drew Martin Luther King Jr. to Memphis — and to his death. Warren, 86, was one of the 1,300 black sanitation workers who walked off the job in 1968 with a strike that tore at the foundation of the city's white-only rule. "They talked to you like you were a dog, and they worked you like a dog," he said, his shoulders trembling. "But I couldn't find a job nowhere else." The 65-day strike for the right to unionize ended with a victory for the workers. But King's assassination stained this Southern city for "It took a decade of growth out of the Memphis regional economy," said David Cissel, a University of Memphis economist. "It was a time of fairly rapid growth in the South, and it was a time when Atlanta and Nashville kind of left us behind ... People just didn't want to associate with us." years, limiting its prosperity and hurting its reputation worldwide. The city's fortunes eventually improved, thanks largely to a young cargo airline named Federal Express that in the early 1980s showed that Memphis could still be a good place to do business. The airline grew into today's FedEx Corp. "It rescued Memphis," Ciscel said. The sanitation strike and King's assassination made clear to blacks and whites alike that "the old plantation mentality had to be dumped," said Michael Honey, author of "Going Down Jericho Road," a history of the Memphis strike and King's struggle for economic justice for the poor. In the 1960s, close to 60 percent of black families in Memphis lived in poverty, The strike began in February 1968 after two sanitation workers were crushed by a trash compactor when they climbed in a garbage truck to get out of the rain. The accident was blamed on faulty equipment, but it inflamed tensions that had festered for years over low wages, poor working conditions and racist treatment of black workers by white superiors. Looking back on the indignities endured by the workers still brings tears to Warren's eyes, but the pain is softened by memories of organizing the strike and taking to the streets under the banner "I Am A Man." "I had a sign on my front and my back," he said, "and I was walking around saying, 'I am a man, I ain't going to be quiet no more.'" Twelve days after King's death, the strike ended with the city council recognizing the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees as the workers' union. The workers got a pay raise of 15 cents an hour, promotions based on seniority and the right to file on-the-job grievances. The National Civil Rights Museum opened at the Lorraine in 1991 after private citizens saved it from foreclosure and demolition. It is now a tourist attraction and a shrine to the civil rights movement. odd news Two minutes doesn't cut it in the bedroom NEW YORK - Maybe men had it right all along: It doesn't take long to satisfy a woman in bed. If that sounds like good news to you, don't cheer too loudly. The time does not count foreplay, and the therapists did rate sexual intercourse that lasts from 1 to 2 minutes as "too short." A survey of sex therapists concluded the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes. The findings, to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, strike at the notion that endurance is the key to a great sex life. The questions were not gender-specific, said Corty (who, it must be noted, is male). But he said prior research has shown that both men and women want foreplay and sexual intercourse to last longer. Researcher Eric Corty said he hoped to ease the minds of those who believe that "more of something good is better, and if you really want to satisfy your partner, you should last forever." Irwin Goldstein, editor of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, cited a four-week study of 1,500 couples in 2005 that found the median time for sexual intercourse was 7.3 minutes. (Women were armed with stopwatches.) It's difficult for both older men and young men to make sexual intercourse last much longer, said Marianne Brandon, a clinical psychologist and director of Wellminds Wellbodies in Annapolis, Md. "There are so many myths in our culture of what other people are doing sexually," Brandon said. "Most people's sex lives are not as exciting as other people think they are." Fifty members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research in the U.S. and Canada were surveyed by Corty, an associate professor of psychology at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, and student Jenay Guardiani. Thirty-four members, or 68 percent, responded, although some said the optimal time depended on the couple. Corty said he hoped to give an idea of what therapists find to be normal and satisfactory among the couples they see. "People who read this will say, 'I last five minutes or my partner lasts 8 minutes,' and say, 'That's OK,' he said. "They will relax a little bit."

Students were to be alerted of the lottery via an e-mail that was sent out by the Athletics Department during spring break, but many students said they did not receive the e-mail and knew nothing of the lottery. Several lottery winners said they did not receive the e-mail either. Marchiony said he was not sure if all students received the e-mail or just students who had purchased the all sports package. S te v e Haen ch en, Overland Park senior and lottery winner, said he did not receive the e-mail, but he knew other people who did. lottery because he entered it last year and won tickets. He said he found the link to enter it this year on the Athletics Department's Web site. Haenchen said he was not surprised to win tickets again this year. "I figured we'd be going to the Final Four, so I took a bet. I don't care. I'll pay whatever it takes." STEVE HAENCHEN Overland Park senior He booked his flight and hotel in November so his trip would be cheaper. Haenchen said he was only slightly worried about ticket prices at that time. Haenchen said he knew about the to the Final Four, so I took "I figured wed be going so I took a bet." Haenchen said. "I don't care. I'll pay whatever it takes." Jennifer Brewer, Leawood senior and lottery winner, said one of her friends sent her the link to enter the lottery. She said she did not think her friend had received the e-mail and like Haenchen, he had found the link on the Athletics Department's Web site. Daniel Wulfkahle, Perry sophomore and lottery winner, said a co-worker who received the e-mail told him about the lottery, but he said most of the people he talked to did not know about the lottery. He said many of his friends found out about the lottery only after he said he was going to the Final Four on his Facebook. Meg O'Brien, Omaha Neb., freshman, said she received the email, but she could not afford the trip, so she did not enter. Jordan Kallas, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior, said the Athletics Department usually did a good job of notifying students about events, but that he did not receive the e-mail. He said he did not know about the lottery until a classmate mentioned he had won. Kallas said that he was not going to the Final Four, but that he might have if he had won the lottery. Kallas said he knew about the lottery from years past, but that he did not know when or how to apply. Wulkuhle said before he won the lottery he had already planned on not going to the Final Four. He said he changed his mind only because the Athletics Department had said it would not issue refunds to lottery winners. Tuesday evening the Athletics Department issued another statement saying it would issue refunds, but Daniel said he still go. "I'm still happy that I'm going to go." Wulfkuhle said. "I could have canceled my ticket now, but I already got myself all pumped up for it." Brewer said since she had won the tickets, she had received four e-mails from people she did not know asking her to contact them if she was not going to use her ticket. She said she had also received e-mails from students she did not know asking if she wanted to carpool with them to San Antonio. HEALTH —Edited by Sasha Roe Student helps fundraising event raise awareness for disease BY MARY SORRICK msorick@kansan.com Kelly Mesi, Chicago senior, was 21 years old when the first symptom of multiple sclerosis hit. It was in May of last year, after spending the spring studying in Paris and Florence, Italy, when the vision in Mesi's left eye began to fade to black. By October, back at the University of Kansas, Mesi had developed double vision. "My eyes were jumping up and down and I couldn't stop them," she said. off-again vision loss. That is when doctors officially diagnosed her with multiple sclerosis, or MS. The disease was causing Mesi's immune system to attack the nerve fibers between her spinal cord and brain, resulting in her on-again, And, on April 12, she also will be one of more than 100 people participating in the 20th anniversary of Lawrence's Walk MS. Walk MS, held by the National MS Society, raises money each year to support national MS research and local programs such as selfhelp groups and MS education programs. Jenny Oxandale, branch manager of the National MS Society, said Lawrence was second throughout Kansas only to Topeka in fundraising dollars from Walk MS, which was also held in cities such as Manhattan and Salina. Oxandale said last year's fundraising total reached $21,460, a number she planned to beat this year with Mesi's help. With more than a week left until Walk MS, Mesi has raised $4,694, which is more than any other walk participate has raised. She had sent e-mails to friends and family asking for donations, but Mesi said she was stunned by the extent of how much people were willing to give. "I was speechless," Mesi said. "I just wanted to raise $1,000, and I'm almost at $5,000. I'm ecstatic about that." Fundraising for MS research was especially important to Mesi, not just because she was diagnosed with the disease, but because scientists still don't have a cure. "It affects women ages 20 to 35 the most," Mesi said. "Think about all the moms and daughters and girlfriends that are approaching that age." In the Kansas City area alone, Mesi said more than 5,500 people had MS. The type of MS Mesi has, called relapsing-remitting, means she fully recovers from occasional symptoms like vision loss, but she said the disease has caused a constant tingling in her hands and feet. 12 It is a continual reminder of the way her life has changed since doctors diagnosed her in October. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Mesi now adheres to a completely new diet devoid of any coffee, beer, white starches or trans fats. She must also inject herself with an intramuscular shot every other Monday night. The experience has motivated her to do what she can to support MS research. "Donating money or just spread awareness is huge," Mesi said, Kelly Mesi, Chicago senior, recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, is raising awareness and money for MS. Lawrence's Walk MS, a fundraising event, will be held on April 12. "because all these people are living without a cure." link to her home page located in this story on Kansan.com.

They are for Pride Week for the city of Lawrence, as well as the University. I was asked the other day what pride is like in Lawrence, and before I could respond, the person asked if the week consisted of "a bunch of sex, glitter and gay men dancing in the street." Another person asked, "If you get gay pride week, when do I get straight pride week?" Answer: Those other 51 weeks a year. These statements forced me to look at the world around me. Do people really think this? If so, how many other horribly untrue stereotypes are out there? I decided that in celebration of Pride Week, I would compile a list of 10 common misconceptions concerning the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. 1. Not all lesbians are like Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell or Melissa Etheridge. Nor do lesbians have to like those celebrities. 2. Transgender is not a disease, syndrome of illness or a sickness. It is a lifestyle. 3. Not all drunk girls who make out with each other are lesbians, and not all lesbiens get drunk and make out with each other. 5. "Will and Grace." "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and the "L Word" cannot and should not be the only representation of LGBT communities. Not all of us watch those shows. 4. Not all gay men hit on straight men. You are not that good looking, get over yourself. 6. Straight men, making fun of that gay guy in your math class in front of the girl you like will not get you play. You should know that behind every great woman there is a hard working gay. 7. Bisexuals are not greedy. There are people out there that actually like both sexes. 10. Our community is not only comprised of glitter, fairy wings, flannel or sexual confusion but also love, self respect, integrity and pride. 9. No, I do not know your other gay friend Jeff. I guess I did not meet him at our weekly "Look, I'm Gay" meeting. 8. Lesbians are lesbians because they like women. Stop thinking that if they had sex with you that you can "turn them." Christopher Thomas, Junior in secondary education from Overland Park editorials around the nation Does America know where it sends nukes The story would almost be amusing — if it wasn't so deadly serious. A red-faced President Bush last week told Chinese President Hu Jintao that America had made a "mistake" in accidentally shipping sensitive nuclear-warhead components to Taiwan. Four electrical nose-cone fuses were mislabeled and sent to Taiwan as part of a fall 2006 shipment of helicopter batteries, of all things. Defense officials say they only discovered the fuses were missing last week, when Taiwan alerted them of the error — despite the department's practice of conducting quarterly inventory reviews. And that raises a harrowing question: Is anyone actually in charge of America's nuclear systems? ... It was only last August, after all, that a B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads before flying from North Dakota to Louisiana — a goof that ultimately cost at least five Air Force officers their jobs Um, oops? For painfully obvious reasons, of course, this kind of sloppiness is absolutely unacceptable. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered a full inventory of all American nuclear weapons and materials as well as an assessment of the procedures used to keep track of them. Seems like a no-brainer. Let's just hope he stays on it. —New York Post March 31 editorial F FREE FOR ALL To contribute to Free For All, visit Kansan.com or call 785-864-0500.

MARY 13-0 PAGE 68 PAGE 68 WWW.KANSAN.COM WOMEN'S BASKETBALL SEASON IN REVIEW PAGE 8B THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2008 >> COMMENTARY PAGE1B NO RESERVATIONS KU fan still tries to catch games while in Iraq BY B.J. RAINS BJRAINS@KANSAN.COM It's been a tough year for Cesar Millan. The '97 Kansas graduate is a Captain in the United States Army and is currently stationed in Rhamadi, Iraq. As a diehard Kansas fan, Millan has missed out on one of the best seasons in the history of Kansas athletics. KAN DAVID DIDSON 30 "At first, especially when the football season started, I was really, really disappointed," Millan said. "I was just so disappointed that I couldn't be there because years like this just don't come around. Things just aligned for us." Rhamadi is nine hours ahead of Lawrence, meaning a 1 p.m. game starts at 10 p.m. in Iraq. A 7 p.m. primetime game begins at 4 a.m. Still, Millan stays up late or wakes up early to watch as many Jayhawk games as he can on the Armed Forces Network. "The 7 or 8 oclock games are not a problem, they are easy to watch because I just wake up an hour or two earlier than normal," Millan said. "They are the easiest. It's the ones earlier in the day, that start in the afternoon at one or whatever, that cause me some problems and force me to miss most of them." Millan spends plenty of time on the internet each day, reading kusports. com and newspaper Web sites such as those of the University Daily Kansan and the Kansas City Star to stay up to date with everything going on with the football and basketball teams. Quiet guard, fierce battle cry But because he is the lone Jayhawk in a unit filled with Missouri Tigers fans, Millan has trouble finding anyone willing to talk Kansas sports with him these days. "None of them even went to Mizzou." Millan said. "But like all Mario Chalmer drives to the basket against Davidson Sunday in KU9-59-57 victory, displaying his versatile ability to both shoot from outside and get to the hoop on the inside. Chalmers may be a quiet player, but his teammates know him as a leader on and off the court. KANSAN File Photo SEE RAINS ON PAGE 3B Enigmatic guard deals strong game playful personality BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com For a few fleeting moments after Kansas clinched its spot in the Final Four with a last-minute victory against Davidson, Mario Chalmers stood alone. With his shiny white Regional Champions T-shirt covering his game jersey, and a Kansas Final Four hat worn slightly askew, Chalmers turned from his Ford Field locker and gazed around Kansas' locker room. The few moments of solitude treated Chalmers just fine. After all, Chalmers admits he isn't much of a talker. He doesn't offer up philosophical thoughts on basketball like Russell Robinson is prone to do. He doesn't reminisce about deeply personal memories like Darnell Jackson either. "I don't try to boast, I don't try to brag too much," Chalmers said. "I just keep quiet." By all accounts, Chalmers is a tough guy to get to know. But he actually isn't, according to the guys who know him best. Ask sophomore Darrell Arthur, his roommate of two years, or senior Rodrick Stewart, and you'll hear about a different side of Kansas' junior shooting guard. You'll hear about the guy who comes out of his shell during a game of cards. The guy who continually rips on teammate Brandon Rush for having a crooked arm and teases Matt Kleinmann for having the biggest hat size on the team. "He loves to play around, he's one or the most joking guys on the team," Stewart said. "He's just so comfortable around the guys." Chalmers may not be the most outgoing individual on the Kansas team. But Chalmers is about to be introduced to the nation this weekend. Chalmers was an AP Honorable Mention All-American this season, and this Final Four is stocked with talented guards — freshman Derrick Rose from Memphis, sophomore Ty Lawson from North Carolina and junior Darren Collison from UCLA immediately come to mind. --- If Kansas wants to win its third national championship in school history, Kansas' vocally reluctant shooting guard might have to be the best guard in San Antonio. GROWING UP IN THE LAST FRONTIER Alaska isn't exactly a mecca for high school hoops. The harsh winters and sparse population put Alaska at a natural disadvantage. But with a population close to 600,000 people. Alaska has produced nearly as many NBA players as the state of Kansas during the past 10 years. Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz grew up in Juneau, and Trajan Langdon, a native of Anchorage and nicknamed the Alaskan Assassin, played three seasons for the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this decade.

Nearly six months later, those players will have to face basketball players whose star power blings as bright as the kind they pretended to have so long ago. Yes, they are. North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough stands out among all the "The strength of our team is balance, and if you're going to make a negative of it, the weakness of our team is balance." BILL SELF Men's basketball coach Memphis, UCLA and North Carolina, the other three teams in the Final Four, boast five first, second or third team All-Americans among them. Kansas doesn't stars. He's already been named National Player of the Year by Sports Illustrated, averaged 23 points and 10.4 boards a game and earned the nickname "Psycho T" for his intensity. Hansbrough was joined on the All-American first team by UCLA's Kevin Love and Memphis' Chris Rose, a freshman, got third team billing, but many think he's the reason Memphis was able to jump from the Elite Eight status Douglas-Roberts. Love and Douglas-Roberts each have their point guard on the All-American third team:Darren Collison for the Bruins and Derrick Rose for the Tigers. for the past two seasons to the Final Four. His coach, John Calipari, remembered how in an earlier game against USC this season, Rose willed the Tigers to win. "He just stepped out of it," Calipari said in a teleconference, "and said I'm going to get a block. I'm going to get a steal. I'm going to go get a rebound above the rim and I'm going to get an assist and we're going to win.' That's what he did, and we won. Some guys think 'well I am going to step it up and I'm gonna score now,' but you know that's not how he plays." Rose will probably be the No. 2 pick in this year's NBA Draft if he declares. Love and Collison are supposed to join him in the lottery if they enter, and Hansbrough and Douglas-Roberts should go in the first round if they skip their senior season. In addition to Collision and Love, UCLA's Russell Westbrook could be among the top 10 picks. Despite all that star power, Russell Robinson doesn't see the Jayhawks as the least favored of the four teams. "I don't feel like we're the underdog," he said. "Part of it has come from us being unselfish and sharing the spotlight and everybody contributing." } SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE 3B 3 --- 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2008 Sportin' Jayhawks Your face HERE during the NCAA tournament The Kansan will publish recent pictures of you and your friends.

The In- ers' interests in mind when he took a personal leave of absence last season. Beyond that, Olson declined to discuss the reasons behind his leave during a televised 48-minute news conference at McKale Center. diana Hoosiers hired Tom Crean as what they hope will be a long-term replacement for Kelvin Sampson. Sampson resigned in February amid a phone-call scandal that included five major allegations from the NCAA. Olson also said assistant coach Kevin O'Neill will not remain on his staff, although O'Neill said last week he planned to honor the second year of a two-year commitment he made to the program. O'Neill led the Wildcats for the season and had been picked as Olson's successor when he retires. The Hoosiers' rabid fans hope that the tinge of NCAA allegations, the craziness that overshadowed basketball for the past six weeks and the disciplinary problems that have continued in the program will all be forgotten now.

I try to talk to them, but they don't want to hear it." Millan, a member of the Army reserves, is a lawyer in St. Louis. He spent a year in Bagdad in 2004 and at age 34. He needs to stay enlisted for four more years to receive his retirement benefits that he is awarded after 20 years of service. Since the current policy allows for soldiers to be deployed only one year out of five, Millan hopes that his time is done. The duty of Millan's unit "I was just so disappointed that I couldn't be there because years like this just don't come around. Things just aligned for us." "Through people who can put our themes and messages out to the population,people that have influence such as the Iraqi security forces. We tell them to support the government and that things are getting better and turning around and not to support al-Qaida or any other terrorist group." is to walk the streets of Rhamadi and convince the Iraqi citizens to accept the current form of government and to encourage them to vote in the upcoming elections. CESAR MILLAN KU alumna stationed in Iraq "We influence the Iraqi populous through media, and at my level, we do it through key communicators," Millan said. Millan is home for two weeks leave and was able to watch the Jayhawks first four wins in the NCAA Tournament with friends at sports bars in both St. Louis and Kansas City. But luck would have it that with the biggest game of the season coming up, Millan leaves Friday at 9 a.m. to head back to Iraq for the remaining three months of his unit's time "Unfortunately, it just didn't work out that way," Millan said. "I got to see everything else." Millan will fly to Atlanta before boarding an Army charter for the 14 hour flight to Kuwait. He then will have another plane ride and a helicopter ride back to Rhamadi. He is worried, however, that he might not be able to find a TV to watch the games. "I'm real concerned with that, it's going to be hit or miss." Millan said. "I'll be very thankful if I can watch it. It's going to be dicey, finding a TV to watch it on. I'll be in between airplanes and just hope I can find a TV" And what will a lifelong Jayhawk fan do if his alma mater is able to win the championship and cut down the nets on Monday night? "I'll be calling everybody on the satellite phone and sending out e-mails," Millan said. "I'll be happy as hell. I want to see us do it. I'm going to have to live it through my friends, find out where everybody was at when we won, how the partying was in Lawrence and San Antonio, and just how excited everyone was. I'll buy my T-shirt when I get back." — Edited by Jared Duncan BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) That's how Kansas defended its seemingly small amount of fame balanced scoring. Everyone knows the stats by now. Seven players have led the team in scoring for at least one game this year, and five players average nine points or more. The Jayhawks have used that balance all season to win 35 games and make it to the Final Four. Sasha Kaun provided a perfect example of how balance can help a team in KU's victory. against Davidson on Sunday. With the starters struggling and playing tight, Kaun came off the bench to score 13 points and grab six rebounds. "We had Sasha that game and had different guys step up other times," Robinson said, "and that's been most of our success." Robinson and the rest of the team are confident they can use the same recipe and do well this weekend. Just because the names of some of the players are better known and their averages are higher, Kansas won't go into the Final Four feeling overmatched. "We've got good players," Self said, "and they've got good players ... The strength of our team is balance, and if you're going to make a negative of it, the weakness of our team is balance." Edited by Sam Lamb >> WORLD POLITICS Political unrest continues in China Protests persist near Tibet, cause concern for 2008 Olympics ASSOCIATED PRESS BY CHRISTOPHER BODEEN ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING—Unrest was reported Wednesday among Muslims in far western China, a headache for Beijing as it tries to squeel Tibetan protests and another sign that neither investment nor repression has ended anti-government feeling in the hinterlands. The protests in Xinjiang create new problems for Beijing as it tries to contain demonstrations while fending off criticism of its treatment of minorities ahead of this summer's Beijing Olympics. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit Beijing since a deadly March 14 anti-government riot in the Tibetan capital, said he appealed to Chinese leaders to engage their critics. "I expressed our concerns about the violence and urged a peaceful resolution through dialogue," Paulson said. He declined to specify to which officials he made the appeal. The reports about the latest unrest in Xinjiang described disturbances last month at a bazaar in the city of Hotan, deep in the Muslim Uighur minority's cultural heartland. A local government statement said a "tiny number of people" tried to create an incident March 23 "under the flag of separatism." A local government spokesman blamed the protest on Uighur separatists whom he accused of seizing on the Tibet unrest to call attention to their independence cause. "These people are splittists responding to the Tibetan riots," the spokesman, Fu Chao, said. He said dozens were arrested, but only the "core splittists" remained in custody. U. S. government-funded Radio Free Asia and an overseas Uighur activist reported earlier that the demonstrators were demanding the right for Uighur women to wear head scarves and the release of political prisoners. The rare official confirmation of the Xinjiang protest appeared to signal the government's sensitivity to unrest, said Nicholas Bequelin, a Hong Kong-based researcher for Human Rights Watch. "It was out already, so they were forced to react rapidly," he said. Linking the protesters to events in Tibet was a way of portraying them as opportunistic and thereby undermining any real grievances, he said. Faced with local opposition; China has employed the twin policies of economic development and repression in both Xinjiang and Tibet, believing that would win over the masses while crushing dissent. Opposition has continued, however, mainly peacefully in Tibet, but sometimes accompanied by violence in Xinjiang; authorities this year claimed to have foiled a Uighur terror plot targeting the Olympics and an attempt to crash a commercial airliner. The incident in Hotan came nine days after the deadly rioting in Lhasa set off the largest and most sustained wave of protests in Tibetan areas of western China in almost two decades. China accuses supporters of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, of orchestrating the violence and planning future attacks by "suicide squaws."

"But per capita, they've produced some guys." Chalmers' hometown is Anchorage, a midsized municipality of close to 300,000 residents. It's where Chalmers attended Bartlett High School. KPR PUBLIC RADIO THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS KPR PUBLIC RADIO THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 91.5 FM KPR.KU.EDU Junior guard Mario Chalmer celebrates during Kansas Elite Eight matchup with Davidson. Regarding Chalmer's personality, teammate Darrrell Arthur said, "He always has something smart to say. He's a funny guy when you know him." CHALMERS (CONTINUED FROM1B) As a young kid, Chalmers would watch Langdon play. Chalmers' dad, Ronnie, who is now Kansas' director of basketball operations, coached Langdon when the former Duke star was in high school. KAMU 17 12 4 Mario watched him make three after three and said, "that's going to be me." "Just being around him, working out, seeing the type of work ethic he had," Chalmers said, "I just wanted to emulate him." Playing in the obscure outpost of Anchorage, Chalmers made a name for himself while traveling around the country in the summer. "Every college coach knew exactly who Mario was." Self said. Chalmers talent was undeniable. The smooth jumper, the quick hands and the deceptive athleticism — it was all there. "Certain athletes have a graceful glide to them," Self said, "and he's one of those guys" Quiet off the court, Chalmers has shown a more ferocious side on the court this season. He's averaging a career-high 12.7 points per game. In addition to his respected outside game, Chalmers said he's tried to become more aggressive going to the basket. Gaining experience "I think that's just my game, getting to the rack," Chalmers said. The three-pointers still come often — he hit six against Texas in the Big 12 Tournament final He's got the story to prove it. He's got the story to prove it. Chalmers' freshman year of high school, his Bartlett team was playing Kenai, and he found himself on a fast break. — but Chalmers says that he's always tried to attack the rim. "Dude jumped with me, and I kind of went up and dunked it," Chalmers said. It was the first time he dunked on somebody — but not the last. Handing to San Antonio. Earlier this tournament, Chalmers stood in the Kansas locker room and eyed Rush as Rush spoke with reporters. Rush struggled for a word, and his sentences became jumbled. It was a rare public display of Chalmers: the jokester. A side his teammates say they see all the time. "Stuttering Stanley," Chalmers said, chiding Rush. "Cmon brotha, let me talk" Rush said. "He always has something smart to say," Arthur said. "He's a funny guy when you get to know him." Now the rest of the college basketball world is about to know Chalmers. The skilled guard, the ferocious competitor — maybe even the subtle jokerest. Earlier this month, a reporter asked Self about Chalmers. After naming all of Chalmers' attributes for a few moments, Self stopped. "He's just a great college guard." Self said. Sometimes fewer words mean more.

Herbst was 0-2 at the plate during Kansas' 13-0 victory against St. Mary at Hoglund Ballpark. Kansas moved to 19-13 on the season and will face off again Tuesday at 6 p.m. Kansas rolls St.Mary 13-0 Coach Price plays 25 Jayhawks to end four-game slide BY SHAWN SHROYER sshroyer@kansan.com When Kansas plays teams such as Saint Mary, the outcome is rarely in doubt. As a result, coach Ritch Price's main objective was to give his less-frequently used players some well-deserved playing time. Mission accomplished. Price managed to play 25 of his players against Saint Mary Wednesday night at Hoglund Ballpark as the Jayhawks (19-13) rolled over the Spires (13-13) 13-0, ending a four-game skid for Price's club. "Most importantly, tonight's ball game was to get everybody in the ball game who didn't get to play very often, especially our young freshmen," Price said. "Everybody got an at-bat and that's the purpose of the game, is to give everybody an opportunity to play" The star for Kansas offensively was none other than senior utility man Matt Berner. Starting as a replacement for freshman third baseman Tony Thompson, Berner went 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI. His first two RBI came on a double in the second, which put Kansas' first runs on the board, and his third RBI came in the fifth, on a base hit in the midst of a seven-run run for Kansas. "it's been a while since I've been out there and had that many atbats, but I felt good and everything worked out well today," Berner said. Dear the game. And only one pitcher in the bunch threw multiple innings In three innings, Marciel struck out five, allowing two walks and no hits as his ERA dropped to 7.50. The Jayhawks were a home run shy of hitting for the cycle in the fifth with six batters collecting hits. Saint Mary right-hander Zane Merritt, who entered the game in the fifth and was charged with all seven Kansas runs, at one point looked toward his dugout with arms raised to his sides in frustration for being left on the mound all inning. Eventually, Merritt got out of the inning. Marcel was making his first start since being removed from Kansas' weekend rotation. Price moved Marcel to the midweek to help him regain some confidence after his ERA ballooned to 8.33 last Friday, and Marcel appeared to be back on track against Saint Mary. Dear Students: Your checklist for Saturday: Come Early Drink Heavily Watch Kansas Win Watch the "old" Coach Cry XOXO, J.B. Stouts Featuring: $3 Honor Vodka Cocktails More than 30 TVs — Kansas sophomore hand-bander Wally Marcel (3-4). "I was getting a little frustrated after those last three starts I had on the weekend," Marcel said. "Me and coach (Ryan) Graves talked about it a little bit and he just wanted to get my confidence and swagger back. Today's game helped a little bit." Merritt was one of eight pitchers used by Saint Mary and one of 15 pitchers in all who appeared in Kansas' no-hitter continued until the top of the fifth when Saint Mary shortstop Stephen Maurin singled to center field off senior right-hander Matt Lane. JB STOUT'S BAR & GRILL "I didn't even know about the no-hitter until later on in the game." BERNer said. "I haven't seen him (Lane) yet, but when I get in the locker room, I might say a little something to him." Edited by Katherine Loeck 7 Weston White/KANSAN Freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters slides into second base safely after an overthrown ball. Waters was credited for a stolen base on the play, scoring later on in the inning. Kansas defeated St. Mary 13-0 Wednesday night at Houlund Ballpark.

Ultimate fan encourages others to join him at games BY TYLER PASSAMORE tpassamore@kansan.com Fan legend reveals For those of you who graced Hoglund Ballpark Wednesday night, you were among a legend in his own time. A fan legend that is seemingly a giant of a man and is visible in nearly every athletic venue, Richard Cole does it all. The 1982 University of Kansas graduate in Biochemistry has an immaculate record and is possibly a Jayhawk fan record holder. For fans that have done a football game and Late Night in the same day, you are only scratching the surface. "I was at a tennis match, baseball game and softball game this week in one day." Cole said. "Besides basketball, a bunch of sports need some love. So, I try to give a lot of them some love." The Barry Bonds of Kansas sports fanatics, Cole remembers his first experience vividly. "Ninteen-eighty No. 1 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys rolled into town. It was Easter Sunday and I decided to see what all the excitement was about," Cole said. "Those people made me very angry." Anger him they did and Cole has been a phenom heckler ever since. He remembers one of his better heckles, citing one of his top 5 Kansas baseball players of all time as 2006 graduate Matt Baty. "I had a special song all worked up that I would sing when he was trying to steal a base." Cole said. "Every time they were sure they had you caught, you were quicker than they thought and you would turn your back and walk." But he stopped getting on base after that." For those of you fellow University Daily Kansan die-hard readers that don't always like to believe baseball writers Shawn Shroyer and myself, take the advice from a seasoned veteran about this years team. "They have got the pitching and the hitting they need, they just have not got the pitching going." Cole said. "Wally Marciel was a freshman all American last year and he struggled at the beginning of that season too. He is still very good. Once some of the pitches come around, they will be very good." Before Cole became the super fan he is today, he started out as an average Kansas student trying to get down close for basketball games. It was the first baseball game he attended in which he decided the other sports need respect too and as they say, "the rest is history." Cole has a reason he believes that people don't attend smaller revenue sports and he does it through an analogy. "I call it my K-State basketball theory," Cole said. "You play basketball for K-State, nobody goes to see you play, nobody likes you, you're a loser and you signed your name on the wrong dotted line." Cole's disregard remains only toward the other state school to the west however. Cole has a formula and personal belief about his fellow Jayhawkers. "They are going to one of the leading academic institutions in the country and they're admitted here. They are pretty smart." Cole said. "And oh they can play and they got a scholarship offer? They must be real good." Good they are and more of the general public needs to follow these words of wisdom from one of the greatest fans. Cole gives everything he can to Kansas athletics and the dividends come in the form of entertainment. Jayhawk fans who are looking to do a little more for their school or alma mater after the Final Four is done, look no further than Cole. As far as inspirational quotes go, maybe one of Cole's legendary heckle will give you the rhyme and reason to attend events. "Burnt orange is ugly. The best thing to ever come out of Texas is interstate highway 35," Cole said. Indeed, it takes a little more to be a champion and it takes a little more than that to become a legend. Future Jayhawks now have the recipe for success and the ingredients contain those in which Richard Cole possesses. Greatness.

Danielle McCray is a Beast rebounds in the Jayhawks' final Big 12 road game. 2. Freshmen Phenoms 3. Taylor McIntosh down the stretch Senior forward Taylor McIntosh has been called the grandma of this Kansas team since her sophomore year, but for much of the season granny was taking a nap. McIntosh took a back seat to Boogaard in the post, which was fine, but she didn't step back up when Boogaard struggled. However, at the end McIntosh was again a force down low. In Kansas' two victories against Nebraska, its last regular season and only Big 12 tournament victories, McIntosh averaged 12 points and nine rebounds. She also scored 15 points and pulled down 16 4. Rebounding Out-rebounding the opposition was about the only constant, win or lose, throughout the season for coach Bonnie Henrickson's team. In several games, Kansas gave up a few too second chance shots thanks to offensive rebounds by the other team but on the season it gathered in almost three more rebounds than its opponents in each contest. There's really no better way to put it. McCray led the Jayhawks in per game points (14.9), rebounds (7.1), minutes (31.9) and total steals (58). A 5-foot-11 guard shouldn't be as dominant on the boards as McCray is, which makes her a truly special player. McCray's unique combination of speed and power make her a threat for 20 points and 10 rebounds every game, and she was the go-to player for Kansas all season. That's three more possessions each time they take the court. Domino's Pizza It didn't take long for at least one of the trio of incoming freshmen to make a statement. In the first game of the year, a 76-72 victory against Hartford, forward Nicollette Smith led Kansas with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Smith then settled in as the Jayhawks' top three-point threat while center Krysten Boogaard emerged as the top inside threat and second scoring option. Boogaard led Kansas in points or rebounds 16 times throughout the season. The third freshman, guard Chaketeitha Weldon, tore her ACL on Feb. 5 and missed the remainder of the season, but in the three games previous to that she stepped up her game and gave fans a sneak preview of what's to come. 5. Chakeitha Weldon's pregame chant It's difficult to describe other than to say that every witness to it, no matter their gender or age, is ready to suit up and take Michael Jordan one-on-one. Weldon dives into the center of her circle of teammates and goes into a trans-like state to deliver a spine-tingling cheer that's well worth the price of admission. 5 reasons Kansas disappointed 1. Turnovers, Turnovers, Turnovers If there's one thing that the 2007-08 season will be remembered for, it will be the Jayhawks' chronic problem of giving the ball away. Traveling, offensive fouls, bad passes — Kansas did everything and more to give its opposition more possessions. The Jayhawks turned the ball over a Big 12 worst 19.4 times per game and there were more than a few games lost because they just couldn't hold onto the ball. 2. Second Half Jitters Maybe Henrickson should of asked Weldon to bust out her pre-game chant again at halftime to get the team psyched up, or maybe she could have channeled her inner Gene Hackman for a "Hoosiers" - half time speech. Either way something needed to be done because Kansas' lackluster performances out of the break were the key to its five game losing streak to end the regular season. No lead was safe – including a 12-point half time lead over Texas Tech – because a second half lapse was 3. Road Trips - because a second half lapse was sure to come. With every Hawks victory in the tournament, DOMINO'S PIZZA will take MORE & MORE off the regular price of a large or x-large pizza 5. Injuries Boogaard, McCray, McIntosh and Smith, four of the top six scorers, combined to commit 359 fouls and fouled out of 10 total games this year, and you can't score points from the bench. Early in the Big 12 season the games got out of hand when McCray would go to the bench for picking up two early fouls and the other team would go on a big run. When the top point scorer also has the most personal fouls then there's a problem and that's exactly what took place. 4. Foul Trouble THE MORE THE HAWKS WIN,THE LESS YOU PAY! This is the major concern for every coach at the beginning of the season and it's impossible to control. For the most part Kansas got through the year with only minor scrapes - McCray and sophomore guard Kelly Kohn both missed time due to leg and ankle injuries - but the one major injury came at the worst possible time. Weldon was just starting to get some substantial playing time, working into the point guard rotation, and she went down right when it looked as if she could push for the starting spot. PIZZA MADNESS KANSAS-$5OFF KANSAS-$6 OFF After Kansas finished 0-8 on the road in Big 12 play, Henrickson joked that she would look into playing all games at Allen Fieldhouse next season. No joke, this needs to happen because the road was cold and cruel to the Jayhawks this year. They were blown out at Nebraska, Baylor and Oklahoma, blew leads at Colorado and Texas Tech and simply couldn't hang on at Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State. A few of those were close, but road trips to Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State will be incredibly difficult next season unless Henrickson can pull off the greatest schedule alteration of all time.

Kansas' only substantial loss will be the departure of senior forward Taylor McIntosh, who started nearly every game of her career under Henrickson. If sophomore forward Porscha Weddington can't build on some solid late season performances next season, the HENRICKSON'S TAKE Jayhawks' two freshman bigs may be called into action early. Either way, Henrickson is starting to accumulate the talent necessary to continue improving year to year. "I think the three of those fit in the piece of the puzzle we're trying to complete. It ranks right up there with our sophomore class now, including Danielle (McCray) and Sade (Morris). They're a little bit different because we'll have a big kid inside and a true point guard, so they're comparable, but they're different positions." Edited by Sasha Roe Angel Goodrich 5-foot-3 guard Anger Goodrich 5-foot-3 guard Sequoyah High School (Tahlequah, Okla.) Hoopgulz.com ranking: 48 (No. 9 ranked point guard) All-Star Girls Report ranking:109 HENRICKSON'S TAKE Simply put, Goodrich is a winner. She won three straight state championships before falling short of a fourth title her senior season. The diminutive guard turned down the opportunity to attend Big 12 powerhouses Oklahoma and Texas A&M to help Kansas continue building under Henrickson. Many believe she will step in and challenge junior guard Ivana Catic and sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs for significant minutes immediately. "She has a poise and a calmness about her. She makes the game look easy, she's got a very low pulse, she has a calming effect on her teammates." "She's a capable scorer and a fantastic passer and she makes it look simple. She doesn't do anything fancy, she just makes an easy pass, which for most people is a very difficult pass." Ashley Ellis 6-foot-3 center Harley Ellis 6-foot-3 center Deer Valley High School (Antioch, Calif.) Hoopgulz.com ranking: 78 (No. 18 ranked center) All-Star Girls Report ranking: 143 Ellis turned down Oregon State in order to come to Lawrence, and is another example of Henrickson's desire to bring in post players that can stretch the floor. Freshman forward Nicolette Smith was that player last season, if Ellis can make a similar adjustment to the college game, the Jayhawks will be deep even if they aren't experienced in the post. Look for Ellis to find minutes off the bench filling in for freshman center Krysten Boogaard and Porscha Weddington. She certainly won't shy away from contact. Hen- rickson compared Ellis' body type to Oklahoma double-double machine, junior center Courtney Paris. HENRICKSON'S TAKE "She passes the ball well like Courtney does. She has a fade-away jumper, a three, a really skilled big kid inside. She will bring some size, athleticism and skill to that position that we need, so even if she's at the high post, you're still going to have to guard her because she shoots the ball really well." Aishah Sutherland 6-foot-2 forward Perris High School (Perris, Calif.) All-Star Girls Report ranking: 291 Sutherland may not have garnered the national attention Goodrich and Ellis did, but Henrickson said she saw her athleticism as a major plus for the program. Her ability to play facing the basket is also a plus for Kansas. Henrickson said Sutherland narrowly missed dunking in a pick-up game she watched while on a visit. HENRICKSON'S TAKE "She can play a big three, face-up if you play four-out, one-in. She's explosive, a good face-up player, puts the ball on the floor, elevates, has great rebounding and is a really, really great athlete." —Edited by Sasha Roe TOP FIVE (CONTINUED FROM 8B) 5 things to do in the offseason 1. Find a point guard Finding capable applicants won't be a problem but deciding which one will be the first game starter should present an interesting challenge for Henrickson. Junior guard Ivana Catic and sophomore guard LaChelda Jacobs each made starts at the point position this year, and before her injury, Weldon saw some significant time as well. five-foot-three incoming freshman Angel Goodrich, who will participate in the WBCA/Nike High School All-America game in Tampa Bay on Saturday, may also factor into the equation. Weldon probably won't be at full strength until later in the season, but the other three should start jockeying for position immediately. 2. Lock Boogaard in the weight room Lock her in and throw away the key. Coaches can send her food and water through a slot in the door. Boogaard, at 6-foot-5, has the height, but everybody in the Big 12 knocked her around and early in the season she spent way too much time on the ground. Lower body work will give her better balance to handle the hits while beefing up above the waist will help Boogaard dish out some hits of her own next season. 3. Run every practice outside of Lawrence 1 Clearly the team needs to become more comfortable with itself outside of Allen Fieldhouse. Maybe they could go on a tour this summer to every other Big 12 city and spend a few days playing in it's stadium with only a smattering of KU fans in the stands. Either that or petition the Big 12 for 16 home league games. One of those two ought to work. 4. Decrease turnovers There are plenty of drills that Henrickson can make her team perform again and again, but she's already done that throughout the season. The key to dropping the total number of turnovers next year will be finding a fun way for her players to hang onto the ball. Perhaps constructing some basket-balls with yo-yo strings attached, ala the Harlem Globetrotters, would make the players realize how enjoyable it can be to hold onto the ball. KANSAN FILE PHOTO 5. Beg Courtney Paris to leave early OK, this is probably a futile effort, but it's at least worth a shot. Paris, a junior, was named to the AP All-America team for the third time this season and the only thing keeping her around is Oklahoma's lack of success in the NCAA tournament. Of course, even if Paris were to leave there's still twin sister Ashley, but one Paris is better than two, Just ask France. Edited by Jared Duncan 》 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Struggling star eager to bounce back ISAS BY ANDREW WIEBE awihoe@kansas.com awiebe@kansan.com Kelly Kohn never could find the form that saw her lead Kansas in minutes played as a freshman. It wasn't that she had lost a step or couldn't play. The culprit? A nagging ankle injury that had sidelined the sophomore guard since around the New Year, limiting her to only four starts compared to 31 starts in 31 games last season. Without Kohn for a chunk of the season, Kansas didn't necessarily collapse but it never looked entirely comfortable either. Though Kohn only missed a grand total of five games, she was never really the same as the ankle continued to bother her. Would things have been different with her at full strength? No doubt. Henrickson said that she expected Kohn to come back even stronger next season and that her biggest affect on the game may not necessarily show on the score sheet. Sophmore guard Kelly Kohn takes contact by a Nebraska defender on her way to the basket during the first game of the Big 12 Tournament. Kohn struggled this season after leading the team in minutes her freshman year. "She is a tough kid," Henrickson said. "She is a competitive kid. She has the intangibles to weather the storm when someone makes a run or in a possession battle." While fellow sophomore guards Danielle McCray, Sade Morris and LaChelda Jacobs were stepping up their games and gaining invaluable experience by playing 20 plus minutes per game, Kohn was forced to take a back seat. After averaging 9.8 points, 3 assists and 3.3 rebounds as a freshman, her production plummeted to 3 points per contest. She said it was difficult to watch, knowing she couldn't contribute the way she wanted or was capable of. Even more difficult was returning in the midst of Big 12 play while not fully healthy. "It is tough to come back from an injury in any sport, but it was especially tough for me to have to try to come back during conference play," Kohn said after Kansas' WNIT victory against Evansville. "You are playing against such good competition and it is hard to get your rhythm back in the couple of minutes you are out on the floor." Although it would have been easy to become negative about her injury, Kohn's teammates said she remained mentally strong while recovering and during the struggles that followed. Morris said bringing Kohn back in the fold is only going to make the Jayhawks that much more dangerous. "Hey, we've got a girl that can shoot lights out back," she said. "Now instead of having to guard two or three people, they are going to have to guard five or six." Once she had finally battled her way back to full health late in the season, Kohn gave Kansas a glimpse of what she was capable of. In games against Nebraska and Evansville in the final weeks of the season, Kohn made 8-11 shots and showed court vision and tenacious defense. Henrickson said that boded well for months until the first exhibition games, and that Kohn was chomping at the bit to begin preparing. "She is probably in a hungry place right now than she was coming off a freshman year when she had played so much," Henrickson said. "She said she is just really ready and excited to have a great spring and great summer." —Edited by Jeff Briscoe NEED CASH? *Instant Money Today* Donate plasma.

Like, zoinks, women's basketball needs a leader! NSAV 13 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Taylor McIntosh contributed important leadership to the Jayhawks this season. The Hawks will have to find new leadership in her absence next season. D. C. BROADWAY BY TAYLOR BERN KANSAN COLUMNIST TBERN@KANSAN.COM The best way to imagine the current state of Kansas women's basketball happens to be the best way to imagine almost anything. Think of Scooby Doo. When Scooby and Shaggy first see the (insert seemingly normal guy) dressed up as a (insert bad guy costume), they yell and then try and run away. However, before they shuffle off in front of an eerily similar background for 30 seconds, they're suspended in the air for a while — feet frantically churning with nothing getting accomplished. That's what coach Bonnie Henrickson's team looks like right now. For all of their recruiting prowess and stellar nonconference records, the Jayhawks are still suspended in the air, running as fast as they can and not going anywhere Instead of trying to get away from a scary monster like Shaggy and Scooby, Kansas is trying to catch up to a frighteningly good Big 12, which is one reason it hasn't made any progress. The Big 12 is without a doubt the best conference in women's basketball top to bottom. Eight league teams made it to the NCAA tournament and through the first round all eight were still alive. Also, Missouri was the only conference team not to participate in a postseason tournament. Even with all of that in mind, it's not enough for Kansas to dream big in the preseason — this year's goal was 20 victories and the NCAA tourney — then fall short only to blame it on a difficult conference or a youthful squad. This team is getting older and freshman mistakes like turning the ball over out of a time-out can no longer be excused time but can no longer be excused. The core of the lajahaws is still the six sophomores that all came in together as freshmen, and one of those players holds the key to an NCAA tournament bid next season ... but she's not named Danielle McCray Sophomore forward Porscha Weddington started the first 11 games of the year before relinquishing the role to freshman center Krysten Boogaard, and the fate of the 2008-09 season may rest on her shoulders. Kansas will be guarded heavy next season because every one of them is coming back. The only players graduating are forwards Jamie Boyd and Taylor McIntosh, but McIntosh meant more to the Jayhawks than a box score could ever show. The difference between wins and losses wasn't whether McCray was playing well but how well McIntosh performed. More than that, she looked after all of the players and yelled at players when it needed to be done. Kansas will need that leadership on and off the court again, and who better to fill that void than the player taking her starting spot? Try and think of it like Scooby Doo. Daphne and Freddy drive the Mystery Machine, but Velma gives them the directions. Shaggy and Scooby run from the villains while Velma solves the mystery. For Kansas, Velma just graduated, and it's time to buy Porscha some glasses. Jinkees! Edited by Samuel Lamb ups ups You've picked your classes... Picked a place to live...

COMENTARY Jayhawks carry the blame Lost opportunity brings resilience for next season KANSAN FILE PHOTO BY ANDREW WIEBE KANSAS 2 BY ANDREW WIEBE KANSAN COLUMNIST AWIEEBE@KANSAN.COM Kelly Kohn turned heads her freshman season, but her sophomore season she struggled to overcome injuries. Coach Henrickson hopes a healthy Kohn will help the team reduce the number of turnovers they average and make it to the NCAA Tournament. At times this season Bonnie Henrickson had to wonder what exactly her players were seeing on the court. Time and time again Kansas shot itself in the foot, showing a puzzling inability to limit turnovers and losing 14 of its final 20 games in the process. The Jayhawks became predictable for those who watched them enough. Kansas would play well enough to keep it close in the first half, but the second half was always another story. Costly turnovers and the lack of any offensive rhythm destroyed any chance for victory. The trend finally came to a head late in the conference season. The Jayhawks wasted their opportunity to qualify for the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 1999-2000 season by losing five consecutive games to end the Big 12 schedule. Before the streak, Kansas was 4-7 in Big 12 play and 15-9 overall with a chance of earning an at-large NCAA tournament bid with inspired play. After Texas Tech, Missouri, Iowa State, Texas and Kansas State finished punishing Henrickson's team for its carelessness with the ball, even an appearance in the WNIT wasn't guaranteed. It isn't hard to see why Kansas faded to an 11th place finish in the conference. The Jayhawks turned the ball over more than any other team in the Big 12 and were last in turnover margin and assist-to-turnover ratio. No team gave away possessions as frequently as Henrickson's. But if the Jayhawks wanted to pass their mistakes off on extenuating factors, they never showed it. After all, Kansas was one of the youngest teams in the Big 12 On top of that, freshman guard Chakeitha Weldon and sophomore guard Kelly Kohn spent much of the season watching from the bench with injuries. There were plenty of opportunities for justification, but Henrickson and her players never took the blame off their own shoulders. It's a good thing they didn't become accustomed to making excuses to explain their poor play because the Jayhawks certainly won't have that opportunity next year. There will be no excuses with another offseason behind them Kohn and Weldon will both be back and Kansas will add Angel Goodrich, a three-time Oklahoma Rudy state championship winner, to an already crowded stable of perimeter players. The crop of talented but inconsistent sophomores will be juniors and will have two years of Big 12 battles under their belts to look back on. Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence! Almost the Weekend! Thursday Special: ONLY $13.05 plustax 16" Pizza 2 Toppings 2 Drinks Free Delivery! Rudy's PIZZERIA Henrickson knows turnovers must go down from the 19.4 the Jayhawks averaged this season. Although Kansas won 11 of its first 13 games this season. Turning over the ball frequently will need to stop if the Jayhawks are to make the next logical step to a top-half conference finisher and a NCAA tournament appearance. There's a reason teams that value the ball have more success. They have more offensive possessions to do damage and limit transition opportunities for their opponents. If Henrickson and her players want to continue climbing their way toward national relevance, they know what has to be done. Now comes the hard part, doing it. — Edited by Mandy Earles The Dole Institute of Politics requests the honor of your presence at The Dole Institute of Politics requests the honor of your presence at First Spouses: Changing Roles and Expectations With Guests of Honor: Jenny Sanford First Lady of South Carolina Carl S.

Instead, he'll have to settle for effective. Bannister stymied the Detroit Tigers' heralded offense Wednesday, allowing two singles in seven innings as the Kansas City Royals won 4-0. "That's a very good lineup, and they are going to score a lot of runs, but I also know that they have a lot more expectations than we do," Bannister said. "That's why I wanted to put them under pressure early."

The Tigers moved one runner into scoring position Wednesday and are hitting .191 with 19 strikeouts through two games. as City KC "If we got shut out by someone who was hanging breaking balls and leaving pitches in the middle of the plate, I'd be concerned," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "But when a guy locates like he did today, that's the way it goes. You aren't going to wear out good pitching that locates. You've got to take advantage of mistakes, and we didn't do that." Edgar Renteria had Detroit's only hits, all singles. ASSOCIATED PRESS "He was always strike one on everybody, and when you do that, you get in a rhythm," said Gary Sheffield, who went 0-for-3. "Let's just hope that was the last shutout. We'll turn around." Bannister (1-0) gave up leadoff singles to Renteria in the first and fourth innings, didn't walk a batter and struck out four.

NEW ORLEANS - Death, disaster, scandal, upheaval. LSU's eight seniors have dealt with all of it, and yet they've made the Lady Tigers one of the most dominant forces in women's college basketball. "We're a really strong group. We've been through just about everything — bad weather, coaching changes," said scrappy 5-foot-3 point guard Erica White. "We've had tough losses, real good wins and I think that makes us a poised group, an experienced group. We just basically know how to handle every situation that comes our way." ASSOCIATED PRESS LSU (31-5) is about to complete a fifth straight season at the Final Four. Early on in this historic stretch, the Lady Tigers lost Hall of Fame coach Sue Gunter, first to an illness that forced her to retire in the summer of 2004, followed by her death a year later. Less than a month after Gunter died, Hurricane Katrina swamped New Orleans and coastal communities in southeast Louisiana, a catastrophe that inundated Baton Rouge with storm victims and transformed LSU's home basketball arena into a temporary refuge for evacuees. One month later, Hurricane Rita laid waste to Louisiana's southwestern coast. Some players' home communities were destroyed in the storms. Every player had a friend or relative affected.

When my roommates and I moved into our Lawrence apartment two years ago, our walls were completely white. We knew we had to do something to make our apartment "our own." At the time, I worked in a video store so I was able to get multiple random movie posters we put all over our living room. In addition, we ripped off the covers of my roommate's Maxim magazine two year subscription he had hanging out in his bedroom. But the one decoration that really topped the cake was a paper mask of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn we found in Maxim, a promotion for "Wedding Crashers," which BY MATT LINDBERG MLINDBERG@KANSAN.COM had been released that summer. We cut out the paper masks and sketched out bodies for the actors similar to the "Wedding Crashers" DVD. Soon enough, quotes from the movie began to appear on our walls. spring 2008 kansan staff The way you decorate your apartment says a lot about who you are.

A RUNDOWN OF LOCAL FURNITURE OPTIONS BY ALEXANDRA GARRY editor@kansan.com THE SKINNY ON SOFAS You've found the perfect apartment in the perfect location at the perfect rent and with the perfect roommates. What more could you possibly need? Unless that dream apartment comes fully-furnished, chances are you still need a place to sit, to eat and to do homework: You need furniture. First-time apartment outfitters may find themselves intimated by the prospect of high price tags and having to know the difference between a "sofa" and a "lovedeat," but Lawrence businesses are keen to make furniture shopping as hassle-free as possible, especially for college students. Many local stores change their merchandise to better cater to the student crowd, and some, high- and low-end alike, even drop their prices around the back-to-school period. Here are some places to buy furniture in the Lawrence area, as well as some price ranges for those stores. GPM STORY CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 Garber Property Management 5030 Bob Billings Pkwy, Ste.

He and his roommate, John Cullen, Kansas City, Mo., junior, fashioned the table during the course of a month. Beer pong tables bring out students' personal touch Unique tables becoming more accessible JASON BAKER jbaker@kansan.com Beer pong, the drinking game played at almost every house party. This timeless classic has made its way from house parties to local bars in Lawrence, like The Hawk, 3125 W.Sixth St. Any average person can just have their coffee table or dining room table be the beer pong table, but some KU students have designed their own table solely for the game of beer pong. USE A COLLECTION AS A DESIGN beer bottle caps for more than a year from random bars across the country. "We even bought some off of eBay. Some were about $50," Hire said. The guys said that it took about a month to put it together. It consisted of mortaring and routing the table, gluing the bottle caps into the table, and finally layering it with Polyurethane. polyurethane helps prevent stains if there are If you're big on having a collection, whether it's stamps or baseball cards, you can use that as a decorative cover for your table. For Max Hire Kansan City, Mo. junior, it was beer bottle caps. His roommate John Cullen, Kansas City, Mo., junior, had started collecting any spillage. Hire said that the table got used about two to three times a week. SPORT YOUR FAVORITE TEAM'S LOGO "We've played beer pong on our table more times than we can count." If you are a die-hard sports fanatic, why not have your favorite mascot in the center of your table? Because this is Jayhawk country, the Jayhawk is not a bad touch. Jamie Halpin and his roommate, Dan Koerperich, Shawnee DAN KOEPERICH Shawnee sophomore sophomores, have the Jayhawk mascot in the center of their table. Halpin said that it took them roughly a day during the summer to make it while working at Koerperich stepfather's sign shop. "The graphics on the table are of vinyl which Koerperich did most of the work laying down after it was cut in a vinyl printer. he said. "We've played beer pong on our table more times than we can count." Halpin said about its frequent usage. Maybe you think the Jayhawk mascot is a bit cliche, how about the "KU" letters as an idea? David Cooley, Leawood junior, has the letter "K" on one of his tables. Cooley said it took between 25 to 30 hours on and off for about a week to complete each table. APRIL 3,2008 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN APARTMENT GUIDE 7 Cooley says the "K" table is more for games as "Flippy Cup" and "Beirut". However, if you're a fan of both professional sports as well, then you can be like Cooley and have best of both worlds. Not only does Cooley have a KU table, but he also has a table with the Kansas City Chiefs as well. The table has the Chiefs logo in the center and the football turf with the numbers and the white lines. Cooley said they had to stencil the numbers on to the table. He also had to use two different colors for the grass. "The hardest part was getting everything proportional," Cooley said." We had to use some math, which was not fun." Like Hire, Cooley used polyurethane on both of his tables to protect them from stains. Cooley said that both tables were used every weekend when they have people come over. These are just a few examples of KU students that love the party game so much that they brought it home to their place. So for the upcoming academic year, if you want to have your own table to have for the weekends here's what you need. What you need for a standard table: - An 8 X 4 board: $6.88-$16.88 - Sawhorse brackets to hold up the table: 4 for $10 - Polyurethane: $8.37 for a quart, $24.88 for a liter KANSAS 10 YANKEES GUCK CHAPEL HILL Jason Baker/KANSAN Roommates Max Hire, John Cullen and Chad Blackwelder built their beer pong table using bottle caps. The men say they play beer pong 2 or 3 times a week. Park25 STRESSED ABOUT YOUR LIVING ARRANGEMENTS? Current space too small? Roommate not working out? Moved home and have little privacy?

Look to secondhand stores for better quality furniture than you would find in the trash. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN BY MICHAEL HOLTZ editor@kansan.com When looking for furniture to fill your house or apartment, don't just jump in a U-Haul en route for Nebraska Furniture Mart. Why not consider the cheaper alternative - used furniture? Not only will you be saving yourself a few extra bucks - money that can be spent on school supplies or put in your retirement fund - you may also discover that used furniture might not be such a bad option. Stephen Rempala, Olathe graduate student, practically has his entire house furnished with used furniture. He has three couches, a kitchen table, coffee tables and even an air hockey table bought used, taken off the streets or bartered for. ties, so we don't have to worry about people ruining our stuff." "I bartered with some hippies for a couch and got a bar from the Holiday Inn," Rempala said. "We're pretty rowdy and have lots of par- Aside from not having to worry about furniture being damaged, Rempala said he enjoyed the affordability of used furniture. He hasn't even had to open his wallet for many of the items he has obtained, a considerable plus for all those penniless college students out there. Even so, Rempala will be the first to admit that sometimes a deal that seems too good to be true is too good to be true. "If they're questionable stains, throw it away," Rempala said. "It's usually on the street for a reason." Jason Schmits, Seneca sophomore, takes a different approach to his used furniture purchasing. Most of the items he has obtained, including a love seat, recliner and a desk, came from the Goodwill or his house in Seneca. Schmits' explanation for his preference toward used furniture over new furniture is quite simple: "In college, no money, needed a place to sit." "If I had the money I would totally buy new stuff, but I don't," Schmit said. "I went used and really don't mind any of my secondhand stuff." Right where YOU want to be...

If you are a bit too uncomfortable bartering with hippies and would rather not take your chances with a couch left out for the garbage, don't fret. There is another used furniture option. Ask Sheree Nair, co-owner of Freeman Used Furniture, 1145 Pennsylvania St. Sheree Nair and her husband Doug have been owners of Freeman Used Furniture for more than 20 years, taking over for her parents who bought the business in 1969. "We do have some student trade," Nair said. "We sell a lot of desks, couches, coffee tables; furniture for every room of the house." Freeman's Used Furniture & Appliances Buying used furniture from stores such as Freeman can ensure quality and still be cheaper in price in comparison to new furniture. Nair said that the quality of used furniture was oftentimes superior to that of new furniture, being sturdier and usually not built out of plywood. "I would look to see if it's made with a solid construction." Nair said. "Make sure it's not stapled together." Freeman's Used Furniture and Appliances, 1145 Pennsylvania Street, is owned by Doug and Sheree Nair. The store is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. It's closed Sundav and Monday. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN So, before you go looking for that needed new couch or table, don't immediately drive to the nearest new furniture outlet. You most likely will be able to find what you're looking for while simultaneously saving a few extra bucks if you go the used furniture route.

At the Home Depot, 1910 W.31st St., there is a picture hanging set from a brand called OK, that one employee claims is "the best system." On the package, it states that the hangers are used by professionals, museums and art galleries. The value pack costs $8.98 and comes with different sized hangers that hold up to 17 pictures, weighing anywhere from five pounds to as much as 100 pounds. Nails are used to mount the hangers, so expect minor nail holes. A couple of nails are included in the value pack, but users will have to purchase more nails on their own as there are not enough included in the set to hold 17 pictures. Also included are three wall protectors. The circular rubber pieces are placed on the back of a picture and help keep your picture balanced and even against the wall. The hangers are reusable, so the kit is a good investment. To hang up posters, thumb tacks or push pins are also available. Both run about a dollar for a box of 50 to 100, and can be found at Wal-Mart or the KU Bookstore. They cause practically no damage and stay up for months. Push pins can be easier to remove because they have handles on the back. HandiTak is a sticky, gummy-type product that is also good for mounting posters. Although, it's only good for lightweight items and it could cause damage to delicate surfaces. It also may leave oily residue, so you should avoid prolonged skin contact. It is reusable and costs $1.99 at Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St. Scotch 3M brand has recently come out with poster and picture hanging adhesive strips. The strips work well for items weighing up to 10 pounds, on dry, clean, hard surfaces. However, they are not recommended on painted walls because they could peel off the paint, and they also shouldn't be used on wallpaper, or delicate surfaces because they could cause a tear. They might also cause a tear on a picture or poster during removal, so you have to be careful and follow the instructions on the package. At the Home Depot, the poster hanging strips cost about $2, and the picture strips $3. There are many products students can choose or when it comes to hanging up posters and pictures in their apartment. Now it's just time to determine which one is best for you.

Alexandra Garry/KANSAN Nick Gemas, Wichita doctoral student, started collecting movie posters as a way to improve his dorm room at the time. Now, he credits his poster collection for giving him a greater appreciation of design. More than meets the eye Posters used to express personal opinion BY ALEXANDRA GARRY editor@kansan.com Cheap, easily-obtainable and delightfully graphic, posters are as iconic of the college living experience as cheap noodles and house parties. Posters, of one form or another, can be found in most any dorm room, and many students take their wall hangings with them into apartments. "College housing is pretty boring — you've got beige walls and beige carpet, beige everything," said Nick Gemas, Wichita doctoral student. "Posters are like cheap wallpaper. They spruce things up." Katie Aucott, Lawrence freshman, said hanging posters, paintings and magazine clippings was a means of self-expression for her "Whatever your cause — political or religious or whatever you can find a poster for that." and her artistic group of roommates. "It just makes a space your own," she said. as a means of political propaganda and military recruitment in World War I and then again in World War II. BARRY FITZGERALD Associate professor of graphic design Gemas, who collects movie posters, said what started as a way to liven up his dorm room "opened up the world of art" to him and he now had a stronger interest in design and culture. Fitzgerald said improvements in printing Not just inexpensive decoration, posters have a significant place in history. "Historically, posters were used as a means of communication," said Barry Fitzgerald, associate professor of graphic design. Posters took on greater cultural significance improvements in printing technology made posters cheaper and further broadened their mass-market appeal. Today, even individuals can make their own posters cheaply through one-hour photo departments in retail chains such as WalMart. Here in Lawrence, 20x30-inch prints start at $16. Local imaging shop Image Works, 711 23rd St., creates prints ranging "from locket sized to 40x60 inch posters; according to its Web site. "Today, posters are mostly decorative, but technology opens a lot of options." Fitzgerald said. "Whatever your cause — political or religious or whatever — you can find a poster for that. Or, if you just want something with pretty flowers on it, you can find that, too." APRIL 3,2008 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN APARTMENT GUIDE 13 ↓ Max Rinkel/KANSAN Enhance your entertainment while watching the prices BY JASON BAKER jbaker@kansan.com It's Thursday night and Tim Hendricks, Topeka sophomore, and James Cook, Lawrence sophomore, are sitting in their living room watching this week's episode of "Lost" on their housemate's big screen TV. The 50-inch TV belongs to their housemate Adam Lauridsen, Lawrence sophomore. Lauridsen said he got the TV on an after-Thanksgiving sale for $1,000. Along with the big screen, they have a surround sound system to add to the experience. Lauridsen owns one of the 360 systems, which he said cost about $400. Laursiden talked about the reason he bought it all, "I was a film major and I have about 400 movies, and I wanted a big screen to watch them all." Keeping an eye out for bargains on entertainment systems can turn your pad into the place to be for that favorite weekly show or for the big game. Lauridsen isn't the only student out there who cashed in on a good deal on a big screen. Jim Erickson, Overland Park senior, owns a 60-inch big-screen TV, which he said he and his housemates got for a good bargain. "It was originally $3,000, but the lady was trying to get rid of it, so we bought it from her for about $500," Erickson said. Like Laurisden, Erickson If you don't want to or can't spend too much money on an entertainment system, here is a list of some prices from Wal-Mart: DVD Players: $34.97-$69.84 27-inch TV: $198.97 26-inch Vizio HD TV: $474.00 24-inch RCA: $189.96 50-inch big screen TV: $748.00-$998.00 RCA Home Theatre System - $98.96 Sony Home Theatre System - $193.67 and his housemates have a surround sound system, but they use a Playstation 2 system in order to play DVDs. Erickson said that he and his housemates had movie nights periodically. Using a computer or game system to play movies is an easy way to avoid buying a DVD player. However, Erickson said they most notably played host to Super Bowl parties. He said they had about 80 people come over for the Super Bowl. Erickson said that they even had stadium-seating couches in their living room for when they had guests come over. Lauridsen gives this advice for anyone who might want to buy their own entertainment system, "Get it on sale, especially the day-after-Thanksgiving sale. It was the cheapest for me."

With only a few bucks and some free time, there are a lot of things you can do to outfit your room and give it a personal touch. Start with knowing where to go.

Also, its material allows you to customize it, with glitter pens or collages of pictures, for example. one of the best places in town for those who don't feel like spending more than a dollar on each item. Some of its best finds are card board under-bed storage chests that you assemble yourself. They are a good alternative to plastic organizing bins, which cost about $15 each. Of course, they are not as durable as the plastic ones, but come on, they cost less than a cup of Another good find at the Dollar Tree are card board posters.

Make sure that the lamp shade you're using is the same size as the fringe though. Simple purchases help organize your room and make it look neat, or just hide your mess. A shower curtain, for example, can have multiple functions. Rebecca Feickert, Goodrich, N.D., sophomore, didn't like her open closet. She fixed it with two colored shower curtains and a few hooks that she put on a door track that was already attached to the ceiling. "I don't want people to look into my closet," Feickert said. Not only did she solve her problem, but she also added some color to her room. Feickert's idea has caught ways to make it more pleasing to the eye. For a different way to hang pictures, use one or two feet of clothesline, wood pins and Sticky Tak. First, glue your favorite pictures on thick panels of cardboard. Apply enough Sticky Tak to hold the clothesline to the wall. Finally, hang on, as two other people have done the same thing after they saw her invention. The same idea can be used for window curtains as well. If your wall looks naked, there are many Simple purchases help organize your room and make it look neat, or just hide your mess. A shower curtain, for example, can have multiple purposes. the pictures as you would hang your clothes. If you are in a do-it-yourself mood, create your own art for your wall.

Then paint them with color of choice. Use the Sticky Tak to attach them to the wall. These cheap and crafty ways to cleanup and spruce up your room can make your room more homey and comfortable.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk! editor's note My dad is a proud graduate of Kansas State University. He gets that nostalgic smile and those wistful, faraway eyes at any mention of his alma mater, be it Agieville, Michael Beasley or farming equipment. Despite all this, I know my dad is proud of what I've accomplished in college, and though I'm sure he wouldn't even eat off a paper plate with a jayhawk on it at my graduation party, he understands that I chose KU because it was the better school for me. He took my brother and me to many a K-State football game when we were younger. Neither of us took the bait. Ever since I became a Jayhawk four years ago, my relationship with my dad hasn't been quite as easygoing as it once was. Read Peyton's personal essay on page 19 about a more serious father-daughter clash and how she learned to deal with her father's disapproval and its roll on their relationship. - Megan Hirt, associate editor When I ask for money for something college-related, it always takes him a few days to bring himself to write a check to the University of Kansas. I don't discuss KU sports with him, and I now realize that he leaves the room when I watch a KU game not out of disinterest, but because he's cheering for the other team. Whenever he's in Lawrence, he cops a defensive, suspicious demeanor, as though he's treading on enemy territory.

"I always say that the kids working here are, well, unique," says manager Karen Parker. "They're free spirits." The back room of Round Corner Pharmacy started out as a greeting card section. It was converted into a cheese and salami store in the 1970s. Since then, it has evolved into its current incarnation: a diner-style sandwich shop with four stools and a window-facing counter. The music selection reflects the "free spirit" of the servers, so you can usually expect to hear indie music, blues or bluegrass.The shop has still kept its classic ambiance, though. "It reminds me of a place where you'd go with your pops." says Stephanie Quante, Waterloo, Ill., senior. "When I look out the window, I expect to see a cow walk by." Round Corner Cheese & Salami Shoppe is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Travis Brown ROUND CORNER cheese & salami shoppe nooks & crannies NICE CAFE If you're a vegetarian or even just a veggie-lover, Nice Café, 803 Massachusetts St., is the spot for you. The café opened on Jan. I and is located in the back of the Casabah Market. Nice Café offers an exclusively vegetarian menu. Most food items are also organic, but organic doesn't equal expensive. You can get a simple plate of rice and peas for $3, and all individual items are $6 or less. Owner Josh Millstein says the Rastafarian-style cuisine was inspired by a trip he took to Jamaica. "It's really good-tasting food, and it's simple, affordable and healthy. That's what we were going for," Millstein says. He recommends the Jamaican-style coleslaw and promises customers a unique dining experience. "It's really different. All the food here has a taste you won't find anywhere around Lawrence," he says. - Deepa Sampat the CASBAH the CASBAH market m a market k e t 04 04.03.2008 interesting fact: The Deinosuchus was the largest crocodile ever, weighing nine tons.

As soon as the music begins, all eyes and ears focus on him, and bodies begin to sway from side to side. No matter one's skill level or style of music, open mic nights provide musicians with an outlet to share their music in a convenient, low-pressure environment. The Jazzhaus hosts two open mic nights every week. Join their house band, the Sparktones. Mondays at 10 p.m. for an open jam session, featuring a variety of sounds including rock. blues, funk and jazz. If you prefer softer sounds, attend the Acoustic Jam Session Wednesdays at 10 p.m. On each night, the place is filled with college-aged music fans: The patrons' interest and enthusiasm is enough to CHECK THE MOUT Who: Ghosty Where: The Record Bar, 1020 Westport Road, Kansas City, Mo. When: April 26 at 9:15 p.m. Cost: $10 Age: 21+ make any performer feel like a rock star Simply walk past the Jazzhaus on one of these nights and you'll be sure to hear the music and cheers emerge from inside. Durkes, Topeka junior, became involved in open mic nights at the Jazzhaus when a co-worker became aware in his interest in music and suggested it. Because he's taking a semester off of school and works full time. Durks says performing at open mic nights is something fun he enjoys doing for himself. He suggests anyone interested in performing try an open mic night. "It puts you up in front of people and you have to perform or you'll look stupid," he says. Lawrence is a hotbed for musicians. Open mic nights allow musicians to get exposure without having to book an actual gig,which can be very difficult. "You have to start somewhere, and you're not going to start your career headling the Granada," says Jerett Fulton, owner of Mixtape Meditation, a local recording company. If you're a beginner and looking to perform in front of just a few people, head to Cross Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave. The bar holds open mic nights Fridays at 7 p.m. While most of the patrons are old enough to be your parents (or grandparents), as they_bob their heads to the music and whistle and cheer at the end of a performance, their fervor for the music is undeniable. Get the crowd really hyped up and some might show you their moves on the small dance floor complete with flashing lights and a mini disco ball. When Andrew Conner moved to Lawrence from South Dakota to attend KU in the fall of 1999, he was instantly drawn to Lawrence's music scene. Conner says he saw open nics nights as the ideal way to play in front of large crowds and that the open nics nights at the Bottleneck were a few of the first times his band, Ghosty, ever performed in public. "We brought as many of our friends as we could," Conner says. "It's one of those things that people just root for you. For a lot of the people, it was the first time I got to play for them." After a few open mic nights, the Bottleneck eventually offered Ghosty a gig. This coupled with their success at KJHK's Farmer's Ball competition in 2001, set things in motion for the band's future success." Things really started to get going." Conner says. Fulton says that open mic nights are a helpful tool in assessing an artist's potential because they test an artist's originality, confidence on stage and preparedness."You can tell whether they put everything they have into what they're doing. There are too many people that waste a lot of patrons' time because they only think they want to share their craft," he says. Though Ghosty's success is largely attributed to open mic nights. Conner warns that performing a few times will not lead to instant success."People s Tim Lyons, Lawrence senior, has participated in local open mic nights with his band L.I.E. Lyons said they have performed in Lawrence clubs such as the Bottleneck as well as several venues in Kansas City and Manhattan. Lyons is the lead guitarist and vocalist for L.I.E. and can be found online at www.mspace.com/liemusic. find out pretty quickly that it's an uphill battle no matter what if you're playing music," he says. "The good still outweighs the bad if you really love what you're doing. If the reasons why you're playing music are for the glory or recognition, you're leading yourself to disappointment.

When he reaches a rock with the perfect crevice, he stops. His hand on the rock, ready to flip it over, Johnson, 2007 graduate, feels an adrenaline rush close to what he imagines a racecar driver feels on the track. As he flips the rock he sees it: the beautiful 3-foot-long Copperhead, his favorite viper snake. The snake is still until Johnson touches him. The snake isn't slimy, but very smooth and soft. He moves the snake to the perfect position to get a good shot with his camera. Once he's taken the perfect picture, Johnson puts the rock exactly where it Jordan Johnson holding a red Milksnake. was before to respect the animal's habitat. A self-proclaimed herper—a person who simply loves to see amphibians and reptiles—Johnson spends his time traveling around with friends on herping trips looking for snakes to photograph. Johnson says for the most part, a herper is also an amateur photographer.Aware of most people's hate for the animal. Johnson aims to take a beautiful picture of a snake in order to share his love for the animal with others. "If I can learn a lot about them and am able to see them for their beauty and their ecological importance, then I have an opportunity to educate others about them," Johnson says. - Rebekah Scaperlanda DOES YOUR BRACKET SUCK?

The event, called Earth Hour, took place last Saturday from 8 to 9 p.m. around the world. People switched their lights off when their local time zone hit 8 p.m. and spent the next hour in complete darkness. Or, if they missed their nightlight too much, they lit candles. But Walsh completely misses the point of the event and has fallen into the carbon dioxide-induced dumps. The main point of Earth Hour was not necessarily to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Instead, organizers wanted to bring climate change back into the public eye. Like similar environmental advocacy events that have taken place in the past few years,such as Live Earth,Earth Hour drew its fair share of criticism. Like its predecessors,critics questioned whether this event could do anything to save a planet that has to choke down 27 billion tons of carbon dioxide every year. The biggest producers of carbon in Americans daily lives are transportation and the energy used to heat and cool our homes. How can these not be changed at an individual level? These are the carbon-intense areas of our life that we have the most control over. We can decide to turn the thermostat down a few notches in the winter and up a few in the summer. We can decide to walk to Mass. Street instead of driving. We can decide that we would rather have our electricity come from Bowersock hydroelectric plant near downtown instead of Westar's coal plant north of town. Individuals comprise the collective, so the efforts that we make on a grassroots level resonate higher up the chain. Walsh may be right on one point, though. The statistics are monstrous, and it is hard for people to visualize what their 20 tons of carbon dioxide emissions are doing to the planet. But this oh-well-it'snot-my-problem attitude has plagued efforts to electrify any sort of global environmental concern in the American people. Historically international Historically,international failures like the Kyoto Protocol—a decade-old treaty that was supposed to reduce worldwide carbon dioxide emissions 5 percent below 1990s levels—give even more clout to the importance of individual actions. Although then-Vice President Al Gore symbolically signed the treaty, the Clinton administration never submitted it to the Senate for ratification. President George W.Bush says he has no intention to submit the treaty for ratification, making the United States the only developed country in the world that hasn't signed Kyoto. Walsh's pessimism is not shocking, considering the message our country has sent by failing to sign Kyoto and its refusal to take the action needed to solve global warming. It's no wonder Americans think we can't make a difference when this cynical attitude dominates politics and the media. Walsh directly contradicts himself by questioning whether we can even do anything about the problem, but in the next sentence he writes, "This is the moment when we need to keep pushing in every way we can." By ignoring the significance of the individual, Walsh defeats any hope that America can make a difference.As a world leader,this country has an obligation to take on global challenges and be a role model to other nations.The United States has the highest amount of carbon dioxide emissions per person,so it's up to us to change first. It's easy to fall into the trap of green fatigue by constantly being reminded of the tough changes we must make to the typical American lifestyle. But what we forget is the new American lifestyle that we can create—a smarter lifestyle that holds us accountable for our actions and our only home. RIBBED.

I knew she had plants," he says, "so I knew it was a package." Today, the couple's Lawrence home houses about 25 houseplants, many of which came with his wife when they married almost 22 years ago. A cactus that was then about 20 inches tall now reaches the ceiling. Rock, a KU engineering professor; usually leaves the houseplants to his wife while he takes care of the yard. But one day about three years ago, he decided to save a spider plant that she had left for dead. He rescued it from the garage and brought it to his office in Learned Hall. He went through a period of trial and error trying to figure out what kind of light and how much water the plant needed, but the plant is now thriving. Health and happiness Students get plants for a variety of reasons, says Judy Broers, a tropical plant expert at Sunrise Garden Center. 1501 Learnard Ave. Whether they are used to having plants at their parents' home or they just want something that's alive, Broers says she has quite a few students who come in to buy plants, especially at the beginning of the school year. The health benefits are another reason students buy houseplants. Plants such as the spider plant, English ivy, peace lily and dracaena purify the air by giving off oxygen and taking in contaminants such as formaldehyde, benzene and carbon monoxide. For students with asthma, having a plant can make the air in your apartment more friendly, especially if you're in a dorm where the windows don't open. When Rock wanted to give away the babies from his spider plant, he brought up environmentalism to the potential owners." I was able to adopt out more by saying this was their way to combat global Dracaena warming." Rock says. In addition to cleaning the air, houseplants also help humidify the air, simply because the water that you give your plant then evaporates into the air. Humans and plants both like about 50 percent humidity in their living areas. When the air gets really dry in the winter, it would benefit both you and your plant to use an electric humidifier. If you notice the edges of your plant's leaves turning brown, it may need more humidity. Some of the benefits of houseplants are not as tangible as cleaner, healthier air, but they are still noteworthy. Houseplants increase the livability of your apartment, making college living feel more like home. "They take the industrial edge off and make the space actually feel like home," says Marie lannotti, master gardener and gardening guide for About.com. "It's kind of like putting art on the wall, except you have to take care of it." lannotti adds that taking care of a living thing can be a beneficial responsibility for students who have never lived on their own before. Ross Farris,Tulsa, Okla., senior and a student in Rock's engineering class, adopted one of Rock's baby spider plants in class about a month ago. He brought it home in a plastic water bottle he had with him, then put it in a pot about three days later. Since then, he says, it's gotten a lot greener and has grown almost an inch. He says he likes watching his plant grow and taking care of it." kind of think that it just adds something to the house that wouldn't be there otherwise, a little bit of character, maybe," he says. Picking a plant One reason for Rock's success was his choice of The image shows a close-up of the leaves of an agave plant, characterized by their elongated shape and pointed tips. The plant appears to be in a garden or a pot, with a background that includes hints of soil or gravel. The leaves are dark green with lighter edges, suggesting they may be moist or glossy. There is no visible text or distinctive markings on the leaves themselves. Wandering Jew 10 04.03.2008 VOL.5 ISS.26 Pothos for more information: www.gflora.com 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Sausevier A plant. Certain plants thrive only under certain conditions. Broers, the tropicals expert, says the choice of plant can make a big difference. "Some students come in and pick out a plant based on looks, but there are some plants that are going to do better than others," she says. Broers recommends picking a plant based on its light and care needs. For hardy, low-light plants that don't need a lot of care, check out the list below. Cast Iron Plant Its name says it all. The cast iron plant will survive almost anything. It doesn't require much water, and it doesn't need much light. Basically, it does best if you leave it in a corner and forget that it exists. For students who have no experience with plants, this could be a good starting point. It's not the prettiest, however, so if looks matter to you, you might want to pick something more interesting. Philodendron For students who want a little more excitement, the philodendron is a good choice.The philodendron is a vine-like plant with heart-shaped leaves.The vines grow quickly, so you'll be able to give extra clippings to your friends. The philodendron also doesn't need much water or light. It tells you when it needs water by sagging or wilting, so you'll have a built-in watering alarm. Spider plant The pothos is in the same family as the philodendron, but it's a bit different. Its leaves are not heart-shaped like the philodendron, but rather more slender. Its leaves are also variegated, with stripes of yellow or white. The pothos also grows quickly and is easy to share with friends. Sansevieria The spider plant, also known as the airplane plant, is another plant that you'll be able to share with your friends. Out of the main plant, the spider plant grows spindles that hang down like lazy arms. New plants start growing at the end of the spindles, and soon enough you'll have plants for all of your friends. It prefers indirect light. --- The tall, stiff leaves of the sansevieria resemble the biting tongue of some mothersin-law,giving the plant its nickname,motherin-law's tongue.The tall leaves are usually dark green with yellow stripes. Dracaena Dracaena come in many forms, such as the dragon tree, the corn plant and the Janet Craig. Ribbon dracaena is sold as lucky bamboo, although it is not truly bamboo. Dracaena are especially helpful in cleaning the air, and they tolerate inconsistent watering and light. feature The wandering jew is another vine-like plant that thrives with little light. The red and purple shade of the leaves makes it one the more interesting varieties. It prefers indirect light. Wandering Jew When and where When watering plants, it's important to remember that too much water is not a good thing. lannotti, the master gardener, says the best way to determine if your plant needs water is to push your finger into the soil. If the soil is damp about 1 inch deep, your plant is fine. Otherwise, it probably needs water. Plants will also need food to survive, just like humans. lannotti says the simplest way to feed your plants is to use plant spikes, lannotti recommends watering plants over the sink, if possible.This will keep the water from ruining any furniture and also let excess water drain out. If the plant is too big to water over the sink, keep an impermeable saucer, bowl or even a plastic placemat below your plant to keep the water from hurting your furniture or floor.To avoid rotting the roots, water only when the soil feels dry and never let the plant sit in standing water."If you water them every couple of weeks you'll have less damage to your plants and less damage to your furniture," lannotti says. "They take the industrial edge off and make the space actually feel like home. It's kind of like putting art on the wall, except you have to take care of it." —Marie Iannotti, master gardener which are small sticks of fertilizer that can be pushed into the soil."You do need to feed them because they're not going to get the nutrients from anywhere else," lanotti says."Plant spikes are probably the easiest way to do it because you don't have to worry about them." er plant also known as the plant that your friends. er plant lazy arms. of the leave plants ers indirect Cyclamen Photos by: Marla Keown 04.03.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 26 11 --- WILCC Tickets Available Friday April 4 @ 10am WILCC Tickets Available Friday April 4 @ 10am all ages May 14 - 6pm rain or shine!

To get the freshest flavor for your hummus, Charlie Hershey,cook at Mad Greek Restaurant, 907 Massachusetts St., recommends buying dry garbanzo beans and soaking them overnight before putting them in a blender or food processor. If you consider yourself a hummus connoisseur, you already know that hummus tastes different everywhere you go. Some types have a strong garlic taste while others have a lemon flavor. If your taste buds crave something spicier, add some cayenne pepper to the mix. Experiment with ingredients to find the recipe you like best.

Wash the bottle caps with warm, soapy water, but don't let them soak too long or they'll rust. No amount of washing will rid them of the beer smell, but don't worry—you won't notice it when the project is finished. 2. Lay out the bottle caps on a paper towel to dry. 3. Search through your favorite magazines, and pick a cute picture or saying to put inside your bottle cap. 4. Once the bottle caps are dry, use a hammer and a small nail to poke holes in each one. Be sure to put the holes toward the top edge of the bottlecap to make your job easier later. I suggest linking two or three bottle caps together to make a longer keychain. If you want to do this make sure that all but the bottom bottle cap have two holes, one for the top and one for the bottom. 5. Cut out the picture or saying, using a bottle cap as a guide for the shape. 6. Nestle the picture or saying into the bottom of the bottle cap, making sure that it lays flat. Trim the picture if need be. 7. Pour some Mod Podge into the bottlecap, making sure that the hole is not plugged. Mod Podge is white when wet, but it will dry clear. Be patient: It could take as long as a week for the glob to dry. 8. Once the bottle caps are dry, attach the split rings to them by separating the wires using your fingernails and looping the wire through the hole. 9. Attach your keys to your new keychain, and you're good to go.

There are 175 colorful benches around Lawrence and several large murals created by these youth. Elise Stawarz estawarz@kansan.com Sarah Garlow, a 21-year-old Lawrence resident, used to be a lot like students attending the University of Kansas. She was going to college out of her home state of Kansas and living a normal college life, except that she was dealing with depression.The depression was so debilitating that it was hard for her to go to class, Garlow says. Garlow eventually decided to leave the University and moved back home to Lawrence, but she needed a job to support herself. Like most people on a job search, she checked the classified ads where she came across a listing for Van Go Mobile Arts. Before long she'd signed a yearlong contract and was ready to work. Van Go, located at 715 New Jersey St., is a program that pays youths ages 14-21 to do commissioned artwork around Lawrence and in surrounding communities. Youths must be living in poverty or have a condition, such as depression or a learning disorder, that causes them difficulties in school to be accepted into the program.The program is divided into two groups.JAMS (Jobs in the Arts Make Sense) for 14 to 18-year-olds and Life JAMS for 18 to 21-year-olds.JAMS accepts 21 kids at a time and holds three 8-week sessions a year.Kids may return as many times as they'd like.Life JAMS is made up of six people, and each signs a yearlong contract. Van Go is more than just a job, though.The program cares about its participants.Sometimes the staff give participants a self-esteen boost, but other times it works to help them achieve life goals, according to Program Director Jim Lewis. "We try to help the kids figure out what they want to do next," Lewis says. "We help them apply for financial aid, help them fill out applications and the social worker takes them on field trips to job sites so that they know what's out there." While most Van Go participants don't go on to work in the art field, Danielle Christie, a 20-year-old from St. Joseph, Mo, would like to take up art, specifically photography, as a profession. She says she hopes being in Van Go will land her an internship as well as improve her overall ability as an artist. "I learn about different kinds of art," Christie says."I will be able to improve my skills." Cathy Ledeker Van Go's art director, has been with the program for about eight years. She came up with the group's current project, which is to make a nature scene out of pillars and decorate it with recycled items. Recently, Life JAMS members worked on this project by doing things like meticulously gluing tightly rolled newspaper to cardboard poles. Ledeker says she was originally attracted to her position at Van Go because she likes the kids and she has the ability to create projects that are innovative and unique. Some of their more famous projects include the painted benches downtown, the mural outside the Lawrence Public Library and another mural in City Hall. Because the year is divided into three sessions, there are usually three main projects throughout the year. In the summer, the group works on benches, While the commissioned pieces and shows help with the cost of running the program, various grants and foundations pay for the bulk of Van Go's expenses. Kids in the JAMS group start out at minimum wage, with the opportunity for raises, and the Life JAMS group makes a few dollars more.21-year-old Van Go participate Andre Padilla says he makes $8.70 an hour. which sell for around $800, according to Lewis. Patrons of these works of art include local stores and the City of Lawrence itself. In the spring they create a mural, and in the fall there are a variety of activities, including beading, fabric work and glass making. Some of their crafts are sold during the group's annual Adornment Show, which takes place every year after Thanksgiving. The group also spends time working on commissioned pieces. Van Go will soon expand, with a construction project to be completed in the summer.The new space will allow VanGo to broaden its programming and help more youths in need. For more information about Van Go, visit its Web site at www.van-go.org, or stop by in person to buy a piece of art. Van Go Mobile Arts, Inc. provides year-round after-school and summer programs that employs about 22 youths every season.

After you have run the sheet through a dryer cycle, you can use it as a dust cloth around your home. Tony Hoch, a KU graduate with a masters degree in geophysics, says the technology on which Swiffer is based follows the concept of using a used dryer sheet as a dust cloth. While in the dryer, the sheet loses its fabric-softening liquid fabrie softener sheets SPRING FRESH 160 fabrie softener sheets Value and gathers static electricity. When you remove the sheet from the dryer, it's charged, which attracts dust to it. This makes dusting easy because the particles stick to the sheet. As a kid, I remember dusting a shelf by just sweeping the dust off it. I always wondered what good that did, because I wasn't getting rid of the dust, moving it. Dryer sheets can take care of this problem. - Peyton Baldwin Do Do Your Research... Earth Friendly Fuels are for everyone DID YOU KNOW?

Those layers of dust accumulating on your TV, bookshelves and dressers aren't that noticeable. The carpet doesn't look that bad—it doesn't have to be vacuumed today. You washed your bedding two weeks ago—it's still clean. The tiny creatures living in the dust and dirt in your house and in your bed are very happy when you neglect cleaning. 10 Clean regularly to keep dust mites at bay. Dust mites loom in several dusty areas in every person's place of residence. Barbara Ogg, professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln who has a doctorate in entomology, says dust mites feed on skin scales, dander and feathers. Dust mites lurk in places where these items are found, such as beds, overstuffed furniture, carpet and pet bedding. Dust mites thrive in high-humidity conditions, especially when the humidity is at a level greater than or equal to 50 percent, Ogg says. People who don't have air conditioning or live in climates with more humidity have more dust mites than others. Ogg says these dust-loving pests can be harmful to your health. It is common for people to be allergic to the dust mite particles in house dust. These particles can cause symptoms similar to hay fever: itchiness, itchy eyes, runny nose and coughing. Ogg says. People who have serious allergies may have respiratory problems and even asthma related to the dust mites in their houses. People can get rid of dust mites by reducing humidity in their homes to less than 50 percent, which, Ogg says, usually isn't a problem in the winter when furnaces are running, but, in the summer, a dehumidifier or air conditioner is necessary to maintain low moisture in your house. To prevent dust mites, wash bedding regularly and dry it in a hot dryer, Ogg says. Dry-clean wool blankets or other bedding that can't be washed. Use synthetic pillows, as feather pillows harbor more mites. Ogg says another way to keep the mites away is to regularly vacuum areas where pets sleep and overstuffed furniture where people spend a lot of time, and to use a mattress enclosure to keep dust mites out of your mattress. People who have allergies might want to have hardwood floors instead of carpeting. Ogg suggests. So the next time you are tempted to put off vacuuming or dusting, think about those creepy little critters living in your stuff, and fire up that Dirt Devil. - Kaitlyn Syring UNITY TOUR 2008 31st & Snoop Dogg METRO SPECIAL GUEST FICTION PLANE SR.COM SNOOPDOGG.COM ON SALE SAT.

No purchase necessary. No online loan applications J good for you bad for you health COFFEE? YES, PLEASE. Joe Vinson is a firm believer in the positive effects of coffee. Vinson, professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, has studied the effects of coffee and tea, tells his students to drink coffee before taking his tests because it can stimulate brain activity and increase short-term memory. Drinking coffee can also reduce the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. In addition to improving your ability to remember those last minutes of cramming, it appears that people who drink coffee also retain cognitive sharpness longer into their lives. FORGUNDE EIGHT OCTLOCK COFFEE HAZELNUT Vinson says that while the effects of caffeine can be both good and bad, the antioxidants in coffee can outweigh the negative effects it possesses. Some studies show that soda may increase the risk of heart disease while coffee decreases that same risk. Vinson says people who already have Type 2 diabetes should stay away from caffeinated coffee,but for those who don't,coffee can reduce the chances of getting it later in life.Vinson says tea does not have these benefits. Antioxidants in coffee can also improve your body's ability to use energy, and this results in better athletic performance.Vinson suggests drinking a dose of coffee before working out as it can increase endurance and speed. As with anything else, moderation is important. Vinson says no amount of coffee will necessarily harm your body, as long as you can get to sleep at night. - Jeff Briscoe VERDICT: GOOD FOR YOU WWW.JACKPOTMUSICHALL.COM JACKPOT! 943 MASS LAWRENCE KS 785 832 1085 THU 3 BENEATH HELL'S GRIP AT GRAVE'S END • TRUCULENCE SAT 5 BLACK GASOLINE THE OLD BLACK ★ MON 7 SICK BIRD DEADMAN FLATS * DEVICE * A BENEFIT FOR THE WETLANDS WED 9 THE KINETIKS THE ALICE ROSE • THE ABC'S TUE IS FADED EMBRACE EARLY ALL AGES 7 PM LEFT ON NORTH OF WOICE & VIECE + MORA MARIE * THU 10 WHY?

Her father was not in attendance. One choice shattered my relationship with my dad, but gave me the strength to stand for what is right for me I have talked to my dad only twice in the last seven years, and those two conversations ended badly. Our relationship has not been the same since I moved out when I was 17 and went to live with my mom. While I regret that my dad and I don't have a better relationship, I don't regret leaving. Before I was a year old, my parents got divorced. My older brother Parker and I lived with my dad, who had received primary custody because mom's job moved her around a lot. Both my mom and dad remarried within the next couple years. Eventually, Parker chose to live with mom because he and my stepmom fought all the time. Then a new baby was welcomed into our home, giving me a younger half-sibling. It was in the next couple years that things changed for me. I found myself wondering why I always seemed to be on the outside of our supposedly happy family. My dad showed some affection toward me, but not as frequently or with as much enthusiasm as my younger brother received. Admittedly, I was a little jealous of my brother because he always seemed to get whatever he wanted. This secluded feeling continued throughout the 17 years I stayed with my dad. I met Mark my sophomore year of high school. He was a senior and the first guy who had shown a real interest in me. We began dating in January and by summer, Mark and I became really close and I was pretty sure that one day I would marry him. Before he left for college, we had sex for the first time. My stepmother, who throughout my life was notorious for looking through my drawers to find out information about me, somehow learned that Mark and I had had sex. Turmoil ensued. Mark and I were forbidden to see each other or even speak to each other. My dad and stepmom set up a meeting with Mark's parents to talk about the situation. Later, Mark's dad brought him to our house to discuss what was going to happen. It was humiliating. My parents said they were holding each other back from actually attacking Mark. They told us we had betrayed their trust. They also mentioned they could press charges for statutory rape because Mark was 18 and I was 16, or they could get a restraining order. The outcome was a set of new guidelines. Mark and I were not to see each other. We could have monitored e-mails, and in December we would revisit the issue and maybe we would get to see each other again. In hindsight, I think my parents were trying to show me that I was better off without a serious relationship, but I don't think they handled it very well. I gave my parents all my passwords and user names to any e-mails or social-networking sites I had. At night I was allowed to read Mark's e-mails. This went on for a couple weeks, then suddenly my parents told me I had to break up with Mark because they didn't think the arrangement was working out. Mark and I had done everything they had asked us to do, and we weren't sneaking around, so I didn't understand how it wasn't working. PATRICIA BARRA By Peyton Baldwin During the next couple months, I rebelled in secret. My dad and stepmom told my teachers I was not allowed to use the Internet. I had my best friend create an account for me, and she typed e-mails to Mark for me. I was forbidden to go or do anything besides school, work and basketball. I wasn't allowed to go to prom, and ended up working at the grocery store that night, but my boss and co-workers managed to get me a dress, makeup, and even a date so I could go for an hour. I was afraid of what my parents would do if they found out about my rebellions. My room, work and school became my sanctuaries. I loved being around friends, who offered their shoulders almost daily for me to cry on.And every day when I got home, I would go straight to my room, avoiding my parents as much as possible. I felt like I lived in a jail. During this time I also had weekly phone calls with my mom. She was living in Tennessee, and after my dad and stepmom went back on their the Stephamn went back on their original guidelines, I called to tell her what was going on. She reacted in a completely different way. She wasn't happy that I'd had sex, but she told me that I was the one who had to live with my actions and she didn't know Mark so she wouldn't judge him. She worried about me. I spent hours crying on the phone with her. One time she even asked if I The last day of my junior year, my 17th birthday, I packed up my stuff and left my dad's house. My parents and I had discussed me leaving when my mom came to pick me up, but I did not want to wait two more days. When my dad got home on my birthday I told him I was leaving and staying with my grandparents until my mom came, but he told me I couldn't leave yet. Later, everyone left the house, and I immediately called my mom. She told me I had to follow my heart and do what I thought was right. Something clicked. I realized that even though I had made decisions that my dad didn't agree with, I had followed my heart. That thought ran through my head as I loaded up my entire life in my car. I remember running down the stairs with boxes and stumbling back up the stairs for more. I desperately wanted to be gone before anyone returned home. I thought if someone came home they would stop me, or worse, I would chicken out and not go. killing or committing suicide. In the middle of my junior year, I decided I wanted to live with my mom. I wrote my dad a letter and told him I was leaving, and I left it in his truck. The next day I had a note in my car from him. He told me he didn't agree with my decision, and that I had to stay until the end of school because I was not going to ruin my education, too. was thinking of committing suicide. In the days and months that followed, I settled into life in Tennessee. Mark and his family had helped drive my stuff to Tennessee, and my mom got to know Mark. It was hard to allow myself to get to know my stepdad because I was so afraid he would think I had messed up my life, too. Eventually, I did open up and he has shown me you don't have to be the perfect child for a parent to be proud of you. Mark and I continued our relationship throughout the three years I spent in Tennessee. I finished high school and graduated from Pellissippi, a community college in Knoxville, Tenn. In 2004 Mark and I were married in our hometown of Burlington, Kan. My dad did not attend, even though he was invited. I went to see him before beginning school at KU that fall. He was upset because Mark and I had put a marriage announcement in the paper. I don't think he ever understood the huge mix of emotions I felt right before walking down the aisle. Part of me was sad and disappointed, but another part was relieved. We've both hurt each other, and I've sent a letter apologizing for not trying harder to communicate and for hurting him. I think he is waiting for the day when I will come back and tell him he was right all along and I am leaving Mark. But that won't happen. I love Mark, and we've been happily married for four years. I cannot apologize for that, and I hope someday my dad will accept that I made the decisions that were right for me.

Downtown bars, such as the Red Lyon, stocked up on alcohol in preparation for Saturday night's Final Four game, when Kansas takes on North Carolina. BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN Bars all over Lawrence have been busy restocking their alcohol supplies this week to prepare for tomorrow's Final Four game against North Carolina. Andy Kroeker, manager of Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St., said a lot of bars were in the midst of recovery from the sea of Jayhawk fans that flooded downtown Lawrence and ransacked them dry after last Sunday's victory against Davidson. "This whole block was ground zero so everyone just sold out of everything," he said. "People would come in with these huge orders of like eight beers and 10 different kinds of shots, and towards the end of the night we had to be like, 'alright, we don't have any of this stuff', so they just took whatever we had left." Kroeker said Fatso's would have an extra supply of alcohol for Saturday's game, and he scheduled extra staff to handle the inevitable plethora of fans. Chris Elliot, Independence senior and bartender at Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., said that judging from "We were super packed on Sunday," he said. "We ran out of all kinds of beer and liquor, so by the end of the night we just had to start customizing our own shots." what he saw Sunday, he would probably have to work a triple shift all day and all night on Saturday. Elliot said Quinton's would be completely restocked for Saturday's game and the upstairs bar would open early at 3 p.m. Sarah Shields, a bartender at Jet Lag, 610 Florida St., said the owners bought four brand new, high-definition, flat screen TVs this week for fans to watch both Final Four games throughout the day.

ODD NEWS Woman saves her dog by biting pit bull's nose MINNEAPOLIS — Amy Rice feared for her dog's life when a pit bull jumped over a fence into her yard and attacked her pooch. So she took matters into her own mouth. Rice says she bit the pit bull on the nose Friday after trying to pull the dog's jaws off her Labrador retriever, Ella. The dog had jumped a fence to get into Rice's northeast Minneapolis yard, and Rice says she feared the pit bull would kill Ella. "I didn't plan it, that's what happened. I broke the skin and had pit bull blood in my mouth," said Rice, 38. "I knew what happened, and I knew that it wasn't good." The pit bull was quarantined Wednesday by Minneapolis Animal Control officers while rabies tests are being completed. Rice's doctor will determine whether she needs shots for rabies. Arkansas toddlers can no longer get married LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas' marriage-age crisis is over. A law that mistakenly allowed anyone — even toddlers — to marry with parental permission was repealed by a measure signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Mike Beebe, ending months of embarrassment for the state and confusion for county clerks. Lawmakers didn't realize until after the end of last year's regular session that a law they approved, intended to establish 18 as the minimum age for marriage, instead removed the minimum age to marry entirely. An extraneous "not" in the bill allowed anyone who was not pregnant to marry at any age with permission. The bill read:"In order for a person who is younger than eighteen (18) years of age and who is not pregnant to obtain a marriage license, the person must provide the county clerk with evidence of parental consent to the marriage." Some lawmakers called for a special session last year, saying the error would make it easy for pedophiles to take advantage of the law. Gov. Mike Beebe said he didn't see any imminent crisis and said the chances of children marrying under the law were slim. Legislators, however, had the chance for a do-over this week when Beebe convened a special session to consider a hike in the state's severance tax on natural gas. They repealed the botched law, and reinstated 17 as the minimum age to marry for boys and 16 for girls. Burglar plays dead in funeral home Police and the Crespo Funeral Home said Wednesday they had no idea what the 23-year-old Spanish man was trying to steal in the March 17 break-in at Burjassot, a small town just outside Valencia. MADRID, Spain — A burglar who broke into a funeral home tried to fool police by playing dead, but two things gave him away. First, he breathed. Plus, he wore grungy clothes rather than the Sunday best of those settling in for eternal rest. Neighbors living nearby alerted police when they heard the front door of the business being forced open in the middle of the night. MONROE, Ga. - The mystery of a tire that plunged from the sky and crashed through the roof of a home here now has an explanation. Police officers arrived with the owner, and eventually found the suspect lying on a table in a glassed-in chamber used for viewings of deceased people during wakes, a local police official said from Buriassot people to be dressed in suits, in nice clothes that look presentable. This guy was in everyday clothes that were wrinkled and dirty," the police official said. Department rules barred her from giving her name. Federal Aviation Administration officials told home owner Mark Brown on Tuesday that the wheel plummeted to earth from a helicopter owned by the Loganville-based Forever Green Landscaping. The wheel is part of equipment used to haul the helicopter around the landing pad during maintenance. The funeral home said it was mystified about what the man could have been after, because there were no valuables or cash inside the funeral parlor. "He was trying to fake being dead, but he was breathing," the officer said. Helicopter tire falls from sky, hits house The company's owner told the Athens Banner-Herald he didn't know his helicopter had lost a wheel. Brown said he and his wife returned home last Wednesday to find pictures knocked to the floor and cracks in a hallway's drywall. He crawled into the attic, where he saw a hole about the size of a loaf of bread in his roof, with a tire peeking through "The custom here is for dead Officials said the equipment should have been removed before flight. "When I crawled up there and saw it pushing through the roof, I thought, 'I must be dreaming,' Brown, a mechanic, told the Banner-Herald. STATE Tased man's death under investigation STATE Associated Press TOPEKA — The local sheriff's department says it might not know for weeks whether a deputy's Taser shocks killed a man in a brief confrontation, but it continues to face criticism over the incident. Walter E. Haake Jr., a 59-year-old Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. worker, died early Sunday after an ambulance and two deputies responded to a report that he was having a medical emergency. Haake was handcuffed but didn't respond when deputies asked him to rise, according to various accounts. After he refused repeatedly, a deputy used her Taser. Haake was in his car at Goodyear's north Topeka plant, and the deputies asked him to get out. "They had his keys, where was he going to go?" Marc Luetje, a co-worker who said he witnessed the incident, told The Topeka Capital-Journal. Shawnee County Sheriff Dick Barta said he won't know whether the Taser killed Haake until an autopsy report is released. His spokesman said such a report could take weeks. Barta said the two deputies involved had unblemished records and remained on duty. The incident is under investigation.

GaDuGi director of survivor services, Elyse Towey, said that because of major federal budget cuts, the state and local governments had less money to fund sexual abuse clinics. Towey said despite tight purse strings, they would maintain all survivor services when making decisions about their budget cuts. "These women are our sisters, our daughters, our auctions," Towey said. "If it were my loved one, I would want to know someone was there to hold their hand through their process no matter what." Six visited Lawrence's GaDuGi Safe Center to show the government's role in awareness for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. "We have come a long way, especially in Douglas County," Six said, "but we still have a long way to go." Six said that while Lawrence was doing well, many other towns in Kansas didn't have the resources to be as effective. He said the state would focus on decreasing the amount of rapes in Kansas and making sure those who do suffer from sexual assault are taken care of despite the monetary issues. "We are dedicated to making sure victims know their rights and services," Six said, "and that those services are of the highest quality." Laura Montgomery, GaDuGi treasurer and board member, said it was especially important for people in Lawrence to be tuned in because most sexual assault victims are college-aged, 16-24 years old. "You can either ignore it," Montgomery said, "or you can become a part of trying to end the violence." Montgomery and Towey asked students to help by volunteering or using their campus resources to fundraise for the center. She said they relied on community help just to buy food for Thursday's conference. "Starbucks donated the coffee today, and we had to ask our board members for donations for snacks," Towey said. "Before, it wouldn't have been an issue." She said universities breed an environment that attracts sexual violence. "Students who live in dorms or other college environments think they are safe," Towey said, "but sexual predators are all over college campuses." —Edited by Samuel Lamb POLITICS Role of first spouses changing Robert J. Do Institute of Poli UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com Jennny Sanford, first lady of South Carolina, spoke about her role as a first spouse at the Dole Institute Thursday night. With a bachelor's degree in finance, Stanford helped reorganize operations in South Carolina, resulting in savings for taxpayers. Expectations of first spouses are changing in the midst of the upcoming election, senior fellow of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, Jennifer Schmidt said. Jessie Fetterling/KANSAN First lady of South Carolina. Jenny Sanford, shared how she handles those expectations at a conference at the Dole Institute Thursday night. "They called me a Hillary," Sanford said. "That is a bad word; it means they think you are running your husband's affairs." Sanford was the campaign manager for her husband, Mark Sanford, in his 1994 run for Congress and again in his 2002 campaign for governor, all while raising their four young boys. Sanford said some people thought that she had her nose in her husband's decisions. "I am just making the trains run on time," Sanford said. Schmidt said that when it came to politics, people had a view of what that person should be instead of who that person actually was. "You've got to know who you are, and you have to be willing to take the criticism." Sanford said. Sanford said that she told her children that they were held to a different standard because of the family they were in. Schmidt commented on governor Kathleen Sebelius' husband, Gary, who likes to call himself the first dude. "He doesn't have the same ceremonial expectations as he would if he were another gender," Schmidt said. Hillary Clinton said her experience as first lady gave her credibility on the White House. She said the role of a first spouse was fluid and women are taking a more active role than just hosting tea parties. "I would say that her experience as first lady, coupled with her Senate experience, would be a better way to put it," Sanford said. "I think it's ridiculous in this day and age that you would criticize a woman for wanting to do anything," Sanford said. Sanford said that her first priority was raising her boys. She said she was highly criticized for putting them in private school, but it was the best decision she ever made because it gave her children a place where they could stick together. "The Lord only gave me one chance to raise these children", Sanford said. Sanford's husband is thought to be a possible choice for a vice presidential candidate for John McCain. Schmidt asked Sanford if he intended to accept a nomination. Sanford said that the chances of that happening were small and they were just focusing on raising their children well amidst the fame of their father. Sanford said that the position of first spouse in the White House would be up for interpretation. -Edited by Russell Davies STUDY CDC researches infant neglection, abuse ATLANTA — About one in 50 infants in the U.S. have been neglected or abused, according to the first national study of the problem in that age group. Nearly a third of the victims Most of these cases involved neglect, not physical abuse. In the case of the newborns, experts said the data suggests drug abuse by the mother may were one week old or younger when the maltreatment was reported, government researchers said Thursday. The study focused on children younger than 1. have been the cause for reports of neglect, but they couldn't be certain. Maternal drug abuse is often discovered through blood tests while newborns are still in the hospital, CDC researchers and others said. "That is the story here," said Dr. Howard Dubowitz, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. The researchers counted more than 91,000 infant victims of abuse and neglect during the study period Oct.1,2005 to Sept. 30,2006.About 30,000 of those cases were newborns aged one week or younger. The information came from a national database of cases verified by protective services agencies in 45 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Other studies looked at national child abuse and neglect cases, but this is believed to be the first to focus on infants, said study co-author Rebecca Leeb, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The results mirror what a study in Canada found, said Leeb. "We certainly were distressed" by the study's results, said Ileana Arias, director of the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.

Sgt. Paul Fellers, of the Lawrence Police Department said the department had requested assistance from five outside agencies to help control crowds downtown. Fellers said he was unsure how many more police officers would be on duty during the Final Four games than were on duty during the previous NCAA games, but that all five agencies said they would send officers.

Riot police and other security forces were deployed to the suburbs ASSOCIATED PRESENTS ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS HARARE, Zimbabwe HARARE, Zimbabwe — Intruders ransacked offices of the main opposition party and police detained foreign journalists Thursday in an ominous sign that President Robert Mugabe might turn to intimidation and violence in trying to stave off an electoral threat to his 28-year rule. Five days after the vote, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission still had not released results on presidential election despite Earlier, Mugabe apparently launched his campaign for an expected run-off presidential ballot even before the official results of Saturday's election were announced, with state media portraying the opposition as divided and controlled by former colonial ruler Britain. increasing international pressure, including from former U.N. chief Kofi Annan, who recently mediated an end to Kenya's postelection violence. The opposition Movement for Democratic Change already asserted its leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, won the presidency outright, but said it was prepared to compete in any run-off. The police raids came a day after official results showed Mugabe's party had lost control of parliament's 210-member lower house. The election commission was slow on the 60 elected seats in the Senate, releasing the first returns late Thursday that gave five seats each to the opposition and ruling party. MDC secretary-general Tendai Bitti said hotel rooms used as offices by the opposition at a Harare hotel were ransacked by intruders he believed were either police or agents of the feared Central NCAA 2008 FINAL FOUR SAN ANTONIO NCAA Men's Final Four Tickets and Hospitality Be in the middle of the Final Four action with the NCAA's Official Ticket and Hospitality Program.

Intelligence Organization. Biti said the raid at the Meikles Hotel targeted "certain people ... including myself." He said Tsvangirai was "safe" but had canceled plans for a news conference. Tsvangirai was arrested and severely beaten by police a year ago after a banned opposition rally. In a further signal of the government's hardening mood, heavily armed riot police surrounded and entered a Harare hotel housing foreign correspondents and took four away, said a man answering the telephone at the hotel. Eight journalists were staying at the York Lodge. "Mugabe has started a crackdown," Biti told The Associated Press. "It is quite clear he has unleashed a war." "An American consular official who visited him at the central police station reported that he was being held for 'violation of the journalism laws,'" Keller said. Bill Keller, executive editor of The New York Times, said Times correspondent Barry Bearak, a winner of a 2002 Pulitzer Prize, was one of those taken into custody. The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists expressed alarm over the detentions and called for the reporters' immediate release. "It is imperative that all journalists, foreign and domestic, be allowed to work freely," said Joel Simon, the group's executive director. The identities of the other reporters hadn't been determined. Zimbabwe lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa said "quite a few" American and British people had been detained by police but no charges had been filed against them. She said some were being questioned individually by police but were not allowed to have lawyers present. Mugabe has ruled since his guerrilla army helped force an end to white minority rule and bring about an independent Zimbabwe in 1980, but his popularity has been battered by an economic freefall that followed the often-violent seizures of white-owned commercial farms in 2000. Seemingly laying the groundwork for a Mugabe run-off campaign, the state-run Herald newspaper said the ruling ZANU-PF party was running neck and neck with the opposition in the vote count, and it highlighted divisions among Mugabe's foes. The Herald also charged that Tsvangirai would give farmland back to whites. CAMPUS Class cancellations not yet determined BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com Classes are still on...for now In 1988, the provost cancelled classes for the entire school the day after the KU championship victory. The rumors suggest that if Self can pull off the big win, Chancellor Robert Hemenway will follow suit. University of Kansas students have been calling the chancellor's office all week to verify rumors that classes will be cancelled Tuesday if the Kansas basketball team wins the championship Monday night, according to Jessica Pryor, senior administrative associate to the chancellor's office. Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said students should plan on going to class as usual. "We have to get past Saturday first," Cohen said. Pryor said some students were so sure the Jayhawks would win and classes would be canceled that they were planning trips for that day. "They are a little ahead of themselves," Pryor said. "The last time that happened was 20 years ago." Pryor said she hadn't heard of anything from the chancellor about canceled classes but that the process would be similar to inclement weather closings. "You won't know until the last minute," Pryor said. Cohen said that he heard reports on TV that the University always cancelled classes for championship victories. "The last time that actually happened was in 1988," he said. Brian Clausen and Brittan Young, Overland Park sophomores, said they would not go to class even if it were scheduled as usual. "If we win the national championship,we deserve to have class off." Clausen said. Young said the chancellor should call off classes even if the Jayhawks don't win. Cohen said that the basketball players themselves would be in class the next day and students should do the same. "Everybody would be too depressed to go to class," Young said. "No one would participate." "We have to remember that we represent the same school the players do," Cohen said. "Stay Jayhawks, stay classy." Cohen, who was a KU student in 1988, said it was easy for things to get out of control after the game. He said he hoped students wouldn't let the exuberance of the expected victory Monday take over common sense. He said the celebration committee would mostly be concerned with student safety.

Still, flying on U.S. airlines has never been safer, according to analysts. "You just hope and pray that (airlines) do their homework, because our lives are at stake," said Grant Schleisner, who arrived at Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday after a 12-hour flight from Auckland, New Zealand. "I'd rather miss a flight than be put on a plane that you're not sure about," he said. Analysts say any financial impact stemming from fliers concerns about lax maintenance is far outweighed by the punishment the airline industry is taking because of high fuel prices and economic weakness. And most travelers say they have faith in U.S. carriers and their regulators. Schleisner, a 63-year-old retiree from San Luis Obispo, Calif., applauded the airliners' decisions to cancel flights. In recent years, public sentiment about regulation has been "less is more, but people have a right to beconcerned," said Daniel Petree. dean of the College of Business at Embry- Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. The public spotlight heated up last month after the FAA took the rare step of ordering the audit of maintenance records at all domestic carriers following reports of missed safety inspections at Dallas-based Southwest Airlines Co. The airline was hit with a record $10.2 million fine for continuing to fly dozens of Boeing 737s that hadn't been inspected for cracks in their fuselages. --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS FRIDAY, APRIL 4,2008 5A LAWMAKING Victim safety poses problem ASSOCIATED PRESS Budget cut proposal would release "well-behaved" prisoners early L. POLICE Tori-Lyny Heaton is seen at her home in West Greenwich, R.L., Monday, Heaton, whose ex-husband previously spent time in prison for beating her but who would have been eligible for early release under Rhode Island's current proposal, opposes early release programs. ASSOCIATED PRESS PROVIDENCE, R.I. Lawmakers from California to Kentucky are trying to save money with a drastic and potentially dangerous budget-cutting proposal: releasing tens of thousands of convicts from prison, including drug addicts, thieves and even violent criminals. Officials acknowledge that the idea carries risks, but they say they have no choice because of huge budget gaps brought on by the slumping economy. "If we don't find a way to better manage the population at the state prison, we will be forced to spend money to expand the state's prison system — money we don't have," said Jeff Neal, a spokesman for Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri. At least eight states are considering freeing inmates or sending some convicts to rehabilitation programs instead of prison, according to an Associated Press analysis of legislative proposals. If adopted, the early release programs could save an estimated $450 million in California and Kentucky alone. A Rhode Island proposal would allow inmates to deduct up to 12 days from their sentence for every month they follow rules and work in prison. Even some violent offenders would be eligible but not those serving life sentences. A plan in Mississippi would offer early parole for people convicted of selling marijuana or prescription drugs. New Jersey, South Carolina and Vermont are considering funneling drug-addicted inmates into treatment, which is cheaper than prison. The prospect of financial savings offers little comfort to Tori-Lynn Heaton, a police officer in a suburb of Providence whose ex-husband went to prison for beating her. He has already finished his prison term, but would have been eligible for early release under the current proposal. "You're talking about victim safety. You're talking about community member safety," she said. But prisons "are one of the most expensive parts of the criminal-justice system," said Alison Lawrence, who studies corrections policy for the National Conference of State Legislatures. "That's where they look to first to cut down some of those costs." In California, where lawmakers have taken steps to cut a $16 billion budget deficit in halfby summer, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed saving $400 million by releasing more than 22,000 inmates who had less than 20 months remaining on their sen- who could see 1,800 inmates released in his area. In Kentucky, which faces a $1.3 billion deficit, lawmakers approved legislation Wednesday to grant early release to some prisoners. Initial estimates were that the plan could affect as many as 2,000 inmates and save nearly $50 million. If the governor signs the bill, the exact number of prisoners would be determined by prison officials. "You're talking about victim safety. You're talking about community member safety." Violent convicts and sexual offenders would be exempt. TORI-LYNN HEATON Providence suburb police officer tences. Violent and sex offenders would not be eligible. "To open the prison door and release prisoners back into communities is merely placing a state burden onto local governments and will ultimately jeopardize safety in communities," said Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer, Gov. Steve Beshear has said Kentucky must review its policies after the state's inmate population jumped 12 percent last year — the largest increase in the nation. Kentucky spends more than $18,600 to house one inmate for a year, or roughly $51 a day. In California, each inmate costs an average of $46,104 to incarcerate. 》 GAY RIGHTS Clinton vows support for same-sex couples ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said she would defend gay rights as president and eliminate disparities for same-sex couples in federal law, including immigration and tax policy. Hillary Clinton Clinton said states such as New Jersey and Massachusetts are extending rights to gay couples "and the federal government should recognize that and should extend the same access to federal benefits across the board. I will very much work to achieve that." ASSOCIATED PRESS "I would be very distressed if Pennsylvania were to adopt that kind of mean-spirited referendum and I hope it won't happen," she said. Clinton's comments came in an interview with the Philadelphia Gay News that was posted on its Web site Thursday. Clinton said she and her husband have many gay friends that they socialize with when they get the chance. "I've got friends, literally, around the country that I'm close to. It's part of my life," she said. She said that when they ask her why they can't get married, she tells them marriage is a state law. She said that fact helped defeat a constitutional amendment to prohibit same-sex weddings that she said would "enshrine discrimination in the Constitution." "States are really beginning seriously to deal with the whole range of options, including marriage, both under their own state institutions and under the legislative approach," she said. "I anticipate that there will be a very concerted amount of effort in the next couple of years that will move this important issue forward and different states will take different approaches as they did with marriage over Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., speaks to reporters during a news conference upon her arrival at the airport in Burbank, Calif., Thursday. Clinton said she and her husband have many gay friends that they socialize with when they get the chance. Clinton's Democratic rival Barack Obama and Republican John McCain declined the newspaper's invitation for an interview. The paper criticized Obama and highlighted his refusal to talk by leaving a blank space on the front page where his interview would have appeared. Clinton said she opposes a measure that would ban gay marriage in Pennsylvania. many years and you will see an evolution over time." BUSINESS (CONTINUED FROM IA) Goods, 837 Massachusetts St., where Ryan Owens, store owner, said phones have been ringing off the hook with orders all week. "We've been busy with not only customers, but also our Internet Web sites have been shipping KU apparel all over the country," he said. "T-shirts have been the most popular items." Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, also decided to cash in on Jayhawk apparel. It now features a giant T-shirt stand at the front of the store. He said the two T-shirts he has sold the most of have been KU regional locker room T-shirts and the Adidas Final Four celebration shirts the team wore right after its victory against Davidson. John Olson, store manager, said selling T-shirts has become a common business trend around Lawrence this week. "It seems like everyone who has the opportunity to get Final Four apparel is hopping on it," he said. Oslon said Hy-Vee planned on seeing a huge spike in sales on Saturday. "When KU went to the Orange Bowl, business skyrocketed quite a bit," he said. "We know people are having a lot of watch parties, so we plan on seeing a huge spike in snack food sales and other party supplies." Owens said that while Saturday looked like a big day for business in Lawrence, he expected Sunday to be the biggest day of all for Jock's Nitch and other clothing stores. "After we beat UNC – knock on wood – Sunday will be a lot crazier than Saturday," he said.

His professor is explaining the newly added major, Supply Chain Management (SCM). As Dean, Fort Worth, Texas, sophomore, struggles to listen, a few comments catch his attention. When he arrives home, bored with his homework, he decides to Google the major. As he reads more and more, he realizes that the SCM industry may not be such a bore. He said he was overwhelmed with Web sites regarding the various careers within the field, logistics, consulting, transportation and consumer services management to name a few. Dean begins to question whether finance is the most promising major for him. Dean has stumbled upon an industry which gets little attention, yet is one of the most lucrative fields in business today. SCM offers some of the most promising careers for undergraduate, entry-level applicants. According to the The increase in technology has led to SCM becoming a more integral part of companies. With improvements in the Internet, companies have the ability to mon- U. S.

"One of the areas recognized as a great opportunity is optimizing your supply chain." itor all aspects of their supply chain. "The industry has certainly grown in sophistication with technology," Winslow said. "Companies are demanding more proficient people in the development and movement of their products." The SCM industry also offers some of the most competitive salaries in the business field. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average starting salary offer for the winter of 2008 is $49,300. That's 4 percent more than the average salary offer in the winter of 2007. According to NACE, the average is greater than both the industries of finance and accounting. "It's one of the highest paying "It's one jobs for entry-level applicants and it's not a job that's going to go away," said Michelle Frazier, director of implementation and project management for YRC Logistics.

"It's one of the highest paying jobs for entry-level applicants and it's not a job that's going to go away." MICHELLE FRAZIER YRC Logistics The broad reach of the SCM industry can cause students to question the field, yet it is also an aspect that makes it such a lucrative opportunity. The SCM industry offers titles such as agent. Houston, director of finance, economics and decision sciences at the University of Kansas. Houston spearheaded the addition of the SCM major at the University. Added in the Fall 2007. The University is one of the only schools in the Midwest to offer the SCM major. Prior to the addition of the major, companies in Kansas City, Wichita and Topeka were forced to recruit from Arizona State, Michigan State or Ohio State. Now companies such as Hallmark, Yellow Freight, YRC Logistics and Spirit AeroSystems are able to save money by recruiting at the University. "We have never had recruiters more excited," said David Byrd-Stadler, KU employee relations coordinator. "These companies are able to save time and money. They no longer have to travel great distances to find the students they want." The University felt a push from local recruiters for a major in SCM. The faculty proposed the new major two years ago and approved it in the spring of 2008. With the addition of the new major companies are flocking to the University in hopes of gaining well-trained professionals for their businesses. While the major has only four graduates for the upcoming spring, with the way recruiters are demanding SCM professionals, the future looks promising. STATE Edited by Jared Duncan Judge to decide whether abortion records will be authenticated BY ANDALE GROSS ASSOCIATED PRESS OLATHE — A Johnson County District Court judge will decide later this month whether to let the state authenticate abortion records in a case against Planned Parenthood.

But he said he will not rule on the records until April 28. has in his files. Kline doesn't doubt the documents are authentic copies, but he wants state health officials to say so on the record.

It also faces 85 misdemeanors for allegedly failing to maintain records between 2003 and 2006, failing to determine the viability of a fetus before late-term abortions at various times in 2003, and performing unlawful late-term abortions at various times in 2003.

"This judge knows as every judge does that this is a very contentious issue," Brownlie said of the debate over abortion and privacy.

"It's important for people to understand it's not about new information," Brian Burgess, spokesman with Kline's office, reiterated Thursday. The preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for May 27 to 28. Kline, a Republican who opposes abortion, has investigated Planned Parenthood before. But Paul Morrison, who replaced Kline as attorney general, cleared the agency of criminal wrongdoing last year. Morrison has since resigned from office.

MILITARY BY TERENCE HUNT ASSOCIATED PRESS NATO allies support missile defense system BUCHAREST, Romania — NATO allies gave President Bush strong support Thursday for a missile defense system in Europe and urged Moscow to drop its angry opposition to the program. The unanimous decision strengthened Bush's hand for weekend talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said it was "a breakthrough document on missile defense for the alliance." At Bush's first NATO summit in 2001, "perhaps only two allies gave even lukewarm support for the notion of missile defense," Rice said. This was Bush's final meeting with members of the 26-nation alliance, and White House officials described it as a day of freeheeling talks in which leaders and their foreign ministers got off script and gathered in crowds to debate the wording of a statement. "It doesn't happen in NATO meetings a lot," said Bush's national security adviser, Stephen Hadley. He said a group of leaders gathered around German Chancellor Angela Merkel to talk about putting former Soviet republics Ukraine and Georgia on a path toward NATO membership, a step she opposes. Moscow heatedly opposes any further eastward expansion of the alliance. Summit leaders refused to grant the two countries a membership plan now, but said they would look at the issue again in December and they empowered their foreign ministers to decide it. The Balkan nations of Albania and Croatia were invited to join the alliance. Macedonia was turned aside at the insistence of Greece, which says the country's name implies a territorial claim to a northern region of Greece, also called Macedonia. France helped resolve a sensitive issue for NATO by pledging to send as many as 1,000 more combat troops to Afghanistan's eastern part. That would free up U.S. forces to move into the south, home of fierce fighting with Taliban and al-Qaida forces. Canada had threatened to pull its soldiers from the south unless it received 1,000 reinforcements from another ally. Some allies, notably Germany, Italy, Turkey and Spain, refuse to send troops to the Afghan front lines because of the unpopularity of the war at home. Hadley said military commanders in Afghanistan are pleading for more forces. Already the largest contributor to NATO's 47,000 troops in Afghanistan, the United States is dispatching an additional 3,500 Marines and readying plans to send in more in the south next year, Hadley said. Putin arrived Thursday evening and joined the leaders at dinner. Putin planned to meet more formally with NATO chiefs Friday. With U.S.-Russian relations in a deep chill, Bush and Putin will meet Saturday and Sunday in the Black Sea resort of Sochi in their last talks before the Russian leader steps down in May. Bush's term ends in January. Rice said the two leaders were expected to produce "a strategic framework" to guide relations between Washington and Moscow under their successors. "Part of that has to be some discussion of missile defense," Rice said, but she stopped short of saying the two leaders would find agreement on the prickly subject. Russia views the system as designed to weaken its military might and upsetting the balance of power in Europe. Bush argues that the shield is not aimed at Russia but at Mideast countries such as Iran. In a series of concessions, the White House has offered to let Moscow monitor the sites and promised to delay activation of the shield until Iran or another adversary tests a missile with a range to reach Europe. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS 7A FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2008 LAWRENCE Station receives new fire truck BY WENDY MCCART editor@kansan.com Lt. Dave Sherman described Station I's new fire truck as if it were the best present he ever unwrapped on his birthday. Station 1 was the first and only fire station in Lawrence to receive a new fire truck last year, a Quint model, because of the City of Lawrence's new fire apparatus replacement program. The program intends to replace all of Lawrence's aging fire trucks with newer, safer models. Fire trucks serve an important purpose in Lawrence. Sherman said it was important to replace the trucks and take advantage of the new safety additions they offered. Administrative Chief Bill Stark is heading up the fire apparatus replacement program for the fire department. Stark said Lawrence's fire trucks were becoming outdated and the city needed to replace them within the next few years. All of Lawrence's fire trucks were put through a ratings test to see if they qualified for replacement, and all of them did. The money for the new trucks will come from the City of Lawrence. A new fire truck, depending on the type, can cost between $600,000 and $1 million, Stark said. Assistant City Manager Cynthia Boecker said the city saw the need to replace the trucks, but the program would not replace all of them immediately. The fire apparatus replacement program most likely will not cause an increase in taxes for citizens of Lawrence or effect other departments funding this year, Boecker said. Buying new trucks may be a better way to spend the city's money. "We have to look into various funds to find the money to replace the trucks," Boecker said. "We are looking to replace two fire trucks for the department this year, and we are looking into the equipment reserve fund or possibly Lawrence's general fund for the money." The old trucks are in need of repair and the cost of maintenance may actually be causing the city to spend more. "They break down and then when you need parts, they are expensive and hard to get," Stark said. "It isn't like taking your Ford into the shop. These trucks have special parts and a lot of times we have to have them special ordered and made somewhere else." Newer fire trucks come with safety equipment for both the firefighters and citizens of Lawrence. Sherman said that, like cars, fire trucks had safety upgrade requirements and additions made to new models. Lawrence's old fire trucks do not have the newer safety systems. Station 1's new truck has safety additions. Sherman said the new equipment was necessary and appreciated. "Our new truck has a foam system built into it so we can deliver fire fighting-foam, spraying it directly from the truck without having to mix it separately," Sherman said. "It also has side-curtain airbags for the passengers and better restraint systems for our air packs." The new truck also protects the public, Sherman said. Whereas old trucks had equipment that sat directly on the apparatus without being tied down, the new trucks had straps that held the equipment so that nothing flew off while the firefighters were driving to an emergency. Lawrence Fire Chief Mark Bradford confirmed that the fire apparatus replacement program was an important issue for the Lawrence Fire Department. Both the City of Lawrence and the fire department are looking into the issue of replacing aging fire trucks as the budget allows. However, the city cannot specifically set a date as to when all of the trucks will be replaced. » ARCHAEOLOGY Oldest American DNA found in feces Edited by Daniel Reyes ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Newly discovered human fossil feces, found in a cave deposit in Oregon, are the oldest evidence of humans in North America. New evidence shows humans lived in North America more than 14,000 years ago, 1,000 years earlier than had previously been known. Fossil feces yielded DNA indicating these early residents were related to people living in Siberia and East Asia, according to a report in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science. WASHINGTON — New evidence shows humans lived in North America more than 14,000 years ago, 1,000 years earlier than had previously been known. Discovered in a cave in Oregon, fossil feces yielded DNA indicating these early residents were related to people living in Siberia and East Asia, according to a report in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science. "This is the first time we have been able to get dates that are undeniably human, and they are 1,000 years before Clovis," said Dennis L. Jenkins, a University of Oregon archaeologist, referring to the Clovis culture, well known for its unique spear-points that have been studied previously. Humans are widely believed to have arrived in North America from Asia over a land-bridge between Alaska and Siberia during a warmer period. A variety of dates has been proposed and some are in dispute. Few artifacts were found in the cave, leading Jenkins to speculate that these people stayed there only a few days at a time before moving on, perhaps following game animals or looking for other food. The petrified poop - coprolites to scientists - is yielding a look at the diet of these ancient Americans, Jenkins said. While the analysis is not yet complete, he said there are bones of squirrels, bison hair, fish scales, protein from birds and dogs and the remains of plants such as grass and sunflowers. The oldest of several coprolites studied is 14,340 calendar years old, said co-author Eske Willerslev, director of the Centre for Ancient Genetics at Denmark's University of Copenhagen. said. "Other pre-Clovis sites have been claimed, but no human DNA has been obtained." "The Paisley Cave material represents, to the best of my knowledge, the oldest human DNA obtained from the Americas," he The date for the new coprolites is similar to that of Monte Verde in southern Chile, where human artifacts have been discovered, added Willerslev. Jenkins said it isn't clear exactly who these people living in the Oregon caves were, since there were few artifacts found. He said there was one stone tool, a hand tool used perhaps to polish or grind or mash bones or fat. "We are not saying that these people were of a particular ethnic group. At this point, we know they most likely came from Siberia or Eastern Asia, and we know something about what they were eating, which is something we can learn from coprolites. We're talking about human signature," he said. "If you are looking for the first people in North America, you are going to have to step back more than 1,000 years beyond Clovis to find them," Jenkins said. The Clovis culture has been dated to between 13,200 and 12,900 calendar years ago and is best known by the tools left behind. Michael Waters, director of the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M University, said the find, along with indications of human presence at other locations, adds to the evidence for a pre-Clovis human presence in North America. To make sure the Oregon cave material hadn't been contaminated with modern DNA, the researchers tested more than 50 people who worked at the site. The DNA testing indicated that the feces belonged to Native Americans in two groups that can be traced to Siberia and East Asia. In their paper the researchers dated the coprolites at 12,300 "carbon years" before the present. Prior to 3,000 years ago, carbon years differed from calendar years, resulting in the date of approximately 14,300 calendar years for the coprolites. The research was funded by the Museum of Natural and Cultural History, University of Oregon; Association of Oregon Archaeologists and the Marie Curie Actions program. NATION Census scraps plans for high-tech count BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Stumbling over its multibillion-dollar plans for a high-tech census, the government says it will go back to counting the nation's 300 million people the old-fashioned way — with paper and pencil. Help wanted: 600,000 temporary workers to do the job. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez told Congress Thursday his department will scrap plans to use handheld computers to collect information from the millions of Americans who don't return the census forms that come in the mail. This was to be the first truly high-tech count in the nation's history. The Census Bureau had awarded a contract to purchase 500,000 of the computers, at a cost of more than $600 million. The contract is now projected to balloon to $1.3 billion, even though bureau will scale back its purchase to only 151,000 computers. The devices, which look like fancy cell phones, will still be used to verify every residential street address in the country, using global positioning system software. That's one of a number of changes that will add as much as $3 billion to the constitutionally mandated 2010 count, pushing the overall cost to more than $14 billion. But workers going door-to-door will not be able to use them to collect information from the residents who didn't return their census forms. About a third of U.S. residents are expected not to return the forms. The Census Bureau plans to hire and train nearly 600,000 temporary workers to do the canvassing. Gutierrez blamed many of the problems on "a lack of effective communication with one of our key contractors" Florida-based Harris Corp. The 2010 census was already on pace to be the most expensive ever. Officials now are scrambling to add money while trying to ensure the count produces reliable population numbers — figures that will be used to apportion seats in Congress and divvy up more than $300 billion a year in federal and state funding. "The increased funding is required to cover additional sites, equipment, software and functions added by the bureau to the program in January of this year," said Harris spokesman Marc Raimondi said in an e-mail. "The handheld devices make up only a portion of the overall automation program." Rep. Alan Mollohan, chairman of the appropriations subcommittee, said both the Census Bureau and Harris Corp. "contributed to today's crisis." However, the Census Bureau's failure to address problems with the computers early on has "turned the crisis into the emergency that we now face," the West Virginia Democrat said. The success or failure of the census could have widespread repercussions. The Constitution has required a census every 10 years since the first one in 1790. It is used to apportion the 435 seats in the House of Representatives among the states. And states and many cities use census data to draw legislative districts. Population numbers are used to calculate billions in state and federal grants for transportation, education and other programs. Private businesses use census data to identify labor and consumer markets.

"It'll follow up on things that happened in the last two debates or weren't covered in the first two," Venkatasubban said. Students of Liberty presidential candidate Adam Wood said that he hoped this debate would allow candidates an opportunity to comment on other coalitions' platforms. "In previous debates, we only got to talk about our own platforms," Wood said. "I'd like to hear what United Students and Connect think about our platform." All three candidates said they had similar game plans going into the debate. Each wanted to discuss their platforms and prove their sincerity to them. "I feel confident that we can answer questions completely without extensively preparing because there are things we want to bring we really care about," Kelly said. Wood said that his preparation included looking at statistics regarding various issues, but that his answers were candid. "I just go up there and say what I think," Wood said. "I think that's why we come off like we do." Edited by Jared Duncan DRUGS Lectures shed light on major dealers ASSOCIATED PRESS ARLINGTON, Va. — Desperate to wiretap their target, federal drug agents early one morning scaled the roof of an auto garage that by day served as a well-protected Harlem headquarters for Mr. Untouchable, Leroy "Nicky" Barnes, a major New York heroin dealer who had eluded prison for a decade. They dropped by rope through a skylight and placed the bug. It didn't work. Several nights later, rope in hand, they were back on the roof. They installed another bug. This time, "all we got was a loud buzz," said Mary Buckley, recalling an investigation three decades ago in which the Drug Enforcement Administration sent her undercover at age 26 to help catch Barnes. Barnes and one of his major competitors, Frank Lucas. Their lectures Tuesday at the DEA Museum kicked off a series celebrating the agency's 35th birthday by recalling its biggest triumphs. Buckley and another retired DEA agent, Lew Rice, who once headed DEA's New York office, described their role in convicting Rice and Buckley provided a stiff dose of reality about the 1970s clash between drug dealers and cops in New York City, which has provided rich lore for the movies. Hollywood has transformed this collision into a mythic era through films like "Sericpo," "Prince of the City," "The French Connection" and its sequel, "American Gangster." "It's hard to defend against that Hollywood machine," said Rice, who spent 18 months prepping Lucas to testify for the government in return for a reduced sentence. Rice said Lucas was nothing like the man portrayed by actor Denzel Washington in "American Gangster." Born in a 1973 merger of drug agencies, the DEA was devoted to undercover work but inexperienced and ill-adapted to it, Buckley said. Far from glamour and high-tech wizardry, her world in the mid-1970s meant sleepless nights on spike heels in smoke-filled joints with dangerous men, wearing a bulky concealed transmitter that burned her skin, using index card files rather than computer databases and searching for functioning pay phones in a world without cell phones. ASSOCIATED PRESS PETER R. GIBBS Although sentenced to life in prison in 1977, Barnes testified against other dealers to win release in 1998 and a new identity from the witness protection program. Buckley said he had a second motive for helping prosecutors: His henchmen had promised to take care of his family but he became "furious when his associates started dating his old lady." Retired DEA agents sued the filmmakers for damages because they ended the movie with an on-screen note saying Lucas' cooperation "led to the conviction of three-quarters of New York City's Drug Enforcement Agency" As part of the Drug Enforcement Administration's 35th anniversary agents are talking about what it took to convict Frank Lucas, above, and competitor Leroy "Nicky" Barnes in the Harlem heroin trade, as the agency highlights some of its biggest triumphs. There is no such agency and Lucas played no role in convictions of NYPD Special Investigations Unit detectives, they argued. A judge threw the case out because the movie never says a federal drug agent was corrupt. When a movie says it is "based on reality" and uses that kind of closing notice, Rice said, "I think you've got a responsibility to get it right."

Reserve defends Bear Stearns rescue ASSOCIATED PRESS Bernanke and Treasury Department Undersecretary Robert Steel said that the conse- WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Bush administration on Thursday defended the decision to rescue Bear Stearns amid questions by lawmakers about why the government was helping Wall Street investment houses but not people on Main Street. sequences to the U.S. economy and financial system would have been far more serious had the government allowed the nation's fifth largest investment house to go bankrupt. brink of a recession. "Given the Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee questioned why the Reserve was willing to put such a large amount of money at risk to protect Wall Street while as many as 3 million homeowners are facing the risk of defaulting on their mortgages with the administration balking at greater efforts to help them. "Was this a justified rescue to prevent a systemic collapse of financial markets or a $30 bill "... the damage caused by a default by Bear Stearns could have been severe and extremely difficult to contain." exceptional pressures on the global economy and financial system, the damage caused by a default by Bear Stearns could have been severe and extremely difficult to contain. Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee. BEN BERNANKE Federal Reserve chairman The panel conducted a five-hour hearing as lawmakers sought to understand the decisions made during the hectic weekend of March 14-15 after Bear Stearns informed the Reserve that it was on the verge of having to file for bankruptcy protection because nervous creditors were demanding to be repaid. The investment house was purchased by JP Morgan Chase & Co. with assistance from the Reserve in the form of a loan backed by $30 billion of Bear Stearns assets. JP Morgan has agreed to absorb the first $1 billion of losses if the value of the assets declines, but taxpayers are at risk for the remaining $29 billion. Bear Stearns, with a stock price around $150 per share a year ago, was sold for $10 a share, becoming the biggest victim of a severe credit crisis that hit financial markets in August. That crisis, which was triggered by a prolonged housing slump and cascading mortgage defaults, has made it harder for consumers and businesses to get loans and helped to push the country to the lion taxpayer bail-out for a Wall Street firm while people on Main Street struggle to pay their mortgages?" Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Doddasked Bernanke and the other witnesses. Bernanke said that government's effort was not a bailout for Bear Stearns shareholders, who will suffer big losses, but an effort to protect the financial system and ultimately the entire economy, which could have faced severe consequences from Bear Stearns' bankruptcy. "The adverse impact of a default would not have been confined to the financial system but would have been felt broadly in the real economy through its effect on asset values and credit availability," said Bernanke. On Wednesday, Bernanke had for the first time raised the possibility that the current economic troubles could push the country into a recession. Steel said that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was actively monitoring four days of marathon negotiations that began after Bear Stearns notified the Fed on March 13 that it was one day away from having to file for bankruptcy protection. Steel said the administration supported the Fed's decisions. Most of the questions on the deal centered on the value of the assets the Fed is now holding as collateral for the loan. 1950 ...

The group consists of, from left to right, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight and Danny Wood. ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — They may be pushing 40, but the New Kids are returning to the block. The boy band New Kids on the Block, which sold 70 million albums in the 1980s and early '90s, has reunited and plans to release a new album and go on tour. The reunion comes 20 years after the release of the group's multiplatinum album, "Hanging Tough." "The fan response to this has been incredible," band member Donnie Wahlberg told the Boston Herald. material with McIntyre and Jordan Knight. Wahlberg said he was persuaded to get back together with his former bandmates — Joey McIntyre, brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood — when they decided to record new music. Wahlberg said he wrote 80 percent of the new "I had no interest going out on a nostalgia tour and singing the same material," said Wahlberg, 38. But he added: "We absolutely will do the old songs for sure." Producer Maurice Starr formed the group in Boston in the 1980s. At the height of their popularity, New Kids sold out world tours, marketed millions of dollars in merchandise and spawned a Saturday morning cartoon.

David Wyonsong, a Republican on the committee, said the House probably would not act on it. The proposal would ban smoking in indoor public places, including bars and restaurants. ASSOCIATED PRESS Should Kansans support a statewide smoking ban? A March 31 editorial in the Lawrence Journal-World details a proposal about a possible statewide smoking ban: Although its sponsor will be surprised if a statewide smoking ban clears the Legislature this year, the time spent working on the bill may not be wasted. The full Senate may vote on the measure approved by the Senate Ways and Means Committee this week, Sen. David Wysong said, but he doesn't expect the House to act on it this session. However, he said, the conversation that started in the Legislature this year is likely to make a smoking ban "one of the three or four top issues during the election cycle" leading up to the November balloting. A number of communities, including Lawrence, have had successful experience and a relatively positive public response to smoke-free clubs and restaurants. That kind of public support will make it much easier for future Legislatures to pursue a statewide ban. The bill passed in the Senate committee would prohibit smoking in indoor public places such as restaurants, bars and businesses. Unlike an earlier measure, however, it eliminated the "county option" provision that would have required all Kansas counties to vote on the ban before it could be enacted. Dropping the county option is a positive step. A statewide ban would be more consistent and easier to enforce. During testimony concerning the bill, Sen. Marci Francisco told the committee that Lawrence's smoking ban had been a success and that sales tax collections from food services and drinking establishments had actually increased since the ordinance took effect. The desire to avoid tobacco smoke for health reasons may not be the deciding issue for many voters, but if candidates hear a groundswell of support during upcoming legislative campaigns, they will be much more likely to pursue efforts to institute a statewide ban. What are your thoughts? Should Kansas implement this ban? Send responses to kansanopdesk@gmail.com. Responses will be printed Friday. BLOGS @ KANSAN.COM Denzel Washington among best pop culture catastrophe It's been a little bit since my last entry. I've had many conversations with my roommate about who is currently the best actor. I've always considered Denzel Washington my favorite actor since I can remember and I got to be honest; I believe he is the best actor in Tinsel Town right now. Film by film, just great. "Man On Fire,""American Gangster," "John Q,""Training Day,""Inside Man," and "Deja Vu" are some of his more recent films, which are all fantastic. Now some of the other names we brought up were Mark Wahiberg and Nicolas Cage. However, I feel while both have made great films, they've made some questionable films as well. I thought "Ghost Rider" was the worst Cage film had ever seen. With that said, I am surprised Denzel hasn't won more Oscars. Yes, his role in "American Gangster" was similar to "Training Day," but he was damn good as Frank Lucas. Now I am not really sure what Washington film I would say was his best, anyone got any thoughts? Also, care to share who you guys consider your favorite actor?

COMMENTARY Small-time musicians need your'Band Aid' JORDAN RYAN THE LOCAL MUSIC SCENE Last Tuesday night was a typical one in Lawrence. I got off work at 10:30 and drove through the blinking yellow lights. There was no traffic, so I parked right across from The Bottleneck. Max Rinkel Lawrence is known as an artsy city, specifically regarding music. The city boasts big music acts for such an medium-size town. When people ask, "Why Kansas?" the local music scene is a perk that defends Kansas' dull and traditional stereotype. But even knee-deep in the bluesy howls of Sean Hoots and the crazed mandolin riffs of Rob Berliner, it is obvious that Lawrence's music scene is lacking the attention it deserves. As I walked in, I didn't think it unusual that only 20 or 30 people were wanging around the bar or pool tables. But as I twirled and stomped to the soulful twang of Hoots and Hellmouth, I realized I was dancing solo. Everyone likes listening to music, but we are getting lazy about it. I stopped to wonder, "Where the hell were all the music lovers?" I wanted more bodies in the room that night. I immediately wanted to tell everyone with self-imposed weeknight boredom that good music and a good time are easy to stumble upon. I've defended the use of iPods and cell phones, but music lovers should investigate the under-the-radar events at Replay Lounge on a Monday night or The Bottleneck on a Tuesday. With our MTVs and TRLs and Rolling Stone magazines, it is easy to swallow the glorifying articles about our favorite popular bands and regurgitated lost love, singer/ songwriter melodies crafted to fit radio waves. The Internet makes it easy to get the singles we want, and下载ing, legally or illegally,makes music available 24/7. Attending concerts and supporting musicians can expose you to sounds you may have never thought you'd enjoy, and it promotes creativity and community among those who place music high in their lives. These are the perks of our generation,but they also keep us from going into the live arenas where music is being performed. Musicians cannot survive solely on the publicity of their MySpace pages. Stop resorting to the recycling of sounds pumped through your stereo. Listeners have to get their asses out and support them if they like what they hear and if they want Lawrence to attract budding musicians. Not to mention you could have a great time, see some new faces and who knows, maybe even hear your future favorite band. Lawrence has a lot of hidden gems, scenes and hangouts to discover, but seeing a concert by a local or small-time band merely requires skimming some of the myriad of posters on Massachusetts Street. If you are a music lover, take advantage of the music in and coming through Lawrence. Expand your horizons. Check out pipelineproductions.com to see what bands, both popular and not-as-mainstream, are coming to The Granada, The Bottleneck, Liberty Hall and Crossroads KC. The classics are a staple in any music collection, but it is easy to underestimate how shaking up the routine can inspire personal creativity. Oh!Mr. is a wonderful new online music magazine that reviews and interviews local bands. You can read about who you may or may not pay a cover to hear, and the magazine will send you updates about where to see local favorites. Ryan is a Salina junior in art history. editorials around the nation Clinton stays afloat in presidential race The days of picking a party's presidential candidate in a smoke-filled backroom are over. Now the party bosses go straight to the television cameras to try to publicly muscle candidates out of the race. Another unabashed attempt to shove Sen. Hillary Clinton out of the race for the White House emerged this past weekend as a few more prominent Democrats called for her exit. Clinton, who has proven herself to be remarkably resilient in this campaign, dutifully brushed off the shameful strong-arm tactics, saying people have a right to vote. We think Clinton should stay in the race for now and allow the remaining states to have a voice in this important contest. She also owes it to voters in Florida and Michigan, two large states where Democratic voters have been completely disenfranchised. PRESIDENT HILARY CLINTON Indeed they do. Democrats who want Hillary out of the race will contend she's hurting the party. But by trying to force her out, they, too, run the risk of furthering any divide in their ranks. and battered.

Hard-fought primaries can be tough on the eventual winner, who may emerge bruised ASSOCIATED PRESS China's problems won't detract from Olympics The Denver Post March 31 editorial Despite its best efforts, Beijing may be losing the battle to script the Summer Games. The real revelation in recent footage of protests over the Beijing Olympics was not the image of a Reporters Without Borders demonstrator being dragged away by Greek security guards dressed like stewards on the Hindenburg. It was that during his protest, at the Athens torch-lighting ceremony, the sole camera feed cut first to a long shot making it difficult to see what was happening, then cut away entirely — to stock footage. After a decent interval, coverage returned to the main event: a boom-camera shot of a ceremony featuring women in faux-classical gowns. It says something about the so-called spirit of the Olympics that the first inclination of the people covering the event was to try to suppress unwanted information. It's true that legitimate concerns about human rights, democracy and the behavior of authoritarian thugs can lead to knee-jerk politicization of the event — such as recent calls for Bush to shun the Games. But this is shaping up to be the most exciting political Olympics since the end of the Cold War. The speed with which Beijing has lost control of the Olympic script is not cause for cynicism but for celebration. Strife, ferment and the painful progress toward liberal modernity by a freedom-challenged great power may not be what the International Olympic Committee prefers to show us, but it's a lot more interesting than another round of sports utopianism and pretty production values.

Now, it's five years later and the Jayhawks are up against Hansbrough — who is widely regarded as the National Player of the Year. PAGE 7B KANSAS 24 LAWSON 10 RESILIENT SENIORS The Jayhawk senior class didn't have the easiest careers as basketball players. Between first round exits and personal hardships, the Jayhawk seniors have fought through their share of adversity. But it will all seem worth it this weekend when Kansas plays for a national championship.

PAGE 10B KANSAS ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ 4 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 4.2008 COMMENTARY Focus is on Final Four,not Williams BY CASE KEEFER KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR ckeefer@kansan.com LSS KANSAN FILE PHOTO Former Kansas coach Roy Williams, right, and forward Drew Gooden, left, look on after UCLA built a lead during a Jan. 12, 2002, basketball game in Los Angeles. If Kansas can defeat North Carolina tomorrow, it will advance to the National Championship Game. And amazingly, it seems as if that's a secondary goal to Jayhawk fans. National Championship? Nah. No time to worry about that. Collectively, Jayhawk Nation is too preoccupied dreaming about getting back at big, bad Roy to enjoy what is a truly unique experience — the Final Four. the Final Four. Kansas has advanced this far only 13 times since the inception of the NCAA Tournament in 1939. That's once every six years. So why waste this once, maybe twice-a-decade excitement by fuming about something that was bound to happen? Especially when the person it's directed toward, North Carolina coach Roy Williams, has a lot to do with where the Kansas program is now, and especially when Williams is approaching the topic in the classiest way possible. "I have the greatest love for a place that I gave my heart, my body and my soul for 15 years," Williams said at a press conference last weekend. In 2004, the year after Williams left, it would be understandable if this game contained this amount of ir. But it's 2008 and five years later. It's time to get over it — it's even time to celebrate what Williams accomplished here. By showing such hostility toward the Tar Heels, jayhawk fans are resembling exactly what they despise. Think about Kansas State basketball this season. What was so frustrating about the Wildcats was that freshman phenomens Michael Beasley and Bill Walker weren't promising a run in the NCAA Tournament or a Big 12 Conference title. They were talking about beating Kansas. That's all anyone in Manhattan cared about - Kansas, Kansas, Kansas. The Cats possessed a serious inferiority complex. But at the end of it all, when Beasley was checking out of K-State's second round rout by Wisconsin, the Jayhawk fans took the high road. Those clad in blue at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb., rose to their feet and gave the nation's best player a standing ovation. And that was for Michael Beasley, who doesn't deserve nearly the same recognition from Kansas fans as Roy Williams does. Nine conference championships. Four Final Fours. 418 career victories. Yeah, Roy's accomplishments at Kansas should speak for themselves. Don't let that inferiority complex creep southeast down 1-70, and don't think Roy Williams doesn't look back fondly on those 15 years of dominance. Just ask the only guy who gets more television time than Barack Obama, Flo Rida and Eliot Spitzer combined: North Carolina junior forward Tyler Hansbrough. "He's got a lot of memories there," Hansbrough said. "And a lot of good people that he knows from there. And he's got a lot of relationships." True, but he should have even more good relationships in Lawrence. He should be recognized as another iconic figure in the linked history of Kansas and North Carolina basketball. Dean Smith graduated from Kansas and went on to become arguably the greatest coach of all time at North Carolina. Larry Brown played at North Carolina before winning a national championship as a coach at Kansas. Both schools are proud to be connected to Smith and Brown. Like it or not, Williams is the next legendary name in this cycle. Agree or disagree, Williams had to take the chance and return to his alma mater to coach. It just natural to go back to where you came from. Tom Glavine went back to Atlanta to wear a Braves' uniform, Bruce Dickinson re-joined Iron Maiden and E.T. returned to well, wherever it was from. But you get the point: The animosity towards Roy Williams should stop. Potentially, something a lot more important will be taking place. Edited by Samuel Lamb GUEST COMMENTARY Players will decide game,not coaches BY DANIEL PRICE Assistant Sports Editor The Daily Hooli The Daily Tar Heel CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — I remember it like it was five years ago. Oh yeah. It was. The United States had just taken control of Baghdad, ending the rule of Saddam Hussein. Jack Nicholson was psyching up Adam Sandler on the silver screen. Roy Williams had just taken Kansas to the NCAA Championship, where the Jayhawks would lose to freshman phenom Carmelo Anthony and Syracuse. Yes. It was that long ago. Since that tear-filled day in April 2003 — I will reiterate, 2003 — the KU roster has flipped along with its student body. In fact, of the current Kansas players, only Jeremy Case was even Carmelo Anthony is now well on his way to his second NBA All-Star Game. Saddam Hussein is more than a year removed from this planet. And Bill Self has taken Kansas to his first career Final Four, which tips off Saturday night in San Antonio. And yes. He and the Jayhawks are set to face Roy Williams' Tar Heels squad. But honestly, why does that matter? recruited by Williams, and he is averaging just five minutes per game. This is Bill Self's team. But even more so, these are the Kansas Jayhawks and they are playing the North Carolina Tar Heels. And no matter how many years Williams spent in Lawrence, those years are now irrelevant. At the opening tip tomorrow night, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson, Darnell Jackson and Darrell Arthur will be taking the court against Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, Marcus Ginyard, Deon Thompson and Tyler Hansbrough. And they, along with the guys who check in at the scorer's table, will determine the outcome of the game. The coaches will be, rightfully so, in the background. This game is about the players. And neither Self nor Williams would have you believe anything else. Both have said as much many times this week. So the next time you want to hop back to 2003, just rent Anger Management. The only thing Williams might have wrong with that is the fact that he hasn't aged nearly as gracefully as Marissa Tomei. — Edited by Patrick De Oliveira quote of the day "I hope that some good ol' Carolina barbecue and beer might help the mayor get through the game because it won't be easy against our Tar Heels." fact of the day Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy trivia of the day Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy sent locally brewed beer and North Carolina barbecue to Lawrence mayor Michael Dever today.

What do you think? BY JASON BAKER, ALEX GARRY AND AMRUTA BHADKAMKA LINSIE ERIKSEN Denver senior WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS TOWARD UNC COACH ROY WILLIAMS? ANDY SPALDING St. Louis junior "I don't have a problem with Roy because I love Bill Self. But Tyler Hansbrough looks like a tadpole." PETER TAYLOR "When he left, I was resilient because I thought it was for the money. But I still respect him and he's a good coach. I can understand why he wanted to go home to North Carolina." I am not sure if you mean "What is your name?" or "What is your name?". It's a bit ambiguous. I'll just use the most common name. My name is Emily Dixon. KRISTINA LUPERCIO Overland Park sophomore "He did a lot for Kansas, and people need to appreciate him instead of talking bad about him. It's Bill Self's team now." JOE FINKELSTEIN SERINA HEIKES Oberlin senior Hopkins, Minn., sophomore "He looked better at KU with brown hair than at UNC with the white-washed hair." 10-25-2014 "I don't hate him like most people do. I'm over him leaving and ready to meet him again - and beat him." P. ERICA GRONAU Newton sophomore "We had a tradition going that he was a part of and then he screwed us over." JONATHAN MEYER DALLAS SCHMITENDORF Lawrence sophomore "Ive got no hard feelings. Everyone's pretty bitter about it, but he gave us a lot of great years. You can't blame him for leaving for his alma mater." JESSE WILLIAMS Wichita senior PETER JOHN MICHAEL HARRISON "I hate him. I hope he never wins a national championship (at North Carolina). I hope he never shows his face in Kansas again." PETER JOHNSON AARON SIEMERS Derby senior "I really appreciate what he did for KU, but I am a little bitter about the way he left, so I would like to see the Jayhawks beat them." ✓ 4 4 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2008 》 SPORTS 3B MEN'S BASKETBALL Legacy four years in the making for Kansas seniors KANSAS 3 Robinson Jackson KANSAS 10 KANSAS 24 Case Stewart KANSAS 5 BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Laughter could wait. Jeremy Case had to keep playing his role. He sat in the corner of the locker room at Ford Field, surrounded by Matt Kleinmann, Chase Buford, Brad Witherspoon, Brennan Bechard, Conner Teahan and Tyrel Reed. They staged a fake interview, and Case was the subject. "Mr. Case," Buford asked, "in your own personal opinion, how old is Stephen Curry?" "That's a good question," Case replied, holding back while his teammates cracked up. "Now this is off the record, but I'd say 14." He finally gave in and started laughing. These are happy times for Case and his other four senior teammates, guard Russell Robinson, forward Darnell Jackson, center Sasha Kaun and guard Rodrick Stewart. After going through four years of gut-wrenching tournament losses, they're at the Final Four in San Antonio. By Sunday or Tuesday at the latest, their Kansas careers will have come to an end. For now, they're savoring their last days and counting on their senior experience to help Kansas reach the ultimate goal of winning a national title. "Not too many people get to experience this, even going to the Final Four," Stewart said. "I'm still in awe of that. But to win the whole thing? Pshh. You're talking about making history, man. That's big right there." Jackson never paid close attention to the Final Four until his sophomore year of high school. That year, 2002, he watched Drew Gooden and the Jayhawks against Maryland from his home in Oklahoma City. After watching Gooden, he asked his mom, Shawn, if she ever thought he could make it that far. She just laughed. During the past three years, Shawn's reaction seemed justified. Jackson and his senior teammates seemed destined to never make it to the final weekend. As freshmen, they sat on the bench together and watched a vaunted Kansas senior class get shocked by Bucknell in the first round. They didn't learn and fell to Bradley the next season. "Losing in the first round hurts," Jackson said. "It hurts a lot." Last season, Jackson sensed that this time it would be different. He told Case before they left for the second weekend of the tournament in San Jose that "They know at Kansas we're measured at a high level and they want to go out as being recognized as one of the winningest classes," coach Bill Self said earlier this season. "It's hard to do that if you win Big 12 tiles and don't go to the Final Four." but they needed something more to secure their place in history. They needed a Final Four. "But to win the whole thing? Pssh. You're talking about making history, man. That's big right there." The magical run for the seniors started in the Villanova game last RODRICK STEWART Senior guard they were going to make the Final Four. Instead, Kansas lost another heartbreaker, this time to UCLA in the Elite Eight. The losses weren't the worst part either. Jackson went through several well-documented tragedies and a suspension for receiving improper benefits. Stewart struggled to adjust after transferring from Southern California and lost his brother to murder two months ago. Robinson had a bad case of homesickness his freshman year. Case dealt with a redshirt season and playing for a coach that didn't recruit him, and Kaun battled inconsistency problems. "Just going through stuff like that makes you tougher and brings you closer," Stewart said. After all the turmoil, the seniors had one final March run to put it all together. They'd already won four Big 12 titles and three conference tournament championships, ter Cole Aldrich heard another senor, Robinson, make a promise. Friday. Kansas had won two games already, but the seniors started making a difference that night. Before they ran on the court, Stewart told Jackson this couldn't be their last game. Freshman cen- "I'm not going to let him score on me," Robinson declared, speaking about Villanova star Scottie Reynolds. Reynolds didn't score until Kansas already held a big lead. Robinson poured in 13 points in the first half. Another senior, Kaun, stepped up against Davidson two days later. Kaun admitted that he didn't quite understand the importance of the NCAA Tournament in previous seasons. The guy had only been playing ball in America for about six years. He fully understood it this time because of the sting of last year's Elite Eight loss, so much that he riled the team up in the locker room then backed up his talk with a game-saving 13-point, six-rebound performance. He couldn't have done that last season. Robinson probably wouldn't have played with the same desire either. They did it because they were seniors. "I don't think you could ever tell a junior that a senior cares more than you until next year when he's a senior," Self said. "And then he'll say I cared more than I did because there's no safety net. There is no next year for these guys, so for all these seniors who have given their heart and soul to the program, there is certainly a different feel than if they have a safety net." Now they're in San Antonio. They're in the Final Four, the goal that seemed so far away after those first round losses and the Elite Eight disappointment. Next week, they might be champions or they might not. The only guarantee is that they'll be finished with their KU careers. All five seniors are on pace to graduate in May and go their separate ways from there. Case, Kaun, Robinson and Stewart all want to pursue professional careers. Jackson could be a pro if he wants, but he maintains that he's always thought about helping out in Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations after school. They try to think about the end as little as possible and say they're going to miss the team camaraderie and the fans the most when it's finally over. But that's the thing. They're not through yet. They have one more weekend to add to their legacy and mostly to enjoy being a Jayhawk one final time in the place they've dreamt of being for four years. "From what I hear," Robinson said, "no matter how successful you are at the next level, this is going to be the time that is most memorable for you." Edited by Russell Davies BE A TRADITION.

Final Fours: 17 NCAA Championships: four (1957, 1982, 1993, 2005) Famous Alumni: Michael Jordan, former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, President James K. Polk CAROLINA TAM HEELS 68-47 How they got here: Elite Eight; defeated Louisville 83-73 here: First round: defeated Mount St. Mary's 113-74 Second round: defeated Arkansas 108-77 Sweet Sixteen: defeated Washington State Breakdown: How good has North Carolina been this tournament? So good, that Russell Robinson felt the need to turn away from the screen while watching the Tar Heels dismantle Louisville in the Elite Eight. Robinson didn't need to see that. In his fifth season at North Carolina, Roy Williams' team is 36-2, yet still doesn't have the best record at the Final Four – that belongs to 37-1 Memphis. The Tar Heels, who have won 15 games in a row, braved injuries this season. Reserve guard, junior Bobby Frasor, was lost for the season to an ACL tear in December, and starting point guard, sophomore Ty Lawson missed seven games in the middle of the season after suffering a left ankle sprain. Pity the Tar Heels? Hardly. The Tar Heels are deep, talented, and poised to deliver Williams his second title in four years. Two reasons they will unlock the trophy case: 1. Tyler Hansbrough – They don't call North Carolina's junior power forward "Psycho-T" because he likes Snapple. Hansbrough, the likely National Player of the Year, is relentless, and no doubt, the craziest player in San Antonio. 2. Coaching - Kansas' Bill Self, UCLA's Ben Howland and Memphis' John Calipari are all coaches capable of leading a team to a title. But Williams is the only coach who's cut down the nets at the Final Four. Two reasons they will not: 1. Defense – If it's true that defense win championships, then you might not want to go with the Tar Heels. They give up 72.2 points per game, partly because they play real fast, but Roy Williams' coached teams have always been vulnerable to teams that play at a slow pace. 2. Karma - You'd have to think the "college basketball gods"have a sense of humor. What could be funnier than Williams going down to Kansas on Saturday night? Memphis (37-1) Memphis, Tenn. Final Fours: 2 NCAA Championships: None Famous Alumni: former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson, NFL player Isaac Bruce, How they got here: M How they got here: First round: defeated Texas-Arlington 87-63 Second round: defeated Mississippi State 77-74 Sweet Sixteen: defeated Michigan State 92-74 Elite Eight: defeated Texas 85-67 Breakdown: Come on, admit it, you weren't expecting Memphis to steamroll Texas 85-67 in the South Regional final. The Tigers — a group that seemed to be everyone's choice to be the No.1 seed that would lose first - are laughing all the way to San Antonio. Has there ever been a team more disrespected than Memphis? At 37-1, the Tigers have already tied the all-time NCAA Division I record for victories. Still, some prognosticators figured Memphis was simply a mirage generated by a weak Conference-USA schedule. Well, the Tigers went out and decimated Michigan State and Texas in Regional Semi-Finals and Finals in Houston and weak conference or not, the Tigers look like a team that could win it all. Led by junior shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts and freshman point guard Derrick Rose, coach John Callipari's squad is outrageously athletic and playing like a team that knows it's being doubted. Two reasons they will unlock the trophy case: 1. Point guard play - Memphis freshman Derrick Rose, a would-be member of the "I look 10 years older than I am" club, has always been a athletic specimen. Now, Rose is playing like a pure point guard. His assist to turnover ratio is 4.7-to-1 during the NCAA tournament and he's still scoring 24 points per game in the last two rounds. 2. They're overlooked - If any of these teams has the proverbial "chip on its shoulder," it's Memphis, Kansas, UCLA and North Carolina are basketball institutions, while Memphis is relatively new to the Final Four scene. Never underestimate a team that feels overlooked. Two reasons they will not: 1. The big guys- While the other three teams all have post-players averaging double-figures, Memphis does not. If Rose and Douglas-Roberts perform poorly, Memphis might be in trouble. 2. The supporting cast - Want to know how to beat Memphis? Ask Tennessee. The Volunteers beat Memphis at Memphis on Feb. 23. How'd they do it? They let Douglas-Roberts and Rose score, and stopped everybody else. Douglas-Roberts and Rose had 14 and 23 points respectively, while the rest of the team finished with 25 points. If Memphis wants the title, they need to be more balanced. UCLA (36-3) Los Angeles, Calif. Final Fours: 18 NCAA Championships: 11 Famous Alumni: actor Tim Robbins, singer Jim Morrison UCLA (36-3) Ucla BRUINS How they got here: First round: defeated Miss. Valley State 70-29 Second round: defeated Texas A&M 51-49 Sweet Sixteen: defeated Western Kentucky 88-78 Elite Eight: defeated Xavier 76-57 Breakdown: What's UCLA coach Ben Howland's favorite part about his team's third straight Final Four appearance? Florida is nowhere to be seen. The Gators eliminated UCLA in the last two Final Fours, beating them in the Championship game in 2006 and in the National Semifinal last season. Howland's second favorite part about this year's Final Four? He now has Kevin Love. UCLA's freshman center is a first-team All-American and he's owned this year's tournament - averaging 24 points and 12 rebounds per game in victories against Western Kentucky and Xavier. Howlands' Bruins were ousted the last two years because Florida's big guys - Joakim Noah and Al Horford - controlled the inside. Now Howland has his own wide body inside, and Love and Howland just may deliver title No. 12 to Tinseltown. Two reasons they will unlock the trophy case: 1. Experience - Some pundits would have you believe that all the Bruins need is Love - as in Kevin Love. But UCLA's most important player might be junior point guard Darren Collison. He's averaging 14.8 points per game and shooting 53.0 percent from the three-point line. Need a refresher? Cue up Kansas' Elite Eight game against UCLA last season and press "play." 2. Defense - One reason North Carolina might not win this weekend, is the same reason UCLA might. Ben Howland stresses defense and the Bruins generally listen. UCLA has surrendered 80 points only once this season, against California, and its opponents are scoring 58.5 points per game. Two reasons they will not: 1. Luck runs out – To say the Bruins have been beneficiaries of some controversial calls, is a little like saying fried food is bad for you — both statements are painfully obvious. Don't follow? Well, then you must not have seen the last play of the UCLA - Texas A&M game in the second round. The point? UCLA has been catching breaks from officials and eventually things may even out. 2. Conference history – The Pac-10 hasn't had a basketball National Champion since Arizona in 1997. Every other major conference, besides the Big 12, which hasn't won a title since 1988, has won a title since the Pac-10's last championship. key players NORTH CAROLINA Tyler Hansbrough 6-foot-9 forward Hansbrough could be the most polarizing player in the nation. Analysts love his full throttle approach to the game, while opposing fans love to hate the fact that he consistently hustles his way to rebounds. Hansbrough doesn't look as fluid as Kansas State post Michael Beasley with the ball in his hands, but he is a capable shooter from 18 feet and in. The 6-foot-9 junior's best quality is his uncanny Hansbrough MEMPHIS Chris Douglas-Roberts 6-foot-7 guard ability to draw fouls. Hansbrough is averaging nearly 10 free-throw attempts per game, and he shoots 81 percent from the line. 2008 stats: 32.9 minutes per game, 22.8 points per game, 10.3 rebounds per game, .542 field goal percentage offense from either the perimeter (42 percent three-point shooting) or by heading to the hoop (206 free throw attempts). "CDR", as he is called by the Memphis faithful, is the Tigers' top scoring option and has the Chris Douglas-Roberts is to Memphis what Mario Chalmers is to Kansas. The 6-foot-7 wing is capable of taking over on [Name] 2008 stats: 28.2 minutes per game, 17.7 points per game, 4.2 rebounds per game, .545 field goal percentage - Shipp is a physical lockdown defender, while Douglas-Roberts is a silky smooth scoring machine. long enough arms to cause trouble for opponents on the defensive end. The matchup between Douglas-Roberts and UCLA guard Shipp could be intense Douglas-Roberts Kevin Love 6-foot-10 forward UCLA Think Tyler Hansbrough with style. Love does everything Hansbrough does: He scores efficiently in the post, he gets to the free-throw line and pulls down huge quantities of rebounds. Oh yeah, he can also shoot from deep and pass like a point guard. Love is shooting 37 percent from three-point range this season. Love's outlet passes are a staple of UCLA's offense, as he can turn a defensive rebound into a fast break in a flick of his wrists and a 50-foot pass to a streaking Bruin guard. Love is actually a better rebounder and defender than Hansbrough, but has gone comparatively unnoticed because he played most of his games on the west coast. Love 2008 stats: 29.5 minutes per game, 17.6 points per game, 10.7 rebounds per game, .565 field goal percentage Kansas (35-3) KANSAS Mario Chalmers 6-foot-1 guard A look at Kansas' offensive statistics suggests the Jayhawks don't have one standout performer. Though the Jayhawks do spread out their scoring, Chalmers is the team's most efficient player. The Anchorage, Alaska, native is in the top five in the Big 12 Conference in assists per game, three-point field goal accuracy and points per shot attempt this Kansas (93-91) Lawrence, Kan. Final Fours: 13 NCAA Championships: two Famous Alumni: former Sen. Bob Dole, actor Paul Rudd, NFL running back Gale Sayers season. Chalmers can play either point guard or shooting guard, and his length could cause match-up problems for North Carolina guards Ty Lawson and Quentin Thomas. On top of that, Chalmers is a fantastic defender. He provides the perfect complement to senior guard Russell Robinson's on-ball pressure, waiting to snag opponents' lazy passes. 2008 stats: 29.7 minutes per game, 12.7 points per game, 4.4 assists per game, 476 three-point field goal percentage Chalmers KU — Asher Fusco How they got here: First round: defeated Portland State 85-61 Secc num. defeated UNLV 75-56 Sweet Sixteen: defeated Villanova 72-57 Elite Eight: defeated Davidson 59-57 Breakdown: The question was posed to Kansas senior forward Darnell Jackson. Will Kansas be satisfied by just making it to the Final Four? Jackson paused. He didn't quite follow. The question was re-phrased. Jackson's answer was clearer than the question: No. Kansas' goal all season has been the National Championship, Kansas' motivation shouldn't be a problem. The real problem might be that Kansas simply doesn't have the ammunition to battle its way through a gauntlet of a Final Four. Four number one seeds. For the first time ever. Who ever wins this thing should be applauded. You could make the case Kansas got off easy with its road to the Final Four. A No. 16 seed, a No. 8 seed, a No. 12 seed, and a No. 10. Not many world-beaters on that road. Still, if Kansas maneuvers its way to the Trophy ceremony on Monday night, nobody can question the Jayhawks easy early-round schedule. Maybe junior guard Brandon Rush will even be standing on the platform, channeling his inner Qib Talib, and shouting, "They gotta say we played somebody now. They gotta say we played somebody." Two reasons they will unlock the trophy case: 1. It's Destiny - All the stars seemed to have aligned. It's been 20 years since Kansas' last title, the star of that team, Danny Manning, is on now the Kansas sideline, and the fans get a revenge game against Roy Williams along the way. Hollywood couldn't write this stuff. 2. Balance - Florida had it while winning the last two national titles. The Jayhawks do too. Seven players who could lead the team in scoring any given game. Want to stop Kansas? Pick three or four guys to stop and the other three or four guys will probably step up. Two reasons they will not: 1. Balance — Confused? Well, Bill Self said it best on Tuesday, Kansas' greatest strength might be its biggest weakness as well. Who's Kansas' go-to-guy? Well, we don't know. The lack of a go-to scorer in crunch time might haunt the Jayhawks this weekend. 2. Do the Math - Kansas has won two national championships in the past 56 years - 1952 and 1988. Can Kansas win the title on Monday night? Sure. Is it likely? Unfortunately not. Rustin Dodd adidas NIKE Largest selection of tournament gear!

In the summer of 2003, Kansas sophomore forward shared the floor with Hansbrough — then a high school junior — at the Nike Hoop Jamboree. Arthur might have trouble recognizing that Hansbrough today. That Hanbrough was a little lighter, a little shorter and his skills a little less polished. But the faint memory Arthur has of Hansbrough includes the one skill that made Hansbrough the face of college basketball. Nearly five years later, Arthur will step back on to the floor with Hansbrough, and the player they call Psycho-T needs no introduction. No longer the baby-faced kid at Nike camp, Hansbrough has morphed into a rebound-grabbing, body-banging basketball Tazmanian devil. "He had the same motor," Arthur said. North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough dunks over Juan Palacios during the second half of the NCAA East Regional final basketball game in Charlotte, N.C., on Saturday. Hansbrough's play has led North Carolina to the Final Four. A first-team All-American and likely National Player of the Year, Hansbrough could give Kansas its toughest defensive test of the season. Hansbrough's raw strength and athleticism combined with an unflappable will make Hansbough an opposing coach's nightmare. "What don't you know about Hansbrought?" Kansas senior forward Darnell jackson said. "He's a great player." There might not be a definitive way to defend Hansbrough. Jackson, along with Arthur, senior Sasha Kaun, and as Self noted, freshman Cole Aldrich, will all be counted on to defend Hansbrough, who comes into Saturday's National semi-final averaging 22.8 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. Don't believe it? Ask the coaches in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Although they might not want to talk about it. Not after the way Hansbrough gashed Miami for 35 points on Jan.23. "He just completely dominated." Miami coach Frank Haith told reporters after the game. He ran up 39 points on Clemson in an overtime victory on Feb. 10, and toyed with N.C.State to the tune of 32 points on Feb. 20. ASSOCIATED PRESS FIELDSTATE Still, his best performance of the season might have come against Louisville last weekend, as Hansbrough drove the Tar Heels to the Final Four with 28 points and 13 rebounds. "He plays harder than probably anybody in the country," Arthur said. The legend of Psycho-T is still growing in Chapel Hill, N.C., and leading the Tar Heels back to the Final Four for its 17th time in school history hasn't hurt. Some Hansbrough legends have even made their way back to Lawrence. "I hear stories about how when they're on off days," Jackson said "he's in the gym, five hours, working on his own." Poplar Bluff, a town of about 16,000, sits in the Ozark foothills about 30 miles from the Arkansas border. HE'S FROM MISSOURI "Who would have ever thought, starting out in Poplar Bluff," Hansbrough said, "I would end up playing at North Carolina, and then go play at a Final Four." They've been saying it since he was in high school. He's all grit and intensity and heart. He just outworks people. The insuination? Hansbrough isn't particularly skilled. It's a stereotype Hansbrough scoffs out. "I think some of my other skills are overlooked." Hansbrough said. By the time Hansbrough was a senior in high school, Kansas coach Bill Self already knew all about the Missouri high school star. As Hansbrought's profile was rising, Poplar Bluff played a nationally televised game against Greg Oden's high school team. Poplar Bluff lost, but the nation saw Hansbrough — and so did Arthur, who recalled the Hansbrough versus Oden matchup before practice on Tuesday. Of course, he was dominant in high school. Hansbrough, with the help of his little brother Ben, who now plays at Mississippi State, won two Missouri 5A state championships at Poplar Bluff High School. It's no secret, Kansas wanted Hansbrough - bad. "We recruited Tyler very hard," Self said. "He visited here. Back then you knew that he would be something special." North Carolina, Kansas and Kentucky were all hot in pursuit. Williams and North Carolina won out. Hansbrough won National Freshman of the year in 2006, but a young North Carolina team fell to upstart George Mason in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Last season Hansbrough was named an AP first team All-American, but again the Tar Heels fell short of the Final Four by giving up a lead to Georgetown in the Elite Eight. This season Hansbrough lifted North Carolina over the Final Four hump. "We just want to keep on moving." Hansbrough said. GUARDING HANSBROUGH If Kansas has any advantage in finding a way to stop Hansbrough it can thank ESPN. Bill Self said Kansas' players were able to watch North Carolina play at least 10 times this year, because North Carolina seems to play every game on national television. Unlike Davidson, North Carolina is a media darling. The The theory goes like this: The more times you see a team play, the more familiar you are with its tendencies and style of play. Self said Kansas saw Davidson play maybe once before it played the Wildcats in the Elite Eight. That alone put Kansas at a natural disadvantage. Self said. Tar Heels play on ESPN regularly, and Hansbrough seems to spend more time on television than Anderson Cooper. "Their whole team has been the talk of the town, the talk of the national news," Arthur said. "We're just going to have to come bring our A' game and play." As for specific match-ups, Self said Kaun would be the Jayhawks' best option to contain Hansbrough. Arthur said Kansas will throw everybody they have at Hansbrough. "If you just look at it on paper, Sasha's standing height and size would be as good a match-up as we would have with him." Self said. But Kaun won't play the entire game, which will leave Jackson and Arthur to guard Hansbrough at times. Nearly five years ago, Arthur was a high school sophomore, guarding Hansbrough at the Nike Hoop Jamboree. Now the stage is a little bit bigger. But for Arthur, the key to Hansbrough has stayed the same. It's all about the motor. "The whole team," Arthur said, "is going to have to match his intensity." — Edited by Jared Duncan MEN'S BASKETBALL KANSAS 30 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Former Jayhawk Julian Wright could have played with this year's Kansas team but decided to forgo his next two years of eligibility to play in the NBA for the New Orleans Hornets, who currently are in a fight for first place in the Western Conference. Wright still bleeds crimson and blue BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com The Jayhawks will have their legion of fans with them in San Antonio. They will also have at least one more rooting for them in New Orleans. Wright said this year's Kansas team had two characteristics last year's team didn't: momentum and 12 more months of know-how, both of which he said could benefit Kansas this weekend. Julian Wright, who left school last season for the NBA and is now a member of the New Orleans Hornets, has kept up on his former team throughout the year. He regularly checks his cell phone or computer for KU scores and still keeps in touch with his former teammates. "Another year of experience does wonders," Wright said. He added that this year's team wasn't satisfied just yet, and it could accomplish more than it already had. Wright is in a position to possibly win a championship himself. The Hornets are a lock for the NBA Playoffs and are battling for the first place seed in the Western Conference. Since Wright left college, he has taken his game to the perimeter and plays small forward in the pros, although he has played sparingly this season, averaging three points and two rebounds a game. "Playing at a place like Kansas, expectations are always Final Four," he said. "But I think this year we're really equipped. Everyone's bought into the system and playing unselfish ball." Wright said he had no regrets about leaving school early and wished his old team well. "I bleed crimson and blue," he said. MEN'S BASKETBALL — Edited by Jared Duncan BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com mdent@kansan.com All season long, the Jayhawks relied on balanced scoring and the belief that anyone could step up in a big game and deliver down the stretch. Russell Robinson has said many times that several players could take the shots in the most important parts of the game. But in reality, Kansas does have a go-to-guy. Crunch time no problem for Chalmers "If you study it," said Kansas coach Bill Self, "you'll find out who our go-to guys are." It's Mario Chalmers. In games settled by five points or fewer, he's done the most damage in the game's last four minutes. The Jayhawks have played six games decided by that margin: against Arizona, Southern California, Georgia Tech, Texas, Oklahoma State and Davidson. In the last four minutes of those games, Chalmers scored a total of 19 points. "He doesn't necessarily want the spotlight," Robinson said, "doesn't want all the attention, all the publicity. But at the same time, he wants the ball in his hands. He's going to do it at the stake of the team doing well." Chalmers' best late-game run came against USC. He scored seven points in the final four minutes, including a big three-pointer that put Kansas up for good. He also had six points and the game-tying free throws against Arizona and six in the last four minutes of a loss at Texas. No other player comes close to matching Chalmers' production down the stretch of close games. Collins scored six points in the last four minutes of the Georgia Tech victory but otherwise hasn't scored at the end of close games. Darrell Arthur also has six total points in the six tight games. Perhaps most surprisingly, Brandon Rush has only scored a total of four points down the stretch and shot the ball less than one-third as many times as Chalmers. It's clear, Kansas wants Chalmers to have the ball at the end, and he's fine with that. "I've always thought of myself as the guy who could do it with the game on the line," Chalmers said.

San Antonio hosted the Final Four only twice before April: In 1998 and 2004. San Antonio 1998 — Kansas fans shouldn't be blamed for not remembering the 1998 Final Four. After the No.1 seed Jayhawks suffered a second-round upset loss to No.8 seed Rhode Island, a bit of time away from watching basketball might have been a good idea. If Kansas fans turned off their televisions, they missed some exciting hoops at the Alamodome. In the national semifinals, Utah sneaked past heavy favorite North Carolina under the leadership of coach Rick Majerus. On the other side of the bracket, Kentucky defeated Stanford in overtime to earn a berth in the title game. The championship game was also a thriller, as Kentucky raced back from a 10-point halftime deficit to win, 78-69. Forward Scott Padgett led the Wildcats with 17 points and current Philadelphia 76ers guard Andre Miller paced the Utes with 16. NATIONAL CHAMPION: KENTUCKY 2004 — Kansas almost made it to San Antonio in coach Bill Self's first season, but Georgia Tech stopped the Jayhawks run in the Elite Eight. No. 3 seed Georgia Tech carried the momentum from its victory against Kansas into the Final Four and defeated Oklahoma State on a last-second layup by guard Will Bynum. The other national semi final was a clash of powerhouse programs, as Connecticut barely made it past Duke, 79-78. The championship game was a blowout, with Connecticut leading by as many as 25 points before winning, 82-73. Five of the 2004 Huskies are current contributors in the NBA, including NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player Emeka Okafor and guard Ben Gordon. NATIONAL CHAMPION; CONNECTICUT HISTORY Jayhawks not strangers to Final Four THE TROPHY COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Danny Manning, current assistant coach, led Kansas to its second NCAA Tournament title in 1988. This year marks the 13th time Kansas has earned a berth in the Final Four. BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com There are plenty of reasons Kansas' basketball tradition is considered one of the greatest in the nation. Lawrence has been graced with great players, great coaches and great games for longer than a century. But the most impressive figure in the Jayhawk record books could be 13. Kansas' 13 Final Four appearances are tied for the fourth most in college basketball. 1940 - The Jayhawks made their first foray into Final Four basketball in the second year of the NCAA Tournament's existence. Kansas, coached by Phog Allen, played its way past USC in the national semifinal before losing to Branch McCracken's Indiana Hoosiers in the title game. 1952 - Kansas made up for an 11-season Final Four drought by blowing past its competition in the 1952 NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks won by an average of 12 points per game in the tournament, including a 17-point dispatching of St. John's to take the championship. Clyde Lovellette dominated the final game for Kansas, scoring 33 points and grabbing 17 rebounds. 1953 - As defending national champions, Kansas made another trip to the championship game. But the Jayhawks couldn't pull off a victory against Indiana without Clyde Lovellette. The Hoosiers won their second NCAA title in their second championship match up against the Jayhawks. 1957 - Wilt Chamberlain's Jayhawks came excruciatingly close to winning a national championship in 1957, falling to North Carolina by one point in three overtimes. Chamberlain notched a double-double in the national final, but four Tar Heels scored in double digits in the 54-53 North Carolina victory. 1971 - Kansas won two close games to find its way to the Final Four before UCLA knocked the Jayhawks into the third-place game, 68-60. The Dave Robischled Jayhawks didn't have much luck in the consolation game, falling to Western Kentucky by two points. 1974 - Kansas couldn't make it out of the national semifinal in 1974, as Marquette spanked the Jayhawks by 13 points. North Carolina State used a bit of home court advantage to its favor in the Final Four, defeating Marquette, 76-64, in Greensboro, N.C. 1986 - Larry Brown took the Jayhawks to the Final Four in his third year as head coach, but Duke stymied Kansas in the national semifinal. The 1986 tournament marked the third straight Final Four in which the Jayhawks did not advance to the championship game. 1988 - Several decades of hard luck turned around in 1988, thanks to Danny Manning and the Miracles. Manning's Jayhawks entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 6 seed but ran their way past Xavier, Murray State, Vanderbilt and Kansas State en route to the Final Four. The Jayhawks defeated Duke in the semifinal before overcoming conference-foe Oklahoma, 83-79, in the championship. 1991 - Roy Williams' first trip to the Final Four as Kansas' head coach didn't result in a championship, but the No. 3 seed Jayhawks surprised the nation during their run through the brackets. Mark Randall, an underrated big man, led the Jayhawks' streak, which ended in a championship-game loss to Duke. 1993 - Kansas dominated its way through the 1993 NCAA Tournament before meeting its match in North Carolina. The Tar Heels, who eventually won the national championship, defeated the Jayhawks by 10 points in New Orleans.

Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, a phenomenal Maryland Terrapin squad full of future NBA stars awaited them. Maryland defeated Kansas by nine points and eventually won the title. 2003 - The Jayhawks' most recent trip to the Final Four was one of the program's most frustrating. An uber-talented Kansas team fell to Hakim Warrick and Carmelo Anthony's Syracuse team in the national championship, 81-78. To add insult to injury, coach Roy Williams bolted for North Carolina shortly after the end of the season. WEEKEND TIMES ONLY! • ADULTS $7.50 • $5.50(MATINEE), SENIOR Life Happens.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD LIBERTY HALL CINEMA 644 Massachusetts Lawrence.KS The 20-year anniversary has been brought up plenty of times this month as Kansas has embarked on its NCAA Tournament journey. We've heard a thousand times how Kansas last won the title in 1988 and how it could be destiny that the Jayhawks win it again this season. But were all forgetting something. Why the heck has it been so long since a national title? 1990 - A long era of heartbreak begins. Kansas loses in the second round to UCLA, the first of many too-early exits. 1989 - The season that never really mattered. Roy Williams led Kansas to 19 victories in his first year, but the Jayhawks were on probation and couldn't compete in postseason tournaments. Kansas looks back in the past MEN'S BASKETBALL Since 1988, Duke has won three national championships. North Carolina, Florida and Kentucky have won two. BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com While those powers have all taken titles home, Kansas has blown it for the most part. The Jayhawks have reached four Final Fours but never taken home the trophy. They've also lost in the first or second round seven times. Ow. Here's a quick recap on how Kansas missed out on each season since 1988. 1991 - Grant Hill leapt for alley oops higher than KU fans would've thought possible and dashed the Jayhawks' hopes in the national title game. Hey, at least Roy defeated North Carolina in the semi- 1998 - Let's remember this, Rhode Island didn't even have Lamar Odom yet. He started playing the next year. Still, the Rams got enough production from Tyson Wheeler and Cuttino Mobley to upset the Paul Pierce, Raef LaFrentz-led Jayhawks in the second round. 1999 - Kentucky survives a second round scare and knocks off the Jayhawks in overtime. Ryan Robertson scored 31 points in what was his final KU game. 1997 - Arguably the best team in Kansas history lost in the Sweet 16 to Arizona. 1992 - Really Jayhawks, UTEP? The Miners were good in 1966, back when they were still Texas Western. Kansas lost this one in the second round. 1993 - Dean Smith and his Tar Heels defeated the Jayhawks in the Final Four, avenging their loss from two years earlier. 1995 - Too easy. The Jayhawks played at Kemper Arena in the Sweet 16 and still lost to an average Virginia team. 2001 - Roy finally made it to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1997. The Athletics Department actually printed and sold T-shirts for this minor occasion. The Jayhawks lost to Bill Self's Illinois team in the Sweet 16. —Edited by Russell Davies 1996 - Jerod Haase missed all nine of his three-pointers against Syracuse's zone, and the Orangemen won in the Elite Eight. nals of the Final Four. 1994 - Kansas lost to favored Purdue in the Sweet 16. Purdue had one of the biggest NBA busts of all time on their roster, Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson. Jayhaws led No. 1 Duke at halftime but couldn't hold on. 2000 - All the negative karma that had been flowing against Kansas in the second round almost turned around. Almost. The 2005 - Aaron Miles, Keith Langford, Michael Lee and Wayne Simien finished their career with a shocking loss to Bucknell in the first round. This could never happen again, right? 2006 - Actually, it could. Kansas loses in the first round to Bradley. 2002. - Finally another Final Four. It had been nine years. Kansas fell behind early to an experienced Maryland in the semifinal and couldn't recover. The Terps went on to win the title. 2007 - Playing against the best No. 2 seed in the field is never easy. Playing against the best No. 2 seed in its home state? That's just a tad harder as Kansas found out. UCLA beat the Hawks in the Elite Eight. 2004 - A solid first run for Bill Self, albeit an easy one. After blowing out Illinois-Chicago, Pacific and Alabama-Birmingham, the Jayhawks lost in the Elite Eight to Georgia Tech. 2003 - Gerry McNamara making 167 three-pointers, Roy Williams saying he didn't much care about North Carolina and Kansas bricking 4,000 free throws. Long story short, the Jayhawks lost to Syracuse in the national title game. $20.00 OIL CHANGE Replace Oil and Filter Replace Oil and Filter FREE multi-point inspection report Savings of $0.95 Regular Price S26.95.

Hanging out in San Antonio and not sure what to do? The Kansan has got you covered. Freshman walk on Chase Buford is proud to call San Antonio his home. Buford graduated from Alamo Heights High Dr. C. A. school, and nobody on Kansas knows the Alamo City better than Buford. GOOD EATS The Original Blanco Café, 419 N Saint Marvys St. San Antonio is home to hundreds of quaint Mexican restaurants, and Buford's favorite is Blanco Café. Buford said: "You got to go to at least one hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant and get some tacos. I'm a big fan of Blanco Café. It's kind of like a chain mom-and-pop place; it's pretty solid. You're going to want to go with the No. 1 plate, though. It's two tacos and an enchilada plate for, like, six bucks." Rio Rio Cantina, 421 E. Commerce St. Suite 40, on the San Antonio River Walk Want something a little more upscale? Buford suggests you try the Rio Río Cantina on the famous San Antonio River Walk. It's open until 11 p.m., so you can slip in for a late dinner after the games. Paesano's Riverwalk, 111 W. Crockett St. Tired of Mexican? Buford said you couldn't go wrong with grubbing anywhere on the River Walk. In fact, Buford said you'd probably like Paesano's. It's Mediterranean and contemporary Italian dining. Try an oven-baked pizza or the legendary Shrimp Paesano. Order a cup of vino from Paesano's lengthy list of wines. Buford said: "Paesano's is pretty solid. It's different Paisano's [in Lawrence], but it's pretty good." ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS After this nasty Kansas winter, take advantage of the soothing warmth of San Antonio. Buford said San Antonio has a lot of great options for outdoor fun. Natural Bridge Caverns, Natural Bridge Caverns Road/ E.M.3009 Tired of being cooped up inside of a basketball arena? Check out this underground wonder 30 minutes north of downtown San Antonio. Times vary and tours cost $10 for the Discovery Tour and $100 for the Hidden Passages Adventure Tour. Buford said: "It's one of the world's largest underground caves." EMBRACING HISTORY: THE ALAMO Face it. The Alamo is San Antonio. Don't feel obligated to go, but going to San Antonio and skipping the Alamo is like going to St. Louis and not going to the Arch or going to Paris and skipping the Eiffel Tower. Here's a quick history lesson. Originally built as a mission, the Alamo was used as a military fort in the 19th century. During the Texas Revolution, the Alamo was the scene of a battle that saw more than 150 Texans killed by an army of 6,000 Mexicans led by General Santa Ana. After the battle, the rallying cry, "Remember the Alamo" was used as motivation in subsequent battles, and of course Davy Crockett was one of those killed at the Alamo. So disregard all those horrible theatrical depictions of the Alamo, and see it for yourself. Buford said: "I've been to the Alamo like 19 times for fieldtrips, but I think it's something you got to see once. It's pretty cool. I think it'd be cool if you understand it and appreciate it." A LITTLE NIGHTLIFE After the Alamo, San Antonio is all about the River Walk. Lined with restaurants, shops, and beautiful scenery, the River Walk is a major reason San Antonio attracts millions of tourists every year. Take a stroll down the River Walk, forget about your troubles and pretend you're in another country. If Kansas finds a way to be the last team standing Monday night, head straight for the River Walk. That's where the action will be. Buford said: "I've only been there a couple times. A lot of local people don't go down there, but it's still a lot of fun. There's a lot of good night life down there. It's kind of, 'find your own taste,' but if you look around, you can't go wrong." TAKING IN A GAME Unfortunately, the NBAs San Antonio Spurs are out of town. So the only basketball games your seeing are of the college variety. That should be OK though, because this Final Four might shape up be the best in recent memory. Four star-studded No.1 seeds will converge on the Alamodome in San Antonio. The building can hold 65,000, but the NCAA will cut the arena near in half for the Final Four leaving the expected attendance at around 40,000. The most bizarre thing about the Alamodome? It housed the San Antonio Texans of the Canadian Football League in 1995. Huh? Buford spent a lot of time around the Alamodome as a kid. His dad, R.C., is the general manager of the San Antonio Spurs, and the Spurs played in the Alamodome until 2002. - Edited by Daniel Reyes 30% OFF ALL SUNGLASSES (Some exceptions apply) the spectacle The HOT SPOT For Your HOT Summer Sunwear!

Kansas returned from Detroit advancing to its first Final Four since Roy Williams left for North Carolina in 2003. "Are these guys studs, or what?" Self asked the crowd about his Final Four team. Judging by the crowd's roaring reaction, they agreed. But for just about everyone else in the country, Kansas looked like a team that played tight and could barely get past a No. 10 seed. Self, dealing with the typical media questions that come after a close victory against an "inferior" opponent such as Davidson, tried to diffuse the notion that his team simply had a bad game. "I don't want to say we played poorly, because that takes away from Davidson," Self said in the press conference after the game. "They muddied up the game for us very, very well." Self was right. Davidson was a good team who gave Kansas its best. Davidson defeated the Big 10 Champion and No. 3 seed Wisconsin by 16 points and defeated the regular season Big East Champion No. 2 seed Georgetown in the tournament, but couldn't get past the Jayhaws. In the regular season, Davidson was ranked No. 23 in the AP Poll coming into the tournament. Davidson even played Kansas' next opponent, North Carolina, and lost by just four points. Though Kansas probably faced the toughest competition in Davidson out of all the Final Four teams this past weekend, Kansas is a three-point underdog going into Saturday's game and viewed as the weakest of the number one seeds Both sex and in aware of this perception, but have not taken it to heart. "I guess we could be the underdogs since we're the fourth number one seed," Self said Monday in the NCAA Final Four teleconference. "But I really think in this situation I don't think there is much of a difference between any of the teams from a performance standpoint." Kansas' lack of All-Americans as opposed to North Carolina, UCLA and Memphis give many another reason to believe Kansas' is the weakest one seed. For senior guard Russell Robinson, the lack of All-Americans is no reason for Kansas to be considered the underdogs. "I don't feel like we are the underdogs," said Robinson in a press conference on Monday. "Part of our success has come from us being unselfish and everybody sharing the spotlight and contributing. Different guys step up on different nights and that is how we got where we are." Until the actual game is played Saturday, there will be doubts of Kansas' chances against North Carolina. The Jayhawks need to focus on only one thing: the game. If Kansas gives into the belief that they are not as good as North Carolina, there will be trouble. Self knows this. "In general terms, you've just got @ KANSAN.COM Check for live Final Four updates from San Antonio this weekend. to believe that you're going do it," he said in a Kansas athletics press release on Wednesday after landing in San Antonio. "So many times when you're" hoping to win, you play not to lose — and we can't be that way" If there is one guy who will know a little something about believing Kansas' success this weekend, it would be Danny Manning. It's been 20 years since "Danny and the Miracles" made their run for the National Championship. If this year's Jayhawks can believe they can win, it would be fitting to dub them as "Bill Almighty and the Champs." Edited by Daniel Reyes Kansas to play Baylor in Waco Victory in series could salvage Jayhawks' Big 12 play BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com The calendar may have just turned to April, but the fate of Kansas' season may rest in Waco this weekend. "We've got to find a way to win a series," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "Not go in, play close and keep it competitive – we've got to find a way to get it done. If we have a lead, finish a game." Tonight at 6:30 the Jayhawks begin their series with the Bears at Baylor Ballpark. A series victory for Kansas (19-13, 1-5) could catapult the Jayhawks from last place in the Big 12. But a series defeat to Baylor (16-11, 3-6) would mark Kansas' third straight to begin conference play and might solidify its spot at the bottom of the league. The key for Kansas, as usual, will be what kind of performances it gets from its starting pitching. Last weekend, Kansas' starters combined for 7.2 innings - 5.1 of which coming from junior left-hander Nick Czyz - stretching the Jayhawk bullpen to its limits. Sophomore left-hander Wally Marceli had the roughest outing of the bunch, lasing just 1/3 of an inning Friday, allowing eight runs and prompting Price to shuffle his weekend rotation. Czyz (1-3) has moved up a day and will pitch tonight, senior right-hander Andres Esquibel (2-1) has reentered the rotation to pitch Saturday at 6:30 p.m., and junior left-hander Sam Freeman (4-0) will pitch the series finale Sunday at 1 p.m. While Czyz and Freeman have bloated 7.24 and 6.75 respective ERAs, Esquibel enters the weekend leading Kansas with a 2.68 ERA. Price has predominantly used Esquibel as his go-to arm in the bullpen, but after what happened last weekend, Price decided to sandwich his most reliable pitcher between Czyz and Freeman. Sophomore right-hander Kendal Volz (3-2) will start tonight, freshman right-hander Shawn Tolleson (2-1) will start Saturday and sophomore right-hander Willie Kempf As for Baylor's rotation, the Bears are standing pat. "He's our best guy and the one thing it does, it depletes our bullpen." Price said of Esquibel. "But I think at this point in time we've got to get three quality starts in order to have an opportunity to win a series and we had to make a change." (4-1) will start Sunday. The trio own 5.40, 3.58 and 3.41 respective ERAs, but as a team, Baylor's 4.72 ERA is just lower than Kansas' 4.96 team ERA. When Baylor coach Steve Smith turns to his bullpen, three arms in particular are his most dependable. Senior right-hander Tim Matthews (1-0) leads the team with a 1.93 ERA, freshman right-hander Craig Fritsch (1-2) is next with a 2.49 ERA, and despite a 6.06 ERA, senior right-hander Nick Cassavechia (0-2) leads the team with five saves. With so many arms at Smith's disposal, Price knows his offense will be put to the test — especially since Kansas saw mostly changeups from Wichita State Tuesday and lesser velocity pitchers from Saint Mary Wednesday. "Baylor pitches with plus velocity," Price said. "They have some of the best arms in the country. They pitched the ball good against us last year. It's the strength of their team." Baylor and Kansas currently reside eighth and tenth in the Big 12 standings, which is a bit surprising considering how each team entered the season. Baylor was ranked No. 15 in Baseball America's preseason poll and even higher in other polls while Kansas returned a strong group of upperclassmen, including four experienced seniors. But in the first few weekends of Big 12 action, both clubs' seasons have turned sour. Since beating Oklahoma State, 2-1, to open its conference season, Baylor has dropped its last two Big 12 series while Kansas is still searching for its first conference series victory. "We're going to go play one of the best teams in the country," Price said. "They opened the season in the Top 10 and they're struggling right now, I think it's really a testimony to how good the league is. It may be the best league in America, top to bottom. It's certainly the best it's been the six years I've been in the league." "We've got to win the series," senior infielder Matt Berner said. "We've got to win a series on the road, get us going in the right direction. It's pretty much that simple." And Price's players are well aware of how much this weekend means to their season. — Edited by Russell Davies NEED CASH? t Instant Money Today Donate plasma. it pays to save a life. $40 TODAY $80 THIS WEEK FOR NEW DONORS BEST SCORER best players of the Final Four FOR NEW DONORS BEST PASSER Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina forward Hansbrough's game isn't pretty, but he is extremely effective. He can bruise smaller defenders in the post or step back near the three-point line against bigger defenders to get his points. Hansbrough is also great at finding his way to the free-throw line, where he converts at an 81 percent clip. Mario Chalmers, Kansas guard BEST OUTSIDE SHOOTER BEST REBOUNDER Kevin Love, UCLA forward At 6-foot-10 and 250 pounds, Love doesn't look like an elite leaper. But the UCLA post uses great fundamentals to seal off opponents and his thick frame to create space to work on the glass. Love averaged nearly 11 rebounds per game this season, second-best in the PAC-10 Conference. Ty Lawson, North Carolina guard UCLA point guard Darren Collison may shoot a better percentage from beyond the arc, but Chalmers gets extra credit for making 20 more three-pointers than Collison did. Chalmers' ability to torch defenses from long range is Kansas' most dangerous weapon, especially when the Jayhawks are in their transition offense. Most of the attention Lawson has earned has been thanks to his lightning-quick feet and ability to hustle the Tar Heel offense down court. But the diminutive guard is an under-rated passer in the half-court offense. After all, someone has to feed the multitude of North BEST DEFENDER Carolina offensive options. Russell Robinson, Kansas guard Robinson doesn't even lead his own team in steals, but his intense on-ball pressure frequently forces opposing guards to take bad shots or throw errant passes. Robinson is usually matched up with the opponent's best guard, and he usually puts the clamps on. In the Jayhawks' Sweet Sixteen victory against Villanova, Robinson limited Scottie Reynolds to 11 points on 4-for-13 shooting. Memphis loses points for its generic look. North Carolina's color scheme is excellent but loses some of its luster away from the Tar Heels' home court. UCLA sports some classic duds, but changing the color of the "C" in UCLA to celebrate 100 NCAA Championships seems a little silly. Sure, some people hate the new font and style, but there's no denying that the uniforms look outstanding.

Jayhawks bounce back Wednesday Junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto said the Kansas defense could have done a better job helping the pitching staff. "Defensively, we probably could have picked our pitchers up a little bit better as well," Crisoto said. Coach Tracy Burge was impressed with Creighton and predicted they would most likely win the Missouri Valley Conference. Bunge credited Creighton for capitalizing on the Jayhawks' mistakes. "When we gave them anything, they made us pay for it," Bunge said. The team came back and won the second game, 6-3. Crisosto and sophomore first baseman Amanda Jobe both had three RBI and a homerun.

NORTH CAROLINA 7:47 p.m., Alamodome, San Antonio, CBS ATAGLANCE Kansas fans better hope that Kansas isn't as nervous as it was last week against Davidson. The Jayhawks, except Kaun, played tight the entire game and nearly lost to an inferior team. That can't happen against the Tar Heels. They're too good and too fast. They could run Kansas out of the gym if the players get off to another poor start. But fans need not worry too much. The Jayhawks should be relaxed after finally making the Final Four and ready to play. They'll be ready early. This is the guy who is going to have to guard Tyler Hansbrough. Jackson is too small and Arthur doesn't have WHO TO WATCH Kaun the drive or the discipline. Kaun will be the best defender against Hansbrough. He's tall, strong and physical. The only problem is that Kaun is also one of the most inconsistent players in KU history. Sure, he had a great game last time, but can he do it again? This could be the last game of his career so he better be as fired up as he was against Davidson. If he holds Hansbrough to his average, call it a success. Is Kansas a team of destiny? QUESTION MARK That's the overriding question. Kansas fans endured 20 years of March heartbreak since the Jayhawks' last title in 1988. Two more victories could erase all of those painful memories. It starts with North Carolina and Roy Williams tomorrow. Williams contributed to 15 of those non-championship seasons while at Kansas. Now he stands as an obstacle. Can it just be coincidence? The script is in place for a special weekend for Kansas. But the question remains, as it does every March: Is this really the year? HEARYE, HEARYE "I'm not a rookie. Even though I haven't coached in the final four yet, there are other big games throughout a season, but none of the magnitude of this. I don't feel like a rookie. I've been doing this a little while. Certainly, I do think every time you experience something, you potentially benefit from it. I would hope that if I have the opportunity to coach in the Final Four again, I hope I'm better than I am the first time because you always learn something." Kansas (35-3,13-3) THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 PETER L. MCKINNEY Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Robinson has been going up against some of his toughest defensive jobs in the NCAA Tournament - from Wink Adams to Scottie Reynolds to Stephen Curry. Now, he's got Tyron Lawson. He's really good. North Carolina (38-2,14-2) NICK KENNETH ★★★☆ Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard A little bit more consistency this time, please. Chalmers matched Curry basket for basket in the first half of Sunday's game before disappearing in the second half. If Kansas wants to win this high-scoring ball game, Chalmers has to be at his best for all 40 minutes. BRIAN S. MCNAMON JONATHAN HAWKINS ★★★★☆ Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard Rush meet your twin, Wayne Ellington. The two players are remarkably similar - good athletes with great outside shots. Rush has the edge on defense, though. When Rush scores easily, Kansas is a better team. THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward Arthur has yet to be a factor this entire tournament, and Kansas hasn't even played a team with a decent frontline. On Saturday, he'll face a terrific frontcourt and the best big man in the country not named Michael Beasley. If he's ever going to step up for the Jayhawks, it has to be on Saturday night. ALEXANDER DAVIS It's been a long time since Jackson has taken over a game like he did a few times in the middle of the season. Foul trouble and possibly plain old fatigue have caused his minutes to go down recently. ★★★☆ Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward ★★★☆☆ ★★★★☆ Injuries have slowed down Lawson for much of the season but when he's in, few guards can do as much as him. While he was out, North Carolina slightly struggled. Now that he's back, the Tar Heels are playing their best basketball. Ty Lawson, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard THE SIXTH MAN ★★★☆ NAPLES Sasha Kaun, 6-foot-11 senior center He's been the first man off the bench lately for Kansas and was the most important player on Sunday. If Kaun didn't have a great game (13 points and six rebounds), the Jayhawks would be watching Davidson play North Carolina. It's that simple. ★★★★ KANSAS 15 Mario Chalmers The Jayhawks decide not to run with the Tar Heels. Carolina runs better than any team in the country, and Self said Kansas is going to play its usual uptempo style and try to match them. Not a good idea. Kansas can play both ways and has a superior defense. The Jayhawks should try and slow the game down because they probably won't win a running match. If Ellington is on from outside, Kansas could be in trouble. Hansbrough will definitely light it up inside, but the Jayhawks can at least prevent Ellington from playing well. If they don't, Carolina will have a much easier time. KANSAS 15 Wayne Ellington, 6-foot-4 sophomore guard The Alamodome Will Rock for KU If... Mark Dent A ★★★★☆ Marcus Ginyard, 6-foot-5 junior forward Ginny is a streaky shooter. He rarely blows up but at times he can contribute from the outside. Carolina needs him more to be a lockdown defender. Expect him to guard Rush for most of the game. JEWEL SMITH T Deon Thompson, 6-foot-8 sophomore forward ★★★☆★ Thompson is a solid second man to Hansbrough. He scores about eight points, grabs about four rebounds and plays good defense. He's athletic and long and should match up well against Arthur. ★★★☆☆ Tyler Hansbrough, 6-foot-9 junior forward MAROON It's safe to say that Hansbrough is at least the second best player in the country. He scores at will and rebounds about as good as any big man. Everyone raves about how hard he works, but he's also a tremendous athlete. THE SIXTH MAN Danny Green, 6-foot-6 junior If Hansbrough is the best player, Green is the best dancer. He's best known for giving his team energy during warmups with his dance moves and then during the game as a reliable slasher and shooter. ★★★★☆ Rustin Dodd Phog Allen Will Roll Over In Over In His Grave If... Kansas loses by double digits. This would be a disaster. The season would end on a bad note, and to make matters worse, Roy Williams will have defeated his old school. The KU fans who haven't forgiven Williams will be inconsolable. They'll have new hatred for him and could turn on Bill Self, Here's the worst case scenario: North Carolina rolls and because of all the angst from fans, Self decides to split for Oklahoma State. UNC TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Roy Williams has been dreading this day for five years. If he had it his way, North Carolina would never have to play Kansas. He still cares a lot about the Jayhawks and has to feel bad about the way KU fans have treated him since he left. People wondered if Williams was focused for the Final Four in 2003 when North Carolina courted him to be its coach. Will he be focused enough this time or will playing Kansas cause distractions? Williams has said multiple times this week that the game is about the players. It really isn't. This is still KU vs. Roy. WHO TO WATCH Tyler Hansbrough is going to score, but Kansas can handle that. The Jayhawks have beat DJ. Augustin and —Bill Self PITT Ellington Michael Beasley before. The key for the Tar Heels will be getting solid production from someone else. Ellington could be the guy. He can go for major scoring bursts a la Brandon Rush but hasn't been able to develop enough consistency to be a star this season. Ellington will be ready to go for this game and will provide some serious problems for Kansas. Can Carolina play defense? QUESTION MARK Earlier this season, Roy Williams scolded his players for being lax on the defensive end. They could score all they wanted, but their defense was sub par. The Tar Heels played close games against Clemson and Georgia Tech — teams they should have beat easily — because of their poor defense. Toward the end of the year, they started to tighten up. North Carolina defended well against top ACC teams such as Duke. In the tournament, Carolina has won easily because of its offense. Defense hasn't really mattered. It will matter against Kansas. The Jayhawks play tight defense, and the Tar Heels will have to at least make some stops if Kansas makes it a slow-paced game with a small number of possessions. HEARYE. HEARYE "Well, no disrespect to Kansas State, but it is different. Against Beasley, we did a great job with him and held him to 39 points, so there is a difference. Getting the floor spread allows Hansbrough to get more easy touches than Michael gets. So there are some differences there." — Kansas coach Bill Self on the difference between Hansbrough and Michael Beasley. JAYHAWK STATS

1 THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TRASH LITTERS MASS STREET AFTER FINAL FOUR VICTORY >> PAGE 8A TEAM PREPARES TO FACE MEMPHIS >> PAGE 12B MONDAY, APRIL 7, 2008 WWW.KANSAN.COM KANSAS 84 NORTH CAROLINA 66 ROYDOWN, ONE TO GO KANSAS Rock Chalk Dancers Kailee Rowers and Kelly Cure celebrate after Kansas' 84-66 victory against North Carolina on Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The victory advances Kansas to the national title game, where it will face Memphis. Jon Goering/KANSAN Jayhawks fly over hurdles set by critics, prove them wrong with stunning victory BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — For five days the players watched and read all about North Carolina's advantages. How the Tar Heels could run better than anyone else. How Tyler Hansbrough played harder than any player in history. Could Kansas handle all that? "From what I'd seen on ESPN," senior guard Russell Robinson said, "I guess not. They said Tyler would do this, and they would do that." As it turned out, Carolina didn't do much of anything. Kansas beat the Tar Heels 84-66 at their own game Saturday at the Alamodome, running past them at the beginning and end, and upsetting the tournament's No.1 seed. "We were the underdog the whole game," junior guard Brandon Rush said. "We just came out and applied pressure to them. We got up and did some big things." North Carolina didn't have it so easy. Shots missed everything but the backboard on more than one occasion. Loose balls went into the hands of jayhawks. One player even got called for a lane violation. Kansas showed the nation that North Carolina might not have been the best running team and certainly not the best team in the tournament within the first few minutes. Rush made three-pointers. Cole Aldrich stole a rebound from Hansbrug then later hit a fade away over the Tar Heels' star. Nothing could go wrong for the Jayhawks. When the players looked at the scoreboard with 6:45 left in the first half, they were on top 40-12. Kansas had made a 25-2 run. "We definitely played the best basketball we played in the first half in that first 15 minutes," Rush said. The Jawhaws entered Saturday night's game against the Tar Heels without a care in the world. Yeah, they wanted to win, but this wasn't like last weekend. Back then, they dealt with playing against Davidson, America's sweetheart, and Stephen Curry, the face likely to be seen the most times on "One Shining Moment." They watched the three other No. 1 seeds advance to the Final Four and knew they needed to make it to complete a historical run. That's how a team without expectations can play. And then there was this thing about Self not making it to the Final Four in his first four previous trips to the Elite Eight. "People have termed our postseasons as failures." Self said. "They just felt like something was off their back, and they just played free and easy." They got their lead a little too early though. "It seemed like the clock was taking forever to tick." Robinson said. Carolina made its run and trailed by 17 at halftime and by just four midway through the second half. Self thought back to his first NCAA tournament game at Tulsa. His team was up 26 on the College of Charleston, which ended up hitting a three-pointer to take the lead with one minute left. "I still remember watching the tape later," Self said, "and Al McGuire said it would have been the biggest comeback in NCAA tournament history." With the Tar Heels down 64-59 near the six-minute mark, Self called a timeout and told his players to just relax. Collins hit a three-pointer on the next possession. Rush took over the rest of the way, scoring eight of his 25 points in the last few minutes. Tulsa won that game. Self made sure his team wouldn't lose this one. With Rush leading the way, Kansas closed on a 20-7 run, sealing a spot in the title game. The Jayhawks have been eyeing this night since October. Now they get their opportunity to make Kansas history. "It's an unbelievable feeling." Aldrich said. Fans cause chaos downtown Edited Bv Sasha Roe Lawrence police officers struggled to control the crowds on Massachusetts Street Saturday, angering some motorists. But a Lawrence Police Department press release thanked fans for being considerate while celebrating. FULL STORY PAGE 3A Students disappointed with seats Students placed in the upper-deck seats at the Final Four were upset with Kansas Athletics' seating arrangement for students. The student section was split between the back of the lower level and the front of the upper level. Many felt that the student fans could have been heard better had they been seated closer to the court.

Brenna Hawley Meet your Student Senator with David Wilcox BY JASON BAKER jbaker@kansan.com THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 7, 2008 If you're looking for money for your group on campus, David Wilcox is your go-to guy. His role as a senator for the freshman/sophomore CLAS, is to write up legislation to provide funding for groups or for special events such as an "awareness week." The Manhattan sophomore with United Students is also on the Student Rights Committee. "My duties as a senator, I believe, are to come to Senate meetings on Wednesday night with an open mind, and to vote on what I think is best for the students," Wilcox said. students might just see it as 'another increase.' Wilcox said he thought that the student population felt "left in the dark" about the decisions that Senate made. "There are certain student fee increases that come out of Senate, and students, naturally, can become angry or confused, not knowing the rationale of the decision," he said. "Sometimes a fee increase is altogether necessary." Like a Kansas Union facilities and operations fee that is paid every five years, hypothetically, yet the Another example Wilcox gave was the A+/A- system that will begin next semester. "This decision was made without much student input. And I don't just mean Senate input, but the average college student, who would be taking these classes on an A+/A- system, did not have much of a voice regarding the situation," he said. Wilcox believes that the senators should be able to easily explain the issues to the students on campus so they can be united on the issues. He believes that students do have a powerful voice to use to make a difference at the University. Outside of Senate, Wilcox is involved with the University Scholars Program and Greek Endeavors, and is a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Wilcox is a double major in English and biology, and has no idea what he wants to do afterward. "Medical school? Graduate school in English? Research? Don't ask me I have no idea," he said. "After a wonderful visit to Washington D.C. over spring break, I felt extremely American, returning to Lawrence with newfound motivation. Politics, perhaps? If only college was eight years long," he said. While he tries to figure that part out, he plans on attending the British Summer Institute this summer through the KU Study Abroad Program. Although for the first time in his life, he will not be celebrating the Fourth of July here in the United States, "I'll be sure to be obnoxious in my red, white and blue apparel," he joked. PARKS Wilcox admits that he is a huge movie geek and loves several movies such as "Rushmore," which he thinks is brilliant, and "Waiting for Guffman." When it comes to music, Wilcox says he's mood-dependent. He loves everything from rap to techno to rock. But he's not a fan of country, Nickelback or anything similar, which he says is strange considering he's from Manhattan. He's looking forward to seeing the rapper M.I.A. in may at Liberty Hall, but feels conflicted because a favorite band of his, Wilco, is performing that same night. Wilcox loves KU basket ball, and like many others, was on Massachusetts Street after the Jayhawks defeated Davidson to make it to the Final Four. "I literally sprinted to Massachusetts Street after the game and just let the experience sink in. That night will be forever remembered - it was crazy," Wilcox said. He also loves the other KU sports. "Nothing beats a home (football) game Saturday in the fall. It's also great in the springtime to relax and enjoy a game of Hawks baseball."

Street celebration U BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS Contributed by Michelle Sprehe fchambers@kansan.com MORRIS COUNTY POLICE Contributed by Michelle Sprehe LAMPE Y CALIBRO Despite the Lawrence Police Department's forewarning that pedestrians would have to be respectful of motorists on Massachusetts Street after the basketball game, crowds swarmed cars and stopped traffic. Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN KU fans celebrate on Massachusetts Street and Lawrence police patrol the scene Saturday night after Kansas defeated North Carolina, 84-66, in the Final Four game. Kansas will take on Memphis in the NCAA Championship Monday night. Several fans also took the opportunity to go streaking. Chris Flanders, Overland Park sophomore, said the people who danced naked on top of vehicles were not cool, but he said he shared their excitement. "If they wanna go crazy, I support them, but I don't want to see their dicks." Flanders said. Most motorists said they did not mind the congestion of people, but they did not appreciate people attacking their vehicles. The Lawrence Police Department said the evening went well. In a press release issued Sunday, Sgt. Paul Fellers said no major events occurred Saturday night. "Jayhawk fans are to be commended for their cooperation and consideration of other fans and the community during Saturday night's celebration," the press release said. Lawrence police officers on Massachusetts Street Saturday night said they were not allowed to comment to the media. The KU Public Safety Office said that it could not comment because the event was being controlled by the @KANSAN.COM then what's the problem?" Baker was annoyed that the police did not have control over the crowd. She said the police officers, who were standing in groups needed to spread out. Heather Baker, a Lawrence freshman who was a passenger in a vehicle that night, said she was a KU fan and not an enemy, so she did not understand why fans were attacking her car. "Instead of standing over there high-fiving people, they need to be over here directing traffic like they usually do," Baker said. "This ain't kick-it time." Lawrence Police Department. Wyatt Desk, a Lawrence resident who was a passenger in a vehicle, said he did not want people jumping on his car, but he did not think the police should interfere.

"If we're not hurting anybody, wife Debbie expected there to be a riot, and they enjoyed the crowds. "And we're 50 years old," Debbie said and started laughing. Debbie said their 19-year-old daughter was also part of the crowd. She said she did not mind her daughter's involvement because she knew her daughter would not get herself into trouble. Katie Collins, Olathe sophomore, she said she did not think the police cared that fans were streaking. Collins said she did not want to see fans' genitalia, but that their behavior did not disturb her. "I think it shows their spirit," Collins said and followed with a loud victory scream.

Some students seated in the upper level were disappointed. "This is bullshit," said Pace McKeen, Memphis, Tenn., freshman. "The Athletics Department said we'd have lower-level seats." 25 Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — Many student fans were disappointed with the location of their seats for the Final Four in the Alamodome in San Antonio. The angiest fans were those seated in the upper deck. "This is bullshit," said Pace McKee, Memphis, Tenn., freshman. "The Athletics Department said we have lower-level seats, now we have upper-level seats." Students in the first six rows of Kansas' upper-level seats grumbled about their seating as they walked in. "We're students, and I thought we'd be closer," McKee said. "I thought we could make more noise, and the team would hear us." Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said that about 140 students were seated in lower-level seats, and the rest were sent to the upper-level. Last week, Marchiony told The University Daily Kansan that students with lottery tickets would be seated in the downstairs portion of the Alamodome. "We were determined to put as many students as we could downstairs," Marchiony said. "We started planning around that." Marchiony said that students were given the second-closest seats that Kansas Athletics gave away, behind only the friends and family of basketball players and coaches. "The students were seated in front of $10,000 donors," Marchiony said. Marchiony also noted that only 50 UCLA students were given seats in the lower level. He also pointed out that all students, even those in lower-level seats, paid upper-level prices, which was $170. Scott Perlmutter, Fresno, Calif. senior, was one of the students who was seated in the lower level. He said that the lower-level seats went to people who camped out for a few hours before the will call booth opened at 9:30 Saturday morning. "A friend told us to get in line early, so we got here at 8:30 a.m." Perlmutter said. Perlmutter estimated that about only 30 students received tickets to lower-level seats. "We feel lucky, but it sucks that we can't have everyone together to make it louder, especially closer to the court so we can be heard," he said. Perlmutter and the rest of the students who received lower-level seating were seated toward the back of the arena. Students may be happier with their seats at future Final Fours thanks to NCAA legislation that plans to put student sections directly behind the baskets. "That'll be nice," Perlmutter said. "Then the team will hear us for sure." Marchiony said that the legislation would also put student tickets into a voucher system, which would prevent them from selling them to other people.

BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — The banner under the scoreboard in the Alamodome read "The road ends here." How appropriate for the Kansas fans who made the 12-hour, 780-mile road trip to San Antonio to see the Jayhawks in the Final Four. Many Kansas fans took the long drive down Interstate 35 through Oklahoma and parts of Texas to get to San Antonio despite gas prices. "Gas was definitely our biggest expense," said Grant Buffington, St. Louis junior. Buffington was one of the winners in the Kansas Athletics student ticket lottery for the Final Four. His and all other lottery winners' tickets cost $170. Many fans hit the road in groups to cut down the cost. Buffington traveled with seven friends in two cars. He estimated that each car took "a little over $100" in gas to get to San Antonio. His group also saved money by staying at a friend's house near San Antonio. "He didn't come to the Final Four, but he was willing to make the trip back and let us stay with him at his place," Buffington said. Meghan Daniels, Long Beach. Calif., sophomore, said her group cut the cost of a hotel by packing a room. Kansas benefited from having one of the shorter drives compared with "We have about eight people in one room, so it's going to cost about $14 each for a night," Daniels said.

UCLA fans who made their road trip were difficult to find in the crowd. Expenses didn't end with travel and hotel for fans who didn't get Final Four tickets through the "We got here a day early to try and find tickets, but we didn't get any until 3:30 p.m. the day of the games," Valdez said.

"We walked in, and we got really hyped up because we were finally here at the Final Four," Valdez said. Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird HEALTH Prescriptions go to waste BY CANDICE CHOI ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The struggle to keep soaring medical costs in check is feeding an increase in state programs that collect unused prescription drugs to give away to the uninsured and poor. Some states allow donations of sealed drugs from individuals, while others only accept pharmaceuticals from institutions, such as doctor's offices or assisted-living homes. Drugs are typically vetted by pharmacists to cross-check safety, then distributed by hospitals, pharmacies or charitable clinics. The type of drugs donated run the gamut and include antibiotics, antipsychotics, blood thinners and antidepressants. At least 33 states have laws to allow or study drug recycling programs, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Most state programs are just a few years old or still in the test stages, but officials envision huge gains. In Iowa, David Fries, CEO of the Iowa Prescription Drug Corp., said the program has the potential to double or triple in the near future. Officials in Tulsa, Okla., also see plenty of room for growth. "There are millions of dollars of unused meds out there that have not been captured," said Linda Johnston, director of social services for Tulsa County. Regulations to ensure safety vary from state to state, but the basic concept is the same. ASSOCIATED PRESS A pilot program in Cheyenne, Drugs that have been donated to the state's drug recycling program at the offices in Cheyenne, Wyo. help keep in check soaring medical costs and drug costs. Wyo., last year netted $81,000 in donated drugs to fill 557 prescriptions. State officials say that's just a small slice of the vast reserves of drugs that go to waste each year. The program is now working to get $180,000 in drugs it has online so it can be accessed by other programs in the state.

Dean said that was partly because presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama want to focus on the coming round of contests. Next on the schedule are Pennsylvania on April 22 and Indiana and North Carolina on May 6, followed by several other states and U.S. territories. Voting ends June 3. But he continued to express confidence that an agreement would be reached to seat delegates from both states. Both states have abandoned plans to hold do-over contests but are demanding to be included in the process. Dean has had talks with officials egates — a total of 366 — for holding primaries too early in the process, violating party rules. Clinton and Obama agreed not to campaign in either state, and Obama joined other candidates in removing their names from Michigan's ballot. Clinton won both primaries, and she and her campaign have been pressing for those results to be recognized. Obama objects. "It's going to take some time to work that out because these candidates are really focused on these primary battles..." "It's going to take some time to work that out because these candidates are really focused on these primary battles in ... Pennsylvania and West Virginia and North Carolina and so forth and so on," Dean told "Face the Nation" on CBS. "But I think we can work it out, and I want to work it out," he said. HOWARD DEAN Democratic Party Chief During a separate interview on ABC's "This Week," Dean said "I agree" when asked whether a solution will have to wait until after the last Democratic contests in South Dakota and Montana on June 3 and after the remaining superdelegates have said which candidate they support. The Democratic National Committee stripped Florida and Michigan of their convention del- from both states but says Obama and Clinton must be part of any deal. The former first lady trails both in the popular vote and in the pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses, and has said she will take her fight for the nomination to the August convention in Denver if necessary. Dean also has urged the superdelegates — the nearly 800 elected and other Democratic officials who are free to vote for whomever they choose — to take a position soon after the voting ends to avoid a convention fight. More than half the superdelegates have said which candidate they will support. Dean said the nominee should be evident by June 1. "Unless this is a dead heat, there's no reason to go to Denver," Dean said on CBS. "If the unpledged delegates will make their preferences clear and the voters will make their preferences clear, which they will by the third of June, then we'll know who our nominee is and we can win." OBITUARY Actor, activist Heston dies at 84 BY DAVID GERMAIN ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION LOS ANGELES — Nancy Reagan was heartbroken over Charlton Heston's death. President Bush hailed him as a "strong advocate for liberty" while John McCain called Heston a devotee for civil and constitutional rights. Even Michael Moore, who mocked Heston in his gun-control documentary "Bowling for Columbine," posted the actor's picture on his Web site to mark his passing. ASSOCIATED PRESS Heston, who died Saturday night at 84, was a towering figure both in his politics and on screen, where his characters had the ear of God (Moses in "The Ten Commandments"), survived apocalyptic plagues ("The Omega Man") and endured one of Hollywood's most grueling action sequences (the chariot race in "Ben-Hur," which earned him the best-actor Academy Award). Better known in recent years as a fierce gun-rights advocate who headed the National Rifle Association, Heston played legendary leaders and ordinary men hurled into heroic struggles. National Rifle Association president Charton Heston died Saturday at 84, according to a statement from the actor's family. Heston won the 1959 best-actor Oscar as the chariot-racing "Ben-Hur" and portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the '50s and' 60s. "In taking on epic and commanding roles, he showed himself to be one of our nation's most gifted actors, and his legacy will forever be a part of our cinema." Republican presidential candidate McCain said in a statement that also noted Heston's involvement in the civil-rights movement and his stand against gun control. Heston's jutting jaw, regal bearing and booming voice served him well as Marc Antony in "Julius Caesar" and "Antony and Cleopatra," Michelangelo in "The Agony and the Ecstasy," John the Baptist in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and an astronaut on a topsy-turvy world where simians rule in "Planet of the Apes." "Charlton Heston was seen by the world as larger than life," Heston's family said in a statement. "We knew him as an adoring husband, a kind and devoted father, and a gentle grandfather with an infectious sense of humor. He served these far greater roles with tremendous faith, courage and dignity." The actor died at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife, Lydia, at his side, family spokesman Bill Powers said. He declined to comment on the cause of death or provide further details Sunday.

Throngs of fans flooded Mass. Street to celebrate Kansas' trip to the championship game. Parks and Recreation employees cleaned up Mass. Street in three shifts: before the event began, during the celebration and Sunday morning. Victory celebration spills onto Mass. Street BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE cssommerville@kansan.com It was the morning after. The smell of beer wafted, and a loud roar echoed up and down Massachusetts Street after the lajvahwaks beat the Tarheels 84-66 in Saturday's Final Four game. But the smell came from beer that was spilled all over the street and the loud roar came from a street sweeper. @ Miles, the horticulture manager for Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said there was a lot of stuff to pick up. Twelve Parks and Rec. employees and two Street Department employees cleaned up Mass. Street in three shifts; before the event began, during the celebration and Sunday morning. @ KANSAN.COM Photo galleries of Mass. Street celebration and its aftermath The huge parade of students and fans left a lot behind. Crystal The hardest shift came at 6 a.m. on Sunday. The crew used leaf blowers and trash grabbers to clean up the mess. Miles was surprised at the amount of trash. "It's enormous. I can't even describe it." Miles said. Tulips and daffodils that were planted for spring were trampled. Miles said the plastic cups, beer cans and beer bottles. She estimated it would take two or three street sweeper loads and a few loads of the trash truck to clean up all the garbage. "It's enormous. I can't even describe it." CRYSTAL MILES Horticulture Manager Lawrence Parks and Recreation The strangest thing the crew found were bolts from a pickup truck bed. Miles said the crew guessed the bed was overloaded and may have been damaged. Each street sweeper holds about three to four cubic yards. Miles said only flower beds were completely destroyed Saturday night. Edited by Daniel Reyes Massachusetts Street was littered with trash following the post-Final Four celebration Saturday.

Pirates seized control of a French cruise ship carrying 30 crew members Friday, in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia, the French Foreign Ministry and the ship's owner said. ASSOCIATED PRESS Luxury liner hijacked off coast of Somalia BY SALAD DUHUL ASSOCIATED PRESS MOGADISHU, Somalia — France has made contact with pirates who hijacked a French luxury yacht off Africa's eastern coast with 30 French and Ukrainian crew members on board, the French foreign minister said Sunday. The hijacking comes amid a surge in piracy in the seas off the chaotic Horn of Africa nation, where a weak and impoverished government is unable to patrol its territorial waters. Pirates have seized more than two dozen ships off the country's coast in the last year. About ten suspected pirates stormed the 288-foot Le Ponant on Friday as it was returning, without passengers, from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner told France-Inter radio that France was in contact with the pirates. "We have to do everything to avoid bloodshed," Kouchner said. France's prime minister said Saturday that he hoped to avoid force in freeing the crew but that no options had been ruled out. A French diplomat working on the case said the hostages were being treated well. The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to media. Somalia — wracked by more than a decade of violence and anarchy does not have its own navy, its armed forces are poorly paid and a transitional government formed in 2004 with U.N. help has struggled to assert control. The U.S. Navy has led international patrols to try to combat piracy in the region. But an increase in naval patrols has coincided with a rash of kidnappings of foreigners on land. Late Sunday, Islamic militants took possession of Balad, a town 18 miles north of Mogadishu, said resident Abdi Ibrahim. It is the ninth town they have taken in the past few months. The insurgency, bandits and clan militias all contribute to the insecurity. Two U.N. contractors are currently being held hostage in the south of the country and several aid workers and a French journalist have been seized in the past few months. The International Maritime Bureau, which tracks piracy, said in its annual report earlier this year that global pirate attacks rose 10 percent in 2007, marking the first increase in three years. --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 7, 2008 NEWS 》CAMPUS 9A Events, groups raise assault awareness BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers.com fchambers@kansan.com In addition to crimson and blue, the colors teal and white will be prevalent on campus this week. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center will tie teal ribbons to trees along Jayhawk Boulevard and the student group One in Four will pass out white ribbon pins on Wescoe Beach to raise awareness about sexual violence against women. Angela Oliver, assistant director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said more attention needed to be brought to sexual violence against women because it was one of the most unreported crimes. "Many of the victims are acquaintances, which is a huge cultural problem," Oliver said. The teal and white ribbon campaigns are parts of national campaigns that promote Sexual Assault Awareness Month, or SAAM. The women's resource center, One in Four and several other campus organizations will be host to other sexual violence awareness events throughout April, as well, including Mike Domitrz's program, "Can I Kiss You?" Domitrz, who began "Can I Kiss You?" in 1990 after his sister was raped, said he would teach students how to make dating easier and more fun. He said he would teach students how to read body language, know when to make a move and how to handle situations that involve alcohol, to result in safer choices. Domitrz said he did not want to give away too many details about the program, but he said the program was extremely interactive. He said students would be on stage, and the audience would be able to shout out answers to questions. Domitrz will be performing from 6 to 7 p.m. and 8 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday in the Kansas Ballroom at the Kansas Union. Domitrz has also written two books and is the director of The Date Safe Project. Rehaan Shaffte, Overland Park senior and president of the men's group One in Four, said the group would run an informational table at Domitrz's program, where the group will pass out pledges that will be hung the Kansas Union's lobby. He said even though the violence was aimed at women, it was a problem that affected men, too. He said women had made great strides toward ending the violence, but until men joined the fight, violence against women would continue. sexual assault awareness month events Wed., April 9: "Can I Kiss You?" presented by Mike Domitzr from 6 to 7 p.m. and 8 to 9 p.m. in the Kansas Ballroom at the Kansas Union. Students who attend can also enter a drawing to win dinner for two at the H H Bar & Grill or La Familia. Mon., April 14: "We're really just standing by "The Truth about Sexual Assault: What is Happening Now on College Campuses," a sexual violence panel that will feature two sexual assault survivors as well as people from KU Public Safety and Watkins Memorial Health Center. Students will watch and discuss an episode of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" about alcohol and the date rape drug from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Malott Room at the Kansas Union. The event will be sponsored by One In Four. Tues., April 15: EmPOWER Self-Defense Workshop from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. The course is free female KU students and $5 for all other women. Hy-Vee will also provide bottled water. Mon., April 28: and watching, when we really need to be getting in there and helping out in the ways that we can," Shaffie said. Shaffie said the group would give pins to people who signed pledges declaring that they would never commit, condone or remain silent about violence to women. Oliver said she wanted students to attend the events because she wanted to get rid of the myths on campus about sexual assault and to educate students on what to do if a friend was sexually assaulted. She also said alcohol was part of the reason sexual assaults go unreported and that needed to change, as well. "It doesn't matter how much you drink, that doesn't mean that someone can sexually assault you," Oliver said. Edited by Matt Hirschfeld BUSINESS Microsoft sets time limit for Yahoo to accept offer SEATTLE — Microsoft set the clock ticking for Yahoo to accept its $41 billion buyout offer in a letter to the Internet pioneer's board Saturday, warning that if a deal wasn't reached by April 26 the software maker would launch a hostile takeover at a less attractive price. "If we have not concluded an agreement within the next three weeks, we will be compelled to take our case directly to your shareholders, including the initiation of a proxy contest to elect an alternative slate of directors for the Yahoo board," wrote Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer. "If we are forced to take an offer directly to your shareholders, that action will have an undesirable impact on the value of your company from our perspective which will be reflected in the terms of our proposal," he wrote. In the letter, Ballmer said Yahoo's search share and page views, two measures of the strength of the Web portal company's business, appear to have fallen since the offer was made at the end of January. At the time, Microsoft's cash-and-stock offer was valued at $44.6 billion. or 62 percent above Yahoo's market value. Judging by Friday's closing share prices, the deal is now worth just less than $41 billion. Yahoo's board formally rejected Microsoft Corp's bid in February, saying it undervalues the company. Since then, the Silicon Valley company has explored alliances with Google Inc., News Corp.'s MySpace. com and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, but no alternative to Microsoft's offer has surfaced. Ballmer acknowledged the alternative negotiations and questioned why, in the absence of another offer, Yahoo was still dragging its heels. "This is despite the fact that "We believe that the majority of your shareholders share this assessment," despite a forecast recently released by Yahoo that calls for the company's revenue to rise more than 70 percent during the next three years, he wrote. our proposal is the only alternative put forward that offers your shareholders full and fair value for their shares," Ballmer wrote in the letter. Ballmer said the Microsoft offer has grown stronger as the economic climate has weakened. Associated Press INVESTIGATION First Baptist Church ASSOCIATED PRESS Officers stand at the entrance to the El Dorado Civic Center Friday in El Dorado, Texas, after children were removed in the buses in the background from a nearby polygamist retreat. Child welfare officials and state troopers removed a bus load of children from the secretive West Texas religious retreat built by polygamist leader Warren Jeffs following a complaint to state authorities. Officers conduct raid on polygamist retreat BY MICHELLE ROBERTS ASSOCIATED PRESS ELDORADO, Texas Authorities who removed 219 women and children from a polygamist compound were struggling Sunday to determine whether they had the 16-year-old girl whose report of an underage marriage led them to raid the sprawling rural property. Many people at the compound, built by followers of jailed polygamist leader Warren Jeffs, are related to one another and share similar names; investigators said in some case they were giving different names at different times. Investigators on Sunday bused them out of Eldorado, nearly 200 miles northwest of San Antonio, as other law enforcement agents continued to search for more children and evidence at the 1,700-acre compound, the former site of an exotic game ranch. State troopers armed with a search warrant raided the compound on Friday to look for evidence of a marriage between the girl, who allegedly had a baby at 15, and a 50-year-old man. Under Texas law, girls younger than 16 cannot marry, even with parental approval. The women and children were taken out of the compound Friday and Saturday and had been staying in a local church and civic center. By midday Sunday, dozens of women and children, mostly girls, were seen boarding buses on their way to San Angelo, a larger town 45 miles away. The women wore long pastel dresses and many carried bedding; several had infants. Officers entered the temple on the grounds late Saturday, but by Sunday they still had not located the 16-year-old whose initial report of abuse led to the raid. "There were some tense moments last night, but everything has remained calm and peaceful and they are continuing their search," Allison Palmer, a prosecutor from a nearby county handling the case, said early Sunday.

APRIL 7,2008 COMMENTARY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN What's the point of going to college? Recent high school graduates intimidated into higher education ANNIE SIMMERMON College. Once in, it envelopes you completely. You work, you go to school, you study, you party, and then you study some more. But for what? I thought the answer was easy. You come to college to learn. But has society corrupted the real principle and replaced it with an idea of conformity and social acceptance? Now if you don't go to college, it is assumed that you won't succeed. Sometimes it feels like youth are being intimidated into higher education. A widely used credo around this University is "It's not what you know, it's who you know." There are holes in the system. Just because you went to college doesn't mean you're smart. If we have this mentality, why even go to college? If your education isn't going to mean anything, what's the point? I know a lot of kids who pissed away their education doing just enough not to fail and getting wasted every night. My head starts to spin as I point my clicker up at the giant overhead, and I wonder if sitting in a lecture of 500 people and jotting down notes is really learning. Learning is not about blindly accepting what is up on the board. It's about asking questions and challenging these supposed truths. How much of college is about actually learning, and how much of it is about getting the "A"? We have been graded and evaluated our whole lives, from the time we could form sentences until laying out career goals. If it's just about the grade, that's academic conformity. Do what the professors say, and they'll give you a good grade. That's really worth your money. I used to say I wanted to be a roller coaster tester when I grew up. It was a fake job, but I just said it so people would stop asking the question. After four years at this University, I still don't know if it was worth it. I question my education every day. I worry that I won't succeed. I want to feel like my time an money were worthwhile and that I was not just a sheep coming here. I thought college was supposed to give me that reassurance, I have gained a lot of knowledge, but I still don't feel like an intellectual. I'll make it my own way. If I struggle, then so be it. Simmermon is a Leawood senior in journalism. COMMENTARY Bar owners call the shots on ladies night promotions The idea discussed in the April 3 column "Possible violation of the Civil Rights Act?" about bars using the promotional play of a "ladies night" is discrimination and a violation of the Civil Rights Act is simply absurd. When I walk into Wescow, and I see a woman behind me, I gladly open the door for her. She replies, "Thank you," and I return with, "No problem." Do I cry discrimination because she did not try to open it for me? No, because there are certain things that are polite to do. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was designed to ensure equal treatment of people in public businesses no matter the race, religion or gender. A bar having a ladies night does not prevent anyone from entering an establishment and ordering a drink and having a good time. There is no discrimination involved. This practice is no different from giving senior discounts or kids-eatfree promotions. Is this is a form of ageism? No, it's just a nice thing to do. Some men complain about how they are "discriminated" against because they have to pay to go to a bar. Using this word to describe their situation is a slap in the face to people who have faced real discrimination. Instead, don't go to an establishment if you don't agree with its policies. If a bar doesn't allow people to wear gang colors and you want to rep your hood, go somewhere else. If there is a ladies night and you don't agree with that, go somewhere else. Don't throw around the "d-word" where it isn't needed. Would any ladies at the bar care to enjoy a Captain and Coke with me?

Supporting the troops despite political qualms COMMENTARY Tyler Doehring SINCE 1974 The seven core Army values were being barked out by my brother and his fellow graduates. I hardly listened to them but one caught my attention: selfless-service. I was expecting the graduation ceremony to have an apparent "support your country" atmosphere, but I could sense it was an effective and personal experience for the graduates and the attendees. The graduates believe in these seven values that their officers drilled into them the past 10 weeks, but I started to have my doubts concerning the selfless-service value as the ceremony proceeded. My brother enlisted because he did not know what direction to take in his life. He dropped out of college, worked odd jobs for about a year and, on a whim, drove to the recruiting office in Kansas City and signed up. He saw no way out of his drifting state and the Army was his light at the end of the tunnel. Three reasons why young people join the Army cycled through my head as I talked with my brother about his experience: aimlessness, benefits and patriotism. But many other options were That's reason enough for me to put aside my patriotic reservations aside and give my brother a reassuring pat on the back. present in his life that could have influenced him in another direction. Re-enrolling in school, learning a trade or moving to a more productive environment (i.e. out of Dad's house) could have pointed him in the right path. He saw it as the Army's job to discipline him and set him on the straight and narrow. It must have been those "Strength for now, strength for later" ads that got him. Hirschfeld is a Augusta junior in journalism. Education benefits should not be the primary reason to enlist. College is expensive, but scholarships, grants and jobs have helped lighten this burden that students' suffer. 1 could not fathom taking any amount of years of personal freedom just to avoid debt. A reason for joining that my brother seldom brought up was the benefits the Army offered, with tuition reimbursement having the most effect on young people. Four Senators are pushing a revised GI Bill that would make getting educated (or re-educated) even easier and more beneficial for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who have served two years of post-9/11 active duty. It would include veterans receiving payments covering charges of their program and a monthly stipend of $1,000 for housing and books. It would also increase the time veterans have to use these benefits to 15 years from 10 years. ing his graduation, though, I could tell this reasoning was thoroughly instilled in his mind. My brother did not address seeing the Army as a duty to his country before enlisting. After attend- This reason is brought up most frequently when outsiders discuss why young people join the service, but I doubt this is at the top of the recruits' reasons for enlisting. Protecting one's country is the most selfless reason I can think of and should be No. 1 on every enlistee's list. My brother was the same person after boot camp. Just a more matured, refined version of the guy I've known for 20 years. His 10-week "version of hell," as he called it, gave him direction and he's a more focused individual. The Army gave him a career path, and he's finally taking a hold of his life. In all reality, though, with the Iraq war and the rising cost of, well, everything, I can't blame them for not considering the protection of the U.S. as their primary reason. The American culture lives for the idea of individualism, so using the Army to alleviate aimlessness or receive benefits is pretty aligned with the culture most of the recruits were raised in. editorials around the world Zimbabwe elections show turning point The silence from the ruling party in Zimbabwe could mean one of two things. It might mean that a massive rigging operation is taking place at the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission... to turn around what looks like a resounding electoral defeat for President Robert Mugabe and make it look like he has just scraped past the 51 percent of the vote needed to avoid a second round of voting, and give his party a majority in parliament. Or it might be that the ruling elite is engaged in a frantic process of negotiation over who will tell the ageing despair that the time has come when he really does have to step down. We can be hopeful it is the latter. DC 20 MARCH 2008 PRESENT MURGIN TSVANGIA Mr. Mugabe has fiddled the result in at least two previous The Movement for Democratic Change claims its leader Morgan Tsvangirai won the March 29 presidential ballot outright, said it would not accept a recount, did not want a runoff and pressed ahead with attempts to force the publication of the results. elections, in 2002 and 2005. But things are different this time. The Mugabe regime can stay in power only with a heavy show of force from the army and police, whose chiefs were, as recently as Sunday evening, publicly declaring that they would not allow a victory by (opposition leader Morgan) Tsvangarai. The leader of neighboring African countries must now make clear that the will of the Zimbabwean people must be upheld. The opposition must not be persuaded to go to the courts, a strategy they tried last time without success. Nor is there now a case of international mediation of the kind that Kofi Annan conducted in Kenya, where so many ballot boxes were destroyed that it was impossible to know the outcome of the poll. The vote in Zimbabwe has already been recorded locally. For one thing is clear, whatever happens in the days ahead, things can never go back to how they were a week ago.

An Assyrian Orthodox priest was shot to death on Saturday by gunmen using silencers as the Christian cleric and his wife returned home after a trip to the market in Baghdad. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Suspected Shiite militants lobbed rockets and mortar shells into the U.S.-protected Green Zone and a military base elsewhere in Baghdad on Sunday, killing three American troops and wounding 31, officials said. The attacks occurred as U.S. and Iraqi forces battled Shiite militants in Sadr City in some of the fiercest fighting since radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered a ceasefire a week ago. At least 16 Iraqi civilians were killed and nearly 100 wounded in the fighting, according to hospital officials. A military official said two U.S. troops died and 17 were wounded in the attack on the Green Zone, which houses the U.S. Embassy and the Iraqi government headquarters in central Baghdad. Another American service member was killed and 14 were wounded in the attack on a base in the southeastern Baghdad area of Rustamiyah, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information. The U.S. military said separately that an American soldier was killed Sunday in a roadside bombing in the volatile Diyala province north of Baghdad. A U.S. soldier assigned to the division operating south of the capital also died Sunday from noncombat related injuries, according to a statement. A senior U.S. military official, also declining to be identified for the same reason, said the rockets were fired at the Green Zone from Sadr City, while the mortar shells came from another predominantly Shiite neighborhood in eastern Baghdad.

American helicopters also fired Hellfire missiles that destroyed a vehicle and killed nine militants who were attacking Iraqi security forces with rocket-propelled grenades in the area, the military said in a statement. The inability of the Iraqi security forces to curb the militias has cast doubt on their ability to take over their own security two days before the top American officials in Iraq — Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker — are to brief Congress on the prospects for further reductions in the U.S. troop presence in Iraq. occurred despite a strong push by the U.S. military to prevent militants from using suspected launching sites on the southern edge of Sadr City, the Baghdad stronghold of the Mahdi Army of anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Fierce fighting erupted in Sadr City earlier Sunday after Iraqi troops backed by U.S. soldiers and attack helicopters tried to advance deeper into the enclave of some 2.5 million people. The surge in violence came as tensions rose in Shiite areas despite al-Sadr's cease-fire order issued March 30 that eased nearly a week of clashes in Baghdad, Basra and other cities in the Shiite south. The cleric stopped short of asking his fighters to surrender their weapons and sporadic clashes have continued. Al-Sadr has called for a "million-strong" anti-U.S. demonstration on Wednesday in Baghdad to protest the fifth anniversary of the capture of the Iraqi capital by invading U.S. troops. At the edge of Sadr City, Lt. Col. Dan Barnett, the commander of the 1st Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, said Iraqi forces had come under sustained fire overnight after establishing checkpoints deeper into the Shiite district. "They're working to establish control," he said, speaking to a small group of reporters as heavy gunfire resounded outside a joint U.S.-Iraqi base. Mortar shells also fell on a popular commercial area in the Jamila neighborhood, setting a fire that burned some 100 shops, according to the Baghdad military command. It said fire fighters came under heavy gunfire that slowed their efforts to extinguish the flames. A local fire official, who declined "Our situation is miserable. We lack food, water and electricity.The government should do something to end our suffering." HUSSEIN KHAZIM Taxi driver who seemed to be identified because he wasn't supposed to discuss the issue, said the mortars had been aimed at a U.S.-occupied police station but fell short. That report could not be independently verified. Last week, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, himself a Shiite, ordered a nationwide freeze on Iraqi raids against Shiite militants, bowing to demands by al-Sadr who had hinted at retaliation if Iraqi security forces continue to arrest his followers. U. S. commanders said they will fight back to maintain control of a swath of territory on the southern edge of Sadr City that has been used as a launching site for rockets aimed at the Green Zone, which has come under steady fire since the current tensions began. "Where we have criminal elements that are threatening the security and peace of the people of Iraq, we take action," said Maj. Gen. Jeffery Hammond, the top commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad. The Iraqi government has relaxed security measures Saturday around the Mahdi Army strongholds of Sadr City and the Shula neighborhood, allowing trucks carrying maintenance teams, food, oil products and ambulances into the areas that still face a vehicle ban despite the lifting of a citywide curfew. "Our situation is miserable. We lack food, water and electricity. This morning I saw two men being shot by a sniper as they were trying to cross the street near my house. The government should do something to end our suffering," said Hussein Khazim, a taxi driver who has been out of work since the turmoil erupted in late March. But residents continued to complain of hardships. Separately, the U.S. military said the largest cache of armor-piercing roadside bombs known as explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, had been found by Iraqi troops acting on a tip south of Baghdad.

Full details of the Airline Quality Rating report, which measures how well the airlines minimize the hassles of flying, will be released Monday. "They went down in all criteria. Every one of them," study co-author Brent Bowen said Friday about the airline industry average. Bowen wouldn't discuss many details of the report before its release. But he said low-cost airlines performed better than national airlines, and the top three airlines in 2007 were all low-cost carriers. Only one national airline improved its overall quality rating, said Bowen, who is a professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha's Aviation Institute. The report's ratings are based on how many delays the airlines have, how often passengers are bumped off flights, how often bags are lost and how many complaints airlines receive. rights recently to address safety concerns about some of their aircraft. 2007 transportation department data. But the Airline Quality Rating report will include data on the nation's 16 largest airlines. Those recent problems won't be included in the quality report because it deals with Bowen said he and the report's co-author, Wichita State University associate professor Dean Headley, plan to expand their scrutiny of the airline industry with new quarterly updates that will supplement the annual reports. to conduct. Consumers who register at the Airline Quality Rating Web site, www. aqr.aero, will have a chance to weigh in on airline performance on a regular basis. The quarterly updates will also include responses from consumer surveys Bowen and Headley plan It has been compiled annually since 1991, but Bowen said the available data changed in 2000 so the latest findings can't be compared with airline performance in the 1990s. The research is sponsored by the Aviation Institute at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Wichita State University. The report's ratings are based on how many delays the airlines have, how often passengers are bumped off flights, how often bags are lost and how many complaints airlines receive. Bowen said he hopes the airlines will use the new quarterly surveys to improve their performance, similar to the way they have responded to the annual quality report in the past. "We're doing it for the benefit of the traveling public," he said. The full Airline Quality Ratings will be released Monday at a Washington D.C. news conference. The quality report will only add to a string of bad news for the airlines, which have been hurt by a slowing economy, high fuel prices and maintenance concerns.

"The question last night was would we be able to run against North Carolina," ans said. "It should have been the other way around." BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — Monday night is finally here. The players dream about it from the time they started shooting in driveways and parks as children. The coaches went through menial assistant jobs where they had to sleep on cots and reserve bowling lanes all so they could get this opportunity Kansas, Memphis for the national championship. "This" Russell Robinson said, "is what you live for" Kansas will find out if it can continue to bring back memories of 1988 by winning its first national championship since then and third of all time for the program. To make history, the Jayhawks will have to run past another fast team and not tighten up in the biggest game of their lives. It's not going to be easy. Memphis has plenty of stars and not just the ones shaved in the back of Doneal Mack's head. There's Chris Douglas-Roberts, Derrick Rose, Joey Dorsey and a bunch of other long, athletic bodies. Sound like a familiar story line? With that collection of athletes, the Tigers are expected to run. Memphis' Rose and Douglas-Roberts, both All-Americans, have been garnering most of the attention while the Jayhawks receive less acclaim for their transition offense. The Tar Heels were supposed to have the advantage Saturday night in a fast-paced game. Kansas ran them out of the building in the opening minutes. "The question last night was would we be able to run against North Carolina," Sherron Collins said. "It should have been the other way around." Maybe Collins is right. No team has defeated Kansas in a fast-paced game this season. Kansas' three losses have come for other reasons. Kansas State fed off its savage crowd and hardly missed an open look. Oklahoma State slowed the game down. Texas got the best of the Jayhawks in Austin when they limited Kansas' possession and hit the glass in the second half. When teams have run, they've failed. Baylor scored 90 points but couldn't outdo the Jayhawks in an up-tempo game. Texas kept up for a half in the Big 12 Championship game before succumbing to fatigue late. Memphis, though, rolled Texas in the Elite Eight. The Tigers are fast, and Douglas-Roberts, Rose and Dorsey's attitude makes them one of the brashest groups on the court. Kansas still remains unfazed. "We've got swagger," Collins said. "We ain't cocky with it. We'll be ready. We're running, and we'll be out there ready to play" That quiet confidence has kept the Jayhawks loose for most of their postseason run. Several players said they got off to their fast start against North Carolina because they were relaxed. Darnell jackson doesn't expect that attitude to change tonight even though they're going to face their toughest challenge of the season. To keep that mind-set, the team has been huddling up before the last few games and spreading the same message. "We just say 'let your nuts hang,'" Jackson said. "Just let them hang. Just have fun because this is it for most of the guys, and we're just having fun with it." Never will the Jayhawks need to relax more than tonight. They've been waiting for this game since the beginning of the season, since they arrived at Kansas. They can't get too scared or too tight or allow Memphis to run past them. They'll remember this game forever and want to make it a good memory. "This is probably the game I'm going to show my kids for the rest of my life," Robinson said. Edited by Katherine Loeck CHAMPIONSHIP Fast-paced offenses vie for national title BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — Call it a premonition, call it a hunch, call it whatever you want. Christopher Douglas and Judy Roberts just had a feel Roberts just had a feeling about their baby boy Christopher. M. So Judy Roberts wasn't about to let her son go through life without a little Roberts in his name, and Christopher Sr. had the same affinity for Douglas. Thus Douglas-Roberts Chris Douglas-Roberts was born. "I guess my parents thought I was going to be something big." Douglas-Roberts said on the eve of the biggest basketball game of his life. Memphis' lanky star certainly has proved his parents correct during the NCAA tournament. Alongside freshman guard Derrick Rose, Douglas-Roberts - you can call him CDR - has led Memphis to the brink of a national championship. "We've peaked," Douglas-Roberts said. "We've sort of found each other in this tournament." - which coach Calipari adopted from a high school coach - stresses penetration and utilizes Memphis' vast collection of athletes. Using an innovative free-flowing offense known as the dribble-drive motion, Memphis has played almost flawless basketball in its last three games. The offense "They feel unleashed," Calipari said. The Tigers have looked unleashed in their last three games, outscoring Michigan State, Texas and UCLA by a combined 51 points on their way to tonight's title match. "They've got two guys who can score whenever they want to," Kansas junior guard Brandon Rush said about the combo of Rose and Douglas-Roberts. Kansas' Bill Self knows all about the explosive scoring exploits of Rose and Douglas-Roberts. He recruited them both and whiffed each time. When Douglas-Roberts was a junior at Cass Technical High School in Detroit, Self and assistant coach Danny Manning journeyed to the Motor City and gave Douglas-Roberts the Kansas basketball sales pitch. "Obviously, he wasn't that impressed." Self said. Douglas Roberts said he liked Self's genuine personality, but in the end, he felt more comfortable at Memphis. CDR needed a program that liked to run, played fast and could utilize his unique skill set. Using his gangly 6-foot-7 frame to penetrate, Douglas-Roberts likes to twist his body into the lane to hoist up runners from extreme angles. How one describes that skill set is up to you. It seems everybody has their own way of describing it. And with an 18.0 points per game average during the regular season, and 28 points in Memphis' Final Four victory against UCLA, Calipari is an advocate of Douglas-Roberts' old-school style. Rose said it was, "old man moves." Rush called it awkward. "You just don't know how to guard it," he said. Rose, a freshman point guard, is scoring 21.7 points a game and dishing out more than five assists per game in the NCAA tournament. "When his motor's running it's ridiculous," Calipari said. "He's the most complete point guard I've played against all year," Kansas senior guard Russell Robinson said of Rose, who missed After Memphis' 78-63 victory against UCLA in the early game on Saturday, Douglas-Roberts and the rest of the Tigers settled into play the role of concerned spectators during the Kansas-North Carolina game. Sunday's media session because of stomach problems. "He can make plays, he can shoot it, he can drive it, he can score it." "I feel people judge us and don't really know us." Douglas-Roberts said. CDR said the chip on the Tigers' shoulders comes from something deeper than basketball. Douglas-Roberts saw Kansas' athletic guards, its up-tempo style and couldn't help but think of his own team. People look at their tattoos and their ghetto backgrounds and automatically label the Tigers, Douglas-Roberts said. "I see that chip on their shoulder" Douglas-Roberts said, "cause we have that." CDR has five tattoos himself, including one of a Psalms bible verse. Now Memphis, led by Douglas-Roberts and Rose, are matched up with Kansas; a team Memphis senior Joey Dorsey said looked like a mirror image of his squad. "I tap it three times before I shoot a free throw," he said. Douglas-Roberts sat confidently on Sunday during Memphis' media session, 30 hours from the biggest game of his life. Both the Douglas and Roberts were spelled out on the name placard that sat in front of him, each receiving equal billing. After Memphis and Kansas both notched double-digit victories on Saturday, a reporter was curious: are Memphis and Kansas just that much better than everyone else? "That what it looks like," Douglas-Roberts said.

He said he didn't feel the pain right away. "Right when I turned over, the pain just hit me all at once," he said. Stewart's injury will require surgery once he returns to Lawrence. In some ways, Stewart's ghastly knee injury was reminiscent of 1988, when starter Archie Marshall was lost for the season with a knee injury. Marshall still suited up for the championship game against Oklahoma and was a source of inspiration for the 1988 champs. Stewart said he thought the team rallied around his situation as well.

Edited by Daniel Reyes MEN'S BASKETBALL EMA SOU Rush not regretting return Junior guard Brandon Rush answers questions during an afternoon conference at the Alamodome. Rush scored 25 points in the Final Four game against North Carolina. BY MARK DENT ndent@kansan.com Jon Goering/KANSAN SAN ANTONIO — After he ended any chances of a North Carolina comeback by scoring eight points down the stretch and completed yet another one of his great games this season, Brandon Rush looked into the Alamodome crowd to find his mom and grandma. He smiled. Rush couldn't ask for anything better. He's one victory away from a national championship and playing the best ball of his career. It's not where the junior guard envisioned being after declaring for the NBA Draft last season, but he's happy where he's at. "It definitely means the world to me," Rush said about this opportunity. Those unexpected events brought Rush back to Kansas for his junior year. Instead of experiencing his first pro training camp in Everyone's heard the Rush injury story by now. A dunk went horribly wrong last June. A knee popped. A NBA career had to be put on hold. "You could just tell how bad he was feeling," senior forward Darnell jackson he fall, he was rehabbing his knee for hours with Kansas' training staff, sometimes four times a day. It could get tough at times. had just gotten better. The same could be said for Rush. Before the season started, Self talked about how his player had to become a "new Brandon." He wanted Rush to rely less on his athletic ability and more on technique and fundamentals. After struggling for much of the season to regain his athleticism, everything's started right for "One time, I could remember watching him. He was in tears, just pushing, pushing, pushing." DARNELL JACKSON Senior forward said. "One time, I could remember watching him. He was in tears, just pushing, pushing, pushing." Rush in the postseason. He scored 28 points against Texas A&M and 19 against Texas in the Big 12 Tournament and was named player of the tournament. His run has continued in As much as it hurt Rush, Kansas coach Bill Self knew Rush's injury was a positive for the Jayhawks. Once Rush announced he was returning to school, Self called a meeting and told the them they the NCAA Tournament. Rush is averaging about 16 points a game. "His play has evolved this year in large part due to his health," Self said, "because he's gone from 80 percent to 90 percent to 95 percent, and now he's as close to whole as he's been. We're very proud of that, and the timing couldn't have been better." Rush's improved game was on full display against the Tar Heels. He scored 25 points despite missing five of his seven three-pointers. Instead of continuing to shoot from the outside, Rush changed his approach. He finally drove to the basket more often and finished consistently. "It's big for me," Rush said, "but it's definitely big for us. In order for us to win, somebody's going to have to step up and make plays." He'll get another opportunity to be the man for Kansas tonight. If the Jayhawks get the victory, Rush could easily be named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. He's also likely elevated himself into at least the last first round of this season's NBA Draft because of his postseason. Rush may not have originally wanted to play for the Jayhawks this season, but sometimes things turn out differently for the better. "Being here has been one of my main goals," Rush said. "This could be the perfect ending to a good story." Edited by Matt Hirschfeld Tired of burgers? Try something fresh, hot and delicious! Breakfast burritos or breakfast biscuits, Monday-Saturday.

Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer in the ninth and Stephen Drew went deep in Arizona's three-run 10th inning, leading the Diamondbacks to a 5-2 win over Colorado on Sunday. The Rockies received their glittering NL championship rings before the series finale but Arizona completed a three-game sweep that delivered a message after the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks in last year's NLCS. "This sets the tone for the year, just coming here and winning three games at their place, especially after what they did to us last year," Reynolds said. Reynolds two-run drive put Arizona ahead 2-1. The Diamondbacks actually enjoyed all the video tributes, even if they were prominently displayed in the clips. And to think he was going to bunt. After Conor Jackson started the ninth with a single, Reynolds contemplated laying one down, but hit away and knocked his second homer of the year off Manny Corpas. "It was fun to watch." Orlando Hudson said. "We're happy for them. They're a damn good team. They play great." "It felt good to hit that ball," Reynolds said. "I put a good swing on it." Associated Press FEELING...

Those four ingredients came together this weekend to create every college basketball enthusiast's dream — the Final Four in San Antonio. Fans of Memphis, UCLA, Kansas and North Carolina flocked to San Antonio for the final three games of the college basketball season and a weekend of warm weather and extra-curricular activities. "San Antonio is a great city for the Final Four," Overland Park freshman Jeff Brown said. "There are lots of activities, and it's just fun to have all of the fans here enjoying the game." Hoops enthusiasts had more than basketball to keep them entertained along the tree-lined avenues of downtown San Antonio on Final Four weekend. Supporters of all four squads hit the River Walk entertainment district hard on Friday and Saturday night, carousing and chanting past midnight. "I went down to Rita's on the River Walk," Ryan Robertson, former Kansas guard, said. "It's the official KU bar, and just looking at the crowd, it looks like Jayhawk fans are out in full force." Friday afternoon each team held open practices at the Alamodome. Friday evening, Fall Out Boy and The Roots played at the AT&T block party in downtown San Antonio.

In addition to playing host to the Final Four, San Antonio held the National Association of Basketball Coaches Convention and the DiGiorno College All-Star Game during the weekend. Fans posed for pictures with Michigan State coach Tom Izzo and Boston College coach Al Skinner as they strolled the River Walk. There are plenty of distractions in bustling San Antonio, but basketball remains the main attraction. With their victory Saturday night against North Carolina, the Jayhawks earned a berth in Monday's national title game and earned some fans a few extra days in Texas.

On Saturday night against North Carolina, Aldrich etched his name onto the list of greatest relief performances in Kansas basketball history. Kansas' freshman center scored eight points and grabbed seven rebounds off the bench in Kansas' 84-66 victory against North Carolina, including one board that Aldrich snatched from the clutches of North Carolina All-American Tyler Hansbrough. "I wasn't gonna let go." Aldrich said. Aldrich's supporting performance may go down in Kansas lore if the Jayhawks follow up their Saturday night victory with a national title tonight against Memphis. And oddly enough, Self saw it coming. Earlier this week Self corrected a reporter who had asked how important Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun and Darrell Arthur would be in Kansas' attempt to contain Hansbrough. Don't forget about Cole, Self reminded. Self's prophec v came true. "He may have won the game for us tonight as much as anybody," Self said. No sweat. Aldrich responded with 13 first-half minutes played, six points during Kansas' fun n-gun first half, and one rebound that Aldrich couldn't help but smile about. of the Year. With 10 minutes left in the first "He may have won the game for us tonight as much as anybody." BILL SELF Kansas men's basketball coach Jackson both committing two early fouls, Self faced a coaching calamity. Send Aldrich, who averaged 8.1 minutes per game during the regular season, onto the floor to guard Hansbrough, the Tar Heels' leading scorer and the AP National Player half and Kansas leading 31-10, Aldrich sprang from the floor and ripped the ball away from a bewildered Hansbrough. Aldrich, along with help from Kaun, Jackson and Arthur, held Hansbrough to 17 points and nine rebounds, a shade below his usual averages of 23.7 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. "Ttyler usually outworks someone, but tonight, he got outworked," Rush said. "I don't think he was quite used. to going against four guys that can hold their own," Aldrich said. "We just tried to come out and put pressure on him." The Kansas frontcount also controlled the glass,shouldering a 42-33 rebound advantage against their frontcount comrades from North Carolina. "We knew we had to keep them off the glass to win the game," Aldrich said. Aldrich's 6-foot-10 frame stood tall in Kansas' victorious locker room, searching for words to describe his nation-wide coming out party. "It was a blast," Aldrich said. "This game meant a lot to a lot of people." Kansas junior walk-on Matt Kleinmann, sitting 35 feet to Aldrich's left, had his own take on Aldrich's bench performance du jour. "He played like a man tonight," Kleinmann said. 21 KANSAS 32 — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld Senior forward Darnell Jackson fights North Carolina forward Deon Thompson for a rebound.

A large contingent of students made for a loud section in the nosebleed seats, and Kansas' lopsided victory allowed for the Rock Chalk chant to reverberate through the massive dome in the final minutes. RODRICK STEWART It'll be a moment Stewart will never forget. Sidelined with a broken kneecap, Stewart sat behind the Kansas bench with his leg elevated.

WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT It's quickly becoming the anthem to Kansas' Final Four run. North Carolina had crept back in to the game after trailing 40-12, and Kansas was on its heels.

Mindv Ricketts/KANSAN notebook DON'T CARE ABOUT ROY The fans might have thought there was more at stake against North Carolina, but the team didn't. Bill Self never once brought up the fact that Kansas was playing against its former coach. "There is no jealousy, no animosity between coach Williams and myself." Self said, "at least on this end. And I have never this entire week said, 'Look, we need to do better because this would better for me with our fan base' or anything like that. It wouldn't have made any difference who was on the other bench." HANSBROUGH TO THE NBA? Well, he sure didn't look a pro Saturday night, but there's a chance that Tyler Hansbrough, a junior, could make the jump. Williams said they'd discuss the situation soon. "You know," Williams said, "I have no idea. Tyler and I talked before the season, said we'd discuss it when the season is over with. We'll probably sit down Tuesday or Wednesday and try to start making some decisions."

Callipari's Tigers will face Kansas in the championship game Monday night. SAN ANTONIO - The Jayhawks may have traveled almost 800 miles to San Antonio, but they can't seem to escape their program's past. First, the Jayhawks faced and defeated former Kansas head coach Roy Williams. Now they're up against former Jayhawk assistant coach John Calipari, head coach at Memphis. But the matchup between Kansas and Calipari doesn't trigger the same resentment among fans as Williams' appearance on the opposing bench. In fact, Calipari versus Kansas seems like a lovefest compared with the return of Roy. "Ive known 'Cal' for quite some time," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I was actually a player (at Oklahoma State) when he was starting out coaching at Kansas. He had got a job at Pitt right before I got there as a graduate assistant, so our paths never crossed as far as working, but everybody knew Cal and liked Cal." Calipari started his coaching career as a volunteer assistant coach under Kansas coach Ted Owens in 1982. The 24-year-old earned money by working as a trainer while he assisted Owens to get a foot in the door of the coaching profession. After leaving Kansas in 1985, Calipari shot through the coaching ranks. He led the University of Massachusetts to the Final Four in 1996 before taking over as the New Jersey Nets head coach later that year. After New Jersey fired Calipari, former Kansas coach Larry Brown hired Calipari as an assistant with the Philadelphia 76ers. "Larry Brown reached out to me and was saying, 'Come on down here and join me,' Calipari said. "What it did for me - it starts to bring you back." Callpari parlayed his job in Philadelphia into his current gig atop the Memotis tempo pole. Since arriving at Memphis, Calipari has won more than 75 percent of his games and captured three Conference USA titles. the Jayhawks didn't do Roy Williams any favors. Despite Calipari's warm memories of Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas will try to send him home unhappy Monday night. For the second straight game, Kansas meets a coach that helped craft its basketball history.

CORONAVIRUS MEN'S BASKETBALL BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Team, coaches all smiles after Final Four victory Jon Goerina/KANSAN "It feels good to be here," he said. NCAA.com NCAA.com NCAA.com NCAA.com NCAA.com A HECK OF A WEEK Last Sunday, he led Kansas to a victory against Davidson to make it to his first Final Four in five tries. Self followed that up with a victory against North Carolina in the semifinal against former KU coach Roy Williams. Both of those accomplishments likely earned him more favor with Kansas fans. Self wants to do more than enjoy the ride. He sat in the upper deck when the Jayhawks won in 1988 and knows how much it would mean for the program to win another one after so many close calls. Self's not overly worried about pleasing the fans, though. You can't accomplish much more than Bill Self has in the last few days. "People correlate passion and caring to pressure," he said. "To be real candid with you, I don't feel it that way. I think from a fan base, I've said this before, we have the most realistic unrealistic fans around. Not everybody can say that at a high-profile place." Kansas coach Bill Self answers questions during the team's press conference Sunday afternoon at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Self led the Hawks to the championship game in his first trip to the Final Four. Assistant coach Danny Manning was selected for the 2008 National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame class. Manning is the University's all-time leading scorer and led the Jayhawks to the national championship in 1988. MANNING INDUCTION Start at kansan.com/bracketblowout When Self thinks of Manning, he thinks of his unselfish attitude. "For a guy that's done what he's done," Self said, "he has absolutely no ego. If I'm a parent of a recruit, and they have a chance to sit down and visit with him, he can share with them so many life experiences. I don't know, they may not pick us, but what an advantage it is to have somebody that could mentor your son or your grandson in a way because he's taken every step that you can dream to take." Along with Manning, Charles Barkley, Arnie Ferrin, Billy Packer, Jim Phelan, Nolan Richardson and Dick Vitale were selected for the Hall of Fame. DON'T JUDGE "The biggest misconception has nothing to do with basketball," Douglas-Roberts said. "It's us as people. They don't really know us, and they tend to judge based on how we look, how many tattoos or whatever. They don't see the real people." Chris Douglas-Roberts and his teammates know they're getting enough respect for the basketball they play. He just doesn't think people see them in the right light off the court. ROOMIES!

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Dianne Smith/KANSAN Take that, Tar Heels! BY WHITNEY HAMILTON whamilton@kansan.com A sea of blue scattered all around Allen Fieldhouse. News crews surrounded the court and photographers took pictures of crazy fans decked out in crimson and blue garb. The mascots jumped around the court and the band played music to get the fans pumped up. Just another scene of Allen Fieldhouse during a home basketball game, right? With two minutes left before tipoff, there were no players on the court and the baskets weren't set up. Don't fret Jayhawk fans. This was not an episode of Ashton Kutcher's "Punkkd," and Kansas wasn't the laughing stock. Instead, fans came to Allen Fieldhouse to watch the Jayhawks' game against the University of North Carolina on the video board. Fans got there early and sported their Kansas spirit with Jayhawk apparel from head to toe. Fans that didn't get a chance to snatch a coveted hot spot on Massachusetts Street or grab tickets to the game in San Antonio got the experience without ever leaving campus. Russel Paulsen, Topea sophomore, said Massachusetts Street would be too packed and decided that Allen Fieldhouse was a safer bet. Getting up early to wait for the bars and restaurants around Lawrence was not an option for Monisha Bruner, Leavenworth freshman, who didn't want to get up that early for such a late game. Others believed in superstition and wouldn't want to watch the game any other way. "Kansas hasn't lost this season since I've been in the fieldhouse," Chris Pham, Hays sophomore, said. Others decided that watching the game at Allen Fieldhouse and traveling downtown after the game would be fun, such as Sam Keller, Cincinnati, Ohio freshman, who was "still going to party afterwards" to celebrate the victory. As snippets of Kansas came onto the screen, fans cheered louder and the energy was felt around the field- house. In between commercials, fans got up and cheered while waving flags and doing "the wave." Even though the Hawks were nowhere to be found in a 50-mile radius from the fieldhouse, the energy was high, and fans cheered just as if the team was on the court. "I wanted to come here to get the experience of being at the game without actually spending all that money to be there," Jacki Gariglietti, Pittsburg freshman, said. Like Gariglietti, many came for the experience and just wanted to be amongst other Jayhawk fans in a place that was special to them and their families. The Jayhawk fans kept all the traditions at the fieldhouse the same, such as joining together and singing the alma mater followed by the rock chalk chant. Even the band played upbeat songs that got fans into the game during halftime and commercial breaks. Big Jay and Baby Jay gave away T-shirts to the fans to help continue the spirit of the fieldhouse. Fans booed when UNC coach Roy Williams' face appeared on the screen, and roared and applauded when Cole Aldrich slammed the ball away from UNC's hands. The Kansas spirit could have been felt all the way in San Antonio as the crowd grew louder and realized that the Jayhawks would be going to the national championship on Monday. Although not all the fans could witness the Jayhawks defeating the Tar Heels on Saturday night in the Alamodome, the atmosphere made fans feel like they were there. Fans can experience being at the game in San Antonio without having to pay the big bucks by watching it at Allen Fieldhouse again tonight. The doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the event is open to the public. Tipoff will be approximately at 8:15 p.m. KANSAS EST. AYHAW Fans shout out in celebration during the rush on Massachusetts Street after Kansas advanced to the NCAA national championship. The Jayhawks defeated North Carolina 84-66, despite not being the favored team for the game.

Wiggins continued her electrifying run through the NCAA tournament, scoring 25 points and grabbing 13 rebounds while getting some timely help from Kayla Pederson and JJ Hones as Stanford shocked Connecticut 82-73 in Sunday night's national semifinals. Back in the Final Four for the first time in 11 years, the Cardinal (35-3) avenged an early season loss to the Huskies (36-2) and advanced to Tuesday night's title game, where they'll put a 23-game winning streak on the line against Tennessee or LSU. Wiggins, the first player to have two 40-point performances in the same NCAA tournament, finished five assists shy of the first triple-double in women's Final Four history. She didn't shoot particularly well, going 7-for-19, but made two huge 3-pointers to help Stanford pull away for good after UConn trimmed a seven-point halftime deficit to 47-46 and appeared to be taking control. Hones hit a deep 3-pointer to put Stanford up 10 with 3:20 to go, then Pederson answered a 3-pointer that drew UConn within 71-66 with a long jumper of her own to send Cardinal fans into celebration mode. Down the stretch, the Cardinal's lone senior starter got lots of help from her supporting cast. Pederson finished with 17 points, and Jayne Appel added 15. Maya Moore led UConn with 20 points on 8-for-19 shooting. UConn won an earlier meeting in November, but both teams made significant changes during the last four months of the season Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer tinkered with her team's triangle offense following the 12-point loss, which showed the Cardinal exactly what type of team it needed to become if it hoped to be able to keep pace in a rematch.

There was a swirl of activity Friday at the rap mogul's Tribecapartment. Delivery trucks funneled in and out of the building, dropping off silver candelabras and white flowers. A white tent was set up on the roof, and stars including Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, along with Gwyneth Paltrow, were spotted arriving. A swarm of media camped outside the building was in a state of frenzy. snapping and shouting at any sport-utility vehicle that drove down the cobblestone street. The Web sites of celebrity magazines People and Us Weekly reported the couple married and threw a lavish but small party at the apartment Friday, citing unnamed sources who are friends with the pair. The Web sites reported their families attended the party. Rumors circulated all week about the event after a report that the couple had taken out a marriage license in Scarsdale, N.Y. Representatives for Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z declined to comment on reports ahead of the event. Jay-Z's publicist had no comment Saturday.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month 8 --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 7, 2008 SPORTS 11B SOFTBALL Jayhawks return 1-1 from away-game series BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com The University of Kansas softball team continued its streak of six consecutive away games in Waco, Texas, during the weekend. The Jayhawks won the first game on Saturday. Freshman right fielder Liz Kocon carried the team with a grand slam in the seventh inning to earn the team a 6-1 victory against Baylor. Junior pitcher Valerie George continued her strong season, allowing eight hits but giving up only one unearned run. Junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley and junior third baseman Val Chapple also helped the team, both having two hits and a RBI in the game. Coach Tracy Bunge said Kocon's performance was huge in the first game. She said the Baylor hitters had been challenging George all day, and the extra run support from Kocon's grand slam was a big boost. "The difference mentally in going into the bottom of the seventh with a one-run lead versus a five-run lead is huge." Bunge said. The second game did not turn out so well for the team. It managed only four hits and one run, while Baylor exploded with six runs in the fourth inning to lead the Bears to a 8-1 victory. Baylor's senior first baseman Jordan Daniels lifted the team with three hits and four RBI in the game. Kansas' sophomore first baseman Amanda Jobe drove in the only run for the Jayhawks. Bunge said the team gave Baylor too many chances, especially in the fourth inning. "They got some clutch hits, they got some big hits that inning, and we didn't shut the door." Bunge said. Bunge said the team needed to focus on playing a complete series, and that would be something they'd definitely have to focus on heading to Arkansas. "We have to play 14 innings," Bunge said. The Jayhawks move to 29-10 on the season and 3-3 in conference play. The Jayhawks play in Fayetteville, Ark.. on Thursday. "We can't assume that they're going to give us anything." Bunge said. "We have to go out, and we just have to play really tough, intense softball." MLB — Edited by Katherine Loeck T ASSOCIATED PRESS Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Boof Bonser delivers against the Kansas City Royals during the first inning of a baseball game Sunday in Minneapolis. Royals won 3-1. Royals defeat Twins; best start since 2004 ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — The Kansas City Royals got off to a fast start, even with a first week on the road against AL Central rivals. Brett Tomko pitched five shutout innings, Alex Gordon hit a two-run single that put Kansas City ahead in the second inning, and the Royals defeated the Minnesota Twins 3-1 Sunday. Kansas City finished its opening trip to Detroit and Minnesota 4-2, its best start since 2004. The Royals had only three winning trips last season, none until a 6-4 swing to the Chicago White Sox, Oakland and Colorado from May 11-20. "If you would've told us wed be 4-2 after starting at Detroit and Minnesota, we probably would've taken it," catcher John Buck said. New manager Trey Hillman's bullpen received much of the credit after Sunday's game. Royals relievers have allowed two runs in 17 innings thus far. Minnesota, which added Delmon Young, Mike Lamb and Brendan Harris, has scored more than four runs only once and has hit into 11 double plays. "The bullpen's been great," Tomko said. "To come in and just give up a run in four innings, I'm sure Trey will take that any day of the week. Shoot, to have a good bullpen as a starter, to go five or six innings and you know those guys are going to come in there and shut the other team down, it makes our job a lot easier." "We have to score more runs," infielder Matt Tolbert said. "We're playing hard, having good at-bats. It's just we have to score more than one run to win." Making his first start of the season, Tomko (1-0) allowed six hits, struck out three and walked one. He began last year with six scoreless innings of one-hit ball for Los Angeles against Colorado, but finished a combined 4-12 for the Dodgers and San Diego Padres. "You just don't want to give in and have a big inning happen, so I just kept trying to battle guys," Tomko said. Joakim Soria struck out the side in order in the ninth for his third save, capping four innings of two-hit relief that included stints by Ron Mahay, Leo Nunez and Jimmy Gobble. Minnesota's only run came in the sixth when Justin Morneau homered for the second straight game. 》BASEBALL Pitching falters; losses continue BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com Sitting at the bottom of the Big 12 standings and facing a slumping Baylor squad, this weekend was supposed to be Kansas' opportunity to maneuver its way up the conference standings. However, the Jayhawks' series with the Bears proved to be the exact opposite. With a 17-7, seven-inning victory on Sunday, Baylor (19-11, 6-6) finally looked like the nationally ranked team it was at the beginning of the season, completing its weekend sweep of Kansas (19-16, 1-8). The loss marked the Jayhawks' sixth in a row in Big 12 play and dropped coach Ritch Price's club to last in the conference. — if we won one of the first two — to win the series," said Price, whose team was outscored 33-16 by Baylor. "We caught them at a time when they're peaking. They're the best team we've played so far all year." "We went on the road, and our goal was to win a game and After losing the first two games of the series, Kansas' only hope was to salvage the series finale yesterday. But the Bears extinguished all hope early on. Facing Kansas junior left-hander Sam Freeman (4-1), Baylor put up seven runs before Freeman was removed after recording just four outs. For the second straight Sunday, Freeman failed to reach the third inning. In the process, his ERA continued its ascent from 6.75 to 8.59. "By putting him in the bullpen, it gives coach (Ryan) Graves more time to work with him and see if we can improve his mechanics and get him back in the strike zone a little bit better," Price said. Freeman has been struggling with his mechanics as of late and, after Sunday's performance, he will likely move to the bullpen and be replaced in the weekend rotation by freshman right-hander T.J. Walz. But Freeman isn't the only starter who's struggled for Kansas as of late. For the weekend, Kansas got a total of 9.2 innings out of its starters, who were pounded for 15 runs. However, junior left-hander Nick Czyz pitched 4.1 of those innings and allowed just one of those runs Friday. Conversely, Baylor got 18.2 innings out of its starters, who gave up 11 runs. Sunday, right-hander Willie Kempf (5-1) allowed three runs over 5.1 innings en route to victory. Walz entered in the second inning for the Jayhawks, but couldn't close the floodgates the Bears had opened up. Walz surrendered two runs before escaping the second and two more runs in the third before throwing a scoreless fourth inning — the only inning in which Baylor didn't score. However, in the fifth, Walz allowed the first two batters to reach, prompting Price to throw up the white flag and bringing in senior right-hander Matt Lane. NSAS 26 Two batters into Lane's appearance, Baylor shortstop Beamer Weems teed off for his fourth home run of the season to give the Bears a 13-2 lead. With the game all but over, both coaches began to clear their benches to give their substitutes some playing time. Freshman shortstop Zach Thoma throws to first base for an out. After Sunday's 17-7 loss to Baylor, Kansas sits at 19-16. Weston White/KANSAN Kansas' offensive highlights centered around senior shortstop Erik Morrison. With one on, two out and a 3-0 count in the top of the fourth. Morrison had the green light, sending his third home run of the season to left field and putting the Jayhawks on the board. Morrison had been 0-for-6 in the series entering that at bat. The one-man wrecking crew wasn't finished, though. Morrison capped off a four-run inning in the seventh with his second home run of the afternoon. The home run brought the Jayhawks within 10 but, with the run rule in effect, it wasn't enough to prolong the game. "Erik had a really tough weekend until today," Price said. "I actually gave him the green light on 3-0 on the first home run he hit, trying to get him started. He raided that one out of the stadium and hit the second one good. He's a streaky hitter, so hopefully that'll get him started."

MEMPHIS 8:21 p.m., Alamodome, San Antonio, CBS AT A GLANCE Kansas (36-3) So here we are. Kansas is playing in its second National Championship game since 2003. In 2003, Syracuse's once-in-a-lifetime freshman talent, Carmelo Anthony, ended Kansas' dream, Kansas' opponent, Memphis, has another freshman, Derrick Rose, who might fit that once-in-a-lifetime label. But when a team makes it this far, it's all about what they do. Kansas has made a living the past two seasons winning big games, and games don't get any bigger than this. This game is about a lot of things. It's about exorcizing 20 years of NCAA tournament demons. It's about sending Kansas' senior class off right. It's about Bill Self taking his place among the coaching elite. Mostly though, it's about Kansas cutting down the nets for the first time since 1988. WHO TO WATCH Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard Say what you want about Brandon Rush or Mario Chalmer or Darrell Arthur. You'd have a point with any of those guys. But Kansas' Chicago sparkplug is always the ultimate X-factor. If Collins is healthy and making plays, then Kansas is tough to beat. Collins had 11 points against North Carolina and looked to be his old explosive self. You have Collins to wonder if Memphis knows how good Collins can be. Lastly, all the talk on Memphis has included non-stop hype about freshman Derrick Rose, another Chicago native. Will Kansas be fatigued? QUESTION MARK The Jayhawks exerted maximum energy in an emotional game on Saturday night against North Carolina. Memphis wants to play fast, and so does Kansas. But will the Jayhawks have enough energy to run with the Tigers for 40 minutes. Senior forwards Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson should be rested after playing a combined 27 minutes on Saturday. "We have prepared for this all season long and this has been one of our goals. Now here we are just one game away from that accomplishment. We are just living in the moment and want to go out and play the way we know how." HEARYE, HEARYE DONALD J. BROWN THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 -Russell Robinson Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Roy Williams called him the best seven point per game scorer in the country. He KU's leader, and he wants this game as much as anyone. ★★★★ Memphis (38-1) P. Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard Chalmers' play tailed off a little bit after the game's opening minutes on Saturday. He'll need to keep his intensity up the whole game if he is going to guard the sensational Derrick Rose. ★★★★ Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard PETER TAYLOR Rush did everything right against the Tar Heels. He was not feeling it from the outside, so he attacked the basket. The CDR, Rush matchup should be a classic. These guys are both spectacular athletes and will both likely be first round NBA picks in two months. 10 ★★★★★ Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward S. S. M. Jackson has a big enough frame to bang with Memphis' Joey Dorsey. These big men should go at it most of the night under the glass. Look for Jackson to have a big game. He'll be emotional because he knows it's his last time in his KU Jersey. MILTON ★★★★ THE PROJECTED STARTING 5 Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward ★★★★ of Saturday night's game, if he can do it consistently to tonight, Kansas will have a tough time losing. When Arthur is on, the Jayhawks are almost unbeatable. This could be Arthur's last game, too. Arthur finally showed that he was alive in the opening minutes 100 Derrick Rose, 6-foot-3 freshman guard, A sure-fire top-five pick in the NBA draft, Rose will probably be one-and-done. But he just might grab a title before sprinting off to the NBA. THE SIXTH MAN Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard Antonio Anderson, 6-foot-6 junior guard. ★★★★ guard, Another big, athletic guard, Anderson might pose match-up problems for Kansas' smallish guards. Brett Collins, S.J. Scott Fischborne guard Collins looked like he was close to his best on Saturday. He'd been struggling for most of the tournament but looked sharp going against Ty Lawson. Tonight, he'll go against Rose, another Chicago native. Collins wants this one for the team and for himself. Kansas jumps out to another quick start. Kansas has always played its best when it plays good early. If Kansas can grab an early lead against Memphis, it just might mean title No. 3 for Kansas. If that happens, you're going to want to do one of two things. Find a way to get to Massachusetts Street or find a way to get to the San Antonio River Walk. That's where the party will be. THE ALAMODOME WILL ROCK IF... ★★★★☆ — Rustin Dodd ★★★★ Brandon Rush Chris Douglas- Roberts, 6-foot-7 junior forward Some compare him to NBA legend, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, H. JEFFREY L. BROWN Monroe. He had 28 points against UCLA on Saturday. PETER ROBERTS ★★★★ YADEMUNE Robert Dozier, 6-foot-9 junior forward The Lithonia, Ga., native is an athletic glass-eater. Dozier's main jobs are to rebound and play defense. ★★★★ Joey Dorsey, 6-foot-9 senior forward senior forward Memphis enigmatic forward may be the perfect spokesperson for Memphis. Dorsey - like the Tigers - is talented, but understand. PETER HARRIS the Tigers – is talented, but hard to understand. THE SIXTH MAN Shawn Taggart, 6-foot-10 sophomore forward, A transfer from Iowa State, Taggart went to high school with Brandon Rush at Mt. Zion Academy. He played 22 minutes against UCLA. PATRICK BRENNAN ★★★☆ -Rustin Dodd PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... Kansas loses another national title game. Kansas has lost twice in the title game - 1991 and 2003 - since its 1988 Championship, and five times overall - 1940, 1953 and 1957. A victory tonight would send Lawrence in to euphoria. The town, the program, the coach, the players - everybody is craving a title. Another runner-up trophy would mean another bitter ending to a great season. MEM TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Memphis is 38-1, playing for the national title, yet the Tigers still feel disrespected. They don't play in a major conference, their coach has a reputation for being a great recruiter and not a great game coach, and the Tigers themselves haven't exactly been portrayed as a group of Beaver Cleavers. But they're still here. They're athletic, fast and strong...and they are the last remaining team between Kansas and a national championship. WHO TO WATCH Derrick Rose, 6-foot-3 freshman guard He's been compared to NBA star Jason Kidd. His stats – 25 points, nine rebounds and four assists against UCLA – speak for themselves. So how does Kansas stop Memphis powerful young colt. It'll be a group effort, with Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Sherron 10 Rose Collins all getting an opportunity to defend Rose. Kansas had been burned before by freshmen in national championship games. If Kansas can contain Rose, they'll be that much closer to victory. Can Rush stop CDR? QUESTION MARK It's no secret. Brandon Rush will be matched up with Memphis' Chris Douglas Roberts. At 6-foot-7, CDR poses problems for most college wings. He scorched UCLA for 28 points. But Rush has the size and length to stop him. The Jayhawks need Rush to score, but tonight, it might be more important for him to guard. HEARYE. HEARYE "I think it has brought our city together.There's just something about Memphis basketball. They love us; they love the way we play. We have brought a lot of attention to the city. Memphis is not really known for anything positive.They want something positive to finally come to the city." Memphis junior forward Robert Dozier on the city of Memphis.

Campus smokeout to focus on students HEALTH smoking facts Smoking-related healthcare costs in America total $167 billion annually The average smoker will spend $100,000 on cigarettes in a lifetime Half of all smokers will die from something smoke-related One out of every five deaths in the U.S. is attributed to tobacco products 禁止吸烟 Smoking increases the risk of at least 15 different types of cancer The average smoker will try, unsuccessfully, to quit six times without the help of a program From the American Cancer Society and Watkins Memorial Health Center BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com The University of Kansas first Smokeout, scheduled for Wednesday, will encourage students to leave their cigarettes at home and graduate smoke-free. Based on the American Cancer Society's annual Great American Smokeout, the University's Smokeout's aim is to make campus tobacco-free on Wednesday. Ken Sarber, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center, and two other peer health educators, will be on Wescoe Beach from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help raise awareness for the health risks associated with smoking as well as the opportunities available to help students quit smoking. "We want students to think about if they are controlling their tobacco habit or if tobacco is controlling them," Sarber said. Hetailoled the event to the needs of students based on survey results collected on campus in November, which showed that 65 percent of smokers surveyed wanted to quit smoking before graduation. Sarber said the emphasis on helping students conquer their nic- KanU Ouit What: A one-on-one smoking cessation program Cost: Free Length: Six Weeks Goals: Identify a smoker's triggers and devise ways to curb nicotine cravings Contact: Ken Sarber at the KU Smokeout table on Wednesday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., by phone at (785) 864-9573 or by email at ksarber@ku.edu. otine addiction separated the KU Smokeout from the Great American Smokeout. "Students need to realize that it is still possible to graduate smoke-free," Sarber said. "We want them to know that they can quit and that Student Health Services is there to help." Sarber's free smoking cessation program at SHS, called KanU Quit, has already helped 20 students successfully quit smoking since its inception in December. The program takes six weeks to complete, making it a timely endeavor for any seniors wanting to The reasons to avoid cigarettes are well known, but Sarber said most people needed more help quitting than they realized. Information about KanU Quit will be available at the smokeout table on Wescoe Beach. stop smoking Kara Boston, Shabbona, Ill., senior and peer health educator for SHS, said the table would also feature a video telling the story of a woman who contracted emphysema at the age of 23 and died eight years later. "The mindset of college students is that they're young and they don't think anything is going to go wrong," Noravong said. "This could give them a little reality check." Gary Noravong, Olathe senior and peer health educator, said the video would attach an urgent message about the risks of smoking, which could often seem far-off. Students who visit the smokeout table can also enter a raffle via a short smoking habit survey. Sarber said that beginning in the fall, he would repeat the KU Smokeout four times each year to insure that all smokers on campus know the options available to help them quit. Edited by Nick Mangiaracina WEB SECURITY Officials warn against giving out passwords University officials are warning students never to give out their KU e-mail password. Students received e-mails yesterday from an address claiming to be the University's IT Support Office wanting passwords. "It's called spoofing," Julie Fugett, KU Information Security analyst, said. "It's social engineering that fools you into trusting them." The scam e-mail said ku.edu was planning a maintenance process. The e-mail, signed THE ku.edu SUPPORT TEAM, requested ku.edu passwords in a reply email. The scammer promised this would prevent spam. "They are banking on the idea that you use the same password for everything," Fugett said. She said once they have access to e-mail accounts they can get bank statements and credit card information as well. "If the e-mail is from a University address, people are more likely to trust it." Fuquett said. She said what they really wanted were PayPal and Amazon passwords. "As soon as we block this one there will be another one," Fugett said. Students receive an e-mail every semester reminding them to change their password, but it looks nothing like the scam email. All password changes are done through the secured Kyou link, not e-mail. Fugett said that if you receive an e-mail like this, don't click on any link, don't reply and don't call any numbers listed. The Information Security Office responded and said helpdesk@ku.edu is not an active e-mail address and no KU official will ask for a password by e-mail. "E-mail addresses can be faked by anyone, anywhere at anytime," Fuget said. KU IT requests that students forward any suspected e-mails to abuse@ku.edu immediately so they can prevent future scam incidents. She said the most important thing to do is to educate people on how to recognize scam e-mails. The IT Security Office said anyone who felt they were a victim of fraudulent e-mails should call the KU Customer Service Center at 864-8080.

Fans file into Allen Fieldhouse for a free watch party to watch Kansas beat Memphis 75-68. Doors opened at 7:30 p.m. and the rush to find seats was reminiscent of a home game. Fans took their seats and waited an hour for tipoff. Lenexa residents Cody Fothergill and Boyd Bauman said they wanted to be one step closer than they were during the 1988 championship game. "I think it'll be about the closest thing to being live that you're going to be able to get," Fothergill said. Bauman said he wanted to catch more of the camaraderie during the game. Fothergill and Bauman sported hats from the 1988 championship game. Sam Stepp, Mission Hills senior, said he came to the fieldhouse to be a part of the celebration. "I'm a senior at KU and I've been waiting for this basically my whole life." Stepp said. Stepp spent most of the game holding up a sign that said "KU: It's our year." White Owl was also at the watch party, showing off his signature dance moves. "I want to support the spirit of KU." White Owl said. He mentioned that he didn't want to support something that not all KU fans could do, namely go to bars. — Edited by Sasha Roe @ KANSAN.COM Log onto kansan.com for extended coverage of the championship, including photos and video. afusco@kansan.com BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com With 12.8 seconds remaining in the National Championship game, Kansas fans filled the air of the Alamodome with 20 years of frustration. The Rock Chalk chant hung in the air as the Kansas Jayhawks put the finishing touches on their 75-68 victory against the Memphis Tigers. "I'm totally elated," said Pete Krensich, a 2006 Kansas graduate. "It's been way too long since Kansas has won a title. It just shows that we're one of the elite schools and one of the true powers in basketball and sports." As soon as the game ended, the Kansas faithful erupted. Former Jayhawks Julian Wright and Jacque Vaughn cheered alongside football coach Mark Mangino as the basketball team celebrated. After a few minutes, the Jayhawks climbed a podium at midcourt and watched an NCAA Tournament highlight film set to the song, "One Shining Moment." As the players left for the locker room, they stopped for several minutes to embrace family and friends — the first time Kansas has had that chance since 1988. Taylor Miller/KANSAN 17 Edited by Mandy Earles As fans celebrated at the intersection of 10th and Massachusetts streets, several people began climbing street lamps and trees in the area. This man climbed nearly to the top of the pole, but was discouraged when people began shooting fireworks and throwing ice cubes at him.

Some fans, including Lawrence resident Kelly Lais, set off fireworks and lit the street with sparklers merely feet from police. Lais said that she would have stopped if the police had asked her to but that she thought they were more worried about violence.

Massachusetts Street was once again a sea of blue Monday night as an army of jayhawk fans poured out of downtown bars and nearby neighborhoods. They sang the Rock Chalk Chant and ripped their shirts off after Kansas came back and beat Memphis in overtime to become the 2008 NCAA champions. It's Brothers Bar & Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St., erupted into mass hysteria as Mario Chalmers sank the three-pointer that brought the Jayhawks into overtime before winning their third NCAA Tournament championship in the University's history. Joe Hall, Independence senior said it was the most amazing moment he'd ever felt in his entire life. Taylor Miller/KANSAN "I don't even have the words to explain how I feel," he said through tear-filled eyes, minutes after the game ended. "I want this feeling to last forever." Ricki Baker, Aimes, Iowa, junior, called it a once in a lifetime experience. "I'm so happy to be in college right now to experience this," she said. Kristi Wiesner, a student from the University of Missouri-Kansas City who was at Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., even tipped her hat to the Jayhawks during the game. "I want to root for them tonight because I love the Big 12," she said. The only quiet point throughout the night at Quinton's was during Bill Self's pregame speech, which ended with an eruption of cheers as the Jayhawks ran onto the court. Kevin Kunde, Chicago senior, praised former Kansas coach Roy Williams for standing behind the KU bench, sporting a Jayhawk sticker on his shirt. "Roy Williams is an absolute class act," he said. "We beat him two days ago, and the fact that he sat behind our bench during the national championship makes him a true legend." Blue T-shirts littered Massachusetts Street all day long as Jayhawk fans from all over the country flocked to downtown Lawrence. KU alumnus Kevin Peterson said he and his friend drove eight hours from Chicago to watch the Final Four game on Saturday. "We asked off for Monday and Tuesday in advance in case we beat North Carolina and we did, so here we are," Peterson said. KU. alumnus Tyler Brook even styled his hair into a red and blue Mohawk Monday morning before coming to Lawrence to watch the game at Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St. Some fans arrived at their favorite bars extra early with hopes of finding the best seat in the house. Darcy Stefanik, Chicago junior, and three of her friends had been saving the first spot in line at Quinton's since 7 a.m. before it opened its doors at 4 p.m. "We wanted an awesome table at a bar on Massachusetts Street because the game against North Carolina was absolutely phenomenal." Stefanik said. As the day progressed, a steady stream of fans trickled into bars along Massachusetts Street until they filled to capacity. John Bergwell, a bartender at Harbor Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St., said this year's NCAA Tournament brought in an extraordinary amount of business to a lot of downtown bars. "It's been record-selling for us, and a lot of other places have said the same thing," he said. "Our entire staff is working tonight as well as someone's brother who doesn't normally work here." Andy Kroeker, owner of Fatsos, 1016 Massachusetts St., said he had to go into work early to do an emergency inventory before his bar opened. Joe Aussem, a bouncer at Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., said the bar had been selling 32-ounce beers in droves. "We sold out of everything on Saturday as well as last Sunday," he said. After the game, Matt Riehemann, KU alumnus, said he never planned on going to bed again. "I am the happiest person in the world right now," he shouted after the game. "I am not going to work tomorrow and this celebration does not end until I say it does." Edited by Mandy Earles Kristin Hoppa/KANSAN Fans line up outside Jo Shmo's, 724 Massachusetts st. Monday afternoon, waiting to get inside to watch the NCAA championship game. Some fans had been waiting since 7 a.m. for restaurants and bars to open since to secure their spot to watch Kansas take on Memphis later that night.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2008 NEWS 7A DOWNTOWN Businesses take advantage of support BY JESSICA WICKS AND ASHLEY BARFOROUSH jwicks@kansan.com, abarforoush@kansan.com Outside of Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar stood seventy-five people at 7:30 Monday morning waiting to get inside. The die-hard fans were ready to claim their tables and wait more than 13 hours for the KU-Memphis game to begin. Businesses all over Massachusetts Street made game plans of their own to handle the massive pre- and postgame crowds. Troy Ewing, a doorman at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St., said people camped out to make sure they had seats during the game. The restaurant, which boasts 31 large screen TVs, does not open until 11 a.m. It's Brothers, 1105 Massachusetts St., brought on extra staff and were at capacity all night. Patrons at Vermont Street BBQ, 728 Massachusetts St., ordered their dinner at noon to make sure they could be served among the crowds. The plan was to stay open as long as they safely could. "We definitely have some extra muscle walking around," bartender Katy Brown said. Jimmy Johns employees were looking forward to the postgame madness because the restaurant is open until 3 a.m. "It's a mess," manager Brian Schraeder said, "but I don't know what else you would expect." Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich, 922 Massachusetts St., is usually busiest at a 2 a.m. after the bars close. But on Saturday, the normal 45-minute post-bar rush turned into 10 hours of non-stop business. Amy Savoie, manager of Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., said that it would be business as usual. "As long as they don't give us any Restaurants weren't the only businesses milking the crowds. Retail stores opened up after the game to sell T-shirts and memorabilia. trouble, we don't give them trouble" Savio said. Framewoods Gallery. 819 Massachusetts St., also said that they would open after the game to sell memorabilia but that they were not worried about the crowds in their store. "By 11:30, everyone just wants to have fun outside," Dave Seal, Framewoods owner, said. BURGERS • OYSTERS — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld Kristin Hoppa/KANSAN Fans line up outside Jefferson's Monday afternoon on Massachusetts Street waiting for doors to open to watch the NCAA championship game. Some fans had been waiting for establishments to open since 7 a.m. to reserve their spot to watch Kansas take on Memphis later that night. >> PREPARATIONS Getting ready for the chaos BY ALEXANDR GARRY agarry.kansan.com An excited mood swept over Lawrence as preparations began for the big game. As the basketball players warmed up, coaching staff went over strategies and fans prepared to cheer, Lawrence Police, Lawrence Parks and Recreation and University officials said, win or lose, they were prepared for a potentially chaotic night. Sergeant Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department said police would be sticking to the plan that had been prepared with a few minor changes. Fellers said "fans should be commended" for a relatively incident-free celebration after the Final Four victory on Saturday. The number of officers downtown was scheduled to increase from less than 200 on Saturday to more than 200 on Monday night. Ten other police departments and sheriff's departments provided officers for the big night. no glass bottles or cans. Fellers said they did not plan to close Massachusetts Street to traffic, but would have barricades ready "should it be determined we cannot have traffic for the safety of the celebrators." Fellers said the department's preparations stressed spreading the word about safety and asking for "voluntary compliance" to rules including no fireworks and However, people still set off fireworks and littered the streets with empty cans Saturday night. M a r k Hecker, park superintendent for Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said he readied his staff for the aftermath downtown by having crews clean the streets Dickerson expected 7,000 excited fans. With safety issues a major campus concern. Margreta de "It's our job to make it look like there wasn't a party here." MARK HECKER Lawrence Parks and Recreation before, during and after the game. He said another shift followed Tuesday at about 6 or 7 a.m. The crew includes 35 to 40 people and three street sweepers. Hecker said he anticipated the morning shift would take about three hours to complete. "It's our job to try to make it look like there wasn't a party there," Hecker said Monday afternoon. "It's a lot of work, but we all still want KU to win" The Parks and Recreation team's preparation also included emptying trash barrels in advance and preparing its fleet of backpack leaf blowers and heavy brooms. But not all of the game-watching was to occur downtown. Staff at Allen Fieldhouse prepared for an open-to-the-public watch party by cleaning up the mess left by Saturday's watch party. Assistant athletics director for events Bill Vries, senior administrative associate with Parking and Transit, said Safe Ride services would be increased to Friday or Saturday sight capacities of seven to 10 cars "What everyone's interested in is celebrating a national championship without endangering others," Fellers said. The University also prohibited parking on Jayhawk Boulevard for the night and planned to have most buildings locked by 7 p.m. as well as all libraries closed by 10 p.m. Edited by Nick Mangiaracina ANNIVERSARY Celebrations reminiscent of past for longtime Lawrence residents Y ANDREW WIEBE AND BRENNA HAWLEY awiebe@kansan.com and bhawley@kansan.com In 1988, Claudia Olea joined the masses of students celebrating KU basketball's national championship victory on Massachusetts Street. Twenty years later, the 1991 graduate made the short walk from her home on Tennessee Street to celebrate with thousands of jubilant students. With her children outfitted in Jayhawk gear in the background, Olea said she was confident that revelers wouldn't damage property or go overboard, just like fans didn't in 1988. "You just have a different perspective," Olea said. "It just was a joyful mood both times, people celebrating. It felt like the same kind of spirit of celebration, having fun and enjoying it." Christy Edwards was a Lawrence resident 20 years ago and now lives on Massachusetts Street. She said the main difference was the number of people making the trek downtown after the games. She said that Lawrence had grown since the last championship and that the number of revelers had increased, too. Edwards said although there would always be people behaving badly, most people she saw were following the rules, which extra police officers enforced. "I guess I kind of trust the system," Edwards said. "If people are going to be weird, they're going to be weird." Some residents, such as James Lemieux, said they weren't concerned about excessive damage to their property. Lemieux, who lives on Vermont Street, says he was used to living on a route students use to get home from downtown. "There's a general level of people peeing on our lawn anyway," Lemieux said. "We just get used to that, and the beer cans on our lawn." Lemieux said he and his wife are still feeling the effects of joining students downtown after Saturday's game. He said one factor that might keep celebrations from getting out of hand was the probability of rain. Olea said she thought everyone would keep a good spirit and that fans had a lot to be proud of no matter what the outcome. "When we win, people just celebrate and have fun with it," Olea said. "Mostly when we don't win, people go home and mope a little bit." —Edited By Nick Mangiaracina DON'S AUTO: [Keeping Kansas students off the streets since 1972] Don's Auto Center 14th & Haskell 841-1833 Culver's Signature Frozen Custard $1 off any Concrete Mixer Culver's exp. 05/31/2008 2111 West 33rd St. Just off Iowa ESTABLISHED IN CHARLESTON, IL IN 1983 TO ADD TO STUDENTS GPA AND GENERAL DATING ABILITY. $4.25 ESTABLISHED IN CHARLESTON, IL IN 1983 TO ADD TO STUDENTS GPA AND GENERAL DATING ABILITY. $4.25 8" SUB SANDWICHES All of my tasty sub sandwiches are a full 8 inches of homemade French bread, fresh veggies and the finest meats & cheese I can buy!

Both Brown and Fatone were "It's not like 'American idol' or 'Dancing With the Stars.' Brown told The Associated Press. "It's not a serious competition. It gives people a break from their everyday lives to have some fun with their co-workers." members of chart-topping pop quintets; both finished second on "Dancing With the Stars"; and both have starred in "Rent" on Broadway. In each episode, Brown, 32, and Fatone, 31, surprise employees at two separate workplaces "I couldn't have thought of a better pair to do this,"Scott Sternberg, executive producer, said."Both of them did really well on'Dancing With the Stars',so I think America really knows them and is rooting for them now." with impromptu vocal auditions.

APRIL 8, 2008 COMMENTARY Ever-changing music scene leaves out diverse tastes A consumer mentality is plaguing music, and I'm not talking about the satchels of money the record companies expect us to pay for 10 songs. THE UNIVERSITY DARLY KANSAN JAKE LERMAN When a listener is always seeking what's fresh, it's easy to forget that for every new hit single, there are dozens of outstanding tracks that just got lost in the void over the years. I'm not saying that it's wrong to appreciate new material, but in that ephemeral chase for the cutting-edge, many people lose sight of all the great music that's already been made. Just because something is new doesn't mean that it's any better than something that's been around for a while. Oldies stations try to remind us of all the great music from bygone eras. But if you listen to any one of these stations for a week, you're bound to hear the same songs on endless repeat. The problem with these stations is that they rarely dig past the surface of the artists they feature. Sure, you'll hear "Like A Rolling Stone," but even with Bob Dylan's extensive collection, the stations never go deeper than that. The public is reducing great artists to solely their hits. That's like seeing the Mona Lisa and thinking you know everything there is to know about DaVinci. It just ain't right. It's getting even harder for oldi- stations to give artists the time they deserve because the songs they play are steadily creeping up the musical timeline. Oldies stations started out playing the jazz of the 1950s, and they gradually moved into rock and roll as the times changed. How long before they make it into the '90s and beyond? But now anyone can hear music from as recent as the '70s and even the '80s playing on oldies stations. If you ask people who lived through the "oldies" era, they'll tell you that the music that's on these stations is what they were listening to when they were young, but there's so much that's missing. I'm worried for the future. Not only because of the tons of greenhouse gases we're pumping into the air or the steadily rising sea levels that threaten to drown our coastlines, but because when the oldies become the music of our generation, there won't be a separate station for each one of the distinct genres that we love. Artists will be lumped together by decade regardless of where they came from. Imagine Britney Spears playing after Nirvana on 108.8 F.M., "Greats of Generation Y". People want their favorite bands to be remembered when they grow old, but not just for that hit single that got airplay. You might find something that you never knew existed. Take a break from what's hot and look back in time to some of your favorite artists other songs you may have skipped over. If nothing else, you may learn that the bass line from "Ice Ice Baby" wasn't written by Vanilla Ice. It was David Bowie Lerman is a Highland Park, III., sophomore in journalism.

COMMENTARY Tyler Doehring Poetry allows its authors to paint pictures with words The month of April showers the world with not only rain but also poetry. That's right. It's National Poetry Month. Now, many readers may be rolling their eyes and groaning, thinking of the usual poetic stereotypes We have our: 1. Angsty, depressed intellectuals donned in black who are burdened with the woes of the world, their souls dripping truth upon the page. 2. Old-school romantics who, like hippies, enjoy watching the grass grow and cannot say anything without describing it to the last miraculous molecule. 3. Old epic poets who describe battles and glory in such a vague way that we are immediately induced into a sonorous slumber. Poetry is sometimes misunderstood as boring or too complicated. Sure, some poetry is like that, but we should not be so quick to condemn all poetry books to only be useful doorsteps. Poetry does not require a deep, dark hidden meaning. Poetry just is. It is a form of expression, a way of communicating the author's thoughts. If we judged every book by the literature we are required to read in class, many of us would never pick up a book again in fear of finding something as terrifying as "Heart of Darkness." Poetry attempts to describe a moment in time, and it paints a picture with words. JENNY HARTZ Think of poets like Shel Silverstein, Dr. Suess or Ogden Nash. They are talented writers who express their thoughts and ideas in poetry. However, their poetry is often not what we think of when thinking of traditional poetry. But, regardless of the form and subject matter, their work is still poetry. I am sick of angry, the-worldsucks poetry, and I cannot bring myself to write an ode to the clouds. (They're clouds. They float. End of story.) When we look at poetry with this mindset, it is not as daunting. In fact, we might find poetry rather fun. If authors write about personal subject matter in a style that is true to themselves, then poetry can be beautiful and easily accessible for all people. Instead, I wrote a poem about how I despise how much teachers pick literature apart. This poem was very popular with my classmates in high school. Why? Because it is genuine. Hartz is a Stilwell junior in creative writing. my poem The Literary Loony She stands up front holding a giant book, cover reflected in reading glasses "a classic piece of literature" She claims there's "hidden meaning" and "symbolism" and literary terms She says the author purposely [like he actually planned this insanity] used literary terms to enhance the story. My assonance. And finally she finishes and asks us what we think about this wonderful work How will it affect our everyday lives? Well, I think, I'm in need of a decent doorstop But instead I simply reply "This book really speaks to me. Isn't that personification?" And she beams so brightly and I grin back I think I'll get an A excerpt from a poem by Jenny Hartz. editorials around the nation 1970 To anyone who dared believe that "the surge" had solved our problems in Iraq, the recent outbreak of violence must come as a painful awakening. The renewed intensity of combat means that Iraq's factional strife remains as big a problem as ever and that the ultimate U.S. goal of creating a unified, stable and democratic government in Iraq is as elusive as a mirage. While U.S. soldiers are drawn into a civil war pitting three rival Shiite militias battling for political power, mortar rounds pound the fortified U.S. complex known as the "Green Zone" in Baghdad. Surge brings violence not stability to Iraq If the face-off between Iraqi soldiers and the militia of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in Basra was a test, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government flunked. ASSOCIATED PRESS An injured university student is seen after he and his classmates were rescued in Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad. Gunmen abducted two buses transporting students to Mosul University on Sunday. Not only was he obliged to rescind an ultimatum that the renegade militia surrender, but members of his government were forced to go hat in hand to Iran to negotiate a ceasefire. The surge that Bush so often touts has helped to reduce U.S. military casualties, but the underlying political and social divisions of Iraq remain a huge impediment to fulfillment of the U.S. mission. At best, the surge has been a tactical advance, not a permanent success. Next week, when Gen. David Petraeus testifies before Congress, he should not flinch at giving a realistic assessment. Americans already know that there are no rosy scenarios in Iraq. Nor do they expect hard and fast deadlines for achieving something that can be called success. What they are entitled to know, however, is what it will take to get the job done. They deserve honest answers.

Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur led the Jayhawks with 20 points and 10 rebounds, but junior guard Mario Chalmers provided the game's signature moment: a three-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation that sent the game to overtime, tied at 65. Kansas wins in overtime to earn NCAA title for first time since 1988 BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com He moved his hips to "Celebration" and slapped hands all around with his teammates in the confetti-filled jubilation of their national championship. SAN ANTONIO — Mario Chalmers can dance now, now that his name has been permanently etched into the Kansas basketball history books. That's right — national championship. Kansas (37-3) beat Memphis (38-2) 75-68 in overtime on Monday night at the Alarmodome, winning its first title since 1988 and third in program history after coming back from a late nine-point deficit. "God, we competed hard," Kansas coach Bill-Self said. "It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win the way these guys did." Then, Chalmers separated from his man for just long enough. Collins found him. Trailing 63-60, Chalmers shot a three near the top of the key. Overtime. Brandon Rush started out with a layup. Chalmers and Darrell Arthur combined for an alley-op. When Collins made two free throws to put Kansas up 75-68, the game was finished. Chalmers' shot had sparked all of it. Chalmers' celebratory dance moves seemed so natural, just like the shot he made about 30 minutes earlier that sent the game to overtime. The play started with Sherron Collins. He had 10 seconds to make sure Kansas extended the game and kept its dream season alive. He dribbled to the right wing behind the three-point line and nearly lost the ball. The game should've been finished long before that play. The Jayhawks got a gift from the Tigers when they missed five of six free throws that would've iced the game. They didn't waste the good fortune in overtime. The extra period was all Kansas. "I just knew we had the game after that," Arthur said. A happy ending seemed implausible late in the second half. Memphis' Derrick Rose nearly killed Kansas. He was ready to put himself at the top of the list of Jayhawk Final Four villains right up there with Carmelo Anthony, Juan Dixon and Grant Hill. With Memphis down 45-42 midway in the second half, Rose scored 12 straight points for Memphis. He couldn't miss if he tried. Really. Rose fired a long off-balance jumper at the end of the shot clock and banked it in. The basket gave Memphis a 56-49 lead with 4:10 left. The Tigers stretched that lead to 60-51, and it looked like Memphis would cut down the nets. "A lot of guys thought the game was over," Darnell Jackson said, "but we just kept saying believe." Self said those exact words to his team. Chalmers used Self's message and the memories from last season's comeback victories against Texas to motivate him. Arthur took the inspirational words to heart as well. It was no surprise to see Chalmers take over in the clutch. Arthur was more of an unexpected hero. Kansas has known all season it plays superior ball when Arthur is active. Problem was, that didn't happen too often. In the tournament, Arthur's inconsistency got even worse.

Chalmers, who was named Most Outstanding Player, made the three-pointer that tied the game and put it into overtime. BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — Call this one Mario - and the miracle. It seemed as if all of Kansas was in the massive arena on the outskirts of downtown San Antonio. Ask someone twenty years from now where they were when Mario Chalmers hit "the shot," and they'll probably tell you the Alamodome. Nope, it was only 43,257 fans. But junior guard Mario Chalmers, the tournament's most outstanding player, made them roar like never before. "It was probably the biggest shot ever made in the history of Kansas basketball," coach Bill Self said. The game,the season,the dream. It all looked lost, snatched away by the beautiful play of Memphis' duo of junior Chris Douglas-Roberts and freshman Derrick Rose. But then Memphis started missing free throws and Kansas furiously rallied. And down three, with 10 seconds remaining, Sherron Collins skirted across half-court and found a looping Mario Chalmers. "Sherron kind of fumbled the ball." Chalmers said. The three-pointer went down. Kansas 63, Memphis 63. Life continued. "We got the ball to our most clutch player and he delivered," Self said. Funny thing is, Bill Self saw this coming. Kansas was known as a team of balance, defined by players who only cared about winning. A group of high school stars, brought together and molded into champions by Kansas coach Bill Self. But Self knew. He kept it close to his breast, but he knew. Mario Chalmers was Kansas' go-to-guy. Self even said so last year. "He has no memory," Self said. "The next thing that happens is the only thing he's worried about." The shot will be replayed for years. Mario Chalmers, who came to Kansas from Anchorage, Alaska, finding the net and sending the game into overtime. Of course, there was still an overtime to be played. Energized by a second chance, Kansas quickly took control. And once again Chalmers came through, making two free throws with 45 seconds remaining. When it was all over, Chalmers high-stepped around the Alamodome with Brady Morningstar fast in pursuit. Morningstar finally caught Chalmers, wrapped his hands armed around Kansas' junior guard and tried to jump on his back. Chalmes slipped away. He probably was tired of carrying people. It was a team effort in the first half, as Kansas built a 33-28 lead. But in the second half and overtime, Chalmers made his presence known, delivering 11 points and two assists after the break Kansas' junior guard finished with 18 points, three assists, three steals, and the most clutch shot in Kansas history. Chalmers seemed unfazed by history. "I just know that it was a big shot," He said. "My teammates had confidence in me." The confetti poured and the championship T-shirts came out. A historic comeback was complete. As the buzzer sounded, Chalmer made his way to the crowd. Finally he found his way to his mother and hung on for dear life. Moments later, Chalmers hugged his father, Ronnie. Father and son were wrapped into each others' arms, and the Jayhawks were champions once again. "There was something different tonight," Self said. —Edited by Sasha Roe COMMENTARY Men's basketball, football seasons mark best in Kansas sports history BY CASE KEEFER KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR ckefer@kansan.com And there would be more than enough content to fill it. 'The Chalmers Shot,' which will be remembered for decades to come, could be repeated for five minutes straight without ever getting old for Jayhawk fans. Before 2007, the Kansas football team had lost at least five games each season for 12 straight years. CBS' traditional 'One Shining Moment' highlights montage, which is played at the conclusion of the NCAA Tournament to commemorate the champions, just doesn't do what happened here justice. Nope, the network's head honchos would have to create 'A Year's Worth of Glowing Memories' video to do that. This year, the University of Kansas' two revenue sports squads, the football and men's basketball teams, lost a total of four times. How about sophomore forward Darrell Arthur blocking national darling Tyler Hansbrough's shot in the first half of Saturday's game? Let's not forget the Sherron Collins-to-Sasha Kaun alley-oop in the same game that re-energized the Jayhawks for the final seven minutes. Add Mario Chalmers' eight three-pointers in the Big 12 Four losses—just think about that. That means about 92 percent of the time when the Jayhawks walked on the field or court, they won. If you were that proficient in the classroom, you'd have a 4.0 grade point average. If the president ever received that high of an approval rating, wad be living in euphoria. That's why Kansas' 75-68 overtime victory against Memphis in Monday night's National Championship did more than simply bring Lawrence its first title in 20 years. It capped off the greatest year in Kansas sports history. BY CASE KEEFER CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM Championship or jumping out to a 32-11 lead in the opening nine minutes against Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse. This list could stretch on. Oh, there's football triumphs, too. Maybe sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing directing the Jayhawks up and down the field against Nebraska en route to 10 straight touchdowns and 76 points. Junior linebacker Joe Mortensen's burst through the Virginia Tech offensive line that led to a blocked field goal in the Orange Bowl needs to be immortalized. This year was incredible for Kansas sports fans. More than that – this year was dominance. Even the most bitter defeats had their silver linings. Kansas State might have beaten Kansas for the first time in 25 years at Bramlage Coliseum, but the Cats were beaten into submission in Lawrence. Not to mention, they squandered a third opportunity to face the Hawks by losing in the Big 12 Tournament and the NCAA Tournament. Missouri might have ruined Kansas' football national title aspirations, but the Tigers ended up in Dallas playing in the Cotton Bowl. Kansas was rewarded with a more exotic location and a more notable trophy at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Neither the football or basketball teams lost a home game all year. And while we're at it, KU Athletics Director Lew Perkins dominated airtime during the Super Bowl because he was sitting right below Peyton Manning. But nothing can be better than the fact that there's going to be a new banner in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse. Did the stars just align correctly over Lawrence? Is Perkins just truly Buddha? We'll never know why it happened. But one thing is for sure – something magical took place here this year. Enjoy it. Edited by Matt Hirschfeld BEST BBQ IN LAWRENCE delivered right to your door.

Douglas-Roberts controlled the first half, scoring 13 points. But the second half belonged to Rose, who scored 15 points after halftime. If not for Mario Chalmers, Rose's banked three-pointer might have been the defining moment of the Final Four. Ya Throughout all the tough losses in Self's career, whether they were in the Elite Eight or first round of the NCAA Tournament, he never stopped believing in his plans. He didn't think he needed to participate in Monday night's game to validate himself as a coach. He already had faith he was doing everything right. "So much of it is, in my opinion, catching a break and still executing and those things," self said. "But the biggest thing is, is your team playing as close to its ceiling as it possibly can? And if you do those things, I'm fine with whatever happens."

Sunday. Edwards wins cup after car controversy BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT WORTH, Texas — Don't tell Carl Edwards that NASCAR's new car is boring, not after he drove it to his series-best third win of the season. Edwards dominated Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway, then rebuked claims made by second and third-place finishers Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch that the Car of Tomorrow erased the excitement from the event. "Let me state my position very clearly: I've heard people say that the races are boring, and people always want something to complain about, if it's too hard to drive you don't get enough side-by-side racing," he said. "It's not supposed to be easy, everyone. It's not supposed to be driving down the interstate. "There are going to be people that are faster. We're going to have days when we can't keep up because the car is too hard to drive. Somebody's going to win. That's racing." Edwards might be biased though. He's proven to be unbeatable on intermediate tracks this season, winning at California, Las Vegas and now Texas. And he could have won at Atlanta had his motor not failed while leading. His dominance has proven that the severe penalties his team drew after a failed inspection in Vegas won't derail his Roush Fenway Racing team. Edwards was docked 100 points and crew chief Bob Osborne was suspended six races because the lid was missing on the oil tank after the Vegas victory. "It doesn't matter if we get penalized," Edwards said. "We might get a 100-point penalty for something today. It's not going to change what I do. I'm just going to do the best I can and our cars are really good. It does feel good to look in there and see the oil tank cover on the car that's good. "But this is what we do. We got out and try to win. The other stuff doesn't matter." That was evident as Edwards dominated Sunday, leading a race-high 123 laps. He built a lead of more than 7 seconds at one point, and it only evaporated with two late cautions that allowed Johnson and Busch a pair of chances to catch him. Neither came close. "He probably could have led however many laps there were today," said Busch, the third-place finisher. "He just didn't show his full hand. We knew he was pretty good." Edwards didn't dispute it, either. He nearly won the pole, settling for second when Dale Earnhardt Jr's late attempt nudged him to the second starting position, then paced both of Saturday's final practice sessions to cement himself as the driver to beat. "That's the truth," he said of Busch's assertion. "I could go a lot faster today if I wanted to." It wasn't necessary as the No. 99 team won for the first time since the Las Vegas scandal that stripped Edwards of valuable points — the 100-point deduction knocked him out of the points lead, and NASCAR also seized the 10 bonus points he earned for the victory. In addition to his suspension, Osborne was fined $100,000. As Edwards crossed the finish line Sunday, he dedicated the victory to Osborne, who was watching on TV back in North Carolina. "This is for Bob Osborne sitting at home," Edwards radioed his crew. "Good job, guys." Willie's Bar NEW!

For starters, both teams have just one win in their last eight games. Well, either the Jayhawks or the Bears have to put a notch in the win column today. At 6 p.m. Kansas (19-16) welcomes Northern Colorado (8-22) to Hoglund Ballpark for the first leg of a two-game midweek series. Like Kansas, Northern Colorado is coming off a weekend sweep, but the Bears shouldn't be taken lightly. Two of Northern Colorado's victories this season came against Texas A&M, which swept Kansas two weeks ago, and one came against No. 2 Arizona State. As if that isn't enough, Kansas starters' subpar pitching will keep the Jayhawks and coach Ritch Price from underestimating the Bears. "We've got to get some momentum going back in our dugout," Price said. "Those are two huge games now. "The second thing is, the guys that we start (today) and Wednesday have an opportunity to move into the weekend rotation if they pitch well. The door's been left open for someone to emerge." The first pitcher Price will send out to the mound tonight is sophomore left-hander Shaeffer Hall (21). Although his 4.95 ERA is far from dazzling, it is the second best on the team and if he can give the Jayhawks a quality start, Price may have to consider moving him into the weekend rotation. Stepping into the box to face Hall is a timid Northern Colorado offense that's averaging fewer than five runs a game. Of the Bears' regulars, only infielder Chad Murray is batting over 300 while first baseman Kevin Sandberg is Northern Colorado's biggest threat on offense with a team-best four home runs and 405 on-base percentage. Catcher Erik Whinney is the only other Bear hitting over 265. As for the Jayhawks, they too are looking for more production out of their offense. "The five guys in the middle of our lineup, they've got to knock runs in when we've got opportunities to do so," Price said. Senior left fielder John Allman, junior catcher Buck Afenir, senior right fielder Ryne Price, senior shortstop Erik Morrison and junior first baseman Preston Land have occupied the heart of Kansas' order and had a rough weekend at Baylor. Other than Rye Price, who went 5-for-12 with six RBI and two home runs, the rest of the group hit .176 with just six RBI for the weekend. Five of those RBI came from Morrison and his two-home run performance on Sunday, which coach Price hopes is a sign that Morrison has snapped out of his slump. "We've got to stay positive, we've got to fight through it," Price said. KU Edited by Mandy Earles KANSAN FILE PHOTO Sophomore outfielder John Allman is batting .345 this season.

Rookie reserve Aaron Brooks scored 18 points, and five teammates reached double figures in Houston's 105-79 victory over the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Rockets, who won their third straight, are fifth in the tight Western Conference but trail first-place New Orleans by only two and a half games. "We knew we were going to make the playoffs," Houston star Tracy McGrady said. "What are we going to do when we get there? Clinching is pretty good, but it's not what we want to celebrate." At least the Rockets won their game. Dirk Nowitzki scored 32 points and the Dallas Mavericks rallied from a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Suns 105-98. "Everything was good and for whatever reason, the lights went out, and we couldn't get back in it," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. The Suns, outscored 27-9 in the fourth quarter, still clinched a playoff spot when Golden State and Denver both lost. Houston's Rafer Alston, averaging 13.2 points and 5.4 assists, missed his third game due to a sore left hamstring. But the Rockets got exceptional play from Jackson and Brooks, his replacements at point guard. At Los Angeles, rookie Luis Scola scored 16 points, Luther Head added 15, McGrady had 13 points, eight rebounds and nine assists, Bobby Jackson had 12 points, five rebounds and four assists, and Battier scored 11 for the Rockets, who shot 48.1 percent and outrebounded the Clippers 51-33.

At Phoenix, Josh Howard had 24 points and Brandon Bass 19 for the Mavericks, who used a smothering defense in a 16-0 run that put them ahead for good in a game the Suns had led nearly throughout. Phoenix went scoreless for just under eight minutes, missing 12 shots in the process.

Team to rely on experience BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com Bonnie Henrickson and the Kansas Jayhawks didn't want to see senior forwards Jamie Boyd and Taylor McIntosh's college careers end. But while these athletes will be missed, their departure represents a point of no return in Henrickson's first four seasons as coach of the lajhwacks. its rebounding production. It's a far cry from a year ago when Shaquina Mosley and Sharita Smith played their final game in crimson and blue and left Henrickson with six sophomores and three freshmen. "I think the competition will be great for the program. I think it's what we need. It enhances competitiveness and production." The Jayhawks will have the kind Boyd and McIntosh, the only players who spent four years under Henrickson, a former Virginia Tech coach, are gone, and Henrickson's fourth recruiting class is on the way to Lawrence, led by the silky Angel Goodrich, a point guard from Thalaquah, Okla. BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas coach When the season kicks off with Late Night in the Phog next fall, there will be three seniors and six juniors in the program, a total of nine upperclassmen out of 15 players. Sophomore guard Sade Morris said now was the time to make the next step — to find a way to win on the road, contend in the Big 12 and make a trip to the NCAA Tournament. "The NCAA Tournament, it's that or bust," Morris said. "We don't want anything less." It definitely looks possible. But the Jayhawks have to shake their dreadful road form and find a way to limit turnovers. It's hard not to forget that Henrickson's team was 2-11 on the road this season and winless on the road in Big 12 play. Junior guard Ivana Catic was the only player with a positive assist to turnover ratio. of depth that Bill Self boasts this season.

"I think it will get us out and run," Henrickson said. "You can sub and get someone fresh to continue to push. All these kids can run. It will be the quickest team we've had." The recruiting class is solid, not to mention the luxury of having sophomore guard Kelly Kohn and freshman guard Chakeithea Weldon healthy for an entire season. Henrickson is convinced the battle for playing time could only make Kansas a better team in the long run. "I think the competition will be great for the program," Henrickson said. "I think it's what we need. It enhances competitiveness and production." Perhapsthemostheatedbattlewillbe at point guard, where Goodrich will be added to an already talented pool of players. Though Catic held the starting spot for all but four games, sophomore LaChelda Jacobs' minutes rose steadily all season and Weldon was making strides before tearing her ACL.

Henrickson said improving would be their only focus, and one that would begin immediately. "It starts right now," she said. "We've got some kids in the gym already starting to work." M23 》OLYMPICS — Edited by Patrick De Oliveira Protests hinder torch parade Police officers apprehend an anti-China, pro-Tibet demonstrator, as he tries to interrupt the Olympic torch parade before an athlete in a wheelchair, left, takes the relay, shortly after its beginning near the Eiffel tower in Paris, on Monday. Security officials have extinguished the Olympic torch for a second time amid heavy protests during the torch relay in Paris. BY JEROME PUGMIRE AND ELAINE GANLEY ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Security officials appeared to interrupt the procession for the PARIS - Organizers canceled the final leg of the Olympic run through Paris after chaotic protests Monday, snuffing out the torch and putting it aboard a bus in a humiliating concession to protesters decrying China's human rights record. Worried officials extinguished the torch and placed it on the bus five times throughout the day as protesters tried to grab the torch and block the relay. At least two activists got almost an arm's length away before they were seized by police. Another protester threw water at the torch but failed to put it out before being taken away. The 17.4-mile route started at the Eiffel Tower, headed down the Champs-Elysées toward City Hall, then crossed the Seine before ending at the Charlety track and field stadium. The chaos started at the Eiffel Tower moments after the relay began. Green Party activist Sylvain Garel lunged for the first torch-bearer, former hurdler Stephane Diagana, and shouted "Freedom for the Chinese!" before security officials pulled him back. The torch went back on the bus less than an hour later after the procession was halted by activists who booed and chanted "Tibet!" The torch moved on but was soon put out by security officers and placed aboard the bus after a crowd of activists waving Tibetan flags confronted the torchbearer on a road along the Seine. "We respect that right for people to demonstrate peacefully, but equally there is a right for the torch to pass peacefully and the runners to enjoy taking part in the relay," International Olympic Committee spokeswoman Giselle Davies told The Associated Press. third time simply because they had spotted demonstrators ahead. Protesters threw plastic bottles, cups and pieces of bread at the bus, and at a male athlete in a wheelchair. "Nothing is happening as planned. It's unfortunate," Diagana told France 2 television. The torch went back inside the bus a fourth time shortly after a protester approached it with a fire extinguisher near the Louvre. Officers grabbed the demonstrator before he could start to spray. Police said later that at least 28 people had been taken into custody. The flame was whisked into a bus for the last time outside the National Assembly, where protesters gathered and a banner on the building read: "Respect for Human Rights in China" Other demonstrators scaled the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame cathedral and hung banners depicting the Olympic rings as handcuffs. "The flame shouldn't have come to Paris," said protester Carmen de Santiago, who had "free" painted on one cheek and "Tibet" on the other. Activists carrying Chinese flags held counter-demonstrations. "The Olympic Games are about sports. It's not fair to turn them into politics", said Gao Yi, a Chinese second-year doctoral student studying computer science in Paris. Police had drawn up an elaborate plan to keep the torch in a safe "bubble," hoping to prevent the chaos that marred the relay Sunday in London, where police repeatedly scuffled with activists angry about China's human rights record. One protester tried to grab the torch; another tried to put out the flame with what appeared to be a fire extinguisher. Thirty-seven people were arrested. In Paris, about 3,000 officers were deployed on motorcycles, in jogging gear and with inline roller skates. Torchbearers were encircled by several hundred officers. Boats patrolled the Seine River, which slices through the French capital, and a helicopter flew overhead. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has left open the possibility of boycotting the Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing depending on how the situation evolves in Tibet. Life Happens.

The Jayhawks returned to Lawrence from San Antonio after Monday night's 75-68 porttime victory against Memphis. This is the team's third NCAA title and the first title since 1988. BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com Thousands of fans gathered at Memorial Stadium to welcome the KU basketball team back from their 75-68 victory against the Memphis Tigers. A replay of the championship game played on the large screen in the south end zone while fans waited for the team. Caleb Sommerville/KANSAN Near the beginning of overtime on the replay, the team arrived at the stadium and waited behind the stands while the basketball introduction video, which is usually played at Allen Fieldhouse, was played for the fans. After the video, the players walked out to a stage set up in the middle of Kivisto Field. Senior Rodrick Stewart, who broke a kneecap Friday during practice, was driven to the stage in a Gator. appearances. Max Falkenstien, former radio announcer for the Jayhawks, hosted the short ceremony. "Only one other time in history has one school had a team win a BCS football bowl game and the national championship in the same year," Falkenstien said. "Guess what? Last night, we got our swagger back!" Perkins said. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, former player and current assistant coach Danny Manning, Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Athletics Director Lew Perkins made Coach Bill Self also made a speech, giving all the credit to the players and fans. "These guys, other than playing, have had zero fun. All they've done is watch tape, sleep and eat. And play a little bit," Self said, jokingly. Self then had a few players stand up and say a few words. The players thanked their teammates, the fans, and even the band and pep squad. Self introduced junior Mario Chalmers as "Mr. Clutch," who made "the biggest shot in the history of Kansas basketball." "We love you all," Chalmers said. Self also emphasized how much he loved being at Kansas. "I can't imagine there being any place that's better to coach or play at than the University of Kansas," Self said. Fans flocked to the stadium despite 40-degree weather and scattered showers. "I was here 20 years ago, and I'm here again today," Linda Donnelly, Topeka resident said. Jon Gregor, Leavenworth resident, said he brought his son, Thomas, because he went to the 1988 championship game and pep rally and wanted Thomas to experience it. "I love the Jayhawks," Thomas Gregor said. Josh Blaisdell, a high school senior from Eudora, said he had been waiting 18 years for KU to win the NCAA Championship. He said he planned to attend KU this fall. "I'm so excited to go now, it's gonna be awesome next year," Blaisdell said. The weather didn't deter fans from supporting their team. "We want to support our boys," said Ashley Katowske, Tonganoxie freshman in high school. Blake Canter, Hutchinson freshman, and a group of his friends braved the rainy weather. "I'm out here in shorts and a T-shirt, I don't care, I'm here for them 100 percent," Canter said.

We ran out of papers yesterday morning and many people were unable to get a copy. Our phones and office were buzzing with requests from students and alumni. We're sorry that many of you were not able to pick up newspapers from our racks. We want papers commemorating this In anticipation of a greater demand for papers caused by the hype surrounding Monday's game, we printed 1,500 extra copies of Tuesday's paper. But even that wasn't enough, so we decided to print 15,000 more copies — which totaled more than twice our usual amount — when we ran out on Tuesday. Those papers are now available in our business office, 119 Stauffer-Flint Hall, and on Kansan.com. great event to be available to everyone. As is our policy every day, students can receive a free copy, and up to four additional copies for 25 cents each. Copies are available for the general public for 25 cents, with a limit of two. We will have sales representatives on hand in our business office from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. today and Thursday to handle requests. Orders placed online will include a $5 shipping and handling fee. We've also posted newspapers for sale for 25 cents on eBay. That was done to thwart other people from selling them for exorbitant prices. Someone took 121 copies from our distribution racks Tuesday morning and posted them for sale on eBay for $10 each. They were removed from the site after our general manager contacted the seller and threatened to pursue legal action. Everyone is entitled to have a copy of the paper, but within limits. The Kansan will take action against anyone who tries to profit from our product. It is unfair to other students who came to campus to get a copy but were unable to obtain one because some individuals took stacks of papers. The money we make from our sales goes to support the cost of our daily production. Our staff is working to produce a special section commemorating the season, which will come out as a special insert in the paper sometime during the next few weeks, and will be available on our Web site as well. We will have other memorabilia available for sale soon, including commemorative posters. Check out The University Daily Kansan or our Web site, www.kansan.com for further details.

I was an undergraduate anthropology major, I thought it was fascinating to learn about other cultures and societies, but what was really fascinating was how it helped me see my own society and the water I was swimming in. 2. What areas of sociology do you specialize in? Social psychology, feminist theory and research methods. 3. What classes are you currently teaching? gender lens bring to society? Feminist theory and research methods. 4. What importance does the The question I'm interested in is how do we know things. Is the way we think about things the only way you could think of it, or the best way to think about it? The gender lens and the way we learn to think about society comes from looking at it from one's perspectives and that helps us see from other WILLIAM R. SCHLEIMER perspectives. Like looking at it from women's perspective and asking to what extent things would look different. 5. Why is the study of sociology important? better understand it. We live in a complex society; the quality of the world we live in is dependent on what we understand. Everyone should take sociology, for survival. 6. You're the author of "Feminist Methodologies for Critical Researchers: Bridging Differences." What was your main goal for the book? Because we're doing it so we My book questions people's assumptions about the best way to build sociological analysis and understanding. I criticize mainstream ways of research and some feminist stereotypes that need to be thought through. Sociology can make our society better, so we should do it. I wanted to create and give people ideas about how to produce better and more useful understanding. 7. Are you currently working on any projects or works? If so, what? I'm interested in understanding how sociologists make their decisions about what to teach, what to research and what services to provide. The way we evaluate scholars shapes what kinds of knowledge gets produced. 8. Do you have any hobbies or unique talents? I've always wanted to quilt, and I've recently finished my first bedside quilt. I like to garden by having my husband dig the hole, I like to think that I'm the ideal person when it comes to gardening. 9. What's one of your favorite things about KU? I think people at KU tend to be very friendly in a positive way; they try to be helpful and cooperative. In the northwest of Argentina sipping malbec (Argentine wine) and writing the book that will make everyone convinced that gender is socially created. Otherwise, I would be a torch singer in a nightclub. I love singing ballads, and I once performed in front of paying audiences singing and dancing.

The Student Senate's Campus Safety Advisory Board recently proposed construction of a crosswalk in front of Naismith Hall to the Lawrence City Commission. The commission has not yet placed the proposal in its agenda. Once it reaches the agenda, approval of the crosswalk could come as early as next month. "I would expect that the city would approve it particularly because KU is willing to pay for it. That's a big point in KU's favor," Public Works Traffic Engineer David Woolsey said. The crosswalk would bisect the median on Naismith Drive between 18th and 19th streets, providing a safer route for pedestrians through the traffic of Naismith Drive. The traffic is a particular concern for residents of Naismith and Oliver halls. Many residents of these halls cross Naismith Drive by jaywalking across the median to the bus stop because it is the shortest and most convenient route. Very few students walk south to the 19th Street stoptail or north to the crosswalk at 18th Street where there are designated crosswalks. Former Nais mith Hall resident Meghan Proehl, San Diego sophomore, knows this problem all too well. Last year, Proehl was hit by a car and "I had to deal with lawyers, insurance companies, physical therapy, and animosity from the girl who hit me because she was charged with a hit-and-run," Proehl said. Proehl isn't the only one who worried about traffic every day. Allison Ho, Topeka sophomore, who lived in Naismith last year, said she agreed that a crosswalk was necessary. "Sometimes the bus would protect you from oncoming traffic, but you have no idea who is barreling down on the other side," Ho said. Funding for of the crosswalk has been an issue from the start. Jim Modig, University of Kansas director of design and construction management, said he thought that the initial approval of the request by the Traffic Safety Commission was largely due to the fact that the Senate offered to pay for it. He said that under city rules and regulations, the commission would not normally approve a crosswalk at a mid-portion of the block, which "[The city] would charge approximately $3,000 for a project of this magnitude, but a private contractor could charge upwards of $6,000." "It's like mowing your own lawn and the park. It sucks that we have to do it but if the city isn't willing to then we need to step in and take care of it." TIM CAST Street division field supervisor Although the Senate is willing to fund the project, Ho doesn't think that students ought to pay for improvements to city streets. knocked to the ground, hitting her head. A member of KU's diving team, Proehl suffered aggravations to an existing back injury. "It's like mowing your own lawn and the park," Ho said. "It sucks that we have to do it but if the city isn't willing to then we need to step in and take care of it." If the commission approves the proposal, Modig said he had hoped to utilize the University's facilities operations to keep costs low, but they were already overcommitted to construction on academic facilities. The city's street division is ALLISON HO Topeka sophomore explained the difficulty in securing funding. " I it is approved it will go onto a long, back-logged list of needed improvements. Once it goes onto that list, we could end up waiting several years before we would ever get considered for funding." Modig said. equally as busy. Tim Cast, field supervisor for the city's street division, said he had an endless amount of work to do and that the city would have to move the crosswalk forward on the agenda to get it built in a reasonable amount of time. If the University has to hire a private contractor, construction costs would dip deep into the pockets of Senate's fee reserve. "[The city] would charge approximately $3,000 for a project of this magnitude, but a private contractor could charge upwards of $6,000," Cast said. Ho said she thought pedestrian safety on a college campus should be placed as top priority because students were walking to class. Proehl agrees. "When I was hit, the police officer let me know it was not uncommon for students to get hit on campus. If Lawrence wants to keep its citizen base, which includes students at KU, it needs to consider our safety," Proehl said. - Edited by Patrick De Oliveira Lawrence City Commissioners approved the Oread Redevelopment Project last night. OREAD INN Lawrence adopts Oread Redevelopment Project Cynthia Boecker, assistant city manager, said Yello Sub and the Crossing would be eligible for demolition as soon as the Oread Inn Project obtains a demolition permit sometime today. Paul Werner, an architect working on the project, said last week that the demolition phase should begin sometime today. He also said that the construction phase should begin sometime in the middle of May. Houses at 1140, 1142 and 1144 Indiana Street and 618, 619 and 620 W. 12th Street will also be demolished. He said he hoped the Oread Inn would be finished by January 2010, but that it would most likely take a little longer. Boecker said 12th Street would be closed to westbound traffic and Indiana Street would be closed to southbound traffic during the demolition phase, but she said she wasn't sure when exactly they would be closed. "They should be closed sometime in the next few weeks, she said. No one involved with the project was available Tuesday night for comment. NATION 一 —Andy Greenhaw Polygamist practitioners feel religious persecution Young members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are seen through a wooden fence as they sit in an open field after kicking a ball around at their temporary housing, Fort Concho National Historic Landmark, in San Angelo, Texas. Tuesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS ELDORADO. Texas — A polygamist compound with hundreds of children was rife with sexual abuse, child welfare officials allege in court documents. The documents released Tuesday also gave details about the hushed phone calls that triggered the raid, by a 16-year-old girl at the West Texas ranch who said her 50-year-old husband beat and raped her. Days after raiding the compound, officials still aren't sure where the girl is. Officials have completed removing all 416 children from the ranch and have won custody of all of them, Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner told reporters in San Angelo, about 40 miles from the compound in Eldorado. investigative supervisor. "Investigators determined that there is a widespread pattern and practice of the (Yearn for Zion) Ranch in which young, minor female residents are conditioned to expect and accept sexual activity with adult men at the ranch upon being spiritually married to them," read the affidavit signed by Lynn McFadden, a Department of Family and Protective Services Children in the sect were deprived of food and forced to sit in closed closets as a form of discipline, the affidavit said. The boys were groomed to be ready to marry underage girls upon adulthood and engage in sexual activity, "resulting in them becoming sexual perpetrators," the affidavit said. Ben Bistline, a Mormom, said the raid is appropriate if children are being forced into marriages. "This situation in Texas is a justifiable raid," he said. "It's religious persecution," said Fischer, who moved to a ranch near Lockney with his two wives and 12 of his children from Hildale, Utah, last year. funded by: SENATE STUDENT April 9,2008 LAWRENCE KANSAS HITTING THE BRICKS TO STOP AIDS WALK 2008 Start and End at Maceli's, 1031 New Hampshire.

Barrett-Gonzalez was a graduate student at the University of Maryland and working when he obtained his first patent. The patent was for a new way to twist rotor blades to reduce vibrations in airplane wings and missile fins. "Sweetheart, we're going out to eat tonight," said Barrett-Gonzalez, an associate professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Kansas, to his wife after he received a $27,000 check from his first patent royalty. "I'm looking forward to many more patents coming from our students." Officials at the University also know how enriching patents can be for a university as well. RON BARRETT-GONZALEZ Associate professor of aerospace engineering Lawrence campus, patents increased from 22 in 2006 to 38 in 2007. At the University of Kansas Medical Center, the numbers went from six patents to 10 in the same time. Halfway through its 2008 fiscal year, the Office of Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property reported that revenue from the University's licenses and patents had exceeded its previous year's revenue of $570,000. In 2006, the office brought in $340,000. Neither compares to the 2005 fiscal year, when the Office of Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property recorded revenue of more than $5.4 million because a company bought the rights to the University's patent to Cyclodextrin, a compound that makes water-insoluble drugs into water-soluble drugs. James Baxendale, director of the technology transfer office, said the number of KU's patents have increased by 30 to 50 percent annually during the last five years. On the During the past five years, the number of patents filed on the Lawrence campus has continued to increase. Researchers filed seven patents in 2003, 11 in 2004, 20 in 2005, 22 in 2006 and 38 in 2007. For the Med Center, researchers filed four in 2003, seven in 2004, seven in 2005, six in 2006 and 10 in 2007. The number of patents issued during the past five years has also seen increases and decreases on both KU campuses. Patents issued on the Lawrence campus were 12 in 2003, 16 in 2004, 11 in 2005, 11 in 2006 and five in 2007. The Med Center has seen a decrease in its number of patents actually issued during the past five years. Patents issued at the Med Center were eight in 2003, six in 2004, three in 2005, two in 2006 and one in 2007. Baxendale said that active licenses had increased as well. He said in 2006 on the Lawrence campus there were 40 licenses that increased in 2007 to 43 active licenses. At the Med Center in 2006 there were 36 licenses that increased to 38 active licenses in 2007. Andrew Torrance, associate professor of law, teaches classes about intellectual property and patent law. He said that to receive a patient, a researcher must meet certain requirements. The invention must be fully described in words and diagrams and also must be useful and commercially viable. "Without patents, there would be fewer inventions that come out of universities," Torrance said. Torrance said if the companies that bought licenses to KU's patients were successful, it would benefit the University, the inventor's department and the KU Research and Graduate Studies programs. He said that the royalties collected from licenses to KU's patents must be split in thirds among the inventor, the inventor's department and KU Research and Graduate Studies. Mark Fisher, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, said he also knew the benefits of receiving a patent. His patent is on the Chaperonin/Osmolyte Protein Folding System, which provides a process of folding proteins to their correct structure. He said that the protein-folding system was highly valuable to the pharmaceutical industry. Fisher said the estimated worth of the proteinfolding system in the market was $20 million to $50 million and that this number could increase if the method could be demonstrated to show it could be used in a broader sense. cuteal chemistry department who has been involved with three start up companies. As a result of Fisher's patented method, he has received private funds of $75,000 from KTEC and a NIH grant of $100,000 for more research. He said he is also applying for $800,000 for more research. Fisher said an East Coast company wants to open up companies in Kansas using his method. Halfway through its 2008 fiscal year, revenue from the University's licenses and patents had exceeded its previous year's revenue of $570,000. Baxendale said that generally the departments related to pharmaceutical sciences brought in the most money as well as the greatest number of patents. He also said that probably the most successful person on campus with patents would be Valentino Stella in the pharma- However, Baxendale said that an increase in the number of patents did not always mean an increase in revenue. He said revenue depended on the delay it took for a patent to make it to the market. Baxendale said that about 60 percent of inventions involved drug development, which could take up to ten years to hit the market; the University would then receive royalties when the invention made it to the market. "Start with 10,000 worldwide different compound inventions and only one will make it to the market and it is very costly." Baxendale said. Baxendale said his office planned to continue to support the inventions that come out of KU's faculty and students. He said the University would continue to recruit faculty to increase its research. Barrett- Gonzalez said he brought in revenue to the University indirectly, but this was not considered royalty money but rather follow-up research. He said he has two projects in progress at the University. Barrett-Gonzalez now has three of his own patents and three pending patents, one of which is through the University. Barrett-Gonzalez said that he encouraged his undergraduate and graduate students to protect their own ideas by filing for patents. "I look forward to many more patents coming from our students," Barrett-Gonzalez said.

The trade group's seasonally adjusted index of pending sales for existing homes fell to 84.6 from January's upwardly revised reading of 86.2. A year earlier, the index stood at 107.6. ASSOCIATED PRESS ful about a recovery in the second half of the year. Wall Street economists surveyed by Thomson/IFR had predicted the index would inch up to a reading of 86.3. A reading of 100 is equal to the average level of sales when the index started. The previous low was August's reading of 85.8, recorded at the height of the credit crunch. "The question was whether things were starting to stabilize," said Global Insight economist Patrick Newport. "Apparently they're not." With house prices falling and credit continuing to tighten, many economists say the housing market is likely to worsen in the coming months, though some remain hope- A for sale sign sits at a home in Montpelier, VT, Tuesday. An industry group said Tuesday that pending U.S. home sales fell in February to the lowest reading since the index began, signaling the housing market distress is not yet over. Newport predicts home sales will fall by another 5 to 10 percent before picking up at the end of the year, while the Realtors group forecasts sales will remain flat in the first half of the year before rebounding strongly in the second half. The Realtors report gives an early indication of how existing home sales are likely to fare for March, because of the typical lag of a month or two between when a buyer signs a home sales contract and the closing of the deal. Moody's Economy.com forecasts sales of existing homes will fall 1.6 percent in March to an annual rate of 4.95 million units, down from 5.03 million units in February. That month's 2.9 percent increase in home sales was the first increase since last July. "Despite recent steps to provide more liquidity to the mortgage market and ease financing constraints for potential buyers, access to credit remains restricted, especially for marginal buyers," Aaron Smith, senior economist at Economy.com, wrote. If job losses prove worse than expected as the economy slows, "the floor forming under home sales could begin to cave in." Lawrence Yun, the Realtors' chief economist, said in a statement that the pending home sales dip "implies we're not out of the woods yet, though an era of successive deep sales declines appears to be over." The Realtors group maintained its prediction that the housing market would pick up in the second half of the year, forecasting improved availability of loans for more expensive houses. It forecasts the median price of a U.S. home — the point at which half homes sell for more money and half for less — will fall 1.4 percent to $215,800. Some analysts say lower home prices are luring bottom-fishers to look for chea deals, but that activity isn't a guaranteed industry booster. >> STATE Fishing tactics cause controversy Jug fishing illegal in Kansas; citizens protest, call law unfair BY LINDSAY SAX editor@kansan.com On a calm lake during a spring evening, fisherman Sean Self sits in his small metal boat. Throwing his pole out and slowly reeling in the line, he feels a fish biting the lure. Quickly he reels in a small bass. Once the fish is in the boat, he takes it off the hook and gently releases it back into the water. This is just another fishing trip for Self. He likes to fish with a rod and reel, but others prefer a more unconventional way of fishing, such as jug fishing. No one in Kansas should be doing this, though, because the state has declared it illegal. Jug fishing employs a free floating flotation device, such as an empty milk jug, with fishing line and hooks suspended below. Jug fishing is legal in three of the four states neighboring Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Missouri, with differing rules in each state. Officials at the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks have considered changing this law. In December 2007, KDWP asked anglers on its blog site: "Should Kansas allow jug fishing?" "Not having very big lakes and if you get a lot of people jugging they would be floating all over the lake and creating trash and making it hard for people to ski and things." Self said. The KDWP meets periodically to discuss the regulations on fishing. Public input is important to the KDWP, and it often asks Kansans their opinions. The KDWP blog states views on jug fishing, but as of now, no KDWP has never approved the method of jug fishing. Kansas has more acres of publicly accessible fishing waters than ever before and more lakes exist now than a generation ago, Mathews said. Throughout the years, fish cultures and fisheries management expertise has improved. This expertise enhanced the KDWP's ability to stock and manage fish populations and improved the variety and quality of Kansas fishing. "As our fish and fish habitat resources increase, anglers and department staff consider new fishing methods to enhance the variety of fishing opportunities available, provided those new fishing methods do not threaten the stability of our fisheries resources," Mathews said. The KDWP proposed the jug fishing topic on its blog to get the public's support or opposition. Mathews said the blog is not a good measure of public support or opposition, but instead allows a variety of opinions to be expressed. voiced their opinion about making jug fishing legal. "We routinely ask for public input before we make a significant change in policies or regulations. The opinions and preferences of our customers are important considerations in any department initiative," Bob Mathews, KDWP chief of information and education, said. "We routinely ask for public input before we make a significant change in policies or regulations." formal proposal has been made. BOB MATHEWS KDWP chief of information and education "Jug fishing sounds like it would be free floating, and that does not sound like it would be easy to monitor or even find at times," said Kipp J. Walters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Park Ranger at Clinton Lake in Lawrence. Two types of similar fishing, both legal in Kansas, are trotlines and limb lines. A trotline is a length of cord with several hooks attached to a tree, stump, or another object in the water. A limb line is a piece of cord with a weight attached to the bottom, and an inner tube at the top with hooks in between. In Kansas, these types are legal if tagged with the person's name and checked frequently. The KDWP decides what policy and regulation changes should occur. An internal committee of KDWP meets periodically to discuss some fishing-related topics and suggestions. In certain cases, Kansas citizens suggest changes that they would like to see. In recent years, Kansas anglers have "Anyone who reads the blog can read a variety of opinions, for and against the idea, to help form their own opinion on the matter," Mathews said. The next next step, if the KDWP decides that jug fishing is good for Kansas, is to propose the change to the KDWP commissioners. The commission is a seven-member group of citizens, appointed by the governor, and conducts public hearings before making decisions on department proposals. Jug fishing has not been formally proposed to the commission. "I do not know whether or when the jug fishing idea will be proposed to the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission. I have not heard of any specific plans to introduce the jug fishing proposal to the commission," Mathews said. Until the KDWP agrees on a jug fishing solution, anglers will have to continue fishing like they do now. Self said he had no problem with this. "I like fishing with a rod because it takes more skill and is more exciting that jugging," Self said. — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld WINATV* THAT IS, A FREAKIN' HUGE, 52", WAY TOO-NICE-FOR-STUDENTS, HIGH-DEF, PLAT SCREEN TV!

Fans as they spilled out into Massachusetts street from businesses, bars and home to celebrate the victory. Police stay busy during madness BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com Police officers stayed busy Monday night even though Massachusetts Street was barricaded from traffic and a storm cut fans' celebrations short. Sgt. Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department said that more police officers were located downtown Monday than on Saturday and that Monday's victory drew more people to the streets. Fellers said more fans took to the roofs, trees and poles. Fellers said he was concerned about people climbing on street sign poles specifically because if a fan had shaken one loose the fan could have hurt himself and other people in the crowd. He also said he was worried about the fans who were climbing on signs above businesses because they could have been electrocuted. Fellers said the low electrical lines in combination with the lightening after the game could have been disastrous for fans on the signs and in the crowds. Fans climbed on several businesses' lighted signs, but as of Tuesday afternoon, Yokohama Sushi, 811 New Hampshire St., was the only business to have reported damage to its sign. U. S. Bank, 900 Massachusetts St., Papa Keno's, 1013 Massachusetts St., and St. Lawrence Dance Academy, 1117 Massachusetts St., all reported broken windows. Presto gas station, 602 W. Ninth St., reported a broken window Saturday. "They only come up, take the beer from your hand and walk off," said Sarah Bracciano, Leawood graduate student. "Very good men." Fellers said overall he thought fans celebrated responsibly in relation to the number of people who were on Massachusetts Street. A few fans said they thought police acted courteously in relation to the amount of illegal activities that were occurring on the streets. Kiley Miller, Kansas City, Kan. graduate student, said she did not think the police could have done much more to control crowds and ensure safety than they did Monday evening. Fellers said he noticed a lot of fireworks, but he said downtown was a relatively safe atmosphere after the game. After Saturday's celebration, at least four residents reported damage to the hoods of their cars and several others reported damage to other areas of their vehicles. Because police blocked traffic to Massachusetts Street, fewer Lawrence residents reported criminal damage to their vehicles than Saturday. Only three residents reported damage to their vehicles. "Inevitably, with a crowd that size, and there is a percentage of those individuals who have consumed alcohol, inevitably you will have some things like that occur," Fellers said. Fellers said he was not surprised about the amount of damage that was done to vehicles after the games. Fellers said the number of fans who partied downtown in the dreary weather did not surprise him. He said he thought fans would have filled the streets even if the rain was pouring. Edited by Patrick De Oliveira CONGRESS No timetable set for withdrawl from Iraq ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The top U.S. commander in Iraq told Congress Tuesday that hard-won gains in the war zone are too fragile to promise any troop pullouts beyond this summer, holding his ground against impatient Democrats and refusing to commit to more withdrawals before President Bush leaves office in January. Army Gen. David Petraeus painted a picture of a nation struggling to suppress violence among its own people and to move toward the political reconciliation that Bush's said a year ago was the ultimate aim of his new Iraq strategy, which included sending more than 20,000 extra combat troops. Security is getting better, and Iraq's own forces are becoming more able, Petraeus said. But he also ticked off a list of reasons for worry, including the threat of a resurgence of Sunni or Shiite extremist violence. He highlighted Iran as a special concern, for its training and equipping of extremists. But when it came to promising or predicting a timetable for further withdrawals, Petraeus didn't budge. He said he had recommended to Bush that he complete, by the end of July, the withdrawal of the 20,000 extra troops. Beyond that, the general proposed a 45-day period of "consolidation and evaluation," to be followed by an indefinite period of assessment before he would recommend any further pullouts. CRIME Celebrity pathologist to be retried for fraud ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — A federal judge declared a mistrial Tuesday in the fraud case against celebrity pathologist Cyril Wecht, who was accused of using his staff at the county coroner's office to do work for his lucrative private practice. Federal prosecutors said they were ready to retry Wecht, who gained fame by inquiring into the deaths of well-known figures including Elvis Presley, JonBenet Ramsey and Vincent Foster. A new trial date was set for May 27. U. S. District Judge Arthur Schwab made the announcement after the jurors, for the second time, gave him a note saying they were unable to reach a verdict on any of the charges against Wecht. Jurors deliberated the 41 counts for more than 50 hdurs over 11 days. Wecht's lead attorney called the prosecutors' decision to retry Wecht "a bizarre ending to one of the most unfair trials in history." Wecht, who resigned as county coroner after the federal charges were filed in 2006, said he continued to be hired by other Pennsylvania prosecutors and private parties during nearly three months of jury selection, trial testimony and deliberations. Wecht said he conducted 100 autopsies and testified in two other counties in homicide cases. PUREX LAUNDRY DETERGENT 2X CONCENTRATED 50 oz.

Max Rinkel INTERNATIONAL Clooney, Brown discuss Darfur Actor requests a protest of China's foreign policy ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — George Clooney took a break from promoting his latest film Tuesday to meet with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, as he continued pressing governments to speak out about China's foreign policy in Sudan. The two met as the Olympic torch arrived in San Francisco for the only North American stop in the Beijing Olympic torch relay, which has been dogged by human rights protesters in London, Paris and Istanbul. red carpet for the British premiere of his new film, "Leatherheads." "The situation in Darfur is unacceptable. The rebels and government continue to openly flout UNSC resolutions through attacks on civilians." Brown praised the 46-year-old actor's role in drawing attention to violence in Darfur. Only 9,200 troops and police of the 26,000 authorized are on the ground in Darfur, where violent conflict since 2003 has displaced some 4.27 million civilians and left more than 200,000 people dead. The protests have been fueled by anger over China's human rights record, its grip on Tibet, and China's support for Sudan despite years of bloodshed in the country's western Darfur region. "I think the protests are good. They've been warned for a while that there was going to be some protests," Clooney told reporters on the GORDON BROWN Prime Minister of Great Britain Brown agreed the deployment was moving too slowly, and that humanitarian aid efforts were being hampered by poor access for aid workers. "The situation in Darfur is unacceptable," Brown said after a meeting with Clooney, announced only after it took place. "The rebels and government continue to openly flout UNSC (United Nations Security Council) resolutions through attacks on civilians," Brown said in a statement. Brown praised Clooney's role "in drawing attention to this crisis — this is a humanitarian tragedy of colossal proportions and the world must take note and act." Clooney — who has been named a U.N. peace envoy — has publicly spoken several times about the crisis in Darfur, where more than 200,000 people have been killed and about 2.5 million people displaced in three years of fighting between African rebels and government troops allied with Arab militia known as jandaweed. China is a major trading partner with Sudan, and Beijing has resisted United Nations attempts to force Sudan to accept U.N. peacekeepers in Darfur. Brown said Britain was working with the international community and others to pressure all sides in the conflict to agree to a cease fire, start peace talks and allow peacekeepers to deploy. Fighting in Darfur began in 2003 when ethnic African tribesman took up arms, complaining of decades of discrimination by Sudan's Arab-dominated government. The government is accused of unleashing militia forces to commit atrocities against ethnic African communities in the fight with rebel groups.

After my anticipated alarm screams at me, I switch it off and lie there to dread the day that will be filled with exaggerated worry and stress. After I stand up, my heart begins to pound and my palms begin to sweat. The day is new, now I have to get through it. This is how I work, and how I think, because I, along with 40 million American adults, have an anxiety disorder. The disorder I've recently been diagnosed with is called Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Shortness of breath, irritability, muscle tension, fatigue, heart palpitations and extreme worry are all indicators of anxiety, but when one is diagnosed with a disorder, these symptoms are frequent and long-term. If I played horribly during a basketball game, or didn't get an 'A' on a test, I'd torture myself by thinking I was worthless, and eventually, I started to believe it. There is no clear cause of why the anxiety develops, but the disorder usually starts by having negative anticipations of the future and excessive worry. Also, expecting the worst as if it will happen or is happening is also a huge indication of GAD. Tracing my past, I've realized GAD started to develop in junior high. I remember putting extreme pressure on myself in almost every situation at school, and everything I did was never good enough. After my confidence plummeted, my negativity increased, and because my outlook on my future never looked promising to me, I began to worry. I kept telling myself to "suck it up" and get over it, but it kept getting worse. Negativity and worry started to consume me. Last year, I began college, and the changes only fueled my disorder. I felt as if I were slowly destroying myself by overly worrying about college demands. I couldn't focus in class, my grades weren't where I wanted them to be, my relationship with my family was deteriorating, and I isolated myself from my close friends. Everything seemed to be caving in until I finally broke down and saw a therapist. To my surprise, many people I've talked to have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder as well. "I was diagnosed at 14," Anna Sobering, Dallas sophomore, said "I hated meeting new people, I never wanted to sleep over at other people's houses, and I wouldn't want to go to summer camps. My parents didn't understand me at first, so I thought I was going crazy. Fortunately, they finally understood and I saw a therapist and was put on medication." But don't fret about the costs. The University actually provides assistance with a program called Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). They provide care for the mind, and the first consultation is free. Anytime after that, an individual session is $11. Also, there is a world of helpful advice located under the Watkins Health Center Web site for coping with stress. Even if a disorder isn't the case, it wouldn't hurt to take a look. Taking prescribed medication and seeing a therapist may seem dramatic. But by doing so, it's a huge relief. Even therapists have therapists, and it seems everyone, no matter how together they have it, could benefit from talking to someone professional. Osterhaus is a Seneca sophomore in journalism.

COMMENTARY HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO LEARN IF YOU PLAY WARCRAFT ALL HOUR? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO UP MY LEVELS IF I LEARN ALL HOUR? Tyler Dohering Get off your laptops and into your classes PETER SCHAUSEN KIRSTEN HUDSON What's more distracting than noticing your teacher's fly is undone while they unknowingly continue the entire lecture? Laptops. The use of laptops shouldn't be allowed during class. Whether you want to admit it, they're distracting. Distractions from laptops have made some teachers at the University ban students from using them during their classes. With wireless Internet available in most classrooms, it's easy to fix a boring lecture with a double-click on that Internet icon. Yet, being distracted in this way is like coming to class and not taking notes. I've never understood this. Unless you have some seriously superior brain power and can record an entire lecture on your brain without taking notes, why do you bother coming to class? Laptops are the same. If you're going to surf Facebook the whole time, why not do it in your sweats at home rather than wasting your time in class? Ted Boone, professor of business, said that he did not allow the use of laptops or other electronic devices during his Introduction to Information Systems course. He said that students are too easily distracted by e-mail, text messaging, Web browsing, etc. Unless the course can directly benefit from the use of computers, all too often "the computer becomes a distraction instead of an enhancement to learning," he said. Charles Marsh, professor of journalism, doesn't ban laptops from his classes, but does ask students who use them to sit at the back of the classroom so as not to distract others. Marsh said he had seen students doing everything from shopping at Nordstrom to watching baseball. When laptop users are doing something to distract other students, "that's where laptop use crosses the line," he said. True, there are plenty of other ways besides laptops to be distracted during class. Doodling, doing the SuDoku or daydreaming can all too easily make you tune out your professor's voice. Yet, eliminating laptops is more important because, unless you fall asleep and start drooling, at least daydreaming doesn't distract other students as well. Computers are important. In fact, sometimes I get fidgety if I'm away from a computer too long. I probably couldn't go a day without getting on one. I can, however, manage to restrain myself for 50 minutes. than a year ago, but because the guy beside me spent the entire period shopping for ridiculously large pocketknives on his laptop. Rather than listening to the professor, I spent the whole class in silent fear, wondering if he was going to stab me for having the audacity to sit next to him. My most memorable laptop experience was during my first class at the University. It was in Budig 120, the largest lecture hall on campus. The size of the room amazed me so much that I was too nervous to scale the steps to a higher seat. So I sat in the front, in a row with only two seats beside a guy with a laptop on his desk. I don't remember anything about that class, not because it was more While most students' experiences probably aren't quite so dramatic, students can still easily be distracted by what others are viewing on their laptops.

Beijing is devastating its credibility a la "SARS 2003" by denying any legitimate causes for discontent and depicting Tibetan unrest as unprovoked "terrorist" attacks coordinated by the Dalai Lama. Compared with many government responses, the West is saying disappointingly little about why Tibetan monks would be willing to risk their personal freedoms. But as China has shown very little initiative of its own for democratic reform, the West may come to regret having offered its silence on human-rights issues at such a cheap price. —Taipei (Taiwan) Times April 2 editorial FREE FOR ALL To contribute to Free For All, visit Kansan.com or call 785-864-0500.

Working in secret, federal archaeologists have dug up the remains of dozens of soldiers and children near a Civil War-era fort after an informant tipped them off about widespread grave-looting. The exhumations, conducted from August to October, removed 67 skeletons from the parched desert soil around Fort Craig -39 men, two women and 26 infants and children, according to two federal archaeologists who helped with the dig. The government kept its exhumation of the unmarked cemetery near the historic New Mexico fort out of the public's eye for months to prevent more thefts. The investigation began with a tip about an amateur historian who had displayed the mummified remains of a black soldier, draped in a Civil War-era uniform, in his house. Investigators say the historian, Dee Brecheisen, may have been a prolific looter who spotted historical sites from his plane. Brecheisen died in 2004 and although it was not clear whether the looting continued after his death, authorities exhued the unprotected site to prevent future thefts. The remains are being studied by Bureau of Reclamation scientists, who are piecing together information on their identities. They will eventually be reburied at other national cemeteries. Most of the men are believed to have been soldiers — Fort Craig protected settlers in the West from American Indian raids and played a role in the Civil War. Alberts described seeing the mummified remains of a black soldier with patches of brown flesh clinging to facial bones and curly hair on top of its skull. Alberts said the body had come from Fort Craig. Weeks later, Hanson and fellow archaeologist Mark Hungerford surveyed the cemetery site and found numerous holes — evidence of unauthorized digging. While records show the cemetery had been disinterred twice by the Army in the late 1800s, it wasn't known how many bodies remained. Hanson said ground-penetrating radar revealed the Army left behind about one-third of the bodies. Brecheisen's son told authorities where the mummified remains from his father's home were, and a person who hasn't been publicly identified handed over a more-than-century-old skull packaged in a brown paper bag. Alberts said that skull, which still had hair attached, was the one hed seen years earlier. Authorities also found some Civil War and American Indian artifacts in Brecheisen's home, but the display rooms that showcased B This image provided by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation shows tractors and contractors clearing the ground in August 2007.

Gas could reach $4 per gallon ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Retail gas prices could climb as high as $4 a gallon this summer, but prices at such lofty levels will make many Americans think twice about hitting the road this summer, the Energy Department said Tuesday. High prices and a weak economy are expected to cut demand for gasoline by about 0.4 percent during the peak summer driving season, the department's Energy Information Administration said in a monthly report on petroleum supplies and demand. Overall consumption of petroleum products will drop by 90,000 barrels a day this year. Previously, the EIA had projected petroleum consumption would rise by 40,000 barrels a day. Average monthly gas prices will peak around $3.60 a gallon in June, the EIA said. However, prices could rise much higher than that at times. "It is important to note ... that even if the national average monthly gasoline price peaks around $3.60 per gallon this summer, it is possible that prices at some point will cross the $4 per gallon threshold," the EIA said. The government had previously estimated that average monthly prices would peak near $3.50 a gallon. Many analysts predict prices will peak close to $4 a gallon. On Tuesday, gas prices slipped slightly to a national average of $3.331 a gallon from Monday's record of $3.339, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices are 55 cents higher than a year ago. Diesel prices, which are already averaging more than $4 a gallon nationwide, will average $3.62 a gallon this year, up 74 cents from 2007, the EIA said. Diesel fuel is used to transport the vast majority of the world's food, consumer and industrial products. High diesel prices are one of the reasons food prices are soaring. Crude oil prices are the biggest reason gas and diesel prices are rising, the EIA said. Oil is now expected to average $101 a barrel this year, up from the EIAs previous projection of $94. Next year, the EIA expects oil to average $92.50 a barrel, up from a previous projection of $86. On Tuesday, light, sweet crude for May delivery fell 13 cents to $108.96 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. But prices fluctuated as investors kept an eye on the dollar and on Iran, which announced plans to expand its uranium enrichment program. Prices rose to a trading record of $111.80 a barrel last month. While high prices are damping demand in the U.S., petroleum consumption remains strong in China, India, Russia and the Middle East, the EIA said. "The combination of rising world oil consumption and low surplus production capacity is putting upward pressure on oil prices," the EIA report said. "The flow of investment money into commodities has contributed to crude oil price volatility." The EIA also projected that OPEC oil production will average 32.3 million barrels a day this year, up about 100,000 barrels a day from previous forecasts. STUDENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

The flame arrived in San Francisco shortly before 4 a.m. and was immediately put in a vehicle to be whisked away to a secret location, San Francisco Olympic Torch Relay Committee spokesman David Perry said. Security was heightened because several protests were planned before the relay. "We treated it like a head of state visit," airport spokesman Mike McCarron said. No protesters greeted the flame at the airport, but hours later hundreds gathered in United Nations Plaza, a pedestrian area near City Hall, to call on China to cease its heavy-handed rule of Tibet. They also expressed fears that the torch's planned route through Tibet would lead to arrests and violent measures by Chinese officials trying to stifle dissent. "All the bloodshed in Tibet, they don't need the torch there to cause more bloodshed. We're here because we want George Bush and other world leaders to pay attention to what is going on inside Tibet," said Ngawang Norbu, a Tibetan from Boston.

SCIENCE Simultaneous kidney transplant deemed a success after surgery ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Johns Hopkins surgeons transplanted a half-dozen kidneys simultaneously, an operation believed to be the first of its kind, hospital officials announced Tuesday. The transplants conducted Saturday were made possible when a so-called altruistic donor, who was willing to donate to anyone, was found to be a match for one of six transplant candidates. Five of the candidates had a willing donor whose kidney was incompatible with their particular friend or relative, but a match for another of the six. The 10-hour surgeries used six operating rooms and nine surgical teams. "All 12 are doing great, the six kidneys are working well," said Dr. Robert Montgomery, director of Hopkins' transplant center and head of the transplant team. organs taken from people who have died,but doctors prefer organs from live donors because the success rates are higher. The donors and recipients in the six-way transplant were matched using a living-donor system developed at Johns Hopkins. "The waiting list for a kidney is very long and too many people die while waiting." The six-way transplant follows a quintuple transplant performed in 2006 at the hospital and several triple transplants. Last week, doctors at Chicago's JEANNE HEISE Wife of chief of staff Josh Bolten Montgomery said the surgeries are performed simultaneously to ensure no one backs out after their loved one has received a kidney.

Silver says the Assembly is rejecting Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposal to charge a fee to reduce traffic in Manhattan. NEW YORK — Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to charge drivers extra tolls to enter Manhattan's most congested neighborhoods earned him invitations to speak at such gatherings as the U.N. climate conference and raised his profile as he considered a presidential run. Proposal to place tolls in Manhattan fails to pass TOMMY BOWTLE But the plan died Monday when Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver in Albany announced his chamber wouldn't take up the proposal because of strong opposition within the conference dominated by New York City Democrats. "A lot of people would still rather do nothing. It is sad but true. It takes courage to ask people to change — even if it won't really cost them much. Political leaders today are afraid of their constituents," he said. ASSOCIATED PRESS In lobbying for his plan, Bloomberg displayed a short fuse with anyone who didn't support the idea, painting opponents as "stupid" people who didn't care about the environment, progress and the health of asthma-afflicted children. The traffic fee proposal, known as congestion pricing, called for drivers of cars to pay $8, and trucks $21, to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays. Opponents argued it was an unfair tax on middle-class commuters who drive to work for lack of mass transit options in their neighborhoods. by about 6 percent and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue for transportation projects. Bloomberg shrugged off criticism that the fee was too high by comparing it to the price of a movie. U. S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters had said the administration hoped congestion pricing in New York could serve as a model for other cities nationwide. Charging drivers fees in congested city centers is a concept that has gained popularity around the world but has yet to be tried on a major scale in a large U.S. city. pricing before a midnight deadline on Monday, the state appeared to have forfeited an offer of $354 million in federal money to help kickstart the initiative. By failing to pass congestion- But in the weeks leading up to the Earth Day 2007 speech in which he unveiled the plan, Bloomberg became convinced it was something New York City had to try, promising to "fight like heck" to get it done. Bloomberg, an independent with less than two years left in his second term, has long portrayed himself as a maverick leader unfazed by forging ahead with unpopular policy decisions, such as banning smoking in bars and clubs and outlawing trans fats in restaurants. City officials estimated congestion pricing would reduce traffic Bloomberg also was known to hint that lawmakers who backed his legislative efforts could be rewarded down the line with his political and monetary support, while those who didn't fall in line could suffer the consequences. Silver, a Democrat, was also involved in another Bloomberg failure: The mayor's 2005 attempt to build a new football stadium and conference center on Manhattan's West Side collapsed without Silver's support.

Newspapers highly discourage anonymous remarks, for instance, and editors are more likely than readers to want that principle applied to reader comments online, according to the Online Journalism Credibility Study released Tuesday by the Associated Press Managing Editors group and the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri. Some 70 percent of editors surveyed said requiring commenters to disclose their identities would support good journalism, while only 45 percent of the public did. Similarly, 58 percent of editors said letting journalists join online conversations and give personal views would harm journalism, but only 36 percent of the public agreed. Expressions of personal views seem to help boost readers' interest and trust in Web sites, said John 'Bart' Bartosek, editor of The Palm Beach Post in West Palm Beach, Fla., and chairman of the credibility committee for the AP managing editors group. "That's contrary to most of the traditions we've all grown up with, to keep our opinions, viewpoints and personal lives out of our story," Bartosek said. "There's some indication that readers are looking for something more online. Whether it's information about our expertise, our knowledge, our background, I'm not really sure." The study was designed to help gauge the priorities and practices newspapers should be establishing as they increasingly blend their print and Web operations. It produced few answers on how editors can meet reader expectations online without compromising credibility. The study's sponsors said the results should lead to further research and newsroom discussions. 10C OFF EVERY GALLON OF GAS! Discounted Gas!! Discounted Washes!!

The Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association hopes its new wine promotion brings visitors to north Alabama, and it's staying out of the moral debate over alcohol. "We look at this purely from the tourist perspective," said Dana Lee Jennings, CEO of the association. "It's about introducing a new tourism venue. Folks have enjoyed going through other states and visiting their wineries and shops with homemade cheeses and other things." Tourist brochures will list the eight participating wineries in Alabama, and visitors will get a "passport" for workers to stamp. {The Place To Be Cool} Voted Top of the Hill 2007 Best Apartment Complex by KU Students Hurry Before Apartments are Gone! $250 Savings LIMITED time (fall leases) Our LuxURY Amenities!

Monday's victory was Self's first NCAA National Championship title. Cowboys are in the past Rumors about leaving for Oklahoma don't worry Self BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO - The call came at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, 45 minutes after Bill Self fell asleep. The voice on the other end was none other than President George W. Bush. He talked to Self about the championship and invited the team to visit the White House sometime in the next month. BENNETT L. HOWARD Bill Self "He was great," Self said. Unfortunately for Self, Bush was about the only person wanting to discuss Monday nights victory against Memphis. An hour after the conversation with the president, Self got grilled with questions about the Oklahoma State coaching vacancy and the rumored money being offered from booster T. "I still to this day don't see myself as a viable candidate for this position," Self said. "And that's if they even call." "I still to this day don't see myself as a viable candidate for this position. And that's if they even call." Boone Pickens. Just as he has several times in the past week, Self said he hadn't been contacted about the job. BILL SELF Men's Basketball Coach The Tulsa World reported that with Pickens' money Oklahoma State was prepared to offer a $6 million signing bonus to Self and a contract that would pay him $3.5 million a year. "If they called, I would answer the phone," Self said. "I certainly wouldn't answer the phone unless Kansas knew what was going on." In the next few days, Self plans to meet with Athletic Director Lew Perkins to discuss his contract, which pays him $1.375 million per year for the next three years. A meeting with Perkins after the season has been the plan since the start of the year. With a national championship on his resume and an ongoing courtship from a rich suitor, you'd have to think Self would have all the leverage in the world in those negotiations. He doesn't see it like that. Self just hopes sion. changes ahead If Self stays, the team is still unlikely to be whole next season. Five seniors will be gone for sure, and it's likely that three underclassmen could leave early for the NBA draft: Juniors Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush and sophomore Darrell Arthur. Yahoo Sports already reported that two sources close to Rush said he already decided he was going pro. There haven't been any announcements about Arthur or Chalmers. "If that happens then that happens," Self said about players leaving early. "I want to do what's best for the families. We have a couple guys, maybe three that have an opportunity to go do something." like that. Self just hopes for an extension. Rush is projected to go anywhere from the middle of the first round to the early second round. Arthur could go as high as the late lottery or as low as the late first round. Chalmers has been projected as a late first round pick, but his stock is almost certain to rise after being named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. When he played at Oklahoma State in the early '80s and worked as an assistant for seven years, Self wondered what it would be like to coach his alma mater. Those dreams were in the past though. Self said he hasn't thought about the Cowboys for a long time. Mark Dent "I have the best job," Self said. "I have tradition, and I love the people I work with. My family is happy. I'm not evaluating anything else." Especially now. Self has thought about the NBA in the past, in addition to Oklahoma State, but not anymore. Three events happened this year that he said strengthened his ties to Kansas - the 110 year reunion in February, Senior Night with his first senior class at any of his coaching stops and, of course, the national championship. "I have the best job.I have tradition, and I love the people I work with.My family is happy. I'm not evaluating anything else." BILL SELF Men's Basketball Coach He's going to enjoy celebrating that accomplishment, regardless of the all the talk about Oklahoma State. "It's not hanging over my head," Self said. "It hasn't been a distraction in the least and I'm not going to allow it to worry me." -Edited by Russell Davies MEN'S BASKETBALL NAL ROO Memphis' Pierre Niles sits on the bench as the celebration begins for Kansas at the conclusion of the championship game at the NCAA college basketball Final Four Monday in San Antonio.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Major league pitchers will soon have added incentive to strike out batters. Drugmaker Bayer AG will announce plans Wednesday to donate $10 to prostate cancer research for every strikeout during the regular season this year. Major League Baseball estimates the four-year partnership could add up to a little more than $300,000 per year. There were 32,189 strikeouts during the regular season in 2007, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Bayer, based in Leverkusen, Germany, will give an additional $1 million to the Prostate Cancer Foundation if a pitcher sets a new record by striking out 21 batters in a game. average of 15 percent annually for the past several years, Kolpon said. Bayer spends about $40 million a year on media advertising for One-A-Day products.

The partnership will be featured in MLB-produced TV vignettes during each national broadcast of a game, Kolpon said. MLB representatives did not immediately return calls for comment. More than 2 million American men have prostate cancer, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. More than 186,000 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and more than 28,000 men will die from it, the foundation says.

But the modern Grand Slam that Arnold Palmer created on his way to the 1960 British Open means doing it in a calendar year. Except for 1971, when the PGA Championship was held in February in south Florida, that means it starts with the Masters.

The interview is transcribed below. Shawn Shroyer: The first thing I have to ask is, who in the world is Peter Wazlawick, who you referenced as your favorite athlete in last week's KU baseball questionnaire? Erik Morrison: He's probably one of my best friends out of baseball out here at Kansas. I met him through a roommate of mine and he's just been a real supportive friend out here and a good golfing buddy. He's always down to golf any time I want to golf. He's not the most coordinated guy on the planet, so I kind of threw that in there to give him a little press. SS: Well, you mentioned golf, so what do you think about Tiger Woods' chances of pulling off the grand slam this year? EM: That's a tough feat, but if anybody can do it, it's that guy. That's probably the most admired sports figure in sports today. I remember I was out at the 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and it was a rainout. Him and Payne Stewart - it was Payne Stewart's last tourney there - were both sitting in the clubhouse and me and my buddy, we were in eighth grade, you know, little kids trying to peek in the doors and they came out, signed a couple things for us and gave us each a golf ball. SS: So, in your four years here in Kansas, in the Midwest, what's the one thing you miss most about California? EM: I miss the smell of the ocean and a home-cooked meal. I got real close to my brother right until I left and I miss seeing him. He's got a kid now and I wish I could kind of be there to see his kid grow up and stuff. But I'm out here doing my thing and he's back there doing his thing. EM: That it really is as flat as everybody says. I lived out in the mountains where I could ride my skateboard 10 minutes to the beach - out of the mountains and into the water. SS: And going back four years, there are a lot of stereotypes about the Midwest, so what was the one thing that maybe surprised you that you didn't expect about Kansas? SS: So, after this season, you're probably going to begin a professional baseball career outside of Kansas. Is there anything you're going to miss about Kansas? EM: I'm always going to have ties here. This has just been a fabulous experience for me to come out here and spend my tenure here at Kansas. I'll be here in the offseason. I got an internship in Kansas City next fall out at Hallbrook Country Club, so I'll be here working out. As long as I'm playing baseball, I'll probably be in Lawrence in the offseason working out, just because of the amenities and facilities are here for me to use. SS: I know right now you're focused on the season, focused on the moment, but last year you were drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates - and bless their hearts, they're doing the best they can - but is there any team you'd prefer draft you this year? EM: I'd say a West Coast team, just because I grew up on the West Coast and most of their minor league affiliates are on the West Coast and their Spring Training is in Arizona. That's the warm part of the country and that's what I want to get back to. It's tough playing baseball in the frigid cold weather, so I'd like to go to a West Coast team, but it really doesn't matter. I really hope someone gives me an opportunity and I'll let my play speak for itself and let it carry me as far as it can carry me. PARKING 》 MLB New York Yankees Derek Jeter tosses his bat after striking out with the loads loaded to end the second inning against the Tampa Bay Rays Saturday at Yankee Stadium. Leg injury to sideline Jeter during Yankees trip to KC ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Derek Jeter will miss at least three games and possibly more with a strained left quadriceps, but the New York Yankees are not planning to put their eight-time All-Star shortstop on the DL. "He probably won't be available this series," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday before the New York played the Kansas City Royals. "We'll shoot for the Red Sox. We'll see where he's at after a couple of days and try to make an evaluation then." Jeter said he hurt the muscle "I haven't tried to do anything yet. I've got to go in the trainers room and see what they tell me," he said. New York did get back first baseman Jason Giambi after a two-day absence. He had been out with a sore left groin. were both running great," Girardi said. "The conditions are the same for everybody. You're never sure why something happens. But they happen, and you have to deal with it." Girardi said he did not know whether cold weather had contributed to the problems. Wilson Betemit replaced Jeter in the lineup and was hitting eighth. In your face! "They had no issues in spring training when it was warm. They Girardi said he had not discussed the possibility of moving Alex Rodriguez, an All-Star shortstop who switched to third when he was traded to the Yankees in 2004. "We're just thinking he's been our third baseman the last few years. He's comfortable playing third," Girard said. "I don't see it being a problem with him not feeling comfortable playing short."

NHL "They get great energy from him, and what they accomplished at the end of the season was tremendous. It's a big challenge. We'll welcome the challenge." "You don't want to think too much about it," Flyers goalie Martin Biron said of the 22-year-old Ovechkin, who led the NHL with 65 goals and 112 points. "There's other guys on that team that definitely have been assets and can play the game well with Ovechkin. The beef and brawn reign in the West. Back East is where the kids skate and play with abandon. Including, of course, Alex The Great, who is ready for his coming out party. That is, if he and the Washington Capitals have anything left after racing for weeks just to get into the playoffs. Now it's time for his postseason debut, which will take place Friday night in the nation's capital against the Philadelphia Flyers. Behind Ovechkin's offense, Washington chased down the Carolina Hurricanes for the Southeast Division title with an 11-1 finish. No story down the stretch was more compelling than Alex Ovechkin's brilliant play in helping the Capitals erase a dismal first half that cost a coach a job and left the club just a step above last place. 25 Sidney Crosby, edged for rookie of the year honors by Ovechkin two seasons ago, has the Pittsburgh Penguins playing postseason hockey for a second straight year. The first-round opponent is the same The Ducks boast a bruising lineup featuring hulking defenseman Chris Pronger and hard-shooting blue liner Francois Beauchemin. Up front, Anaheim also has size and strength with Todd Bertuzzi, Ryan Getzlaf and Rob Niedermayer. This could be the time the San Jose Sharks finally stand in someone's way and claim the championship many predicted for them again and again. That group also has plenty of skill that is complemented by forward Teemu Selanne and defenseman Scott Niedermayer, who both cut short their early retirements to return midseason for a shot at another ring. "It's very much talked about in our locker room," said forward Jeremy Roenick, in his first season with the Sharks. "From what I understand, the confidence is much greater than it had been in the past. The guys just feel this is a much more all-around, well-rounded team, and we feel much better about ourselves going into the playoffs." The rough road will start with a matchup with the Dallas Stars, a championship-caliber club that stumbled to the regular-season finish line. After completing a big trade that brought high-scoring forward Brad Richards to Dallas from Tampa Bay, the Stars went 6-8-2. And with so much attention placed on San Jose, Anaheim and Dallas, it is easy to overlook the Detroit Red Wings - you know, the team with the best record in the NHL for the sixth time in 13 seasons. That run ended against the Anaheim Ducks, back to defend their title as the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference. They could repeat, but there will be plenty of obstacles before they think about who will get out of the East. as 2007, but this time the second-seeded Penguins expect to have a lot more to dish out to the reeling Ottawa Senators. Sid the Kid captured the scoring title and MVP honors last year, but the now 20-year-old captain and the Penguins were gone in five games. The Senators then advanced to the Stanley Cup finals. With so many strong teams, there is widespread belief whoever survives in the West will roll over the East champion. Columbus Blue Jackets coach Ken Hitchcock doesn't buy it. "One of the problems when you have so many good teams, that's what is left of your team at the end of the three series that you have to play in isn't much," he said. "A lot of it depends on the damage that is done in some of these series." The Red Wings jumped to a huge lead and coasted to the finish with 115 points, seven more than the Sharks, who closed the regular season with an 18-2-2 spurt. Detroit will face Central Division foe Nashville in a best-of-seven series starting Thursday in Hockeytown. Pittsburgh and No. 7 Ottawa will get things started Wednesday, along with the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers in a 4 vs. 5 Eastern Conference border battle. Opera has never rocked like this!

Monday in San Antonio, Kansas won 75-68. When Chicagoans face-off In the clutch, Collins made his shots,Rose did not 4B MEN'S BASKETBALL CHICAGO TRIBUNE COPYRIGHT CHICAGO TRIBUNE AIII RIGHTS RESERVED The kid from Chicago had the championship right in his hands. He did make the next one, but Memphis now had only a three-point lead. That left the door open for a Kansas man to make a three-point shot and send Monday night's NCAA tournament title shootout at the Alamodome into overtime. Derrick Rose bounced the ball exhaled ... then shot a free throw that went in and out. Whereupon the other kid from Chicago had the championship right in his hands. Sherron Collins bounced the ball, exhaled ... then shot a free throw that went in, out, in, off the rim, up against the glass and back in. He then made another, and in a memorable championship game, Collins dribbled away the final seconds of a 75-68 overtime triumph for Kansas all by himself. The 5-foot-10-inch Collins was a three-sport high school star at Crane, but he was not supposed to be the star of this game. He wasn't even in the starting lineup. But the valuable sixth man spent 34 minutes on the floor for the Jayhawks. He came through in the clutch when so many others around him did not. It was he who dribbled furiously downcourt with the ball after Rose's missed free throw gave Kansas a last chance with 10.8 seconds to go. "I just did what Coach told me to do." Collins said afterward of Bill Self, the former Illinois coach who bagged his first NCAA championship. Collins stumbled as the clock ticked down. Off-balance, he batted the ball out to Mario Chalmers, who drained a three-point shot with 2.1 seconds left. That tied the score at 63-all and saved Kansas's season. air as fireworks exploded inside the arena. "That's as good a team as there is," Self said of the losing side. "If we played 10 times, it would probably go 5-5." Memphis had come to the brink of a championship and a 39th victory, an NCAA single-season record. Only one team, Tennessee, had been able to beat the Tigers all season. And then it was Collins again whose two free throws—including that crazy, will-wor-t-it first one—put the lajhawks' party on ice with 18.2 seconds remaining in the overtime period. The small sophomore came up with a big rebound and was fouled—well, not so much fouled as flattened. "I just did what Coach told me to do." SHERRON COLLINS Sophomore guard "I told them, 'You guys did everything right.'" Mow. After his free throws, Rose let fly a long shot that was too short and too late. The ball ended up in Collins' grasp again, and he merrily bounced it for the final seconds, thrusting a fist in the Memphis coach John Calipari said. "Ten seconds to go, we're thinking we'rerenational champs. And then a kid makes a shot and, all of a sudden, we're not." He had skipped Sunday's practice with a tummy ache, taking quite a bit of kidding from his Memphis teammates and coaches for making himself ill with a diet of Gummy Bears. Rose, the fab freshman who was likely playing in his last collegiate game, came within seconds of doing what LeBron James never did, what Kobe Bryant never did ... namely, winning and wearing an NCAA national crown. It would have given the 19-year-old from Simeon back-to-back-to-back championships, coupled with his two Illinois high school titles. Rose didn't do much in the first half Monday, attempting only four shots as his Tigers went into the locker room trailing 33-28. Late in the contest, though, Rose made one of those spectacular moves that have some NBA scouts believing he could become another James, another Bryant. He took an inbounds pass and, with the shot clock about to expire, fired up an awkward jump shot that banked in off the glass. It gave Memphis a 56-49 advantage with 4 minutes 14 seconds to play—and, in many eyes, the game. Indeed, the Tigers were still up by seven with less than two minutes to go. They hung onto the lead for the entire last eight minutes until Chalmers' last-gasp shot. "Memphis came out and played a great game," Kansas senior Russell Robinson said. "We just wanted it more." The second statement is false, of course. Memphis' team wanted it every bit as much. No one tried harder or felt worse than Rose, who kept playing hard until the end, even while limping after twisting his foot. If only he could have made both of those free throws, how different his life would be. Big money will be coming his way in the NBA, but no NCAA title will be by his name. "Let's put it this way," Calipari said with a sigh. "Did we have the guys on the free-throw line late in the game that we wanted to have on the line? "Yeah." But with the game on the line, the kid from Chicago saw a championship slip through his fingers. The other kid from Chicago did not. He had the game—and the game ball—right in his hands. NEW!

Construction vehicles and piles of dirt were everywhere. But fans who turned out to Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday to see the Royals take on the Yankees were not complaining at all. Or maybe it was the Royals' just completed 4-2 road trip to start the season. And for many in the crowd clad in crimson and blue University of Kansas gear, it was the afterglow of the Jayhawks' national basketball Maybe it was the excitement of the home opener, which usually means a packed house and the kind of optimism Kansas City fans haven't been able to enjoy much past the first few weeks in recent years. "We had to park further out than normal, but other than that it's been great. championship Monday night. BECCA HORTON Lee's Summit Whatever the reason, the fans seemed willing to accept the small distractions. "We had to park further out than normal, but other than that it's been great," said Becca Horton of Lee's Summit. "We come to about 10 or 15 games a year, but we always come to opening day. I'm very excited. The Royals seem like they're going to be better this year." Kauffman Stadium is undergoing $250 million in renovation that will include expanded concourses and entryways, improved concession options and the new outfield entertainment area, all expected to be completed by opening day 2009. But the highlight was the 9,000-square-foot, high-definition scoreboard in center field, which made its debut Tuesday. "I wish I had that in my living room," said Alan Moore of Parkville. "It's the best one I've ever seen." "I have never seen a high-definition TV with any better clarity than that score-board." JIMM SLOSS Kansas City "I have never seen a high-definition TV with any better clarity than that score-board," added Jim Sloss of Kansas City. "It's a mindblower." Sloss, who owns a sign company in Kansas City, credited helpful signs at the "It's a little different this year, but with all the additional signage out there it's been real easy to find where I needed to go," he said. "Plus, everybody is more than willing to accommodate." stadium for getting drivers to their parking spots. Other fans made sure they wouldn't run into parking difficulties. "We camped out last night, so we haven't had any problems," said Sarah Beckman of Lee's Summit. "We've been tailgating today." Beckman, an engineer, was willing to cut the Royals some slack with the ongoing renovations. "I think the aesthetic appeal of the stadium is a little less than last year, right now, but the big screen is awesome. We were in the parking lot last night and we could see it perfectly. Way out in left field, we can still see it clearly. "Once they get everything completed it will be a good feel for the fans and will encourage people to come and see them play." 14 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 2008 SPORTS 5B >> NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP SAS ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas' Sherron Collins, right, celebrates with teammates after their 75-68 overtime victory against Memphis in the championship game at the NCAA college basketball Final Four in San Antonio, Monday evening. Era of greatness for Kansas Missed free throws doom Memphis;'right team won' PETER BARRETT BY JASON WHITLOCK KANSAS CITY STAR COLUMNIST SAN ANTONIO — That's how you win it all, exorcise the demons and baptize a new era of greatness. You do it with an unforgettable rally, a stunning three-pointer and with your most famous and infamous coaching alum sitting in the stadium, cheering you on and sporting a jayhawk sticker. Dorothy said it best: "There's no place like (Kansas)," and now maybe Roy Williams and every-body else in the college basketball world realizes it, too. Five years from heartbreak, feelings of betrayal and ruin, the Kansas Jayhawks are the kings of college basketball, winning their third NCAA title Monday night with a pulsating 75-68 overtime victory against the Memphis Tigers. The Jayhawks were dead, down 60-51 with two minutes, 12 seconds to play and in desperate need of several miracles. They got a few along the way. On the 20th anniversary of Danny Manning and the Miracles, Mario Chalmers' miracle three-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation rescued the Jayhawks, culminated a furious 130-second rally from a nine-point deficit and sent the championship spiraling into an extra session. When Chris Douglas-Roberts and Rose failed to extend Memphis' lead to two possessions by missing a combined three of four freebies, it cracked the door for Chalmers' heroics. When the Tigers failed to foul a Jayhawk and send Kansas to the line for two free throws, Memphis opened the door wide for a game-tying, miracle three-pointer. It really started when the refs correctly changed Memphis freshman Derrick Rose's apparent three-point basket to a two during a TV timeout with less than four minutes left in regulation. That point would obviously prove to be critical. So would Memphis' three missed free throws in regulation's final 16 seconds. All season, basketball experts predicted the Tigers' free-throw-shooting woes would bite them. Chalmers walked through that door, sending a floating rainbow from the top of the key. It was good when it left his hand. It was great when it tickled the bottom of the net. And it became a permanent part of Kansas history when the Jayhawks rode its momentum to a six-point advantage halfway through overtime. "We got the ball into our most clutch player's hands, and he delivered." Kansas coach Bill Self said. All of the Jayhawks delivered on Monday night. Darrell Arthur scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Brandon Rush dropped in 12 points and chased Douglas-Roberts all evening. Sherron Collins nailed a huge three late in regulation, passed out six assists and stole three balls. Darnell Jackson produced eight points and eight reboundss. Russell Robinson pestered Rose into a miserable first-half performance. Self deserves some praise, too. He kept his team calm, confident Chalmers did a little bit of everything, scoring 18, dishing out three assists and grabbing four steals. He was chosen the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player. He deserved it — on the big shot alone. and aggressive when it trailed by nine points and the game appeared decided. The Jayhawks used their timeouts wisely and fouled at the right time in because I was trying to win the game at the end. I didn't give Chris enough sub. I didn't give Antonio enough sub ... I'm proud of them. I'm disappointed in myself. I look at that and say, "We should have won that game." Nope. Kansas was the better team. The Jayhawks controlled the entire first half and led by five at the break. The game got away from them for a stretch during the second half. But Kansas should've won in regulation. Ed Hightower's officiating crew swallowed its whistle down the stretch. Collins got fouled hard going to the basket on a fast break late in the game. No call. Douglas-Roberts should've been called for mounting their comeback. "We got the ball into our most clutch player's hands,and he delivered." There will be a lot of talk about Memphis' collapse and John Calipari's coaching blunders. BILL SELF Kansas men's basketball coach "I take full responsibility," Calipari said in the aftermath. "When you're up seven (really nine) ... you're supposed to win that game. We were fouling late, and the kid got away from Derrick so he couldn't get to him to foul him, and when he did get to him, knocked him to the floor and they just didn't call it. I understand why. And then they make a tough shot. Overtime, they kind of beat us down. I didn't sub a whole lot a technical foul after he missed his two free throws late. He slammed the ball to the floor, sending the ball skyrocketing into the air; Hightower chose to talk to Douglas-Roberts instead. The right team won this game. Once Collins' knee got healthy at the end of the regular season, the Jayhawks were the best team in college basketball. They proved it this weekend, demolishing a North Carolina team everyone thought was the best in the land and upending a Memphis team that had a chance to win a record number of games. Kansas is king. And with its third NCAA title, storied history and a young, ascending coach, it has a chance to join the super elite.

Didn't he realize there were only 10.8, now 9.8, now 8.8 seconds left in regulation? Couldn't he see his team was down by three points, and the basket was still almost 90 feet away? And if he noticed all of this, why on earth was he nochna- lantly bouncing the ball and strolling the first two steps up the court like he didn't have a care in the world? As it turned out,it was because to Collins and the Kansas Javahawks,this The record will show that in the best NCAA title game in more than a decade, Memphis and Kansas played an overtime period. But that was a mere formality, because by the time the final horn sounded in regulation, the Tigers had no chance. They'd missed their oppor- the ball to Mario Chalmers for the high-arcing, holy-cow-I-think thats-really-going-in, game-tying 3-pointer, it was as if everyone else figured out what the Jayhawks had known all along. "Deep down, I felt my mind was telling me to leave. But my heart was telling me to stay." This championship always was theirs to win. was nothing. Nothing when compared to having nearly pulled off the biggest choke in Final Four history two nights earlier. Nothing compared to having just scored nine points in 55 seconds to save their season. Nothing when compared to having endured more tragedies than the Greeks. DARNELL JACKSON Senior forward So when Collins finally sped up, and when he dodged a defender trying to foul him, then passed tunity where every one thought they would — at the free-throw line — and then watched the last of their one-time nine-point edge evaporate on Chalmers' 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left "I knew we had the game after that," Kansas forward Darrell Arthur said. Everyone did. Among them were the Jayhawks' family members leaping for joy in the Alamodome grandstands across the court from the Memphis bench. These were the people who had been with the new national champions in darker times. When Collins' infant son died a few days after his birth. When Kansas forward Sasha Kaun's father was killed, allegedly murdered, in Russia. When Jayhawks guard Rodrick Stewart's brother was shot to death in his car. And when Darnell Jackson had "gone through more than any person his age should've had to go through." Jackson, whose father was shot and killed by police, whose uncle was beaten to death, whose friend was killed in gang violence, whose grandmother died as a result of a car wreck, came close to not being in the Alamodome on Monday. At one point, he left school with the intention of never going back, but it turned out "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk" had its hooks in him. "Deep down, I felt my mind was telling me to leave," Jackson said. "But my heart was telling me to stay." Different pionship-game overtime since 1997 and set up Kansas' first national title since Danny Manning and his Miracles won theirs 20 years ago. "I thought it was going to go in when it left my hand. It felt pretty good when I released it." "I thought it was going to go in when it left my hand," Chalmers With Memphis ahead 63-60 and 10.8 seconds showing on the clock, Collins took the inbounds pass and made his casual first few steps. Then he suddenly shifted into high gear, charging into the frontcourt and finding Chalmers, who only had time for one quick glance at the rim before he launched the ball high into the Alamodome air. body parts kept other players in Kansas' uniforms. Brandon Rush, for instance, was unable to enter the NBA draft last spring because of his knee, which he injured during an offseason pickup game. Forced to return to college for his junior year, there he was Monday night, scoring the first basket of overtime to give Kansas a lead it never relinquished. MARIO CHALMERS Junior guard But that was after the biggest dramatics, when Collins and Chalmers had teamed to force the first cham- said. "It felt pretty good when I released it." The shot left the Tigers s t u n n e d — "I'm still kinda numb," Memphis coach John Calipari said a half-hour later — and the lavhawks energized. And when the game was finally over, Jackson leapt over the press table, waded into the crowd and began hugging people, tears flying everywhere. One of the women he hugged, Arthur's mother Sandra, couldn't believe what shed just seen. "Everything worked out for him in the end," she said. Just like the Jayhawks knew it would. WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL Tennessee wins eighth NCAA championship Stanford Cardinals unable to stop Candace Parker, Lady Vols'in 64-48 loss ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — That injured left shoulder wasn't enough to stop Candace Parker from hoisting that championship trophy one last time. Parker scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds to help Tennessee capture its eighth championship with a 64-48 victory over Stanford on Tuesday night. The Lady Vols also became the first repeat champs since Connecticut won three straight from 2002-04. "It's been an emotional last three days, obviously, just rehabbing my shoulder," Parker said, "but it was all worth it to win an eighth national championship." The Associated Press player of the year will leave the Lady Vols (36-2) with a year of eligibility remaining, but has accomplished one of her goals by winning multiple national titles. "You know, it's funny because some players don't get one, and I'm fortunate enough to have two." Parker said with both hands raised and two fingers up on each. "It's that simple. It's that simple." Parker also became the fourth player to win back-to-back Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four honors. She joined Connecticut's Diana Taurasi (2003-04), Tennessee's Chamique Holdschlaw (1997-98), and Southern Cal's Cheryl Miller (1983-84). Stanford's loss ended Candice Wiggins' amazing run through the NCAA tournament. She scored 14 points and finished with 151 over the six games — the fourth-best total in tournament history. Sheryl Swoopes holds the record with 177 points, when she led Texas Tech to the championship in 1993. Wiggins is the first player to have two 40-point games in the tournament. Wiggins ended her stellar career by taking the Cardinal (35-4) further than they'd been since 1992, when the program won it all. Stanford hadn't reached the Final Four since 1997 or advanced to the championship game since the '92 team. TENNESSEE TENNESSEE "I'm sad that it's over because of how much I love this program, this institution, this team, and my coaches teammates," Wiggins said, breaking into tears. "It's that amazing. This season, I could not ever have dreamed of this, so it's more than I could ever ask for." She came in averaging 27.4 points Tennessee's Candace Parker, left, and Angie Bjorklund celebrate after a Parker basket during the second half of the championship game at the Final Four in the NCAA women's basketball tournament Tuesday in Tampa, Fla.

The All-American finished 6-for-16 from the field and left to a standing ovation with just over a minute left in her college career. ing in the semifinals when she went just 6-for-27 from the field, but gutted out the championship game, not letting her injured shoulder bother her. For the second straight game, the she wore a long-sleeve shirt under her uniform to try, as she said, to not focus on the injury. Parker struggled with her shoot While still clearly not 100 percent healthy, the expected No. 1 pick in Wednesday's WNBA draft didn't shoot nearly as many jumpers as Sunday night, instead taking the ball to the basket on an array of moves. She converted one steal in the second half into a layup that gave the Lady Vols' a 10-point advantage. She then followed it with a three-point play on a driving layup. The Cardinal, who had a season low for points, would get no closer than eight the rest of the way. With the game in hand and a minute left, Parker went to the Tennessee bench for the final time, holding up four fingers on each hand to signify the eight titles the Lady Vols have won. "No. 8, it's all about this team," Tennessee coach Pat Summitt said. "I've been very blessed with this team, these people I have around me." >> NHL Experience may be key as Colorado takes on Minnesota ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PAUL, Minn. — Beaten up last April by the eventual NHL champions, the Minnesota Wild have some playoff experience to build on a year later. A couple of their top offensive players, Marian Gaborik and Pierre-Marc Bouchard, were even around when they made that improbable run to the Western Conference finals in 2003. But for all the seasoning the Wild might have nearly eight years after the franchise entered the league, they can't quite match the Colorado Avalanche in that category. Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg, 12 years after they won their first of two Stanley Cups together with the Avs, are ready for another run — even if they're showing their age. Adam Foote and Milan Hejduk are still around, too, from the 2001 championship team. Ryan Smyth, once a star in "Last year, I got a little bit of an experience and now I'm maybe not as nervous." "We have to be patient. Their system, is based on patient." Though the Wild have opened up their offense a bit over the years under famously disciplined coach Jacques Lemaire, their success is still predicated on sound defense and making opponents make mistakes. Gaborik scored a franchise-record 42 goals this season, but Lemaire's skaters will never be known as freestylers. BRENT BURNS Colorado Avalanche "We can't get too excited," Koivu said. "We have to handle that in the right way and play our kind of hockey. There's always a chance that you get overexcited and your thinking is not always there, but we have to avoid that and take it in a good way." Simon hoisted the Stanley Cup with Colorado, actually, in 1996. Edmonton and now a third-line wing on Colorado's potent attack, played for the Oilers in the 2006 Cup finals. Minnesota has plenty of grizzled faces and salt-and-pepper beards, from new enforcer Chris Simon to slap-shot specialist Brian Rolston to defenseman Sean Hill. loud for Wednesday's Game 1, so that has to be channeled properly. Many of the most important players, though, are not that far removed from the draft that brought them scorers and, seemingly, stronger potential to break open a game. "They are playing well, and we've been playing pretty well down the stretch," Sakic said. "For some reason, our two teams both have fast teams and match up pretty well. The games, I'm assuming, are going to be just as tight as they've Then on patience," Colorado enforcer lan Laperriere said. Bothteams, interestingly, approach the game in much the same manner, though the Avalanche clearly have more of the big-name goal "For some reason, our two teams both have fast teams and match up pretty well." Xcel Energy Center is sure to be JOE SAKIC Colorado Avalanche The Wild, however, must be able to handle this unfamiliar role, as the Northwest Division champs. No. 3 seed and home team for this first-round series. In 2003, the Avalanche were heavy favorites and held a 3-1 lead before Minnesota's surge started. Avalanche coach Joel Quenneville downplayed the experience factor, insisting that Sakic even "gets the jitters" before postseason games begin. "Last year, I got a little bit of an experience and now I'm maybe not as nervous," Burns said, "but it's still totally different from the rest of the year." to the organization in a dressing room that remains a rather youthful place. Gaborik, Bouchard, defenseman Brent Burns and center Mikko Koivu are all first-round picks comprising the team's core. Minnesota suffered a big blow on Monday when defenseman Nick Schultz, probably their best pure defender who successfully hounded been in the regular season" Forsberg, Sakic and the others in the 2003 playoffs, had an appendectomy that will certainly keep him out for the series — if not longer. Another blue-liner, Kurtis Foster, badly broke his leg in March, which leaves six healthy defenseman. That's not a recommended formula, especially when against the skills of Forsberg, no matter how problematic his foot might be. "When he's in the zone, he gets the puck and has control and is a calm customer." Lemaire said. "He doesn't panic. He goes well with that team because they have a lot of guys like that." Petteri Nummelin, who played in only 27 games this season because of a groin problem and the depth chart, will take Schultz's spot. "The guys, they'll play. They won't go home and cry," Lemaire said.

JOHN MICHAEL CALLEN BY JOE POSNANSI KANSAS CITY STAR COLUMNIST SAN ANTONIO — Mario Chalmers sat on the podium in the moments after the game, and he wore his "National Champions" hat backward, he had a sort of dazed smile on his face, and he did not know. He could not know. He's history now. "I was able to get a good look at it," he would say. No, he did not know. He could not know. Chalmers made the shot. Kansas came back from nine down in the final furious seconds. Kansas beat Memphis 75-68 in overtime. The Jayhawks are national champions. Kids 50 years from now will be shooting the Chalmers shot in driveways from Pittsburg to St. Francis, from Liberal to Hiawatha, from Cuba to Dodge City to Chanute. Grandparents in Wichita will call their grandchildren in Olathe to talk about what they were feeling when Chalmers took that shot, the way the ball arced, the way it fell. Farmers in Cuba and teachers in Salina and doctors in Garden City will talk about the shot forever. There were precisely 43,257 fans in the Alamodome on Monday night to watch Kansas win its first championship in 20 years, but as time goes by there will be 100,000, then 200,000, then a million who will say they were here. No, Mario Chalmers could not know because he's young. And when you're young, you live in the moment. That's how it's supposed to be. Chalmers was not feeling the pressure of history when he fired the shot. He never could have made it then. Kansas was trailing by nine points with barely two minutes left. Memphis had taken all the intensity and will and ferocity that Kansas had to give, and then the Tigers pulled away. Up nine with about two minutes left? Over. "A lot of us thought the game was over," Kansas' Darnell Jackson would say. "I thought we were national champs," Memphis coach John Calipari would say. How did the comeback happen? It was a blur. A flurry. There was a huge steal by Kansas' gutsy Sherron Collins, followed by a three-pointer. There were some missed Memphis free throws. There were a couple of big shots by And Memphis' players tried to foul. They hammered Collins. Collins said. Kansas coach Bill Self was on the sideline, and he was shouting to his players, "You got to believe," which is as corny a thing as a coach could say, but he could not think of anything else. Nobody could keep up with all the emotions of those final 10 seconds. Memphis' Derrick Rose had two free throws with the Tigers up two — if he made them both, then the Tigers would win. He missed the first. He made the second. Calipari told his players to foul so Kansas would not get a three-point shot. "I think I got fouled, actually," But there was no whistle. Collins managed to flip the basketball back to Chalmers. Memphis' incredible Rose was in his face. Kansas' Darrell Arthur. "I was right there," Rose would say. B u t T Chalmers got the shot up. Reporter always ask, "What were you thinking," when trying to relive moments like this one. How did the come back happen? It was a blur. A flurry. There was a huge steal by Kansas' gutsy Sherron Collins, followed by a three-pointer. That's the beauty of youth. You don't think.You play.You live. Chalmers caught the pass,and he went up, and the ball felt great coming out of his hands. And the answer never satisfies because to make a great play, to hit the final shot, to make the last putt, to drill the game-winning hit, you can't be thinking. Chalmers could not catch the ball and think beauty of youth. You don't think. You play. You live. Chalmers caught the pass, and he went up, and the ball felt great coming out of his hands. "I thought it was going in," You missed a spot about 20 years of frustration for Kansas basketball. He could not think about the 1997 Kansas team, maybe the best in school history, and how those Jayhawks lost a heartbreaker to Arizona. He could not think about Nick Collison, one of the most complete players in the history of the school, who could not make his free throws in a championship game against Syracuse. He could not think about a team that had two All-Americans — including the peerless Paul Pierce — that lost to Rhode Island in the second round. He could not think that Kansas — which belongs at the final table with the greatest basketball schools, with Kentucky, UCLA, North Carolina and Indiana — had won only one national championship in the last 56 years. No, of course not. That's the he would sav. As we all watched the ball in the air, we knew it was history. We could tell. As the ball swished through,everything in the game changed. Memphis' Joey Dorsey said he dropped to his knees "I knew we were ready to cut down the nets," he would say). Memphis' Chris Douglas-Roberts watched the rotation of the ball, and his head sagged. Bill Self, who had this crazy feeling, felt his heart beat in his chest. The shot tied the game. But it really won the game. Memphis had no chance in overtime, not after that shot. When the game ended, when the confetti dropped, when the Jayhawks hugged, Memphis players walked slowly off the court. They knew that this loss would stay with them forever. The losing team always feels history first. "Are you aware of the historical significance of the shot you made tonight?" someone asked Chalmers. And the Jayhawks jumped around and cried and hugged. "I mean," Mario would say with a smile, "it was a big shot for me."

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS RACE GRANADA According to Bob Schumm, former Lawrence mayor, people traveled hundreds of miles to attend the 1988 parade celebrating the NCAA men's basketball championship. The Athletics Department will participate in a downtown parade to honor this year's winning team on Sunday at 3 p.m. University Archives. Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com The Athletics Department refused to participate in the parade earlier this week but changed its position last night. The Kansas Athletics Department agreed to participate in a parade through downtown Lawrence on Sunday, April 13 to honor the Kansas men's basketball team — the 2008 NCAA National Champions. The Athletics Department would not comment on anything regarding the issue. The parade will begin at 3 p.m. at seventh and Massachusetts streets and will proceed south to South Park, according to the Athletics Department's Web site. The Athletics Department will also hold a men's basketball awards ceremony featuring coach Bill Self and the basketball team in Allen Fieldhouse at 6 p.m. Doors will open at 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. "I haven't heard anything about the football team so I assume it will just be the basketball team," she said. "We're thrilled that they decided to go ahead with it, and we look forward to working with them," she said. Chris Burger, treasurer of Downtown Lawrence Inc., said DLI wanted to include the Kansas football team for winning the 2008 Orange Bowl, but Pennington said she thought that would be unlikely. Pennington said she anticipated a crowd of 40,000 people to show up in downtown Lawrence. Lawrence celebrated the Jayhawks national championship in 1988 with a parade that traveled down Massachusetts Street. Bob Schumm, who was mayor of Lawrence at the time, said he remembered the parade as if it were yesterday. "It was the biggest downtown crowd I'd ever seen in my entire life up to that point," he said. "People were in the streets getting autographs, hanging from trees and pretty much there were people at every conceivable place you could be." Schumm said the parade started at Seventh and Vermont streets, went east to Massachusetts Street, turned south to travel down Massachusetts Street and ended at the courthouse on 11th Street. "When we turned right onto Mass., I was like, 'Oh my God, I've never seen this many people before,' he said. "It took an hour to get from the Eldridge to the courthouse it was so packed." Schumm said he expected a lot more people to be at the parade than there were downtown the night the Jayhawks won the championship. "The difference between the two nights is the celebration after the game was a spontaneous crowd, but because the parade is forecasted, we'll see people coming from all over the country," he said. "In 1988 we saw people from 500 to 1,000 miles away that came to see the parade. It's a great opportunity for the city and the fans to celebrate and thank the basketball team." Becca Booth, communications director for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber would be happy to celebrate the Athletics Department's achievements, but the chamber was waiting for direction from the University. "From the chamber's standpoint, we are thrilled by the amazing season and are so proud of our Jayhawks," she said. "We would be happy to honor their achievements however the University feels best."

The club visits Kansas City area real estate companies and visits jobs sites. BY JENNIFERTORLINE jtorline@kansan.com UBS The KU Real Estate Club strives to educate students about the real estate industry through networking and special events. The organization meets a couple of times a semester, usually in the Kansas City area. The meetings consist of listening to guest speakers and visiting local real estate developments and offices. Members recently met with the Turner Construction District and the Cordish Company, who have been the developers of the Power and Light District in downtown Kansas City, Mo. Kara Brack, the club's vice president of marketing, said that the Real Estate Club provided students with networking opportunities and that the club helped students get a glimpse into the real estate industry. "Usually it's kind of hard to see what it is all about without diving headfirst into a company and experiencing it on a real life basis," Brack, Overland Park senior, said. "The club provides the opportunity to network with these executives and see their life" The organization also includes social time in their meetings. At the last event, the International Real Estate Management Association held a happy hour for the members at the 810 Zone, a sports bar and grill in Kansas City, Mo. President Josh Shoenfelder, St. Joseph, Mo., became involved with the organization three years ago because of his strong interest in real estate development. "When I joined, I was preparing for an internship with a real estate development company in California, so I was looking to gain as much knowledge as possible," Shoenfelder said. The organization used to be primarily a law school organization, Shoenfelder said. He has worked to build student interest from a variety of majors. "As president, I have tried to integrate the Business School, the School of Architecture and the Engineering School," he said. joined the organization at the beginning of the school year. Because of his involvement with the Real Estate Club, he would like to work with a real estate development firm or with financial sales after he graduates in May. "The networking in the organization and the skills I've learned have affected my career choice," Davis said.

Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that her husband, the former president, supports a free trade agreement with Colombia that she strenuously opposes. The acknowledgment adds new hurdles to the New York senator's bid to woo Democratic voters in Pennsylvania and elsewhere who believe free trade agreements have eliminated thousands of U.S. jobs. On Sunday, she demoted her chief campaign strategist for his role in promoting the Colombia pact Hillary Clinton told union activists Tuesday she would do everything in her power to Her campaign spokesman, Jay Carson, said in response to a query from The Associated Press that the senator's opposition is "clear and firm." He added: "Like other married couples who disagree on issues from time to time, she disagrees with her husband on this issue. President Clinton has been public about his support for Colombia's request for U.S. trade preferences since 2000." defeat the Colombia Free Trade Agreement now before Congress. Bill Clinton has been his wife's most prominent campaign surrogate and advocate for months. treaty"because when organizing workers puts an organizer's life at risk, as it does in Colombia, it makes a mockery of our labor protections." On Sunday, Mark Penn left his post as top strategist for Clinton's campaign after it was reported that he had met with Colombia's ambassador to the United States to discuss passage of the agreement. Colombia was a client of Penn's large public relations firm. Burson-Marsteller Speaking about the Colombia trade deal Tuesday to a meeting of the Communication Workers of America, she said:"As I have said for months, I oppose the deal, I have spoken out against the deal, I will vote against the deal and I will do everything I can to urge the Congress to reject the Colombia free trade agreement." President Bush on Monday sent the proposed Colombia deal to Congress, which has 90 days to ratify or reject it. The administration says it would help the United States by eliminating high barriers for U.S. exports to Colombia. Most Colombian products enter the United States duty free under existing trade preference laws, the administration says. tions about the pact at the time, and made her feelings known in such gatherings. Hillary Clinton's Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, noted his opposition to the Colombia deal Tuesday when he spoke to the CWA group moments after Clinton left the stage. He said he opposes the Obama did not mention Penn in his 25-minute speech to CWA activists. But in a conference call arranged by his campaign, Teamsters President James Hoffa called on Clinton to cut all ties with Penn, who continues to advise her campaign. A high point of his presidency was passage of the North America Free Trade Agreement, which his wife now criticizes at virtually every campaign stop. White House records show that as first lady Hillary Clinton attended several meetings designed to build congressional support for NAFTA in the early 1990s. She says she had reserva- "This latest issue with Mark Penn really hurts her credibility," especially on trade issues, said Hoffa, who supports Obama.

CRIME Caleb Sommerville Polygamist compound raided by federal officials BY MICHELLE ROBERTS ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANGELO, Texas Lawyers for a polygamist sect that is the subject of a massive child-abuse investigation argued in court Wednesday that although its members' multiple marriages and cloistered ways may be unusual, they have a right to their faith and privacy. Gerry Goldstein, a San Antonio lawyer representing the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also told a judge that the search of the temple in the sect's West Texas compound was analogous to a law enforcement search of the Vatican or other holy places. Goldstein asked the judge to throw out at least some of the search warrants as unconstitutional, but failing that urged authorities to handle any documents seized with respect. Prosecutor Allison Palmer countered that the purpose in seizing the documents was to uncover evidence of criminal activity, not to malign a religion. State troopers and child welfare officials began a search of the FLDS compound in Eldorado last Thursday after a 16-year-old girl there called a local family violence shelter to report her 50-year-old husband beat and raped her. The search warrant covered all documents related to marriages among sect members, including photos and entries possibly written in family Bibles. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Dale Barlow, 50, who is believed to be in Arizona. Barlow was sentenced to jail last year after pleading no contest to conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor. Child welfare investigators said their interviews with 416 children and 139 women, who had been removed from or left the compound since the raid began, revealed that girls were required to enter into a 'spiritual' and polygamous marriage — recognized by the church but forbidden by Texas law — with much older men for the purpose of producing children. Boys were raised to perpetuate the cycle. The affidavit signed by chief investigator Lynn McFadden detail the 16-year-old's phone calls, but days after raiding the West Texas compound, officials still weren't sure where the girl was. Authorities were trying to determine the identities and parentage of many of the children; some were unwilling or unable to provide the names of their biological parents or identified multiple mothers. The Texas investigation is the state's first of FLDS members, but prosecutors in Utah and Arizona have pursued several church members in recent years, including sect leader Warren Jeffs. He is serving two consecutive sentences of five years to life for being an accomplice to the rape of a 14-year-old.

Not only for those who have fallen, but for those who are at risk. ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON At 21, I recently found myself getting a moral lesson from an unlikely source: a corny after school TV show. Throughout the scattered messages regarding family values, one statement in particular got me thinking, "There's a high price for freedom and very little gratitude for the sacrifice made." Amidst the chaos that is my life, I find myself either purposely evading or innocently forgetting the fact that we are at war. If it wasn't for the daily news coverage regarding "our progress", I would feel like my only connection to the war throughout these past five years would be the fluctuating gas prices. The statement reminded me that I do have a connection to the war and that it runs deeper than gas prices and newspapers. With the war occurring away from our home, it can be easy to separate ourselves from the political turmoil that is enveloping the rest of the world. The widely felt and expressed patriotism following 9/11, has slightly diminished over the course of the war. And in contrast to my feeling separated, some students may feel the reality of war is a little closer to home having close family members and friends who are currently serving tours. Topeka Junior Mallory Padilla added, "I never thought that a war would affect me or my family directly. When the United States declared war against Iraq my older brother decided to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. He graduated in May of 2007 and less than a year later he is at war. It is hard going through each day knowing my brother is in a war zone. I respect him for risking his life for our county, our freedom, and other country's freedom. All I can do is pray that he comes home safe after his 15 month tour. The war in Iraq is now a reality to my family and me." Reading the actual words and being able to grasp the sentiment that comes across is enlightening. It reminds me of the selfless service that they provide. Plus it reminds me that, although I don't have close family members or friends who are currently deployed, there are countless students and families who are thinking about the service there loved ones are serving every day. In lieu of the toll reaching 4,000, USA Today and The New York Times, on March 25, published letters from six fallen soldiers. In addition to the letters, both publications featured photos of the most recently deceased 1,000 soldiers. Putting faces with the names also reiterated the reality of the conflict.

IT'S LIKE READING THE INTRODUCTION TO STAR WARS BACKWARDS. benefit dinner MONDAY 4.14 @ ABE & JAKES COVER Tyler Dohering COMMENTARY Brother,can you spare some credit hours? Having a grown man twice your age stare into your eyes and cry, trying to explain how only a year ago he lost a successful business, his wife, children and the roof over his head was just within the first two hours of my service learning experience. I enrolled in a service learning class on accident. A speaker came to my history class speaking French and using a slinky metaphor to explain the goal of service learning. Overall, it came down to linking class material to an actual need in the community through an advanced level of volunteering. I was a little bit hesitant about what I was getting into, but the other option was to write a research paper so I decided to go with the service. CAITLIN THORNBRUGH My hesitant feelings increased the first night I walked between two rows of homeless men into the Lawrence Community Shelter. I entered a crowded room with mats and people occupying them covering the dusty tile floor. After walking just a few feet past the entrance I saw people lining up for dinner, coming to and from the showers, looking for spare blankets, and organizing their possessions next to their mats. Being tossed into the chaos of people my fellow classmate and 1, were immediately put to work and served dinner to about 40 people. After the first night, service became more than just being an extra pair of hands. Service learning is about actually talking to the people you are handing the food to. Those people you ignore and walk by on Mass Street deserve to be acknowledged instead of looked down on. Now, after working there for the past two months, I value the lessons I have learned from the homeless people staying in the shelter just as much as the lectures given from any of my professors. There are actually previous KU students who are now staying in the homeless shelter. Things like that have made me ask more questions about the reasons people become homeless. This is an opportunity for people who learn better by actually getting hands-on experience. I decided to work in a shelter, but there were various places to choose from. To receive a certification that will be placed on your transcript, you first need to complete a service learning class and an independent project. Those are followed by some directed readings and what the Center for Service Learning calls a "reflection", but from my understanding you pretty much just go talk about what you've been doing. To find out about classes you can take just search for "service learning" at the University's homepage and go from there. There is no excuse to shy away from taking a service learning class. As long as you know how to read and can carry on a conversation there's no reason you shouldn't add to your record. I've heard the dreaded phrase "it looks good on a resume" one two many times, yet in this case it's true, and it's actually worth doing. If you are one of the people who have deliberately walked past a homeless person downtown this is an experience you need to have in order to gain a perspective beyond college life.

I stare into the mirror and start making a list in my head on what I could improve. Smaller butt, bigger chest, tighter abs...you know the list I'm talking about. It's hard not to think about these things when I stare at these skinny women in magazines and on TV all day. But I think we give the media too much credit, and we never stop to ask ourselves why these images are accepted in our society. Could it be that we create these images ourselves, endorse them, and that the media just reflects what we've already produced? MANDY EARLES There is a new Web site called missbimbo.com, which is similar to The Sims except you control your own "bimbo." The game is aimed at young girls between ages 9 to 15, and the "bimbos" resemble the dolls called Bratz. Girls can control their "bimbo," and make their "bimbos" take diet pills and get plastic surgery. The site is currently shut down saying, "As a result of this rather surprising media attention we have decided to remove the option of purchasing diet pills from the game." Girls might be getting the wrong message about their bodies, but they will get this message somewhere else eventually. I think this game offers a sad, but realistic view of our society. Missbimbo.com isn't the issue; it isn't to blame for young girls receiving the wrong The real issue is that we (as a society) easily allow these products (diet pills, plastic surgery, etc.) to be within reach of our children. We create the products and then wonder why our children are obsessed with their bodies. We became obsessed with the human body, so we created ways to try and improve it, and then we tried to blame the media. It is not the media. message about their bodies. Why are we so easy to point the finger at something new? It is us. We are the ones who create the products and we are the ones who endorse them by buying them. By doing this, we are showing our children that these products are the answer. reality and a video game? If that really was the case, then I would blame the parents for not teaching them better. These violent video games are just another product of ourselves and what we have made a reality in our society. Anyone remember World War II? We blame the media for everything. It is a cop-out. The media caused the Columbine shooting. Right. It had nothing to do with the two shooters' upbringing. It had nothing to do with the fact that in this society, the boys were able to get a hold of two shotguns. No, it really was all those video games that made him do it. Please! The boys were 17-and-18-years-old and didn't know the difference from I'm just sick of everyone blaming the media for issues that we ourselves make. I'm not saying the media hasn't played its part, but the majority of the problem is that we feed into the problem. Instead of understanding why we expect women to look model-like. Maybe if we pay attention to the images we've created, we can better understand why we continue to endorse these unrealistic images of women. We will stop placing the blame on the media and open our eyes to all the other influences that surround us daily. And maybe when I'm looking into the mirror, instead of making a list on what's wrong with me, I can make a list on what's wrong with society for making me think this. We actually create products that will allow women to get closer to this ideal. And then we turn around and say, "How dare you media! How dare you show us skinny women!" When the real problem is, why do we expect women to look like this? Earles is an Olathe senior in journalism. FREE FOR ALL To contribute to Free For All, visit Kansan.com or call 785-864-0500.

The program, scheduled to begin April 21, will teach the proper ways to use the recreation center's various weight lifting machines. Each 45-minute training session will include on an 12 selectorized weight machines, such as the chest press and leg press, which have weight stacks that affect larger muscle groups. "We want to make sure new people are comfortable using the equipment and learning how to set the machine up to their body." Long said. Amber Long, fitness coordinator at the recreation center, said the program would be catered to students who were new to exercise and were not quite sure how to use the selectorized machines. Improper use of the weight machines could lead to injury, Long said, so one of the program's primary goals was to help explain each aspect of the equipment and make it seem less intimidating. "There are so many pieces of equipment and so many people here," Long said. "This is an opportunity to help people become familiar and ease their misconceptions or anxieties." The recreation center offers students the opportunity to meet with a trainer for personalized instruction on exercise equipment, but Long said this new program would provide a much more basic orientation to the weight room. Becky Kudrna, trainer at the recreation center, said the times available for in-depth program info What: Free weight machine training Where: The Student Recreation Fitness Center When: Beginning April 21 Sign up for a time slot at the recreation center's cardiovascular resistance training desk able for in-depth personal training had tended to be inconvenient for student schedules. "You usually had to get here at 5:30 in the morning," she said. "I'm absolutely certain that kept people from doing it." Kudrna said the new program would offer a variety of time slots for students to choose from. Long said students who already used the selectorized machines could also benefit from personal training because trainers could point out any bad exercise habits a student may have developed. Kimberly Westphall, Wichita junior and marketing program manager for the recreation center, said fixing those habits would help students get more out of each workout. The program will run through the end of the semester and, depending on its success, could become a permanent feature at the recreation center, Westphall said. The new training sessions are free for students and faculty. Time slots can be reserved by visiting the cardiovascular resistance training desk at the recreation center. —Edited by Madeline Hyden Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence! Almost the Weekend!

From the Student Health Services physical therapy department Stretch or do yoga to keep muscles flexible Sandy Bowman, supervisor of the physical therapy department, said that despite the connection to the competitive track and field event, the clinic was designed for recreational runners and anyone starting a new running regimen. The physical therapists who conduct the analyses will look at a range of issues including proper footwear, gait and the way each runner's foot hits the ground. "If there are any faulty mechanics or movements that are unnecessary, we try to point them out and help with ideas on how to correct their running form," Bowman said. Amber Long, fitness coordinator at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, said the clinic could also helped runners avoid common running injuries, such as shin splints or joint overuse. Those injuries often occur this time of year when the weather gets warmer and students try to tackle longer runs, Bowman said. "Everyone tries to go out and be the super athlete that they were last summer," she said. A video analysis of each runner's stride will also help trainers formulate strategies for students to avoid injury and improve their running efficiency. Students looking for extra running training could also enroll in a spinning class, yoga class or make an appointment with physical trainers at the recreation center to help incorporate a weight training routine that would focus specifically on the muscle groups most important to runners, Long said.

Edited by Katherine Loeck WORLD Violence in Naples mar elections BY MATTHEW ROSENBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS KATMANDU, Nepal — An outburst of bloodshed that killed eight people cast a shadow on an election Thursday meant to cement Nepal's peace deal with communist insurgents, stoking fears of more violence on voting day. The voting for a new assembly is intended to usher in sweeping changes for this long-troubled Himalayan country, and will likely mean the end of a centuries-old royal dynasty. But with one candidate gunned down, a protester shot dead by police and six former rebels slain in a clash with police, it was clear that fashioning a lasting peace in this largely impoverished, often ill-governed and frequently violent country won't be easy. "For the peace process to be successful, the election needs to be credible," said Yubaraj Ghimire, editor of the newsweekly Samay. This week's violence "raises a lot of questions about how credible the election will be." The demonstrator was killed Wednesday after police fired on a mob smashing shops and vandalizing buses to protest the slaying a day earlier of a candidate in the mountainous Surkhet district, the area's police chief, Ram Kumar Khanal, said. Police did not have any suspects in the candidate's slaying, he said. A curfew was imposed in the remote district, and authorities said they would delay voting in the area by at least a week while the election would go ahead elsewhere. Dozens of parties, from centrist democrats to former Maoist rebels to old-school royalists, were competing for seats in a new Constituent Assembly, which will govern Nepal and rewrite its constitution. The vote is the first in the two years since King Gyanendra was forced to end his royal dictatorship and the Maoist movement gave up its decade-long fight for a communist state that left about 13,000 people dead. For the 27 million people of Nepal, wedged between Asian giants India and China, the vote brings a promise of peace and an economic revival in this grindingly poor land that often more resembles a medieval fiefdom than a modern state. But after weeks of near-daily clashes between supporters of rival parties and a handful of small bombings — including two in Katmandu on Wednesday that caused no injuries — the mood on election eve was one of ambivalent optimism. "We have no choice to be hopeful," said Biraj Shrestha, a 43-year-old who runs an electronics shop in Katmandu. "We've seen so much fighting. Maybe now it will stop." 2008 DOLE LECTURE AN AFTERNOON WITH TOM BROKAW THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008 1:00 PM AT THE DOLE INSTITUTE ALSO BROADCAST LIVE IN WOODRUFF AUDitorium, KANSAS UNION ROBERT J.

Associated Press SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WOMEN'S GOLF FINISHES STRONG PAGE 3B WWW.KANSAN.COM OLYMPICTORCH PASSES PROTESTERS IN UPROAR PAGE 6B THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008 COMMENTARY PAGE1B Chalmers'three turns Self into Kansas coaching legend Last seconds of championship game create legacy years in the making It's funny what one shot will do. When Mario Chalmers' three-pointer swished through the nets, sent the game into overtime and essentially won the national championship for Kansas, Bill Self went from a good coach to one of the elite coaches in all of college basketball. Sure he was already one of only four coaches to take three different schools to the Elite Eight, but until this year. Self was known for never being able to reach the Final Four. Reaching the Final Four is one thing, but winning the national championship is another. Sure, Self had already gotten over the hump and reached college basketball's greatest weekend, but when the clock hit zero on Monday night, he joined an elite group of coaches that can say they were national champions. Bobby Knight, John Wooden, Coach K ... All of the legendary coaches in the game today have cut down the nets and won a national championship. Now it's Bill Self who has joined the party and can say the same thing. But just what would have happened had Chalmers' shot rimmed off and Kansas not won the game? How would Self have been remembered then? "The outside public may view people that win a championship differently," Self said after the game, "but all coaches know you don't get smarter because a hard shot goes in than if it doesn't go in." And he's right. He didn't physically change with the result of Chalmers' historic heave. He's the same coach he was before the shot and he's the same person he would have been had the shot rimmed off, although he's going to get a big raise from Lew Perkins and the Athletics Department staff in the near BY B.J. RAINS BJRAINS@KANSAN.COM future because of it. Think of two short weeks ago, when the shot by Jason Richards of Davidson missed to the left and the Jayhawks celebrated a trip to the Final Four. Had that shot been six inches to the right, Davidson would have been headed for San Antonio and Kansas would never had even had a chance to bring home the title. Six inches — that's how close the Jayhawks were from not even making the Final Four. Kansas fans who were bitter at Roy Williams for leaving for North Carolina cheered for the former coach when he was shown wearing a KU sticker while sitting in the stands. But in 15 years as the coach at Kansas, Williams never did what Self was able to do on Monday night. With one high-arcing three pointer, Kansas fans around the country were finally able to forget about Roy and totally embrace Self as their guy. With rumors that Self's alma mater, Oklahoma State, is preparing to offer boat loads of money to sway Self back to Stillwater, Kansas fans can only hope that Perkins will be able to keep Self in Lawrence. The first round losses to Bucknell and Bradley, which had fans clammering on message boards for Self to be fired, now seem like a distant memory. The Jayhawks are national champions and Self has enshrined himself as one of the elite coaches in America and one of the all-time greats at Kansas. And as crazy as it sounds, it's all because of one shot. One three-pointer, from the top of the key. That's all it took to not only change the outcome of the game, but to change the legacy of Bill Self. -Edited by Samuel Lamb VENNA Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Coach Bill Self completes cutting down the nets after the Jayhawks win the 2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Monday marked Bill's first national title. BASEBALL Rain provides players a welcomed break BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com Well, with the field uncovered and vulnerable Monday night, Mother Nature acquiesced with a downpour that not only washed out Tuesday's game with Northern Colorado, but the entire midweek series. Those who live by the Bull Durham code would agree that Kansas, after being swept on back-to-back weekends, could have used a rainout this week to get back on track. After Tuesday's rainout, Kansas (19-16) and Northern Colorado (8-22) were scheduled to play a doubleheader yesterday starting at noon. However, due to "wet playing conditions" the double-header was pushed back to a 1 p.m. start The field itself looked playable if absolutely necessary - to the point that the grounds crew was able to drag the field with a tractor with ease - but, based on body language, the Jayhawks didn't look heartbroken to have the games called off. before being reduced to a single game to be played at 3 p.m., until being cancelled altogether. Kansas will resume play this weekend in a three-game series with Texas Tech, beginning Friday at 6 p.m. Saturday's game has been moved up from 2 p.m. to noon so it can air on FSN. Northern Colorado, on the other hand, can't be happy. The Bears arrived back home this morning about 3 a.m. with nothing to show for their road trip. -Edited by Samuel Lamb MOVING ON KANSAS 32 KANSAS 15 CORPS 0 Ion Gearing/KANSAN Senior forward Darnell Jackson pulls down a rebound during the first half of Monday's championship game. Jackson will be graduating this year along with Jeremy Case, Russell Robinson, Rodrick Stewart and Sasha Kaun. Jayhawks say goodbye Five seniors to graduate, others consider entering NBA Draft BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com They played on after first-round losses, an Elite Eight disaster and a 3-4 start to the 2005 season. They can't play on after graduation. The Jayhawks lose five seniors – Jeremy Case, Russell Robinson, Darnell Jackson, Rodrick Stewart and Sasha Kaun from their national championship team. Others will likely not be back either. Juniors Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers and sophomore Darrrell Arthur might enter the NBA Draft. To put it bluntly, Kansas will be an entirely different team next season. That new look means the Jayhawks could be facing the dreaded but sometimes unavoidable drop off that comes after a team wins a national championship. Last season, Florida defeated Ohio State for its second straight title. Stars Joakim Noah, Taurean Green, Al Horford and Corey Brewer all skipped the rest of their college careers to enter the NBA Draft. Sharpshooter Lee Humphrey exhausted his eligibility, Florida didn't recover. This year, the Gators struggled and weren't selected for the NCAA Tournament despite playing with three highly-touted freshmen. Kansas will lose at least as many players as Florida and possibly more. Still, Kansas coach Bill Self is optimistic. They'd certainly be inexperienced. Should Chalmers, Arthur and Rush enter the draft, sophomore guard Sherron Collins would be the only returning player who averaged more than nine minutes a game this season. Freshman center Cole Aldrich would likely join Collins in the starting lineup. "I really think we're going to be good," he said. "I wouldn't be surprised if we were really good." After that, well, it's hazy. Freshman Tyrel Reed, sophomore Brady Morningstar and possibly freshman Conner Teahan would battle six newcomers for the bulk of the playing time. Kansas signed high school "We signed five really good players, and they're better than what anybody thinks they are." BILL SELF Kansas head coach guard Travis Releford and forwards Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris and Quintrell Thomas. Junior college guards Tyrone Appleton (who has committed and not officially signed) and Mario Little will also be joining the team in the fall. It's not the typical Jayhawk recruiting "We signed five really good players," class. None of the players are McDonald's All-Americans, and Marcus Morris is the highest ranked at No. 36 in the country according to Rivals.com. parade time It's Official. The national championship basketball team will be honored with a parade on Sunday. The parade begins at 3 p.m. at Seventh and Massachusetts Streets and will end at South Park. At 6 p.m., fans are invited to come to Allen Fieldhouse for an awards ceremony. Doors will open at five. Self said, "and they're better than what anybody thinks they are." Young and inexperienced doesn't always mean disappointment like it did for Florida. Just two years ago, Kansas was in a similar situation. Back in 2005-2006, the team had three sophomores and three freshmen play major minutes. The Jayhawks started out 3-4 and 10-6 before winning 15 of their last 17 games. "We just tried not to let anything distract us," Robinson said. Self wouldn't want the same 3-4 start next season, but he would like the same ending: a Big 12 Tournament Championship. "Next thing you know," he said about that year, "we're cutting down the nets in Dallas." 1 —Edited by Jared Duncan . --- 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008 Jayhawks & Friends sports trivia of the day A.

And they proved it by finishing third in the tour. Powers nament on Monday in Norman. Okla. Sophomore Emily Powers led the Jayhawks with a score of 223, tying for 14th place. Freshman Meghna Bal had a strong final round to place second on the team with a tie for 17th place overall and a score of 225. "The two of them were playing steady," Coach Erin O'Neil said. "But everyone played so well that last round as well." The team showed some gust and so did the wind, which picked up during the weekend. But senior Annie Giangrosso said the winds weren't a problem for the team. "We've definitely played in worse winds before," Giangrosso, who finished with a score of 230, said. "Being from Kansas, the wind and bad weather doesn't affect us as much as other teams, so it's an advantage for us actually." With the Big 12 Championship looming, O'Neil was relieved that her team finally found a way to play up to its talents. "This is a great confidence boost," O'Neill said. "It shows that they can do it when they need to." O'Neil said the team would need to start off strong in the Big 12 Championship, instead of waiting till the final round. She said the Big 12 would be the most daunting course the Jayhawks would face. "I'm glad we got back on track for that final round," O'Neil said. "But we've had a rough winter, with the lack of playing time." Once again O'Neil relied on the teams' motto of 'no expectations.' She said with such a young team that hasn't been able to practice, setting expectations could be a little too much to handle. "We just want to go out there and play," O'Neil said. "Don't look ahead or worry about the past." But not only does this final round show the Jayhawk's ability and talent, it also displays the type of character these players have. "This did a lot, it shows a lot of character," Giangrosso said. "We're playing the most difficult course we'll play all year, and we have capable players to pull it off." The golf team can possibly gain some inspiration from the basketball team's recent national championship victory, O'Neil said the women were able to witness the madness as the Jayhawks defeated the Tigers and gained its fifth national title. "We flew in around seven, so we got back just in time," O'Neil said. The Jayhawks hope, as the Big 12 Tournaments approach, they will play as well in the first rounds as they do in the last rounds. - Edited by Mandy Earles BASEBALL Missouri pitcher enters game with scoreless streak MIZZOU 42 ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri Tigers pitcher Aaron Crow throws against Baylor Friday, March 22 at Taylor Stadium in Columbia, Mo. The Tigers won 7-0. The junior right-hander from Wakarusa, Kan., will take a scoreless streak of 42 2/3 innings into his next start Friday against texas. For the season, Crow is 7-0 with a minuscule 69 ERA. BY DENNIS WASZAK JR. ASSOCIATED PRESS Tim Jamieson has it pretty easy on Friday nights. The Missouri coach sends Aaron Crow out to the mound, then settles into the dugout and watches the zeros pile up on the scoreboard. "It's about as relaxing as you can possibly imagine it being when you're playing the competition that we're playing," Jamieson said. "Even when he gets into trouble, Aaron just finds another gear." Runners on base or not, Crow has been stunningly stingy this season for the Tigers. The junior right-hander will take a scoreless streak of 42 2-3 innings into his next start Friday against Texas. For the season, the native of Wakarusa, Kan., is 7-0 with a minuscule 0.69 ERA. "I've been feeling real good," Crow said, a possible No.1 overall draft pick in June. "I've had good command of all my pitches and they've been real sharp, too. Everything's been going really well and it seems almost like nothing can go wrong." Lately, everything has gone right for Crow. He has allowed four runs in 52 innings, but none since allowing three against California on Feb. 29. Yep, no runs in nearly six weeks. "I don't know if it's taboo or not, but we're not talking about the streak," Jamieson said with a laugh. "There have been plenty of opportunities for teams to score on him, but he gets that much better when he gets runners in scoring position. He just finds another level. Whether it's increased intensity or increased focus, or both, you see the great ones do that." The NCAA is uncertain what the Division I record is for consecutive scoreless innings. The record book only has team stats listed in that category, with Arizona State going 64 straight innings without allowing a run in 1972. That same season, Eddie Bane threw 43 scoreless innings in a row for the Sun Devils. BRIEF NCAA asked to reconsider its policies on alcohol ads For more than 100 college presidents and athletic directors, beer and the NCAA men's basketball tournament don't mix. The college leaders — among them the top officials at Harvard, Abellene Christian and Georgia State — wrote a letter to NCAA President Myles Brand on Wednesday calling beer advertising "embarrassingly prominent" during tournament broadcasts. They asked the organization to reconsider its policies on alcohol advertising. The Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, D.C., which helped organize the letter, accused the NCAA of violating its own policies that supposedly limit beer advertising to 60 seconds per hour and no more than 120 seconds per telecast. The center said it counted 200 seconds and 240 seconds of beer advertising during Saturday's two semifinal games, and 270 seconds during Monday night's final, when Kansas defeated Memphis 75-68 in overtime.

The Jayhawks won in overtime after Mario Chalmers three-point shot tied the game with seconds left in regulation First Round KANSAS 85, PORTLAND STATE 61 K Jon Goering/KANSAN No Weary Eyes for Kansas The early tip-off time didn't affect the Jayhawks at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb. Despite the players waking up at 7 a.m. for the 11:25 a.m. start, Kansas looked fully awake against 16th-seeded Portland State in a 85-61 victory. The Jayhawks extended their seven-game winning streak by throttling the Vikings in every aspect of the game. Brandon Rush led Kansas with 18 points. Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers combined for six steals. Darrell Arthur nearly recorded a double-double with 18 points and seven rebounds. "It's our first game of the tournament." Chalmers said. "We were just excited to get it started." Case Keefer Second Round KANSAS 75, UNLV 56 How Sweet It Is Jon Goering/KANSAN KANSAS 25 UNLV 1 For 27 minutes, the UNLV Runnin' Rebels stuck right with Kansas. Then, Bill Self adjusted. Clinging to an eight-point lead against the under-manned Rebels, Self attacked them by going small and checking four guards into the game. Kansas rolled to a 75-56 victory from there to reach its UNLV coach Lon Kruger, who lost to Kansas' 1988 National Championship team in the tournament as the Kansas State coach, was determined to slow the game down but that wasn't going to happen with four quick Jayhawk guards. The guards, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, second straight Sweet Sixteen. Russell Robinson and Sherron Collins, combined to score 62 of the Jayhawks' points. "We take pride in games like this where the guards have to step up and make plays," Collins said. "That was the whole game plan." Case Keefer Sweet Sixteen KANSAS 72, VILLANOVA 57 Another Blowout KANS 1 on Goering/KANSAN Villanova was the final at-large team selected for the NCAA Tournament. But through two rounds, the Wildcats hadn't played like it. Led by guard Scottie Reynolds, the Wildcats came back from an 18-point deficit in the first round against Clemson and destroyed Siena in the second round. There were no triumphs against the Javahawks in Detroit at Ford Field, though. Reynolds was only 4-for-13 from the field because of Russell Robinson's staunch defensive pressure. Brandon Rush led the charge offensively by hitting two three-pointers and scoring a team-high 16 points. Three games into the tournament, the Jayhawks were beating opponents by an average of 19 points. "Last year gave us a nice taste of what we want to do." Robinson said. "Guys are still hungry and ready to eat a big plate this time around." Case Keefe --- --- ONS: KANSAS JAYHAWKS KANSAS JAYHAWKS 2008 NCAA MEN'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Elite Eight KANSAS 59, DAVIDSON 57 10 Jon Goerina/KANSAN To The Final Four — Finally Not only were the Jayhawks up against the Cinderella story of the tournament, 10th-seeded Davidson, but they were also trying to exorcise their own demons. After losing in four Elite Eights, some questioned if coach Bill Self would ever break through to the Final Four. Not after a 59-57 victory against the Wildcats. Self collapsed to his knees and took "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." in a sigh of relief after Davidson guard Jason Richards' three-point attempt at the buzzer clanked off the bottom of the backboard. Jon Goering/KANSAN Case Keefer Final Four KANSAS 84, NORTH CAROLINA 66 ANSA Roy Down, One to Go North Carolina, led by former Kansas coach Roy Williams, was supposed to be the best team in the nation. Kansas had something to say about that in its 84-66 Final Four victory. The Jayhawks jumped out to an unprecedented 40-12 lead to start the game. Despite letting the Tar Heels creep back within four in the second half, the Jayhawks regrouped to reach the national championship game. Brandon Rush scored 25 points and the Kansas big men limited national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough to 17 points. "We were the underdog the whole game," Rush said. "We just came out and applied pressure to them. We got up and did some big things." Case Keefer Championship Game KANSAS 75, MEMPHIS 68 (OT) 20 Years Later With four seconds remaining against Memphis in the national championship, Mario Chalmers drained a three-pointer that will never be forgotten. Sherron Collins tossed the ball back to Chalmers, who knocked down the shot from the right wing to send the game into overtime, tied at 63. The 'miracle' shot was the exclamation point on a run that brought Kansas from nine down with two minutes to go to tied at the end of regulation. The Jayhawks spanked the Tigers in overtime and took home their first title since 1988 with a 75-68 victory against the Tigers in the Alamodome in San Antonio. Chalmers scored 18 in the game and Darrell Arthur added 20 points and 10 rebounds. "You couldn't have written it any better," Russell Robinson said. "No way you could have written it any better."

The first torchbearer took the flame from a lantern brought to the stage and held it aloft before running into a warehouse. A motorcycle escort departed, but the torchbearer was nowhere in sight. Then officials drove the Olympic torch about a mile inland and handed it off to two runners away from protesters and media. Less than an hour before the relay began, officials cut the original six-mile route nearly in half. The flame's only North American stop has drawn thousands of demonstrators gathered to praise and condemn China during the flame's journey to Beijing. Chi Zhang, a software engineer from Sunnyvale, waited to see the torch since 10 a.m. He shook his head sadly four hours later when he heard the route had been changed. "That's surprising," he said. "We were very excited about this. This was supposed to be the only stop Olympic Games ASSOCIATED PRESS Olympic torch bearer Dean Karnazes, 44, of San Francisco participates in a media event on Tuesday in San Francisco. One unidentified runner who planned to carry the flame in San Francisco dropped out because of safety concerns.

I took a day off work to be here." KU Independent Study There were signs of tension even before the torch relay began. Pro-Tibet and pro-China groups were given side-by-side permits to demonstrate, and representatives from both sides spilled from their sanctioned sites across a major street and shouted at each other nose to nose, with no visible police presence to separate them.

"The Chinese said they'd change if they got the Olympics, but they still won't change." Farther along the planned route, about 200 Chinese college students mobbed a car carrying two people waving Tibetan flags in front of the city's Pier 39 tourist destination. The students, who arrived by bus from the University of California, Davis, banged drums and chanted "Go Olympics" in Chinese. Jiang Xiaoyu, left, executive vice president of the Beijing organizing committee, and an unidentified handler, right, hold the Olympic flame, shortly after arriving at San Francisco International Airport, Tuesday. The Olympic Torch will make its only North American stop in San Francisco. "I'm proud to be Chinese and I'm outraged because there are so many people who are so ignorant they don't know Tibet is part of China," Yi Che said. "It was and is and will forever be part of China." The torch's 85,000-mile, 20-nation global journey is the longest in Olympic history and is meant to build excitement for the Beijing Games. But it has also been targeted by activists angered over China's human rights record Hundreds of pro-China and pro-Tibet demonstrators blew whistles and waved flags as they faced off near site of the relay's opening ceremony. Police struggled to keep the groups apart. At least one protester was detained, and officers blocked public access to the bridge leading to the ceremony site across McCovey Cave from the ballpark. Beijing 2008 The torchbearers will compete not only with people protesting China's grip on Tibet, but its support for the governments of Myanmar and Sudan. Three blocks from the waterfront torch route, a few dozen activists with the Washington- 785-864-5823 based Save Darfur group, sought to get their message out. Among them were Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, of Ben & Jerry's ice cream fame, who stood near a van sporting a six-foot-tall stainless steel torch — complete with gas-fired flame — resembling the Olympic torch. www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu "We're asking China to extinguish the flames of genocide in Darfur," Cohen said. "China is the one country that has enough influence with Sudan to end the genocide. They really have no choice but to use that influence." IOC president Jacques Rogge met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday to discuss preparations for the games and "a range of games topics were discussed," the IOC said. Local officials say they support the diversity of viewpoints but have tightened security following chaotic protests during the torch's stops in London and Paris and a demonstration Monday in which activists hung banners from the Golden Gate Bridge. Vans were deployed to haul away arrested protesters, and the FAA restricted flights over the city to media helicopters, medical emergency carriers and law enforcement aircraft. Law enforcement agencies erected metal barricades and readied running shoes, bicycles and motorcycles for officers preparing to shadow the runners. San Francisco was chosen to host the relay in part because of its large Chinese-American population.

Rogge has refrained from criticizing China, saying he prefers to engage in "silent diplomacy" with the Chinese. The Olympic flame began its worldwide trek from Ancient Olympia in Greece to Beijing on March 24, and was the focus of protests right from the start. In an interview broadcast Wednesday on the VRT television network in his native Belgium, Rogge warned that pushing China too hard on Tibet and human rights would be counterproductive. Meanwhile Wednesday, the White House said anew that Bush would attend the Olympics, but left open the possibility that he would skip the opening ceremonies. Rogge is to give more details at a news conference Friday, when the IOC's executive board is to discuss whether to end the remaining international legs of the relay after San Francisco because of widespread protest. The torch is scheduled to travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and then to a dozen "If you know China, you know that mounting the barricades and using tough language will have the opposite effect," he said. "China will close itself off from the rest of the world, which, don't forget it, it has done for some 2,000 years." "I would again reiterate that the president has been very clear that he believes that the right thing for him to do is to continue to press the Chinese on a range of issues, from human rights and democracy, political speech freedoms and religious tolerance, and to do that publicly and privately, before, during and after the Olympics," she said. ircuts always $7 VIDALSASSOON Z HAIR academy PIVOT POINT.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will skip the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. French President Nicolas Sarkozy said last month that he was debating not attending the opening ceremony. Asked whether President Bush would go to the opening portion of the Olympics, White House press secretary Dana Perino demurred, citing the fluid nature of a foreign trip "It is extremely premature for me to say what the president's schedule is going to be" in August, she said. Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and others have urged Bush to consider staying away from the opening ceremony as a way to underscore U.S. concerns about the recent unrest in Tibet and questions about China's relationship with Sudan. Brown, too, has been under intense pressure from human rights campaigners to send a message to China. But his decision not to attend the opening ceremony is not an act of protest, a spokeswoman for his office said, speaking anonymously in line with government policy.

Her youngest son, Rico Washington, toiled in the minors for that exact number of years before making the St. Louis Cardinals roster this season. The perspective gained from watching his mother fight her illness for years while rarely missing a day of work at a Georgia nursing home makes his winding and often bumpy path to the majors seem rather inconsequential. "She never gave up and she just continued to work hard even though she was sick," he said. "I think watching her go through what she went through inspired me to continue working hard and know that one day it will pay off. "And it finally did." the news. "I really didn't know what to expect. I thought I was going back to the minors," he said. "I was just so stunned and I was very emotional. I didn't know what to say. It took me a minute for it to sink in. The day finally came and my dream finally came true. I was going to be in the big leagues for the first time." "He just refused to give in. Tell ing him he made the team was the neatest part of the season so far." Just more than a month shy of his 30th birthday, his hair is thinning on top, but the monotony of countless miles of bus rides and stops in at least a dozen cities including Hickory, N.C. and Lynchburg, Va. haven't dimmed his youthful exuberance. He smiles easily and often and his brown eyes sparkle when he recounts the day manager Tony La Russa gave him Then he went outside and wept. Then he went outside and wept. Bring up Washington to almost anyone in the Cardinals organization and it brings a smile to their face. Even La Russa, a hardened veteran of almost 45 seasons, can't help but grin. TONY LA RUSSA St. Louis Cardinals manager "He's a nice player," La Russa said, adding that his attitude is a key to his success. "He just refused to give in. Telling him he made the team was the neatest part of the season so far." It was the culmination of a quest that began in 1997 when the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Washington in the 10th round out of high school. By the time he donned the Cardinals uniform on opening day last week he had played 1,134 games and logged 3,980 at-bats in the minor league systems of Pittsburgh, San Diego, Tampa Bay and St. Louis. He never thought about quitting and always believed hed one day play in the majors. "It never crossed my mind that I wouldn't make it," he said. "When you have on a uniform and you're playing the game, no matter what level you're at, you have an opportunity. You never know when your time is going to come." Barry Veal, his baseball coach at Jones County High School in tiny Gray, Ga., is one person who has been with him for the entire journey. His first year at the school was Washington's freshman year, and the smallish player (5-foot-9) developed into his star pitcher with a 92 mph fastball. Washington's father wasn't in his life, so the then-single Veal became a sort of surrogate dad. Annie Marie, who never missed a game, encouraged the relationship and told the coach to "treat him like he's yours." "To see all the time and work he put it, I was just so happy for him," said Veal who was in St. Louis for his debut last week. "It meant so much to him to finally make it." Veal got a text message from Washington a couple of days before the final cuts that read, "Coach. I think I got a chance. Pray for me." Then came the news Veal had been waiting 15 years for. "Coach, I finally made it," Veal said, recalling another text message. "Keep praying for me." Washington's longest stretch in one place was the three seasons he spent with Double-A Altoona from 2000-02. He hasn't lost track, though. Ask him to name all his stops and he recites them in order and even includes the year he was there.

TV ratings are up and merchandise sales are up. For that, the commissioner turns to a much different set of numbers: the Western Conference standings. Good news, obviously, but not the evidence held cite first when calling this a good year. That's where he finds the deepest playoff race his league has ever seen, the catalyst for a remarkable turnaround. The NBA is a week away from closing a memorable regular season, bouncing back from perhaps the worst offseason it's ever endured. And it's happened in the best way possible to Stern, with strong play and better story lines on the court that are just too good to be ignored. "The more competition you have, like this year has been, the more interesting it is." Boston, and a flurry of trades, and there's been a lot of things to talk about for fans. "The basketball part is what has legs because the world is watching and they're really having a good time watching." Stern said. Throw in a too-close-to-call MVP, race the emergence of RANDY WITTMAN Minnesota Coach "I think it's been a good year, all the way around," Minnesota coach Randy Wittman said. "The more competition you have, like this year has been, the more interesting it is." Only two and a half games separated the top six teams through Tuesday in the West, where somebody will have the best record ever for a non-playoff team and there's seemingly an important matchup every night. Denver visits Golden State Thursday in a game that could help determine which team claims the last playoff spot, and the Lakers play host to the New Orleans Hornets on Friday in a showdown featuring Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul, perhaps the two strongest MVP candidates. No wonder ratings have increased 8 percent on ESPN and TNT, with a 15 percent gain on ABC. TNT had the most anticipated game of the season, when the Celtics snapped Houston's 22-game winning streak last month, and drew its highest rating for a regular-season game since the 2006-07 opener. "I'm happy that everyone's interested. Why, because of the competition in the West," TNT studio analyst Kenny Smith said. "Every team is viable, every team from 6-7-8 could not make the playoffs. Every team in the first round could get knocked out from 1 to 8. That's why people are interested." The NBA is coming off a surprisingly strong March, when it usually cedes the basketball spotlight to the NCAA tournament following its All-Star weekend and trade deadline. This year, thanks to the Rockets' winning streak, a successful All-Star run in New Orleans, and the big trades that sent Shaquille O'Neal, Pau Gasol and Jason Kidd to West powers, interest only grew. DAVID STERN ASSOCIATED PRESS The league drew more than 4.2 million fans, its highest attendance ever in March, and sales at the NBA Store in New York were up 46 percent from the same period last year, part of its overall 15 percent increase for the season. NBA commissioner David Stern, right, makes comments on Monday in San Antonio, Texas. Stern and NCAA president Myles Brand, left, announced Monday a business venture to benefit supporters of the game.

It often surprises the sailors that Kansas competes against, as well. "Sometimes we'll beat a team and they'll ask 'What? Kansas beat us? Kansas has a lake?' says KU Sailing Club president Alli Jones, Bloomington, Minn., junior. Two lakes, actually. They haven't been here for long, but as we learned from another Midwestern sports tale: If you build it, well, something will happen. So, Perry and Clinton lakes were built and people came.The people started yacht clubs and sailing teams. "I have more sailing opportunities here than I ever had growing up," says Bruce Liese, KU Sailing Club advisor and professor of family medicine at the KU Medical Center. Liese says that the Kansas winds provide for great sailing. "You can go out into the water and it'll be calm and serene and then all of a sudden the wind is howling through the wires and ropes," Liese says. "You're sailing along at 30 knots. One side of your boat rises up and everyone's hanging on the side, trying to keep the boat balanced. Clincon Lake may be a geographically ideal sailing destination, but the team battles unsavory conditions during most of the school year.The sailors only made it onto the water twice last semester before the water was too cold to sail on. Their lack of practice put them at a slight disadvantage compared to other teams that meet two to three times per week, but this doesn't discourage them from competing. When the team arrived at their first spring competition in February at the University of Texas, three of the six members had never actually sailed before. Kansas finished 12th out of 17 teams. The members welcome inexperienced students."People don't even have to know what a sail looks like," Jones says."Someone's first sailing experience determines their life view of the sport.We work really hard to make sure it's positive." Jones had her first sailing experience when she was 5, and she says that she knows she'll be sailing for the rest of her life. "This really is a lifelong sport," Jones says. "We race against people in their 70s." The Sailing Club holds "Sailing 101" courses at the Student Recreation Fitness Center and "Learn How to Sail" days for students who are new to the sport. Students can join the club and sail recreationally, or they can sail competitively. Of the 27 members, 12 compete in races. This year, the team has competed in four regattas that have taken them to Austin, College Station, and Dallas, Texas. Now that the spring season is over, the team is focusing on recruiting new members and fundraising. Because of the group's fundraising efforts, the KU Sailing Club has the lowest fees of any Kansas sport. Team members must pay $50, while non-competing members only pay $10. This summer, the club plans to raise money by teaching children how to sail. The lessons will replace the usual annual bake sale. If you're interested in racing Big 12 teams or even 70-year-olds, the Sailing Club's regular practices will resume in the fall. Until then, may the wind be in your sail and may your boat never face a waterfall. ewind play lingo Sailing terminology you should incorporate into your daily vocabulary: sailin Athwartship—across the width of the boat Aweigh—to raise anchor Bilge—the lowest part of a boat where water collects Bristol fashion-a tidy ship Dead reckoning—guessing your position based on your last known position Dinghy—a small boat Fatham—usually used when measuring depth Equal to 6 feet Furl—to lower a sail Gunkholing—cruising in shallow water Poop deck—the raised deck at the back of a boat Regatta—a series of races Schooner—a sailboat with multiple masts Scuttle—to sink a boat Sea cock—vulve that prevents water from entering a through hull Turtle—when a boat is completely upside down Yaw—deviating from the course 59501 78128 86187 2107 7615 Contributed photo for more information: kusailing.blogspot.com 04.10.2008 05 VOL.5 ISS.27 --- HALF-PRICE TICKETS FOR KU STUDENTS!

Catch this blues-rock band perform at the Record Bar, 1020 Westport Rd., Kansas City, Mo., on April 21, or at Lawrence's Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival June 5. You guys hail from the Isle of Man. Anything special we should know about the place? It's a completely independent country and it has its own Parliament, the longest running Parliament in the world. It's like England, only completely different. You recently performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, your second national television performance. Was it easier than the first time? We were more experienced and knew what was going to happen. The show went really, really well. We jumped up 200 places on the Amazon.com sales chart, which is really great for us. LAND You've had some problems during this tour with your van breaking down and being broken into. What's the biggest challenge you've had to face on the road? with Davy Knowles of Back Door Slam Yeah, that was a big problem. We actually had to hire two cars to drive across Texas, which wasn't great. When you're traveling so much you don't get much sleep so it gets hard. It's also hard being away from my family and girlfriend. But we love doing it. Back Door Slam, from left: Adam Jones, Davy Knowles and Ross Doyle Guitarist and vocalist Davy Knowles talks to Joyplay about problems while touring and how he stays humble despite his band's success. You released your debut album Roll Away last year, and it received rave reviews. How does it feel to have achieved such success so early in your career? It's outstanding to think that we are from a small island, had never been to America before, didn't quite know what we were doing when we got here, and we've received so well. We didn't know what to expect when we made the album, but we were very lucky. Getting so far so quickly has been amazing, and we are very grateful for it. One review said your band was 10 to 20 years ahead of its time. Where do you actually see yourself in 10 or 20 years? I'd love to be doing this the rest of my life. We all think this is a lifestyle, not a job or career. It's how you live your life. I'd love to still be here in this position, and still be playing. What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given? Wow, that's a hard one. I'd say, keep your head down. It's really nice when people come up to you after the show and say,"Great show, we love your music;" but you have to take it as a piece of salt and trust your own performance and trust yourself. - Deepa Sampat RIBBED.

Well these bands are Hangin' Tough and holding on to their once-upon-a-time fame and fortune with recent comebacks. New Kids on the Block—For the first time since their 1994 breakup, these Kids are working on a Step by Step plan for a comebreak. Now between the ages of 37 and 40, these middle-agers are planning to hit the block once again. Spice Girls—The girl power quintet said Goodbye in 1998 following Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell's split from the group. Although the girls are now letting 2 Become 1 on their world tour, it might not all be sugar and spice. Halliwell told Billboard magazine that a reunion tour "probably won't happen ever again." So you'll have to find a new way to Spice Up Your Life. NEW KIDS BLOCK Boys II Men—it's not the End of the Road for this R&B trio. In 2007 they released Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA, a compilation of hits from the Motown Records catalog. You can hear classics such as "I'll Make Love to You" on their current U.S. tour.Their 10th studio album is anticipated later this year. **Stone Temple Pilots**—These '90s rockers creeped onto the charts before parting ways in 2003 following the release of their greatest hits compilation, *Thank You*. The Interstate will hear a Love Song once again when the band hits the road this May. Hopefully the seats of their concert arena will be Plush. Hanson—This band of brothers fell into the one hit wonder rut in 1997 with their prepubescent hit, "Mmmbop." But the boys are back with haircuts, deeper voices and their own record label, 3CG records, with the release of their 2007 album, The Walk. The band is now focusing on AIDS activism in Africa.People magazine recently reported that the boys are showing their fans Where the Love is once again on their current tour. Competing with the bands of our youth for time in the limelight are the bands of our parentis generation, aswell. In 2007,Van Halen Really Got Me with their reunion tour,Duran Duran decided they were still Hungry like a Wolf,the Police brought the Magic back by sending their S.O.S.to the World and even Led Zeppelin gave London a Stairway to Heaven with a reunion concert.Allegedly,the jackson 5 "won't stop till they get enough" by proving a comeback is as easy as 1,2,3.

James McKee, 2005 graduate, offers this wisdom on selecting the perfect canine companion. His chocolate Labrador Retriever, Callie, was the result of careful planning and consideration. He says he wouldn't have it any other way. dres McKee demonstrates a preparedness that a lot of college students don't. It takes a lot of time to figure out if you should get a dog and which dog would be right for you. You have to think about several things—money, time, space, breed—before committing to a dog. Such planning will ensure you pick your ideal BFF—best furry friend. "I needed to know that was the kind of dog that would fit into my house and my lifestyle," McKee says. "And I needed to know that I would have the time to take care of her." Dog vs. life One of the most difficult things about owning a dog when you're in college is finding the time to care for the animal properly. Callie Rost, a veterinarian at the Animal Care Emergency Room in Salina, says it's very important that, before you buy a dog, you evaluate the amount of time it takes to have a healthy dog and you compare that time with your regular life. If you don't think the two mesh Rost says, then it's time to reconsider having a dog. Mckee remembers how hard it was to take care of his Lab, Callie, when she was a puppy, and he was still in school. He says he tried to develop a routine that suited both of them. He got up early, around 7 a.m., each day to take her out and let her run around outside, he says. Next came chow time. "I put her food bowl in the bathroom along with some toys, so she could eat while I showered," he says. "She wanted to be around me all the time, and she wouldn't eat if I was out of the room." McKee says that after getting trying to eat his breakfast. He says he kept her in the kitchen with a baby gate so that she couldn't chew on things while he was away. He left for class each day around 8:30 a.m. and returned home when he had an opening in the day, he says. "I came back to my house during a break between classes, around lunchtime, to let her out again and clean up whatever poopy mess she'd made during the morning," he says. "I'd usually have to give her a quick bath because she had poop on herself, too, and then love on her a little and feed her and go back to campus." "It was so tough," he says."I had this adorable thing that was so fun and so frustrating at the same time. I remember being kind of excited for her to grow up." McKee says that his school day ended around 4 p.m. and was followed by cleaning the kitchen—and Callie—again. Though McKee tackled the dog-owning process on his own, many college students solve the time constraints by having a roommate or significant other take care of the dog while they're gone. Now that McKee is out of school and Callie is an adult, he says that things are easier. He can leave Callie alone much longer and his schedule is more relaxed, so he has more time to hang out with her and take her for walks. Kait Wilson, Topeka senior, gives a lot of credit to her roommate when it comes to balancing school, work and having Lupa, a Malese-Poodle mix. She says she is lucky to have a roommate who is willing to help her walk, feed and play with Lupa. Wilson says she is always sad to leave Lupa each day, but the welcome she receives when she returns is unbeatable. "And I don't have to clean up poop anymore," he says Students like Jill Kanterman, Chesterfield, Mo., senior; find it more difficult. She works in Kansas City all day three times a week and goes to classes most of the day twice a week. Her Golden Retriever, Louie, stays home. She, too, has some assistance from a roommate, but she says she makes it a point to find time to personally spend playing with or walking Louie. Dogs require dough Perhaps more than anything else, it takes money to "I would probably go insane without my Louie time," she says. Pickee says that after getting dressed, he played with Callie for about 15 minutes more while Perhaps more than anything else, it takes money to she says.

Barb 10 04.10.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 27 for more information: www.petfinder.com Rost says that the first six months of owning a puppy are tremendously expensive. You have to pay for the dog, then for vaccinations and spaying or neutering on top of the usual food, toys, collars, leashes, flea and tick preventative and heart worm medication that all ages of dogs need each month. Rost estimates that most puppies will cost about $200 a month for the first six months if properly taken care of. Buying a dog from a shelter can be less expensive, Rost says, because these dogs will be spayed or neutered already and will have up-to-date vaccinations. After spaying, neutering and shots are completed the average smaller dog—fewer than 35 pounds—costs around $50 to $75 a month, says Kym Base, a dog breeder, trainer and groomer at Barks 'N' Bows in Salina. A large dog—more than 35 pounds—will cost closer to $100 or $150 each month with a little room for emergencies or illnesses. Base says. own a dog. As the dog gets older, you also have to consider grooming. Base says. Some dogs, like long-haired dogs and poodles, need more grooming than others. Base adds that all dogs should be bathed regularly—every other week to every month—and need their nails trimmed about every month as well. A session at Base's dog grooming shop varies in cost depending on the size of the dog and the amount of work that needs to be done.A full grooming treatment, which includes a bath, nail trim and haircut, for a medium or small-sized dog is about $35,Base says, while an owner of a large dog will spend nearly $45 just for a bath and nail trim. Google that dog You've decided that you have enough time and money to own a dog. Now you need to figure out which dog you want.And you have a ton of options.The American Kennel Club recognizes 158 different breeds.This only includes pure-bred dogs, so mixed breeds make your options much more numerous.The most important thing to do when choosing a dog is research,Base says.She says you should find out why the dog you're interested in was originally bred and what kind of personality the breed generally tends to have.This will give you a better idea of how the dog will fit into your life and complement your activity level. "You don't want to get a Basset Hound if you're a jogging fiend or something," Base says. "You'd give a dog like that a heart attack." Base says that you should never get a dog based on looks alone. Just because a dog is cute doesn't mean you're going to like how it acts, she says in addition. Base says a little. 100% Happy WuV I will never forget you. You are my sunshine and my best friend. Kait Wilson and her Maltese-Poodle mix, Lupa. Grimwood, owner of a private dog shelter in Manhattan also emphasizes the importance of researching breeds before becoming an owner. She recommends using the Internet, reading books and talking to people who have the kind of dog you want. Grimwood says it is also very beneficial to spend time with a dog of that breed. "You may think a Great Dane is awesome until he knocks you down." Grimwood says. "You have be around the dog a bit to know if being knocked down is something you're okay with." After a girl in one of his classes asked him if he wanted to adopt her Dachshund, Jason Cook, Dodge City senior, researched the breed online to learn more about it. "She was just kind of like,'Hey, you want a Dachshund?' And I was like,'I don't know. Let me find out," he says. The girl chose to give up the dog because her apartment did not allow pets, and Cook wanted to make sure that he could handle having a Dachshound around. At the end of his reading and having asked his classmate several questions about the dog, he chose to welcome Jackson, a Dachshund-terrier mix as it turned out, into his home. He says he is very happy with his choice. Jackson's laid-back personality and twinges of mischief make him the perfect companion for Cook, he says. Rost, Base and Grimwood all recommend smaller and older dogs for college Rost advises checking the shelters first to find the dog you want. She says a lot of great dogs are sitting in shelters, and it's extremely rewarding to adopt one. Shelters are also the best places to find the older dogs that will better suit college students' schedules, Rost says. students. These dogs require less space, time and money. Also, older dogs tend to be calmer, need significantly less training and can be left alone more easily. Pet stores are not the best places to buy dogs, Base says. "Puppies get treated like cattle at those stores," Base says. If you have a specific breed in mind, Base suggests looking at rescue groups. Many organizations exist for the sole purpose of rescuing one breed of dog from poor living conditions and placing those dogs in new, happy --- dogs in new, happy homes,she says. For example, Grey Hound Rescue takes many Grey Hounds when they are no longer considered useful in races and finds new families for them.A large advantage to selecting dogs ho say ex Gr Res man when longer useful fin f adv selec A bad match If you can't find the right dog through these avenues or are set on buying a certain pint-sized fuzzy puppy, Rost suggests going to a breeder. But, Rost says, you need to beware of breeders who are only in it for the money. She says it's best to stick with people who raise just one or two breeds and have all their dogs in clean, comfortable and safe conditions. This will reduce your risk of buying a sick puppy. from a rescue group. Base says, is that these dogs usually have all their shots and have been trained well by previous owners or by the rescue group. What if you buy your dog, prepare everything, follow all the guidelines, and you're just not happy with the dog? What should you do then? Base says that the first thing you should do is locate the center of the problem:What are you unhappy with? Personality, behavior; bad habits? Then, Base says, ask yourself if this is a problem that can be solved with a little work.She recommends enrolling the dog in obedience school or taking the dog to a trainer.A few sessions or weeks later,you might have a totally different dog, she says. She says you need to know if your problem lies within training or breeding.Also, Base says, simply spending more time with your dog might make a difference. "Sometimes, they're just pissed that you're gone all the time, and they're stuck bored in that house," she says. "So they entertain themselves: 'That rug looks fun to tear up. That couch leg would be fun to chew on.'" If after several attempts to fix the problem you are still at odds with your dog, Base says the best place to go is a rescue group for the breed. The group will be willing to take the dog and find it another home. That way, Base says, the dog won't end up at the pound, the last place any dog wants to be. Bottom line:You have to do lots of thinking, talking and reading before you get a dog. You have to find out which dog would be well-suited to your house, your personality, your schedule and your activity level. Be prepared to spend some cash and shower attention on your new companion.Then,look around at a few shelters or rescue groups.A good friend might be waiting for you there.All these things will aid you in discovering possibly the best and softest buddy you will ever have. feature 04.10.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 27 11 04.10.2008 11 VOL. 5 ISS. 27 TRES MEXICANOS MEXICAN GRILL AND CANTINA CINCO DE MAYO 25 OY45 DRINK SPECIALS MON: CLASSIC MARGARITA 10 OZ $1.49 MARGARITA PITCHERS $10.99 TUES: ALL DRAFT BEER 12 OZ $0.89 MARGARITA 10 OZ $2.99 WED: CLASSIC MARGARITA 10 OZ $1.49 PITCHER MARGARITA $10.99 THURS: LARGE MARGARITA 27 OZ $4.99 ALL DRAFT BEER 29 OZ $2.49 FRI: ALL DRAFT BEER 12 OZ $0.89 NAT: ALL IMPORTS $2.60 SUN: 2 FOR 1 LABOR MARGARITAS $6.99 TRES MEXICANOS • 1800 E. 23RD STREET • 830-8415 STREET • 830-8415 communication 1. 什么是股票期权? 2. 如何使用股票期权? 3. 如何购买股票期权? 4. 如何赎回股票期权? contact how we met HEAT OF THE MOMENT It was a sweltering October day and Sam Stepp, Mission Hills senior, was frustrated that the KU Housing Department had turned off the residents' air conditioning.

I was called "Kermit" because I built a crude copy of Kermit the Frog. Being "the puppet guy" turned out to be my niche during my teenage years. My dad was a teacher at my elementary school, so people used to call me Little Rez. I love outdoor work and spend a great deal of time on a tractor managing land, which probably sounds weird for a guy who plays with puppets for a living. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES? Bowling, basketball, football, chess, tabletop, ping-pong. I'm up for anything when the mood strikes. Muppeets in Space, it's the one I always seem to recall because it's so cheesy. WHERE WOULD YOU LOVE TO VISIT THE MOST? Since I travel so much for work, I like being at home, but I would like to visit Africa. I have been hearing for 20 years that I should make a point to go there because it is disappearing fast. Rome. I'm a history geek and I'm fascinated with Roman culture. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE KERMIT HAS BEEN IN? it's a cross between The Muppet Movie, which was the first Muppet film and the first I worked on, and The Muppet Christmas Carol, which was the first film we did Carol Jim Henson's death. WHAT DO YOU DO TO STAY ECO-FRIENDLY? Remind myself and others, often through Kermit, the first step in preserving our world is to care for ourselves, our fellow human beings, and ultimately the planet as a whole. I walk, ride my bike, recycle any time I can and try to cut back on trash by making sure it gets eaten or disposed of properly.

Well folks, I have more eclectic tastes, as well. This week, I'd like to point your attention to the ever-burgeoning hip-hop scene. More specifically, please take note of one of the scene's rising stars, Busdriver. Though still a relatively unknown entity this far from his home state of California, Busdriver definitely has the talent and rhythm necessary to break out, and do so in a big way. Just you wait. BUSDRIVER Roadkill Overcoat I guess I can understand why he hasn't hit it big outside of the clubs in San Fransisco and L.A. yet—in one of his lyrics, he describes himself as a "wheatgrass fueled, rehashed, eco-friendly hippy freak," which seems like a perfect fit for the liberal bastion he currently calls home. His 2007 album RoadKillOvercoat, however, is so well-produced, written and rounded in terms of topics and material that the fact he hasn't hit it big yet surprises me. Given the recent successes of more introspective and intelligent hip-hop artists like Black Star (you might not know them by name, but you've heard their song "Definition" more than once at the bars) and Gym Class Heroes, I'd actually be willing to bet that Busdriver will soon join the ranks of hip-hop superstars. RoadKillOvercoat features some of the catchiest verses of the myriad of albums I've listened to this semester, and on more than one occasion in the past few weeks, I've found its songs littered throughout the mental soundtrack that rears its head whenever I'm bored in class—so, um, a lot. In addition to that, the masterfully produced album uses instruments and loops not usually associated with this type of music, such as pianos, violins, synthesized flutes and what sounds to me like a Theremin (the quasi-instrument used to make that eerie sound in old horror movies) to create a sound that is both odd—in a good way—yet sufficiently comfortable in its flaunting of hip-hop rules. What really separates Busdriver from the pack, however, is a lyrical style that reaches its peak in this album. Described by many fans as an "abstract rapper;" Busdriver's lyrics tend to convey a meaningful message over the course of unusually long, mostly fast-paced verses. A quick look at the lyrics of an average hip-hop or rap song tends to reveal a simple formula that looks something like the following: short verse, chorus, same short verse, chorus, same short verse, et cetera. Usually these songs have a word count of about 150 or 200. A quick look at Busdriver's lyrics, however, reveals something wholly different. The best way to explain each song is as a self-contained short story that may or may not have a discernable chorus, but will definitely measure in at more than 1,000 words. And given the word count, Busdriver's ability to compress the words into 3 minutes and 20 or so seconds without compromising understandability is even more amazing. Just like the rest of the album.

"Apple," "iPod" and 4 reuse it Here's a simple way to build a bird feeder using empty two-liter bottles. What you need: - Two empty two-liter bottles. - Knife - String - Scissors - Toothpicks - Glue - Birdseed 1. Before you begin, rinse out the bottles and remove the labels. 2. Start building your birdfeeder by cutting the bottom off of your first 2-liter bottle. This will be the base of the feeder. Next, use a knife to cut out three feeding holes 2 inches from the bottom of this bottle right where the bottom of the label would have been.The size of the feeding holes is up to you; the larger the holes the bigger the birds your feeder will attract. 3. Use the end of your knife to carefully poke holes $ \frac{1}{2} $ -inch below the feeding holes for perches.I used toothpicks for perches,but for a more natural look try using twigs or small branches.Secure your perches in place with glue. 4. This step is optional: To create a hanging feeder, use the end of your knife to poke three equidistant holes 1 inch from the top of the first bottle. Thread string through these holes and tie together. 5. Fill your second 2-liter bottle with birdseed and gently slide 100 the first bottle over the second. Leave a 1-inch gap between the opening of the bottle filled with birdseed and the bottom of your feeder to allow for adequate flow. Flip the feeder over and shake to disperse the seed. Hint: Keep the top of the bottle you cut off as a funnel to fill the feeder 6. And you're done. Now place your bird feeder at least 6 feet away from tree trunks, limbs and fences that predators, such as cats, can climb. - Josh Patterson Hit the greens this weekend at KU STUDENT RATE $22 Monday- Thursday $32 Friday- Saturday *Cart Rental Not Included* Woodland Park FIVE YARD LINE ALVAMAR Reserve your tee time online at www.alvamar.com Just off Bob Billings at 1800 Crossgate Dr. • 785-842-1907 14 04.10.2008 VOL 5 ISS.27 Contact the writer: jpatterson@kansan.com cook it TIME-SAVING CHILI manual X Chill is the perfect comfort food, but it also lasts a long time.

For a cheaper alternative to real art, use blank canvases to make your own. You'll spend fewer than $20 and end up with a perfect trio of pictures to hang on your wall. What you'll need: - A set of three blank canvases - Paints, any type - Three bunches of fake flowers - Elmer's glue or hot glue and a hot glue gun - Pushpins for hanging P 1. Buy a set of three blank canvases from Michaels, 3106 Iowa St., or Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St. Lay out the canvases on newspaper to avoid any accidents while painting. 2. Paint the canvases whatever color you like. I chose to paint each canvas a solid color. You could also paint stripes, polka dots or patterns and coordinate them with your flower design. 3. Pull the individual flowers off the stems. You may want to cut off the short stems that remain on each flower. It will make them easier to glue on the canvas. 4. Once the canvases are dry, arrange the flowers on them to get an idea of what your art will look like. You can make a pattern, shape or whatever looks good to you. I made a different Dianne Smith's own wall art amoeba-like shape for each canvas. 5. Glue the flowers to the canvases. Hot glue will be easier to use because it sets faster, but Elmer's glue works fine, too. You'll just have to be careful not to bump the flowers while they're drying. 6. Put two pushpins directly into the wall, spread apart about the inside width of your canvas. Then hang each canvas on top of the pushpins. It's easiest to measure where you'll need the pushpins, then mark those spots on the wall using a ruler and pencil. - Dianne Smith WINATV* bracket DOWOUT *THAT IS, A FREAKIN' HUGE, 52", WAY-TOO-NICE-FOR-STUDENTS, HIGH-DEF, FLAT SCREEN TV!

Contact the writer: dsmith@kansan.com DRAIN YOUR RIDE manual F ENGINE OIL MIXING UNION By Josh Patterson jpatterson@kansan.com If you want to learn more about your vehicle, changing your own oil is a good place to start. An oil change at jiffy Lube, 914 W.23rd St., starts at $30, but with the right tools and a little know-how, you can change your oil in about 20 minutes for $12. According to Scott Memmer, professional mechanic and editor of the automotive Web site www.edmunds.com, you can save around $100 a year doing this procedure on your own. Helpful Hint: Loosening the oil fill cap—usually located on the top or side of the engine block—will allow oil to drain faster Oil is the lifeblood of your car's engine. It provides lubrication between moving parts, absorbs heat, and carries away dirt and other contaminants. Changing your oil on a regular basis is the single most important thing you can do to extend the life of your car. Matt Palmateer, parts specialist at O'Reilly Auto Parts, 1008 W. 23rd St., recommends changing your oil every 3,000 miles. Depending on the height of your car, you may need to use a jack to access your oil pan and filter—if this is the case, you may be better off going to a professional. Note: Every car is different. The location of your oil pan, oil plug and oil filter will vary by make and model. These steps will get the job done, but please consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specifics. Before you start, make sure you have the following items; Drain pan to collect the old oil al Adjustable wrench or ratchet set materials Air filter wrench/strap wrench er funnel New oil filter (check your owner's manual for requirements) Enough oil to refill the engine (check owner's manual for grade and number of quarts) Old rags for clean-up CARBON AIR FORCE JET Begin by parking your car on a flat surface with the parking brake on. For good measure, put bricks or blocks behind the wheels. Be careful when unscrewing your old oil filter because oil will drain from the filter port as you remove it. Crawl under your car and locate the oil pan.The oil pan collects oil as it flows from the crankcase. At the bottom of the oil pan is the oil drain plug. Use an adjustable wrench, or the appropriate-sized socket wrench. Loosen the oil drain plug counterclockwise. Don't unscrew it completely until you have your drain pan in place. Most of the oil will drain in two to three minutes. Tip: Oil drains faster when the engine is warm, so plan on changing your oil after your next trip to the store. Oil will also drain quicker if you remove or loosen the oil filler cap on top of the engine before draining the oil. Once all the oil has drained, re-install the drain plug. Next, locate your oil filter. Some filters unscrew by hand, others require a special oil filter Mike Davidson, assistant manager at Jiffy Lube, says the most common mistakes people make when changing their own oil are not changing the oil filter, installing the wrong oil filter and not adding enough oil. "Today's cars require a lot of oil, usually about five quarts," he says. warn wrench that looks like a handle attachee metal collar. Upon removal, oil will drain from the filter port, so re-position your drain pan accordingly. Once the oil has drained from the port, install your new filter. Now you can emerge from beneath your vehicle. If you don't already have the hood open, do it now. Remove the oil filler cap, generally located on the top or side of the engine block. Put your funnel in the filling port and add the recommended amount of oil for your car—most vehicles will take between five and seven quarts of oil. Clean up! You're not done yet! You've still got a pan full of dirty, toxic oil to take care of. It's illegal to dispose of used motor oil improperly, so don't throw it in the trash. Both Jiffy Lube and O'Reilly's accept used oil to be recycled, free of charge. One-gallon milk containers are a great way to transport used oil to a proper disposal site. Once you've properly disposed of the old oil, you can hold your head up high, knowing you've ensured the health of your vehicle for another 3,000 miles.

On the Web at BROTHERSBAR.COM reviews Director of Leatherheads George Clooney serves as the angry representative for all those early pro football players, who are no doubt rolling in their graves because of how complex, rule-filled, and soft their game has become. Even if Clooney isn't intentionally making a statement, the drastic differences between today's bajillion-dollar NFL industry and the old game that was only slightly more organized than "smear the queer" are impossible to ignore. 14 Pencil Leatherheads The 1920s Duluth Bulldogs are a bunch of blue-collar ragtags who play a lawless game in which scoring touchdowns is a secondary goal to bloodying your opponent into submission. They play on a dirt field with many bleachers. empty blessers and receive a weekly subsistence check.And they love it. After bankruptcy threatens to cut the season short, team captain Dodge (Clooney) must find a way to keep his teammates on the field and out of the mines. The answer is war hero and heartthrob Carter Rutherford (The Office's John Krasinski), a player with Namath's swagger, Brady's looks and Manning's goody-goodiness rolled up in one. But with packed houses and sponsorship up the wazoo, Carter brings the civility of the college game to the pros. If the costumes don't throw you into the old days, the Randy Newman soundtrack will. Also evident once the theatricality (reminiscent of O Brother, Where Art Thou?) and boys-will-be-boys attitude is peeled away is roaring twenties hyper-capitalism at its ugliest. Good consciences are subdued by prospective gains left and right, and the get-rich schemes are glossed over with parted hair and pearly smiles. Despite the lighthearted tone, all this politicking made me question if, by the end, I liked any of the characters other than the innocent scapegoat Carter and the fun-loving gamer Dodge. ★★★☆☆ lan Stanford Kenny Vs. Spenny Remember those old cartoons with Wile E. Coyote chasing Road Runner all over the desert? And no matter how much he tried, Wile's pre always seemed to fall just outside his grass? Well, what if instead of a desert, the two waged battle in the suburbs of Toronto, and instead of outwitting him every time, Road Runner was naive and gullible, causing him to fall right into every one of Mr. Coyote's traps? If that little twist on an old favorite sounds appealing, and you have a penchant for obscene behavior and language, then Kenny Vs. Spenny might be right up your alley. The television series follows two life-long friends and current roommates, Kenny Hotz and Spencer "Spenny" Rice, who engage in a new competition each episode, not only for bragging rights, but also for the entertainment of the viewers. The competitions range from the tame ("First to Laugh Loses") to the vulgar ("Who Can Make a Better Porno?") to the downright grueling ("Who Can Eat the Most Meat?"). They get even worse when Kenny decides to cheat, * LASURED TO JARRY SHIMPSER * COMPLETE RECORD KENNY VS SPENNY SEASON TWO SEASON TWO TWO DISC SET beat fridge better soundie So, what do the two rivals receive as a reward for putting themselves through these horrible acts? The winner gets to choose a form of "humiliation" to put the loser through. Previous humiliations have included one of the competitors being forced to lick the door handle of a porn shop or turn himself into a human bidet. Kenny vs. Spenny has been airing on Canadian television since 2002 and began its run on Comedy Central last year. And while it's back for a second season, it has yet to make much of a splash in the U.S. This may be because, much like the previous summary, it's difficult to capture the essence of the show without making it look cheap and sophomoric. But, take it from someone who has seen almost the entire series, it goes well beyond that. The thing that brings this show above Jackass or Tom Green antics is the relationship between Kenny and Spenny. Spenny believes he can use his appearance on TV as an inspiration to all underdogs by abiding by the rules of each competition and playing clean. Kenny, on the other hand, is a man-child who plays pranks and cheats in almost every competition with deviously complicated schemes. The hilarity comes in when Kenny's actions press every single one of Spenny's uptight, neurootic buttons. This relationship is what keeps the show going. You tune in not only to see how far these guys will go to win, but how far (or little) Kenny will push his roomie until he explodes. which happens at least 90 percent of the time. Much like the competitions, Kenny's cheating can range from tame, such as putting itching powder under Spenny's bare feet, to the monumentally malicious, like convincing Spenny that he's contracted AIDS. So, I beg you, ignore the disgusting commercials and tune in for one episode to form an opinion about the show.

The flashes from the multiple cameras were blinding as my parents fussed over how Steven and his date should pose next and whether they should sit or stand in front of the fireplace."Come on, mom. We're going to be late," Steven whined, but my mother just ignored him as she tried to capture that scene. I will try to provide as much information as possible about the image and context. The image is a black-and-white photograph of a woman holding an infant. The woman appears to be smiling and looking at the camera. She has light-colored hair and dark eyes. The background consists of a grassy field with trees in the distance. There are no visible texts or identifying marks that could provide more information about the person or the setting. The focus is on the interaction between the woman and the baby. Family ties: Gina and her brother, Stevon, pictured throughout the years. A that perfect snapshot. Roaming around the living room in my pink bunny pajamas, I watched my brother get ready for his senior prom. I was awestruck and envious. His date looked like Cinderella and my brother looked like a mulleted version of Prince Charming. He was off to the ball, sweeping his date off her feet in his By Gina Souders Bob & Diane blue Camero.I was forced to stay home and be in bed by 8:30. My brother was 15 when I was born. By the time I was 4, he had graduated high school and moved out of the house. I was the flower girl for his wedding at the age of 6 and became an aunt at the age of 7. Steven was born and raised in San Francisco until our mother divorced his father. She moved him to Topeka when he was 7, where she later married my father. His son, Daniel, and daughter, Brandy, were born almost a year apart. They were everything my brother and I weren't. They were so close in age that they fought over everything. They fought over attention, which movie to watch, who picked up the toy first and who should get the last cookie. She called him stupid and in turn he called her a butthead. Their relationship seemed so foreign from Steven's and mine. We seemed to have nothing in common. I was a child and he was an adult. When Steven visited I was always sent downstairs to watch Daniel, 3, and Brandy, 2, while Steven and his wife discussed "grown-up things" with my parents. It never bothered me because I didn't want to sit down and be bored listening to them "catch up." I was 10 and I wanted to go downstairs and make a tornado shelter out of a box with my nephew and niece. Because of our age difference we didn't have your typical older brother-little sister bond. I didn't rat him out to our parents when he misbehaved or torture him with girly makeovers. He didn't terrorize me with bugs or upset me with the truth about Santa. When I was busy swooning over 'N Sync, Steven was busy raising a family. Our age difference seemed to keep us apart, and my memories of growing up are those of an only child with an older brother off to the side. After I graduated high school, Steven and I tried getting to know each other. I was getting ready to head off to college and Steven felt he could finally talk to me about the important things in life: beer and what I was going to do with my life. The first time I was ever able to introduce him to my friends was when he attended my high school graduation party. He looked through my graduation scrapbook and we started talking about our lives outside the family. He shared stories about his high school graduation and I shared stories about my teenage years. Mostly I remember Steven saying he was proud of me. Steven knew the split would be difficult on me. He had been through it himself when he was a lot younger. Because of this, Steven came to visit my mom and me more often. He started calling me Soon after graduation my parents unexpectedly divorced. regularly to make sure I was doing okay.With my parents in a constant feud, Steven became the only sane person I could talk to about all the drama.I shared my frustration and he shared advice as well as moral support.As we kept in touch on a regular basis,we began to form a real relationship.He was no longer just another family member who sent me birthday cards in the mail.He became someone I could depend on. He became my older brother. We still keep in touch today. We try to call each other on a regular basis. He tells me about his week and I tell him about mine. He complains about work and I complain about homework. Looking back at my childhood I often wish our relationship had started out as close. I wish he had been there to keep me company when no one else was around. But I wouldn't trade that for what we have now. I have an older brother who is able to share 37 years of wisdom with me. Our relationship may never be the relationship I often hear other siblings refer to, but that's okay. It's our own special bond. To Steven I will always be the little girl in the pink paimas waving him off to the prom, and he'll always be 15 years ahead of me.

The Jayawards are National Champs and PAPER PROJECTS similar situations that have taken longer. The layhawks are Na their coach - well, he's coming back. Self said he met with Oklahoma State Athletics Director Mike Holder on Wednesday night at a hotel in Johnson County to discuss the coaching vacancy at Oklahoma State. Sitting between Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Athletics Director Lew Perkins at a Thursday afternoon press conference, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self squashed the rumor that he would be leaving for Oklahoma State once and for all. "I don't see the finish line at all but I see the finish line being here. This is home now." BILL SELF Kansas men's basketball coach The trio announced that Self had agreed to terms on a potential deal that would keep Self as the basketball coach at Kansas "for a long time to come," Hemenway said. As for the juicy contract details, none were disclosed on Thursday. "Bill Self is exactly the right person for Kansas basketball," Hemenway said. "Money never came up," Self said. "It never came up" Self said he called Holder at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday and informed Holder of his decision. "Today is not the day to talk about details," Perkins said. Perkins said he hoped the details could be hammered out within the next few weeks, but he admitted that he's experienced The controversy over Self's occupational future began last week when Oklahoma State fired its head basketball coach, Sean Sutton. Self, who played basketball from 1981-85 and served as assistant coach from 1986-93 at Oklahoma State, was rumored to be the top name on Oklahoma State's coaching wish list. Self said last week that he had not been contacted about that job and if he was, he would encourage Oklahoma State "to move in a different direction." After Kansas won its third NCAA cham pionship on Monday, the controversy swelled, buoyed by media reports that said influential Oklahoma State booster T. Boone Pickens would offer money that would allow Oklahoma State to woo Self with a signing bonus that could reach $10 million. Self said his mind had been made up since the rumors started flying. I don't know what the big deal is, Self said. Self said he offered to assist Oklahoma State with its coaching search in any shane or form. "I don't know what the big deal is." Self said. Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN Perkins said Oklahoma State was very professional regarding its interest in Self. Although Self could not comment on specifics of a potential contract, he said it was fair to say that he would be getting an extension and a raise. Self's current contract pays him $1,375 million per year. Coach Bill Self speaks at a press conference Thursday afternoon at Hadi Auditorium. Self spoke about his intent to stay with the Jayhawks for next season despite talks with the Oklahoma State about a coaching vacancy. Self also spoke about the importance of maintaining and updating Kansas' basketball facilities, which may have played a part in the terms of his new contract. "We've had good enough facilities to recruit good guys, and that's been proven over time," Self said. "Facilities are arms race." Self added. "If we're going to recruit the best athletes we need to provide the best things for them." "We just want to have the best of the best, so we can recruit the best of the best," Self said. Self also said he consulted his wife and family before making any decision. Self's daughter will be a senior in high school, and his son will be entering the ninth grade. With the fog around Self's future lifted, he said he was ready to start figuring out how to win title No.2. "I don't see the finish line at all, but I see the finish line being here," Self said. "This is home now."

BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com Tom Brokaw, former NBC Nightly News anchor, started his speech Thursday at the Dole Institute of politics with four words: "Mario Chalmers for president." On a more serious note, Brokaw called for students to get involved in the history of their time at the Dole Institute of Politics Thursday He said the Dole Institute was what this nation needed to move forward in a time that paralleled the 1940s and 1960s in importance. "Students and citizens can come here to learn the reward and honor of public service." Brokaw said. Brokaw said his parents raised him on values that came out of the Great Depression. He said humility, compromise and service to country, like that in the 1930s and '40s, was what America needed to address its problems today. Brokaw said the saddest part of politics today was that senators did not get the chance to sit down and reflect because special interest groups demanded so much of their time. He said that even in election coverage the real issues were not being addressed. "There is too much commentary and too little coverage," Brokaw said. "Unfortunatley a lot of coverage has been reduced to gotcha's," he said, referring to the quarrel- ting between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. "It is nice that with all the big names he knows in politics, he can still find time to be the friend of a Clarissa Unger, Colby junior and Dole Institute intern, said that Brokaw's genuine attitude surprised her. "He was just so real," Unger "There is too much commentary and too little coverage." TOM BROKAW Former NBC news anchor said. "He walked into the room and immediately wanted to know who everyone was individually." 1944 KU Alumna Scottie Lingelbach asked Tom Brokaw, her old friend, to come speak in Kansas. little old white haired lady from Kansas." Lingelbach was involved in politics during her college years. another pin-up girl. I wanted to make a difference," Lingelbach said. "And they used that quote," she added. Brokaw said students should get to know their parents' generation to better understand their own. He said a woman told him that she never got along with her father until she read Brokaw's book, "The Greatest Generation," which details the mindset of World War II. "For the first time she was able to go back and actually meet her father," Brokaw said. Unger said that Brokaw's visit was special because he has had this kind of influence on many people. "He's just done so much," Unger said. "I remember listening to him every night with my father growing up." Brokaw said he could only stay for a few hours because, although he was retired, he still had a hard time saying no when it came to important events. -Edited by Nick Mangiaracina day afternoon, despite coming in third in the Student Senate presidential election. Adam Wood, Lawrence Junior, and Eric Hyde, Lawrence sopomore, were upbeat at the Students of Liberty camp Thurs- STUDENT SENATE Students of Liberty vow to return next year United Students candidates Adam McGo-ngle, Wichita sophomore, and Michael Gillaspie.

The Students of Liberty campaign, consisting of only seven student senators, picked up 7 percent of the vote, and only spent about $75. "I think it's pretty impressive that we did as well as Student Rights did last year," Wood said. "We did as well as they did and they had a lot more people and a lot more money." Both Wood and Hyde, the coalition's vice presidential candidate, said the campaign was a victory for Students of Liberty because its campaign influenced both United Students and ConnectKU environmental platform came right out of our mouths," he said. "But that's just something that typically happens in politics."

"But because my actors' schedules are so diverse, it's helped to have rehearsals where I only need some of the cast instead of everyone, or one or two people in every scene." THEATER Referendum 2 — Brenna Hawley In one of the show's scenes, "Universal Language," cast member Denny Dorrell, Overland Park sophomore, plays a con man who speaks most of his lines in an imaginary language that Ives, the playwright, invented. Dorrell said it wasn't easy getting the strange dialogue down. It's'All in the Timing' Gieschen said he chose to do a collection of short plays instead of one long production because it required less set construction. Student director makes Kansas stage debut "They have one show every semester, and she asked me if I'd like to do it," Gieschen said. "I did theater in high school, and I had a fun time doing it, so I said yes." BY ABBY OLCESE editor@kansan.com "It's really unique because there are no stage directions, so the director can put his or her vision into it, and I think it really turned out well." Gieschen said. No, these aren't bad jokes, or even bad dreams. These are descriptions of three of the humorous one-act plays that make up "All in the Timing," a collection of six short works by David Ives, performed at the Hashinger Hall Theater April 11, 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. Matt Gieschen, Overland Park freshman, directed the show. He volunteered to help the production after being approached by Lauren Eby, director of the Arts Council of Hashinger's hall government. Three monkeys sit in a laboratory pounding at typewriters as they attempt to write "Hamlet." A man has a sudden personal crisis while trying to buy a loaf of bread. A con man teaches an indecipherable gibberish language to his gullible mark. Of the scenes, Giesen said he liked "Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread" the most. The action concerns a man's internal struggles after running into a former girlfriend at a bakery. "Ives likes to play with words, and he's really whimsical with his treatment of humanity," he said. "This show really plays and experiments with different possibilities, and that's why I like it so much." "I haven't been in many shows, but from what I know personally, it was really hard," Dorrell said. "After Gieschen said the six acts of the show were tied together by a sense of playfulness with language and human nature. "This was a different kind of production than the one we did in high school," Gallagher said. "It was fun to work with it from a different perspective." Gallagher is also making her first appearance on-stage at the University after some experience working with backstage crews on other productions. Gieschen said he enjoyed his experience directing the show, and wouldn't mind doing it again. a while you learn to go with it, and you can always make up words if you forget your lines" CLAS Junior Senior Dorrell said he was grateful Ives provided a translation of the gibberish lines so he could understand the tone of the scene. "Once I got the hang of it, it was a blast," Dorrell said.

Thursday was the first day of Islam Awareness Week. BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN The Muslim Student Association's Islam Awareness Week kicked off Thursday with an open house at the Islamic Center of Lawrence. Students, professors and Lawrence residents came together on the center's front lawn to eat and drink traditional foods and "discover the truth about Islam." Eman Shaiwani, Olathe senior, led groups of visitors on tours of the center and its prayer room. She said the main focus of the open house was to inform people about the Islamic faith and Muslims in their community. Shaiwani said visitors were surprised by how much they didn't know about Islam, and the manner in which members of MSA and the center made them feel comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings. "The image of Islam in the media is very distorted," Abdel-Halim said. "It "We're pretty open," Shaiwani said. "The ability to come interact, talk and spend time together and the chance to learn about Islam through Muslims and not through the media is one thing I've been getting from a lot of people. It's surprising for some because it's a lot different from what they've always known or always heard." MSA's Islamic Awareness Week activities will resume on Monday, as speakers from all over the United States arrive on campus to lecture on topics such as the role of women in Islam and Islamic contributions to art. All lectures will he held at the Kansas Union. He said people have associated Muslims with terrorism and violence because of the events on September 11, even though Islam preaches peace and "submission" to God. MSA president Ala Abdel-Halim, a first-year pharmacy student from Palestine, said the group wanted to show students the personal side of Islam rather than the view of violent extremists often portrayed in popular media. often portrays Islam as a violent religion or depicts followers as terrorists or radical thinking. We will show that we are not those things." Najabat Abbasi, director of the Islamic Center of Lawrence, said the media had perpetuated the stereotypes that surrounded Muslims after Sept. 11. He said harming innocent people was directly opposed to the preaching's of the faith, and those who commit acts of terrorism are using Islam for their own personal gain. "There are fanatics in every religion, but I think we got bad publicity after 9/11," Abbasi said. "Before that no one had such a bad conception about Islam." Abbasi said he thought if people learned more about the true nature of Islam, there wouldn't be so many negative stereotypes associated with the faith and its believers. The MSA was founded on campus more than 20 years ago and was the sole Islamic organization in Lawrence until the founding of the Islamic Society of Lawrence. "We are trying to make people aware of Islam," Abbasi said. "There is a lot of misunderstanding and misconception about Islam."

TEXASTECH PAGE 2B FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 2008 PAGE 6B SOFTBALL PAGE 1B Hawks look to rope Longhorns BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbrecnkunitch@kansan.com The University of Kansas softball team returns home this weekend to face the University of Texas Longhorns. It is the Jayhawks' first home contest in more than one week. The team was supposed to have one last road series against Arkansas before returning to Arrocha Ballpark, but heavy rains cancelled the games. The games will not be made up. Coach Tracy Bunge said the team didn't necessarily need to get those games for momentum or any other reason, but having them cancelled let the team focus on Texas. "If anything, you look at it right from a coaching point of view as they were nonconference games. It would've been nice to get them in, but by not playing them, it really allows us to turn our focus, a day earlier, to Texas," Bunge said. team are used to, even though they await the spring weather. "We joke that we live in the tundra," freshman right fielder Liz Kocon said. The team comes off almost a full week without playing a game, but Bunge said that could end up helping the team. "You go big or go home is what we always say." "If anything, hopefully, maybe it gives us a little bit Kocon said the team was looking forward to getting back on the field, especially against Texas. more time for some bumps and bruises to get healed," Bunge said.

The weather looks inclement again for the weekend, but it's something that Bunge and the TRACY BUNGE Softball coach "Offensively, we've got to challenge ourselves to go out in both games and take it to Texas early," Bunge said. She also said a key to winning would be taking control of the game away from Texas, because that is when "We have a lot of rivalry with them," said Kocon. She also said that there would be a lot of passion in the games over the weekend. Bunge set a goal of 40 wins for her team at the beginning of the season. Now the Jayhawks are getting deep into Big 12 play and the schedule is getting tougher. "We don't have any patsies left on the schedule, if any," Bunge said. She still believes that the team can finish strong, though. Kocon said the team favored the underdog role and dealt with critics overlooking it all season, but as it got deeper into conference play, it knew it had to keep up its intensity. "You go big or go home is what we always say." Kocon said. The Jayhawks start the tough Big 12 stretch at 1 p.m. Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark.

Weston White/KANSAN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Awards night unites team for last time BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com The University of Kansas women's basketball team got together one final time this season Thursday night to celebrate their season, honor seniors Jamie Boyd and Taylor McIntosh and award postseason honors. Junior guard Katie Smith, a former walk-on now on scholarship, won the Ms. "A lot of you kids just aren't made like that anymore, and as a coach you respect that. I know her teammates respect that, too." embodies the spirit and vision of the Kansas women's basketball program. "There aren't many kids that would play on a scout team, running Nebraska's offense lets say, and cheer for the defense when BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas coach Jayhawk award for the second consecutive year, and McIntosh and Boyd said their emotional goodbyes in a crowded Kansas Ballroom in the Kansas Union. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said Smith's teammates recognized the selfless sacrifices the junior guard made for the University and the women's basketball program. The players voted on and chose each award winner. The Ms. Jayhawk award is given to the player that they pick her or box her out," Henrickson said. "A lot of kids just aren't made like that anymore, and as a coach you respect that. I know her teammates respect that too." In addition in addition to Smith's repeat award, sophomore guard Danielle McCray, senior forward Taylor McIntosh, senior forward Jamie Boyd, junior guard Ivana Catic, sophomore forward-center Rebecca Feickert and freshman center Krysten Boogaard were all honored for their efforts this season. It was a rare opportunity for fans to see the team outside Allen Fieldhouse and away from the competition that has defined their careers in crimson and blue. "Most people are just excited to see them in normal clothes and not just their basketball uniforms," Henrickson said. Henrickson led Kansas to a 17- 16 (4-12) season in which the Jayhawks made their second postseason appearance in the WNIT in the last four seasons and recorded an 11-2 record in nonconference play. Though the Jayhawks bolted to an 11-2 start, the rigors of the Big 12 Conference torpeded their hopes of an NCAA Tournament berth. the goals of this group. They kind of changed the culture of how to compete. I'm just excited about their future because they are going to be really good." She said the award ceremony was a way of honoring her team's accomplishments as well as allowing Kansas women's basketball fans to connect with the team "Most people are just excited to see them in normal clothes and not just their basketball uniforms." Despite falling short of their goal of participating in their first Big Dance since the 1999-2000 season, Henrickson said this team laid a solid foundation for future success. "I'm proud of how they've grown," Henrickson said. "How they've handled themselves and BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas coach and the players graduating. It's easy for fans and observers to focus on player's lives as collegiate athletes instead of as people without giving them a glance into their personal lives, Henrickson said. "Its hard sometimes to explain to people when you want to yell at them for not boxing out, and I do too, that you don't understand the kids," she said. "The kids are human.

G. Koch Other schools should take after Kansas, treat coaches with more class Kansas coach Bill Self speaks at a press conference Thursday afternoon at Hadi Auditorium. Self spoke about his intent to stay with the Jayhawks for next season despite talks with the Oklahoma State athletic department. BY BRYAN WHEELER bwheeler@kansan.com Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN Then reality hit. On April 1, Oklahoma State's coach Sean Sutton resigned under pressure two years and 39 wins into his five-year coaching contract with the Cowboys. When Bill Self was told of Sutton's resignation, it seemed like a cruel April Fool's Day joke. Self, then in the midst of a press conference for the Final Four was taken by surprise. It started with rumors. T.Boone Pickens, a wealthy oil tycoon and Oklahoma State alumnus was to offer coach Bill Self a huge chunk of money to come to Stillwater and coach after this season. "I haven't heard that it's happened," he said. A reporter then notified him that it had happened. There was no press conference in which Sutton announced his resignation After 17 years and 387 combined victories as a player, assistant coach and head coach, all Oklahoma State did was issue a press release saying that athletic director Mike Holder and Sutton agreed that it was in the best interests for the university that he step down. The press release ended saying that Holder would begin a search for a new coach right away. "It has happened?" Self questioned. "Well, I hadn't heard that when I came down here. If it has been done, I feel bad for Sean, because I feel his team got better over the course of the year." Sean Sutton's father, Eddie, who led Oklahoma State to two Final Fours and 351 victories, was disappointed. While in San Antonio for the National Championship on Monday, Sutton told the Austin American-Statesman that he was considering having his signature removed from Gallagher-Iba Arena court as a result of his son being ousted from the coaching job at Oklahoma State. There you have it folks. Oklahoma State was so desperate to get Bill Self that it risked ruining ties to a legendary coach that brought national recognition to its basketball program. Does that sound like a bad breakup, or what? To make matters worse, Oklahoma State reached a settlement with Sutton that would pay him $2.7 million over the next 10 years. Another stipulation of the settlement noted in an Associated Press article on Monday was that Sutton agreed not to make any "disparaging remarks" about the "university's board of regents, the university or any officers, employees or agents of the regents or university." At this point in time, the Sutton family may look more fondly upon the Jayhawks. It was just last season when Eddie Sutton was honored during a halftime ceremony at Allen Fieldhouse. It was also on Senior Night in 2003 that Sutton congratulated and embraced Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison. Though Eddie Sutton never coached for Kansas, the Jayhawks have shown him class and respect, while Oklahoma State kicked his son to the curb. After the events this past week, Self knows Lew Perkins has his back. There were the tough times after losing to Bucknell and Bradley in the tournament when things looked bleak. Perkins had Self's back. Now Self has won a National Championship and has the highest winning percentage of any coach in Kansas Basketball history. Perkins delivered. 79-year-old billionaire Pickens and Oklahoma State cannot give Self what Kansas and Perkins did today. Given the outcome of Sean Sutton at Oklahoma State, money was the last of Self's concerns. He deserved a contract, but also a chance to go down as one of the all-time greatest college basketball coaches. —Edited by Jared Duncan --- 5 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 2008 Sportin' Jayhawks sports trivia of the day Q: What was the furthest the OSU Cowboys advanced while Bill Self was a player?

KANSAS RELAYS SINCE 1933 KU PGA Associated Press Justin Rose leads after first round of Masters AUGUSTA, Ga. — Justin Rose has the first round of the Masters down pat. It's the rest of the tournament he must master. On a warm, sunny opening day that featured Ian Poulter's hole-in-one, a solid start to Zach Johnson's title defense and Tiger Woods plodding around the course. Rose shot a 4-under 68 that put him atop the leaderboard. Sound familiar? It should. Returning to Augusta last year, Rose surged to the front again with a 69 on Thursday, but didn't come close to matching that score the rest of the weekend, settling for a fifth-place tie three strokes behind Johnson. In 2004, the Englishman led after the first and second rounds but faded to a tie for 22nd.

Still no word from Kansas coach Bill Self on the future of juniors Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers and sophomore Darrell Arthur. Self said on Thursday that there was no timeline for the trio to announce if they would be entering the NBA draft. "I think it'll happen pretty quick." Self said. Self said even if one or more of Kansas' players enter the draft, he hoped they'd take time to research their draft status before hiring an agent. Rush, though, would be ineligible to return if he declares since he declared for the draft last season. College players, who have until April 27 to declare for the NBA draft, can declare for the draft once and return to school if they don't hire an agent. Back to work Self said he was excited for Sunday's scheduled parade, because he hadn't quite had the chance to fully enjoy his team's national championship. But first, he's off on the road today to do some recruiting. Self said he thought Kansas' success this past season would help recruiting, but matching the talented squad he assembled this season might be tough. "But I think we could recruit the same caliber guys," he said. Special visit Self got a special visit from senior Russell Robinson on Thursday morning in his office. "You couldn't wipe the smile off his face." Self said.

Her relay teammates aren't quite as willing. Jones' former relay teammates paid for her doping offenses Thursday, losing their medals from the 2000 Sydney Olympics as the International Olympic Committee stripped them from athletes who won gold with Jones in the 1,600-meter relay and bronze in the 400 relay. "The decision was based on the fact that they were part of a team, that Marion Jones was disqualified from the Sydney Games due to her own admission that she was doping during those games," said IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies, who announced the decision. "She was part of a team and she competed with them in the finals." Jones' teammates on the 1,600 squad were Jearl-Miles Clark, Monique Hennagan, LaTasha Colander-Richardson and Andrea Anderson. The 400-relay squad also had Chryste Gaines, Torri Edwards, Nanceen Perry and Passion Richardson. The runners have previously refused to give up their medals, saying it would be wrong to punish them for Jones' violations. They have hired a U.S. lawyer to defend their case, which could wind up in the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport. The IOC ruling follows the admission by Jones last year that she was doping at the time of the Sydney Games.

ENTERTAINMENT Parton oversees bald eagle returned to the wild DANDRIDGE, Tenn. — Dolly Panton visited the woods overlooking Douglas Lake near the Great Smoky Mountains in designer buckskins and four-inch heels. But she knew she wasn't the star of this show. It was a young American bald eagle. Some 90 eagles have been released from the same spot since the 1990s. The eagle was blown from its nest several weeks ago in Florida. On Thursday, it was returned to the wild by the American Eagle Foundation, which is based at the 62-year-old singer's Dollywood theme park. "I thought that sounded better than Baldy," she said. Before she helped open the cage and watched the bird soar away, Parton named it "Liberty." 'Secret Talents of the Stars' canceled after one episode NEW YORK — The secret talents of celebrities will remain hidden. CBS is axing its new reality show "Secret Talents of the Stars" after only one episode. The first airing Wednesday had former "Star Trek" actor George Takei singing "On the Road Again." Only 4.6 million people tuned in — and thousands tuned away as the hour continued. Some charges dropped in Hollywood wiretap case The reality show also had Clint Black doing standup comedy and Mya tap-dancing. Danny Bonaduce is among the celebrities whose secret talents will be kept to himself. LOS ANGELES — A total of 28 charges were dropped at the prosecution's request Thursday in the Hollywood wiretaps case against private investigator Anthony Pellicano and a co-defendant. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Saunders said the government made the request because some of the alleged victims weren't available to testify and other counts were redundant. More than 35 charges remain against Pellicano and former Los Angeles police Sgt. Mark Arneson. They and three other codefendants have pleaded not guilty. Pellicano is accused of running a criminal enterprise that used wiretaps and other clandestine tactics to dig up dirt to help his clients gain an advantage in legal and other disputes. Among high-profile Hollywood figures called during the prosecution's case were Chris Rock, Garry Shandling, Keith Carradine.

I've got a suggestion for a new and improved definition of the word "irony": the fact that we now have an African-American candidate for the presidency who supports an Apartheid state. While watching Barack Obama's speech last month, I was struck by a statement nestled neatly within what I thought was a speech on race. He pointed out that the problems in the Middle East were not because of the actions of "stalwart allies like Israel", but "the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam." I have come to expect such simplistic formulations of the Israel/ Palestine conflict from the current administration, but hearing these words from the mouth of Obama particularly saddened me. What it amounted to was his surrender to our traditional policy of unconditional support for Israeli Apartheid, in an obvious effort to satisfy the powerful Israel Lobby. The sad truth that he reaffirms is that the occupation that is occurring under our noses and with our money will continue, even when the most liberal of us take the helm. In Palestine reservations and Bantustans still exists: the West Bank is chopped up into smaller and smaller zones by a sprawling network of settlements and military bases, connected by an infrastructure of roads for the exclusive use of Israelis and checkpoints that restrict Palestinian movement within their own country. There is the separation wall, which continues to snake through Palestine, cutting off families from their land and each other, daily annexing more Palestinian land and resources. Israel is an Apartheid state because Palestinians are denied their human rights precisely because they are Palestinians. The whole of the population of Palestine is placed in the category of terrorist in an effort to justify the Apartheid program, as is made evident by the recurring collective punishment by the Israeli Defense Forces. But what Obama and his predecessors fail to understand is that the people of Palestine are not terrorists. There are people who use violent means to resist the occupiers, but beyond the question of what we would do if we found ourselves in a similar situation, let's not forget that while in Iraq a war is waged in the name of America, it would be ridiculous to assume that every American supports such violence. In fact the very people who advocate for the victims of the Iraq war are the ones lining up to vote for the fellow who doesn't seem care about the victims in Palestine. For Obama, capitulation to the status quo is as much an issue of politics and power as it is one of simple fear for the rest of us. The biggest device used against critics of the occupation of Palestine is the equating of an anti-Zionist stance with anti-Semitism. It is a blatant and horrible abuse of logic and history to assert such a thing. This is roughly the equivalent of saying that anyone criticising any aspect of American foreign policy is anti-American and ultimately amounts to a negation of the idea of democracy, which has as its cornerstone the necessity of differing viewpoints. It smacks of a new McCarthyism. One thing must be made clear: resistance to the occupation of Palestine is absolutely not anti-Semitism, and shame on those who would say so. The soundest reason to stand up for the victims in Palestine as well as Israel spring from a deep-seated belief that the people of Israel and the people of Palestine are absolutely capable of living side-by-side in peace and prosperity. The myth that this is impossible is only the propaganda of the occupier who would have you believe it in order justify the further extermination and/or expulsion of the Palestinian people.

COMMENTARY THE BAD NEWS IS YOU NEED A PROCEDURE YOU CAN'T AFFORD. THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU GOT A D.U.I. AND HEALTHCARE IS FREE IN PRISON! America tops list of most incarcerated According to figures from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, this population has increased an average of 3.5 percent a year since 1995. Using Census figures, this is more than three times the annual population growth rate. Just because America is a better place to live than places like Saudi Arabia, Sudan or Indonesia, does not by default make it No.1. In fact, America isn't No.1 in environment, education, life satisfaction or savings rate. However, we are number one in people incarcerated and the cost of health care. The only good thing about a high inmate population is that it keeps unemployment low. At 5 percent we have a lower rate than most countries in Western Europe. For example, a country like France has In 2006, the bipartisan Commission on Safety and Abuse in America's Prisons reported "67 percent of former prisoners are rearrested and 52 percent are reincarcerated, a recidivism rate that calls into question the effectiveness of America's corrections system, which costs taxpayers $60 billion a year." For some odd reason, the "freest country" in the world has the greatest number of people in jail or prison. In February, The New York Times reported that America reached 2.3 million people behind bars. This is the first time more than 1 in 100 American adults were behind bars, though we continue to lead the world in people incarcerated. NICK MANGIARACINA Arrogance leads to stagnation. That stagnation leads us to fall behind in the world. Uncle Sam is shouting from a dark corner with a plastic fifth of Vodka in hand, "I don't have a drinking problem. You don't know me. America is the best country in the world!" Yes, you're right Sam, just not in the way you see it through your hazy eyes and in your dizzy head. a 3 percent higher unemployment rate than America, but the incarceration rate is about one-eighth of what it is the U.S. According to the BBC, England leads Western Europe in inmates. Though even there, the unemployment rate is about one-fifth of what it is in America. Luckily, you can't technically be unemployed when it's impossible for you to have a job. No country in the world pays more for health care than the United States. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, in 2004 the U.S. spent 15 percent of GDP on health care. In February, MSNBC reported that total health care costs will top $4 trillion by 2017 at the current 6.7 percent a year average annual increase. Yet, despite this runaway spending, 40 million Americans still have no health insurance. There's nothing like the freedom to have a catastrophic illness destroy your life. As for our health care system, we can sit here all day and talk about how great it is or how terrible it is. Let's look at the facts. As for quality of care, The World Health Organization ranks the United States as 37th best in the world. We are two spots above Cuba and two below Dominica. This is a fair ranking when you break down the health care system. Mangiaracina is a Lenexa senior in journalism. The life expectancy of an American is 78 years, which puts us at 26th in the world. As for infant mortality, America is second-worst in the industrialized world. CNN reported in 2006 that "American babies are three times more likely to die in their first month as children born in Japan, and newborn mortality is 2.5 times higher in the United States than in Finland, Iceland or Norway." Health care will only become more important as baby boomers retire. In 2003 the Center for Disease Control said, "The rapid growth in the number of older persons, coupled with continued advances in medical technology, is expected to create upward pressure on health- and long-term-care spending. In 1997, the United States had the highest health-care spending per person more than 65 years (512,100)." editorials around the world This week, representatives from more than 160 countries are meeting in Bangkok to discuss an international climate treaty to replace the decade-old Kyoto Protocol. Again, the United States is shying away from a leadership role.

Regardless of whether this change is manmade or 100 percent naturalw, there's no excuse for doing nothing. World leaders, especially those in the United States, need at the very least to plan for the increased droughts, altered planting seasons, coastal flooding and stronger storm systems that experts are forecasting. And if we cut air pollution and save energy while we're at it, is that such an awful thing? Arrived furious. Hell Journal Star, Peoria, Ill.

However, having the week off may have allowed the Jayhawks to get their bearings straight after getting swept for the second consecutive weekend. BY THE NUMBERS .326 - Ryne Price's batting average, which is second on the team. 1. 047 - Price's OPS, which is on-base percentage plus slugging percentage and leads the team by 99 points. 9 - The number of home runs Price has hit this season, which leads the team and is second in the Big 12. 45 -The number of runs Price has driven in, which leads the Big 12. 82 - The total bases Price has accumulated, which is third in the Big 12. UP TO BAT BUTTONS Ryne Price -Batting in the middle of what has become a bipolar offense, Price has been one of the few constants. He leads the team in nearly every significant offensive category. If his teammates in front of and behind him would follow suit, Kansas could win no matter what its pitching staff does. ON DECK CENTER Erik Morrison - Morrison, a childhood friend of Price's, bats right behind his buddy in the order and may be hitting his usual late-season surge. In the final game of the Baylor series, he went 2-for-2 with two home runs and five RBI. IN THE HOLE Kansas pitching staff - Among Jayhawk pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched, only junior right-handed reliever Paul Smyth (1-3) has a sub-3.00 ERA. Of Kansas' starting pitchers, only senior right-hander Andres Esquibel has a sub-4.00 ERA. As a staff, the Jayhawks have a 1.55 WHIP. GAME DAY KANSAS PREPARES FOR COMEBACK KANSAS GETS READY FOR SERIES AGAINST TEXAS TECH KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH 6 p.m., Hoglund Ballpark, Lawrence Kansas (19-16,1-8) PITCHING The Kansas pitching staff is in shambles. Kansas pitchers are 0-6 against Big 12 competition since the announcement that junior left-hander Andy Marks wouldn't be coming to the rescue after suffering an arm injury. Kansas was swept the last two weekends in large part due to a lack of quality outings from its starting pitchers. In his last two starts, junior left-hander Nick Czyz (1-3) allowed four runs in 9.2 innings (3.91 ERA). The rest of the weekend rotation, in its last four starts, allowed 28 runs - only two of which were unearned - in 7.2 innings (32.50 ERA). It's no surprise Kansas' 5.43 ERA is the highest in the Big 12. The only surprise is the Jayhawks' team ERA isn't higher. Senior right-hander Andres Esquibel (2-2), who leads Kansas with a 3.95 ERA, was added to the starting rotation and responded by allowing seven runs in four innings. After allowing seven runs of his own in Just 1.1 innings, junior left-hander Sam Freeman (4-1) is expected to be replaced in the starting rotation this weekend. Texas Tech (17-16,4-8) The Red Raiders' pitching has been a source of frustration this year and shaky at best. Between their three weekend starting pitchers, sophomore Nathan Karns, junior A Ramos and freshman Chad Bettis, they have a combined 5-10 record. Due to rough starts, Texas Tech has been forced to go to their bullpen early and often. The Red Raiders will need stability out of their bullpen to contend in the dangerous Big 12 Conference. ★★☆★★ PITCHING ★★☆☆★ OFFENSE MLB The Red Raiders have one of the most feared hitters from behl plate in the Big 12 and one of the more consistent offenses. ! OFFENSE As a result of Kansas' poor starting pitching, the Jayhawk offense has fought a seemingly nonstop, uphill battle the last two weeks of conference play. Even though Kansas is third in the Big 12 in runs scored, the Jayhawks are outscored 81-50, scoring 1.5 fewer runs per game than their season average. While it's hard to blame Kansas' hitters for the team's poor conference record, the Kansas offense shows plenty of chinks in its armor. Save for senior right fielder Ryne Price, the heart of Kansas' order floundered against Baylor last Ryne Price is on fi return b struggling bock, Texas. St. Kieschnick are four hitters at the top of the lineup. Leading off for the Red Raiders and car- rying the best batting average of the team at .315, is sophomore Joey Kenworthy. The Red Raiders have four hitters batting above .300 and will need to con- tinue to create run support for their inept pitching. weekend. Senior left hei- John Allman went 0-for-9 with no RBI. Junior catcher Buck Afenir went 1-for-5 in the last two games of the series with no RBI. Before hitting two home runs on Sunday, senior shortstop Erik Marrison was 0. ★★★★☆ for-6 with no RBI. Junior first baseman Preston Land was 0-for-8 before being benched on Sunday. However, the top of the Kansas order hasn't been setting the table, either. Last weekend, Kansas leadoff men went a combined 3- for-12. The lone bright spot for the Jayhawks has been Price, who went 5-for-12 with five RBI and two home runs last weekend. DEFENSE ✩ ✩ ✩ Kansas thought it had it rough against Texas A&M's running game two weeks ago. Well, it will have its hands just as full this weekend with Texas Tech. The Aggies successfully swiped four bases against the Jayhawks, getting caught just once. But the Aggies are just the second best running team in the Big 12. The Red Raiders are No. 1. Fifty-seven times this season Texas Tech stole a base and were caught only 11 times. As a result, senior catcher Joe Southers should see most of the action behind the plate, pushing Afenir into a designated hitter role. Price could also see some time behind the plate, considering his arm strength, but with no errors all season, he's obviously adjusted well to life in right field after playing second base the last two seasons. OLEFENE ★★★☆ DEFENSE Texas Tech's defense is stable this year and something they have had success in. Sophomore Chris Hall starts for the Raiders at shortstop and has been more than reliable this year. Partnering with Hall, sophomore Willie Rueda completes the middle infield at second base and gives Texas Tech an above average middle infield. Sophomore left fielder Taylor Ashby has only committed one error this year and has a .972 fielding percentage. Texas Tech will not make very many errors in the field and it is something they take pride in. ★★★★★ -Tyler Passmore -Shawn Shroyer How many runs will Kansas and Texas Tech score over the weekend? The Jayhawks and Red Raiders have the worst team ERAs in the Big 12 by a long shot. No other schools in the Big 12 have team ERAs above 5.00, meaning fans who make it out to Hoglund Ballpark this weekend could be in for some high-scoring affairs. QUESTION MARK QUESTION MARK KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Andy Pettitte picked up his first victory and Alex Rodriguez and Melky Cabrera both homered and drove in two runs, helping the New York Yankees defeat the Kansas City Royals 6-1 Thursday night and avoid a series sweep. Yankees defeat Royals 6-1, avoiding series sweep Pettitte (1-1) held the Royals to one run and five hits in 6 2-3 innings, and is 7-0 in his past nine starts against them. He has a career record of 12-4 with a 3.06 ERA against Kansas City, which is his best earned run average against any American League club. After throwing 31 pitches in the first inning, when the Royals managed their only run off him, Pettit needed just 61 pitches through the next 5 2-3 innings. Cabrera tied the game at 1 with a solo homer in the third, driving a 1-2 pitch to left off John Bale, the first left-hander the Yankees have faced this vea Will the Red Raiders' pitching woes plague them once again? The Red Raiders have only one glaring weakness: their pitching stable. If the Kansas bats get hot, the Red Raiders could be sent back to Lubbock with a defeat or two. The Yankees seized a 2-1 lead in the fourth when Jorge Posada, who led off the inning with a single and advanced to third on Hideki Matsui's base hit, scored when Jose Molina grounded into a double play. Cabrera and Rodriguez each had an RBI in the fifth. Cabrera's single scored Morgan Ensberg, and Johnny Damon scored on Rodriguez's fielder's choice ground out after his own infield single. replaced Bale for his first appearance in the majors since July 15, 2005, with Tampa Bay. Rodriguez and Posada added back-to-back home runs in the ninth off Hideo Nomo, who Nomo, who is making a comeback at 39 and after having elbow surgery in 2006, worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh. He then got through the eighth without any damage before giving up the homers to Rodriguez and Posada with two out in the ninth. Rodriguez increased his career RBI total to 1,510,moving him one ahead of Mickey Mantle and into 45th place on the all- time list. Jose Guillen's two-out double in the first scored Mark Teahen for the Royals' only run. Bale (0-2) left after six innings allowing four runs and eight hits with a walk while striking out three. The Yankees, who were 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position in the first two games of the series, went 2-for-8 on Thursday night. They are 13-for-74 with runners in scoring position in the first 10 games of the season.

The float included the Haskell Color Guard, the University Band, Cancellor Robert Hemmenway, Athletics Director Lew Perkins and the coaches and players of the men's basketball team. KU KANSAS Alumni, fans fill the streets for 'family-oriented' celebration Taylor Miller/KANSAN BY ANDY GREENHAW AND LUKE MORRIS agreenhaw@kansan.com lmorris@kansan.com Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur gives fans high-fives during yesterday's parade down Massachusetts Street to celebrate the Jayhawks' 2008 NCAA Championship victory. Arthur scored a team-high 20 points in the 75-68 victory against Memphis in the championship game last week. A wave of screaming praise followed the KU men's basketball team down Massachusetts Street Sunday as an estimated 40,000 fans from all over the country showed up at a parade to honor the 2008 NCAA National Champions. The basketball players threw up countless high fives as the train of convertibles they rode in inched its way through the crowded sea of blue shirts that came to commemorate the Jayhawks for their terrific season. The Marching Jayhawks and Spirit Squad led the parade. The basketball coaches followed, then the players. Junior guard Mario Chalmers, whose final shot in regulation against Memphis tied the championship game, received the loudest ovation from fans. Senior guard Russell Robinson lifted the NCAA Championship plaque high above his head as he passed by the cheering masses. It took more than 22 minutes for them to travel just three blocks from Seventh Street to 10th Street. The parade ultimately ended at 19th and Naismith streets. Chalmers said it was a great feeling to see all the fans. "We really appreciate all the support," he said. It was assistant basketball coach Danny Manning's second time in 20 years being in a Jawhawk championship parade. When asked how it felt, he said, "Are you serious? You can't be serious. It's great. It's awesome. It's whatever you want to insert to make me sound like the happiest man alive." Downtown Lawrence was a constant pep rally all day as Rock Chalk chants and songs periodically erupted from the crowd. Most fans in the crowd wore Jayhawk apparel, and even a few dogs sported Kansas jerseys. Aaron Schuster, Andover junior, said the atmosphere was a lot different from Monday when the Jayhawks beat Memphis for the championship. "It's definitely a lot more family-oriented," he said. "It was a lot more planned out, so it's not quite as nuts." Paul Schapker, Prairie Village junior who plays the snare drum in the KU band, said he couldn't be happier to march in the parade. "It's like a dream come true playing in the championship parade," he said. "I'm proud of the team and coach Bill, and I'm glad he's sticking around. And if he ever wants his own private parade to get from his car to the fieldhouse or wherever he might be headed, we'll be there." The parade also gave business owners on Massachusetts Street another reason to celebrate. Many fans filled stores along the street that sold Jayhawk merchandise. Jock's Nitch, 837 Massachusetts, was filled with fans waiting to buy Jayhawk gear, even during the parade. "Today has been insanely busy," said Ryan Owens, Jock's Nitch manager. "For the first time ever, we had to limit the number of people coming into the store." awards ceremony For full coverage of the awards ceremony at Allen Fieldhouse that followed the parade, see 1B. Owens said that employees from the store's seven other locations came to Massachusetts Street to help out. He said the rush at the store started around 10 a.m. "We're in the perfect location for something like this", Owens said. "So many people are here from out of town, and they're checking out the store." "We're KU fans; we don't cause trouble," he said. "We were used to winning." Deputy Sheriff Jay Armbrister said the atmosphere brought back memories from when the Jayhawks won the championship in 1988 when he was 12 years old. He said that people causing trouble were the last thing on his mind. KU alumni traveled from all over the country to celebrate the 2008 championship. Josh Talbott, 1953 graduate, came to watch the parade with his grandson, who he said attended the University of Kansas. Talbott said he had been a Kansas fan since 1948. "That was when we got beat by Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl because we fumbled the ball on the one-yard-line with one minute to go," he said. "For all the close losses we've had over the years, this year was our time to win." Jason and Katie Gorman, both 2001 Kansas alumni, said they thought it was the Jayhawks' destiny to win. "I was here in '88, so it's really cool to be back here again." Katie Gorman said. Lawrence resident Gary Grob said that this year's parade was better than the championship parade in 1988. "It was the greatest thing to ever happen to Lawrence, Kansas," Grob said. "I wish it would've been bigger, but that's okay" Grob and his family sat in the back of his truck, which was parked on Massachusetts Street. Grob said his family parked the truck there at 4 p.m. Saturday to get the prime spot. 2 Edited by Jessica SainBaird 24 --- 2A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2008 quote of the day "It often happens that a man is more humanely related to a cat or dog than to any human being" 3.

INTERNATIONAL Opposition leader named Kenyan prime minister BY TOM MALITI ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya — President Mwi Kibaki named opposition leader Raila Odinga as prime minister Sunday, implementing a long-awaited power-sharing deal aimed at resolving a political crisis that left more than 1,000 people dead. But the focus will be on Kibaki's and Odinga's working relationship. Either side can end the new partnership at any time. The deal — signed more than a month ago — marks the first time Kenya will have both a president and prime minister. But the working relationship between Kibaki and Odinga, which has been frosty in the past, will determine how long the coalition lasts. On Sunday, Kibaki announced the new Cabinet with the 40 ministries split equally between his Party of National Unity and its allied parties and Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement. Kibaki made the announcement a day after holding closed-door talks with Odinga. The two men agreed in February to share power after a dispute over who won Kenya's December presidential election triggered weeks of unrest that killed more than 1,000 people and uprooted 300,000 from their homes. When Kibaki was hurriedly sworn in as president after the disputed December election, Odinga accused him of stealing the vote. Until they signed the peace deal in February, the opposition leader refused to recognize Kibaki as president. But negotiations over the Cabinet dragged on, and the public grew impatient. Scuffles broke out for three days last week in Kenya's largest slum, Kibera, between police and residents protesting the delay. Legally, the coalition will last until either the current parliament's term ends in 2012 or a new constitution — to be negotiated in the next 12 months — is enacted. Kibaki, for his part, declined early in negotiations to share any power with Odinga. or n campus The seminar "New Staff Orientation" will begin at 8 a.m. in 204 Joseph R. Pearson Hall.

Rohit Venkatasubban, Wichita junior and elections commissioner, said that write-in spots on a ballot served the purpose of giving students a voice if they didn't like the registered coalitions and candidates. He said write-in candidates still have to be registered two days before elections in order to get a seat, and those votes can influence how many votes another candidate gets. Venkatasubban said he thought many people filled in write-in spots just for fun. "An empty box that allows you to type whatever you want in it on a ballot is pretty tempting," Venkatasubban said. Some people who got written in were already running for Senate. Venkatasubban said if they were written in the category they were already running for, then the votes got counted in their overall number. Mario Chalmers received the most write-in votes with 107. Forty-two of those were for president, which gave him one percent of that vote. Students wrote him in for more than half of the categories of Senate seats. Mario Chalmers Some students whose names were written in weren't running for Senate and didn't know that people were writing them in. Mario Chalmer was a write-in candidate for more than half of the categories senators. Here are how many votes he got for each position. 42 votes: President 40 votes: Freshman/ Sophomore CLAS 10 votes: Off-Campus 4 votes: Residential 3 votes: Junior/ Senior CLAS 2 votes: Engineering, Graduate, and Journalism 1 vote: Education, and Non-Traditional Total votes: 107 Jarred Harrington, Bonner Springs freshman, received 27 votes, the next highest number to Chalmers. He said he didn't tell anyone to vote for him, but guessed his fraternity brothers in Phi Gamma Delta were writing his name into the ballots. "I was going to this year, but I didn't have time" he said. Harrington plans to run for Senate next year. Celebrities and fictional characters appeared on the ballots many times. One voter wrote in all five members of pop band N*SYNC and even knew that band member Lance Chalmers was not a write-in candidate in these categories: Architecture, Business Fine Arts, Law, Pharmacy and Social Welfare Celebrities, cartoon characters, movie characters and the current and former U.S. presidents all made it on Student Senate ballots. Here are some of the highlights: notable names Batman Baby Jay David Bowie President George W. Bush Captain America President Grover Cleveland Bob Dole Stewie Griffin President Abraham Lincoln Malcolm X McLovin N*SYNC Ronald McDonald Chuck Norris Harry Potter SpongeBob SquarePants Taco Bell dog Tom Cruise Tupac Bass' first name was really James. Celebrities like Tom Cruise, David Bowie and Tupac vied for Senate seats. Students wrote in political figures like President George W. Bush, former grover Cleveland and Abraham Lincoln, Reverend Al Sharpton, former Senator Bob Dole and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Students also wrote in fictional characters such as Batman, Captain America, Stewie Griffin, Harry Potter, SpongeBob SquarePants, Mickey Mouse and McLovin. Prominent athletes at the University were written in many different categories. One student wrote in Mario Chalmers for president and Chuck Norris for vice president. Brandon Rush, Sasha Kaun, Cole Aldrich, Sherron Collins, Conner Teahan and former basketball player Julian Wright all made appearances from the basketball team. A student wrote in basketball coach Bill Self for freshman/sophomore CLAS senator. Students nominated football players Todd Reesing and Aqib Talib for Senate. Other voters showed their displeasure with Senate with write-in spots criticizing the organization. Some comments included, "I wish one of these parties had platforms that mattered," "disband Senate" and "someone not affiliated with the Greek system." Nate Girard, Topeka junior, ran for an education seat with the coalition Students of Liberty. He said he told many people to vote for him, and four wrote him in for junior/ senior CLAS senator. Girard didn't win this year but planned on running next year. "I think a bunch of people don't care or realize that their vote for Senate could create a more positive thing for the University," Girard said. Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird AWARENESS BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com Groups offer free HIV tests on campus Free HIV tests for students mark the beginning of a studentled effort to raise HIV/AIDS awareness this week. 15 Seconds, a student group that promotes HIV/AIDS education, brings free testing to campus in association with the Douglas County AIDS Project and Student Health Services. Testing begins today on Wescoe Beach. Jamie Bergman, Seneca senior and 15 Seconds president, said the rate of HIV infection among college students was a larger problem than many realized. DCAP and Student Health Services will conduct the HIV testing using OraSure, a non-invasive test that detects HIV antibodies by swabbing the inside of a person's mouth. "A lot of people just are not really educated on the issue," Bergman said. "There's a real lack of communication between people, and I don't think students know how important it is to actually get tested." The Center for Disease Control estimates that at the end of 2003, about one-fourth of people in the United States living with HIV/AIDS were unaware of their HIV infection. The CDC also estimates a 42 percent increase from 2000 to 2004 of people ages 13-24 in the U.S.living with AIDS. Students must fill out a short demographic questionnaire before the test, but Elena Ivanov, executive director of DCAP, said any information gathered would be confidential. HIV testing locations Ken Sarber, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center, said Student Health Services would also supply a "health hut" on Monday and Wednesday for increased privacy.

Bergman said condoms had up to a 15 percent failure rate because people didn't put them on correctly. That failure rate is most common in college-aged students, she said. The link between unprotected sex and HIV infection has been illustrated by the CDC, which reports high-risk heterosexual activity as the leading cause of HIV infections among women and the second leading cause among men. Male-to-male sexual contact is the primary cause of infection among men. Sarber said the risk of infection meant sexually active students should get tested every six months. national stats -The presence of a sexually transmitted disease greatly increases the likelihood of a person acquiring or transmitting HIV -13 percent of people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2004 were 13-24 -67 percent of men diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2005 were infected by male-to-male sexual contact -80 percent of women diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2005 were infected by high-risk heterosexual contact Source: The Center for Disease Control Appointments are not necessary for on-campus testing this week, and Ivanov said students would receive results in two weeks. At that time, Bergman said DCAP would return to campus to give results and provide counseling if necessary. Edited by Katherine Loeck Life Happens.

She says she wants to dedicate her life to international philanthropy. LAS VEGAS - A 26-year old entrepreneur from Texas was named Miss USA on Friday, besting 50 other beauty queens for the coveted crown. "I want to talk to people about how to set a goal and achieve it," she told The Associated Press after the show. "Because I just achieved my goal." Stewart edged out first runner-up Leah Laviano of Mississippi and Tiffany Andrade of New Jersey. Miss USA 2007 Rachel Smith relinquished the crown — and the posh New York apartment that comes with it — in a show aired live by NBC with hosts Donny and Marie Osmond from the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The network co-owns the parent Miss Universe Organization with Donald Trump. Smith, a former Miss Tennessee USA, said she was headed to Hollywood. Stewart was headed for the publicity circuit. She said she was eager to travel and spread her message of self-improvement to young women. She noted she was one of only a handful of black woman crowned Miss USA in the pageant's 57-year history. "I think the United States is coming together," she said, citing the historic presidential candidacies of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. She declined to name her preference.

The policy of apartheid (legalized racial segregation) that occurred in South Africa was a disenfranchisement of its citizens by the minority white government. Israel, however, is a sovereign nation that occupies the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Neither is a country and is not part of Israel. Non-citizens who live there are not given the same rights as citizens. Israel's policy of checkpoints and its construction of a security barrier are designed to defend its citizens from violence. This policy was a racist policy which differentiated between white and black. The policy of apartheid was not meant for security. The issues underlying the creation a Palestinian state are very complex. One obvious issue is the terrorist groups, recognized as such by both the United States and Europe, that have considerable influence within the occupied territories. Terrorism should not be confused with nationalistic resistance. Hamas is not dedicated to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state that lives in peace alongside the State of Israel; rather, its charter calls for the destruction and elimination of Israel. Negotiating with Hamas would be like negotiating with Al Qaeda, a group committed to the establishment of a universal caliphate. Israel is a democracy that represents the myriad views of its citizens. Some are liberal, cosmopolitan and secular. Others are conservative and religious. Some are nationalistic and some Zionistic. Some are Arab. But all have a voice within the Knesset. The same cannot be said for the autocratic Arab regimes that how to submit Add comments on all letters, columns and editorials at kansan.com.

Given the complexity of Israeli politics, it is difficult to come to a satisfactory political solution. But it is all the more difficult when the residents of Sderot and Ashkelon, civilians, are subjected to errant missiles that land on their hospitals, schools and kindergartens. The duty of the state is to protect the security of its citizens. This necessitates action on the part of the Israeli army. Israeli leadership has made poor decisions; but there is a robust, independent media that is there to point out the errors and plenty of social action groups to advocate on behalf of the Palestinians. Where is the independence in the Arab media? Where are the social action groups decrying the deaths of Israeli civilians and lobbying their leadership for policy changes? It is precisely this imbalance that Anderson fails to report. He claims that Israel treats every Palestinian as a terrorist, yet he treats every Israeli as a monster complicit in the supposed extermination of the Palestinians. Failing to explore, in a balanced fashion, the nuances of what is really going on is what makes the column counterproductive to advancing a solution. The cessation of funds from America to one of its staunchest allies is not going to solve the plight of the Palestinians. Daniel B.

COMMENTARY Kids growing up faster and faster I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN THIRD GRADE. WE HATED MY TEACHER. WE CALLED HER "MILLER THE KILLER." YEAH, I HAD HER TOO. SHE USED TO MAKE US CUPCAKES ON OUR BIRTHDAYS. THIRD GRADERS PLOT TO KILL TEACHER Luckily for the students, the only thing more out of date than their teacher is the Georgia criminal code, which does not allow for the 8 and 9 year olds to be charged with a crime. BRANDON T MINSTER Otherwise, they would have to find time in their busy adult-like schedules for arraignments and Dateline NBC interviews. Kids these days are so much more resourceful than I was at their age. It used to be that all a kid had to worry about was being picked last for kickball or dodgall. (These were dangerous activities — like prostitution or iron smelting — that children were allowed to do in less-enlightened times.) Now kids have therapy sessions, spinning classes and benefit dinners. I'd tell my children they are growing up too fast, but they ignore my e-mails on their Blackberrys. Even misbehavior in school used to be simpler. When I was in second grade, my class had a tyrannical teacher. She terrorized the children who ate the dried macaroni noodles used for multiplication problems. It was rumored she had pulled out a handful of a student's hair the year before. She kept me after school for using the word "nincompoop." She told me, "We don't swear in my classroom." One day she was absent, so we made our move, picketing at lunch for her dismissal. The lunch lady reported us, and when our teacher returned, she questioned the ring-leaders: the girl who lived across the street from me and me. The girl turned state's evidence, claiming it was all my idea. Was it all my idea? On the advice of my lawyer, I refuse to answer that question in keeping with my rights under the Fifth Amendment. Last week, though, third graders in Georgia took the reaction of frustrated students into the new millennium, plotting to attack their teacher with a broken steak knife. The teacher asked why I did it. "Because we don't like you," I said. (I was a very forward child.) The rest of that school year was not fun. The teacher was described as a "veteran educator," meaning she has old-fashioned notions regarding the appropriate times for students to stand on chairs. When she tried to stop a student who hadn't gotten the chair-standing memo, she precipitated the conflict. They also had handcuffs (obviously brought by the student with the kinky parents) and electrical tape (brought by the student with possibly kinkier parents, or maybe just a parent who is an electrician). Minster is a Lawrence senior in economics. This teacher is apparently laboring under the old notion that childhood is an innocent time that is meant to be cherished. The new ideology is that childhood is the new virginity: something shameful that is flung away to the first older guy with a moped and a bad teenage moustache who comes along. Without having to waste valuable Internet-surfing time ducting parental interviews, I can tell you right now what their parents would say: "It's all her fault. My precious little [non-harmful woodland creature] wouldn't hurt a [widely detested vermin]" Of course they are correct. The teacher and her outdated worldview is to blame. Her obsolete pedagogy probably doesn't even have room for teacher-student sex, no matter how mature the 32-year-old teacher finds her 14-year-old male students to be. Get with the times, lady! editorials around the state Execs don't mention profits in gas prices Bigwigs from the biggest U.S. oil companies made some salient points recently in a House of Representatives committee meeting. Regular 403 $ \frac{9}{10}$ Plus 413 $ \frac{9}{10}$ Premium 423 $ \frac{9}{10} $ In explaining the high and rising price of a tank of gas, they noted, correctly, that the decline of the U.S. dollar has been a factor in rising oil prices. They further cited growth in global demand, geopolitical circumstances, the rising costs of doing business and U.S. limits on where they can dig for oil as factors contributing to higher oil prices. All have some validity. Conspicuously absent from their list, however, was their company profits. Last year those profits were considerable. In 2007, ExxonMobil, Shell, BP America, Chevron and Cono- ASSOCIATED PRESS coPhillips reaped a combined $123 billion in profits. Those are the companies whose officials gathered in the House committee hearing. They said they need the generous tax breaks Congress provides them and argued that their profits are justified because theirs is a cyclical business. That's what they told lawmakers two years ago when oil was about $60 a barrel, and it's what they said 18 months ago when oil was $75 a barrel. We'll bet they say it when a barrel of oil costs $125 or $150. Oil companies are not only entitled to seek profits but must make profits to continue to operate. And there is much that the oil companies cannot control tension in the Middle East, for example. Yet their straight-faced defense of such massive profits that result in part from the tax breaks subsidized by the same people who increasingly struggle to fill their tanks amounts to a defense of greed. The oil companies have needed and gotten help in the past. Now it's their customers who need help.

The Center for Community Outreach will play host to the week-long event that raises awareness for volunteering opportunities. BY BRENNA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com Into the Streets Week raises awareness this week for volunteering opportunities available at the KU Center for Community Outreach. The week began Saturday with the Douglas County AIDS Project Walk in downtown Lawrence. Throughout the week, an event will be presented for almost each program the center offers. The Center for Community Outreach, which has almost 2,000 volunteers at the University, offers 15 programs for student volunteers. Programs include the Jubilee Café, which provides breakfast twice a week for community members in need of a warm meal, and Mentors in the Lives of Kids, which volunteers with local children. Ali Ziegler, Philippines sophomore, coordinates the week-long event and said the center held fun activities for students such as crafts and interaction with children. She said Into the Streets Week brought in more student volunteers to the center. "We can advertise, but the best way to do it is to see the programs in action." Ziegler said. Dan Pierron, Olathe senior and co-director of the center, said one of his favorite events of the week was today's Empty Bowl Project. People paid $5 a bowl to paint and fire them at Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St. The bowls have been filled with meat chili, vegetarian chili and brownies, and will be given away from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wesco Beach for a $5 suggested donation. Another highlight of the week is today's Mentors in the Lives of Kids Recess at 3:30 p.m. at Woodlawn Elementary, 508 Elm St. Volunteers go to the school and play games such as kickball with the children. Amanda McIntosh, Clay Center junior and program coordinator, said it was important to have a volunteering resource for students on campus. She said the more accessible the center was, the more likely students were to volunteer. "Volunteering gives you a look at the bigger picture," McIntosh said. She said Into the Streets Week gave students many opportunities to volunteer, but they didn't have to choose just one option to be interested in. Pierron said the best way to get involved with the center was to visit its Web site at www.ku.edu/~cco. He said the center sent out weekly e-mails and each program had its $1,000.00 pre-paid MasterCard to any KU resident, Med Student, KU Nursing Student or KU Employee with ID that purchases a new Condo by June 15th Experience life from a new point of view...

KANSAS visit KU ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The University of Kansas --- SPORTS JEFFREY DANIELS HAWKS TAKE ONE LOSS,ONE VICTORY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM KANSAS STATE DEFEATS ROWING TEAM IN REGATTA PAGE 6B MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2008 PAGE 2B 》 BASEBALL PAGE1B 10 Jon Goerina/KANSAN Senior left fielder John Allman lunges to make a catch during Sunday's game against Texas Tech at Hogul Ballpark. The Jayhawks defeated the Red Raiders 5-2. Kansas improved to 22-16 on the season and 4-8 in the Big 12 with the victory. Hawks catch victory against Red Raiders Kansas rises to seventh place in the Big 12 In scoring 18 runs to win the first two games of its series with Texas Tech, Kansas took advantage of gusting winds and erratic Red Raider pitching. But on Sunday, the Jayhawks relied on strong defense and savvy pitching — which has suddenly become commonplace — to complete its first Big 12 sweep since 2006. The game wasn't all pitching and defense, though, as Kansas (22-16, 4-8) capitalized on three home runs in its 5-2 victory against Texas Tech (17-19, 4-11). The victory lifted Kansas from 10th place to seventh in the Big 12. BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com "When you're in last place in this conference, and you've got nine teams standing in front of you, and you're trying to get into the Big 12 Tournament, it was going to take a special weekend for us to get back in it," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. Walz lasted 5.1 innings, and in five of six innings he allowed Texas Tech's leadoff hitter to reach Freshman right hander T.J. Walz got the first weekend start of his Kansas career and while he flirted with disaster throughout the afternoon, he kept the Jayhawks in the game. base — three times walking Red Raider second baseman Willie Rueda. But after walking Rueda to lead off the third, Walz promptly picked him off at first base. Senior Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird "It's the first time that we've gotten three quality starts all year on the same weekend." Price said. "We've scored enough runs in every series to win two out of three, but our pitching didn't quite get it done." In the fourth, Texas Tech right fielder Roger Kiesnick led off the inning with a base hit, but Kansas junior catcher Buck Afenir nailed Kiesnick when he attempted to steal second base. The next inning Walz faced the minimum for the third straight time, aided by a 5-4 3 double play to end the inning. lead off the sixth inning and was taken out after Rueda moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt. However, Walz's final walk to Rueda cost him the decision. Nursing a 1-0 lead that came on a solo home run by freshman designated bitter Jimmy Waters in the third inning, Walz put Rueda on to left fielder John Allman got Walz out of the inning with a diving catch on a shallow fly ball hit by Texas Tech third baseman Joey Kenworthy. After a one-out walk by Allman, Afenir sent his fifth home run of the season into the batter's eye above the center field wall. With that, Texas Tech right hander Chad Bettis (3-3) exited after 5.1, otherwise solid, innings. But after scoring just one run in the first five innings, the Kansas offense exploded for four runs in the sixth to retake the lead. Junior reliever Paul Smyth (2-3) came in for Walz and allowed the Red Raiders to knot the game, 1-1, surrendering a two-out single to Texas Tech left fielder Doug Thennis that drove Rueda home. "It's the first time that we've gotten three quality starts all year on the same weekend." home run game of the series. "Our offense this whole year has done a pretty good job of answering back when the other teams scored, and it showed really well this weekend," Land said. RITCH PRICE Kansas coach With its pitching staff coming together, Kansas' offense isn't feeling the same stress it has felt so far in Big 12 play. Texas Tech tacked on another run in the eighth to cut Kansas' lead to 5-2. But Smyth, in 3.2 innings of relief, held the lead and sealed the sweep for Kansas. "When you get three quality starts like we had this weekend, it takes the pressure off the hitters." Land said. "We know that if we put up four or five runs, then we've got a pretty good chance of winning. When our pitchers pitch like they did this weekend, it's just huge for the offense and the defense." POSTSEASON SPOTLIGHT 'Mr. Jayhawk'times five Self presents Kansas' seniors with Danny Manning award at ceremony Weston White/KANSAN WILLIAMS The five departing seniors stand in anticipation to receive the "Mr. Jayhawk" award, which is normally given to just one player. Kansas coach Bill Self wipes away tears after hearing Darnell Jackson's senior speech during the men's basketball awards banquet at Allen Fieldhouse Sunday night. BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Weston White/KANSAN THE ROW Kansas coach Bill Self and his staff just couldn't decide. Who was going to walk away with this year's Danny Manning "Mr. Jayhawk" award? An accolade awarded to the player who best embodies what it means to be a Kansas basketball player. Let's see, you had senior guard Russell Robinson, who won the award the past two years. Or maybe senior center Sasha Kaun, who rose to occasion when the games mattered most. Or how about senior guard Jeremy Case, who dedicated the last five years of his life to Kansas basketball. Rod Stewart played through adversity off the court this season, and his injury at the Final Four inspired his teammates to victory. Or perhaps the award could go to Darnell Jackson, who's battled through a lifetime of adversity at the age of 22. Nope. Bill Self had a better idea. "This will probably be the only time this will happen," Self said last night at Kansas's postseason awards ceremony at Allen Fieldhouse. "Our 'Mr. Jayhawk' award goes to our five seniors." The team that shared the spotlight and ball all season long shared the spotlight again last night. With a crowd of more than 10,000 on hand, Kansas closed the book on a storybook season. "I'm only 22, but this is going to be the best part of my life," Robinson said. The night began with words from University Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Athletics Director Lew Perkins. "They've taken us all on a miracle ride." Perkins said. Next, the crowd was treated to a year-in-review video with special cheers reserved for the Big 12 Championship game against Texas, the Final Four victory against North Carolina and Mario Chalmers' now historic shot against Memphis. With a myriad of cameras flashing, Kansas' five seniors each gave speeches. "I love everybody in this gym." Jackson said, fighting back tears. Self spoke next and thanked his entire staff. "You can't have a higher high than we've had this week," Self said. Next, Self shared special thoughts on each player and awarded the Mr. Jayhawk award to his five seniors. When it was all done, and "One Shining Moment" had played one last time, Chris and Liz Dodds, a Topeka couple, stood near the door of the Kansas locker room and held their infant daughters Parker and Piper, who were adorned with matching pink Kansas shirts. "I was 9 years old when they won it the last time," Dodds said. "I wish my dad would have brought me here." Seems a lot of Kansas fans shared the same sentiments as the Dodds. Hundreds of young children were speckled in 2008 National Champions The University of Kansas Wecton White/KANSAN Cansas Athletic Director Lew Perkins holds his hand up and says, "I promise you by next year we will have five (championships)." "erkins helped bring home a 2008 Orange bowl and NCAA National Championship victory in his fifth year as athletic director. the Allen Fieldhouse crowd, each fighting to get a glimpse of the National Champions. "It's part of history," Dodds said. — Edited by Katherine Loeck FOOTBALL team gears up for spring practice game BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com The Kansas football team certainly deserved kudos for its 2007 season. The Jayhawks went 12-1, marched up the top 25 polls nearly every week and won the Orange Bowl. 1 But as the Jayhawks prepare to play in the annual spring game at 7 tonight, the overwhelming success of last season isn't breeding any complacency. Junior running back Jake Sharp runs upfield in a game last season. Sharp is one of three running backs who will be competing for carries next season in tonight's spring football game. "We worked harder this offseason, definitely, than in past offseasons I've been here," junior running back Jake Sharp said. "Everybody is buying into what we're doing here. There's no, 'Why are we doing this?' We're doing this because we're Orange Bowl champs." KANSAN FILE PHOTO Motivation aside, Kansas will have to replace several key components of its 2007 team, including two of the offensive linemen who paved the way for Sharp and protected junior quarterback Todd Reesing. Left tackle Anthony Collins entered the NFL Draft after his junior year, and right tackle Cesar Rodriguez exhausted his eligibility, leaving a four-way battle for the two spots at the ends of the offensive line. Senior Matt Darton and redshirt freshman Jeff Spikes are competing to take Collins' place at left tackle. Darton started one game last season when Collins suffered an injury. Spikes, at 6-foot-6 and 314 pounds, has drawn rave reviews from coaches since coming to Kansas one season ago. "Spikes is a guy with a lot of talent," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "He is young, but at the end of the day, he may be one of the most talented offensive linemen we've had here" Either sophomore Ian Wolfe or junior Nathan D'Cunha will inherit Rodriguez's spot at right tackle. Wolfe saw action as a reserve last season, but is undersized at 280 pounds. D'Cunha is a native of Campbelltown, Australia, who is 25 years old but has only played one season of college football. tial replacements. Sharp started one game in 2007 and finished 12th in the Big 12 Conference with 821 rushing yards, but his production tailed off near the end of the season. Fans could also get a sneak peek at who will be running behind Kansas' retooled offensive line Saturday. Last season's leading rusher, Brandon McAnderson, graduated, leaving several poten- Junior Angus Quigley and sophomore Carmon Boyd-Anderson each contributed in late-game situations last year and participated with the second-string in this year's spring practices. "The running back position should be positive for us with Jake coming back," Mangino said. "We are anxious to see what Angus Quigley will do, running the ball and blocking, as well." Several potentially important pieces of next season's squad will not appear Saturday. Transfers such as junior running back Jocques Crawford and sophomore punter Alonso Rojas have not arrived on campus yet but could snag starting positions in 2008. Senior linebacker Joe Mortensen, senior center Ryan Cantrell and junior safety Justin Thornton will not participate in spring practices because of injuries. — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld --- 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2008 sports trivia of the dav Q: Who holds the record for making the most consecutive cuts in the history of the Masters?

The temperature was teetering in the thirties and sleet was falling from the sky. The Kansas rowers splashed their oars through the frigid lake, soaking them from head to foot. Coach Rob Catloth, however, seemed less than sympathetic. "You think it was cold out there today?" he asked the crowd after the regatta. "It was 14 degrees at this event last year." Catloth also believed that Kansas State's varsity teams came out with more intensity. The regatta began with close to dominating performances by Kansas' two novice teams. The Novice Four team won by the largest margin of the day, surpassing the Wildcat rowers by about 28 seconds. The Novice Eight A Team had the fastest time of any of the boats, varsity included, coming up with an impressive time of 7:12.8. Despite the temperature and precipitation, the meet went on as scheduled between the Kansas and Kansas State rowing teams and ultimately ended in a 13-8 victory by the Kansas State Wildcats. The victory made the Wildcats the winners of the annual Kansas Cup, held this year at Wyandotte County Lake in northern Kansas City. will compete for open spots on the varsity teams, which will have at least four openings after the graduation of seniors Kara Boston, Alia Bober, Hailee Jones and Elisheva Patterson. Because it was Senior Day, the four were honored after the match by Catloth, their parents and the crowd. "Kansas State was more races-savvy than we were," Catloth said. "Hopefully that will change when we get more races under our belt." The novice teams are comprised of freshmen and sophomores, most of whom never rowed in high school and were recruited to row when they arrived at the University. Many of the rowers on the novice teams "We have a very solid group of novice rowers," Cottal said. The two varsity teams did not fare as well as the novice teams. The First Varsity Eight team fell by a time of 6.7 seconds, and the Second Varsity Eight team was bested by only 4.0. Kansas State's two victories were worth eight and five points, respectively, comprising its winning 13 point total. Kansas received its eight points from the Novice Four's three-point victory and the Novice Eight's five-point victory. This is the third time in the previous four years that Kansas State has won the Kansas Cup. However, with a more experienced team next year, Catloth hopes he can change that. The team will try to gain some confidence next weekend in Tennessee, competing in the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association championships. This regatta will act as preparation for the South-Central Regionals which will take place in mid-May on the same waters.

The Kansas weather was on hand this weekend, as the Jayhawks used the wind to launch balls over the Hoglund Ballpark fence. Junior first baseman Preston Land was one of the Kansas players to hit home runs, homing in both Saturday's and Sunday's games. Although the wind aided some of the Jayhawks' long balls, Land's towering shots would have been out of Yellowstone Park. Land's average climbed to.248 on the weekend, and the two home runs brought his total to five. Sunday's game was sparked by Land's home run, while also having junior catcher Buck Afenir and freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters go deep. Land's momentum this weekend will carry him into a tough following week when the Jayhawks travel to Lincoln, Neb., to face the Cornhuskers. "Coach was out there telling us in the huddle that after this weekend, we jumped from tenth to seventh,"Land said. "It is huge motivation and gets us ready for our next series." The Jayhawks are starting to climb the ladder in the Big 12 and are going to have to rely on continuing to hit. The Jayhawks will face a tough Missouri State team Wednesday before they get that next chance. Tyler Passmore 21 Jon Goering/KANSAN Weston White/KANSAN HAMMOND Casey Larson, senior center fielder, dives safely back into first base. Larson hit 2-3 and scored two of the Jayhawks' 9 runs in their 9-5 victory over Texas Tech Friday afternoon. Preston Land, junior first baseman, takes a throw-over to first base from freshman pitcher T.J. Walz. Land gave Kansas a 5-1 lead against Texas Tech with a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning. NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma. It pays to save a life.

BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com The University softball team split its doubleheader with the University of Texas Sunday. The Jayhawks won the first game 8-1, but lost a close second contest with a score of 2-1. The Hawks had the offense going in the first game on Sunday. The team scored in three of the four innings that it got a leadoff hit. In the fourth inning, the team played nearly perfect small ball. Junior third baseman Val Chapple opened the inning with a double. Freshman right fielder Liz Kocon then lay down a sacrifice bunt to move Chapple to third base and freshman catcher Brittany Hile drove in Chapple with a sacrifice fly. The run, along with a run scored by junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto in the first inning, put the team up 2-0. The offense really started clicking in the fifth innning though. The Jayhawks loaded the bases, and after Texas sophomore pitcher Erin Tresselt allowed one run to score on a walk, Chapple drove in two more runs on a bases-loaded double. The team put two more runs on the board and scored one run in the sixth to solidify the victory. Junior pitcher Valerie George kept the Longhorns in check. Even without the added run support from the big fifth inning, George was still in control of the game. She gave up five walks to Texas but was able to get out of jams, including a basesloaded situation in the third inning without any trouble. Chapple said that George's amazing pitching had been a big benefit for the team. "Sometimes we've had to lean on her too much," Chapple said.

According to KU Public Safety Office's Web site, 664 crimes were reported to the office in 2007, which was a $^{10}$ percent decrease from the 737 crimes reported in 2006. However, the Lawrence Police Department reported 16,710 crimes in 2007, which was a two percent increase from the 16,373 crimes reported in 2006. Kim Murphree, of the Lawrence Police Department, said she could not say why the number of crimes reported in Lawrence had increased. The number of crimes reported to RCU Public Safety has decreased by 50 percent in the last 10 years, however crime reports in Lawrence areon the rise. fchambers@kansan.com Murphree also said it was important to look at which types of crime had increased in Lawrence. For example, motor vehicle theft numbers have fluctuated with 248 reported in 2004, a decrease to 200 in 2005, an increase to 223 in 2006, and a decrease to 202 in 2007. Murphree said the increase in crime could be linked to population, weather or laws among other possibilities. She said as far as she knew the police department had not done an analysis on the reports. Reported crimes on campus may have decreased in 2007, but the number of crimes reported so far this month. 52, is almost equal to last year's monthly average, 55 crimes, and April is only halfway over. Capt. Schuyler Bailey, of the Public Safety Office, said he had not analyzed this year's information. He said he could not attribute the high number to the Kansas basketball team's victories because crime had always occurred on campus. He also said he could not compare this April to last April because the office did not do a month by month analysis. Two crimes were reported by the department of French and Italian in Wescoe in the last month. Both incidents were thefts and burglaries, one of which included criminal damage to property. Though the number itself is not high, Van Kelly, chairman of the department, said they were the first crimes that had been reported since he had been named chairman four years ago. Kelly also said he could not comment on whether the crimes, which both occurred on evenings Kansas was playing in the NCAA tournament, were related to the team's victories. Bailey, who has worked at the Public Safety Department for 24 years, said he had visibly noticed the decrease in crime on campus. Bailey said the number of thefts from vehicles had decreased drastically. Thefts declined from 202 in 1997 to 38 in 2007. Kelly, who has worked at the University since 1989, said he hadn't noticed a decrease in crime, but he said the recent crimes had made him more observant of his surroundings. Bailey attributed the decrease in reported crimes to new technology and the office's increased efforts in educating students about safety issues. He said in the past the office did not talk to students and parents at new student orientations. He said that the office had also expanded programs like "Safe Spring Break" to the greek community. The University also installed a surveillance system in 2005 that monitors all of the parking lots and public areas around all the residence halls and two scholarship hallis. Bailey said that criminals had been caught because of the cameras, but said he did not know how many. Bailey said he has always felt safe on campus and he said students should feel safe as well. But he said safety should still be one of student's priorities.

ODD NEWS Kentucky goat causes city commission controversy Kentucky city commission debates allowing woman to keep pet goat FRANKFORT, Ky. — A central Kentucky planning board won't get Gale Warfield's goat, but the city commission might. The issue came up in October when Warfield received a violation notice about the goat and duck she keeps as pets on her residential property. Warfield said the letter informed her that Szokie the goat had to go. Officials in Frankfort are discussing whether goats are livestock or pets. Then she received a second letter saying he could stay while officials decide what he is. Last month, the city's planning commission proposed an amendment that would have allowed up to two farm animals to live in the city on land of five acres or more. Under the current regulations, farm animals are only permitted on tracts of five acres or more that are zoned industrial, commercial or agricultural. A public meeting on the proposed changes was scheduled last week but the meeting was canceled and the amendment withdrawn. The members of the zoning committee said the proposed changes were unnecessary. "The committee likes the ordinance as is," said City Planning Director Gary Mueller. "To me a goat is a farm animal." Mueller said the City Commission would have to enact any changes. "The consensus of the committee is to recommend this to the City Commission, instead of amending any ordinance," he said Warfield said she's distraught because the situation is still unresolved. "I don't know what to do from one day to the next," she said. "I'm at a loss for words on all this." ASSOCIATED PRESS She'll plead her case one last time to the City Commission on April 28. If Warfield is forced to get rid of Szokie, she said, she'll try and find him a good home that will love and care for him. Officers said a customer then tackled the man, but the robber broke free and bolted out the door. "He's not a typical farm animal!" Warfield said."I don't want him to be sold to a stockyard for slaughter." Police said a masked man flashed a knife at the Cigarette Outlet on Friday and forced one employee to the floor, then demanded money from another worker, Ruth Wricht. DES MOINES, Iowa — A cigarette store cashier has snuffed out a robbery.

Ethiopians know that coffee — which originated in this impoverished East African nation — can be their ticket to the first world. And the biggest profits are in the most gourmet blends. Bids open at $50,000,and the auction closes Thursday. The eBay listing says it will cost $100,000 to ship the 50-foot structure. BERWYN, III. — A towering sculpture of eight cars made famous in the movie "Wayne's World" is up for sale on eBay. Berwyn residents are divided on what to do with the structure which is covered with rust and pigeon droppings. It was supposed to be dismantled last year to make way for a pharmacy, but preservation groups formed and protested. The Spindle — also known as the "Car Kabob" and the "Eight Car Pileup" — draws fans of the 1992 comedy starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. So during the past five years, a partnership has grown between private buyers, humanitarian agencies and local government to nurture homegrown experts in pursuit of ever-more-boutique brews to capture higher prices. California artist Dustin Shuler built the piece in 1989. Coffee already is the main source of foreign currency here. So much so, the government prohibits the selling of export-quality coffee domestically. ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — in a room that resembles a high school chemistry lab, the keepers of the world's oldest coffee culture are learning a new way to understand the rich aroma of a cup of java. That last one is particularly hard here in Ethiopia, where most people have never seen, much less smelled, a walnut. And in a gourmet coffee market dominated by Western corporations and Western terms, that's a handicap. Ethiopia seeks economical benefits from coffee beans Is that a waft of honey? Of shoe leather? Maybe walnuts? Until now, those companies had a near monopoly on the expertise to capitalize on Ethiopia's best beans. The coffee-smelling training is a key step. While Ethiopian farmers and traders can distinguish between exportable and nonexportable beans, they've lacked the training to make more refined — and more lucrative — distinctions. Success also could be good for the country's partners — buyers of gourmet beans — who need new specialty beans with which to woo the type of Western consumers who buy $1,000 coffee makers. But the coffee market fluctuates, and past downturns have threatened Ethiopia's livelihood. Specialty beans are less affected by market dips, and hitching its fortunes to those brews could help the nation stabilize its economy.

MEMORIAL Official WWII museum adds theater to project NEW ORLEANS — The $300-million expansion of the National World War II Museum is under way. The project, slated for completion by 2015, "will be a fitting monument to the sacrifices of a generation of Americans," said Gordon Mueller, president and CEO of the museum. The first two buildings in the expansion are scheduled to be open next year. Plans call for an advanced format theater and a restaurant and entertainment venue dubbed the "Stage Door Canteen" to be constructed across the street from the popular museum. The expansion will eventually include seven buildings on six acres. The 250-seat theater will present a signature film being developed in cooperation with Tom Hanks. It will feature a 4-D theater that will provide a "multi-sensory experience," Mueller said. The museum, called the D-Day Museum when it opened June 6, 2000, was designated by Congress as the official World War II Museum for the country in 2004 and subsequently changed its name. When completed, the museum complex will house a variety of exhibits including a U.S. Freedom Pavilion, Great Campaigns of the War, Land Sea and Air Pavilion to house major artifacts such as ships and planes, and a Liberation Pavilion, which will focus on the Holocaust and the advances in human rights and technology.

The likely Republican presidential nominee is much more conservative than voters appear to realize. McCain leans to the right on But a different label applies to his actual record: conservative. issue after issue, not just on the Iraq war but also on abortion, gay rights, gun control and other issues that matter to his party's social conservatives. The four-term Arizona senator, a longtime member of the Armed rape or incest. Abortion: McCain promises to appoint judges who, in the mold of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, are likely to limit the reach of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. McCain's record is not spotless on abortion: He said once, in 1999, that Roe v. Wade should not be overturned. Services Committee, criticized the earlier handling of the war but has been a crucial ally in President Bush's effort to increase and maintain U.S. forces in Iraq. Besides the war, McCain agrees broadly with Bush and other conservatives on: But that was an aberration in an otherwise unbroken record of opposing abortion rights for women. McCain voted repeatedly to ban federal funding for abortion; he once voted against Medicaid funds for abortion even in cases of "I am pro-life and an advocate for the rights of man everywhere in the world." He voted to require parental consent for abortion and voted to criminalize anyone but a parent crossing state lines with a minor to help get an abortion. McCain also supported a ban preventing women in the military from getting abortions with their own money at overseas military hospitals. "I am pro-life and an advocate for the rights of man everywhere in the world," McCain told the ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHN MCCAIN Presidential nominee Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., speaks to reporters during a news conference at Dallas Love Field Friday, April 11, in Dallas, Texas. McCain has leaned to the right on issue after issue, but many voters still view McCain as a centrist. Votes place McCain in the middle along with themselves and would be likely to vote for him if their candidate is not chosen. Conservative Political Action Conference in February. "Because to be denied liberty is an offense to nature and nature's Creator" - G a y r i g h t s : M c C a i n Gun control: McCain voted against a ban on assault-style weapons and for shielding gun-makers and dealers from civil suits. He did vote in favor of requiring "I'm proud to have led an effort in my home state to change our state constitution and to protect the sanctity of marriage as between a man and woman," he told CNN in March. "I will continue to advocate for those fundamental principals of our party and our faith." opposes gay marriage. True, he does not support a federal ban on gay marriage on grounds the issue traditionally has been decided by states. But McCain worked to ban gay marriage in Arizona. He also supports the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, and he opposed legislation to protect gay people from job discrimination or hate crimes. background checks at gun shows, but in general he sides with the National Rifle Association in favor of gun rights. When the Supreme Court held arguments last month on Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban, McCain said it was "a landmark case for all Americans who believe, as I do, that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms." His conservatism could be a problem for McCain — particularly if this November's contest is as close as recent presidential elections, which were decided by independent-minded voters in the center of the political spectrum. But he might avoid this problem to the extent people know him as an independent-minded politician. And many do view him that way. "People see him as a centrist. They don't see him as a conservative," said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. "In fact, they put him pretty close to themselves, in terms of ideology, and put President Bush way to the right of themselves," Kohut said. And voters who back Clinton and Obama are open to McCain. In a national Pew survey earlier this year, voters placed McCain in the middle, where they placed themselves, when asked to judge the ideology of Bush and the presidential candidates. They placed Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama far to the left. Nearly a third of Clinton supporters said they would back McCain if Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, and more than a quarter of Obama supporters said they would back McCain over Clinton, according to Associated Press-Ipsos polling released Thursday. Democrats are trying to change the perception of McCain. The Democratic National Committee insists that McCain's election would amount to a third term for Bush and Vice President D i c k Cheney. "All he offers is four more years of the failed Bush economy,an endless war in Iraq and shameless hypocrisy its leaders. He called televangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell "agents of intolerance" and has often worked against them. "All he offers is four more years of failed Bush economy, an endless war in Iraq and shameless hypocrisy on ethics reform." He splits from the right over research which extracts stem cells on ethics reform," DNC Chairman Howard Dean said last month. HOWARD DEAN DNC Chairman Whatever the general image of McCain, the Christian right is deeply suspicious of him despite his many conservative positions. McCain has clashed with from human embryos in an effort to develop treatments for Parkinson's. Alzheimers and a range of other diseases. Conservatives object because human embryos are destroyed; McCain supports the research. His record offends not only social conservatives but many fiscal conservatives, too. He pushed to limit the influence of money in politics through campaign finance reforms that, critics say, stomp on the constitutional right to free speech. On the right and across the political spectrum, McCain's image, rather than his positions on issues, seems to form people's opinion of him. Indeed, in choosing presidents, voters often look past issues to character and personality, and most individual issues are unlikely to mean much. But one broader issue could figure prominently in November — the tumbling economy and consequent job losses, home foreclosures and soaring energy prices. Those could prove troublesome for McCain, and not only because he acknowledges he's no economic expert. "We are also in a deeply unpopular war," Curtis Gans, director of American University's Center for the Study of the American Electorate, said. "Where there are these differences, and strong differences, they could be in the Democrats' direction." 》 ECONOMICS Higher food prices require poor families to stretch meals ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Steve Tarpin can bake a graham cracker crust in his sleep, but explaining why the price for his Key lime pies went from $20 to $25 required mastering a thorner topic: global economics. He recently wrote a letter to his customers and posted it near the cash register listing the factors — dairy prices driven higher by conglomerates buying up milk supplies, heat waves in Europe and California, demand from emerging markets and the weak dollar. The owner of Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pies in Brooklyn said he didn't want customers thinking he was "jacking up prices because I have a unique product." "I have to justify it," he said. U. S. food prices rose four percent in 2007, compared with an average 2.5 percent annual rise for the last 15 years, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And the agency says 2008 could be worse, with a rise of as much as 4.5 percent. I have to justify it, he said. The U.S. is wrestling with the worst food inflation in 17 years, and analysts expect new data due on Wednesday to show it's getting worse. That's putting the squeeze on poor families and forcing bakeries, bagel shops and delis to explain price increases to their customers. Higher prices for food and energy are again expected to play a leading role in pushing the government's consumer price index higher for March. Analysts are forecasting that Wednesday's Department of Labor report will show the Consumer Price Index rose at a four percent annual rate in the first three months of the year, up from last year's overall rise of 2.8 percent. For the U.S. poor, any increase in food costs sets up an either-or equation: Give something up to pay for food. "I was talking to people who make $9 an hour, talking about how they might save $5 a week." said Kathleen DiChiara, president and CEO of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. "They really felt they couldn't. That was before. Now, they have to." For some, that means adding an extra cup of water to their soup, watering down their milk, or giving their children soda because it's cheaper than milk, DiChiara said. 7. 2 percent in 2006, according to the USDA. By contrast, the figure was 22 percent in Poland and more than 40 percent in Egypt and Vietnam. Still, the higher U.S. prices seem eye-popping after years of low inflation. Eggs cost 25 percent more in February than they did a year ago, according to the USDA. Milk and other dairy products jumped 13 percent, chicken and other poultry nearly 7 percent. U. S. households still spend a smaller chunk of their expenses for foods than in any other country In Bangladesh, economists estimate 30 million of the country's 150 million people could be going hungry. Haiti's prime minister was ousted over the weekend following food riots there. USDA economist Ephraim Leittag explained the jumps in a recent presentation to the Food Marketing Institute, starting with the factors everyone knows about: sharply higher commodity costs for wheat, corn, soybeans and milk plus higher energy and transportation costs. The other reasons are more complex. Rapid economic growth in China and India has increased demand for meat there, and exports of U.S. products, such as corn, have set records as the weak dollar has made them cheaper. That's lowered the supply of corn available for sale in the U.S., raising prices here. Ethanol production has also diverted corn from dinner tables and into fuel tanks. Soybean prices have gone up as farmers switched more of their acreage to corn. Drought in Australia has even affected the price of bread, as it led to tighter global wheat supplies. The jump has left people in the food business to do their own explaining. Twin Cafe Caterers in lower Manhattan posted a letter on its deli cooler: "Due to the huge increase of the gas, the electricity, the water and all the other utilities, we had to raise the prices a little bit." It went on to say that all its food prices have risen, too. Wonder Bagels, in Jersey City, N.J., posted a letter from its wheat supplier, A. Oliveri & Sons, saying the recent situation was unprecedented.

Need a hint? studentsforku.org KANSAN.COM The University of Kansas KU ENDOWMENT The University of Kansas roots with small-scale film LONDON — He's a style icon known to millions as suave superspy James Bond. So it could be called ironic that Daniel Craig feels at home playing an aging, miserable actor in the low-budget British film "Flashbacks of a Fool." But Craig says it would be "terribly easy" to become like his character Joe Scot, an embittered, fading star who finds no amount of Hollywood hedor ism can fill the void within. "He has failed as a human being, and I wanted to explore that," Craig said. Craig is midway through filming his second Bond thriller, "Quantum of Solace", which is due for release later this year. "Flashbacks" is a return to small-scale, personal projects for Craig. It was written and directed by his longtime friend Baillie Walsh., best known as a director of videos and documentaries for bands including INXS, Massive Attack and Oasis. The actor has not always seemed comfortable with the level of attention he has received since being cast as 007 in 2005. Associated Press NEED CASH?

That moment struck me as one of those "are you kidding me?" moments. Surely these citizens realize that many of the rights in the Bill of Rights are subject to broadening or sharpening of definition by either the Judiciary or the Legislature. Shouldn't those people enamored of the Second Amendment be just as outraged with the Executive and Legislative branches and the extraordinary contempt of the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth amendments and habeas corpus that goes under that nasty title of The Patriot Act? JORDAN WILLIAMS I just don't get gun lovers or the NRA. Yes, I am aware the second amendment explicitly allows for "a well regulated militia" and "the right of the people to keep and bear arms." Yet, I need to remind people that this right isn't absolute. Recently a column in The Kansan addressed Kansas legalizing silencers, machine guns and sawed off shotguns. I decided to take a peek at kansan, com to see some posted comments. The emotional rebuttals were unrelenting (Liberals hate guns, slippery slope, and so forth). Folks went crazy over their "untouchable" gun rights. To cover all the breaches and exceptions would require a critical essay, so I'm going to focus on just the First and Fourth amendments. Ok gun lovers, please understand that one cannot yell "fire" in a full theatre, must obtain a municipal permit to protest, and cannot use hate speech to incite violence. Moreover, the FCC can fine one for indecent speech on the public airwaves. Even more so, libel and slander are not protected, and the current administration is looking into ways to dismantle the protection of anonymous sources the press uses for whistle-blowing. Journalists can be censored when national security is at stake, and critics still wonder why the president, congressmen, senators, and judges are sworn in on a Christian Bible. More perplexing, Senator McCain insists this nation was founded as a Christian nation while completely ignoring the Establishment Clause, and good luck with getting this administration to heed a grievance, let alone a redress of one. As for the Fourth Amendment, the Patriot Act broke many precedents by allowing for the bypass of the Judiciary branch by the Executive. Wiretapping may inadvertently intercept benign calls. The FBI can seize library, financial and confidential health records if it deigns someone as highly suspicious. I would rather have the court give consent for my seizure as a suspected terrorist than the FBI or CIA, because those two get a little trigger happy from time to time. The FBI now only needs a search warrant to check voicemail messages where once a specific and strict federal wiretap warrants was required. In addition, even before the Patriot Act the police were often granted the exception to seize personal effects, like a bloody knife, in a home or vehicle if the item was in plain sight or would have been inevitably discovered. My intention isn't to marginalize the gun control debate or instill fear in others, but to highlight how certain people hyperventilate over the regulation of the second amendment when other rights, presumably as important, are continually up for review. The first ten amendments are meant to operate in tandem, with one holding no more weight than the others. Williams is a Coffeyville junior in English and Pre-Law. BLOGS@KANSAN.COM The Black Rabbit Yesterday I was making my way across Wescoe Beach, head down, discreetly avoiding the overly people-persony Democratites as they preyed on the last of us who hadn't yet voted. I was eventually caught, by someone from United Students of Connected Libertarianisms, and asked if I had voted. I lied and said I had. When they asked me who, I panicked. Thumbing the air towards the large group of people waving the large red flags, I said "China." Josh Anderson @ KANSAN.COM 1 Read more online.

FROM THE DRAWING BOARD TURNS OUT THERE IS SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH POLITICAL EXPERIENCE COMMENTARY Max Rinkel 'Walk-and-talking awkward for all BEN COHEN Editor's note: Cohen is a member of ConnectKU in addition to writing a bi-weekly column for the Kansan. Some people call it "drawing blood." Some people call it "walk-and-stalking." Some people just call it the reason they hate Student Senate. Those of us who commit the act just call it a necessary evil. For a week every spring, Senate coalitions flood Wescoe Beach and then the rest of campus. Coalition members pass out fliers to every single person we see, following them to the ends of the earth (or at least campus), telling them why they should vote for us. I admit that I've taken part in this for the past three years. The term those of us who run for Senate apply to the practice of harassing uninterested students is "walk-and-talking," a single letter separate from one of the previously mentioned terms. Very few of the people who run, regardless of partisan affiliation, honestly enjoy doing this. One can get desperate when trying to be elected by thousands of strangers, and after a while, any idea sounds like a good one. The mindset behind walk-and- talking is that it leaves no stone unturned when searching for people who may be interested in supporting your coalition. The last week before the polls open, when we are allowed to do this, is a period of incredible uncertainty and anxiety to all involved. The members of the various coalitions pour their souls into those Senate campaigns that clog campus for a few weeks every year. I ran twice with the Delta Force coalition and saw two radically different results based on how much we engaged in walk-and-talking. One year, it was discouraged among members of the coalition, and although a fair amount of people were elected, we didn't do all that well. Some years, it is more effective than others. Last Thursday marked the end of the campaign season, which pitted United Students, Students of Liberty and ConnectKU against each other. The election had a significantly better turnout, with around 17 percent of students voting, as opposed to the previous year's 12 percent. It is about as awkward for us to do as it is for you to politely listen and nod at appropriate times. All we ask is that you don't hold it against us the rest of the year. I was elected to Senate for the The next year we reversed directions and did it constantly. The coalition did better, at least in regards to how it stacked up to its competition when the votes were tallied, but that election had a voter turnout that was so low it was a little embarrassing to all involved. first time by something greater than a five-person committee. Everyone who participates in Student Senate elections knows how it looks when we crowd campus and beg you to listen to our rants about how we will bring about world peace and sunshine and puppy dogs if you'll vote for us. This year also saw more people engaging in walk-and-talk. I get the idea from seeing this voter increase that people are enthusiastic about the various coalitions' ideas, things like putting up wind turbines on campus, making Gmail KU's new e-mail system or making it easier to use the Union parking garage. But maybe, just maybe, people are getting used to seeing the coalitions roaming campus to the point that they are starting to warm to it. Cohen is a Topeka sophomore in pre-journalism. That is reassuring because of how much it is pushed on candidates that this is the way to be elected. People have always complained about how annoying walk-and-talking is. The annoyance is understandable, even from the perspective of somebody who has engaged in it for a few years now. editorials around the nation If you're college age or slightly older and a young, hip candidate for president hands you free tickets to a Dave Matthews concert, he's got you registered and he's got your vote.

V 6A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN POLITICS TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 2008 Carter tries for peace with Hamas THE MILITARY OFFICIALS IN AUSTRALIA EXAMINING THE TORNADO BOMB DEVICE. ASSOCIATED PRESS Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, right, listens to police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, center, as he looks at home-made rockets that were fired in the southern Israel city of Sderot, Israel on Monday. Carter deplored Palestinian militants' attacks on Israel as a "despicable crime" as he touched a rocket-battered town BY BETH MARLOWE ASSOCIATED PRESS AIRPORT CITY, Israel Former President Jimmy Carter defended his plan to meet with the top leader of the violently antiIsrael Hamas movement, saying Monday he hopes to become a conduit between the Islamic militant group and Washington and Israel. "I can't say that they will be amenable to any suggestions, but at least after I meet with them I can go back and relay what they say, as just a communicator, to the leaders of the United States," he said. Isolating Hamas is counterproductive, Carter said. Hamas rules the Gaza Strip but is ostracized by Israel, the U.S. and European Union as a terrorist group. The U.S., EU and Israel have blacklisted Hamas for its history of killing some 250 Israelis with suicide bomber attacks and its refusal to renounce violence and recognize the Jewish state. "I think it is absolutely crucial that in the final and dreamed-about and prayed-for peace agreement for this region that Hamas be involved and Syria will be involved," he told a business conference outside Tel Aviv. Israel's top leaders are boycotting Carter during his nine-day Mideast trip, in part because he plans to meet later in the week in Syria with Hamas' exiled supreme leader, Khaled Mashaal. In Washington, State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the U.S. government has "made clear our views that we did not think now is the moment for him or anyone to be talking with Hamas." U. S. officials will be "happy to hear" Carter's reflections on his visit with Hamas, but that they aren't likely to change the administration's views on the militant group, Casey said. The Democratic chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee criticized Carter for meeting with Hamas. Carter "in effect is undermining a current policy which is not just American but held by many others." Rep. Howard Berman of California told The Associated Press. Carter also offered to relay Hamas' views to Israel. If the U.S. agrees to hear what Hamas says, "I hope then the Israeli government will deign to meet with me — they have so far refused," he said. President Shimon Peres, Israel's ceremonial head of state, was the only leader to meet with Carter since he arrived Sunday. Peres, a fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, criticized Carter for planning to meet with Mashaal, calling it a "very big mistake," a Peres spokeswoman said. A schedule released by Carter's aides showed no plans for talks with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni or Defense Minister Ehud Barak. The cold shoulder is a highly unusual brush-off to a former U.S. leader — especially one so closely linked to Mideast peacemaking. In an interview published Monday in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Carter said he intended to use his meeting with Mashaal to press for return of three Israeli soldiers captured by Hamas and the Lebanese Hezbollah militia. He said he would also try to get Carter brokered Israel's historic peace accord with Egypt in 1979, the first treaty it signed with an Arab country. But his popularity fell in Israel after he published a book two years ago drawing comparisons between Israeli policies in Palestinian areas and apartheid in South Africa. The planned talks with Mashaal only fueled Israeli anger. LAWSUIT Hamas to accept an Arab plan for peace with Israel. "The most important single foreign policy goal in my life has been to bring peace to Israel, and peace and justice to Israel's neighbors. I have done everything I could in office and since I left office to do that," the paper quoted Carter as saying. On Monday, Carter toured Sderot, the southern Israeli town targeted most frequently by Palestinian rocket squads in the Gaza Strip. He was shown a house badly damaged by a rocket strike and piles of rusting projectiles collected after hitting the town. More than 1,000 rockets have exploded in Sderot in the past year. "I think it's a despicable crime for any deliberate effort to be made to kill innocent civilians, and my hope is there will be a cease-fire soon," Carter told reporters. J.K. Rowling testifies Web site plagiarized her latest Potter book BY LARRY NEUMEISTER ASSOCIATED PRESS "We all know I've made enough money. That's absolutely not why I'm here," Rowling told the judge in U.S. District Court. NEW YORK J.K. Rowling testified before a packed courtroom in a lawsuit to block publication of a Harry Potter lexicon, telling a judge that the book amounts to a "wholesale theft" of nearly 20 years of her hard work. The British author sued Michigan-based RDR Books last year to stop publication of Steven Vander Ark's "Harry Potter Lexicon," claiming copyright infringement. Vander Ark runs the popular Harry Potter Lexicon Web site, and RDR wants to publish a print version of the site and charge $24.95. Rowling claims the book is nothing more than a rearrangement of her own material and told the judge it copied so much of her work that it amounted to plagiarism. "I think it's atrocious. I think it's sloppy. I think there's very little research," she testified Monday. "This book constitutes wholesale theft of 17 years of my hard work." She also said she has recently started work on her own encyclopedia and plans to donate the resulting profits to charity — adding that she does not expect to complete it for two to three years because she wants to do it right. If Vander Ark's lexicon is published, "I'm not at all convinced that I would have the will or the heart to continue with my encyclopedia," she said. RDR's lawyer, Anthony Falzone, in an opening statement defended the lexicon as a reference guide, calling it a legitimate effort "to organize and discuss the complicated and very elaborate world of Harry Potter." The small publisher is not contesting that the lexicon infringes upon Rowling's copyright but argues that it is a fair use allowable by law for reference books. Rowling said she believed that a victory by Vander Ark could damage the Harry Potter name and embolden imitators. "Should it be published, I firmly believe that carte blanche will be given to anyone who wants to make a quick bit of money, to divert some Harry Potter profits into their own pockets. ... I'm not delighted to have work I consider to be this shoddy associated with Harry Potter," she said. The non-jury trial will be decided by U.S. District Judge Robert Patterson Jr., who must determine whether the use of the material is legal because Vander Ark added his own interpretation, creativity and analysis. The testimony and arguments could last most of the week. Rowling will spend her breaks in the seclusion of a jury room, away from fans of her wildly popular series. The trial comes eight months after Rowling published her seventh and final book in the series. The books have been published in 64 languages, sold more than 400 million copies and produced a film franchise that has pulled in $4.5 billion at the worldwide box office. In sometimes emotional testimony, Rowling recalled starting work on the first book in 1991 when she was 25 and so destitute that she sometimes had to choose between purchasing typewriter ribbon and food. She said the Harry Potter characters were a fantasy world to which she could escape from the hard work of raising a child on welfare as a single mother.

Jon Goering/KANSAN BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com After the jayhawks scored 56 points per game at home in 2007, Kansas mustered only 20 points - between two teams - in the 17-3 blue team victory. The white team, made up of secondstring players, gained just 92 total yards and the blue team, which included most of the team's starters, gained 302 yards on 71 plays. The Kansas spring game brought a bit of sanity back to the Memorial Stadium scoreboard Monday night. It wasn't beautiful football, but the defenses stood out by forcing two turnovers each. "Defensively, we looked sharp," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "I believe we have a chance to have a pretty doggone good defense again." The blue team's offensive struggles started in the second quarter when junior quarterback Todd Reesing threw the ball into the open arms of senior safety Patrick Resby. Resby caught the ball alone in the open field and returned the ball 31 yards. The white team couldn't take advantage of the turnover, as senior wide receiver Gary Green fumbled along the right sideline. The blue team's Chris Harris, sophomore cornerback, recovered the fumble, but the Blue offense gave up possession several plays later when sophomore wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe dropped the ball and sophomore linebacker Drew Dudley snared an interception. "On offense I didn't think it was very pretty," Reesing said. "We struggled with a lot of execution things, myself included. We had too many mistakes on the offensive line and with dropped passes." With freshman quarterback A.J. Steward the white team stalled at the 10-yard line on its ensuing possession. Freshman kicker Jacob Branstetter converted a 27-yard field goal to tie the game at 3-3 with 10:02 to play in the second quarter. quarter. The eight-yard score gave the blue team a 17-3 lead. The blue team found its way into the end zone in the first half, but its experienced defense was the unit responsible for the points. Senior cornerback Kendrick Harper scored on a 23-yard fumble return to vault the blue team to a 10-3 advantage heading into halftime. Harper and Harris, the team's projected starting cornerbacks, combined for nine tackles and two fumble recoveries. "We came out ready to go," Harris said. "We knew from the beginning that we were all used to each other and everybody's back, so we just came out and made plays." The blue offense finally fell into a groove in the second half after a personnel adjustment on the offensive line. Freshman Jeff Spikes moved to left tackle and senior Matt Darton slid to right tackle, a move that gave Reesing more time to work in the pocket. With the white team's defensive linemen at bay, Reesing threw a perfect strike to senior wide receiver Dexton Fields for the first offensive touchdown of the game - with 9:58 to play in the fourth Reeing finished the game 23-for43 with 227 passing yards, and Kerry Meier completed 13 of 18, playing quarterback for the white team. Junior running back Angus Quigley compiled 63 rushing yards on 13 carries, splitting his carries between squads. Briscoe led both teams with 92 receiving yards on eight catches. —Edited by Sasha Roe BASEBALL Hawks fly toward top of Big 12 Conference The team plays Baker tonight at Hoglund shroyer@kansan.com BY SHAWN SHROYER After a 1-8 start against three of the toughest teams in the conference, the Jayhawks are now showing they have what it takes to win in the Big 12. Kansas flexed its muscles during the weekend with an offense that manufactured runs and scored with the long ball, received three strong performances from its starting pitching and displayed impeccable defense as it swept Texas Tech. After having the midweek off last week, Kansas must get back into the midweek swing against two non-conference opponents starting tonight. Kansas (22-16) will play the Baker Wildcats (8-16) today at 6 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark, but Kansas will play host to Missouri State (22-11) Wednesday at 6 p.m. for the marquee midweek matchup. Wednesday's game will be the Jayhawks' final home game of the month before embarking on an eight-game road trip. starting pitchers "They're doing well in their league," Kansas coach Ritch Price said of Missouri State. "They're in the top 15 in the country RPI-wise, they're off to a good start and it's always been a good rivalry every time we play them." It's been such a good rivalry that Kansas hasn't swept a season series with Missouri State since Price's first year at Kansas in 2003. The Jayhawks are in position to take this year's season series with the Bears after winning their first meeting, 11-7, on March 12. In the first meeting, Kansas relied on multiple-hit games from seniors, left fielder John Allman, right fielder Ryne Price and shortstop Erik Morrison to outscore Missouri State, while exhibiting shaky pitching and defense. But, the Jayhawks who are now riding a three-game winning streak aren't the same team they were a month ago. On Sunday, the Jayhawks made numerous diving stops and catches, turned a double play, picked off a runner and threw out a baserunner attempting to steal second base. "Our emphasis was to do a better job of holding runners this year, slide step Tuesday vs. Baker Hiarali Garcia 1-0 3.32 ERA AS Senior shortstop Erik Morrison prepares to throw first base after fielding a ground ball Friday against Texas Tech. Morrison was charged with an error on the play after the throw came up short and bounced past junior first baseman Preston Land. Kansas defended the Red Raiders 9-5 and are set to face Baker at 6 p.m. tonight. Wednesday vs. Missouri State Shaeffar Hall 2-1 4.91 ERA Weston White/KANSAN Afenir has always been productive on offense in the Kansas lineup, but the knock on him throughout his career has been his defense. However, Price finally appears comfortable with Afenir behind the plate regardless of the opponent. One of the biggest differences in Kansas last weekend from a month ago was that junior catcher Buck Afenir was behind the plate all three games of the series. That probably wouldn't have been the case against a running team like Texas Tech in early March. ping and giving our catchers a chance, because we were probably the worst team in America at throwing runners out last year," Price said. "I've just been throwing the ball well, which is kind of odd," Afenir said with a laugh. "Pretty much that's the biggest focus me and Coach (Kevin) Frady have had. He's helped me a lot and I'm just happy that I'm starting to actually get it down there." Freshman third baseman Tony Thompson also appears more comfortable at the hot corner with more than 30 starts. All weekend he made diving plays look routine and showed off a cannon arm on his throws to first. Kansas' stellar defense complemented a pitching staff that had struggled entering the Texas Tech series. After using 12 pitches the weekend before, Kansas needed only seven pitches last weekend. This is the last week Kansas is scheduled to play multiple midweek games. A rested staff should be a welcome change for the Jayhawks. Even if Kansas' pitching staff suffers a setback, it can count on production from its offense. The Jayhawks received production up and down the lineup last weekend, belting 25 hits in the series, including six home runs, en route to scoring 23 runs. With Missouri State coming up Wednesday, Kansas will have its offense, pitching and defense tested. However, the Jayhawks can't get too far ahead of themselves. The last year they swept a season series with the Bears was the last year they lost a game to the Wildcats. —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina COMMENTARY Sloppy spring start leaves room for team improvement BY CASE KEEFER CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM Kansas offensive coordinator Ed Warriner keeps telling incoming running back recruit Jocques Crawford that he needs to be an impact player next season. Crawford, who was named the National Junior College Player of the Year last season at Cisco Junior College in Cisco, Texas, didn't play in the game because he won't be enrolled at Kansas until next fall. But he watched from the sidelines and couldn't After watching Kansas' annual spring football game Monday night, it's apparent why. Ideally in a spring game, the starting offense scores a lot of points — at least more than 10. That's all junior quarterback Todd Reesing and the blue team could muster up in a 17-3 victory against the white team, the second-team defense, in the game. help but think of his potential starting position next fall. "I really like my chances after watching it," Crawford said. "Jocques will come in here and compete like every other guy on the team. But he was recruited because we were hoping he'd have an immediate impact." He should. There were more misfires than in a game of Battleship for the Kansas starting MARK MANGINO Football Coach offense last night. And it started with inefficiency from the running backs. None of the three candidates to replace last year's graduated starter, Brandon McAnderson, were particularly impressive. Junior running back Angus Quigley piled up 63 rushing yards but aside from his two longest attempts, he struggled. Sophomore running back Carmon Boyd-Anderson fumbled the ball inside his own team's 20-yard line that led to a defensive touchdown. Junior running back Jake Sharp hit holes quickly as usual but only recorded 10 carries. Sharp will be a solid change-of-pace back next year but not durable enough to be the starter – he never had more than 15 carries in a game last season. Reeing even chased down senior strong safety Patrick Resby and sophomore linebacker Drew Dudley after the picks and tackled them, which isn't something Kansas coach Mark Mangino would have encouraged because of possible injury. But Reeing couldn't help it. Reeing didn't look the same as the spunky quarterback who rewrote the Kansas record book last year. Like his infamous Orange Bowl celebratory dance, Reesing's spring game was a solid effort but seriously flawed. He overthrew receivers on numerous occasions, was sacked three times and threw two interceptions. "I don't like throwing interceptions and I got pretty pissed," Reesing said. "So if I get a chance to hit you, I'm going to do it." 12 He also probably doesn't like dropped passes. The Jayhawks did that, too. Sophomore wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, who has the potential to be one of Kansas' most potent offensive threats next season, had two notable drops in the game. All in all, the Kansas offense looked alarmingly sloppy last night. Is it something to be worried about? Probably not. After all, there's still four months before the season starts. And when it does, Crawford will be on the field. "Jocpes will come in here and compete like every other guy on the team," Mangino said. "But he was recruited because we were hoping he'd have an immediate impact." 14.

North Carolina State University BIG 12 BASKETBALL Beasley declares for NBA draft ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas State freshman Michael Beasley announces his plans to take part in the NBA draft during a news conference in Manhattan on Monday. BY JOHN MARSHALL ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — After putting together one of the best freshman seasons ever, Michael Beasley is headed to the NBA. Kansas State's All-American freshman announced Monday that he will skip his final three seasons to enter the June 26 NBA draft, where he could be the No.1 overall pick. "It's time to take my game to the next level," Beasley said as his family and several teammates looked on. "I think I proved myself over the course of the season. I just think it's time for new challenges." Fellow freshman Bill Walker also announced Monday that he was making himself eligible for the draft, but he won't sign with an agent. That means that Walker, who averaged 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds this season, can remove his name prior to the draft and be eligible to return to Kansas State for his sophomore year. Beasley dominated his lone college season, averaging 26.2 points and becoming just the third freshman in NCAA history to lead the nation in rebounds at 12.4 game. He had the second-most rebounds and third-most points by a freshman in NCAA history, helping Kansas State to its first NCAA tournament victory in 20 years. Beasley also was a consensus All-American, was named Big 12 player of the year and finished second to North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough for numerous player of the year awards. "Mike's as good as I've seen," said Kansas State coach Frank Martin, seated next to Beasley in front of dozens of reporters. NBA scouts and general managers like him, too. An agile 6-foot-10 power forward. Beasley is exceptionally versatile, able to power his way inside or step out to the perimeter, shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc. NBA officials came out in droves to watch him play at nearly every game, and some general managers spent three to four days at a time in Manhattan, leading to speculation that Beasley would be the No. 1 overall draft pick if he left school early. Millions of dollars awaits Beasley in the NBA, but it still wasn't an easy decision to leave school. He spent the weekend debating whether he should stay or go, talking with family, friends and coaches about the NBA. It wasn't until Monday morning, just hours before his self-imposed deadline, that Beasley made his final decision. "I kind of made my mind up, then went back to being undecided. made my mind up, then went back to being undecided," said Beasley, who signed with agent Joe Bell. "Today was when my decision stuck." Beasley leaned heavily on his mother, Fatima Smith, and Martin in making his decision. Smith has been Beasley's main supporter, helping him as he bounced from once high school to another after his pranks wore thin, moving her family to tiny Manhattan once he decided to attend Kansas State. She was there again when the time came for 'Lil Mike, as she calls him, to make a decision about the NBA. "The best thing I could have done was let him breathe, come to some decisions on his own, let him come to me with some questions," Smith said. "And once he came to me with some questions, I kind of guided him and turned the questions around: 'what would you do or how do you think this would happen?' It was still a battle up until last night, until this morning." DON'S AUTO: [Keeping Kansas students off the streets since 1972] Don's Auto Center Litch & Haskell 841-4833 Beasley said at the start of the season that he wanted to play at Kansas State for four years, that he had made a commitment and wanted to earn a degree. He started hinting early in the season that he might not stick around and ultimately decided the money was just too much to pass up. emirates 17 ASSOCIATED PRESS Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, left, vies for the ball with Arsenal's Alexandre Song, during their English Premier League soccer match at Old Trafford stadium in Manchester, England on Sunday.

Then last Monday night they saw Williams wearing a Jayhawk on his heart and cheering Bill Self's Kansas team to an overtime victory against Memphis in the NCAA championship game. "I was surprised to see that," Amyx said. "A lot of people were. It was neat to see him sitting there with that on his chest. People wanted to beat Roy more than they wanted to beat North Carolina, and we did. Now I think next time we play them, we'll just want to beat North Carolina."

An estimated 10,000 people showed up to watch the game. Jon Goerina/KANSAN MLB 24 ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas City Royals' Mark Teahen catches the ball in the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Seattle Mariners in Seattle on Monday. Greinke tosses complete game in Royals' 5-1 win over Mariners BY TIM BOOTH ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE Zack Greinke pitched a five-hitter for his third career complete game, and the Kansas City Royals opened a sevengame road trip with a 5-1 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. Billy Butler and Miguel Olivo each hit their first homer of the season for Kansas City. Greinke (3-0) joined teammate Brian Bannister with his third win, though his ERA climbed from 0.60 to 0.75. The right-hander was efficient, striking out four and inducing three double plays while facing only three batters more than the minimum. Greinke threw 107 pitches and walked one, working at least eight innings for the second consecutive start. He shut down the New York Yankees in his previous outing. Just one Seattle baserunner advanced past first base against Greinke, who retired 18 of his final 20 batters. He got some defensive help, as Mark Teahen made a leaping catch against the left-field wall Greinke got all the runs he needed in the second inning, thanks to a pair of longballs from an offense that entered the night with just five homers, the fewest in the AL. on Yuniesky Betancourt's drive to end the eighth. It was the sixth complete game in the American League this year and second by a Kansas City pitcher. Butler homered into the Kansas City bullpen leading off the second to extend his career-best hitting streak to 13 games. Former Mariner Jose Guillen followed with a double to deep right-center and two batters later Olivo, another former Seattle player, homered to left-center on a 2-2 pitch. The Royals added another run in the seventh as Seattle's bullpen continued to struggle. Sean Green took over for starter Jarrod Washburn starting the seventh and allowed two singles and a walk to load the bases. Ryan Rowland-Smith took over and gave up a sacrifice fly to David DeJesus, but escaped the inning without further damage. It was Olivio's first homer since Sept. 12 with Florida. Kansas City scored again in the eighth off Roy Corcoran. Second baseman Jose Lopez dropped the transfer of a potential inning-ending double play, and Olivo and John Buck had consecutive singles to plate another run. Washburn's only problems came in the second, when the Royals forced the left-hander to throw 30 pitches. Washburn (1-2) allowed three runs and six hits, striking out six. Seattle's only run came in the third when Ichiro Suzuki barely beat out a double-play attempt, allowing Brad Wilkerson to score from third. notebook Spring game Junior college transfer Jocque Crawford, a running back who will arrive on campus in June and join the team for preseason workouts, made an appearance at the Spring scrimmage. Crawford, a 6-foot-1, 230 pound junior from Cisco Junior College, said he was enjoying his time in Lawrence – except for the cold weather. He said he thought he could compete for the starting running back job in 2008. Kerry Meier continued to serve as a jack-of-all-trades, punting four times, rushing four times, grabbing four receptions and attempting 18 passes. In all, Meier tallied 69 passing yards, gained 45 yards on rushes and receptions and led the Jayhawks by averaging 41 yards per punt. "I think we have a nice squad," Crawford said. "Everybody is capable of making plays, and in the running game they do a good job." Todd Reesing may have donned a red jersey to ensure no defenders tackled him, but he didn't stay away from contact. The junior quarterback made two solo tackles, each coming after he threw an interception. Reesing chased down senior safety Patrick Resby for his first tackle and sophomore linebacker Drew Dudley late in the second quarter. "After two of em, we told (Reesing), 'Number one, don't throw any more interceptions, and let them run for a touchdown if you're the only guy who can tackle them. It's not that important," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. Kansas made some late additions to its roster in the days leading up to the Spring game. Several offensive linemen were not included on the roster, including number 76 and number 55, who both played on the white team along with the second and third squads. A few notable Jayhawks missed Monday's scrimmage because of injuries. Senior defensive end John Larson sat out with an illness, but Mangino said Larson would recover soon. Junior safety Justin Thornton, senior center Ryan Cantrell and senior linebacker Joe Mortenius nissed the game because of leg injuries. The three projected starters are slated to return before the start of the season. In their places, sophomore linebacker Justin Springer, sophomore safety Phillip Strozier, sophomore center Sal Capra, and junior defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule received increased playing time Around 7,500 fans turned out for the Spring game, an impressive total considering many Jayhawk fans have spent much of the last week celebrating the Kansas basketball team's national title. "If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably the best crowd we've had at the Spring game since I've been here," Mangino said. —Asher Fusco Blue Team 17, White Team 3 USE KU CUISINE CASH Before it expires in May! $2.00 off your next order when using KU Cuisine Cash Call Us! 841-8002 Visit Us! kudominos.com Player Catches Yards TD Long Dezmon Briscoe 8 92 0 29 Dexton Fields 5 46 1 18 Kerry Meier 4 40 0 22 Jonathon Wilson 2 11 0 6 Ralmond Pendleton 1 6 0 6 KUSHING Player Carries Yards TD Avg.

Most fans remember the first big league or college baseball game they attended and can remember the field and how manicured it was. Baseball fields don't naturally look like that and this also holds true for Hoglund Ballpark. Five University of Kansas students devote endless hours to make sure Hoglund Ballpark looks the way it does. The LeBron James of the group, head groundskeeper Andy Beggs, Wichita senior, runs the staff. Just as LeBron James is nicknamed King James, the grounds crew members have a name for their leader: Peanuts. Beggs gained his experience by working with the Wichita Wranglers for four years during high school. This year will be one of the biggest for Hoglund Ballpark and the crew who work on the field. "We are entering the STMA (Sports Turf Managers Association) sports turf field of the year this year," Beggs said. "Nebraska won the whole thing last year and it gives these guys an extra little bit of motivation while they're out here." The formula for winning a championship is the same in grounds keeping as it is in anything else: it takes a team. This year the crew has more members than in the past, and Beggs said it was the best crew in his tenure at the University. "These guys do a lot of work out here," Beggs said. "They do absolutely everything for me and are the best grounds crew 1 could have." After putting in almost 30 hours a week during the summer and baseball season, the new guys lose the rookie status fast. One of those members is Mark Thompson, Wichita freshman. This is Thompson's first year on the staff and he entered college without any previous experience in the field. "It wasn't that hard," Thompson said. "They showed me how to do pretty much everything. There are some things that are a lot harder to do than others, but they have made it pretty easy." C Mark Thompson, Wichita freshman and groundskeeper for Hoglund Ballpark, rebuilds the pitcher's mound Monday. Thompson and four other students each work up to 30 hours a week during the summer and baseball season. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN The cohesiveness is evident when watching the crew do its job. Even if there isn't a game that day the crew still works hard. Moving and Summer Heat Don't Mix They start by taking tarps off the mounds, plates and bullpens. Once that is complete, the crew will go around and fix clay areas on the base paths, while Beggs nail drags the field. With that done, the sprinklers then water the infield as the crew cleans the dugouts. Once the dugouts are complete, the crew heads to work on the bullpen mounds and takes care of the hitting cages. While the bullpens are being taken care of, other members are working on cutting the outfield and infield grass. This is all in an off day, when the players won't even step foot on the field. "We are just always looking for ways to make the field better," Alex Sandmoen, Overland Park freshman, said. The crew doesn't waste time, and completes their tasks like clockwork. The constant attention they give the field takes numerous hours and a lot of hard work. said. "You get really attached to the field. I am out here almost five hours a day and it becomes your baby almost. You just want to make it perfect." Although the crew will never get the chance to play in a game, they are the biggest Kansas baseball fans there. "I really do love it," Sandmoen ners together and it has made me a bigger fan." "You are way more connected to it," Sandmioen said. "You're almost part of the team, we have team din- Making the team better by creating a perfect playing surface, the members of the grounds crew are truly members of the team. And part of another team, who much like the baseball team, is in search of a title. - Edited by Patrick De Oliveira $50 Reserves your move or storage unit.

The Denver Nuggets forward was arrested on Interstate 25, police said. He was alone in the car and pulled over for weaving and not dimming his lights. Mark Warkentien, the Nuggets vice President of basketball operations, said the team was aware of the situation but declined comment. The Nuggets did not practice Monday and Anthony wasn't available. He's expected at practice Tuesday. Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests. He was charged with DUI, then taken to police headquarters before being released to a "sober responsible party," Hahn said. Anthony is due in court May 14. Anthony's attorney, Dan Recht said his client consented to a blood test, but results won't be available for about two weeks. "Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them,'Recht said. The Nuggets (49-32) moved a half game ahead of Golden State for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference on Sunday night when they beat Houston 111-94. Denver can clinch a fifth straight postseason berth by beating Memphis at home Wednesday night or if the Warriors lose at Phoenix on Monday night.

After returning from Spain, Gottschall worked as a musician in Austin, Texas, for 25 years before moving to Kansas. University employee discovers his album, recorded 35 years ago will be re-released BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com Mark Gottschall had been searching the Internet for years for the album "Beautiful People," which he helped make in 1972 in Spain. But each time, Gottschall received no relevant results. In October 2007, Gottschall, supervisor of the journalism resource center, realized he should have been searching for the album's title in Spanish: "Maravillosa Gente." Searching for the translation of the name made all the difference. Gottschall found a link that said the album was to be re-released on CD, and that the production company, Guerssen Records, was looking for him. "It was just fate that made me Google it that day. If I had not, I would never have known about the re-issue. Talk about luck." Gottschall said. Guerssen Records couldn't find Bill Quick, who was the main artist on the album, so they needed Gottschall to write the liner notes for the CD. After 35 years, Gottschall's dream of being on a major record was finally coming true. "I felt sort of vindicated that people would finally get to hear what I could do," Gottschall said. "Beautiful People", the album Gottschall contributed to 35 years ago, wil be re-released. The record company wasn't able to contact the main artist on the album, Bill Quick, so Gottschall got to write the liner notes in the CD. In 1971, Gottschall dropped out of college and decided to travel across Europe. Being a guitar player, he knew he would need to learn to play a more unusual instrument to stand out. So he bought a banjo, a banjo beginner's book and traveled to Spain. One day, when Gottschall was playing his banjo in a park, a man joined him with a guitar. The man said he would introduce Gottschall to Bill Quick, who was making an TEMPS 1. Énergie et équilibre 2. Cendres 3. Défis de résistance 4. Traitement des enzymes 5.

"From the time I walked into that studio I knew there was magic there," Gottschall said. "There was magic in Bill's songs. It was just a magical, magical time." The record was being recorded at Explosion studio, in Madrid, Spain. Gottschall said Explosion was the biggest recording studio he had ever seen, and would later find out it was one of the best recording studios in Europe at that time. Gottschall said halfway through the first song one of the producers told him the harmony he was playing was not what they were looking for and asked him to play a different one. At that time Gottschall still knew only one song from the banjo book. album, under one condition - Gottschall had to promise he would not ask Quick if he could be on his album. The man said every artist he knew, including himself, had asked Quick to be on the album and Quick was tired of being asked. "As soon as we knocked on the door, Bill said in English, 'Is that a banjo?' I said, 'Yes. He said, 'Far out man. Do you wanna be on my album?' which I thought was pretty funny because the other guy told me not to ask if I could be on his album," Gottschall said. "I went from thinking I'm going to be on this cool recording, to thinking I'm gonna get fired because this is all I "I felt sort of vindicated that people would finally get to hear what I could do." know," Gottschall said. MARK GOTTSCHALL Journalism Resource Center supervisor Gottschall then excused himself from the room. As he was strumming on his banjo, contemplating his predicament, the producer walked by.

On Sundays they would go to the flea market in Gottschall said that his and Quick's voices blended together so well that Quick asked him to sing harmony on the CD with him, play the acoustic gui- Madrid and sell the belts Quick made. Afterward, they would return to Quick's apartment to sing and play music together. said the producer thought he and Quick sounded like Simon and Garfunkel, so many of the tracks on the album morphed into psychedelic folk songs. Gottschall said he and Quick were even interviewed on one of Madrid's most famous FM stations, where Gottschall said when he began working on the album It was similar to Santana's pop music. However, Gottschall Gottschall was also asked to write lyrics to a track Quick had written about the flea market. Quick wanted to call it "Beautiful People." Gottschall said originally the title song was supposed to be "Take me Away," but that "Beautiful People" replaced it. tar on several tracks and add a track of his own to the CD. Gottschall's track is called "You're not listening." they performed two songs live. "I turned down the deal and I've been kicking myself every since," Gottschall said. Because Quick's name was on the album deal, Gottschall did not receive credit for writing the songs. However, Alain Milhaud, one of the producers, offered he and Quick a record deal when the album was finished. "It's something I think won't ever go out of style." KELLY CLARK Overland Park senior Gottschall said he turned down the offer because he missed his girlfriend, Jayne, who was still living in Austin. He said at the time he thought that if he was a good enough musician to receive a record deal in Europe, that he could get one in the U.S. as well. Gottschall has tried to contact Milhaud several times since then, with no success. He said Milhaud was one of the most prominent European producers at the time. Gotschall has not heard from Quick either since 1997. Gottschall said he was the last known person to have heard from Quick. Kelly Clark, an Overland Park senior who works in the resource center, said when she found out about Gottschall's newly acquired fame, she told him he should "It's something I think won't ever go out of style," Clark said. go on tour. Clark said that after listening to the CD she was surprised at how current the music sounded. Though Gottschall's music career never skyrocketed like he had hoped, his personal life turned out well. Gottschall eventually married Jayne, though they later divorced. Jayne said Gottsall's story did not surprise her because he had always lived a colorful life. She said she was happy he returned because she knew enough about the music business to know that nothing is certain, no matter how good Milhaud may have made the deal sound. Jayne said that Quick visited her and Mark in Austin several times, and that he was very nice and always brought her gifts. One time Quick brought her a beautiful shawl from Spain, and another time he brought her earrings he had made himself. Jayne said she was very interested to see if the re-release would draw Quick out of hiding. "He was offbeat enough that I'm not surprised that nobody really knows where he is now," she said. "I hope he's okay, because we're all getting older." Gottschall' played as a professional musician in Austin for 25 years before moving to Lawrence. Occasionally Gottschall performs downtown. He has also made a CD of his own. Gotschall's three children, Gino, Mike and Mandi are all musically inclined as well. Gino owns a music store in Austin and Mike has a music MySpace page. Mandi, who plays the guitar, said she hoped to make a CD with her father in the future.

ODD NEWS Performing CPR pays for Navy medics towing bill JACKSON, Mich. — A Navy medic is being reimbursed for a $60 towing bill he received while he was helping perform CPR on a heart attack victim.

In the meantime, Moore's truck parked partly over the white line marking the side of the road was deemed a travel hazard and towed. Moore, now stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C., said people have been sending checks to his parents after word spread about the towing bill, but he plans to donate that money to veterans' charities.

Computer programmer proposes with video game JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Hiding a ring in a bouquet just wasn't enough when a computer programmer decided to pop the question. Bernie Peng reprogrammed Tammy Li's favorite video game, "Bejeweled," so a ring and a marriage proposal would show up on the screen when she reached a certain score. Li reached the needed score and said ves. The word of the romantic feat last December filtered out after Peng, a financial software programmer, posted details on his blog. The reprogramming was a tricky task and took him a month. "I thought it was pretty cool, in a nerdy way," Peng told The Star-Ledger of Newark. The couple plan to marry over Labor Day weekend, and PopCap, the Seattle company that makes "Bejeweled," will fly the couple to Seattle as part of their honeymoon.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA a --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 2008 NEWS 3A CAMPUS Relay helps cancer research BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommervillekansan.com The American Cancer Society is sponsoring the annual Relay for Life to help raise awareness and money for cancer research. The society will recruit teams until the event starts on May 2. Stacie Schroeder, community manager-development for the American Cancer Society, said the teams were trying to raise more money to meet the $80,000 goal. According to the Relay's Web site, there are 291 participants and 36 teams at the University of Kansas so far. The Web site also said that the teams had raised about $7,984. Schroeder said that they were working on getting survivors to speak at the event. Laura Kelly, a Stage 3 non-Hodgkins T-cell Lymphoma survivor, will be the speaker at the opening ceremony on May 2. She was diagnosed with cancer when she was 14, but will be cancer-free for four years this August. "It's a cause that's close to my heart." Kelly said. Kelly, a Lenexa sophomore, first got involved with the American Cancer Society and the Relay for Life when she was going through chemotherapy her sophomore year of high school. She participated in the Relay her sophomore year, not really knowing what to expect. The event ended up being life-changing. "It was one of the most moving experiences ever," Kelly said. After that, she was the survivor chairwoman for the Relay her junior year, and co-chairwoman of the whole event at her high school her senior year. "I thought this would a fun opportunity," Kelly said. Last year, she helped recruit people to participate, but was not able to serve on the committee this year because of school and work conflicts. Kelly still wanted to participate, though. Cancer survivors and other people who want to help can participate in the Relay by signing up at http://events.cancer.org/rflikuks. The Relay will begin at 6 p.m. on May 2 at Memorial Stadium. Edited by Patrick De Oliveira WORLD Falling dollar value, global oil supply contribute to raised price of crude oil VIENNA, Austria — Oil prices rose to new heights Tuesday, surging to almost $114 a barrel after the U.S. dollar fell and worries mounted about the global oil supply. A report from the International Energy Agency said Russian oil production dropped this year for the first time in a decade. Crude oil shipments along one U.S.pipeline were said to be moving below capacity. And Italy's ENI reported a 5,000 barrel per day reduction in production at one of its facilities in Nigeria. Light, sweet crude for May delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose as high as $113.66 a barrel by afternoon in Europe before backing off. That was $1.45 above the previous record set last week. The contract closed at a record settlement price of $111.76 a barrel on Monday. The recent run above $100 a barrel has been largely attributed to a steadily depreciating U.S. currency because a weakening dollar prompts investors to seek a safe haven in hard commodities such as oil and gold. "We've seen another swing down in the U.S. dollar so I think we saw short term traders go back into oil as a hedge against the falling dollar," said Mark Pervan, senior commodity strategist at the ANZ Bank in Melbourne, Australia. Stephen Schork, in his Schork Report, described the rush into oil on the falling dollar as an automatic reflex. "Traders on the Nymex saw the dollar take another tumble, so they did what they have been conditioned to do when the dollar falls, i.e. they bought crude oil," he wrote. Monday's news from the U.S. banking company Wachovia Corp. supported oil prices by making the U.S.dollar less attractive, said Victor Shum, an energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore. Wachovia, the fourth largest bank in the U.S., reported a hefty first-quarter loss and cut its dividend, and said it was forced to seek a $7 billion cash injection to make up for a poorly timed expansion of its mortgage business. » WORLD Bill combats ultra-thin image ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — In image-conscious France, it may soon be a crime to glamorize the ultra-thin. A new French bill cracks down on Web sites that advise anorexics on how to starve — and could be used to hit fashion industry heavyweights, too. ASSOCIATED PRESS The groundbreaking bill, adopted Tuesday by Parliament's lower house, recommends fines of up to $71,000 and three-year prison sentences for offenders who encourage "extreme thinness." It goes to the Senate in the coming weeks. Critics said the bill is too vague about whom it is targeting and doesn't even clearly define "extreme thinness." If passed, the law would be the strongest of its kind anywhere, fashion industry experts said. It is the latest measure proposed after the 2006 anorexia-linked death of Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston prompted efforts throughout the fashion industry to address the health repercussions of ultra-thin models. Doctors and psychologists treating patients with anorexia nervosa - a disorder characterized by an extreme fear of becoming overweight - welcomed the French effort, but said anorexia's link with media images remains hazy. Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston participates in a fashion show in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in April 2005. The French parliament's lower house adopted a groundbreaking bill Tuesday that would make it illegal for anyone — including fashion magazines, advertisers and Web sites — to publicly incite extreme thinness. Reston, a 21-year-old anorexic model who weighed only 88 pounds, died Nov. 14, 2006, of generalized infection. The bill's author, conservative French lawmaker Valery Boyer, said she wanted to encourage discussion about women's health and body image. Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot said Web sites that encourage young girls to starve should not be protected by freedom of expression. For the bill's backers, the message behind the measure is important enough. So-called "pro-ana" — for proanorexia — sites and blogs have flourished in the United States and beyond, often hosted by adolescents sharing stories of how they deprive their bodies of nourishment. French lawmakers and fashion industry members signed a nonbinding charter last week on promoting healthier body images. In 2007, Spain banned from catwalks models whose body mass-to-height ratio is below 18. Bill author Boyer said such measures did not go far enough. Her bill has focused attention on pro-anorexia Web sites that give advice on how to eat an apple a day — and nothing else.

The Pope addressed the clergy abuse scandal on the flight from Rome to the U.S. Pope makes first trip to U.S. ASSOCIATED PRESS ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. — Pope Benedict XVI arrived Tuesday in the United States to a presidential handshake and enthusiastic cheering, a warm welcome that followed the pontiff's candid admission hours earlier that he is "deeply ashamed" of the clergy sex abuse scandal that has rocked the American church. On his first papal trip to the U.S., Benedict gave hundreds of spectators a two-handed wave as he stepped off a special Alitalia airliner that brought him from Rome. Students from a local Catholic school screamed ecstatically when the saw the pontiff, who shook hands with President Bush, first lady Laura Bush and their daughter, Jenna on the tarmac. The pope and the president left in a motorcade a few minutes later. On the flight to the United States from Rome, Benedict addressed the most painful issue for the Roman Catholic Church in America — clergy sex abuse. The U.S. church has paid out $2 billion in abuse costs since 1950, most of that in just the last six years. NO, THIS ISN'T A TAKE HOME INTERVIEW! NO, THIS ISN'T A TAKE HOME INTERVIEW!

START BUILDING cbCAMPUS.com careerbuilder.com "It is a great suffering for the church in the United States and for the church in general and for me personally that this could happen," Benedict said. "It is difficult for me to understand how it was possible that priests betray in this way their mission ... to these children." "I am deeply ashamed, and we will do what is possible so this cannot happen again in the future," the pope said on the flight from Rome to Washington, speaking in English as he responded to questions submitted by reporters ahead of time. Benedict pledged that pedophiles would not be priests in the Catholic Church. the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. "It's harder but crucial to focus on the broader problem — complicity in the rest of the church hierarchy." "We will absolutely exclude pedophiles from the sacred ministry," Benedict said. "It is more important to have good priests than many priests. We will do everything possible to heal this wound." "I am deeply ashamed, and we will do what is possible so this cannot happen again in the future." Benedict's pilgrimage is the first trip by a pontiff to the United States since the case of a serial molester in Boston triggered a crisis that spread throughout the United States and beyond in 2002. Hundreds of new accusations — many dating back decades — have surfaced each year since. There were 691 new accusations in 2007 alone, according to an annual report from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The pope's promise failed to mollify advocates for abuse victims, however. They said the problem is not just molester priests, but bishops and other church authorities who have let errant clergymen continue to serve even after repeated allegations. As head of the Vatican agency that enforces adherence to Catholic doctrine, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was heavily involved in gaining Vatican approval for the reforms U.S. bishops proposed for the American church. The bishops have since released several reports analyzing the scandal and have pledged that all credibly accused priests will be pulled from public ministry. "It's easy and tempting to continually focus on the pedophile priests themselves," said Peter Isely, a board member of Pedophilia is "absolutely incompatible" with the priesthood," Benedict said. Benedict described his pilgrimage as a journey to meet a "great people and a great church." He spoke about the American model of religious values within a system of separation of church and state. President Bush made the unusual gesture of greeting Benedict at Andrews Air Force Base — the first time he has welcomed a foreign leader there. The pope said he will discuss immigration with Bush, including the difficulties of families who are separated by immigration. POPE BENEDICT XVI While the pope and Bush differ on such major issues on the Iraq war, capital punishment and the U.S. embargo against Cuba, they do find common ground in opposing abortion, gay marriage and embryonic stem cell research. White House press secretary Dana Perino, asked about the pope's comments regarding the clergy sex abuse scandal, said she wouldn't rule out that the topic would come up in conversation between the pope and the president. But she added that "I don't think it's necessarily on the president's top priorities" for his agenda in talking with the pope. Perino said the two leaders would likely discuss human rights, religious tolerance and the fight against violent extremism. As for the war in Iraq, Perino said, "Obviously, there were differences years back." She downplayed those, emphasizing instead a strong bond between Bush and the pope. Benedict "will hear from the president that America and the world need to hear his message, that God is love, that human life is sacred, that we all must be guided by common moral law, and that we have responsibilities to care for our brothers and sisters in need, at home and across the world," Perino said.

Palfrey caused a sensation last year when she announced that to raise money for her defense, she Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 52, sighed as the verdict was read. She had repeatedly denied the escort service engaged in, prostitution, saying that if any of the women engaged in sex acts for money, they did so without her knowledge. She (Palfrey) was convicted on all counts she faced; Money launder ing, using the mail for illegal purposes, and racketeering. intended to sell her phone records to any news outlet willing to pay. Palfreya said her defunct business, Pamela Martin & Associates, was "a legal, high-end erotic fantasy service" that serviced elite clients. She was convicted on all counts she faced: Money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes and racketeering. Three of Palfrey's clients testified during the weeklong trial in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, explaining how they found the service, how often they called, what they were hoping for and whether they got it during their visits. But the trial concluded without revealing many new details about the service or its clients. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., was among possible witnesses, but did not take the stand. "When a man agrees to pay $250 for 90 minutes with a woman, what do most men expect in that time?" prosecutor Daniel Butler said during closing arguments Monday. "In that context, it's pretty clear. Most men want sex." Vitter has acknowledged being involved with Palfrey's escort service. But after issuing brief statements apologizing for "a very serious sin," he has avoided follow-up questions. Harlan Ullman, a military strategist who created the concept of "shock and awe" that the United to open hostilities against a Iraq, also did not testify. Palfrey says Ullman was a regular client; Ullman has declined to discuss what he has called "outrageous allegations." "When a man agrees to pay $250 for 90 minutes with a woman, what do most men expect in that time?" DANIEL BUTLER Federal prosecutor Randall L. Tobias, who resigned as a deputy secretary of state after acknowledging to ABC News that he used Palrefry's service for massages, also did not testify. Defense attorney Preston Burton argued that what went on during appointments was between the client and the escort. He compared Palfrey to a taxi dispatcher, who shouldn't be penalized for "the route the cab driver took." Palfrey, who faces a maximum of 55 years in prison, will remain free pending her sentencing on July 24. --- THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16. 2008 NEWS 5A IRAQ محمد بن محمد السلطان ASSOCIATED PRESS Women injured in a car bomb attack are brought to a hospital in Bagouba, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad, Tuesday.

The attacks were a deadly reminder of the threat posed by suspected Sunni insurgents even as clashes between Shiite militia fighters and U.S.-Iraqi forces continued elsewhere. The U.S. military condemned the bombings and said they appeared to have been carried out by al-Qaida in Iraq. One survivor described a huge fire that sent black smoke billowing into the sky and left charred bodies inside their cars. The first blast occurred in Bagouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, when a car parked in front of a restaurant exploded just before noon across the street from the central courthouse and other government offices. "I was on my way to the government office when a big explosion occurred nearby," said the witness, who would only identify himself by his nickname Abu Ali. "As I approached the site, I saw cars on fire, burned bodies and damaged shops damaged with shattered glass everywhere." At least 40 people were killed and 70 wounded in the blast, according to hospital officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.

Elsewhere in northern Iraq, a double car bombing in Mosul wounded three Iraqi policemen and 15 civilians, the U.S. military said. Mosul is considered one of the last urban strongholds for al-Qaida in Iraq and the American and Iraqi militaries have promised a security crackdown. The U.S. military in northern Iraq gave a slightly lower toll, saying 35 Iraqi citizens were killed, including a policeman, and 66 wounded in the attack. A parked car bomb also targeted a police patrol in central Baghdad, killing four civilians who were passing by and wounding 15 other people, police said. It was the deadliest bombing in Iraq since March 6 when a twin bombing killed 68 people in a crowded shopping district in the central Baghdad district of Karradad. A suicide attacker on a motorcycle later drove up to a kebab restaurant in Ramadi and detonated his explosives vest around 12:30 p.m., killing at least 13 people including three policemen and wounding 20 other people, police Capt. Abu Saif al-Anbari said. Hospital officials said two children were among the dead. Police initially thought a parked car had exploded in the industrial area but later determined it was a suicide attack, al-Anbari said. Ahmed al-Dulaimi, a 27-year-old mechanic, was at the restaurant when the blast occurred but escaped injury because he was sitting at a back table. He said his cousin, who owned the restaurant, had been killed. peacecorps.gov "Pieces of flesh flew into the air and the roof fell over us. I saw the horrible sight of bodies without heads or without legs or hands," he said. Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad, is the capital of Anbar province and has largely been sealed off by checkpoints. Like Baqouba, the area has seen a sharp decline in violence in recent months as Sunni tribal leaders have joined forces with the Americans against al-Qaida in Iraq. "Although attacks such as today's event are tragic, it is not indicative of the overall security situation in Baqouba". Maj. Mike Garcia, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Diyala, said in a statement. The U.S. military said overall attacks in Diyala province have dropped more than 76 percent since June 2007. 080794 Learn Your Own Way KU Independent Study STATE Breeding policy poorly worded ASSOCIATED PRESS Over 150 KU classes are available through distance learning. Enroll and start any time! WICHITA — A city ordinance requiring dog breeders to buy an annual license was so ambiguously written that it could be interpreted to apply to all owners whose dogs have puppies. "If you got a dog with a litter of puppies in Wichita, you've just broken the law," said Hank Price, a Wichita Kennel Club board member. The city policy said breeders must buy an $50 annual license to breed dogs, but it doesn't define what a breeder is, allowing for the broad interpretation. Those who violate the law, which went into effect in December, face a $100 fine. 785-864-5823 City officials say the rule needs tweaking and could be sent back to the City Council for review in the next few months. www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu Dennis Graves, the city's animal services supervisor, said tickets for not having the license have been written only when people were caught selling dogs in parking lots — the intended target of the measure.

Sunflower Electric Power Corp.wants to build them in Finney County. Know Your Power, a group opposed to Sunflower's project, spent nearly $406,000 on advertising last year.

She's expected to veto it, just as she rejected a bill last month. Kansas State student dies from balcony fall MANHATTAN, Kan.

The 70-year-old has recorded a hip-hop album set for release next month. "Cosby Narratives Vol.1: State of Emergency" blends the comedian's concepts and stories with a hip-hop, pop and jazz soundtrack. "I do not rap on any of these things," Cosby told The Associated Press on Monday. "I wouldn't know how to fix my mouth to say some of the words." ASSOCIATED PRESS Cosby said the hip-hop music he hears is profane and degrading. His album is "the opposite of what I think is the profanity for no particular reason, the misogyny for no particular reason," he said. "It really looks at the frustration and the anger that a young man may have." Comedian Bill Cosby recorded a hip-hop CD set for release next month. "Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency" blends the comedian's concepts and stories with a hip-hop, pop and jazz soundtrack. The album, assembled by Cosby's longtime musical collaborator Bill "Spaceman" Patterson, contains rhymes provided by guest rappers. The subject matter? "The value of an education. The value of respecting one's self and ... giving (listeners) a chance to raise their self-esteem and confidence," Cosby said. Patterson said he was surprised when Cosby first inquired about making a rap record — until the comedian revealed he wouldn't be the one doing the rapping. "People started speculating, is he going to rap about Jell-O Pudding Pops or what?" Patterson said. "But he's always been involved in music and he was there for the first generation of spoken word."

It's the realization that it doesn't get people to focus on the problem;it gets people to focus on the way I'm protesting the problem. This is my basic parallel to anti-abortion signs that display giant aborted fetuses. I'm not here to discuss whether or not abortion is wrong—if you want to read an article about that please look at college newspapers from the past 20 years. I'm here to discuss giant aborted fetuses on protest signs. I should point out that fetuses aren't that large in real life. Fetuses aren't 20 feet tall. I know you're thinking I'm a liar. I know, I'm no scientist, but I think I'm right. These signs make me uncomfortable. But I'm not going to argue with those who would reply, "Well, since their appearance on a sign makes you uncomfortable maybe that means you have a problem with abortion." I'm going to stick with what I came to this page to discuss: no double standards, no giant aborted fetuses on signs, no more distractions from real issues, no debate about it. I shouldn't have had to sit at my desk thinking of a polite way to say "to have sex with a duck." Instead of discussing abortion, we find ourselves discussing the means to protesting abortion. These aren't conversations we should be having. This column shouldn't have ever needed to be written. I needn't go to the extreme of getting a sign of a woman pleasuring a goat to prove my point. These signs do not add anything to the debate; they only distract us from the real issue. Instead of discussing the obvious moral problems and the overall ramifications of abortion, we discuss the use of giant dead fetuses on signs. The use of signs that incorporate aborted fetuses must stop in order for our society to discuss abortion appropriately—until then nothing of importance will be said and no debate will be worthwhile. If I were to protest gun violence with signs of dead men shot to pieces, there would be an uproar. If I were to protest homosexuality with signs of men sodomizing one another, there would be an uproar. There's a double standard here, and it should no longer be allowed. Stewart is a Wichita junior in journalism. editorials around the world In India Olympics and politics separation impossible ASSOCIATED PRESS The Olympic torch relay is not meant to be a political weapon for the host country of the Olympics or its critics. However, separating sports from politics, in line with Olympic ideals, is seldom successful and on the part of the Beijing games it has utterly failed. The nationalistic riots in Tibet and China's clumsy way of relating the events have inflamed the situation to such an extent that protest against the torch's trip are certain to continue as it travels through 20 countries to China. The International Olympic Committee has good reason to meet this week to evaluate the desirability of continuing the torch relay. But it won't be solved by simply directing it only to those countries where demonstrations would not be allowed.

THE EDITORIAL BOARD HEY, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT NEW BILL-- WHOA, IS THAT A CHOCOLATE SUPERBOWL TROPHY? WHERE'D THAT COME FROM? THE ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT SENT IT OVER. LOOKS LIKE MR. CHOCOLATE TROPHY WILL BE DOING MY VOTING FROM NOW ON. Better to receive? Not for Senate In the face of powerful lobbying from special interest groups, the Student Senate has lost some of its autonomy. Senate needs to adopt rules that will increase transparency and limit the amount and type of gifts it can receive. Last week's election offered students the opportunity to yield their most powerful check over the governing body that represents them — a vote. Not surprisingly, turnout was low. Only 4,207 students voted for president and vice president. The first step in reviving interest from students is making sure the issues they care about most passionately are the ones their representatives are focused on. Although ethics reform isn't a hot-button issue, it is the first step in re-centering Student Senate around the students. All gifts senators receive need to be publicly documented, allowing constituents to evaluate their senator's interests. The senate could look to the United States Congress for guidance on what gifts are acceptable. Under congressional rules, all gifts must be unsolicited, cannot be valued at more than $50 and congressmen cannot receive more than $100 in gifts per calendar year. Whether Student Senate adopts the congressional guidelines or simply publishes a document of all gifts received, transparency needs to OUR VIEW increase to ensure that students are being represented and not special interests. Starting in Fall 2007, executive leadership in the senate received scholarships from the University administration. Kansas Athletics Inc. has, at the same time, continued to offer senators free tickets to games, with out-of-state trips and access to the chancellor's box at Memorial Stadium for some executive leaders. Shawnee, deals directly with these issues. Cox sits on the Chancellor's Advisory Board on Athletics where he meets with Lew Perkins, Athletics Department representatives and the chancellor twice a semester to discuss Student Senate and its relationship with the Athletics Department. In the past, Cox said he was able to obtain tickets to a football and basketball game through this relationship and that he was "afraid to lose such awesome perks." Thomas Cox, senior student senator from Cox went on to say "it hit me that I was completely failing to serve the student body like I was elected to do, because I put something else before the students." According to Cox, none of this is against any current Student Senate rules, as the senate does not have any rules governing gifts. Cox said these perks and the fear of losing them led him to not think or act independently in regard to the Athletics Department. Cox is currently preparing to present legislation that would ban any gift from the Athletics Department to senators. Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, indicated this situation was "definitely in a gray area." Although Loomis voiced concerns, he also pointed to benefits that gifts can have. For instance, "it's not illogical that the student body president or student body vice president come to these [events]. That's what you do in politics," he said in regards to executive leadership having access to the Chancellor's Box at Memorial Stadium. Loomis pointed out that having student representatives speak to leaders, such as the governor or chancellor at a game, can move the often slow wheels of bureaucracy forward and perhaps bring benefits to students. Although moving the slow wheels along is important, ethics should not be sacrificed for expediency. A senate that runs on this principle is best-suited to lead itself back to a representation of the students and not special interests. Alex Doherty for the Editorial Board. Clinton's plan would save money, lower prison population >> LETTER TO THE EDITOR It's good to see that Hillary Clinton is thinking about America's crime problem. More than one in 100 American adults, more than 2.3 million people, are in prison. For young adults, the problem is much more severe: One in every 53 people between 20 and 24 years old is in jail. The high number of people our age who are in prison should make this issue important to us as we consider who we would like for our next president. Clinton hopes to lower the number of repeat offenders by a two-fold strategy. First, her plan would offer extra help to people who wanted to come clean and lead responsible lives. Second, it would make penalties for those who violate their probation more certain, giving ex-convicts an extra reason not to break the law again. Her plan would also afford communities more police officers and help to hire "community-oriented prosecutors." Clinton's plan isn't cheap. If implemented, it would cost about $4 billion, which would come from eliminating "unnecessary and outdated corporate subsidies." But keeping so many people in jail isn't cheep, either. The states spend almost $1 billion each, more than $49 billion total, on prisons and other forms of corrections every year. In context, Clinton's plan seems like a guarantee money saver. However, the real benefit of Clinton's plan isn't the money it would save. Clinton's plan would make America a better, safer place to live and would offer help to young people who need a second chance. Thomas Whitson is an Olathe freshman in pre-pharmacy.

U.S Diplomats may be forced to work in Iraq ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The State Department is warning U.S. diplomats they may be forced to serve in Iraq next year and says it will soon start identifying prime candidates for jobs at the Baghdad embassy and outlying provinces, according to a cable obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press. A similar call-up notice last year caused an uproar among foreign service officers, some of whom objected to compulsory work in a war zone, although in the end the State Department found enough volunteers to fill the jobs. Now, the State Department anticipates another staffing crisis. "We face a growing challenge of supply and demand in the 2009 staffing cycle," the cable said, noting that more than 20 percent of the nearly 12,000 foreign service officers have already worked in the two major hardship posts — Iraq and Afghanistan — and a growing number have done tours in both countries. As a result, the unclassified April 8 cable says, "the prime candidate exercise will be repeated" next year. meaning the State Department will begin identifying U.S. diplomats qualified to serve in Iraq and who could be forced to work there if they don't volunteer. The prime candidate list will be comprised of diplomas who have special abilities that are needed in Iraq, such as Arabic language skills, deep Mideast knowledge or training in specific areas of reconstruction. "We must assign to Iraq those employees whose skills are most needed, and those employees should know that they personally are needed," Foreign Service Director General Harry Thomas said in the cable sent to all diplomatic missions. The cable describes how the department will fill upcoming vacancies at hardship posts like those Iraq and Afghanistan — although it doesn't plan to force any Afghanistan assignments. Diplomats will "bid," or apply, for positions in the war zones that will be advertised in May. After that, the department expects to begin identifying prime candidates for about 300 Iraq jobs that come open next summer, Thomas wrote. The cable said more details will be announced next month, but identification of prime candidates is the first step in implementing so-called "directed assignments." That means ordering diplomats to work in certain locations under threat of dismissal unless they have a compelling reason, such as a health condition, that would prevent them from going. Last year, after prime candidates were identified for 48 Iraq jobs that come open this summer, enough qualified volunteers came forward to avoid what would have been the largest diplomatic call-up since the Vietnam War — but not before the uproar over the prospect of forced tours made national headlines. The State Department is hopping it can fill all of next year's Iraq vacancies with volunteers as it did in 2008. "We hope to accomplish the same in 2009," the cable says. "A willing, qualified volunteer is always preferable to an employee sent involuntarily." The union that represents U.S. diplomas shares that view. "Unless there is some huge upward change in the number of positions, I think it's quite possible to staff the Baghdad embassy with volunteers," said John Naland, president of the American Foreign Service Association. COMMUNICATION Airwaves may be re-auctioned Republicans say measure will help fund nationwide emergency network BY JOHN DUNBAR ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON—Republicans on a congressional panel Tuesday said the Federal Communications Commission should re-auction a block of public airwaves to the highest bidder and turn the proceeds over to public safety professionals to fund a nationwide emergency communications network. The idea was raised as the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on telecommunications and the Internet heard testimony on why a plan aimed at using public airwaves and private money to create a nationwide emergency communications network failed to attract any interest in an otherwise successful spectrum auction. Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Rep. Cliff Stearns, ranking member of the subcommittee, both suggested the solution as an alternative to trying to fix the current plan. "With consensus, Congress could pass a law to use proceeds from the commercial re-auction for the public-private partnership," Barton said. The subcommittee heard from all five members of the Federal Communications Commission as well as key figures in the behind-the-scenes negotiations that failed to lead to an agreement to construct the wireless broadband network. problem and avail emergency personnel of many of the advances in wireless technology that are available to commercial users. The recently completed auction of a portion of the public airwaves, while raising a record $19.1 billion, failed to attract a bidder to build the network. "With consensus, Congress could pass a law to use proceeds from the commercial re-auction for the public-private partnership." Ideally, a new network would help solve the interoperability Disasters like Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, revealed limitations of the nation's emergency communications networks, like the inability of police and firefighters to communicate with one another. The FCC approved the emergency communications plan last JOE BARTON U.S. Representative (R-Texas) summer. Under the plan, the FCC set aside about one-sixth of the recently auctioned airwaves. The "D block" would have been combined with a roughly equal portion of spectrum controller The winning D block bidder, in exchange for use of the public safety spectrum, would build the network and make a profit by selling access to wireless service providers. But the block failed to attract a bidder. by a public safety trust to create a shared network. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell, D-Mich., said he was "presently unmoved" by suggestions that the block should be auctioned for "purely commercial use" and the proceeds handed to public safety. "At this moment, I consider such an approach to be an admission that we are not serious about attaining true interoperability," he said. Estimates on how much a national network would cost have varied widely, but the commission has estimated it would cost between $6 billion and $7 billion. It is uncertain whether the block would generate that much revenue at auction, noted Democratic Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, a Republican, said his agency would need legislative approval to proceed with such a plan. Harlin McEwen, chairman of the Public Safety Spectrum Trust, the nonprofit corporation that oversees the public portion of the spectrum, opposed the idea. "I don't think that's a practical solution," he said. McEwen said it would not provide enough spectrum to emergency responders and would be unlikely to raise enough money to build the network. 》 ECONOMY Tighter regulations planned for hedge fund investments BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Managers of hedge funds would have to improve the operating procedures of the giant pools of capital in such areas as transparency and risk management under new proposals offered Tuesday. Two advisory groups assembled by the Bush administration proposed new "best practices" for the hedge fund industry, but a leading critic attacked the effort as falling far short of the mandatory government regulations that are needed. One set of the recommendations was prepared by hedge fund managers and the other was put together by investors who use the funds. Treasury Secretary Hen rry Paulson said the recommendations would send In early 2007, a presidential working group headed by Paulson rejected the idea that the funds needed increased regulation and said what was needed was improved voluntary standards for both fund managers and investors. In unveiling the recommendations of the advisory groups on Tuesday, Paulson said the administration was not endorsing the status quo but rather pushing for improvements that would keep U.S. financial markets competitive in a global economy. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a key voice on financial matters in the Senate, said that Congress was just beginning to examine "Hedge funds have become too big and too important to remain outside the rules." "Hedge funds have become too big and too important to remain outside the rules," Blumenthal said in a statement. "Instead of voluntary guidelines, the federal government should set specific, common sense rules However, Richard Blumenthal, attorney general of Connecticut, the home for many hedge funds, said the voluntary guidelines were a "virtual farce" that would do little to halt abuses in an industry that has seen explosive growth with assets now close to $2 trillion in an estimated 8,000 funds. RICHARD BLUMENTHAL Connecticut attorney general "a strong message that heightened vigilance is necessary and appropriate and that all stakeholders have an important role to play." and provide for federal and state enforcement." The release of the guidelines comes at a time when a severe credit crisis has roiled financial markets with many large banks what needs to be done in the wake of the severe credit crisis but "in the interim these best practices should strengthen the hedge fund industry and provide investors and regulators with better information." The credit crisis claimed its biggest victim last month with the near-collapse of Bear Stearns, the country's fifth largest investment bank, which was taken over by JP Morgan Chase & Co. in a deal in which the Federal Reserve provided a $30 billion loan. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, that he expected Congress — not this year — but in the future to revamp financial regulations to better keep pace with financial innovations such as the growth in hedge funds. "Instead of voluntary guidelines, the federal government should set specifics, common sense rules and provide for federal and state enforcement." RICHARD BLUMENTHAL Connecticut attorney general and investment houses being forced to declare billions of dollars in losses. Hedge funds have been caught up in the turmoil as investors have grown worried about the solvency of funds that invested heavily in securities backed by subprime mortgages, where delinquencies have hit record levels. Hedge funds, which operate with little government supervision, cater to institutional investors and very wealthy individuals. However, millions of ordinary people have also become unwitting investors in the funds through their pension plans. The set of guidelines for investors was drawn up by an advisory panel headed by Russell Read, the chief investment officer of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), the largest pension fund in the United States. The other set of recommendations for hedge fund operations was draw up by an advisory panel headed by Eric Mindich, the head of Eton Park Capital Management, a large hedge fund. Mindich said in an interview with The AP that the effort was intended to "raise the bar" for the industry. He said the proposals could be modified based on comments received during an upcoming 60-day comment period. Get the most out of your summer in Wichita.

The college canceled classes and evacuated the campus during the day after finding a written threat in the men's washroom. CHICAGO — Two colleges returned to normal class schedules Tuesday after a promised doomsday scrawled in graffiti came and went without incident, but one university remained closed as administrators weighed the seriousness of the threats. St. Xavier University will reopen Wednesday, after administrators told students and non-essential personnel to remain off campus Tuesday. A message in a bathroom reading "Be prepared to die on 4/14" resulted in empty campuses Monday not only at the Catholic liberal arts college on the city's southwest side, but also at four nearby elementary and high schools. Malcolm X evacuated students and canceled daytime classes Monday after a similar threat was found in a campus bathroom, Administrators closed Oakland because of threatening graffiti Unlike officials at St. Xavier, administrators at Malcolm X College, a public school west of downtown, and Michigan's Oakland University decided to resume classes Tuesday. mentioning April 14. "We feel it is safe to return to normal operations Tuesday," Oakland University Chief of Police Sam Lucido said in a statement. The closures just two St. Xavier and Malcolm X are located about 15 miles apart, and although the wordings in the threats were similar, there was no indication they were related, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said. The graffiti at St. Xavier — the second of two threats found since April 5 — was widely publicized over the weekend, and also mentioned in updates the college post- A message in a bathroom reading "Be prepared to die on 4/14 resulted in empty campuses Monday. days before the anniversary of the Virginia Tech killings and exactly two months after the deadly rampage at Northern Illinois University illustrate a major challenge facing school administrators, who have to decide just how seriously to take such threats. ed on its Web site. Wh i l e St. Xavier administrators decided Friday to close its campuses until further notice, classes at Malcolm X resumed late Monday afternoon. Boo* said bomb-sniffing dogs from the Chicago Police Department swept through Malcolm X, but campus police made the final decision about when to reopen. Oakland, a state university in Rochester, Mich., about 20 miles north of Detroit, was to resume classes Tuesday. The graffiti that led to its shutdown also made a reference to "4/14" but didn't specify a type or time of an attack, Montgomery said. In the Chicago area, two elementary schools and two high schools near St. Xavier canceled classes Monday after a Saturday meeting between school officials and city police. The fact that the threat mentioned a certain date helped administrators at Evergreen Park Southwest Elementary decide to shut down, district superintendent Craig Fiegel said. Other schools in the district — located in the village of Evergreen Park, next to Chicago — canceled outdoor recess and PE classes Monday. Fiegel called violent graffiti "the new bomb threat," recalling a period in the 1960s when bomb threats were regularly used to close down institutions. He said he worries that the closures could encourage other people who get a kick out of causing chaos. "At what point is it serious and at what point do you have to go on with it?" Fiegel said. NATION MIDLAND COUNTY SHERIFF ASSOCIATED PRESS This photo taken Thursday, April 3 by an unidentified member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was released Tuesday by church attorney Rod Parker, the spokesperson for members of the FLDS, shows an armored personnel carrier on property neighboring the Yearning For Zion ranch near Eldorado, Texas. Police heavily armed for raid on polygamist sect ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANGELO, Texas — Police wore body armor, sported automatic weapons and were backed by an armored personnel carrier for a raid on a West Texas polygamist retreat, photos and video released Tuesday show. Sect members took the photos and video during the first few days of a seven-day raid that involved police agencies from six counties, the Texas Rangers, the state highway patrol and wildlife officers. Authorities were looking for a teenage girl who had reported being abused by her 50-year-old husband. A sect member whose wife shot the video said sect members got the impression that state officials "were doing something more than they said they were going to do." The man declined to give his name for fear that speaking out would cause problems for his children, who are in state custody. Law enforcement surrounded the FLDS ranch April 3, carrying a warrant seeking a 16-year-old girl who claimed she was trapped inside the church retreat and had been beaten and raped by her husband. More than 400 children — all of whom lived in the large, dormitory-style log homes — were seized in the raid on suspicion they were being sexually and physically abused. They are being held in the San Angelo Coliseum and are awaiting a massive court hearing Thursday that will begin to determine their fate. Meisner said child welfare officials still can't find birth certificates for many of the children, making parentage and age determinations impossible. She said many of the children don't know who their parents are and many have the same last name but may or may not be related. Officials have yet to identify the 16-year-old whose call for help to a Texas domestic violence hotline triggered the raid. NATION The renegade Mormon sect is led by Warren Jeffs, who was sentenced to prison in Utah for forcing underage girls into polygamous marriages and is awaiting trial in Arizona on similar charges. ASSOCIATED PRESS Derogatory comments suspend DJs ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A radio station suspended two disc jockeys Tuesday over a derogatory remark about Alaska Native women made on their show, a comment that has Alaskans comparing the shock-jock duo to Don Imus. The Anchorage DJs, known as Woody and Wilcox, were joking about what makes someone a real Alaskan, when one of them said it was somebody who makes love to the Yukon River and urinates in a Native woman. It's a twist on an old saying — also offensive to many — that real Alaskans have urinated in the Yukon River and made love to an Alaska Native woman. Some Alaska Natives are calling for sanctions against KBFX-FM, the hard rock station that features Woody and Wilcox on its morning show. Natives are likening the remarks to those made last spring by Imus, who called the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos." CBS Radio fired Imus on April 12, 2007, and pulled the plug on his nationally syndicated show. He returned to the air in December at WABC-AM in New York after a series of public apologies. Gary Donovan, a market manager for the station, said he couldn't recall which of the two disc jockeys — whose real names are Greg State Rep. Mary Nelson, a Bethel Democrat who is part Yupik, voiced her disgust on the floor of the state House on Sunday, the last day of the legislative session. She labeled the Anchorage DJs' comments "abhorrent to the highest degree" and called for an apology, as well as punishment by the Federal Communications Commission. Wood and Chris Wilcox made the derogatory remarks. The station said it has indefinitely suspended the disc jockeys while they get sensitivity training. The state has long posted the highest sexual assault rate in the nation, and the problem is worst in rural, largely Native areas, according to a recent law enforcement study. The length of the suspension wasn't clear, though the station said the disc jockeys pay during that period would be donated to charity. WEDNESDAY IS COLLEGE NIGHT!

A rain garden was proposed for the north side of the Student Fitness Education Center. Sideoats Grama Routelown curtipendula BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com A proposed garden of natural flowers and grasses on campus could ensure that next fall, rains like those experienced last week wouldn't be flushed down the drain. The rain garden will provide a place for rainwater to infiltrate into the ground rather than running into Lawrence's sewer system. Studie Red Corn, Shawnee senior, initiated and designed the rain garden project as another link in the chain of student-initiated environmental endeavors on campus. Students will install the 5,480 square feet of plants and limestone on the north side of the Student Recreation Fitness Center early next semester when the building's extension has been completed. "This would probably be the largest student-designed project that ever happened on campus." Red Corn said. Plants in the garden will range from goldenrods and geraniums to Indian and Little bluestem grasses - all of which occur naturally in Kansas. Rainwater can sweep across parking lots, walkways and rooftops, picking up pollutants such as oil, grease, chemicals, and metals and deposit them into nearby rivers and lakes. The Environmental Protection Agency cites this as one of the leading sources of pollution in water bodies in the U.S. Red Corn said the colorful array of native vegetation would be highly visible on campus. It would also help diminish some of the water pollution caused by rainwater runoff on the paved areas surrounding the recreation center. The rain garden project will lessen the water pollution by catching rainwater where it falls and infiltrating it deep into the soil by way of the plants' roots. The environmental benefit of rain gardens has led to development of larger movements, such as the 10,000 Rain Gardens initiative in Kansas City, Mo. Lynn Hinkle, project manager of 10,000 Rain Gardens, said the project began three years ago when research showed that rain gardens scattered across the city helped alleviate overflow problems in Kansas City's sewer system. Hinkle said the project, paid for by the Water Services Department of Kansas City, Mo., has helped raise awareness for ways to reduce pollution related to storm water runoff. "By virtue of what KU is doing, we're really seeing it take off," Hinkle said. "Three years ago, nobody knew what a rain garden was. Now they're familiar with it." The garden will cost about $37,600, the bulk of which will come from grant money, Student Senate and the recreation center. Though there isn't specific data on the effect of rain gardens, Red Corn said he was confident the garden would make a difference on campus. "The University is at a point where it has a lot to gain with sustainability." Red Corn said. "And students, including myself, are learning a lot in the process." — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld Merger may dismay passengers AIRLINES nwa NORTHWEST AIRLINES ASSOCIATED PRESS A Northwest plane is seen parked as travelers wait for their flight Tuesday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Getting hitched may be the right move for Delta and Northwest. But for beleaguered air travelers, it could usher in an era of fewer flights, more confusion at the airport and even more crowded planes. BY CHRIS KAHN ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — Getting hitched may be the right move for Delta and Northwest. But for beleaguered air travelers, it could usher in an era of higher fares, fewer flights, more confusion at the airport and even more crowded planes. The merger could kick off a wave of airline consolidation. And while the effects would not be immediate because the combinations could take months to get regulatory approval, industry observers say get ready anyway for fewer carriers in the sky. Mergers, combined with a recent spate of airline bankruptcies, mean passengers in many cities can expect fewer flights to choose from, and they'll be packed even fuller than they are now. Greater demand for remaining seats translates into higher ticket prices. "There's no doubt in my mind fares are going to go up," said Rick Seaney, chief executive of FareCompare.com, which tracks changes in airline ticket prices. "Consumers are deluding themselves if they think that's not the case." Peter Schiff, president of brokerage firm Euro Pacific Capital, said the changes could put air travel out of reach for Americans of modest means. "Although manny Americans have come to regard affordable air travel as a birthright, from a global perspective it remains the province of the wealthy," Schiff said. Delta Air Lines Inc., which would create the world's largest airline, has already ignited talks among other airlines as they seek to bulk up to combat rising fuel prices in a slowing economy. "There's not doubt in my mind fares are going to go up. Consumers are deluding themselves if they think that's not the case."

The executives did not say what they might consider, but Continental has held talks with United Airlines in the past. United CEO Glenn Tilton issued his own statement to employees Tuesday in which he called industry consolidation "one of the changes necessary" for the industry to get to sustained profits. {The Place To Be Cool} FRESHWATER PARK Voted Top of the Hill 2007 Best Apartment Complex by KU Students!

Jon Goerina/KANSAN Batting, pitching seal the deal in Tuesday's victory BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com The Jayhawk bats lit up the Hoglund Ballpark scoreboard Tuesday night against Baker and the Jayhawks did so with a team effort. The Jayhawks shut out the Wildcats in the top half of the first inning and set the stage for things to come. The Jayhawks would also set the tone in the bottom of the inning. In the bottom of the first, senior right fielder Ryne Price hit a double to right field that scored freshman outfielder Brian Heere. The Hawks would continue to do damage with the next batter to the plate. Senior shortstop Erik Morrison hit a sacrifice fly that scored senior left fielder John Allman. fifth. The Jayhawks would end the inning with two runs. The Jayhawks had 21 different batters come to the plate and scattered 13 hits for 11 runs. Staying consistent, the Jayhawks would go on to score two in the third, four in the fourth and one in the Ryne Price went 3-3 with two doubles and increased his batting average to an impressive.338. "I thought last weekend was the worst I have swung all year," Price said. "I felt good again today, so hopefully I can continue it through Missouri State and Nebraska this weekend." While the Jayhawks hit the ball well Tuesday night, they also got a solid pitching performance from a number of Jayhawks. The Jayhawks started the game with six shutout innings and never allowed the Wildcats to get into the game. Senior Hiarali Garcia started the game and threw three innings, allowing no runs and only two hits. Garcia earned his second win of the year and raised his record to 2-0 on the season. The Jayhawks ran a number of pitchers out from the bullpen after that, with good innings from freshman Brett Bochy and junior Daniel Manos. The Wildcats fought back against a 9-0 KU lead right before the seventh-inning stretch with timely hitting and costly errors. The leadoff batter, senior first baseman Aaron Westerhouse, led off with a single through the left side and would later score. With two outs in the inning, senior Dusty Griffin delivered a single up the middle that would score two more runs. With three runs in the inning already, the Wildcats got three more runs off an error to left field and would put six runs on the board to finish the inning. "In baseball, sometimes these things happen," senior Matt Berner said. "Having the young guys in there, you just have to get through it. Thankfully everything worked out." The Jayhawks would add two more runs in the bottom of the eighth, which would end up being enough. With the 11-6 victory, the Jayhawks won their fourth in a row. —Edited by Russell Davies CONTINUED COVERAGE ON PAGE 10B MEN'S GOLF Jayhawks place eighth in invitational Team hopes strong finish gives momentum into Big 12 Championship I BY BRYAN WHEELER bwheeler@kansan.com Kansas' eighth-place finish in the River Landing Intercollegiate is the best finish for the spring season. The Jayhawks head to the Big 12 Championship on April 25. The men's golf team finished eighth in the River Landing Intercollegiate during the weekend. This marked the jayhawks best finish of the spring season. With a three round score of 881, Kansas finished 30 strokes behind tournament champions Duke. Courtesy of Jeff Jacobsen/KANSAS ATHLETICS "We faced our toughest competition of the year and played pretty solid," coach Kit Grove said. "It's a step in the right direction going into the Big 12 Championship." The Jayhaws competed against three top-25 teams in the country as determined by the Golfweek/Sagarin PerformanceIndex. The tournament was also Kansas' last competition before the Big 12 Championship April 25 to April 27. The team was led by its freshman duo of Brad Hopfinger and Nate Barbee. Hopfinger finished tied for 16th place with a three round score of 217. This was his sixth top-30 finish of the year. Hopfinger recorded the third-best round of his career, with five birdies in the third round and a score of 69. "I wasn't doing well at first, but I started to hit the ball straight and putted a lot better," Hopfinger said. Also competing for the Jayhawks were juniors Zach Pederson and Walt Koelbel. Pederson finished tied for 45th place with a three round score of 223. Pederson recorded a third round score of 72, which marked the fourth time he had finished on par or better. Barbee finished tied for 20th place with a three-round score of 218. Barbee has finished in the top-20 four times this year. Koelbel had a three-round score of 225 Y and finished tied for 54th place. Sophomore Patrick Roth had a three-round score of 236 and finished tied for 79th place. As a team, the Jayhawks improved during each round of the tournament with scores of 299, 294 and 288 subsequently. "It was a really solid tournament," Hopfinger said. "It was a really good effort as a team."

Key losses may affect chances at repeat BY THOR NYSTROM TNYSTROM@KANSAN.COM The official 2008 Kansas football poster was handed out Monday night in Memorial Stadium at the spring game. It features a large visored Kansas player flanked to his right by a scroll that reads, "We're Just Getting Started," and to his left by the 2008 Orange Bowl trophy. On the bottom of the poster players such as Todd Reesing, Kerry Meier and Jake Sharp are shown in football poses surrounded by giant oranges. The poster has the subtlety of a hammer on glass. It will serve to ratchet up the expectations of the fan base in an attempt to sell more tickets. In this way the poster does its job. It only takes the educated fan a quick glance to the poster's left to bring them back down to earth, however. It is the team's schedule. At South Florida. At Oklahoma. Texas Tech. At Nebraska. Texas, Missouri. Folks, it's about time we lower our expectation. The Athletics Department will be only too happy to remind fans that last year's team won the Orange Bowl. That's cool; I will hold the memories of being in Miami the day of that game until I die. I just fear it will unrealistically inflate fan's expectations of this year's team. Let's leave the past where it belongs and focus on the future. I don't feel like this marketing campaign is doing any favors to the team with the insinuation that another Orange Bowl is a realistic option. Because let's just put all the cards on the table: It isn't. Last year's schedule was cake. The galaxies aligned. This year it is brutal. Next year's team could be better than last and still finish the regular season 9-3. That is reality. Kansas is not a national championship contender next year. They aren't even a BCS contender. I'm not trying to be the Grinch. This is just reality. Additionally, there are no guarantees that the 2008 Jayhawks are more talented than the 2007 version. On top of the departing seniors, cornerback Agib Talib and offensive tackle Anthony Collins bolted for the NFL (tangentially, this brings me to the high comedy of the last year's KU football team picture. Check it out if you have a copy. It was distributed at the Spring Game with the words "2008 Orange Bowl Champions" at the bottom. Anyway, take a look at Talib. Every single player and coach is looking at the camera and either smiling or glaring. Except Aqib, who is looking off to his right into space. I like to think he is already figuratively looking to his future in the NFL, his head no longer with his current team, or maybe wondering whether he will tell pro personnel people about his marijuana use in college. End of tangent). In my humble opinion, the loss of Collins will prove to be much bigger than the loss of Talib. We all knew Talib was gone after this season. It was easier to plan for life without him. And while I respect his big play ability, not only on defense but sporadically with the offense, the guy was frequently burned by big time receivers at the college level. He is a gambler. A huge gamber. Sometimes that pays off, like with his interception return for a touchdown ("I felt like Deion!") that might have swung the outcome of the Orange Bowl. Sometimes it doesn't. I think replacing Talib with a lesser talented but more disciplined corner isn't going to be the drop-off people think it is. Collins is different. He turned himself into a stud in 2007. I attribute much more of the offense's success to the offensive line, anchored by Collins, than I do to the skill position guys last year. And that isn't to take anything away from Reesing & Company. The Hawks were able to dominate the line of scrimmage last year with one of the country's best left tackles. Are you convinced Kansas will still have a dominant offensive line when Collins is gone next year? I am not. The left tackle position is crucial in this team's passing game. Plus, this bears repeating: Wise defensive coordinator Bill Young took his act to Miami. I won't even try to predict the significance of this, but it is more than negligible. You don't lose one of the country's best assistants and not experience at least a slight downgrade. All of these things, and especially the difficulty of the schedule, need, us to back up and re-evaluate things. 7-5 with a lower-tier bowl invitation would not be a disaster. 8-4 would be a really solid season. And considering the circumstances, a 9-3 season would be absolutely stellar. If this team could finish 10-2 with the talent they have and against the schedule they are playing, then as far as I am concerned Mark Mangino can be sainted. In short, despite the advertising, do not expect another 12-1 season with a BCS berth. Mark Mangino is "just getting started," building this program into a perennial power. But the deck is just too stacked against him this year to expect double digit wins. — Edited by Daniel Reyes 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 2008 trivia of the dav Q: Which college football team has the longest winning streak in history?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs ended 2007 with a nine-game losing streak. The Chiefs open the 2008 regular season on the road for the second straight year with a matchup against the New England Patriots. And Kansas City's schedule doesn't get much easier from there, with four other games against teams that made the playoffs in 2007: at home against Tampa Bay and Tennessee, and twice against San Diego. The Chiefs, coming off their second-worst record (4-12) in 30 years, follow the season opener in New England with a home game against the Oakland Raiders on Sept. 14, then travel to Atlanta for the first time since 1997. Another long streak ends two weeks later when Kansas City plays its first regular-season game in Carolina since 1997. An even longer interlude ends on Nov.2, when the Buccaneers play at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time since 1986 — the second-longest active streak in the NFL. The Chiefs catch a short break in the schedule with home games against New Orleans and Buffalo at the end of November, but that's followed by road games against AFC West rivals Oakland and Denver. Kansas City closes the season against Cincinnati on Dec. 28 after a pair of home games against San Diego and Miami.

Greene also denied the accusations, which were made by a witness in a U.S. government investigation into sports doping and reported this past weekend in the New York Times.

Nick Davies said the MLB Bite-less Tigers slumping Detroit 19 Jacque Jones of the Detroit Tigers reacts after striking out against the Chicago White Sox during the ninth inning Sunday in Chicago. The White Sox won 11-0, sending the Tigers to a major league-league 2-9 record. Detroit has the worst ERA in the majors at about six runs a game. DETROIT — Edgar Renteria joked that he didn't know English when asked to talk about the struggling Detroit Tigers. ASSOCIATED PRESS The reporter then replied in broken Spanish: "You said this was like a Dream Team in Lakeland. Why are the Tigers 2-10?" In any language, the team with baseball's worst record and second-highest payroll is stumped for answers. The Tigers found out hitting would help their problems. "I don't know," Renteria said Monday before Detroit rallied to beat the Minnesota Twins 11-9. They set a season high in runs and hits (16) to win for the first time in seven games at home. But at 3-10 overall, they still have baseball's worst record. "You give a lineup like that some confidence and they're going to get you," said Matt Guerrier, who gave up five runs — four earned — to boost Detroit's comeback. The Tigers were a popular pick during spring training not only to play in the postseason, but to win their first World Series title since 1984. History is not on their side. No team that started 2-10, as Detroit did, has won a World Series and just three rallied from such a rough start to even be in the playoffs: the 1951 New York Giants, 1974 Pittsburgh Pirates and 2001 Oakland Athletics. "All of baseball is surprised and alarmed at what's going on with the Tigers," Twins outfielder Michael Cuddyer said. "But nobody in this clubhouse and nobody in this league is writing them off. When you know the type of players they have, you know they're not going to stay down for long." That's what the Tigers are hoping because their payroll is nearly $139 million. Detroit's top acquisition Miguel Cabrera — is not the only one off to a poor start, but his lack of production stands out because the team decided to pay him $152 million-plus over the next eight seasons. Cabrera averaged 32 horners, 115RBIs while hitting. 318 the previous four seasons in Florida, sensational statistics that just Albert Pujols The third baseman went 2-for4 with his second RBI since the opener to improve his batting average to .205 against Minnesota. and Vladimir Guerrero matched in those categories since 2004. "He's obviously pressing," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "But we haven't hit as a team. Miguel Cabrera isn't the one that hasn't hit." Reigning AL batting champion Maggilio Ordonez was hitting .234 before going 3-for-4 Monday. Placido Polanco, Gary Sheffield and Ivan Rodriguez all had sub-.200 batting averages through Sunday. Leyland's right. The pitching has been bad, too. Detroit has the worst ERA in the majors — about six runs a game — and had matched the baseball high for walks going into the series opener against the Twins. — Kenny Rogers, Nate Robertson and Dontrelle Willis — are a combined 0-4 with ERAs ranging from 6.52 to 7.84 after a combined seven starts. Ace Justin Verlander 0-2 with a 6.52 ERA. Three other starters "That tells you how bad it's been going for us," Leyland said Sunday after the Chicago White Sox shut out Detroit for the second straight game. The Tigers' defense had been average, ranking in the middle of the pack in errors before making three more Monday, and a miscue Sunday seemed symbolic as Cabrera tripped on the third-base umpire's foot to foil his shot at an easy catch. Carnegie Steel Co. heiress dies at 100 OBITUARY ASSOCIATED PRESS (1) STAMFORD, Conn. — Polly Lauder Tunney, the Carnegie Steel Co. heiress whose marriage to heavyweight boxing champion Gene Tunney made international headlines in 1928, has died, her family said.

Dempsey knocked Tunney to the canvas in the seventhround, but the referee delayed the count because Dempsey did not immediately heed a new rule that it could not start until the fighter was in a neutral corner.

Many fight fans and reporters contended that Tunney would have been counted out if it had not been for the delayed count. 。 图 --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 2008 SPORTS 3B 》TRACK & FIELD Kansas Relays start tomorrow KANSAN FILE PHOTO BAS Jayhawks hope to maintain momentum from Saturday's invitational Competitors line up to practice before the women's pole vault Saturday morning at Memorial Stadium.

Home meets that feature Olympic athletes are even more rare. Starting today, students will have the opportunity to watch the Jayhawks compete with some of the best athletes in the world. Kansas will host its 81st annual Kansas Relays at Memorial Stadium. The relays take place during the next three days and conclude on Saturday. The jayhawks are optimistic after posting several impressive performances at the John Jacobs Invitational last weekend in Norman, Okla. Senior hurdler Ashley Brown tied her school record in the women's 100-meter hurdles and junior Nickesha Anderson broke the meet record in the women's 200-meter dash, set seven years ago. Anderson's time of 23.7 seconds is currently the fastest women's 200-meter time in the NCAA. In addition to Anderson and Brown's solid performances, nine Kansas athletes regionally qualified at last weekend's meet. 10:30 a.m. - Heptathlon 100 Meter Hurdles Regionally qualifying for the women were Anderson, Brown, junior Victoria Howard in the 200-meter dash, senior Alicia McGregor in the 3,000-meter dash, senior pole-vaulter Libby Harmon, freshman pole-vaulter Julia Cummings and senior long-jumper Crystal Manning. schedule 10 a.m. - Decathlon 100 Meter Dash Manning competed against former KU athlete Charisse Bacchus in the long jump and took home the victory in an exciting finish.

Edited by Russell Davies 》 OLYMPICS 北京2008年奥运会 ASSOCIATED PRESS A Pakistani boy releases a dove during a rehearsal for the upcoming Olympic torch greeting ceremony at Pakistan Sport Complex in Islamabad, Pakistan Tuesday. The Olympic torch will arrive in Pakistan today on its 20-country, 137,000-kilometer (85,100-mile), global journey. Torch run stumbles en route to Beijing ASSOCIATED PRESS ISLMABAD, Pakistan — The Olympic torch came to Pakistan early Wednesday for what the pro-China government hoped would be a festive and trouble-free leg of its world tour. Protests against China's human rights record disrupted the torch's passage through Western cities last week, and Pakistani authorities took pains to avoid any repeat during its short stay en route to Beijing. A jetliner bringing the torch from the Persian Gulf sultanate of Oman arrived at the military section of Islamabad airport shortly after midnight. A Chinese Olympic official carried a lantern containing the flame down the steps to Pakistani sports chiefs and the Chinese ambassador. After briefly posing with the lantern, the officials entered the terminal. State TV said the flame would be kept at a luxury hotel overnight. Later Wednesday, Hassan Sardar, a field hockey gold medalist in the 1984 Los Angeles games, squash star Jahangir Khan and some five dozen other Pakistani athletes were scheduled to participate in a torch relay. They were to take turns carrying the torch during a ceremony featuring folk music and dances at the capital's biggest sports complex before a crowd expected to include President Pervez Musharraf. Plans originally called for athletes to relay the torch along a nearly two-mile route from the white marble parliament building to Jinnah Stadium, but that was changed to just a run around the sports complex itself. Col. Basee Haider, an army officer helping organize the event, said the change was made because of the "overall security environment" and the risk of bad weather. A violent hailstorm hit Islamabad on Tuesday. The Pakistan Olympic Association urged independent broadcasters relaying state TV's coverage of the torch to avoid "negative comments" and make "no mention" of the conflict in Tibet. GOURMET BURRITO. (NOT AN OXYMORON) Chipotle. MEXICAN GRILL 9TH & MASS Chipotle MEXICAN GRILL 4B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16,2008 COMMENTARY Kansas rivalry not up to par Jayhawk-Wildcat matchup doesn't garner enough attention BY BEN ASHWORTH BASHWORTHKANSAN.COM Almost everyone who watched the NCAA tournament recognized the often-played Sheraton Hotels commercial featuring the fans of basketball's most prominent rivalries acting with chivalry to one another. Acts such as North Carolina fan allowing a Duke fan under an umbrella during a downpour, a UCLA fan holding an elevator for a frazzled USC fan and a Syracuse fan wiping the ranch dressing off of a Georgetown fan's beard are featured in the commercial. Though ridiculous in its premise, the commercial's failure to recognize the Kansas-Kansas State rivalry that we value so much in Lawrence reflects the failure nationally—it is not seen as a top matchup. This is why it does not seem strange for me, a KU fan since birth, to be slightly saddened about the early departure of Michael Beasley and, potentially, of Bill Walker from K-State. Allow me to use an analogy that I think most people will understand: Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Anyone who watched the Looney Tunes series knows that Wile E. Coyote tried and failed to catch the Road Runner from the show's outset to its finale, despite many complex strategies and unorthodox techniques. In the end, it was always the Coyote whose ideas backfired and the Roadrunner who, just by going along with its routine, sped away to safety. In this particular analogy, Kansas State is Wile E. Coyote and Kansas is the Road Runner. For 24 years, Kansas continued to thwart Kansas State's valiant efforts. For a long 24 years, the Jayhawks dominated like the Harlem Globetrotters while the Wildcats stifled jealous looks. A 24-year period of domination, while still entertaining for Kansas fans, did not do justice to the potential that this rivalry could have had. With the addition of Michael Beasley, suddenly Kansas vs. Kansas State was a heated rivalry again. Wile E. Coyote had finally found a piece of ACME equipment that had a legitimate chance at capturing the elusive Road Runner. Beasley immediately I beg Kansas fans to remember the day that Kansas State came to Allen Fieldhouse. The anticipation was tangible and the spirit was sky-high. made the rivalry relevant. Before he even began the season, he gave it significance with his now infamous Africa speech. He presented Kansas State fans with new hope and a reason to finally trash talk. And obviously, he helped give his fans something that most of them had never seen in their lifetime: a victory against Kansas in Manhattan. And as tough as that loss was to Kansas fans, it renewed publicity to a rivalry that had experienced some down years. The reason that the Duke-North Carolina game is always dubbed as the game of the regular season is because it is remarkably even. The only thing predictable in those games is that the outcome will be unpredictable. Both teams have seen great players consistently walk through their doors. The Dukies lay claim to Grant Hill, Elton Brand, Shane Battier and Christian Laettner. Meanwhile, the Tar Heels counter with Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Vince Carter and Tyler Hansbrough. Before Beasley and fellow superfrosh Bill Walker, what players did Kansas State match up against the likes of Danny Manning, Paul Pierce and Nick Collison? Pervis Pasco? Not a favorable matchup for the Wildcat faithful. Often lost in the Michael Beasley hype was the key addition of Walker, the No. 7 high school recruit in 2007, according to Rivals.com. Though not a great outside shooter, Walker still found a way to obtain the identity of a scorer, just as Keith Langford did at Kansas four years ago. And most importantly, he kept defenses from focusing entirely on Beasley. Walker has not signed an agent and thus will be eligible for a return to Kansas State for his sophomore season. But if Walker does in fact forgo his final years of eligibility and join Beasley in declaring for the NBA Draft, the rivalry will lose its spark just as quickly as it gained prominence. The rest of the nation will not be as interested in watching Ron Anderson and Jacob Pullen try to tangle with the goliaths of Kansas as they were in witnessing a dynamic duo take on a balanced powerhouse. I beg Kansas fans to remember the day that Kansas State came to Allen Fieldhouse. The anticipation was tangible and spirit was skyhigh. Jayhawk fans were desperate to see Beasley come into their house and experience the Phog at its finest. He had to be repaid for the injustice he caused the entire town of Lawrence. That is the feeling that Duke fans get every time North Carolina marches into their town. That is the feeling of a pure rivalry, filled with hatred and emotion. With the loss of Beasley and potential loss of Walker, we will probably be forced to wait another few years for that intense, passionate rivalry to resurface. I would have been thrilled to wait only until next year's matchup. — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld MLB Mariners' sacrifice flies down Royals ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — John McLaren didn't need a bat or ball in spring training.

Prabha BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony concludes reading a statement to apologize to his fans and teammates at a news conference in Denver on Tuesday. Anthony was pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol at 4 a.m. on Monday. DENVER — Nuggets All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony said Tuesday he was "truly sorry" for his arrest on DUI charges, and police denied giving him special treatment, even though one officer gave him a lift after his arrest and another drove his car to a city lot. "I'm here to man up to my mistake, just to let you know that I'm truly sorry for what happened and everything that's going on," Anthony said. "What happened Monday morning was truly and totally unacceptable." He spoke for about two minutes and left without taking questions. He didn't refer to his notes, appearing instead to speak off the cuff. The team later released a written statement attributed to him. Hahn said officers also have the discretion to have suspects' cars towed to an impound lot, let a friend or relative move it or move it themselves. Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said it's "not a standard practice (for an officer to give a DUI suspect a ride), but it is done on occasion and it is not a violation of department policy." Teammate Allen Iverson stood off to the side as Anthony spoke. Anthony acknowledged the arrest came at a bad time, hours before the Nuggets clinched their fifth consecutive postseason appearance when the Golden State Warriors lost on Monday night. "It's kind of bad timing right now, due to the playoffs, due to our team's success," he said. "Once again, I just want to apologize." Anthony was alone in his silver Mercedes when an officer pulled him over on Interstate 25 early Monday for weaving and falling to dim his lights, police said. Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony was arrested after he failed a series of sobriety tests and was taken to police headquarters. Hahn said a police sergeant then drove Anthony to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Denver. Hahn said it's her understanding that Anthony's fiancee LaLa Vazquez couldn't pick him up because of child-care issues. The couple have a young son together. Anthony's attorney, Dan Recht, said his client consented to a blood test, but results won't be available for about two weeks. His first court appearance is scheduled for May 14. Another officer drove Anthony's car to a city lot until it could be picked up, Hahn said. Officers said Anthony didn't get preferential treatment.

Immelman enjoys life after the Masters For someone who's on top of the world, Trevor Immelman has spent a lot of time looking up the last few days. ASSOCIATED PRESS One day after becoming the Masters champion, Immelman was courtside at Madison Square Garden for the Boston Celtics' 99-93 victory over the New York Knicks. He was invited to the Celtics' locker room at halftime by coach Doc Rivers, who wanted his team to shake hands with a champion. "There might have been a trainer that was shorter than me," said Immelman, who stands 5-foot-9 with the help of golf spikes. "But I'm standing next to Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, and I'm belt-high. It's pretty incredible that human beings are that damn big." Tuesday morning, he was taken by limousine to the Empire State Building for a photo shoot atop the tallest building in Manhattan. There also were TV and radio interviews on the agenda, including his reading of a Top 10 list on the "Late Show with David Letterman" and an appearance on "Live with Regis and Kelly." The highlight, though, might have been halftime. Born and raised in South Africa, he now lives in Orlando, Fla., and loves the NBA. Immelman is a regular at Orlando Magic games. Even so, he found it surreal to be among giants in green jerseys, listening to them praise a golfer in a green jacket. "They were telling me they were in Atlanta and watched the end of the tournament, and that they were proud of me," Immelman said. "It's kind of weird to see superstars congratulate me on something I've done." There has been a lack of sleep, and little time for all this to sink in. All because he did something extraordinary. "These are things that don't happen to ordinary people," Immelman said. Not since Seve Ballesteros in 1980 had a player put his name atop the leaderboard after the first round and stay there over four days at Augusta National, a course where Immelman correctly noted that there's "a disaster around every corner." He became the first South African to win the Masters since Gary Player, his idol and inspiration, 30 years earlier. And he joined Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, David Duval and Vijay Singh as the players to win a major by three shots in the last 10 years. "That's pretty hefty company," Immelman said. "It will take some time before that sinks in." Until his Masters victory, Immelman said his greatest golfing achievement had been winning the Nedbank Challenge four months ago in South Africa. Regular season comes to a close >> NBA ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX 112, GOLDEN STATE 116 No stunning upsets on the horizon for the Golden State Warriors. They won't even be in the playoffs this spring. ELLIS 8 SUNS 3 PIX A year after shocking Western Conference leader Dallas in the first round of the playoffs, the Warriors were eliminated from contention 122-116 by Phoenix on Monday night. The loss clinched the eighth spot for Denver. "We gave our all, we played hard to the end," guard Monta Ellis said. "I mean, the better team won. That's it." Amare Stoudemire scored 11 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter and Phoenix recovered after blowing a 17-point lead. Steve Nash nearly had a tripledouble with 13 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds as the Suns remained in the midst of a scramble for playoff positioning and possible home-court advantage in the first round. ASSOCIATED PRESS "There's a lot of woulda, coulda, shoulda," Nash said, "but overall with all things that have gone on this year, we've put ourselves in a good position. If we can win the last game, we could creep into the top four there. That would be nice, but either way I think our team is still getting better, and we can just keep improving throughout the playoffs." UTAH 105, HOUSTON 96 At Salt Lake City, Carlos Boozer had 21 points and 11 rebounds, pulling the jazz even with the Rockets in the muddled Western Conference standings with one game to go. Both teams are 54-27, but by winning two of three against the Rockets, the Jazz would hold home-court advantage if they still have identical records after Wednesday and meet in the opening round of the playoffs. Mehmet Okur added 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Jazz, who won for the sixth time in seven games and finished their home schedule 37-4. At Sacramento, Calif., Tony SAN ANTONIO 101, SACRAMENTO 98 SAN ANTONIO 101. Phoenix Suns' Boris Diaw (3), of France, defends Golden State Warriors' Monta Ellis (8) in the third quarter of an NBA basketball game Monday in Phoenix. The Suns won 122-116. Parker tied his season high with 32 points and added 11 assists for San Antonio. The victory, coupled with Houston's loss, put the Spurs in position to clinch third place in the conference for a second straight season. A year ago, they defeated Cleveland in the NBA finals. Wizards 117, Pacers 110 At Washington, coach Eddie Jordan went to his bench early and often, getting 31 points from Roger Mason, 14 from rookie Nick Young and little resistance from the Pacers' defense as Indiana was eliminated from playoff contention. Atlanta got the eighth spot in the East. Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks argued with the refs and guard Andre Miller punted the ball in frustration. The Sixers thought the game was over and ran off the court, while the refs huddled at midcourt to look at the replay. The Cavaliers stayed on the bench. After the play was reviewed for a few minutes, Dalembert was hit with his sixth foul. The Sixers had to come back and watch Brown stun them for the controversial win. The Wizards, who have won five of six, entered the game with a chance to gain home-court advantage in their upcoming first-round playoff series against Cleveland. CLEVELAND 91, PHILADELPHIA 90 John Salmons led the Kings with 29 points, Spencer Hawes had 17, Beno Udrih scored 16 and Garcia added 15. LeBron James scored 27 points, Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 22 and the Cavaliers clinched home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs against Washington. At Philadelphia, Devin Brown made two free throws with 0.2 seconds left after Philadelphia was brought back from the locker room. The Sixers appeared to have won after Lou Williams hit a fadeaway jumper with 5.1 seconds left, his second go-ahead basket in the final minute. Instead, Brown was fouled by Samuel Dalembert with only a couple of ticks left. CHICAGO 151, MILWAUKEE 135 At Milwaukee, Luol Deng CINNABON Premium Coffee Lattes Latte for Class? It’s Worth It.

The Bulls also got 22 points and 15 assists from Chris Duhon, and three other players finished in double digits as Chicago fell five points short of the franchise record set in 1990. The Bulls shot 67 percent from the field, just off a franchise high set in 1981. Milwaukee lost its seventh straight. The lone bright spot for the Bucks was rookie Ramon Sessions, who set a franchise record with 24 assists. Sessions also scored 20 points BOSTON 99, NEW YORK 93 At New York, Rajon Rondo had 23 points and 10 rebounds for Boston, which improved to 65-16 despite giving Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen the night off. Sam Cassell added 22 points for the Celtics. Nate Robinson scored 26 points, and David Lee had 12 points and 16 rebounds for the Knicks, who fell to 23-58 and need a win in their season finale at Indiana to avoid tying the franchise record for losses, last matched two years ago during Larry Brown's lone season. TORONTO 91, MIAMI 75 At Toronto, Rasho Nesterovic scored 20 points, while Chris Bosh had 15 for the Raptors, who locked up the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and a first-round matchup with Orlando. Nesterovic was 10-for-19 from the field, scoring double figures for the 17th consecutive game. Daequan Cook had 22 points for the Heat, who lost for the 21st time in their past 24 games. $500 student bonus cash EXCLUSIVE OFFER Additional savings just for college and trade school students, recent grads and grad students $500 student bonus cash www.FordDrivesU.com/College 2008 Ford Focus SES 1078 DRIVES U TO THE REEL WORLD Sweepstakes Go to www.FordDrivesU.com/College for your chance to win a “Reel” Hollywood experience and a New 2009 Ford Focus! --- THE UNIVERSITY DARRY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 2008 SPORTS CROSSROADS KC 417 E 18th N BROOKLYN AGRINDERN WWW.CROSSROADS.KC.COM FRI Apr 25 PAT GREEN CROSSROADS.ICC 412 E 19th N KK80 AT GRINDERS WWW.CROSSROADS.ICC.COM FRI APR 25 PAT GREEN SAT APR 26 GEORGE CLINTON AND THE P-FUNK ALLSTARS 图 CROSSROADS KC 417 E 18th SRCNC0 AT GRINDERS WWW.CROSSROADSSEC.COM FRI APR 25 PAT GREEN SAT APR 26 GEORGE CLINTON AND THE P-FUNK ALLSTARS FRIMAY 2, FIRST FRIDAY: FREE SHOWTON 21 & UNDER 21 POMEROY MON MAY 5 CINCO DE MAYO!

The center of the celebration was at Citi Field, the New York Mets' $800 million ballpark under construction adjacent to Shea Stadium. But even as her husband's legacy was being memorialized in stone, brick and terrazzo, a study was released that said blacks made up "People will say: 'I'll meet you at 42.' Everybody will know where that is" Mets owner Fred Wilpon said, lovingly putting his hand on the back of Rachel Robinson, still spry at age 85. FRED WILPON New York Mets Owner The Mets unveiled designs for the rotunda, which will contain eight huge pictures of Robinson and have an 8-foot statue of his number in Dodger blue. It will be the central entrance for the ballpark, which opens in 2009, and the Mets estimate 30,000 fans per game will pass through. "I'm very disappointed by that fact," Robinson said. "Competition from other sports is certainly a b factor but there are many factors. We've got to work on it in terms of getting younger children playing, into the game, and getting communities behind the programs." Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers for the first time on April 15, 1947. His number was retired for all major league teams during ceremonies at Shea Stadium attended by President Clinton on the 50th anniversary.

"This is an overwhelming experience," Robinson said. "At my stage of life, you're looking for permanence, you're looking for things that are going to shore up the future. So many times developments don't last, progress doesn't last. What the rotunda means to me is we have evidence of the progress we've made in the past." "When fans and families and children walk through that rotunda," Robinson said, "I hope they're going to reflect on not just what they see that Jackie Robinson accomplished, but also think about themselves and say, 'What am I doing?

Gore-Mann introduced Walters as the new San Francisco men's basketball coach at a news conference in San Francisco Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY JOSH DUBOW ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco lured former NBA player Rex Walters away from Florida Atlantic to take over its struggling basketball program. "The University of San Francisco is a national name and we need to be a national basketball program," Walters said. "The challenge of that really excited me." Walters, who had a 31-33 record in two seasons for the Owls, was formally introduced at a news conference Monday. Walters takes over for Jessie Evans, who was forced to take a leave of absence in the middle of last season and then was fired last month. Eddie Sutton took over the program on an interim basis for the remainder of the season as the Dons finished 10-21 in their third straight losing season. USF has struggled in recent years to compete with West Coast Conference power Gonzaga, and has also fallen behind Saint Mary's, San Diego and Santa Clara in recent years in the conference. Walters said his goal is "to hang banners" at a school that won NCAA titles in 1955 and '56 with Bill Russell but has not been to the NCAA tournament since 1998. Walters will be the third new coach in the eight-team WCC, joining Tom Asbury at Pepperdine and Bill Bayno at Loyola Mountaint. "There's something special here. There's something special about the city," Walters said. "I told the guys they will all come in with a blank slate. I don't worry so much about what happened in the past. I'm here to talk about USF basketball today and in the future." Walters inherits a roster led by Dior Lowhorn, who was No. 1 in the WCC in scoring at 20.5 points per game last season. Walters spent one year as an assistant at Florida Atlantic before taking over the program when Matt Doherty left to coach SMU. The Owls went 16-15 in Walters' first season, before falling to 15-18 this season. Walters previously spent two years as an assistant at Valparaiso. Walters began his college career at Northwestern. He transferred to Kansas and played his final two college seasons under Roy Williams. Walters averaged 15.6 points per game with the Jayhawks, helping the team reach the Final Four in 1993. Walters said he wouldn't be where he was if not for the time he spent with Williams. He also thanked some of his NBA coaches, Chuck Daly, Larry Brown and Pat Riley, for helping his progress. Walters was selected 16th overall by New Jersey in the 1993 NBA draft and played seven seasons for the Nets, Philadelphia and Miami. He averaged 4.6 points per game in his career. NFL Broncos move Williams again ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — D.J. Williams is used to moving around the Denver Broncos defense, but he hopes this latest move sticks. Williams has played all three linebacker positions in his four-year career, and for 2008 he is going from middle linebacker back to the weak "I already feel like a knockaround guy, like hey, we can put him here, we can throw him there." side, a position he played through college and in his rookie year of 2004. "If I would have played (weak side) every year here, this would be my ninth year playing (it) because I played it all through college," "I enjoyed playing (middle) last year, I had fun," he said. "I thought I caught on well at the end, but the team decided to move me back to (weak side), so that's what I'm doing." D.J. WILLIAMS Denver Broncos linebacker "I haven't been happy about the movement, but I like the organization, I like the city," Williams said Tuesday at the Broncos' practice facility. "I understand why I had to move; it made the team better. Sometimes it's always not best for you." Switching positions has been an every year occurrence for Williams, but it hasn't been easy. Williams' size — he's listed at 6-foot-1, 242 pound's — made him a versatile guy in the Denver defense. "I already feel like a little knockaround guy, like hey, we can put him here, we can throw him there," he said. "Just as long as I was successful at each position." Williams moved to strong-side linebacker his second year, back to weak side in his third year and last year he moved to the middle. He said his best position is weak side, but by moving around he has made himself a valuable player. he said. "A lot of things come second nature. But at the same time, the fact that I changed a lot of positions, it puts your value up. You're a guy who can be put anywhere." Despite a strong statistical year in 2007, Williams feels he's better at Williams' best game came at Oakland on Dec. 6 when he had 16 tackles, 12 unassisted, and recovered a fumble. In two games against the Raiders, Williams had 29 tackles. weak side linebacker than at middle linebacker. Williams was second in the NFL in tackles with 170, 121 unassisted. He easily surpassed his previous high of 114, 82 unassisted, that he reached as a rookie.

Sunday. Turner DRTIZ 34 Worker attempts to curse Yankee stadium with jersey BY KAREN MATTHEWS ASSOCIATED PRESS After locating the shirt in a service corridor behind what will be a restaurant in the new Yankee Stadium, construction workers jackhammered through the concrete Sunday and pulled it out. The team said it learned that a Sox-rooting construction worker had buried a shirt in the new Bronx stadium, which will open next year across the street from the current ballpark, from a report in the New York Post on Friday. NEW YORK — A construction worker's bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled Sunday when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot. "The first thought was, you know, it's never a good thing to be buried in cement when you're in New York," Levine said. "But then we decided, why reward somebody who had really bad motives Yankees President Randy Levine said team officials at first considered leaving the shirt there. and was trying to do a really bad thing?" On Saturday, construction workers who knew the employee, Gino Castignoli, phoned in tips about the shirt's location. "We had anonymous people come tell us where it was, and we were able to find it," said Frank Gramarossa, a project executive with Turner Construction, the general contractor on the site. Trost said the Yankees had discussed possible criminal charges against Castignoli with the district attorney's office. On Sunday, Levine and Yankees CEO Lonn Trost watched as Gramarossa and foreman Rich Corrado finished the job and pulled the shirt from the rubble. It took about five hours of drilling Saturday to locate the shirt under 2 feet of concrete, he said. "We will take appropriate action since fortunately we do know the name of the individual," he said. In shreds from the jackhammers, the shirt still bore the letters "Red Sox" on the front. It was a David Ortiz jersey, No. 34.

Go to Kansan.com for A photo gallery LINKS www.nba.com/hornets www.nba.com/playerfile/julian_wright/ www.nba.com BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com New Orleans — Julian Wright brakes his sleek black 2008 Nissan Armada to a stop at the security gate of an upscale New Orleans suburb. The woman in the booth knows him by name. He smiles, says hello and the crossbar rises. He steers past two-story red-brick and stone houses with lush green lawns dotted with palm trees, turns through a black iron gate and stops in the driveway. A "Welcome" sign greets him at the front door as he steps inside his home. One year ago, Wright was a KU sophomore forward for the men's basketball team, and his compensation included tuition, a shared room at the Jayhawker Towers and meals. He dined with students at Mrs. E's cafeteria and the Underground, drove a seven-year-old silver Chrysler Concord and was on pace to graduate in three years. Today, he is an NBA rookie who has traded in his school books for basketball fulltime as a reserve for the New Orleans Hornets. At age 20, he is a multimillionaire who lives a luxurious lifestyle that millions dream about but only a few can live. Wright enjoys owning his own home, competing for an NBA Championship, driving in the fast lane and bowling with teammates. He acknowledges his good fortune and knows he must manage his money wisely. He wants to give back both to his family who supported him and to those who are less fortunate. And, at the same time former teammates Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers ponder whether to join him in the NBA, Wright looks forward to returning to Kansas to complete some unfinished business. HOME LIFE Wright lives in his own stylish house in English Turn, an elite residential community in south New Orleans, where homes start at $400,000 and can cost well more than $1 million. Wright said he wanted to live far from downtown to avoid distractions so he could focus on basketball. Most of his family has relocated from Chicago to be with him, although, his father, Paul Vinson, still lives in Chicago and works as a postal worker. Julian's older brother, Andre, 26, lives with him. He cooks, cleans and takes care of Julian's errands when he's on the road. Their mother, Gina Wright, quit her job at an ad agency in Chicago and now lives nearby in the same subdivision in a house Julian bought her as a gift for raising him. "It's a good feeling to make decisions on your own," Wright said. "That's part of becoming a man." "A lot of hard work has paid off," he said. "It was a no-brainer to tend to my mother's wishes. I'm glad I've been able to do that. I can't take credit for all my successes. It started with her." Gina keeps an eye on her sons and enjoys cooking them their favorite spaghetti and chili dinners at Julian's house. She said they appreciated spending time together because Julian's travel schedule of 41 road games sometimes made that difficult. Julian's life typifies that of an NBA rookie. He owns a nice house, but its rumped disorder is what you would expect from a 20-year-old college student. He likes to read, write poetry, take long naps, play on his computer and shop online for shoes, especially Nike Fusions, like the white and blue ones on his feet. At 6-foot-8 and 225 pounds, Wright needs ample room and food, and he has both. His fridge is completely full. Three gallon-jugs of milk, two dozen eggs, Hershey's chocolate syrup, meats and bread fill the shelves. His diet is a mix of health and junk food. He regularly eats vegetables, potatoes, pasta, seafood, gumbo and jumbalaya, his favorite food. He also drinks plenty of water and Gatorade to keep his body hydrated for grueling NBA practices. His living room is where he lives like a king and like a kid. A large flat screen Panasonic TV is stationed at the front, where X-Box video games and DVDs spill out from containers. He's always playing video games, even in his bedroom where SEE WRIGHT ON PAGE 4A + --- 2A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 2008 quote of the day "Skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face."

Spotlight on Organizations Finance Club By Helen Mubarakhmubarak@kansan.com "I thought it was very enlightening," Mixon said. "We had the chance to interact with some speakers that were high-profile people. (Club members are) afforded the opportunity to meet with some pretty extraordinary individuals." Marc Mixon, Shawnee graduate, was sitting in Financial Accounting when he realized that it wasn't enough just to go to class—he wanted to get involved in an extracurricular activity associated with his major. Mixon, who completed his Bachelor of Science in finance in December, got involved by becoming a member of the Finance Club. Members of the finance faculty help the club find speakers in fields like corporate finance, investment banking, money management and research. Mixon said the speakers are often alumni of the University "I wanted to find a club or group that focused not only on learning, but also provided me the opportunity to be a leader and work on my speaking skills," Davis said. "It's a good group to join." of Kansas. Guest speakers tell students about their jobs and the hurdles they had to overcome and students are given the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the speakers. In addition to the tangible advantages of being a member, the Finance Club also gives students the opportunity to simply increase their knowledge of the field. Part of the club's mission statement is to increase the financial literacy of the student body. "We work very closely with our alumni and with the faculty here," Mixon said. Mixon, who is now the club's president, said the main perk of belonging to the Finance Club was the opportunity to network. He said jobs in the finance field were difficult because the University is not a school that the big investment banks normally recruit from. Connections, therefore, are extremely important. Mixon said some of the alumni have even been able to help students find jobs. The Finance Club gives students an advantage in finding internships, which are an essential part of a strong resume. Although most of the club's members are finance, accounting or business majors, Davis said the club had been reaching out to non-traditional business stu- Nathan Davis, Topeka senior and the club's vice president, said he joined the club because it allowed him to meet other students interested in finance and learn about what the field has to offer. "Summer jobs related to finance make you look so much more attractive when you go out there in the job market. That's really the number one benefit we offer," Mixon said. The $20 club dues per semester are well worth it, Davis said. dents. Anyone can join regardless of major. "It definitely pays for itself," Davis said. "We have food and drinks at every meeting and we also host a bunch of social events. We have a lot of fun for $20." "It's considered kind of like Woodstock for capitalists," said Mixon, who has attended for the previous two years. "Warren Buffet and his partner field questions for about six hours." The Finance Club's final meeting is, April 24 at in 427 Summerfield. For more information about the club, send an email to mixon.m@gmail.com. In early May, the Finance Club is taking a trip to the annual Berkshire-Hathaway meeting in Omaha.

The editorial should have said that executive leaders received a sponsorship toward their tuition from the University.

Erin Wolfram, assistant director of career networks for the UCC, said "Backpacks to Briefcases" was a program aimed at educating students about the financial issues they may encounter during their first few years out of college. "Our job at the University Career Center is to prepare students for all facades of career development." Wolfram said. "Part of that involves helping students prepare for jobs and their financial future after they leave KU." "Backpacks to Briefcases" will feature three seminars during the next three weeks. Each seminar will focus on a particular issue regarding personal finance.

Edited by Katherine Loeck WORLD Zimbabwe police arrest 36 in violent strike HARARE, Zimbabwe — Police arrested 36 people for allegedly using violence in trying to enforce a nationwide strike Wednesday, while doctors reported treating dozens of patients showing signs of assault and torture since Zimbabwe's contentious presidential election. The country was still waiting to hear results from a ballot that President Robert Mugabe is widely believed to have lost March 29. The opposition called the strike to press for the release of results, but it seemed to have little affect, with most stores and banks open on the second day. Three dozen young suspects were arrested in the capital, Harare, and four other cities for blocking streets, stoning cars and buses,and preventing people from going to work, police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena said. A judge, meanwhile, acquitted New York Times correspondent Barry Bearak and British reporter Stephen Bevan of covering the election illegally. Magistrate Gloria Takwunda said the state "failed dismally to prove that there was reasonable suspicion of them practicing as journalists." The two men were held by police for days following their arrest April 3. They had been free on bail for more than a week but blocked from leaving the country pending the court ruling. A story on the New York Times' Web site said Bearak had left the country. "His only offense was honest journalism, telling Zimbabwe's story at a time of tormented transition," said Bill Keller, the newspaper's executive editor. The opposition, human rights groups and diplomats accuse Mugabe of orchestrating a campaign of violence against perceived opponents, using police and ruling party militants. Zimbabwe Doctors for Human Rights said it had treated 174 cases of injuries consistent with assault and torture since the vote, including 17 Wednesday. Most victims this week suffered multiple fractures, the group said. Associated Press Each Student Senate committee voted on its new chair and vice chair for next year.

Hannah Love, student body president, said the veto power was important because it maintained checks and balances within Senate. Ethan Zipf-Sigler, law senator, said two-thirds of Senate is required to override a veto already. He said a presidential veto shouldn't be allowed because if one of the bills passes, it would already have enough voters to override the veto. Failed bill allows Senate to receive gifts from Athletics Full Senate failed a bill that would not allow senators to accept gifts from the Athletics Department. Senators cited many instances where people could be members of Senate and also could receive gifts for recognition or for achievement in other organizations. —Brenna Hawley ARMED FORCES Documents implicate interrogators BY LARA JAKES JORDAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Military interrogators assaulted Afghan detainees in 2003, using investigation methods they learned during self-defense training, according to Pentagon documents released Wednesday. Detainees at the Gardez Detention Facility in southeastern Afghanistan reported being made to kneel outside in wet clothing and being kicked and punched in the kidneys, nose and knees if they moved, the documents show. A 2006 Army review of the case concluded that the detainees were not abused but that the incident revealed "misconduct that warrants further action." The documents, which were turned over Wednesday evening to the American Civil Liberties Union. focus on the 2003 death of Afghan detainee Jamal Nasser, who died in U.S. custody at the Gardez facility. The documents detail interrogation techniques used on eight detainees, including Nasser, who were suspected of weapons trafficking. The Army review found that abuse did not cause Nasser's death but concluded he died of a stomach ailment. The documents include interviews with some interrogators who admitted to slapping the detainees — a technique they learned during survival training at the Army's SERE school. SERE stands for Survive, Evade, Resist and Escape. "You say you gave permission for (redacted) to hit detainees during interrogations; did you have a memorandum or order from your higher headquarters authorizing that?" a military criminal investigator asked one of the interrogators in a November 2004 transcript. "No, I did not have a memorandum and had not seen one," the interrogator answered, according to the transcript. "I used tactics that were used in SERE." The investigator continued: "Did you see (redacted) hit detainees during the interviews?" "Yes, open or closed slaps, not punches," the interrogator answered. In another interview that day, according to the documents, the Army investigator asks whether "you ever heard of a tactic of pouring cold water or a water and snow mix on persons captured?" "They do spray cold water on prisoners," the interrogator answered, referring to SERE lessons. That interrogator was unaware, however, of men in his unit pouring cold water over the detainees, as the Afghans later complained. ACLU attorney Amrit Singh said such interrogation techniques are taught at SERE schools only to show soldiers how to withstand them from enemy captors. She called the methods, when used together, a form of torture. "They were intended to be defensive methods, not offensive methods," Singh said.

It's a black and white photograph of a person in motion, likely bowling, in a gym setting. The focus is on the person's dynamic pose with one leg extended forward while holding a bowling ball. The background features a well-lit indoor bowling alley with wooden flooring. There are no visible texts or branding in the image. Mindy Ricketts/KANSA Wright lines up his shot and prepares to bowl, a hobby he picked up at Jaybowl in the Kansas Union. He said he typically bowled about a 200. WRIGHT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) teammates on the plane when he's flying to road games. And the pink Barbie bag? The veterans made him wear it as part of his rookie duties. His bed is unmade, the peach-colored sheets his mom picked out for him in a wrinkled pile. On the wall is a poster featuring NBA All-Stars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. He wants to be an All-Star like them someday. His private bath is dominated by a bathtub/spa below windows that overlook the backyard where he grew oranges last year. Two walk-in closets hold his "shoe shrine" and a stockpipe of clothes, including socks, slacks, Yankees hats and a teal and blue Hornets tie and a red and blue Jayhawks tie. He wears the ties on game days as he listens to music. He has 2,000 songs on his iPod. Wright, who grew up listening to and singing R&B and gospel music, sang Eric Benet's "Want to be Loved" at a Hornets charity function. Someday he hopes to dabble in the music industry, perhaps as a producer. But on this night his biggest concern is watching the Boston Celtics-Houston Rockets game on TV. The Hornets will play the Celtics the following night. He's been looking forward to this game since he got off work the day before. "I got to have my jams," he said. AT WORK It's a Monday, and inside New Orleans Arena the Chicago Bulls warm up at one end and the Hornets at the other. Wright slaps hands with fans at courtside, as he regularly does before games. Pregame music, Pat Benetar "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" blasts from speakers. After the Bulls starters are introduced, the arena lights dim and the court is swallowed by darkness. The Hornets team motto of "Passion, Pride and Purpose" flashes on the video board above mid-court. Four cannons shoot green and blue smoke flares as the Hornets starters Wright isn't one of them. He has started just once this season. After player introductions, Wright walks to mid-court carrying a microphone and a smile. "How you all doing tonight?" he asks the crowd, who cheer in response. He thanks them for their support and encourages them to stick with the team through the playoffs, which begin this weekend. The Hornets are the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. It was the third time Wright was chosen to greet the crowd before a game, which Hornets players often do. He returns to the bench and watches the Bulls jump out to a nine-point lead. The Hornets need a spark, and coach Byron Scott sends Wright into the game. The move pays off. are introduced. After a Bulls miss, he grabs the rebound and fires an outlet pass to Chris Paul, the team's player, who lobs it to Tyson Chandler for a dunk. The next possession, Wright sinks a shot from just inside the three-point line to give the Hornets a 20-18 lead. The Hornets won the game 108-97. "He's always at the bowling alley. That's just his second thing to do after basketball, I think it might be his first, actually." Wright scored 14 points, grabbed four rebounds, made a dunk and hit a three-pointer in 18 minutes of action. Although he's had more playing time lately, for most of the season Wright has been a sellomdown bench player. He averages three points and two rebounds a game. He said going from starting at Kansas to bench duty was an adjustment he wasn't ready for. Scott said Wright made rookie mistakes on the court, but his progress hadn't gone unnoticed. "He's just going to continue to get better because he's hungry and he wants to get better," Scott said. In the locker room after the game, media surround Chris Paul, who scored 37 points and dished out 13 assists and is a candidate for MVP honors. Two lockers down, a few reporters ask Wright about his improved three-point shooting and Paul's performance. Wright's smile, open personality and demeanor have made him a favorite with fans, media and teammates. His high school coach, Roy Condotti, used to call Julian "the Mayor of Flossmoor," because Julian would stop and talk to everyone on his way to class at Homewood-Flossmoor high school. "It was a big difference because it can wear and tear on you off the court," he said. HILTON ARMSTRONG New Orleans Hornets forward Because of injuries to All-Star forward David West and improved play from Wright, coach Scott has put him in the lineup more often. "He'e's always been the kind of kid everybody was drawn to and that remains constant today," Condotti said. Condotti has known Wright since he was in junior high, and they still text message after games. Although Wright averaged only 10 points and six rebounds at KU, his athletic ability and NBA potential had scouts projecting him in the top 10, where a winning lottery ticket awaited him. His father said he wanted Julian to graduate but agreed with his decision to leave, because he would likely be a lottery pick. His high school coach felt the same way. "When they offer you that kind of money, you have to go," Condotti said. Wright missed out on KU's NCAA Championship season this year, but he flew to San Antonio and watched the championship game and was on the podium when the team received the trophy. He even celebrated with them in the locker room afterward. However, Wright said he had no qualms about leaving school early to go pro. "I live life," he said. "You got to make decisions and you can't have regrets." After the media have left the locker room and the cameras and tape recorders are gone, Wright walks down the hall and signs autographs for fans. He signs them for free now, but like for other athletes, someday you'll have to pay to go get it, he said. A few minutes later, he exits through the player's entrance and drives away into the darkness. He has dinner plans with his family that night. The next morning, Wright is up early for practice at the Alario Event Center, the team's practice facility just outside the city in Westwego, La. As a rookie, he has to bring Krispy Kreme doughnuts to every practice. For the final 20 minutes of practice, he plays a half-court game of 5-on-5. Wright said NBA practices were much more difficult than at KU, and he doubted any NBA team practiced as hard as the Hornets. When practice is done, Wright watches teammates shoot jumpers as Chris Paul records a TV promo for his upcoming summer camp. Paul, one of Wright's closest friends on the team, called Julian a great teammate who was just beginning to make his own mark on the team. "I think he's one of the best examples of how hard work pays off" Paul said. Wright, meanwhile, heads to the locker room to shower and change. His work is done for the day. He plays video and arcade games in the player's lounge, then exits out the back to the player's parking lot where his SUV is parked.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 2008 NEWS 5A F Exhausted after practice, Wright takes a brief rest in the driver's seat of his 2008 Nissan Armada. Wright said NBA practices were much more difficult that college practices. AT PLAY WRIGHT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) His freshman year at Kansas, Wright couldn't afford a car. His sophomore year, he got a used 2000 Chrysler Concord. Now he rides in style in his 2008 Nissan Armada, sticker price $40,000. He turns the key and the sound of Michael Jackson's "Beat it" thumps through the speakers. "It's good driving music," he says. The car is littered with fast food remnants—Popeye's and Raising Cane's chicken fingers cups, an empty Gatorade bottle, an energy drink and a Wal-Mart shopping bag. "I'm still a Wal-Mart boy," Wright said. He multitasks as he drives, text messaging and chatting on his two cell phones, sometimes steering with his knees. Wright knows the shortcuts and he's good at making U-turns. On a narrow two-lane bridge he drives right down the middle of the road because it scares him a little. He usually drives 10 mph over the speed limit and admits he's been pulled over a few times and gotten tickets. "I got to learn to just chill out," Wright said. Just after 1 p.m., he wheels into the parking lot at AMF All-Stars, a popular 64-lane bowling alley in Kenner, La., a suburb north of New Orleans. The employee at the desk recognizes him and asks if he needs shoes. Wright doesn't. He's brought his own pair: size 16, tricked out in KU colors, red at the heel, blue in the middle and white at the toe. He walks toward lanes 53 and 54 and exchanges greetings with another employee who knows him. Alone in the back seat is a black leather case that holds his four custom-made bowling balls. When he needs to relax, he still enjoys the hobby that he picked up at the Kansas Union. A woman at a nearby table eating lunch with her family sees him and asks, "Is that Julian Wright?" Fame follows him to other cities as well, he said. Wright has accepted that for the rest of his life, he would likely be a recognizable face, which makes him enjoy the occasions when he's not. "That makes it refreshing," he said. Wright sets his four, 15-pound custom-made bowling balls onto the rack. Black, orange, red and blue swirls wrap around the shiny orbs. Each ball is specifically designed for oily surfaces or dry lanes and different hook and spin. He takes bowling seriously. At the electronic scoring machine he types in his nickname "juju" and prepares to bowl. With his lanky arms and legs swinging into motion, he fires the ball down the lane with speed and power. Bam! A perfect strike. Wright claims a 200 average and can show off when he wants to. When the Hornets ballboy and Wright's teammate Hilton Armstrong arrive, Wright bowls left handed. He even hits strikes bowling between his legs. "He's always at the bowling alley," Armstrong smiles. "That's just his second thing to do after basketball. I think it be his first, actually." When he's not at the bowling alley, Wright hangs out with Armstrong, visits the French Quarter or strolls down Decatur and Bourbon Streets to listen to jazz. Sometimes he'll just go down to the docks to watch the boats come in. MONEY MATTERS As the 13th pick in the NBA Draft last year, Wright was a lottery choice and signed a five-year $10 million contract. This year he is making $1.7 million. That's $20,731 for each of the 82 games in a season. He and his family are set for life and he understands how lucky he is. "I've enjoyed the experience so far. It's been a rocky road, but it's made me a better person." "Julian has an incredibly unique game," Pelinka said. "He is a flatout play-maker on both ends of the floor. He is extremely high-energy, very athletic and really competes on every play." "I'm making a lot more money this time in my life at 20 than most do in their lives," Wright said. Wright has taken steps to be wise with his spending. His mother and a financial advisor help him manage his money and both are on Julian's GIVING BACK His agent, Rob Pelinka, who represents other NBA stars including Kobe Bryant, appreciates Wright's diverse interests and desire to excel on and off the court. He says that he and Wright can have deep conversations about Julian becoming a beast on the court or keep it light when they shoot pool or play pong-pong together. Pelinka won't discuss the potential for Wright's next contract but says the Hornets made a wise investment by signing him. Despite their success on the court—the Hornets have been at the top of the Western Conference nearly all season—the team has struggled with attendance. Questions about the team's long-term future in the hurricane-ravaged city have risen, although team owner George Shinn vowed to stay and help. As a member of the Hornets, Wright is required to be active in team charity work. At the Hornets annual Top Hats and High Tops live auction in March, an autographed Chris Paul All-Star jersey sold for $15,000 and a road trip with the team went for $18,000. But Wright topped those numbers. He and teammate Hilton Armstrong were auctioned off at a bid of $22,000 each to coach two youth basketball clinics. personal payroll JULIAN WRIGHT New Orleans Hornets forward "We are committed to our long-term success in New Orleans and that commitment includes leaving our legacy in the community," Shinn said following the auction that raised more than $163,000 for New Orleans charities. For every home game, Wright and his teammates treat 150 kids to free tickets. Kids get a free T-shirt that has the logo of each player's designated cheering section. Wright's group is called the Juji Slam Jam Crew. Wright participated in the team's Read to Achieve and Hoops for Homes programs this year, but he hopes to give more on his own. He's in the process of creating his own charity foundation, Jay Midi Inc., named after his high school nickname. Wright wants to put a good share of his money into his foundation. His father, Paul Vinson, said Julian's compassion for others didn't come from his mom or his dad. "It comes from God," his father said. "I think Ju is a really great person and basketball is one way for him to utilize that." While Wright has good intentions, he knows he must guard against people who may pose as his friend but really want to exploit him and use him for their own personal gain. Many ask him for small favors, such as pictures and autographs. He said he wasn't hounded as much as other athletes, but sometimes he felt pressured to comply when he didn't want to. Wright said he was not immune to being asked for outrageous gifts, including money favors. "I try to be as giving as possible," he said. "But I have to make sure I'm smart with my money." ON GUARD Wright said the most frequent requests were not for money, but free basketball tickets, which he pays for out of his own pocket. While Wright still keeps in touch with his former KU teammates, he must be careful because even that can cause trouble. NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes from accepting free or reduced-cost tickets to professional sporting events unless they are made available to the school's student body. In January, University of Southern California freshman O.J. Mayo violated NCAA rules by accepting free tickets to a game from Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony, a friend of Mayo. UNFINISHED BUSINESS His immediate plans include winning an NBA Championship this year, then returning to KU this fall via the Internet. He plans to enroll in online courses and work toward finishing his degree in communication studies. He plans to take campus classes in the summer of 2009 and said he was looking forward to being a KU graduate. Brandon Rush could accept tickets from his brother, Kareem, who plays for the Indiana Pacers, but not from Wright, his friend. Wright understands how some may want a personal relationship with him because of his money and thus is wary of romantic relationships. He said he was "happily single" and didn't want a relationship to distract from basketball. Though Wright has a house and a new life in New Orleans, he thinks of Lawrence as home. Wright spent just two years of his life here, but said he might buy a home in Lawrence like other successful KU athletes had. But for now, he's happy and content living life in the Big Easy. "Ive enjoyed the experience so far," he said. "It's been a rocky road, but it's made me a better person." 6 Wright wears size 16 red and blue bowling shoes. He is well-known at the bowling alley he frequents with other teammates. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN SABRIA Wright's custom iPod cover is a picture of a sign that says "Jesus Saves."

We'll be good next year if some key players stay at Kansas. Maybe the Royals will make something out of their early spring momentum and take my mind off of things. Maybe BALCO, founder Victor Conte would announce during a TV timeout that he supplied the Memphis players with a super-steroid, finely tuned for basketball prowess, therefore rendering the Tigers as cheaters and making Kansas the national champions by default. But then, it all unfolded so fast that I couldn't stop to think. My heart was aflutter and mind reeling. All at once, everything raced toward me for the first time in my last semester as a Kansas student. In six weeks, I'll leave this campus and move on to the next stage. I'm typically not a nostalgic person, and I'm ready for the change of pace. But now as I think about it, I'm going to miss the college sports scene a lot. I don't know if there's anything more authentic that the pageantry of college sports. I couldn't imagine going to school where sports weren't a big deal or where I didn't have a chance to kill a rainy day or watch a modestly talented classmate compete against modestly talented competition. I have some friends who go to school at Ivy League institutions and the little Ivies and the Ivies of the central Missouri area. Some of my professors shiver at the thought of Kansas' coaches and their big salaries, and they are irritated by the lack of academic focus consistent with celebration of athletic accomplishment. I have a friend at George Washington University who texts me during every game. He straps himself into the emotional rollercoaster, wholly mocking the Colonials' poor attempts to construct a basketball team that could even qualify for the Atlantic 10 tournament. They're from the Midwest, and they love Kansas basketball. @KANSAN.COM Comment on this and other opinion stories at kansan. com/opinion. This Kansas national title made people feel good. Going to a basketball game this season probably prohibited that final, needed revision of my Romance and Satire paper or truncated my studying for a tough Public Finance exam. I knew that coming in, though. Although I've enjoyed getting a good score on an exam or polishing up a difficult project, neither of those feelings compared to the jubilation that came with watching the Jayhawks win their third national title. I felt so alive that it totally seemed I was living 10 to 12 awake lives at once — I jumped, I screamed, I danced. I could hardly get to all the text messages I received from friends. I have a friend at Duke who, despite the strength of their program, ranks them at a distant second place in his heart. I've loved my time at Kansas. There's as good an education to be found here as anywhere, though you might have to look a little harder for it. Not to mention the dozens of other friends who don't attend KU who traveled to San Antonio to watch coach Bill Self cut down the nets. That Monday night, I finally got to celebrate my success here through another awesome team's success. After the final game, I hugged strangers, high-fived octogenarians and re-enacted a shabby version of the St. Louis Rams' famous "bob-n-weave" celebration dance with a 9-year-old. It felt so good that I don't know if I'll ever recapture that feeling. In a way, I was celebrating myself a little bit. Goble is a Mission Hills senior in English and economics. I'd like to thank the basketball team for their incredible performance in the NCAA Tournament, because the players brought genuine joy to my family, my friends and me.

COMMENTARY Roy Williams rigged championship game DENNIS MERSMANN The Jayhawks are finally NCAA champions. DENNIS MERSMANN Being a life-long Lawrence resident, no one in this town is happier than I am. Maybe the actual basketball team, but for the sake of hyperbole, I'll claim to be happier. The Final Four was rigged, and it was Roy Williams' doing. He intentionally lost to make everyone at the University stop hating him. It was clear that something was amiss even before we ripped the championship from Memphis' claws. But after we beat North Carolina, I knew something was wrong. And yes, I refer to the basketball team as "we." Still, something about the whole ordeal feels a little empty, and I know why. Maybe I'm not on the actual team, but I have been living vicariously through them for more than 20 years. I am a student at KU, and KU students are Jayhawks. Who won the national championship? The Jayhawks. WE won. I am Wilt Chamberlain. I am Jared Haase. I am Mario Chalmers. Don't kill my buzz just because you can't find joy in a sports team you've attached your identity to. Some of us have souls. But I digress. I knew something was askew when we trampled UNC because UNC is not a team that gets trampled. They have multiple NBA first-round draft picks and the best player with the worst nickname, Tyler "Psycho T" Hansbrough (maybe we can change it to "Please, Mr. Aldrich Can I Have the Ball?"). Dark forces were clearly at work. Initially, I was happily stunned by our comfortable victory. That is until the post-game conference. Roy is known for his blearyeyed, end-of-the-season press conferences where he explains how There was Roy with his normal, end-of-season, droopy-dog face. It was the same scene I had grown accustomed to during his 15 years at Kansas, but this time something was missing. His tears. THANK YOU. KANSAS BASKETBALL FOR MAKING HUNDREDS OF MIDDLE-AGED WHITE MEN FEEL LIKE THEY'VE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING. Max Rinkel much he loves his players and how he let them down. Roy is a crier, but on this night he was not. His eyes were dry. Was he not sad about losing this game? No, he wasn't, because he had thrown the game. He was facing his old team. Being the emotional guy that he is, Roy was flooded with memories of coaching here; the good times, the bad, the guilt of not winning a championship here, leaving amid turmoil only to win two years later at UNC. Then there was the media attention of him facing his former employer. Roy started to think that maybe Kansas needs this national championship more than he does. He already has one. It's been 20 years since Kansas won a national championship. During his press conference, Roy said that he had not prepared This was the perfect opportunity for him to heal a community by giving it a cathartic moment. So he threw the game and lost on purpose. the teams as well as he should have My suspicion was confirmed that fateful Monday night when the now infamous shots of Roy sporting a Jayhawk sticker flickered across my television screen. He needed us to beat Memphis for his altruistic move to be completed. That's the key. He intentionally under-prepared his squad. He didn't expect the Jayhawks to jump on UNC like they did early on, but he knew UNC would lose. He made sure of it. Now you may think that he was just there to cheer on the school where he spent 15 years. That sticker represents a conspiracy born in the depths of a guilty heart. Yes, every other living coach that KU has had was in attendance, but Roy is the only one whose team crumbled under the weight of expectation two days earlier.

"Gay U" isn't an uncommon nickname, nor is calling us the "Gayhawks." It's true that KU's queer community is blessed in many different ways, with advocates on the faculty and staff, supportive resources and a surrounding town which is an anomaly in the state of Kansas. A week ago, Queers & Allies hosted its annual Pride Week, a celebration of LGBT culture and the progress made by our movement since the Stonewall riots of 1969. Unarguably, the most visible elements of Pride Week were the rainbow flags hung up and down Jayhawk Boulevard. To many of you, these flags symbolized the accepting environment of our campus. After all, there's a reason we've garnered those nicknames. However, the flags were repeatedly torn down. KU Public Safety caught several of the perpetrators, including the five young men who had enough remorse and courage to write an apology. Sadly, the motivations of others were not so innocuous. Another person carried a ladder through campus in order to cut down our flags. When the police caught him, he stated that he didn't want us "pushing our beliefs" onto him. You also might have seen the tattered remains of flags torn down by people who were fortunate enough to not get caught. It doesn't stop with the flags. It was suggested by one student that we should be lynched next to our flags. Another man raged in his class about the wrongs of the "fag lifestyle." And as usual, Fred Phelps wants us to burn in hell. For these reasons, Queers & Allies is sponsoring for the first time the National Day of Silence, a day of action in which students take a vow of silence in order to bring attention to the name-calling, bullying and harassment (in effect, the silencing) of the queer community and its allies. This year's Day of Silence will take place, April 25. Participants are requested to maintain silence wherever possible (excluding activities such as classes or work). The silence ends at 5 p.m. On Wescoe Beach at 7p.m. Queers & Allies will be hosting a memorial for Lawrence King, a 15-year-old boy murdered because he was "effeminate." For more information, stop by the Queens & Allies table in front of how to submit LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Send letters to the editor by e-mail to kansanopdesk@gmail.com.

This weekend the University of Kansas will celebrate the Elizabeth Sherbon Centennial 100 years after her birth, honoring one of the pioneers of modern dance through student and guest performances, art exhibits and the rededication of the Elizabeth Sherbon Dance Theatre. After graduating from the University in 1930, Sherbon moved to New York City to dance professionally, working along the way with dance luminaries such as Martha Graham and Ted Shaw. In 1961, Sherbon returned to the University to head the dance program, where she taught until her retirement in 1975. She lived in Lawrence until her death in 2000. Janet Hamburg, professor of dance, said Sherbon's contributions were the reason the 50 students currently declared as dance majors had the ability to earn their degrees from the School of Fine Arts. Under her leadership, the department of music and dance began admitting men into a program previously limited to women and grew until her retirement. "She laid the groundwork, the foundation, for one of the most comprehensive dance programs in this region," Hamburg said. Previously, students interested in studying dance, Sherborn included, could only take classes through the School of Education. Sherborn built a curriculum that encouraged the creation of "artist scholars" as well as magnificent dancers, Hamburg said. Her textbook, "On the Count of One," is still used in classrooms across the country. Bill Evans, a world-renowned tap dancer and Sherbon's longtime friend, has returned to the University periodically to teach and perform since Sherbon invited him to teach at a dance camp nearly 40 years ago. "She was truly a pioneer at KU," Evans, a guest artist and choreographer of the centennial, said. "She had to fight to give dance a place of respect and dignity in the University, and she was up to the fight. Along the way she inspired countless numbers of students and young artists with whom she shared her passion and wham she encouraged." Ballet Mary Sheldon, Overland Park freshman, rises above her fellow dancers in a rehearsal Wednesday night at the Lied Center. The dance called the Capriccio is presented in the University Dance Company's "A Tribute to KU Dance Legend Elizabeth Serbon," which is showing April 17 to 18.

Heffner Hayes returned to Lawrence to teach in 2006. She said Sherbon's vision of incorporating every aspect of the world around you into dance remained the goal of the department today. "In her vision of the degree program there was always this idea that as dancers, as artists and as art makers we are an important voice in any culture," Heffner Hayes said. "We are working in response to the world around us and that we have a certain responsibility in that role. It was never this idea that you were in an ivory tower or isolated from the world around you. There has always been a very strong humanities component to this degree program. We are thinkers as well as movers" Edited by Katherine Loeck 》 TRACK AND FIELD Kansas Relays to showcase student, professional athletes BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com Track and Field athletes kicked off the 81st annual Kansas Relays Wednesday in Memorial Stadium. The meet, considered the fourth-largest in the country, will run through Saturday. Milan Donley, meet director said the quality of competition at this year's meet was very high. "The level of competition across the board is better this year at high school and collegiate level." Donley said. He said about 5,000 athletes, including high school and college students and elite performers, were scheduled to compete at the meet. The most popular event at the Athletes from about 150 colleges and universities participate in the Kansas Relays, including four schools from the Big 12. Kansas Relays is the Gold Zone, which features elite track and field athletes. The Gold Zone will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Donley said that about 60 Olympic athletes, including national record-holders and world champions, were scheduled to participate in the Gold Zone this year. Kristen Rash, co-chair of the Student Relays Committee, said that work for the meet began in September. "We started planning in the fall," Rash, Lee's Summit, Mo, senior, said. "Our work really picked up in February when we were funding sponsors." others to go to the meet. Rash said the hardest part in the beginning was lining up promotions and finding volunteers for the meet. She said this year's committee was smaller than in previous years, and now they're focused on spreading the word and encouraging students and "Most students don't know about the Relays unless they competed in it in high school," Rash said. Donley said promotions included a raffle for tickets and a ride in the pace car at an Indy Racing League race at Kansas Speedway. Donley said attendance at the relays dropped last year, but he hoped that fans would come out again this year. "We're hoping to draw a good, strong crowd," Donley said. "Weather looks like it will be fine. It would be a great time for people to come and watch." Admission is free with a KUID, and $10 for the general public. Events will begin around 8 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and will continue through the evening. —Edited by Madeline Hyden How else would you know I'm a KU fan?

RAINS BJRAINS@KANSAN.COM I doubt that I am alone. Many of you probably feel the same way, not knowing what to do now that the football and basketball seasons are officially done for the year. If you're like me, you've probably watched a replay of the championship game several times on ESPN Classic, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. But each time you watch it, the same thing is going to happen. Chalmers' three is going to go in and Kansas is going to win the game in overtime. I realize that football and basketball are the two big sports on campus, but several other sports teams are in the middle of their seasons right now. Instead of flipping on the TV to another edition of PTI or Around the Horn, It was a weird feeling on Saturday morning when I woke up and realized there would not be a college basketball game on TV. After all, I had spent each Saturday for the past four months watching nothing but college basketball. And before that, it was college football games that occupied my attention all day. SEE RAINS ON PAGE 3B BASKETBALL Letter of intent signing puts team over scholarship limit Soir Braden Richards offered? So is Brandon Rush gone for good? It appears that way after junior college guard Tyrone Appleton signed a letter of intent to play for Kansas Wednesday afternoon. Appleton's signing puts the Jayhawks over the NCAA's limit of scholarships, meaning that someone will have to transfer, give up a scholarship or enter the NBA Draft. MAKING THE GRADE Odds are the player who does that will be Rush. Since the beginning of the season, Kansas coach Bill Self has said that Rush would enter the NBA Draft once the year ended. Rush originally entered the NBA Draft after his sophomore season last year, but he withdrew when he tore his ACL in late May. Rush told reporters last week that he hadn't made a decision about his future. Appleton, who committed to Kansas in February, averaged 13.2 points, 5.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season as a sophomore at Midland (Texas) Community College for a team that finished 28-4. Midland won the NJCAA National Championship when Appleton was a freshman. Mark Dent "Tyrone has won big at the junior-college level and certainly has sacrificed individual stats for the betterment of his team." Self said. "We were sold on Tyrone when we first came in contact with him. He's going to be a terrific addition to a young basketball team from a talent standpoint but most importantly from a leadership standpoint." Besides Rush, Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers have expressed interest in the NBA Draft. If they leave, two more scholarships would open up. Kansas could possibly fill up one of those scholarships with JMison Morgan. Morgan originally considered the Jayhawks before signing with Louisiana State. But after LSU fired coach John Brady, Morgan expressed interest in asking out of his letter of intent. Appleton is KU's sixth signee in this year's recruiting class. He joins Travis Releford, Quintrell Thomas, Marcus Morris, Markeiff Morris and Mario Little. It's possible that Appleton won't be the last player to sign with the Jayhawks. Championship report card It's been 20 years since the Phog Allen School of Basketball has seen so many excellent students walk down the Hill. National Champs. All these players passed with flying colors because, well they played for the best team in the country. Here are the individual players' grades, with each player's preseason expectation ranking in parentheses. SUMMA CUM LAUDE BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com A. MUKOYANI Mario Chalmers (4) It would be tough for anyone to argue against Chalmers as valedictorian. After that last shot, he can pretty much ask for anything he wants in the Lawrence or Kansas City area for the rest of his life. Maybe if fans buy him enough drinks and meals, he'll decide to postpone the NBA for another year. Chalmers ended up being the team's second-leading scorer and was the most consistent performer of the season. When Rush and Arthur disappeared for stretches, Chalmers played tight defense and hit important shots. A+ Russell Robinson (5) Every team needs someone like Robinson. He scored against Georgia Tech and Baylor when few others stepped up, acted as a major leader all season and accepted a decreased role in important postseason games when it was obvious the Jayhawks would have more success with Collins in the lineup. The Jayhawks are going to miss not having Robinson and his intangibles around next season more than they think. M. R. KOONEN A Brandon Rush (2) S. BURTON Bill Self, the other players and the fans waited three seasons to see the Rush do something special. He finally did. Rush played the best stretch of his life in March, helping Kansas win the Big 12 and NCAA title. Don't forget that Rush did all this less than a year after he tore his ACL. It was a remarkable comeback for Rush, and he at least belongs on the second tier of all-time great KU basketball players. Think about it. He won a national title and led the team in scoring for three straight seasons. A- A Darnell Jackson (7) Jackson had the best season of his career but could it have been better? A weak finish kept him from finishing at the top of the class with Mario Chalmers. After scoring 17 points or more seven times before Feb.2, Jackson failed to top that mark the rest of the year. PARKER A Rodrick Stewart (11) Stewart did his job for as long as he had to. He filled in for Rush until the end of December, when Rush was finally able to play significant minutes. For those first few games, Stewart wowed the Allen Fieldhouse crowd with dunks, got approval from Self as the team's defensive stopper and found Chalmers open in the last minute for a jump shot in a victory at USC. THE DEAN'S LIST A Sasha Kaun (6) Kaun's performance against Davidson in the Elite Eight is enough to get him a good grade on its own. But that wasn't Kaun's only trick. He had the best season of his inconsistent four-year career for his last go-around. Kaun accepted a role off the bench and averaged 7.1 points a game. His rebounding skills (3.9 per game) still need work though if he wants to make the NBA. If you're almost 7-feet tall, you have to grab more boards than that. + B+ Cole Aldrich (8) That rebound Aldrich ripped away from Tyler Hansbrough in the national semifinal was enough to earn him this grade. As Matt Kleinmann said after that game, Aldrich played like a man that night. He wasn't too bad the rest of the season either. Playing half the minutes of Kaun, Aldrich averaged nearly as many rebounds (3.0 per game). B B+ DONALD DUBOIS Sherron Collins (3) No one captivates the crowd like Collins. He always gets your attention. That's why it was a shame to see such a talented, unique player struggle because of multiple ankle and knee injuries. Those ailments kept Collins from becoming the fast-paced wire-to-wire act most fans expected to watch this season. Give Collins credit for playing through the pain though and getting a key steal and three-pointer in the national title game. B Tyrel Reed (9) S. S. PANDU See Collins, Sherron. A sprained ankle kept Reed from entering the rotation early in the season. By the time he got healthy, Rush was back at full strength, and Reed was playing mop-up minutes the rest of the year. YEAR B Jeremy Case (12) Hmmm, what to say about Case? He's been a mystery for most of his five-year career. The legend goes that he's the best shooter and one of the best players in practice. With several more talented guards ahead of him, Case never got the opportunity to show it during games. Case did play some important minutes in the Sweet 16 victory against Villanova. B- Darrell Arthur (1) B Everybody's heard it by now. Before the season started, Self called Arthur the best player in practice. Players couldn't believe how aggressive he was. Once the games started, that Arthur never showed up. He still averaged 12.8 points a game, good enough for second on the team with Chalmers, but he never developed into the scorer the team expected him to. INCOMPLETES B. Brady Morningstar (10): Two years down, and Morningstar has yet to show what he can do. Self talked about him getting more playing time with Rush out at the beginning of the year, but he obviously lost that battle to Stewart, Reed and Case. Chase Buford- Props to Buford for selecting some delicious restaurants to dine at in San Antonio. WALK-ONS B Case Buford- Props to Buford for selecting some delicious restaurants to dine at in San Antonio. Brad Witherspoon- It was great to see Witherspoon on the court for a second season. Wonder if another student will get the same opportunity Witherspoon had anytime soon? Conner Teahan- If anyone could captivate the crowd like Collins, it was Teahan. He could hardly miss from long range at the beginning of the season. Note to the coaching staff: Find a way to get this kid a scholarship soon. Brennan Bechard- He's the first Lawrence High School player to win a national championship since Danny Manning and Chris Pinkney. Matt Kleinmann - Now that he's a national champion, maybe they should ask Kleinmann, an architecture student, to design the new Allen Fieldhouse when the time comes. COACHES All Self, Joe Dooley, Danny Manning, Kurtis Townsend and strength coach Andrea Day Whenever a reporter asks Self question about coaching, he always uses the word "we." That's how much credit he gives his staff, and this year, Self and the assistants deserve plenty of credit. Manning taught the big men how to post up and shoot better. Townsend's established important recruiting ties. One publication ranked Dooley as the second best assistant in the country at a major college. The players like Hudy so much they devoted their regular season conference-championship-clinching victory to her. And Self? Well, he's practically a legend in Lawrence now. He won the national championship in just his fifth season as coach and captured fans' hearts by beating Roy Williams on the way.

NASCAR Dale Earnhardt Jr. unveils North Carolina bar BY MIKE CRANSTON AP SPORTS WRITER ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. was dressed in his customary jeans, T-shirt and baseball cap and soaking it all in. NASCAR's most popular driver already sells cars and jeans among other products. Now, the iconic driver was standing in front of reporters explaining why the color orange dominates his new bar. The mechanical bull was directly behind him, and the giant dance floor and stage were to his right. Whisky River, which is across the street from Charlotte's downtown arena. For the moment, Earnhardt the brand had moved ahead of Earnhardt the driver. The whispers were there, too. Why would Earnhardt be opening a bar when he hasn't won in 70 races? Belt buckles are part of the western decor of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr's Whisky River Nightclub. The grand opening was held in Charlotte, N.C. Tuesday. Earnhardt's handlers were all around him. Fans had paid several hundred dollars for access to VIP areas during the private grand opening earlier this week of It was probably inevitable Earnhardt would open a bar. There were all those stories of Club E, the homemade bar in his basement as he was breaking into NASCAR's top circuit. When you get to the staircase off the street, a sign reads, "escalator and valet next week." The kitchen isn't operational yet, but the bar has blended Earnhardt's interests of country and rock and roll. It's still a work in progress. One of Earnhardt's close friends, J.R. Rhodes, was once a bartender in Daytona. They had talked about opening a bar for years, and Whisky River became a reality this month. "I think it's a bit of Southern gentleman and a little bit of Carolina country," Earnhardt said. "It just sort of fits the surrounding landscape." Earnhardt had a large role in how the bar looks. He likes the color orange and it dominates the logos on the walls, and there's an orange bench in the VIP room. The bar has a 1,200-square foot stage that can host large acts and Earnhardt hopes it will one day host the Foo Fighters. The dance floor is 1,500 square feet. There are three bars, including city works in his favor. The bar is a few blocks from the NASCAR Hall of Fame that is scheduled to open in 2010. ing a circular one that surrounds the mechanical bull opposite the dance floor. 080794 Learn Your Own Way Learn Your Own Way KU Independent Study Over 150 KU classes are available through distance learning.

Some of you may in fact be as dedicated to the sports teams on campus as White Owl, but most of you have probably never been to a game that wasn't football or basketball. Here are a few other events and sports that are going on right now that you might enjoy taking a little bit of time to go watch: Kansas Relays - The 81st annual Kansas Relays are underway today through Saturday evening at Memorial Stadium and will again feature some of the top track and field athletes in the world. Shot put World Champion Christian Cantwell, 400-meter hurdles World Champion Bershawn 'Batman' Jackson, American record holder Wallace Spearmon Jr., and World Outdoor Champion Muna Lee will all compete on Saturday afternoon. With the Olympics coming up this summer, it would be cool to say you saw some of the same athletes in the Olympics competing in Lawrence. Tennis - What could be better on a beautiful spring day than to head out to the tennis courts behind Robinson and watch some cute girls play tennis? The team has been in and out of the rankings several times this year and has put together some impressive wins. Most of the girls hail from Russia, Hungary and other countries around the world so don't expect to understand what they are velling. Softball - Quitely, the softball team is putting together one of the best seasons in school history. With a 30-11 record going into Wednesday night's games against Missouri, the team has already reached the 30-win plateau with a month still left to play. Junior outfielder Dougie McCaulley is second in the Big 12 Conference with a .402 batting average. The Jayhawks team ERA of 1.97 ranks third in the Big 12. They have made the NCAA tournament in two of the past three seasons and look like they are headed back there again in 2008. And speaking of softball, an effort is under way to start a club softball team on campus. Any female students interested in playing competitive fast pitch softball against other college teams in the area should e-mail rusty02@ ku.edu for more information. — Edited by Katherine Loeck OLYMPICS THE OLYMPIC GAMES OF PAKISTAN ASSOCIATED PRESS Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, second left, and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani hold the Olympic torch during a ceremony in Islamabad, Pakistan, Wednesday. Pakistan's leg of the Olympic torch relay got under way Wednesday for the country's elite as tight security resulted in an invitation-only event. Torch to pass through India Thousands of Tibetan exiles expected to protest BY GAVIN RABINOWITZ ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW DELHI - About 100 Tibetan exiles tried to breach the security cordon Wednesday around the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi, and police dragged away about 50 of them, but not before they managed to spray paint "No Olympics in China" on a nearby street. Many in India's 100,000-member Tibetan exile community, the world's largest, have threatened more of the protests that they've staged nearly every day since demonstrations first broke out in Tibet in March. In recent weeks, Tibetan exiles here have stormed the Chinese Embassy, which is now surrounded by barricades and barbed wire, gone on hunger strikes, and shaved their heads to protest China's crackdown on Tibetan protests. Exiles say the torch run is an opportunity to make their point, despite the fact that the Dalai Lama's support of China hosting the Olympics. Protests are expected to begin early today, hours before the run scheduled for 5 a.m. CDT. Thousands of Tibetans were heading to New Delhi to protest and take part in their own torch run to show the Tibetan struggle against China. Exiles also have urged Indian athletes to boycott the torch relay and asked residents to wear "Free Tibet" T-shirts and fly Tibetan flags. Some exiles have said they plan to make a more dramatic statement, possibly trying to douse or steal the Olympic flame, but activists were sketchy about their plans. PEACE CORPS Tenzin Tsundue, a Tibetan activist with a reputation for publicity stunts, said he didn't want to talk about specific plans in a telephone interview Wednesday because he feared his phone was tapped. "But be at India Gate tomorrow," he said, referring to a monument the torch will pass. Life is calling How far will you go? Activists disrupted torch relays in Paris, London and San Francisco. However, stops in Kazakhstan, Russia, Argentina, Tanzania, Oman Information Session University of Kansas Friday, April 18 7-8:30 p.m. Kansas Union Big 12 Room Public sympathy in India lies with the Tibetans, who have sought refuge in the country since the Dalai Lama fled Tibet after a failed uprising against Beijing in 1959, setting up his government-in-exile in the northern town of Dharmsala. While India needs to bow to popular sentiment and allow some Tibetan protests, it must ensure it does not jeopardize its important relations with China, analysts said. Both countries, with their billion-plus populations, are seeking a greater role on the world stage, spurred by rapidly growing economies. India is still wary of China, whose economic, diplomatic and military clout has recently grown.

Beautiful weather and impressive performances made day one exciting and enjoyable. Two Kansas athletes competed Wednesday in the decathlon and heptathlon. Sophomores Chelsea Helm and Jacob Breth competed in the first half of the events, which conclude today. The two posted solid performances and coach Stanley Redwine was pleased. Redwine said that home meets in track and field were rare, and were valued by Kansas athletes. "For me personally, I'm just happy to be a part of it," he said. "The meet's director is doing a great job in putting it together. We have great fields and we have better universities coming and more competition." "Being at home is good because you have the whole crowd here to pump you up and all your coaches and teammates are here to cheer you on," senior Crystal Manning Manning said that the Jayhawks were off to a great start this outdoor season and have made improvements from the indoor season. Manning will compete in the triple jump, long jump and 4 x 100 meter relay. Last weekend at the John Jacobs Invitational in Norman, Okla., Manning won the long jump with her leap of 6.29 meters and posted the fifth best jump in University history. said. "I think everybody's getting stronger," she said. "We all have more confidence in ourselves and more confidence in our teammates. Everybody's just ready to get out here and step out of their comfort zone." "I honestly believe we have an outdoor team simply because we have certain events like the javelin that are only outdoors," he said. "Outside, I think we are a stronger team." Senior spinner Jarrell Rollins is definitely ready to step out of his comfort zone this weekend. Rollins will compete in the 400- meter dash and is excited to run in front of his home crowd and campus. Rollins is also pleased with the meet's pleasant weather. After nine regionally qualifying times posted by the Jayhawks last weekend in Norman, Rollins said that the team had the momentum they needed to take home a victory this weekend. "I always consider myself as an outside man so I love running outdoors," he said. "It might be tough to run with this wind, but it's not even going to be a factor in my mind." "We just need to keep riding our success through the KU relays all the way to the Big 12 Championship," he said. Rollins credited the Jayhawks outdoor success to the addition of several events that are not offered with the indoor season. The Kansas Relays take place today through Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. Cost is free for students and $10 for adults. Events start at 8:30 this morning and last until 9:20 p.m. —Edited by Madeline Hyden NO, THIS ISN'T A TAKE HOME INTERVIEW! NO, THIS ISN'T A TAKE HOME INTERVIEW!

Although two runs crossed the plate, Hall remained poised and got the next batter to end the inning. Down two runs early, the Jayhawks found themselves with a problem they were not used to: The border showdown is something Kansas fans cannot get enough of. Wednesday night that rivalry was revived at Hoglund Ballpark. No, the Missouri Tigers were not in town, but the Missouri State Bears (22-12) were. The Jayhawk faithful showed up with the nice weather and cheap hotdog price, but the Jayhawks found themselves down early in the game. Much like the nice hot dog prices that ran out before the game got started, the Jayhawks found themselves down early. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Missouri State 0 0 2 3 0 0 1 0 0 Kansas 0 0 0 0 4 1 0 2 X they could not hit. The Jayhawks were blanked over the first four innings and only managed one hit. The Jayhawk bats that scored 11 runs and 13 hits the night before were silenced The wild pitch turned out to be costly, as the by the Bears. A wild pitch from freshman pitcher T.J. Walz scored another in the fourth for the Bears. "That was one of the weirdest games I have ever been a part of." lead surmounting, the Jayhawks finally made some noise in the bottom. After junior Nick Faunce singled, senior right fielder Casey Larson also singled, moving senior left fielder Allman to second The RITCH PRICE Head coach next two batters had RBI singles that brought the score to 5-0 in the top of the fifth.

The game starts at 6 p.m. Friday in Lincoln, Neb. LAWRENCE With the game on the line, junior Paul Smyth took the mound with the hopes of closing the game out. Smyth retired the Bears in order in the ninth and the Jayhawks got a big win. The Jayhawks were not done and capitalized on an error and a fielder's choice to bring the game within one. "I try to approach every at-bat the same way," Allman said. "You have to go up there with the same mind-set and try to execute." "That was one of the weirdest games I have ever been a part of," coach Ritch Price said. The momentum pendulum swung towards the Jayhawks' side, as they held the Bears in the top of the sixth and then strike. In the bottom of the sixth with runners on third and second, Larson came through again with a sacrifice fly that tied the score 5-5. Feeling threatened, the Bears gained the lead back from the Jayhawks. The first batter to the plate in the top of the seventh, Carlson, sent a bomb over the right field wall that looked as if it might hit Oliver Hall. Taking the lead by a run, shortstop Chris Playter singled. Once on first, Player advanced to second on a wild pitch and then stole third. The Bears loaded the bases after the next two batters walked and hit. With the bases loaded, the Jayhawks got the fly ball they needed to escape the inning down one. The game became a see-saw and the Jayhawks and Faunce looked to put an end to it. After a freshman third baseman Tony Thompson single, Faunce hit a shot over the left-field wall that put the Jayhawks up 7-6. The blast was the heroes the Jayhawks needed. "I was just trying to slow the game down and stay on the ball because it was bigtime and I needed a good swing," Faunce said. "I tried to show bunt, hoping he would pipe one. I guess it worked out, he threw me a pitch high and tight and I put a good swing on it."

A lot of the drivers racing Sunday in the last Champ Car World Series event will be back on familiar ground at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. But thanks to a quirk in the schedule, the traditional race through the streets of downtown Long Beach will put them back in the Panoz DP-01 cars most of them raced in 2007. With unification, most of the races on the Champ Car schedule were canceled. However, IRL ASSOCIATED PRESS founder Tony George wanted to keep the Long Beach event active. Since the IndyCar race in Motegi, Japan, on Saturday could not be rescheduled, the solution was to run one more Champ "I want this weekend to be fun and lighthearted so that people remember the Champ Car World Series as it truly was: fun and exciting." Car race with the old equipment and even include the teams and drivers that aren't making the move to the IRL. It's left a lot of the Champ Car veterans with mixed feelings. one hand I am so happy to be back in a race car with the team that led me to success, and on the other, I am a bit sad to say goodbye to the series and cars that made my career here in the U.S. He will be teamed with American open-wheel newcomer E.J. Viso and longtime racing star Roberto Moreno. "However, I want this weekend to be fun and lighthearted so that people remember the Champ Car World Series as it truly was: fun and exciting." "This will be a bittersweet weekend for me," said former Champ Car regular Nelson Philippe, who has no IRL ride but will drive this week for the combined HVM Racing, Minardi USA team. "On NELSON PHILIPPE Former Champ Car regular Viso is coming off a solid fourthplace finish two weeks ago on the street circuit in St. Petersburg, Fla. Moreno doesn't have a full-time ride, but did most of the development work on the DP-01 chassis before it was introduced last year. Moreno, known for years as Champ Car's supersub for his ability to replace an injured driver and keep the car competitive, is looking forward to getting back on track, particularly at Long Beach. Moreno said. "In 1982 it was my first race in the U.S. and I drove an Atlantic car that my team and I rented from across the ocean. We ended up finishing second to Geoff Brabbham in the race. "L o n g Beach holds a special significance for me" "That result eventually led to Rick Galles hiring me and giving me my first opportunity to race full-time in America. It all began at Long Beach." The Brazilian is also looking forward to getting back in the car he spent so much time and effort developing. "Champ Car invested a lot of money to get the DP-01 rolling, and I equally invested as much of my time in the development of it," Moreno said. "I have been out of a car for a while, and it is not easy, but working with a team that you know and who believes in you is very important." The turbocharged Cosworth engines in the Champ Cars will give the drivers a different feel than the normally aspirated Honda engines in the IndyCars. "I think those (Champ Cars) are going to feel like rocket ships after the IRL cars," said Will Power, who finished third in the season points last year. "It's going to be good fun to be back in those cars and it's going to give us a chance to pile up some points that could be really important later on." Power was referring to the fact that points earned in Sunday's race will count toward the IRL championship, as will the points earned by drivers racing in Japan. "I don't know if that is fair or not," IRL regular Tony Kanaan, who will race in Motegi, said at St. Petersburg. "But, really, there is no other way to do it. Those guys have to have some reward for racing in Long Beach. And making the change (to the IRL) isn't easy for them, either." Keith Wiggins, owner of HVM, which is making the switch to IndyCars, finds the situation a bit peculiar, but fun. "Well, it has been an interesting year so far, with the first two IndyCar Series events, and now here we are back wearing our Champ Car shirts for the last time." Wiggins said. "With three cars running (at Long Beach) instead of one (in the IRL), and with two of our previous drivers running with our new one, it's very exciting. "You can never tell what's going to happen in this business. We're greatly looking forward to the last Long Beach for Champ Car, as we always anticipate this event and we're hoping to make it a good one for the last time we run the 750-horsepower cars. We'll also look forward to coming back next year with the (IRL)."

Without the steady and prolific Fine, the Jayhawk coaching staff will have a number of tight end options to choose from this offseason. Sophomore Bradley Dedeaux started the spring game and caught one pass. Dedeaux, a stocky 249-pounder, caught one pass last season. Behind Dedeaux are three freshmen, Nick Plato, Tim Biere and Tanner Hawkinson. Plato arrived at Kansas one semester early and participated in the spring scrimmage. Plato, Hawkinson and Biere are all built to catch passes — each stands taller than 6-foot-4. Spring starter: Bradley Dedeaux Projected fall starter: Bradley Dedeaux defense tackle The Jayhawks took a big hit when AP Second-Team All-America James McClinton graduated after last season. To fill McClinton's shoes, Kansas could look to Richard Johnson Jr., a talented young player cut from a different mold than McClinton. Johnson, a redshirt freshman, is 6-2 and 279 pounds and looks as much like a defensive end as he does a tackle. He showed off strong pass rushing skills in the spring game, and seems to have the inside track on one of the starting spots. Senior Todd Haselhorst started the Spring game at the other tackle spot. Haselhorst got off to a slow start in 2007 because of injuries, but he saw plenty of action late in the season. Prospective backups who could push the first-stringers for playing time include senior Caleb Blakesley and sophomore Jamal Greene. FOOTBALL Spring starters: Richard Johnson, Jr., Todd Haselhorst Projected fall starters: Richard Johnson, Jr., Jamal Greene defense end Kansas has an enviable problem at defensive end: The team might have too many capable players. Because of the depth at the position, the coaches could shuffle players in and out using different schemes and packages. Senior Russell Brorsen and junior Maxwell Onyegbule started the spring game. Brorsen started all of last season, while Onyegbule played in pass-defense packages. Sophomores Jeff Wheeler and Jake Laptad are long, lean, passrushing specialists who proved themselves as capable reserves last season. Senior John Larsson sat out of the spring game because of illness, but could have his foot in the door for playing time after starting all 13 games last season. Spring starters: Russell Brorsen Maxwell Onyegbule The early departure of Anthony Collins for the NFL Draft made a mess of Kansas' 2008 offensive line. With the AP First team All-America Collins out of the picture, the Jayhawks could turn to redshirt freshman Jeff Spikes to protect junior quarterback Todd Reesing, Spikes, who projects as a left tackle, is a near carbon copy of Collins at 6-foot-6 and 314 pounds. Senior Matt Darton, who started one game last season, looks like the favorite to take over for now-graduated Cesar Rodriguez at right tackle. Backups include the capable but undersized sophomore Ian Wolfe and junior college transfer Nathan D'Cunha. offensive tackle Spring starters: Matt Darton, Nathan D'Cunha FS SS OLB1 MLB OLB2 CB2 DE1 DT1 DT2 DE2 CB1 WR3 WR2 LT LG C RG RT TE WR1 QB RB Projected fall starters: Jeff Spikes, Matt Darton 2008-2009 DEPTH CHART Projected fall starters: Russell Brorsen, John Larson At Monday's spring scrimmage this season's team showcased how they'll look on the field.

First dates are a bitch. --- I remember the first date I ever went on. I was a naive high school sophomore, and he was a nervous high school junior. He decided on dinner and a movie. I didn't know enough to suggest something better. Dinner came first. He took me to B.D.'s Mongolian Barbeque (the kind of place where you walk through a buffet of raw meats and other condiments, choose a few random sauces and watch them cook it right in front of you). Trying to be on my best behavior, I chose food that I hoped wouldn't prove too difficult to eat in a lady-like fashion. He, on the other hand, was less concerned with manners and more concerned with eating the most bizarre food he could find. Enter: the squid.The squid itself wasn't the problem, but having our first real conversation include squid tentacles didn't give off the best impression. Next came The Time Machine starring Guy Pearce and Samantha Mumba. Our first problem came with deciding where to sit. He wanted the back row. I joked that I knew what his intentions were and preferred we sit in the middle. So, middle it was. The only conversation we had there was when Samantha Mumba came on screen in a see-through halter top. He leaned over and whispered."You should get a top like that."

By Joe Hunt jhunt@kansan.com Stumped with what to do on a first date? Nervous? You should be. This is your one chance to make a good impression on that special someone you've had your eye on. But don't worry too much, because with this handy guide to picking out an activity for a first date, we've got you covered. The tips you see below were collected from students, an on-air call to a nationally syndicated radio show and the editor of a men's interest Web site. Don't do dinner and a movie Who thought that watching each other chew food and then sitting side-by-side in silence for two hours made for a good date? Well, news flash: It doesn't. Joy Browne, radio host and self-proclaimed Doctor of Love says nerves will be racing during dinner as you both worry about your table manners, and between swallowing there won't be much time to talk and get to know each other. Things won't get any better during the movie, either: "If you talk during the movie, I will strangle you," Browne says. Take the attention off yourself You don't want to be in a situation where you have to carry the evening—where it depends entirely upon the power of your own conversation, says James Bassil, editor-in-chief of www.askmen.com. Try going to a place where you have things to talk about, like a museum or a casual show. "I'd like to go to something like a comedy club, a place where it's easy to break the ice," says Jarrett Simpson, Harrisonville, Mich., graduate student. Try something outdoors When the weather warms up, there will be plenty of opportunities to get some sunshine. Browne recommends going out for a picnic or to off, as you aren't expected to be good at whatever you're doing. Browne says. That's what broke the ice for Ze Wang, Beijing, China, exchange student, on her first date with her boyfriend of four years. "He taught me to eat western foods, where the dishes come one after another, as opposed to Chinese where it's all at one time," she says. "It was really fun." "I think people want to drink to ease tensions a little bit, and it's a great social lubricant. Just don't drink too much." much." James Bassil editor-in-chief, www.askmen.com a sporting event, as long as you both are rooting for the same team. Something like the zoo works, as well." Anywhere you can walk around, be relaxed, be comfortable and hold hands is great," she says. Learn something new together Sharing a new experience takes the pressure Bassil makes sure his readers are aware that going out on a Friday or Saturday adds another level of intensity to the date. Because that's the last thing you want on a first date, he recommends trying Wednesday and Thursday, Try to avoid Friday and Saturday night when people are less likely to be busy or feel like they could be doing something else. Plus, he says you don't want to give off the impression that you never have anything going on over the weekends. Browne agrees."I would say,'Listen, I'd love to do Saturday, but that just won't work for me," she says. Don't spend the entire evening at the bar The bar can be a great place to do a little dancing and have some fun, but make it something you add on to the end of the night rather than the main event. When you do get there, Bassil advises against Above all, you're on a first date to enjoy yourself and get to know the other person.The more comfortable and low-key the setting,the better the chance that will happen."You don't want to do too much on a first date," says Molly Fischer, Silverton, Ore., graduate student."Just try some mini golf or bowling,and then get some coffee afterwards," Fischer says. drinking too much." I think people want to drink to ease tensions a little bit, and it's a great social lubricant," he says. "Just don't drink too much." Keep it casual suggestions If you still can't think of anywhere to go on that first date, here are some ideas of things to do around Lawrence. Keep your date in mind because different places work for different people. Massachusetts Street If it's a nice day, walk around, hold hands and get some ice cream. Then do some window shopping. Bowling This is a good way to break the ice, as long as you aren't an all-pro bowler. Then it just looks Spencer Museum of Art like you're showing off. Also make sure your date won't be grossed out by the bowling shoes. Spencer Museum of Art This gives you an opportunity to walk around together, and the artwork gives you something to talk about.

Who knew that an unexpected pregnancy, the Hindenburg and badminton could be so enjoyable? Well, when The Two Man Gentlemen Band sings about these topics, somehow, they are just that. The vaudevillian act is coming to The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., on April 26. The band promises plenty of sing-alongs about alcohol and free kazoo for everyone. Banjoist and lead kazoo player Andy Bean talks to Joyplay about the Gentlemen's music. What distinguishes you from other musical acts coming through Lawrence? Well, we are America's only impeccably dressed, two-man, kaozo, four-string banjo, stand-up bass, early jazz, vaudevillan band. Why such an emphasis on "Impeccably dressed"? If you dress up for someone, you're telling them that they are important enough to dress up for. We first started wearing well-tailored suits just when we were performing. Now, we've been doing it long enough that these are the only clothes we own. Why such an emphasis on the kazoo? The nice thing about the kazoo is that it has the smallest learning curve of all instruments. We give kazoos out at all our shows.We know that 95 percent of those people will make music.The other 5 percent shouldn't be making music. You provide a gentleman's guide on your Web site, www.two-man-gentlemenband.com. Why have you taken it upon yourselves to blog about etiquette? Sometimes we experience scoundrels out on the road.It's a way to provide basic instructions without being preachy. However,we are the first to admit that we do not always adhere to them. We do become a little bit roguish in the night. Did you take a new direction on your newest album, Heavy Petting? It's more of a party album. We recorded it all live so that it would reflect our live show and the old vaudevillian spirit. Why do you sing about topics of yesteryear, such as the Titanic, the Hindenburg and Stonewall Jackson's amputated arm? Many old topics are deserving of song and a lot of them never received the musical tribute they deserved.We've taken it upon ourselves to provide that. Do your songs ever have relevance to modern events? Sometimes we find a connection. Like in "William Howard Taft," we make fun of the old president. I think that topic carries over to modern day.

Earth Day celebrates the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970, and the concept is re-emerging. Earth Day is next Tuesday (but really it's every day), so here's how to start planning an eco-friendly Earth Day party. 1. Buy local or organic beverages By purchasing locally produced or grown products, you are supporting the local economy and reducing the gas burned for the product to be transported to you. Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts, sells kegs of its locally produced beer, which start at $96 for a full-size (15 gallon) keg of its standard beer. Smaller kegs and different varieties of beer are also available. Honor vodka is produced in Lawrence and available in most liquor stores. Several locally grown and produced wines are also available in many stores. Unfortunately, these are not usually separated out from traditional wines and liquors, so read the label to ALSO CLEVER Ace Frazier, who works at Mass Beverage, 3131 Nieder Rd., says local and organic wines are typically about the same price as their traditional counterparts. You got the booze, but have guests bring their own reusable cups. This reduces the amount of waste generated and cuts back on your party's dependence on foreign oil. You could also provide reusable, recyclable or compostable cups. Compostable cups are corn-based and will naturally biodegrade when in a composting barrel. see where the product was grown. of the Day is iks, it 2. BYOC—Bring Your Own Cup Students spend the majority of their days indoors, so go outside to celebrate. Use available GEOCAMP 3. Get out natural light. If going outside isn't an option, dim the lights inside or condense the party to one area of the house so you need less light. Replace old incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs to save energy. E26 4. Play old games with an environmental twist Whether it's Greenhouse Gas Pong or Presidents And Al Gores, have some fun with your environmental knowledge. Also try Environmental Bullshit ("I have one United States and two international treaties." "Bullshit!"), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report drinking game (drink anytime you read "climate change") or Ring of Fire (that's engulfing the planet). 5. Above all, don't forget the three Rs Remember the point of Earth Day, and don't needlessly buy anything that isn't necessary. If you must buy, try to buy local or organic. It all comes back to reduce, reuse and recycle, even at college parties.

Melville helps everyone from burn victims to those with gunshot wounds as he helps transfer them to a hospital. Upon receiving a call, Melville is excited to go and help someone, but has to try to keep himself from getting scared. He says it's important to keep your cool and take deep breaths. Melville's philosophy is that getting scared leads to frustration and frustration leads to panicking. By staying calm and reassured, he can be of the most help. "The hardest thing is just to remember that you're there to provide care and not to worry about whether the patient is going to live or die," says Melville, Rochester, N.Y. Melville (left) practices giving a shot on a fellow trainee. junior."That's always on your mind, but you've got to stay really positive. You want to provide as much help as possible." Melville began his interest in EMT work as a search and rescue volunteer at the Boy Scouts of America's hilmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, N.M. His work at Philmont and as a volunteer for a fire department helped prepare Melville for working under intense pressure for the past six months as an EMT. He says it's a messy job doing things such as holding gunshot wounds to make sure people don't bleed out. Along with the sheer messiness, EMTs also deal with emotional distress. "In the medical field, the goal is to try not to lose the patient," Melville says. "But eventually it's going to happen. When you get there, the hard part is knowing you did everything you were trained to do, everything you could to help that person. That's where the stress comes in, dealing with understanding that losing someone is not your fault." - Rebekah Scaperlanda THU 17 BITCH & THE EXCICTING CONCLUSION SUZANNA JOHANNES+1,000,000 LIGHT YEARS WWW.ACFOTMUSICAWAL.COM JACKPOT! 943 MASS LAWRENCE KS 785 832 1085 FRI 18 THE JOGGERS RUSTY SCOTT ✩ SAT 19 BREAKBEAT BUDDAH BROUGHT TO YOU BY CICADA RYTHHM ★ SUN 20 CHARLES MCEVY 9PM ELYR LSOON ONCE A PAWN KATLYN TU22 DEADWOOD DERBY RD#3 JOLLY ROVER * THE DACTILS * DEEP THINKERS * GUSE THU 24 LLOYD LIKES MIKE THE FAIRER IST-1950 D.A. *BROODY BUSTER BAND WHISKEY DINNER + A KU BENEFIT FOR UGANDA FRI 25 THE ROSELINE FOURTH OF JULY - ARTHUR DODGE SAT 26 KIOSK BENEFIT W/ VOLUNTEERS FOX & THE FOREST+ LOVE YOU + MORRIS MARS SUN 27 THE CAST PATTERN KNIVES EKCHANGING HANDS TUE 22 DARK MEAT DRUNKEN SAUNA WWW.REPLAYLOUNGE.COM REPLAY LOUNGE 946 MA55 LAWRENCE KS 785.749.7676 THU 17 ARCHETYPE DJ VEX 1 FRI 18 SNAKEBITE THE COPS SAT 19 BLUE LEAVES BENNETT BROS. + EBONY & IVORY ON THE PATIO SUN 20 420 PATIO PARTY!

I'd imagine that most of you think of Marley when you hear the word reggae. It's almost hard not to. Songs like "No Woman, No Cry" "'Redemption Song" and "One Love" (among a plethora of others) helped define an era of intolerance, and still today define a way of life for many. Even if you don't associate reggae with Marley, you probably associate it with a group that is heavily, heavily influenced by him. I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to think of a little-known (well, in the States at least) band from the Canadian province of Ontario—funnily enough, from a college town named Kingston—who call themselves Bedouin Soundclash. But you definitely should from now on. I first heard of Bedouin Soundclash when they went on tour in 2005 with a band I wrote about a few months ago, Streetlight Manifesto. I really wasn't that interested in reggae at the time, and, as it was a skapunk show, I really wasn't interested in hearing reggae right then. But I imagine getting to a Rolling Stones concert and finding out you're going to have to sit through an hour-long 50 Cent concert first—that's how I felt right then. But I sat through it anyway, in large part because if I had gone outside, security probably wouldn't have let me back in (but that's beside the point), and though I wasn't wowed, I found them unique and talented enough to buy an album at the merch stand. And then it sat in my iTunes library for a few years without getting a full listen. A few months ago, while reading through a music blog, I found out that Bedouin Soundclash had a new album, *Street Gospels*, out that reached No.2 on the Canadian charts. Having never met a Canadian with bad music taste (though I really haven't met too many Canadians), I decided to give the album a listen. What I found inside was something I wasn't expecting: reggae music that actually takes the road less traveled. It's definitely reggae in terms of base style, but with a much more modern take. Sure, the requisite guitar twangs are there, but there's a lot more. In the song "Walls Fall Down," my current favorite, Bedouin Soundclash combines a rock style with a faster beat than what's usually heard in reggae and then throws in an awesome reprise that showcases the vocals very well. And the vocals are really one of the best things about Bedouin Soundclash. Singer and guitarist Jay Malinowski—a name that just screams"reggae singer""—has a voice that is at once soft and coarse, capable of keeping perfect pitch at the high notes and masterful tone at the low notes. When you see a photo of Mr. Malinowski after hearing his music, try not to be too surprised—Jay is proof that skinny white guys can sing reggae again as well as Marley. I realize I've never really given ratings to the music I review in this column, and that's a shame, because I'd love to give this album six out of five stars—or something like that. I guess all I can do is strongly recommend that you go out and give *Street Gospels* a few listens and see for yourself that Bedouin Soundclash is bringing reggae into the 21st century with grace and talent.

Then, in one fluid motion, she outstretches her arms and springs skyward. As the line stretches and recoils, Miller keeps her left leg off the line, stabilizing her, until the swaying subsides. Then, placing both feet on the webbing, she begins walking the line. Sometimes she makes it across, other times she falls "It's like yoga for people with ADD." — Charles Weinaug, Lawrence resident Miller, Wichita graduate student, begins this diversion by placing her right foot firmly on a thin flat strip of nylon webbing strung between two trees. Her ankle and the line begin to twitch. She steadies herself, pressing the inside of her left thigh against the line. She short—it's all part of the art of slacklining. What is slacklining? The name is misleading. The line is not in fact, slack. It's actually quite taut. But don't call it a tightrope. Unlike a tightrope, a slackline will stretch even under tension. The dynamic nature of tubular slacklining start There are many variations of how to set up and tension a slackline. Kelsey Miller uses the following equipment: TO - Two lengths of one-inch wide, tubular nylon webbing. One length 50-80 feet; the other; 10-20 feet. how - Four locking carabineers - Two sturdy trees or posts - A strong sense of balance Miller says you can expect to spend about $40 on the equipment. Buy more webbing than you need for the span between your anchor points. Although you may only want a slackline that's 20 feet long, you'll need about 20 more feet to properly operate the system. You can experiment with tying your line taut or somewhat loose to suit your personal preference. If the line is too loose, it will lose many of its dynamic qualities and sag excessively. Make sure that the line is tight enough so it will not touch the ground at any point while you're walking along it. nylon webbing makes for a challenging balancing act. Think of it as a combination of a tightrope and a trampoline. "It's like yoga for people with ADD," says Lawrence resident Charles Weinaug. Weinaug says slacklining requires you to use your whole body while relaxing your mind. He got hooked on slacklining several years ago on a climbing trip with the KU Rock Climbing Club. And it's no coincidence that many climbers are also slackline enthusiasts. The sports complement each other perfectly. They both focus on balance and coordination, says Lindsey Yankey, Leon junior and KU Rock Climbing Club President. For many climbers, slacklining is a way to hone skills when the weather is to poor to climb, or when a rest day is needed. The most difficult element of slacklining—other than actually learning to balance on a bouncing inchwide strip of webbing—is setting up and properly tensioning the line.The most common method of tensioning a slackline requires several carabineers to create a simple pulley system.Learning to tie the knots required to create the tensioning system can be intimidating to beginners. Yankey says the Rock Climbing Club is an excellent place to meet other people interested in slacklining who can teach you how to set up your own slackline. In the process of learning to slackline, expect to get some bumps and bruises. Most often, slacklines are set up 3 or 4 feet above the ground, so the risk of injury is minimal. There are students who take the sport to the next level and set up their lines high above the ground. Last fall, Miller and a group of friends set up a line 20 feet above a creek. They used harnesses secured to A dog is in the foreground, looking at a person standing nearby. The background shows a snowy park with bare trees and buildings. a safety line above them to prevent falling into the water below.Weinaug can jump from the ground onto the line, and occasionally, he says, land a backflip. From beginner to expert, the reasons given for slacklining are similar: It's a relaxing activity that requires participants to focus both mind and body. "It makes me feel grounded," says Carmen Arriaga for beginners - Don't start in the middle of the line. Start at one tips - When mounting, place one foot on the line. Use line. - Go barefoot. If you do wear shoes, make sure the wobble side to side. - Place one foot on the line while using the other - Before buying your own slackline, make friend's can teach you how to set up your own line. - Focusing on a single point in the distance will he - Many beginners find a very taut line to be more to find what works for you.

"It's something that's not the most obvious choice for a meal and something new for people to try," says Erin Birney, Winfield junior and a frequenter of A.B.'s Coffee and Crêpes. The shop offers a variety of crêpes, including breakfast crêpes made with eggs and cheese, lunch crêpes made with a variety of meats and veggies and, of course, dessert crêpes. All crêpes cost about $6. Birney says her favorite crêpe is the Black Forest crêpe, which is made with ham, apples and Brie cheese. OPEN A. B's CREPES Wa-Til 25 Hours Tim 6am until Thu Tasty crêpes of all varieties await you at A.B.'s Coffee and Crêpes. The portions aren't skimpy, either. One recipe is large enough to satisfy even the biggest appetite, so if you want to try a few different kinds, plan on sharing. The shop is small, with two tables and four bar stools, so if there is no room to sit, take your crepes to go. The setting is quite intimate, and the owner, who just goes by A.B., greets the regulars by name. "It's more personal than most places," Binney says. "A.B. makes the crêpes right in front of you, and while he's making the meal you're able to have a conversation with him." However, make sure you say everything you need to before the crêpes are served, because once they are, you'll be too busy eating to have a conversation. - Deepa Sampat THE BULL THE BEST PATIO IN LAWRENCE THURSDAY $4 PITCHERS FRIDAY: $3.00 24OZ CANS MONDAY: $2.50 BIG BEERS TUESDAY: $1 CHEAP CANS WEDNESDAY: $2 CANS SATURDAY: BARTENDER'S SPECIAL 1344 TENNESSEE ST Anchor Down at the Yacht Club College Night DJ @ 10PM WEDNESDAY $5.00 Two Liter Towers $7.50 Three Liter Domestic Towers $3.00 BARCARDI DRINKS $2.00 Blvd Wheats Draws $2.00 Blvd Pale Ale Draws 2 FOR 1 Well Drinks THURSDAY FRIDAY $2.50 Miller Lite Bottles $2.00 Almost Anything [ Wells, Calls & Shots ] 12 04.17.2008 VOL 5 ISS.28 HUILES DE SÉRUM PARFUM DE FLEUR interesting fact: Tylenol and chocolate are both poisonous to cats. -www.pawpathlittermat.com Contact the writer: dsampat@kansan.com Street Kings reviews - Keanu Reeves may want to get off the 'streets' for his next film, as the newly released Street Kings just isn't that blockbuster he's been looking for. Reeves plays officer Tom Ludlow this time around, a regularly drunk and hot-tempered cop. When Ludlow's former partner turns up dead, Ludlow and Captain Jack Wander, played by Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker, go after the killers to find justice. It hurts me to say that this film just didn't live up to my expectations. This was a film I had wanted to see for quite a long time. The problem is that the plot isn't anything new, if you have seen Die Hard, Training Day or any of the Lethal Weapon movies, then you've seen this. Not to mention we've seen Reeves play an alcoholic in previous films, like Hardball. I am not a Keanu Reeves hater.Yes, he's not the best actor in the world, but he has given some okay performances before. This just isn't one of those okay performances. And Forest Whitaker didn't bring anything new to the table—this is a downgrade for him.

By Jessie Fetterling jfetterling@kansan.com No one wants to be broken up with, but sometime it's even worse to be the initiator of the breakup. It's difficult finding ways to break the news to that no longer-special-someone because, whether a breakup occurs in a two-year relationship or in a two-month one, the outcome is usually tear-filled and sometimes even scary. Jessie Rood, Overland Park sophomore, broke up with a guy by bashing in his car windows. She decided to end the relationship when she found out that her boyfriend of seven months was getting involved with another girl. Dan Newland, Carlisle, Pa., freshman, and his short-term girlfriend broke up over the phone. She went out with some friends one night and asked him to come along, but he had homework to do and couldn't join her. A couple of hours into the night, he received a drunken phone call from his girlfriend saying she thought they should break up because she was definitely going to cheat on him that night. Breaking up with someone is neither fun nor easy, whichever side of the breakup you're on. However, there are certain ways to do it without completely destroying the other person. Lissa Coffey, relationship expert and author of What's Your Dosha, Baby?, says that the longer a couple has been together, the more gentle and sensitive the person initiating the breakup needs to be. If you've been in a relationship for more than a year; you definitely want to do it face-to-face and give some kind of explanation. However, if you're only on a couple of dates, it's okay to do it over the phone. "Never break up with someone on a message machine or through e-mail," Coffey says. "A breakup at least warrants a conversation." Ciera Roberts, Horton freshman, got a breakup message on Facebook from her boyfriend of two years. Along with the message, she realized that he had already ended their relationship status." I was pissed, and we didn't talk for at least three months," Roberts says. Brittney Raybern, Lawrence freshman, broke up with her boyfriend in a note. She was planning on giving it to him while she was walking beside him before class. Her friend, who didn't know who her boyfriend was, came up and started talking to the couple, letting it slip that Raybern was going to break up with her boyfriend that day. Embarassed, Raybern handed her boyfriend the piece of paper and walked off after saying, "Sorry, it's all in the note." Coffey advises people to never name-call in a breakup, and to never do what she calls the ABCs: assuming, blaming and complaining. If you place blame on someone, that only makes him or her feel worse about the breakup. "We're all looking for that life-long relationship, because it's part of human nature," Coffey says. But if you don't think your relationship has a future, you'll eventually break up no matter the reason, whether you fight too much, don't feel respected, or you don't feel like you can be yourself around that person. In the end, a breakup usually has more to do with you than the other person because it's based on what you're looking for in a relationship, Coffey says. So, if you're looking for something else and contemplating breaking up with someone, make sure to do it either face-to-face or over the phone. It's a hard thing to do, but it's even harder to read about it in a note or a Facebook message. tips - Be kind and be honest. breakup - Don't make up any stories or come up with excuses. - Use "I" phrases rather than "you" phrases. For example: "I think our relationship has run its course and I'm ready to move on," rather than, "You are a lazy slob." - No name-calling. - No ABCs: assuming, blaming or complaining. 14 04.17.2008 VOL.5 ISS.28 for more information: www.wikihow.com/Break-Up Photo illustration by: Mindy Ricketts 0101102010201020 5 questions contact 讨论 CHRIS DAVIDSON WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PET PEEVE?

Much like CDs, it allowed people to set their own mood or make their own greatest hits of their favorite artists. However, like those who still buy and spin vinyl, there are people who feel that tapes still hold an intimacy that doesn't transcend well onto disc. These people include artists from many different mediums who have come together to share their favorite mix tape experiences in the book Mix Tape The Art of Cassette Culture Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore not only mix tape the art of cassette culture Compact Cassette edited by thurston moore univerus compiles the essays, but writes the introduction, where he talks about his punk rock neighbor, his ghetto blaster and the dozens of concertgoers who would throw their own mixes on stage. From there, the writings get much shorter and the art takes over. Pictures of the actual mix tapes the artists are describing are displayed along with the track list and "album art," which ranges from ransom note to fresh-from-the-record-company quality. The panel of writers includes Ahmet Zappa (Frank's son), Mike Watt (of The Minutemen), music video director Richard Kern and tons of other indie art supermen no one has ever heard of. Their commentaries run anywhere from one sentence to three pages, telling who made the tape, the motions it evokes and all the memories that are tied to it. At first, it may seem like this is just a collection of elitist asses coming together to tell everyone how hip their music selection is. But, on the contrary, many of the track lists feature popular songs by Tony Orlando & Dawn, Madonna and Neil Diamond. The book handles its subject with care and accomplishes its goal of letting other mixers who think of their work as art know they are not alone. The art and themes of the tapes make this more of a coffee table book, something not to read in one sitting, but to be discovered over and over again. And, while smiling at many of the songs and bands you have heard of, you might even become intrigued enough to uncover some new favorites. The book also inspires those who are still mixing, whether it be on a tape, disc or iPod playlist. I think Thurston sums it up best in his introductory, and pretentious, essay: "Trying to control sharing through music is like trying to control an affair of the heart—nothing will stop it." ★★★☆☆ Jared Duncan Candy Girl The life of a stripper is hard. There are the odd fetishes, bad ippers, bruised bodies, drug-addled managers, late hours and bitchy girls. Diablo Cody, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Juno, details her yearlong adventures as a stripper in her 2006 memoir, Candy Girl. Written in a witty, amusing and self-deprecating style—not unlike Juno—Cody's blatant honesty is often hilarious. At several points throughout the book, she offers a Top 10 list (for example Top 10 Worst Stripper Names, Top 10 Best Songs to Strip To) that had me laughing out loud at its frankness and absurdity. Despite the book being one highlight after another, there were the occasional awkward moments.The phrase "too much information" is clearly not part of Cody's vocabulary. Do you want a detailed description of a certain area of her anatomy? You've got it here. The book reads less like a novel and more like a blog. It's always ready with the next gag or shock, and Cody focuses on the stories with the most wallop, with quick transitions A MEMOIR CANDY GIRL A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper DIABLO CODY in between.The blog style makes sense, as Cody first got noticed after a big-time Los Angeles agent googled various inappropriate terms and came across her blog chronicling her stripper tales called The Pussy Ranch. Cody still blogs, in a slightly less personal fashion, at www.mypace.com/diablocody. Candy Girl is a perfect read for those used to skimming MySpace pages and Facebook stalking during lunch breaks. It's intensely personal, insanely funny and, at times, thoroughly uncomfortable.

I crossed my arms to stay warm and to cover up my yellow wristband, a clear indication I was, a misdemeanor offender among the red-wristbanded felons. I kept inching closer to the steel-and-Plexiglas door I had been ushered through, as far away as I could get from the 50 or so other inmates in the open cell block. Growing up in New Orleans, I knew that white skin often denoted wealth and circumstance. I stood out, which was the last thing I wanted as I thought of every stereotype I had seen in movies of prison: showers, shanks and rape. I prayed someone was looking out for me behind the tinted glass tower overlooking the block. My friends had already abandoned me, and I feared a New Orleans prison was the last place I would find a good samaritan. My freshman year at KU, I brought a few friends back home to New Orleans to show them what Mardi Gras was all about. I warned them that fighting and urinating in public were the quickest ways to jail. It's not out of the ordinary to warn tourists of this, because while most everything goes during Mardi Gras, police do not tolerate those two infractions. I showed them around the streets I had watched parades on for years, drinking and socializing with no trouble. Around noon, as we had just begun to ride into our afternoon buzz, a hometown friend of mine got into a verbal argument with a man on the street. The argument escalated into a fight. I couldn't believe that even I am so happy to be your friend. By Jeff Briscoe population, where most inmates were awaiting parole, not bail. ☆ The cell block was an open concrete room about 30 yards long and 20 yards wide. A handful of steel tables and two TVs were surrounded by two levels of cells, each with two bunks and a sink. Most inmates were sitting on the tables watching the two TVs, tuned to the same channel. I continued to stay close to the cell block door and hoped my parents would get the message I had left on the answering machine before someone took any interest in me. I noticed him glance down at my wrist and the yellow band. He had sized me up and knew I was helpless. He stood just a foot away from me and looked from me to the crowd of men watching TV in the open area of the cell block. Then he began to coach me. He told me to not look so scared. It soon hit me that the guards would eventually lock everyone in the cells. I had been hugging the wall trying to remain unnoticed for more than an hour and realized the guards did not assign roommates, so I would have to make a friend. He asked me why I was in jail. I told him, leaving out the detail that I had not actually been the one who hit the cop. He asked me where I was from and if I was scared. I tried to tell him I wasn't too worried, even though I could not have felt more alone. "Go stand by Whitey over there. Don't go more than 6 feet away from him, and you'll be fine, boy. No one's gonna mess with you. Just hang out with Whitey." A short black guy walked up to me near the door not long after I began nervously trying to figure out what I was going to do. He wasn't much taller than I was, but he was stocky, in his 30s probably, and seemed well-acquainted with his surroundings. after I had warned them, my own friends who should have known better were breaking the cardinal rule of Mardi Gras. I tried to pull my friend away from the altercation but didn't have much success. He knocked the man to the ground and vanished into the crowd. Things had settled down for almost an hour and we were enjoying ourselves again when the man my friend had hit showed up, this time with police officers. It turns out he was an off-duty officer himself. He recognized me and, with no questions, had me arrested. Once at the prison, the off-duty officer showed his authority by making sure I didn't just sit in a drunk-tank like most misdemeanor offenders until I was bailed out. He had me transferred to general I was skeptical. The man he indicated as Whitey, the only other white person in the cell block, was a tall guy with dark, greasy hair down to his shoulders and several days stubble on his face. He looked like he hadn't showered in a week and had probably seen healthier days. I looked back at the black man and questioned his intentions. Just before we were locked in cells, he told me, "Go stand by Whitey over there. Don't go more than 6 feet away from him, and you will be fine, boy No one's gonna mess with you. Just hang out with Whitey." He reassured me and told我 I would be fine if I didn't look so frightened. As much as he tried to be calming, I still felt nervous about him. "You sure nothing's going to happen to me? You're not setting me up or anything?" He retorted, with some impatience, "You'll be fine with Whitey. Just don't look so damned scared." Whitey's name was actually Steve. He had been arrested for dealing cocaine, and I gathered he had been in jail for about a year. He asked me a few questions about how old I was and where I was from. I began to calm down with Steve as we mostly stood in silence outside the cell he had been using. The only other inmates who came near us were three men who asked Steve if they could use his cell to smoke crack. Steve didn't object, and I almost laughed at the absurdity of the moment. I walked to Whitey, who was standing outside a cell away from most of the other inmates. I tried to look as invisible as possible walking across the open space of the block. At lockdown, I climbed up to the top bunk and sat with my back in the corner.The sound of the cell doors slamming shut and the eerie darkness had a surreal feeling.I had no help from my parents, from police or my friends, but I felt vague secure. My parents arrived to bail me out sometime around 4 or 5 a.m. My name was called from that As I walked toward the officer at the door, I wanted to yell thanks to the guy who had coached me and helped me out earlier. I thought about how I would surely come out of my mess fine. My family knew plenty of lawyers and judges (That sounds pretentious. Sorry), but that guy who had helped me probably had no one to help him. I wanted to do something for him, but I didn't even know his name. Still, I wanted to convey how much I appreciated his help when no one else had helped me that day. I almost yelled a "Hey, thanks man," when I looked up and saw the guard waiting for me. I didn't want to do anything that would make her change her mind and lock me in for another few hours. same steel and Plexiglas door I had nervously stood by hours before. I remember crawling down from the bunk and telling Steve, who was only now half awake, that he could have the sandwich the guards had given me. In the next moment I remember laughing at how stupid that must have sounded to him. The guy who helped me probably doesn't remember me, but I can't forget his directions:"Just go stand by Whitey." 18 04.17.2008 VOL.5.ISS.28 interesting fact: A cat has more bones than a human being.

Rush, Arthur may not be the only ones who declare intent to go pro BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Brandon Rush sat there in his red polo shirt, leaning back in his chair and smiling as coach Bill Self talked about how the junior guard would soon gain back all the athleticism that had been missing since his ACL injury. All Rush could really do Thursday was All Rush could smile. He's going to the NBA. Finally. After two failed attempts to enter the draft, he's gone for good. Rush, along with sophomore forward Darrell Arthur, declared for the NBA Draft Thursday afternoon. Arthur didn't sign with an agent, leaving open the pos- for sure, but Arthur wants a guarantee that he'll go in the top half of the first round before he makes his final decision. "I'm not holding my breath," Self said. "Nor will our other coaches or players hoping Shady comes back." "We knew going into the season that this day was going to come for these two particular guys." Arthur, who averaged 12.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, will have to perform well in workouts, starting in early June, if he wants to solidify his standing in sibility of a return. Because Rush declared and withdrew last year, he cannot come back to school. "We knew going into the season that this day was going to come with these two particular guys," Self said. "I think they both made decisions on the welfare of them having a career." BILL SELF Kansas coach NBA scouts are projecting Rush to go in the late first round or early second round. Self said Arthur would go in the first round the middle of the first round. He has until June 16 to decide if he wants to return to Kansas. For the first time in his college career, no question marks surround Rush's seemingly endless flirtation with the NBA. He declared as a high school senior then withdrew and joined the layhawks. That first season, the word was that Rush would come to Kansas as a one and done player. With KU's first-round loss to Bradley as the clincher, Rush came back for a second season and then declared for the draft last April. A torn ACL caused him to return. Despite his desire to play in the NBA for the past three years, Rush said he didn't regret his college experience. He led the team in scoring in all three of his seasons, notes How About Mario? Another one of these press conferences could happen for Mario Chalmers. Chalmers, a junior guard, still hasn't decided if he will declare for the NBA Draft or come back for his senior season. Self said Chalmers could go in the first round if he left. "He's got a decision to make as well." Self said. "He's not comfortable yet in coming out publicly with what he wants to do because I don't think in his heart he knows." The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft is April 27. And what about all those seniors? They might make the NBA, too, you know. Self said Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun and Russell Robinson would all like to participate in the Orlando, Fla., predraft camp if they get invited. Kaun and Jackson are projected as late second round picks. An NBA scout said Robinson could make the NBA if he found a team that was the right fit. Self said KU's National Championship would benefit Arthur and Rush's draft stock and also the status of those three seniors. "We've had NBA types tell us that if you win big the pie is big enough for everybody." Self said. 4 won a national championship and made the honor roll twice. Rush, who will sign with an agent soon, averaged 13.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game this season and shot 42 percent from three-point range. NBA teams will certainly like his shooting skills, but Rush might be able to stick out more because of his defense. "It's grown me as a man." Rush said about college. "It's taken care of my responsibilities, taken care of things that needed to be done." "He's an NBA defender right now," Self said. "His length is definitely an asset." After all the questions had been asked, Rush quickly got out of his seat and headed for the exit. Everyone expected Rush to leave Kansas with the same swiftness after his freshman or sophomore season, but he stuck around for three years - years that he'll never forget. "I'm going to always be a proud Jayhawk," he said.

No major injuries were reported and the source of the smoke remained under investigation, authorities said. The crew of Flight 529 from Los Angeles reported a potential landing gear problem 23 minutes before landing, but all appeared normal until "a light gray haze ... not thick smoke" appeared on the flight deck five minutes after touchdown, said Mike Fergus, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman.

BY SAMANTHA FOSTER sfoster@kansan.com For six weeks in 1982, Lawrence became the City of Destruction. Approximately 2,500 Lawrence residents and KU students took the opportunity to work as extras in ABC's made-for-TV movie "The Day After" during the filming, which took place in August and September. The film, a dramatization of the aftermath of a hypothetical nuclear attack on the United States, created an immense sensation. Reporters from Time and Newsweek magazines and USA Today were among the many people who filled Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union on Oct.12, 1983 for the special showing of the finished film. Do You Know KU? The University's faculty and students played roles in the filming. Jack Wright, professor of speech and drama, served as the local casting director. Charles Oldfather, professor emeritus of law and namesake of Oldfather Studios, had a minor speaking part, as did two professors of speech and drama, Chuck Berg and William Kuhlke. Several scenes were shot in and above Allen Fieldhouse (transformed in the film into a makeshift hospital for 1,200 students suffering from fallout exposure after the nuclear explosion in Kansas City), Spencer Art Museum, Memorial Stadium, Spooner Hall and Jayhawk Boulevard. A kuhistory.com article written by John H. McCool contains a quote from KU anthropology professor John Janzen, who said, "The overwhelming feeling I have is the hopelessness of what would follow a real nuclear war. If anybody's around, life as we know it would be gone." An instant controversy was generated by the viewing. Conservative leaders considered the film to be left-wing propaganda geared toward undermining President Reagan's foreign policy at the height of the Cold War, when disarmament was considered an impossible option which would only serve to invite further Soviet aggression. Due to the great amount of media attention and network promotion of "The Day After," an estimated 100 million viewers tuned in to watch when the movie aired nationally on Nov.20,1983—an estimated half of the adult population. However, University protesters against the film were in the minority. Students from the groups Young Americans for Freedom and Maranatha, a college ministry organization, organized rallies during the special showing protesting what they called the films "emotionalism" and burned the Soviet flag. One of the protesters, Matt Thor, told The University Daily Kansan, "You can't fight evil without weapons. If we let the Communists take over, we will be destroying everything that every soldier who ever fought and died in war for America and the Constitution ever fought for ... if we don't defend (America) with our arsenal, that freedom will wither and die." "We saw our community destroyed. We saw civilization annihilated," then-Lawrence Mayor David Longhurst said the evening after the viewing at a candlelight vigil at the Memorial Campanile. "All our nightmares came true. I don't want the film to be a preview of coming attractions." Other members of Lawrence and University communities had more subdued reactions to the film. Despite the initial amount of controversy, the overwhelming amount of attention drawn to the film did not last long. "Aside from bringing more than a million dollars into the local economy," wrote Lawrence Journal-World columnist Chuck Twardy, "the film has earned Lawrence an association with nuclear devastation. The town William Quantrill burned down has become the city ABC blew up." - Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird ODD NEWS Mayor orders calls to give notice of missing cat NORTH ARLINGTON, N.J. — Mayor Peter Massa put out a citywide cat call when his Maine Coon disappeared.

ODD NEWS Only three identical of newly born quadruplets TOWSON, Md. — A mother has given birth to a rare set of quadruplets in which three of the four boys are identical. The boys were born 11 weeks premature in January at Greater Baltimore Medical Center in Towson. The parents plan to introduce themselves and their boys at a news conference Friday. There are fewer than 100 documented cases of "identical triplets plus one" in the United States, hospital officials said. Two embryos were implanted into the mother, and both were fertilized, hospital spokesman Michael Schwartzberg said. One of them split, then split again, creating the identical triplets. The boys were delivered by Caesarian section Jan. 29, their mother's 32nd birthday. Joshua Drew was born first, then Gavin Michael, Cody Benjamin and finally Logan Christopher, the non-identical one, Schwartzberg said. The babies were treated at the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit, Schwartzberg said.

WASHINGTON - About one in every five U.S. troops who have survived Iraq and Afghanistan now suffers from major depression or post-traumatic stress, an independent study said Thursday. It estimated the toll at 300,000 or more. About half of those with mental health problems have sought treatment. Fewer of those with head injuries have seen doctors. "They're helping us to raise the visibility and the attention that's needed by the American public at large," said Schoomaker. "They are making this a national debate." The researchers said 18.5 percent of current and former service members contacted in a recent survey reported symptoms of depression or post-traumatic stress. Nineteen percent — or an estimated 320,000 — may have suffered head injuries, the study calculated. Those range from mild concussions to severe, penetrating head wounds. "There is a major health cri sis facing those men and women who have served our nation in Iraq and Afghanistan," said Terri Tanielian, the project's co-leader and a researcher at Rand. "Unless they receive appropriate and effective care for these mental health conditions, there will be long-term consequences for them and for the nation." The results of the study appear consistent with mental health reports from within the government, though the Defense Department has not released the number of people it has diagnosed or who are being treated for mental problems. The Department of Veterans Affairs said this month that its records show about 120,000 who served in the two wars and are no longer in the military have been diagnosed with mental health problems. Of those, about 60,000 are suffering from post-traumatic stress. Col. Loree Sutton, who heads a Pentagon center on brain injury, said officials have been working to add thousands more mental health professionals to help the others struggling to meet the demands of troops and their families. Across the services, officials are trying to hire over 1,000 additional staff. Also, companies providing health care by contract to the Pentagon have added over 3,000 in the past year, and the U.S. Public Health Service has provided some 200, she said.

A group of six KU students sleep in front of the Martin Luther King Library during spring break in Washington, D.C. The students were spending 48 hours homeless as part of the Homeless Challenge for alternative spring break.

After wandering around Washington, D.C. by foot with only a bologna sandwich to tie them over, the $1.13 that their group of three had collected pan-handling that day certainly wasn't going to be enough to satisfy their hunger. In the end, Hill, a Wichita senior, Campbell, an Olathe junior, and Brittany Wolfe, Kansas City, Kan., junior, settled for a McDonald's double cheeseburger split among the three of them and a night spent sleeping on the streets.

The others opted to end their period of homelessness early. Hill said she felt uneasy about the potential danger initially, but that she never felt scared or threatened during the two days she spent homeless. The most eye-opening part of her experience was the hatred and disgust people exhibited toward her, contrasted by the way fellow homeless people treated her, she said. "People that society had written off were the only people that cared." Hill said about the warmth and caring shown by others living on the street. "Other people wouldn't even give you the time of day." by the severity of their treatment by strangers. He said the aspect of the trip that would stick with him was the realization that money and material possessions weren't necessarily the route to happiness, especially after experiencing the hardships that thousands go through every day with no end in with no end in sight,he said.

For ever more insulation against the near freezing temperatures,the group was forced to forage for newspaper and cardboard in dumpsters and trash receptacles. Other than "Dumpster diving is exactly what you think it would be," Campbell said. "It smells really terrible, and you get really filthy. You just dig until you actually find something." Sarah Rosa, Homeless Challenge Project director, said the program offered Homeless Challenges for students as well as politicians who wanted to know how their policy decisions affected the homeless. She said the program provided a safe environment in which to "You are cold, you are tired and you are hungry.It's absolutely miserable,and we knew we only had to be there for 48 hours."

An Iraqi woman mourns the death of her relative killed in a suicide bomb attack in the town of Albu Mohammed about 150 kilometers (90 miles) north of Baghdad, Thursday. A suicide bomber struck the funeral of two anti-al-Qaida Sunni tribesmen, killing at least 50 people and wounding dozens, police said. BY LEE KEATH ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber struck the funeral of two Sunni tribesmen who joined forces against al-Qaida in Iraq, killing at least 50 people Thursday and reinforcing fears that insurgents are hitting back after American-led crackdowns. The sudden spike in bloodshed this week adds to the other worries now piling up in Iraq: violent rivalries among Shites and persistent cracks in the Iraqi security forces. Violence across the country has declined since seven months ago, including dramatic suicide bombings like Thursday's funeral attack. American officials credit the change to the U.S. troop buildup and the rise of Sunni tribal groups known as Awakening Councils that have turned against al-Qaida-linked militants. A truce called last year by anti-U.S. Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has also helped. But the new bloodhed highlights how fragile those gains are. Thursday's attack happened in the town of Albu Mohammad, about 90 miles north of Baghdad. A suicide bomber dressed in traditional Arab robes passed unsearched by guards into a tent of mourners. The occasion was a funeral for two brothers who belonged to the local Awakening Council and who were killed in an attack a day earlier. The bomber detonated explosives strapped to his body, killing at least 50 people and wounding dozens more, said police in the nearby city of Kirkuk. Baghdad on Thursday. Two council members were gunned down in the Sunni district of Azamiyah. Hours later in the same area, five council members and a civilian were killed by a roadside bomb. And the head of the Awakening Council in the southern Baghdad area of Dora was killed by gunmen who sprayed his "I first heard a thunderous explosion and when I turned my eyes to the tent I saw fire and smoke coming out," said Sheik Omar al-Azawi, an Awakening Council member who arrived at the funeral just before the blast.

The violence came two days after a string of suicide bombings in four cities of northern and central Iraq killed 60 people attacks that U.S. officials ASSOCIATED PRESS Death rates began declining significantly around September 2007 and reached an average low of 20 Iraqis killed per day in January, according to an Associated Press count. But since then, the levels have steadily climbed to an average of 41 reported killed per day last month. There have been other sporadic bursts of dramatic attacks blamed on al-Qaida or other Sunni insurgents in past several months. It is unknown whether this week's violence signals that al-Qaida in Iraq blamed on al-Qaida in Iraq. U. S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. Kevin Bergner said such attacks do not detract from a markedly improved overall situation. "We have said all along that there will be variants in which we will see al-Qaida and other groups seek to reassert themselves," Bergner said Wednesday. The troubles on the Shiite front could be more dangerous. An offensive launched on March 25 in the southern city of Basa by Iraqi forces against Shite militants — particularly from al-Sadr's Mahdi Army — touched off an uprising by Shiite militias across southern Iraq and in Baghdad's Sadr City.

Zimbabwe waits for results Mugabe retains presidential power while Tsvangirai still claims victory [Image of a man in a suit sitting on a chair, raising his hands and smiling broadly. He is surrounded by greenery, including palm trees.] BY DONNA BRYSON ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Protests are fizzling at home, and his efforts to rally the world to the cause of democracy in Zimbabwe are being stymied by fellow Africans. Morgan Tsvangirai — who has been beaten, accused of treason and nearly killed since founding Zimbabwe's main opposition movement in 1999 — wouldn't hazard a guess as to when the crisis over an election he said he won will be resolved. If he knew who could persuade Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe to step down, he said in an interview with The Associated Press, "certainly that person should be contacted immediately." Tsvangirai was relaxed, even able to joke about reports from his homeland Thursday that Mugabe's regime considers him a traitor. But he is a man under considerable pressure. Nearly three weeks have passed since the presidential vote. No official results have been released, and the opposition, which said Tsvangirai won, accused Mugabe of withholding the results to stay in power after a campaign that focused on Zimbabwe's shell-shocked economy. There has been talk of a recount or a runoff. But Mugabe could well simply continue to suppress the results and cling to power. Human rights groups report increasing violence against Tsvangirai's supporters. Zimbabwe Doctors for Human Rights said Tuesday its members had treated more than 150 cases of injuries consistent with assault and torture since the March 29 poll, including a rash of recent ones linked to a crackdown sparked by the opposition's call for a stayaway from work protest. The stay-away call was little heeded, both because few Zimbabweans could afford to miss even a day of work, and because police and militants loyal to Mugabe cracked down. Tsvangirai said the stay-away "may have been an exhausted strategy." But he wasn't home to help his aides plot tactics. He has been traveling outside Zimbabwe for most of the period since the election, and acknowledged his homeland was a dangerous place for him. "There are rogue elements there who might take the law into their own hands," he said. The former trade union leader said diplomacy, not fear, was the main reason he was abroad. He would not say when he would return, saying his priority now is mobilizing international pressure on Mugabe. "We are determined to have democratic change through democratic means," not through violence, Tsvangirai said. HEALTH Current flu season called worst in years; vaccine only 44 percent effective BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — The current flu season has shaped up to be the worst in four years, partly because the vaccine didn't work well against the viruses that made most people sick, health officials said Thursday. This season's vaccine was the worst match since 1997-1998, when the vaccine didn't work at all against the circulating virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The 2007-2008 season started slowly, peaked in mid-February and seemed to be declining, although cases are still being reported, CDC officials said. effective. Based on adult deaths from flu and pneumonia, this season is the worst since 2003-2004 — another time when the vaccine did not include the exact flu strain responsible for most illnesses. Each year, health officials — making essentially an educated guess — formulate a vaccine against three viruses they think will be circulating. They guess well most of the time, and the vaccine is often between 70 and 90 percent But this year, two of the three strains were not good matches and the vaccine was only 44 percent effective, according to a study done in Marshfield, Wis. That seemed to match the experience in other parts of the country. "We've had a pretty heavy season, both adult and pediatric. And there were a good number of cases more than usual — who had received a vaccination," said Dr. Niranjan Bhat, a children's infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The CDC compares flu season by looking at adult deaths from the flu or pneumonia in 122 cities. This year, those deaths peaked at 9 percent of all reported deaths in early March, and remained above an epidemic threshold for 13 consecutive weeks. In 2003-2004, they peaked at more than 10 percent of all deaths, and surpassed the epidemic threshold for nine weeks. "Our season is not quite as high but is lasting a little longer," said Dr. Dan Jernigan, deputy director of the CDC's influenza division. Type B Florida strain, also absent from this year's vaccine, has also been causing illness. Marshfield data showed that the vaccine was completely ineffective against the Type B virus, and was 58 percent effective against the Brisbane virus. been due to Type A H3N2 Brisbane strain, which was not in the vaccine. That strain tends to cause more hospitalizations and deaths, contributing to this season's severity, CDC officials said. Jernigan acknowledged that some people may lose faith in the flu vaccine and skip it next year. But he noted even this year's mismatched vaccine still offered 44 percent protection overall and likely reduced the severity of illness in those who got the flu.

The Labor Department said Thursday that applications for unemployment benefits rose to 372,000, an increase of 17,000 from the previous week. ECONOMY More unemployment furthers recession concerns Separately, the New York-based Conference Board's gauge of future economic activity rose 0.1 percent for March, reversing five months of decline. But the private business group's indicator has shown a 3.3 percent annual rate of decline since March 2007. That's "the kind of result, that whenever we've seen it in the past, the U.S. economy has been heading into a recession," Michael Gregory, senior economist for BMO Nesbitt Burns, a Toronto investment bank. "The recession signal here is clear and unequivocal." The Conference Board index is designed to forecast economic activity in the next three to six months based on 10 economic components, including stock prices, building permits and initial claims for unemployment benefits. Stocks drooped following a rally Wednesday, with the Dow Jones industrial average down 30.78, or 0.24 percent, to 12,588.49, in afternoon trading. The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped 5.41, or 0.40 percent, to 1,359.30, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 18.80, or 0.80 percent, to 2,331.31. The Conference Board said another of its indexes, which measures current economic activity, has also deteriorated in recent months, with weakness becoming more widespread among the components of both. The readings suggest "economic weakness is likely to continue in the near term,"Ken Goldstein, labor economist at the Conference Board, said in a statement accompanying the report.

NATION NATION Lethal injection ruled constitutional by court ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — Many states wasted little time trying to get executions back on track following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding the use of a three-drug lethal cocktail. Almost immediately, Virginia lifted its death penalty moratorium. Mississippi and Oklahoma said they would seek execution dates for convicted murderers, and other states were ready to follow. The ruling Wednesday "should put an end to the de facto moratorium on the death penalty caused by legal challenges to this method of execution," said Kent Scheideger of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, a nonprofit group that supports the death penalty. The nation's high court voted 7-2 Wednesday to reject inmates' challenges to the procedure in Kentucky that use three drugs to sedate, paralyze and kill inmates. Similar methods are used by roughly three dozen states. OLYMPICS Tibetan exiles arrested during protest in Nepal KATMANDU, Nepal — Nepalese police detained more than 500 Tibetan exiles decrying a crackdown in their homeland in a protest near the Chinese Embassy on Thursday, police said. Police officers in blue camouflage uniforms chased down red-robed Buddhist monks and nuns and other Tibetans, struggling with the protesters and dragging them along the ground as they resisted. They were tossed into vans and open trucks and driven to detention centers. ASSOCIATED PRESS This photo shows the entrance to the execution chamber and the lethal injection table at California's San Quentin State Prison. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the U.S. Supreme Court decision to allow lethal injections for death row inmates affirmed California's capital punishment procedure and would allow executions to resume. Police official Sarbendra Khanal said that 505 Tibetans were detained from at least three separate protests near the embassy in an upscale neighborhood. It was so far the largest number of Tibetans detained in Nepal's capital, Katmandu, since the exiles began almost daily protests last month against a Chinese crackdown in Tibet. Spanish officials call for cull of mischievous monkeys WORLD MADRID, Spain — A renegade group of Gibraltar's Barbary apes has annoyed residents so much that authorities announced plans Thursday to kill them. A cluster of 25 Barbary apes — a species of monkey usually weighing about 15-25 pounds — moved to a popular beach-side area some months ago where they have been stealing food, entering rooms through open windows and harassing tourists, officials said. The territory's tourism minister, Ernest Britto, has decided to kill the beach dwelling group, government spokesman Francis Cantos said. "I can confirm that tourism minister Britto has decided to issue a license for a cull," said Cantos. "The decision was not taken lightly. It is a last resort," Britto told the Gibraltar Chronicle newspaper. The newspaper said two monkeys have already been captured and given lethal injections. The pack, part of the territory's population of around 200, invaded a sandy beach area called Catalan Bay where they remained because they were able to rummage for food.The area is popular with tourists and has a luxury hotel. Britto said he determined that the monkeys posed a danger to public health. The animals mainly inhabit the high ground of Gibraltar, a British colony off Spain's southern tip. POLITICS POLITICS Carter asks Hamas to halt violence against Israel CAIRO, Egypt — Jimmy Carter held another meeting with officials from the Islamic militant group Hamas on Thursday, arguing it is necessary to talk to all parties to achieve peace between the Palestinians and Israel. The former U.S. president said he urged Hamas leaders from the Gaza Strip to stop militants from firing rockets into southern Israel. The Cairo meeting came a day after Carter talked with Hamas officials in the West Bank, further angering Israelis when he embraced one of them. Making what he calls a private peace mission, Carter was scheduled to be in Syria on Friday for talks with Hamas' exiled political chief, Khaled Mashaal, and Syrian President Bashar Assad. Carter's meetings with Hamas which Washington lists as a terrorist group, have drawn sharp criticism from Israelis, U.S. officials and some of Carter's fellow Democrats, including presidential candidate Barack Obama. growth while drawing flak for claims of shady practices.

Samsung vows to reform amid corruption charges BUSINESS SEOUL, South Korea — Scandal plagued Samsung Group vowed Thursday to reform the way it does business after its powerful chairman was indicted on criminal charges. Special prosecutors earlier Thursday indicted Chairman Lee Kun-hee on charges of evading 112.8 billion won ($114 million) in taxes and breach of trust, ending a three-month probe prompted by allegations by a former Samsung lawyer. But the prosecutors dismissed the most explosive claim — that Samsung used subsidiary companies to raise a slush fund to bribe influential South Koreans — saying there was no evidence. Besides the top boss, nine other Samsung executives were indicted including the group's vice chairman.

Sheriff arrested in forced prostitution scandal A federal lawsuit filed in October claims Burgess told one drug court participant he would have her sent to prison if she didn't comply with his sexual demands. Among other things, Burgess is accused of having sex with a female drug court participant who was in his custody. The crimes are to have occurred between October 2005 and April 2007. One prisoner alleged she became a jail trusty with more freedom after agreeing to perform a sex act on Burgess, but lost that status when she later refused. The lawsuit, filed by 12 former inmates, alleges the sheriff's employees had them engage in wet T-shirt contests and offered cigarettes to those who would flash their breasts. Attorney Steve Huddleston said that he has not had a chance to review all the allegations against his client, but that "Mr. Burgess is anxious to go to court and clear his name." Burgess also faces two counts each of sexual battery, rape by instrumentation and subornation of perjury, and one count each of engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses, indecent exposure and kidnapping.

THE ADVENTURES OF JESUS AND JOE DIMAGGIO STRIKES Actors Guild assures film production ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The Screen Actors Guild has cut a deal that would let its members work for an independent film company regardless of a future strike against the major studios. The deal with The Film The deal Department guaranteees completion of nine movies that haven't started filming yet. One of them, a romantic comedy called "The Rebound," stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and is scheduled to deal. "Hopefully, they'll work things out and there won't be a strike, but if there is we'll be able to stay in business." begin production Monday in New York City. "Hopefully, they'll work things out and there won't be a strike, but if there is we'll be able to stay in business," Mark Gill, The Film Department's chief executive officer, told The Associated Press on Thursday. The union, which began contract talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Artists on Tuesday, declined to discuss the "We're in negotiations. We're focused on that. We have no further comment," said SAG spokeswoman Pamela Greenwalt. The trade paper Daily Variety said SAG was only offering such deals to independent feature producers. MARK GILL The Film Department CEO "What's thrilling is SAG is willing to keep their members working and allow us to keep making movies and not get caught in a dispute with the big guys," Gill told the AP. "We're the mice running between the elephants' feet and it's good not to get stepped on." Earlier this year, the Writers Guild of America signed several similar deals with independent producers during its three-month strike against the major studios. Contract negotiations between SAG and the producers group are scheduled to run through April 26. The producers then start talks with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists on April 28. It is unclear whether SAG's interim deal with The Film Company will exert any real pressure against the studios. Variety said AMPTP members have been holding off starting projects until after a new deal is set with the guild. SAGs contract with the studios expires June 30. Top SAG officials have indicated they're intent on negotiating a contract that betters the recent deals reached by the writers and directors guilds. Those unions won key victories, including jurisdiction over programs produced for distribution online, and new and better compensation for shows and movies streamed or downloaded online.

Comment online at Kansan.com/ opinion Send letters to the editor to Kansanop desk@gmail. com That's because the city's environmental code allows first-time offenders a full month to clean the mess. After disgruntled neighbors or a wandering city official reports the problem, a courtesy letter is mailed asking the residents to take care of the situation. If nothing has been done in 15 days, another notice is sent telling residents that they will be fined if the problem is not dealt with in another 15 days. Candice Davis of the Oread Neighborhood Association explained that the city's current policy is "totally inadequate" because by the time 30 days is up, wind has usually blown trash out of the offender's yard. She said she no longer bothered reporting problems because of this. Landlords need to check on their properties more often to ensure that their tenants are keeping things tidy. Greg Perry, author of "Managing Rental Properties for Maximum Profit," said that in addition to personally checking on their properties, landlords should have neighboring homeowners contact them if they see any problems because individual landlords can deal with the trash more quickly than the city can. The city's clean-up policy is extremely lax, which sends the message that littering is not a big deal for students who already have no incentives to clean up their rented property. Students are busy, but no one needs 30 days to pick up the cups from Tuesday night's quadruple kegger. —lan Stanford for the editorial board But because renters make up about 85 percent of the student ghetto, the city needs to fill that watchdog function. Lawrence also should follow the Oread Neighborhood Association's suggestion to amend the environmental code by eliminating the initial courtesy letter sent to first-time offenders. That way the first letter will alert offenders that if the problem is not fixed in 15 days, they will be hit with a hefty fine. Both Overland Park and Topeka have a similar policy. A walkthrough of the Oread Neighborhood (the student ghetto) revealed that the majority of renters keep their yards relatively clean, Lawrence officials will discuss a possible change to the environmental code during the city commission meeting, which takes place at 6:35 p.m. on April 29 in City Hall. Students and homeowners alike — especially those living in the Oread Neighborhood — should be there to voice support for a cleaner city. 10 PLEASE DO NOT STEP ON THE FIELD. THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR HOME. Trash lines the yards of multiple houses northeast of campus. The city's environmental code allows residents who receive a complaint about trash on their property 30 days to clean the mess. Lawrence city commissioners will discuss the existing environmental code on April 29. Kevin Grunwald/KANSAN editorials around the nation Gen. David Petraeus spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Senate and House hearings touting again how the president's troop surge has helped to make Iraq a less-violent place. But when pressed, he conceded that the end is not in sight. Iraq withdraw will be left to next president ASSOCIATED PRESS As a result, Petraeus said he is recommending that there be a pause in troop withdrawals once the force reaches about 140,000 this summer. That's down from a peak of 160,000, which was reached months after President Bush announced in early 2007 that a "surge" of additional forces would be sent to Iraq in an attempt to quell the violence there. Particularly troubling was testimony from the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker. He said he did not think that a long-term security agreement currently being discussed with Iraq needed to come back to the Senate for approval. Petraeus' testimony makes clear that a rational plan for ending the U.S. combat role in Iraq won't be coming from this president. That task will be left to one of three people, Sens.

"This ought to wake you up after spring break," said Jennifer Osborn, Lawrence nontraditional student. It's hard to imagine Osborn once wore size 16 sweat pants. "Remember, if you've been coming regularly you should be adding weight. You won't end up looking like one of those muscle men, I promise." Osborn said. Jennifer Osborn became a fitness instructor at the Student Recreation Fitness Center at the beginning of the semester, yet she feels like she hasn't missed a day here. Ten years ago Osborn was an undergraduate at the University of West Alabama. "I went to the lift class two times as a size 16, and I knew it was what I needed. The weight literally started to fall off. It was like 'I'm an idiot, what have I been doing, I should have been doing this the whole time." Osborn said. In the past year, Osborn has lost 60 pounds. She attributed every ounce of her success to the cardio and lift classes. "Just four more reps. I know this is tough. I'm proud of you guys," Osburn said to the panting class. She used the term "guys" loosely since there weren't men the room. "Just Lift' is a choreographed weight routine class with heavy repetitions. A lot of boys can't do it. Am I mean if I say it makes me laugh?" Osborn said. On four different occasions guys have come to the class and left halfway through. However, men aren't the only ones the class intimidates. Osborn said women didn't traditionally attend weight classes because they didn't think it was their thing. Since Osborn has been on the other side, she understands how hard weight lifting can be. "I want them to see that I struggle too. Sometimes I've had to stop and take off some of my weights. The point is to try it," Osborn said. Her fellow fitness instructors feel the same way. Omaha junior Maggie McCormick also teaches "Just Lift" and gets paid to do what she loves. "A lot of people are under the impression that you need rhythm to do the classes, and this year the classes are geared toward newcomers in the sense that you don't have to be a professional dancer," McCormick said. "Anyone can do it." It was this that got Osborn back into aerobics. She feels lucky to have this second chance because a lot of people don't get back to where they want to be. She said that students didn't get out of shape overnight, so they couldn't get in shape overnight either. "You have to get started. Once you start coming I pretty much guarantee that after a month of going to the classes you'll see results. You have to make the changes in your life." Osborn said. She said the first change should be to exercise more and eat less. Osborn's diet advice was straight-forward, much like her class. "The answer is pretty simple. Have a positive attitude. When you're negative you'll do negative things to your body and it will only make you feel worse. It's a vicious cycle." Osborn said. For 55 minutes, the class gives students a chance to not think about tests, papers or relationships. Leawood freshman Melissa Melling is one such student. "The fact that the instructor changed her lifestyle makes me want to go out and lose 60 pounds," Melling said. "Plus, I wouldn't work that hard if I was by myself." Osborn has been through college once and said that anyone could not eat and be skinny. However, she said it took a well-rounded person to be fit. "I see some of these girls come in all lean and tan but they don't have any strength." Osborn said. "I want to show them that 10 years down the line, when they're done with college they're going to want more. They're going to want be strong." —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina Cardio classes Every week there are more than 40 classes ranging from cardio workout to increasing strength and flexibility.

Officials accused of preferential treatment toward company The most senior officer reprimanded by Wynne was Goldfein, who commanded the Air Warfare Center at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., and was responsible for the BY LOLITA C. BALDOR ASSOCIATED PRESS The Defense Department's Inspector General found no criminal conduct, but laid out a trail of communications from Air Force leaders — including from its top officer Gen. Michael Moseley — that eventually influenced the 2005 contract award. "I am deeply disappointed that our high standards were not adhered to in this case," Wynne In response, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne took administrative action against Maj. Gen. Stephen M. Goldfein, who was the commander responsible for the Thunderbirds at the time, as well as two others, and referred action on two additional personnel to their commanders, the service said Thursday. The report did not find that Moseley, Air Force chief of staff, was personally involved in the contract decision. Instead, criticisms focused on numerous friendly emails he exchanged with the eventual winning bidders — communications that may have influenced the decision of the contract team. The report is the latest in a string of problems for Air Force leaders, who have faced questions about the service's handling of nuclear and nuclear-related materials, challenges to a recent $35 billion tanker contract award and anger over their efforts to get more money for the F-22 Raptor. said. "This is not how the Air Force does business, and we are taking steps to ensure this doesn't happen again." He wrote to senior leaders telling them they must be scrupulous in avoiding the appearance of favoring contractors. The report pointed to irregularities in several other contracts awarded by Air Force officials at the Nellis base. Goldfein, now vice director of the Joint Staff, also spoke favorably about the winning company, Strategic Message Solutions, to those on the review team. He declined to comment on the report. The four others cited in the report were members of the team reviewing the bids. They were the top two contracting officers as well as the commander and narrator for the Thunderbirds at the time. They were not identified. "Goldfein's activities displayed a pattern of behavior that gave an advantage to SMS in competing for this contract and so constituted preferential treatment," the report says. Thunderbirds. Goldfein receives the bulk of the criticism, for his efforts to get a vote on the contract by the team reviewing the bids.

LADA Salon & Spa www.ladasalon.com AVEDA Wynne ordered a review of contracting processes and a training program to correct problems raised by the investigation. The investigation began in 2005 with allegations that Moseley and other Air Force officers tried to give the work to Strategic Message Solutions and its president Edward Shipley without going out for bids. Later, after bids were sought, the company was awarded the five-year, $49.9 million contract. Two losing bidders complained that the company had an unfair advantage, including its decision to make retired Gen. Hal M. Hornburg a partner. Shipley and Hornburg were among the people who communicated with Moselev. The Air Force canceled the contract in February 2006 and Wynne directed the Pentagon's inspector general to investigate. Shipley unsuccessfully sued to reinstate the contract. --- SPORTS CLUB SPORTS GET READY FOR BIG WEEKEND THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 3B TENNIS TEAM STRUGGLES IN TEXAS PAGE 3B WWW.KANSAN.COM FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 2008 >> KANSAS RELAYS 124 PAGE1B Throwin'in the wind TENNIS BY DANNY NORDSTROM dnordstrom@kansan.com Hammer throwers Zlata Tarasova and Egor Agafonov are great teammates.

She finished in 9th place with a disappointing 53.33-meter toss. Conditions were rainy and soggy, and several athletes slipped during their throws. "It was the worst competition I've ever had," she said. "Rain is just terrible for me." Zarasova's disappointing finish in the Kansas Relays is one of several so far this outdoor season. She feels the problem mainly stems from her focus on the weight throw as opposed to the hammer. "I've been throwing the weight throw for months and I didn't touch my hammer at all," she said. "I've never done that before. I just need more practice and some better weather." While Tarasova did not compete well, several Jayhawks posted impressive finishes at the relays. and fifth place respectively.

Coach Tracy Bunge said losses were always harder when you lose to a rival. "Any sport that faces Missouri, I think the intensity is a little higher." Bunge said. "The rivalry obviously is there and you always want to take care of business during that game." played extremely well and pitched extremely well," said Bunge. The Jayhawks lost 7-2 in the first game. While Missouri came up with only six hits in the game, the Tigers were efficient and scored seven runs on those six hits. The Jayhawks managed one fewer hit than the Tigers, but they produced only two runs. One of those hits was a home run by freshman right fielder Liz Kocon, accounting for half of the Jayhawks' run support. Junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley had two hits in the game and the only other RBI. Missouri senior pitcher Jen Bruck limited the Jayhawks' chances and presented a tough matchup for the team. Junior outfielder Dougie McCauley misses a hard line drive during a game against Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark in Lawrence. The Jayhawks lost two games against Missouri on the road this week, with scores of 7-2 and 6-5. Bunge said Bruck was a strong second half pitcher, who came on strong near the end of the season. She said Bruck was very hittable early in the season, but the Jayhawks met her on a day when she was in late season form. "Bruck is a big key for them and she The Jayhawks improved their play in the second game of the night, but the result was the same. The team lost in extra innings on a walk-off double, 6-5. Errors hit the team, as they committed three in the game, but they still managed to stay in the ball game. Sophomore first baseman Amanda Jobe did her part to help the Hawks, hitting two home runs and driving in three runs. Kocon had the other two RBI for the team. Pitching was a problem for the Jayhawks in both games. Junior Valerie George struggled in the first game yielding six runs in two and one-third innings. In the second game, sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelka allowed three runs and was pulled from the game before recording an out. Jon Goering/KANSAN Bunge said she was at least pleased with freshman pitcher Allie Clark's performance in relief. She said George's struggles may have been due to her battling sickness, but it was an off day for George. The team will play at Texas A&M on April 19 and 20. Bunge said the team Now the Jayhawks move on to face Texas A&M, which is ranked fourth in the nation. "It will be very mental,very physical," Kocon said. Kocon said that was an off day for the entire team. "It was no one person the team that could've done things better," Kocon said, "it was just the cards didn't go our way." would need to shake off the Missouri losses and play up to the occasion. "We're going to obviously be the underdog. There's nothing to lose," Bunge said. "Our kids just need to go out and play loose and have some fun with the event and go play hard and do what we do." — Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird COMMENTARY Kaun makes the most of college, basketball experience In the classroom, Kaun has been a three-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection majoring in Computer Science. On the court, Kaun evolved into a key reserve for the Jayhawks National Championship run this year. Though he lost his spot in the starting lineup this season, there were two particular performances this past season that put Kaun on the radar of many NBA scouts. When senior center Sasha Kaun walks through the Campanile and down the hill in three weeks, the final chapter of one of Kansas' best student-athletes will come to a close. In the first performance, Admiral James T. Kirk, played by William Shatner in Star BY BRYAN WHEELER BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM Trek II: The Wrath of Kaun, said it best, "Khaaall! Khaaall! Khaaall!" It was in the second half of Kansas' 84-66 victory against DePaul that the wrath of Kaun was unleashed. On the video board at Allen Fieldhouse, the memorable Star Trek clip was played in celebration of the 6-foot-11, 250-pound center from Tomsk, Russia. Kaun, who had been limited to five minutes of play in the first half due to two quick fouls, redeemed himself by scoring 15 points, with five rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes of play. "He got off to a miserable start, but it took some courage to be honest with you," said coach Bill Self of Kaun's turnaround in the post-game press conference. "He felt the weight of the world on his shoulders." Reflecting on these two performances, Kaun may have made a career for himself. This past week, Kaun was invited to tryout for the Russian Olympic basketball squad. If Kaun makes the cut, he will be the first Jayhawk men's basketball player to play in the Olympics since Danny Manning in 1988 and the first ever to play for a country other than America. The same video clip did not play on the video boards of Ford Field in Detroit, but the wrath of Kaun was unleashed once again with an NCAA Regional All-Tournament performance against Davidson. With 13 points and six rebounds, Kaun gave the Jayhawks the edge over the Wildcats and ended Kansas' five-year drought from the Final Four. With the NBA Draft on the horizon this summer, Kaun's name has been tossed into the mix of potential late second round draft picks. Should Kaun get drafted, he could have a long career in "the league." With Kaun's success in the classroom coupled with his performance on the court this season, Kaun is the definition of a student-athlete. His hard work over the past four years is what every coach, teammate and fan could ever ask for in an individual. With this in mind, there would be nothing better than seeing Kaun in the Olympics this summer and in the NBA for seasons to come. Comparing size and athletic ability, Kaun is reminiscent of former-Kansas center Scott Pollard. Pollard has been playing in the NBA for 11 years now and had a 2008 salary of $770,610. Not too shabby. 3 —Edited by Russell Davies 1 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 2008 Sportin' Jayhawks trivia of the day Q: Who holds the single-season record for steals in Kansas City Royals history? kansascityroyals.com fact of the day Through 13 games, current Royal Joey Gathright has stolen seven bases.

ASSOCIATED PRESS OLYMPICS China finds national hero Amid rising tensions, former athlete carries torch BY CARA ANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS SHANGHAI, China — She's been portrayed as the "smiling angel in a wheelchair," just the hero that China needed to rally national pride in the face of the embarrassment suffered over Olympic torch relay protests. Jin Jing, a disabled, little-known fencing athlete, is now a household name here, riding a wave of sympathy and state media publicity after clinging stubbornly to the torch while a Tibet supporter tried to wrestle it away during the Olympic torch relay in Paris on April 7. Ten days later, Jin seems overwhelmed by the publicity and said she still doesn't understand why protesters wanted to take the torch. Until the incident in Paris, she said she had never heard that some Tibetans want independence from China. "I don't pay attention to politics," she said Thursday in her first meeting with foreign reporters, a publicity agent from torch relay sponsor Lenovo Group by her side and whispering to her at least once about the Tibet-related questions. Jin's professed innocence is part of her appeal to Chinese, who have celebrated her ever since photos of her Paris struggle made the rounds online. Disruptions of the torch relay in London, Paris and San Francisco shocked many Chinese, dimming a hoped-for moment of Olympic glory and inciting a fierce, besieged nationalism. China has sought to use the Aug. 8-24 Olympics as a showcase to demonstrate it is an open, modern country. Protesters say China doesn't deserve to host the Olympics because of its human rights record, its harsh rule in Tibet, and its friendly ties with Sudan.

JIN JING Chinese Olympic fencer China's dignity, embodying a national pride hurt by the protests that overwhelmed the torch relay and the criticisms of China's crackdown in Tibet. While the first images of Jin on the Internet seemed to come from onlookers in Paris, state media soon began telling and retelling her story. While Jin is being praised, angrier Chinese have taken to seeking revenge. Users of the Internet, where a virulent nationalism thrives, have targeted those perceived as enemies with "human flesh She joins a list of heroes promoted by the communist government's propaganda authorities, often at times of tension with the outside world. In 2001, after a U.S. surveillance plane collided with a Chinese jet fighter off southern China, the Chinese pilot who died in the crash became a national hero. The Pentagon said the pilot's reckless flying caused the crash.

The forum termed her a "traitor to your country" and gave her name, Chinese identification number and home address in China. A photo posted online this week showed what was said to be a bucket of feces dumped on her parents' doorstep in the port city of Qingdao. The "human flesh search engine" also went after the man who tried to take the torch, mistakenly accusing a 44-year-old Tibetan living in Utah. "I told them, 'You've got the wrong person," said Gendun, a soft-spoken father of two. MLB Brewers defeat Cardinals 5-3 in St. Louis ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Prince Fielder hit his first home run of the season, a two-run drive off Brad Thompson in the 10th inning that gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Fielder, who led the NL with 50 homers last year, needed 54 at-bats to connect for the first time this year. He also tied the score with a bloop RBI double that capped a three-run, eighth-inning rally against Kyle Lohse and two relievers. Milwaukee trailed 3-0 and was in danger of getting swept in the three-game series before the comeback against Lohse, who extended his scoreless streak at home to 19 innings before getting into trouble in the eighth. The Brewers, who had three hits through the first seven innings, tied it when pinch-hitter Hernan Iribarren chased Lohse with an RBI double, Ryan Braun hit a sacrifice fly off Ryan Franklin and Fielder had an opposite-field double against Randy Flores on a ball that barely eluded Skip Schumaker's attempt for a diving catch. Braun, batting .228 coming in, beat out an infield hit starting the 10th against Thompson (1-1), who made his second relief appearance after two starts. Fielder homered to right on a 1-2 pitch. Pinch-hitter Chris Duncan grounded out with two on against Brian Shouse (1-0) for the last out in the ninth. Eric Gagne got into trouble in the 10th when Ryan Ludwick doubled leading off and Yadier Molina walked, but he got his fourth save in six chances when Aaron Miles flied out, Rico Washington struck out and Cesar Izturis fouled out. Ludwick was 4-for-5, his first career four-hit game, and homered in his fourth straight start for the Cardinals, who had won seven in a row at home. Lohse's two-run, bases-loaded single through a drawn-in infield gave the Cardinals a 3-10 lead in the fourth. Cardinals pitchers have seven RBIs, including a homer by Adam Wainwright on Wednesday. --- ) 2 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 2008 SPORTS 3B CLUB SPORTS Kansas faces busy weekend Soccer team hopes to extend tournament record BY JOE PREINER jpreiner@kansan.com The KU Men's Club Soccer team looks to avenge its national title loss to Missouri in the upcoming Chartrand Memorial Tournament this weekend at Kansas State University. The last time the Jayhawks and Tigers met was in the finals of the national tournament, which was held last fall in Florida. The title game ended with Missouri winning in dramatic fashion, outscoring KU in a shootout. The Chartrand Memorial Tournament, the only tournament the Jayhawks participate in during their offseason, will showcase the two rivals in KU's first game Saturday. Team president Nick Allen, Boulder, Colo., junior, said the tournament would be tough, as many of the teams had played well against the Jayhawks in the past. "K-State is really good, but KU Men's Club Soccer Road to a Repeat: — 2 p.m. Saturday vs. Missouri — 8 p.m. Saturday vs. Pittsburg State - 8 a.m. Sunday vs.Friends University - All games are played at - Finals: Sunday, time TBD All games are played at Memorial Stadium and Anneberg Park in Manhattan — Semi-finals: Sunday, time TBD Missouri is definitely the toughest and our biggest rival," Allen said. "We definitely want revenge after our loss to them in the finals at Nationals. It should be a really fun game." The Jayhawks seek to extend their winning record at the tournament. In the 28-year history of the event, KU has taken the title 10 times, more than any other team. The Jayhawks are also the defending champions going into the weekend. Allen said the tournament was always a big deal because all of KU's nearby rivals usually participate. Midfielder Casey Aull, Libertyville, III., senior, agreed with Allen that beating your rivals on their own turf was something to strive for. "As you can imagine, the K-State fans are complete idiots," Aull said. "It's really gratifying to get them to shut up." Aull, who earned All-Tournament Team honors at Nationals last fall, looks to help KU silence all the opposing fans. Edited by Jared Duncan Undefeated Club Baseball team takes on Missouri BY JOE PREINER jpreiner@kansan.com A conference championship is just over the horizon for the undefeated KU Club Baseball team. The team is set to take on a top-ranked Missouri team this weekend in Columbia. KU currently boasts an 8-0 record and is ranked No. 24 by the National Club Baseball Association. KU has dominated the opposition, outscoring its opponents 66-22 during the course of seven games. Despite the undefeated record and astounding offensive production, the Jayhawks are not alone at the top. The team's biggest rival, Missouri, is also having an impressive season. The Tigers have not lost in conference play and share first place with the Jayhawks. The three-game weekend series looks to decide the conference champion and set the pace for the regional tournament. Team captain Kevin Sterk, Oak Lawn, Ill., first year law student, has great expectations for the team. "What we really want is to sweep Mizzou, I mean, they're our rivals," Sterk said. "They've won the conference the last few years. We want to go into Columbia and take all three games from them." If KU is able to pull off a series sweep, it would be one step closer to recording an undefeated season. Sterk said going undefeated into the regional tournament has been a goal for the team from day one. The goal isn't all about pride, the team wants to earn the best seeding it can in the event it makes it to the Club Baseball World Series. That task challenges the Jayhawks, which have one of the smallest rosters in the NCBA with only 18 players. club baseball Weekend Game Times: — Friday: 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. vs. Missouri — Saturday: 9 a.m. vs. Missouri, 5 p.m. vs. Washington University (home game) — Sunday: 10 a.m. vs. Washington University (home game) The KU Men's Club Baseball team plays its home games at ice Field at 27th and Iowa "We have a smaller roster." Sterk said. "We get past that though, we all go out together and it's definitely helped with the success of the team." One player who isn't a stranger to success is freshman pitcher Nolan Mansfield. In 12 innings so far this season, he has recorded 27 strikeouts and has an earned run average of 0.00 per game, which is almost unheard of. Mansfield will start game one against Missouri this weekend in hopes of getting KU off to a winning start. Teammate Jeff Moyer, Overland Park sophomore, is certain Nolan will bring his "A" game for the Missouri series. "He has been a good surprise for the team this year," Moyer said. "He's proved himself in big games already this season, so I think he'll play well. He can pitch and hit, it really helps." The Jayhawks hope to avoid a repeat of a Missouri match up from last season, in which they gave up an 8-0 first inning lead and eventually lost the game. The team said they feel they are deep enough and talented enough this year to avoid any such letdowns. The only aspect of the series the team can't control is the weather. Rain-outs are a concern for the weekend, and rescheduling the series for the end of the season would be difficult. Regional play starts in three weeks, giving the Jayhawks little time for make-up games. The team hopes to get it done in Columbia this weekend.

The Jawhaws take on Nebraska today. NI The Lone Star state has caused plenty of problems for the Kansas tennis team this season. After falling to No. 3 Baylor and No. 73 Texas Tech two weekends ago, the team dropped matches at No. 21 Texas and No. 32 Texas A&M last weekend and fell to 0-4 against the state of Texas. Coach Amy Hall-Holt said the team met when they returned to Lawrence and talked about its need to play more aggressive down the stretch. "We talked about how we need to get more aggressive and step up our game to the level we're competing against, instead of shying away," Hall-Holt said. "I think the girls are responding well and they know they need to step up to another level." With a fifth place finish in the Big 12 still a possibility, the Jayhawks will have a lot at stake when they return to Lawrence to take on No. Julia Sidorova's 22 career conference victories and move into first place all-time. Avdeeva said that with both her current partner, junior Edina Horvath, and her ex-partner, Ksenia Bukina, she never thought about setting any type of record. Kansas hasn't had the easiest schedule this season. When the Jayhawks take the court against the Huskers on Friday, it will mark the $13^{\mathrm{th}}$ time this year the team has competed against a ranked opponent. Hall-Holt believes this season's difficult competition has helped prepare them for this weekend's home finale and the Big 12 Tournament. "We're winning one match at a time, and I didn't count how many matches we won but I guess it was quite a lot." Avdeeva said. "I'm proud to be here and I'm excited about it." 67 Nebraska on Friday and Iowa State on Sunday. "Once we go into Big 12's we will have seen the teams and we'll have a hunger to play them again," Hall-Holt said. "We want the chance to compete and to do some things that we needed to before. We're ready to step forward and not back off this time." Avdeeva, who suffered an ankle injury against Texas Tech, wasn't able to play in last Friday's match against Texas, but was able to return to the lineup against Texas A&M last Sunday. "She's doing well. She is almost back to 100 percent," Hall-Holt said. For senior Elizaveta Avdeveva there is more at stake this weekend than a possible fifth place finish in the conference. Avdeveva's 21 career Big 12 doubles victories are the second most all-time in the school's history. With two victories this weekend, she would surpass Kansas will need Avdeeva and the rest of the Jayhawks at full strength when they face the $67^{\mathrm{th}}$ ranked Huskers on Friday at 2 p.m. in Lawrence. —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons star quarterback, is serving a 23-month sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth after pleading guilty to federal charges related to dogfighting.

He finished with his lowest round in more than two months and cracked 70 for just the third time in his past 13 rounds. This tournament is like a breath of fresh air compared with a pressure-packed week of Masters play, Leonard said. "You come here," Leonard continued, "and you just kind of get embraced by the southern hospitality." Glover pushed to the top with five birdies over an eight-hole stretch. His back-to-back birdies on the 15th and 16th holes tied Leonard and Love. Love admits he may never be 100 percent physically again as time goes on. He's also struggling to maintain his focus instead of "checking out" for several holes a round. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS "I felt like I was playing 14 holes," Love said. "I'm leaving, mentally just leaving, losing touch there for a few holes every once in a while." "I have worked extremely hard this year to get the mind going," he said. "I'm close and it's got to pay off eventually." The familiarity of Harbour Town helped Love stay on track. Success, though, was coming no matter the location, Love says.

Kelsey 16 East 13th 842-5116 Free Initial Consultation hawkchalk THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 2008 SPORTS NBA 7B NBA's first round of 2008 playoffs begin on Saturday Celtics and former Jayhawk Paul Pierce are No.1 in the Eastern Conference, while the Lakers are No.1 in the West EASTERN CONFERENCE WESTERN CONFERENCE No. 1 BOSTON CELTICS (66-16) vs. No. 8 ATLANTA HAWKS (37-45) Season series: Celtics 3-0. They won all three by double digits and didn't even need to play their Big Three in the fourth quarter of the last meeting to do it. Atlanta never reached 90 points in any of the three games. Kevin Garnett averaged 23.7 points and 13.7 rebounds while shooting 62.5 percent from the floor. Storyline: After rolling to the NBA's best record in the largest one-season improvement in NBA history, the Celtics are back in the playoffs against the Hawks, who ended the league's longest postseason drought with their first appearance since 1999. Key Matchup I: Garnett vs. Josh Smith. Garnett, a favorite for Defensive Player of the Year, against a player who should get some votes. Smith was in the league's top 10 in blocks and steals, but lacks Garnett's offensive skills and can get distracted yelling at referees, coaches or teammates. Nothing makes Garnett lose his focus. Key Matchup II: Rajon Rondo vs. Mike Bibby. Here's one advantage for Atlanta. Bibby appeared in 51 postseason games while playing for Sacramento, while Rondo is making his debut in only his second NBA season. But his speed advantage will be tough for Bibby to handle. X-Factor: Marvin Williams. Some Atlanta fans may never forgive the Hawks for taking Williams instead of Chris Paul or Deron Williams with the No. 2 pick in the 2005 draft. But Boston has struggled to defend athletic small forwards this season, so Williams could make an impact. Prediction: Celtics in 4. No. 2 DETROIT PISTONS (59-23) vs. No. 7 PHILADELPHIA 76ERS (40-42) Season series: Tied 2-2 after the 76ers won the last two meetings. Philadelphia averaged 80 points in the first three games before scoring 101 in a victory on April 9, when Richard Hamilton was out and none of Detroit's starters played 30 minutes. Storyline: Picked to finish near the bottom in the East, the 76ers instead turned into one of the league's biggest surprises and made the playoffs for the first time in three years. The key was an 11-4 March that included a one-point win at Detroit. Key matchup I: Chauncey Billups vs. Andre Miller. Miller averaged a career-high 17.1 points as the veteran leader on a young team. The 76ers will need him to be just as good against Billups, a clutch postseason performer who was in double figures in every game this season against Philadelphia. Key matchup II: Hamilton vs. Andre Iguodala. Iguodala couldn't reach a contract extension with the DETROIT 1 PISTONS ASSOCIATED PRESS Chauncey Billups, right, leads the Detroit Pistons into the playoffs. Last season, the Pistons were eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Sixers in the fall, but he will earn a nice deal from them in the offseason after leading them in scoring. He can help his case even more by containing Hamilton, Detroit's three-time All-Star and leading scorer. X-factor: Lou Williams. Only 21 years old, the third-year guard has shown no fear taking the big shot late in games. He brings energy and confidence off the bench and coach Maurice Cheeks loves having him in the game in the fourth. A close game on the road won't rattle him, either. Prediction: Pistons in 5. No. 3 ORLANDO MAGIC (52-30) vs. No. 6 TORONTO RAPTORS (41-41) Season series: Magic, 2-1. Orlando found things to be pretty easy against Toronto on the offensive end, shooting 49 percent from the field and averaging 105.7 points. Chris Bosh scored 40 points in the Raptors' lone victory, but was out with an injury when the Magic clinched the season series with a 102-87 rout on March 4. Storyline: Despite their 52 wins, the Magic are the overlooked team in the East, not considered much of a threat to Boston or Detroit, and this is their first chance to prove otherwise. Series matches two of the NBA's best 3-point shooting teams, but the Raptors will have to find a way to slow All-Star center Dwight Howard. Key matchup I: Rashard Lewis vs. Bosh. The Magic are without a true power forward, using Lewis as an undersized 4, and now they have to face one of the best in the East. Bosh averaged 33 points against Orlando and should put up big numbers in this series. But Lewis creates his own matchup problems with his 3-point shooting and scored 20.7 per game against the Raptors. Key matchup II: Howard vs. Rasho Nesterovic. Nesterovic heads to the postseason after one of the best stretches of his NBA career, averaging 16.3 points on 60 percent shooting in April. Any offense he provides here is a bonus, because his primary role will be to slow Howard, the NBA leader in double-doubles who shot 71 percent against Toronto. X-factor: Jameer Nelson. Wasn't consistent enough with his play during the season, now faces Toronto's excellent point guard tandem of Jose Calderon and T.J.Ford. Season series: Tied 2-2. It's tough to gather much from the regular season, because the teams were never at full strength at the same time. Gilbert Arenas missed all four games, while All-Stars LeBron James and Caron Butler each sat out a loss because of injuries. James averaged 27 points, 10 rebounds and 7.7 assists in the three he played. frontos excellent point guard tandem of Jose Calderon and I.J. Forro Prediction: Magic in 6 No. 4 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (45-37) vs. No. 5 WASHINGTON WIZARDS (43-39) Storyline: Third straight year these teams are meeting in the first round. Cleveland won the previous two, sweeping a Washington team missing Arenas and Butler last year. Key matchup I: James vs. Butler. Butler averaged 23 points in Washington's two wins, but was limited to 10 in the one loss he played in. Anxious for a good performance after missing last year's series with an injury. Whichever of these players survives will be a nightmare for Boston in the second round. Key matchup II: Arenas vs. Daniel Gibson. Gibson had his own injury problems, missing more than a month after the All-Star break with an ankle injury. Either can change the momentum in a game by coming off the bench and getting hot from outside in a hurry, as Gibson did a few times last year during the Cavs' run to the NBA finals. Arenas has gradually been getting his confidence back after a lengthy absence following knee surgery. X-factor: Brendan Haywood. Amid all the injuries around him, the center put together the best season of his career, averaging 10.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in 80 games. Prediction: Wizards in 7. No. 1 LOS ANGELES LAKERS (57-25) vs. No. 8 DENVER NUGGETS (50-32) Season series: Lakers 3-0. All three meetings were in the first half of the season before the Lakers added Pau Gasol. Los Angeles shredded Denver for 118 points per game, only needing 22 per game from Kobe Bryant. Allen Iverson had 51 for Denver in one loss and averaged 32 points, but Carmelo Anthony managed only 20.7. Storyline: A strong finish gave Bryant and the Lakers the No. 1 seed, but they get a dangerous first-round opponent that was only seven victories worse. Bryant (28.3), Iverson (26.4) and Anthony (25.7) ranked 2-3-4 on the NBA's scoring list. Key matchup 1: Bryant vs. Iverson. May not spend much time defending each other, but who cares? Two great scorers from the deep 1996 draft respect each other and both should put on a show. Lakers don't always need Bryant to score, but the Nuggets need points from Iverson. Key matchup II: Gasol vs. Marcus Camby. Andrew Bynum never made it back, so Gasol is forced to remain as the center. That could help the Lakers here, because with all his offensive skills, Camby won't be able to help off him much to go for blocked shots and rebounds. X-factor: J.R. Smith. Had fallen out of favor with coach George Karl by the end of last year's playoffs, but he become a force off the Nuggets' bench now. Averaged 15.7 points after the All-Star break and spreads the defense with his 3-point shooting. Prediction: Lakers in 6. SACRAMENTO 8 No.2 NEW ORLEANS HORNETS (56-26) vs. No.7 DALLAS MAVERICKS (51-31) Season series: Tied 2-2. The Mavericks earned the split to set up this series by beating the Hornets 111-98 on the last night of the season. The teams also split two meetings since Dallas acquired Jason Kidd, with the Hornets winning 104-93 in Kidd's Mavericks debut in the first game after the All-Star break. Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers will face off against Allen Iverson, Carmello Anthony and the Denver Nuggets. Storyline: A year after losing in the first round as the No. 1 seed, the Mavericks are now the dangerous underdog against a New Orleans team with little contested one. dogs against a New Orleans team with little postseason experience. **Key matchup I:** Chris Paul vs. Kidd. Paul had easily been getting the better of this matchup this season, both when Kidd was playing for New Jersey and Dallas, but the veteran collected his 100th career triple-double in the Mavs' victory in the season finale. Kidd struggles against Paul's speed, but always finds other ways to get by. Key matchup II: David West vs. Dirk Nowitzki. West was one of the NBAs most underrated power forwards before making his first All-Star game this season. Can step away from the block to hit from the outside, though not with nearly the range of Nowitzki, who was superb down the stretch after returning from his ankle and leg injuries. X-factor: Brandon Bass. Chance for the former Hornets player to hurt his old team off the bench. He did it Wednesday night, finishing with 13 points and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes. New Orleans doesn't have much size and strength among its reserves. Prediction: Hornets in 7. No. 3 SAN ANTONIO SPURS (56-26) vs. No. 6 PHOENIX SUNS (55-27) **Season series:** Suns 3-1. Phoenix won both games after acquiring Shaquille O'Neal. Tim Duncan was a combined 15-for-40 in those two games, while O'Neal averaged 15 points and 12.5 rebounds. The Suns won twice in San Antonio. Storyline: Second straight year these teams meet in the postseason. Spurs won last year's tense Western Conference semifinal in six games, aided by suspensions to the Suns' Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw in Game 5. Key matchup I: Duncan vs. O'Neal and Stoudemire. Stoudemire was frequently in foul trouble trying to defend Duncan, but now is free of that responsibility with O'Neal there to do it. Duncan, one of the league's top low-post defenders, probably has to take turns defending both. Key matchup II: Manu Ginobli vs. Leandro Barbosa. Ginobli is the best sixth man in the league, and Barbosa, who won last year's award, isn't too far behind. But the Suns can afford an off night from Barbosa, the Spurs have no chance if Ginobli doesn't play well. X-factor: Grant Hill. Sat out the season finale with a groin injury but is expected to be fine by the series opener. Considered signing with the Spurs before opting for the Suns, and now tries to show San Antonio what it missed out on. Prediction: Spurs in 7. No. 4 UTAH JAZZ (54-28) vs. No. 5 HOUSTON ROCKETS (55-27) Season series: Jazz 2-1. They won the season series with a 105-96 victory on Monday.

NBA ROCKETS 0 NUGGETS 3 KeyBan ASSOCIATED PRESS Houston Rockets guard Aaron Brooks, left, looks to move past Denver Nuggets guard Allen Iverson during the fourth quarter of the Nuggets' 111-94 victory in an NBA basketball game in Denver on Sunday, April 13 Playoff picture looks grim for Denver Nuggets The team faces the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round BY ARNIE STAPLETON Associated Press Associated Press DENVER — Allen Iverson wasn't "The Answer" in the shortterm for the Denver Nuggets. He joined them midway through last season, hailed as the savior who would help the Nuggets win a playoff series for the first time since 1994. But trades, suspensions and injuries, including his own severely sprained ankle, precluded the team from developing any chemistry or cohesion, and A.I. was smothered by the San Antonio Spurs, averaging a career-worst 22.8 points in the postseason. Iverson didn't look anything like the wizard who almost single-handedly drove Philadelphia in the playoffs, and the Nuggets were finished in five games for the fourth straight year. Why will it be any different this time around when the eighth-seeded Nuggets face top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers starting Sunday? "I'd be lying if I said it's the same thing if I was playing New Orleans if we were playing L.A. Everybody know how big that stage is." camp and a full season together and he and fellow All-Star Carmelo Anthony have proven that two superstars can indeed succeed side-by-side. Because, Iverson said, he's healthy again, the Nuggets have meshed after spending a training "I think they've learned how to coexist with each other and ALLEN IVERSON Denver Nuggets Guard dominant duo in newcomer Pau Gasol and MVP hopeful Kobe Bryant, who will be matched aplenty with Iverson. "Let's go. This is what it's all about for me. You can't draw it up any better," Iverson said. "People say he's the best basketball player on the planet, so I'm definitely looking forward to the challenge. Especially with me believing that about myself, so let's go." play off each other," Marcus Camby said. "They're Nos. 3 and 4 in the league in scoring, they had a lot of balance out there, and they never let egos get in the way. They're both talented superstars" The Lakers have their own "This is what it's about. If you're scared, get a dog. If you're scared, go to church." The Nuggets certainly aren't shy about having to face Bryant, Gasol, Derek Fisher or Lamar Odom. "I'd be lying if I said it's the same thing if I was playing New Orleans or if we were playing L.A.," Iverson said. "Everybody know how big that stage is. I relish the moment. This is what I play basketball for. This is why I love it so much." Although they're facing the top team in the power-packed Western Conference once again, only seven wins separated the two up-tempo teams in the standings. The Nuggets "The last couple of years we've been unfortunate enough to play against the top team in the Western Conference. Our work was always cut out for us," Camby said. "This year, we're coming in relatively healthy. ... We're a more balanced team, a more together team. We're playing pretty good basketball of late, we're playing great basketball here at home. Hopefully we can steal a few on the road." Kenyon Martin has returned with a vengeance from microfracture surgeries on both knees and he teams with Camby, the reigning NBA defensive player of the year, to provide plenty of muscle inside. Although forward Nene missed most of the season with an assortment of ailments and is still working his way back into shape after testicular cancer surgery, and Chucky Atkins missed most of the year with a sports hernia, for once the Nuggets enter the playoffs relatively healthy. feel it's anybody's series. MARCUS CAMBY Denver Nuggets Forward "I think they've (Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony) learned how to coexist with each other and play off each other." Denver's bench is a lot better than it was a year ago, when Linas Kleiza was lost in the playoff's bright lights and J.R. Smith made so many bone-headed moves that he ended up getting benched. Kleiza has become an offensive force and Smith worked his way out of coach George Karl's doghouse this year and sparked the Nuggets' late-season surge to their first 50-win season in two decades. Karl even nixed any notion of trading for Ron Artest at the deadline in part because he didn't want to stunt Smith's progress. And Eduardo Najera has added a 3-point prowess to his energy game. "J.R., L.K. and Eddie have been great for us in this stretch of games, the survivor games," Karl said. "Now when we're on the Broadway, they're going to have to step up further." The Nuggets are thankful they're not facing the Spurs in the first round again. >> COLLEGE FOOTBALL BY BEN EVANS ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Forget government corruption or corporate fraud. Three members of Congress want the Justice Department to investigate whether college football's Bowl Championship Series is an illegal enterprise. The measure also would put Congress on record as supporting a college football playoff. "Who elected these NCAA people? Who are they to decide who competes for the championship?" Abercrombie said at a press conference Thursday on Capitol Hill, gripping a souvenir University of Hawaii football. Reps. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., and Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, are introducing a resolution rejecting' the oft-criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade because only the largest universities compete in most of the major bowl games. The resolution would require Justice's antitrust division to investigate whether the system violates federal law. Abercrombie said the matter is worthy of federal review because college football is big business with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. "it's money. That's what this is all about," he said. But it's no coincidence that all three lawmakers have home-state schools with recent beefs against the bowl system. The University of Hawaii and Boise State University in Idaho each had an undefeated season in recent years, but were denied a shot at the championship. And Westmoreland said he is still smarting about his University of Georgia Bulldogs being passed over for the national championship game last year. Georgia instead was matched up against undefeated Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl, winning 41-10. Westmoreland and Abercrombie said they started talking about the resolution after that game, as Abercrombie was paying off a bet with chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. Abercrombie maintained that television markets are one factor in selecting which teams go to high-profile bowls. The lawmakers say the bowl system is rigid and blocks all but the largest universities from competing in post-season bowls, denying dozens of others not just the opportunity to compete but also a shot at the big payoffs and national exposure that come with bowl appearances. "We shouldn't have to argue about who the champion is," Westmoreland said, citing the excitement and unpredictability of the NCAA college basketball tournament. "That should be decided on the field." The BCS was created in 1998 by the six most powerful conferences. It relies on polls and computer ratings to determine which teams qualify for the top bowls. Congress held a hearing on the BCS in 2005, but no legislation came of it. In a statement, ACC Commissioner and current BCS Administrator John Swofford said the BCS allows all qualified teams to participate and is beneficial for student athletes, universities and fans. "This issue has been looked at before," Swofford said. "We're confident that it complies with the law." BY MARK LONG ASSOCIATED PRESS Ochoa has impressive start at Ginn Open Playing for the fourth straight week, Ochoa shot a 4-under 68 in the first round of the Ginn Open to finish a stroke behind leaders Carin Koch and Teresa Lu. REUNION, Fla. — Lorena Ochoa got off to a solid start Thursday in a bid for her fourth consecutive victory and fifth in six starts this year. Ochoa had plenty of company there, too. Karrie Webb, Suzann Pettersen, Charlotte Mayorkas, Mhairi McKay, Allison Fouch and Yani Tseng also were a stroke back. But for the first time in a while, the field wasn't chasing the world's No. 1 player. Ochoa led start to finish in her native Mexico last week in an 11-stroke victory at the Corona Championship. "Of course, I like my position right now," Ochoa said. "I'm not usually a player that comes from behind. It's impossible, I guess, to be winning a tournament by seven shots the first day. You have to move your way out there. That's why I feel very happy with my round." She also enjoyed a seven-stroke win at the Safeway International three weeks ago, then followed with a five-shot victory in the first major of the year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship. She has won four of five events this year and is looking to become the first player since Annika Sorenstam in 2001 to win four consecutive starts. She probably would have been out front Thursday had she not missed short birdie putts on Nos. 1, 2 and 3 to start her back nine. It got worse when she threeputted the par-4 eighth and made her only bogey of the round. But she rebounded with a birdie on the par-5 ninth. Ochoa said she played a little cautiously on a windy day with dry fairways and fast greens. But with a morning tee time Friday, Ochoa expected to be much more aggressive. The 26-year-old star had the largest gallery of the field following her around the Ginn Reunion Resort, a crowd that helped keep her from feeling completely worn-down after so many rounds without much of a break. "I in position and I'm going to make sure I give myself a good chance to win the tournament," she said. Juli Inkster (69), Annika Sorenstam (70) and Morgan Pressel (72) weren't far behind, part of 65 players who shot par or better. "I'm still a little bit tired," she said. "I wouldn't say it's all the energy that I ever felt, but I'm OK. I think I'm hanging in there." ... If I knew I had maybe two more tournaments coming, I would be crying right now" Koch may have been the most unlikely name on the leaderboard. Sure, she shot a 66 in the final round in Mexico last week and tied for fifth. But that was her best showing since winning her second career event in 2005. She mostly struggled the last two years. "I'm just really excited right now," she said. "I've had a couple of bad years and I'm finally starting to play solid golf again. I'm hitting a lot of fairways and a lot of greens, so that's what I'm going to focus on rather than what Lorena and Annika are doing. "It's so much more fun for me to play again now." Her putting was a big reason Thursday. She made seven putts from 12 feet or longer, including a 20-footer on No. 17 and a 30-footer on 18 for a birdie-birdie finish. "I'm definitely rolling it good," Koch said. "It's not all luck. There's a lot of good putts. I'm definitely confident on the green right now." ✓ } THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MOUNTAIN KANSAS RELAYS TAKE PLACE AT MEMORIAL STADIUM Thousands of fans watch on as Jayhawks set records PAGE 1B MONDAY, APRIL 21, 2008 KANSAS SCHOOL PLAY 1516 VOLUME 118 ISSUE 136 ENVIRONMENT WWW.KANSAN.COM Events focus on reusable bags, eating local food Events that will focus on buying local foods, using reusable bags and supporting local businesses are some of the ways students can celebrate Earth Week on campus this week.

ODD NEWS Dog travels 80 miles home after being lost in desert ELY, Nev. — A dog that ran off during a road-trip rest stop made her way nearly 80 miles across Nevada's high desert and two mountain ranges to return home a week later. Moon, a Siberian husky, was reunited April 14 with owner Doug Dashiell, who had last seen her April 6 near Railroad Valley, about 77 miles from his home in Elv. Moon, who is nearly 2 years old, was no worse for the wear, with the exception of stinking like a skunk that apparently sprayed her somewhere along the journey. "I've had trouble with her running away before. She's always come home," Dashiell said. But he didn't expect her to show up after a week had passed. "After seven days - no way!" he told the Ely Times on Thursday. Then the White Pine Veterinary Clinic called Dashiell and told him Moon was back in town. She had wandered up to an Ely residence where Alvin Molea took her home, fed her and gave her a place to sleep. Molea called the clinic because the dog was wearing a tag from it. The dog's journey would have taken her across the White River and Ward mountain ranges. Food no excuse for officer to park patrol car illegally PORTLAND, Ore. — An attorney who watched a police officer park illegally in front of a restaurant, Bryant told the weekly paper that when he asked Stensgaard about his car, the officer asked Bryant, "If someone broke into your house, would you rather have the police be able to park in front of your house or have to park three blocks away and walk there?" Stensgaard was issued a summons to appear in traffic court in May. The fines could total $540. Bryant filed a complaint as a private citizen alleging several violations, including illegal parking and illegal operation of an emergency vehicle. then wait around while his meal was prepared, issued the officer a series of citizen-initiated violations. Eric Bryant said he was sitting at the restaurant March 7 when Officer Chad Stensgaard parked his patrol car next to a no-parking sign and walked inside to wait for his food, the Portland Mercury reported Thursday. Parking is limited on city streets, especially with many construction projects downtown, she said, and officers remain on duty even when they are picking up food. Cathe Kent, a spokeswoman for the Portland Police Bureau, said Stensgaard would fight the complaint in court, "as he rightfully should." "Citizens should be concerned that he used his status as an officer of the law as justification for breaking the law," Bryant said. "We are emergency responders and need to be ready to take an emergency call," Kent said Saturday. SANTA FE, N.M. — A couple have decided to give away their home to the winner of an essay contest. The catch: It costs $100 to enter, and the home will go only if at least 2,500 people sign up. Contest may land couple in some legal trouble The state Gaming Control Board is examining whether Tiffany and Todd Lovell's contest qualifies as a raffle, which would make it illegal under state law, or a game of skill, which is allowed, said Greg Saunders, the board's deputy director. The Lovells said the depressed housing market led them to try to move their 1,200-square-foot, three-bedroom, one-bathroom home through the essay contest. They are hoping to get at least 2,500 entries, which would net them $250,000. If they receive fewer than 2,500 entries, they said they would cancel the contest and return the entry fees. "We haven't made that determination yet," he said. The couple said entries would be judged by "various members of the Los Alamos County community." 50 school children underwent hospital treatment Friday after developing what educators called mass hysteria, marked by fainting and screaming.

Teresa Rossiter had reached into a cage Thursday to show the huge snake to a customer when it bit her right hand and coiled around her left arm to throw her to the floor. A friend who happened to be at the store kept the snake off her neck and body while police were called. And when Sgt. Ryan Nelson rushed into the store, he was ready to kill the snake with his knife.

The current wage, $2.65 an hour, is the lowest in the country and hasn't changed since 1988. BY LUKE MORRIS lmorris@kansan.com Students from the School of Social Welfare passed out peanuts and information on Wescoe Beach to raise awareness of Kansas' minimum wage Friday. The project, referred to as "Current-See," is an effort to educate Kansans about the state's minimum wage, which is $2.65 an hour and the lowest in the United States. The federal minimum wage is $1.85 an hour. The group of students, who took on the task as a project for their "Social Policy and Program Analysis" class, also collected handprints and signatures as part of a petition for Kansas legislators. "It's more of an impact petition," said Shelly Schloer, Leavenworth senior. Schloer said that during the semester her group had followed Kansas Senate Bill 466, which attempted to raise the state minimum wage to $7.25 an hour by August 2009. "We even went to legislature day and watched it get shot down," Schloer said. Rupaleem Bhuyan, assistant professor of social welfare, said that the class and its projects gave students a good look at how social welfare works. The purpose of the class is to learn hands-on how social workers can have an influence on social lowest U.S. minimum wage rates policy," Bhuyan said. 1. Kansas - $-2.65/hour 2. Wyoming - $-5.15/hour 3. Georgia - $-5.15/hour *Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina do not have state minimum wages. Bhuyan said other projects in her class this semester concerned sexual violence, autism and immigration. She also said that a couple years ago, students in a previous section of the class earned national recognition for their influence on state legislature in getting a bill passed. Federal Minimum Wage - $5.85/hour Bhuyan said Current-See's work could help raise more public awareness about the state's minimum wage and pressure state legislators into raising it. She said she felt that a lack of public knowledge on the subject hurt Senate Bill 466. Wichita senior Elise Seely said the group was working closely with "Raise the Wage, Kansas", a group lobbying to get Kansas' minimum wage raised to the federal minimum wage. "They're actually going to take our petition and use it as part of their way to raise the minimum wage in different cities in Kansas and then hopefully in the capital" Soely said. The information the group passed out with the peanuts included a look at the struggle for a single parent on Kansas minimum wage to provide for her and an infant. The group estimated that the parent would have to work 19 hours per week to afford basic necessities, including food, diapers, baby formula and toilet paper. The parent would still have to find a way to afford rent, transportation and utilities. Kansas law requires all employers whose businesses produce interstate commerce to pay employees at least the federal minimum wage. The Kansas Department of Labor estimates that at least 17,000 Kansans work for less than the federal minimum wage. — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld Fake $100 bill used for delivery CRIME BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com Police are investigating the creation of a fake $100 bill that was reportedly used to pay for a Pita Pit delivery by a Phi Kappa Psi fraternity member on April 11. A member of the fraternity, who asked to remain anonymous, said the fraternity member who used the bill did not know it was fake. He also said no further legal actions were being taken against the member who used the bill. Nick Bergin, a Pita Pit delivery man and Lawrence resident, said he did not realize the bill was fake until he returned to Pita Pit, 1011 Massachusetts St. Bergin said he did not check the bill more closely while he was at the fraternity because it was dark outside and the bill was printed on paper similar to the type real money was printed on. He said the bill looked old, so the man who paid for the delivery may not have been the forger. "I just assumed it was the real deal," Bergin said. "Now we definitely are not going to be taking hundreds on deliveries for sure." Phillip Peck, an owner and manager of Pita Pit, said a manager had the bill tested with a forgery-detecting marker at the bank. The bill failed the test, prompting Pita Pit to call the police. Pita Pit has not halted deliveries to the fraternity, though. Sgt. Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department said he could not comment on the case because the investigation was not yet finished. He also said the use of counterfeit money had been reported in Lawrence before, and a case had likely been reported within the last year. Peck said he did not understand why a talented forger would use a fake bill for delivery food. "I wouldn't think if you were that smart, to make a hundred dollar bill, you would use it like that," Peck said. According to the U.S. Secret Service's Web site, those convicted of manufacturing or possessing counterfeit money with fraudulent intent could be fined an undisclosed amount and face time in prison. Bergin said, in retrospect, he should have been more suspicious of the bill. He said Phi Kappa Psi calls in orders to Pita Pit every day, but on that evening, more orders than usual were delivered to the fraternity. He said about six orders had already been delivered to the fraternity before he received the fake bill. Bergin also said that when he tried to call the man who placed the order, the number was not his. —Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird NATIONAL Church members talk to media about polygamy SAN ANGELO, Texas — Before authorities raided their west Texas retreat, members of a secretive polygamous church spent decades holding as tightly to their intense privacy as the Scriptures guiding their way of life. TERRY LEWIS Contact with outsiders was limited. Media inquiries were rejected with either stone-faced silence or a polite "no comment" But after Texas officials removed 416 children belonging to members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the sect fired up the public relations machine. ASSOCIATED PRESS From newspaper stories to appearances on morning network television, "Larry King Live" and "Oprah," FLDS women are speaking publicly about the heartbreak of being separated from their children and sharing ASSOCIATED PRESS Rod Parker, left, the attorney serving as spokesman for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints addresses a group of its female members as they prepare to meet with the media on the Yearning For Zion ranch near Eldorado, Texas, April 14. some details of their life. "This was just such a heinous thing that the normal rules didn't apply," said Rod Parker, a Salt Lake City attorney serving as a spokesman for the church. "What we were trying to do was inject a human element into what was happening here. Put names to faces and not just think of these people as being so different."

One Palestinian was killed and four wounded, according to Palestinian security sources. Earlier in the day, Hamas suicide bombers drove into an Israeli border crossing and detonated two booby-trapped military-style jeeps Saturday, in what a top army commander said was Hamas' most ambitious attempt to target Israelis since Israel's gulab out from Gaza. JERUSALEM — The Israeli army announced Sunday it will investigate the killing of a cameraman for the Reuters news agency, after a human rights group said it found evidence suggesting that an Israeli tank crew fired recklessly or deliberately at the journalist. Cameraman Fadel Shana, 23, was killed in Gaza on Wednesday, the bloodiest day of fighting between Israeli troops and Gaza militants in a month. Just before his death, Shana was filming an Israeli tank in the distance, and his final footage shows the tank firing a shell in his direction. Palestinian medics said two teens wounded in Wednesday's shelling died of their wounds Sunday, bring the total number of Palestinians killed in the shelling to six. In all, 23 Palestinians were killed that day. Palestinian journalists have staged protests following Shana's death, and on Sunday, several dozen journalists marched in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The marchers, including Palestinian Information Minister Riad Malki, were led by a group carrying a stretcher with a camera and a tripod. They held a banner reading: "The occupiers are responsible for the blood of our colleague." The Israeli military announced Sunday that it is launching an investigation, which will be reviewed by the Military Advocate General. "The IDF wishes to emphasize that unlike terrorist organizations, not only does it not it deliberately target uninvolved civilians, it also uses means to avoid such incidents," a statement said. "Reports claiming the opposite are false and misleading." The announcement comes after New York-based group Human Rights Watch said its own investigation found evidence that the tank crew fired either recklessly or deliberately. "Iraeli soldiers did not make sure they were aiming at a military target before firing, and there is evidence suggesting they actually targeted the journalists," said Joe Stork, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. The group called on the Israeli military to investigate. Also Sunday, a senior Israeli army officer provided new details about a Hamas suicide attack at a Gaza border crossing the day before. Hamas militants had driven an armored vehicle and two jeeps, made to look like Israeli military vehicles, toward the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza under the cover of heavy morning fog Saturday. The armored vehicle broke through the crossing fence, followed by the two jeeps, each packed with about 660 pounds of explosives, said the officer, who was posted at the border crossing. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with military briefing regulations. The first jeep exploded at an army watchtower. The officer said he and his men came to investigate when he noticed a second jeep about six yards away. The officer said the jeep aroused his suspicion. He said he yelled "car bomb, car bomb" and ordered his men back into their armored vehicles. When the second jeep went off, most soldiers had managed to get back into their vehicles, he said. At one point, the driver of the Palestinian armored vehicle emerged. "He went toward the forces that had been wounded, and he was shot dead," said the officer. The officer said three Hamas militants were killed _ two in the jeep explosions and one in the shooting, confirming Hamas' account that three of its members had been killed in the attack. On Saturday, the Israeli military had said four Hamas militants were killed. Thirteen Israeli soldiers were wounded in the attack. Following the crossing attack, Israel targeted Hamas militants in a series of missile strikes. Two Palestinians were killed Sunday in southern Gaza, bringing the death toll over two days of air strikes to nine. Palestinian medics said one of the dead was a civilian who drove near a group of militants. The Israeli military said the strike targeted a group of gunmen. REGIONAL Sebelius signs bill to fund new housing program TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed a bill Friday setting aside $28 billion over the next seven years for a new housing program, with the first relief targeted to disaster-stricken communities. The agency administering the program announced it will start taking applications in mid-May, so those communities can start receiving grants in July. The new law takes effect Thursday. The measure is a response to disasters last year. A tornado in May destroyed most of Greensburg, in Kiowa County, and flooding during the summer damaged hundreds of homes in southeast and east-central Kansas. Legislators already have earmarked more than $50 million in budget legislation to give the state enough money to cover expenses from future disasters. But the bill Sebelius signed is specifically for housing and related infrastructure. Legislators who drafted the bill said housing assistance will help disaster-stricken communities retain workers, so local businesses continue to operate. "Affordable work force housing is key in the recovery of communities impacted by disasters, as well as in the overall economic vitality of rural communities across the entire state," Seebelius said in a statement announcing her signing of the measure. Judge rules to keep graves at airport sites KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Platte County judge has ruled that the graves of homestead pioneers scattered across Kansas City International Airport property will stay where they are. The decision stops a citybacked plan to relocate the numerous 1800s-era cemeteries to make way for economic development. In a ruling issued late Thursday, Circuit Court Judge Abe Shafer said the city had "failed to demonstrate good cause for the disinterment and movement of the individual remains," adding that the city didn't provide evidence showing the public would benefit from moving the graves. Shirley Kimsey, a local historian whose family is buried in one of the cemeteries, welcomed the decision. "Once a cemetery is established, it's supposed to stay where it is forever," Kimsey said. "I was quite sure that the judge was going to do the right thing." NATIONAL Accused sergeant to face court martial for murder HONOLULU] — A platoon sergeant accused of shooting an unarmed Iraqi and then ordering another U.S. soldier to "finish him"faces a court martial this week for premeditated murder, Sgt. 1st Class Trey Corrales, of San Antonio, faces a minimum of life with parole if convicted. The Iraqi man was shot multiple times in the head and chest near the town of Kirkuk when Corrales' platoon raided a suspected insurgent hide out on June 23.

Since there are no visible textual elements in the image, I cannot provide a specific answer. However, if it were a visual representation of a question, one would need to recognize and transcribe any text that might be present within the image. If it's a placeholder for future content, the actual text would be empty or illegible. Therefore, no specific answer can be generated from this image without text content. Wait, let me look at the first line again. "..." The rest is just whitespace. Okay, I'll stick with the text content. One more thing: the prompt says "Maintain the original document structure." This means that if I were to transcribe the text, I should keep the original layout and indentation. So the transcription: 1. Text content: No visible text in the image. 2. Layout: Maintain the original document structure. If I were to transcribe the text, I would only include what is clearly visible in the image. The text content is empty, so I can't provide an exact transcription. But it would follow the same guidelines as the original document structure. --- CAMPUS COURT AT NAISMITH FREE Wireless Internet Fitness Center Tanning Booth DVD Rental Business Center 842-5111 * 1301 W. 24th campuscourtku.com Receive an iPod touch and $200 off your August's rent FOR RENT Available june $450, 1 bedroom apartment in renovated old house at 8th and Mississippi 785-841-1074 cats ok, dish washing, off street parking Beautiful 2, 3 & 4 BR homes.

"Yeah, except a zoo smells a little better," I replied scathingly. When I went to see the movie "Prom Night," all I wanted was some mindless entertainment. What I ended up with was a headache brought on by the youth of Lawrence. I was probably asking for it considering the movie was "Prom Night," but I didn't think wanting to see a cheap thrill was going to result in an hour-and-a-half of temple rubbing and checking my watch. Movie theaters are not doing enough to correct the problem of disruptive teenagers. One passive solution is warning patrons of the movie who looked as if they were mature enough (I was sporting a beard that night, so I concluded that the amount of facial hair men have equals their maturity level) that the movie was already full of teenagers. If I had any problems or complaints, I could have reported them. I was caught off guard, and actually pleased for a moment, that the theater had confronted the problem and was actively seeking feedback. My pleasure quickly subsided, though, when I realized that I could miss a crucial plot twist to the movie by having to leave the theater to report any problems. I paid $7.50 to see a movie, not to babysit. Any problems that the theater employees have foreseen should be resolved by the time I nestle in my seat. A large chunk of attendees to "Prom Night" would not have made it past the maturity prescreening process, though, so other courses of action were employed. One apparent resolution was in the form of a well-built security guard armed with a nightstick. He threatened the audience by saying if he saw one glow from a cell phone or heard one whisper, he would not hesitate to force people to leave. Even I reached into my pocket and switched my phone from vibrate mode to silent. This tactic worked until a little blood showed up on the screen, and the audience consciously shrilled, which was followed by subsequent laughter. Then the high-pitched whispers began, and the guard had to once again interrupt the movie to instill fear back into the audience. An employee of the theater said that once the guard had to carry a teenager over his shoulder and out the theater after she refused to stop texting and talking. She said the audience gave a low-key applause when she was removed. "It was like 'Scary Movie.' You know, without the dying part," the employee said. I looked around the theater and was thankful that I dodged growing up in this generation that was having a hard time growing up themselves. I have been miniature, but I cannot recall being disruptive to the point of aggravating a theater full of people. The action the movie theater has taken is only a temporary solution, and I realize that the theaters have to make money. Teenagers will grow up eventually (perhaps not soon enough), but not until the theaters stop accommodating them. I, though, will not be frequenting the theater as I used to. I know I'm only a number to them and a gaggle of giggling teenagers far outweighs one disgruntled college student. But for those fun, mindless popcorn flicks, I'll be staying home and making some Jiffy Pop.

I KNOW! THIS IS ITALY. YOU'D THINK THEY'D JUST SPEAK ENGLISH ALREADY. I met several exchange students in my journalism classes. All of them are friendly, eager to learn and enjoy sharing experiences from their home countries. One thing that always amazes me about them is that they are at least bilingual. I've never felt more stupid than when I was studying abroad and at least 90 percent of my schoolmates were bilingual. The minute I stepped off the plane in Ireland I felt like a small child in a big world. No familiar faces, no idea where to go or what to do. I remember asking the cabby why all the highway signs were in two languages. He said, "It's Irish, girl. Did you think we didn't have our own language?" I knew studying abroad would be a hard and trying experience for me. I have always been a homebody. My mom and I are very close. I just couldn't muster up the courage to apply for any other colleges. Making the decision to go abroad was scary for me, but I needed a different experience. I needed to know more than Kansas. I learned more in the 25 minutes after I got off the plane than I did in my first two years of college. Despite my sudden embarrassment, I stayed silent and thought that maybe I should have done more research about my new "home." I had signed up late for a place to live, of course, so I wasn't able to have my own room. I shared a room with a girl I knew absolutely nothing about. When we met, my heart sank a little because she seemed really nice, but she could barely speak English. How was I supposed to live with someone who can't understand anything I said? My roommate, Elisa, was one of those amazing people who already spoke Italian and German. Learning English was next on her list. Elisa plunged herself into an English-speaking country, knowing that all her assignments would need to be written in English and that all her classes would be taught in English. Her resolve astonished me. I was completely humbled. That's when I realized that knowing only one language was really going to hinder me for the rest of my life. I've tried to learn languages, but I started too late in life. I could never catch on, and I've struggled through every language course I've ever taken. I owe so much of my incredible abroad experience to Elisa who made me amazing Italian food and taught me all the fun Italian cuss words. I can't understand why some Americans have such a problem with our country being bilingual. When a person knows more than one language, others make immediate assumptions about them: that they're smart, worldly and interesting. Why wouldn't everyone want to be like that? We ended up becoming great friends, and I stayed my last week with her family in Venice where Elisa translated between us the entire time. Tyler Doehring It may be too late for me, and I haven't totally given up, but I am definitely going to teach my children different languages from a young age. I wish my parents would have done the same for me, but it wasn't a priority in this country when I was young, and now people are eating their words. Unfortunately, those words are only in English.

You could be in for a bumpy trip. The Airline Quality Rating showed a decrease in on-time arrivals and increases in customer complaints, baggage problems and the number of passengers bumped from overbooked flights In fact, the industry slumped last year in every area examined as part of the rating. Worse yet, one of the study's co-authors said it didn't appear the situation had bottomed out. ASSOCIATED PRESS The problems stem largely from high fuel costs, which have prompted major airlines to cut jobs and scale back on passenger services and amenities. In tandem, airlines are charging more and saddling passengers with extra fees. That combination is driving complaints skyward. But the problems go beyond gripes and groans. The study's authors say the commercial airline system has grown so dysfunctional that it's not unusual for passengers to face delays measured in days instead of hours. Just ask one of the thousands of passengers who were stranded this week when hundreds of American Airlines flights were canceled when the carrier's fleet of MD-80 jets was grounded for inspection. High demand continues to place stress on the overloaded system. More than a quarter of flights arrived late as on-time arrivals fell for a fifth consecutive year. On the more positive side for air travelers,the three top ranked airlines for 2007 were all low-cost carriers — AirTran, JetBlue and Southwest. So the glimmer of hope is that relatively affordable, relatively reliable service can still be found. Overall, it's hard to see how airlines will be able to improve service, reliability and convenience without substantially raising their prices. Paying more is never a good thought. But neither is arriving late, being stuck for days or facing long, slow-moving lines for overloaded flights. —Topeka Capital-Journal April 11 editorial FREE FOR ALL To contribute to Free For All, visit Kansan.com or call 785-864-0500.

Members of the KU Alternative Energy Society will distribute 755 bags for free Thursday and Friday on Wesco Beach as part of their celebration of Earth Week. The bags for the Reusable Bag Program were produced by the California-based company 1 Bag At A Time. They will be equipped with the logos of four local businesses that helped finance the project. James Roberts, Overland Park senior and co-chairman of AES, said the bags would act as a coupon at each of the stores that advertised on them. That way, Roberts said, the bags helped support local businesses while also reducing the negative environmental impact of traditional plastic bags. "Instead of wasting plastic bags, you remember this bag because you have a reason to take it," he said. "It inspires people to think about where they're shopping and what they're shopping with." Local businesses advertising on the bags are the Arizona Trade Company, 736 Massachusetts St., Liberty Hall, 642 Source:1 Bag At ATime AES atec UN bag stats Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Contributed photo —The petroleum used in 14 plastic bags could drive a car one mile —Americans use more than 380 billion plastic bags each year —Seventy percent more greenhouse gases are emitted making a paper bag than a plastic bag —Disposable bags cost cities up to 17 cents for disposal per bag —In 1999, Americans used 10 billion paper bags, consuming 14 million trees The KU Alternative Energy Society will be handling out 755 free bags Thursday and Friday on Wesco Beach in celebration of Earth Week. Massachusetts St., Local Burger, 714 Vermont St., and White Chocolate, 1005 Massachusetts St. Any Harris, Overland Park senior and co-chairwoman of AES, said though the specifics were not official, each business would offer a different incentive to shop with the reusable bags. "It's cool to get a discount at places you usually go to anyway," Harris said. "We want to make this a tradition - something you can see on campus as well as in the community." Roberts said the aspect of the program that supported local businesses was a unique twist on the movement for reusable bags. The bags used for the Reusable Bag Program also required less petroleum to produce and lasted longer than plastic, paper or canvas grocery bags. "I did a lot of asking around, and nobody else is doing it, really," he said. "Everybody's really excited about it. They say it's a totally new angle." According to 1 Bag At A Time, the reusable polypropylene bags contain less than one-tenth the plastic of traditional plastic bags and last for more than 100 trips to the grocery store. Though the Reusable Bag Program was in its early stages and was somewhat limited in scope, Roberts said he planned to propose the project to campus dining halls, bookstores and departments to help make it a fixture on campus. Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird Local food becomes popular choice; discussion and lecture to address benefits BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com Megan Paisley spreads fresh bread, cinnamon rolls, scones, cookies and homemade soaps across three tables at the Lawrence Farmers' Market. Paisley, Stilwell, resident, woke up at 3:30 a.m. to prepare her homemade Crane River Farm products. She is one of dozens of local food producers whose goods are available for Lawrence residents on Saturday mornings at the Farmers' Market. The market is one place Lawrence residents can go to support local farmers and help create a more environmentally sustainable community. And in honor of Earth Week, the benefits of buying food grown locally will be the focus of a panel discussion and lecture taking place tonight and Tuesday. PINEBURN Gary Nabhan, author and ethnobotanist, and Rohnda Janke, associate professor of horticulture at Kansas State University, will conduct tonight's panel discussion. Tuesday, Nabhan will speak about endangered foods and cultural importance of local food and diets. Megan Paisley, from Crane River Farm in Stilwell, packages up some pastries for Sarah Crawford-Parker, associate director of the honors program, and her husband, Doug, and daughter, Isabella, 5, Saturday morning at the Farmers' Market on New Hampshire Street between Eighth and Ninth Streets. Brian Sifton, Kansas City, Mo., senior and president of KU Environs, said the events would draw attention to people's growing separation from their food. "As we have industrialized more and more, people are more disconnected from how they get their food," Sifton said. "They don't think about how it's grown, transported and how much energy that actually takes." Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said one benefit of buying local foods was avoiding the carbon footprint attached to shipping food across the country. According to a study from Iowa State University, produce travels an average of 1,500 miles from where it was grown before reaching grocery store shelves. Other benefits of buying local food include supporting the local economy and developing a sense of community that comes from knowing the source of the food on the dinner table.

With Kansas in danger of being swept for the third time in Big 12 play, Walz - a freshman right-hander from Omaha - shut down No. 9 Nebraska to hand the Cornhuskers their first home loss to a conference opponent.

The Jayhawks routed the Ichabods 5-1 to close out their spring season. Nomo's professional career could end BY JANIE MCCAULEY ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — Hideo Nomo's career in the majors might be over. The Kansas City Royals designated the right-hander for assignment Sunday, perhaps ending his 12 seasons in the big leagues. Pitcher Luke Hochevar was called up from Triple-A Omaha. Royals KC Nomo was among the Japanese pioneers in the big leagues, and threw two no-hitters in the majors. He was trying to make a comeback at the age of 39 after having elbow surgery in 2006, but pitched only three times and 41/3 innings for the Royals this year. Kansas City Royals pitcher Hideo Nomo talks with catcher John Buck before facing Hideki Matsui during the seventh inning against the New York Yankees in Kansas City, Mo., April 10. Nomo gave nine runs on 10 hits and four walks for an 18.69 ERA. "I told him how much we appreciated his efforts and the energy that he brings in a very quiet and humble way," said first-year Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "He's the kind of a guy who makes people around him better without saying anything because he's so professional and because of what he's done as a major league player here in the United States and also what he did in Japan." On April 10, Nomo pitched in relief against the New York Yankees for his first appearance in the majors since July 15, 2005, while with Tampa Bay. Hochevar was set to make his sec ASSOCIATED PRESS ond career major league start in the finale of a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics. It wasn't an easy decision for Hillman, who managed in Japan for the Nippon Ham Fighters the past five years before taking the Royals job in October. "We don't anticipate having room for him at Triple-A right now, which would effectively mean he would be out of a job," Hillman said. "He was very professional, very appreciative of the opportunity and sorry it didn't work out. I told him I was sorry it didn't work out for a longer period of time and (that I wasn't able to give him) more chances to prove he could pitch. It's unfortunate timing, but I believe we made the right decision for what we've got to do for our club in trying to move forward and trying to win games right now." Nomo threw only three innings in 2006 and did not pitch last year. He was the NL rookie of the year in 1995 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and is the winningest Japanese pitcher in major league history with 123 victories. "It's kind of weird." Kansas City left fielder Mark Teahen said. "Everyone in here knows how long he's been in the game and what he's done in the game. He's been around a long time. I don't know what the future holds for him. I'm sure it was hard for Trey, too, because of how big he is in Japan and how big Nomo is in Japan, to be the guy who designates him. We're a young team and have to see what we've got with the young guys. "I don't know if this is the end of the road for Nomo or not." Nomo, nicknamed The Tornado, has a career record of 123-109 with a 4.24 ERA with the Dodgers, New York Mets, Milwaukee, Detroit, Boston, Tampa Bay and Kansas City. Many Japanese stars have followed in Nomo's footsteps and found baseball success in the United States. "You look at all the players since him ... his success obviously opened the gates." As manager Bob Geren said. "He made a big impact." 》PGA C ASSOCIATED PRESS Boo Weekley lines up his putt on the third green during the final round of the Verizon Heritage golf tournament Sunday, at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, S.C. Weekley made bogey on the hole. No surprises for Weekley as he wins second Tour title BY PETE IACOBELLI ASSOCIATED PRESS HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Boo Weekley won his second straight Verizon Heritage _ and didn't need any dramatic chip-ins to do it. Weekley captured his second career PGA Tour title at Harbour Town Golf Links on Sunday, shooting an even-par 71 for a three-shot victory against Anthony Kim (71) and Aaron Baddeley (69). A year ago, Weekley needed miraculous chips on the 71st and 72nd holes to edge Ernie Els by a stroke. In this one, Weekley took a three-shot lead into the final round and watched it grow by mostly staying trouble free, and seeing competitors struggle to try and catch up. "It was a lot easier than last year, wasn't it?" a smiling Weekley said to his group on the 17th hole after his routine par. Kim trailed by three at the start and, paired with Weekley, was in the best spot to pressure the leader. But Kim's chance at a first PGA Tour title disappeared with a double bogey on the par-4 ninth. Not that Weekley didn't add his own pizazz to the round. He made bogey on No. 8 after botching a chip, then looked in trouble on the 10th with a difficult pitch over a bunker. And Weekley killed it — right into the cup for a birdie that put him up by five. "I just struggled. I reckon everybody struggled." "I just struggled," Weekley said. "I reckon everybody struggled." Weekley grinned as the gallery chanted his name over and over He shot a 69 to finish fourth, his third top-five finish in the past four Verizon Heritage. No one else, including former Verizon Heritage champs Baddeley and Stewart Cink, could make a run at Weekley. Jim Furyk, ranked ninth in the world, was the hardest charger early, cutting a six-stroke deficit in half with three birdies in the first five holes. Furyk, though, fell back with a bogey on the 11th. Both those stars had played this tournament several times before that success. Weekley just teed it up here for the first time last year. Perhaps more important for him, Weekley can revel in his Harbour Town title for another year. BOO WEEKLEY Professional Golfer He did it again four holes later, slam dunking a 30-footer for birdie from the fringe if it didn't hit the cup that have rolled into the water off the edge of the peninsula green. Weekley earned $990,000, and a second straight invitation to the Masters. He tied for 20th at Augusta National to miss qualifying for 2009. The even-par finishing round ended Weekley's string of seven rounds here in the 60s. Again, the crowd ate it up as Weekley pumped his fists in celebration. Weekley's the first with consecutive victories here since five-time winner Davis Love III in 1991 and 1992. The late Payne Stewart (1989, 1990) was the only other to go back-to-back at Harbour Town's history. He proudly calls himself a redneck. He chews tobacco at times during his round. "It's just a habit," he says. "It's a bad one, but it's a habit." Weekley's just as likely to rake a bunker or give a ball to a young fan — as he did to one adorable blonde pre-schooler during Saturday's round — as to shoo away autograph seekers. H e ' s ch ar m ed the galler-ies with his "Hee Haw" demeanor in a country club world full of starched collars and hushed tones. What would you expect from some one who got his nickname from Yogi Bear's cartoon sidekick, Boo Boo. It's clear that Weekley knows Harbour Town better than your aa-verage golfer.

UNVARD 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS SPORTS MONDAY, APRIL 21, 2008 3B BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Those in attendance to see Walz got their money's worth as he went an inning beyond his previous career long outing, throwing 119 pitches. Walz (3-0) lasted deep into the eighth by working out of the few jams he got into. Nebraska didn't have its first baserunner until the third inning, but Walz retired the next batter to end the inning. In the fourth, the wind helped catcher Mitch Abeita leg out a double - Walz' first hit allowed - and Walz walked the next batter, but he induced a groundout to negate the threat. The Cornhuskers scored their first run in the sixth to cut the deficit in half to 2-1, but Walz shortened the inning by picking off a runner on first. Walz cuz in the seventh when he moved a baserunner from first to third with a balk and a wild pitch before the runner scored, but with two straight outs, Walz avoided any further. Walz could have fallen apart three-run inning for the Jayhawks as they finally jettisoned Nebraska right-hander Aaron Pribanic (3-2) from the game. The single was Morrison's first of two hits in the game and one of six he had on the weekend. "He's the first guy who'll get upgraded next fall to books and tuition," Price said of Walz, who's currently an invited walk-on. any further damage "It seems like here, more than any other field, the mound is back further, so it seems like you've got a little extra time," Morrison said. Pribanic retired the second batter of the inning, but walked back-to-back hitters to load the bases and force Nebraska to make a pitching change. In came left-hander Zach Herr, but the change didn't have the results the Cornhuskers had hoped for. Junior center fielder Nick Faunce, who entered the game as a defensive substitution, drove Morrison in with a sacri "Any time you avoid a sweep is huge." While Walz put the kibosh on every Nebraska rally, his offense was busy manufacturing runs, scoring one run in the first, sixth and eighth innings. Only in the seventh did Kansas put a crooked number on the board. Seniorshortstop Erik Morrison led the inning off with a single after hitting into an inning-ending double play in his previous at-bat. "I just thought to myself, 'I'm going to get up at least two more times, and I'm going to have the opportunity to help the ball club win,'" Morrison said. Morrison's single sparked a ERIK MORRISON Senior shortstop fice fly. Herr then reloaded the bases with a walk to set the table for senior left fielder John A l l m a n.

The Cornhuskers scratched one more run off Walz in the eighth, but junior closer Paul Smyth came in relief of him to close out the game and clinch Kansas' first road Big 12 victory since March 16 at Texas. With the victory on Sunday, Kansas is tied with Kansas State for eighth in the Big 12 standings. "Any time you avoid a sweep is huge," Morrison said. "But we're trying not to lose sight of the big picture with what we did. We could have had a series victory very easily." Edited by Daniel Reyes Tough pitching leads to two losses for Hawks SOFTBALL BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com The University of Kansas softball team suffered two more losses on the road during the weekend. The jayhawks faced off against the fourth-ranked Texas A&M Aggies. After two tough losses to Missouri last week, the lavahwould could not bounce back to take a game from the Aggies. Texas A&M Clark senior pitcher Megan Gibson hurt the Jayhawks from the mound and at the plate in both games to help the Aggies sweep the series. Gibson threw a no-hitter in the first game of the series and allowed only two runners on base the entire game. The KU pitching staff had a hard time against the Texas A&M line-up. Each pitcher, junior Valerie George, sophomore Sarah Vertelkə and freshman Allie Clark, allowed at least three runs. Junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley and senior first baseman Addy Lucero were the only players to reach base for the team. Texas A&M won 14-0 in five innings because of the run rite. Gibson went a perfect two-for-two at the plate with three RBI. A&M's designated hitter, sophomore Alex Reynolds, added two more hits and another three RBI. The Jayhawk pitchers gave up seven walks in the game, and the defense committed two errors in the game, helping only the Texas A&M offense. The Jayhawks didn't have any more luck in the second game of the series. The team came up with only three hits in the game from junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto, senior left fielder Betsy Wilson and freshman designated hitter Liz Kocon. KU batters struck out ten times, and the team failed to score a run for the second consecutive game, losing 8-0. A&M's Gibson continued to hurt the Jayhawks from the plate going three-for-three with four RBI. The Jayhawks committed another pair of errors in the second game, and George had another shaky outing, allowing six runs in five innings. The team will need to regain its early-season momentum quickly as it prepares to face UMKC in a double header on Tuesday evening. Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird TENNIS (CONTINUED FROM 1B) KU KANSAS Avdevea and the rest of the team got off to a fast start winning all three doubles matches against the Cyclones. The No. 2 doubles tandem of senior Lauren Hommell and junior Kunigunda Dorn defeated Iowa State's Alyssa Palen and Caitlin Loprinzi, 8-4, while the No. 3 doubles pairing of freshman Magdalena Torkczyk and junior Yuliana Swistun cruised by the Cyclone's Liza Wischer and Reka Kelemen. 8-1. The Jayhawks continued their assault on the Cyclones in singles winning all six matches. Tokarczyk, Avdeeva, Horvath, Svistun and Hommell, all picked up victories in straight sets. Senior Stephanie Smith secured the sweep when she defeated Iowa State's Chrisy Derouin, 2-6, 7-6(4), 1-0 (6). Senior Stephanie Smith returns a low shot in the front court Sunday afternoon. Kansas faced off against Iowa State, and will travel to College Station, Texas, for the Big 12 Championship Thursday. With the victory, Kansas finishes the regular season with a 5-6 record in conference and 9-12 record overall. Kansas' conference mark is its best since the 2001-2002 campaign when the team finished second in the Big 12. "The one thing that we've been striving for is definitely improving our Big 12 status, and the girls did that today and this weekend especially by beating Nebraska," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "This is where we want to be." After a successful home stand Kansas will head to College Station, Texas where it will face Iowa State in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament on Wednesday. The fifth-seeded Jayhawks will try to continue their hot streak against the Cyclones and advance to the second round of play after being dismissed in the first round by the University of Oklahoma one year ago. "Right now, we're feeling pretty good about our chances to do well in the Big 12," Avdeeva said. "Everyone is pumped up."

The All-American took home her third straight victory in the 100-meter dash with a new school record time of 11.23 seconds. KANSAS KANSAS KELAYS 5545 Anderson's finish in the 100-meter dash was similar to the 4x400-meter relay.

KANSAS KANSAS RELAYS 5545 KANSAS RELAYS "She's very special" he said. "She brings a level of excitement and a level of 'I can do that' to the rest of the team.

She dominated the race, leading the majority of the distance. Joining Anderson in the 100-meter dash was junior Victoria Howard. She placed third in the event, winning the first section of two with a time of 11.63 seconds. Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird Also successful for Kansas was senior Crystal Manning. She won the women's triple jump and placed fourth in the long jump. On the women's side of the event, senior Kate Sultanova placed second with her pole-vault of 4.05 meters. This weekend the Jayhawks travel to Des Moines, Iowa, for the Drake Relays. Events begin on Thursday. "I wasn't satisfied," she said of her performance in the triple jump. "I didn't reach my goal. I was happy that I won, but I didn't reach my goals." Unlike Manning, senior Julius Jiles did not win his event, but did run a new personal best time in the 110-meter hurdles. Jiles competed in the invitational division, running against a field of professional athletes. He was the only collegiate athlete in the field. Jiles' time of 13.69 seconds was good enough for third place. Also successful for the Kansas men was sophomore Jordan Scott. He placed second in college invitational division behind former All-American Ray Scotten. Scott had his best pole-vault of the year with an impressive 5.20 meters (17 feet, three-fourth inches).

ASSOCIATED PRESS Weston White/KANSAN Kansas meet warms up Olympic hopefuls BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com Fans at the 81st annual Kansas Relays were treated to an Olympic preview Saturday afternoon as some of America's best athletes were in action in the invitational competitions. With the U.S. Olympic trials set to start on June 27 in Eugene, Ore., this was the first chance this season for several Beijing hopefuls to perform at an outdoor meet. While all the athletes understand there's still a ways to go before they're ready, that didn't stop them from putting on a show. Columbia. Describing his transition from indoor to outdoor competition, Cantwell likened himself to a newborn deer trying to walk. "It's easy to get off-kilter when you haven't had a lot of ring time," Cantwell said. The distance wasn't what Cantwell was looking for — he joked that a "world record would have been nice" — but he knows what's ahead and believes he can handle it. "I'm ready now. It's just that consistency right now is the killer. That's more than enough time." Cantwell said referring to the 12 weeks leading up to the trials. "I'm right on track, and I feel really good about it." The biggest name coming into the weekend was that of Bershawn "Batman" Jackson, a 24-year-old who has won the 400-meter hurdles five out of the past six years. A competitive field was there to challenge him, but Jackson rose above everyone else with a new record time of 48.32 seconds, breaking his 2006 time of 48.34. That's the fastest outdoor season-opening time Jackson has ever run, and it's also the best time in the world this year. "It feels great to be running fast again after coming off a terrible season," Jackson said. Jackson injured his hamstring during the indoor season and called himself a bit out of shape, but after seeing Saturday's time he can't wait to see what's next in store. Jackson said that he doesn't yet own the Kansas Relays, but he'll keep running here until he does. "It means a lot to me, coming here, and you'll most definitely see me here in years to come," Jackson said. Another elite athlete on Saturday was Muna Lee, a native of Kansas City, Mo. Lee competed in a pair of relays, the 4x100 and 4x200, for her team Total Sports. Total Sports won both races, thanks in large part to Lee's anchor legs, though she was quick to defer compliments. "Those girls came out, and really did all the work, I really didn't have to do anything," Lee said. Lee enjoyed being able to see her friends and family, but similar to most other competitors, she just likes the Kansas Relays environment. "This is one of the most fun meets we've been to," Lee said. "Usually everything is so serious, and the competition is crazy, but then you come here, and you can relax and run."

That's still 87 days away. However, what you did miss — unless you were one of the estimated 13,500 people to attend the Kansas Relays — was a chance to see Bershawn "Batman" Jackson fly over hurdles and save the people of Lawrence from evil. OK, maybe not evil exactly, but this cape-less crusader was heroic in the 400-meter hurdles, dispatching his competitors with moves that deserved exclamations of BIFFI or ZLOOP! Batman crossed the line in 48.32 seconds, which was good enough for a season-opening personal best and a new Kansas Relays meet record. ASSOCIATED PRESS "Batman's back, Batman returns once again," Jackson said. "I'm back in shape, I'm back fit, and it's going to be an amazing summer." It was also the fastest 400-meter hurdle time in the world this year. "That's where I belong, on top," Jackson added. Batman had a rough 2007 season because of injuries and dealt with another hamstring injury while competing indoor this year. None of those problems have ever stopped him from conquering the Kansas Relays, though. BY TAYLOR BERN TBERN@KANSAN.COM With Saturday's victory, he has now won the event five out of the past six years and set the meet record three times. Still, Jackson wouldn't say he owns the Kansas Relays. Only 24 years-old, Jackson has already accomplished a great deal in his career. Batman won the 2005 World Outdoor, 2005 USA Indoor and 2003 USA Outdoor 400-meter hurdles Championships. Track & Field News has also ranked him in the top 10 in the world in the event every year since 2003. That's all well and good, but Batman's looking to soar even higher. "Not yet, not until you see billboards of me everywhere, then I own the meet," Jackson said. "Right now, I'm just up-and-coming." "The sky's the limit," Jackson said. "I'm one of the best hurdlers in the world, and I've proved that anything Jackson has the unique ability to express how humble he his and proclaim himself to be the greatest hurdler in the world in the same sentence, and somehow make you believe both. It's what endears him to fans and has them hollering If things go right, those fans will be yelling at their TV screens later this summer as Batman battles competitors halfway across the world. "Batman" from the stands before, during and after his races. At age 20, jackson fell short of qualifying for the 2004 Olympics. This time around, he's older, wiser and thanks to Saturday's race, he's ready for the challenge. "This is the meet where I got my confidence back," Jackson said. "This is the turning point right here." Jackson's quest started in Kansas and from the looks of it. Christopher Nolan may not be the only one with a blockbuster this summer. Jackson may have the chance to star in the 2008 Summer Olympics, which open August 8 in Beijing. .

CLEVELAND — Determined to make the Wizards swallow their words, LeBron James scored 32 points and Cleveland won Game 1 of the third consecutive first-round playoff series the Eastern Conference rivals have played. Called "overrated" by Washington's DeShawn Stevenson in the final weeks of the season, James scored 20 points in the second half to lead the defending Eastern Conference champions, who took a 1-0 lead in a best-of-seven series that appears to have a long way to go. James sat out the early part of the fourth quarter to rest a troublesome back. But once he returned to the floor, the superstar forward came through. With the score tied 84-84, James knifed his way down the lane and hit a layup between Antawn Jamison and Brendan Haywood with 1:37 remaining. Following a miss by Gilbert Arenas, James powered past Stevenson and dropped a floater with 55 seconds left in the game — and one tick to spare on the 24-second shot clock.

CHARLIE HOOGNER COURTS Rowling sues'superfan'over copyright ENTERTAINMENT 7B NEW YORK — For a time, "Harry Potter" superfan Steven Vander Ark seemed to be living a geeky dream. BY DAVID B. CARUSO ASSOCIATED PRESS His Web site — an obsessive catalog of spells, characters and creatures in J.K. Rowling's novels — was a hit among fellow fanatics. He spoke at conventions. He was a guest on NBC's "Today" show. Better still, Rowling knew who he was. She gave his site, The Harry Potter Lexicon, an award and confessed that she occasionally used its online encyclopedia as a reference. Warner Bros. invited him onto the set of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." But all that changed after a little-known publishing company, RDR Books, announced it would release a print version of the lexicon. The author and Warner Bros. sued, asking a judge to block publication on the grounds that it violated copyright law, and the case went to trial this week. The dispute has thrust Vander Ark into the middle of a closely watched case that illustrates the muddled state of copyright law enforcement when it comes to the Web. During a three-day trial that concluded Wednesday, Rowling savaged Vander Ark as a plagiarist and a thief. The author and her lawyers said they were stirred to action by the proposal to move the Potter lexicon from the Web, where it was available for free, into book form, where it would compete directly with a Potter encyclopedia that Rowling plans to write. By deciding to sell his material, Vander Ark was no longer just an enthusiastic fan, but a professional and potential competitor. Generally, the call on whether such uses are legal comes down to how much material was taken and how different the end product is from the original work. Works like Vander Ark's lexicon takes the form of an A-to-Z list of the hundreds of characters and place names from her books, followed by brief entries summarizing how they fit into the plot. There is also information on the origin of some of her characters in mythology and folklore. U. S. District Judge Robert Patterson Jr. indicated that the case could go either way and encouraged both sides to settle. He suggested that a creative negotiation might produce a book that both sides could live with. RDR Books Publisher Roger Rapoport said he was open to the idea of revisions but said that neither Warner Bros. or Rowling have indicated a willingness to compromise. A. E. H. ASSOCIATED PRESS Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling arrives at Manhattan federal court, Monday, April 14, in New York. Rowling will testify on the first day of her trial against a publisher. Rowling says her copyrights are being violated by a fan who plans to publish a "Harry Potter" encyclopedia.

The event raised money for Health Care Access Clinic, which is a non-profit organization that provides health care for those who don't have or have limited access to it. The half marathon started at 8 a.m. and the 5K at 8:05 a.m. The 5K course, which is approximately 3.1 miles, covered most of its ground on Haskell Indian Nation University's campus. The half marathon went through the Haskell campus to Massachusetts Street and through campus via Jayhawk Boulevard. Participants also ran through parts of Lawrence, such as the grave of James Naismith and Hobbs Stadium, with both races ending at Haskell Stadium. Ava Dinges, Denver junior, has run three 5K runs, but said this was her first time running in the Lawrence race and had been training for quite a while. "It wasn't bad, Dinges said. I wish I could have known the course ahead of time because of the hills. I like how it ended with the track. It made it feel like a race. It feels good to sprint at the end." Thorton Thompson, who ran the race with Dinges, said that Sunday was his first 5K run. "I'm fairly happy with my time," he said. "It would've been nice to see the course ahead of time and get more sleep. But it's a good feeling to hear people cheer at the end." Both he and Dinges had been training together and said they felt good to see their work pay off. They said they planned running in the half marathon next year. Harry Swartz, Lawrence senior, ran the race last year and took fourth place Sunday. "My time could have been better, but I'm happy with the place I got," he said. Swartz said he wanted to run in the half marathon, but hurt his knee and thought the 5K was more doable. Stephanie Gomez, Newton senior was very happy about her performance. "I was able to pace myself, and I actually beat my time by 2 minutes," she said about her performance compared to last year. Jimmy Balough, Overland Park senior, ran his first half marathon and said he thought he did great. "I was shooting for 1:30, and I actually got 1:23.30," he said. Balough said a friend talked him into trying it and had been training since February. "I thought it was well put together . A lot of my friends were in it. You couldn't ask for a better day to run," he said. "I think I came out too strong," Zimmerman said. "That's what adrenaline does to vout." The half marathon had a bit of change, Doug Zimmerman, Kansas City, Kans. junior, said. He said the runners went down the hill by Fraser Hall instead of the hill by 12th and Indiana streets. Zimmerman said he liked it but wasn't too happy with his time. Zimmerman said he definitely planned to run it again next year. Some students had a bit of experience prior to running in the event. Emily Denny, Southlake, Texas, freshman, ran the race for the first time, but said she had run cross country in high school. "Running is a familiar thing to me," she said. "I did the best I could. I'm a little sore, but it was nice to see parts of Lawrence that I've never seen before." Current and former KU athletes also participated in the half marathon. Nicole Cauzillo, Northville, Mich., senior and former KU soccer player, ran in the race just days after coming back from her trip to Ethiopia. "I feel pretty good. I'm not exhausted," she said. STRONG HALL Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN Cauzillo had been playing soccer with the Ethiopian National Soccer Team and running at 8,000 ft. altitude. Cauzillo heard about the race from one of her friends and gave it a triv. KU students and Lawrence community members run in front of Strong Hall during the Rainforest Run Sunday morning. More than 2,000 participants ran in the half marathon and SK run "There's no half-time which is unfortunate," she said, comparing the event to a soccer match. "And running while drinking water is hard, and you use a lot of your slower twitching muscles." 100 After the race, the runners were treated to food and massages. Abbey Faris, Ft. Collins, Colo., senior, had been running in more than 10.5k's and summed up the event. "It was a nice day. Everybody was motivating, the volunteers were awesome and everybody is expecting the free food," she said. — Edited by Matt Hirschfeld Participants in the 5K run and half marathon run down Jayhawk Boulevard.

KU ENDOWMENT The University of Kansas KU A Buddhist group held special prayers Sunday at a temple in Kuala Lumpur to call for a trouble-free run of the torch Monday and a peaceful Olympics. Some 300 Chinese students studying in Malaysia greeted the flame at the airport along with representatives from the National Sports Council and the police, a statement from Olympic Council of Malaysia said.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The Olympic flame arrived in Malaysia on Sunday ahead of a relay in which it will be guarded by 1,000 police watching for protests against China's Tibet crackdown and human rights record. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia BY VIJAY JOSHI ASSOCIATED PRESS "Malaysia takes this opportunity to reiterate that the Beijing The flame arrived from Bangkok on a plane dedicated to carry it to all 19 international destinations on the torch relay before it lands in Beijing for the Olympic Games' Its 10-mile route will highlight various landmarks, including the top of the Kuala Lumpur Tower, a telecommunications installation that provides a scenic aerial view of the city.

Some 1,000 policemen and commandos will be deployed along the route even though police have not received reports of any planned protests, said a police spokesman, who declined to be named citing protocol. The relay through Bangkok on Saturday was unmarried by demonstrations. China's recent crackdown in Tibet, which forcefully put down sometimes-violent demonstrations against Beijing's rule over the Himalayan region, has triggered protests and attempted disruptions of the torch relay in Paris, London and San Francisco. Growing criticism of China's human rights record has turned the Olympics into one of the most contentious in recent history. On Friday, about 30 Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated in Kuala Lumpur, calling for an end to alleged Chinese human rights abuses ahead of the Beijing Olympics. China has banned the Falun Gong spiritual movement as a dangerous cult. In Japan Sunday, a major Japanese Buddhist temple with graffiti, days after it withdrew a plan to host the torch relay in Nagano, police said. Nagano police were investigating the incident and trying to determine whether it was related to the temple's decision to pull out of the event. Zenkoji Temple was slated as the starting point for the Japan leg of the Olympic torch relay on Saturday. The temple, however, changed its mind Friday, citing security concerns and sympathy for Tibetan protesters facing a Chinese crackdown. 4 --- THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN STUDENTS TRAVEL TO BIG APPLE FOR POPE Pope makes first visit to America in New York City >> PAGE 4A SPRING GAME STANDOUTS Coach Mangino fills in offensive line gaps TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2008 WWW.KANSAN.COM POPE FRANCIS WWW.KANSAN.COM SPRING GAME STANDOUTS Coach Mangino fills in offensive line gaps PAGE1B INTERNET Web site provides class notes Students who miss class may have an opportunity to keep up with their homework.

Graphic by Tyler Doehring Construction still dots the hill overlooking Memorial stadium and some wonder if it might impede this year's commencement ceremony in May. Officials said they expected much of the construction to be gone by graduation. A different view of Commencement BY LUKE MORRIS Imorris@kansan.com The walk down Campanile Hill for commencement will look quite different this year. As graduates enter the stadium, they will see the new Anderson Family Football Complex on their left and the new football practice fields, complete with bright yellow field goal posts, on the right. A chain-link fence currently blocks a portion of the traditional commencement walkway from the Campanile to Memorial Stadium. The fence encloses the construction site of the $31-million complex, which is scheduled to be completed in July. Inside the fence, bare soil surrounds the cement walkway. This is where crews dug up ground during construction. Rachel Ulrich, Lousiburg senior, said she was disappointed with how the hill looked. "It looks really bad," Ulrich said. "I especially don't like the mud. It's going to be hard to make it down the hill in heels if the mud gets onto the sidewalk." According to associate athletics director Jim Marchiony, by the time of commencement the fence will be gone. "The hill will be re-sodded by then, and the sidewalks will be back in place, Marchiony said. He also said that the fence would be removed by commencement, allowing the graduates to take the traditional walk down the hill. "It will look very good for graduation, and nothing should prevent it from being a good ceremony." Allison Green, Manhattan senior, said she overheard a couple students who said they wouldn't walk down the hill for commencement because they didn't like how it looked. Green said that she would be there, and thought that the new complex would just require some time to get used to. "The stadium is gray and silver, and the complex looks like sandstone," Green said. Green said that when the complex was in earlier stages of construction, it looked "awful," but she was glad that the area was looking better. "As soon as they get the fence and the tractors out of the way, it should be fine," Green said. In February 2007, Warren Corman, University architect, told The University Daily Kansan that the complex was designed to fit in with the rest of campus and not to be a distraction during activities like commencement and football tailgating.

Kristin Hooda/KANSAN BY LUKE MORRIS lmorris@kansan.com lmorris@kansan.com Since Mario Chalmers' performance in the Jayhawks' national championship victory, local stores have seen a boom in the sales of jerseys bearing his number.

Hoffman said that he contacted Adidas to get some more No. 15 jerseys, but the company didn't have any left. But Adidas told him that they were in the process of printing a No.15 on some blank Kansas jerseys. "We've almost sold out in almost every size," said Janet Muggy, wife of store owner Bill Muggy. "We also carry t-shirts with players' numbers on them, and I'm out of No. 15." Hoffman said that No. 25 jerseys, worn by Brandon Rush, were also selling well. Along with No. 25, he said he still had some No. 00 and 4 jerseys, worn by Darrrell Arthur and Sherron Collins.

"If everything goes well, I think the Mario and Sherron jerseys will be very popular next year," Heins said. Heins said it was too early to determine if hed keep more No.15 jerseys in stock than he did this year, next year, should Chalmers return. 46 —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina 40 --- 2A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY APRIL 22, 2008 TUESDAY.APRIL 22,2008 quote of the day "I'm a giraffe.

Associated Press Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center Developed by and reprinted with the permission of the National Committee on Pay Equity Conditions for the doctor's release include an agreement to forfeit more than $2 million if he flees, along with executing an unsecured appearance bond of $325,000. KANSAS Gov. Sebelius vetoes abortion restriction bill Judge Donald Bostwick set a hearing on Thursday for the doctor to sign a list of conditions for his release. His order was stayed to allow parties a chance seek review of his decision. TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius vetoed a bill Monday imposing new restrictions on abortion providers and allowing lawsuits to block late-term procedures, arguing it could deny women life-saving medical care. WICHITA — A federal judge ruled Monday that a Kansas physician jailed for allegedly illegally prescribing medication can be freed on bond later this week while awaiting his trial. But abortion opponents scoffed at her arguments and said Sebelius' action showed that she held radical views. Some supporters of the bill predicted an attempt to override Sebelius' veto when the Legislature returns April 30 from its annual spring break. The ruling comes four months after Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, were arrested on a 34-count indictment linking their clinic to 56 overdose deaths. A decision on whether his wife will be released is pending results from a psychological examination. Wichita doctor can be released before trial Sebelius, an abortion rights supporter, objected most strongly to provisions allowing a patient's spouse or family members to go to court if they believed a doctor had performed or was about to perform an illegal late-term abortion. The patient herself also could sue. The measure was partly a response to allegations that Dr. George Tiller has performed illegal late-term abortions at his Wichita clinic. Tiller, among the few U.S. physicians performing such procedures, has said he follows state law. The governor said in her veto message that such a lawsuit could be filed to block a patient's abortion "even where it may be necessary to save her life." She said the bill would encourage litigation and jeopardize patients' privacy. FORT SMITH, Ark. — Police have arrested a pizza parlor manager alleging he sold marijuana out of his drive-through window in Fort Smith, Ark.

Clinton uses historical images, bin Laden for commercial campaign BY NEDRA PICKLER AND RA PICKET LIZ SIDOTI ASSOCIATED PRESS BLUE BELL, Pa. — Hillary Rodham Clinton invoked Pearl Harbor, the Berlin Wall and Osama bin Laden as she reached for a victory in Pennsylvania's Democratic presidential primary to recharge her comeback effort. Barack Obama said she would probably win but he hoped to keep it close in Tuesday's voting. Clinton made her closing arguments Monday for the biggest primary left on the election schedule. running an ad with historic images to ask voters whom they would trust most in the White House during a time of trouble. It's the same tactic she used successfully in the "3 a.m." ad she aired in the closing days of the Ohio and Texas contests last month.

FOR NEW DONORS New Web site offers downloadable notes to students who miss class INTERNET BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com Students who miss class have a new way to catch up. A new Web site, Schoolology, com, allows students to post class notes, assignments and other class materials. The site offers these services as a free download to anyone who registers. Creator Jeremy Friedman, a junior at Washington University in St. Louis, started the Web site in February with his partner Greg Mervine. They later got Ryan Hwang to help with marketing and design, and Timothy Trinidad for Web site development. Friedman said they wanted to start a site that was a collaborative space for students to be able to share knowledge, but also maintain a quality that students could rely on. Students who have uploaded something receive a small compensation every time students download their material. "By giving students monetary incentive, we can ensure a higher quality of knowledge and services," Friedman said. "We believe education is reaching a turning point," Friedman said. He also called it a part of Web 2.0, meaning a Web site that has user submitted content, such as eBay, Facebook or Wikipedia. Friedman came up with the idea in spring 2007. The site went through many redesigns and critiques before in finally went up on Feb. 25. Schoology is technically in beta, meaning its still in development. "We did not really anticipate the type of publicity we would be getting, nor did we think the Web site would grow as quickly as it did," Friedman said. He said that with the amount of people using the site and the increasing popularity, a new site design should be online in fall 2008. About 700 files are currently uploaded to the site, but none are from the University of Kansas. infringing on a professor's copyright", Moran said. He said that having notes available electronically wasn't a problem. Mike Kautsch, law professor, doesn't see anything inherently wrong with the site, as long as it doesn't do anything more than legitimate tutoring. He compared uploading notes to reference guides and students sharing notes physically. Moran said that just reading another student's notes was not the same as actually being in the classroom, and that the opportunity to ask questions and be in the presence of the professor was much more helpful. He compared Schoology to students tape recording his lectures,' which he doesn't allow. He doesn't see any problem with students sharing notes informally, but still doesn't approve of the site. Kautsch, who teaches classes on media law, also said that students shouldn't use Schoology as a crutch to cram before a test. Kautsch said the site could be a potential problem if it became an aid to not doing work and cheating and somehow getting through a course without doing the requirements. "You can't commercialize it," Moran said. Jeffery Moran, a professor with the history department, doesn't see it the same way. "It's dangerously close to The University's academic misconduct policy states in section 2.6.1 that giving or receiving of unauthorized aid on examinations or in the preparation of notebooks, themes, reports or other assignments is considered misconduct, and is punishable.

Moore said, this land belongs to "By no means is America perfect," Moore to pass on that kind of debt. "It is time that the government starts living on a budget like every American family has to," Moore said. He said he agreed with President Bush in that the federal government's first concern in spending should be to defend all Americans. "We saved the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein. We can't save the Iraqi people from the Iraqi people." DENNIS MOORE Congressman said, "but we have more rights than any country in the world, and you are so lucky to be born here." Moore said people were so concerned with political differences, they don't see that. Moore was mostly concerned that American spending was getting out of control. He said that when he went into office in 1999 the national debt was $5.3 trillion. It is now $9.4 trillion and rising. Moore said that the three most significant contributions to the national debt were Department of Defense spending, health care services — Medicare and Medicaid — and interest on the national debt itself. He said he told President Bush that as a grandfather, he felt it was wrong "They failed on September 11, 2001," Moore said, "and now we need to make sure that doesn't happen again."

Moore said that no matter how people felt about the occupation, supporting American troops was imperative. He said he worked on a bill that raised the amount of money given to families of dead soldiers from $12,000 to $100,000. Z a c h W i s d o m, Manhattan junior, said this issue touched him the most because he had family friends in the military. "No matter what we think about foreign policy," Moore said, "this shows that we value our troops." "Whether we withdraw now or in 50 years, there is still going to be violence," Moore said.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO CRIME Parents turn in teen's attack plans South Carolina student had Columbine-like intentions ASSOCIATED PRESS CHESTERFIELD, S.C. — Students arriving Monday at a small South Carolina high school faced newly installed metal detectors and extra security because a student was arrested in what authorities said was a plan to carry out a Columbine-inspired attack. Bomb-sniffing dogs checked the hallways and classrooms at Chesterfield High School, authorities said. Metal detectors were borrowed from a courthouse, and police met students at the doors. The father of one 16-year-old sophomore said the police work over the weekend gave him confidence his son was safe. "I think they're pretty much on top of it. They've had plenty of time to find anything," said parent Michael ASSOCIATED PRESS (3) which they'd retrieved after getting a delivery notice from the postal service, authorities said Monday. Police also said they discovered a disturbing journal.

The alleged plotter, Ryan Schallenberger, 18, was assigned a lawyer during a brief court hearing Monday. The teen was silent but appeared agitated, his eyes widening at the sight of cameras awaiting him when he entered in an orange jumpsuit, hands cuffed and ankles shackled. "We've had bomb threats at other schools before and we always have to take each threat seriously and I'm essentially concerned in this situation because of the documentation that the young man had and his apparent ability to actually carry out the conduct," Hodge said. Schallenberger was arrested Saturday after his parents called police because the teen had ordered 10 pounds of ammonium nitrate, Police Chief Randall Lear said Schallenberger "seemed to hate the world. He hated people different from him with good-looking girlfriends." Schallenberger was one of the top students at the high school of about 544 students and had not caused any serious problems before his arrest, principal Scott Radkin said. The school's Web site lists Schallenberger as a member of the 2007 academic bowl squad. He won an academic award from Newberry College in the last school year.

Other than the bomb-making material, no other weapons were found at his home. Lear said. Schallenberger kept a journal for more than a year that detailed his plans for a suicide attack and included maps of the school, police said. The writings did not include a specific time for the attack or the intended targets. The teen planned to make several bombs and had all the supplies needed to kill dozens, depending on where the devices were placed and whether they included shrapnel, Lear said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MIDDLE EAST Iraqi prime minister asks for debt forgiveness, opening of embassies [Image of a patient in a hospital bed receiving IV therapy] Cameraman Hameed Hashim of the Biladi TV channel is treated for gun wounds in Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, Monday. Unidentified gunmen in two speedy cars opened fire in al Rubaei street in Zayouna area of eastern Baghdad wounding three civilians including Hashim. BAGHDAD — Iraq's prime minister appealed Monday for support from his Arab neighbors, urging them to open embassies and forgive Iraqi debts as his government tries to crack down on Shiite militias in a crucial power struggle. But the government plea came as militia leaders warned more violence could await. ASSOCIATED PRESS Followers of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the biggest militia, said they could widen the battles with the government even asking supporters for blood donations to aid fighters injured during weeks of urban clashes. With tension rising, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki flew to Kuwait for a meeting today of Iraq's neighbors to discuss ways they can help Iraq's Shiite-led government as it confronts both Shiite militias and Sunni extremists including al-Qaida in Iraq. Al-Maliki said he will be looking for tangible support, including relief from Iraq's $67 billion foreign debt - most of it owed to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. "There are countries that support the political process and are opening embassies here. We need the others to open embassies here, too," al-Maliki told reporters. The direct appeal to Arab heavyweights highlights the regional dilemma posed by Iraq. Sunni Arabs have a strong stake in keeping Iraq -- which is majority Shiite — firmly in the Arab orbit as a buffer against expanding influence by Iran, the largest Shiite nation. But Arab neighbors are still leery of al-Maliki's government and the deep Iranian ties of its main backers. Al-Maliki is hoping that the ongoing crackdown against Shiite militants will allay their fears of Iranian leanings and a bias against his own Sunni population — which long held a privileged position under Saddam Hussein. But he also pointed the finger at "some nations" he claimed were supporting extremist groups and "inciting strife through the media" "There are countries that support the political process and are opening embassies here. We need the others to open embassies here. too." an apparent reference to Arab NOURI AL-MALIKI Iraqi Prime Minister satel- lite TV stations based in the Gulf which t he leaders ship here considers hostile to U. S. officials have accused Iran which will attend the Kuwait conference of supporting Shiite extremists in Iraq, an allegation the Iranians deny. the government. "I am a bewildered by the position of these nations," al-Maliki added, without specifically naming a country. "Do they want to support Iraq? Iraq has emerged from a crisis and needs to be supported." The United States, too, has pressed Arab governments to respond to security improvements In Najaf, a top Sadrist spokesman, Salah al-Obeidi, warned that open warfare was a "strong possibility" if the government did not ease the pressure on al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia. and political advances in Iraq with financial and political support. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who visited Baghdad on Sunday, is scheduled to be at the Kuwait meeting to lend support to Iraq. Al-Obebidi complained that government officials and Shiite intermediaries had offered "no serious proposals" for ending the confrontation and "we are ready for all possibilities." The government has demanded that al-Sadr disband the Mahdi Army or else the Sadrists will not be allowed to run in provincial elections this fall. Last weekend, al-Sadr, who is believed to be in Iran, threatened in a Web site statement to declare full-scale war on the U.S.-backed government if attacks on his followers continue. The crisis began nearly a month ago when al-Maliki launched a military offensive against the Mahdi Army and other Shiite militias in the southern port city of Basra. Militiamen responded by shelling Baghdad's U.S.-protected Green Zone, which houses the U.S. Embassy and offices of the Iraqi government. U.S. and Iraqi forces then laid siege to the Baghdad militia stronghold of Sadr City. The daily clashes have raised fears that al-Sadr may formally scrap the unilateral truce he declared last August — a move that American officials credit with helping dramatically reduce violence. 1 --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY APRIL 22 2008 TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2008 NEWS CRIME 5A DNA tests to sort polygamist family ties 1985 Members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints walk past sheriffs deputies as as they leave the Tom Green County Courthouse in San Angelo, Texas, Thursday. A judge has ordered DNA tests to help determine family relationships among the members of the sect involved in the 416-child custody case. BY MICHELLE ROBERTS ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANGELO, Texas — Using cotton swabs and cameras, lab technicians began taking DNA samples Monday from hundreds of children and mothers _ many in long, pioneer-style dresses _ in hopes of sorting out the tangled family relationships within the West Texas polygamist sect. A judge ordered last week that the genetic material be taken to help determine which children belong to which parents. Authorities need to figure that out before they begin custody hearings to determine which children may have been abused and need to be permanently removed from the sect compound in Eldorado, and which ones can be safely returned to the fold. State social workers have complained that over the past few weeks, sect members have offered different names and ages. Also, the children refer to all of their fathers' wives as their "mothers," and all men in their families as "uncles." The testing went on behind closed doors at the crowded coli- The collecting of DNA is likely to take 10 technicians ing, but said: "No one is trying to deceive anyone. ... It's not sinister." Instead, he said that because many of the sect's marriages are not legal. "We're not involved in the criminal investigation. That's not our objective." GREG CUNNINGHAM Child protective services most of the week, and it will be a month or more before the results are available, said Janiece Rolfe, a spokeswoman for the Texas attorney general's office. Rod Parker, an FLDS attorney, acknowledged that family names within the sect can be confus- adults and their children may legally have one name but use another within the community. The April 3 nighttime raid on the 1,700-acre compound probably frightened the children, said Ken Driggs, who has studied the sect extensively. "If somebody had taken the time to approach them in a way that was respectful, they probably would have gotten the information they needed," Driggs said. The children will be placed in group homes or other quarters until individual custody hearings can be completed by early June. Officials said they will try to keep siblings together when possible, though some polygamous families may have dozens of siblings. The testing will involve 437 children and possibly hundreds of adults. State authorities revised their count of the children from 416 as they developed better lists and discovered that not all the female members who claimed to be adults were over 18. The testing will be more far complicated than that of the typical custody or support case. In a typical custody case, "maternity is already established," Rolfe said, but in this case, researchers will have to determine the identity of both parents. Each person who submits to a test will be photographed, and the inside of his or her cheek will be swabbed to remove cells for analysis. The DNA sampling is an enormous undertaking for a state that typically tests only 1,000 children a year. Some of the adults have ordered by the state of Texas to submit to testing. Others are being asked to do so voluntarily. But how many will do that is unclear. Parker said he is afraid authorities secretly intend to use the DNA to build criminal cases. But state Child Protective services spokesman Greg Cunningham said: "We're not involved in the criminal investigation. That's not our objective." Authorities believe the sect forces underage girls into marriages with older men. MILITARY Felons recruited to meet combat troop numbers BY LOLITA C. BALDOR ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Under pressure to meet combat needs, the Army and Marine Corps brought in significantly more recruits with felony convictions last year than in 2006, including some with manslaughter and sex crime convictions. Data released by a congressional committee shows the number of soldiers admitted to the Army with felony records jumped from 249 in 2006 to 511 in 2007. And the number of Marines with felonies rose from 208 to 350. Those numbers represent a fraction of the more than 180,000 recruits brought in by the active duty Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines during the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. But they highlight a trend that has raised concerns both within the military and on Capitol Hill. The bulk of the crimes involved were burglaries, other thefts, and drug offenses, but nine involved sex crimes and six involved manslaughter or vehicular homicide convictions. Several dozen Army and Marine recruits had aggravated assault or robbery convictions, including incidents involving weapons. Both the Army and Marine Corps have been struggling to increase their numbers as part of a broader effort to meet the combat needs of a military fighting wars on two fronts. As a result, the number of recruits needing waivers for crimes or other bad conduct has grown in recent years, as well as those needing medical or aptitude waivers. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, who released the data, noted that there may be valid reasons for granting the waivers and giving individuals a second chance. But he added, "Concerns have been raised that the significant increase in the recruitment of persons with criminal records is a result of the strain put on the military by the Iraq war and may be undermining military readiness." The services use a waiver process to let in recruits with felony convictions, and many of the crimes were committed when the service members were juveniles. For example, in several of the Marine sex crime cases, the offender was a teenager involved in consensual sex with another underage teen. In one Army case, a 13-year-old who threw a match into his school locker was charged with arson and had to receive a felony waiver six years later. "Waiwers are used judiciously and granted only after a thorough review," said Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Withington. He added that "low unemployment, a protracted war on terror, a decline in propensity to serve," and the growing reluctance of parents, teachers and other adults to recommend young people go into the military, has made recruiting a challenge. Late last fall, the Pentagon quietly began looking for ways to make it easier for people with minor criminal records to join the military. The goal of that review is to make cumbersome waiver requirements consistent across the services _ the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force_ and reduce the number of petty crimes that now trigger the process. TRADE WARREN LASTY ASSOCIATED PRESS President Bush talks to visitors at Louis Armstrong International Airport in Kenner, La., Monday upon his arrival. He continued his support of the trade agreement among Canada, Mexico, and the United States that has come under pressure in congress. Bush stays optimistic about NAFTA BY DEB RIECHMANN ASSOCIATED PRESS Opening a two-day summit with Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Bush hailed the benefits of cross-border trade despite a rising protectionist sentiment on Capitol Hill. The president said that when he and Calderon were growing up, the border was poor, but today it's prospering. NEW ORLEANS — President Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon strongly defended free trade across North America on Monday, fending off anti-trade remarks that Democrats running for the White House are using to lure working class voters. "Our trade has tripled, and our economies have grown," said Bush, who decided to host the summit in New Orleans to showcase its rebirth following Hurricane Katrina. "This has been a very positive aspect for both our countries." Calderon was more specific, saying the North American Free Trade Agreement is misunderstood. Launched in 1994, the accord eliminated trade barriers "I stress this issue because recently NAFTA has come under criticism," the Mexican president said. "And I do not believe that people are realizing how many benefits NAFTA has brought, both to the United States and to Mexico." among the United States, Mexico and Canada. Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, both have threatened to pull the U.S. out of NAFTA if elected as a means to pressure Canada and Mexico to negotiate more protections for workers and the environment. Bush calls the idea isolationist and reckless. He said the far-reaching trade deal has led to the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs on both sides of the border,has offered more choices to consumers and has raised the quality of products. Clinton, D-N.Y., has made opposition to new trade deals a centerpiece of her campaign and has vowed to at least re-negotiate NAFTA, which has been blamed for moving blue collar jobs to Mexico and elsewhere. Obama, D-III., has chided Clinton about NAFTA, saying it was passed while her husband, former President Clinton, was in office. Recently in Pittsburgh, Clinton told manufacturers and union workers that her husband made mistakes related to NAFTA that she plans to fix. She said she would correct problems that have led to job losses, or would tell Canada and Mexico the United States is pulling out of the agreement. While Obama and Clinton compete in Tuesday's Democratic primary in Pennsylvania, Bush is using the summit in Louisiana as a stage to not only promote NAFTA, the world's largest trading zone, but push Congress to ratify free trade deals with Panama, South Korea and Colombia. The House recently put off a vote on the Colombia free trade pact, making it less likely that it will be approved this year. Before his meetings with Calderon and Harper, Bush attended a ceremony to reopen the Mexican consulate in New Orleans. The Mexican government closed the consulate as a cost-saving measure in 2002.

TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2008 COMMENTARY Forget finals for one music-filled night JAKE LERMAN May 14 brings with it two of the greatest musical acts on tour today. These are two of the bands whose footprints will remain in the sands of time long after we are buried beneath it. Sore ankles and a stiff neck are two common symptoms of concertgoers the day after a Wilco show. With irresistibly catchy melodies, it's impossible not to find yourself bouncing and bobbing your head when Jeff Tweedy steps up to the mic and cuts to your core with his unmistakably full vocals. Nels Cline can make his guitar weep or scream and with Glenn Kotche on the kit behind him their dynamic is unparalleled. Wilco has found a way to juxtapose its twangy country roots with experimental rock to create one monster of a band. On its newest album, "In Rainbows" Radiohead brings back their patented sound with some of its most powerful songs to date. By now, I hope you know that Finals Week is rapidly approaching. But what you may not realize is that if you live in Lawrence, you will be faced on May 14 with what may be the toughest decision you'll have to make this year: giving the tail of academia the attention it deserves or experiencing an event the likes of which may never be seen again. Thom Yorke's haunting vocals are just part of the signature sound that Radiohead has developed over its career. Johnny Greenwood's virtuosic guitar parts paired with the band's inherently unique rhythms make for earth-shattering crescendos that will keep your spine shivering for days. Radioadhead and Wilco, two of the titans of modern music, will be playing in your region on that fateful day during Finals Week. Wilco, at a recent five-day stint at the Riviera in Chicago, proved the depth and diversity of its discography by playing it in its entirety. Radiohead has consistently lived up to the buzz that persistently tails the band. This new tour is sure to be extraordinary because its following what may be the biggest album release of the decade. If you're worried about finals, consider that the memories of these tests will fade. So who to see? The decision is not an easy one, but there is no wrong way to go. That is unless you don't go at all. The closest that Radiohead is getting to our neck of the woods is the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in St. Louis. The 270 miles is somewhat of a pilgrimage, but for those truly interested in seeing one of the giants of contemporary music playing in its peak, this show will be well worth it. On the very same night, Wilco will be playing a one-of-a-kind show in Lawrence. But this is no ordinary concert. According to its Web site, Wilco will be playing an outdoor show with the stage set up near Ninth Street next to the Lawrence Arts Center. As I write this column tickets are still available, but if they are gone by the time you read this, don't give up on these shows. If you're not up for the four-hour drive to St. Louis, then go for Wilco. A Lawrence street gig is sure to be more unique and personal than anything a venue can offer. If you can't get a ticket, park a block or so from the stage, roll down your windows and listen to the slightly muffled sounds of one of the greatest living rock bands that will ever play a show like this in our town. After listening to professors ramble on about finals hullaboo, your ears will need a treat. This is not an event to be missed — that is unless you're four hours away rocking your face off at Radiohead. Don't let May 14 pass by without seeing one of these shows.

Clarke 2008 Tyler Doehrina COMMENTARY University shouldn't be diverse in grammar JENNY HARTZ Of course, exceptions are made to every rule when it comes to English, making it one of the most fun languages in the world to learn (and by "fun" I mean "incredibly frustrating"). I do not expect people to have perfect grammar every time. We acquire many valuable skills in college: procrastination skills, bargain hunting skills, napping skills, alcohol skills, Guitar Hero skills, etc. As competent as everyone assumes college kids are, it still bebuddies me how many students still do not have good grammar skills. We are all from different high schools with varying curriculums, but grammar is as basic and essential of a skill as addition. But I do expect people to know clear-cut rules, such as separating two complete sentences with a conjunction and comma. At the KU Writing Center, I see many people who do not understand this rule. In math, we have nifty calculators to check if we're wrong; however, a computer will not catch every grammar mistake. It won't catch the difference between "there" and "their." People cannot rely on technology as a substitute for knowledge. "How can this be?!?" is my first reaction. I took French and would repeatedly forget to make adjectives agree with the gender of the noun. In French, every noun is either masculine or feminine. How you are supposed to know the chair is feminine is beyond me. Maybe you are supposed to ask it or take a peak underneath it. Maybe English isn't the student's first language. What if English is the student's first language? Because he doesn't know proper grammar, can we assume he is lazy and dumb? Or does he not know the rules because he is an engineering major and grammar is only for English majors? After all, no one wants to be rejected for a job because her cover letter reads, "I would love to work hear. I is a good leader and I has got some experience. I work good with others and do other things good two." I don't think students consciously choose to not learn proper grammar. We all understand the value of grammar to effectively communicate our ideas with each other. University claims. It is not fair for the University to assume everyone has the same skills if we are as diverse as the Part of the problem is the education system has failed us. Too many of us have gotten off easy from teachers who do not penalize us for using bad grammar. Teachers across all disciplines should hold proper grammar as a standard. If the education system would continue to teach and emphasize grammar throughout every grade level, the rules would be fresh in their minds. I can be competent at math, but I always need a refresher of the rules because my mind works in such a way that I am better at writing word problems than solving them. There is nothing wrong with reviewing the basics before forging ahead to more complex work. Without a solid foundation, a building will fall apart. Without basic grammar, academic work will not be able to stand on its own. The other part of the problem is that students have not taken the time to learn the skills on their own if their educators have failed to do so, or they have been too lazy to review the rules when their minds get rusty. Just because your parents don't teach you how to balance a checkbook doesn't mean you will never learn how. You know you need the skill so you take up the incentive to find out on your own. If both students and teachers would work together on the grammar issue, we could all learn to write good and do other things good too. And then we can live goodly ever after. Although it is hard to learn on your own when you don't have solid, basic knowledge of grammar.

Hosted by Ben Stein, the film claims that educators and scientists are being persecuted for their belief that ID is evident in nature. The audience is bombarded with images of the Berlin Wall, Holocaust mass graves and the downtrodden citizenry of totalitarian regimes. The result of the edited slices is a politicized rant that fails to note the vital distinction between Herbert Spencer's long-discredited social darwinism and modern evolutionary theory as applied to the natural sciences and not human morality. But instead of being an investigative inquiry that highlights the arguments, this film presents a ridiculous caricature of the scientific community bent on quashing free speech for the sake of protecting a falling ideology. Stein, in his signature deadpan style, attempts to portray a group of disgruntled researchers as the victims of a Darwinian conspiracy for their roles in promoting ID instead of dealing with the real issue responsible for their professional failures — shoddy science. Curiously, "Expelled" does not even provide an adequate description of modern evolutionary theory, the very paradigm that is being contested in this film. Perhaps the most important question that is never addressed in "Expelled" is whether or not ID is actually science. Stein argues that ID is being kept out of science curriculum in an attempt to stifle independent thought. However, the ID program appeals to an unknown cosmic designer or supernatural power to explain biological variation, neither of which can be directly observed nor tested in an empirical fashion. Thus, ID is not science. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Send letters to the editor by e-mail to kansanopdesk@gmail.com. Letters should include the author's name, grade and hometown.

Kristin Hoppa/KANSAN "I wanted to be a college basketball coach, and if you can't play at this level, then this is next best thing," Refilly, who played high school basketball at St. Thomas Aquinas in Overland Park said. "I thought I knew a lot about basketball, but I had no idea," Reilly said. "The amount of knowledge I pick up from coach Manning and coach Self, just being around them, it's unbelievable." As part of his managing job, Reilly worked at 37 Kansas basketball games this year, including the Jayhawks' championship victory. The Jayhawks finished 37-0 with Reilly in attendance. When Reilly missed three Big 12 conference road games, the team went 0-3. It started in late January, when Reilly didn't make the trip to Kansas State, and the Jayhawks suffered their first loss.

Mangino made significant changes in the offensive line. Offensive duo shows progress BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com After watching his team's usually efficient offense trudge up and down the field against the second-string defense in last week's spring game, Mark Mangino wasn't visibly upset. In fact, the Kansas coach seemed fairly pleased with one development: Two starting offensive tackles, freshman Jeff Spikes and senior Matt Darton, may have finally emerged for the Jayhawks. "I think the way we finished the scrimmage with the blue team, with Spikes at left tackle and Darton at right tackle, protected the quarterback better," Mangino said. "Certainly with three new faces on the offensive line, we knew that would be a little bit of an issue tonight, but we may have found the right combination, and that's something that we're pleased with." Jake Sharp and provided time in the pocket for junior quarterback Todd Reesing. Mangino made several adjustments at halftime of the spring scrimmage. He moved Spikes to the first squad and shifted Darton to the right side of the realignment. This helped open up holes for junior running backs Angus Quigley and "We've used all different types of combinations," Mangino said. "We've moved them around a little bit. We feel really good about Spikes right now at left tackle and Darton at right tackle." The new bookends of the Kansas line are faced with the task of replacing two of the most heralded players of the Mark Mangino era. Former left tackle Anthony Collins, who left for the NFL Draft after his junior season, earned unanimous first team All-America honors. Former right tackle Cesar Rodriguez, who graduated, started 28 consecutive games. Spikes, the projected starter at left tackle, is a 6-foot-6, 314 pound, carbon copy of Collins. The Painesville, Ohio, native earned praise from Mangino for his effort in bowl-season practices, and helped pave the way for the Blue offense's only touchdown of the spring game early in the fourth quarter. "He is going to make some mistakes, because he's a freshman, but he's competitive," Mangino said. "He's a big, strong guy for a guy who's just a freshman. He will give you everything he has.

Darton is a fifth-year senior who started one game last season in place of Collins. The 6-foot-6, 310 pound, San Diego native has steadily worked his way up the depth chart during his time at Kansas, and could finally have a shot at a steady starting job. "Darton, since he has been here, has worked both sides," Mangino said. "I think he's more comfortable at right - I think he belongs there." Kansas returns all three starters on the interior of its offensive line. Senior center Ryan Cantrell, who started all of last season, missed spring practices because of a leg injury but should be healthy by fall. Senior guards Adrian Mayes and Chet Hartley each had a starting spot last season and excelled as run-blockers. -Edited by Patrick De Oliveira BASEBALL PREVIEW Wretched Wichita streak continues BY SHAWN SHROYER sshroyer@kansan.com What was becoming an in-state rivalry is on the verge of turning into an in-state monopoly. After going 4-5 against Kansas the first nine meetings after Ritch Price became the Jayhawks' coach, No.14 Wichita State (30-7) has reeled off four straight victories against Kansas (25-18). Wichita State won the first game of this year's two-game season series, 7-3, on April 1 at Hoglund Ballpark. But Kansas gets its chance at revenge tonight at 7 p.m. at Eck Stadium. "We've got to beat them at their place," senior shortstop Erik Morrison said. "We're down a game under .500 with them in my four years here and I've got to go out on top with at least a four-year split with them." In the first meeting of the season, Kansas jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first inning, but was shut out the final eight innings while Wichita State scored seven runs during the final seven innings. The Shockers had eight hits in the game, but third baseman Connor Gillaspie didn't need any to drive in runs. Although he went 1-for-4, his three RBI came on three groundouts. Gillaspie leads the Shockers with a .393 average, 43 RBI and a .600 slugging percentage. Kansas totaled only five hits in the game. One was a two-run home run by senior right fielder Ryne Price. Price had another hit in the game to account for most of the Kansas offense. He has not been alone on offense though. Morrison and senior left fielder John Allman both had two hits apiece in each game of last weekend's series with No. 8 Nebraska. Junior catcher Buck Afenir also had at least one hit in each game of the series, going a combined 6-for-9 with three runs, four RBI and his sixth home run of the season. In its first meeting with Wichita State, Kansas struggled to adjust to the Shockers' pitching strategy. Throughout the night, Shocker pitchers used offspeed pitches and breaking balls early in the count and fast-balls later in the count. The result was 14 strikeouts for the Wichita State staff. Fleming's counterpart will be sophomore left-hander Shaeffer Hall, who started against the Shockers the first time around. That night he was roughed up for three runs in four innings on three hits and three walks. Hall (2-1) enters tonight's game with a 5.40 ERA and 3 strikeouts to 12 walks. Kansas scored 18 runs during the weekend and used only two pitchers to take the final game of the weekend. So, with his offense up and running and his bullpen fresh, Price realizes now is the time to revive the rivalry between the Jayhawks and Shockers. Right-hander Tyler Fleming came in to close the game and he struck out three of the five Jayhawks he faced, allowing a hit and earning the save. But tonight, Fleming (2-1) will get the start for Wichita State. He has a 2.32 ERA on the season and 19 strikeouts to five walks. 31 "It's important that we stop that streak and set some momentum for the weekend," Price said. KANSAS SCHEDULES MAKE UP GAMES To make up for the games that were rained out in the Florida Spring Classic, Kansas has added two midweek games to its schedule. Sophomore second baseman Robby Price turns a double play assisted by short stop Erik Monterson Tuesday night against Wichita State University. The Jayhawks lost 7-3 to the Shockers Tuesday giving up eight hits. This Wednesday at 6 p.m. Kansas will play host to Kansas Wesleyan and April 30, Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO it will welcome Ottawa University for a 1 p.m. game. PAGE1B — Edited by Nick Mangiaracina COMMENTARY Spring game brings no worries for Mangino BY ASHER FUSCO AFUSCO@KANSAN.COM - making two tackles after throwing interceptions. Reesing's corps of receivers didn't help him out by dropping several catchable passes, and the team's running backs didn't do much in the way of blocking. At first glance, Kansas looked downright shoddy in last week's spring game. The offensive line that routinely bowled over opponents last season leaked like a sieve. The Jayhawks' normally-swash-buckling junior quarterback Todd Reesing made his most impressive plays on defense But what sportswriters and fans interpreted as four quarters of ugliness, Kansas coach Mark Mangino seemed to like. Mangino, intense even on the best of days, didn't condemn his starting offense's 17-point, hit-or-miss effort. Instead, he quietly gave credit where credit was due. "Defensively, we looked sharp - as I've said all along, we have a chance to have a pretty doggone good defense again," Mangino said. "We're looking for depth on defense, and I think we're finding that in several kids who are going to play a lot." Heading into a season in which the Jayhawks will attempt to replace first-team All-American cornerback Aqib Talib and second-team All-American defensive tackle James McClinton, the defense's strong showing against a proven offense is reason for optimism. Best of all, Kansas' new defensive coordinator, Clint Bowen, didn't give the defense much of a makeover. Just like last year, the Jayhawks lined up in a 4-3 set for most of the scrimmage. Just like last year, Kansas filled gaps and flawlessly executed the fundamentals. And just like last year, Kansas shut its opponent down – only this time, it held serve against the offense that led the Big 12 in scoring last season. "We have been grooming Clint to take over as defensive coordinator here because we knew that eventually Bill Young was getting close to retirement," Mangino said. "A lot of the things you saw on the field last year were not only Bill Young's stuff, but Clint Bowen's, too. He's had a major influence on our defense - schemes, everything. I think the transition has gone very well." That Kansas' defense has displayed continuity even after losing former defensive coordinator Bill Young shouldn't come as a surprise. Bowen spent the last two seasons as the team's co-defensive coordinator and has coached the Jayhawk safeties for five years. In the absence of senior linebacker Joe Mortensen and junior safety Justin Thornton, each a projected starter, youngsters Justin Springer and Phillip Strozier played capably. Springer, a sophomore linebacker, probably won't pry Mortensen's starting job away this season, but his 6-foot-4, 232-pound frame should give Kansas fans something to look forward to. Strozier, a sophomore safety, seemed comfortable and didn't make any major miscues - the mark of a good defensive back. Senior cornerback Kendrick Harper, the favorite to step into Talib's spot, made one of the most important plays of the spring scrimmage when he returned a fumble recovery 23 yards for a touchdown. Freshman defensive tackle Richard Johnson, jr., proved why he was the frontrunner to inherit McClinton's job by making three tackles and displaying impressive strength for a player just shy of 280 pounds. Senior linebacker Mike Rivera echoed Mangino's sentiments and said that Bowen's youth - he graduated from Kansas in 1994 - helped him connect with the players on a personal level. With the same basic schemes, an infusion of new players at several positions and fresh blood at defensive coordinator, the 2008 Kansas defense could be special. The slugfest of a spring game may have been tough for casual observers to stomach, but if Mangino wasn't worried, there probably isn't much to get worked up about. With last year's 12-1 record as a witness, the man knows a thing or two about football. 10 1 Edited by Mandy Earles C (4) --- 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2008 trivia of the dav Q: When was the last time the Philadelphia 76ers were in the NBA Playoffs?

After a major Buddhist temple backed out of the event because of security concerns and sympathy for Tibetans, Olympic officials were forced to come up with an alternate location. Japan moves Olympic torch relay to new parking lot site On Friday, Buddhist monks at the centuries-old Zenkoji temple refused to host the start of the relay, which has been a magnet for critics of China's human rights record and its recent crackdown in Tibet after anti-government riots there. TOKYO — Japan has decided to start the upcoming Olympic torch relay in a parking lot, officials said Monday, after a major Buddhist temple backed out of the event over security concerns and sympathy for Tibetans. Nagano city officials now plan to start the April 26 leg of the run at a city-owned parking lot, said Yuya Kobayashi at the city planning committee for the relay. The new site is part of a government district about half a mile from the initial site and would not affect the distance of the relay or security planning. Kobavashi said. ASSOCIATED PRESS "We were pressed for time but were able to find an alternative site nearby," he said. "Fortunately, we hardly have to change our initial plans." Vandals over the weekend spray painted the temple with white paint after it announced it would not host the relay's start, though officials would not say whether the two events were related. In Malaysia on Monday, 1,000 police stood ready to guard the relay against protests. A Buddhist group held special prayers at a Kuala Lumpur temple for a trouble-free torch run and a peaceful Olympics in August. Since protesters disrupted the torch's stops in London, Paris and San Francisco, its more recent legs in South America, Africa and Asia have been relatively troublefree. JAKARTA, Indonesia - Fear of protests results in invitation-only torch relay Indonesia will stage a shortened, invitation-only Olympic torch relay under heavy security Tuesday to thwart any anti-China protests, organizers said. The steps were taken after pressure from the Chinese Embassy, organizing committee head Sumohadi Marsis told a media conference Monday. The event was originally scheduled to follow a route through the center of the capital, Jakarta, but will now take place on streets outside a sports stadium, he said. Marsis said around 5,000 guests would watch the 4-mile relay, but that members of the public would be barred. "We have to make it limited," he said. The relay will not be televised live, apparently because no station was prepared to pay for the rights, Marsis said. Criticism of China's human rights record has turned the Olympics into one of the most contentious in recent history. Protests have dogged the torch relay during its stops in Paris, London and San Francisco. with demonstrations over China's crackdown in Tibet where it forcefully put down anti-government riots. On Monday, police arrested three members of a Japanese family during the relay in Malay- sla after they waved a Tibetan flag, police and witnesses said. The only other country to make the event invite-only so far was Pakistan, which cited security fears. Police in Indonesia had warned of possible protests by pro-Tibet activists, Falun Gong spiritual movement practitioners and others. Marsis said 2,500 police officers will be on duty.

Mark Dent Tough competition benefits team >>ROWING Coach happy with victories, sees significant improvements from regatta BY BEN ASHWORTH bashworth@kansan.com The Kansas rowing team returned to action in the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta, held on Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Kansas provided impressive competition to a regatta featuring squads from schools such as Purdue, Grand Valley State, Kansas State, Tulsa, Southern Methodist University, Alabama, Jacksonville and Louisville, among others. The races took place Saturday and Sunday, with the semifinals taking place on Saturday and the finals on Sunday. The Jayhawks entered five boats into the semifinals and successfully had four of those boats advance to the finals. The Second Novice Eight was the only boat not to qualify. On Saturday, two boats won their respective heats while two others had impressive showings. The Varsity Four boat and the First Novice Eight claimed victories while the Second Varsity Eight finished second and the First Varsity Eight third. Despite being third, the First Varsity Eight came in with the second fastest time in school history. The Sunday races featured stiffer opposition, resulting in no first or second place finishes, but coach Rob Catloth was not discouraged. "We made improvements over last week; our times against Kansas State were improved upon. It was good for us to have that high level of competition." The First Varsity Eight Innisheu fourth behind the winning boat, Purdue, by only four seconds with a time of 6:51.50. This event was considered to be the premier event of the entire regatta. The Varsity Four came in third behind Emory and Stetson with a time of 8:16.00. The First Novice Eight came in third as well, finishing at 7:04.90, just three seconds behind the winner Grand Valley State. Both third place finishes earned medals. Finally, the Second Varsity Eight placed fourth with a time of 7:07.21. The winner of that competition was Kansas State. Each final that the Jayhawks participated in consisted of the six boats with the best performances from Saturday. Also competing were many men's rowing teams from schools such as Duke and Clemson. Kansas does not field a University sponsored men's rowing team. The overall winner of the regatta was the University of Purdue, which won both the women's and men's competitions. The SIRAs served as preparation for the South-Central Regionals, which will take place in the same waters on May 17 and 18. The team will compete in the cold waters of Minnesota coming up on Saturday, April 26. "Minnesota is a top 20 team," Catloth said. "But we have increased our speed and experience." This will be the team's final regatta before the Big 12 Invitational in Austin, Texas. Cardinals 8 MLB Cardinals eager for results from offseason trade St. Louis Cardinals' player Troy Glaus toses his batting helmet after striking out to end the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Colorado Rockies in St. Louis April 1. Three weeks into the season the Cardinals are still waiting, patiently for the most part, for the big bat that will solidify the middle of the lineup after trading Scott Rolen to the Toronto Blue Jays for Glaus in the offseason. —Edited by Sasha Roe ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — So far, the St. Louis Cardinals have the better of the Rolen-for-Glaus third baseman swap by default. Of course, Scott Rolen is on the disabled list with a broken finger and hasn't played an inning. Troy Glaus is playing, but sporadically. Three weeks into the season the Cardinals are still waiting, patiently for the most part, for the big bat that will solidify the middle of the lineup. "He just went through a road trip where he had some big hits, and I don't discount those days just like I don't ignore the fact he's had some days where he's still not himself consistently," manager Tony La Russa said. "Overall, I think he's been a good player." Glaus, a four-time All-Star and 2002 World Series MVP, also exercised patience while awaiting his first home run and batting a lightweight. .242 with five doubles and 10 RBIs in 19 games. He's not, by a long shot, the only struggling star in the early going. Just don't ask him about the extra pressure trying to get his season rolling, perhaps complicated by moving to a new team that is aware of the numbers but hasn't seen it aside from the occasional highlight clip. "No offense, but I think that's one of the stupidest comments I've heard in my life," Glaus said. "People say, 'Are you trying too hard?' Hell yeah, I'm trying hard. We're all trying hard. But I think it's impossible to try too hard, I really do." La Russa isn't so sure about that. He watched le斗itter hitter Skip Schumaker begin to press after three straight hitless games to open the year, and discussed the burden of expectations carried by the Brewers' Prince Fielder, who led the majors with 50 homers last year and finally got his first to beat the Cardinals last week in extra innings. an issue for Glaus, given this is his third team in four years. "I just think he gets impatient," La Russa said. "But home runs come because you swing good, and he's done a lot of work. When it happens, the hits are going to come and the home runs are going to come." Glaus, who hit 38 homers for the Blue Jays in 2006 and has three other 37-plus seasons, said the issue was not more complicated than getting his timing down. Some days he feels good, other days not as good. Glaus had 20 homers and 62RBIs last year while hobbled by foot problems blamed on artificial turf in Toronto that limited him to 115 games and required surgery. His reputation took a hit with reports linking him to steroid shipments in 2003 and 2004 earlier this month and in the Mitchell Report. No doubt, it can't help that he also entered this year under a cloud of suspicion, and coming off an injury-shortened season. MARATHON Kenyan man, Ethiopian woman take first in race Robert Cheruiyot earns his fourth victory in Boston "This was the hardest," Cheruiyot said. "Boston is not a very easy course, it's very difficult. (But) I enjoy running the hills." Although he checked hi BY JIMMY GOLEN ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Robert Cheruiyot is well-versed in the Boston Marathon course, with four victories in five trips from Hopkinton to the Back Bay. Abderrahime Bouramdane visited for the first time on Monday, learning what thousands before him have come to understand as they reached Heartbreak Hill, 20 miles in. "Up," he said, "is the problem." Cheruiyot pulled away from Bouramdane as they entered the Newton Hills, reaching the crest of Heartbreak Hill with a 27-second lead and coasting to the sixth-fastest time in Boston Marathon history. Dire Tune outkicked Alevtina Bikimirova after a back-and-forth last mile to win by 2 seconds in the closest finish in the history of the women's race. Cheruiyot, of Kenya, and Tune, of Ethiopia, each earned a recently enhanced prize of $150,000 — the biggest in major marathon history. Cheruiyot won in two hours, seven minutes, 46 seconds to become the fourth man to win the race four times. After crossing the finish line, he dropped to his knees to kiss the ground before standing up and counting off his four victories with an upraised arm. Although he repeatedly checked his watch as he ran alone for the last miles, Cheruiyot did not challenge the course record of 2:07:14 he set two years ago. His problem: No one to race with. "It's very difficult when you're running alone here in Boston," he said. "You need company" Tune, who finished in 2:25:25 was the first Ethiopian woman to win since Fatuma Roba won three straight from 1997-99. She ran side-by-side with Biktimirova into Kenmore Square, and appeared to give up an edge when she nearly missed one of the final turns. Tune quickly composed herself and took the lead before the last turn, but Biktimirova caught her and regained the lead briefly. Tune pulled ahead for the good on Boyston Street in the last few city blocks and beat the Russian to the line. "I was fighting until the end," Biktimirova said, "And in the end I just didn't have enough speed." The previous closest women's finish came two years ago, when Rita Jeptoo beat Jelena Prokopcuka by 10 seconds. Jeptoo finished third this year, 69 second behind Tune. Cheruiyot's third straight victory gave Kenya its 15th men's title in 17 years; Kenyans also finished sixth through ninth. But Cheruiyot's countrymen struggled more than usual overall, with just the one man in the top five — the fewest since 1992 — and one woman in the top 10. 》 MLB 7 St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Ryan Ludwick misses a ball hit by Milwaukee Brewers' Corey Hart during the eighth inning of an MLB game Monday in Milwaukee. The Cardinals won 4-3. Cardinals pitcher makes return after elbow injury ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE — Cardinals right-hander Russ Springer was activated from the disabled list Monday before St. Louis' game with the Milwaukee Brewers. Springer was sidelined with nerve irritation in his elbow after he allowed hits to all three batters ASSOCIATED PRESS he faced on April 4. The 39-year-old reliever has made three appearances this season and has a 13.50 ERA. To make room for Springer, the Cardinals optioned infielder Rico Washington to Triple-A Memphis. Washington was a surprise addition to St. Louis' opening day roster after spending 11 years toilling as a minor leaguer. By the time he played a game with the Cardinals, he had been in 1,134 games and had 3,980 at-bats in the minor league systems of Pittsburgh, San Diego, Tampa Bay and St. Louis. But he's struggled in limited at-bats this season, going 3-for-19 with two doubles and two runs scored.

FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri basked in the glow of its first 12-win season on Saturday, with the Black and Gold intersquad scrimimage that concluded spring workouts nationally televised and drawing 84 a crowd about twice as large as previous years. Missouri's Jeff Wolfert, right, kicks a field goal out of the hold of Tommy Saunders during the first half of the annual Black and Gold spring football scrimmage Saturday in Columbia, Mo. Wolfert had two field goals of more than 50 yards during the scrimmage.

The weather wasn't great, so that really says something about our fan base, that they're out here to support us."

"Different teams around the country have this times two or three at their spring game and that's what we want to do. "This was the dream that Coach Pinkel sold us when he was recruiting us." Pinkel said there's plenty of hard work yet to go, and has pushed players throughout the spring to keep challenging themselves. The goal is a repeat Big 12 North title. "There's more of an air of confidence around us," Daniel said. "That's good. It's not cockiness, it's confidence." Pinkel judged the No.1 offense and defense even, despite the first string's success moving the ball in the first half. Jeremy Maclin caught a 15-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive and Jared Perry had an 11-yarder, and kicker Jeff Wolfert showed off a strong leg with field goals of 53 and 51 yards although he did not have to contend with a rush. defense, needing only to replace nose tackle Lorenzo Williams, but has some health concerns.

Gary Chandler picked off Freeman's second pass of the game. higher test scores guaranteed or your money back For a defense that finished the 2007 season in a huge slump, Saturday's game might have been the first step to regaining its swagger. "The plan was that Josh would get a quarter" Prince said. "I really wanted to see Tysyn, to see Carson (Coffman). We're pretty well established on what Josh can do. ... As you can imagine, Josh was lobbying pretty hard on the sideline to get back in. But I wanted to see what Tysyn could do." The Purple team had two good opportunities to score during the game, but came up empty on both tries. On the first drive Coffman drove his team 54 yards, but that drive ended when Courtney Herndon forced tight end Jeron Mastrud to fumble at the 1-yard line. Later in the first half, the Purple team blew another opportunity when Jared Parker mishandled a snap on a 45-yard field goal attempt. Kicker Brooks Rossman ended up getting sacked near midfield, and then was flagged with a 15-yard penalty for spiking the ball after the play.

Nearing the end of what he calls his most satisfying regular season, Bryant is among the leading candidates to be named Most Valuable Player. BY JOHN NADEL ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant made clear Monday what's been, at the very least, a bit ambiguous for nearly a year. He wants to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers and is open to finishing his career with them. "Absolutely," Bryant said the day after the Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets 128-114 in their playoff series opener. "I've always wanted to be here. I just felt like I was in a position where I didn't really have a choice. They wanted to go in an opposite direction. My legs aren't as young as they used to be. Just let me know." "I love the weather. I love my '63 drop-top Impala. I love the 405 (freeway). I love my guys." Bryant acknowledged he wouldn't have imagined things would have turned out this way late last May, when he publicly called the Lakers' front office a mess and demanded a trade, feeling he had been misled when he signed a seven-year, $136.4 million contract in July 2004. The Lakers haven't won a playoff series since. "I've been sitting on this for four years now," he said. "After three or four years of not getting anything done, to see it today, it feels pretty damn good. It's been a hell of a ride." Bryant and Lakers owner Jerry Buss met in Barcelona a few weeks after his trade demand, and he again told Buss he wanted out. Then, understanding the difficulty of trading someone of his ability, Bryant said all the right things entering training camp in October, but the peace was broken a few weeks later when Buss said he would "certainly listen to trade offers." The situation was tenuous at best when the season began, and stories circulated throughout November concerning potential trade possibilities. The speculation stopped, Bryant stayed and the Lakers flourished, going 57-25 to earn the No.1 seed in the Western Conference. The 29-year-old Bryant, a leading candidate to win his first MVP award, has stated on several occasions that his 12th NBA season has been the most enjoyable, and did so again Monday. He said he hasn't necessarily changed his mind about wanting to stay instead of wanting to leave. "No, I just don't talk about it," Bryant said. "These are answers I've given all year long. I love this team. If they want to win right now, I'm all for them. That's all I've said the whole time. We have a job to do here, so it's important to focus on what we're doing and not get distracted from that. "I don't want any big stories. The journey we've been on is fun. It's been a blast. With that being said, we play for titles. We want to win the championship. We'll be disappointed if we don't. But if it does happen, we'll regroup and go at it again. We've got some great pieces here. Now it's time to put it all together. We get that big fellow (Andrew Bynum) back down there and we'll really be rolling." Bryant is under contract through the 2010-11 season, but can opt out after next season. He said he hasn't thought about that. He opted out four years ago before signing a new contract. Bryant said in his book, general manager Mitch Kupchak has gone from an "F" to an "A-plus." "He believed in the draft picks he made, he had the patience," Bryant said. Among the draft picks who have made significant impacts since Shaquille O'Neal was traded following the 2004 season are Bynum, Sasha Vujacic, Jordan Farmar and Ronny Turif. And this season, there were the trades for Trevor Ariza and Pau Gasol. Ariza hasn't played since breaking his foot Jan. 20, but Gasol has been brilliant. "I just think his skill set at his size is unmatched in this league," Bryant said of Gasol, who had 36 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists in Game 1. Bryant said he didn't push if he thought he helped push Kupchak OLYMPICS "Maybe. It takes pressure sometimes to make a diamond," Bryant said with a smile. "In hindsight, and say I planned it all along." yeah, that was my strategy. I'm going to get my Phil jackson on Torch shines on despite protests in Malaysia BY VIJAY JOSHI ASSOCIATED PRESS KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The Olympic flame was carried through blistering sun, torrential rain and isolated protests in Malaysia on Monday, completing another segment of its global relay that has become a magnet for demonstrations against China. A Japanese man, his sister and her 5-year-old son were heckled and roughed up by Chinese nationals when they unfurled a Tibetan flag before the start of the heavily guarded relay in Kuala Lumpur. Police detained the Japanese but released them without charges after about six hours. The Chinese were not detained. At one point in the relay, a Western man wearing a T-shirt reading "Beijing Torches Human Rights" rushed forward shouting "Shame, shame, shame." He was hustled away by police but not arrested. A British woman wearing a "Free Tibet" T-shirt and a foreign Buddhist monk were also detained and later released. Criticism of China's human rights record has turned the Olympic torch run ahead of the Aug. 8-24 Beijing Olympics into one of the most contentious in recent history. Protests dogged the relay during its stops in Ancient Olympia, Greece, Paris, London and San Francisco, with demonstrators protesting China's crackdown on anti-government riots in Tibet.

The 57-year-old Welmer officiated 124 games last season, more than any other referee in the United States. MAN BY B.J. RAINS bjrains@kansan.com 3 K O'Rei 2016 FAN It is barely five o' clock on a cold January morning and Steve Welmer is already in his rental car in the small college town of Bloomington, Ind. Welmer is on his way to the airport, needing to catch the first flight so he can arrive in Lawrence by late-morning. Welner is refereeing ESPN's Big Monday game between the Kansas Jayhawks and Oklahoma Sooners that night. While surveying the action in the paint, Welmer reaches down and tugs his pants, first pulling them up in the back before giving them a pull in the front. It's something that he does almost every time down the floor, a habit that along with his balding head and 6-foot-10-inch, 240-pound frame, makes him one of the most recognizable referees in college basketball. While most men his age are watching the game from their easy chair, the 57-year-old Welmer stands at center court, his outstretched arm holding the ball nine feet in the air as he prepares to throw the jump. As one of his trademarks, he holds the ball high with his right hand before pushing it up another four feet into the air to start the game. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur wins the tip for Kansas and another night of basketball is underway. After running up and down the court for two hours with players less than half his age and hearing few complaints from players, coaches and fans, Welmer grabs some chicken strips from a drive-thru, heads back to his hotel and goes to bed. He must wake up in five hours to head back to the airport, this time heading to Denver to referee the Colorado-Nebraska game the next night. From November through March, it's a nomadic life with a rigorous daily routine for one of the most respected officials in the business. Though he works more games each season than any other referee, Welmer's seasons have all ended short of the goal that everyone in college basketball shares. While he looks forward to relaxing and playing golf near his Florida home, he would rather work at least one more week and get to call a game at his first Final Four. After completing his 27th season of officiating at the Division I level, Welmer is a popular choice of conference coordinators, who battle to have him officiate as many of their games as possible. The result for Welmer was a schedule that featured 124 games this past season—more than any referee in the United States. It was the 14th consecutive year that Welmer led all Division I referees in games officiated, something he said he took great pride in. SETTING THE SCHEDULE Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Coordinators for 10 conferences, including the Big 10, Big 12, Conference USA, Mountain West, Western Athletic Conference, Sun Belt, Horizon and Missouri Valley Conference, send Welmer a tentative game of games every August for the upcoming season. Welmer then arranges the schedules on a master calendar with a U.S. map to plan his season. Welmer looks for locations that let him ref a cluster of games in the same area. Once he decides which games he can work, he sends the list back to the conference coordinators so they can offer the other games to other officials.

ODD NEWS Louisiana Senate rejects state ban on saggy pants BATON ROUGE, La. — A state Senate panel rejected a bill on Tuesday that would make it a crime to wear one's pants too low, even as Cajun-country towns around Louisiana have been banning saggy pants from their streets. Sen. Derrick Shepherd's bill would have made it illegal to wear, in public, clothing that "intentionally exposes undergarments or intentionally exposes any portion of the pubic hair, cleft of the buttocks or genitals." Violators would have faced a fine of up to $175 and eight days of community service. Exceptions included thong swim suits and clothing worn in fashion shows.

The recent athletic success may give the University a boost in admissions applications as well. A study done by researchers at Virginia Tech and the University of Pennsylvania gave proof to the widely held belief that the more athletic success a school has, the more applications they'll receive. Jaren Pope, an assistant professor of applied economics at Virginia Tech, completed the study with his brother, Devin, an assistant professor at Pennsylvania's Wharton School. According to the study, an NCAA Championship in basketball is likely to result in a 7 to 8 percent increase in applications the following year. Lee Furbeck, associate director of admissions and scholarships at the University, said she did not anticipate an increase until the 2009-2010 school year. "Most of our enrollment deadlines had passed before they won the championship," Furbeck said. The study gives quantifiable evidence to the myth that has been called the "Flutie effect," after Boston College was flooded with applications following its Doug Flutie-led football victory against Miami in 1984. The study also found that schools that make the Sweet Sixteen have a 3 percent boost in applications the following year, while just making the NCAA tournament is good enough for a 1 percent increase. "Even if we hadn't won, we had a commercial on prime time and that's something we wouldn't normally have had," Furbeck said of the KU commercial, which aired during the national championship game. "It results in more folks looking at what we offer." But Furbeck said she didn't expect the "Flutie effect" to hit the University, mostly because Kansas basketball is already a household name. of his college decision three years ago. He grew up in Missouri and said he fell in love with Kansas basketball as he watched former Kansas guard Jacque Vaughn and the Kansas teams of the 1990s. "I just knew I would come here," Grace said. "Not only because of basketball, but because I loved KU, and I wanted to see games in the Fieldhouse." Ben Grace, Tulsa, Okla., junior said sports played a significant part Even if Kansas sees an increase in applications next year, Furckeb said it might be hard to attribute the increase solely to the championship. "There may be other things we change in our recruitment efforts next year as well." Furbeck said. Edited by Russell Davies 》 ECONOMY Campus affected by food price increase BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com As worldwide demand continues to drive up the price of food, KU Food Services is monitoring market trends and exploring its options to keep campus food prices as low as economically possible. Nona Golledge, director of KU Food Services, said the national average cost of food increased about 4 percent in 2007, which is up from the historical 2.5 annual increase during the past 10 years. "We anticipated prices would go up this year so we did raise some prices, but not across the board," Golledge said. "We've only increased prices on items that have become noticeably expensive in order to balance the costs." She said she didn't know yet whether other prices would go up in the future to counter the rising costs. But she said her department wanted to avoid that. "This year, the rising cost isn't isolated to just one food group but the entire wide range of food items have been impacted," Golledge said. Golledge said the rising cost of food prompted KU Food Services to raise some of its prices on campus. Golledge said coffee prices increased about 4 to 5 percent because the University's coffee supplier raised its prices. Anything that contains grain has also become more expensive, she said, and campus salad bar prices have climbed a small percentage. "We'll keep monitoring trends and try to respond in a responsible way to keep us financially sound while keeping our customers' best interests at heart." Golledge said. Glenn Barnaby, professor of agricultural economics at Kansas State University, said four main economic factors were driving the price of food up: worldwide increase in demand, the sinking value of the dollar, rising fuel costs and the weather. Some of these factors are interrelated. The sinking value of the dollar, for example, is increasing worldwide demand, he said, because U.S. exports are cheaper for foreign countries to import. "Even though our economy is having problems, China continues to grow at an annual rate of 8 percent," Barnaby said. "The low value of the dollar makes grain cheaper overseas. As long as Asian countries continue to grow at the same rate, commodity prices will continue to rise." Both the increase in worldwide demand and the decline in the dollar's value are contributing to the rise in fuel costs, which Barnaby said was making it more expensive to transport food and livestock feed. He said the price of fuel was driving the prices for all goods in the United States. The weather determines how much farmers are able to supply the growing demand. Barnaby said dry weather in southwest Kansas this year could bring about a poor wheat crop during harvest in late June or early July. Wheat peaked at $13 per bushel about a month and a half ago, but he said a good wheat harvest this summer could easily drop the price about 30 percent. Barnaby said it would take two good harvests in a row for grain prices to fall considerably. Barnaby said the rise in food prices wasn't bad for everyone. Farmers, he said, were profiting from the spike in exports. "When you're talking about an increase in prices, it always depends on which side of the desk you sit," he said. "Farmers probably don't consider these high prices to be bad, but buyers have the exact opposite perspective, which is true in any economy."

"He never has a round trip," Linda said. "He's always going from one game site to another. It's difficult. I get on three or four or five sites to get the best fares for him." Welmer is paid $1,000 per game plus $200 for expenses and is compensated for the cost of round-trip coach airfare. Because Welmer goes straight from one city to the next, he can collect extra money from the airfare and ends up making more than the $1,000 per game fee. Because referees are independent contractors, they receive no benefits such as health insurance, social security or a retirement fund and must pay for those expenses out of their own pocket. "All of us have pretty good accountants," Welmer said. "Our tax return last year was 52 pages long. It's something that I would no more attempt to do than try to fly a jet airplane." WHERE IT ALL BEGAN Welmer's interest in officiating began in the late 1960s while playing high school basketball for the Bulldogs at Columbus North High School, formerly known as Columbus Senior High, in Columbus, Ind. During Welmer's senior season, the Bulldogs went 23-3 thanks in large part to his teamhigh 18 points and 14 rebounds a game. When Welmer and his teammates weren't practicing or playing, they were refereeing junior high games on Saturday mornings. Columbus High coach Bill Columbus Stearman had them referee to get some exercise and sharpen their knowledge of the rules. Welmer liked officiating so much that when he went to the University of Evansville in Evansville, Ind., to play basketball, he refereed intramural games two nights a week for $5 a game. University of Evansville in Division II back then, everywhere we went people hated us," Welmer said. "If a Division II school beat Evansville, their season had been successful." "It was a way to stay around the game and make a few extra bucks. Low and behold, it just grew to what it is now." During his freshman year at Evansville, Welmer finished fifth in the country with a 29.7 points per game average. In his junior year, he led Evansville to the 1971 NCAA Division II National Championship with 19.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. "It wasn't quite like playing at UCLA, but when you played at the Welmer, who shares being a member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame with Larry Bird and Oscar Robertson, among others, scored STEVE WELMER College basketball referee more than 1,000 points in his college career and ranks eighth in Evansville's history with 8.2 rebounds per game. He was inducted into the Evansville Hall of Fame in 1986 and held the school's single game and career field goal record for 19 years. After graduation, Welmer played two years in the International Basketball League before working with his father at a beer distributing company. During his spare time, he made extra money by refereeing high school games, including three state finals by age 34. "It was a way to stay around the game and make a few extra bucks," Welmer said. "Low and behold, it just grew to what it is now." Photo contributed by Steve and Linda Welme Welmer worked his first Division I game in 1981 at the University of Dayton and began what would become a life-long career as one of the top officials in the business. THE DAILY GRIND Though Steve Welmer spent only five nights in his Tampa home from Oct. 30 to Feb. 1, Welmer never went more than two weeks without seeing his wife, Linda. She files to meet Welmer on the road to give him massages and do his laundry. NG Welmer's schedule is arguably as busy as any referee in the history of officiating, working 124 games in 145 days during this past season. Welmer called games 16 days in a row early in the season, took two days off, then worked another 16 days in a row. Welmer officiated 32 games in 34 days leading up to Christmas break. After three days to spend the holidays with his family, Welmer then began another string of 15 consecutive games. "They call me kind of a freak," Welmer said, referring to his frantic Referee Steve Welmer watches as Sherron Collins and Texas Tech's Alan Voskuil dive for a loose ball during Senior Night earlier this year at Allen Fieldhouse. Welmer regularly officiates six games a week and worked as many as 16 days in a row on several different occasions last season. schedule. Welmer has a daily routine he must follow to arrive at the next game on time and be rested enough to run up and down the court with well-conditioned college athletes. He wakes up each morning at 4:30 or 5 to catch the first flight out of town to get to his next city. "I've found out in all of my travels that if you run into bad weather, usually the planes that go out first thing in the morning are always there from the night before," Welmer said. "That flight's going to go." When Welmer arrives in the city of his next game by late morning, he grabs a bowl of soup for lunch at the airport, checks into his hotel, turns off his cell phone and climbs into bed for an afternoon nap. Welmer said he took a two to three hour nap every day. After awakening from his siesta, Welmer showers, shaves and meets fellow officials for the drive to the arena. After the game, Welmer returns to the hotel and munches on a light meal. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN "I'm not a real big eater," Welmer said. "I can't eat right before a game or right after a game." REMEMBER THIS MOMENT FOREVER. ROCK CHALK CHAMPIONS WIN NATIONAL TITLE Bryan Marvin/KANSAN Despite being away from home for long periods at a time, Welmer never goes more than two weeks without seeing his wife. If he can't make it home, Linda travels to see her husband so that she can ease his muscles with a massage or to do his laundry. Welmer climbs into bed between 11 and 12 and the process begins again the next morning when he hears the alarm clock a mere five hours later. At home she watches every game that her husband referees on TV. From Jan. 12 to Jan. 19, Welmer officiated a game in Columbia, Mo., Bloomington, Ind., Lawrence, Boulder, Colo. Champaign, Ill., Denton, Texas, and Ann Arbor, Mich. "I'm very independent," Linda said. "I have to be" Though Welmer has his daily schedule down to a science, some coaches express concern that as more referees such as Welmer make officiating their full-time job, the referees may be officiating too many games.

"I'm going to take the most experienced guys who are available." "All coaches will say that officials work too much," Kansas coach Bill Self said. Referees have no limit to the number of games they may work each week. Because referees are paid by the game, those who consider it their career cram as many games into their schedule as possible to make more money. LINDA WELMER Wife of Steve Welmer "We have no control over the Former Indiana and Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight, known for his clashes with referees, said in his recent book, "Knight: My Story," that referees were becoming overworked. ESPN analyst and former Notre Dame basketball coach Digger Phelps said, "I don't think they should work five games a week. I know I'm tired traveling three days a week, I don't know how these guys can work five games in a week. I think it really wears them down." 080794 Learn Your Own Way KU Independent Study Over 150 KU classes are available through distance learning.

"There's no way a guy over 30 can just physically work six games a week well, and here we're talking about guys who are over forty and fifty," Knight wrote. "It's ridiculous that the NCAA doesn't step in and say the maximum number of games anybody can work in a week is three, and even that's one too many. Except for conference tournaments, teams play only two games a week, and that's kids 20 years old in excellent condition with substitutes available." While conferences said that they didn't have enough money to pay officials as full-time employees, critics argued that the NCAA—with its $6 billion contract over 11 years with CBS for the NCAA Tournament every March—has plenty of money to bring officials under one roof and limit the number of games they can work. Legendary referee Ed Hightower, who has worked 12 Final Four tournaments and officiated the championship game between Kansas and Memphis a couple of weeks ago, has a full-time job as superintendent of the Edwardsville, Ill., school district. He works three to four games each week as a part-time official for the Big 10, Big 12 and Big East conferences and said a referee should not be judged only by the number of games he worked. "The money is there, the NCAA has the money," Phelps said. "I mean $6 billion over 11 years and you can't pay your officials? It has to come down to where these guys should not work more than three games a week." "You have to look at each person's performance and if that person's performance is lacking, then you have a SEE REFEREE ON PAGE 5A C --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2008 NEWS 5A REFEREE (CONTINUED FROM 4A) A Jon Goering/KANSAN Referrer Steve Welmer looks on as cole Aldrich guards Oklahoma's Longer Longer as he drives to the basket. Welmer, one of the few referees to have played college basketball, calls fewer fouls than most officials and tries to help teach players what they can and can do. U.S.A. reason to criticize him," Hightower said. "Certainly if he's working too much, coaches will have a lot to say about it at the end of the season." Full-time referees such as Welmer argue that their schedules allow plenty of time to rest between games. "I don't think I ever go onto the court with anything less than a full tank," Welmer said. "Players practice every day for two to three hours and they have to go to class and watch film and so forth. I get a two or three or four hour nap every day. I can sleep on airplanes," he said. "I feel as good right now as I did in the first of November." EVERYBODY LOVES STEVE Welmer is popular in the college basketball world, both as a referee and a person. "Everybody loves Steve Welmer," Hightower said. Asked to name his favorite ref, Kansas senior Jeremy Case knew his answer without hesitation. "Big Steve, for sure," Case said. "He's cool and funny, and for some reason, I always feel like he makes the right call, whether it is for us or against us." Welmer has a reputation for not calling many fouls, perhaps because he is one of the few refs who played college basketball. Instead of calling an illegal screen or a touch foul, Welmer may tell players what they are doing wrong and help them learn what is and isn't allowed. Coaches rarely confront Welmer about questionable calls, but Hightower said he remembered one instance when the two worked together during a preseason game. A Division II team was playing at a Division I opponent when Welmer made a highly questionable call that Hightower and the third referee didn't agree with. The Division II coach was livid. Jon Goering/KANSAN "Steve made the call and the other referee and I just looked at each other and go, 'Holy cow, how is he going to get himself out of this one?' Hightower said. When the Division II coach began to argue, a full time-out was called that allowed the coach even more time to let Welmer know his frustration for the call. By the end of the time-out, Welmer somehow had the coach laughing, Hightower said. "Had it been one of us, we would have had to give this guy a technical foul and throw him out," Hightower said. "But nobody gets mad at Steve Welmer. This is one of the worst calls in America and we said, 'Let's just see how he gets out if it.' By the end of the time-out, the coach is laughing and everything is great." Referee Steve Welmer pulls up his pants in a game earlier this year at Allen Fieldhouse. Welmer's balding head, 6-foot-10-inch frame and his constant pulling of up his pants has made him one of college basketball's most recognizable figures. Even coaches known for their tempers are fond of him. Welmer recalled a golf outing years ago when he was paired in a foursome with Bobby Knight. The two were teeing off and Knight hit a shot headed straight for the bunker. As Knight turned away in disgust, Welmer watched as the ball bounced out of the bunker and back onto the fairway. Welmer never forgot Knight's response when he told him that his shot had in fact bounced back into play. Hightower has also developed a relationship with Welmer beyond the court. "Steve Welmer and I are absolute best of friends; we have been friends for years. My youngest daughter Jennifer calls him Uncle Steve," he said. "When the kids come out on the floor and they see that I've got the game, they will come up and shake my hand and put their arm around me," Welmer said. "They know that when they see Steve Welmer, for the most part they are going to get to play basketball that day and not have to worry about little touch fouls and so forth." While other referees refrain from initiating conversations with players or coaches during games, Welmer often chats with players from both teams during a break in the action. "Welmer," Knight said, "it just amazes me that you can see a golf ball trickle out of a sand trap at 250 yards, and you can't see one damn travel call right in front of you." THE ELUSIVE GOAL Despite being popular with players and coaches, Welmer has never received the phone call that all referees wait to get. Kelly also assigns more games to officials than any other coordinator. "Steve is certainly capable of working the Final Four. He is one of several who 1 hope would get that opportunity. It's a real plum for officials, just like players, to get to The 34-year officiating veteran has never been chosen by the NCAA to work the sport's biggest spectacle, the Final Four. "It's just never happened," Welmer said. "I've had numerous regional championships where the winner went to the Final Four, but never a Final Four. Would I like for it to happen? Obviously, I'd like for that to be a part of my career." Kelly, the Big 12 coordinator, said "I think there's probably been some comments along those lines from people who observe NCAA tournament games, that maybe he didn't call as many fouls or violations as some other officials, but during the games that he referees for me, Steve does a good job." Welmer knows his style of officiating, which players like, doesn't sit well with everyone. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," Welmer said. "I am kind of known for letting them play a little bit. I try to work with the kids a little bit and try to referee where we don't call as many things. I'm not sure how well suited that is for the NCAA." the Final Four," he said Bill Self, who, until winning the championship with Kansas had never reached the Final Four, called it "a shame" that the lovable referee had never worked the sport's greatest weekend. Hightower also hopes Welmer can accomplish his goal. "I'm hoping that someday he gets his Final Four. We'll all be happy for him when it happens," he said. Time is running out for Welmer, who plans to referee three or four more years before hanging up his stripes and whistle. Though he may go down as one of the most wellliked officials ever, Welmer hopes the final chapter in his storybook career has yet to be written.

Both legal opinions were withdrawn later after they were exposed in the news media. Justice responded by issuing at least two memos between 2002 and 2003 that said the torture was legally justified. Those involved in the meetings, which were held in the White House Situation Room, asked the Justice Department to legitimize the interrogation techniques they approved. The political manipulation of the department has been a recurrent theme of the Bush administration. ASSOCIATED PRESS "Why are we talking about this in the White House?" he was quoted as saying."History will not judge us kindly." Ashcroft — a conservative icon and a key supporter of the USA Patriot Act 10 was said to be troubled by the meetings. He is absolutely right.

Yes, I know. The Jayhawks lose a lot in Rush and Arthur, specifically scoring as both were two of the team's leading scorers. But I am confident Coach Bill Self is bringing in some new guys to uphold Kansas basketball tradition.

WE CAN STILL WIN THIS THING. IRAQ '08 Bob Al-Greene/The Daily Nebraskan/IWIRE COMMENTARY Gone an entire day without complaining? KIRSTEN HUDSON Have you ever tried to count how many times you complain in one day? I've already caught myself 29 times today. I'm guilty. So let's just make it an even 30. I hate feeling like I'm surrounded by complaints all the time. I don't know how many times I've logged onto Facebook only to see my friends' statuses littered with complaints. Personally, I use Facebook because I care about what is going on in my friends' lives, especially the ones I don't see every day. The status part of Facebook is the easiest and most efficient way to find out new information about friends, since you can say anything and update it easily. Yet, instead of finding information about what's new in their lives I read, "Billy Bob is sick of homework" or "Sally Sue is hungry." I care about my friends, Not only do we complain in our daily conversations, but we do it online as well. Like Facebook, I read the Free for All because I care about, not what's new with my friends, but what new information my fellow students have to say. Often their comments can be funny, ridiculous or just down right true. Yet, take a look at the Free-for-All to your right. I'm betting several of those comments complain in some way. In the Free for All, we can talk about anything, yet often it's used just to grumble out complaints. Why take the effort to call in just to say "My job sucks"? but I don't need to know every time they have a pang of hunger or feel sleepy. A new online service I learned about recently is called Twitter. Twitter basically resembles the status part of Facebook. Its purpose is to keep you connected with co-workers, friends and family by having you answer one question, what are you doing? According to Twitter.com, updating what you're doing is meaningful to family members, friends and colleagues. Yet, I can't help but wonder, like Facebook, will "what are you doing" just turn into what do you have to complain about? The first time I ever thought how to submit LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Send letters to the editor by e-mail to kansanopdesk@gmail.com.

My principal asked if we had ever tried not to complain once all day. It was the first time I had ever thought about complaining as being wrong. Since then I don't think I've ever succeeded in going all day without complaining once. With this column I've probably gone over 50 just for today. I bet you can do better than me. Hudson is a Wichita junior in journalism and business. COMMENTARY Accusations of news manipulation deserve to be carefully considered Editor's note: The following column originally appeared April 21 in The Daily Gamecock and has been reprinted with permission from UWIRE.com The top news item in Sunday's New York Times could prove to be the defining story of our time. According to a lengthy investigative report by David Barstow, military analysts at every major television news network have been providing glowing reports of the Iraq war — with less than honest intentions. In case you haven't yet had the chance to read the article, here's the gist: The networks, desperate for inside views on military actions, have hired retired military officers to provide commentary on air. The Pentagon, picking up on an opportunity to give the war a positive spin, has allegedly hand-picked at least 75 of these key commentators to meet with the higher-ups and essentially act as government puppets. Here's how: According to the NYT, the group of analysts is "heavily represented by men involved in the business of helping companies win military contracts." Supposedly, their aired opinions directly impact whether the Pentagon supports their business prospects, and neither they nor the networks are straightforward Also, these analysts are often paid by the networks according to the number of appearances they make, meaning that fresh inside scoops become valuable commodities. Analysts have testified that they were denied access to Pentagon officials as a result of airing unfavorable opinions. about this connection. In an immoblio of this scale, it's best to digest the facts in their entirety. Read the article (all of it). Peruse the accompanying documents. The evidence is not quite damning, but it raises unsettling questions about the state of our nation's democratic values. Nobody was expecting these retired generals to bash the U.S. military-they have, after all, devoted much of their lives to its service. And nobody can fault the Pentagon for trying to keep itself in high esteem. This is not like the blatant, heavy-handed propaganda practices of North Korea. This is not a Soviet-style control scheme. If Mr. Barstow's allegations are proved true, then our government is guilty of a much subder deceit. But if information is being willfully manipulated, and if our government is exploiting business interests to sway media portrayal, there are serious First Amendment issues at stake. Public relations should be handled through public relations specialists, not through talking heads presented as unbiased expert sources. It is inherent in our Constitutional foundation that the U.S. government should be open and responsive to its citizenry. Instead, it would appear that our leaders are carefully distorting the facts we receive about their actions. The existence of an intricate warmongering-profiteering complex sounds admittedly like the stuff of a left-winger's conspiracy theory. But regardless of political affiliations or opinions on the justification of the Iraq war, this developing story should be followed with openness and sobriety In the upcoming days, there will no doubt be a flurry of media responses and press conferences. Pay careful attention to what Pentagon spokespeople have to say, and weigh their statements against the evidence stacked in opposition. And, as always, beware of bias — from Fox News to The Times itself. 1. Paul Bowers is a first-year print journalism student at the University of South Carolina.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., celebrates with supporters after winning the Pennsylvania primary in Philadelphia Tuesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Hillary Rodham Clinton survived yet another day. There will be little time for celebration, though. Time and money are running out. Her win Tuesday in the important swing state of Pennsylvania was hard-fought. Barack Obama's well-funded effort to shut her down did not reach its goal of an upset. The dynamics of the race are the same as they've been for more than two months. Obama is the front-runner, and California-based Democratic consultant Dan Newman points out that is more important the closer the campaign comes to the end of the primary season. "He's content to essentially run out the clock with his narrow lead, while she needs something dramatic to happen," Newman said. "A one-run advantage in the first inning isn't a big deal, but a one-run lead in the ninth looms large." Clinton now faces a dwindling number of contests, and she's at a steep financial disadvantage. Obama already is spending twice as much on ads airing in North Carolina and Indiana, the two states that come up next, with primaries on May 6. Clinton will have to either persuade donors to give her more money to sustain her long-shot bid or float herself another multimillion-dollar loan In Pennsylvania, Clinton won with the support of whites, women and older voters, according to exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks. Underscoring the race's excitement, more than one in 10 voters Tuesday had registered with the state's Democratic party since the beginning of the year. And about six in 10 of them were voting for Obama. About a quarter of the day's voters reported having decided within the past week, and about six in 10 of them backed Clinton.

Clinton dispatched one of her top state organizers, California and Texas veteran Ace Smith, to North Carolina in an effort to get every vote she can. Obama's also expected to win Oregon and South Dakota. VOLCANO Of the states left, the biggest prize is North Carolina, a state that both sides are predicting Obama So where can she look for victory? West Virginia and Kentucky are likely Clinton wins, but they offer fewer than 100 delegates combined. She also has a chance in Guam, Puerto Rico, Montana and Indiana. But none of them is likely to give her a big enough margin to put her over Obama. To win, she needs to convince voters that Obama is not electable in November even though he's ahead in the delegate race. She needs a big influx of cash. She needs a shocking change of fortune. NATIONAL NO SMOKING 8 Gasoline Self Serve REGULAR UNLEADED 401 9 10 BUS UNLEADED 411 9 10 421 9 10 Increasing oil costs burden drivers ASSOCIATED PRESS The price board of a Chevron gas station is shown in San Francisco, Monday. Rising gasoline prices tightened the squeeze on drivers Monday, jumping to an average $3.50 a gallon at filling stations across the country. ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Cabbies here complain their take-home pay is thinner than it used to be. Trucking companies across the country are making drivers slow down to conserve fuel. Filling station owners plead that the skyrocketing prices aren't their fault. "To get to the doctors and all that, it's an awful lot of money," said Carol Licata, a 75-year-old retiree from Arnold, Pa., who said a larger portion of her fixed income is now going toward gas. And the rest of us? With gas prices now averaging $3.50 a gallon nationwide, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service, more and more Americans who have to drive are weighing the need for each and every trip. And everyone, it seems, is more than willing to join in the gripping. "Bottom line, we can't afford it no more, man. It's too much," Bak Zoumane said as he filled up his yellow cab as a BP station in midtown New York. But this year prices are rising even faster than normal, experts say, because of the massive jump Those soaring prices are putting added strain on refiners and filling station operators, which are struggling to pass the higher feedstock costs onto consumers. So even as drivers pay more, retailers _ the most public face of the oil business are getting increasingly squeezed. in benchmark crude prices, which spiked to a record $117.76 a barrel Monday before settling a record settlement price of $117.48. "The farther you get from the wellhead, the greater the misery," said Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service in Wall, N.J. "There's a lot of stations across the country that are literally on the brink of bankruptcy." Samer Katib, the manager of a Marathon station in Chicago, said business has fallen at least 30 percent this year because customers are cutting back on driving and only using their cars when absolutely necessary. "It's just go to your work and go home," he said of people's driving habits these days, adding that customers no longer stop in for profit-fattening drinks like they used to. Other businesses are getting pinched as well. REMEMBER THIS MOMENT FOREVER. Featuring every highlight of the Jayhawk's National Championship season!

AAA figures show California has higher prices than anywhere in the country, with regular now selling for an average of $3.86 a gallon. Diesel prices are rising even higher than gasoline, putting pressure on trucking and other shipping companies that use the fuel to transport goods around the country. ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said fuel has now surpassed labor as the trucking industry's biggest cost, prompting some companies to install devices that prevent drivers from speeding.

The Shockers defeated the Jayhawks 6-4 and improved to 31-7 on the season. The Hawks fell to 25-19. Jon Goerina/KANSAN BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com WICHITA - Twenty-one days served as an intermission, but the major actors from Kansas' first meeting, with No.14 Wichita State picked up right where they left off Tuesday night. Just as a refresher, those main players when the Jayhawks and Shockers played April 1 were Kansas sophomore left-hander Shaeffer Hall, senior right fielder Ryne Price and Wichita State right-hander Tyler Fleming. Once again, Hall fell far short of a quality start and Price provided most of the offense for Kansas while Fleming stymied the rest of the Kansas lineup. One big inning was all Wichita State needed, scoring six runs in the fourth, to complete its season sweep of Kansas with a 6-4 victory at Eck Stadium. With the win, the Shockers improved to 31-7 on the season and extended their winning streak to five games against the Jayhawks, who dropped to 25-19 on the year. "It's frustrating to lose any game. I don't look at it as anything different than losing to anybody," senior left fielder John Allman said. "We just had one inning where it kind of got away from us and that happens in baseball." Hall shut the Shockers out an inning longer Tuesday night than he did in his first start against them, when they jumped on him in the third, but this time around was even more brutal. In sending 11 hitters to the plate in the fourth, six Shockers tagged hits off Hall, including two infield singles by center fielder Ryan Jones, as they burst ahead. 6-1. Hall walked two more batters in the inning and was pulled with two outs. In 3 2/3 innings, Hall (2-2) surrendered eight hits and walked three and all six runs he allowed were earned. "He got behind in the count," Price said. "He's not quite firm enough to get behind in the count and then have to use his fastball in fastball counts." The Jayhawks jumped out to an early lead with a run in the third, but ran themselves out of additional runs in the inning. Senior right-hander Hiarali Garcia got Kansas out of the fourth and locked down the Wichita State offense the next three innings, but the Kansas offense was no match for Wichita State's one big inning. Price said he wanted his players to play more aggressive offensively and that play was a reflection of that approach. Kansas didn't leave the inning empty handed, though, as Allman drove Larson in with a single to left to put the Jayhawks up, 1-0. The inning ended when Allman was thrown out after taking a wide turn at first. Freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters led off the inning with a walk, but when senior center fielder Casey Larson doubled to right field, where Shocker Mitch Caster started for the first time and bobbled the ball, coach Ritch Price noticed the relay was lined up with second base, so he waved Waters home. But with a quick relay and a poor turn around third by Waters, Wichita State nabbed him at the plate. Allman made up for the baserunning mistake in the sixth, sending his fourth home run of the season just over the left field wall and cutting the deficit to 6-2. The next inning, with a runner on, freshman third baseman Tony Thompson cut further into Wichita State's lead with a two run blast to left field. It was his third home run of the season and it brought the score to 6-4. Allman and Ryne Price led the Kansas offense, each going 2-for-4 and accounting for two-thirds of the Jayhawks' hits. Tyler Fleming (3-1) kept the Kansas bats in check, striking out three in four innings while giving up one run before he exited the game. He pitched the final 1 1/3 of Wichita State's first meeting with Kansas, striking out three of the five batters he faced. Lost in Hall's lackluster start was a brilliant performance by the Kansas bullpen. In 4 1/3 innings, Garcia and Marcin struck out two and allowed just one hit and one walk, keeping the Shockers off the board. Price was especially happy with Marcins performance. Halfway through last season he struggled just to throw strikes, so eventually he stopped appearing in games. Tuesday was just Marcin's 10th appearance of the season, but Price said sophomore right-hander Marcin told him a few weeks ago that something clicked in his head and he was ready to pitch regularly again. "That's the best Hiarali's pitched in the two years he's been at KU." Price said. "And my boy Thomas Marcin has the best arm in our program and we think he's through his throwing problem now. We wanted to get him into a big time environment to see if he could walk back out there and be as good as his bullpens were. For me, that was the highlight of the night." —Edited by Russell Davies BASEBALL Senior duo shows stellar play BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com PAGE1B Two of the Jayhawks' stars shined in Tuesday night's instate battle at Wichita State, but that wasn't enough. Even though both senior right fielder Ryne Price and senior left fielder John Allman excelled, the No.14 team in the nation defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 6-4. Price repeated the excellent performance he showed when the Jayhawks first met the Shockers this season on April 1. Kansas lost 7-3, but Price was accountable for two of those runs when he scored his seventh home run of the season. Price started his first two at bats with two hits and two stolen bases against the Shockers. Price's average climbed to .335 and he increased his total of steals to seven on the year. Allman was the other Jayhawk who was on the attack from behind the plate. With the team's best batting average at .358, Allman went 2-4 with a home run and twoRBIs. "I was 2-0 and the guy has a good arm, so I was looking for a fastball," Allman said. "I got a good pitch and tried to put a good swing on it and I got lucky." on par with his competition. When Kansas faced Nebraska, the No. 8 team of the country, last weekend, Allman had two hits in every game. Allman was 8-18, with four RBIs, a triple and a home run, in the last four games, which were played against the No. 8 and No. 14 teams in the nation. Allman has had an outstanding season from behind the plate so far and has been The Jayhawks two leading hitters combined to go 4-8 Tuesday night. On the year, Allman and Price have led the team in batting average with .358 and .335, respectively. While these feats are nice, Price has already captured the Kansas career "It's nice to see him back to putting the ball in play with two strikes," coach Ritch Price said. "I still feel like he is chasing too many balls down out of the zone, but when he is hitting good pitches, he can really square the ball up as good as anyone in the nation." "It's nice to see him back to putting the ball in play with two strikes." RITCH PRICE Kansas baseball coach home runs record with 33. The pair still has enough of the season left to do more damage to the Kansas record books and have been stepping it up against tough foes. "I feel OK, we are not winning and I would rather go offer and us win," Allman said. "I am really just trying to do what I can for the team to win." Kansas will ply host to Kansas Wesleyan tonight at 6 and will look to ignite some of the other bats in their lineup. 30 Edited by Patrick De Oliveira Jon Goering/KANSAN Senior outfeilder John Allman celebrates with Junior catcher Buck Afenir after hitting a solo homerun during the top of the sixth inning. Allman hit 2-4 in the game, driving in two runs and scoring one. SOFTBALL Kansas enjoys sweep of UMKC Kansas pitching paves way to 10-2, 7-0 victories BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com The University of Kansas softball team dished out some revenge against UMKC on Tuesday. After getting swept in the past two series, the Jayhawks retaliated with a sweep of their own. Coach Tracey Bunge said it was good for the team to have that success after a rough week. "We needed to get back on our feet and feel a little bit better about ourselves," Bunge said. A. 1951 Wilson The team earned a 10-2 run-rule victory in six innings in the first game. Sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelkia "We're going to need to obviously build on what we did today offensively." TRACY BUNGE Kansas coach 6 surrendered two runs in the first inning and held UMKC scoreless the rest of the way. After back-to-back shutout losses, a number of Jayhawks got hot offensively. Senior left fielder Betsy Wilson hit a three-run home run; her fourth of the season, and freshmen right fielder Liz Kocon and catcher Brittany Hile and junior third baseball Val Chapple had multiple hits and at least one RBI. After those two shutout losses, Bunge said she was happy to see some hitters get back in stride and gain some momentum. "We're going to need to obviously build on what we did today offensively," Bunge said. The Jayhawks won the second game 7-0. While the scores might not reflect it, the second game of the night was a much more lopsided KU victory. Freshman pitcher Allie Clark and junior pitcher Valerie George combined to allow only one hit in seven innings. Eight different Jayhawks had a hit in the game, including Chapple and junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto, each hitting a home run in the contest. Chapple and junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley each stole a base. Bunge said it was good having Vertelka and Clark get the victories on Tuesday night, since they don't get that many opportunities. "Both Clark TRACY BUNGE Kansas coach "So the team will happily return to Arrocha Ballpark to take on the Shockers." and Vertelka needed it for confidence reasons and both of them came out and did a nice job for us." Burge said. The team returns to Arrocha Ballpark on Thursday for a double header with Wichita State. Bunge said Wichita State is a team that has been very erratic over the season. "They've been a much better home team than a road team," said Bunge. So the team will happily return to Arrocha Ballpark to take on the Shockers.

NHL Capitals defeat Flyers, go to Game 7 ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Alex Oveechkin took a perfect lead pass from Viktor Kozlov, split two defensemen at center ice and broke free. There was nothing goaltender Martin Biron or any of the Flyered-up, orange-clad fans who taunted Ovechkin throughout the series could do to stop "Alexander the Great." third period to lift the Capitals to a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night and sent the series back to Washington for Game 7. With the season on the line for the Washington Capitals, Ovechkin delivered. He scored twice in the "It's Hollywood here and the script said he wins the game," Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said. In Monday's other NHL playoff game, Montreal defeated Boston 5-0 to take the series in seven games. Now the Capitals have a chance to become the 21st team in league history to come back from a 3-1 deficit and win a best-of-seven series. They've won a Game 7 only once before, beating the Flyers on an overtime goal by Dale Hunter 20 years ago. The KU Alumni Association presents TRADITION KEEPER Appreciation Week Rock Chalk!

Everywhere he went on the ice, the Flyers surrounded him. www.kualumni.org TRADITION RECREATION ASSOCIATION KEEPERS Finally, he was alone. That 2-0 lead the Flyers once had was history. Following a flurry of shots by the Flyers, Kozlov got the puck in Washington's zone and fired a pass up ice. The speedy Ovechkin took it in stride, skated between Lasse Kukkonen and Braydon Coburn and beat Biron to give the Caps a 3-2 lead 2:46 into the third period. "I don't have lots of chances to go, so I just kind of shot it." Ovechkin said. "I think of what I have to do and I just do my own A delirious Ovechkin pumped his arms and leaped into the bench to celebrate with his teammates while the sellout crowd fell silent. Eight minutes later, Ovechkin ripped a one-timer past Biron to give the Caps a two-goal cushion and completely quiet the raucous fans. "Great players find a way and Alex did it tonight," Capitals center Brooks Laich said. "With Alex, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when." The Capitals need Ovechkin at his best again Tuesday night. Despite winning two straight to even the series, they're not relying on the home-ice advantage and taking the Flyers lightly. "We've won nothing and we know how resilient they are," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "They had the toughest schedule down the stretch and seemed to win every time." Washington will play Pittsburgh with a series win. The Flyers would get top-seeded Montreal. "There is still another chance," said Flyers center Danny Brier, who scored his sixth goal of the series to put Philly ahead 2-0 in the second period. "We have to forget what happened and leave it all on the ice over there. We know we can win there.

But she knows it is all about practice. Powers, the sophomore from Quincy, Ill., leads the Jayhawks in scoring average and has finished either first or second on the team in every tournament so far this spring. Powers started the game at the age of 10 and her life has revolved around golf ever since. "I started playing with my grandparents and my dad at first," took lessons when I first started, then I played with my dad once I was good enough." Powers grandparents owned a country club, which allowed her to get into the game early. It also helped that her grandparents and dad were huge fans of the game as well. Powers also played soccer, but she chose to focus on golf by her sophomore year in high school because she understood that golf was going to get her somewhere in life. Her choice to come to Kansas, despite out-of-state costs, was a simple one. Powers came to Kansas to play for coach Erin O'Neil and the Jayhawks. "I took lessons when I first started, then I played with my dad once I was good enough." "I really loved Coach," Powers said. "I like to think of Lawrence as my second hometown." Powers mentioned other schools were on her mind, but Kansas was always the frontrunner. Coach O'Neil understood what she was getting when she recruited Powers. "I knew coming in she would be an impact player," O'Neil said. "I've tried to," Powers said of being an emerging leader. "I know I'm not the oldest on the team, but I'm there when the freshmen come to me, helping them get adjusted." O'Neil isn't surprised by Powers' quick rise to the top of the team's leaderboard. Powers is one of the most experienced players on a team that consists mostly of freshmen, with a few seniors. O'Neil said she could see the potential leadership abilities in Powers, as she has spoken to the team on numerous occasions. The Jayhawks seek to make their best finish in the Big 12 Tournament this weekend, by placing higher than seventh. EMILY POWERS Women's golf player Kansas highest Big 12 finish was seventh in 1997. Powers understands the pressures that can come from having movie or eating together. the team's best scoring average. "I'm a more go with the flow person," Powers said, regarding how she handles certain pressures. "Everybody has pressure to do well, because we all want our best scores." Powers and the rest of her teammates value whatever free time they can get, whether they spend it playing board games, walking to a "We all like to hang out," Powers said. "But golf takes up a lot of time." Powers doesn't mind being an out-of-state student. She isn't bothered by the long distance between Kansas and her home in Illinois. "It's been fine. I've actually always wanted to be able to get away from home." Powers said. "To get somewhat of a fresh start." For the Jayhawks to have a great start this weekend, Powers understands what the team has to do and what the team has the ability to do. "We need to stay down the middle and if we have a bad hole, know it's not going to be the end of the world." Powers said. Powers is ready for her team to show what they can accomplish in a competitive Big 12 Conference. "We have a chance to finish in the top three, if everyone plays well and up to their abilities," Powers said. 10 If the Jayhawks can accomplish that, they may make history this year. —Edited by Russell Davies Photo contributed by Jeff Jacobsen/KANSAS ATHLETICS Sophomore Emily Powers is one of the most experienced players on the women's golf team, leading the team in scoring average.

EHO park25@petersoncompanies.com editor's note BY MATT LINDBERG MLINDBERG@KANSAN.COM You've found your perfect apartment, decided on your roommates and decked out your apartment with all kinds decorations. But what do you do once you move in and have to deal with the challenges of living on your own? When I moved into my first apartment before my junior year, I was happy I didn't have to live in the dorms. I finally didn't have to share a bedroom and deal with all the annoying things that come with living in residence halls. However, living in an apartment brought on the challenge of truly living on my own for the first time. I found myself having to make sure all my bills were paid on time, cooking my own pasta dinners and trying to keep the apartment clean, which my roommates made hard. The point is that making the jump to living in your first apartment can turn your life upside down. Sometimes, people don't realize how much life can change when they live on your own. My co-workers and I hope that with this apartment guide, you are well-prepared for and can easily adjust to apartment living, so that you can stress out about something else, like homework. spring 2008 kansan staff Editor Managing editors Special sections editor Design chief Copy chief Designer Photo editor Advertising director Sales manager Advertising layout General manager, news adviser Sales and marketing adviser Darla Slipke Matt Erickson Dianne Smith Matt Lindberg Kevin Grunwald Kaitlyn Syring Kelsey Hayes Mindy Ricketts Toni Bergquist Katy Pitt Austin Fallley Malcolm Gibson Jon Schlitt Kansan Newsroom Kansan Newsroom 111 Stuffer-Film Flat 1435 Jayhawk Blvd. Lawrence, KS 66045 (785) 684-4810 et cetera The University Daily Kansan is the student newspaper of the University of Kansas.

A senior's perspective Laundry time can be a challenge for students Laundry Center BY KATY SAUNDERS editor@kansan.com Students who are not willing to pay for their own washer and dryer can find laundromats around town. Lisa Lopovac/KANSAN When looking for an apartment, is having a washer and dryer a must? Some students think it's an absolute necessity, while others do not mind spending an afternoon a week at the laundromat, doing homework and meeting new people. Having a washer and dryer was the No.1 priority for Kathleen Male, Overland Park sophomore, when she was looking for an apartment. When she signed her lease at Hawks Pointe, Kathleen signed up for a washer and dryer unit. However, it was not installed until mid-January, halfway through her lease. "It is much more convenient when the washer and dryer are right upstairs as opposed to the closest laundromat." Male said. When a unit is not at your immediate disposal, prior planning is necessary. Time has to be set aside, as does spare change, and you tend to analyze your daily wardrobe choices more. It is a different story, though, for Richard Martinez, Topea senior. He said he loved having his own unit because "your own is more clean, and you don't have to worry about laundry theft." Andy Horigan, Wichita sophomore, makes it work. Having to set aside time to do his laundry at a nearby laundromat provides Horigan with a set homework time on either Sunday or Monday evening. Despite his routine schedule, Horigan did say there were downsides of not having a washer and dryer in his apartment. Martinez lives with two roommates but says their laundry schedules never conflict. He said "Sometimes on weeknights, you have to fight for machines because either there are too many people or too many machines are broken" Horigan said. He also said it got costly and because of that, he tended to do his laundry less often. When you have your own washer and dryer and don't need to put aside time to head to the laundromat, you won't have to worry about not being able to wear something on account of it being dirty. he was able to do his laundry two to three days a week. There are some problems that come with owning a washer and dryer unit in a confined space like an apartment. Martinez and Male both commented about the noisiness of the unit and the excess heat the dryer brings, especially in the summer. Both of their units are in closets, but they said the heat and noise were overwhelming at times. You will have to decide whether having your own washer and dryer unit is actually cheaper. Sure, you don't have to hassle with quarters, but what about the water bill and any other added expenses? Kathleen Male said she paid a monthly charge just for having a unit in her apartment. In the end, it all boils down to a convenience issue. Do you prefer hauling the dirty-clothes basket, the detergent, dryer sheets and a pouch full of quarters down a couple blocks or do you prefer to just carry the basket down the hall? GPM Regardless of where the laundry gets done, students find a way to make it happen. Garber Property Management 5030 Bob Billings Pkwy, Ste. A 785.841.4785 Now leasing For Summer and Fall!

Many students receive instruction on food safety and cooking tips before coming to college or even as part of college orientation, but still doubts may linger. "The average college student can learn how to cook on their own, simply by taking the things they love to eat and using them in different ways," said Aimee Love, an Overland Park senior who plans to attend culinary school after graduation. College students needn't stress out, though because many books and Web sites are devoted to cheap, creative recipes and basic cooking skills can be easily learned. Web sites such as www.allrecipes.com and www.betterrecipes.com have sections devoted to easy recipes. Love said watching cooking shows on TV could help, and she encouraged all students to tackle any cooking fears. "Don't be afraid of the kitchen. Throw out the frozen TV dinners, and try something new," she said. Taking the time to cook can also be greatly beneficial for your health. A 2006 Brown University Medical School study found that the so-called "freshman 15" may actually be a myth — it should be closer to "freshman 7 or 8" — but that many students continue to gain weight after their freshman year. Eating healthy at home, the study suggested, could help combat this weight gain. Love said cooking could become not just a chore but a community activity to bring together family, friends and roommates.

Some are the standard where you pay them your rent, and each utility bill comes separate. Other apartments have a payment plan built into the monthly rent, which includes utilities up to a certain amount. BY KATY SAUNDERS editor@kansan.com Now that you're out of the dorm and living in your first apartment, money plays a much bigger role in your life. Between the rent, the utility bills, groceries, and anything fun you want to do, the monthly cost of living is not cheap. Some students are doing it on their own with jobs and loans, while others are riding it easy with much appreciated help from Mom and Dad. When you're living on a limited income, budget becomes a very familiar word. You find yourself choosing what is more important, a case of beer or detergent and laundry money. You learn to make things last longer and the infamous Ramen Noodles diet is a definite on the list of any budgeting college student. Student Housing provides the way to have one big bill with everything included, but rules and Resident Assistances come with the package as well. For those students who want the freedom, but still need guidance, Jennifer Warnelink, Associate Director for Resident Life, said that some staff members will offer programs on financial planning and will bring in recourses and speakers to prepare those students for the financial adjustment of living on their own. Matt Chase, Wichita sophomore said he prefers living in student housing for the community life that he finds living in the Battenfeld Scholarship Hall. With help from a scholarship and his parents, Matt's housing costs are covered, but he does rack up some costs. "I'm a really picky eater, so I actually do end up spending some of my own money on groceries." Molly Kretzer, Wichita sophomore, said the apartment she lived in includes the utility bills up to $200 dollars each month in the monthly rent. When it goes over that amount, a separate bill is sent for the amount due. Molly's parent's pay for her rent, but everything else is up to her. She has a job for spending money for things like groceries. Living with three other people can also make budgeting difficult. Molly said she and her roommates used to grocery shop together and split the bill four ways, but now she says they live by a 'if you didn't buy, don't eat it' policy. Learning to budget your money is a skill that takes some of us a very long time to master. Not only do you have to learn to set aside money for bills, you have to remember that each bill has a due date and that there is a price on lateness, think of what you can buy with 10 extra bucks in your pocket. I bet you could think of something better than using that money to pay a late fee. With budgeting comes responsibility. Buy a calendar, and write down the due date of the bill as soon as it comes. They even make paying bills a no-brainer these days as some banks offer an online bill pay option, which means it automatically takes it out of your account, no stamp or post office needed. All you have to do is tell it how much and what day you want it to come out of your account and it is done. The bottom line is, in order to live a minimal to stress, free life, you must first learn to budget your money each month and organize yourself enough to pay bills on time. When looking for apartments, compare rent costs, check into utility plans and determine the most efficient way to budget your money so you always have some cash leftover. BEER Max Rinkel/KANSAN Most students living in college are living on a tight income. They find themselves wondering whether they should spend their money on weekly groceries or beer for the weekend. THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2008 APARTMENT GUIDE 7 Students find easy ways to prevent robberies BY ALEXANDRA GARRY editor@kansan.com Moving out into an apartment, house, duplex or town home and away from parents or Student Housing for the first time can mean the addition of several new - and perhaps even slightly scary - responsibilities. One such responsibility that may go unconsidered by many just may be the most important - personal safety. Rented properties such as apartments are nearly 85 percent more likely to be the target of a break-in than "owned" property such as individual family homes, according to the Douglas County District Attorney Office's web site. Though, as a poor college student, you may not resold, making them ideal candidates for being stolen. According to a recent press release by the KU Public Safety office, property crime such as theft and burglary ("break-ins") "almost always make up the majority of all crimes reported on a college campus." "It's important to use security measures to keep yourself safe." The office reported the number of "total criminal offenes" on and around campus to have fallen from 737 in 2006 to 664 in 2007. National statistics from the Department of feel like a good target for theft, odds are you probably have computer equipment, an MP3 player, a home entertainment system or perhaps even just a run-of-the-mill cell phone. All these items are easily stolen and easily CHRIS KEARY Public Safety Officer Justice show a decline in all crime in the past 30 years, but crime in Lawrence actually increased by 2 percent from 2006 to 2007. Assistant Chief of the Public Safety Officer Chris Keary emphasized "putting in the effort" to keep a home secure to prevent victimization. "It is important to use security measures to keep yourself safe," Keary said. "Just make sure to always lock the doors and windows is a good start. Security is sometimes a matter of effort, but it's not hard." Keary suggested taking security into consideration when looking for an apartment, but also said there were a number of ways to make an existing living space less attractive to burglars. Some tips included asking a trusted friend to look after a home while its occupants are away, having - and always locking - strong deadbolts and installing timers on lights to make it appear as if someone is home even when the space is empty. "If someone is going to break in, that person might want to choose the home that's dark all the time," he said. "It's good to make it look like there's someone around." Sergeant Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department said home security was largely about awareness and who had access to your information. "Never give out information about when you will be home, never let strangers into your home, and never let strangers know if you live alone," Fellers said. Keary said the first step to making a living space more secure is a good analysis of the status quo. "Take a good look at your place and what you could do to make it safer," he said. burglary prevention tips - Keep shrubs - especially those around the entry points of a property - properly trimmed, so they aren't potential hiding spots for burglars - Record the serial numbers of valuable items, such as laptops or cameras - Keep valuables hidden; never leave electronics, cash or other valuable items in plain view - Never freely give out information about when you are going to be home - If you are away for a long period, ask friends or neighbors to keep an eye on your home, and consider getting your mail and deliveries forwarded or picked up by someone you trust - If you live alone, don't let strangers know - Work with your property management to make sure your facilities are well-lit and your doors properly secured - If your place has a sliding door, place a metal or wood rod in its track to prevent it from being opened from the outside - Consider getting timers for a lamp,TV,or even a radio to make it switch on automatically to make it appear as if someone is home even when you are away.

Topeka sophomore Blake Baraban said he has had multiple parties in his Highpointe apartment. He said that he usually invites as many as 30 friends on Facebook but that close to 80 people end up in his apartment by the end of the night. KANSAN FILE PHOTO A BY MICHAEL HOLTZ editor@kansan.com It's Friday night and the guests slowly begin to arrive. Music is playing from the nearby stereo, and two kgs sit in the kitchen waiting to be tapped. Blake Baraban, Topeka sophomore, is welcoming he arriving guests while handing out red party cups — five bucks a cup. His Highpointe apartment is soon filled with upward of 80 people, far exceeding the 30 close friends he and his roommates had initially invited via Facebook. Yet the additional and often times unknown guests do not deter Baraban from accomplishing what he set out to do — having a good time. "We like throwing parties," said Baraban. "It always turns out being a blast."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2008 APARTMENT GUIDE 9 So what are the perks of throwing a party as opposed to attending one? "I like throwing parties because you get to decide who will be there," said Laura Brunin, St. Mary sophomore. "You don't have to worry about trying to avoid people that you don't get along with." Across town at The Reserve, another party is soon underway. This party is a bit smaller, with 20 to 30 of Brunin and her two roommates' close friends arriving at the apartment. Beer pong and card games are being played as music plays in the background. A keg may be found in the kitchen and on rare occasions, such as Brunin's 20th birthday, Jell-O shots are available. ["That] was by far the greatest party we have ever thrown," said Brunin. "The party was absolutely huge." Such a party is a rarity for Brunin and her roommates, as they tend to throw smaller parties limited to their close friends. These parties are usually decided last-minute, using Facebook to send out invitations - a popular tool used by many party-throwers. "We use Facebook because it's fast and easy," said Baraban. "You can reach a lot more people." Once the invites are out, step one is complete. The next step: buying the booze. Kegs seem to be a party favorite. Baraban takes pleasures in having two kegs at his parties, but two kegs weren't enough for Brunin's birthday bash. She said that they made 500 Jell-O shots and bought three bottles of champagne in addition to having two kegs. Brunin charged a dollar for three Jell-O shots and five dollars a cup, enough to break even and then some. "We ended up making back all the money we spent plus about $100," Brunin said. So, you sent out the invites and got the booze. Step three tidy up and hide the valuables. The last thing you'll want to wake up to after throwing a party is broken glass or a stolen iPod. "Make sure to put away anything that could be stolen or easily broken," Baraban said. Lenexa sophomore Deepak Surampalli had an iPod stolen from a party earlier this year. Ever since then, he and his roommates have locked away precious valuables in their rooms. Surampalli and Baraban have one last piece of advice — make sure your neighbors know that you're throwing a party. "Sometimes you never know who shows up," Surampalli said. "The people below us called the cops on us," said Baraban. "We had the cops come three times." Baraban and his roommates were given three disturbing-the-peace tickets, each one for $250, a hefty price tag for throwing a party. Surampalli had a similar incident with neighbors, though not resulting in any citations. He said that they were required to turn down their music after receiving a noise complaint. Even though Surampalli's penalty was negligible in comparison to Baraban's, he still recommends other party-throwers to check with neighbors beforehand. "You can run into some serious problems if they are not welcome to the idea of loud noise every weekend," Surampalli said. MOSS 84 Apartment parties can be a lot of fun, but they can bring a lot of agony, too. Lenexa sophomre Deepak Surampalli said he had an iPod stolen from his apartment during one of his parties.

This should make your job easier in the morning. "At first, I thought it was going to be grannylike, but there were a lot people and nobody noticed," Jones said. She uses bleach to get rid of urine stains in the bathroom. With all the partying that happens in Lawrence, what do people do to clean up the mess afterward? Overland Park sophomore Karinna Jones has her own ways of cleaning up after a party. She prepares for clean-up before the party starts by putting plastic over her furniture. he also had many parties in his apartment. Kalinowski said since he moved into his apartment and started throwing parties, he had noticed dents in his walls in the aftermath of his parties. Kalinowski recommended people use puddy to cover the dents in walls. He also covers his beer pong table to prevent hard liquor from damaging the wood surface. Just to be safe and to prevent any health issues, Kalinowski throws all the drinks out when the party's over. People puke in his bathrooms and miss the toilet or sink, so he uses sanitizer to disinfect the whole area. To freshen up any unpleasant smells, Kalinowski uses an air freshener. Cleaning up after a wild party might not be the ideal good time. However, it's something that has got to be done in order to prevent problems in the future.

It's your first year out of the dorms, and you're living in an off-campus apartment. You're loving the feeling of being free from being so close to campus, except for one thing: getting to class. Considering walking to campus is out of the question, you have the option of either driving to campus or taking the bus. Say you decide that you're getting a bus pass to commute to campus, According to KU on Wheels, a bus pass for the school year is $140. But if you're not sure and want to test it out for a semester, it's $75 for each semester. The bus pass goes for all the bus routes. One advantage some students find about the bus is not having to worry about much. Sarah Aistrup Manhattan sophomore and Sara Holloway Springhill sophomore both agree that it's convenient, "I don't have to worry about parking, it drops you off in front of the buildings you need to go to and it's better than riding a bike," Aistrup said. Another reason students opt for the bus is because it's cheap. Matt Perlil, Overland Park sophomore, takes the Legends bus because it's included with his rent. "It gives you are reason to get up and go to class". Perlil said. Perlil said he would continue taking the bus because gas prices are too expensive and out of his budget. Students can also use the Park and Ride system, an annual pass is $205 or $140 for each semester to park in the lot and catch the bus. But it's free for students to take if you happen to be on campus. Park and Ride starts on 23rd and Iowa streets; and makes stops at Snow Hall, Robinson Gymnasium and West Campus. Blaine Juhl, Lawrence freshman, uses the Park and Ride lot. "It provides a method for me to get to campus, because where I live isn't on the KU bus route," Juhl said. He said there's no other way considering that he doesn't live on campus and freshman living off campus are only allowed the Park and Ride lot. Isaac Meier, Salina sophomore, doesn't park in the Park and Ride lot but does use the bus system. "I ride the bus because Park and Ride is within walking distance of my house, and it's free. I would rather drive if it's raining or it's cold outside. However, if the weather is nice, I enjoy the walk." Meier said. Although the bus may be a convenient way to save money on gas, many students feel that it doesn't help that the time of waiting is uncertain. "You sit and wait for it and sometimes you nissit it and that sucks." Said Holloway. Aistrup believes that there's not enough of off-campuses that go around. "I feel like there's more on-campus buses that go to places like the Recreation Center and the Dorms than off-campus" Aistrup said. Some students may miss the bus for different reasons, Matt Broberg, Salina junior, said because it cant tell what bus it is. "Sometimes I miss the bus after class. But it's actually right in front of me, just the side panel screen is blank," he said. Another hassle for students is that it forces them to have to wake up earlier than they want. Perll talks about the Legends bus, "It comes every 40 minutes. If I have a class at 11, I have to be get up at 10:10. It gets there at 10:20, and I have to wait a while for my class. There's a lot of downtime in between," he said. Broberg has similar experiences, "Sometimes I just wanna lay in bed for five more minutes, but nooo, I have to get up to catch the bus." He said. Broberg said he originally started taking the bus because he used to have a bad car. So if you prefer to get to campus on your own time, you might want to get a parking pass. According to KU Parking and Transit, students are allowed to park in the Yellow Lot. Which is $160 for the school year or $85 for a semester. Students that drive to the campus can find it very feasible. Sarah Harbert, Shawnee sophomore said she can go to class on her own time, "I can leave whenever I want, and I don't have to worry about catching the bus." Harbert commutes from The Reserve on 31st and Iowa and uses the Recreation Center lot. Harbert says getting to class is not a problem because she has morning classes, and it's easier to get a parking spot than in the afternoon. Sara Vestal, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore likes the different options to park. "There's parking out at the Burge Union, JRP and the Rec. Center. So you can park closest to where you need to be." She said. Like Harbert, Vestal uses the Rec. Center a lot but sometimes uses the Union parking. Another issue is overselling of parking passes, Brady Greig, Olathe junior like others parks. "I guess I don't like the fact that they oversell parking permits but still charge so much," he said. Another issue is the cost of gas. Harbert said that the main reason she might get a bus pass next year because of the rising gas prices. So students who are moving off campus for next year have a lot to consider. The choice is up to the student, and you may want to try both out for each semester to see which works the best, if you are dead set on not hiking up to campus every day.

For Laur, dogs have always been an important part of her life. "I got [Borris] over winter break as a 21st birthday present to myself," said Laur. "Not having a dog while in college was weird for me." Laur isn't the only student with a passion for humans' canine counterparts. Destaney Sperry, Shawnee senior, has two of her own - Enzo, a one-year-old Australian Shepherd and Conan, a nine-weeks-old German shepherd/Rottweiler. "I have always loved animals and wanted some fun entertainment," Sperry explains. While owning a dog can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, Laur and Sperry agree that it is also a hefty responsibility - not only the amount of time demanded, but also the financial requirements. Both claim to spend between $50 and $100 dollars during any given month on pet supplies such as food, treats, and veterinary expenses.

"The cleaning supplies are the most expensive; he still pees in the house sometimes." As for the amount of time needed for a dog, Sperry, a full time student and full time employee, leaves whatever time she has left to spend with Enzo and Conan. When she is in class or at work, Sperry places her pups in kennels as to prevent them from terrorizing her home while she is away. Aside from time commitments and financial responsibilities, pet policies are another important consideration when deciding to get a dog. Many complexes, such as Laur's, require a pet deposit, a signed contract, and/or monthly pet fees. Also, limitations on the size of dogs are common throughout Lawrence apartment complexes. Laur's landlord demands that all dogs must weigh less than 25 pounds. "The bigger the dog, the more damage they can do," explains Laur. "In Lawrence, it's hard to find a place that allows dogs over 50 pounds." Check with your landlord or complex manager for exact pet policies. So you have the money, the time, and understand your complex's pet policy. Now all you need to do is make a decision. Kelsey Fath, Topeka freshman, is doing just that. Though still weighing her options, Fath has a strong affection for dogs and wants a Pomeranian for next year when she moves out of the dorms and into an apartment. "I really miss my dog from home," said Fath, echoing Laur's reasoning for getting a dog. "I love animals, dogs in general, so I wouldn't mind taking care of it." For those of you who, like Fath, are considering getting a dog of your own, Laur and Sperry offer a few words of wisdom. "It's a pretty big decision that people need to think about pretty hard," said Laur. "It took me awhile to decide that I was ready to get a dog. You really need to think a long time about it." Sperry said "understanding your responsibilities" is the most important factor in making a decision: being financially prepared and willing to dedicate your time to caring for your pet. "Pets aren't for everyone, and they do cost a lot," said Sperry. "They need constant attention and care." So before you run to the pet store or start flipping through the classifieds in search of the perfect pup, heed the advice given by Laur and Sperrey. Like they said, having a dog is a huge responsibility, and the decision to get one should not be taken lightly. Understanding such responsibilities is key to owning any pet, not just dogs, and will make your experience that much more enjoyable. 8 Kris Laur, Milwalkee junior, said the reason she got a dog once she moved into her Lawrence apartment was that she found herself missing her dog at her home. She said it was a big decision to get a pet and that it took her a while to make it. Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN Right where YOU want to be...

Do you have room for a pet? Apartments are not the ideal living space for most active pets. Most pets require daily exercise and space to move around. If you don't think your apartment can suit these factors, you may want to stick with a smaller pet that can be stored in one particular area, like a fish or a hamster. 2. Do you have time for pets? College is one of the busiest times in your life. School, homework, parties and bars are all parts of the schedule you have to consider giving up. If you don't think you will have time time for a pet, your best bet is to avoid getting one for the time being. 3. Will your apartment complex let you have a pet? If you didn't pay attention to the lease you signed for your apartment, go back and review it. Some apartment complexes in Lawrence have a 'No pet clause',which means there is a very strict No pet law enforced there. 4. Can you afford a pet? Despite what you may think, pets are pricey. Not only can they cost up to $500 range, but they require medical shots, food, vetenarian, boarding when you go out of town and other costs you never thought of. If you're already pushing the limits as far as your bills go, definitely reconsider getting a pet until you can actually afford it. 5. How to prepare your home for a pet? Anything that you think can be harmful to pets-electric cords, crumbs on the ground, glass, etc, needs to be removed. Make sure you have an apartment that is safe for a pet to live in.

I was a naive freshman who thought I was too cool for the dorms. I thought it would be fine to move in with my then-best friend, not knowing that friends aren't always the best roommates or that people change once they reach college. I'm no longer friends with that roommate, but I've learned a lot about dealing with roommates and living in an apartment since coming to the University of Kansas in Fall 2004. Here are some things I've learned along the way: First, I learned that cleanliness makes everything easier. It makes your roommates appreciate you so much more, and it makes your home more livable. When I was a kid, I remember waking up on Saturday mornings to the Beatles blasting from the family room. My dad would spend Saturday mornings cleaning, and the Beatles were his constant soundtrack. I loved the feel- ing of a fresh house, and I loved the happy attitude that my dad had about cleaning. Today, I try to do my dishes as soon as possible and to vacuum and sweep the floors at least once a week. Although my cleanliness has gotten a little out of hand (I once spent 45 minutes scrubbing my shower while my roommate was waiting to leave for the bars), my current roommate, Alison, has come to appreciate my OCD. with a group of friends. She had fallen and skinned her knee on the way home, and of course, her friends were laughing and cackling while she tried to clean her knee and put on a Band-Aid. My landlady was reluctant to cut a hole in the wall to rescue the bird, so either it escaped on its own or died between the sheetrock. I'll never know. Meanwhile, I was trying to sleep. I lay in bed, trying to suppress my anger at being woken up, but I couldn't take it any longer, I stormed Second, learn how to talk through your problems without getting mad. One time, Alison came home from a night of drinking out of my bedroom in PJs and proceeded to scream at Alison. The next morning, I couldn't deal with the shame. As soon as she woke up, I asked if we could talk. I apologized profusely and made sure that she understood how ashamed I was. Since then, we've both made a point of telling each other when something is bothering us. Relationships with roommates are similar to boyfriend-girlfriend relationships in that talking out your problems is the best way to solve them. Third, be prepared to deal with whatever may come up. In my second apartment, a bird once flew into the wall through a hole in the overhang. It frantically fluttered around for two days, creeping out both my roommate and me. I could imagine it starving, hanging on for dear life and eventually succumbing. My landlady was reluctant to cut a hole in the wall to rescue the bird, so either it escaped on its own or died between the sheetrock. I'll never know. Then during this past semester, my roommate and I came home from the bars to be greeted by an opossum. It must have smelled the pumpkins we had carved earlier that weekend and decided to venture up three flights of stairs to our front porch. I tried to remember that it was more afraid of us than we were of it, but it still freaked us out. We screamed and squeaked enough to scare it away, something I learned from my days as a Girl Scout. Of course, in Girl Scouts they were trying to teach us how to scare away bears, but I figured it would work with any wild animal. Best of all, I learned that living in an apartment is fun when done right. Follow these tips, and you should be able to enjoy your college apartment life.

What the KU senior doesn't see is corn, the second-most common crop grown in Kansas. He said his family quit growing it because it cost too much to water and they could no longer profit from it. Birdwatcher and KU assistant professor Philip Wedge normally hears birdcalls of local birds like the American robin and house sparrow, but this year he heard the call of the Northern Saw-whet Owl, which doesn't usually call outside its breeding range in Canada. Floyd Ott grows apples, nectarines, apricots, pears, peaches, plums and cherries on his 25-acre orchard south of Eudora, but last April a harsh freeze killed his fruit buds and cost him his entire crop. Scientists widely accept that greenhouse gases are changing the climate, and Kansans like Funk, Wedge and Ott are already seeing some of the effects of higher temperatures and less water. The shrinking water supply will make it harder to grow corn. Disappearing surface water will make it harder for trees like sugar maples and bur oaks to survive, and birds like the red-headed woodpecker that rely on them may also disappear. The changes will make seasons unpredictable, disrupting the natural life cycles of honeybees and the flowers and fruits they pollinate. Each change will make life more difficult for humans, raising the prices of food and eliminating the state's biodiversity. A CHANGING CLIMATE Johannes Feddema, professor of geography, said Kansas was expected to get almost one degree Fahrenheit warmer per decade, which by 2100 could mean a nine-degree increase. In 2000, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported the average headed woodpecker feeds the bur oak tree's acorns. The tree grows near surface water which is quickly disappearing in western Kansas. reported the average May temperature in Lawrence was 66 degrees, but the predicted warming would se it to 75 degrees by 00. Feddema said rain would come less often but in more violent bursts, which wouldn't allow the ground to absorb as much moisture and could cause flooding. Kansas would especially be affected by this change, increasing water need six inches by 2100 Garden City, which is about 10 miles from Funk's family farm, experiences an average rainfall of 20 inches, and increased temperatures would mean the environment would need 26 inches to stay the same in 2100. Feddema said rainfall in Kansas was hard to predict because it was between different patterns in the environment. Western Donald Worster, professor of environmental history, said the climate change Kansas was experiencing now was similar to what happened during the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Worster said in the '30s farmers plowed under native plants, which left the ground exposed to strong winds and dust storms. He said many people migrated out of the state to find more jobs, and some towns in western Kansas never recovered from the population drain. "Now we're facing what is the worst period of Kansas history," Worster said. "It's not a matter of belief. It's a matter of scientific research." Worster said some food production would mo north toward Canada as surface water disappeared in the west and water for irrigation was depleted. He said some land could go out of production within 20 years. Worster said these predictions matter because Kansas would not come out of the drought period as it did from The bur oak grows near creeks and reservoirs, which are disappearing in western Kansas. Sam Funk's farm, which his family has owned for four generations, is right in the middle of the area the Dust Bowl hit. He said his family was very conscious about saving water and growing mostly dryland crops, which don't need to be watered. He said his family was willing to adjust to the changing climate to continue to stay in the farming business. CROPS Chuck Rice, professor of soil microbiology at Kansas State University, said warming would make farming more expensive and change the crops farmers grow. Rice said the changing climate led to predictions of more thunderstorms and hail, which could ruin whole harvests. He said milder winters could also allow pests to increase the more expen- ariculture ghest bil- tem- be able during the day "You'll see more cost, greater risk and more uncertainty in food production," Rice said. He said water was discharged from the He said water was disappearing from the Ogallala Aquifer, which supplies water for irriza- tion to western Kansas and seven other states, and wells would become more expensive each foot deeper they must be dug to reach the water. Rice said that if farmers couldn't afford to dig deeper wells, some of their land might go back to non-irrigated crops, like wheat, grain sorghum and even natural grasses.

ODD NEWS Bulldog contest winner to appear at Drake Relays DES MOINES — Buddy is a sleeping beauty: Reddish brown, he's usually asleep on his back, snoring loudly with his large tongue rolling out. He was wide-awake Monday, though, when he was crowned winner of a "Beautiful Bulldoc" contest. "He doesn't have a good stamina to him...he's been laying around all winter," said George DuBois from Ankency, Iowa, who owns Buddy with his wife, Cindy. "Just in the last 10, 15 days we've done some walking. We've been getting in shape for this." The DuBois' 3-year-old dog was among 50 bulldogs from mostly Midwestern states that came to compete. The beauty contest honors Drake University's mascot and one of the events leading up to the Drake Relays, one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious track and field competitions. "I'm so excited. I didn't think he had what it took to get it," Cindy said. "His mom is back home and she won't know what to think when he comes home with all this good stuff." Buddy competed unadorned, unlike many of his rivals. They dressed up as fairy princesses, rock stars, cheerleaders, bumblebees and even Snow White and Mr.T. "We felt this best represented her personality," said owner Amanda Price. "She's very fun loving, high-spirited." Buddy panted heavily as he sat on his throne, getting used to his new crown and cape as photographers snapped his picture. On Saturday, he'll ride in a golf cart at Drake Stadium before about 18,000 spectators.

BATON ROUGE, La. — A state Senate panel rejected a bill on Tuesday that would make it a crime to wear one's pants too low, even as Cajun-country towns around Louisiana have been banning saggy pants from their streets. "I don't think he really wants attention all that much ... he wants to be with people," George said. "He's just a rascal." Sen. Derrick Shepherd's bill would have made it illegal to wear, Free speech protects short shorts, baggy pants "When we begin to take the freedom of speech away ... I think we're doing something that's just not right," Dorsey said. in public, clothing that "intentionally exposes undergarments or intentionally exposes any portion of the pubic hair, cleft of the buttocks or genitals."Violators would have faced a fine of up to $175 and eight days of community service. Shepherd tried and failed to pass a similar bill in 2004, but the measure died in the face of opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union. With no objection, the Senate Judiciary panel voted against moving the measure to the floor. Sen. Yvonne Dorsey said she disliked the look of baggy pants but wanted to defend the public's right to wear their clothes as they wish. Exceptions included thong swim suits and clothing worn in fashion shows. and cities have enacted or are considering bans on saagy pants. Shepherd said the state should take a stand against droopy pants, which he called just one example of widespread indecency in contemporary clothing styles. "The shorts are getting shorter, the tops are getting smaller, the cleavage is getting larger," Shepherd said. "When are we going to say, 'Enough is enough'?" The style is believed to have started in prisons, where inmates are issued ill-fitting jumpsuits but no belts to prevent hangings and beatings. The look was popularized in gangster rap videos. 8-foot long alligator invades Florida home Authorities say a 69-year-old central Florida woman found an 8-foot long alligator prowling in her kitchen late Monday night.

It then apparently strolled through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen.

Clarissa Unger, state coordinator of Students for Barack Obama, was one of only three students from the state of Kansas elected on April 12 to represent Obama at the convention. Unger, Colby junior, was the only KU student elected as a delegate to the convention from the Kansas Democratic Party's District Conventions. Unger said her selection was significant because in the third dis- tlict, two of the delegates elected were state representatives, another was a field organizer for Obama's campaign, one was an Iraq war veteran and one was a soldier's mother. Hilary Tilkens, an Omaha, Neb., senior who attended the third district's convention as an Obama delegate but was not elected to "I guess I gave a good speech. I guess it was just compelling enough that people voted for me." CLARISSA UNGER Colby junior "I guess I gave a good speech," Unger said.

Douglas County Fairgrounds caucus, said she was glad Unger was chosen at the district convention Tilkens, who helped organize the because Unger had put a large amount of time into Obama's campaign. She said Unger's election showed that the stereotype about college students and their lack of interest in politics was not true. "This just kind of goes to prove that some of us do care and some of us are really, really passionate about this." Tilkens said. State Rep. Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat who was also elected as a delegate to the national convention, said Unger's election was significant because traditionally, few youth from Kansas were elected. the party for many years received spots. Davis said he was younger than the people who were usually selected. "I'm really excited to see younger people get involved and get elected," Davis said. "They deserve to be represented at the conventions because there are so many young people who have gotten involved in the Obama campaign and have played a role in its success." 40 years old were chosen to represent Hillary Clinton. In 2004, no KU students were chosen as delegates to the national convention. Unger said she was excited to represent the youth of Kansas and be able to vote on the Democratic Party's platforms at the convention. Unger said that Obama's campaign told her the trip would cost about $1,000, but that she would look into sharing costs with the other students from Kansas who were elected. — Edited by Katherine Loeck Gen. Petraeus to be promoted to U.S. Central Command ARMED FORCES ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Army Gen. David Petraeus, the four-star general who led troops in Iraq for the past year, will be nominated by President Bush to be the next commander of U.S. Central Command, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday. Gates said he expected Petraeus to make the shift in late summer or early fall. The Pentagon chief also announced that Bush will nominate Army Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno to replace Petraeus in Baghdad. Central Command overseees the wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan. "I am honored to be nominated for this position and to have an opportunity to continue to serve with America's soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and civilians," Petraeus said in a brief statement from Baghdad. At a hastily-arranged Pentagon news conference, Gates said the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and other problems in the Central Command area of responsibility, demand knowledge of how to fight counterinsurgencies as well as other unconventional conflicts. "I don't know anybody in the U.S. military better qualified to lead that effort." Gates said. WhilecongressionalRepublicans swiftly offered ringing endorsements of Petraeus' anticipated nomination, Democrats were more cautious. rity needs." A spokeswoman for Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), said only the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee was "hoping to schedule a prompt confirmation hearing." Sen. Joseph Biden, (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he hopes Petraeus "does not bring an Iraq bias to his new job, at the expense of America's broader secu- GOP presidential hopeful John McCain (R-Ariz.), said he supports both Petraeus and Odierno. He called Petraeus "one of the great generals in American history." Gates said he had consulted with Levin and other senior lawmakers about the nominations. The defense secretary said he anticipated no Capitol Hill obstacles to confirmation. While Democrats are unlikely to block the popular general, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid noted in a statement Wednesday that any war commander must be committed to "implementing major changes in strategy" if directed to do so by a new president. Asked if moving Petraeus from the Iraq command could interrupt momentum against the insurgency, Gates said that by waiting until late summer or early fall he hoped to "ensure plenty of time to prepare for a good handoff." He said it also would help that Odierno has had experience as "Petraeus' right-hand man" over the last year. stepped down magazine reported that he was at odds with President Bush over Iran policy. Fallon said the report was not true but had become a distraction If confirmed by the Senate, Petraeus would replace Navy Adm. William Fallon, who abruptly read down in March after a Odierno, currently commander of the Army's 3rd nated for promotion to full general and assignment as the Army's vice chief of staff, but Gates said the Fallon resignation changed the plan. With Odierno tapped for a return to Baghdad, Gates said Bush will nominate Gates' senior military assistant, Army Lt. Gen. Peter "I don't know anybody in the U.S.military better qualified to lead that effort." Corps based at Fort Hood, Texas finished in February a 15-montl tour as the top deputy to Petraeu in Baghdad. He had been nomi ROBERT GATES Defense Secretary Chiarelli, for the Army vice chief of staff job. of some 30,000 additional troops that dramatically improved security. Petraeus, 55, is widely hailed by the Bush administration and members of Congress for implementing a new strategy in Iraq, including the deployment Gates said he expected that Petraeus would make an initial recommendation in late summer on when to resume pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq, following a several-week pause to evaluate the security situation in August. Central Command, with headquarters in Tampa, Fla., is responsible for U.S. military operations throughout the Middle East, Central Asia and the horn of Africa, and thus oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fallon relinquished the command March 28 to his top deputy, Army Lt. Gen. Martin Dempsey, and retired from the Navy earlier this month. Dempsey was in the unusual position of having already nominated to take command of U.S. Army Europe when Fallon bowed out. He appeared to be among those considered as Fallon's permanent replacement, but it now appears he will go to Europe once Petraeus leaves Iraq. funded by: SENATE STUDENT one community, many voices April 24, 2008 THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS DANCE N'DODGE DANCE N' DODGE Nothing But Nets DODGEBALL TOURNMENT!

When bees disappear, the efficiency of producing these products goes down and their prices go up. to die, animals Fruit trees, like the ones on Ott's farm, are introduced species which farmers must water because they don't naturally grow in Kansas. Billings said the fruit buds had a better chance of freezing because the seasons were so unpredictable. that depend on the trees' acorns would suffer, such as turkeys, deer and squirrels. Taylor said bees and other insects had a difficult time adjust- "The trees are being lured into thinking it's OK to flower earlier," she said. Last April, a harsh freeze caught Ott by surprise. Trees budded early in a mild March then temperatures dropped below freezing at night during the first weeks of April. The thaw and freeze also resulted in poor crop conditions for 41 percent of the state's winter wheat. Orley "Chip" Taylor, professor of insect ecology, said warmer winters were a big problem for bees because there was less snow cover and predators could find the wintering bees more easily. He said a warmer winter would also keep the bees' metabolic rates high and they wouldn't have enough food or energy to live through the entire winter. Ott said he lost at least $9,000 worth of fruit sales and his loyal customers at the Lawrence Farmers' Market were unable to buy his usual bounty of homegrown apples, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries and plums. Craig Freeman, curator in charge of botany at the Natural History Museum, said that when populations of plants like snapdragons lost one year of producing seeds, a whole generation of plants was lost and there was a chance the whole population eventually would decline.

He said that in Lawrence, plants were usually at full bloom on April 14. Last year, that day was April 2, a full 12 days early. This year, flowers reached full bloom yesterday, seven days later than the norm. Normally, the bloom days vary only by three or four days. If plants flower early but bees don't emerge, the bees miss the prime time to collect pollen and nectar and some starve. If the season starts early but then an extreme freeze hits, the vegetation freezes and there is no pollen or nectar because blooms die. Tavlor said. Richard Bean, owner of Blossom Trail Bee Ranch, raises about 60 colonies of bees for honey to sell at the Lawrence Farmers' Market. He said last year, when the freeze killed many fruit buds, his bees weren't able to collect nectar for more than a month and had already gone through their winter stores of food. "They really struggled," Bean said. "They had more mouths to feed." He said the queen bee slowed down laying her eggs when there was less food, which was the opposite of what he needed for honey production. Chip Taylor said many yellowjackets, bumblebees and paper wasps didn't survive the late freeze last year and that their numbers were still small. "Nebraska won't be the Cornhuskers anymore. It will be the South Dakota Cornhuskers." He said that when the insects die, they can't pollinate the plants and the plants then can't reproduce or bear fruit, also affecting other insects that rely on that food. FISH Keith Gido, associate professor of biology at Kansas State University, said drier streams and rivers were eliminating some species of fish, although scientists didn't know yet tow鱼 will react to higher water temperatures. species like the plains minnow, the Arkansas River Shiner and the green sunfish were disappearing. He said droughts were the biggest problem for fish. Gido said irrigation in western Kansas caused streams to dry up and the Arkansas River also had considerably less water. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks listed the spotted sucker, which lives in the Arkansas River, as one species already in need of conservation. Gido said "There's not much fish can do when it gets completely dry," Gido said. He said stream fish couldn't move into lakes because they weren't adapted to the still water of a lake. Gido said that stream fish spawn and their eggs wash downstream to develop. Long stretches of moving water are necessary for the eggs because the constant current makes it harder for predators to eat them. He said when stream species' populations wane, it upset the SAM FUNK Holcomb, senior stream's whole ecosystem. The plains minnow is an herbivore and eats algae. He said the amount of algae played a strong role in the stream's ability to retain nutrients, so the fish's disappearance could upset the health of the stream and its surroundings. Gido said fish had different ideal temperatures and scientists don't really know how fish will react to warmer weather. He said most streams in Kansas flowed west to east, which made it more difficult for fish to escape warming weather by heading north like other animals do. REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS Linda Trueb, curator in charge of herpetology at the Natural History Museum, said reptiles were tough and independent from their environment. They are more likely to adapt to warmer temperatures, but drought would affect amphibians. She said the biggest problem reptiles faced was that they were cold-blooded and couldn't regulate their own body temperatures. However, warmer temperatures make reptiles more active, so they would be more aware of what is going on around them. Roadrunners are typically associated with deserts but are appearing more frequently in Kansas as the climate gets warmer. Trueb said most amphibians in Kansas were tolerant of high heat, especially native toads, but many other amphibians that need moisture would go underground and wait for more water to come. She said the amphibians that would be most affected would be those already in small numbers across the state, like the crawfish frog, which lives in the Haskell-Baker Wetlands in south Lawrence. The Eastern Narrowmouth Toad lives in the southeastern corner of the state on the Ozark Plateau, most of which is in Missouri. Bill Busby, a scientist at the Kansas Biological Survey, said migratory birds were arriving in the state earlier than normal and some of their ranges were expanding. When Philip Wedge, an assistant professor of English, heard the northern Saw-whet Owl in his yard a block away from campus, the bird was thousands of miles away from where it normally whistled its mating call. Last winter Wedge helped with the annual Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count in Lawrence, and he helped count 15 yellow-rumped warblers. These birds previously didn't winter in Lawrence because it was too cold, but milder winters had allowed the warblers to stay in the state. BIRDS Busby said the big problems for birds were synchronizing their food supply and the changing weather. If the birds miss when plants flower or insects come out, they miss their food source. Many birds use weather and natural events to time their lives. The whip-poorwill broods when the moon was full, and Busby said many birds had a reproductive cycle tied to changes in weather. If certain trees disappear because of weather, like the bur oak, Busy said birds that rely on them for food and shelter would become scarce. The red-headed woodpecker feeds on the oak tree's acorns during winter, so when the tree produces less, there is less food for the birds. He said roadrunners once associated with deserts used to be scarce in Kansas because of harsh winters, but people were now spotting them as far north as Wichita because the winters were milder. The Canada goose is also appearing in greater numbers in the state and staying for milder winters and cornfields. MAMMALS Robert Timm, curator in charge of mammalogy at the Natural History Museum, said mammals might not be affected as much by climate change as they would be from humans destroying their habitats. If mammals are affected, it may happen to them last because they are at the top of the food chain and eat birds, insects and plants. Since humans are at the apex of the food chain, the effects of climate change may affect people later but greater. Whether it is the crops we grow, the birds we feed and watch, the trees that shade us in the summer and entertain us in the fall, the fish we catch or the bees that pollinate our crops and share their honey with us, can Kansans look to Oklahoma for a preview of the future of the hotter, drier environment of Kansas?

Many of my fellow students cringe at the sight of these acrid anti-weapons signs which our many of our buildings and stores now must post in order to secure ourselves against the legal presence of weapons. The Board of Regents took responsibility in banning weapons where our State Legislature played sycophant to an aggressive gun lobby and dangerous ideology of Sen. Phil Journey (R-Haysville). I would prefer we focus our efforts on securing our campuses to greater ends rather than granting anyone the false sense of security derived from a meager band of students and faculty armed mostly in callowness. Such actors would likely endanger themselves in their hubris, concomitantly jeopardizing the safety of their peers. These students were lucky they were not mistaken for possessing weapons, and I hope any student who feels threatened by their rash display does not hesitate to contact the police. how to submit Add comments on all letters, columns and editorials at kansan.com. Send a letter to the editor by e-mail to kansanopdesk@email.com. I would prefer a campus be primed to raise an alarm at the sight of weapons than grow accustomed to them. We must be cautious of the notion that killers willing to sacrifice their own lives will be deterred by any physical means, as most of these shooters seem to seek death both for themselves and others. To destroy the culture of violence we must not promote it in another manner, but we should eradicate the motivations of those who perceive the use of deadly force as a solution to their troubled hearts and minds. —Marc Langston, Wichita senior BLOGS@KANSAN.COM Pennsylvania Primaries Sen.

COMMENTARY For good grades or for new knowledge? CAITLIN THORNBRUGH After completing a test, I was sitting on a bench at the bus stop in front of Snow Hall. The test was just 20 multiple choice questions, some of which were identical to the ones from the practice test my professor put on blackboard, and went over in class. The girls sitting two benches away from mine apparently thought that I was reading a book, which rendered me temporarily deaf, because one of them proceeded to retell in detail the ways in which she cheated on the test we had just taken. In her candid description she used her own name, and said she felt like her TA was "asking her to cheat." She also felt she trusted the guy in front of her more than she did herself, so she just went ahead and copied down all of his answers. The way she talked about cheating was nonchalant, and she must have felt pretty secure about it because she's talking freely in front of all the other students at the bus stop. But what about the guy sitting in front of her she cheated off of? He obviously had no idea what was going on, and yet if she had been caught the consequences for him could have been just as severe. Hearing this one girl talk about cheating isn't an isolated incident. Cheating has become an epidemic, and it made me start to wonder if anyone thinks cheating is wrong anymore. When I actually started talking to people about it, what I believed to be a strictly right-or-wrong issue turned out to be more complex than I thought. Thornbrugh is a Lenexa sophomore in women's studies and creative writing. "I don't feel the need to learn in classes that don't directly affect me or my major because I'm being forced to take them in order to get my degree," Fletcher Farley, South Dakota junior, said. "I'm never going to use the information in my actual life. There's so much pressure to get good grades you don't worry about learning the information." Farley's opinion raises several questions. Is it okay to cheat in classes that have nothing to do with what you're majoring in? George Tsofflas, assistant professor of geophysics gives a teacher's standpoint. "Consider those questions: Is the prospect of a slightly higher grade worth the risk of ruining your academic career and any future opportunities that depend on it? Do you come to college to get a grade or gain knowledge? Is it a good investment of COMMENTARY Immigration about more than what is given and what is taken ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON I support immigration. After watching the recent documentary "Crossing Arizona," I support it now more than ever. tion their starving children at home or their spouses needing medical attention. The documentary, littered with first hand experiences of immigration, reiterated my beliefs as to why most immigrants risk their lives to come here. It's not to "take our jobs," "commit crimes and be free from prosecution" or "to not pay taxes." I do acknowledge that some may take advantage of our system, but I should point out the number of Americans who take advantage of the same system, and they're citizens. I don't think we should label and stereotype a group of people with different motives based on the actions of a handful of malo manzanas (bad apples). These people are risking their lives to improve the lives of their families. The documentary stated that more than one million attempts are made each year to cross Arizona. Out of those million, about 75-150 people die each year while trying to make the trek. Some immigrants said it was worth it to at least try; they would men- "It is an absolute outrage that over 4,000 men, women and children have lost their lives attempting to cross the US/Mexico border to find work," director Dan Devivo said in an e-mail interview. "This is a tragic waste of talent and if our conscience doesn't persuade us to change course, then at least our self-interest ought to. By trying to protect society from the perceived threat of immigration, we are actually harming ourselves. Stunting our economy and personal freedoms as we foster injustice and criminality." I find myself wondering, if we talk on how to diversify our campus, why not continue to diversify our nation? Devivo agreed. "It's curious how the immigration debate in this country focuses exclusively on what immigrants take and never considers what immigrants bring. Throughout our own history, immigrants have had a positively vibrant influence on our culture that has improved our lives in ways to numerous to detail. And immigrants are the backbone of our economy. Not because they are a source of cheap labor but because they are determined to improve their lives and the lives of their families." McNaughton is a Topeka junior in journalism. Some people have ignored the reasons behind immigration, letting their biased views get in the way. One man in the film said that every American should be sitting at the border with a shotgun waiting for them to cross. After a recent trip to Arizona, Samuel Seliger, Seattle senior, felt differently. "I was surprised by how many Border Patrol vehicles I saw and how much tax payer money they're wasting on it." While some believe Border Patrol is a waste of money, others feel enough isn't being done. At a rally called Protect Arizona Now, a man in the film said if he could he would go as far as to deport the pre-schoolers. He said he would go to the retirement communities and deport the elderly. He even said that he would go the hospitals and take out the IV's and send "them" to their own hospitals. Of course, the extreme irony of this scene was at the end, the clean-up crew at the hotel where the rally was taking place, was Hispanic. Migration is inevitable. The policies that our country is governed by affects less fortunate countries, continuing to make our rich richer and the poor around the world poorer. Immigrants don't hinder our society, but instead, add to it. editorials around the state Few of us living in the breadbasket of the United States can imagine what hunger is like. Not the kind of hunger that comes with a growling stomach in between meals but real hunger from going days without food and the despair of not knowing when solid sustenance will come along U.S. should put brakes on new biofuel policies COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Hunger is always a fact of life somewhere on the globe, but right now it is becoming a crisis. Hunger isn't confined to the places that are accustomed to periods of famine. It is becoming an issue around the globe. The crisis has led to sharp criticism of U.S. policies meant ASSOCIATED PRESS to stimulate biofuel production. Maybe we need to take a time-out on the rapid growth of our biofuels industry. We also need to be shifting focus to new inputs such as switch- grass, crop waste and other alternatives to grain-based ethanol. We need to be taking a hard look at our agriculture policies as Congress works on a new farm bill. When commodity prices are high is not when we should be renewing subsidies. Americans are finding higher prices in the grocery store and at the pump, but we aren't starving, and it wouldn't hurt to practice a little conservation and suffer through the high gas prices. Not when millions of our brothers and sisters around the world are going hungry with little hope of food for their stomachs tomorrow.

Rival Barack Obama, his delegate lead intact, said, "We just keep on plugging away." One day after Clinton's comfortable win in Pennsylvania, she and Obama looked ahead to contests on May 6 in Indiana and North Carolina and offered sharply contrasting assessments of the race to date. "The big win that I had, the broad base of coalition that I put together, is exactly what we're going to need to have in the fall," the former first lady said, arguing that her Pennsylvania victory showed she was more electable than her rival. Obama countered Clinton's suggestions that he's not tough enough to shoulder the presidency. "You know, I've always believed that if you're tough, you don't have to talk about it," he said. With her win, Clinton made only a modest dent in Obama's overall delegate lead, and she has virtually no prospect of overtaking him before the primary season ends on June 3. Instead, she hopes to convince party leaders who will attend the national convention as superdelegates that she is better able to defeat Republican John McCain in November and persuade them to swing behind her candidacy as a result. With a handful of Pennsylvania delegates yet to be awarded, Obama had 1,723.5 and Clinton had 1,592.5 in The Associated Press nationwide count. It takes 2,025 to clinch the nomination. Clinton said donors had contributed more than $3 million to her candidacy in the hours since her Pennsylvania victory, some of it from thousands of new donors. Her campaign said she was on track for raising $10 million in the first 24 hours after her victory. HOOSIERS for Hillary Democratic presidential hopeful Sen.

Clinton was in where she placed the economic for companies overseas. She prepared in manufactures breaks for companies overseas. Clinton said she had "received more votes by the people who have voted, than anybody else." Her reckoning included Florida and Michigan, states that held primaries so early in the year that the Democratic National Committee said they did not count seats to delegates. Obama leads in the combined vote totals in primaries and caucuses that have counted, and he dismissed Clinton's claim. "There have been a number of different formulations that the Clinton camp has been trying to arrive at to suggest that somehow they're not behind," he said. DENVER SHOWDOWN?

Chalmers is not using an agent for the NBA draft which leaves him the option of returning to Kansas Marla Keown/KANSAN Chalmers faces tough competition in Draft The junior guard seems like a shoo-in for the NBA, but has to prove himself against other undergrads BY RUSTIN DODD AND MARK DENT rdodd@kansan.com mdent@kansan.com Being considered a sports hero hasn't changed Mario Chalmers' life too much in the past two weeks. He goes to school. He plays basketball. He shops. The only difference is that when he's out, he sees his face on a certain magazine on sale throughout Lawrence. "Seeing yourself on Sports Illustrated on the cover wherever you go," Chalmers, junior guard, said, "is something you never thought would come true." Another dream could soon come true for Chalmers in the coming weeks. He announced his intentions to enter the NBA Draft without hiring an agent Wednesday afternoon, meaning he still has the option of returning to Kansas. "It's been kind of the vogue thing to do with everybody, to announce and not hire," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "and I certainly support him in his quest for living out another dream." Chalmers said he'd been told he was currently projected to get drafted in the late first round or early second round. He wants to improve his status before he signs with an agent. If he's not guaranteed a spot in the first round, Chalmers said he'd come back. He has until June 16 to make his final decision. Until then, Chalmers will have to try to impress scouts and teams in individual workouts. Self thinks Chalmers could play his way into a top-20 pick. "That's kind of the consensus across the board."

At 6-foot-1, he's played for all but a few games during his freshman year. He'll be too small to play shooting guard in the NBA and will have to move to the point. Chalmers isn't the only underclassman guard who's entered his name in draft for this June. He'll have to prove he can hang with Memphis' Derrick Rose, UCLAs Russell Westbrook and Darren Collison, Indiana's Eric Gordon, Arizona's Jerryd Bayless and more to solidify his status. "Next year's draft probably won't be as strong on paper," Self said, "and I think that's something he should consider. But he's earned the right to investigate." If Chalmers does come back, Kansas backcourt will be one of the best in the nation. Chalmers could automatically boost Kansas from a fringe top 25 team to a top 10 contender. And maybe again, Chalmers could see himself on the cover of a magazine come next April. "The more you win," Self said, "the more you want. I want more, and I guarantee he'll be as hungry as he's ever been."

Jayhawks to provide cross-position depth Experience eases anxiety over losing Talib BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com KANSAS In the days leading up to the 2007 football season, the Kansas secondary looked like a weak spot - starting cornerback Kendrick Harper sat out with a broken wrist, forcing freshman Chris Harris into service. Senior Stephanie Smith returns a low shot in the front court Sunday afternoon.

That extra experience could pay dividends this season as Kansas attempts Weston White/KANSAN What seemed a devastating blow last fall looks like a convenient twist of fate these days. "We know we have big roles to fill, so we just want to come out and show everybody we're ready to play," Harris said. "We won't be hurting." Harris, who started 10 games last season, played much bigger than his 6-foot, 180-pound frame would suggest as a freshman, making two interceptions and 65 tackles.

The Cyclones, who have lost 29 straight matches to the Hawks, will be hoping a change of scenery and a trip to College Station, Texas, will be the lucky charm to stopping a streak almost three decades in the making. "Any time we're up against somebody we want to take it one match at a time and that's what we do," Hall-Holt said. Kansas will have momentum on its side when it enters the tournament Thursday. The Jayhawks are currently riding a two-match winning streak after dropping four straight matches earlier in April. Hall-Holt said she felt like the late season push and positive response to adversity had put Kansas right where it wanted to be. "The way it looks, this is where we want to be and this is where our goals were." Hall-Holt said. "We wanted to be in the top half of the Big 12 and the girls pulled through some obstacles and made it." With a difficult regular season schedule under their belt, the Jayhawks appear to have the confidence and the experience necessary to make a deep run in this year's tournament. Out of the 21 teams Kansas faced during the regular season, 13 finished the regular season with an ITA ranking. Another advantage of this year's team is its experience in age. The Jayhawks have a good amount of leadership on a roster that XO In singles, Kansas is lead by junior Edina Horvath, who has recorded a team-leading 11 wins this spring, mostly at the No. 3 position. Senior Lauren Hommell trails just behind Horvath with 10 wins, almost all at the No. 6 position. With four match sealing victories on her résumé already this season, Hommell is inarguably one of Kansas' most reliable players in pressure situations. The Jayhawks will almost certainly need Hommell to rise to the challenge again, if Kansas expects to make a deep run in this year's draw. consists of three seniors and two juniors, all of whom have experience in the Big 12 tournament. An even more important factor is the success the upperclassmen have already had this season. In doubles, Kansas is led by the experi- enced duo of Horvath and senior Elizaveta Avdeeva. With 13 victories all at the No. 1 position, they lead the team in doubles wins this spring. Avdeeva, who set the mark for the most career Big 12 doubles victories in school history on Sunday against Iowa State, said even though the team handled Iowa State on Sunday you can never be too prepared for a match. "Even if you know that you've never lost to a team you have to expect anything," Avdeeva said. Kansas will be looking to continue its domination over the Cyclones when they face off at 10 a.m. on Thursday at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center in College Station, Texas. —Edited by Samuel Lamb 1 --- . 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2008 Sportin' Jayhawks Your face HERE The Kansan will publish recent pictures of you and your friends.

Harper, now a senior, returned from his preseason arm injury to play in seven games. A junior college transfer, Harper started three games and filled in as a nickel back in the other four contests. At 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds, Harper doesn't have the size or speed of Talib, but is a sure tackler who is quick to the ball in run defense. Should Harris or Harper suffer an injury, Kansas holds several talented cornerback reserves. Junior cornerback Anthony Webb is the Jayhawks' lone four-star recruit and has played in 22 college games. Freshmen Anthony Davis and Isiah Barfield should battle for the second backup spot. Barfield made four tackles in the spring scrimmage. "From Webb, to Barfield, to Anthony Davis, we're just real deep," Harris said. "Everybody somewhere has had a little bit of experience, so those guys could easily play with the ones" spring depth chart The Jayhawk depth chart is also brimming with talent at the safety position. Junior safety Darrell Stuckey, one of Kansas' most consistent players last season, will Defensive backfield cornerback » Chris Harris, 6-0,180, sophomore » Anthony Webb, 6-0,185, junior » Kendrick Harper, 5-9,190, senior » Isiah Barfield, 6-0,175, redshirt freshman safety Justin Thornton, 6-1, 202, junior Phillip Strozier, 6-0, 196, sophomore Strong safety Darrell Stuckey, 6-1, 205, junior Olalitan Oguntodu, 6-0, 220, sophomore shift to strong safety to make room for junior Justin Thornton at free safety. Thornton emerged late last season as a starter and made five interceptions. Though sophomore safeties Olatan Oguntodu and Phillip Strozier both lined up on the white team, usually meant for backups, during the spring game, each could see time in Kansas' pass-defense package. The Jayhawks often use three safeties in third-and-long situations, and Oguntodu is the sort of 220-pound bruiser who could help the team's pass rush. "There are various packages," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "So a lot of those kids in the white are going to play a lot and have big roles in the defense, and that's good — it means we have depth. We need to have depth so we can play well for four quarters." —Edited by Madeline Hyden NASCAR SGA ASSOCIATED PRESS NASCAR driver A.J. Allmendinger has struggled this season, including failing to qualify for the first three races of the season. After a five-race hiatus, Allmendinger is set to return to the No. 83 this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. Allmendinger gears up for his return Tough season builds driver's confidence for season debut ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. - AJ Allmendinger had his heart broken twice in a 10-minute span earlier this season. First, Red Bull Racing told the second-year driver they were temporarily pulling him from his ride. Then Brett Favre, his hero announced his retirement. "I swear I almost burst into tears when they told me about Favre," he remembered. "I was like 'This just ain't my day.'" Nor were the next six weeks. Allmendinger was forced to watch from the pit box as Mike Skinner took over the No. 84 Toyota to help Red Bull correct the struggling program. Allmendinger had failed to qualify for the first three races of the season, leaving the team at the bottom of the standings and unsure how to fix it behind Allmendinger's limited NASCAR knowledge. A former star in the now-defunct Champ Car Series, Allmendinger struggled through his rookie season last year. He made 17 of 36 races, finished 30th or lower in 13 of his starts and never got enough seat time to get a proper feel for stock cars. New general manager Jay Frye said he believed the best fix was putting an experienced veteran behind the wheel. "Mike was able to help fix it, and it has AJ postured to come back in a better situation than he was in before." Frye said. "The team has made six races in a row, so it has data, a playbook, so to speak. "And he did a terrific job of coaching and mentoring and showing AJ the ropes. AJ should be better, too, because sometimes you have to take a step back and watch and understand to figure out what you need to do going forward." Allmendinger's scheduled to make his season debut this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. "I'm pumped up, bouncing around like a little school girl, and I think I've been quite annoying to the entire team," Allmendinger said. Although Allmendinger struggled with the emotions of being benched, the experience helped build his confidence and assured him he wasn't as clueless about the cars as he had feared. "Absolutely, I'd agree with that," Frye said. "But it's in a good way."

NASCAR the same time as Allmendinger, the team wasn't fully prepared to provide the driver with the learning curve he needed. It became a maddening cycle of futility as the car missed races and neither Allmendinger nor Red Bull knew how to help each other fix it. 》 OLYMPICS Everest climb endangers reporters ASSOCIATED PRESS Climbers walk up the snow slope along the North Ridge of Mount Everest. New, restrictive plans that China has for foreign media who are covering the Olympic torch's ascent of Mount Everest expose reporters to undue health risks and show Beijing's worries about reporting in tense Tibet, health experts and media groups said Wednesday. Altitude of torch relay's new leg may make media coverage unsafe BEIJING — China's new plan for press coverage of the Olympic torch's ascent of Mount Everest has touched off a new controversy. ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Health experts and media groups said Wednesday the plan will expose reporters to undue health risks due to the altitude. "To take a week or two, it's acceptable, and to take three days, it's ridiculous," said Dr. Robert Schoene, a mountaineer and expert on altitude sickness at University of California-San Diego. "If you take low-landers Under the new schedule introduced by Beijing Olympic officials Tuesday, reporters' time in Tibet would be halved, to about 10 days, most of it in transit. The trip from Beijing, just above sea level, to the Everest base camp at 16,800 feet would be compressed to three days — a third of the adjusting time experts recommend to ward off the sometimes fatal effects of sudden exposure to low oxygen levels at high altitude. It also underscores Beijing's worries about reporting in Tibet and adds another sour note to what Beijing hoped would be a grand feat — taking the torch up the world's tallest peak. Like the entire torch relay, the event has become more contentious after last month's protests of Chinese rule in Tibet, where Everest stands. who are healthy, almost everybody, at least 80 to 90 percent, would get acute mountain sickness in three days." The plan drew complaints from most of the nine foreign media organizations invited to Everest, including The Associated Press. The journalists expressed concern about the health risks in a letter to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee. BOCOG replied it "was carefully studying and considering" the request for more time to adjust and agreed to leave Friday, 24 hours earlier than proposed. It was not clear if the additional day would make a difference. Organizers have said the mountaineering team at Everest base camp might set out as early as Saturday, weather permitting. That would put the group on track to reach the summit May 1, a holiday in China. The rushed schedule underscores Beijing's unease over Tibet and fears that the presence of foreign reporters could incite more protests. Tibet and Tibetan communities across a large slice of western China remain closed to foreign reporters following the widest, most sustained uprising by Tibetans against Chinese rule in nearly 50 years. Twice in the past month, government-arranged tours for foreign media have been disrupted by protesting Buddhist monks. "What is the Chinese government hiding behind Tibet's closed doors?" the Paris-based media freedom group Reporters Without Borders said Wednesday. The group and the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists cited the shortened schedule of the Everest torch relay as a worrying sign of lack of access to Tibet mg sight of lack or access to Tibet. Officials have been vague about when the ascent would be made, saying it would likely be in May. The reticence is partly due to unpredictable Himalayan weather at the 29,035-foot peak. Life Happens.

If Miami makes Long the top selection in the 2008 draft, he will be the first offensive lineman to be the No.1 pick since 1997. ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — The spotlight will be elsewhere Saturday when the NFL draft begins, and that's fine with the Miami Dolphins and Michigan tackle Jake Long. "My understanding is St. Louis is on the clock," said Long's agent, Tom Condon. The Dolphins opted to dispense with any on-the-clock drama by signing Long to a five-year contract Tuesday with $30 million guaranteed. They'll select him with the top pick in the draft Saturday. "Jake Long was on the top of our board for a long time," general manager Jeff Ireland said. "We thought it was a very good fit with the Miami Dolphins." Both sides were pleased the deal allows them to avoid a possible holdout. "I'm real glad we got the contract done so I don't have to worry about any of that." Long said. "It's really important for us to know Jake is going to be on the field for us on time when training camp begins in July," coach Tony Sparano said. "That was critical." Long's total contract package is for $57.75 million, said a person familiar with the negotiations who didn't want to be identified because the Dolphins declined to reveal terms. Last year's top pick, JaMarcus Russell, signed for $61 million with the Oakland Raiders but missed all of training camp before reaching a deal. Long becomes the highestpaid lineman in the NFL and a 6-foot-7,315-pound cornerstone in a rebuilding project for the new Miami regime led by Bill Parcells. Last season the Dolphins went 1-15,and the offensive line has been a chronic problem in recent years. They have many other needs as well, and were interested in trading the top pick for multiple lower choices. When no suitors surfaced, Miami began negotiations last week with Condon. The Dolphins said they didn't conduct contract talks with any other potential pick. "It was a very straightforward negotiation," Condon said. "They didn't leverage us with other players, and we didn't tell them we wanted to be on some different team or any of those kinds of things." Reaching a contract agreement before the draft isn't unprecedented. The Houston Texans signed defensive end Mario Williams as their No. 1 pick on the eve of the 2006 draft. In the past 40 years, only two other offensive linemen have been taken with the No.1 choice - Ohio State tackle Orlando Pace by the Rams in 1997, and Southern Cal tackle Ron Yary by the Vikings in 1968. Pace made the Pro Bowl seven consecutive times, and Yary made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Dolphins would be thrilled with comparable achievements by Long. "Jake has all the qualities we're looking for in our linemen," said Sparano, who coached the offensive line with the Dallas Cowboys. "He's very tough, smart and disciplined. Those are the people we want to surround ourselves with here." Long started 40 games at Michigan and was Big Ten offensive lineman of the year in 2006 and 2007. He finished second to LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey in balloting last season for the Lombardi and Outland trophies. "Coach Parcells and I have had several conversations during the last few weeks," said Lloyd Carr, who coached Long at Michigan. "I know this: Jake Long is his type of player." The Dolphins decided to use the top pick on offense rather than take Dorsey, Virginia defensive end Chris Long or Ohio State linebacker Vernon Gholston. It turns out Ireland's comment last week about drafting "a pillar of your defense" was a slip of the tongue — or a smoke screen. "That's for me to know," a smiling Ireland said, "and you to guess about." 》 MLB John Smoltz, sitting on 2,999 strikeouts, had two strikes on Felipe Lopez. With the home crowd cheering, Smoltz went with the pitch he still credits for helping win the '96 NL Cy Young Award: the split-finger fastball. ASSOCIATED PRESS Smoltz throws his 3,000th out Lopez whiffed, and Smoltz became the 16th pitcher in major league history to reach the 3,000-strikeout plateau. The 40-year-old was outpitched by rookie John Lannan in the Washington Nationals' 6-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Smoltz got two standing ovations and a video tribute. About the only thing he didn't get was a victory. The crowd at Turner Field gave Smoltz two ovations, and the huge Mitsubishi TV screen flashed many of his career highlights. "Today, for one single moment," Smoltz said, "it was an incredible feeling." Lopez will now forever be a footnote in baseball history, the answer to a trivia question. Against the split-finger pitch Smoltz first debuted in the 1992 NLCS, Lopez felt he had little chance. In other NL games Tuesday, it was: Milwaukee 9, St. Louis 8; Chicago 8, New York 1; Pittsburgh 3, Florida 2; Cincinnati 8, Los Angeles 1; Houston 11, San Diego 7; Philadelphia 8, Colorado 6; and Arizona 5; San Francisco 4. "That guy is good," Lopez said. "He's freaking nasty. He's tough. He never follows a pattern. He changes it up." Smoltz got a congratulatory text message from his friend Greg Maddux, already a member of the exclusive club. "I already got a text (message) from Maddux," Smoltz said, "He said I've lost one hair for every strikeout I've made." Smoltz's two teenage daughters watched the game from the front row behind the Braves' dugout. His parents were in Arizona but left a message on his cell phone. Nationals team president Stan Kasten, who used to work in the same capacity for Atlanta, walked through the Braves' clubhouse to shake the pitcher's hand. We're going to be: Give us the scoop!

JIMMY JOHN'S Since 1953 WORLD'S GREATEST GOVERNMENT BRANDS JIMMY JOHNS COM . --- 8B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NFL THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2008 Kansas City Chiefs trade Jared Allen to Minnesota Vikings ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS All-Pro defensive end Jared Allen was traded from Kansas City to Minnesota in a blockbuster deal, making the Chiefs one of the major players in this weekend's NFL draft and the Vikings a serious contender in the NFC. Kansas City gets Minnesota's first-round pick, No. 17 outlay, and both of the Vikings' third-round selections. The teams also swapped sixthrounders in the deal announced Wednesday. Allen, who had an NBL-best 15 and one-half sacks last season despite being Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen, left, sacks Oakland Raiders quarterback Dante Culpepper when the teams faced each other Oct. 21. The Kansas City Chiefs reportedly traded Pro Bowl defense end Jared Allen to the Minnesota Vikings. Coming off an 8-8 season, the Vikings are paying a hefty price in a move they believe will vault them into contention in the wide-open NFC. Allen, who had an NFL-best 15 and one-half sacks last season despite being suspended the first two games, agreed to terms on a six-year deal that includes $31 million in guaranteed money. A pass-rushing defensive end became the team's top priority this season after Kenechi Udeze was diagnosed with leukemia, and with fellow former first-rounder Erasmus James coming off a third major knee surgery. The Vikings weren't sure suspended the first two games, agreed to terms on a six-year deal that includes $31 million in guaranteed money. It could be worth more than $74 million if he reaches certain incentives, according to a person familiar with the deal. The contract will make Allen the highest paid defensive player in the league. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. The Kansas City Star was the first to report the trade. 12 a gifted pass rusher such as Florida's Derrick Harvey would be around at pick No. 17, so they went after a player who dominated them last season. ASSOCIATED PRESS The Vikings played at run and had all day to throw against a weak pass rush. Arrowhead Stadium in Week 3 of 2007, Allen's first game after serving a two-game suspension for multiple DUI convictions. Allen had two sacks, eight tackles, two batted passes and a forced fumble in Kansas City's 13-10 victory. The relentless rusher fills perhaps the lone weakness on a proud veteran defense. Minnesota ranked No. 1 against the run last year, but last against the pass primarily because opposing offenses abandoned the Ben Leber, Ray Edwards and Udeze tied for the team lead with five sacks apiece, allowing offensive lines to double-team Pro Bowlers Kevin Williams and Pat Williams on nearly every play. Just 26, the 6-foot-6, 270-pound Allen was a supplemental fourth-round pick by the Chiefs out of Idaho State in 2004. He quickly established himself as a topflight pass-rusher, but also has a tendency to overpursue and sometimes gets out of position on running plays. Allen was recognized as the premier defensive player in NCAA Division I-AA as a senior, but fell to the fourth round because of character concerns. Allen says he has quit drinking, and another DUI arrest could bring with it a yearlong suspension from the NFL. The Chiefs designated Allen their franchise player, but Allen made it clear he wanted no part of the team's massive rebuilding plan. He told the team he wanted to play for a contender and was not interested in signing a long-term deal with a team that is embarking on a youth movement under coach Herm Edwards following a 4-12 season. The bounty of picks obtained in the trade, and the cap space created by Allen's departure, could help expedite that process in Kansas City. fifth overall selection to go with Minnesota's No.17, six of the first 82 picks and 13 altogether in this weekend's draft. The Chiefs now have their own They shelled out more than $30 million in guaranteed money In making the splashy move to cap a busy offseason in free agency, the Vikings are telling their fans that their time is now. Minnesota has made the playoffs just one time in the last seven seasons, a stretch of futility that hasn't helped owner Zygi Wilf's efforts to get receiver Bernard Berrian, safety Madieu Williams and fullback Thomas Tapeh in free agency, then exceeded that number to make Allen the highest paid player in franchise history. >> NFL to secure public money for a new stadium.

Former Patriots assistant, commissioner to meet about spying BY BARRY WILNER ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Matt Walsh will get his day with the commissioner. What he has to offer is anyone's guess. The former Patriots assistant will meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on May 13 about New England's videotaping of opposing teams. It took a couple of months, but the league reached an agreement with Walsh on Wednesday. During Super Bowl week, and nearly five months after the Patriots were sanctioned for illegal taping of the New York Jets in the season opener — a $500,000 fine for coach Bill Belichick, a $250,000 fine for the organization, and the loss of a REMEMBER THIS MOMENT FOREVER.

"The New England Patriots are pleased to learn that Matt Walsh is finally willing to come forward to meet with the NFL," the team said in a statement. "We are eagerly anticipating his honest disclosures to commissioner Goodell next month and the return of all the materials he took during his time of employment. "We fully expect this meeting to conclude the league's investigation into a damaging and false allegation that was originally levied against the team on the day before this year's Super Bowl." DON'S AUTO: [Keeping Kansas students off the streets since 1972] Don's Auto Center Hib & Haskell 841-4833 The allegation was that New England videotaped the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough on the day before the 2002 Super Bowl. Although Belichick admitted to Goodell during the Spygate investigation that his team often taped opposing coaches' signals during games, he adamantly has denied anything about that Super Bowl. "At all times, we cooperated fully with the league's investigation and stand by our initial public statement from Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008: The suggestion that the New England Patriots recorded the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough on the day before Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002 is absolutely false." In their statement Wednesday, the Patriots reiterated that stand: "I think they've addressed everything they possibly can address. I've addressed so many questions so many times from so many people I don't know what else the league could ask." "I've never seen a tape of another team's practice. Ever!" Belichick said at last month's NFL owners meetings. "Certainly not that one."

I heard there were people hanging from light poles, climbing buildings, high-fiving cops and streaking. I wish I could say that I'd seen all this happen (yes, even the streaking), but I can't, because the crowd of people freaked me out so much that I had to leave before I even reached the action past 10th Street. My friend and I linked our arms as we trekked toward Mass, Street, hoping that would limit our chances of being separated. As we walked, we encountered a few scattered groups of people, and I remember thinking to myself, "Maybe I will be able to handle this." But when we reached the bulk of the crowd, I realized I was horribly mistaken. sweaty, drunk people. I had no control over my path because we were wedged between people who were all stronger and taller and more intoxicated than I was. I had to get out, and so my friend and I left the festivities early and made our way back home. I hate having such a debilitating phobia, but what I hate even more is that I allow it to dictate my life. I've stopped going to concerts at large venues, I don't attend crowded house parties (but that's probably for the better), and I can't imagine going to any more big celebrations, which means no Times Square at New Year's. As we got into the thick of it, I was surrounded by Read Deepa's story on page 12 about different kinds of phobias and how you can try to overcome them, or at least decrease their negative affects on your daily life.

When I was about 2 years old, my father was holding me over his head as he walked down the stairs in our house. I liked being held up high. It made me laugh. Unfortunately, that would soon change. He tripped as he came down, and though I landed quite harmlessly on his stomach, things were never quite the same after that. My eyes would open wide when held me up high, my little hands would clutch onto his wrists in fear. I was officially afraid of heights. So some 20 years later, I was wondering what the hell I was doing about two-thirds of the way up the 42-foot-high rock climbing wall at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, sweaty hands holding on for dear life as I looked for a foothold to continue boosting myself upwards, away from the ground and toward a cowbell hanging above me. "You're doing good, just move your foot over to the left a bit," yells Mike Draper, Milwaukee sophomore. Draper is down below holding my lifeline, a rope with one end connected to me and the other connected to him. The rope is looped through a pulley at the top of the wall. If I fall, his weight would act as an anchor to keep me from plummeting to the ground. In rock climbing lingo, Draper is known as the belayer. I turn around to look down at him. Oh boy, that was a mistake. It's a lot higher looking down than up. Right before I began the climb, I had asked Draper if anyone had ever fallen off the wall and he gave me the answer I had hoped to hear. No one had. Unfortunately, he and a friend went on to discuss other rock climbing experiences at other walls where Draper himself had taken a 25-foot plunge before the rope tightened up and kept him from hitting the ground. This thought weighs heavily on my mind as I come within arm's length of the cowbell. All it would take is one good reach... There, I made it! I hit the bell with a fist and sighed with relief."All right," Draper yells from below."Just let go of the wall." I swivel my head around and find myself at eyelevel with a girl on a treadmill across the lobby on the second floor balcony. I look down again."Are on the wall, having just completed the easiest one. Luckily, there are plenty of other students waiting to take my place. Lindsay Walters, American Falls, Idaho, graduate student, is one of them. Unlike me, she loves heights and has been rock climbing on and off for a few years. "It's relaxing," she says. "When you're hanging 30 feet in the air, you can't worry about all the other crap in your life." I'd agree with half of that statement. "It's relaxing. When you're hanging 30 feet in the air, you can't worry about all the other crap in your life." Lindsay Walters, American Falls, Idaho, graduate student Besides the 42-foot-high wall, there is a few smaller 8-foot-high walls in the room. Climbing on these walls is known as bouldering. It looks easier than climbing the high wall, but looks can be deceiving. These walls actually have hand grips you sure? My voice echoes. The last thing I want to do is let go of the wall, but I do, and after dangling there for a few seconds, I slowly begin descending into the hole that is the rock climbing center ground floor. "You made that look too easy," Draper says when I get to the bottom. True, I had been up and back down in just a few minutes, but my arms are tired and my heart is racing. I am ready to take a break before trying one of the other seven routes placed in more difficult-to-reach places, requiring great strength and reach to climb horizontally from one end to the other. Draper likens the difference between the rock wall and bouldering to running the mile versus the 100-meter dash: One requires endurance, while the other requires bursts of energy. I see one guy hanging nearly upside down on the bouldering wall, and I ask him what he is doing there. "Well, I feel like it's a nice shift," says Tyler Lau. Lawrence freshman."I used to train only my lower body for cycling, and I feel like this is a really good upper-body workout. It's like a challenging adventure." It looks like it's my turn on the big wall again. It's time for challenging adventure number two. I opt for the second-easiest route, although it doesn't look too easy with a huge ridge jutting out about 2 feet from the previously flat surface of the wall. Utilizing my new rock climbing skills and confidence, I make it the 20 or so feet up to the ridge and stop. There is nowhere left to go; the stupid ridge is blocking my progress. My hands are slippery, my arms are tired. I can barely hold on to the wall anymore. I let go of the wall. "Let me down," I yelled to the belayer below. I'd have to come back some other time and try it again. That shouldn't be too hard because the wall is open from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.Monday through Thursday, and is completely free to use.Additionally, members of the Rock Climbing Club can use it from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.Tuesday and Thursday after paying a $40 registration fee.They also get to participate in all sorts of prepaid camping trips where they climb on real outdoor rocks. For now, I'll stick to the indoor variety. As I got ready to head out the door, Draper encourages me to come back anytime."Bring your friends," he says. "Anyone is welcome." 04 04.24.2008 VOL.5 JSS.29 for more information: www.rockclimbing.com Photo by: Kristin Hoppa - คำสั่งหน้าต่างๆ nooks & crannies JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP GARDEN MARTINI [image] A garden with a gazebo, stone pits, and grass.

Well, if by hot, you mean she gives us cool things and expands our cultural understanding. then yes—she's gorgeous. She is the city of Hiratsuka, Japan. She and Lawrence have been sister cities since 1985.To honor the 10th anniversary of their companionship, the city of Hiratsuka gave Lawrence a gift of $5,000 to be spent on a friendship garden.The Japanese city also donated stone carvings and sent representatives to Lawrence to help build the garden, located at 1045 Massachusetts Street. Now Lawrence has itself a beautiful 90-square- foot center of arbor and Zen right on the outskirts of downtown."I like to go there, relax meditate and watch old people walk by," says Jonathan Blum, Lawrence junior."It's a good place to go with friends and pick up on the friendship vibes." The site has a vast array of Japan-inspired flora and other aesthetics.The red brick walls of each of the surrounding buildings and the yoshino cherry trees at the front of the garden help block out the rest of downtown.

The band's re-release of the single "Hey There Delilah" finally made an impact on the charts last summer—a full two and a half years after the song was originally released. Well, back when those guys were just a struggling group of musicians, they occupied a music scene dominated by a group called Lucky Boys Confusion. Chances are anyone who's paid attention to the pop-punk scene (frequently referred to, mistakenly, as the "emo" scene) has heard of them. Along with the Plain White T's and Alkaline Trio, Lucky Boys Confusion carved a niche into the Chicago music scene, and ultimately paved the way for Chicago pop-punk groups like Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is..., and Cute Is What We Aim For—though, come to think of it, they might not be proud of that. A little more than a year ago, the brains behind LBC decided they wanted to try something new, so singer Stubhy Pandav formed Shock Stars, and guitarist Adam Krier formed American Taxi. This week, I'm going to try something new, too, in the sense that I'll be reviewing two EPs in one column. Let's see how it goes... 100 Adam Krier (left) and Jason Shultejann (right) sing harmonies at a 2006 Lucky Boys Confusion show in Chicago. FUNKY American Taxi Runaway Songs I guess it's not much of a surprise that the guitarist, Adam Krier, and bassist, Jason Schulte-jann, of one of Chicago's best rock groups would be able to put together a quality EP, but this level of quality truly is surprising. I'm not just talking about how American Taxi's EP is so tight musically that it sounds as though they've been playing together for more than a decade, because of course they have, but Runaway Songs is something you truly can't miss if you're a fan of punk, pop-punk and/or rock. Stubhy Pandav sings a Lucky Boys Confusion song at a December concert in Chicago. Musically, Runaway Songs shows that Krier and Scheltejnah have found the perfect mix of pop's catchiness and punk rock's hard style. The hooks meld guitar, bass, drums and electric piano—an odd touch for this style of music, but well done—in such a memorable way that after one listen you'll have the songs stuck in your head, though I doubt it will bother you. And unlike most music in this genre, the music isn't repetitive. The beats are always just the right length, so you won't find yourself asking, "Hey, didn't I just listen to this song a minute ago?" like you might with something of lesser quality. AMERICAN TIME HUMANISTICS Lyrically, the EP is something of an anti- emo manifesto, which, in my opinion, is always welcome. You know all those things you'd love to say to your ex or to a friend who keeps disappointing you, but just can't? Runaway Songs says them. Krier's voice pairs perfectly with the subject matter; a raspy and heartfelt mix that far surpasses what so commonly passes for "singing" these days. This line, from "Tanner Boyle vs. The 7th Grade," has convinced me that I need to bring back the lyric of the week: Your fears, they grow into a mountain / where you're freezing alone at the top. / Still I wait every day at the bottom / just to catch you the second you drop. That's not to say that the lyrics only deal with ex-girlfriends and forgotten friends. Krier also finds time to be introspective about problems he's had to deal with, including substance abuse and related issues.And to make up for the lyric of the week being gone so long, and in keeping with my things of doing things in duplicate this week, here's another, from "The Mistake (Burning Hot Girls):" I will be the razor, baby. I will be the pill. / I am the ambulance that never comes, the antidote you spill. / And in the accident, I'll be the failure in your brakes. / I am the truth you couldn't take. / I am a mistake, the worst you'll ever make. Check out Runaway Songs online at myspace. com/americantaximusic. Shock Stars Feel For A Heartbeat When I first heard that the singer of Lucky Boys Confusion—the soundtrack of my high school career—was forming a dance-pop band, my initial reaction bordered on horror. Club music really isn't my thing (there's a reason I don't like going to The Hawk), and Lucky Boys is one of those things that helps me hold on to my roots. LBC reminds me of home, and a lot of their songs remind me of very important moments in my youth. Hell, even some of my political beliefs stem from Pandav's lyrics. I was worried that Shock Stars would sound like Cobra Starship or Panic At The Disco, and thus shatter the fragile pedestal my musical tastes had been shoddily built upon. Luckily for my sanity, those fears were laid to rest when I first heard *Feel For A Heartbeat*. The SHOCK STARS SHOCK STARS FEEL FOR A HEARTBEAT --- band's second EP shows maturity and maintains the rock sensibility I'd come to love from Lucky Boys. Obviously, the EP features a good deal of synthesized instruments, but there's something unique here, too. Occasionally, there's an a capella-influenced harmony and a skai-influenced beat, replete with horns. If this was the kind of music played at The Hawk, I might actually find myself showing up there more often than never. I might even find myself dancing—though I've received a number of complaints in the past, so probably not. Ultimately, Pandav and Co. successfully meld dance-pop, fast-paced beats with punk and rock music and create something that is far superior to the sum of those parts. Shock Stars have converted me, and given the chance, I'm sure they'll convince you that there can be much more than just repetitive beats in this kind of music.

If not, your mouth may be harboring lots of bacteria. Sheila Wolf, registered dental hygienist and author of Your Mouth Could be Killing You, says that more than 80 percent of mouth odors come from bacteria on the surface of your tongue. Everything that goes into your mouth passes over your tongue.Wolf says that because the tongue contains tiny openings, like taste buds, there are plenty of ideal places for the anaerobic bacteria—bacteria that live without air—to hide out and multiply. Brusha brusha brusha: It's dandy for your tongue! On your tongue, the bacteria produce volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) from the food you eat, from bacterial waste products and from the natural process of skin cells that are sloughed off each day. If you don't regularly clean and oxygenate your tongue, Wolf says, the layer of bacteria on your tongue will become thicker, and the VSCs from that pile o' germs will cause some serious foul-smelling breath. To reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth and thus the stink flowing out of your mouth, Wolf recommends using a tongue scraper or a soft toothbrush to clean off your tongue every day. She says you should put the brush or scraper back as far as is comfortable and firmly move it back and forth along the surface of your tongue. Wolf says you should never be gagging when you do this, and your tongue should never bleed. Finding the right scraper is a lot like finding the right tooth brush. Wolf says. You have to experiment with brands and sizes until you find the right one. It's all right to get a little creative with your tongue-cleaning instrument. Some people Wolf has treated have used small spoons and even popsicle sticks successfully. Wolf says the main thing is to remove bacteria without harming your tongue or gums. when you put paste to brush, remember that your teeth aren't the only things that need cleaning,and scrub that tongue. - Kaitlyn Syring dogtown dregs gravity madrid satori sector 9 surf one {long boards} starting around $150.98 the skBahop on MASS. street Mon - Tues - Wed - 11 to 7 Thu & Fri - 11 to 8 Saturday - 11 to 7 Sunday*2 to 8 talk to us @ 785.856.WCHO whitecho colate™ {1005 Mass} WWW.JACKPOTMUSICHALL.COM JACKPOT! 943 MASS LAWRENCE KS 785 832 1085 TUE 22 DEADWOOD DERBY RD #3 JOLLY ROGER *THE DACTILS* DEEP THINKERS *GUSE* THU 24 LLOYD LIKES MIKE @ 3:0PM THE HAUNTING BUSTER BAND WHISKEY DINNER - A KBU BENEFIT FOR UGANDA FRI 25 THE ROSELINE CD RELEASE SHOWI FOURTH OF JULY + JAUNY HODGE DODGE SAT 26 VOLUNTEERS A MIXOK BENEFIT THE FOX AND THE FOREST I LOVE U - MOIRIS MARS SUN 27 THE CAST PATTERN KNIVES EXCHANGING HANDS TUE 29 QUIET COMPANY AARON HALE --- FRI 30 DARK MEAT DRAKKAR SAUNA FRI 2 RED LEFTY MORELAND & ARBUCKLE + SUZANNAH JOHANNES REDLAY LOUNGE 946 MASS LAWRENCE KS 785.749.7676 WWW.REDLAYLOUNGE.COM WED 23 FAGGOT TEETH A BENEFIT FOR SETH'S FACI DEMOORATION THE FARMORY - ROOFT STOP MIGLANTES RULEZZ THE FARMERY - ROOFT STOP MIGLANTES RULEZZ TUE 22 VAMPIRE HANDS MYTHICAL BEAST THU 24 NORTH OF GRAND LALALAND ☆ ☆ FRI 25 FISHBOY THE BUTTON BAND • MURZIK • LOVE GARDEN PATIO DIS SAT 26 THE KINETIKS HEARTS IN BONDAGE • D LADY J & MOOSEKNUCKLES SUN 27 THE FALL COLLECTION KENNEDY LUCK CLUB $2.00 MARTINI MENU 10 Fantastic Flavors! 1 JAGER BOMBS & Bacardi Bombs 2 SO-CO Lime SHOTS 3 Mug Club!

Ingredients | lb. fresh ground beef | | :--- | | | lb. fresh ground sausage (preferably Italian) | | | red onion | | | full clove of garlic | | | lb. fresh mushrooms | I green pepper I bag curl noodles (preferably spinach) I can tomato sauce. (White Owl uses V8 juice to get a day's serving of veggies) I large container sour cream Pasta with Chicken, Beef and Pumpkin White Owl gets his pre-game on with this simple stroganoff recipe. Directions Combine the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally until browned. Pour the juices off when cooked. While the meat is cooking, chop the onion, garlic, mushrooms and green pepper. Add the chopped vegetables to the meat while it's cooking. Next, make your sauce. Reduce heat to low and add V8 or tomato sauce. You have two options: You can add the uncooked noodles to the mix and simmer for 40 minutes, or you can prepare them separately and pour the stroganoff over the noodles before serving. If you prepare the noodles separately, simmer the sauce for 15 minutes before serving. In either case, stir the sour cream into the sauce after cooking. "If strictly for veggie lovers, just drop the meat and add other veggies." White Owl says.

Massage therapy began in the 2nd century B.C. with the Chinese. Many believed it was a cure for multiple ailments.

It all depends on where people carry their stress," Borchers says. "Stress can make you have awkward movements or bad posture, and I can see that when someone walks in." Back problems are common for Chris Williams. "I have lower back spasms from time to time, and massages really help me focus on something other than the pain," says Williams, Goddard senior.

Massages can be done without these products, but usually there is too much friction without the lubricant. Re-apply the massage lubricant as often as needed throughout the massage. Use your entire hand to lightly apply pressure over the whole back. Begin with the larger muscles by your shoulder blades, and move down the back, going along each vertebra."Allow the person to get used to the feel of your hands. Communication is also key. Make sure to ask them how everything feels. You want to apply pressure, Properly end a massage with movements aimed toward the center of the back. "Stress can make you have awkward movements or bad posture, and I can see that when someone walks in." —Tina Borchers, certified massage therapist suffers from neck tension, and a massage helps to relieve that pressure, she says. Giving a massage is pretty easy. Borchers says there are three stages: the warm-up, deep massage and a wind-down. Here, Borchers explains steps to take during each stage to give a satisfying massage. The warm-up First, put a pillow under the ankles of the person lying face down."Your ankles have a natural curve to them, and the pillow allows the feet to relax," Borchers says. Next, lubricate your hands with a massage She also recommends making everything flow together. Don't push your hands down a person's back and then remove your hands. Instead, when you reach the small of their back, slide your hands outwards and move back up the back. This helps create a more relaxing feeling. but not too much," Borchers says. The deep massage the person. The back has several layers of muscles, and deeper pressure reaches the lower muscles. Essentially, throughout this process, you are using your hands like rolling pins. You are flattening the muscles, which pushes toxins out of the muscles. After you've applied light pressure to the entire back, arms, shoulders and neck, you are ready for deeper pressure. Remember to continually ask if the massage feels good, as you don't want to hurt You can use a technique called petassage by making a V between your thumb and forefinger on both hands. Keep your four fingers together.With each hand, make a large pinching motion to pull, pinch and push the muscles. The harder you pinch, the more you will work the muscles. Use your thumbs or the heel of your hand to apply pressure and push along the edge of each shoulder blade. Continue to make your motions as fluid as possible Concentrate on doing the petassage on one side of the back. Move upward towards the shoulders and neck, and then go back down the other side of the back. "Think about what you're doing," advises Evan Toren, Shawnee senior:"Rubbing your hands around somebody's back in a careless way will accomplish nothing. Have a goal." Be careful around joints such as the elbow. Use your thumbs to make small circles around the elbows,but not directly on top of them.You can use this circle motion to massage the entire arm if you'd like. The wind-down To finish up the massage, go back to using light pressure all over the back, shoulders, neck and arms. Use the same technique and pressure as you did with the warm-up. Before ending the massage, lighten the pressure even more, or just use your fingertips to graze the skin. End with all your movements going toward the center of the back. "Move the blood flow towards the heart. That is the center, so you want to make sure blood flows towards it." Borchers says. You have now successfully completed a massage. It takes nine months and many hands-on practices to become a certified massage therapist, so don't expect to be perfect the first time.Just be sure to communicate and not to cross your partner's pain threshold.

But are you using them now? If not, here's a simple yet creative way to make your own. Find these supplies at Michaels, 3106 Iowa St., or Hobby Lobby, 1801 W.23rd St.: - Plastic coaster mold - Cork coasters, set of four - Glue - Sanded or unsanded grout, depending on the shape of your tiles - Tiles, stones or broken china Complete kits are also available, but it can be fun to pick your own stones and tiles. For a more interesting coaster, look for old plates or saucers that you can break in pieces to use in your mosaic. Antique or thrift stores have plenty of old dishes. 1. Place a cork coaster in the mold. Put newspaper underneath the mold to avoid accidents. 2. Plan the pattern for your coasters by setting out the tiles on your first coaster. Think about what tiles you want to use for the other coasters. 3. Glue the tiles to the coaster. Once the glue is dry, it's time to add the grout. If your grout lines will be larger than 1/8 inch, you'll want to use sanded grout. Otherwise, unsanded grout will work. Mix the grout according to the directions on the package. Mix enough grout for only one coaster at a time. 5. Smush the grout into the spaces between your tiles. I found it easiest to use my fingers, despite the messiness. 6. Wipe the excess grout off the top of your coaster using a damp sponge. Don't worry about the thin film that will remain. 7. Let one coaster dry for a couple hours, then take it out of the mold. Now you can grout the next coaster. Continue in this manner until all of your coasters are grated. I found it easiest to use a cookie sheet covered in tin foil as a drying rack. coasters have dried completely, use a wet paper towel or sponge to wipe off the thin film of grout. - Dianne Smith 1 MONTH UNLIMITED Regular Bed for $34.95 (no membership fees) Super Bed $50 ULTIMATE TAN 2449 Iowa St. Holiday Shopping Plaza (785) 842-4949 --- 10 04.24.2008 VOL.5 ISS.29 interesting fact: Cocaine is white and looks like a crystalline powder.

By Deepa Sampat dsampat@kansan.com My friend Ashleigh's hands were clutching the arm rests of her airplane seat, her head was resting on the seat's back, her eyes were closed and her face was pale. While I was counting down the minutes until we arrived in Las Vegas for spring break, Ashleigh was counting down the minutes until the plane landed so the flight would be over with. The only other time she had flown, her flight was so turbulent she developed a phobia to flying. She's not alone. Aerophobia, or a fear of flying, affects about 25 million Americans, and, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 9 percent of Americans suffer from some kind of phobia. Phobias are the most common psychological disorder in women of all age groups, and the second-most common psychological disorder in men over age 25. Here's a further examination of the causes and consequences of some of our fears. What's the difference? Though the terms are commonly used interchangeably, fears and phobias are different things. Thompson Davis, clinical psychologist and assistant professor at Louisiana State University specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders and specific phobias, says the difference between the two has to do with the degree of fear. Phobias are intense fears associated with psychological arousal, distress and avoidance. "Phobias are not like when you watch a scary movie and get scared," Davis says. "A person who has a fear of dogs will see a dog and get scared and walk quickly past it. But someone who has a phobia is going to go to great lengths to avoid dogs, e ale. we as ed er t like turn around and walk another way." Many people have fears, but phobias are characterized as being irrational fears that are persistent and excessive, directed at something considered relatively harmless. "Fear is healthy. Fear is what protects us. It's why people don't run out in front of cars on the street." Davis says. "What becomes an issue is when fears become too intense and debilitating." Megan King, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, says she has a phobia of talking to strangers. She says this most commonly happens when she goes to a party with one friend and then they get separated. "I feel really awkward and nervous. I always get really flushed and really hot. I feel like my face is beet red. It also makes me nervous when I do talk to someone, and so I'll stutter or mess up what I'm saying." King says. Specific phobias are intense and irrational fears toward a particular object or situation. These phobias include things and situations such as heights or spiders. Furthermore, specific phobias are divided into five groups: animal phobias, natural environment phobias, blood/injection/injury phobias, such as a fear of needles or getting hurt, situational phobias, like a fear of flying or claustrophobia, and other phobias. Phobias can be put into three groups. People with social phobias have an intense fear of being embarrassed in social settings. Public speaking is the most common social phobia, but it also includes things such as going to parties, going on dates or talking to authority figures. Alex Rarick, Gardner freshman, has a specific situational phobia. She says her phobia is of someone breaking into her house at night. "When I am going to bed, I get scared someone is walking around my house, going to murder my family. If I hear any noises I can't go to bed," she says. Agoraphobia is a fear of being someplace in which phobias Arachnophobia - fear of spiders Social Phobia - fear of social situations, most commonly public speaking Aerophobia - fear of flying Agoraphobia - fear of being someplace in which getting help or escaping would be difficult if a panic attack were to occur Claustrophobia - fear of being trapped in small spaces Acrophobia - fear of heights Emetophobia - fear of vomit Carcinophobia - fear of cancer Brontophobia - fear of lightening and/or thunder Necrophobia - fear of death or dead things getting help or escaping would be difficult if a panic attack were to occur. People with agoraphobia generally avoid crowded places, being in traffic or flying. Where they come from The specific causes of phobias are largely unknown. Todd Bowman, a counseling psychology intern at the University's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), says many times people with phobias will attribute them to a bad experience they had during childhood."When you ask people why they have a fear of something, a lot of them will say that they've just never liked it." Bowman says. This is true for Gillian Armstrong, Manhattan junior. Armstrong has a fear of heights and can't describe the root of her fear, but says she has been afraid of heights ever since she was a young child. Generally, people acquire phobias in four different ways. Davis says phobias do have some genetic basis. The other three ways phobias develop are through associative methods. First is when someone has a bad experience with an object or a situation, ... 12 04.24.2008 VOL.5 ISS.29 for more information: www.phobiaguide.com 6 feature Are your phobias controlling your life? also called classical conditioning. For example, if a dog runs up to you and bites you, Davis says a special kind of learning happens, and you can develop a phobia of dogs. Living with a phobia can be extremely debilitating. Symptoms of phobias include a racing heart beat, shortness of breath, numbness or tingling in one's extremities, dizziness and uncontrollable crying. Second, phobias can develop though modeling, or observational learning. If you see something bad happen to someone, you can develop a phobia to it. After seeing her friend get bitten by a brown recluse spider when she was in the second grade, Carly McPeak, Montrose, Colo., senior, says she developed a phobia of spiders. "His skin was eaten away. Now whenever I kill a spider it feels like they are crawling all over me," McPeak says. Living day to day Last, you can acquire a phobia to something by simply hearing negative things about it. Davis says a phobia usually develops through a combination of all four methods. Rarick remembers the time she heard her dad running up the stairs and thought it was a stranger in her house." I was shaking really badly. My heart was racing and I was really scared. I didn't want to move. I thought my family was in trouble but I couldn't move. I was frozen," Rarick says. "I didn't get too nervous because I knew I wasn't forced to go up, but I did feel a little left out because all my friends did." Because avoidance is a characterization of phobias, people who have phobias will go out of their way to accommodate their phobia, often rationalizing it. "If you have a fear of social settings and rationalize not going out by saying you like to stay at home, it is interfering with your life, and that's unhealthy," says Vincent Berger, clinical psychologist and founder of the Web site Psychologist Anywhere Anytime (www.psychologistanywhereanytime.com). To accommodate her fear, Armstrong says she refuses to escalate to the top of any tall buildings. "I wouldn't go to the top of the Sears Tower when I was in Chicago," she says. It is especially problematic when other people, such as parents or friends, help to accommodate someone's phobia, Davis says. He says he knew a couple whose child was afraid of the dark and would have a panic attack if he heard any noises when it was dark. To accommodate his fear, the whole family would go to bed at 7 p.m. when it was dark outside so they wouldn't make any noise. Though phobias to specific objects or situations might be easier to avoid, those who suffer from social phobias have a much harder time, especially those in a college setting, Bowman says. "Everything students do in school is associated with people; going to class, living in the dorms. It is different from someone who has a phobia of tornados that only happen once a year." phobias Barophobia - fear of gravity Cyclophobia - fear of bicycles Euphobia - fear of hearing good news Hippopotomonstrosesquippedallophobia - fear of long words Linonophobia - fear of string Nephophobia - fear of ulliness Papyrophobia - fear of paper Seeing a licensed psychologist is the best way to conquer your phobia, Davis, Bowman and Berger Somniphobia - fear of sleep Verbophobia - fear of words In addition to her spider phobia, McPeak says she also suffers from a phobia of clowns that developed after watching the movie *I* with her sister. Because of her phobia, McPeak simply avoids anything that has to do with clowns. Once while babysitting, she was reading a book and had to stop when she turned the page and an illustration of a clown stared at her. Vestiophobia - fear of clothing "I've never listened to the Insane Clown Pose. It's my worst nightmare. It freaks me out. Just seeing a picture of clowns gives me the shivers," she says. Face your fears fea psycholog psych ent ent, and hours agree. Davis says it is unfortunate that many people who suffer from phobias do not seek help, because it is one of the easiest disorders to treat. He says he sees improvement rates as high as 80 to 90 percent, and therapy can last as short as three hours in mild cases. The most common way to rid yourself of fears and phobias is through exposure therapy. Exposure therapy works by slowly getting a person used to the idea of the thing or situation he or she is fearful of. "If you have a phobia of snakes, we would first talk about snakes, then talk about being close to one, then have one in the room, and eventually hold one," Bowman says. Armstrong says her family has helped her with her phobia when they used to visit Colorado and go hiking in the mountains. "My mom was always really good about getting me to the top, so I've had to face my fear," she says. "It was a good feeling knowing that I could get through it." Using exposure techniques without the supervision of a licensed psychologist can be dangerous if performed improperly, Davis warns. "When you're talking about something that's entrenched in someone, you have to be really careful with how you do the exposure." If you think you have a phobia and would like to get treatment, you can call CAPS psychologist. Bowman says all the psychologists who work at CAPS are trained to treat phobia disorders. "People aren't supposed After some time in the air, Ashleigh started to relax. Every time we hit some turbulence, she would unconsciously grab either her armrests or my hand. people aren't supposed to fly.They aren't.You people are crazy," she repeated over and over again. But after each instance, it only took her a few minutes to calm down and unclench my hand. Now the thought of flying doesn't provoke as much anxiety as it once did, and she says she'll be less scared doing it again. Davis offers one chief piece of advice to help people combat their phobias:"I hate to use the old adage, but you have to face your fears." 04.24.2008 12 VOL.5 ISS.29 04.24.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 29 Spider photo by: Kristin Hoppa; All other photos contributed 1 1 1 1 1 We rack our balls for You Open 9 am - 2 am Daily Astr's 18 Tables (Unlimited Balls) 55 Years and Still Amazing.

Natalie Brown and Henry Platts. The entire reason Brown came to the University was because Platts convinced her to come after she visited him for a weekend.

Once you get out of bed, you piece together last night's outfit and, taking a peek at yourself in the mirror, you realize you look like a train wreck. Ducking out,you immediately become embarrassed when you see the flood of people hanging out in the commons area. You have just taken the walk of shame. This is the result of a one-night stand, which, according to the 2005 Durex Global Sex Survey, 50 percent campus.The sense of security that living on campus provided created an ample breeding ground for hook-ups. But what does it mean to hook up? It's anything physical that's more than a kiss, says Jessica Rozler, author of The Hookup Handbook: A Single Girl's Guide to Living it Up. Student definitions vary, as some say it can mean making out with a total stranger, while others say it entails some higher level of physical intimacy, and others believe it requires sex. Despite how you define a hook-up, what do you do afterward? Hooking up can easily end in an awkward situation. Dayton remembers the impulsive decision she made with a boy she met through friends and says it was uncomfortable and "He didn't stay for very long. It makes me angry when people don't even offer to take you out for breakfast afterwards." —Kristen Dayton, Olathe junior of Americans have had. One-night stands are the aftermath of a hook-up, but do hook-ups necessarily lead to one-night stands? What does it mean to hook up with someone, and does the aftermath always result in the walk of shame? Many people, such as Kristen Dayton, Olathe junior, believe hooking up has replaced dating. It seems to be the popular trend, Dayton says, which is unfortunate because she prefers dating." I think college-aged people are afraid of getting into a serious relationship," Dayton says. "Instead, we tend to focus on meaningless, physical relationships." Katherine Bogle, author of Hooking Up: Dating and Relationships on Campus, has a different theory. Bogle, who is an associate professor of sociology and criminal justice at La Salle University, in Philadelphia, interviewed 57 college students and 25 college graduates about their hook-up experiences.After her interviews, she determined that hooking up has not necessarily replaced dating but that the order of the two have been reversed. Today, people tend to hook up and afterwards, if they still like each other, they may go on a date after careful consideration."Dates are the centerpiece of our social life," Bogle says. Defining hooking up is a difficult task, and it's not a coincidence that the term is so vague. Bogle says. Although the term came about in the '80s, the act itself existed long before then. Bogle notes that hooking up became more prominent during the '60s and '70s, the years that birthed the sexual revolution. More people started going to college, and thus more people started living on KU 208 ΩΜΓ embarrassing the next morning. "He didn't stay for very long." Dayton says. "It makes me angry when people don't even offer to take you out for breakfast afterwards." Whatever happens after a hook-up is up to you. The term remains defined on an individual basis, and it's a behavior that may or may not lead to a real relationship."Give yourselves time to hang out when you're not drunk," Losey advises."Then maybe you'll move past that hooking up stage." Attending one of his first college parties, Brad Johnson, Olathe freshman, took home a girl he didn't really know."It was not a fun morning," Johnson says of the day after."It became more awkward when she remembered my name and I didn't remember hers. I had to get her out of the door." "Ours is a relative exception to the norm." White says."Hooking up is usually an extremely short-term kind of thing, but it worked out for us." After giving her a fake phone number and an excuse, Johnson admits he is now embarrassed by his actions. "I'm a little old-fashioned," Johnson says. "I'd like to think of sex as a deep bond between people shared with someone you really care about. Hook-ups tend to be hurtful, shallow and empty." However, hooking up doesn't necessarily have to end poorly. It turned into a two-year relationship for Zach White, Leavenworth junior, and Becky Losey, Roeland Park junior. The two met at a party and ended up making out in front of The Wheel. They both enjoyed spending time with each other, and eventually White asked Losey to go on a date. hook-up terminology summer ends and reality sets in.

Released in March 2004, Guilt Show was produced by Ed Rose and was the final album the band recorded in the studio before disbanding in 2005. Black Lodge Recording brings music home By Elise Stawarz estawarz@kansan.com Eudora is a typical small Kansas town. Pick-up trucks drive along the one-lane roads, gas stations are plentiful, and there's a picturesque Main Street with quaint shops and too many empty parking spots. One thing, however, is very abnormal about Eudora, located about 12 miles east of Lawrence.The town is home to a recording studio at which Kurt Cobain,The Get Up Kids,Puddle of Mudd,Motion City Soundtrack and Senses Fall have all recorded. The studio is now available to local bands, and several groups made up of University of Kansas students record there. "As opposed to paying another studio, we thought it would make sense to take that money to buy a pre-existing studio," says Ryan Pope, who now plays in the bands Roman Numerals and Olympic Size. "It's something we can use for years to come and expand on, as opposed to blowing tons of money by going to expensive studios." Black Lodge Recording, 701 Main St. in Eudora, was founded in 1988 as Red House Recording.The studio is now owned by record producer Ed Rose and Ryan and Rob Pope, former members of the Lawrence rock group The Get Up Kids. One local band that's glad the three took the leap is Ad Astra Per Aspera. Mike Tuley, guitarist for the band, says that, like many local acts, his group never considered recording anywhere else but Black Lodge. "As a band, we're pretty seriously loyal to local businesses." Tuley says. The band recorded their second EP at Black Lodge after recording their first in a basement, and they also recorded their first album, Catapult Calypso, at the studio. Entering the studio for the first time, the relative rookies seriously underestimated the time it would take them to record, and they were also sick with the flu, which they had caught from tourmates. Tuley says Black Lodge worked with them to make sure everything turned out right. Ad Astra Per Aspera is in the studio now working on a follow-up disc with Black Lodge engineer Nick Day. From left: Rob Pope (bass), Ryan Pope (drums), Matt Pryor (guitar, vocals) and James Deewes (keyboard) record *Guilt Show* in Black Lodge's Studio A. In addition to working with Ad Astra Per Aspera, Day has worked with several other local artists, and recently put the finishing touches on new records for the bands Koufax and Roseline. He enjoys working at Black Lodge because of the talent in the area, and says it's important for engineers to form a connection with the bands they work with. The band is playing a jazz standard on the drum kit. There are three members of the band, each with their own instruments and accessories. The drummer is playing the drum set, the keyboardist is playing the piano, and the guitarist is playing the electric guitar. The background features a brick wall and a black-and-white patterned floor. "You have to get a band and get what they're going for," Day says. "The job of an engineer is to get the best performance out of everyone." At Black Lodge, Rose is the chief engineer, Ryan is the general manager and Rob isn't able to be as involved these days because he lives in Seattle and is bassist for the band Spoon. One of Ryan's jobs is to help bands find the best engineer for their project and make sure they are happy with the studio, their final product and accommodations. recommendation of a friend when the band wasn't achieving the sound they wanted. One band that is happy with its experience is Motion City Soundtrack, who recorded their first album. Am the movie, at Black Lodge, with Rose producing.

Photos contributed by www.thegetupkids.com In addition to the two studios, Black Lodge Recording also offers its clients a 2-bedroom apartment, which looks a lot like the perfect college kid's apartment. The apartment costs $100 a night, but most bands are from the area or have relatives nearby. Motion City Soundtrack did live in the apartment, right after Black Lodge first acquired the space. "There were a bunch of mattresses thrown on the floor and we were living up there in one room," Cain says."We would be watching TV and some guy is walking around without his shirt on, but the place was rad and Ed was awesome." Rose gave a tour of the two studios housed in Black Lodge. Studio A is the biggest and runs $400 a day. It has a large mixing room, large recording room and three isolation booths. Isolation booths are used in recording so one instrument's sound doesn't mix with another's. If one player makes a mistake, the rest of the band doesn't have to re-do a take. Studio B runs $200 a day, is about half the size of Studio A and has one isolation booth.The apartment is booked three to four months a year, and the studios are booked about 8 months a year, with Studio B getting a bit more time, according to Rose. If you're not in a band but simply enjoy the recording process, Black Lodge hosts recording workshops throughout the year. According to Rose, classes cap at four participants, and those in the workshop get a complete overview of the recording process, and even practice the craft with a live band in the studio. Black Lodge will hold its next recording workshop June 2 through June 6.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is easily one of the best films to come out in 2008 so far. The film was written by and stars Jason Segel, best known for his roles as Marshall on the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother and as Jason in the film Knocked Up. Segel stars as Peter Bretter, a musician who worships and gets dumped by his famous actress girlfriend Sarah Marshall, played by Kristen Bell. Peter decides to clear his head by heading to Hawaii for a vacation, only to encounter his ex-girlfriend's new rock star boyfriend (Russell Brand). Peter finds himself trying to decide if he is still in love with Sarah Marshall or his new friend, the hotel clerk, played by Mila Kunis (That '70s Show). All the while, Peter is struggling to put together a muppet-type Dracula musical. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is an outrageous, fun and entertaining comedy. Segel delivers the laughs and does an outstanding job in his first leading role, but he has a great supporting cast, as well. Funnyman and KU alumnus Paul Rudd plays a dimwitted surfer; while Ionah Hill (Superbad), Russell Brand and Bill BROADWAY THEATER AND CINEMAS THE 50 YEAR OLD VIRGIN" AND "KNOCKED UP" JASON SEGEL KRISTEN RELL MILA KUNIS RUSSELL BRAND THE ULTIMATE ROMANTIC DESTINATION APRIL 18 FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL Hader (Superbad, Saturday Night Live) bring punch line after punch line in their supporting roles. Kudos also go to Mila Kunis, who gives one of her best performances ever. This film has something for everybody: eye candy for the guys in Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell, male nudity for the ladies (yes, I am serious) and laughs for everybody. Plus, it's from the same group of guys who brought you comedies like The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is not a movie you'll soon forget.

I'm also an eternal optimist. From March to October I'm an extrovert. But as fall turns to winter and the days get shorter, my personality and outlook grow dark. It starts with social cues. I become quieter, less chatty. I'll stumble over my words. I look people in the eyes less and avoid meeting new people. I recognized this personality shift for many years, but attributed it to stress associated with school I made excuses for not hanging out with friends; I wouldn't do anything outside my comfort zone. Many times, instead of going to parties, I'd end up staying in, isolated and, at times, hopeless. I would have unexplainable guilt. I became argumentative and hot-tempered.All of these things would compound and exacerbate my depression. I spend a portion of every year struggling with what has been, at CHEMISTRY & PHYSICAL BIOLOGY times, debilitating depression. Since going off to college, I've fought a yearly battle with Seasonal Affective Disorder. For me, and many others living with Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, it is a constant struggle during the shorter days of winter to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Depending on the severity, it can ruin relationships, increase substance abuse and even result in suicide.The Mayo Clinic estimates that 15 million Americans suffer from SAD.That's about one person in every 20. Researchers believe the onset of winter depression is due to a decrease in dopamine and serotonin levels during the shorter days of winter. By Josh Patterson I first noticed symptoms my first semester of college as winter set in. I didn't drink then—thankfully, I was unsure of why I was so unhappy. I had just broken up with a girlfriend, so I chalked my feelings of guilt, hopelessness and anxiety up to her. But as the winter months wore on, I felt worse and worse. I could always get out of bed in the morning, but that was about all I could do. My routine was pathetic: go to class, sleep, eat something, nap again, study, back to bed, repeat. I knew there was a great big world out there, and I was missing it. But I felt weight down, unable to act or to convey what was bothering me. When I began drinking my sophomore year, it only compounded my depression. I'm not a heavy drinker, except when I'm out drinking. What I mean by this is that I don't drink that frequently, though I would drink more in winter. But when I would go out, I would binge drink, regardless of the occasion. I spent many a cold winter's night cuddled up around the toilet, self-medicating in the form of overindulgence. Every spring, my symptoms would subside and I'd re-emerge into the world from my self-imposed exile, quickly forgetting all I had been through. Sure enough, as soon as the days would get shorter, I'd find myself facing the same feelings I had the year before. I'm not good with subtlety—ask any girl I've ever dated. But after a few seasons, even I began to notice this pattern. Perhaps it is because my "normal personality" stands in stark contrast to the person I can become in winter, my good friends and family were quick to recognize the symptoms—sometimes even before I did. Eventually, after many years of their nagging, I acquiesced and looked into treatment. I had railed against taking any form of medication.I thought by doing so I was admitting weakness.Regardless of the time of year,I'm always stubborn. I hate the terms carelessly used as synonyms for SAD:"winter blues" and "hibernation effect" come to mind. They serve only to belittle a disorder that can have crippling effects, I also think SAD is a poor acronym, as if you just needed cheering up. I believe the cyclical nature of this form of depression lends itself to being downplayed. I know I've thought to myself," only have to make it through the next few months, then I'll be fine." But really, who wants to live a portion of every year just "making it through"? Life, and living, takes precedence over waiting for the days to grow long again. The drugs frequently used to treat SAD—Prozac, Zoloft and Lexipro—are the same used to treat generalized depression and anxiety disorders. These Medication is no panacea. With or without drug therapy, healthy lifestyle choices make a big difference. I'm high-strung to begin with, so working out is essential to relieve stress. A balanced diet also seems to help. I've found that aiming for an alcohol intake of zero to five drinks per week helps a lot. Moderation goes a long way to prevent self-medicating through overindulgence. And while a healthy diet, exercise and keeping a regular sleep schedule can do wonders to mitigate depression, it's not always practical or even possible to follow a regimented routine through college. It's hard when I want to sleep in because of a late class, or end up working late into the night because of a paper due the next morning. Or because I still want to have a social life on weekends. Getting motivated to do homework, or anything after dark, is still difficult. When the sun goes down, my body says, "Sleep now!" This is a problem when it's dark by 5 p.m. and I have work to do.A relative bought me a full-spectrum lamp that was supposed to help mitigate the symptoms. I noticed no change, but it did get me thinking. For me, a much more effective method was using a Craftsman industrial shop light. Nothing beats basking in the blinding white radiance produced by two 1,000-watt halogen bulbs. It's my study light. It keeps me awake and focused on the task at hand. I've been struggling with SAD for six years. I'm proud to say that after too many years of ignoring my symptoms and, at times, letting them spiral out of control, I've managed to find a way to balance my depression with effective treatment methods. But I still hate the shorter days of winter: Perhaps one day I'll buy two houses, one in each hemisphere, and travel between them so I'll always live in a "summer home." Until then, I'll continue to manage my depression. I would never say,"I'm glad to have SAD," because that would sound stupid. However, I am thankful that if this is the biggest mental disorder I have to face, at least it's one that is treatable. I'm grateful that I have during the winter months, and that it is a form of depression that, in large part, relies on treatments that improve my quality of life regardless of the season. of side our sex drive— about.

When I was little, I would make my little brother put on "performances" with me of Aladdin's "A Whole New World" or Ace of Bases' "I Saw the Sign." This love for singing and performing continued when I sang "Tomorrow" from Annie with an elementary school friend for our talent show and then in middle school when I was part of The Supremes in our school musical. My choir teachers always seemed to like me and encouraged me to continue with my singing. That is, until I got to high school. When I signed up for Concert Choir, which was also the freshman choir, I felt like I had made it. On the first day, I sat in the back row with my two choir friends in the soprano section. Our choir director seemed nice at first. He was funny and joked openly about his baldness and his first time in choir as a squeaky tenor. He taught intensely and passionately, making us hold hands when we saw g and sometimes close our eyes, which I know sounds corny, but it did seem to help us connect. CANADIAN CHURCH ASSOCIATION OF WESTERN CALIFORNIA Early into the semester, though, his intensity turned into aggression. He would threaten to send students to the principal's office for saying one word or for asking to go to the bathroom or for being too shy to sing solos in class. He would turn down the temperature of the room to 60 degrees because he thought it made us focus more, when all it made us focus on was how we could keep our feet warm with flip-flops on. Because I sat next to two of my friends, I got ridiculed a lot for talking, even though we would usually only be talking about how my partner or I were singing a note wrong. The spring of my sophomore year, I went to state to compete in solo voice competitions and received a I—the highest rating. My choir teacher congratulated me, but I always felt he doubted my singing. I tried out for Chamber Choir; the elite small-group choir; later that spring. After being rejected, I went in to Top: Jessie and her friend Annie Simmermon, Leawood senior, in front of a cathedral in Cologne, Germany. Bottom: The choir practicing outside the cathedral. get my evaluation that he had promised us in order to improve for next year's audition. After asking for it three times during a period of two weeks, he started yelling at me and told me that he never said I could have it. The fall of the following year, I tried out for the high school musical and didn't even make the Chorus. When the audition for Chamber Choir came around again, my confidence was shot, and I was doomed to fail. I wanted to know how I could improve, but I began to think that it was more Peggy personal than anything else. The more I tried to figure it out, the further away I got from that goal, and the more I started to resent him. His tear-filled pep talks made me laugh and his arrogance made me roll my eyes. I started to make fake doctor's appointments to avoid the class and thus avoid getting yelled at for getting a drink of water. At the end of our junior year, we were told that we would go to go to Europe with the choir for spring break the following year. Being the typical high school student, I was reluctant to go on a school trip for my senior spring break. Most of my friends were going to By Jessie Fetterling Puerto Valleta, Mexico. I preferred to partake in the nonstop tequila-sun-ocean fest that I knew I would miss out on if I went to Europe. My parents, however, pressured me into going on the choir trip because they loved the fact that they wouldn't have to worry about their firstborn drinking herself into a coma. With little explanation, my choir teacher decided to make me travel Europe with all of the juniors and sophomores on the trip instead of with my senior class. It felt like a punishment. Stubborn person that I am, though, I made the best of it and made friends with all of the underclassmen.Then, a couple days into the trip, I got caught drinking with some of them at an English pub.We were not allowed to sing for the next two concerts, and we had to be chaperoned wherever we went for two days. At first, I didn't think I'd care about not being able to sing for a couple of concerts, but as my fellow drinking buddies and I watched our peers from the audience, knowing every word and every part of every song, I regretted not being able to sing. My first concert back was in Cologne, Germany at a massive stone cathedral that had the best acoustics that our choir had ever experienced.The last song we sang was a piece of gospel music called "The Battle of Jericho."At the end of that song is a long pause where every section of the choir loudly held a different note. Our director made us hold that note for what seemed like forever. Our unified sound echoed throughout the entire cathedral, bouncing in and out of every corner for about 45 seconds.We had sung that song 1,000 times before, but it was at that moment that I knew I was happy to be on the trip and to be a part of the choir. I learned that day that I needed to be responsible for my actions and to stop being stubborn. I surprisingly became mad at myself for always blaming my teacher for taking the "fun" out of singing for me. I realized it wasn't just him. It was me. At some point, I stopped caring about singing and choir. I was disappointed in myself for letting my resentment get in the way of what mattered. A choir is about the group, and I realized that my relationship with the director had overshadowed that experience. I was in Europe, worrying about the one person who had held me back instead of focusing on the opportunity that our choir was had. From that day on, I started to like choir again, and I ended up leaving high school appreciating not necessarily the director; but the people in that choir. I had sung with lots of the students in that class for at least four years and grew into myself as a singer and as a person because of them. Freshman year of college, I signed up for choir again. This time, my choir director was everything that my high school director wasn't. He rarely yelled, and when he did, we deserved it. I only stayed in choir for a year, but I've continued to sing in a band, and even just sing for my friends, because it's what keeps me happy. 22 04.24.2008 VOL.5 ISS.29 图 interesting fact.

Maintenance workers hadn't even begun cleaning up the confetti that fell from the ceiling after KU's national title victory. And already, fans reached out to Russell Robinson. He rode in the back of a golf cart in the gray tunnels of the Alamodome from the locker room to the interview room. With his head in his hands, it was clear Robinson wanted peace, that he wanted time to reflect on the glory of what he'd been striving for since he arrived in Lawrence as a bony Bronx kid who tried to disguise his New York accent to fit in and couldn't get off the bench most of the year. A few kids interrupted the moment, chasing down the golf cart and shouting at Robinson. He gave up his quiet time for reflection to make the kids' day. Robinson smiled and slapped their hands at least five times. That moment is KU basketball.It's about championships, classy players, fans who care perhaps a little too much at times and love -love for the game, love for the tradition, love that binds anyone affiliated with KU basketball. Champions will always be remembered,but the 2008 Jayhawks should be particularly memorable for their perfect blend of selfless attitudes, care for the program and ability for everyone to find his own perfect role. This year's team had all the ingredients that make KU's program unique, starting with Robinson. Rodrick Stewart has a theory for why Robinson talks to kids at Lawrence elementary schools longer than anyone else and doesn't say no to fan requests. Robinson gets KU basketball all the chants, the history of winning, the often overbearing fans, the love. "He knows," Stewart said. "Russell wants to win more than anybody. He cares about the school's tradition and us winning more than anybody." He's also one of the major reasons BY MARK DENT MDENT@KANSAN.COM Kansas won the national championship. Sure, Robinson couldn't shoot. He'll tell you that the team often plays best when he doesn't score. Robinson wasn't very fast. He'll tell you he can't jump as high or run as fast as he could in high school. But Robinson understood his role and could lead. "He's like the quarterback of the team," Stewart said. With Robinson acting as leader, and Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, Sherron Collins and others all playing the role of hero at different times, this team understood each other, and they understood team basketball. That's why the Jayhawks are the 2008 national champions. Not too many other teams could do it. Rush, Chalmers, Collins and Darrell Arthur could have all been superstars at a variety of other schools. But that's not the Kansas way. They had to give in and put team glory above themselves. We all know how it ended: a romp against Roy in the national semifinal and an unforgettable finish in the national title game. This year will certainly be remembered for Chalmers' last shot and that last game, but that shouldn't be all anyone thinks of when 2008 is brought up. Remember the unselfish attitude of Robinson and how it spread. Remember how superstar talents created perfect chemistry. Remember how this team really was the perfect team for the KU program, one that Kansas fans shouldn't forget. On a gray February day in Stillwater, Okla., Darnell Jackson's commanding 6-foot-8 frame slipped quietly out of the locker room after a 61-60 loss at Oklahoma State. His shoulders slumped and exhausted, his face drenched in sorrow, Jackson peered toward the ground, his vulnerability flooding the lobby of Gallagher-Iba Arena. Kansas had just suffered its second loss in three games, leaving its record at 24-3. Worse, Jackson was grieving his cousins murder, which had occurred earlier that week. Kansas looked like a team in search of its soul. As Jackson searched the crowded lobby, he waded through a cluster of Jayhawk fans. "Darnell, Darnell," a man said, holding a piece of memorabilia to be autographed. "We met you last year, remember? We love you." Jackson's eyebrows arched. His lips curled. He did his best to stamp away the sadness. That moment in the lobby of Gallagher Iba Arena — that's what Kansas basketball is about. The banners and the championship trophies - those are just tangible results of the hard work and dedication by a group of young men. But in the end, those shiny pieces of hardware do little to explain the true heart and soul of Kansas basketball. It's about the seemingly spiritual connection between the player and fan. It's about the feelings people experience while watching five strangers throw a leather ball around a hardwood floor. It's about watching one team raise a school, a state and a nation of fans to a state of unimaginable euphoria. That state of raw bliss can be explained only by the people who experienced it. We all know how the season went after that loss to Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks banded together, and after 13 consecutive victories — four in the regular season, three in the Big 12 tournament and six in the NCAA tournament - Kansas earned the title of national champions inside the Alamodome in San Antonio. BY RUSTIN DODD DODD@KANSAN.COM But don't forget the other moments that made this year so special. Remember Russell Robinson, tears pouring down his face as he prepared to take the floor for the last time on senior night. And remember the smile Robinson's father, Russell Sr., displayed that same night, as his son couldn't miss. Remember Sasha Kaun's perfect game against Davidson, as he willed his teammates to the Final Four. Remember Bill Self's face, the day after the Kansas coach had earned his first trip to the Final Four. His face blotchy, his eyes sagging, his stubble visible, it was clearly the face of a man who had barely slept. Remember Cole Aldrich ripping a rebound away from North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough. "It was a blast," Aldrich said. Remember Kansas legend Danny Manning screaming at the Kansas bench, "Keep grinding," as North Carolina inched its way back into the game. Remember Mario Chalmers' miracle as it found the bottom of the net. Remember Chalmers' emotional embrace with his mother, Almarie, minutes after the confetti rained on the Alamodome court. Thirty minutes after Kansas had staked its place in history, Chalmers and the rest of the Jayhawk starters found themselves perched in front of microphones at the post-game press conference, trying to convey to strangers how it felt to be champs. But how could Chalmers explain what he had just done? "It was just a lucky shot," Chalmers said. No, Mario. We were the lucky ones. spring 2008 kansan staff Editor Darla Slipke Managing editors Matt Erickson Dianne Smith Design chief Drew Bergman Designers Kelsey Hayes Madeline Hyden Maddie Herman Peter C.

Five Kansas players scored in double figures, including a game-high 22 from sophomore guard Sherron Collins and a career-high 21 from senior forward Darnell Jackson. The Jayhawks took a 15-point lead into halftime and doubled it just seven minutes into the second half.

KANSAS 85 62 UMKC NOVEMBER 11,2007 Hawks battle to victory UMKC exposed some flaws in Kansas' armor, displaying a toughness that made the Jayhawks fight for the 85-62 victory. Turnovers and missed dunks against the Kangaroos' zone defense were problems for the Jayhawks. Shooting a dismal 16-31 from the free-throw line, Kansas seemed to lack what coach Bill Self called a "killer instinct." "I would say, 'maybe they played pretty good,'" he said. "I also think we made some plays that when we watch the tape, I'll say, 'Why would we do that in this situation?' You have a chance to break the game open and do a couple of things and let them back in it." Senior guard Russell Robinson paced the Jayhawks and filled the stat sheet with 15 points, nine assists, three rebounds and two steals in the victory. "I wasn't nervous," Robinson said. "We just traded baskets for a long time. We just have to buckle down defensively."

He missed badly on his first attempt, a three-pointer that bounced off the backboard, and was out-jumped for a rebound. After a break, Rush improved, though. He dished an assist to sophomore forward Darrell Arthur and knocked down a three from the corner to put the Jayhawks on top 20-13. He later fell to the ground out of bounds after a layup attempt, bringing a gasp from the home crowd, but he quickly jumped up, grabbed an offensive rebound and tipped the ball in.

The Jayhawks blew Northern Arizona away 87-46, and senior forward Darnell Jackson said the fans gave Kansas an advantage. "Watching those guys on film they looked real confident but when they came in here, I don't know what happened," Jackson said. "We got into them, and our fans helped us a lot. Our fans are a big turnaround point for our team." The Lumberjacks turned the ball over on their first seven possessions and were down at halftime 44-10.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 8 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS 76 A72 ARIZONA NOVEMBER 25, 2008 Hawks thrill in overtime KU slips by Arizona BY MARK DENT rndent@kansan.com The football Border War Nov. 24 had been hyped as the showdown of the century between two bitter rivals. It was as if basketball, and Kansas' game against Arizona, didn't exist. A day after the Kansas and Missouri football madness, the Jayhawks and Wildcats, who have their own little rivalry, put on a show that should help remind fans that basketball season is here and that it might be pretty exciting. Kansas won 76-72 in overtime. The thriller included a 27-point performance from Arizona's Chase Budinger, a half-court buzzer beater that almost fell and plenty of highlights from junior guard Brandon Rush and senior guard Rodrick Stewart. The Jayhawks earned their first major victory of the season, after defeating lowerlevel Division-I opponents in their first four games. "It felt good," Rush said about the victory. "The energy was there." It was Rush who gave the Jayhawks a boost when they badly needed it. Doctors told Kansas coach Bill Self before the game that Rush could play 20 minutes. Whoops. Rush played 36 minutes because of foul trouble for Stewart and for senior guard Russell Robinson and an injury to freshman guard Tyrel Reed. Rush scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Rush said that he didn't feel tired or sore during the game or after it but that he wished he had played better defense. The game's outcome easily could have been different if he had played fewer minutes. After baskets by Stewart and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur broke a 62-62 tie in overtime, Rush swiped a pass at midcourt and dribbed in for an easy dunk that gave Kansas a 71-65 lead. He received an alley-oop pass from Robinson on the next play to all but seal the victory. "We needed Brandon tonight," junior guard Mario Chalmers said. "He was big for us. He came in and gave us some great minutes, great points and great production. We really needed that from him, and I think he needed that for himself." Self said Kansas didn't shoot well from the outside (it only scored 16 points that weren't free throws or scored in the paint), but the rebounding problem really bothered him.

Jackson, a senior forward, scored 13 points, and the Jayhawks ran away with an 87-49 victory. Coach Bill Self said Jackson had the best shot of any Kansas big man since former All-American Wayne Simien. "I've said all along he's a good shooter," Self said. "He doesn't need to fall in love with that shot, but he's certainly a good shooter. I trust his shot." Coming off the bench, Kaun pulled down seven rebounds and added seven points in 16 minutes. A 13-0 run in the first half and a 23-3 run in the second half put the game away for Kansas, but Self said there was always room for improvement, particularly on the boards, where Kansas outrebounded Florida Atlantic 37-32. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Tara Smith 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 9 KANSAS 59 55 USC DECEMBER 2, 2007 California dreaming Hawks win on big stage Chalmers make the clutch three-pointer. BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com LOS ANGELES — The only thought on Rodrick Stewart's mind was to not turn the ball over. Junior guard Mario Chalmers had just passed him the ball as the shot clock ticked down with less than 30 seconds to go and Kansas nursing a 55-53 lead. Stewart, a senior guard who transferred from Southern California, had already been called for two travels and a charge during his homecoming game. He couldn't mess up again. Sureenough, Stewart found Chalmers open, and Chalmers made a shot from several feet behind the three-point line as the shot clock expired. The basket sealed Kansas' 59-55 victory against Southern California. Kansas coach Bill Self designed a play that should've ended with senior forward Darnell Jackson shooting the ball down low. Chalmers said he passed the ball to Stewart because he thought Stewart had a better angle to throw the ball to Jackson. Stewart instead passed the ball immediately to Chalmers. Although the play was designed for Jackson, he had no problem letting "I think Mario's the big-shot guy for us," Jackson said. "If Mario's not out there, it's Brandon. One of those two is always going to make big shots for us." The shot was pretty; the rest of the game wasn't. For the second Sunday in a row, the Jayhawks won an ugly game against a quality opponent. The victory certainly wasn't easy for Kansas. Self said that USC would probably be the best team the Jayhawks would face until conference play and that his team needed this test. "You have to win games where you don't play great, especially on the road," Self said. "That was one of those grind-it-out games where we competed hard. We didn't execute worth a flip, but we competed hard." 5 5 13 Junior guard Brandon Rush shoots in the first half of the Dec. 2 USC game in Los Angeles.The victory wasn't pretty, but some clutch play in the final minutes sealed the score at 59-55. ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS 85 47 EASTERN WASHINGTON DECEMBER 5, 2007 Rush dominates the glass Junior guard Brandon Rush is used to leading his team in points. But in an 85-47 victory against the Eastern Washington Eagles, Rush grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds. Kansas coach Bill Self said Rush's impressive rebounding meant he was closer to being fully recovered from knee surgery. But it also might have been a reflection on the size advantage Kansas possessed in the game. Except for one player, Eastern Washington's entire roster was smaller than 6-foot-4. The Jayhawks exploited it and out-rebounded the Eagles 48-27. Senior forward Darnell Jackson and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur had a field day in the paint and combined to score 32 points. "We figure if you get inside, a lot of good things will happen," senior guard Russell Robinson said.

A year ago, DePaul upset Kansas in Chicago. But that wasn't about to happen in Allen Fieldhouse — not if senior center Sasha Kaun had anything to say about it. Kaun, who had been demoted to a reserve just three games before, turned in his best game of the young season with 15 points and five rebounds. "I just had to regroup and play strong," Kaun said. "That was the big thing." Leading Scorer — Sasha Kaun (15) Leading Rebounder — Mario Chalmers (9) He was also the key contributor in a 24-1 Kansas run late in the first half that put the game away. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins also returned from a foot injury two weeks ahead of schedule and scored six points.

Case Keefer KANSAS 88 51 OHIO DECEMBER 15,2007 Rush makes season start Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't plan it that way, but the story was almost too good to be true Dec. 15. Junior guard Brandon Rush made his first start of the season in front of a hometown crowd in Kansas City, Mo. The Jayhawks christened the brand-new Sprint Center with an 88-51 victory against the Ohio Bobcats. Kansas City's new downtown arena received fabulous reviews from all the players, who said it was a major upgrade from Kemper Arena. As for the game, it was never in doubt. Rush responded to the starting role by scoring 11 points in the opening 10 minutes and hit three three-pointers. Senior guard Russell Robinson dished out a career-high 11 assists. "It just felt good to come here, get a win against good competition and just be home," Rush said. Case Keefer THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 11 KANSAS 71 GT66 GEORGIA TECH DECEMBER 18,2007 Barely hanging on BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com ATLANTA - It should've been a sequel devoid of drama. With a 10-point lead and less than three minutes remaining, Kansas should've eased its way to victory and made Georgia Tech fans long for the two schools' overtime classics of 2004 and 2005. Instead, the Jayhawks erred down the stretch and didn't have the 71-66 victory under wraps until Tech's Matt Causey and Zack Peacock lost the ball at half court with about five seconds left. The Georgia Tech-Kansas trilogy was a thriller for all three installments — not that Kansas coach Bill Self cared. "I didn't expect it to go down to the wire when we were up 13 with five minutes left," he said. "Our missed free throws, Darnell's fifth foul and throwing the ball out of bounds — we certainly hurt ourselves late." Causey cut Kansas' lead to 67-62 by making a three-pointer with 54 seconds left. His steal of a Sherron Collins pass and ensuing layup on Tech's next possession made it a three-point game. Missed free throws by Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson allowed the Jackets' run to continue. Finally, after Tech got within one point Collins made two free throws to give the Jayhawks a 69-66 lead with nine seconds left. The victory brought more relief than celebration. "In my mind," Self said, "you've got an eight-point lead against USC, you should finish it off. Tonight, we were also up eight with two minutes left. Hopefully, it's not a characteristic that we let teams back in it at the end of games, but it's good to make some plays at the end." KANSAS 78 54 MIAMI OH DECEMBER 22, 2007 Sturdy defense dismantled Miami (Ohio) came into the game against Kansas with a vaunted defense. But the layhawks dismantled it. Kansas became the first team in 45 games to score 70 points on the RedHawks and rolled to a smooth 78-54 victory. The Jayhawks started the slaughter by going through their big men. Senior forward Darnell Jackson and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur scored 12 of the team's first 18 points. They pulled away midway through the first half with a 13-0 run. The statistics indicate a typical Kansas game season as there was no stand-out performer. Arthur, Jackson, junior guard Brandon Rush and junior guard Mario Chalmers all scored at least 10 points. RedHawk players were impressed with the Jayhawks. "Out of all of the teams, North Carolina. Duke and all of them, they are the best team that I have seen," junior guard Kenny Hayes said. "I think they are the best team in the country." Case Keefer 24 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Sasha Kaun's dunk puts an explanation on a powerful effort by Kansas in its 78-54 victory against Miami (Ohio). KANSAS 86 53 YALE DECEMBER 29, 2007 86 53 YALE Jayhawks steal victory Senior guard Russell Robinson might as well have robbed a bank on this night because he was stealing everything. Robinson led the Jayhawks to a 86-53 victory against the Yale Bulldogs by recording eight steals, one short of the Kansas single-game record held by Aaron Miles. It wasn't only Robinson. As a team, the Jayhawks swiped the ball away 18 times — the most for the team in 10 years. Kansas' offense benefited from the defensive pressure. Four Jayhawks scored in double figures, and two more had eight points. "Getting out and getting steals is so great because we've got athletic guys that we can get out there and make some athletic plays in transition," Robinson said. Mario Chalmers scored his 1,000th career point in the victory. Case Keefer 32 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Senior forward Darnell Jackson soars for a slam against the Yale Bulldogs in a 86-53 Kansas blowout.

Boston College pulled within 14, its closest margin since the first half, and Mario Chalmers slipped into Sanders' chest. It was an accident, but Sanders didn't think so. He got in Chalmers' face, saying a few words to the junior guard. Not a bright idea. Although the fight never escalated into something serious after the referees and Darnell Jackson played peacemakers, Kansas responded with a different kind of punch. The Jayhawks started a 13-2 run midway through the second half and dashed all the Eagles' momentum in a game the Jayhawks won 85-60 Jan. 5 at Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Mass. "It fired us up a lot," said Jackson, senior forward. "I'm glad it didn't go above the roof where wed have to fight. Everybody just came out. We all just said our words and went out there and competed." Jackson started the final run with a layup in transition, and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur scored the next four points with two free throws and a put-back. It was fitting that the Jayhawks went to the two post players to seal the game because Jackson and Arthur hadn't come up big since the game's opening minutes. They scored 15 of Kansas' first 17 points. By the end, Jackson had a career-high 25 points, and Arthur scored 22 in just 24 minutes. The duo made 19 of 25 field goals and 9 of 10 free throws. "I thought we were more aggressive," Arthur said. "We tried to attack their bigs. They had a great shot blocker in there with Blair, and we tried to attack him and get him into foul trouble. I thought we did a good job trying to go inside and attacking the rim, getting offensive rebounds." With Arthur and Jackson leading the charge, the Jayhawks put together one of their most complete performances of the season. Kansas' two previous road games were as nerve-wracking as they could be for an undefeated team. No lead was safe. Turnovers came aplenty. Scoring droughts struck like the game was in the Sahara. Those problems didn't lead to losses at Southern California or Georgia Tech, but they did create frustrating games that the Jayhawks won by a combined nine points when they should've won comfortably. This time it all came together. Kansas shot 53 percent from the field, outrebounded Boston College by 15, picked up 10 steals and turned the ball over only 10 times. The Jayhawks pulled away in the first half with a 25-7 run in the final eight minutes. The Eagles made a move when Kansas' offense stalled midway through the second half, but the altercation between Sanders and Chalmers helped bring the intensity back. "I don't think we have any limits if they're playing like that," Chalmers said. [Celebrate Tradition @ The Eldridge] Congratulations Hawks on your 2008 victory!

He told the media it blew his speech out of proportion. But the message had to have meant something, right? Well, it sure appears that way. Kansas won 79-59 at Nebraska Jan. 12 behind Rush's hot hand. Rush, a junior guard, scored 19 points as the Jayhawks won their Big 12 opener with relative ease. And although Self downplayed the speech, Rush took it to heart. early 14-5 lead. Self was pleased. "He was aggressive," Self said. "I thought he looked like the old Brandon, to be honest with you." KANSAS 32 "I was dying to get out there," he said. It showed. Rush made it apparent from the beginning that he was ready to be a focal point of the offense. He made two three-pointers in the first three minutes then added two free throws to give his team an Self's speech to Rush came on the heels of a month of sub-par offensive performances. Sure, Rush is still recovering from ACL surgery, but he played even more tentatively on offense than he did in his first two years. All that changed in the game against Nebraska because Rush did a better job of putting himself in position to score, said Self. . "Anytime Brandon has that many assists," Self said, "it's a good thing." Self's speech worked — for one game. Will Rush remember his words down the road? "That's going to be the last time he ever says something to me," Rush said. "I think I'm back."

KANSAS 85 55 OKLAHOMA JANUARY 14,2008 Jayhawks to 'just get better' OKLAHOMA Jon Goering/KANSAN The Oklahoma Sooners suffered a stunning 85-55 defeat at the hands of Kansas Jan. 14, prompting Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel to say about Kansas, "They are the best team we have played, and we have played some really good teams." BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com It all came down to a play. Yep, just one — the very first one. Darnell Jackson took the tipoff from Darrell Arthur, slammed the ball in the face of Oklahoma's David Godbold and let out a scream. Over. "That set the tone for the whole game," junior guard Brandon Rush said. "He was outhustling everybody and cramming the ball on someone's head — started the whole game off right." A game did take place after that play, but nothing the Sooners tried really mattered in an 85-55 Kansas victory. The Jayhawks were on their way and couldn't be stopped. Each passing minute brought more examples of Kansas' continuing dominance and balance in the victory, the team's 17th straight to start the season and one that further cemented its reputation as one of the nation's best. The Jayhawks followed Jackson's opening jam with a systematic, routine slapping of Oklahoma. Brandon Rush hit a threepointer, and Mario Chalmers and Jackson followed with a basket each to make it 9-0 early. It was 20-4 later and 40-20 at half. The display was as dominant as anything Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel had seen this season: "They are the best team that we have played, and we have played some really good teams." The Jan. 14 crisp display came just two days after the Jan. 12 Nebraska thumping No.1 North Carolina and Memphis are considered the top teams in the country, and there is no reason Kansas shouldn't be in the discussion. Capel certainly agreed. The praise, the rankings, the record - all of them meant nothing to Kansas, though. "Let's just get better," coach Bill Self said.

Jon Goering/KANSAN Jayhawks hold on after less-than-perfect performance BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com COLUMBIA, Mo. — Before Kansas took the floor against Missouri on Jan. 19, coach Bill Self told his team about a "crazy day in college basketball." He just saw North Carolina fall to Maryland, Kansas State surprise Texas A&M and USC win the battle of Los Angeles against UCLA. "You'd think Missouri would get their eyes wide open and think, 'That could be us,' senior guard Russell Robinson said. "So, it put a little more pressure on us, but we were able to handle business like we were supposed to." The then-undefeated Jayhawks hardly played perfect in the 76-70 victory, though. They missed free throws, picked up stupid fouls and shot below average. For a while, an upset looked likely. Missouri, a team of maddening inconsistency, gave the Jayhawks its best shot early in the game. They led most of the first half, but late in the game, Mizzou pulled within three as guard Daniel Horton made some clutch shots. But for the rest of the game, Kansas again showed it could win even when not playing its best. As junior guard Brandon Rush said, "We didn't play good at all. We had a lot of mental breakdowns, so it felt good to just get a win." More than a month had passed since Kansas played a close game. Since a tight victory at Georgia Tech, Kansas was steam-rolling big teams like Boston College, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Each game displayed crisp passing, relentless defense and sharp shooting. The Jayhawks looked unbeatable. However, that team was gone on Jan. 19. Kansas made just 40 percent of its shots and bricked free throws down the stretch. Players who sizzled in earlier games froze up. Rush missed 12 of 14 shots, and Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur both got into Self gave Missouri's shifting defense credit for the Jayhawk problems. In fact, Self said he hadn't seen Chalmers and Robinson as fast on offense all season. foul trouble. Despite the victory, Kansas dropped to No. 2 after the Memphis Tigers blew out Southern Mississippi on Jan. 19. The Jayhawks had to settle for second. Self doesn't mind, though, but Robinson thought Kansas deserved recognition after defeating its rival in a close game. "I think we're the best team in the nation," Robinson said, "but until you get out there and play that game, you don't know who's best." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 15 KANSAS 83 59 IOWA STATE JANUARY 23,2008 Jackson's leadership, points give team energy Jon Goering/KANSAN DONESTA 4 SARRETY 10 BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur rises above the Iowa State defense to sink a shot Jan. 23. Bill Self wanted to go crazy on his team at practice. It had been way too long since he had chewed anyone out. So, he went nuts on Darnell Jackson for a few minutes. The senior forward glanced at him and broke out a big smile. "He's just enjoying everything," Self said. "I can't get under his skin even if I tried." And Self has to be getting enjoyment out of Jackson, too. His breakout senior season continued Jan. 23 in Kansas' 83-59 victory. Jackson finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Earlier this season, the stat-line would have been a surprise. Now, it's normal. Jackson was the team's second-leading scorer and top rebounder. "It was the same routine," Jackson said. "I just try to do what I can." The energetic, fun side of Jackson on display didn't exist two years ago. Self said Jackson would've thought he was crazy if he lashed out at him in the past. That's changed. His mind is freer because it was his senior year, and several family problems are finally out of his head. The attitude change has allowed Jackson to become Kansas' main leader in the locker room. The teams feed off his energy. So did the crowd. "It's a win-win," Self said. "Darnell can bring up the mood in any room." The Jayhawks needed Jackson's points and leadership Jan. 23 in a game where Self said they lacked energy. Kansas (19-0, 4-0) won big and kept its perfect record intact. "That wasn't the same team that was jacked up against OU," Self said. "We didn't have the same level defensively." The Cyclones' defense also made transition baskets hard to come by. They routinely sent just one or two players to the glass on offense and had three or four players go back to slow Kansas' fast break. The game plan made senior guard Russell Robinson's job a lot tougher. That was apparent given Kansas' inability to force turnovers. The Cyclones only turned the ball over 11 times, and the Jayhawks only had seven steals. "It seemed like every time there was an outlet pass," Robinson said, "there was no transition game." The Jayhawks were still able to turn a 10-point halftime lead into a 22-point advantage early in the second half, but they needed Jackson and fellow big men Darrell Arthur and Sasha Kaun to do it. Iowa State limited Kansas' running game and its guards' scoring opportunities. Kaun, Arthur and Jackson nullified the defense's attempts by combining for 43 points. But Jackson didn't stand out Jan. 23 just because of his scoring. His 11 rebounds gave him his first double-double of the season. It was about time, too. Assistant coach Danny Manning started calling Jackson "trick" because he continually flirted with a double-double. Now, with a care-free Jackson happy about his play and his team's undefeated record, it shouldn't be a surprise that he enjoyed the double-double. Finally, Jackson got one. Two years ago who knows if Jackson would have even wanted to soak in the moment. KANSAS 84 N 49 NEBRASKA JANUARY 26, 2008 "I just looked at him," Jackson said, "and smiled." Husker defeat not enough to think about K-State BECKY BAYLEE Mindv Ricketts/KANSAN Nebraska coaches Philip Mathews, left, and Doc Sadler show their disappointment as the Jayhawks defeat the Cornhuskers 84-49 Jan.26. BY MARK DENT.mdent@kansan.com A letdown would have almost been natural. It was just two weeks ago that the Jayhawks tormented Nebraska on the road. Why take them seriously this time? A date with rival Kansas State loomed as the next game on the schedule. Shouldn't that be more important? With those circumstances, no one would have blamed the players if they lollygagged around to a 15- or 20-point victory. But they didn't. Instead, the Jayhawks (20-0, 5-0) again showed why they are one of the best, most focused teams in the country with an 84-49 pounding against Nebraska. Not counting a six-point win against Missouri, and the Jayhawks are dispatching conference opponents by more than 27 points a game. "Everybody just does their job," senior forward Darnell Jackson said, "and we get energy from that. You don't want to lose. You don't want to go out there and disappoint the coaching staff." Actually, Kansas was more energetic than usual. The energy that wasn't quite there Jan. 23 against Iowa State reappeared against Nebraska. In a hurry. By halftime, Kansas forced seven steals and had 10 points in transition. The Jayhawks only had seven steals for the entire game against the Cyclones. Their 10 fast break points were more than they had scored the past two games combined. The small problems that bothered Kansas were solved. The Jayhawks could run and steal again. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins said it was about time. "Coach said we have to start forcing turnovers on the defensive end," Collins said. "Like I said, we're fine where we're at, but we have to take more steps to get more pressure. But I think we did a pretty good job today." Of course, this wasn't against the best competition in the conference. Actually, it was against the worst. Nebraska proved no match for sophomore forward Darrell Arthur, who scored 18, and junior guard Brandon Rush, who made five three-pointers. Senior guard Russell Robinson finished with four steals, and Collins scored in double-figures for the first time since Jan. 8. The whole team seemed to be on a level above Nebraska. That's the way Huskers coach Doc Sadler saw it. "I'm not convinced that a superior perfect game is good enough to beat these guys for us," Sadler said. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 16 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS 75 84 KANSAS STATE JANUARY 30.2008 Beasley shuts down Hawks' 25-year streak CLEVELAND The Kansas State Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks in Manhattan Jan. 30. It was the first time in 25 years that Kansas State had a home victory against Kansas."It just wasn't our night," junior guard Brandon Rush said. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com MANHATTAN - All the bad feelings finally returned. The perfect start ended. Brady Morningstar leaned on a slumpedover Sherron Collins. Chase Buford, dressed in street clothes, patted Tyrel Reed on his head. Brandon Rush stared forward, not looking behind at the court. None of the Jayhawks wanted to look that direction. That's where the party was. Kansas State won 84-75 Jan. 30, its first home victory against in its rival in 25 years, and the celebration was starting. Fans, who had screamed and booed in a ravenous, vengeful tone for 40 minutes, lifted Michael Beasley, their basketball savior, on their shoulders. Forward Bill Walker, also on top of the crowd, felt vindicated by the victory. "Who in here actually thought we could win tonight?" he asked. The players and fans had good reason to cherish the victory. They deserved it. "K-State was just a better team than we were tonight," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "offensively and defensive" That was a shock. Before the game, the hype centered around superb freshman forward Beasley. Everyone knew he was the best player on the court. Would the No. 2 team or the No. 1 freshman win? The rest of the K-State team got lost amid the talk. Walker scored 12 points in the first half to give his team an early lead, and Self said the Wildcats' guards sped up Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins, who were supposed be the superior players. "The way that team started gave them confidence," Self said, "and put us on our heels." It didn't help that the Wildcats couldn't miss. They made 12 of 26 three-pointers, and several of them came during times when Kansas was starting to come back. "It just wasn't our night," junior guard Brandon Rush said. But K-State's victory wasn't lucky. Its players came through. Freshman guard Jacob Pullen scored 18 points in the second half and didn't miss a free throw. He, Beasley and Walker - all freshmen - combined to score 67 points. Kansas' players had been through NCAA Tournaments, Big 12 Championships and countless rivalry games. They didn't show it, though. Collins said the guards often got into the lane then threw the ball away. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur played brilliantly offensively but hurt himself by picking up his fourth foul early in the second half. The performance was far different from those the Jayhawks gave in other tight games against Arizona, Southern California, Missouri and Georgia Tech. "We didn't take advantage of our opportunities," Arthur said. Because of that, the Jayhawks not only lost their perfect record but lost their position atop the conference. Kansas was now one game behind the Wildcats, who were still undefeated in conference play. It was the first time the Jayhawks had lost, and Self said the players could use it for their benefit if they improved. A big test for Kansas wouldn't come until Feb. 11 at Texas. "This could be a good thing for us in the long run," Self said, "but certainly, it stings." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 17 KANSAS 72 59 COLORADO FEBRUARY 2, 2008 Kansas overcomes tie at half, bounces back with victory BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com BOULDER, Colo. — The intensity and furor that Kansas showed in the nonconference season and early Big 12 play felt like a distant memory in the game's first 20 minutes. A loss to, gasp, Colorado, seemed like a possibility. Kansas Coach Bill Self didn't want his team to lose its second straight game, especially to the dismal Buffaloes. "No one is going to throw you a pity party because you lost a game," Self said to his team at the half with the game tied at 30. And no one had to. Kansas (21-1, 6-1) won 72-59, using an 8-0 run to open the second half, and put it away with an 11-2 run late in the game Feb. 2. "I think coach changed it at halftime," sophomore guard Sherron Collins said. "We came out with more energy and changed it from there." Collins and the other guards needed the talk the most. They just weren't pressuring the ball like they used to. Earlier in the season, guards Collins, Brandon Rush, Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers stole as easy as Danny Ocean's crew. On Feb. 2, though, they had about as much success with theft as the wet bandits from "Home Alone." KU's defense didn't steal the ball once in the first half, and the defensive woes went far deeper than that. Colorado's guards got almost any shot they wanted. Richard Roby made his first four shots, and Cory Higgins made all five of his in the first 20 minutes. They outplayed Collins, Rush and Chalmers, who scored a combined 10 points on four of 10 field goals. Collins, Rush and Chalmers scored 22 points on eight of 13 shooting in the final 20 minutes. Roby and Higgins scored just 12, and all of them were Roby's. Chalmers sparked the early 8-0 run with two steals. "I think they felt like they had something to prove," Self said.

Collins finished the game with 12 points, four rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes. Kansas earns fifth straight victory against Missouri BY MARKDENT mdent@kansan.com Orange specks dotted the student section on Feb. 4, an attempt at an orange out. The fans who donned the orange shirts wanted to show their superiority over Missouri in football, to prove that Kansas had the better season even though it lost to the Tigers. They didn't have to resort to these gimmicks in basketball. No way. Kansas defeated the Tigers 90-71 on Feb. 4 at Allen Fieldhouse for its fifth victory in a row against its rival. It ties the amount of consecutive victories Kansas had against Missouri from 2001 to 2003 and is one less than the six straight the Jayhawks won from 1965 to 1967. This one came relatively easy. Kansas showed no signs of offensive sluggishness as it did against Colorado. Junior guard Brandon Rush hit a contested three on his team's first possession. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur slammed it home and hung on the rim on the next. The offense was so good that senior center Sasha Kaun scored by pulling on the rim and not even touching the ball. Twice. This was good old-fashioned athletic Kansas basketball. But the offensive blitz and relentless crowd didn't frighten the Tigers at first. They were nearly a full team now, with everyone back from suspension except senior guard Stefhon Hannah, and they played like it. Missouri responded to every KU basket with one of its own until late in the first half. "This is great tonight. I'm happy we won and all that stuff," Self said. "But this doesn't feel as good as that felt bad. Hopefully we can get a win in the future that will feel that good." Grade A location meets Grade A education.

KU EDWARDS CAMPUS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The University of Kansas 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 19 KANSAS 100 90 BAYLOR FEBRUARY 9,2008 Collins plays as 'spark' in game Wilson BAYLOR 0 Jayhawks plays defense against the Baylor Bears for a 100-90 victory. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins returned to the court after a recent injury. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com His defenders knew a speed burst was coming. Collins could go left, or he could go right. Either way, his move would be fast, and the play would likely end with him beating his man to the rim. The old Sherron Collins tantalized opponents when he stood at the top of the key, dribbling the ball slowly between his legs with eyes gazing forward to the hoop. That was the old Collins. The one who darted through holes and gaps like a Plinko chip. He hadn't been around since a November ankle injury. Finally, he was back at Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 9, sparking Kansas in the second half of a 100-90 victory against Baylor. The comeback was supposed to be complete in January. "Shady was terrific," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Russell was solid and played great, but Sherron was the spark. In the second half he changed the pace of the game." Back then, Self announced that the old Collins was back. He had just scored 18 points against Loyola Maryland, his best game since returning in December from the injury. It wasn't the points that caught Self's attention, it was Collins' quadricep muscles. He said Collins' quads were finally firing, meaning they were getting stronger and giving Collins some of his speed back. Collins' productivity didn't last. He made just 10 of 30 field goals during the next four games, never reaching doublefigure scoring and never getting more than three assists in a game. Even on good nights, something wasn't right. Collins couldn't slice through the lane like he had as a freshman and earlier in the season. It's not that he wasn't trying. His body just ached from the injuries. "Sometimes your mind is telling you that you can still do it," Collins said, "but your body won't let you. Sometimes I just forced things and played conservative. I was still confident. I just knew sometimes I couldn't make those plays." He could finally make them on Feb. 9. On one play in the middle of the second half, Collins grabbed a rebound and sprinted down the court for a layup. It took just three seconds. He found Brandon Rush in transition before scoring on another contested layup on the next play. It was a 6-0 Kansas run and gave the Jayhawks a 67-56 lead. "We needed a spark," he said. "It was just dead. Nobody was speaking up. We just needed a spark, and I just tried to come in and provide that." Collins finished with 17 points and four assists and said his health was at 95 percent. He made a difference in the second half, but he wasn't the only one. Senior guard Russell Robinson and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur both had arguably their best games of the year. Robinson had 22 points, and Arthur finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds. They combined to make 21 of 24 free throws, and the team hit 36 of 46 from the charity stripe for the game. All the foul shots were necessary, too. Kansas didn't make a single threepointer, going zero for nine from long range. It was the first time that happened in 270 games, a streak that dated back to February 2000. Control of the ball, highlighted by only one second-half turnover, and the marksmanship from the foul line still allowed the Jayhawks to score 100 points. "That's probably about as good as we've played offensively all year," Self said. They needed that good of a performance to better Curtis Jerrells, Henry Dugat and the rest of Baylor's high-powered offense. Robinson said they were the best group of guards he'd played all season. His opinion could changed when Kansas faced Texas. The headliner was D.J. Augustin. He was fast and could drive, shoot and pass. With his 19.7 points and 5.8 assists per game, he's a national player of the year candidate and has made the Longhorns one of the nation's top teams this season, even without prodigy Kevin Durant, who's playing for the Seattle Supersonics. "That might be the best one individual player I'll go against all year," Robinson said of Augustin. "It's going to be a challenge, and I'm up for challenges. We just have to make sure he doesn't take control of the game." It didn't help that Kansas' game was in Austin. The city that's generally beloved by college students has been a nightmare for the Jayhawks since the formation of the Big 12. Kansas was 2-3 at Texas and has lost those three games by an average margin of by 18 points a game. To win, the Jayhawks would have had to contain Augustin. They just took care of an all-star cast of guards against Baylor. "I don't want to say that's what we've been missing," Self said about Collins, "but from a health standpoint, he looked faster tonight than he's looked all year." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 20 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS 69 72 TEXAS FEBRUARY 11,2008 Jayhawks fall against Texas Kansas endures second loss of the season, remains optimistic BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com AUSTIN, Texas - All the talk about No.1 seeds, Final Fours and even Big 12 Championships needed to stop for Kansas, at least for a while. The Jayhawks needed to get a marquee victory before all that chatter could start back up again. Kansas lost to No. 11 Texas 72-69 Monday, Feb. 11 at the Erwin Center when Mario Chalmers' last second shot hit the back of the rim. It was the second loss in two weeks for the Jayhawks (23-2, 8-2). They lost to Kansas State in Manhattan Jan. 30 and just like in that game, Kansas was outplayed and outhustled by a team it was favored to beat. That act was already getting old for Kansas coach Bill Self. "I think they out-manned us in the second half," he said. For the first 20 minutes, Kansas' offense was dominant. The Jayhawks found out, again, that they play their best ball when the offense goes through the post. Darnell Jackson and Darrell Arthur combined to score 25 points in the first half. Sasha Kaun and Cole Aldrich pitched in another four. Kansas' frontcourt was too much for Texas, which saw its best forward, Damion James, exit with foul trouble early on. The Jayhawks put up 42 points and outrebounded the soft-looking Longhorns by 10. At halftime, Self told his players they would need to play even harder inside in the second half, and that the Longhorns' poor performance inside was a fluke. But when Texas coach Rick Barnes got wise to the Jayhawks' low post offense and geared his defense toward stopping it, Arthur and Jackson couldn't adjust. Arthur picked up two quick fouls, pouted on defense and showed why his consistency is still a work in progress. He and Jackson scored just 10 points in the second half. "They trapped the post a lot," Arthur said. "It was hard to score." While they struggled, James came back with a vengeance. He scored 12 of his 14 points and grabbed all of his 13 rebounds after intermission. "Damion had a chance to sit on the bench in the first half and let it boil a bit," Self said. "Then he kicked our butts in the second half." The post players' worst sins came late in the game. Texas scored two major baskets on put-back dunks with less than five minutes to go. The second one gave the Longhorns a 66-61 lead. In the final 1:30 of the game, Kansas gave up two more offensive rebounds. The second came when the ball bounced off Brandon Rush's head. In the second half, after Self pleaded with his players to dial up the intensity, Texas outrebounded Kansas 23-12. "They got a lot of second-chance buckets," Arthur said. "That killed us." Despite the problems, Kansas still had an opportunity to tie. Trailing by three in the final seconds, Chalmers missed an off-balanced but open three-pointer. Self said his team killed the final play by moving the ball to the wrong side of the court. The miss sent the Jayhawks back into the locker room hurting and still missing that important victory against a consistent top 25 team. Southern California was ranked when the Jayhawks won against the team in December, but the Trojans have been out of the rankings since. Ditto for Arizona. The Jayhawks' other big victories have come against Boston College, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma and Baylor. None of those teams were in the top 25 when Kansas played against them. In Kansas' two toughest tests the Jayhawks have come up lame, first in a loss to the Wildcats, and then to Texas. Chalmers said the team could do it. "We're still the favorites," he said. "That's what's in our minds." KANSAS 15 Junior guard Mario Chalmers watches his last-second shot hit the back of the rim, resulting in a 72-69 loss against Texas on Feb. 11.

Balls flew everywhere. No one looked sharp. "We were ugh," coach Bill Self said. After a few minutes, Self called a huddle to see what was wrong and asked the players if they were nervous because Brown was there. Every one of them raised their hands. "You don't want to give him any bad breath about you," Jackson said. Darnell Jackson admitted to trying too hard. That practice might have been a mess, but the team left a better impression on Brown on Feb.17. Kansas (24-2, 9-2) beat Colorado 69-45 with a dominant defensive performance in front of Brown and more than 200 former team members who were there for the 110-year reunion. The former Jayhawks had to sit through a game that was bogged down by long possessions and few fast breaks, not typical KU basketball, but that's what Self wanted. "We picked a good day to have average energy level," Self said, "because if you're really into it big time that's when they play the best." After this game, Kansas didn't play for Kansas outrebounded Colorado by 14. They also made half of their threes after shooting 15 percent in their last two games. another week. Self said the time off would help his team rest and also calm down the fans who were getting worried after the previous week's loss to Texas. "We still have the second-best record in the country," he said. "Something that's bad sometimes gets blown out of proportion. Losing isn't acceptable, but certainly it's part of life in the game of college basketball." Jackson said that could happen soon if they stayed focused, and because of Brown, he was more motivated than ever to do that. "He told us to have no wasted days," Jackson said. "If you're feeling bad or your stomach hurts, you have to go in there and push yourself."

Kansas fell to 9-3 in the Big 12 with the loss and dropped to second place in the conference behind Texas. Rush misses last-second shot; Collins barely plays because of injury BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com STILLWATER, Okla. — With two seconds left in Kansas' 61-60 loss to Oklahoma State, junior Brandon Rush found himself with the ball in the corner. Rush head-faked once and hoisted up a last-second heave. Rush's shot drew nothing but rim. "I thought it was going to bounce in," Rush said. "A miracle was going to happen." Go figure. Kansas needed miracles to beat a normally toothless Oklahoma State team. Who would have ever thought that? Certainly not the folks who witnessed Kansas' 20-0 start, and certainly not the Jayhawks themselves. And unlike in Kansas first two road losses against Kansas State and Texas, which were deemed as excusable losses to good teams in tough environments, the Jayhawks looked shockingly ordinary on Feb.25. "We stunk, I mean, we stunk," Kansas coach Bill Self said. It didn't get much prettier. Arthur's technical gave him two fouls in the first half, and he played only 17 minutes, finishing with six points. "There's not many good players out there that can produce if they're only playing 15 minutes a game," Self said. Kansas was also hamstrung by Sherron Collins' knee injury. The sophomore guard played only 11 minutes and missed his only shot. Self said Collins practiced only 15 minutes the entire week. "He's a shadow of what he can be," Self said. "Hopefully, he'll get back where he can help us. I certainly would have played him more, if he was capable." The Jayhawks did show some resiliency in the second half. Down 48-39 with 10:20 left in the second half, Rush sparked a 19-6 run that gave Kansas a 58-54 lead. "We had the game sealed," Rush said. Rush's performance mirrored the Jayhawks' day. The junior was abysmal in the first half, going scoreless and missing all five of his shots. Rush rebounded in the second half with 12 points, but his miss in the waning second sealed Kansas' loss. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 23 KANSAS 75 64 IOWA STATE FEBRUARY 27, 2008 Jayhawks bounce back for 'quality' victory BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com AMES, Iowa - Russell Robinson watched the calendar with extra interest. March was approaching. "March is right around the corner, a couple days away," Robinson said. "This is crunch time for us now. We have to turn around and start playing our best basketball." Kansas made progress, defeating the Cyclones 75-64 on Feb.27 at Hilton Coliseum. Instead of falling apart like they did in recent away games against the Cowboys and Longhorns, the Jayhawks showed some toughness and a sense of urgency when Iowa State made runs in the second half. "When you're 24 and three," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "you shouldn't need to say the ship needs righting, but our players all knew that it did, and we felt it did, too." After dominating in the first half, the Jayhawks let the Cyclones back into the game early in the second. Iowa State cut a 13-point Kansas lead to six just after intermission. If the Jayhawks continued to let the Cyclones play like they did those first two minutes, the game could've easily turned in favor of Iowa State. It wouldn't have been pretty; so, Self got nasty. He called a time-out, pointed, screamed and never moved more than a few inches away from the players' faces. Robinson gave an account of Self's words, minus the screaming. KANSAS "The main thing was," Robinson said, "he wanted us to just focus in and get a good possession." Kansas delivered with a 16-4 run during the next five minutes. Chalmers and Arthur combined for 33 points, including 22 in the first half. Arthur especially shined in the first 20 minutes. After the game, Rush called the victory quality. "I don't know if we did or not," Self said about returning to a high level. "Only time will tell, but we were a better team than we were in the last three weeks." Jon Goering/KANSAN Junior guard Brandon Rush shows toughness in the Feb. 27 game against Iowa State.

LEGAL SERVICES SAYS Congratulations Kansas Basketball! *Thank You for Celebrating safely! LSS LEGAL SERVICES FOR STUDENTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 24 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS 88 74 KANSAS STATE MARCH 1,2008 January's bad memories trigger revenge BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com When practice ended on Feb. 29, the players walked off the floor thinking it was one of their best of the season. Then, coach 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. 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. "Everybody got mad," Robinson said. "We said to each other that we have to go out there with all the energy." And they did. Kansas defeated Kansas State 88-74 on March 1 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 brought enough energy. "They handled us at Bramlage," Self said. "Tonight, we were the aggressor and handled them." The Jayhawks 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. The initial burst of energy gave the Jayhawks a 21-point lead by the nine-minute mark. By halftime, Kansas had ten 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 seven turnovers. 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. Aside from intensity, Kansas was just pretty darn 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. 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. But in this game, 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 said that Collins' knee bruise should heal soon, and when it does, he'll be pain free. Rush's injury hadn't lingered like Collins' but he hadn't put together a great performance since his ACL tear in May. 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." The Jayhawks as a team might have done the same. They showed a relentless attitude to attack, which was evident from their 15 steals and 23 offensive rebounds. Self said they did everything else the same during the games they'd struggled. The plays hadn't changed; the mindset had. So, did this game mark the true turning point? Was it the sure sign that Kansas was 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 topic? "Guys just had more energy." Self said. "We played with a swagger tonight." There was still a long way to go, but if Kansas could maintain the passion it played with in this game, a promising future seemed likely. "I told them," Self said, "You'll play even harder on Monday." KANS 15 Jon Goering/KANSAN The Jayhawks pull out a victory against the Wildcats, 88-74, to avenge their loss against the Wildcats in January. "They handled us at Bramlage," coach Bill Self said.

Kansas would go on to defeat the Red Raiders 109-51, giving the seniors a nice sendoff. Big victory against Texas Tech tops off a memorable Senior Night Jon Goerina/KANSAN BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com One by one they moved on. 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. 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 Senior Night. 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 high school and immediately thought Case could be the second coming of Jeff Boschee. 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 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. 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. The day went by slowly for Case until the afternoon. That's when he started getting nervous for his final game. Case's butterflies showed early. He missed his first two three-point attempts and said he felt exhausted after playing the first few 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 threepointer 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." Self talked earlier in the 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 played in the next month, Case knew the end of his final season would be special. He was glad he'd 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." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 27 KANSAS 72 AM 55 TEXAS A&M MARCH 8,2008 Seniors clinch conference LMERS 5 KANSAS 4 BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com Junior guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Sherron Collins slap hands during their game against Texas A&M. The Jayhawks defeated the Aggies 72-55, improving their Big 12 record to 5-3 and winning the Big 12 Championship for the fourth consecutive year. Chalmers, Collins and Russell Robinson forced 15 turnovers and made 13 steals during the game. 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 Darnell Jackson, the senior forward held up four fingers. Jackson's four-fingered salute translated to mission accomplished. Self and his seniors called 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 made a to-do list before their March 8 game, they probably could have checked off nearly every item on the list. 1. Play through their big guys. Check. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur scored 16 points, which helped Kansas to 44 points in the paint. 2. Pressure Texas A&M's guards. Check. Senior guard Russell Robinson, junior guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Sherron Collins spent most of March 8 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 Chalmers, who tied Arthur for a team-high 16 points. 4. Have a healthy Collins. Check. Kansas' sophomore guard played 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 Robinson found Arthur for an alley-oop off the opening tip. Arthur stayed active against a lengthy Texas A&M front- court 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." 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 Aggie big guys. "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. 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. 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. "We're still first in the league in three point shooting." Self said. Yep, it was sure tough to nitpick the Jayhawk's performance on March 8. When it was over, the Jayhawks were presented with their Big 12 championship trophy in a locker room celebration; a ceremony that became quite standard for Kansas — especially its 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."

KANSAN FILE PHOTO Ugly play plagues both teams in Jayhawks' victory BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It was a fittingly ugly finish for an ugly game. Kansas beat Nebraska 64-54 on March 14 at the Sprint Center but the Jayhawks never seemed completely interested or energized even after making a run early in the second half. Kansas didn't look like a team that was peaking at just the right time in the opening round game. The Jayhawks played passionless in the first half. Kansas matched its lowest point total for a half this season, trailing 27-22 to the Huskers. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur picked up two fouls and four turnovers early. His performance reflected the rest of the team's. The Jayhawks turned the ball over 12 times, which led to 15 Nebraska points. Kansas needed a 16-4 run early in the second half to break away. Thing is, the players and Self didn't mind that the team played out of whack. Better now than later. In the grand scheme, this game hardly mattered. All the players said they wanted to win a third straight Big 12 Tournament, but they knew the more important tournament would start the next week. Self, as much as he preaches about the importance of conference play, agreed. He also pointed out that it's routine for top teams to struggle in the first round of conference tournaments. "I told our guys we needed this," he said. "You don't like it when your team doesn't perform, but how many teams in the NCAA Tournament play well when they haven't been behind?" Rush and Robinson maintained that they didn't overlook Nebraska, but something wasn't right against the Huskers. The Jayhawks didn't play with the intensity they showed during the last four games, and they would have to dial it back up, unless they wanted the season to end early. 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 29 KANSAS 77 71 TEXAS A&M MARCH 15,2008 Kansas advances in Big 12 Rush scores 28 points to help Jayhawks win, prepare for championship game against Texas 15 BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Late in the second half of the Big 12 Championship semifinal game, Mario Chalmers' mind started floating back to a June 2004 day in Colorado Springs. His USA Youth Developmental team was waiting for a game to end before it took the floor. While Chalmers sat there, he watched Brandon Rush put on a show, scoring 31 points. "He was hot like this," Chalmers said. "He was doing everything. Brandon was one of those players who could do anything." The Big 12 semifinal game results in a victory for the Jayhawks, who won 77-71 against Texas A&M. Junior guard Brandon Rush secured the victory with free throws at the end. "I wanted to take him out in the second half," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "but he was just on such a roll." He could do it all in this March 15 game, too. In KU's 77-71 victory against Texas A&M, Rush wasn't quite as hot as he was in 2004, at least that's what Chalmers thought, but the junior guard did come close. He scored a career-high 28 points on nine of 13 field goals, helping his team to a victory and a spot in Sunday's championship against Texas. "I was doing everything," Rush said. "I was slashing to the rim, getting to the free throw line, not just making threes like I usually do." Rush came out to this semifinal game wanting to do something special. The previous night's game certainly wasn't worth remembering. Against Nebraska, Rush couldn't make a shot and admitted playing terribly. This was Sprint Center. This was Kansas City, his home. Rush couldn't disappoint again. After halftime, it became apparent that he wouldn't leave Kansas fans, family or friends with an empty feeling. Rush made six of eight field goals and three of five three-pointers and didn't sit on the bench once. "I wanted to take him out in the second half," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "but he was just on such a roll." As good as Rush was, the Aggies wouldn't go away. They trailed by only two with 54 seconds left. Russell Robinson scored on a layup to give Kansas a 75-71 lead, but it was Rush who sealed the game with free throws at the end. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Games like these don't happen too often for Rush. The dominant Rush who Chalmers saw in 2004 has rarely made appearances in college. He'd only led the team in scoring four times this season before Saturday, and Self has pled with Rush to assert himself more often. But perhaps surprisingly, Rush is finding out that less might be more. He attempted only 13 shots on Saturday, far fewer than he's taken on less successful days. "When he lets the game come to him," Chalmers said, "he's automatic." If that's the key, Rush was finding out how to play his best just in time. Kansas was one game away from NCAA Tournament play, and these games were likely Rush's last opportunity to impress NBA scouts. His draft stock plummeted earlier this season as his production lagged, partially because of his injured knee, and most projections had Rush in the second round. A good March run could have pushed him back into the first. "If we were watching an NBA guard out there today," Self said, "and if he keeps playing like this or close to it, then I can't imagine that this would be very impressive for a lot of people down the road." In Sunday's championship game, Rush will have to focus on helping his team notch a third straight Big 12 Championship. It's going to be a test. The Longhorns dominated Kansas on the glass in a 72-69 victory in February. Self even used the s-word (soft) after the loss. That was the team's only meeting this season but Texas and Kansas have played each other in the tournament championship the past two years. The Jayhawks won both of them. Texas will want revenge for that reason. Kansas will want it because of the February game. And a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament could have been on the line. "Our guys understand it will be one of the more fun games of their career," Self said. "They'll be playing for a championship, it will be a great crowd, partisan Kansas, and the stakes will be high."

Name/KANSAN BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This was out of character for Mario Chalmers. Oh, not the scoring. That's perfectly normal. He may have notched a career-high 30 points, but he always brings his best in big games. The attitude was new. Chalmers, who usually shouts here and slaps a few hands there, upped his emotions to a new level late in the second half. With KU clinging to a one-point lead, Chalmers stroked his eighth three-pointer. 75-71. He kicked up his leg and flashed a deep smile, the type of smile you usually see in wedding photos and dentist offices. Yep, Chalmers was beaming, and really, who could blame him? Behind his career high, Kansas (31-3) beat Texas 84-74 for its third straight Big 12 Tournament Championship in a game that featured seven double-digit scorers and 27 made three-pointers. "There were some hard rocking guys out there," Self said. "That was some high level stuff." And Chalmers played the best, making eight of his 12 three-pointers, including that big one late in the game. He called it the greatest game of his college career and couldn't remember a time he pieced together as good of a performance. The game on March 16 certainly didn't resemble the game on the 15th for Chalmers. He scored four points against Texas A&M that game and suffered a minor knee strain. Chalmers iced the knee the night before the Championship game and felt almost no pain in the morning. Teammates knew Chalmers would be fine by game time. Chalmers never holds back when the games mean a little extra. Russell Robinson said he liked taking important shots in games that count and so did Sherron Collins, but that Chalmers lived for the big moments more than anyone. "He doesn't necessary want the spotlight, all the attention, all the publicity," Robinson said, "but at the same time, he wants the ball." Chalmers dashed Texas' hopes in the Big 12 Tournament last season, making a threepointer to tie it at the end of regulation. He tried doing it in Austin a month ago but missed an off-balance shot. Chalmers didn't miss many at the Big 12 Championship. Then again, nobody did. At one point in the first half, the teams scored on 11 straight possessions. Texas made eight of 11 three-pointers, shot 58 percent and led 46-45 at half. Kansas made nine of its 15 long balls and also shot 58 percent. All the scoring reminded Bill Self of KU's championship game in 1988, and he let the players know. "There ain't been ball like this since '88," Self told them, "back when Danny played." And just like 20 years ago, the Jayhawks closed out the game. Chalmers hit the most shots, but other players stepped up. Brandon Rush made two big three-pointers. Darrell Arthur broke a tie with a ferocious dunk. Rebounding, a major reason in KU's February loss to Texas, became an advantage as the Jayhawks won the glass battle 42-29. Kansas also slowed down the Longhorns' offense in the second half. D.J. Augustin, who poured in 18 points in the first half, couldn't get past Robinson, who slowed him down by timing his quick shot release. Augustin mustered a measly two in the second, and those were on free throws. The victory not only meant another Big 12 Tournament title but also vengeance for KU's earlier loss to Texas. With the victory, the Jayhawks have now defeated two of the three teams (Kansas State is the other) that beat them earlier this season. "We have the ball rolling in the right direction," Robinson said. "A loss today would've set us back a step. We have the ball rolling, and we just have to keep it going in the tournament." Yes, Kansas is ready to for the NCAA Tournament. A No.1 seed for the second straight year, the Jayhawks have plans to make it further than the Elite Eight. They're focused already. That was evident on the floor of Sprint Center after the Championship game. The nets were clipped. Rainbow confetti strands dotted the court. KU fans who stayed to watch howled and whistled for their team. It should've been a celebratory moment, but it wasn't. The players were thinking about something else. They huddled near the free throw line, put their fists together in the air, shouted "national champs" and walked off the court. "We started off saying Big 12 regular season championship and we won that," Chalmers said, "said Big 12 tourney champs and we won that. Now, we move onto the national championship, and we're going to win that." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 32 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS 85 61 PORTLAND STATE MARCH 20, 2008 Victorious against Vikings NCAA NCAA Jon Goering/KANSAN Senior forward Darnell Jackson and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur joke around on the bench during the second half of Kansas' opening round game against Portland State. The Hawks started off strong in the first half with a 16-5 lead and never allowed the Vikings to make a comeback.The Jayhawks easily defeated the 16th-seeded Vikings at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb. BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com OMAHA, Neb. The knock on the door at 7 a.m.came a little too early for Brandon Rush. A near-dawn wake-up call was needed for all the players so they would be ready for the 11:25 a.m. tip on March 20. Rush, who usually doesn't see the light of day until around 11 a.m., noon or even 1 p.m., stayed under the covers of his Embassy Suites bed for 15 minutes longer before finally getting up. "It was real hard," he said. He couldn't say that about Kansas' 85-61 victory against Portland State. Not Rush nor any of his KU teammates snoozed in the early part of their opening round game of the NCAA Tournament on March 20 at the Qwest Center. They took a 16-5 lead and never saw the margin dwindle. Coach Bill Self wanted the quick start. He just wasn't expecting it. The game was early, about one hour and 30 minutes before any other KU game started this season. Plus, he thought it was a little chilly inside the Qwest Center. "Early and cold," Self said, "usually lends itself to not great energy." Despite low temperature and early tip, it took about five minutes for the Jayhawks to shatter any hopes the Vikings may have had of springing a once-in-a-lifetime upset, and junior guards Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush had a lot to do with it. Rush scored on the opening possession then assisted senior forward Darnell Jackson's alley-oop. Chalmers turned in the hustle play of the day when he blocked a shot, got the rebound from it, saved the ball from going out of bounds and then started a fast break that ended with sophomore forward Darrell Arthur's dunk. This came two possessions after he made a three-pointer. Chalmers scored 10 points in the first half. Brandon Rush added 15, and Arthur scored nine. "It's so important to get off to the fast start and not let the other team think they can play with you or beat you," Self said. "They never challenged us in large part because we were up 10 early in the first half." Although the players admitted they lost some intensity in the second half, Portland State never mounted a comeback. The Vikings couldn't handle the Jayhawks offense. Chalmers, Rush and sophomore guard Sherron Collins picked up where they left off in the Big 12 Tournament, combining to make 10 three-pointers. Collins had three of them, despite being bothered by a knee injury. Self said he wasn't 100 percent after bumping it in practice earlier this week. The team made 12 three-pointers for the game, including eight in the first half. Portland State constantly double-teamed Arthur and Jackson in the post, leaving perimeter shooters open. Self said that was why his team attempted so many threes, not because they were in love with the long ball. If he's right, it's probably a good thing. The guards made the looks on March 20 and in the Big 12 Tournament the previous week, but they hadn't connected from the outside all season. In February, the Jayhawks went through a two-game stretch where they made just four of 26 three-pointers. Another slump was a possibility.

Rush scored 12 points, grabbed six boards and dished three assists before fouling out of the game. Adams led the Rebels with 25 points, which included 15 points from the free-throw line. Jon Goering/KANSAN 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 we'd play big," Kansas coach Bill Self said. It just didn't happen. The Jayhawks beat the University of Nevada Las Vegas 75-56 on March 22 at the Qwest Center, pulling away when they started using a smaller, four-guard lineup in the second half. The victory moved Kansas into the Sweet 16, where it played Villanova on March 28 in Detroit. 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. "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," Kansas' 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. "Five-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 we'd 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." 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. "Midway through the second half," Self said about Collins and Robinson, "it was those two's game." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 34 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS 72 V 57 VILLANOVA MARCH 28, 2008 Kansas defeats Villanova to advance Jayhawks restrain opposition's star point guard with Robinson key to Elite Eight 0 KAN 1 Junior guard Mario Chalmers pokes the ball away from Villanova star guard Scottie Reynolds during Kansas' Sweet Sixteen game at Ford Field in Detroit. Kansas held Reynolds to just 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting. He also turned the ball over four times and recorded no assists. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com DETROIT - A KU fan clad in a denim shirt and orange hat left his courtside seat with about five minutes remaining in the Sweet Sixteen game. He had seen enough of the blowout. But before he walked up to the exit, he stopped to say a few words to Brennan Bechard, Chase Buford, Brad Witherspoon and three team managers who were sitting a few rows behind the KU bench. "Have fun at the Riverwalk," he said. Not so fast, sir. The man was referring to a tourist attraction in San Antonio, the spot of the Final Four. Kansas wasn't there yet, but the Jayhawks were one game away after beating 12-seed Villanova 72-57 on March 28 at Ford Field. They faced Davidson in the Elite Eight on March 30. "We ready for it," Darrell Arthur said. "This is where we want to be." Maybe the man had a reason to be excited. At that point Kansas had blistered three straight overmatched opponents in the NCAA Tournament. A team that fans had been calling Final Four or bust since October got the opportunity against Davidson to make the season a special one. Kansas was in the Elite Eight for the second season in a row and for the third time in coach Bill Self's five-year tenure. And as anyone who follows college basketball knew, Self had yet taken a team into the Final Four. "We've been to this game many times," Self said. "We feel this is our time, our turn." To get to the Elite Eight, the Jayhawks needed Russell Robinson. Tenth-seeded Davidson bounced the favored Wisconsin Badgers 30 minutes before Kansas took the floor to earn its spot in the regional final. Robinson didn't want to see his career end with a similar upset, and he made sure it wouldn't. Inspired by playing against an East coast school and several New Yorkers, he scored on two defended three-pointers and directed an alley-oop to Rush off the backboard early in the game. By the 11:42 mark, Robinson had 13 points, and the Jayhawks led 24-10. "Russell was the key to the game for us," Self said. He also rendered Scottie Reynolds ineffective. Reynolds, Villanova's star point guard, didn't score until the midway point of the first half, long after Kansas built a double-digit lead. A play by Darrell Arthur symbolized the Jayhawks' dominance over the supposed-to-be-spectacular Reynolds. On an inbounds play, Arthur caught an alley-oop and dunked on Reynolds, causing him to fall to the ground. Oh, Arthur did that to him in the second half, too. Reynolds got back up both times. He probably should have just stayed on the ground. Not he or anyone on Villanova could touch Kansas, although the Jayhawks frustrated Self with their at times lax effort in the second half. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 35 KANSAS 59 57 DAVIDSON MARCH 30,2008 Jayhawks defy dropout spell Hard defense against Davidson allows Kansas to revel in tight slide to Final Four spot 2 COLMET 4 A last-second shot attempt leaves the hands of Davidson guard Jason Richards and floats toward the basket as the clock runs out in the Elite Eight game. Davidson trailed by two, 57-59, when the three-pointer went up. The ball missed wide left, ending Davidson's tournament run. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com DETROIT — One little piece of net wasn't enough. 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 Kansas' 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. Finally, the other net came down. 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 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. "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." Funny how the postgame atmosphere could have been so different. Davidson gave the Jayhawks everything they expected after they watched the tape of the Wildcats rolling past higher seeds Georgetown and Wisconsin. With 16 seconds left 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. "When he got rid of it," Self said, "I was happy." 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. It was good for Kansas that its defense shut down Davidson. Otherwise, the game could've been significantly different. Outside of Sasha Kaun, who played the role of unlikely hero with 13 points on six of six shooting, the Jayhawks never got into an offensive flow because of Davidson's double teams, pressure and an inability to force turnovers. Jackson said they were trying too hard. "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 provided few challenges, and the Jayhawks rolled. "To win it all, don't you have to win one like this?" Self said. "Everybody has to go through this." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 36 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 84 KANSAS 84 66 NORTH CAROLINA APRIL 5, 2008 Jayhawks wipe out all doubts ANSA Rock Chalk Dancers Kailee Bowers and Kelly Cure celebrate after Kansas' 84-66 victory against North Carolina April 5 at the Alamodore in San Antonio. From this victory, Kansas advanced to the national title game to face the Memphis Tigers on April 7. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — For five days the players watched and read all about North Carolina's advantages. How the Tar Heels could run better than anyone else. How Tyler Hansbrough played harder than any player in history. Could Kansas handle all that? "From what I'd seen on ESPN," senior guard Russell Robinson said, "I guess not. They said Tyler would do this, and they would do that." As it turned out, Carolina didn't do much of anything. Kansas beat the Tar Heels 84-66 at their own game on April 5 at the Alamodome, running past them at the beginning and end, and upsetting the tournament's No.1 seed. "We were the underdog the whole game," junior guard Brandon Rush said. "We just came out and applied pressure to them. We got up and did some big things." Kansas showed the nation that North Carolina might not have been the best running team and certainly not the best team in the tournament within the first few minutes. Rush made three-pointers. Freshman center Cole Aldrich stole a rebound from Hansbrough then later hit a fade away over the Tar Heels' star. Nothing could go wrong for the Jayhawks. North Carolina didn't have it so easy. Shots missed everything but the backboard on more than one occasion. Loose balls went into the hands of Jayhawks. One player even got called for a lane violation. When the players looked at the scoreboard with 6:45 left in the first half, they were on top 40-12. Kansas had made a 25-2 run. "We definitely played the best basketball we've played in the first half in that first 15 minutes."Rush said. That's how a team without expectations can play. The Jayhawks entered the game against the Tar Heels without a care in the world. Yeah, they wanted to win, but this wasn't like last weekend. Back then, they dealt with playing against Davidson, America's sweetheart, and Stephen Curry, the face likely to be seen the most times on "One Shining Moment." They watched the three other No.1 seeds advance to the Final Four and knew they needed to make it to complete a historical run. And then there was this thing about Self not making it to the Final Four in his first four previous trips to the Elite Eight. "People have termed our postseasons as failures," Self said. "They just felt like something was off their back, and they just played free and easy." They got their lead a little too early, though. "It seemed like the clock was taking forever to tick," Robinson said. Carolina made its run and trailed by 17 at halftime and by just four midway through the second half. Self thought back to his first NCAA Tournament game at Tulsa. His team was up 26 on the College of Charleston, which ended up hitting a three-pointer to take the lead with one minute left. "I still remember watching the tape later," Self said, "and Al McGuire said it would have been the biggest comeback in NCAA tournament history." Tulsa won that game. Self made sure his team wouldn't lose this one. With the Tar Heels down 64-59 near the six-minute mark, Self called a timeout and told his players to just relax. Collins hit a three-pointer on the next possession. Rush took over the rest of the way, scoring eight of his 25 points in the last few minutes. With Rush leading the way, Kansas closed on a 20-7 run, sealing a spot in the title game. The Jayhawks have been eyeing this night since October. Now they get their opportunity to make Kansas history. "It's an unbelievable feeling," Aldrich said. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 37 Aldrich's performance shines against UNC BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — Once upon a time, Cole Aldrich was an afterthought, the fourth big man off the bench, just another big body at Kansas coach Bill Self's disposal. On April 5 against North Carolina, Aldrich etched his name onto the list of greatest relief performances in Kansas basketball history. Kansas' freshman center scored eight points and grabbed seven rebounds off the bench in Kansas' 84-66 victory against North Carolina, including one board that Aldrich snatched from the clutches of North Carolina All-American Tyler Hansbrough. "I wasn't gonna let go," Aldrich said. Aldrich's supporting performance may go down in Kansas lore if the Jayhawks follow up their victory with a national title on April 7 against Memphis. And oddly enough, Self saw it coming. Earlier this week Self corrected a reporter who had asked how important Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun and Darrell Arthur would be in Kansas' attempt to contain Hansbrough. Don't forget about Cole, Self reminded. Self's prophecy came true. "He may have won the game for us tonight as much as anybody," Self said. With seniors Kaun and Jackson both committing two early fouls, Self faced a coaching calamity. Send Aldrich, who averaged 8.1 minutes per game during the regular season, onto the floor to guard Hansbrough, the Tar Heels' leading scorer and the AP National Player of the Year. No sweat. Aldrich responded with 13 first-half minutes played, six points during Kansas' fun-n-gun first half, and one rebound that Aldrich couldn't help but smile about. With 10 minutes left in the first half and Kansas leading 31-10, Aldrich sprang from the floor and ripped the ball away from a bewildered Hansbrough. "Tyler usually outworks someone, but tonight, he got outworked," Rush said. Aldrich, along with help from Kaun, Jackson and Arthur, held Hansbrough to 17 points and nine rebounds, a shade below his usual averages of 23.7 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. "I don't think he was quite used to going against four guys that can hold their own," Aldrich said. "We just tried to come out and put pressure on him." The Kansas frontcourt also controlled the glass,shouldering a 42-33 rebound advantage against their frontcourt comrades from North Carolina. "We knew we had to keep them off the glass to win the game," Aldrich said. Aldrich's 6-foot-10 frame stood tall in Kansas' victorious locker room, searching for words to describe his nation-wide coming out party. "It was a blast," Aldrich said. "This game meant a lot to a lot of people." Kansas junior walk-on Matt Kleinmann, sitting 35 feet to Aldrich's left, had his own take on Aldrich's bench performance du jour. "He played like a man tonight," Kleinmann said. KANS BROUGH 50 KANSAS 45 Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Freshman center Cole Aldrich jumps up to block a shot from North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 38 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS 75 68 MEMPHIS 75 68 APRIL 7,2008 Kansas writes history in OT thriller KANSAS Freshman center Cole Aldrich hugs senior center Sasha Kaun as the Jayhawks celebrate their championship victory against Memphis on April 7. Kaun contributed four points and two rebounds in 21 minutes of play. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY MARK DENT.mdent@kansan.com SAN ANTONIO — Mario Chalmers could dance now, now that his name had been permanently etched into the Kansas basketball history books. He moved his hips to "Celebration" and slapped hands all around with his teammates in the confetti-filled jubilation of their national championship. That's right national championship Kansas (37-3) beat Memphis (38-2) 75-68 in overtime on April 7 at the Alamodome, winning its first title since 1988 and third in program history after coming back from a late nine-point deficit. "God, we competed hard," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win the way these guys did." Chalmers' celebratory dance moves seemed so natural, just like the shot he made about 30 minutes earlier that sent the game to overtime. The play started with Sherron Collins. He had 10 seconds to make sure Kansas extended the game and kept its dream season alive. He dribbled to the right wing behind the three-point line and nearly lost the ball. Then, Chalmers separated from his man for just long enough. Collins found him Trailing 63-60. Chalmers shot a three near the top of the key. Overtime. The game should've been finished long before that play. The Jayhawks got a gift from the Tigers when Memphis missed five of six free throws that would've iced the game. They didn't waste the good fortune in overtime. The extra period was all Kansas. Brandon Rush started out with a layup. Chalmers and Darrell Arthur combined for an alley-oop. When Collins made two free throws to put Kansas up 75-68, the game was finished. Chalmers' shot had sparked all of it. "I just knew we had the game after that," Arthur said. A happy ending seemed implausible late in the second half. Memphis' Derrick Rose nearly killed Kansas. He was ready to put himself at the top of the list of Jayhawk Final Four villains, right up there with Carmelo Anthony, Juan Dixon and Grant Hill. With Memphis down 45-42 midway in the second half, Rose scored 12 straight points for Memphis. He couldn't miss if he tried. Really. Rose fired a long off-balance jumper at the end of the shot clock and banked it in. The basket gave Memphis a 56-49 lead with 4:10 left. The Tigers stretched that lead to 60-51, and it looked like Memphis would cut down the nets. "A lot of guys thought the game was over." Darnell Jackson said, "but we just kept saying 'believe.'" Arthur took the inspirational words to heart as well. It was no surprise to see Chalmers take over in the clutch. Arthur was more of an unexpected hero. Self said those exact words to his team. Chalmers used Self's message and the memories from last season's comeback victories against Texas to motivate him. Kansas had known all season that it played superior ball when Arthur was active. Problem was, that didn't happen too often. In the tournament, Arthur's inconsistency got even worse. The one they called Shady reverted to his mind-bogglingly inconsistent ways throughout the postseason, disappearing in every game. Monday night he was a changed man. Arthur scored two big baskets toward the end of regulation and got another one in overtime. He finished with 20 points. Arthur had played his best game in the biggest game of his life. It's something he'll never forget, something all the Jayhawks will never forget. They battled through adversity after two losses in three games in late February and didn't lose the rest of the way. Now, they're champions. They'll go down as one of the best teams in Kansas history. It's something Russell Robinson had hoped for since the season started. After all the dancing, high-fiving and screaming stopped, Robinson sat in the back of a golf cart with his head in his arms and a net around his neck, thinking about the accomplishment. "You couldn't really have written it any better," Robinson said. "No way you could've written it better." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 39 Chalmers 'clutch' shot seals Kansas' fate BY RUSTIN DODD doddkansan.com SAN ANTONIO — Call this one Mario and the miracle. Ask someone twenty years from now where they were when Mario Chalmers hit "the shot," and they'll probably tell you the Alamodome. It seemed as if all of Kansas was in the massive arena on the outskirts of downtown San Antonio. Nope, it was only 43,257 fans. But junior guard Mario Chalmers, the tournament's most outstanding player, made them roar like never before. "It was probably the biggest shot ever made in the history of Kansas basketball," coach Bill Self said. The game, the season, the dream. It all looked lost, snatched away by the beautiful play of Memphis' duo of junior Chris Douglas-Roberts and freshman Derrick Rose. But then Memphis started missing free throws and Kansas furiously rallied. And down three, with 10 seconds remaining, Sherron Collins skirted across half-court and found a looping Mario Chalmers. "Sherron kind of fumbled the ball," Chalmers said. The three-pointer went down. Kansas 63, Memphis 63. Life continued. "We got the ball to our most clutch player and he delivered," Self said. Funny thing is, Bill Self saw this coming. Kansas was known as a team of balance, defined by players who only cared about winning. A group of high school stars, brought together and molded into champions by Kansas coach Bill Self. But Self knew. He kept it close to his breast, but he knew. Mario Chalmers was Kansas' go-to-guy. Self even said so last year. "He has no memory," Self said. "The next thing that happens is the only thing he's worried about." The shot will be replayed for years. Mario Chalmers, who came to Kansas from Anchorage, Ala., finding the net and sending the game into overtime. Of course, there was still an overtime to be played. Energized by a second chance, Kansas quickly took control. And once again Chalmers came through, making two free throws with 45 seconds remaining. When it was all over, Chalmers highstepped around the Alamodome with Brady Morningstar fast in pursuit. Morningstar finally caught Chalmers, wrapped his arms around Kansas' junior guard and tried to jump on his back. Chalmers slipped away. He probably was tired of carrying people. It was a team effort in the first half, as Kansas built a 33-28 lead. But in the second half and overtime, Chalmers made his presence known, delivering 11 points and two assists after the break. Kansas' junior guard finished with 18 points, three assists, three steals and the most clutch shot in Kansas history. Chalmers seemed unfazed by history. "I just know that it was a big shot," he said. "My teammates had confidence in me." The confetti poured and the championship T-shirts came out. A historic comeback was complete. As the buzzer sounded, Chalmers made his way to the crowd. Finally he found his way to his mother and hung on for dear life. Moments later, Chalmers hugged his father, Ronnie. Father and son were wrapped into each others' arms, and the Jayhawks were champions once again. "There was something different tonight," Self said.

"I don't even have the words to explain how I feel," he said through tear-filled eyes, minutes after the game ended. "I want this feeling to last forever."

The Jayhawks became national champions in overtime against the Tigers on April 7. MASS STREET (CONTINUED FROM 45) "I'm so happy to be in college right now to experience this;" she said. Kristi Wiesner, a student from the University of Missouri-Kansas City who was at Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., even tipped her hat to the Jayhawks during the game. "I want to root for them tonight because I love the Big 12," she said. The only quiet point throughout the night at Quinton's was during Bill Self's pregame speech, which ended with an eruption of cheers as the Jayhawks ran onto the court. Kevin Kunde, Chicago senior, praised former Kansas coach Roy Williams for standing behind the KU bench, sporting a Jayhawk sticker on his shirt. "I don't even have the words to explain how I feel. I want this feeling to last forever." "Roy Williams is an absolute class act," he said. "We beat him two days ago, and the JOE HALL Independence senior Blue T-shirts littered Massachusetts Street all day long as Jayhawk fans from all over the country flocked to downtown fact that he sat behind our bench during the national championship makes him a true legend." Lawrence. KU alumnus Kevin Peterson said he and his friend drove eight hours from Chicago to watch the Final Four game on April 5. Peterson said. "We asked off for Monday and Tuesday in advance in case we beat North Carolina and we did, so here we are," KU alumnus Tyler Brook even styled his hair into a red and blue Mohawk Monday morning before coming to Lawrence to watch the game at Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St. Some fans arrived at their favorite bars extra early with hopes of finding the best seat in the house. Darcy Stefanik, Chicago junior, and three of her friends had been saving the first spot in line at Quinton's since 7 a.m. before it opened its doors at 4 p.m. "We wanted an awesome table at a bar on Massachusetts Street because the game against North Carolina was absolutely phenomenal," Stefanik said. As the day progressed, a steady stream of fans trickled into bars along Massachusetts Street until they filled to capacity. John Bergwell, a bartender at Harbor Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St., said this year's NCAA Tournament brought in an extraordinary amount of business to a lot of downtown bars. "It's been record-selling for us, and a lot of other places have said the same thing." well as someone's brother who doesn't normally work here." "It's been record-selling for us, and a lot of other places have said the same thing," he said. "Our entire staff is working tonight as Andy Kroeker, owner of Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St., said he had to go into work early to do an emergency inventory before his bar opened. JOHN BERGWELL Bartender "We sold out of everything on Saturday as well as last Sunday," he said. Joe Aussem, a bouncer at Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., said the bar had been selling 32-ounce beers in droves. After the game, Matt Riehemann, KU alumnus, said he never planned on going to bed again. "I am the happiest person in the world right now," he shouted after the game. "I am not going to work tomorrow and this celebration does not end until I say it does." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 47 Residents join college fans in celebration BY ANDREW WIEBE AND BRENNA HAWLEY awiebe@kansan.com and bhawley@kansan.com In 1988, Claudia Olea joined the masses of students celebrating KU basketball's national championship victory on Massachusetts Street. Twenty years later, the 1991 graduate made the short walk from her home on Tennessee Street to celebrate with thousands of jubilant students. GRANADA WAKA TIX HERE WATCH PARTY PROJECTION SCREEN OPEN 10 AM 21 OVER 15 With her children outfitted in Jayhawk gear in the background, Olea said she was confident that revelers wouldn't damage property or go overboard, just like fans didn't in 1988. "You just have a different perspective," Olea said. "It just was a joyful mood both times, people celebrating. It felt like the same kind of spirit of celebration, having fun and enjoying it." Christy Edwards was a Lawrence resident 20 years ago and now lives on Massachusetts Street. She said the main difference was the number of people making the trek downtown after the games. She said that Lawrence had grown since the last championship and that the number of revelers had increased, too.

This man climbed nearly to the top of the pole, but was discouraged when people began shooting fireworks and throwing ice cubes at him. RESIDENTS (CONTINUED FROM 47) Edwards said although there would always be people behaving badly, most people she saw were following the rules which extra police officers enforced. "I guess I kind of trust the system," Edwards said. "If people are going to be weird, they're going to be weird." Some residents, such as James Lemieux, said they weren't concerned about excessive damage to their property. Lemieux, who lives on Vermont Street, says he was used to living on a route students use to get home from downtown. "There's a general level of people peeing on our lawn anyway," Lemieux said. "We just get used to that, and the beer cans on our lawn." Lemieux said he and his wife are still feeling the effects of joining students downtown after the game on April 5. He said one factor that might keep celebrations from getting out of hand was the probability of rain. Olea said she thought everyone would keep a good spirit and that fans had a lot to be proud of no matter what the outcome. "When we win, people just celebrate and have fun with it," Olea said. "Mostly when we don't win, people go home and mope a little bit."

The moment the Jayhawks defeated the Tarheels 84-66, KU fans ran out of local bars onto Massachusetts street in a massive crowd to celebrate with one another.The aftermath included anything from beer cans to bolts from a pickup truck bed.A handful of Lawrence Parks and Recreation employees helped clean up the many loads of trash on Sunday morning after the game. Final Four victory leaves trashy aftermath BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com It was the morning after. The smell of beer wafted, and a loud roar echoed up and down Massachusetts Street after the Jayhawks beat the Tarheels 84-66 on April 5 at the Final Four game. But the smell came from beer that was spilled all over the street and the loud roar came from a street sweeper. The huge parade of students and fans left a lot behind. Crystal Miles, the horticulture manager for Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said there was a lot of stuff to pick up. Twelve Parks and Recreation employees and two Street Department employees cleaned up Mass. Street in three shifts: before the event began, during the celebration and Sunday morning. The hardest shift came at 6 a.m. on April 6. The crew used leaf blowers and trash grabbers to clean up the mess. Miles was surprised at the amount of trash. "It's enormous. I can't even describe it," Miles said. Miles said the trash was mainly plastic cups, beer cans and beer bottles. She estimated it would take two or three street sweeper loads and a few loads of the trash truck to clean up all the garbage. Each street sweeper holds about three to four cubic yards. Miles said only flower beds were completely destroyed Saturday night. Tulips and daffodils that were planted for spring were trampled. The strangest thing the crew found were bolts from a pickup truck bed. Miles said the crew guessed the bed was overloaded and may have been damaged.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 50 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL New York state of mind Guard Russell Robinson longs to return home early, sometimes just a It sounded through with the al ork mind KANSAS Russell Robinson walked down the hallway at Allen Fieldhouse before practice in February, 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. "Those cans are so big and only cost a dollar," Robinson said. "When you're in the park and you're thirsty, it doesn't cost a lot and gives you a lot of juice." The drink? Arizona Iced Tea, a staple for New York City basketball players. Robinson spent most of his childhood living in Harlem and the Bronx, where he fell in love with the hectic pace of city life, where his parents sheltered him from the sometimes-violent streets and where he learned to play basketball with an unquestioned toughness. That's Russell Robinson. No matter how Kansas he is,he'll always have a part of New York City with him. 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 who led his team to an NCAA championship 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. LIFE IN THE CITY The rap and Latin music started playing often rang at night. Drug dealers and win sometimes gathered on nearby sidewalks. Theresa and Russell Sr. kept Robinson away from the madness back then by keep- him busy. Monday through Friday at school, followed by time with a by sitter or at the YMCA while Theresa and Russell Sr. worked. Weekends included basketball, art classes, church and other family activities. to Robinson's room in his mom's Bronx apartment. Outside that window, he could see the zooming cars, delis, bodegas, a McDonalds, other high-rise apartments and of course, people - tons of people, on top of each other. "As crowded 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." "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. 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. 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. He loved 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 History. Sometimes, Robinson even visited the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State building or other tourist attractions. dealers and win erby sidewalks. cept Robinson en by keep- h Friday with a eresa ded "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 Sr.'s middle-class Bronx neighborhoods, but surrounding areas weren't as safe. Russell Sr. can't remember his son ever getting into trouble, but trouble never lingered too far away. "An undercover cop," Robinson said. "It was like straight out of a movie." Shortly after Robinson returned to New York as a seventh grader, he heard about the drug-related arrest of a ninth-grade friend. 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 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. C "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." BASKETBALL WAS EVERYTHING The leather ball would bounce against the floor for hours in the Robinson household. Thud. Thud. Thud. 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. As Robinson got older, he went to the playgrounds more often, playing "all day, THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 51 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL KANSAS Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN Senior guard Russell Robinson defends Iowa State guard Bryan Peterson at Allen Fieldhouse Jan. 23. About two and-a-half months later, April 13, Robinson held the NCAA championship trophy in the team's victory parade. 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. "The other kids would want to fight him in the tournaments on the street," Theresa said. "You had to be tough." 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. You have to find a way to stand out, and mine was being tougher than everybody else." "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. An elbow popped into Robinson's mouth in an AAU game at the New Jersey Boy's Club. Blood squirted from his gums and streamed onto the court in red splotches. But pain never bothered Robinson. Russell Sr. found that out one summer day. RUSSELL ROBINSON Senior guard 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. More than five years later, Russell Sr. still calls it a "wow" moment. "He played drinking his own blood," Russell Sr. said. 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. 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.

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. had dropped, If something reminded Robinson of his hometown, he wanted it. KANSAS 3 "I was basically trying to bring New York here," Robinson said. "Because he was homesick, he kind of kept to himself and talked on the phone a lot." 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. His teammates seemed like they were from another planet, too. They went out on weekends, something Robinson rarely did back home. Where he grew up, basketball dominated nearly every part of life. 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. "I remember feeling left out," Robinson said. "I was used to having everything at my fingertips when I wanted it. 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. 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. "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." 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. After the season, rumors swirled that Robinson might transfer. His minutes JEREMY CASE Senior guard "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." Senior guard Russell Robinson came to Kansas from his home state of New York. Robinson had to work to overcome his feelings of homesickness to play his best and become an NCAA champion. That summer KANSAN FILE PHOTO 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. 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 lead the team to four straight Big 12 regular season championships and three straight postseason titles. People tell Robinson all the time that he "He had a chance to pout and quit," Self said, "but he got tougher and harder. He'll go down as one of my favorites to coach because I think Russell views his play on one thing: wins and losses. ... We can all say that, but are we willing to sacrifice to give us the best chance? I think Russell really is one of those guys." The skinny boy from the Bronx who missed home and couldn't get off the bench is now one month away from graduating with a degree in communications. During the team's NCAA championship victory parade in early April, he was the player who rode in the last car and held up the championship trophy for the tens of thousands of fans lining the streets of Lawrence to see. 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 should be a coach. His dad. KU coaches. Friends. Rice High School coach Maurice Hicks. They all think he'd 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." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 53 Self waits for redemption 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. "I hate to say it," graduate assistant Michael Lee said about making the Final Four, "but it is a big deal for him." "We've won the league. We've won the league tournament. We're in the Sweet 16.

That season, his senior year, he became the Western Athletic Conference's all-time leader in steals. "He was a cowboy," then-Tulsa assistant coach John Phillips said. "He took pride in the defensive end - similar to Brandon Rush, minus the shot." In the tournament, Coley helped 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. RNE 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. Guard Joseph 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." One year later, Self got another attempt at the Final Four. This time, he was coaching Illinois. MARCH 25, 2001 Self, whod 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. Forward 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. There, it met Arizona, a team on a mission. Arizona won 87-81. 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 was just two great teams," Harrington said, "and Arizona was just a little better." MARCH 28, 2004 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. Jon Goering/KANSAN Kansas coach Bill Self cuts the last strand off the net in celebration of Kansas' victory over Davidson March 30 at Ford Field in Detroit. Self and the Jayhawks then went to the Final Four in San Antonio, Texas, where they faced North Carolina. The trip to the Final Four is the first for Self as the Hawks' coach. Kansas didn't count on 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 lamented 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 the Jayhawks. While they missed, UCLA turned up its offense. The Bruins made 58 percent of its shots in the second half, including 75 percent from long distance. Its defense proved better than Kansas', which had been regarded as one of the best in the country. "It hurts," Self told The University Daily Kansan after the game. "I really felt like this was our year." MARCH 30,2008 Would 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? 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. 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. "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." They were the ones who helped build Self's team at Kansas, along with sophomore forward Darrell Arthur and sophomore guard Sherron Collins. They want a Final Four and national title for themselves and for their coach. "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 guard Russell Robinson, center Sasha Kaun and forward Darnell Jackson are all gone after this season. Junior guard Brandon Rush is a lock to enter the NBA Draft, and Arthur will probably join him. Heck, Collins and Junior guard Mario Chalmers might even leave. Kansas was two games away from a Final Four berth, and the Jayhawks were favored in both. Everyone expected them to beat Villanova and Wisconsin or Davidson at the next game. 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, Tulsa's former assistant coach, thinks this could be the year for his former boss. 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." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 56 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL Rush proves critics wrong BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Brandon Rush smiled as he sat down next to Bill Self on the bench during the scrimmage at "Late Night in the Phog." Ten of his teammates circled around mid-court as the ball went up, signifying the first practice of the season. All Rush could do was watch. He chatted with his coach for a while, and his smile turned into a laugh. He did some coaching of his own. "I just subbed a few people in and out and told Rio to keep shooting." Rush said afterwards. Self left Rush's side to sit on the opposite bench. The smile was still on Rush's face, but it wasn't a content smile. Look at the scar on his knee, and you'll find out why. The scar is from his ACL injury and surgery. It made him pull out of the NBA Draft, and it made him sit on the bench. But Rush, a junior guard, told curious media nearly every day he would be fine. He's dealt with other scars before. Not physical ones; scars on his reputation. The scar of living up to the expectations set by two older brothers. He healed that one fine. The scar of an unwarranted reputation for being lazy, being a team cancer. That one's gone, too. KANSAS 25 Now he has to heal this final physical scar. Rush had a season to silence the doubters by fixing the flaws in his game, becoming the go-to guy fans demand and proving himself worthy of a first round pick in the NBA Draft again. FAMILY BUSINESS Before Rush graduated elementary school his brothers were already high school basketball legends. JaRon and Kareem Rush became Kansas City,Mo's favorite basketball duo at Pembroke Hill High School. JaRon had the athleticism. He once shattered a backboard after a dunk in the state playoffs. Kareem was the shooter. His left-handed stroke was deadly from nearly anywhere on the court. Jon Goering/KANSAN Junior guard Brandon Rush draws contact on a drive to the basket during overtime, but officials didn't call a foul. Rush grabbed the rebound and scored the bucket.

Kareem won another his senior year after JaRon graduated. Then it all crashed down. In 1999, JaRon's sophomore year at UCLA and Kareem's freshman year at Missouri, Amateur Athletic Union coach Myron Piggie was accused of giving money to several of his players including JaRon and Kareem. The state championships were gone. The Rush legacy was tarnished. Brandon stepped into their shadow when he entered high school in 2000. They were Kansas City legends for their on-court excellence and off-court imperfections. Brandon had to play the same kind of game, but make different decisions. That's pressure. "Being JaRon and Kareem's little brother," Brandon said, "it was always, I have to be better than they are or at least where they are at. I just played my type of game. I didn't listen to what people had to say." Junior guard Brandon Rush takes a shot over Missouri guard Matt Lawrence and Missouri forward Leo Lyons. Rush was the top scorer for Kansas with 19 points. in Brandon. They saw a player who had an all-around game, evident by his averages of 21 points, six rebounds and five assists per game his senior year. Brandon left high school ranked as the 13th best prospect in the country. Perhaps more importantly, his high school career didn't include tales of shoeboxes full of dollar bills and questionable AAU coaches. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN It wasn't easy for Brandon at first. He bounced through three Kansas City-area high schools before he finally found his niche at Mt. Zion Christian Academy, a basketball powerhouse, in North Carolina. His game improved away from the pressures of home. KANSAS 25 LIONS 5 Recruiting experts took notice. They saw JaRon's athleticism and Kareem's jump shot "He saw the mistakes JaRon made," said Jeanette Jacobs, Rush's grandmother. "He didn't want to make the same ones." SILENCING THE WHISPERS Brandon surprised no one when he entered the NBA Draft in the spring of 2005. He'd talked about going pro since his junior year of high school ended. Heck, he didn't even visit a college campus his senior year. But it was a surprise when he withdrew his name. All of a sudden, college was his top option. He chose Kansas and enrolled shortly after school started that August. KU fans should've been pumped: an NBA prospect had landed in their laps at the last second. Lawrence is a short drive from Kansas City, short enough that everyone was familiar with the Rush family. Fans remembered how They weren't. JaRon criticized former Kansas coach Roy Williams' playing style. They knew about Myron Piggie and assumed Brandon was no different from his brothers. He heard the whispers. "Lazy" and "stupid," that's what they called him. He took it to heart. "I wanted to prove to people they were wrong," Brandon said. "I had to prove to them I was able to do the work and stay in college." He proved it by leading the team in scoring his freshman year and becoming the first freshman named to the All-Big 12 first team. SEE RUSH ON PAGE 58 THE MECCA OF JAYHAWK ITEMS!

RUSH (CONTINUED FROM 57) He won all the individual honors again his sophomore season All Big 12, Wooden All American and helped lead the team to regular and postseason Big 12 titles and a spot in the Elite Eight. The Elite Eight berth probably wouldn't have been possible without him. Something clicked during a Sweet 16 game against Southern Illinois. He drove to the hoop with an attitude, a killer instinct. With less than a minute in the game, he dribbled toward the basket, leaned and banked a shot off the glass. It was the final basket of Kansas' 61-58 victory. He shot 6-for-6 and finished with five rebounds and five assists. Brandon had proven himself as a capable team player during his two years. He had also shown fans they were wrong to think he'd be a cancer. He did fine in school — he even had a 3.6 GPA one semester — and never made off-court mistakes. "With me," JaRon said, "I got in a bit of trouble and he learned. He's a very quiet, funny guy. He taught me how to act cool." ONE MORE ROAD TO CROSS Brandon dribbled into the lane for a dunk during a pick up game in May like held done hundreds of times before. As he sailed through the air, his life couldn't have been much better. The NBA dream hed been chasing since high school was lying right in front of him. ESPN analyst Jay Bilas listed him as a top 20 prospect. Brandon had it made. He came down from his leap. He heard a pop - his ACL. The NBA dream was gone. It had been replaced with another scar. Brandon showed he was different than his brothers and silenced critics who thought held disrupt chemistry at Kansas, but healing this one could be harder. "It's so much different," Rush said. "People are wondering if I can be OK to play, if I'm going to be the old Brandon I used to be." That's why he committed himself to rehabbing his knee during the summer and improving the weaknesses in his game. He dribbled tennis balls to better his suspect left hand and practiced stationary shooting. He also wanted to take it to the rim more this year to draw fouls. Self said the injury should turn his player into a "new Brandon." He might not be as athletic as he was last year, but Self was confident he would learn new techniques to compensate. "They say Jordan got better when he was less athletic," Self said. "He was such a great athlete early, but he became a better basketball player later in his career. I think Brandon KANSAS 25 1 Mindv Ricketts/KANSAN Junior guard Brandon Rush drives down the lane past North Carolina guard Marcus Ginyard during the first half of the game against North Carolina. Rush was the high scorer of the game with 25 points. He also had two assists, one block and seven rebounds. is going to be a better basketball player." It wouldn't hurt if Michael Jordan's winning mentality rubbed off on Rush as well. Fans have always complained Rush didn't crave the ball enough during crucial moments. For Brandon to come all the way back, he had to demand the ball at the end of important games like he did against Southern Illinois. "He always had attitude," senior forward Darnell Jackson said. "He's going to be a great factor for us because he can shoot, and because he's been working since he's been out. When we need Brandon to step up big, he'll step up for us." 'A LITTLE BIT OF PRESSURE' The Late Night scrimmage ended, and Brandon walked off the court with his teammates. He was the only one not dripping with sweat. After changing with the team, Brandon left the locker room to talk with the media. A writer from ESPN interviewed him. The entire nation wanted to know how he would return from the injury, if he'll able to heal from this scar, if he'll be the old Brandon and be a new, better one at the same time. "I feel a little bit of pressure but anybody would feel a little bit after surgery on a knee," Brandon said. "I'm worried about getting hurt again and just not being able to help the team win, but I don't think it will affect my play. I have to come in there with a free mind and know what my knee can handle." Judging by how he handled the scars in his life, he should be fine. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 59 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL The end of the road Seniors fought harder than ever this season KANSAS 24 KANSAS 5 Russell Robinson Rodrick Stewart Darnell Jackson Jeremy Case Sasha Kaun BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Laughter could wait. Jeremy Case had to keep playing his role. He sat in the corner of the locker room at Ford Field, surrounded by Matt Kleinmann, Chase Buford, Brad Witherspoon, Brennan Bechard, Conner Teahan and Tyrel Reed. They staged a fake interview, and Case was the subject. "Mr. Case," Buford asked, "in your own personal opinion, how old is Stephen Curry?" "That's a good question," Case replied, holding back while his teammates cracked up. "Now this is off the record, but I'd say 14." He finally gave in and started laughing. These are happy times for Case and his other four senior teammates, guard Russell Robinson, forward Darnell Jackson, center Sasha Kaun and guard Rodrick Stewart. After going through four years of gut-wrenching tournament losses, they were at the Final Four in San Antonio. By April 8, their Kansas careers would come to an end. They were savoring their last days and counting on their senior experience to help Kansas reach the ultimate goal of winning a national title. "Not too many people get to experience this, even going to the Final Four," Stewart said. "I'm still in awe of that. But to win the whole thing? Pssh. You're talking about making history, man. That's big right there." Jackson never paid close attention to the Final Four until his sophomore year of high school. That year, 2002, he watched Drew Gooden and the Jayhawks play against Maryland from his home in Oklahoma City. After watching Gooden, he asked his mom, Shawn, if she ever thought he could make it that far. She just laughed. During the past three years, Shawn's reaction seemed justified. Jackson and his senior teammates seemed destined to never make it to the final weekend. As freshmen, they sat on the bench together and watched a vaunted Kansas senior class get shocked by Bucknell in the first round. They didn't learn and fell to Bradley the next season. "Losing in the first round hurts," Jackson said. "It hurts a lot." Last season, Jackson sensed that this time it would be different. He told Case before they left for the second weekend of the tournament in San Jose that they were going to make the Final Four. Instead, Kansas lost another heartbreaker, this time to UCLA in the Elite Eight. The losses weren't the worst part either. Jackson went through several welldocumented tragedies and a suspension for receiving improper benefits. Stewart struggled to adjust after transferring from Southern California and lost his brother to murder two months ago. Robinson had a bad case of homesickness his freshman year. Case dealt with a redshirt season and playing for a coach that didn't recruit him, and Kaun battled inconsistency problems. "Just going through stuff like that makes you tougher and brings you closer," Stewart said. After all the turmoil, the seniors had one final March run to put it all together. They'd already won four Big 12 titles and three conference tournament championships, but they needed something more to SEE SENIORS ON PAGE 60 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KARSAN 60 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL POSS. KANSAS 20 KAISAS 10 The five 2008 seniors, Darnell Jackson, from left, Rodrick Stewart, Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun and Jeremy Case, wait to check into the Senior Night game March 3 against Texas Tech. KANSAN FILE PHOTO SENIORS (CONTINUED FROM 60) secure their place in history. They needed a Final Four. "They know at Kansas we're measured at a high level and they want to go out as being recognized as one of the winningest classes," coach Bill Self said earlier this season. "It's hard to do that if you win Big 12 tiles and don't go to the Final Four." The magical run for the seniors started in the Villanova game last Friday. Kansas had won two games already, but the seniors started making a difference that night. Before they ran on the court, Stewart told Jackson this couldn't be their last game. Freshman center Cole Aldrich "I'm not going to let him score on me," Robinson declared, speaking about Villanova star Scottie Reynolds. heard another senior, Robinson, make a admitted that he didn't quite understand promise. the importe- Reynolds didn't score until Kansas already held a big lead. Robinson poured in 13 points in the first half. Another senior, Kaun, stepped up against Davidson two "But to win the whole thing? Pssh. You're talking about making history, man. That's big right there." RODRICK STEWART Senior guard days later. Kaun a game-saving 13-point, six-rebound per- the importance of the NCAA Tournament in previous seasons. The guy had only been playing ball in America for about six years. He fully understood it this time because of the sting of last year's Elite Eight loss, so much so that he riled the team up in the locker room then backed up his talk with formance. He couldn't have done that last season. Robinson probably wouldn't have played with the same desire either. They did it because they were seniors. "I don't think you could ever tell a junior that a senior cares more than you until next year when he's a senior," Self said. "And then he'll say I cared more than I did because there's no safety net. There is no next year for these guys, so for all these seniors who have given their heart and soul to the program, there is certainly a different feel than if they have a safety net." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2008 KANSAS BASKETBALL 61 More than meets the eye SAN ANTONIO — Twenty years from snow, the record books will lie. The numbers will paint a picture of the 2008 Kansas Jayhawks as the favorite: a top-seeded juggernaut that never faced overwhelming odds. What seedings and records won't explain are the smaller Cinderella stories: the individual tales of tragedy and the ultimate redemption gained in the Jayhawks' 75-68 victory on college basketball's grandest stage. Just more than one year ago, Darnell Jackson's career at Kansas nearly ended. The senior forward wanted out. He wanted home. Jackson was one decision away from heading back home to Oklahoma City to help take care of his mother who was enduring tight financial times and struggling with an injury sustained in a car accident. An impromptu meeting with coach Bill Self convinced Jackson to stay in Lawrence. Jackson's choice was the start of a magical few months for the forward and his team. BY ASHER FUSCO AFUSCO@KANSAN.COM Jackson earned a starting job this season and made the most of his opportunity. The imposing 6-foot-8 post skyrocketed onto NBA scouts' radar screens after going mostly unnoticed for the first three years of his career. Less than one year ago, Brandon Rush's career at Kansas started over. The junior guard was ready to leave for the greener pastures of the NBA when his knee betrayed him. The ligaments that had made him a phenomenal dunker and defender gave up, delaying his NBA dream. Rush pulled his name from the draft and resigned himself to another year of playing without pay. Thirty-seven victories and an NCAA championship later, it turns out Rush's year in basketball purgatory paid off. Four years ago, Rodrick Stewart was a starter in the USC backcourt. The stocky freshman had the chance to play alongside his brother, Lodrick, and play big minutes at a major-conference school. Instead, Stewart transferred to Kansas and he sat on the bench for the better part of two seasons. Stewart finally became a contributor this season, settling into a niche as a high-energy A deeper look at the baggage the baskteball team carried through a remarkable season reveals that the 2008 Kansas Jayhawks beat the odds. defensive specialist, but his personal struggles didn't disappear.

Playing through pain Collins scored 11 points against North Carolina and 11 against Memphis another cog in the Jayhawks' efficient offensive machine. The world adores an underdog.

BY CASE KEEFER CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM This year, the University of Kansas' two revenue sports squads, the football and men's basketball teams, lost a total of four times. The Kansas Jayhawks celebrate their Midwest regional championship after defeating Davidson 59-57 March 30 at Ford Field in Detroit. Kansas was the final No.1 seed to advance to the Final Four, making this the first year all four top-seeded teams advanced to the Final Four. Kansas defeated North Carolina and Memphis for the title. Jon Goering/KANSAN Four losses just think about that. That means about 92 percent of the time when the Jayhawks walked on the field or court, they won. If you were that proficient in the classroom, you'd have a 4.0 grade point average. If the president ever received that high of an approval rating, we'd be living in euphoria. That's why Kansas' 75-68 overtime victory against Memphis in Monday night's National Championship did more than simply bring Lawrence its first title in 20 years: It capped off the greatest year in Kansas sports history. CBS' traditional 'One Shining Moment' highlights montage, which is played at the conclusion of the NCAA Tournament to commemorate the champions, just doesn't do what happened here justice. Nope, the network's head honchos would have to create 'A Year's Worth of Glowing Memories' video to do that. And there would be more than enough The sun FINALLY came out for the Hawks!

'The Chalmers Shot,' which will be remembered for decades to come, could be repeated for five minutes straight without ever getting old for Jayhawk fans. How about sophomore forward Darrell Arthur blocking national darling Tyler Hansbrough's shot in the first half of Saturday's game? Let's not forget the Sherron Collins-to-Sasha Kaun alley-oop in the same game that re-energized the Jayhawks for the final seven minutes. Add Mario Chalmers' eight threepointers in the Big 12 Championship or jumping out to a 32-11 lead in the opening nine minutes against Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse. This list could stretch on. The Kansas basketball and football teams collectively had four losses this year. That means that they won 92 percent of the time. Oh, there's football triumphs, too. Maybe sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing directing the Jayhawks up and down the field against Nebraska en route to 10 straight touchdowns and 76 points. Junior linebacker Joe Mortensen's burst through the Virginia Tech offensive line that led to a blocked field goal in the Orange Bowl needs to be immortalized. This year was incredible for Kansas sports fans. More than that - this year was dominance. Even the most bitter defeats had their silver linings. Kansas State might have beaten Kansas for the first time in 25 years at Bramlage Coliseum, but the Cats were beaten into submission in Lawrence. Not to mention, they squandered a third opportunity to face the Hawks by losing in the Big 12 Tournament and the NCAA Tournament. Missouri might have ruined Kansas' football national title aspirations, but the Tigers ended up in Dallas playing in the Cotton Bowl. Kansas was rewarded with a more exotic location and a more notable trophy at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Neither the football or basketball teams lost a home game all year. And while we're at it, KU Athletics Director Lew Perkins dominated airtime during the Super Bowl because he was sitting right below Peyton Manning. But nothing can be better than the fact that there's going to be a new banner in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse. Did the stars just align correctly over Lawrence? Is Perkins just truly Buddha? We'll never know why it happened. But one thing is for sure - something magical took place here this year. Enjoy it.

In Henley's first season, he rushed for 143 yards against Nebraska, 237 yards against Iowa State and made a 100-yard kickoff return against Colorado. Two days before Henley was supposed to break the freshman rushing record, he was caught stealing with a couple of teammates.

Mary and Charles Sr attended every one of June's Linden Eagles youth football games and many of his practices. His parents shielded him from bad influences. June had to be home at 10 p.m. on weekdays throughout high school or he'd better find somewhere else to sleep. And he got football. Mary first wanted him to play baseball, but June stopped after one trip to the park when he got hit in the head with a ball. Charles Sr. took over from there. They'd practice in the backyard at nights, and Mary could tell her son really loved football. It was the way he ran.

Caked with mud and wet grass, June ripped his wet socks off before the game. He picked up a piece of white chalk, drew a line at the top of his ankles and colored above his shoes. "OK," Whiting remembered June saying. "Everyone happy?" He ran for 240 yards that night, without socks. That was June. Always playful.

Students who participate in the day do not speak all day, unless it involves work or class. Participants will carry cards to explain why they are silent. Megan Vail, activism chair for KU Queers and Allies, said the Day of Silence hadn't been a tradition at the University but that she wanted to start one. This year's event is being held in remembrance of Lawrence King, a middle school boy who was murdered by a classmate because King asked him to be his valentine. Daryl Presgraves, spokesman for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network said the organization has sponsored the nationwide day since 2001. He said the organization concentrated mostly on schools with kindergarten through 12th grade, but that the event was started in a college at the University of Virginia. "A lot of college students took heart in the idea that this was a way to positively bring attention to a problem they saw on campus." Presgraves said. He said students from more than 6,500 schools across the nation registered online to participate in the day. He said it was a simple way people could show support for the Silent for Lawrence King Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence (DOS), a national youth movement bringing attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by anti-LGBT bullying, name-calling and harassment. This year's DOS is held in memory of Lawrence King, a 15 year-old student who was killed in school because of his sexual orientation and gender expression. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward building awareness and making a commitment to address these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you going to do to end the Silence? Students participating in the Day of Silence will carry the above card. The card is an explanation of the Day of Silence and why students are participating in it. LGBT community and also make schools better. Maggie Childs, KU Queers and Allies adviser and professor of east asian languages, said she knew students participated in the event in years past, but that it would be higher profile this year. "We're in a liberal town on a liberal campus, but there's still hostility and homophobia," Childs said. Childs said she the Day of Silence was a paradox Vail said that during Gay Pride "We're in a liberal town on a liberal campus, but there's still hostility and homophobia." MAGGIE CHILDS Professor of east asian languages Week earlier this month, students ripped downprideflags around campus.

Brenna Hawley 》 OBITUARY Journalism lecturer was a 'problem solver' Journalism lecturer Christy Bradford, right, displays a certificate of appreciation from Lt. Gen. David Petraeus at a March 29, 2006, ceremony. Bradford, who had been at KU since 1999, died early Thursday morning of an apparent heart attack. PETRADS BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com Journalism lecturer Christy Bradford died unexpectedly early Thursday morning of an apparent heart attack. David Guth, associate dean of journalism, said Bradford was one of the most versatile instructors in the school. "To make a baseball analogy, she was a utility infielder," Guth said, "I could put her anywhere on the field." Bradford had 35 years of experience in journalism including working as a managing editor of The Detroit News when it won a Pulitzer Prize for beat reporting in 1994. Bradford moved to Kansas City with her husband in 1999 and requested to teach at the University of Kansas. She was immediately added to the faculty. "She brought not only her experience but a real sense of humanity to the classroom," Guth said. What Bradford became known for within the school was her work as the multicultural scholars advisor, boasting that her department had the highest multicultural GPA last year, according to Ann Brill, dean of journalism. One of her multicultural students, Kim Wallace, Fort Smith, Ark., senior, credited Bradford for helping her get through her freshman and sophomore years. "She was really proud of those students." Brill said. "She was the person you went to when everything was falling apart," Wallace said. "She would tell you everything is OK and help you figure out how to get through it." Gabriella Souza, KU alumna, said, "I felt I could go to her to just complain or unwind. She was a problem solver" Souza, who served as editor-in-chief of The University Daily Kansan last year and is now a staff writer at the News-Press in Fort Meyers, Fla, said that she would not be a journalist without Bradford. "I just wouldn't; there is no question." Souza said. Souza said that Bradford was an amazing example of what a woman journalist could be. "When she went into the business, it was dominated by men and she was able to succeed and do well," Souza said. "Then she came here to teach, but she stayed connected to the outside world and that kept her credible." Souza said that Bradford had a special way of teaching. "She never pushed her own agenda," Souza said. "She always wanted you to find your own story and learn." Bob Giles, curator at Harvard University's Nieman Institute, worked closely with Bradford hiring her at the Democrat and Chronicle in 1981 before they both went to The Detroit News in 1986. "She was a strong right hand, a solid editor and she had an instinct for a good story." Giles said. "She was always a teaching editor and that reflected and carried over to her classes at KU" Giles said Bradford was a very private person. "Although you didn't know her innermost thoughts, she had a great following of people that cared about her." he said. Guth said Bradford mentioned she wasn't well feel on Wednesday and arranged a work day for her students on Thursday so she could go to the doctor. The school is now working to notify Bradford's students. Dean Guth said that in Bradford's memory, students in her classes should receive a sense of continuity and receive the fair credits they deserved. "We wee it to Christy to honor what she believed in — that is teaching good journalism — and to move on. This is a very sad day for all of us," Guth said.

Student volunteers collected the table scraps from plates sent to the dish room and compared the weight and volume of the food and liquid waste to what they collected April 15, when students did have trays. The results suggest that students wasted 100 pounds more food when they had trays, but Nona Golledge director of KU Dining Services, said those results may be inaccurate. ed the results," Golledge said. "I don't feel comfortable with the results quite yet because we did realize there are a lot of variables in the experiment that could have impacted the results," The two variables were a different number of students and a different menu served on the two days. Golledge said she would like to see the experiment conducted multiple times because that would give us more accurate information," she said. The University of Kansas wouldn't be the first school to imple- before she trusted the results.

"If we do it again, wed like to serve the same menu on both days NONA GOLLEDGE Director of KU Dining Services ment such a concept. According to a report issued by KU Dining Services, Ohio State University removed trays from its food services, which resulted in a 28 percent decrease in the amount of food students wasted. Each student wasted 2.52 ounces less per meal when they didn't have Sarah Houfaidi, an Overland Park sophomore who was one of the four student-volunteers who trays, according to the report. collected food waste, said she noticed a significantly lower amount of food waste when students didn't have trays. "There's only been one plate per person as opposed to multiple plates because they mixed feelings about the new concept. Emily Bergman, St. Benedict freshman, said she hated not having don't have as much space to carry as many without trays," Houfaidi said.

KASEY MILLER St. Louis freshman a tray. "It's a lot of work because I have to take two trips to get everything I want," she said. "I don't think it would reduce weight for me because I know what I want, but it could for others." Kasey Miller, St. Louis freshman, said she didn't mind not having a tray. "I don't think it's that big of a deal because that way people won't get 10 million things they won't eat," she said. "You know what will suck though, bringing all this crap back to the conveyer belt thing once I'm done." If multiple experiments prove that taking trays from students significantly reduces food waste, Golledge said her department would not take trays away until it collected sufficient feedback from students. "We would definitely get student input on this," she said.

I used to have romantic views about the West. However, I am extremely disappointed by the western media's attempt to demonize China. The world has waited for China to join it, yet China also waits for the world to understand her. The Beijing Olympics provides a great chance for us to know each other. — Minran Pu, president, KU Chinese Students & Scholars Friendship Association Politics, Olympics always intertwined Whether we like it or not, politics will remain entangled within the Olympic matrix until it is no longer conducted. When people compete in the Olympics, they are not wearing uniforms that advertise Adidas or Nike — the uniforms worn by Olympic athletes, rather, proudly display the name of the respective home country of each athlete. Just as a soldier in the Army would wear an American flag patch on his or her uniform, so too do the athletes of the Olympics. When Olympians suit up, strap in or take aim, they carry the weight of not only their own hopes and dreams but those of the men and women of their respective countries. — Ryan Shaffer, Omaha, Neb., senior Media don't portray China accurately I am disappointed by the Western media's one-sided reporting about Tibet. The media here stereotype to frame the story for China.I have seldom read any positive story about China here. I strongly support the Beijing Olympics, not only because it is a good opportunity for China to showcase its development, but it also is good for the mutual communication and understanding between people from China and countries abroad. Dan Wang, Shenyang China, graduate student @KANSAN.COM Read and comment on all student responses at kansan.com/opinion. Olympic games falling to greed, hypocrisy What we say The idea that the Olympics are somehow above politics is ridiculous. Beijing is using the games as political leverage, just as every politician is using the torch relay as a photo op. If politics can be used, why should bovcotting be off limits? I will not be watching the games and am sad that a once great event has been damaged People have the right to support the Olympics, just as others have the right to protest them. Giving China a free pass because of its economic importance is ridiculous, especially when these games are made possible through political oppression in Tibet and arms deals with countries like Sudan by greed and hypocrisy. Kelsey Hayes, editorial board writer China running out of time to clear the air China has a long way to go before its pollution is under control and at the levels that its government promised would be attained in time for the Games. With one coal-fired power plant built weekly, those standards have gone out the window. Although pollution is no reason for countries to boycott, the United States, and the rest of the world for that matter, start worrying about China's growing influence environmentally, socially and economically. — Lauren Keith, associate opinion editor HOW TO SUBMIT The Kansan welcomes letters to the editors and guest columns submitted by students, faculty and alumni.

COMMENTARY Prostitution policy lags behind others NICK MANGIARACINA IF I WANNA GIVE A GIRL SOMETHING IN EXCHANGE FOR SEX, I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO! THAT'S CALLED MARRIAGE KID. The scene: After school, 12-year-old girls wearing mini-skirts and tube tops wander the clean-cut suburban streets in search of middle school boys to have sex with. With maroon lipstick in one hand and a pocket mirror in the other, these girls prepare for the seduction. Upon consummating this abomination against God, these whores rob the moral bank of society until sucked dry. The problem with the above doomsday scenario is that it has no basis in reality. It is an act of the imagination, yet opponents to the legalization of prostitution continue to use a variation of this slippery slope argument to support their beliefs. Other imaginary effects of legalizing prostitution include the complete and utter destruction of the family or simply the end of civilization. No one can predict the future, but it's logical to speculate on what would happen if prostitution were legalized based on areas where it has been legalized. In the United States, prostitution has been legal in parts of Nevada since 1967. Here the government taxes and regulates the industry. Prostitutes are required to get monthly exams to check for STDs and brothel owners are liable if a patron contracts an STD from a prostitute. Condoms are mandatory for all forms of sex in areas where prostitution is legal. The problem with keeping prostitution illegal in most parts of America is that it allows the sex trade to continue to flourish and for the exploitation of women to continue. San Francisco is a major hub for sex trafficking, and this is not likely to change. Here, women don't go to the police because the activity they're engaged in is illegal and prostitutes are punished for it. In the U.S. alone, the State Department estimates there are 14,500 to 17,500 people brought into the United States each year. Keeping prostitution illegal is the 21st century version of prohibition. Bootlegging emerged in America from prohibition just as the sex trade emerged in places Again, sex trafficking is only a problem in places where it's illegal because there's a high demand and that demand cannot be legally met — this creates a black market. Why risk breaking the law, possibly exposing yourself to an STD and supporting a trade that abuses women when you could legally, safely and humanly buy the services of a woman? This is the way it is in places like Germany or Amsterdam. This is not only a U.S. problem, though. According to the FBI, the industry pulls in $9.5 billion worldwide each year. In places like Russia, pimps have threatened violence against women's families if they try to run away. Thailand has one of the worst records in the world. Women are routinely abused and sold into sexual slavery — many as young as 12 or 13. These are both places where prostitution is illegal. If legalized, the industry should be taxed and regulated like it is in Western Europe. This is the middle ground between illegality and a laissez faire system. Women younger than 18 should not be allowed to participate, but women who want to should be able to. A 5 percent sin tax would be pragmatic to help convince people who would initially oppose the legislation. This idea has already been applied to alcohol and cigarettes. where prostitution was illegal. The tax money from prostitution could be used for things that benefit society such as funding higher education or starting paying off the $9.4 trillion national debt. Legalizing prostitution would also decrease isolation, make people less ashamed of sex and create jobs. These jobs created would also decrease the income gap between men and women. In conclusion, the illegality of prostitution allows for the exploitation of women to continue. Opposition is based on slippery slope arguments. Also, the government will directly benefit from legalization and so will we, as this is a government of, for and by the people. Mangiaracina is a Lenexa senior in journalism. COMMENTARY Looking back, there may be more to opinions than just having them JOSH ANDERSON I've spent a great deal of time this semester worrying. Not about tests or grades as much as the backlashes for columns I've written. I'm not naive enough to be surprised at this. I know where I stand in relation to many who disagree with me on many issues, but it doesn't change that I am actually a fairly sensitive person and am not the biggest fan of confrontation. than a hunch or a political leaning. It is a matter of logic and reason. Our response to an opinion should involve as much consideration for the truth (or untruth) of what it says as the penning of it. That way, someone's hunch doesn't give birth to a knee-ierk reaction. Because of this, I've thought of this semester as "the opinion." I've derived a number of ideas, a few of which I'd like to relate here. 1. There are many types of opinions: informed opinions, uninformed opinions, logical and illogical opinions, well worded and impressive-sounding opinions as well as perplexing and ambiguous ones. Our culture is permeated with a sense of our inalienable right to instant gratification. Our dealings in the world of opinions and dialogue should not follow this model. There is no drive-thru window to healthy dialogue, and once we take a bite we should chew it seven times and let it digest for 30 minutes before we jump back in the pool. Granted, some opinion pieces function more as observations of the world through an author's unique lens instead of as statements of truth. Others, however, have absolutely everything to do with a morality — whether something is right or wrong. A responsible attitude and behavior toward opinions is essential because informed opinions constitute the cornerstone of a democratic society. In a sense, this nation is built on the foundation of the opinion page, on the back-and-forth of ideas and values. 2. A certain amount of critical thinking must be involved not only the formation of the opinion, but also in understanding another's opinion. A valid opinion is more In order for this to happen, we must work to rid ourselves of a number of bad habits. 1. We must abandon the doctrine of assuming. If I make the statement that A is better than B, it would be irresponsible to assume that this is because I hate B with an illogical and genocidal hatred. Assuming why or how a person can come to such a conclusion is much less valuable than knowing why they think that way, let alone actually dismantling their argument. 2. Accusations leveled at an author that do not address the LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Send letters to the editor by e-mail to kansanopdesk@ gmail.com.

Opinions, editorials and the dialogue that flows from them in our culture should all be crafted in such a manner that they work towards the betterment of individuals, society and the whole world.

There are many forms of this: name-calling, calling into question the author's life experience or education, or associating the author with negative elements outside of the argument itself.

No. 20, rushes past Iowa State defenders. Henley helped Kansas to a 10-2 record his junior year and finished his career as the topusher in KU history. His behavior troubles while at the University of Kansas, however, marred his tenure. When graduation rolled around, the senior class president and prom king gave the speech. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO foin 20 "What up," June shouted. All the seniors erupted June's mother, Mary Henley, holds a picture of June during his football years at the University. Mary first wanted June to play baseball, but real-ized that June loved football. "You could just see the desire in it." Mary said. "All his life" "He had to say two words," Mary said, "and they went off." - * * * "I would have staked my life on June Henley." Hauser said. June doesn't remember exactly what he said that day. Neither do his parents. They were just proud. June graduated with good grades, had a steady girlfriend named Tracy Simmons and was getting ready to play football at Kansas: a sure success story. June Henley took one look at the University of Kansas and knew. Really, One look. June saw the spacious, tree-covered campus and fell in love right away. "Mom," June told Mary, "I'm going here. I already know." He also liked coach Glenn Mason and his recruiting assistant, Mitch Browning. They promised that June would get the opportunity to play running back. Michigan and Ohio State had been recruiting June as a defensive back. Mason's decision to let him run paid off immediately. June ran for 83 yards against Florida State his first game. He continued to impress as the season went on — 143 yards against Nebraska, 237 against Iowa State, a 100-yard kickoff return against Colorado. Charles Sr. and Mary bought two-for-one plane tickets on Southwest so they could see every home game. Life was great. Then trouble arrived. Georgia Hauser saw June's mug in the upper corner of her TV on SportsCenter one Thursday evening in November 1993. He'd been caught with a couple of teammates stealing a leather coat and a pair of Reebok basketball shoes from the Half Price Store on Iowa Street a few days earlier. It wasn't the first time they'd Henley crowded into the Henley's three-bedroom house on Renwood Place and watched the 1997 NFL Draft on a big-screen TV. Burgers and hot dogs sizzled on the grill outside. Greens and other Mary Henley specialties baked in the "Part of a college coach's problem is working through their problems, solving their problems." done it, just the first time they'd gotten caught. GLENN MASON Former Kansas football coach "We just thought we could get away with it." June recalled. The news broke two days before he was supposed to break the KU freshman rushing record. Mason let June run that Saturday. He scorched Missouri for 118 yards and entered the Kansas history books. His behavior troubles continued. June helped Kansas to a 10-2 record his junior year and finished his career as the top rusher in KU history, but several incidents marred his tenure. He was arrested in 1995 for pushing his girlfriend. In 1996, he was cited for not paying child support, but the charges were dropped. Later that year, June got pulled over for a DUI, driving with an expired license and driving without insurance. He finished his last year of college 10 credits short of a degree, hoping for a long career in the NFL. "Part of a college coach's problems is working through their problems, solving their problems," Mason said. "You might see a good football player and see he's a bad guy. That was not June." Friends and family of June ***** kitchen. This was June's big weekend—the coronation of years of hard work, the ticket to a long career of fame, fortune and football. Afterwaiting all of Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs CONTRIBUTED PHOTO finally selected June with the first pick in the fifth round on Sunday. Analysts said June dropped in the draft because of his behavior issues. He wanted to prove them wrong. With Kansas City, he never got the opportunity. The Chiefs cut him, and June spent his rookie season on the St. Louis Rams' practice squad. June beat out Greg Hill, Robert 4. 2.1 Holcombe and Jerald Moore the next year and started three games for the Rams. In his first start, June rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns in a victory against the New Faulk, June was living the life. He bought a Lincoln Navigator, partied hard and spent his money. Sometimes, after practices, quarterback Kurt Warner would ask June if he wanted to come to Bible study with him. The reply was always the same. "It's all about June right now," June recalls telling him. "God can wait." "He'll take it away from you," Warner would tell June, "if you don't give back." He wouldn't mind backing up The dream got taken away sooner than June ever imagined. In a late July scrimmage against the Indianapolis Colts, June felt his toe pop up after a carry. Turf toe. Hed had it before and expected it to last two or three weeks. But this pain was severe. June didn't play the rest of the preseason and had to make a decision: play for the practice squad for less money or take an injury settlement. England Patriots, his brother Terry Glenn's team. Most of his money from the previous season had already been consumed because of his extravagant lifestyle. With Simmons pregnant again, June chose the settlement. "It showed me that I can do this," June said. "I can play at this level. It let me know and let the coaches know." St. Louis rewarded him with a two-year, $600,000 contract but also signed Marshall Faulk that offseason, making June the default backup. "It was hard to take. That was all I knew growing up — football, football, football." JUNE HENLEY Former Kansas football player June tried out later that season for the Miami Dolphins, and Glenn got him a workout with the Patriots the next season, but June didn't make either team. After 17 years of being a star, football was gone from June Henley's life. "I didn't really ever accept it fully like, oh this is it," June said. "It was hard to take. That was all I knew growing up — football, football, football." ★★★★ A U-Haul pulled up to Mary Henley's house on a sticky, hot Columbus summer day. June and Mary unloaded clothes and furniture into the basement. Day one of life two. "If you're coming back home, it must be time for you to get the Lord. to get right with Christ if football's not going to work and forget about it." Marry said she told June. If only it were that easy. June got a job at a steel processing plant. He wore boots with steel toes. He stood in front of a conveyor belt. He earned about $80 on his first paycheck. JANETT LAMEN 1970 ALL-STAR TEAM COLLEGE BASKETBALL 20 JANETT LAMEN 1970 ALL-STAR TEAM COLLEGE BASKETBALL 20 COLORADO CITY LEAGUE "For real, this is not me." June thought back then. "I know this can't be." A picture of Henley as a football player at Brookhaven High School hangs on a wall above. Friends and teachers of Henley remember him as much for his playful personality as they do for his football, basketball and track. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Family and friends urged him to go back to school and finish his final 10 credit hours. June even once contacted Kansas to get his transcripts, but he never re-enrolled. June soon quit and started working for Charles Sr. in the Dispatch's circulation department. Life in the real world started taking its toll. He missed football, hated work and had just ended his 11-year relationship with Tracy. "Once June knew he wasn't going to play pro," Whiting said, "he just gave up." The free ride others gave June the football star also stopped. He used to get out of tests and homework assignments in high school and got suspended for only one game in college for all of his legal troubles. "We put athletes on a pedestal," Whiting said. "In Columbus, he could get away with anything because everybody knew him." About three or four weeks after his last tryout for the Patriots, June started "indulging." He smoked crack or snorted cocaine and even tried selling it. His new girlfriend, Makeda Martin, was the first to find out. One night June called her to pick him up from a bar then came clean. He told her he started smoking crack and had cheated on her a couple times. "It's not going to be an easy road," Martin said she told her boyfriend that night. drugs sometimes gave him money, knowing that if she didn't, June would steal to fund his drug use. Drugs provided an escape to June's depression. "You get clean." June said about being in jail, "then come out and do the same thing." She knew that because he did steal. He was charged twice with misdemeanor theft in 2003 and sentenced to three months in a Columbus jail. For the next two years, June kept using drugs and was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia in December 2000. Then, as his mother said, he hit rock bottom. "We athletes on a pedestal. In Columbus, he could get away with anything." The binges could last for two or three days, Martin said. June would return to Martin's house to eat, sleep, ask for money and then return to the street. Martin, who worked at a bank and didn't use MARV WHITING Henley's high school coach "When you're doing that," June said, "you ain't really worried about anything else. Everything else can be put on hold." June quit working and started going on drug binges.

"Those were scary times," Mary said. "I could tell something was wrong because he wasn't com- by, Mary said she prayed for him, hoping that the Lord could help her son. A - * * * * Martin hadn't seen June for several days. Another crack binge. Martin always got scared, but she said she always thought he'd come back home every time. On Nov. 17, 2005, he didn't.

Two weeks earlier, he told his mother that. Burglar had been terrorizing a wealthy neighborhood in Columbus. June couldn't understand. How could someone steal from inside someone's house, he wondered. Drugs changed his mind. June stole to support his habit. "I just felt the spirit going through me. My whole life changed." lookout for a house burglary less than a mile away from where his mom and dad lived. His accomplices kept bringing out the loot. A mixer. A camera. A DVD player. A neighbor stepped outside into his front yard three doors down after seeing a man carrying a TV set. He called the police. June saw him. He shouted at his accomplices. They sped east down Melrose Avenue with $1,345 worth of loot. \*\*\*\*\* An officer spotted the van about an hour later when June and his friends returned near the site of the crime to sell the stolen goods. June also got charged with aggravated robbery for a crime the day before. According to police reports, he'd gone inside a Sunoco Station, and when the clerk didn't accept his credit card, June menaced a woman customer and took a $20 bill from her. June spent the night of Nov. 17 in jail on $100,000 bond. He hasn't left since. A judge sentenced him to four years after he pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and aggra- vated burglary. cattle twice a day to make sure no one's escaped. In prison, a single football card proves that June Henley used to be more than the felon with a paunchy stomach whid'r rather play basketball during rec time. When he first arrived as an inmate at RCI, June's job was to wake up at 3:45 every other morning to help prepare breakfast. After a couple hours off, he'd prepare lunch at 10 and then do the same for dinner in the afternoon. Now June does janitorial work. He gets JUNE HENLEY Former Kansas football player He keeps the card in his cell to show other inmates and remind him of the life he lived as a St. Louis Rams running back. Here, most people don't even know he played football, and if they did, it wouldn't matter. No one gets special treatment in prison. Fights break out, the food tastes like rubber and the prisoners in June's unit get counted like about four hours of recreation time a day, when he plays basketball and lifts weights, and has his tiny TV in the cell he shares with one roommate. June watched KU's Orange Bowl victory in January. Phone conversations with Martin, his parents and Glenn provide some of his only enjoyment. The Bible's kept June away from the boredom, the fights, the clashing personalities and the strict prison guards. During his first few months at the reception center in Orient, Ohio, before he got transferred to RCI, June slowly started developing the faith his mother told him about. He would wake up and read a scripture. Go to the bathroom and read one there. Then, in a crowded cell full of about 30 inmates on July 9, 2006, it all came together. June said he started speaking in tongues. A Somali inmate thought June was talking to him. He wasn't. It was a religious experience. "I just felt the spirit going through me," they had on draft day so many years ago. Friends and family will celebrate and help. Georgia Hauser will write recommendation letters. Mary is already trying to secure him a job at their church. June said he wanted to spend more time with his kids, Charletta, 14, Tanya, 11, and Charlea, 8. He said he might write an autobiography and is thinking about going back to school to become a trainer. "I have never seen any success stories from someone who used crack. In jail, you're away from it.The time to tell is when you're going to get out and have freedom." June regularly reads the bible and "Daily Bread," a prayer book in his cell. He doesn't fight or even cuss and is clean of his drug habit, he said. The days are long, but he's finally getting a clear head to reflect on his past. June said. "My whole life changed, man." Those close to June know it won't be easy. He's a convicted felon. Employers won't jump to hire someone who has no degree and has committed a violent crime. Then there's the drug problem. Martin knows about crack users all too well. One of her close family members has been addicted for 23 years, as have other friends. She's hopeful but not confident that her boyfriend can kick the habit. ★★★★ "I have never seen any success stories from someone who used crack," Martin said. "In jail, you're away from it. The time to tell is when you're going to get out and have freedom." Whiting, his one-time coach, thinks June could make it, but admits he thought June's dynamic personality would help him succeed after football the first time. He has a theory that 90 percent of people don't get their dream job but instead settle on Plan B. June Mary Henley is planning to host another party when June gets out on Nov. 15, 2009, just like the one MAKEDA MARTIN Henley's girlfriend didn't settle, he said. "That was June's problem," Whiting said. "He saw himself as a pro player, and when that ended, what was there to do?" Football is still not coming back. June failed once at life without the game and nearly destroyed himself. He'll be 35 when he gets out of prison, when he gets another opportunity, a Plan C. His mother prays that Plan C means Christ, his girlfriend worries it could stand for Crack Cocaine and another Cell, but it really stands for Choice. June Henley acknowledged that belongs to him alone. Edited by Matt Erickson MIDDLE EAST Bush, Abbas discuss 'road map' BY BEN FELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS BUSH SENATOR WASHINGTON - President Bush sought Thursday to inject some confidence into the flagging Mideast peace process, pledging that the contours of a Palestinian state can still be reached before he leaves office. But old obstacles, mainly disputed West Bank settlements, continue to threaten that prospect. President Bush meets with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Thursday, April 24, 2008, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. ASSOCIATED PRESS Bush's meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas yielded more commitments to peace but no immediate breakthroughs. The White House framed the conversation as a chance for Bush to learn how he can personally advance the stalled peace process when he visits Israel and other Mideast nations in May. "I assured the president that a Palestinian state is a high priority for me and my administration," Bush said with Abbas at his side in the Oval Office. The U.S. president added: "I'm confident we can achieve the definition of a state. I'm also confident it's going to require hard work." Bush's direct involvement in the peace process reflects a late push to score an elusive deal, one that could reshape a region and burnish his legacy. But he is up against formidable and familiar challenges that separate Israelis and Palestinians, plus a diminishing window for action. His term ends in January.Many experts say the chances of a deal remain slim. Unlike last month, when Bush said there was "plenty of time to get a deal done," his forecast was not quite that upbeat on Thursday. Still, he heaped praise on Abbas and reassured him that he wants a contiguous Palestinian state, not a "Swiss cheese" arrangement of land. Under the U.S.-backed peace plan known as the "road map," Israel is to halt settlement construction and take down unauthorized outposts built after March 2001 and Palestinians are to dismantle violent groups. The settlement issue, in particular, has raised tensions lately and prompted deep concerns from Abbas. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Abbas told Bush that he remained committed to the agreement. But Abbas noted that little progress has been made and said it was critical that Israel meet its obligations, particularly the requirement to halt settlements, according to Erekat. Bush, in his public comments, made no mention of the settlement matter. He seemed, instead, to emphasize the big picture. "The thing that I'm focused on, as you are, is how to define a state that is acceptable to both sides," Bush said with Abbas at his side. Both leaders, but Abbas in particular, did not hide their urgency given the bracket of Bush's final term. Bush, who met with Jordan's King Abdullah II on Wednesday, is heading back to the Middle East in May to celebrate Israel's 60th anniversary. He also is expected to visit Saudi Arabia and Egypt, where he will meet Abbas at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik The core unresolved issues remain the final borders of a Palestinian state, the fate of Jerusalem, disputed Israeli settlements and Palestinian refugees. "I believe very strongly that time is of the essence," Abbas said. "We are working very hard and hope not to waste any time." "A lot of this is up to the Palestinians and the Israelis, who committed to trying to work something out by the end of the year," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. "And we are hopeful that we can continue on that path." Abbas said peace would require Israel's withdrawal from the "occupied Arab and Palestinian territories." He said that, in turn, would lead many Arab and Islamic countries to normalize their relations with Israel. MUSIC Q & A with Common BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com KANSA Jessie Fetterling/KANSAN Common freestyles about Lawrence at the Lied Center Wednesday night. While wearing his Kansas sweatshirt, he gave a tribute to the area by rapping about The Crossing, Massachusetts Street and eating pizza at The Wheel. 4 Kansan reporter Andrew Wiebe got a chance to catch up with hip-hop luminary Common after the Chicago native's Student Union Activities-sponsored show Wednesday night at the Lied Center. The conversation touched on Common's Lawrence-centric freestyle, his relationship with the late hip-hop producer J Dilla and his acting career among other things. Look for the audio of the interview at Kansan.com. A: I talked with some students here, man. They were very helpful, and you know I kind of absorbed as much as I could on my way here. The funny thing is I came to basketball camp here when I was younger. I mean, I don't remember it from that. I actually just picked it up from talking to some students. Q: Obviously you had some personal information in the freestyle about Lawrence, Where did you pick up that knowledge so quickly? Q: You started off the show with 'Forever Begins' and ended up with a little bit of a tribute to J Dilla. What effect did he have on your career and what does that mean for you to be able to do that every night? A: I feel like he is like a brother to me from a musical standpoint and just a spiritual standpoint. He was somebody significant in my life. I love him as a person and it was a joy to get his music. To know that he was making a beat tape or a beat CD, it was like 'man...JD beats'. His effect is eternal, man. 'Finding Forever' also meant how you create and exist forever through what you do, the mark you leave on this Earth. I think he left a big mark for all of us. I just love him. I miss him too. It's great to get to perform and introduce more people to him. Q: As far as continuing musical collaborations with people, you went with some Kanye there, can you just talk about the musical chemistry between you two. A: Kanye and I, man, we come from very similar backgrounds in the way of Chicago South side and both our mothers were teachers, single moms but then my mother remarried. We kind of got these certain things about us that relate. Like I didn't grow up no gangster, and neither did he. We're just enthused about being ourselves, and creating together. I feel like that's my brother too in spiritual way and just in a musical way. He challenged me, and I challenge him too to make music that progressive and pushes the envelope. He also challenges me as a songwriter, as a MC to just get better and make better songs. He sparks ideas and he's also just a creative energy so it's always inspiring to work with him. I love working with him. Q: Q-Tip said 'me and Common, we are going to have The Standard [a proposed collaboration between the two], we're going to do that; but I still haven't seen it. What's the status on that? A: Yeah well we got to get to it. He got into finishing his album, I just got into working on my new album and I'm coming out in the summer. We probably get to it more in the fall. It was just an idea that we really want to bring into fruition. Once we started talking about it, it was like 'man, we really needed to have it ready,' but that's not where we're at right now. So it will come in due time. I'm an artist, but I'm a new actor. Q: You've got the Justice League coming. Are you at liberty to tell us what you'll be playing in that? Q: You've got the acting career going and you've got a lot of stuff coming out here. Where do you see your acting career going in the next 10 years or so? A: I am not at liberty to discuss it because the project is in the process of being brought into fruition. A: I would love to be a great actor, man, just somebody that people respect as an actor and becomes a big movie star. I would love to be in the Will Smith category or Denzel or Leonardo DiCaprio, leading guys that really have an impact and do good projects. Johnny Depp, you know. That's what I want to be like. When people are like 'you are a rapper making a transition,' I don't look at it like that. I look at it like Q: As far as living in New York, when are you going to get back to Chicago and do you have plans to live there again at some point in your life? A: I don't know about living in Chicago again. I love home. I love Chicago, but for the work that I do it's not lucrative for me to be there. I'm not in the mix there to do things that I love to do as far as work. My job has moved me to a new place. I go home to be at home and feel at home, but that's really it. Q: All right just one more, a little lighter thing. I had heard you are a vegan but I read something saying you went back to fish. What's up with that? A: Yeah, I eat fish, man. I needed some protein. I've been eating fish for like two years now, two and a half years. It's great too. I'm glad to be eating it. It was tough being vegan. I salute all vegans and vegetarians. Edited by Jared Duncan HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam has failed to police its adoption system, allowing corruption, fraud and baby-selling to flourish, the U.S. Embassy says in a new report obtained by The Associated Press. Adoptions cause controversy The nine-page document describes brokers scouring villages for babies, hospitals selling infants whose mothers cannot pay their bills, and a grandmother giving away her grandchild - without telling the child's mother. "I'm shocked and deeply troubled by the worst of the worst cases," said Jonathan Aloisi, deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi. BY BEN STOCKING ASSOCIATED PRESS Vietnam's top adoption official called the concerns "groundless." Bribery of orphanage officials may occur, but serious offenses such as baby-selling or kidnapping are not a problem, said Vu Duc Long, director of the Department of International Adoptions. The dispute comes amid a boom in adoptions from Vietnam. Americans — including actress Angelina Jolie — adopted more than 1,200 Vietnamese children over the 18 months ending March 31. In 2007, adoptions surged more than 400 percent from a year earlier, with 828 Vietnamese children adopted by American families. ally responsible manner." U. S. adoption agencies active in Vietnam said that despite some cases of wrongdoing, most adoptions in the country are ethical. She said her group has recently stopped taking applications for families who want Vietnamese children — but not because of concerns about corruption. While China remains the most popular overseas country for adoptions, a growing number of Americans are looking to Vietnam, which has fewer restrictions. The wait for adoption approval has also gotten longer in China after authorities there tightened rules. Another adoption agency, Families Thru International Adoption, of Evansville, Ind., said that corruption exists everywhere and it is up to the adoption agencies to screen who they work with in Vietnam and other countries. "Our experience has been a good one," said Susan Cox, vice president of public policy with Holt International Children's Services, based in Eugene, Ore., which has operated in Vietnam since the 1970s. "We are concerned about any unethical practices, but I would not agree that these cases are indicative of adoptions in Vietnam." "There's always somebody that is trying to do something under the table, and when there are children involved, the results are even more horrific," said program director Salome Lamarche. "As an agency, we have a responsibility to be very careful who we work with in a country and to only work with organizations that work in a mor- "We stopped because our waiting list is getting long and we thought it wasn't ethical to accept applications from families when we didn't know if we could match them with children," Lamarche said. The U.S. suspended all adoptions from Vietnam in 2003 over concerns about corruption. Adoptions resumed in 2006 under a bilateral agreement intended to ensure they were above board. That agreement expires Sept. 1, and many adoption agency officials believe the Vietnam program will be suspended again, at least temporarily. "I can't see any possible way that this agreement is going to continue," said Tad Kincaid of Orphans Overseas in Portland, Or. "There's certainly going to be a lapse." The U.S. Embassy report is based on a review of hundreds of adoptions since they resumed in Vietnam in 2006. Already, the U.S. Embassy concerns have left scores of Vietnamese adoptions in limbo, as American families wait for U.S. permission to bring the babies home. 10A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 2008 ROTC Competition brings cadets BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com Weston White/KANSAN Cadet Sgt.

Theater alumni are holding workshops and events in Murphy Hall from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. today. This weekend more than 100 department of theatre and film alumni will descend on Murphy Hall as part of the fifth edition of "Alums Come Home." For some like Sally Shedd, a 1998 graduate, coming back to Lawrence brought back a flood of memories. Shedd said her emotions hit her when she picked out a historic landmark on the horizon while driving to Lawrence. "The moment I could start to see Fraser Hall I started to cry," Shedd said. "I love to come back. I absolutely love it." The theme for the four-day reunion is "Honoring Our Past, Embracing Our Future." The weekend's events include a production of "The Shape of Things" by University Theatre, a play written by KU alumnus and professional playwright Neil LaBute, various workshops and a gala benefit auction and concert featuring singer and songwriter Kelley Hunt. As a student, Shedd said, she participated in previous "Alums Come Home" events to network and learn about the profession from those in the field. Now a professor of theatre at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk, Va., she said it felt different to be back as a one of a "tight-knit alumni group," but that many things about Murphy Hall remained the same, even the distinctive smell. Gerald Koellsted, a 1970 graduate who is now a health inspector in Auburn, Ala., said returning to old stomping grounds was always rewarding. Koellsted said it wasn't the first time he had been back, and that it was nice to see the progress the students are making. “It's always good to return to the haunts of Murphy Hall,” he said. Jack Wright, professor of theatre and film and director of "The Shape of Things," said the event was an invaluable opportunity for students to develop relationships with alumni that could help when they are searching for work after graduation. Wright said that although students were disappointed LaBute was forced to miss "Alums Come Home" because of an unexpected commitment in London, they were still thrilled to perform in front of former students, their peers and the Lawrence community. Although alumni won't be performing this weekend, some can't seem to avoid the lure of being on stage. Kathy Pryor, "Alums Come performance The University Theatre production of Neil LaBute's "The Shape of Things" is at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday in Murphy Hall Tickets are on sale in the University Theatre Ticket Office, 864-3982.

She said there were alumni who graduated as recently as two years ago as well as some returning more than 40 years after graduation.

Language new target in war on terror The Bush administration has launched a new front in the war on terrorism, this time targeting language. And don't call al-Qaida a movement. Federal agencies, including the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counter Terrorism Center, are telling their people not to describe Islamic extremists as "jihadists" or "mujahedeen," according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. Lingo like "Islamo-fascism" is out, too. The reason: Such words may actually boost support for radicals among Arab and Muslim audiences by giving them a veneer of religious credibility or by causing offense to moderates. For example, while Americans may understand "jihad" to mean "holy war," it is in fact a broader Islamic concept of the struggle to do good, says the guidance prepared for diplomats and other officials tasked with explaining the war on terror to the public. Similarly, "mujahedeen," which means those engaged in jihad, must be seen in its broader context. U. S. officials may be "unintentionally portraying terrorists, who lack moral and religious legitimacy, as brave fighters, legitimate soldiers or spokesmen for ordinary Muslims," says a Homeland Security report. It's entitled "Terminology to Define the Terrorists: Recommendations from American Muslims." "Regarding 'jihad,' even if it is accurate to reference the term, it may not be strategic because it glamorizes terrorism, imbues terrorists with religious authority they do not have and damages relations with Muslims around the world," the report says. Language is critical in the war on terror, says another document, an internal "official use only" memorandum circulating through Washington entitled "Words that Work and Words that Don't: A Guide for Counterterrorism Communication." The memo, originally prepared in March by the Extremist Messaging Branch at the National Counter Terrorism Center, was approved for diplomatic use this week by the State Department, which plans to distribute a version to all U.S. embassies, officials said. "It's not what you say but what they hear," the memo says in bold italic lettering, listing 14 points about how to better present the war on terrorism. "Don't take the bait," it says, urging officials not to react when Osama bin Laden or al-Qaida affiliates speak. "We should offer only minimal, if any, response to their messages. When we respond loudly, we raise their prestige in the Muslim world." "Don't compromise our credibility" by using words and phrases that may ascribe benign motives to terrorists. The memo mirrors advice distributed to British and European Union diplomats last year to better explain the war on terrorism to Muslim communities there.

After Kansas' 12-1 season and Orange Bowl Championship, high school stars around the country started noticing Jayhawks. According to Rivals.com's top 250 high school prospects in the country for 2009, 17 players are interested in playing football at the University of Kansas. Talib joins other Hawks as NFL draft prospects Last season, Kansas had eight nationally televised games. For every Jayhawk drafted this weekend, Kansas will get even more airtime. The more exposure Kansas football receives, the greater chance recruits will become interested in the program. Moments after Kansas' 24-21 victory against Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, Aqib Talib, who was named the Most Valuable Player of the game, proclaimed: "I felt like Deion." Now, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound cornerback will get a chance to be just like Deion Sanders. Sanders, a cornerback who played for Florida State was known for his game-breaking plays on defense and special teams. Many projected Talib would be a first round pick in the NFL draft this weekend. If Talib were drafted in the first round, it would end a 15-year drought for the Jayhawks. The last player chosen in the first round was defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield in 1993. Before Stubblefield, Kansas' last player to be drafted in the first round was wide receiver David Verser in 1981. Like Talib, several other Jayhawks will get a chance to live their dream of making it to the NFL this weekend. Most notable are offensive tackle Anthony Collins and wide receiver Marcus Henry. Collins was projected as high as a second round pick, while Henry was projected as a third round pick. What does this mean for Kansas football? In addition to this, Mangino and Co. will have more leverage enticing prospects. Currently there are six former BY BRYAN WHEELER BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM Jayhawks active in the NFL. Archrival Missouri has 10 players in the pros, while in-state foe, Kansas State has 22 players. Should a number of Jayhawks get drafted this year, Kansas' resume will look a lot sweeter for a kid who has been dreaming of going pro since he was five years old. It's quite simple. If you are a recruit coming to Kansas, all you have to do is buy into Mark Mangino's system of hard work and selflessness, and you could get a chance to *shine*. After winning a BCS game and eight coach-of-the-year awards, it is clear that Mangino knows best. Aqib Talib and Anthony Collins were two-star prospects coming out of high school, while Marcus Henry was a one-star. Of the 17 prospects of the 2009 recruiting class interested in Kansas, all are rated at four stars. At schools such as Southern California, Notre Dame, Ohio State or Florida, it is much harder for players to compete for a starting position. Each year, these schools bring in a top-25 recruiting class. Given that Kansas has not had a top recruitring class during Mangino's tenure, the chance to have a breakout collegiate career is much greater for these athletes. SOFTBALL Looking toward the weekend, Jayhawk fans can expect to see a number of players make the first step toward making a name for the University in the NFL. In turn, Mangino can hope to assemble one of the top recruiting classes for 2009. —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina Rivals.com top-250 prospect rankings Jayhawks shut down Shockers in two games

Weston White/KANSAN Junior Dougie McCaulley tries to get away from the Wichita State first baseman during a pickle Thursday evening. McCaulley finished with three hits and two RBI in an u-victory over the Shockers. 14 BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com The Jayhawks swept their second straight series and kept Wichita State scoreless in both games Thursday night. The team opened up with an 8-0 runrule victory. Junior pitcher Valerie George and freshman pitcher Allie Clark combined to throw a one-hitter for the second game in a row. George got the start for the Jayhawks and held a perfect game going into the fifth inning, when she allowed a hit to Wichita State senior shortstop Britnee Barnett. The Jayhawk offense gave George and Clark more than enough run support. Four batters, junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto and center fielder Dougie McCaulley, and senior left fielder Betsy Wilson and first baseman Addy Lucero, had multiple hits in the game. Wilson and Lucero had back-to-back RBI singles in the second inning. Crisosto crushed a home run in the fourth inning, her fifth of the season. Freshman Liz Kocon also had her fifth homerun of the season in the contest. McCaulley sealed the victory with a walk-off triple in the sixth season, only the Jayhawks third triple of the season. McCaulley could have stopped at second but she said she approached that game-winning hit like any other at-bat. "We've been stressing base running has been our game all year," McCauley said. She said her legs were feeling good and she hadn't hit triple all year, so that was extra incentive to extend the hit. The second game was a lot tighter, for a few innings. Sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelka started the game, but came out in the third inning and was replaced by Clark. Crisosto led off the first inning with a walk and advanced to second base on a wild pitch. McCaulley then drove in Crisosto with a single. That was the lone run for the Jayhawks until the fourth inning. Sophomore second baseman Sara Ramirez led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a walk and advance to second on a stolen base. Wichita State then misplayed a couple bunts, which lead to two runs for the Jayhawkes, and Kocon drove in the last run with a sacrifice fly. Coach Tracy Bunge said she was pleased with the way the team moved base runners, especially in the second game. She said the team did well moving runners by the hit-and-run and squeeze bunt. "I think we were really a hundred percent for execution today," Bunge said. Bunge said she was surprised by the lack of offense from the Shockers. "Today, I thought she did a great job of throwing aggressively and attacking hitters." Burge said. of them," Bunge said. She credited the Wichita State struggles to top performances from George and especially Clark. "Offensively, I expected a lot more out The team improved its record to 34-15 on the season and prepare for a two-game series with Oklahoma State at Arrocha ballpark over the weekend. Bunge said even though the Jayhawks got two big wins last night, they would still have to remain aggressive offensively over the weekend. "We're going back into the Big 12, which means a little tougher opponent, a little tougher pitching." Bunge said. Saturday's game will be the "Bark in the Park" promotional day where fans can bring their dogs into the ballpark if they make a donation to the Humane Society. McCaulley was doubtful it the added noise from the extra fans could help the team. "Not if there were as quiet as they were today. We need some more rowdiness in the stands," McGaulley said. Kansas will face off against Oklahoma State at 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday. — Edited Jared Duncan BASEBALL Kansas to play Oklahoma State in three-game series BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com KANSAS Then again, those are just two games. Oklahoma State (29-11, 11-7) also boasts the third-best record in the Big 12 and the No. 13 ranking in the latest Baseball America poll. Add in the Cowboys' 17-2 record at home, and the Jayhawks (25-19, 5-10) have a lot stacked against them to climb out of their eighth-place tie in the conference. If this week served as a measuring stick, Oklahoma State should have the upper hand on Kansas this weekend. Both schools played midweek games against Wichita State with the Jayhawks losing 6-4 to the Shockers Tuesday night and the Cowboys defeating the Shockers 5-3 Wednesday night. Two years ago the two teams combined for a Big 12 record of 14 home runs in one game, which Oklahoma State won 19-7, at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. This time around, the Cowboy offense might be even more potent. Freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters tries to avoid a tag at home on Tuesday night's game against Wichita State. Kansas faces Oklahoma at 6:30 tonight and twice this week more. "We have to pitch very,very well in order to handle that lineup in that ballpark." Kansas coach Ritch Price said. first in the Big 12 in home runs, second in batting average, runs and triples, and third in hits. In four more games, Kansas has 14 fewer home runs, 21 fewer runs, nine fewer triples and 40 fewer hits. The Jayhawks are also hitting 39 points lower than the Cowboys. Kansas faces Oklahoma State at 6:30 tonight, in the first game of a three-game series. First baseman Rebel Ridling leads Oklahoma State with 10 home runs and 40 RBI. Jordy Mercer, who doubles as infielder and closer, is close behind with nine home runs and 40 RBI of his own. Senior left fielder John Allman has been Kansas' offensive stud lately. In his last six games, he's 10-for-24 with seven runs, six RBI and his fourth home run of the season. To tame the Oklahoma State offense, Price will first rely on junior left-hander Nick Czyz (2-4), who played a part in that 14-home run game in 2006. Czyz pitched the final three innings of that game for Kansas, shutting out Oklahoma State the first two innings before giving up a two-run shot in the eighth. Entering this week, Oklahoma State was Jon Goering/KANSAN Czyz fared about as well in his start against the Cowboys last season when he allowed five runs, three earned, in five and one-third innings of a losing effort. Czyz knows its up to him to set the tone for his team this weekend. night and give a good performance and keep my team in the ballgame and maybe single-handedly take over a game, I think that's huge and it'll set us up for the whole weekend." "It all starts with the starting pitching," Czyz said. "If I can go out on Friday Walz is coming off a victory in the third game of the Nebraska series that earned him a spot on the College Baseball Foundation's National All-Star Lineup this past week. Walz struck out five and allowed just three runs in seven and two-third innings against the Cornhuskers. Rejoicing Czyz in the rotation will be senior right-hander Andres Esquibel (3-3) and freshman right-hander TL Walz (3-0). Oklahoma State will send out left-hander Andrew Oliver (3-2) on Friday, left-hander Tyler Lyons (6-2) on Saturday and most likely right-hander Tyler Blandford (3-3) Sunday, despite his 7.08 ERA and oneinning start last week against Texas. Oliver and Lyons threw back-to-back complete games two weekends ago in back-toback victories over No. 8 Nebraska. One thing Kansas has going in its favor is the fact it's had a light workload of late. It only had one midweek game this week after its game with Kansas Wesleyan was rained out Wednesday. This season, Kansas is 3-10 in weekend series after playing at least two midweek games, but the Jayhawks are 10-4 in weekend series after playing fewer than two midweek games. Going back to last weekend, the Jayhawks used a total of three relief pitchers against Nebraska, so - although junior closer Paul Smyth was used all three games - the Kansas staff should be well rested. The Kansas bullpen received a boost on Tuesday when sophomore right-hander Thomas Marcin pitched an inning of scoreless relief. The appearance was only Marcin's 10th of the season, but based on his performance against the Shockers, he appeared to be over his throwing problems that followed him from last season on into this season. "We were really thrilled with Marcin, that he got on the mound in front of 6,900 people and pounded the strike zone," Price said. "We intend to have him come in and take up some of the slack from some of the guys we've lost to injuries."

Police check on chemicals in school science labs. A music festival is postponed. With $3\frac{1}{2}$ months to go, China is ramping up its campaign to tighten security ahead of the Beijing Olympics. Authorities are taking no chances that Beijing's moment in the international spotlight will be marred by protests or attacks. The pro-Tibet demonstrations that are dogging the Olympic torch on its world Beijing's Public Security Bureau kicked offan "Olympic security" campaign this month that will run through October, saying "some tour have only served to heighten the government's worries. A municipal officer, top center, directs the demolition of a row of shops attached to an apartment block Thursday in Beijing. The shops, which were operating normally an hour earlier, were demolished with the help of dozens of security guarders and workers. City authorities are removing temporary and illegal buildings, and demolishing older apartments to make way for new complexes in the building to the Olympic Games. random ID checks to visa restrictions that severely limit who can visit, live or work in China.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Twice in recent months, the government has accused Muslim separatists in the Xinjiang region of terror plots tied to the Olympics. Activist groups critical of China's human rights abuses and its rule over Tibet have pledged to try to disrupt the games. "They certainly have reason to be worried," said David Zweig, director of the Center on China's Transnational Relations at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. "Given the failure to be prepared for what happened in Tibet, one should not be surprised by overreaction." Broader measures range from The Beijing campaign includes increased security checks at hotels, entertainment areas and rented homes, the security bureau's Web site said. Officials will also seek to control access to explosives and firearms, ensure the safety of gas and oil pipelines and crack down on crime. been told some 250 chemicals are restricted for purchase between May 1 and Oct.17,said a senior official at a school in Beijing. Police recently inspected the school's boilers and demanded details on how chemicals are stored in science labs, the official said, requesting anonymity to avoid any official repercussions. Staff at another school, the International School of Beijing, have been advised to carry identification documents and to be prepared for random breathalyzer tests on the street, communications director Lance Witte said. For many foreigners, the biggest concern has been a tightening of visa requirements.In a country where control has long been paramount, China faces unprecedented challenges when an estimated half million visitors come to Beijing for the Olympics, along with 10,500 international athletes and 18,000 journalists. "We have a weekly update on safety and security now because there's always something new," he said. Travel agents in Hong Kong, a major gateway into China, reported early this month that the government visa office had declared multiple-entry business visas would not be available from mid-April until mid-October. In the past, such visas were easily obtainable. More rules came last week, including requirements for additional documentation for business visas and for hotel bookings and plane tickets for tourist visas. Beijing residents are buzzing with complaints and tips on circumventing the rules.

"If they are afraid of troublemakers in whatever sense, they know how to stop them. This seems like a universal punish- June and July," he said. If the difficulties aren't resolved fairly quickly, he expects businesses "will consider placing orders somewhere else, like Vietnam." Adding to the confusion has been China's continued insistence that no changes have been made to its visa policy. "We will continue to facilitate foreigners who want to come to China. This policy is consistent and has remained unchanged." Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Thursday. Both the American and European chambers of commerce in Hong Kong sent urgent letters to the Chinese government last week, citing several cases of visa denials and raising concerns over the impact on businesses. The visa changes have also created uncertainty for many foreigners who are working in China on business visas, a common though technically prohibited practice. A work visa, which is more difficult to acquire, is needed for employment. An expatriate magazine editor says up to 70 percent of the foreigners on his staff could be gone by July. "Huge numbers of people could be in trouble — people working in music, arts, the theater, journalism, industries that hugely benefit the city and country," he said, requesting not to be quoted by name for fear of government reprisals. CRIME patriots assistant receives court date in spying case NEW YORK— Matt Walsh will get his day with the commissioner. What he has to offer is anyone's guess. The former Patriots assistant will meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on May 13 about New England's videotaping of opposing teams. It took a couple of months, but the league reached an agreement with Walsh on Wednesday. "Commissioner Goodell will meet with Mr. Walsh ... on May 13, the earliest date that Mr. Walsh, who lives in Hawaii, will be available on the East Coast," the NFL statement said. "The agreement also requires Mr. Walsh to return any tapes and other items in his possession that belong to the Patriots. In return, the NFL and the Patriots have promised not to sue Mr. Walsh. They also will indemnify him for any expenses, including legal fees that he incurs in connection with the interview" During Super Bowl week, and nearly five months after the Patriots were sanctioned for illegal taping of the New York Jets in the season opener there were reports of possible other videotaping by the Patriots. Those reports centered on Walsh, who shot videos for the Patriots during his six-year stint with the organization. TENNIS Federer to advance to third round of Masters MONTE CARLO, Monaco — Roger Federer rallied from 5-1 down in the third set to defeat Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo 6-1, 3-6, 7-6(1) in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters.

CANBERRA, Australia — Runners bearing the Olympic torch completed a 10-mile relay through the Australian capital, cheered by thousands waving Chinese flags and unimpeded by pockets of pro-Tibet protests that led to several arrests. Crowds lined downtown streets for the Canberra relay as police manned crowd-control barriers, making good on a vow that nothing would stop the torch from finishing its journey. The event began without major incident as a half-dozen officers — in jogging pants, T-shirts and baseball caps — formed a loose cordon around the runner. Overhead, an airplane sky writer wrote the words "Free Tibet." Associated Press 4 --- THE UNIVERSITY MARY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 2008 SPORTS FOOTBALL 3B Breaking down Jayhawk NFL Draft prospects Anthony Collins Offensive tackle 6-foot-5 317 pounds Pros: Collins has the size and athleticism to succeed at the next level, traits he frequently displayed while dominating most of his op-* Collins ponents. Despite a late-season leg injury, Collins earned AP first team All-America honors and was named a finalist for the Outland Trophy, given to the nation's best lineman. Cons: Collins, who left Kansas after his junior year, only has one season of collegiate experience at left tackle. He also had a late start on football because he focused on basketball early in his high school career. He learned quickly in his time at Kansas, but his background could scare some teams away. Projection: Second round Collins may not be a firstround because of the depth of the offensive tackle class. Even though he isn't one of the five best tackle prospects,he shouldn't fall out of the third round. Derek Fine Tight end 6-foot-3 245 pounds Pros: Fine could fit into some NFL teams' systems as an H-back, a combination position between a tight end and fullback. 106 Fine Fine was a very consistent blocker and leader during his time at Kansas, and tested well at the combine by performing 24 bench press reps. He started for three seasons at Kansas. Cons: Fine isn't as fast or athletic as most high-level tight ends. His 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was an underwhelming 4.85 seconds. Though he caught 44 passes last season, he dropped quite a few catchable bails. Projection: Seventh round. How early Fine is drafted could depend on which teams are willing to use a draft pick on a player that might not see the field much outside of special teams during his first few seasons. Fine should be selected late in the draft, but could fall into the free agent pool. Marcus Henry Wide receiver 6-foot-4 207 pounds Pros: Henry developed a play-receiver during his senior N Henry impress many with his 4.55-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, and his 207-pound frame might not hold up as well in the pros as it did against weaker collegiate competition. He stuck out as an inconsistent route-runner during his first three years at Kansas. per reception, including 16 catches for 20 yards or more. At 6-foot-4, he towered over most of the cornerbacks who lined up across from him, and used his leaping ability to reel in spectacular catches. Projection: Seventh round. Henry probably doesn't project as an every-down wide receiver in the NFL, but he could be valuable on special teams or as a reserve receiver. He could slip out of the draft, but chances are a team will take a chance, given his 6-foot-4 body. Cons: Henry did not Projection: Seventh round. A new wrinkle to Jones' case is his involvement in helping track down the alleged shooter in a February 2007 triple shooting at a Las Vegas strip club. Running back 5-foot-11 238 pounds Brandon McAnderson Pros: McAnderson was ultra-productive during his one season as a starter at nearly six yards per carry as the Jayhawks'featured back last season.The reason for his great success wasn't overwhelming athleticism: McAnderson is a smart runner who finds holes and uses blocks to his advantage. "We've encouraged him to cooperate with authorities," Goodell said. BRENDAN HOWELL Cons: McAnderson's 4.68-second 40-yard dash reinforces the fact that he isn't going to be a tailback in the NFL. He will move to fullback at the next level, a position that better suits his husky physique. Unfortunately, McAnderson didn't get much practice playing fullback in Kansas' one-back offense, raising questions about his experience. McAnderson Cons: McAnderson's sas. He scored 16 rushing touchdowns and Goodell's stance on reinstatement remains that everything is riding on a meeting he plans to have with Jones before training camp, probably in June. James McClinton averaged Projection: Undrafted free agent. McAnderson should get a shot to play in the NFL, but it probably won't come through this weekend's draft. His inconvenient proportions make him a tailback stuck in a fullback's body. Defensive tackle 6-foot 289 pounds Jerry Jones is putting out a small investment in hopes of a big return, giving up no more than a fourth-rouder this weekend and a sixth-rounder in 2009 to acquire a young player capable of solving the team's problems at cornerback and kick Pros: When healthy. Mc Clinton was the best player Projection: Undrafted He also said he didn't know if he would allow Jones to work out with his new team, as he let Tank Johnson do last season after Johnson signed with Dallas while suspended. The commissioner did not let Jones work out with the Titans last summer. He also was barred from working on their property in February. Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said team owner Jerry Jones likely will discuss the trade once it's done. However, he doesn't expect Pacman Jones to comment any time soon. Capable is the key word because Pacman first has to get reinstalled by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Should that happen, hed have to stay out of trouble, which hasn't been easy. on the Kansas defense last season. He ran ef- fortlessly through double- teams with his blazing first step and notched 11 tackles-for-loss as a senior. Though he battled an injury late in the season, he stayed on the field and helped lead the Jayhawks to an Orange Bowl title. McClinton Cons: McClinton is undersized, and his late-season leg injury hindered his play in nationally televised games. He tested extremely poorly at the NFL Combine, running a 5.47-second 40-yard dash. Along with his leg injury, McClinton has suffered two seizures in the past year, which could raise a red flag. Projection: Undrafted free agent. His dominance at Kansas could help him land a tryout as a free agent, but his poor performance at the NFL Combine could keep him out of the draft. Aqib Talib Cornerback 6-foot-1 202 pounds Pros: Talib built a vast collection of highlight-worthy plays during his three seasons on the field at Kansas. He used his incredible athleticism to snare 13 李林 Talib Goodell said Thursday the deal would have no bearing on his pending decision. career interceptions and displayed his versatility by scoring five touchdowns on offense. Talib is fast (4.44- second 40-yard dash), big (202 pounds) and proven (consensus All-American). Coirs: The comeback developed a reputation as a risk-taker, which sometimes worked against him. Talib was burned several times during his career after biting on fakes or taking a chance at an interception. Also, several teams expressed concern about the fact that Talib failed three drug tests while at Kansas. Projection: First round. Draft experts have Talib coming off of the board anywhere from No. 10 to the early second round. It all depends on what each team needs near the top of the draft, but a talent such as Talib would be a tough player to pass up late in the first round. "So until that situation is finalized, we will not comment on it. However, as soon as it is finalized, we will have some type of get-together to address the situation in detail." >> NFL Jones has been arrested six times and has been involved in 12 incidents requiring police action since being the top defensive player taken in the 2005 draft. The accumulation led Goodell to suspend Jones for the 2007 season. Cons: The cornerback 'Pacman' trade to proceed slowly If Goodell doesn't let Pacman return in 2008, the Cowboys would get back an 2009 pick. They're also expected to be giving him a nonguaranteed contract, making it easier to distance themselves from him, if necessary. BY JAIME ARON Associated Press IRVING, Texas -- Considering all the baggage Adam "Pacman" Jones carries, maybe it should be no surprise that his move to the Dallas Cowboys is going slowly — and carefully. returner. The Tennessee Titans agreed Wednesday to a deal sending the rights to the suspended cornerback to the Cowboys. But there are so many loose ends that need to be tied down that the trade was not finalized Thursday. "We're still in the process of finalizing the trade papers, the contracts, so it's a very complicated process with Dallas, the NFL, the player, ourselves." Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said Thursday. It might not happen today, either. Yet it seems likely to be settled by early afternoon Saturday, in time for the start of the NFL Draft. After all, the 'Titans are supposed to get Dallas' fourth-round pick.

Parnevik finished the day at two under par. BY STEPHEN HAWKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS IRVING, Texas — Jesper Parnevik has been so inconsistent that he's willing to take advice from a golfing buddy he refers to as a "complete hack monster." ASSOCIATED PRESS Something worked Thursday, with Parnevik overcoming gusty wind and a redesigned course to shoot a 2-under 68 in the first round of the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. That left him only one shot behind Ryan Moore, Mathew Goggin and Eric Axley, whose 67s made them the highest-scoring first-round leaders at the Nelson since 1984. So what was that tip Parnevik received during a phone call Wednesday night from his friend in Colorado? "It was really a stupid thing," Parnevik said. "It was the way he had his left big toe at impact. ... It should be kind of pointed a little bit upwards." Parnevik was in a group of eight players at 68 that included 10th-ranked Adam Scott, the only player from the top 10 in the world ranking in the field. Kevin Sutherland, Briny Baird, Shaun Micheel, Ian Poulter and Dustin Johnson and Parker McLachlin also shot 68s. Only 24 of the 156 players in the field broke par. Masters champion Trevor Immelman, playing for the first time since winning the green jacket, finished with a 78, better than only three other players. Axley, who overcame an early bogey with four consecutive birdies from Nos. 4-7, was in the lead alone until he bogeyed the 429-yard 18th hole. He missed the final fairway and hit his approach into a green-side bunker — the only bunker he found all day. Goggin, in the same group with Parnevik, got to 3 under with three consecutive birdies on their back nine. He sank putts of 15-20 feet on Nos. 5 and 6 before hitting his second shot at the 542-yard seventh hole to the fringe and chipping to 2 feet. Moore had seven birdies and four bogeys in only his third tournament in 10 weeks. That included a six-hole stretch on the back nine when he had either a birdie or bogey on each. "It was just one of those days that you knew it was going to be a battle the whole time you were out there," said Moore, who has taken extra time off the last 2½ months to cure a sore shoulder. "I'll take a 67 on any course any day. This is definitely one of my better rounds of the year, for sure, in these conditions." The unusual high opening scores at the Nelson had more to do with the weather — windy conditions with gusts of more than 30 mph and wet fairways after about an inch of rain overnight — than the redesign of the TPC Four Seasons course since last year. "It's hard to make a real fair comparison right now, with the soft fairways and the wind blowing 20 mph," said Harrison Frazar, a player from Dallas who was a consultant during the $10 million renovation. "I don't think we need to jump to any conclusions too early." Frazar shot 73, a shot better than J.J. Henry, the Fort Worth resident who was the other player consultant on the project. Soon after last year's tournament, when deteriorating greens were bumpy and sometimes brown, work began to make changes on every hole, with new tee boxes and more undulating greens, and to relocate 165 trees. With the redone TPC, this is the first time since 1993 that the Nelson has been played on only one course. Cottonwood Valley across the street also was used during first- and second-round play from 1994 until Parnevik last won on the PGA Tour in 2001 and hasn't finished better than 24th this season, missing four of 10 cuts. last year. COLLEGE BASKETBALL Two Missouri players eligible for NBA Draft ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — Two starters for the Missouri basketball team have declared themselves eligible for the June 26 NBA draft, though neither will hire an agent and could return to school next year. The university announced Thursd ay that DeMarre Carroll and 16-16 season. "Like anyone, I want to see how I stack up," Carroll said. "I want to see where I can improve my game and how I can become the best "Playing in the NBA has always been a dream of mine." LEO LYONS Missouri junior forward Leo Lyons had entered their names in the draft pool. As long as they maintain their academic standing at the university and withdraw their names by June 16, both are eligible to return if not satisfied with their draft prospects. "Playing in the NBA has always been a dream of mine," Lyons said. Carroll and Lyons both finished their junior This is a great opportunity to gather information about my professional future and improve my game as a whole." Lyons was in and out of the starting lineup most of the season. He led the Big 12 with a 58.3 field goal percentage and the Tigers with 13.1 points, playing his best ball at the end of the season.

Dream for Darfur said 16 companies, including General Electric Co., Coca-Cola Co. and Microsoft Corp., have exhibited "moral cowardice." With actress Mia Farrow as its spokeswoman, Dream for Darfur is the most prominent activist group lobbying companies to put pressure on Beijing, a major investor in Sudan. "The majority of the 2008 Olympic corporate sponsors in this report have distinguished themselves for moral cowardice in the hopes of safe profitability," the report said. "This is our second report card grading the companies' responsibility on humanity and on the ability to think outside the box on profitability, and to open minds to social responsibility," Farrow said during a phone conference Thursday. Dream for Darfur said it also would protest at the companies' headquarters and urge viewers to turn off commercials during the Games in August.

The United Nations estimates more crackdown there that has drawn attention to Beijing's human rights record.

Darfur is an awkward issue for sponsors that have paid tens of millions to associate themselves with the Beijing Games in hopes of boosting their profile, and sales, in China. Report released by the organization Dream for Darfur Companies have expressed concern about Darfur and emphasized "The majority of the 2008 Olympic corporate sponsorship in this report have distinguished themselves for moral cowardice in the hope of safe profitability." MIA FARROW Actress their charitable donations in the region. Some say they have talked privately to Chinese officials. They say they should avoid politics, a stance echoed by the communist government. In a 100-page report, the group said Eastman Kodak Co., Adidas AG and McDonald's Corp. have GE and Coca-Cola received a taken adequate action and would not be targeted. Beijing has retaliated in the past to pressure by canceling contracts or restricting market access. The 19 companies graded by Dream for Darfur include top sponsors of the Beijing Olympics and the International Olympic Committee and key suppliers to the Summer Games. Eastman Kodak and Adidas AG received a "B-plus" because they wrote to the United Nations about Darfur, the group said. It said McDonald's got a "C-plus" for a private action. Deirdre Latour, spokeswoman for GE, said the company commends Dream for Darfur for raising awareness for the situation, but "disagrees "D," though the group said they showed "significant concern" about the issue. "We also strongly disagree with the assertions made in the report card," she said. with the organization's approach and use of the Olympic Games as a political platform." . "GE is taking an active role in easing the suffering of refugees, including making humanitarian medical equipment available in the region," Latour said. "The GE Foundation has made $4 million in humanitarian aid grants to CARE, UNICEF and International Medical Corps to aid with food, shelter and medical treatment for thousands of refugees in regional camps." Johnson & Johnson, Chinese computer maker Lenovo Corp. Microsoft, Samsung Electronics Co. and Visa Inc. received a "D-minus". Nine received an "F" for "poor response or none at all," the group said. They include Staples, Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., Australian mining giant BHP Billiton Ltd., Volkswagen AG and UPS Inc. A Volkswagen spokesman said the company did not "see it as our duty" to act on Dream for Darfur's requests. "We are supporting the Olympic idea and do not see it as a requirement to solve these political problems," said VW spokesman Andreas Meurer. 答 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 2008 5B Conceptis SudoKu 3 2 7 1 6 7 2 9 2 8 6 3 8 2 5 8 4 5 2 9 8 3 4/25 Answer to previous puzzle Difficulty Level ★★★★ 9 6 7 8 5 2 1 4 3 3 8 1 7 9 4 2 5 6 5 4 2 1 3 6 7 9 8 8 3 4 2 6 9 5 7 1 2 9 5 3 1 7 8 6 4 1 7 6 4 8 5 3 2 9 6 5 3 9 7 1 4 8 2 4 1 9 5 2 8 6 3 7 7 2 8 6 4 3 9 1 5 Difficulty Level ★★★ 4/24 Charlie Hoogner CHICKEN STRIP Just to let you guys know, if you are happy with your grade and won't be taking the final, you don't need to be in class anymore.

Max Rinkel CRIME Snipes sentenced to prison Actor owed $2.7 million in taxes, receives maximum penalty THE DEADLY KILLING OF BENJAMIN JIMMY HUGHES AT THE MEMORIAL CENTER IN NEW YORK. BENJAMIN JIMMY HUGHES, WHO IS A SUPERIOR POLITICAL MASTER, WAS IN EXECUTIVE CONTROL OF THE NEW YORK GOVERNMENT FROM 1976 TO 2014. HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AS A RESULT OF THE TERRORIST STREAK. BY TRAVIS REED ASSOCIATED PRESS OCALA, Fla. — Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison on tax charges Thursday, a victory for prosecutors who sought to make an example of the action star by aggressively pursuing the maximum penalty. ASSOCIATED PRESS Wesley Sipes, right, enters federal court with his attorneys, where he is to be sentenced for willful failure to file a tax return at the U.S. Federal Courthouse Thursday in Ocala, Fl.,. Snipes' lawyers had spent much of the day in court offering dozens of letters from family members, friends — even fellow actors Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington — attesting to the good character of the "Blade" star and asking for leniency. They argued he should get only probation because his three convictions were all misdemeanors and the actor had no previous criminal record. But U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges said Snipes exhibited a "history of contempt over a period of time" for U.S. tax laws, and granted prosecutors the three year sentence they requested -- one year for each of Snipes' convictions of willfully failing to file a tax return. "In my mind these are serious crimes, albeit misdemeanors," Hodges said. Snipes apologized while reading from a written statement for his "costly mistakes," but never mentioned the word taxes. "I am an idealistic, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritually motivated artist, unschooled in the science of law and finance" Snipes said. Snipe said his wealth and celebrity attracted "wolves and jackals like flies are attracted to meat." He called himself "well-intentioned but miseducated." Snipes was the highest-profile criminal tax target in years, and prosecutors called for a heavy sentence to deter others from trying to obstruct the IRS. The government alleged Snipes made at least $13.8 million for the years in question and owed $2.7 million in back taxes. Snipes remains free and will be notified when they are to surrender to authorities. Snipes was acquitted in February of five additional charges, including felony tax fraud and conspiracy. Criminal tax prosecutions are relatively rare — usually the cases are handled in civil court, where the government has a lower burden of proof. Prosecutors said Snipe's case was important to send a message to would-be tax protesters not to test the government. DUNN BROS COFFEE WE KNOW BEANS 2 IT'S OUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY! 2 days only!

The women's golf team will be heading to Stillwater, OH'a., for the Big 12 tournament this weekend. The team will come on a Par 72 golf course. Big 12 tournament may set schedule for rest of season BY JOSH BOWE jbowe@kansan.com After a spring season that contained many ups and downs, the Jayhawk women's golf team is ready to play well in hopefully not their last tournament of the season, at the Big 12 tournament in Stillwater, Okla., at the Karsten Creek Golf Course. Coach Erin O'Neil said the Par 72 golf course would be the most challenging course the Jayhawks played all year. "We can't get ahead of ourselves," O'Neil said. "This is one of the best courses in the country." The Jayhawks are hoping their middle of the season swoon will be completely behind them entering this weekend. "We dug ourselves into a hole," senior Annie Giangrosso said regarding the team's performance during the middle part of the season. "But there is that pressure to play well, but we are well aware of it." This is one of the youngest teams in years, but Gianrosso said she didn't think that translated into lower talent. She, in fact, said she thought the opposite. "I have never been a part of a team so young and talented," she said. "It's impressive. They are mature and skilled beyond their years." It's that skill that will hopefully propel the Jayhawks into an impressive finish, with the NCAA tournament selection process shortly following the tournament. The process is similar to the men's and women's tournaments with three regions of 21 teams each, for 63 total. A selection committee determines which teams are allowed to play on by comparing each team whole year including head to head matches and stroke average. In "May Madness" in some sorts. But with Big 12 teams such as Oklahoma State, Texas and Texa A&M, the course alone won't be the only challenge. "There are some top teams that come from the Big 12," Giangrosd said. "But we just need to go there and have fun." O'Neil said being ranked in the Top 50 could give a team little breathing room, but with the Jayhawks currently outside of the cut, they would have to prove the worth on the golf course. "We've treated every touring the same," O'Neil said. "So that we won't have any added pressure." Giangrosso hopes to make it to her first regional tournament, but understands the work she has put into the program and the enjoyment she has received from it. the conference, it made it easier for recruiting, but Giangroso said she loved what O'Neil did to bribe in top young talent like freshman Grace Thiry and sophomore Emily Powers. "It would be great, but tis has always been our main goal to start each season," Giangrosso said. Just work hard, out with the level of competition it gets to get tougher and tougher to make it to regions." "There are a ton of unsigned international recruits, and that's what coach does." Gian grosso said. "If she can keep bringing in recruits internationally this program will be fine." For those schools the top "The key for any team on this course is how you putt, these are the fastest greens we've played on," Giangrosso said. A team that would know this especially would be Oklahoma State, who has a huge advantage as this course was built for them to play on, but along with Powers Giangrosso understands what can happen when this team is firing on all cylinders. As for what the team needs to accomplish to be successful this weekend, besides being cool and composed as O'Neil stated, is to work on the short game. "If everyone plays up to their abilities there is no reason we can't be in 'the top three or four', Giangrosso said. "We just need to put in three good rounds." —Edited by Samuel Lamb 》 MEN'S GOLF Team ready for Big 12 match BY BRYAN WHFELER bwheeler@kansan.com The men's golf team will compete for the Big 12 Championship today in Trinity, Texas. The 72-hole tournament will take place at Whispering Pines Golf Club (par72, 7,249 yards) and lasts through Sunday. After a 10th place finish in last year's event, the Jayhawks hope to finish the spring season strong. "It will be a good test for us on a pretty hard golf course," said conch Kit Grove in a press release on Wednesday. "The weather should be pretty good all weekend, but the course has been lengthened since the last time we have seen it." "We are looking for a good finish in the top half of the standings. freshman Brad Hopfinger said. Hopfinger has led the team this year with a scoring average of 72.93. Joined by freshman Nate Barbee, the duo has combined Hopfinger for six top-20 finishes this year Also competing for the lajahws are juniors Walt Koelbel and Zach Pederson, and sophomore Patrick Roth.

Jessica Wicks 》WASHINGTON Bush'a little wistful'during annual dinner ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Bush poked fun at his potential successors Saturday night, expressing surprise that none of them were in the audience at the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner. Bush then referred to scandals that have dogged the campaigns of the two remaining Democratic candidates, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, in explaining their absence: "Hillary Clinton couldn't get in because of sniper fire and Senator Obama's at church." "Senator McCain's not here," Bush said of GOP nominee-inwaiting John McCain. "He probably wanted to distance himself from me a little bit. You know, he's not alone. Jenna's moving out too." During the ongoing campaign, Clinton mistakenly claimed to have landed under sniper fire in Bosnia as first lady. Obama's longtime Chicago pastor has been criticized for his negative comments about America. The president admitted to being "a little wistful" in his final appearance at the dinner, showing video clips of his routines from previous years. He finished by conducting the U.S. Marine Band in a medley of patriotic marches. Bush was followed by Craig Ferguson, the host of CBS "Late Late Show." The Scottish-born Ferguson found middle ground between the tepid impersonations of last year's entertainer, Rich Little, and the merciless satire that Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert delivered in 2006. Ferguson, who became a U.S. citizen in February, asked Bush what he was going to do after leaving office, then suggested, "You could look for a job with more vacation time." The president has drawn criticism for the amount of time he has spent away from the White House during his presidency. Vice President Dick Cheney, Ferguson said, "is already moving out of his residence. It takes longer than you think to pack up an entire dungeon." The guest list for the dinner included plenty of VIPs from outside the Beltway: Actors Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, John Cusack, Pamela Anderson and Claire Danes, singers Ashlee Simpson and the Jonas Brothers and author Salman Rushdie were among the invitees. Washington's power elite was still well represented, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in attendance.

CAMPUS McCollum Hall resident reportedly overdoses A female resident of McCollum Hall reportedly overdosed on ecstasy early Sunday morning. An ambulance evacuated the student, a Lee Summit, Mo., freshman, from McCollum Hall and took her to Lawrence Memorial Hospital at about 2:15 a.m. The KU Public Safety Office reported shortly after that the woman was in stable condition. At 2 a.m., an unknown caller reported the medical emergency to the Public Safety Office. Two Public Safety Officers and an ambulance were dispatched to the scene. When the ambulance arrived, the woman voluntarily accepted medical care. The resident told the officers she did not know what kind of pills she had taken or where the rest of the pills were. The unknown caller was the person who indicated that the woman had taken ecstasy. She also refused to tell the officers whom she received the pills from. She said that information was not relevant, even though the officers told her they were not interested in making any arrests. —Francesca Chambers contact us Tell us your news Contact Darla Slipke, Matt Erickson, Dianne Smith, Sarah Neff or Erin Som- mer at 864-4810 or editor@kansan.com.

THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 28, 2008 NEWS CAMPUS 3A Talent show serves as means to convey 'Genius of Women' BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com CONTRIBUTED PHOTO JINGYUAN XIAO Jasmine Pasimio performing a song she wrote herself called "Not Afraid." Pasimio came to the university as a tombow, but discovered it was OK to be a woman. Students recognized a female beauty not found in magazines at the 'Genius of Women' talent show on Friday and Saturday nights in the Kansas Union. Robert Rebori, Shawnee Mission freshman, said he hoped the show would help students look beyond social and physical messages to see the innate and universal beauty of women. "Sometimes, at universities, the brilliance of what it means to be a woman is forgotten." Rebori said. Women offered various performances to display this brilliance, and men displayed talents to show appreciation for the women in their lives. A Pope John Paul II encyclical inspired the message, but the show was meant for people of all beliefs. The message was simply that women are universally awesome, but with a real sense of awe. Maria Thorson, a graduate student on the production team, said that some feminist perspectives today could often degrade women. "We offer a way for people of all belief backgrounds to engage in a discussion about and live to the same expectations of men. She said that as a result, she became a tomboy. It was not until she came to the University of Kansas that she realized it was okay just to be a woman. "I am, as a woman, outside of what society seems to demand of women," Pasimio said. "Sometimes, at universities, the brilliance of what it means to be a woman is forgotten." ROBERT REBORI Shawnee Mission freshman what it really means to be a woman in this culture," Therson said. Jasmine Pasimio, KU alumna, performed two songs on her guitar, one of which she wrote herself. Pasimio said that as a young woman, she felt like society expected her to be strong, have a career Pasimi o said that the song she performed, "When You Believe" by Stephen Schwartz, really struck a chord when she looked at the words, because it showed a rare form of femininity. She said that all women are in some way called to be mothers. Not all women should have a child, she said, but all women had an innate need to nurture. "Never be afraid of being a woman," Pasimio said. "And for men, never be afraid to accept a woman as she is." Scott Rettedal performed a song he wrote for his mother when he left home called "Carry You," then a song for all women called "Flesh of My Flesh." "This is what Adam said when he first met Eve," Rettadal said "And men have been singing about her ever since." The show not only showcased the love of women by men, but many different types of love among women. Jelayna DaSilva, St. Catharines, Ontario, senior, performed a tribute that she made for her grandmother's funeral. The performance shared memories of her grandmother's visits and ended at her deathbed. Then DaSilva started singing the song her grandmother always sang to her: "The Way You Look Tonight." "This show kind of chose me," DaSilva said. "The audition flyer caught my eye because of the words 'Genius of Women.' That is how I remembered my grandmother." Edited by Daniel Reyes INTERNATIONAL 1970 Militants kill 3 in attack on Afghan president; Taliban claims responsibility Relatives carry the body of Nasir Ahmad Lateef, a local Shiite leader, who was killed in a attack against the Afghan President Hamid Karzal during a ceremony marking the 16th anniversary against the defeat of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in Kabul, Afghanistan Sunday. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY AMIR SHAH ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan Militants firing rockets and automatic rifles attacked the Afghan president at a ceremony in Kabul on Sunday, missing their target but killing three and wounding eight others. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault that sent President Hamid Karzai and foreign ambassadors scurrying for cover, underscoring the fragile grip of his U.S.-backed government. Gunmen opened fire as a 21-gun salute echoed over the capital at an anniversary ceremony to mark the mujahedeen victory over the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Hundreds of people, including army and police that had formed an honor guard inspected by Karzai minutes earlier, fled in chaos as shots rang out. The president was hustled away, surrounded by bodyguards, and left in a convoy of four black SUVs. The gunfire apparently came from a three-story guesthouse, popular with migrant laborers, about 300 yards from the stands where Karzai was seated alongside Cabinet ministers and senior diplomats,'who all escaped unharmed. A U.S. Embassy official confirmed U.S. Ambassador William Wood was also not hurt. A lawmaker who was about 30 yards from the president was killed in the attack. Residents reported that a 30-minute gunbattle broke out between security forces and gunmen holed up in the guesthouse, located in a neighborhood of ruined mud brick buildings. Defense Minister Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak said three attackers were killed by security forces, and assault rifles and machine guns were confiscated. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujjaheed said six militants were deployed to target the president, and three of those militants died in the attack. He said they were armed with guns, rockets and suicide vests although no suicide bombings were reported. The initial moments of the attack, which came as a marching band played the finale of the national anthem, were broadcast live until TV transmissions were cut. Hundreds of dignitaries could be seen diving for cover. Two law-makers were hit by the gunfire. One of the men slumped back in his seat, while the other lay on the ground. Less than two hours later, Karzai appeared on state-run TV and said "everything is OK." Appearing calm, Karzai said "the enemy of Afghanistan" tried to disrupt the ceremony but was thwarted by security forces. He said several suspects were arrested and smiled as he signed off his brief recorded statement. About 100 people were rounded up for questioning, an Afghan intelligence official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to media. Associated Press reporters saw a half dozen people, who appeared to be migrant laborers from northern Afghanistan, sitting in the back of a police van outside the guesthouse, which was pocked with bullet holes. Windows were smashed, and police barred the reporters from entering. The militant attack, the first in the capital since mid-March, came despite unprecedented tight security for Sunday's celebrations. In January, three Taliban suicide attackers hit Kabul's upscale Serena Hotel, killing eight people, including an American. For days Kabul was ringed by checkpoints with security forces and plainclothes intelligence officials searching vehicles. The area where the ceremonies took place had been blocked by troops, tanks and armored personnel carriers, and was closed to the general public. funded by: THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS April 28, 2008 SENATE ATTENTION STUDENTS!!!!

Thomas gently lays the ball off the glass and gives Colorado an 84-78 lead. An NBA scout sits courtside, scribbling notes. But 'tweeners' can find a niche in the NBDL, the league Thomas called home for most of this season. As the de facto minor league for the NBA, the NBDL, or D-League, is home to former college stars, NBA busts and many more players who still dream of NBA success. Life in the D-League is a life of inexpensive motels, charter vans and little money. Thomas wasn't considered an NBA prospect when he left Kansas in 1998. Too small to play shoot-guard and not skilled enough to play point guard, Thomas was the definition of what NBA scouts called a 'twener'. KANSAS 11 According to Thomas, a C-level contract in the D-League pays about $13,000, while a few players might make closer to $25,000. Aaron Miles, former Kansas guard, dishes the ball back out after driving the lane in a game against Texas Tech during his senior year at Kansas.

"I prayed all that week, and I came to the conclusion that maybe it wasn't "More so than ever,guys think they can go to the next level.It's crazy. They put all their hopes and dreams into one impossible goal." "I have a greater understanding for the business now," Thomas said. And the business of professional basketball can be bitter. Thomas has spent entire seasons living out of hotels. He's had to deal with financial headaches and lean on loved ones when times got tough. There are few million-dollar contracts in European basketball and none in American minor-league basketball. "Not a lot of people can live off $13,000," Thomas said. Sometimes, between seasons, Thomas would worry about when that next paycheck was coming. Three weeks later, Thomas was released again. His second 10-day contract had run out, and Thomas headed back to the D-League back to the life of economy motels and commercial flights, away from the five-star luxury of the NBA. "They told me I did everything right," Thomas said. It wasn't enough. The Cavaliers needed a big guv. Cavaliers needed Thomas to help fill out their roster after a midseason trade. The Cavaliers signed Thomas to a 10-day contract on Feb. 22. That night, he was on the court, playing alongside LeBron James, scoring nine points on 3-of-11 shooting from three-point range, as the Cavs defeated the Washington Wizards 90-89. "Those thoughts are always in in the cards to make the NBA" Thomas said. "I relished that moment," Thomas said. But as he sat on a flight to the CBA all-star game, at peace with himself, a call came in. The New Jersey Nets wanted Billy Thomas. Thomas played 25 games for the Nets in 2005, before being released. The next season he had a 17-game stint with the Washington Wizards. This season, Thomas has played briefly for both the New Jersey Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers.

The memories came flooding back. Memories of a lifetime dedicated to basketball, of 19 years in foreign cities and foreign leagues. Barry left Kansas in 1989, a young kid with sandy blond hair. Little did he know,hed still be playing basketball 19 years later. He couldn't predict the struggles, sacrifice and joy brought on by nearly two decades of basketball. ajasol 13 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Aaron Miles plays for Cajasol Baloncesto Sevilla in Spain's top league, ACB, this season. "The people here are nice," Miles said of his new home in Seville, Spain. "The weather is beautiful." As a reserve guard on "Danny and the Miracles," he won an NCAA title under Larry Brown in 1988 and played on Roy Williams' first Kansas team his senior season. He wasn't just Scooter Barry, Kansas basketball player, he was always the son of NBA Hall-of-Famer Rick Barry, practically basketball royalty. He was just a self-described "6-foot-2, thin, white kid from Danville, California," and basketball was his life. "Being Rick Barry's oldest son. I had all the pressure of trying to compete and follow in his shadow," Barry said. As expected after Barry's senior season, he was not selected in the 1989 NBA Draft. He attended the Boston Celtics' free-agent camp, played his way into an invitation to their veteran camp and played his first NBA preseason game matched up against future Hall-of-Fame guard John Stockton. As he recalls, on his first possession, Barry cut to the basket, Larry Bird hit him with a backdoor pass and Barry shuffled the ball to Robert Parish for a dunk. "I'm thinking, I made it," Barry said. "I just made an NBA play with Larry Bird and Chief and I'm here." Here didn't last long. The Celtics needed one more guard to fill out their roster, and they chose Georgetown point guard Charles Smith, who played on the 1988 U.S. Olympic team. "We can't cut the Olympic point guard and keep Scooter Barry," he remembers. Association, for San Jose, just miles from his boyhood home. After one more season in San Jose, Calif., the phone rang. It was a German club in Braunschweig. Hed be the first American to play for the club. Barry packed his bags and headed across the Atlantic. Barry's European odyssey took him to four different countries. He met his wife, Kersten, in Germany. Together, they lived the "gypsy lifestyle", Barry said. One season in Tenerife, Spain, the next in Messina. Italy, with stops in Australia and "Three different times, people thought my career was over," he said. At age 35, Barry was playing in the French league All-Star game in Paris while Kersten sat in the stands. "I just loved the game so much," Barry said. "I'm a junkie." While most players give up the game in their mid-30s, Barry played until he was 39. Belgium.

One season, Barry, Kersten and their dog spent nearly four months living in a hotel, waiting to get an apartment. stops," Williams told him. "It could be lonely," Kersten said. "There were a lot of teams where Barry's 19 years of professional basketball allowed him to see the darker side of European hoops; teams with shabby facilities and rogue owners who refused to pay players. "Every country, there's a different system, different language. You're constantly moving, so the relationships you make are superficial" They also felt financial strains. "I got my degree in psychology, and I went and tried to play basketball," Barry said. His long playing career cost him any chance to gain work experience. "It's not like I was making millions that I can live off of the rest of my life," Barry said. "I don't have a pension." "The 17 years I played basketball is life experience, but it makes for a pretty funny resume when you go and apply for a job." Barry's journey ended in Leon — a city in northwest Spain. After 19 years and six different countries, Barry was ready to call it quits. He was 39 years old, playing against players nearly half his age, still holding on. Barry was playing spot minutes, his body finally started to feel its age and he was spending more time on the bench. "I hated that," Barry said. He was miles away from his pregnant wife, Kersten, and 3-year-old daughter, Lauren, and their home in Germany. Barry and his wife had lost a child in pregnancy while he was playing in Tenerife — his last basketball address before Leon. That memory still deeply affects him. Barry wanted to be there when his first son, Grant, came into the world. He wanted to walk his kids to school; and after Grant was born, Barry and Kersten decided family had to come first.

He walks his daughter 500 yards to her kindergarten classroom, and plans his family's move to the United States. He's lined up a marketing job with a fitness club in San Ramon, Calif. The only holdup is regaining his American passport, which he had to give up when he acquired a German passport a few years ago. His basketball life is over, although Barry still admits even at age 41 "...if my knees and my legs would continue to run and jump I would probably still be playing." Unlike his father and three brothers, Barry never made it to the NBA, but he's happy his life worked out the way it did.

After a short stint with the Harlem Globetrotters, Lee visited Miles in France. Another friend in France hooked him up with a tryout with the club Entente Orleans.

If his NBA window was closed, Thomas said he was thinking about Europe for next season. "It's about setting myself up for the future" Thomas said. But a day after Thomas walked off the court in Los Angeles, his phone rang again. This time Cleveland needed a guard. Thomas was added to the roster for the playoffs and made a three-pointer off the bench in game two of Cleveland's first-round series against Washington. Thomas isn't guaranteed to be in Cleveland next season. In basketball, nothing is guaranteed. But for now, Thomas is back in the NBA, back playing alongside one of the best players in the world, LeBron James, fulfilling his dream. Thomas said he plans on playing three more years, and hopes to get into coaching after that. The basketball life is all Thomas knows. "Deep down, you have to love what you do." Thomas said. "love the fact that you're fortunate enough to play basketball for a living."

LONDON — Amy Winehouse left a London police station Saturday after questioning about reports that she scuffled with two men during a raucous night out. She received a formal police caution for assault. Winehouse spent the night at Holborn Police Station in central London after arriving for questioning Friday afternoon. AstatementreleasedbyWinehouse spokesman Chris Goodman said the singer "admitted to a common assault by slapping a man with an open hand and accepted a caution." Police said a 24-year-old woman had been cautioned for common assault. British police do not identify suspects who have not been charged. "Amy was fully cooperative with inquiries and apologized for the incident," the statement said. A man was quoted in tabloid newspapers as saying Winehouse hit him when he got in her way while she was playing pool at a bar in the Camden neighborhood of London. He said she also head-butted another man who was trying to hail her a cab in the early hours of Wednesday morning. B British singer Amy Winehouse arrives at a police station in London Friday, where she voluntarily appeared to be questioned in connection with an alleged assault that took place in the north London neighborhood of Camden.

OPINION MONDAY, APRIL 28, 200s 7A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LETTER TO THE EDITOR Concealed carry wrong approach More than one year ago, a crazed student on the campus of Virginia Tech killed 32 innocent Americans. Fellow students, we have a problem amongst ourselves. Currently, students are not allowed to bring concealed weapons on campus. I ask you, how am I supposed to defend myself in the wake of a terrorist attack or random act of violence on the campus of KU? Let's be honest, the only thing able to prevent people from being killed by guns is to allow everyone on campus to carry one. Fight fire with fire I say (that's proven to work, right?). I've been reading over the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC) Web site, and I must say that I'm disappointed. If guns are concealed, won't people still feel like they'll be able to attack any given classroom? If everyone is wielding their favorite glock, shotgun or rifle, then campuses would feel like a much cozier environment. If I see someone holding an M-14, that says, "Hey buddy, don't fight with me," and I wouldn't. It's completely ridiculous logic. That's why the group needs to drop the word "concealed" from their name. Now some of you liberals out there may claim, "Oh guns kill people. Let's all hold hands and hope for peace." What if a terrorist were attacking your anti-gun bonfire rally on Wescoe? Your guitar is no defense mechanism, and you wouldn't be able to play "Kumbaya" anymore. All that aside, according to the SCCC, in the fall of 2006, Utah how to submit Send a letter to the editor by e-mail to kansanopdesk@gmail.com Add comments on all letters, columns and editorials at kansan.com. allowed all public university students to carry concealed handguns and since then, there have been zero gun-related incidents. Sure, it may be the 35th most populous state, with the entire state's population totaling around 2.2 million, but zero means zero. Facts don't lie—this obviously means that all public universities in Utah are invincible to attacks, thanks to campus-friendly gun laws of course. Tragically, the SCCC has tackled an aspect which could be construed as an anti-gun threat. This would be the statistic claiming that 2 percent of gun-related deaths are accidental. So, come on fellow students, I vote that we organize an event on Wescoe Beach in support of pro-Constitutionalism called the People Supporting Your Concealed Handguns On School campuses (PSYCHOS). If not, we can always move to Utah. Nick Pennebaker is a Austin senior in political science. BLOGS@KANSAN.COM Lebron vs. Soulja Boy Tell Em' "Yooooul!" Are not going to believe this one. Allright, so for those of you who don't follow the NBA, the Washington Wizards and the Cleveland Cavaliers are facing off in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. After Washington got demolished by Lebron and the Cavs, Wizards player DeShawn Stevenson said Lebron was quote "overrated." Everyone has their opinion, but I personally believe you have to be considered a good player to be making comments like that. And even then, I wouldn't approve of it. Why the need for trash talk? I find this ridiculous. Soulja Boy Tell Em (That's his official name) has to know, he isn't a highly respected rapper. I mean, I give him credit."Crank That" was one of the biggest songs in recent time and he deliveted a hit. But his new crap like "Yah pop culture catastrophe Trick Yah!" or whatever it's called is just garbage. As my room-mate said, he's a good Well, Lebron simply responded by saying responding to Stevenson would be like rapper Jay-Z responding to a diss from Soulja Boy. So now, Soulja Boy says he's got issue with Lebron and went to Game 3 of the series because he was invited by Stevenson. rapper for when you have parties or are dancing. I don't think there is anyone actually sitting down and taking the time to listen to his whole album just for kicks? He can't possibly think his album stacks up against rap classics like "The Chronic," "Reasonable Doubt,""Illmatic," etc. I don't think LeBron was trying to discredit Soula Boy either. He's just making the case that Jay-Z, one of the greatest rappers ever, is not going to get bothered by being dissed by a rapper who has one hit song in his collection.

FROM THE DRAWING BOARD SANCTIONS? ARE YOU KIDDING? THIS IS BETTER THAN PAY-PER-VIEW! GREECE MUSCARE ROSES: R1075? GUEST COMMENTARY Kansas basketball beyond definition They'll write about the impenetrable defense and the pesky guard play. They'll write about the highlow offense and overpowering big men. They'll write about the senior leadership and incredible balance. Let me tell you what they won't write about. They won't write about what KU basketball actually is because they don't know. KU basketball is not one moment. It's not one player or one coach. It's not one team. It's not Mario Chalmers or Bill Self. It's not Danny Manning or Larry Brown. It's not even Phog Allen or James Naismith. In one of the more controversial statements of the 20th century, musician John Lennon infamously quipped that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus." Whether this statement was true, one thing remains absolute: They didn't have a thing on Kansas basketball. Anyone who was raised with it knows I'm not overstating the matter when I compare Jayhawk basketball to a religion. I've learned more about faith and the existence of God from a basketball game than I have from any sermon. And if the NCAA championship game revealed anything, it's that, occasionally, praying works. KU basketball is 40,000 people on Massachusetts Street. It's getting out of your car a mile away and hearing the constant, collective cheer of the crowd. Police lined the sidewalks during the celebration, but I think even they would tell you they didn't need to be there; In the coming weeks and months, sports analysts all over the country will place the 2007-2008 Kansas Jayhawks under a microscope. What made them champions? Curiosity will pull us to the newsstands. We'll all (myself included) pick up the new "Sports Illustrated" and "ESPN Magazine." We'll listen to the commentators on "SportsCenter." Here's what KU basketball is 40,000 people within five blocks, and not one act of violence or vandalism: just one big, universal high five. It didn't matter if you knew anybody. KU basketball is all the Generation Y kids who associate life experiences with Kansas basketball players. "Remember that time... I think Raef Lafrentz was a junior, and Joey's dad accidentally shot himself in the leg on that hunting trip?" "Remember the year Collison and Hinirw were sophomores, we stayed up really late the night before we took our ACTs and played video games?" KU basketball is my father, who, even in the worst of health, managed to come downstairs and watch a few minutes of the game. My father coached our elementary school basketball team to a perfect season (0-81). But we didn't care, because our team name was the Jayhawks, and my dad made sure we felt like them every game. KU basketball is Carl Cline, who let me walk across the backyard and shoot hoops on his basketball goal before I even had enough strength to throw the ball above the rim. Carl Cline, who helped me make my very first jump shot by placing his hand under the basketball and giving it that extra boost it needed to make it off the backboard and through the net. KU basketball is Grandpa Waller, who put up my first basketball goal. Never one to be outdone, Grandpa actually buried the base of the goal in cement so it wouldn't blow around in the wind. Grandpa Waller, who lives halfway around the world, but still makes sure to check the Kansas City Star Web site for Jayhawk updates. KU basketball is the fans inside Allen Fieldhouse at the end of a game, the fans, who slowly chant, "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk...KU." Nobody ever storms the court at Allen Fieldhouse.

KU" In 20 years, I'll need a moment to remember who the starting five were on the 2008 team. I won't need a moment to remember who I was with when we won it all. I won't need a moment to remember who jumped into the air with me when Chalmers sank his three or who I hugged as Collins dribbed out the final seconds of the game. I won't need a moment because as I watch the last remnants of my childhood fade away, I realize what is important. KU basketball really has nothing to do with basketball. I'm not a college athlete. I'll never coach a college basketball team. I'll probably never be a college basketball commentator. I will be a husband. I will be a father. I will be a grandfather. I will love my family. I will believe in God. I learned these things in Allen Fieldhouse. I learned these things in the upper deck of Kemper Arena. I learned these things in a living room. Excuse me if I don't make it to church. I used up all my prayers in March.

That is an unmitigated positive development, but it does not tell the entire story. Those same soldiers who are escaping their tours of duty with their lives are not leaving theaters unscathed. Often, though, their injuries are not of the blood and bone variety; instead, they involve head wounds known as traumatic brain injuries. The prevalence and long-term consequences of these injuries are issues the Department of Defense must address. A Soldiers experience injuries beyond physical ASSOCIATED PRESS Technological advances in how wars are fought have profoundly improved and lengthened soldiers' lives, and there is much to celebrate in that evolution. But those advances do not exist in a vacuum, and with them has arrived a set of consequences that have real and long-term impacts on those who suffer them. With a grasp of just how widespread soldiers' mental-health issues are, the Department of Defense can now take appropriate action to curb continued growth of the problem and treat those already suffering. — Durango (Colo.)

More than 40 acres of brush has burned in steep terrain bordering the Angeles National Forest. More than 100 people were trapped for several hours at a nearby recreation area because of the flames. SIERRA MADRE, Calif. — A wildfire that broke out in a popular hiking area blackened the steep slopes of foothills outside Los Angeles and led to evacuation orders for residents of about 550 homes, authorities said Sunday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Hundreds of people around Sierra Madre were told to flee Saturday night and Sunday as the wildfire continued to burn through dense brush, said Elisa Weaver of the Arcadia Fire Department. No homes were damaged, though a small outbuilding was destroyed, Weaver said. Sierra Madre is about 15 miles northeast of Los Angeles and just east of Pasadena. More than 400 firefighters were attacking the 350-acre fire, aided by two helicopters with two water-dropping air tankers on the way. The fire was little contained and was expected to burn for another two or three days. "This is pretty serious," Weaver said. "Some of these areas have not burned in over 40 years." The cause of the blaze remained under investigation. It was first reported Saturday afternoon in a wooded area a few miles northeast of Pasadena. It was windy at the time and unseasonably hot, with temperatures approaching 100 degrees. The flames also brought the evacuation of a Boy Scout camp Saturday and left about 100 hikers stranded in a parking lot near Chantry Flats. Most of the Scouts had already left the camp by the time the evacuation was ordered, Weaver said, and no injuries were reported. Firefighters originally had hoped to have the blaze contained Sunday, but gusting winds late Saturday night kept the fire burning out of control and creeping toward nearby homes. The evacuation orders came shortly before 11 p.m. Two shelters have been set up for evacuees. Flames outlined steep ridges about a mile above Sierra Madre, a San Gabriel Mountains foothill community of about 11,000 popular with artists. Troops counted out in voting; e-mail could resolve problem 》 IRAQ A woman sits in a room with a broken window. She is wearing a dark shirt and has her hair tied up. The walls are covered in crumpled materials, suggesting a space in need of repair or renovation. ASSOCIATED PRESS Army Pfc. Joseph Anzack, 19, of Los Angeles, of Delta Company, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment relaxes in the company barracks near Youssifiyah, Iraq on Feb. 2. 2007. Thousands of troops are struggling to cast their ballots for the presidential election. Voting by e-mail could solve some problems, but some worry about security and privacy issues. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan can speak to their families by Web camera and fight insurgents using sophisticated electronic warfare. Yet when it comes to voting, most troops are stuck in the past. Communities in 13 states will send overseas troops presidential election ballots by e-mail this year, and districts in at least seven states will also let them return completed ballots over the Internet, according to data compiled by The Associated Press and the Overseas Vote Foundation. That still leaves tens of thousands of service members in farflung military bases struggling to meet voting deadlines and relying largely on regular mail to get ballots and cast votes — often at the last minute because of delays in ballot preparations in some states. Pentagon officials have been urging more states to move into the electronic age before November, a move that could help reverse recent trends in which thousands of military members asked for ballots but either didn't vote or had their ballots rejected for flaws. Adding an electronic boost to the process would ease those problems, but it raises security and privacy concerns. The push comes more than seven years after problems with overseas military voting set off an uproar in President Bush's narrow 2000 victory. In Florida, where Bush squeaked out a 537-vote victory that gave him the presidency, questions were raised about several tho.sand overseas military votes that came in after deadlines and were counted in some districts but not counted in others. This year, when war is a key campaign issue, the election results in any state — particularly one with heavy military voting — could turn on the votes of thousands of troops on the front lines. "The personnel that fight our wars, the people who are most affected by the decisions on the use of the military, are being systematically denied the right to vote," said Bob Carey, a board member of the Overseas Vote Foundation, a voting rights group. "I find that pretty tough to swallow. If a president decides to deploy military troops somewhere, it's these troops that are going to go." Carey, a Navy reservist who has served in Iraq, noted that ballots are often not prepared and ready to be mailed until 30 to 45 days before an election. And since it can take more than two weeks for troops to get ballots by regular mail, they sometimes get them too late to meet voting deadlines. Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita, who is president of the National Association of Secretaries of State, said the use of e-mail is a controversial subject among his members. Yet, he said his state had no problems using e-mail to both deliver and receive ballots from overseas voters. "The fact of the matter is, we're voting in the same way we were voting in the 1850s." Rokita said of many other states. While a number of states are looking at the e-mail process to speed up delivery of ballots to military voters, he said the issue "is tied up in the national debate on whether we need a paper trail. Some are so scared of technology, they want to be tied to a piece of paper." In most states that allow e-mail balloting, the voter must also follow up by mailing in the ballot. And states that permit e-mail balloting warn that it is not a secure way to transmit personal information. States that will send a blank ballot by e-mail are: Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. However, in some states, such as Illinois, only certain voting districts participate in the e-mail balloting. States where voters can return completed ballots by e-mail are: Colorado, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Carolina and Washington. Find yourself in Kansas City this summer.

UMKC www.umkc.edu/summerschool THE UNIVERSITY OF DARLY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 28, 2008 WORLD WAR II NEWS 9A Diplomat's role remains a mystery ASSOCIATED PRESS STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Budapest, November 1944: Another German train has loaded its cargo of Jews bound for Auschwitz. A young Swedish diplomat pushes past the SS guard and scrambles onto the roof of a cattle car. ASSOCIATED PRESS 1 Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat that assisted Jews during the Holocaust, vanished in 1945. Ignoring shots fired over his head, he reaches through the open door to outstretched hands, passing out dozens of bogus "passports" that extended Sweden's protection to the bearers. He orders everyone with a document off the train and into his caravan of vehicles. The guards look on, dumbfounded. Raoul Wallenberg was a minor official of a neutral country, with an unimposing appearance and gentle manner. Recruited and financed by the U.S., he was sent into Hungary to save Jews. He bullied, bluffed and bribed powerful Nazis to prevent the deportation of 20,000 Hungarian Jews to concentration camps, and averted the massacre of 70,000 more people in Budapest's ghetto by Then, on Jan.17,1945 days after the Soviets moved into Budapest, the 32-year-old Wallenberg and his threatening to have the Nazi commander hanged as a war criminal. II was drawing to a close and the Soviets were growing increasingly suspicious of Western intentions in eastern Europe. Hungarian driver, Vilmos Langfelder, drove off under a Russian security escort, and vanished forever. Speculation that Wallenberg was engaged in espionage has been rife since the Central Intelligence Agency acknowledged in the 1990s that he had been recruited for his rescue mission by an agent of the Office of Strategic Services, the OSS, which later became the CIA. About the Pond, little is known. Because he was a rare flicker of humanity in the man-made hell of the Holocaust, the world has celebrated him ever since. Researchers have sifted through hundreds of purported sightings of Wallenberg into the 1980s, right down to plotting his movements from cell to cell while in custody. Fresh documents are to become public which might cast light on another puzzle: Whether Wallenberg was connected, directly or indirectly, to a super-secret wartime U.S. intelligence agency known as "the Pond," operating as World War Because he was a rare flicker of humanity in the man-made hell of the Holocaust, the world has celebrated him ever since. Streets have been named after him and his face has been on postage stamps. Researchers have wrestled with two enduring mysteries: Why was Wallenberg arrested, and did he really die in Soviet custody in 1947? is to release a stash of Pond-related papers accidentally discovered in a Virginia barn in 2001. These are the papersofJohn Grombach, who headed the Pond from its creation in 1942. CIA officials say they should be turned over to the National Archives in College Park, Md. In February, the Swedish government posted an online database of 1,000 documents and testimonies related to Wallenberg's disappearance. In a few months, independent investigators plan to launch a Web site with their nearly 20-year research into Russian archives and prison records. Russia is building a Museum of Tolerance that will feature once-classified documents on Wallenberg. Last year, the CIA relaxed its guidelines to reveal details of its sources and intelligence-gathering methods in the case. Despite dozens of books and hundreds of documents on Wallenberg, much remains hidden. As many as 100,000 pages of declassified OSS documents await processing at the National Archives. >> SOCIAL NETWORKING Online applications limit security Apple University of Virginia computer science student Adrienne Felt poses on April 17 in Charlottesville, Va. FaFelt has researched the issue of online privacy as it relates to third-party applications that people routinely download on Web sites such as Facebook. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Sarah Brown is unusually cautious when it comes to social networking. The college sophomore doesn't have a MySpace page and, while she's on Facebook, she does everything she can to keep her page as private as she can. "I don't want to have to worry about all the different online scandals and problems," says Brown, an education major at St. Joseph College in Connecticut. She'd like to control her personal information and keep it out of the hands of identity thieves or snooping future employers. "It's just common sense." It sounds like her info is locked down and airtight. But is it? Turns out, even the privacy-conscious Sarah Browns of the world freely hand over personal information to perfect strangers. They do so every time they download and install what's known as an "application," one of thousands of mini-programs on a growing number of social networking sites that are designed by third-party developers for anything from games and sports teams to trivia quizzes and virtual gifts. Brown, for instance, has installed applications on her Facebook page for Boston Bruins fans and another that allows her to post "bumper stickers" on her own page and those of her friends. It's a core way to communicate on social networking sites, which allow friends to create pages about themselves and post photos and details about their lives and interests. People often think Facebook profiles and sometimes MySpace pages, if they're set as private, are only available to friends or specific groups, such as a university, workplace or even a city. But that's not true if they use applications. On Facebook, for instance, applications can only be downloaded if a user checks a box allowing its developers to "know who I am and access my information," which means everything on a profile, except contact info. Given little thought, agreeing to the terms has become a matter of routine for the nearly 70 million Facebook users worldwide who use applications to spruce up their pages and to flirt, play and bond with friends online. News Corp's MySpace, which has about 117 million unique visitors each month, recently added an applications platform, giving developers access to the profiles of anyone who downloads them. Unlike Facebook, though, MySpace users don't have to include their names on their profiles. So what do these third parties do with the information? Sometimes, they use it to connect users with similar interests. Sometimes, they use it to target ads, based on demographics such as gender and age. But experts who track online security issues think there's too Facebook and MySpace say they hold application developers to strict standards — and boot them if they don't comply. They also point out that some information, such as e-mail addresses and phone numbers, aren't made available. much personal information flying around out there, with few guarantees that it's safe. They also think social networkers have little understanding of where their information goes and how it's used — and as a result, have a false sense of security. BEST BBQ IN LAWRENCE "I suspect that there's a whole lot of clicking without a lot of thinking," says Mary Madden, a senior research specialist at the Pew Internet & American Life Project who studies privacy issues. "So much of this sharing happens in a way that users don't see the consequences. It's kind of a big, black hole." Part of the risk stems from Facebook applications being created by tech-related companies or by any individuals with know-how. Some would argue that it's much like trusting an online vendor with your credit card information. 2429 Iowa Adrienne Felt, a computer science major at the University of Virginia and Facebook user, decided to research the site's applications. "People seem to have this idea that, when you put something on the Internet, there should be some privacy model out there — that there's somebody out there that's enforcing good manners. But that's not true," Felt says. BIGG'S BBQ MARSHALL, HIBU, AND ROCK, IN ROLL delivered right to your door.

Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird 》LEGISLATURE State continues to debate coal plants BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS But House Speaker Melvin Neufeld and his staff noticed, particularly one section several pages into the measure. It said the TOPEKA — A bill sought by the Department of Agriculture to end small headaches in regulating grocery stores and vending machines didn't get much attention as it slipped quietly through the Legislature this year. To them, the section had a familiar secretary of agriculture couldn't impose regulations more stringent than those imposed by the federal government, unless legislators approved.

Something similar for the secretary of health and environment had been included in two bills Gov. Kathleen Sebelius had vetoed during the biggest legislative debate of the year. So why, Neufeld wonders, did Sebelius sign a bill containing a similar restriction on the secretary of agriculture? He believes she's being inconsistent, something her staff disputes. And this year, the legislative session seems to be all about whether the two coal plants get built. The contentious debate over coal-fired plants casts a huge shadow. When people have points to make, public opinion to shape and votes to change, seemingly Those bills allow two coalfired power plants in southwest Kansas, which Neufeld, an Ingalls Republican, strongly supports. Sebelius has criticized provisions restricting the secretary of health and environment's power, saying they're unacceptable to her. "You see other legislatures in coal mining states spend a lot of time on coal, but nothing like this, not day in, day out," said Bruce Nilles, director of the Sierra Club's national anti-coal campaign.

Sunflower Electric Power Corp. wants to build the two plants outside Holcomb, in Finney County. In October, Rod Bremby, secretary of health and environment, denied an air-quality permit for the project. He cited the two plants' potential carbon dioxide emissions of up to 11 million tons a year. He added the state couldn't ignore the dangers of global warming, which many scientists link to man-made greenhouse gas emissions. Many legislators believe the state should leave regulation of greenhouse gases to the federal government. {The Place To Be Cool} $200 CASH LOOK & LEASE • For EVERY person that signs a lease, until the end of April!

The 42-year-old woman told police that her father began sexually abusing her when she was 11 and locked her in a room in the cellar on Aug. 28, 1984. During the 24 years that followed, she said she was continually abused and gave birth to six children, the statement said. She said she gave birth to twins in 1996 but one died several days later; police said they were investigating. Police said in the statement the woman appeared "greatly disturbed" psychologically during questioning. She agreed to talk only after authorities assured her that she would no longer have to have contact with her father and that her children would be taken care of. DNA tests are expected to determine whether the man is the father of the six surviving children, according to police. Police said three of the children were registered with authorities and lived with the grandparents. The other three children were apparently held captive in the cellar with their mother, Polzer told reporters in broadcast remarks. The Austria Press Agency said the three boys and three girls range in age from 5 and 20. One of the children, a 19-year-old woman, was being hospitalized in very serious condition, according to Austrian broadcaster ORF. Sunday's developments recalled another case that shocked Austrians in the summer of 2006, when a young woman escaped after being largely confined to a tiny underground dungeon in a quiet Vienna suburb for more than eight years. Natascha Kampusch was 10 years old when she was kidnapped in Vienna on her way to school in March 1998. Her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil, threw himself in front of a train just hours after her dramatic escape. --- SPORTS CLUB SOFTBALL EYES 2009 START THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 2B WWW.KANSAN.COM MONDAY, APRIL 28, 2008 TORONTO DEFEATS KANSAS CITY TO END LOSING STREAK PAGE 10B NFL DRAFT PAGE 1B Talib leads group of chosen Hawks BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com The 2008 spring game is in the books, coach Mark Mangino's coach of the year awards reside safely atop his mantle and the team's Orange Bowl victory is a distant memory. But over the weekend, Kansas football continued to reap the rewards of its revitalization when four former Jayhawks were selected in the NFL Draft. Cornerback Aqib Talib went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers late in the first round as the 20th overall pick. Offensive tackle Anthony Collins, tight end Derek Fine and wide receiver Marcus Henry followed on day two of the draft. Talib, the gem of the Jayhawks' draft class, was the second cornerback taken in the draft. "He wants to be in the yard playing ball, it's just what he does," Tampa Bay coach John Gruden said in a release. "Sometimes when he plays, there's a little arrogance, honesty. I like this guy a lot — he's a great kid. Football means the world to him, and I think he'll represent us well." Tampa Bay has two experienced cornerbacks on its roster, but one starter, Ronde Barber, is 33 years old. The Buccaneers usually use a Cover Two scheme, which Talib said was similar to the system Kansas Talib left Kansas after a junior season in which he earned unanimous All-American recognition, won the FedEx Orange Bowl MVP Award and intercepted five passes. With 13 career interceptions, Talib is tied for the Kansas record, and he holds the school record with 322 interception return yards. Talib is the first Jayhawk selected in the first round since Dana Stubblefield in 1993. ran during his junior season. Collins had to wait until the second day of the draft to be selected, going to Cincinnati as the 13th pick in the fourth round. Collins, the 112th overall selection, departed Kansas after his junior year. Collins, an AP first-team All-American, projects as a right tackle in the NFL, but Bengals coaches said he could also play guard, depending on the situation. Analysts predicted that Collins would be drafted in either the second or third rounds, but teams loaded up on offensive tackles early in the draft, leaving the former Jayhawk unclaimed until Sunday afternoon. Collins was the ninth offensive tackle taken in the 2008 draft, and the first plucked from the Big 12 Conference. Fine didn't stay on the draft board as long as expected. Fine, a three-year Kansas starter, was selected by the Buffalo Bills as the 33rd pick of the fourth round and 132nd overall selection. Fine was projected to fall to the seventh round, but the Bills made him the 10th tight end taken. "He's a better athlete than people give him credit for," Buffalo scout Brad Forsyth said in a release. "I like his toughness, his versatility - extremely smart guy and a special teams guy. A high end character guy that you want on your team." The New York Jets selected Henry with the fifth pick of the sixth round. Henry emerged as a star in his senior season, gaining a team-high 1,014 receiving yards and grabbing 10 touchdown receptions. Henry, a Lawton, Okla., native, was the 171st overall pick and the 23rd wide receiver selected.

"Because of the situation, you could say it's definitely a better situation than if some other team had drafted me, just because of what they have on their roster," McAnderson said.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO BASEBALL Jayhawks drop series; fall to last in conference BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com Just as feared entering the series, the Oklahoma State (32-11, 14-7) offense was just too much for the Kansas pitching staff to handle. With the 8-3 loss in Stillwater Sunday, Kansas (25-22, 5-13) solidified its place at the bottom of the Big 12 standings. Kansas is now 2-10 on the road in conference play this season. Kansas' struggles on Sunday were no different than its shortcomings all weekend against No. 13 Oklahoma State. For the third straight game, the Jayhawks led the Cowboys — twice on Sunday — only to hand Oklahoma State a victory. "I've got to give them great credit," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "That's as good as anybody's played against us all year. They're playing at a really high level." For the second straight Sunday, Kansas turned to freshman right-hander T.J. Walz to be its savior from the sweep, but the task was too great for Walz this time around. B Kansas senior center fielder Casey Larson led the game off by Walz taking Oklahoma State right-hander Matt Gardner deep to right field and gave Walz a 1-0 lead to work with. However, Walz let the lead evaporate nearly as quickly as it was earned. Walz began by walking Oklahoma State's leoffman, Donnie Webb, on five pitches. Then Walz committed an error trying to pick Webb off, advancing Webb to second. All Oklahoma State needed was a single by Dean Green to knock Webb in and tie the score. The trend continued the next inning as Walz allowed Oklahoma State's leadoff man, Thomas Belza, to reach. Belza advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt before scoring on a single from Jordy Mercer to put the Cowboys on top, 2-1. Walz's outing ended prematurely in the fourth. After allowing Oklahoma State's leadoff man to reach for the fourth straight inning he was relieved by junior right-hander Paul Smyth (3-4), who retired the next three batters. "He wasn't sharp." Price said of Walz. "He just couldn't get ahead in the count or locate his fastball, which didn't allow him to go to his breaking ball." That pitching change temporarily altered the momentum of the game in the Jayhawks' favor. In the top of the fifth, freshman third baseman Tony Thompson reached with a one-out single and was followed by a single Larson from Larson. Gardner then loaded the bases for senior left fielder John Allman, walking sophomore second baseman Robby Price. Allman came through, driving in Thompson and Larson with a single to left field and putting Kansas ahead, 3-2. Gardner was promptly pulled from the game to prevent any more damage with the heart of the Kansas order coming up. Right-hander Robbie Weinhardt (4-0) entered for Gardner and reversed the momentum of the game back in Oklahoma State's direction, getting out of the inning. Further disaster ensued when, after back-to-back singles, Tyrone Hambly tripled, giving the Cowboys a two-run lead. Hambly scored when Kansas couldn't turn a double play that would have ended the inning, increasing Oklahoma State's lead, 6-3. After pitching a perfect fifth inning — the only innning Oklahoma State's leadoff man didn't reach base — Smyth coughed up a leadoff home run in the sixth to Neil Medchill that tied the game, 3-3. "At that point in time, you're trying to put zeroes up, so you can get a chance to see if you can add to your lead," Price said. "Giving up a four-spot in that inning buried us." "One of the things I shared with my team was, in order to make the Big 12 tournament, we're going to have to win the K-State series and we're going to have to win the Oklahoma series," Price said. "Even though we lost some ground this weekend, which was not good, the big thing is we still have to win those two series just the make the thing, anyway." Of the schools Kansas is battling for one of the two final spots to qualify for the Big 12 Championship — Kansas State, Oklahoma and Texas Tech — the Jayhawks were the only team to get swept this weekend. They fell from an eighth-place tie to $ _{10^{th}} $ place, all by their lonesome. The Cowbys tacked on a run in both the seventh and eighth for good measure.

SOFTBALL Kansas' George stifles OSU BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com The University of Kansas softball team went back to Big 12 conference play this weekend. The team split the home series with Oklahoma State, improving to 35-16 overall. The first game was not one to remember for the Jayhawks (5-9 Big 12). They could not generate much offense, while Oklahoma State (25-23, 8-8 Big 12) had no problem compiling 13 hits in an 8-1 victory for the Cowgirls. Kansas' defense showed up with junior third baseman Val Chapple and shortstop Stevie Crisosto making a couple of leaping catches, but the Cowgirls heated up on offense at the right times. Oklahoma State's senior right fielder Kim Kaye crushed a two-run home run with two outs in the third inning. The Cowgirls scored a run in every inning except the first and seventh innings. "It was definitely a game of momentum both games," coach Kansas Tracy Bunge said. She said the Cowgirls were able to get momentum early in Saturday's game, but on Sunday, the Cowgirls got down and the Jayhawks got the momentum. Sunday's game was redemption for Kansas as it earned the 6-0 victory. The team capitalized on three Oklahoma State errors with a big third inning, scoring five runs. Junior pitcher Valerie George worked out of jams in the first three innings with the help of some amazing defense to back her up. Oklahoma State stranded eight runners in the game, and George allowed only one hit after the Jayhawks took the lead. Bunge said George pitched a lot smarter on Sunday and pitched her game. The Jayhawks move into the home stretch of the season with only two series left before the Big 12 Championship. The team will face off against Nebraska (27-26, 1-12 Big '1' in a doubleheader Wednesday in Littleton. "She's a nibbler," Bunge said. "She's gonna throw the screwball in, the curveball out, get you to chase a rise ball occasionally and then float one of those change-ups in there," Bunge said. Weston White/KANSAN George said she felt more confident on the mound on Sunday and thought the victory against Oklahoma State would carry momentum for the Jayhawks into the final two series of the season. . "Nebraska's a very dangerous team because they've got nothing to lose right now," Bunge said. KANSAS Sophomore second baseman Sara Ramirez stretches out to make a catch for an out at first base.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NHL Penguins take 2-0 series lead into New York PITTSBURGH — Jordan Staal scored a power-play goal in the second period and Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made the lead stand up, giving the Penguins a 2-0 victory Sunday over the New York Rangers and a home-ice sweep of the first two games of their second-round series. Staal's goal was all the offensive support Fleury needed while making 26 saves. Fleury helped the Penguins kill off two key Rangers power plays in the final six-plus minutes and Adam Hall scored into an empty net with 16.7 seconds remaining. Games 3 and 4 will be Tuesday and Thursday nights at Madison Square Garden, where Pittsburgh is 0-3-1 this season. Staal's power-play goal came with the Rangers' best penalty killer, Chris Drury, off for hooking.

Associated Press 》OLYMPICS Torch to make first visit to North Korea BY BURT HERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS 림판 V2 배 Chinese students are blocked by police officers as they try to march to anti-Beijing Olympic protesters near the Olympic Park in Seoul, South Korea, Sunday. A North Korean defector tried to set himself on fire to halt the Olympic torch relay Sunday in Seoul, where thousands of police guarded the flame from protesters blasting China's treatment of North Korean refugees. SEOUL, South Korea — Chinese students clashed with anti-Beijing demonstrators at the Olympic torch relay Sunday in Seoul, throwing rocks and punches at the latest stop on the flame's troubled round-the-world journey. A North Korean defector tried to set himself on fire to halt the relay, where thousands of police guarded the flame from protesters blasting China's treatment of North Korean refugees. But the small groups of anti-China demonstrators were far outnumbered by seas of red-clad Chinese supporters who waved red national flags as they took to the streets of the South Korean capital to defend the torch. Police deployed 8,000 officers, some running beside the flame while others rode horses and bicycles with the relay through the city, which hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics. China's crackdown on violent protests against Chinese rule in Tibet has triggered attempts to disrupt the torch run celebrating the August games at other stops of the torch relay. Thousands of North Koreans have fled across the loosely controlled Chinese border and many remain in hiding in China. If caught, they are deported by Chinese authorities and face likely imprisonment in life-threatening conditions back in the North. In South Korea, many critics focused on Beijing's treatment of defectors who try to escape their lives of hardship in North Korea. ASSOCIATED PRESS The man who tried to immolate himself, 45-year-old Son Jong Hoon, had led an unsuccessful public campaign to save his brother from execution in the North, where he was accused of spying after the two met secretly in China. About an hour into the relay, Son poured gasoline on himself in the middle of a street, but police quickly surrounded him and carried him away before he could set himself on fire. Two other demonstrators tried to storm the torch but failed to hinder its 15-mile trip from Olympic Park — built in honor of the 1988 Summer Games — to City Hall. Life Happens.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Fastball strikes umpire's jaw ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Plate umpire Kerwin Danley was taken off the field in an ambulance after he was struck on the jaw by Brad Penny's fastball that Dodgers catcher Russell Martin missed in the fourth inning Saturday night. Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch said Danley lost consciousness briefly, but was conscious and coherent when he was placed into the ambulance. "He wanted up," said third baseump Greg Gibson, who had an escort waiting to take him to the hospital after the Dodgers-Rockies game. "It was kind of funny because the Dodgers' trainer said, 'I've always wanted to tell an umpire what to do, and tonight I'm going to do it. You're not going anywhere.' But the Dodgers' training staff was great. "His mom was here, which was a concern," Gibson added. "I'm very grateful to them for the support — getting the ambulance and everything they did for us. They've just been awesome. We're a family." The game was delayed for 18 minutes, with Danley laying nearly motionless behind home plate before being put on a stretcher and loaded into the ambulance. "He was out for a little bit on the field, so this is all just precautionary and I'm sure he'll be fine." Gibson said. "I've had three concussions myself, so it's a scary thing. I'm just glad that everybody responded as quick as they did." Dodgers medical personnel accompanied him on the ride to to put on the gear to work home plate. Runge held Danley's left hand and patted him on the chest while they waited for the ambulance, and the crowd applauded the ampire as he was placed into the vehicle.

Instead of leaving Talladega Superspeedway with a smashed-up car, he drove into Victory Lane. The kid who couldn't conquer Talladega finally won at the harrowing track Sunday, and in this breakout season for Busch, it was only hitting that he coasted to the victory. Busch came back from a lap down for his first win at Talladega, which was won under caution when a 13-car accident brought out the yellow flag on the final lap. It froze the field and allowed Busch to slowly make his way across the finish line — a rare completion considering his past history at this track. In six previous Cup races, Busch failed to finish four times and wrecked out of both events last season. His accident in last spring's Cup race was so hard, he cracked his head-and-neck restraint while finishing 37th. And his wreck in the fall officially ended his championship hopes. "I don't think I've finished one here without wrecking, or at least without a torn up car. Today means a whole lot." "I don't think I've finished one here without wrecking, or at least without a torn up car," Busch said. "Today means a whole lot." But this year, he can't seem to do anything wrong. His victory was his second Sprint Cup win of the year, and seventh spanning all three of NASCAR's top series. "it's great for Kyle. He's red hot," car owner Joe Gibbs said. "I didn't want to finish second," Montoya said. "It's hard. I would think I would have tried to make a move coming out of four." Denny Hamlin, Busch's teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing,finished third. "The whole race was crazy, Hamlin said. "Everyone got antsy." Juan Pablo Montoya finished second to match his career best on an oval since moving to NASCAR midway through 2006. He also was second at Indy last July. That showed in the waning laps, which were marked by three separate accidents. The first came with 14 laps to go when Tony Stewart, KYLE BUSCH NASCAR Driver the third Joe Gibbs Racing driver, was stuck in the middle of a huge pack of cars. Bobby Labonte got forced to the bottom of the track by another car, and it set in motion a six-car accident that ended Stewart's day. Despite leading a race-high 61 laps, he dropped to 0-for-20 in Talladega Cup races. "That's what happens late in these races," Stewart said as he surveyed his damaged car. "If it was my fault, I'm sorry. But by looking at the video, I don't think I did anything wrong." Labonte wrecked again shortly after the restart for another caution, setting up a final re-start with five laps to go and Michael Waltrip leading. But Jimmie Johnson moved Waltrip out of the way, briefly giving Johnson the lead before he lost his momentum and a Busch-led train raced past him on the outside. Busch had Jeff Gordon on his bumper, and the ending was shaping up for another last-lap duel: Four of the past six Talladega races ended with a last-lap pass. ASSOCIATED PRESS Montoya, with a huge push from temporary teammate David Stremme — he was filling in for Dario Franchitti, who broke his ankle in Saturday's Nationwide Series race — moved past Gordon and onto Busch's bumper with Hamin behind him. 416 Knowing Hamilin was likely to work with Busch if he couldn't win the race himself, Montoya bided his time as he considered how to make a run on Busch. But it never came into play, as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jamie McMurray made contact, McMurray hit the wall and a ton of other cars piled up around them. Kyle Krisioff (41), David Reutimann (99), Kelly Bires (47), Steve Wallace (66), Stephen Leicht (21) and Kenny Wallace (28) crash during turn one of the NASCAR Aaron's 312 Nationwide Series auto race Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladoga, Ala. Montoya and Hamlin didn't freet over what could have been. Asked what he could have done. Montoya said to ask Hamlin. "Ask Denny, he was the guy behind me," he said. "Yeah, I was going to dictate the winner," Hamlin joked. "He's right," Montoya replied. But in all seriousness, Hamlin said he was going to be a player.

Bryant led a balanced offense with 22 points and the Los Angeles Lakers took a 3-10 lead in their first-round series, routing the flustered Nuggets 102-84 on Saturday. Game 4 is tonight, and the Nuggets are going to have to get more out of their All-Star duo of Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson if they hope to take the series back to the Staples Center. For once, the Nuggets clamped down on defense, but their highflying offense went AWOL as Anthony and Iverson had their worst performance together since the two superstars first teamed up 16 months ago. "I was getting to the basket, I just wasn't finishing," Iverson said. "And the same thing happened to 'Melo.'" Anthony and A.I. shot a combined 10-for-38 and finished with 16 and 15 points, respectively. No thanks to the Lakers, either, suggested coach Phil Jackson. "I thought our defense packed it in on them, but they missed some easy shots," Jackson said. "I told the team at halftime. 'They're not going to shoot like this for the whole game. They missed some close shots, some shots they usually make. We'll have to play better defense in the second half." "But they never showed up. They never got it going." Iverson sat out all but 1:11 of the fourth quarter, when Nuggets coach George Karl emptied his bench, prompting Anthony to accuse the team of quitting. "In a game like tonight, on our home court, us giving up as a whole is uncalled for." Anthony fumed. "Yeah. We quit. Everybody. From the coaches to the players, we quit. And I said it. "I'm not blaming anyone. I'm not pointing the fingers at nobody. I didn't play worth a (expletive) tonight, and I can accept that. But as a competitor, there's no way that I should lay down and quit and lay down on my team like we did tonight." Anthony said the Nuggets surrendered in the third quarter, although Karl didn't empty his bench until the fourth quarter. "You could just sense it," Anthony said. "I'm saying 'we,' because I'm part of this, too. I'm saying I quit. We all just gave up." At least one teammate concurred. "That's the way it seemed," Kenyon Martin said. "Everybody came out of the game. A.I. came out, and he leads the league in minutes. It's frustrating." "Well, I don't think I quit," Karl retorted. "... In the fourth quarter, I tried to find some answers. ... I don't think that's a fair, I think 'Melo's emotional right now, he's frustrated right now, as we all are." Bryant said he never sensed the Nuggets had given up until the very end. "Well, they're down 20-something points with two minutes to go." Bryant said. "But not until that point." Bryant had a placid first half himself (8 points of 3-of-8 shooting) but scored nine quick points in the third quarter to put the Lakers ahead 64-51 and quiet the Pepsi Center crowd that loves to hate him. Bryant has always played well in Colorado, where fans have persistently heckled him ever since he was charged with sexual assault at a ski resort in the Rocky Mountains in 2003, even after the criminal case was dismissed and a civil suit settled. Anthony drew a technical foul — Denver's seventh in the series — after he was stripped on his way to the basket, leading to a breakaway by Bryant that stretched the Lakers' lead to 78-61 with 2:33 left in the third. Los Angeles took an 83-64 lead into the fourth quarter and never looked back as Karl sent in the likes of Yakhouba Diwara, Chucky Atkins and Steven Hunter into the game. Is that quitting? No way, said Eduardo Najera. "We can point fingers but at the end of the day we missed shots. Tonight, we just missed a lot of layups, easy, wide-open shots," Nujera said. The Nuggets, who have lost seven straight playoff games, figured they could get to the rim and the foul line more than they had in the first two games in Los Angeles. They got to the rim all right, but the shots didn't fall and the whistles didn't sound. By Karl's count, Anthony and Iverson were 1-for-20 on laups. The Nuggets limped to the locker room trailing 53-46 at halftime with 'Melo and A.I. a combined 5-for-21, pretty much negating the boost they got from forward Linas Kleiza's start despite a hyper-extended elbow. He finished with 15 points and nine boards. "Your spirits have to be broken somewhat if you're the home team after a game like today, but you don't make it to this level if you aren't resilient." Lakers guard Derek Fisher said. "You always come back the next time feeling you can do the things better that you didn't do the time before." Iverson had no answers on this night. "I've been in a lot of playoff series," he said. "I don't think I've ever been this frustrated." Neither has Anthonv. "In my five years here, this is the first time I've felt like this," Anthony said. "This one hurt. It hurt bad." 60 LAKERS 24 ASSOCIATED PRESS Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant gestures after hitting a three-point basket against the Denver Nuggets in the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 102-84 victory in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series in Denver on Saturday.

KU CREDIT UNION A DIVISION OF 66 FEDERAL CREDIT UNION A Better Way to Bank WWW.KUCU.ORG KU CREDIT UNION A DIVISION OF 68 FEDERAL CREDIT UNION WWW.KUCU.ORG Avalanche's goalies trade places; sub could start in Game 3 of series NHL BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — Just two weeks ago, Jose Theodore sheepishly was fending off comparisons to Hall of Famer Patrick Roy that were coming at him fast and furious like so many shots from the Minnesota Wild. Now, he's sick and the Colorado Avalanche are ailing. Theodore has been pulled in each of the Avs' two losses in the Western Conference semifinal series at Detroit, where he surrendered eight goals in less than Peter Budaj has stopped 19 of 20 shots in his place, leading to speculation that he'll get the start in Game 3 when the series shifts to Denver on Monday night. four periods. "We'll talk about everything," Colorado coach Joel Quenneville said. "But Jose has been our guy. Coming off what he went through is not easy. Budaj did a nice job in relief." The Red Wings successfully switched their goaltenders midway through the first round of the playoffs, benching Dominik Hasek in Game 4 while losing their second Need a Summer Job?

Avs forward lan Laperriere suggested the solution in Colorado might not have anything to do with who's minding the net. "I think we need to play better in front of our goalie," Lapertiere said. "We're not playing as strong as we did in front of our goalie as we did in the first series." Theodore said he'll be ready to start Game 3. "but it's not my call." The banged-up Avalanche have more concerns than just their goaltender. Peter Forsberg didn't play in either of the first two games after the team said he aggravated a strained groin in the skatearound before Game 1. "He knows his body and he said he was unable to go," Quenneville said after Game 2. "He's made a real impact since he's been there. He gives the opposition a lot to think about. We think he's pretty close." Detroit coach Mike Babcock is counting on Colorado coming back at full strength in Denver. "Forsberg will be back. Thedore is sick. He'll be back, and he'll be better." Babcock said. That's part of his message about not relaxing with a 2-0 lead like the Red Wings did in the first round. "All we have to do is go back to the last series. We were in the same scenario, and we went to Nashville and didn't win a game (until Game 6)," Babcock said. With Forsberg out and watching and Theodore sick and struggling, nobody has capitalized more than Johan Franzen, who had two goals in Detroit's series-opening 4-3 win and scored three times in the Red Wings' 5-1 victory Saturday night. To get back into this series, the Avalanche are going to have to figure out a way to stop the "Mule." "He's got a hot stick right now," Quenneville said. "Everything he touches seems to be going in. We have to be a little more tighter to him." - THE UNIVERSITY OF DAVY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 28, 2008 SPORTS 》LPGA 9B Swede wins in close tourney ASSOCIATED PRESS CALLAWAY GOLF BY TIM REYNOLDS ASSOCIATED PRESS Annika Sorenstam, of Sweden, tees off during the final round of the Stanford International golf tournament Sunday in Aventura, Fla. AVENTURA, Fla. — Annika Sorenstam made a par on the first playoff hole Sunday, good enough to beat Paula Creamer and win the Stanford International Pro-Am. It was Sorenstam's 71st career victory on the LPGA Tour, and came after Creamer wasted a great chance down the stretch. Both laid up at the par-5 18th in the playoff, with Creamer facing a tricky downhill birdie putt from just off the fringe, and Sorenstam leaving herself a birdie try from almost the same spot where she missed the potential winner in regulation. Sorenstam missed the birdie putt yet again, but Creamer's 6-foot comebacker for par stopped short and gave the Swede the victory, plus the $300,000 winner's check. With considerable help from Creamer, Sorenstam (70) erased a one-hole deficit in the final two holes of regulation. They finished at 8 under. Creamer missed the green at the short par-3 17th, then hit a bad chip and made bogey. On the par-5 18th, Creamer (69) hit driver off the tee, but elected to lay up anyway and hit a poor pitch from just inside of 100 yards, eventually settling for par. Sorenstam nearly ended it right there. But she barely missed a birdie putt that would have won it on the 72nd hole, and Creamer exhaled for what seemed like several seconds, knowing she'd just gotten a second chance. She just couldn't do anything with it, though, and Sorenstam won for the 16th time in 22 playoff appearances. It was the first time in five weeks someone other than Lorena Ochoa won on the LPGA Tour. The world No. 1 skipped this event. Young Kim (69) and Karrie Webb, who turned in the round of the week with a 7-under 64, tied for third, one shot behind Sorenstam and Creamer. Momeko Ueda (71) finished alone in fifth at 5 under. It was Webb's best finish since placing second at last year's LPGA Championship, 17 events ago. "It's a good finish for me," Webb said. "I would have liked to made the one on the last, but I feel great about things. As much as I've been down on myself, I knew that if I could get my putter going, it just sort of goes to the rest of your game. I know my swing's been close, but when you feel like you can't make putts, you can't go at pins. It's a good start. Hopefully there're more to come." Webb's charge started early, with five consecutive birdies on holes 2-6 vaulting her into serious contention. Lindsey Wright was 6 under for the day through 12, but that wasn't enough nearly enough to close the gap. Young Kim had consecutive double-bogeys late on her front side, which proved quite costly. By late afternoon, it was a two-woman race. Creamer made two birdies in her first three holes to take the lead by one, until Sorenstam answered with a birdie at the sixth — ending a run of 26 pars in a stretch of 29 holes. Creamer blinked on the next hole, hitting one into a hazard and needing to remove her right shoe before splashing the ball out on the way to a bogey. They were both 9 under when Sorenstam pushed a 4-foot par try wide at the 13th, the mistake putting Creamer again alone in front. She stayed there until the bogey at 17, setting up the nail biter of a finish. One hole later, Creamer rebounded with a birdie, tying Sorenstam again at 8 under. 5 43 Atlanta shuts down Boston; wins first playoff since 1999 Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith splits the defense of Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett, left, and Kendrick Perkins during the third quarter of Game 3 of the NBA basketball first-round playoff series, Saturday in Atlanta. Smith led the Hawks with 27 points in their 102-93 victory. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — High-flying Josh Smith scored 27 points to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 102-93 victory over Boston on Saturday night that breathed life into their long-shot playoff hopes, cutting the Celtics' lead in the opening-round series to 2-1. Atlanta earned its first playoff victory since May 16, 1999, a Game 5 clincher over the Detroit Pistons. The Hawks were swept by New York in the next round, then spent nine long years trying to get back to the postseason. Joe Johnson added 23 points and Mike Bibby — who riled up the Boston faithful with his comments about "fair-weather" fans — bounced back from two dismal games by doling out eight assists. Showing much better ball movement and a willingness to run with the Celtics, the Hawks improved from 10 assists in Game 2 to 28 on Saturday. Kevin Garnett led Boston with 32 points, but the NBA's youngest playoff team had him kneeling over, looking totally exhausted, by the end of the game. Game 4 is Monday in Atlanta. MAGIC 106, RAPTORS 94 TORONTO — Rashard Lewis had 27 points and 13 rebounds, Dwight Howard added 19 points and 16 boards, and Orlando beat Toronto to take a 3-1 lead in its first-round playoff series. Jameer Nelson scored 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, while Hedo Turkoglu had 18 points and nine rebounds for the third-seeded Magic. Chris Bosh set a career playoff with 39 points and added 15 rebounds for the Raptors, who face elimination in Game 5 on Monday night at Orlando. T.J. Ford had 12 points and 13 assists for the Raptors. Lewis went 10-for-19 from the field. The Magic made four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and finished 11-for-29 from beyond the arc. JAZZ 86. ROCKETS 82 SALT LAKE CITY — Deron Williams scored eight of his 17 points in the fourth quarter and the jazz beat the Rockets for a 3-1 series lead. Mehmet Okur added 14 points and 18 rebounds, grabbing the biggest board of the game when Williams went 0-for-2 from the line with 7.3 seconds left and Utah only ahead by two. NBA Houston cut a 16-point third quarter deficit to a point and made a great push at the end after Shane Battier and Rafer Alston made 3-pointers in the final minute to get the Rockets back within two. Kyle Korver answered with two free throws for Utah to make it 84-80 with 12.5 seconds left, then after Carl Landry putback an offensive rebound. Tracy McGrady, who is 0-6 in playoff series, scored 23 points. Only four came in the fourth quarter.

Rolen homered and drove in two runs, Alex Rios collected four hits and scored three times and the Blue lays defeated the Kansas City Royals 5-2 on Sunday. Rios, who raised his average to .330, scored the go-ahead run in the fifth from first base on Rolen's single to left. Rios was waved home when Royals left fielder Jose Guillén threw to second base instead of hitting the cutoff man. "That's a big play in the game," Rolen said. "That's an easy one to shut down and for him to keep hustling, that's how you win ball games. We've found a lot of ways to lose ball games. "We had a chance to win the series here and let a couple of games get away," Rolen added. "That's the stuff we need to probably buckle down on a little bit and have a mindset to win the series. We'll turn the page, go to Boston and hopefully win that series." Rios, who led off the game with a triple and scored on Gil Meche's wild pitch, was glad to see third base coach Marty Pevey wave him home on Rolen's single. made is that Rios had got to be scooting all out or you can't do that. He can do that. God blessed him some awfully good legs." "When I saw it was going to be a hit, I just kept going at full speed.

"I knew we were leaving some guys out there," Rolen ASSOCIATED PRESS said. "It is a story, but not always the story" The Blue Jays committed three errors - including two by pitcher Jesse Litsch - to help the Royals tie the score with two runs in the third inning. DON'S AUTO: [Keeping Kansas students off the streets since 1972] Don's Auto Center 4th & Haskell 841-1831 Ross Gload hit a one-out single and Tony Pena Jr. followed with a comebacker that Litsch had trouble picking up. Litsch then fired the ball past first baseman Lyle Overbay, allowing the runners to each move up. David DeJesus then singled to center, scoring both. "I take pride in my fielding and that stuff can't happen," Litsch said. Litsch (3-1), who had given up 17 hits and nine earned runs in 8 1-3 innings his previous two starts, picked up the victory. He limited the Royals to two runs, one unearned, on five hits in seven innings, with no walks and four strikeouts. "I worked on my sinker the last four days and today it helped me out of some jams and keeping them off balance," Litsch said. "Being able to use both sides of the plate with command is key. That's what I've been working on and that's what I need to keep progressing." Left-hander Jesse Carlson worked the ninth to pick up his first save. Meche (1-4) took the loss and threw 129 pitches, which matched his career high and is the most thrown by a big league pitcher this season — all in just 6 2-3 innings. "Overall it was better," Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "He's still fighting himself a little. He's getting frustrated with himself, not locating as good as he would like to." In the second year of a five-year, $55 million contract, Meche has a 7.22 ERA in six starts while allowing 43 hits in 33 2-3 innings. "It was definitely an improvement," Meche said. "I felt a little more comfortable out there. It's just a matter of repeating pitches. It was still not the quality start I'm looking for, but I need more games like this one." The Blue Jays padded their lead with a two-run ninth, which included back-to-back doubles by John McDonald and Rios and a throwing error by Pena.

She uses her experiences to inspire and give hope to others. Jon Goering/KANSAN GIVING HOPE lejandra Castro Hernandez waits patiently in the band room at Ulysses High School in western Kansas. She has her slideshow set up, a stack of pamphlets to give out, prizes on hand and a speech well prepared. An announcement on the loudspeaker names off students to go to the band room for her presentation: "Fernandez, Garcia, Diaz..." The announcement doesn't mention the reason she is in this town near the Colorado border. When the students arrive, she will have to explain to them that they are not being deported, that they are not being singled out, and that this is not a "brown meeting." She is there to introduce the kids to a new program that could help prepare them for college. The kids file in, snickering and making jokes in Spanish. She lets them joke for a while, then starts telling them about the program. The kids sit up straighter, eyes wide, realizing they can't get away with talking about her because she speaks both languages. She tells them she was once in the same situation: an undocumented high school student, the daughter of a migrant worker and unsure that she could ever make it to college. "And I do speak Spanish, too," she says. Alejandra is a recruiter for Harvest of Hope, a new three-week summer college preparatory camp at the University of Kansas for high school students who are children of migrant workers. "I just feel like undocumented students are made to feel like they should be ashamed of themselves, like they don't have any future, like they are lower than everybody else," Alejandra says. "It just makes me mad. These people are supposed to give you hope; they are supposed to encourage you and support you." Her story might have ended differently had President Ronald Reagan not granted amnesty to her father. It certainly would have been different had the legislation making its way through the Kansas Senate in the 2008 session been enforced 20 years ago. But Alejandra is living proof that undocumented immigrants can beat all the odds and achieve the American dream. Alejandra doesn't fit the migrant profile. She's not like the majority of immigrants who crossed the border illegally. She has overcome nearly every hurdle that an immigrant could face. She crossed the border when she was 3 years old carrying no visa and little more than a blue plaid blanket and one change of clothes. Alejandra obtained residency status. She graduated from college. She has a good job.

Q&A with Professor Rick Hale Aerospace Engineering BY ABBY OLCESE aolcese@kansan.com Q: How long have you taught at KU? A: This is my 10th year here. A: This is my fourth year here. Q: What first attracted you to Aerospace Engineering? A. I grew up near a strategic air command base, and there were always planes flying around. I wanted to know how so much metal could stay up in the air. I'm a bit of an airplane junkie. Q: What's your favorite part of your job? CONTRIBUTED PHOTO A: I love working with the students. I came here from working 10 years in the industry and I think that was a good move. It's energizing to work with students on projects. I worked on military aircraft with McDonald-Douglas in St. Louis. Q: What is the project you're working on now, and how long have you been working on it? A: We're working on an uninhabited aircraft for the National Science Foundation (NSF). We're three years in. The NSF Science and Technology Center are putting sensors at the bottom of glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland. The sensors are providing data that will help scientists predict how long it will take for that glacial ice to melt, which will cause climate change and water levels to rise. The NSF team wants to be able to get the data to the aircraft in a cost-effective way. Since they're working between Antarctica and Greenland, it's not a safe mission for a pilot. That's why the aircraft has to be uninhabited. We're trying to develop a smart airborne system that works for a transportation goal and a science goal. Hopefully we can have the plane out by the end of the semester for a flight test. BUSINESS Q: How did you get the chance to work on this project? A: KU has actually been doing polar research for 100 years, and doing sensor research for about 50 years. In projects like this, sensors are usually towed by robots, but using an airplane will get more coverage of all the data. We'd been working on small-scale aircraft, and the NSF needed one, so this was a good fit. Rick Hale, professor of aerospace engineering, works on his current project. The project is an uninhabited aircraft for the NSF, who is putting sensors at the bottom of glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland. Q: How big is the plane? A: It's 1,100 pounds and 47 feet from wingtip to wingtip. It'll be carrying about 150 pounds. We're using fiber-reinforced plastics to make the plane, which are lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel. Maybe in ten years you'll be seeing a fleet of planes like this. Right now the data-gathering process is very labor-intensive. They're using big planes now that aren't well-designed, or wellsuited for the work that they're doing. The manned vehicle that's flying this year uses about 1,000 pounds of fuel in two hours. Ours uses 40 pounds in the same amount of time. A: Almost everyone in our program is involved. It's their capstone project. We've got lots Q: How many students are working on this project? of smart students doing lots of interesting work. Q: Do you have any future projects planned? CAMPUS A: I'm writing a paper over fiber-reinforced plastics, and working on some software development tools for aircraft. The goal is to get more of these kinds of vehicles out there (planes made from fiber-reinforced plastic) and safer. School of Journalism receives Hearst awards BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com The William Allen White School of Journalism was awarded the Hearst Award for intercollegiate writing again this year. David Guth, associate dean for the School of Journalism, said that the award was to journalism students as the NCAA championship was to the basketball players. The school has, for the second year in a row, received the most cumulative points in the national competition. "We didn't get welcomed back at the stadium," Guth said, "but it is a clear sign that we are the best at what we do." The trophy and a $10,000 prize will be presented to Dean Ann Brill in June in San Francisco. The individual student winners received a total of $5,000, and the school received matching amounts. Nathan Gill won 10th place for his spot news story about the flooding in the Osawatomie when he interned at the Osawatomie Graphic in Summer 2007. He said that he had to interview old people without medication and low income families without flood insurance. "It was very easy to bring out the humanity," Gill said, "because in the course of a day, I watched people lose everything they owned." He credited the School of Journalism for preparing him to write the story. He said with that professionalism came the attitude it took to handle stories that were sensitive and deal with tragedy. "KU journalism teaches not just how to be a reporter, but how to be a professional reporter." He said that the story got so much circulation that they had to reprint copies, but he credited much of its success to the team atmosphere of the paper. "We all were out there, and we did it together." Gill said. Malcolm Gibson, general manager and news advisor of The University Daily Kansan, said that the award was just a reflection of the quality work that the students do on a daily basis. "We don't put out the paper to win awards," Gibson said. "First and foremost we put out the best paper and Web site we can everyday, and the awards follow." Gibson said that the Hearst award was just another indicator of the University's overall quality. He said that when a student became a journalist, they had a lot less faculty involvement in the actual process. He said, as a result, the teachers had to set the foundation early before the students. "We spend a lot more time early on," Gibson said, "so that students can feel comfortable doing it on their own." Gibson said that the University was superior compared to Missouri and Northwestern, the second and third place winners, because the University's publication was completely student run. "Even beyond the journalism school, beyond The Kansan," Gibson said. "Liberal Arts plays such a huge part of becoming a journalist." Guth said, "Mizzou has a very excellent school of journalism. That being said, it always feels good to beat our neighbors to the east." Guth said he would like to say something nice about Kansas State, but they didn't even make the list. KRISTIN HOPPA/KANSAN Jumping for joy NATIONAL Pi Beta Phi members Megan Geenens, Overland Park sophomore, left, Ashley Robb, Liberty, Mo. freshman, middle, and Sarah Heider, Lawrence sophomore, jump rope Monday on Wesco Beach as a part of their fundraising campaign. Jump for Joy, promoting ovarian cancer awareness. The sorority name the campaign Jump for Joy in honor of Joy Noyce, a former Pi Beta Phi and mother to a recent chapter graduate, who passed away from ovarian cancer. Members of the sorority sold Mother's Day cards on campus for S2 with all money going to the National Ovarian Cancer Alliance. He said that while much of the credit should go to the students, someone had to drive the sled, and Ted Frederickson, the teacher of the Kansan reporting class, was the one velling "Mush." Frederickson just received the Budig Teaching Professorship for Writing. Guth said that this showed the quality of teaching that is at the helm of Kansan reporting. "Ted is a dogged champion of his students and gets the best out of them." Guth said, "and that is what makes a Hearst winner." Hearst Intercollegiate Writing Competition results Guth said that there is not a way to know who is the absolute best Journalism school in the nation, but one can use a series of indicators.

The renovations include new plumbing, wiring, furniture and appliances, and will cost an estimated $8.1 million. BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csommerville@kansan.com Jayhawker Tower A will be renovated, starting this summer. It will be closed for the 2008-2009 school year. The renovation, which was scheduled to happen after GSP Hall, was moved up a year. Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said that it was in the long-term plan to renovate the Towers, but the plan was accelerated because the student housing was able to do so. "We are eager to move forward," Robertson said. "Ultimately, what we're going to do is get the facilities improved and improve our options for KU students." Robertson said that the renovations to Tower A will include the "less glitzy stuff," including all-new plumbing, wiring, cable and Internet lines. The standard and instantly-recognizable brick walls will be filled in with drywall, and the lighting will be enhanced. The furniture and appliances will be new as well. The renovations will cost $8.1 million and will be paid with state funds. No structural walls will be removed, and the layout of the apartments will remain the same. Gutting the building, or tearing out all the old wiring, plumbing and other infrastructure, will begin this summer and continue into the fall. After gutting and bidding for architects and builders, the actual renovation will begin in the winter. The accelerated project was due in part to the Men's Basketball team winning the NCAA National Championship. Self had said in some press conferences that he wanted the University to attract other good players. "Coach Self speaking of that accelerates it without a doubt," Robertson said. She said that Self's desire to see enhanced facilities "happily coincides" with housing's desire to renovate. When Tower A is opened, athletes will definitely live in it. Robertson said. Robertson said that housing would work with the Jayhawker Towers Tenant Association next fall to decide who would live in Tower A. After Tower A has been renovated, GSP will be next in line. Corbin, the other girls-only residence hall, will not be completely renovated. It will be "restored," due to the historic nature of the building. After GSP is finished, Towers B, D and C will be renovated, in that order. Since Tower A housed mainly graduate students and is open year-round, not as much work has been done to keep it up as on the other Towers. The order is based off of how much work has been done since they opened. The Jayhawker Towers were built in 1967 by the real estate branch of Phillips Petroleum Company. Stanley Yearned, the CEO at the time, was a University of Kansas graduate with a degree in civil engineering. The University bought the Towers in 1981. No major overhaul has been done since they opened in 1967 under the Phillips Petroleum Company. Students who were assigned to live in Tower A next year will be dispersed to other Towers and have been notified. "We'll work very hard to make this a minimal disruption to folks." Robertson said. Tower B, which has been girls only, will now house grad students on the two lower floors. -Edited by Mandy Earles CAMPUS Damaged cable causes apartment tech outage BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE csoommerville@kansan.com Residents of Stouffer Place Apartments have been without phone or data service for about three weeks. Bill Myers, director of information services, said that a cable that was underground for a while and was damaged several times because of construction was responsible for the outage. The cable was spliced and repaired several times, and some of the splices failed when water seeped through the outer casing. Some parts of the cable were replaced entirely, and the new cable was expected to go "online" on Monday. Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said that the University did everything it could to help residents. She said the Burge Union computer lab was made available to all Stouffer Place residents, and residents were encouraged to bring their children. Stouffer Place houses non-traditional and married students. The University also made 27 cell phones with prepaid minutes available. Robertson said that a month's service would be refunded to residents affected. Residents were kept up to date through fliers on their doors four different times during the month. Myers said that although residents will not be charged for April, it will not show up on the bill until May 21. "Nobody likes being without service, but we've tried to provide some alternatives," Myers said. Myers said that he has heard mostly gratitude from Stouffer Place residents for what the University was doing.

Wildfire burning in foothills near Los Angeles sends at least 1,000 residents fleeing. Darkness didn't keep firefighters from continuing to gain ground Monday on a 400-acre wildfire they have been battling all weekend near Los Angeles. It just meant a change in tactics. "The hand crews are still making progress against the flanks of the fire;" Cliff Johnson, fire information officer for the Angeles National Forest, said early Monday. "(But) no aircraft All of Sierra Madre's schools have canceled Monday classes, and the early season wildfire forced the evacuation of at least 1,000 people from their homes in the foothills. Authorities said no homes have burned. About 500 firefighters attacked the blaze, aided during the daytime by two helicopters and water-dropping air tankers, said city of Sierra Madre spokeswoman Elisa Weaver. "This is pretty serious," Weaver said. "Some of these areas have not burned in over 40 years." Associated Press Signing up for new services?

Her father worked as a ranch hand in Corona, N.M., and her family was tired of being separated. They tried several times before they made it into the United States for good. Once, her mother paid a guide to help them across. He was supposed to get them to Alejandra's father, but the guide left the mother and two young children in some bushes just past the border highway between Mexico and the United States. Rather than trusting another guide, they took a bus on their next attempt. Alejandra's aunt and cousins joined them and they changed their names before they rode across the border. They thought they had made it when they got to El Paso, Texas. Then the bus stopped in a small town in Texas where officials told her family to get off the bus. They were held in a county jail cell until they could be deported. Alejandra said the sheriff fed them microwaved burritos. "I'm like, 'Dang it, just because we are Mexican doesn't mean that we love burritos.' Alejandra said. "They could have fed us something else. I just remember thinking, 'God this is like the worst stuff that I've ever had.'" Alejandra said her family left Mexico out of necessity. Her father tried to get work in Mexico as a mechanic but couldn't earn enough money to provide for the family. He started going back and forth between Mexico and the United States, working as a migrant ranch hand. He would spend eight months away and four months with the family. Alejandra said her family grew tired of being separated, so they decided to move to the United States so they could be together year round. Judy Ancel, director of the Institute for Labor Studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, said a lot of families emigrated from Mexico, legally or otherwise, out of necessity or economic desperation. She said globalization took a hard toll on Mexico, and the cost of living rose sharply after the implementation of NAFTA, while wages remained stagnant. She said one person would have to work 48 hours a day at the minimum wage in Mexico, barely $5 USD per day, in order to earn a living wage. "We are talking about real hunger and desperation of Mexican families," Ancel said. "People don't voluntarily split up their families in order to eat. They do it when they have to" Alejandra's family lived in a one-room house in Chihuahua, Mexico before they immigrated. She said they lived in poverty, and that she and her brothers were not allowed to go out by themselves because of gangs. A gang burned the house to the ground shortly after the family moved to the United States, erasing all the photos and physical childhood memories from Mexico save for the blue plaid blanket Alejandra's grandmother wrapped her in before she crossed the border. Alejandra said many of the students she encountered were offended and confused by the language of the immigration debate. "When they say 'illegal immigrant' I feel like they are saying that this person is illegal." Alejandra said. "I think it's just a little too harsh to be using, especially if you are a student or a kid who doesn't really know what's going on and you are being referred to as illegal." Eric Haas, senior fellow at the Rockridge Institute, a non-profit group in Berkeley, Calif. that analyzes political rhetoric based on cognitive science, said people tended to link social problems to illegal immigration. "If we have unemployment it's because immigrants are taking jobs; if there are environmental issues, it's because immigrants are using resources," Haas said. Haas said that if the "illegal immigration problem" was called something different, different solutions would be possible. He suggested the term "economic refugees" would better describe the vast majority of people who are desperate enough to risk their lives and leave everything they have to come to the United States. "When they say illegal immigrant'I feel like they are saying that this person is illegal." "How we think about things changes by the language we use." Haas said. He said the solutions to those problems were jobs with livable wages and proper environmental laws, not mass deportation and expensive border walls. "If we could secure the borders in Iraq, we would do that," Hass said. "If we can't do it there, we aren't going to be able to do that here. I can't think of a wall in history that worked." The terms "illegal immigration" and "illegal alien" create subconscious stereotypes and overemphasize the criminal activity of immigrants, Haas said. There are differences between criminals and lawbreakers. For example, we don't call joywalkers illegal walkers; we don't call speeders illegal drivers. Alejandra said that every time her family was caught or sent back, it gave them more motivation to get back into the United States. She said the last time they crossed the border, they went before a judge who told them to stop going back and forth or they would never get residency in the United States; so, her family stayed in the United Sates until they got legal documentation. THE (IL)LEGAL DEBATE Under President Ronald Reagan, Alejandra's father was granted amnesty in 1986. Alejandra, her mom and little brother then began the process to get legal status in the United States, because they now had a family member with legal status in the country. She might not ALEJANDRA Harvest of Hope recruiter have had the same opportunities for legal status had she started her application today. Lauren Reinhold, an immigration lawyer in Lawrence, said there were limited forms of relief for undocumented immigrants today. She said the limited number of visas made it more difficult to enter the country legally, and family members would just cross the border illegally because it was easier and faster. "They are just scared." Reinhold said. "They are just hoping for change in the law. They are not trying to put one over on America; they are not trying to be illegal. They migrated for whatever reason, usually for economic reasons." She said her heart broke for the people who came to the United States as children with their parents. She has had several young adults come in to her office for whom she can't help. "There are people everywhere in that situation," Reinhold said. "It might not always be the people you expect. It may be someone who speaks accent-less English because their parent brought them here as a child." Alejandra has no accent. She goes by the name "Alex" to her colleagues. And when she is out recruiting, some students are surprised that she speaks Spanish, like the kids making jokes at Ulvsses. "I'm not the typical Hispanic immigrant girl from western Kansas," Alejandra said. "I get a lot of phone calls, and I talk to a lot of students that say 'I'm undocumented, and my teachers are telling me that I can't do anything.'" Reinhold said immigration reform should focus on the people. "We need to pass a reform to alleviate the concern of undocumented immigrants," Reinhold said. "We need to give them a chance to become documented. It's the only thing that will fix it." Congress tried and failed to pass immigration reform at the federal level. Now many states, including Kansas, are working to pass reform at the state level. The Kansas Immigration Enforcement and Reform Act has been making its way through the Kansas Legislature in the 2008 session. House Bill 2836 and Senate Bill 458 were the first immigration reform bills considered by the Kansas Legislature. The bills required business owners to check the immigration status of employees, allowed state and local authorities to enforce federal immigration law, revoked in-state tuition for undocumented students, and prohibited undocumented immigrants from receiving state services. HB 2836 died in committee in early February. SB 458 was referred to the House Federal and State Affairs Committee for amendments before the legislative session recessed for spring break. State Representative Lance Kinzer (R-Olathe), one of the sponsors of HB 2836, said reform was needed because Kansas was a magnet for undocumented immigrant workers. "The bottom line is that, when people come here in violation of existing laws in the United States, it is particularly unfair to those who are taking time and effort and patience to go through the law that we have set up," Kinzer said. "There is room to criticize existing law, but the fact that it may be frustrating in some ways is not an excuse to ignore it." Kinzer said he voted against the reform after it was gutted by the committees, saying it no longer included meaningful immigration reform. One of his main complaints was the omission of e-verify, which would have required employers to use a federal database to check employees immigration hiring. He was also concerned about prohibitions against the removal of in-state tuition and state services, and the remittance of strong penalties for anyone who violated immigration laws. The bill went through to the Committee on Federal and State Affairs for amendments just before the session was dismissed for spring break. The Kansas legislature reconvenes Wednesday to decide the final language of the bill and vote on it. Senate Bill 329, a compromise bill between the two original pieces of legislation, was blocked by a 57 yea to 59 nay vote, with the majority republicans voting against it. When the legislators reconvene, SB 329 will continue in the House conference committee then go back for a final vote. Kara Lineweber, public policy associate at El Centro Inc., an organization that addresses the needs and seeks to improve the lives of Kansas City's Hispanic residents, lobbies in Topeka to educate senators about the unintended effects the reform could have on the immigrant population in Kansas. She said the issue was complex; the biggest issue was a lack of communication about the benefits immigrants bring to the state of Kansas. "I think emotions are so high right now and this debate is so highly charged, people are getting tidbits of information and running with them." Lineweber said. "People are craving an answer to the problem." Lineweber said she was pleased that the leadership in the Kansas legislature had not made a hasty decision. A lot of immigrant families in Kansas are of mixed status; for example, a husband who had legal status, a wife who didn't and a child who was a citizen. She said if the final bill were punitive, there could be a mass exodus of immigrants to some other state, similar to what happened in Oklahoma after the state passed its own immigration reform. She said the issue should be dealt with at the federal level. "There is a lot of hateful rhetoric, stereotyping and misjudgment," Lineweber said. "It really affects the solidarity of our community and it is hurtful to the immigrant community."

The left photo shows three children in a playground, playing with a large swing. They appear to be enjoying their time, possibly during a break from school activities. The right photo depicts a woman sitting on a bench, surrounded by trees and a building, possibly in an urban park or a residential area. She is holding a baby in her arms and seems to be in a relaxed posture. Both photos capture moments of everyday life and leisure activity. "They were going to build this park and then they didn't because they wanted to keep the Mexican kids out," Alejandra said. Ed Hayes, director of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps Heart of America Chapter in Kansas City and surrounding areas, testified for the immigration reform bill. He said Kansas had "magnets" that drew undocumented immigrants, and that employers and landlords should be fined or arrested if they continued to break immigration laws. He said one of the sponsors of the original legislation was a member of the Minutemen, but he refused to identify that Kansas legislator. Hayes said some of the cost associated with undocumented immigrants included social services and education. He also said undocumented immigrants were killing Americans by bringing in diseases and by drunk driving. "At least the American (drunk driver) is supposed to be here," Hayes said. "The illegal is not supposed be here. If the illegals weren't here, it wouldn't happen; these people would all be alive and their families would still have them." THE DREAM Alejandra's family started the immigration process soon after her father was granted amnesty. They were almost completely through the process when Alejandra was in high school, but the paperwork was lost in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services system. The family had to start the process again from scratch. Alejandra finally got her green card in December, 1998, just six months before she was to graduate high school. Alejandra told her guidance counselor that she wanted to go to the University of Kansas after graduation. She said she had dreamed of going to the University since she moved to Kansas in fourth grade and saw the Jayhawk mascot. The counselor discouraged her — and other Hispanic students — from going to the University, Alejandra said. He told them they were better off going to community college or getting a job at the local meatpacking plant. Alejandra didn't take his advice. She enrolled at the University anyway. But she had a hard time once she arrived in Lawrence. She was eligible for financial aid, but she wasn't aware at the time that it was available. She took out loans and maxed out credit cards. Her parents ate only beans and rice for months to save enough money to help her pay for school. Her mother took a job teaching English as a second language. "Coming up here, a primarily white school — it was a great experience but it was very, very, very hard for me," Alejandra said. She uses her experience as an example for the students she recruits to Harvest of Hope. "I just want to show them that it's never OK to quit," Alejandra said. "Even if you do go to an American college and you can't work after that here in the United States, well, you can go back to Mexico or whatever country; you can work in another location." Alejandra has kept the blue plaid blanket her grandmother wrapped her in before she crossed the border. It sits on a mostly empty bookshelf when she is in her office. When she travels around Kansas to recruit kids for camp, she carries it in the backseat of her car. When she is home, the blanket rests on her bed. The blanket make her feel at home, reminds her of the long road she traveled to get where she is today. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring "It's a long journey," Alejandra said.

TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 2008 ENTERTAINMENT Vanity Fair photograph causes controversy LOS ANGELES —— Miley Cyrus is taking issue with a photo of herself that's going around, and it's not another amateur, truth-or-dare Internet snapshot — it's the handiwork of Annie Leibovitz. "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed." Cyrus said Sunday in a statement through her publicist. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about." The photos, appearing in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, were taken by Leibovitz, a renowned celebrity photographer whose edgy, silver-toned portraits have included subjects such as Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and a naked, pregnant Demi Moore. "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted," Leibovitz said in a statement released by Vanity Fair. "Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful." The Cyrus pictures accompany an interview with the 15-year-old pop star and her father, singer Billy Ray Cyrus. One photo in particular is causing the biggest stir: the teen idol is wrapped in what appears to be a satin bedsheet, looking over her shoulder with her back exposed. R ASSOCIATED PRESS "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created Singer and actress Miley Cyrus arrives at the 2008 CMT Awards in Nashville, Tenn., on April 14. to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines"a network statement said. The Disney Channel, which airs Cyrus' TV show "Hannah Montana," was also critical of Vanity Fair. "Miley's parents and/or minders were on the set all day,"the magazine said.

BEN COHEN There was a glut of seemingly legitimate contenders and a few head-scratching dark horses, and it was great. That many people, even if it was obvious early on that most of them wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in Hawaii of getting more than their mothers to vote for them, made it interesting early. However, many of the primaries are now out of the way. All of the fringe hopefuls from both major parties have faced reality and dropped out of the race. The Republicans have found their candidate in a revitalized John McCain, and the Democrats have theirs in Barack O... Wait a second. Okay, scratch that, apparently the Democratic Party has found their candidate in Hillary Clin... What, not her either? But they are both still in the race. And it's late April. The other party has their guy, and they are already speculating on who his running mate will be. By now, both parties would usually have their candidate set and ready to go. The remaining primaries, as well as the official announcement that this person is the party's new candidate at the National Convention would be formalities. The real campaign could begin. The magic number for a Democrat to automatically have the party's nomination is 2,025. That's in both delegates and super-delegates. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party still has two people in the race, and apparently voters have found plenty to like about both of them. For those who are confused by the term, a "super-delegate" is just like a regular delegate, but super-delegates wear brightly colored tights and capes. Either that or they are elected officials and representatives from various organizations affiliated with the Democratic Party. But it's April. This ordinarily does not happen this late in the campaign. Even though Obama has the lead, it is relatively small, and there is still the potential that Clinton could surpass him. Combining the two kinds of delegates, Barack Obama has 1,719,following the Pennsylvania primary,and Hillary Clinton has 1,586. As an Obama supporter myself, I'm crossing my fingers DELEGATE COUNT DELEGATE COUNT NEEDED TO WIN 2,025 Obama 1,719 Clinton 1,586 that he'll be the one to make it out of the contest, and the delegate margin is just big enough that he could survive in the lead until the Democratic National Convention in August. There is still room, however, for Clinton to pull ahead, with upcoming primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. The likelihood that she would pull ahead because of them seems slim, though, as according a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll, Obama has the advantage in North Carolina, and the two are neck-in-neck in Indiana. He and the Republican Party can come up with a catchy slogan, a campaign song and all the various shallow things that seem to get people to pay attention to political campaigns. Even after Clinton's win in Pennsylvania, she took only three more delegates from that contest than Obama did. Unless Clinton can pull off a landslide victory in one of the two aforementioned upcoming contests, it is likely that Obama will hold onto his lead. Neither can get to the magic number at this pace, which leaves open the dreadful possibility that it really will take the Party until its convention to settle on a candidate. More importantly, he can line up a running mate, so by the time the Democrats will figure out whether they are pairing someone with Obama or Clinton, the Republicans will have a head start on promoting the McCain and Romney/Huckabee/Thompson/Giuliani/Rice/Mark Mangino (come on, you know you'd vote for him) ticket. Meanwhile, John McCain has all the time in the world to promote his candidacy now, no longer having to compete with the likes of Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney, who have made it a point to get behind him. I can't just say the remaining states need to get on with it and pledge their delegates to Obama. Democracy is a funny thing like that. Unfortunately, if the remaining primaries continue to be split, with only slight advantages to one candidate or the other, the Democratic candidate will only be finalized when there is very little time left to work. This will hurt the chances of whoever that candidate is and, ultimately, the Party itself. This delay practically guarantees McCain a victory in November.

Carbon dioxide soaks up the limelight as the big bad wolf of global warming, but its partner-in-carbon-crime, methane, might huff and puff and build up in our atmosphere first. Every day, one cow farts and burps 240 liters of methane. That's 120 two-liter bottles filled with silent-but-deadlies multiplied by the world's 1.3 billion cattle. Cows, cows, the musical food. The more you eat, the more we're screwed. A large source of atmospheric methane is from the world's cattle. It's the most inconvenient truth of all, Al Gore: Eating steaks and hamburgers is killing the planet Keith is a Wichita sophomore in journalism and environmental studies. She is the Kansan associate opinion editor. Whatever the solution, we can't keep farting around with such a serious problem. Not once in his 96-minute presentation did Gore mention methane. But methane is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide, and emissions have increased by 240 percent since 1994, when carbon dioxide has increased only 30 percent in the same time. (among other things). Scientists are attempting to correct the problem by altering the bacteria in the cow's stomach. But we are failing to address the real problem: our increasing consumption of meat. Not to toot my own horn, but becoming a vegetarian is a more sustainable lifestyle. I wouldn't dare suggest that everyone become a vegetarian, but saving meat for certain occasions may save the planet. All food can be made with meat substitutes or without meat. Global warming is playing its own version of natural selection by changing the types of plants found in Kansas. Plants resistant to droughts survive while native species die. If grazing animals refuse to eat these new plants, companies would move north to find suitable plants again, taking a devastating portion of Kansas' $7.3 billion agriculture industry with it. water-stressed aquifer. Feedlots, especially in western Kansas, forget that global warming will hurt them from rising temperatures but no extra rainfall. Warmer temperatures will force them to pull water from the already Eliminating beef from your diet may seem a little un-Kansan, but making up for that by eating locally grown produce should keep farmers in business. editorials around the nation Disaster relief will keep rural communities alive A well-designed housing bill crafted by state lawmakers was signed into law by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius recently. Originally prompted by the disaster in Greensburg and flooded areas of southeast Kansas, the legislation will allow communities to compete for $28 million over the next seven years to build homes. The program will concentrate initially on those areas struck by natural disasters to boost home-construction efforts. This in and of itself is enough to praise lawmakers who passed the bill. Anything that can be done to rebuild devastated communities is the right thing to do. While the financial aid is not staggering in its total amount, that expansion targets a perennial problem in small-town Kansas. It's not just enough to attract and retain businesses where residents can work. The communities also need to retain those workers — and affordable housing is a critical component of those efforts.

We agree that it's a step in the right direction. We also need to commend, again, both the legislative and executive branches of state government for making this happen. Too often it is easier to single out inaction or misguided efforts coming out of Topeka This Faith forum illustrates another side of politics The Hays Daily News Voters should be wary of politicians speaking about their faith. They're running for public office, after all, not Sunday school teacher. That said, religion is central to the lives of most Americans, and the candidate forum held recently at a Pennsylvania Christian college offered the two Democratic presidential contenders a chance to speak to issues of faith. It was thought-provoking to see the candidates grapple with moral questions that weigh on public policy, such as, "When does life begin?" why she's pro-choice. She was appropriately humble on other questions, such as why God allows innocent people to suffer. Hillary Clinton said she believed that "the potential for life begins at conception," although she went on to explain Barack Obama spoke to the need to welcome religious values in the public sphere, although he also argued that a president must recognize the diversity of faith in America. It was interesting that Obama said he would continue President Bush's White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, which has enlisted churches to help government tackle problems from hunger to teen pregnancy. But faith-based initiatives aren't a priority for most politicians, except at election time. If nothing else, the forum encouraged a little more compassion, humility and tolerance — values sorely lacking of late on the campaign trail.

The pictures were meant to educate students about their own bodies. "Sexy is ourselves," Elise Higgins, Topeka sophomore, said. "It is important to know what we look like all over." Each day of the week, Delta Force has a new definition for sexy, Monday was "Sexy is Yourself." "Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable coloring vaginas on campus, but maybe I should," John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said. Cross said that it was interesting to see how little people were willing to talk about sex beyond a joke. "A lot of people can't talk about it beyond your mom did something funny last night kind of comments," Cross said. Delta Force, which used to run as a student senate coalition, gave up its senate aspirations this semester and focused on two campus issues: Environmental Sustainability and Sexual Health and Safety. But sexy is not only defined by Delta Force. They have teamed up with a different organizations each day of the week to help them send a new message about sexuality. Brendan Shaw, Milwaukee, Wis., junior, said that sex was multi-dimensional. "It is something that people think they know a lot about." Shaw said, "but they miss out on many of the nuances and the fact that sex is complicated." Shaw said that a lot of students just simplified it down to whether or not they had a sex life. He said that many students didn't know what they looked like down there. "You have to know yourself before you can make decisions about other people," Shaw said. "Plus, sex isn't always with another person." On Monday, Queens and Allies showed a video called, "But I'm a Cheerleader," in which a cheerleader comes out as a homosexual. "We didn't want to exclude sexuality outside of what is considered the normative," Shaw said. Higgins said that much of the week's events stemmed from Dennis Dailey's Human Sexuality class that promoted communication about sex as an important step in understanding sex. "That is why we invited him to speak for 'Sexy is Communication' day on Tuesday." Higgins said that Delta Force realized that not all sexual experiences were positive. Sexy Week collaborates with groups such as The GaDuGi SafeCenter, Women's Transitional Care and the campus group One in Four because they felt that sexual responsibility should be a main focus of their campaign. "All of these organizations deal with issues where consent hasn't happened," Higgins said, "and it is so important to highlight that aspect of it." Higgins said if students could just open a dialogue about sex, they would learn valuable lessons. "Whether they are having sex or not, sexuality is a huge deal to all students at the university level," Higgins said. Andrea Peterson, Manhattan sophomore, colored a rainbow sexy week schedule Tuesday: Sexy is Communication Tuesday: Sexy is Communication Questions and Answers with Dennis Dailey 7:30 p.m. In The Hawks Nest, Kansas Union Wednesday: Sexy is Concnt Table on Wescoe Beach with information from 1 in 4 and the GaDuGi Safecenter Thursday: Sexy is Protection Get your condoms all week on Wescoe Beach Friday: Sexy is Fun "Sex, Lies and Chocolate" 12 p.m.in the Wheat Room Kansas Union vagina Monday. "Actually, it is just the inner lift that is rainbow," Peterson said. "I am not homosexual, I just thought it would be cool." Peterson said that she didn't learn much about sex in high school, so now she was learning about sex here. "Plus we have coloring books and condoms!" Peterson said. Students can pick up free condoms all week courtesy of The Watkins Health Center and Douglas County Aids Project, and the week will be topped off with "Sexy is Fun" on Friday, when they will have "Sex, Lies and Chocolate", a social event. "No one knows sexy better than Delta Force," Cross said, "and that is why we feel the need to educate the University." Edited by Mandy Earles J.A. VICKERS, SR. AND ROBERT F. VICKERS, SR.

Chastity Richmond, Waterloo Iowa, graduate student, is coordinating the week to train students in social justice and diversity. "Diversity needs to be continued and be something that is expressed every day," Richmond said. BY BRENNA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com "Things happen every day that people may not think is oppression," Porras said. "This is a chance to show students the types of oppression that exist in the world." Precious Porras, program associate at the Multicultural Resource Center, is coordinating the Tunnel of Oppression, which will take place on Wednesday and Thursday nights. She said this was the seventh year for the tunnel, which takes students through a multimedia and sensory experience of different kinds of oppression as they walk through the Multicultural Resource Center. Porras said the program covered issues of racial discrimination, sexual orientation, body image and genocide. She said she was also considering integrating immigration into the experience. At the end of the tunnel, counselors will be available to speak with students about their experiences.

With a seating capacity of 40,785, Kauffman is large enough to hold Price's hometown of Sweet Home, Ore., nearly five times over. Hail a continent away from where his coaching career began a part-time high school coach, Price is at his "dream-come-true job." Along the way, he's accumulated 80 victories as a head coach, 400 victories at the Division I level, and is on the verge of winning his 200th game at Kansas. By today's standards, his path to becoming a Division I coach in a major conference was anything but typical. However, Price made it his destiny to coach at the highest collegiate level. He worked the graveyard shift at a mill to pay for school while playing college baseball. He taught grade school children to supplement his income when he first became a coach. And, time and time again, he's taken over programs that nobody else wanted. But after six stops — leaving each program in better shape than he found it — Price is trying to build a baseball power where everyone told him he couldn't. Everyone except his family, who have been at his side every step of the way. "I think I had the same dream every young kid in America has; I wanted to be a Major League Baseball player and when I was done doing that, I wanted to be a coach." Price said. Growing up in a small logging community in central Oregon, Price seemed to have a baseball influence in his life for every mill that was running in Sweet Home.

His grandfather was a high school coach in Washington, and both of his uncles were high school coaches. From his father in particular, Price discovered his enthusiasm for baseball, accompanying his dad to the ballpark from the time he could walk. Price pursued his professional dreams as a middle infielder. Although the MVP awards always eluded him, his nonstop hustling earned him every other possible accolade. As a result, even after tearing his ACL and MCL in the final day of two-a-days during football season while in high school, Price was able to carry on his baseball career at Linn-Benton Community College under coach Dick McClain. There, Price was an All-Oregon junior college selection his freshman year and was recruited by the University of Oregon his freshman and sophomore years. But during his sophomore season, Price was taken out at second base turning a double play and blew his knee out again, ending his hopes of playing at a major university. Still, in 1996, he was inducted into the Northwest Athletic Association of Community College Hall of Fame, in recognition of his playing days at Linn-Benton It certainly wasn't the University of Oregon, but Willamette University looked past Price's knee injuries and provided him an avenue to not only wrap up his playing career, but also begin his coaching career. "I think you realize if you're 5-foot-8, you better be a plus-plus runner to be a professional baseball player," Price said. "At that point I knew I was going to be a good college player and I needed to prepare to coach." While at Willamette Price began coaching an American Legion team during the week, when he wasn't playing for the Bearcats or working the graveyard shift at the local mill to pay for school. While getting a jump-start on his coaching career, Price met his future wife, Cindy, at Willamette Price landed his first coaching gig right after he graduated in 1978, but he had to wait four more years to win Cindy's hand in marriage.

NFL Draft offers appear less 'epic' for former Jayhawks BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Last weekend represented a major victory for Kansas football. Five former Jayhawks found their way onto NFL payrolls, four via the draft. Twice as many ex-Jayhawks were selected in the draft than had been taken in the past five years combined. The program produced a first-round pick for the first time in 15 years. Because of these individual triumphs, becoming a Kansas Jayhawk probably looks much more attractive to a high school prospect bent on a pro career. Saturday and Sunday should have been even more epic for Kansas, if not for the unfortunate flaws of the NFL Draft system. In the months and weeks leading up to the draft, analysts picked apart Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib. Experts lambasted his tendency to take risks in coverage, second-guessed his ability to make tackles at the line of scrimmage, and questioned his speed based on one piece of film — Kansas State receiver Jordy Nelson's infamous torching of Talib. When published reports said Talib had failed three drug tests during his Kansas career, draft prospectors panicked. Scouts and talking heads latched asterisks and red flags to Talib's name just because the star cornerback told NFL team personnel the truth: He used marijuana more than two years ago, and had since changed his habits. Talib didn't find his way into the top 10 picks. Instead, he fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the 20th pick, and wasn't even the first cornerback taken. As a refresher, Talib is long (6-foot-2), sturdy (202 pounds), speedy (4.45 second 40-yard dash) and über-athletic (10-feet, 11-inch broad jump). For what it's worth, he was also a consensus first team All-America selection, the Orange Bowl MVP and an All-Big 12 first team selection. The fans who packed Memorial Stadium to see Talib can vouch for his talent, and Kansas coach Mark Mangino served as a valuable character witness for his star early in the 2007 season. "He's developed some good, strong leadership qualities that we were hoping for," Mangino said. "He had to grow as a person and mature as a person, and he's done that." Despite the slight draft stock slip, Talib's collegiate career had a happy ending. He should take his star power seamlessly from Lawrence to Tampa Bay and rake in boatloads of money as a productive NFL defensive back. For the Jayhawks' best defensive player, however, the NFL Draft didn't go as well. Count former Kansas defensive tackle James McClinton as a casualty of the NFL Draft. The Garland, Texas, native became a terror in the trenches during his senior year. He notched 39 tackles and created havoc in opposing backfields on nearly every play from scrimmage. Nonconference opponents Southeastern Louisiana and Toledo left McClinton alone in one-on-one matchups. He made 14 tackles and a sack in those two games. Teams started wising up to Kansas' big man in the middle by midseason, bringing double- and triple-teams to slow his Weathered by double-teams and hobbled by a leg injury, McClinton struggled through the team's last few games, making just six tackles in five contests. His lingering limp and a poor showing at the NFL combine conspired to drop McClinton out of the draft completely. NFL teams have reportedly contacted the ex-Jayhawk about signing a free agent contract, but it's a shame the player who earned so many double-teams couldn't immediately catch the eye of a pro franchise. Sure, college football isn't perfect. The BCS system is broken and the powers-that-bear always seem to put dollars and cents ahead of common sense. But relish the few fall Saturdays filled with the amateur game, because it's better than the pro product pushed on sports fans every Sunday. rushes.

Riley resigned as coach Monday but remains team president. Spoelstra, a 37-year-old assistant, will succeed Riley and become the NBA's youngest current coach. Miami coach calls it quits BY TIM REYNOLDS ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI—Pat Riley's worst season as coach of the Miami Heat will be his last. The Hall of Famer resigned as coach Monday but remains team president. Erik Spoelstra, a 37-year-old assistant, will succeed Riley and become the NBA's youngest current coach. Spoelstra has never been a head coach at any level outside the NBA's summer league. Miami finished the season with the NBA's poorest record (15-67) and, by far, the worst of Riley's 25-year career. "I look forward to the challenge," said Spoelstra, who received word of the decision over the weekend. As president, Riley will continue overseeing the plan to rebuild a franchise that's just two years removed from a championship. after deciding that he'd best benefit the franchise by working exclusively from the front office. The on-court duties now belong to Spoelrau, who started in the Heat video room in 1995. "While we are always looking for NBA talent to perform on the court, the most important talent that you may find has to perform on the bench, in the locker room, late at night, watching film, motivating and executing." MLB Clemens addresses his relationship with singer (1) Alison J. Cunningham Ian Fletcher Roger Clemens denied that his relationship with country singer Mindy McCready was inappropriate in response to a Daily News story Sunday. The story said Clemens and the singer were involved in a 10 year relationship. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox ace, the Daily News reported. Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed a long-term relationship but told the newspaper it was not sexual. "Mindy McCready is a longtime family friend of Roger Clemens and the Clemens family," Hardin said in a statement Monday. "At no time did Roger engage in any kind of inappropriate or improper relationship with her. It is unfortunate that the Daily News has chosen to report anonymous allegations that are completely unfounded, have no basis in fact, and have nothing to do with Roger's baseball career or the issue of steroid use in baseball." The story, which appeared on the newspaper's Web site Sunday night and in editions Monday, quoted several people who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation. McCready's lawyer, Lee Ofman, said he did not have any comment on the Daily News story. Clemens was 28 and a married father of two when he first met McCready, the newspaper reported. The story could undermine Clemens' reputation, which is central to the defamation suit the former pitcher has filed against former personal trainer Brian McNamee. McNamee contends Clemens used performance-enhancing substances during his major league career. The newspaper said Clemens sent cash to McCready to help her with legal issues and reached out to "If true, it's just another example of Roger's pervasive prevarications which will be at the core of any defamation case," said McNamee's attorney, Richard Emery, in an email to The Associated Press. her when she was in jail last year in Tennessee. The 32-year-old McCready was sentenced last September for violating probation from a 2004 drug arrest and was released from jail last Dec. 30. The violation occurred in July when McCready was accused of scuffling with her mother and resisting arrest. ROWING Hawks fall to Golden Gophers in regatta The Kansas rowing team bussed up to Minnesota expecting their most difficult regatta of the year against a seasoned and ranked Minnesota Golden Gopher squad. Minnesota brought those expectations to reality, rowing to victories in all seven of the races. The Golden Gophers came into the match ranked 16th in the nation. The race began a day prior to what was scheduled because of weather conditions. Instead of a Saturday morning start, the regatta began on Friday night, as a storm was predicted to move in over the weekend. "It's tough to get off a long bus ride and go race," coach Rob Catloth said. "And we were racing one of the top teams in the nation. We did the best we could under the circumstances." The novice boats rowed the closest to their respective Golden Gopher opponents. The First Novice Eight continued its impressive season with a loss by 3.7 seconds. Their time was only 5.1 seconds slower that Kansas premier First Varsity Eight. The Second Novice Eight came within 7.7 seconds of beating Minnesota's Second Novice Eight. The First and Second Varsity Eight reached the finish line with times of 6:44.1 and 6:57.3. Others that raced included the First Varsity Four, the Second Varsity Four and a Third Novice Eight. The Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas for the Big 12 Invitational on Sunday where they compete against Kansas State and Texas, two teams that Kansas has already faced in the spring. Catloth believes his team's speed has increased and will now get the chance to see if their improvement can help them beat two teams that bested Kansas earlier this season.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 2008 SPORTS 3B 》TENNIS Kansas defeats Iowa State falls to Colorado in post season THE BAYERN HOME OF THE TENNIS PROGRAMME Elizaveta Avdeeva, Obninsk, Russia, senior, swings at the ball. The No. 1 doubles team of Avdeeva and junior Edina Horvath lost seven straight games and fell 8-2. BY ALEX DUFEK Adufekkansan.com KANSAN FILE PHOTO History repeated itself twice during the Kansas tennis team's Big 12 tournament run last week. After defeating Iowa State 7-0 in the regular season finale on April 20, the Jayhawks swept the Cyclones again Thursday, this time 4-0, in the opening round of the conference tournament. Unfortunately for the Hawks, their outcome against fourth-seeded Colorado wasn't any different than the regular season meeting. After sweeping Kansas, 7-0, during conference play on March 5, the Buffaloes outmatched the Jayhawks again in the Big 12 tournament, winning 4-0, and dashing Kansas' tournament title hopes. "I thought we played very well against Iowa State and we competed hard," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "Playing Colorado the match was pretty close and I thought we came out and put everything we had out there. Colorado just played very well." The Jayhawks held steady with Colorado early on in doubles play. The No.1 doubles team of senior Elizaveta Avdeeva and junior Edina Horvath jumped out to a 2-1 lead, but struggled from that point on, losing seven straight games and falling 8-2. It was an off day for the No. 2 team comprised of junior Kunigunda Dorn and senior Lauren Hommell the two were never able to get things going and as a result fell 8-0 to Colorado's Melisa Esposito and Franziska Jendrian. The No. 3 doubles tandem of junior Yuliana Svistun and freshman Magdalena Tokarczyk came out strong and gained the early advantage in their match. Swistun and Tokarzyk led Colorado's Abbie Probert and Gleisy Torres 6-5 when the match was stopped because the Buffalooes had already won at the top two spots and captured the doubles point. "I don't think anything exactly went wrong. Colorado just played hard," Hall-Holt said. "It wasn't that we weren't ready and that we gave up. Hands down, Colorado just played well." In singles play the Buffs proved to be too strong for the Hawks. Although Kansas again started strong in a few of the singles matches, they were unable to hang with Colorado down the stretch. Colorado quickly disposed of the Hawks by winning three singles matches in straight sets and leading every match in progress when the dual was called. Hommell was the only Kansas singles player to win a set on the day. Despite the disappointing finale to Big 12 play, this year's squad fared better than most Kansas teams in recent memory. Kansas' fifth place conference finish was its best since the 2001-2002 season. The Jayhawks won 10 matches overall on the season, which is a vast improvement compared to the four overall victories from just one year ago. The team also garnered numerous individual accomplishments on the year. Tokarczyk became the 10th player in school history to be named to the All-Big 12 singles team and Adeveea will graduate as the most winning Big 12 doubles player in Kansas history. Each member of the senior class, Hommell, Avdeveea and Stephanie Smith, were all named to the Academic All-Big 12 team. Hall-Holt said the higher finish in conference as well as the accomplishment of the senior class is something the team can be proud of this year. "I'm really proud of our seniors and what they put forth this year," Hall-Holt said. "With our underclassmen, I'm looking forward to next year and watching them develop and grow as well. —Edited by Nick Mangiaracina NFL Chiefs welcome first-round draft picks for 2008 season High-profile linemen hope to make it big in Kansas City ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Glenn Dorsey and Branden Albert jumped into a limo Monday and struck up an instant friendship.

We're looking forward to having an opportunity to go against each other and hang with each other off the field." Said Dorsey, an All-American defensive tackle from national champion LSU, "I'm real excited. I heard it's a great environment. I heard the stadium is amazing, that it's a great organization. I'm just excited to come and visit and get to work." ly didn't hit me until right now when I walked in this room," said Albert, an offensive lineman from Virginia taken with the 15th selection in the first round. "I'm with another first-round draft pick and this is my team now.I'm with this organization. It's starting to hit me right now." The first thing the two first-rounders did on Monday was chow down on some of Kansas City's famous barbecued ribs. Then it was time to start the get- "I'm with another first-round draft pick and this is my team now. I'm with this organization. It's starting to hit me right now." BRANDEN ALBERT Chiefs Offensive Lineman "We're going to go through it together," said Dorsey. "Instead of having everything being on one of our shoulders, we have each other to vent to, to get in fights and stuff like that. We might end up going against each other once or twice in practice. That makes it even better. I'm just looking forward to the opportunity. This works out for the better." The two do have much in common. They're both lineemen from high-profile college programs. They're both high first-round draft picks And they're both rookies who will be under the full glare of the spotlight while being counted upon to lead their team out of the wilderness.

When you bang against another guy, you respect how he plays football." pal and teammate is something else Albert is looking forward to. Then, once the normally contentious contract negotiations are done and the two are in camp they'll be counted on to anchor nothing less than the resurrection of a squad that lost a team-record nine in a row last year while finishing 4-12.

Price's college coach, Bill Trenbeath, had once roomed with the vice principal at Phoenix High School in Phoenix, Ore., so the school brought Price on board to be its head baseball coach. Even though it was a part-time job, Price turned down full-time offers in order to have the title of head coach at age 22. THE In addition to his duties as head baseball coach, Price served as an assistant football coach, a freshman boy's basketball coach for Phoenix High, and a grade school teacher. While at Phoenix High, Price won his first state championship — in football. Price coached at Phoenix High from 1979-81 and his plan was to move on to Southern Oregon State so he could embark on his college coaching career as an assistant. However, Southern Oregon State dropped its baseball program just before Price got there. Kansas (25-22) vs. No. 15 Missouri (29-14) Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Mo. 7 p.m. Scrambling to find a coaching vacancy, Price found one, but it was far from the Pacific Northwest. Price left baseball oriented Oregon to coach the worst baseball program in a football-crazed state. In January 1982, Price arrived in Jasper, Texas, nearly smack dab between Houston and Shreveport, La., and more than two hours away from both, to be the head coach of Jasper High School's baseball team and an assistant football coach. Jasper高 gave Price his first exposure to black athletes. The school had produced several black NFL players, but none were playing baseball. So, Price got his first experience as a recruiter. tonight's matchup "It was the first opportunity I had to coach black athletes," Price said. "I was coaching defensive backs, which obviously gave me a huge advantage to be able to recruit the best athletes. I ran two summer teams my first year and I recruited the best athletes on campus and I had 13 black athletes on my team my second year when we had the best record in the state." Price's stay at Jasper High was short-lived though. After two years there, Price returned to the West coast and reached the college ranks at the age of 27. But it came at a Starting pitchers So.

Price took over the baseball program at Menlo College, which had gone a combined 1-48 the two seasons prior to his arrival. The job was part time to boot. But Price was drawn to the small private school just outside of Palo Alto, Calif., because he couldn't resist returning to a baseball region with a more baseball-friendly climate. Price didn't even get through his first season before he began to second-guess his decision. "The AD told me during the interview process. 'If you come here, you're nuts. This will ruin your career,'" Price said. "I remember sitting in the dugout one day when wed won our sixth game, which was the most games theyd won in 10 years, thinking to myself, 'He was right. I just ruined my career.'" Two years later, as his team was setting a school record for victories, Price's outlook changed and before long, so did his morning commute. After the 1986 season, he was hired to coach at De Anza College in nearby Cupertino, Calif. "That was one of the best jobs in America," Price said. "I could have finished my career there and been completely satisfied." While Price's first son, Ritchie, was born during his time at Menlo College, his middle son, Ryne, was born during his transition from Menlo to De Anza, and his youngest son, Robby, was born during Price's second year at De Anza College. With a family to think about, Price settled in at De Anza. In his first extended stay at a school, Price got his first taste of sustained success. In eight seasons at De Anza College, Price won five championships. coaching record But when Price received a call from a Division I school, it was a call he couldn't ignore. Of course, of all the high profile baseball schools in California that could have been calling, this call was from Cal Poly, a school trying to make the transition from Division II to Division I.

Hired in 1994, Price had one year to prepare the Mustangs for Division competition and in 1995, Price led Cal Poly to a 21-29 record. Two years later the Mustangs were 37-21. Even though the boys had Price rushing between his team and theirs, they knew he preferred that to the alternative. They can't even imagine what growing up with Price would have been like if they hadn't chosen to play baseball. Looking back on it, Price can't believe how much different the process is today for coaches trying to coach at the Division I level. His journey to Cal Poly used to be the norm for coaches all over the West coast. Coaches were expected to pay their dues at high schools and junior colleges and the most deserving earned Division I jobs. "Hed probably kick us out of the house." Robby said. "Hed find a way no matter what, if we had practice or something, he'd schedule around it and youd always see him sneak in there, even if it was just for a couple innings here or there," Robby said. "Now days, it's almost impossible to go from junior college to Division I," Price said. "It's completely different from when I started 30 years ago." However, when Ritchie was in high school, his schedule conflicted the most with Price's, making it hard for him to receive the same attention his brothers received. "I'll be real honest, he probably saw me play five high school games in my career," Ritchie said. "He didn't get to see as many high school games as most dads get to, but I think he made up for it in college, considering he saw every game I played." The boys quickly understood the demands of being a college baseball coach, which made them all the more appreciative of the times Price saw them play. and later the Big West, Price also had to face the demands of being a father. During his eight-year tenure at Cal Poly, Ritchie, Ryne and Robby were beginning their own sprouting baseball careers. Along with the challenges of turning Cal Poly into a contender in the Western Athletic Conference, I baseball in a major conference, which ruled out his father's Cal Poly program. Then, the phone rang. "When I came here, I was advised by my best friends in the game that I was nuts if I took the KU job: 'You can't win there. The league's too good. The facilities aren't up to par with the Big 12.' Price said. On the other end of the line was Lee Ice, who was a member of the committee in charge of hiring the next baseball coach at the University of Kansas. The Jayhawks had been mired in mediocrity from 1996 to 2002, under coach Bobby Randall. In seven years with Randall at the helm, Kansas went 166-213 with only one winning season. Kansas needed a coach who had a bountiful recruiting pipeline he could tap into. It needed a coach who knew how to win. It needed a coach who could raise funds and promote the program. It needed a coach with experience rebuilding programs. Kansas needed Ritch Price. But didPrice need Kansas? But, for Price to be there for all of his eldest son's college games, the ideal situation had to fall in his lap. Ritchie wanted to play Division Price was happy at Cal Poly — he didn't even have a résumé ready when Ice called him — but he decided to hear Kansas out. In summer 2002 Ritchie was trying out for the USA Junior National Team in Joplin, Mo., so Price and his wife flew into Kansas City early to visit Lawrence before going to Ritchie's tryouts.

"I was really interested in the job once they told me that they wanted me. I was looking to end my career coaching in one of the four big conferences in America." Ritchie, though, was headed off to college anyway and having Price at Kansas would open up another possibility of where he could play college ball. As for Robby, "He just wanted to be wherever dad was going," Price said. "I admire my wife so much because she's the one who's given up the most." Price said. Cindy was a California native. Leaving for Kansas meant leaving all of her friends and family behind. Ryne was a junior in high school at the time. The last thing he wanted was to be uprooted and have to start over in a new high school. "I was kind of pissed" Ryne recalled. That visit sold Price on Kansas, but his family took some convincing. Ultimately, Price couldn't pass up the opportunity to rebuild one more program — one with the chance to be a factor in a major conference. On July 1, 2002, Price was officially hired as Kansas' baseball coach. The next step was figuring out the logistics of a coach having his son play for him. To unravel this dilemma, Price sought guidance from his colleagues who faced the same situation. He talked to about 20 college coaches whose sons played for them or played elsewhere. About three out of every four coaches whod coached their sons said it was one of the best experiences of their careers. It helped that Kansas wasn't a national powerhouse, so Ritchie wasn't going to have to deal with the kind of criticism he would have faced play- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 2008 SPORTS 7B KANSAS Weston White/XANSAN Senior Erik Morrison heads for home after exchanging a handshake with head coach Ritch Price after sending a shot over the left field wall.

So, with a hole in the depth chart at shortstop and Price's blessing, Ritchie followed his father to Kansas. Together, father and son began to build a foundation for the Kansas baseball program. Tom Kunis - Ohlone College Ed McCann - Centenary Lindsay Meggs - Indiana State Mark O'Brien - Santa Clara Mike Oakland - St. Francis HS Doug Robb - San Jose City College Rick Sabath - Fort Hays State At the top of Price's to-do list when he got to Kansas was making sure the players from the previous coaching staff still wanted to be Jayhawks. One player's father had called the school on a daily basis to get his son released from his scholarship so he could transfer. When Price arrived, he let the player go, no questions asked. For those who stayed, Price tried to create an atmosphere of togetherness and honored every senior who stayed by putting them on the lettermen list. With a roster stocked from his old stump grounds of California In Price's first season, Kansas compiled a 35-28 record, which would be the first of four straight 30-win seasons. Through three seasons, though, Kansas had yet to win a game in the Big 12 Championship and it missed the conference tournament altogether in 2004. But Price received vindication in 2006. old stomping grounds of California — including Ritchie, a senior, and Ryne, a sophomore — Price guided the Jayhawks to a 43-25 season. It was Kansas' best record since 1993 and the Jayhawks were one game away from their first winning season against Big 12 competition. Still, Kansas got the last laugh against conference foes when it swept the Big 12 Championship to clinch its first NCAA Regional berth since 1994. "The sense of accomplishment that day, I can't even tell you what that felt like." Price said. "That's the greatest day I've ever spent on the field. To take over a program that had had five straight losing seasons and to have people tell me, 'You can't do it there, you can't win at Kansas. They've never won at Kansas,' to be on national TV, to be in that Triple-A ballpark, to have beaten four consecutive top-25 teams, and to watch our players dog pile on that field was the greatest day I ever spent in coaching." Price's bliss on the field quickly overflowed off the field. Kansas was selected to play in the West Regional in none other than Corvallis, Ore., just over 30 miles from Sweet Home. While Price was preparing his team to face Hawaii in the regional, almost 200 friends and family members were adding their names to Price's personal pass list to see the coach's homecoming and the Jayhawks win their first game of the tournament, 9-6. "One of the great experiences for me that weekend was to have two sons on the field, to have my high school coach, my junior college coach, and my four-year coach all there to see my team play," Price said. "I think that was one of the greatest weekends of my life, to personally get a chance to tell an mouse, once again, "Thank you." Kansas dropped its next two games and was eliminated from the tournament, but a joyous spring continued for the Price family. In addition to Robby's Free State High School team winning the state championship, two days after Kansas' season ended, Ritchie was drafted in the 18th round of the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft by the New York Mets. After all Price and Ritchie had been through together to build up the Kansas baseball program, the day Ritchie was drafted was a special one for both father and son. "For any parent whose son plays, that's the culmination of everything they've watched their son do," Price said. The Mets released Ritchie in 2007, opening the door for him to continue following in his father's footsteps. Ritchie is now an assistant coach at South Dakota State and, since joining the Jackrabbit coaching staff, he now feels closer than ever to Price. "i probably talk to him a lot more now than I did as a player," Ritchie said. "I'll talk to him probably three times a week and ask him question on things and he gives me his input" Ritchie isn't the only success story to emerge during Price's time at Kansas. The last four years Kansas has had at least four players drafted. One such player was Don Czyz, who was drafted the same day as Ritchie. Czyz came to Kansas as a pitcher with an 84 mph fastball. He left as the best closer in the nation with a 94 mph fastball. Bo Czyz, Don's father, said Don was grateful to this day that Price stuck with him. "Coach Price, and he's said it before, guided him and said, 'Maybe you should go to a junior college and work elsewhere,' Czyz said. "And Donnie told him, 'I came here to Kansas and I'm going to stay in Kansas. If I can't play baseball here, I'm not going to play.' So, coach Price and coach (Steve) Abney worked very close and gave him that opportunity." Even Price's former players who found careers outside of baseball are leading productive lives. Former pitcher Kodiak Quick has taken over part of his father's business and former pitcher Ricky Fairchild is becoming a financial investor while former player Matt Baty is climbing the administrative ladder in the Kansas Athletics Department. For Price, there's nothing more rewarding than having his former players excel, regardless of the career path they follow. Two years ago, when Kansas last played at Stanford, 25 of Price's former players showed up to show him their children. Price said. "What you learn through the experience years later is that it isn't about the game, it's about the relationships within the game that make athletics so special." Since that magical 2006 season, PricehasreliedlessonhisCalifornian recruiting roots — although Robby, now in his sophomore season, has joined Ryne, a senior — and now puts more emphasis on recruiting the best players in Kansas and the surrounding Midwest. "When I first started coaching, I thought it was all about the game," However, Price has yet to reload his program with the caliber of seniors he had in 2006. Kansas didn't qualify for the Big 12 Championship last season and is in danger of doing the same this season. That hasn't kept Price from receiving national acclaim. This summer Price will serve as an assistant coach for the USA National Team during its summer tour.

Last fall, Price was rumored to be a candidate for the coaching vacancy at Oregon — located just 40 miles from Sweet Home — after the school reinstated its baseball program, which had been dormant since the 1981 season. Price said he was never contacted by Oregon and insisted that if he had it wouldn't have mattered. Since Lew Perkins became the Kansas Athletics Director in June 2003, Price has had no reason to consider leaving. If not for Perkins, Price said he already have left. Thanks to Perkins' shared commitment to fundraising, Price has been able to improve Kansas' baseball facilities dramatically. In 2005, an indoor hitting facility was built beside Hogland Ballpark. In 2006, a 16-foot-by-28-foot video board was added to the right field scoreboard. Next season, Kansas will move into its 6,500-square foot clubhouse, for which construction is already underway beside the first base bleachers. For Perkins, it hasn't been difficult providing funds to such a devoted coach. "I say this all the time and I absolutely believe it — coach Price is the best Division I baseball coach in the country," Perkins said in an email. "He is not only a great coach, but a great person. I knew from the start that he is exactly the person we want to be coaching Kansas baseball and I couldn't be happier that he's here." The numbers don't lie. Price has the highest winning percentage among Kansas skippers who have coached at least 100 games. He's two victories shy of No. 200 at Kansas and is on pace to move into second on Kansas' all-time wins list by 2010.

Men in their best suits and women wearing traditional high-waisted dresses waved flags and paper flowers in the capital, greeting the torch like a visiting head of state. Unlike some other parts of the relay ahead of the Beijing Olympics, everything went off without a hitch in North Korea. China is North Korea's main ally and a key provider of aid, and the torch relay was used to herald their ties. North Korea has condemned disruptions of the torch relay elsewhere, and supported Beijing in its crackdown on violent protests in Tibet. Leader Kim Jong Il was not seen at Monday's event, but he was "paying great interest to the success of the Olympic torch relay," Pak Hak Son, chairman of North Korea's Olympic committee, said at the relay start, according to a report from Pyongyang by Japan's Kyodo News agency. The torch began its run from beneath the Juche Tower, which commemorates the national ideology of "self-reliance" created by the late founding President Kim Il Sung, father of Kim Jong Il. An attentive and peaceful crowd watched the start of the relay, presided over by the head of Parliament, Kim Yong Nam. The torch goes next to Ho Cni Minh City, Vietnam.

She didn't yet know that she was on the front lines of the music industry's battle against copyright-infringing college students who download music for free rather than buying songs from the iTunes store or CDs from Best Buy. She didn't know that she, a college student receiving $20 a week for her job as a resident assistant, would soon hand over $4,000 to multimillion-dollar music corporations. And she didn't know that the University could have saved her $1,000 by telling her more than six months before that a lawsuit was pending against her, but didn't. Many of the college students who download more than one billion songs illegally each year through services such as LimeWire don't know that they may be entering the recording industry's bad-luck file-sharing lottery, where the prize is a copyright infringement lawsuit. Students whose numbers are called in this lottery must decide quickly whether to pay a settlement of $3,000 to $4,000 or to fight the lawsuit in court, an uphill battle that could cost thousands in legal fees. And universities such as Kansas must decide whether to help the record companies identify the students who have lawsuits hanging over their heads. THE UNLUCKY 13 Lacey Fisher's lottery number was called at 5:59 a.m. on June 23, 2007. That was when, according to court documents, the Recording Industry Association of America found her sharing 187 copyrighted music files over the Gnutella file-sharing network — the network used by the popular software LimeWire — including songs by Rihanna, Outkast and Fall Out Boy. Fisher was living in Oliver Hall, working as a conference assistant for the Department of Student Housing. But she wouldn't know of her fate until more than seven months after she was caught. It was Feb. 11 of this year, when Fisher checked her e-mail in her room in Corbin Hall, where she is an RA. She almost ignored the message with "Confidential" in the subject line but he decided she should read it. "I just wasn't expecting a subpoena about downloading music" she said. But that's exactly what she saw - a court order requiring the University to turn over to 13 record companies the names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of Fisher and 12 others accused of copyright infringement. A letter from a University attorney, attached to the e-mail and also sent to her home in Garden City, told her the RIAA had already filed lawsuits against the 13 students — or, at least, against 14 "John Does," because it did not know their names. The University found that two of the "Does" were no longer students, and two of the "Does" turned out to be the same person. Fisher's head immediately swirled with horror stories shed heard of people settling with the record companies for thousands of dollars, and she remembered hearing of one woman who had to pay more than $200,000 for just 24 shared songs. That woman, a single mother in Minnesota, was the defendant in the first U.S. file-sharing lawsuit to go before a jury. In the eyes of the record companies, Fisher was John Doe No. 9, though she preferred to go by Jane Doe. She also thought about all the people she knew whol illegally downloaded music, movies and TV shows and hadn't faced any consequences. "Then I got frustrated, real frustrated," Fisher said, "because it's like probably 90 percent, if not more, of people our age are guilty of this." Another of the 13 KU students sued by the record companies, John Doe No. 10 in the lawsuit, requested that his name not be used in this story. Doe No. 10, a Wichita sophomore, was detected sharing 114 music files April 21, 2007, while living in Oliver Hall. He said the e-mail informing of him of the lawsuit confused him at first. "At first, I didn't even know what it was, other than it was from the RIAA, and they didn't sound happy," he said. SEE DOWNLOADS ON PAGE 4A TIMELINE: THE KU RECORD INDUSTRY LAWSUITS Summer 2007 The Recording Industry Association of America sends 14 letters to the University, warning of copyright infringement lawsuits against unknown students. The University decides not to forward the letters on to the students, so they don't get the chance to settle for about $3,000 before the RIAA files the lawsuits. September 2007 A group of 13 record companies files lawsuits against the 14 unknown "John Does" accused of illegally sharing music on the KU Internet network. October 2007 A judge allows the record companies to serve the University a subpoena, requiring it to turn over the names and information for the "John Does." February 2008 The University receives the subpoena from the record companies, and it tells the students they've been sued – more than six months after the RIAA sent the original warning letters. The University finds that two of the "John Doe" lawsuits apply to the same person, and two of the students are no longer enrolled at the University. March 2008 Two KU students try to fight the record companies, asking the judge to throw out the subpoena sent to the University. April 2008 The judge denies the two students'motion to quash the subpoena. By now, seven of the 13 students have settled with the record companies for $4,000 each. The next step: After the record companies get the six remaining students' information, they will proceed with the lawsuits and offer an increased settlement of about $5,000.

A middle-of-the-night mystery that rattled and baffled residents for months may finally have been solved with police making a real-world arrest. Deafening blasts accompanied by blinding split-second flashes of light have been rattling residents of one neighborhood of this Baltimore suburb for months. Elaine O'Mansky says she has heard the noise 25 times since September, always between midnight and dawn. Barbara Friedman says the first time she heard the blast she thought someone was shooting at her. Police officers Vickie Warehime and J. Posluszny Jr. said the department set up cameras and recorded the phenomena last week, but didn't detect anyone in the area. The recorded flash lit up an area the size of a football field. A Baltimore County Police spokesman, Cpl. Mike Hill, confirmed Tuesday that someone had been arrested in connection with the mystery, but he could not immediately provide any details.

"Everyone sees them, so they think I'm raising them," he said. The fight started Saturday night after a reception when he knocked her to the floor with a karate kick in the seventh-floor hallway of a Holiday Inn, according to police. It escalated when she attacked two guests from another wedding party who came to her aid, police said. Instead, Hyranyaz said the little critters get to stay at his apartment only for a day or so before he transports them to his farm in Binghamton."I got bunnies. I got chicks. I got geese.

Eyebrow design may represent gang activity PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland high school is raising eyebrows with its brow grooming policy: shave 'em or go home. Centennial administrators are telling students with the lines that they can't return to school until they shave their eyebrows off. Assistant Principal Mark Porterfield said the students are not suspended, but they are not allowed in school until they cooperate. Some students at Centennial High School have shaved vertical lines into their eyebrows in a trend recently made popular by hip-hop star SoulaJoy. School officials say the mark looks like a gang symbol. Police say gangs have co-opted the trend for their own use, with one gang's members marking themselves by shaving one line into an eyebrow and three lines in the other to symbolize 13. "We don't dictate policy for any schools," Officer David Schmidt of the East Multnomah County Gang Enforcement Team said. "We just tell them what we see the latest trends are. This is a way for them to identify each other. In a school setting, it intimidates other kids." Four students have been sent home. One returned with a bandage covering the shaved brow. Andy Gonzalez, a junior at Centennial with one vertical line shaved down his brow, was studying for a test when a security guard approached him and said, "If you're going to come to school like that, don't come at all." Gonzalez, 17, says he isn't in a gang and shaved the lines to look cool and impress girls. But he says he'd be humiliated if he had to shave his brows off. Centennial implemented the rules about the eyebrows after other area high schools did, but other schools say they only look for the markings of the 13 style. As his bones show, Oscar was a tough customer, surviving a shotgun blast to the face, at least three bullet wounds, broken bones and arthritis. Gators have been known to live for decades, and by some estimates, Oscar was a particularly ancient 95 to 100 years old when he died last summer. Ancient swamp alligator immortalized in museum The skeleton of Oscar is being assembled and will be put on display like a museum dinosaur. The 14-foot, 1,000-pound alligator had roamed the swamp from the time the park opened in 1946. WAYCROSS, Ga. — The most famous resident of Okefenokee Swamp Park — an alligator that attracted the stares of tourists for decades — will soon be immortalized nearly a year after his death. The display also will include what park officials found in Oscar's belly — including a plastic dog collar, a dog's tag, a penny and the top section of a flagpole. "Some people think he's a statue," a tour guide, Danny Rowe, said of Oscar in 1996. "I tell people he's real, but I don't get paid enough to show them he's real." The Okefenokee is a 438,000- national Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Georgia that attracts 350,000 to 400,000 visitors a year. During the first years of the park's operation, alligator wrestling was a popular attraction, park officials have said. That ended in the mid- 1950s when, it is said, one of the gators rolled over on a park manager and broke the man's arm. Associated Press NEWS BRIEFS Bush says Congress 'let people down' WASHINGTON - President Bush, hoping to inoculate his party and his presidential legacy from election-year anger over the economy, heaped criticism on the Democratic Congress on Tuesday for "letting the American people down." He said he'd consider a summer suspension of federal gasoline taxes. But he offered no new ideas for a range of economic worries now facing the country, from record gas prices and soaring food costs to rising inflation, layoffs and home foreclosures, and a credit crunch that even has sparked fears of a college student loan squeeze. Instead, the president tried to shift the focus to Congress, saying he long ago sent lawmakers proposals to deal with many of the nation's economic problems, only to see them sit or be replaced with approaches that he deems unacceptable. He rejected a new economic stimulus package, saying the tax rebate checks that began going out this week from a $168 billion economic aid plan adopted in February must first be given time to work. He also rejected bipartisan suggestions that the government stop filling the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve while oil costs so much, saying it involves such a tiny amount of supply that doing so wouldn't push prices down. "Many Americans are understandably anxious about issues affecting their pocketbook," Bush said in a White House news conference, held outdoors in an unseasonably cold and windy Rose Garden. "They're looking to their elected leaders in Congress for action. Unfortunately, on many of these issues, all they're getting is delay." Sex tape allegedly stars Jimi Hendrix LOS ANGELES — Vivid Entertainment is releasing a sex tape allegedly starring Jimi Hendrix. The Los Angeles-based adult entertainment company said they obtained the sex tape from a memorabilia collector. The 11 minutes of footage, reportedly shot in a hotel room about 40 years ago, features Hendrix — or someone who looks like him — engaged in various sexual acts with two women. "This is somebody that looks like Jimi or is pretending to look like him, but it certainly didn't look like a dead-on match to me," Cross told The Associated Press during a telephone interview Tuesday. Cross said the face and nostrils of the man depicted in the video don't match Hendrix. He also said the man in the tape is wearing more rings that Hendrix was known to wear. The company said they consulted with experts to authenticate the footage. But Charles R. Cross, author of the Hendrix biography "Room Full of Mirrors" has seen the film and doubts the man is Hendrix.

Copies of the game have sold out in stores across Lawrence. Sounds of gunfire filled University residence halls, apartments and houses all over Lawrence Tuesday after the debut of the long-awaited and controversial Grand Theft Auto IV. The game's release meant big business for Lawrence retail stores. AJ Matthews, Wal-Mart employee, said Wal-Mart sold all 72 of its Xbox 360 copies in 30 minutes. He said half of the PlayStation 3 copies were sold. "The line went from electronics to almost out the door," he said. "I was actually one of them in line." Matthews said Wal-Mart would double its next shipment, which should be in by the end of this week. Kaitlyn Fairchild, an Overland Park freshman and Hastings employee, said Hastings sold out of its PlayStation 3 copies, but had 30 Xbox 360 copies left as of 6 p.m. on Tuesday. She said she had personally sold 15 copies in one hour. "Pretty much every five minutes someone comes in wanting one," Fairchild said. "I've personally had to turn away seven customers who wanted PlayStation 3 copies of the game." She said she wasn't sure when Hastings would restock its PlayStation 3 supply. Jeremy Tuggle, Target electronics team leader, said Target sold 55 of its 94 Xbox 360 copies and 12 of its PlayStation 3 copies. "We get a customer who wants one every three or four minutes," he said. Tuggle said he went to Target at 8 a.m. to buy his own copy so he could play it before he went to work. He said Grand Theft Auto IV was a little different than the previous games of its series, but he said it still had all the trademark aspects to it. "There's a multiplayer part to this one, so you can get online and play with your friends," Tuggle said. "Graphic-wise, it also looks a lot sharper than the previous GTAS." Insider Games News gave the game a 10 in every category: presentation, graphics, sound, gameplay and lasting appeal. According to IGN's Web site, the last game to receive an overall rating of 10 from IGN was Soul Caliber in 1999. Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird NATION Army barracks investigated after plumbing incident WASHINGTON — Army officials said Tuesday they are inspecting every barracks building worldwide to see whether plumbing and other problems revealed at Fort Bragg, N.C., last week are widespread. Brig. Gen. Dennis Rogers, who is responsible for maintaining barracks throughout the Army, told reporters at the Pentagon that most inspections were done last weekend but he had not seen final results. While not providing specifics about problems discovered during the weekend inspections, Rogers indicated some deficiencies were corrected. In cases where extensive repairs are deemed necessary, the soldiers in that housing would be moved elsewhere until the fixes are completed, he added. Rogers said it was too soon to know whether the Fort Bragg problem was an isolated incident. He acknowledged the revelations from a video shot by the father of an 82nd Airborne Division soldier showing poor conditions such as mold inside the barracks, peeling interior paint and a bathroom drain plugged with sewage. Rogers said the Army's standard procedure is to inspect a barracks building to verify that it meets Army standards before it is occupied by soldiers returning from an overseas deployment. For reasons he was unable to explain, that apparently did not happen in the Fort Bragg incident. Chief Justice fields questions CAMPUS John G. Roberts Jr. visits campus tonight for the first time BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS chambersca.com fchambers@kansan.com Four students will receive the opportunity to question the Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. about his policies and possible Supreme Court cases this evening at the business school's annual Vickers Memorial Lecture. Two business students and two law students Roberts were selected by their the professors to ask the Chief Justice questions submitted by their peers. The students will also be allowed to ask a few of their own questions. Peter Curzon, Phoenix senior, and a business student who will question Roberts, said he would ask Roberts what role the Supreme Court would play in regulating interstate round of the law school's "Moot Court" competition. Steve McAllister, a professor of law and a former law clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas, said the University caught Roberts at a good time because Roberts was early in his tenure and still enhiusastic about visiting schools. "He just comes across as a very engaging, personable fellow who I think people will really like and students will really enjoy," McAllister said. McAllister said he would ask Roberts how it felt to take his boss's place and how his court differed from former Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist's court. Roberts clerked for Rehnquist from 1980-1981 when Rehnquist was the Associate Justice. "He (Roberts) comes across as a very engaging, personable fellow who I think people will really like and students will really enjoy." commerce through the Internet. STEVE MCALLISTER Professor of law Curzon said he was specifically interested in finding out how the court would regulate Web sites' abilities to use spyware on their users. Curzon said he expected this practice to be challenged in the Supreme Court in the future. Roberts, who was appointed to the Supreme Court to the Chief Justice position by George W. Bush in 2005, is the first Chief Justice to visit the University of Kansas. Roberts will also visit several business and law classes Thursday morning before judging the final Annie Van Allen, Clearwater junior and a business student who will also question Roberts, said she was unsure what she would ask the Chief Justice because she would serve as the voice of the business school. She said being selected for such an honor was very humbling. "It's an incredible opportunity that I feel very very blessed to have," Van Allen said. McAllister, who served on a committee with Roberts once, also said he was looking forward to becoming better acquainted with the Chief Justice during his visit. McAllister said he and Roberts had several mutual friends, which helped McAllister persuade the Chief Justice to visit the University.

It goes out and helps people in need. If you care, help them. Lacey Fisher, Garden City junior, has few songs in her iTunes library, thanks to a lawsuit filed against her by the music industry. Fisher, an RA t at Corbin Hall, erased all the music on her computer after being sued. The other RAs at Corbin bought her an iTunes gift card to help re build her collection. Jon Goerina/KANSAN DOWNLOADS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Doe No. 10 showed the e-mail to a friend's father, who told him it might be a hoax. Then, he took it to Legal Services for Students, where an attorney told him the record companies were trying to discover his identity and file a lawsuit against him. He immediately feared that the release of his identity as a known copyright infringer could hurt his chances of finding a mechanical engineering job after graduating. "I was pretty crushed," he said. But Doe No. 10 and Fisher had to overcome their shock that the recording industry was after them, and fast. They each had until March 5, about "I think I deserved to get in trouble for it. I don't know if getting charged $4,000 is exactly justice." A NATIONWIDE BATTLE University to reveal identities, and the judge granted the request in October. The University received a subpoena in February and, more than six months after first learning of the lawsuits, told the 13 students for the first time that they were being sued. By then, the RIAA's settlement offer had risen from $3,000 to $4,000. three weeks later, to choose their next step: Settle with the RIAA now, or hire a lawyer and battle a multibillion-dollar industry in court. Sweiring to herself out of shock and frustration, Fisher picked up the phone and called her mother. Since February 2007, the RIAA — which represents record companies that produce about 90 percent of U.S. music sales — has sent about 5,400 pre-lawsuit letters to students it accuses of infringing music copyrights while using university Internet networks. The letters warn their targets of an impending copyright infringement lawsuit and give a deadline for the accused file-sharer to settle with the RIAA before it files the suit. Lacey Fisher, John Doe No. 10 and the 11 other current and former KU students swept up in the record industry's lawsuits are targets in a campaign by the RIAA to deter campus copyright infringers by suing small groups of students at colleges nationwide. RIAA spokeswoman Liz Kennedy said the RIAA was conducting the lawsuit campaign to The students can settle for about $3,000 before the RIAA files a lawsuit, according to several university attorneys around the country who have met with students targeted in the campaign. JOHN DOE NO. 10 Wichita sophomore At that point, the RIAA knows only the Internet Protocol, or IP addresses of accused copyright infringers. An IP address is an identification number for a computer accessing the Internet. The RIAA asks the schools to identify the targeted people by their IP addresses and send the letters on to them. The University did not forward the letters on to the targeted students when it first received them in Summer 2007. Consequently, in September, the record companies filed the "John Doe" lawsuits and requested a court order to require the deter college students who illegally download music at high rates. She pointed to studies such as one from the market research company NPD in 2006 that found that college students, who made up only 10 percent of the general population, made up 28 percent of the people using file-sharing networks. The company also found that college students made more than 1.3 billion illegal downloads in 2006. Kennedy said the RIAA wanted to convince students that downloading music for free was not worth the risk of an expensive settlement. ASTORY TO TELL Fisher wasted no time telling her story to friends, family and nearly anyone who would listen, she said. "I just don't want to see it happen to everybody else" she said. Many of Fisher's family and friends, including avid music downloaders, stopped downloading music from file-sharing services after she told them about her run-in with the recording industry, she said. She told her boss at Corbin about her problem, as well as the other RAs. The RAs bought her an iTunes music store gift card to help her restock her music collection, which she had erased after being sued, she said. She called a meeting for students living on her floor and told them about her legal troubles. She said their shocked faces showed they got the RIAA's message: This could happen to anyone who illegally downloads. When Fisher called her mother immediately after she read the law-suit e-mail, she heard the expected "I told you so." But both her parents sympathized with her bad luck in being one of the few among millions of illegal downloaders forced to pay up, she said. "It got everybody pretty shook up" she said. "You kind of always think that, yeah, right, you're not going to get sued for music downloads," Fisher said. "There's people doing zero tolerance? Last summer, the University announced a new zero-tolerance policy for students caught illegally file-sharing on the KU network. However, the new policy has not been as strict as it may have seemed then. Along with filing copyright infringement lawsuits, the RIAA and other groups send notices to colleges and universities telling them an Internet user has been caught file-sharing, and the schools can decide how to react to the notices. The new zero-tolerance policy said that any student mentioned in one of these notices would have his or her Internet connection shut off. But Jane Tuttle, assistant to the vice provost for student success, said most students who have been caught have been able to appeal and restore their connections. She said she wanted the offending students to remove the files they were caught sharing and Stacey Pope, Topeka sophomore, said she was caught sharing an Avril Lavigne song in Lewis Hall earlier this year but was able to get her Internet restored with an appeal. She said she had downloaded in the residence halls because she thought the University was still using its old three-strikes policy. She said her roommate got caught file-sharing the previous year, and she just had to take an online quiz. make sure that the University would not receive a notice about them again. Fisher said she hadn't downloaded as much music as some of her friends, although she'd started using file-sharing services in eighth or ninth grade. far worse things." Tuttle said that, as of March 31, the University had denied only two of the 116 students who had appealed to reconnect their Internet under the zero-tolerance policy. The policy began Aug. 1. Doe No. 10 said he felt intimidated by the possibility of an RIAA lawsuit. Like most college students, he said he had never had any legal trouble before, especially against a "very large, very rich opposition" such as the RIAA. The settlement cost would have been $3,000 — $1,000 less — if it weren't for the University's decision last summer to stay out of the conflict between its students and the record companies. "I found out the punishment just wasn't severe at all," Pope said. "But then they cracked down on it this year." With the March 5 deadline approaching fast, Fisher asked her lawyer what she should do, and he told her she should settle out of court, avoiding court fees, lawyer costs and the possible release of her name and other private information. John Doe No. 10 said he usually kept his LimeWire music folder small, and court documents showed the RIAA detected him sharing 114 songs, roughly the contents of 10 CDs. He said he would sometimes go out and buy the music he had downloaded if he liked it. Doe No. 10 got the same advice from his lawyer: settle. They both had to pay $4,000 — no small sum for someone getting by on an RA's pay of a $40 check every two weeks. A COSTLY CHOICE When the University did not forward the RIAA's first letters to the lawsuit targets, the record companies filed lawsuits against the people who had used the IP The K. jumps after it Doe" lawsuits, according to attorneys from several universities from around the country. The University did not give its students a chance to settle before they became "John Does," costing them about $1,000 each. addresses, calling them "John Does" because it didn't know their names. The RIAA's settlement offer jumps after it has filed "John "Our viewpoint is that there needs to be a due process," Cohen said. "If they want that information, go to court." John Doe No. 10 said he wished the University had told him about the pending lawsuit against him when it first found out about it in July or August. "If they get something from an outside source that deals with students, the students should be one of the first to know," he said. "I mean, it's directly affecting them." Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said the University decided not to forward the original letters last summer based on the advice of its attorneys in the office of the general counsel. Cohen said other universities had also refused to forward the letters, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He said the record companies tried to get universities to identify lawsuit targets for them in an attempt to save time and money, and the University decided it should not act as the RIAA's agent. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Texas, each of which has received more than 150 of the RIAA's lawsuit warning letters, both immediately forwarded the letters on to their students. Attorney Raymond Schifflett, director of student legal services at Texas, who has advised many students who've been RIAA lawsuit targets, said it was in the best interest of students for universities to forward the RIAA's letters. "You kind of always think that, yeah, right, you're not going to get sued for music downloads. There's people doing far worse things." "It sounds noble on the front end, like, 'We're going to protect your privacy,' until you've realized you've suddenly lost a thousand dollars," Schiflett said. "Then it's not so nobel." Tom Keefe, an attorney in Nebraska's student legal services department, agreed that forwarding the pre-lawsuit letters was the better choice for students targeted by the RIAA. He said this gave students more time to decide what to do, along with an opportunity for a cheaper settlement. Patrick Knorr, general manager of private Internet service provider Sunflower Broadband in Lawrence, said Sunflower would "absolutely" forward a pre-lawsuit letter to one of its customers, as long as it was confident that it could correctly identify the user being targeted. Knorr said this would be in the LACEY FISHER Garden City junior best interest of the customer. Fisher said she received an e-mail from the University earlier in the school year telling her she'd been detected illegally sharing music files, but it did not tell her she was about to be sued. She said she wished the University had considered her interests more in its decision. "It's sort of shocking, because I kind of feel like they would rather protect the University as a whole than their students individually," Fisher said. James Potterff, University general counsel, declined to comment on the advice his office gave to the University. Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, who participated in the decision to act on attorneys' advice and not forward the letters, said she felt bad for the students who got caught by the RIAA, but the University had tried to do what was best. Tracy Mitrano, information technology director at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., said the "In a situation like this, sometimes there isn't an answer that meets everyone's needs in the best way possible," Roney said.

She said she understood the University's argument that it wasn't its role to help the RIAA identify lawsuit targets, but she said the decision could have difficult consequences. "It would be really hard, then, when a parent calls and they say, 'Why didn't you tell us?' Mitrano said. She said a university would do well to include students or student government in the decision whether to forward the letters, giving students all the information and asking them what would be best for them. "We're a small firm sitting here helping some students and the plaintiffs are pretty well-organized. This is a nationwide thing." "There is an administrative burden for the institution," Mitrano said, "but it's really the student that faces the music." FIGHTING BACK They may not have gotten to help decide the University's policy, but at least two of the 13 "John Does" have decided to fight the powerful record companies, at least for now. John Does No. 6 and 11 went to Lawrence attorney Karan Thadani after they found out about their lawsuits. Thadani went back to his law office and discussed with the other two attorneys there - his fiancée, Joni Johnson, and her father, John C. Johnson - whether to represent the two nervous college students being sued by a multibillion-dollar industry. They decided to go for it. John Johnson started the law office two years ago when he moved to Lawrence from the small central Kansas town of Hillsboro, where hed run a solo law practice for 33 years. He started the office with his daughter, and Thadani joined in September 2007. "We're lawyers," Thadani said. "We decided to help them." JOHN C. JOHNSON Lawrence attorney Opposing Thadani, who's handling the case for the Johnson office, is Kansas City-based law firm Lathrop & Gage on the RIAA's side. Claiming to be the oldest law firm west of the Mississippi River, Lathrop & Gage has 10 offices spanning the country and employs nearly 300 attorneys. organized" John Johnson said. "This is a nationwide thing." Thadani said he knew that the RIAA had, with a few exceptions, gotten the settlements it wanted out of its previous copyright infringement lawsuits. Johnson said he and Thadani would not be intimidated by the power of their opposition. Thadani and Johnson first asked the judge to throw out the subpoenaes served on the University so that the record companies couldn't get the students' names. The motion to quash the subpoenas was denied. Johnson said their next move would depend on the RIAA's next move. He guessed that the record companies would sue or offer settlements to each student after they obtained the students' information. Liz Kennedy, the RIAA spokeswoman, said she did not know when the RIAA would proceed with the lawsuits against the students who hadn't settled. Raymond Schrull University of Texas, said the RIAA usually raised its settlement offer to about $5,000 after it got the students' information and began individual lawsuits. Raymond Schiflett, attorney at the Johnson called the record companies' lawsuit campaign "greedy." He said the companies were using the lawsuits to meet business goals, rather than to correct injustices against them as lawsuits are traditionally meant to do. "I think they're using the judicial system as a sledgehammer," Johnson said, "and I don't think that's right." Ray Beckerman, a New York City attorney who operates the blog "Recording Industry vs. The People," called the record companies' practice of filing copyright infringement lawsuits an "extortion ring." "The cases are based on fabricated evidence, they're based on invented theories of law, and they're brought by giant multinational corporations for no reason but to oppress decent, hardworking people," Beckerman said. For example, Beckerman pointed to the record companies' meth- ed to the record od of obtaining subpoenaes for students' information ex parte - meaning that the judge orders the subpoenas without giving the defendants representation or notification. The record companies argue that the One KU economist challenges the record industry's claim that its sinking revenues are due to increased file-sharing. Koleman Strumpf, Koch professor of economics, researched the effect of illegal downloads on the music industry for a study released in a peer-reviewed journal last year. He and his co-researcher concluded that downloads had little to no effect on album sales. The study compared sales and illegal downloads of top-selling albums. "We think file-sharing is largely about people getting access to music that they never would have bought to begin with," Strumpf said. He guessed that the record industry's revenues have fallen because consumers view DVDs as a better value or because the iTunes store allows customers to buy individual songs instead of full albums. subpoenas must be ordered quickly because universities may delete the records that allow them to identify the students being sued. However, Kennedy, the RIAA spokeswoman, said file-sharing did take a bite out of profits and jobs. She cited a 2007 study by the Institute for Policy Innovation, a research group, that said music piracy caused the U.S. economy "It's sort of shocking, because I kind of feel like they would rather protect the University as whole than their students individually." Two judges have denied the RIAA's request for quick discovery of identities, and the RIAA has lost a few of its infringement cases, including one in Oklahoma in 2006. LACEY FISHER Garden City junior to lose 71,000 jobs and U.S. workers to lose $2.7 billion in wages each year. making examples out of a small number of college students still seemed unfair. "I just don't appreciate the RIAA taking money from us poor kids," she said. Lacey Fisher said she understood that what she did was illegal, but she said the record companies' tactic of John Doe No. 10 agreed the punishment was excessive. "I think I deserved to get in trouble for it. I don't know if getting charged $4,000 is exactly justice' he said how'd they get caught? The RIAA does not publicly discuss its methods of catching illegal file-sharers. But in court documents, the RIAA says it uses a third-party investigator that often just downloads songs shared by others on file-sharing networks, then checks to see if the song is copyrighted. @ Laura Diaz Moore, an attorney at Legal Services for Students, said many students don't know how to stop sharing music on software like LimeWire. She said other students try to uninstall LimeWire but don't know how to completely erase the program from their computers. KANSAN.COM Go to Kansan.com for links to instructions on how to stop sharing music on LimeWire and how to completely uninstall LimeWire and other file-sharing programs. This is not the first time KU students have had to answer to the RIAA's legal threats. Charli Johnson, a former KU student who transferred to Emporia State, got a letter from a law firm at her off-campus apartment in Summer 2004. She wondered if her father, a lawyer, may have gotten her an internship. Instead, the letter told her that the record industry was about to sue her for copyright infringement. Johnson discussed her options with her father, but she said she was intimidated by the impressive evidence the RIAA presented, including a list of all 592 songs she had been sharing. "It's kind of creepy," she said. Convinced she couldn't win in court, she settled for about $3,000 (she made a legal agreement not to reveal the exact amount). Johnson, now a teacher in Arkansas City, took out a loan to pay the bill. 'A SLAP IN THE FACE' Justified or not, the record companies have collected $3,000 from Johnson and $4,000 from Lacey Fisher, John Doe No. 10 and five other KU students. Six others will probably pay up, too, judging from the RIAA track record. Fisher and Doe No. 10 got money from their parents to pay their settlements, and now they each owe their parents $4,000. Fisher will use the money from her summer job, at a lake resort in Utah, to pay her parents back. She said she should make just about $4,000. She said her parents consoled her by telling her that most people had some kind of trying experience growing up, and paying $4,000 to some record companies might not be as bad as getting a DUI or something worse. Doe No. 10 said he agreed to give his parents half his income until his debt was paid off, starting with whatever job he finds this summer. As stressful and costly as his experience was, he admitted one thing: The record company's strategy works. He'll never download illegally again. "I already knew it was wrong when I was doing it," he said, "but I guess I kind of needed a slap in the face to stop." STATE — Edited by Patrick De Oliveira Casinos could generate $180 million for Kansas ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA — Four state-owned resort casinos and slot machines at race tracks could generate up to $739 million in annual revenue even if two Indian casinos operate near the border in Oklahoma, a study prepared for the Kansas Lottery concluded. The estimate assumes the Quapaw casino will operate south of Cherokee County and the Pawnee tribe will have a casino south of Arkansas City. Without the two casinos, the study said annual revenues could reach $811 million. With the two Oklahoma casinos, Kansas' share of gambling proceeds could amount to $180 million a year, and $196 million without them. Both casinos are being built. Supporters of expanded gambling estimated last year that the state would realize $200 million in additional annual revenue. A law enacted last year allows casinos in Wyandotte, Cherokee, Sumner and Ford counties and slot machines at the Woodlands dog and horse racing park in Kansas City and Camptown Greyhound Park in Frontenac. The state owns the gambling and the casinos will be operated by developers under contracts with the Lottery. Keith Kocher, the Lottery's director of gaming, said Tuesday that the study based its conclusions on certain assumptions, including that all casinos will be operating two years after the slots at the tracks start — something Kocher doesn't expect to happen. The state will receive at least 22 percent of gross revenues from casinos and 40 percent from slots at the tracks. The study estimates $98 million in track revenues each year. "When you don't know how long it will take the casinos to be built, you have to make some assumptions, like the casinos will come on line two years after the tracks," he said. As for whether the study's estimates are too high or too low, Kocher said, "You hear it both ways, depending on who you're talking to." It also assumes slot revenues at the tracks will decrease after the casinos open. He said the contracts could be negotiated to include a higher percentage for the state. "It is our intent and desire to obtain as much for the state of Kansas that we can," Kocher said. "We expect there will be higher offers than 22 percent." Eleven other states have commercial casinos, but Kansas is the only one with state-owned operations. The law requires that developers in all but Ford County make a minimum investment of $225 million. The minimum investment for Ford County is $50 million because it's a smaller market. It says that with the Oklahoma casinos, a Mulvane casino could produce $209 million in gross revenues each year and the Wellington location would produce $156 million. The figures without the Oklahoma casinos are $214 million at Mulvane and $167 million at Wellington. Two-year-old Ali Hussein is pulled from the rubble of his family's home in the Shiite stronghold of Sadr City in Bagdad, Iraq on Tuesday. The child, who later died in hospital, was in one of four homes allegedly destroyed by U.S. missiles. More than two dozen people were killed when Shiite militants ambushed a U.S. patrol in Bagdad the embattled Sadr City district, bringing the death toll in area on Tuesday to more than 30, a U.S. military spokesman and Iraqi officials said. The study by Christiansen Capital Advisors notes that the difference in gross revenue with or without the Oklahoma competition varies depending on whether the Sumner County casino is located near Mulvane or Wellington. Doug Lawrence, a lobbyist who played a leading role in putting together gambling legislation over the past decade, said that the study was extremely conservative in its estimates. He said the study overestimated the impact of the two Oklahoma casinos. IRAQ "They assume the Oklahoma casinos offer a competitive product, and the reality is they don't. There is no roulette table or dice at the Indian casinos," said Lawrence, who lobbies for Marvel Gaming, which is competing for a Wellington location. ASSOCIATED PRESS The study estimates Cherokee County would gross $161.6 million without the Quapaw casino and $93.9 million with it. Dozens of civilians killed in clash ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Dozens of fighters ambushed a U.S. patrol in Baghdad's main Shiite militia stronghold Tuesday, firing rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun bursts as the American push into Sadr City increasingly faces pockets of close urban combat. U. S. forces struck back with 200-pound guided rockets that devastated at least three buildings in the densely packed district that serves as the Baghdad base for the powerful Mahdi Army militia. The U.S. military said 28 militiamen were killed as the U.S. patrol pulled back. Local hospital officials said dozens of civilians were killed or wounded. Such street battles — in tight confines and amid frightened civilians — are increasingly becoming a hallmark of the drive into Sadr City and recall the type of head-on clashes last seen in large numbers during last year's U.S. troop buildup in Baghdad and surrounding areas. U. S. troops often have fought intense gunbattles as they cleared neighborhoods in Baghdad and former Sunni insurgent havens such as Anbar and Diyala provinces. But roadside bombings and rocket or mortar volleys against bases have been the more frequent mode of attack in recent years. Clashes have intensified in Sadr City since the Mahdi Army leader — the anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr — reiterated his threat of an all-out war against U.S.-led forces last week. U.S. troops, meanwhile, find themselves increasingly drawn into the fight opened by the Iraqi government to cripple the power of Shiite militias. "We are seeing larger groups of milli- more of the brazen attacks in the daytime recently" The ambush Tuesday came as a U.S. patrol of heavily armored Stryker vehicles and tanks moved along a road where the U.S. military is putting up a concrete barrier — which seeks to cut off the militants' movements and hamper their ability to fire rockets and mortars at the U.S.-protected Green Zone.

Associated Press photos showed men pulling the dust-covered body of a 2-year-old boy, Ali Hussein, from the rubble of one building U.

OPINION WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2008 7A THE INVESTIGATORY & DANISH ACADEMY COMMENTARY Final thoughts from this graduating senior CORBAN GOBLE In a couple of weeks, I leave this school for good. Although my cubicle-driven malaise will likely create a grand romanticization of my college years, this place ain't perfect. Here are my suggestions for how KU can change, grow and redefine what a university can be. 1. Student Senate — Let's face it, people. Democracy, even though it sounds nice, doesn't work. The whole process gets mucked up in bureaucracy, a slowdown of all processes that finds committees taking years to decide whether KU should get Gmail or not. My solution? A Student Dictator. I know, I know. The term "dictator" has been associated with some pretty negative things during the past century. But you know what dictators do? They get stuff done. Want Gmail? Presto! You got it. More books in the library? As long as they are propaganda, sure! The filling up of Clinton Lake in order to erect a child-labor driven textile factory? Now we're talking. 2. Progressive Schools — KU has a medical school, a law school and an undergraduate business school. Pretty good. However, institutions nationwide are ignoring the single greatest threat to mankind, a threat greater than cancer, global warming or snakes on a plane — time. Anyone who was in my physical science class in ninth grade knows that time can flat out stop. I hope this University will be the first institution to create a unique school that can capture this phenomenon, enabling lengthy naps, Zach Morse style "time-outs" and solutions to those situations where you need to be two places at once, which happens in every teenage sitcom ever created. 3. Free Beer —'Nuff said. 4. More Fireworks — If cou- plied with No. 3 on my list, KU will see an enormous rise in enrollment. 8. More publicity for my solo project — Given time and a lot of patience, I really think Corby and the Funkbots are gonna be huge. 5. Bitter Relationships with the Dean — Now here is something I've always wanted to harp on. From my viewings of all the classic college films, I was led to think that my time at university would be plagued by a series of battles with the dean. The dean, attempting to look good and maybe land a better dean job or impress a local business (you pick the plot, I don't care) would naturally bristle with the party-loving coeds at the school, resulting in an endless number of pranks and "double-secret" probations. However, every dean that I have interacted with has been caring, modest and interested in what I had to say. That needs to change, as I think I'm missing out on an essential college experience here 7. Gondolas for the Hill to avoid that horrible steep climb from the Student Ghetto area — The student dictator would most likely get these puppies rolling. I'd like to think that all of these suggestions are feasible, and when I return to the school in a decade, students will be whizzing by on Segways drinking complimentary Red Bulls and properly fixing buckets of glue above the deans slightly cracked doorway. Heck, my potential donation to the school is riding on the possibility of these changes. 6. More Parades for the Basketball Team — Is one really enough? All said and done, KU is pretty great. Asking for improvement is like asking Gilbert Arenas to say crazier stuff. Let's not get spoiled here. However, let us take the opportunity to improve ourselves, improve our school and download Corby and the Funkbots' mp3s until your hard drive is full. Goble is a Mission Hills senior in English. Wheels of Justice BLOGS@KANSAN.COM SINCE freedom of speech, PARTICULARLY involving neocolonialIST situations (see: Pales tine, Iraq, Tibet, etc.) is SUCH a hot topic on Kansan.com - and not a bad hot topic to have, if you ask me- I thought I would mention a couple of speakers that are going to be at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries today. The Black Rabbit Two speakers from the Wheels of Justice tour will be presenting on Iraq and Palestine starting at 4 p.m. Discussion will be at 6 p.m. and go until about 8 p.m.The ECM is located at 1204 Oread.

Guns don't kill people; crazed citizens do COMMENTARY ROSS STEWART Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC) protested the Kansas Board of Regents decision to continue to ban weapons on all of its campuses last week by wearing empty gun holsters to class. People say they want to defend themselves. People say they want to defend others. I'd politely ask them to leave the rest of us out of it, because I don't want anyone defending me with a gun other then someone who my taxes pay to do so. I'm sorry, wait—no I'm not sorry. I don't want you defending me. I understand that you have to go through an eight-hour training course to get the permit. I understand that you have to have a background check. That doesn't matter to me. People with concealed carry licenses are not police officers. Receiving a license is not training for combat. I hear proponents for conceal carry on campus say that school shootings, like the most recent at Virginia Tech, could have been cut short or prevented almost entirely if concealed carry would've been allowed on campus. It's ridiculous for anyone to suggest such a thing and then proceed to present it as factual. I could say the exact opposite; maybe with concealed carry more people would've died and the shootings would've gone on longer. I could assume there would've been confusion as to who was the bad guy. Concealed carriers could've been confused with the killer and shot down by the police. Concealed carriers could've accidentally shot other concealed carriers or civilians. To back up these arguments in this manner is speculation, which makes them worthless. Both sides can conjure up ideas as to what could've happened in such an event if more guns were in the picture but no one will ever know.

Citizens have the right to own a gun. The government has the right to tell them not to come on its property with it. KU is government property. So keep off the grass and leave your gats at home. I'm not going to say whether or not more guns would help in a school shooting because no one knows. I just don't trust another individual who's not in the army or a police officer to defend me with a gun. If you've gone hunting, Whooepedy-doo—I don't care. Deer don't shoot back. And a forest is not a classroom of students.

It truly bothers me when the victims of rulings that were influenced or made by Roberts aren't allowed access to him. The same access denial has also occurred with previous visits by Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Roberts was involved in the Wagnon v. Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation gas tax ruling reversal in 2005. This Kansas tribe won the right to be excluded from state taxes on its gas sales to non-Indians in a lower federal court. In a move based more on the leaning of state's rights interpretation than the law itself, Robert's court reversed this ruling, sending reverberations throughout Indian Country. Roberts had represented the state in the 1997 Alaska v. Native Village of Venetia Tribal Government case, citing the Tee-Hee-Ton Band of Tlingit Indians land case of 1955, which denied aboriginal title to lands in Alaska that were purchased by the United States in 1867. Furthermore, Roberts wrongly educated his colleagues about the concept of aboriginal title of lands in the lower 48 states vs. the title of native lands in Alaska. Roberts wrongly assumed that the concept of aboriginal land title in the lower 48 states was the same as Alaska. He told Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to set aside 200 years of land claim cases in the Sherill v. Oneida Indian Tribe case that arose out of the violation of the Indian Non-Intercourse Act of 1790, when the 13 colonies made treaties for lands from tribes without an act of Congress, which was given this power from the Commerce Clause of the Constitution to regulate Indian affairs. Roberts should be held accountable for crippling the rightful land claims of the Haudenosaunee how to submit LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Send letters to the editor by e-mail to kansanpdesk@gmail.com.

Barack Obama angrily denounced his former pastor for "divisive and destructive" remarks on race, seeking to divorce himself from the incendiary speaker and a fury that threats to engulf his front-running Democratic presidential campaign. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., looks on as he is introduced during a town hall-style meeting in Hickory, N.C., Tuesday. At the meeting, Obama denounced Rev. Jeremiah Wright's comments on race again. Obama is trying to tamp down the uproar over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright at a tough time in his campaign. The Illinois senator is coming off a loss in Pennsylvania to rival Hillary Rodham Clinton and trying to win over white working- class voters in Indiana and North Carolina in next Tuesday's primaries. "I am out raged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we saw yesterday," Obama Obama stated flatly that he doesn't share the views of the man who officiated at his wedding, baptized his two daughters and been his "I think he (Rev. Jeremiah Wright) felt vilified and attacked and I understand him wanting to defend himself." minorities. "Based on this Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything," he said. And perhaps even worse for Obama, Wright suggested that the church congregant secretly concurs. told reporters at a news conference Tuesday. "If Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected," Wright said. "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls." His strong words come just six weeks after Obama delivered a sweeping speech on race in which he sharply condemned Wright's remarks but did not leave the church or repudiate the minister himself, who he said was like a family member. After weeks of staying out of the public eye while critics lambasted his sermons, the former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago made three public appearances in four days to defend himself. BARACK OBAMA Democratic presidential hopeful On Monday, Wright criticized the U.S. government as imperialist and stood by his suggestion that the United States invented the HIV virus as a means of genocide against pastor for 20 years. The title of Obama's second book, "The Audacity of Hope", came from a Wright sermon. "W h a t became clear to me is that he was presenting a world view that contradicts who I am and what I stand for," Obama said. "And what I think particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing. Anybody who knows me and anybody who knows what I'm about knows that I am about trying to bridge gaps and I see the commonality in all people." Although Obama leads in pledged delegates, no Democrat can win the nomination without the support of the superdelegates, the elected officials and party leaders who can vote their preference. The Wright furor forces those Democrats to wonder about Obama's electability in November. sought to distance himself further from Wright. Facing that reality, Obama "I have been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ since 1992, and have known Reverend Wright for 20 years," Obama said. "The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago." The Illinois senator said of Wright's statements Monday: "All it was was a bunch of rants that aren't grounded in truth." "Obviously, whatever relationship I had with Reverend Wright has changed." Obama said. "I don't think he showed much concern for me, more importantly I don't think he showed much concern for what we're trying to do in this campaign." "His comments were not only divisive and destructive, I believe they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate," Obama said. "I'll be honest with you, I hadn't seen it" when reacting initially on Monday. Obama said he heard that Wright had given "a performance" and when he watched news accounts, he realized that it more than just a case of the former pastor defending himself. he said. Wright had asserted that criticism of his fiery sermons was an attack on the black church. Obama rejected that notion. "He has done great damage, I do not see that relationship being the same," said Obama. Wright recently retired from the church. He became an issue in Obama's presidential bid when videos circulated of Wright condemning the U.S. government for allegedly racist and genocidal acts. In the videos, some several years old, Wright called on God to "damn America." He also said the government created the AIDS virus to destroy "people of color." Obama said he didn't vet his pastor before deciding to seek the presidency. He said he was particularly distressed that the furor has been a distraction to the purpose of a campaign. "I think he felt vilified and attacked and I understand him wanting to defend himself," Obama said. "That may account for the change but the insensitivity and the outrageousness of the statements shocked me and surprised me." wieners for seniors --- Free hot dogs and prizes for graduating students!

McCain said Tuesday he would offer families a $5,000 tax credit to help buy insurance policies. RN Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., talks to doctors, nurses, scientists and health care workers, Tuesday at the Moffett Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla. McCain said he would offer families a $5,000 tax credit to help buy insurance policies.

PROFESSIONAL Moving & Storage 785-842-1115 3620 Thomas Court pnzmoving.com --- Everyone would get the credit, whether he or she keeps a policy through an employer or shops for a new one. "You simply choose the insurance provider that suits you best." McCain said in a speech Tuesday at the H. Loe Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa. "The health plan you chose would be as good as any that an employer could choose for you. It would be yours and your family's health care plan, and yours to keep," he said. Advisers called the speech a major policy address though McCain has talked about the same ideas for several months. Also Tuesday, his campaign began airing a health care commercial in Iowa, where McCain plans to hold a town hall-style meeting Thursday in Des Moines. In it, McCain makes the case for his market-oriented plan. "So, a little more detail, but remember, it is April, and the election's in November, so not everything will happen tomorrow or this week," McCain adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin told reporters Monday. Under McCain's plan, anyone could get the credit, and those who like their company health care plans could choose to stay in them. The credit would be available as a rebate to people at lower income levels who have no tax liability, Holtz-Eakin said. Still missing: The total cost of the plan and an estimate of how many people it would help. There are more than 40 million people in the United States who don't have health insurance. An adviser said that specifics will come later. To pay for the tax credit, McCain would eliminate the tax exemption for people whose employers pay a portion of their coverage, raising an estimated $3.6 trillion in revenues. Holtz-Eakin said. Companies that provide coverage to workers still would get tax breaks. McCain would also cut costs by limiting health care lawsuits. The goal is to move the health care industry away from job-based coverage toward competition among health insurance companies on the open market. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2008 NEWS CRIME 9A Opossums and Ecstasy: all in a night's work BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kansan.com As soon as I saw the officer who I rode along with, Richard Whitis, I knew he couldn't be much older than a college student. I was right. Whitis, a recent Missouri State graduate, was 24. I was happy that he was close to my age, but his youth also made me feel uneasy. My fears were further exaggerated when Whitis asked me to sign a consent form that released KU's Public Safety Office from responsibility if I was harmed. I was concerned about signing, but then I remembered the rain, which the officer said affected the amount of crime he saw during his shift. I wasn't expecting much from that night, probably just a few burnt-out headlights, but I had no idea I was about to experience a night filled with an opossum chase and a reported ecstasy overdose. Whitiss seemed nervous about having a rider, a 1080 in police code, but he was eager to prove how exciting and fulfilling being a police officer was. When he saw rain, he knew he would have to be creative to impress me. "Sometimes it's slower, but that's OK because it means people are not doing bad things." 11:00 p.m. As we start our first lap around campus, Whitis tells me that on nights like this, he keeps himself busy by checking the buildings that are open 24 hours and pulling people over who commit minor crimes. 11:02 p.m. "Somebody has to have a warrant out for their arrest," Whitis said. Whitis sees the night's first offender at the corner of Naismith and 18th streets. A blue Malibu has a headlight out. Whitis puts on his lights, and the Malibu pulls over. He reads off the car's tag numbers to the dispatcher and instructs me to stay in the police car while he approaches the car. The rain makes it impossible to hear Whitis and the driver's conversation. When Whitis returns, he asks the dispatcher for a run down of the car and the driver's information. The dispatcher speaks in codes I don't understand, but I get the gist. The car is not stolen, and the driver does not have any warrants out for his arrest. Whitis lets the driver off with a warning. When he returns, he tells me the driver was just a pizza boy delivering a pizza. Whitis says the driver is waiting on his next paycheck to fix the headlight, so Whitis gives the driver the benefit of the doubt. I hope that if I ever get pulled over on campus, Whitis is the officer who stops me. 11:19 p.m. "Most of the time, there is no reason for a police officer to yell at somebody" Whits said. Whitis tells me that it is hard for him to go to the gym because of his work and sleep schedule, so he does building checks and foot patrols to get exercise. Inside Marvin, all we find is several students studying, so we head back to the car. RICHARD WHITIS KU police officer While driving along Jayhawk Boulevard, Whitis notices a vehicle driven toward us without its headlights on. Whitis whips the car around and we pull the car over in front of Watson Library. Whitis lets this driver go with a warning as well. The driver merely forgot to turn his lights on after picking a friend up from the Kansas Union. We wouldn't pull another car over our third car until 11:56 p.m., and our fourth at 12:37 a.m. Both drivers were pulled over for headlight problems. placed on this shift again. But Whitis is not bitter about his hours and he saw the lack of crime as a positive. While Whitis and I wait for the next wrong-doer to pass us, he tells me he switched from majoring in education to criminal justice. He says he wants to help people by listening to them open up about their life stories while he's on duty. With Whitis' encouragement, I told him mine and he told me his—we had a lot of time to kill. 12:08 a.m. - 12:15 a.m. Whitis tells me that he has been a public safety officer for 15 months, but that he has only been out of training for nine months and has been on the graveyard shift since the beginning. He says the shifts rotate every six months, meaning he has three more months on graveyards, and he would be "Sometimes it's slower, but that's OK because it means people are not doing bad things." Whitis said. We decide to do a building check of Marvin Hall to get some fresh air and some exercise. This lap around campus, I ask Whitis if I may shoot his gun, he tells me no. I ask him if we can do some doughnuts around the Student Fitness Recreation Center's parking lot and then set his car on fire. He tells me no, again. Whitis clearly has not seen Superbad. "If I shot my gun, I'd be fired," Whitis said. "If I let you shoot my gun, that would be bad." This night is turning out to be a real bummer. The dispatcher reports a opossum on the loose on the second floor of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall. I have never seen a opossum before and I want Whitis to take the call, but Officer Robert Blevins reaches Battenfeld before we do. 12:57 a.m. Blevins decides to call animal control, but the agency does not answer. "I guess we're gonna have to try and run it out," Blevins tells the dispatcher. At 1:18 a.m. Blevins finally gets the opossum situation under control. "10-4. The possum has left the building," Blevins said. 1:27 a.m. — 1:40 a.m. I'm starting to get car sick so 1:59 a.m. We pull over yet another car with its headlights off. After the stop, I tell Whitis I'm ready to go home. Then, the dispatcher states over the radio that the office just received a 911 call. A female resident of McColum Residence Hall reportedly overdosed on Ecstasy. "Here's your story." Whitis tells me as he increases his speed from 20 mph to 50 mph in a matter of seconds. Whitis and I do a building check of Eaton Hall. No suspicious activity there either, unless studying on a Saturday night qualifies as suspicious. When we arrive at McCollum, Whits tells me to stay with him and that we need to move quickly. 1:45 a.m. I'm still not feeling well, so Whitis and I park behind bushes at the four-way stop between the Rec Center and Allen Fieldhouse. Whitis tells me drivers cannot see his car because of the bushes and so it is a good place to catch people running stop signs. No one in the residence hall's lobby seems know anything about the phone call. Whitis tells the desk attendant the name of the reported person who overdosed and we are given a room number. Whitis and I race to the room. He knocks on the door, but no one answers. He tells me to stand back, puts his jacket over his face and opens the door. The room is unlocked, the bed is unmade and the lights are on, indicating that someone was just in the room. Whitis tells the girl that no legal actions will be taken against her friend and that he just wants to make sure she is treated properly, but the girl refuses to answer any more questions. Blevins reaches the scene and tells us we are at the wrong room. We hear the sound of sirens outside and realize the ambulance has arrived.

The defense and pitching of the Jayhawks shut the Tigers out. Kansas defeated Missouri 3-0. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — No wonder the Kansas City Royals are the lowest scoring club in the Major Leagues. A year ago Kansas and Missouri scored a combined 46 runs in three games. Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium the Jayhawks and Tigers combined for three. Tiger killer and senior outfielder Ryne Price came through for the Jayhawks, blasting his 10th home run of the season and 60th of his home runs in Minnesota and most of his career against Missouri — which proved to be the game-winner as sophomore left-hander and Lee's Summit, Mo., native Shaeffer Hall hurled seven shutout innings. Behind the bat of Price and the arm of Hall, Kansas (26-22) took down No. 15 Missouri (29-15), 3-0. The game was a non-conference meeting, so the victory didn't help Kansas in the Big 12 standings, but that didn't suck any of the intensity out of the game. "It's a big rivalry, so we always get up for it. I like playing them and I obviously see the ball well. I don't think they like me very much," said Price, who was involved in a bench-clearing scuffle his sophomore year in the Big 12 Championship against Missouri. Price's home run, which he placed in the Royals bullpen beyond the right field wall, came in the second inning. His run stood as the only one in the game until the top of the eighth inning. Kansas stranded four men in scoring position between Price's home run and the eighth. All the while, Hall (3-2) staved off one rally after another from Missouri. "It was crucial that we scored early." Kansas coach Ritch Price said. In the first inning, Missouri second baseman Greg Folga lined off with a single, but right fielder Ryan Lollis lined into a double play. Hall gave up his second hit in the second, but then induced an inning-ending double play. "I just let my defense play behind me. They did a great job tonight," Hall said. He got out of the fourth with two Tigers on base when he struck out Missouri shortstop Andrew Thigpen looking to negate the threat. Hall gave up two more singles in the seventh. The first runner was caught stealing second, but the second runner swiped second successfully. Hall left him there, though, fanning third baseman Kyle Mach looking. Every inning wasn't a roller coaster for Hall, though, as he worked perfect innings in the third and sixth. Hall came innings in the third a out after the seventh with a clean slate. He surrendered only five hits and two walks while striking out four. The outing matched Hall's long for the season. He last went seven innings on March 1 against Xavier. He'd only made it to the fifth inning four times in nine starts entering Tuesday. "It's a big rivalry, so we always get up for it. I like playing them and I obviously see the ball well." Hall said. "I just took it inning by inning. Facing a good team like that, you've got to. You've got to focus on each batter, each inning and just go that way. I was Although he had friends and family wearing crimson and blue as well as black and gold in the crowd,he said he wasn't trying to give them more for their money. "No, I really didn't think that way." just fortunate to go that long." Not until the eighth could Kansas bounce Missouri right-hander Ian Berger (3-4) from the game. In sevenplus innings, Berger allowed six hits and three walks while striking out six. But when he put Kansas' first two batters on in the eighth he was pulled in favor of right-hander Nick Tepesch. However, Tepesch couldn't calm the Jayhawk bats. With Berger's runners on second and third, senior left fielder John Allman slapped a single up the middle to drive them both in and extend Kansas' lead to 3-0. Allman led Kansas with three hits while four other Jayhawks collected one hit apiece. With a three-run lead to work with, junior closer Paul Smyth entered the game and kept the Tigers off the board for his eighth save of the year. Tuesday was the first time Kansas had shut Missouri out since March 24, 2000. After the game, it was obvious that Hall's brilliant performance in the stadium he frequents every summer lifted a huge weight off his back. "I've had the ability to pitch like this, but - earlier in the season, midseason - I really haven't been showing it," Hall said. "It was good to come out here and work through seven, instead of getting 3-2/3 or whatever." —Edited by Russell Davies CONTINUED COVERAGE ON PAGE 8B/9B MEN'S GOLF Jayhawks finish sixth in Big 12 Championship PARK SUMMER BY BRYAN WHEELER bwheeler@kansan.com The men's golf team finished its season this past weekend at the Big 12 Championship with a sixth-place finish. Kansas had a four-round score of 1,194 at Whispering Pines Golf Club (par-72, 7,249 yards) in Trinity, Texas. The Jayhawks entered the tournament as the No. 11 seed and finished ahead of every team in the Big 12 North, as well as Oklahoma. "We did pretty well as a team," junior Walt Koelbel said. "We've been joking about how we won the Big 12 North." The Jayhawks sixth-place finish in the Big 12 Championship over the weekend is amongst their best finishes of the season. Kansas entered the championship as the No.11 seed. finish by any Jayhawk in the last five years. Freshman walk-on Brad Hopfinger led the team with a four-round score of 290, highlighted by a tournament best final round of 68. Hopfinger finished tied for seventh place and earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Tournament team. "A lot of hard work paid off at this tournament," Hopfinger said. "It's nice that my best tournament was the last of the season. Hopefully I can do it again for three more years." Contributed by Jeff Jacobsen/KAHSAS ATHLETICS The finish marked the best performance of the season for Hopfinger and tied Gary Woodland's 2006 performance for the best "As a freshman, you can't ask for anymore than he gives us this season," coach Kit Grove said. "I'm really proud of him." Koelbel finished tied for 22nd place with a four-round score of 298. Koelbel, who led the team in the 2007 Big 12 Conference Championship, also had his best finish of the spring. Also competing for the Jayhawks were junior Zach Pederson, freshman Nate Barbee and sophomore Patrick Roth. Pederson had a four-round score of 321 and finished tied for 58th place. Roth had a four-round score of 305 and finished tied for 37th place. "I was hoping to finish in the top 20, but 22nd place was a decent finish," Koelbel said. "Being the fifth guy in our lineup, Patrick really stepped it up in this tournament," Grove said. Barbee had a four-round score of 309 and finished tied for 41st place.

Taylor made an official visit to Kansas last week and came away impressed. He told Jayhawkslant.com about how the entire team and Bill Self gathered with him on the ioftball field at night. With all of them holding flashlights, a basketball highlight video started playing on the big screen. "It was just something I will never forget," Taylor said to Jayhawkslant. "Watching the highlight video with Coach Self and the team was awesome. It was just an unbelievable experience." Taylor is the No. 11 ranked point guard in the class of 2008. He averaged 10 points a game for St. Anthony's. Mark Dent which finished the year as the No. 1 high school team in the country.

And that's a shame. The junior from Beaumont, Texas, committed the biggest sin prospects can make when deciding whether or not they should leave early; He didn't understand his stock. And it probably cost him millions. Collins parlayed one stellar season into a ticket to the NFL. His only question in the aftermath should be: Is that ticket refundable? BY THOR NYSTROM TNYSTROMKANSAN.COM The Cincinnati Bengals scooped him up with the 13th selection in Round 4, the 112th selection overall. It ended a free-fall that dropped him out of any substantial signing bonus he could have received by going on the draft's first day. Look, I'm happy he can pursue his dream. But it wasn't going anywhere. Waiting a year would have been wise. Instead, he entered a draft loaded with offensive tackles: Jake Long, Ryan Clady, Branden Albert (if you count him as a tackle), Chris Williams, Gusher Cherilus, Jeff Otah, Sam Baker and Dusen Brown. And those are just the first-round guys. By the time Collins should have been picked, maybe the late second or early third round, every team that needed a tackle had already filled their holes with more polished prospects. Collins suffered a needless drop. It didn't have to be this way. Collins burned his final year of eligibility. He could have returned to a dynamic offense. He could have protected Todd Reesing during a 3,000-yard passing season and paved the way for Jake Sharp to carve out 1,000 yards on the ground. He could have helped the jayhawks compete for the Big 12 North title and simultaneously pushed his stock through the roof; many draft projections believed he would have entered next season with a first-round grade. Instead, he sold early. I'm sure Collins believed his stock was rising after having been selected as an Associated Press first-team All-American and Outland Trophy finalist in his final season. I'm sure he wanted to leave on top with his friend Aqib Talib after the Orange Bowl victory. I'm sure he felt that a good showing at the combine would lock him in as either a high second-round pick or low first-rounder. He shouldn't have taken that chance. There was simply too much money at stake. And we have precedence for a player that left the Fighting Mangino's early only to be severely disappointed by the draft process. Charles Gordon insists to this day that he didn't make a mistake by coming out early, despite the fact that he was not selected and had to claw his way on the Minnesota Vikings roster. I'm sure Collins will say he doesn't regret his decision either. Collins is more blessed. His stock wasn't going down. He has all the skills the NFL is looking for. With another year in college, and another successful season, he was in line to rake in a multimillion-dollar signing bonus that would set him up for life. Scout inc. on ESPN.com had this to say about Collins: "Collins will likely need at least a year of polishing before he's ready to contribute in the NFL. His footwork is spotty, he must improve his explosive power and most importantly he needs to play with more consistent leverage." That's fine. But Gordon and Collins are vastly different players. Gordon was small and slow for the cornerback position. Another year in college might have pushed him into the very latter stages of the draft, but it wasn't going to make him a first-day pick. He simply does not have the measurables that teams are looking for when they make a selection. Coming out early wasn't a big mistake. Either way, he was going to have to earn his keep or find a job in another field. Gee, I wonder — if Collins could take that year, work on his weaknesses and gain millions, would he? It's too bad he can't make the decision over again. --- Edited by Patrick De Oliveira } 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2008 trivia of the dav Q: Before this season, when was the last time the Orlando Magic won a playoff series?

Barack Obama, D-III., center right, drives to the basket against the University of North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough during a basketball practice in Chapel Hill, N.C., Tuesday. ELECTION Obama makes basketball part of his political strategy ELECTION TALIB 1 "We're a very sports-loving country and it would be unusual if our president in one way or another was not sports connected," said Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar who served in the Eisenhower and Nixon administrations. "I do think you can tell something about people by the way they play basketball," he told HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" this month. PITTSBURGH — He's confident and competitive. Superstitious and silly. Admits his mistakes. Shares credit. Always in control. That's Barack Obama on the basketball court, the hardwood hideaway that helped him adjust to a white world as a racially mixed teenager — and now stands as a sweaty platform for his Democratic presidential campaign. More than that, Obama hopes his passion for basketball helps soften his image as cool and aloof. For months, the Illinois senator kept his "first love" under wraps, but suddenly basketball is center court as a political strategy. It's no accident: Obama needs something — anything — to deflect attention from the re-emergence of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his bombastic former pastor whose racially charged opinions threaten to widen the disconnect between the Illinois senator and white working-class voters. Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden and 2008 first-round draft pick Aquib Talib appear at a news conference Monday morning in Tampa, Fla. Talib played cornerback at Kansas. ASSOCIATED PRESS >> NFL Aqib Talib joins Buccaneers ASSOCIATED PRESS Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — Aqib Talib fielded question after question. When he finally encountered one he couldn't answer, the first-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got some unexpected assistance. "My first name means the last to come. I'm the youngest out of four kids. My last name, I don't know," the ballhawking cornerback said Monday before being joined on a podium by Bucs coach Jon Gruden. The two held up a No.1 jersey with Talib's name on the back. The room erupted in laughter, but Gruden was only half joking. "That name," Gruden said, "means good corner, i hope." The Bucs selected a cornerback in the opening round for the first time since 1986, bypassing an opportunity to upgrade the offense with the coach's choice of any receiver in the draft. They're counting on Talib to prove they made the right call. The startling cornerbacks for much of the past decade have been Ronde Barber and Brian Kelly. Barber turned 33 three weeks ago, while the 32-year-old Kelly skipped town this winter as a free agent. Talib, who Gruden describes as a "dynamic playmaker" at Kansas, will compete with Phillip Buchanon for the starting left cornerback job and play a key role in nickel situations. "We always let guys come in and compete, especially first-round or second-round picks. ... But that doesn't mean that we just start them. They have to earn it because we like who we have right now," defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin said. "Last year we ran like 1,082 plays on defense, and 42 percent of the time we played nickel, which means three wideouts in the game. So, we got to match up with three corners. That's why you need a really good third corner. He not only is one snap away from being a starter, but is also going to play right now close to 50 percent of the time." He looks forward to learning from Barber and others, like linebacker Derrick Brooks and safeties Jermaine Phillips and Tanard Jackson, on a defense that's ranked among the league's best 10 of the past 11 seasons. The ultra-confident Talib is eager to learn the defense and contribute any he can. "I'm on their team now. I think they want me to come in and compete. They want me to come in and help the team win a championship. That's what we're trying to do," said Talib, selected the most valuable player in this year's Orange Bowl after scoring on a 60-yard interception return to help Kansas beat Virginia Tech. As part of the core of players that helped put the Kansas football program back on the map, Talib had 13 career interceptions in college. He also made an impact on offense as a "If there's a player here who's going to help them win a championship, they want him to do his hardest to be on the field. I think I'll fit in perfect. I'm a people person. I've never had a problem fitting in with a crowd." He doesn't anticipate his upbeat, sometimes brash personality rubbing teammates the wrong way. NBA BOLD MOVES Carolina Ford Dealers ASSOCIATED PRESS Larry Brown, right, the new coach of the Charlotte Bobcats basketball team, speaks during a news conference on Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., Michael Jordan, manager of basketball operations for the Bobcats, listens at left. Jordan recruits Brown to coach N.C. Bobcats ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Larry Brown wanted to resurrect his vagabond, Hall of Fame coaching career. Michael Jordan needed a veteran teacher and a big hire to rescue his sinking reputation as an NBA executive. The two former North Carolina players teamed up Tuesday when Jordan introduced Brown as coach of the Charlotte Bobcats — his ninth NBA coaching job. Brown agreed to a four-year contract, returning to the state where his nomadic coaching journey began. "How are you going to say no to Michael?" Brown said. "I've known him a long time. The things he stands for have made our game better. There's no way I could say no to him. It was a pretty easy decision once my wife said yes." The 67-year-old Brown replaces Sam Vincent, whom Jordan hired last year despite no NBA head coaching experience. Vincent, who was fired Saturday, struggled to find consistent rotations and clashed with players in a 32-50 season. The Bobcats are in their fourth year, and Brown gives the struggling franchise instant credibility. He's one of only five NBA coaches with more than 1,000 wins and the only coach to lead teams to NBA and NCAA titles. "I think I've coached almost everybody in the NBA, but I'm going to challenge everybody to do their best," Brown said. "That's what Michael is about and that's what I'm about."

"But I think this is the atmosphere he enjoys." While Brown took UCLA to the Final Four and won an NCAA title with Kansas, most of his experience has been in the NBA. Brown improved teams in Denver, San Antonio, Indiana and Philadelphia and won an NBA title with the Detroit Pistons in 2004.

The Flyers won 3-1. Late-game penalty almost cost Flyers three-goal lead BY DAN GELSTON ASSOCIATED PRESS One big hit, one costly penalty from the defenseman, nearly turned the series around. PHILADELPHIA — Maybe Derian Hatcher will play his shifts safe the next time the Flyers have a three-goal lead in the third period. Instead, Martin Biron saved the Flyers again. Biron stopped 32 shots and the Flyers scored three goals in the second period to beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2, taking a 2-1 lead in their second-round series. "I thought I was going to get sick," Hatcher said. Well, then he felt like the rest of the Flyers fans who watched on TV the same way he did in the locker room. Hatcher drove his right arm into the center of defenseman Francis Bouillon's back and slammed him into the glass with the Flyers up 3-0. Bouillon, who wears a visor, was cut near the corner of his right eye. Hatcher was whistled for 5 minutes for boarding and a game misconduct, ending his night. That was all the opportunity Montreal needed to make its first serious run at Biron. It was nearly enough to tie the score. "Your first reaction is you just hope the team can get through it," Hatcher said.

Orlando won 102-92 to advance to the next playoff round. ORLANDO, Fla. — Surprise, NBA. The first team to advance in the Eastern Conference playoffs wasn't the heavily favored Boston Celtics or the battle-tested Detroit Pistons. It was the Orlando Magic, who beat the Toronto Raptors 102-92 on Monday to close the first-round series in five games. And it was built on the back of a 22-year-old center whose improvement seems to show no bounds. Dwight Howard had 21 points and 21 rebounds, his third 20-20 game in five postseason games, and the Magic advanced to the second round for the first time in 12 years. Orlando hadn't won a playoff series since Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway led the team to the Eastern Conference finals in 1996. The Magic played 28 postseason games in the intervening years, winning only eight. Howard helped limit Raptors star Chris Bosh to nine rebounds and 16 points on 7-of-19 shooting, one game after the Raptors forward set playoff career highs of 39 points and 15 rebounds. "To finally get over the hump and get out of the first round, it means a lot for us." Howard said. "But we're not satisfied. Our goal is to win a championship, so we're going to keep playing and try to play the same way to get that goal." "He's a phenom; he's the best center in the league," Bosh said of Howard, his friend from USA Basketball. "He's probably the strongest guy in the league, and he knows how to use his body. It doesn't surprise me at all. I've seen him play this whole series, I've seen him play this season." In other NBA playoff games. Atlanta beat Boston 97-92 and Los Angeles defeated Denver 107-101. T. J. Ford and Carlos Delfino both scored 14 points for the Raptors, while Jason Kapono had 13 and Jose Calderon 12. "They beat us on the boards. "They've got a guy in the middle who cleans up a lot of their misses," Toronto coach Sam Mitchell said. "It's hard to ask much more of our big guys when they're battling this guy the way they did with his size and strength, quickness and athleticism. Congratulations Orlando; they played great." The Magic will face the winner of the Detroit-Philadelphia series, which is tied 2-2, in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Keyon Dooling's free throw after a technical on Bosh put the Magic ahead 73-66 with just under a minute left in the third quarter, and Orlando kept the lead until midway through the fourth. Delfino hit a jumper and Bosh made two free throws in four trips to the line, plus a hook shot over Howard, to draw the Raptors within 84-82. The Magic, who had the fourth- best 3-point percentage in the NBA this season, struggled again from long range (9-of-32), but made them when it counted. Keith Bogans and Jameer Nelson each hit one and Howard added a layup as the Magic answered with an 8-0 run over 3:13 to open a 92-82 lead, then its largest of the game. It was enough room to let them coast. "We didn't even have our best night, and to be able to win it in five games, I'm really proud of them," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. Nelson scored 19 points and Rashard Lewis had 18 points and 13 rebounds for Orlando. Hedo Turkoglu just missed a triple-double with 12 points, eight rebounds and nine assists, while Maurice Evans scored 12 points. OGA KENTUCKY DERBY ASSOCIATED PRESS Race horse trainer Dirk Rutton, right, rubs Brown, as walker Alberto Montejo, center, looks on at Palm Meadows in Boynton Beach, Florida. early Thursday. Big Brown is considered a favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. Dutrow says Big Brown can't lose ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. — About 10 years ago, trainer Rick Dutrow Jr.'s address was Barn 1, Tack Room D, Aqueduct Racetrack, New York. From there to here, Dutrow has emerged as one of the nation's top trainers. He also happens to have the expected favorite for Saturday's Kentucky Derby in unbeaten Big Brown. "I loved it," he said, a hardy laugh following. "I was right there in the barn with my horses. I had my microwave set up. I was good. Really. If I lost everything and had to do it again, I'm there." Park Avenue, it wasn't. "I feel very confident that if Big Brown breaks with the field, he going to run a big race," he said. "I just haven't seen any other horse with my eyes that can beat him." And Dutrot doesn't think his 3-year-old bay colt can lose. The always engaging Dutrow center stage for more than 30 minutes Tuesday morning at the media center on the backside of Churchill Downs. While it was chilly outside, Dutrow was inside warming a crowd of about 75 people with tales of his struggles, suspensions and social life. He said the hardest part of his job is waking up at 4:30 every morning, "because I like to hang out with my people, and I can't be doing that all the time." "Yeah," he said. "If I wanted to take out some girl, she'd say, 'Where am I going to meet you?' I'd say, 'Meet me at the barn.' Of his numerous suspensions, many for medication violations, Dutrow said: "Half of them I deserved, half of 'em I didn't." Asked if he ever brought women back to his digs at Aqueduct, his eyes brightened, he smiled and then answered. "Actually," he continued, "I never should leave the barn because when I leave the barn that's when trouble starts. When I'm in the barn, I'm just there with my horses and it's good." It's been all good for Dutrow lately. horseman Dick Dutrow came to New York and started with no horses and living in a tack room, usually used as a backstretch storage area. Since then he's moved way up in class, and has a public stable of more than 100 horses. In 2005, he won two Breeders' Cup races, the classic with Horse of the Year Saint Liam and the BC Sprint with Silver Train. Last year, Kip Deville won the BC Mile. The son of the late Maryland This year has been sensational. Big Brown was sent to his barn after IEAH Stable bought a 75 percent share of the bay colt for a reported $3 million. On the same day Big Brown won the Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Fla., on March 29, Dutrow won two rich races in Dubai with Benny the Bull and Diamond Stripes. When IEAH was looking to bring in a trainer when they began upgrading their stable a few years ago, they turned to Dutrow.

The Lakers beat the Nuggets 107-101 to sweep the series. ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant agreed on what separated their All-Star studded teams in their lopsided first-round playoff series; teamwork. "Talent-wise, I don't think they're better than us. Team-wise, I think they're better than us," Anthony said of the apparent gap during the Lakers' impressive sweep of the bedraggled Nuggets. The Lakers are moving on after turning the Nuggets from a team that was giddy just to reach the postseason in the power-packed Western Conference into a gloomy bunch that trudged off the court Monday night as the first 50-win team in NBA history to get shut out in the playoffs. "They have a lot of talent," Bryant said. "But a lot of times it's not necessarily the amount of talent you have on a team but it's the chemistry within that talent and how well you play together. I'm very fortunate to be on a team where everybody just meshes. We all work well with one another." Like too many bulldogs on a playground, the Nuggets, on the other hand, don't play well together. They feature two superstars in 'Melo and Allen Iverson, who started alongside each other in the All-Star Game, plus another player who probably should have in Marcus Camby, the league's premiere rebounder. Kenyon Martin resurrected his career after two knee surgeries, J.R. Smith's game and maturity took giant leaps in 2007-08 and Anthony Carter started 67 times after playing just two games last year. Linas Kleiza and Eduardo Najera added versatility to their games, giving the Nuggets one of the best benches in basketball even with Nene missing most of the season with testicular cancer and various injuries. The Nuggets won 50 games for the first time in 20 years, tallying just seven fewer wins than the top-seeded Lakers. Yet, Denver lost to the Lakers by an average of 13 points. Coach George Karl, whose job is safe according to Mark Warkentien, the team's vice president of basketball operations, accepted that the Nuggets were never going to play defense for 48 minutes or cut to the basket whenever 'Melo or A.I. had the ball. He just hoped the explosiveness that allowed them to slice into deficits so often during the season would show up at the right time in the playoffs. It didn't. And so the Nuggets were bounced out of the first round for the fifth-straight season. Only this time, they didn't even win their customary one game before getting a jump on their summer vacation. With a lot of immovable parts with hefty contracts that make up one of the highest payrolls in the NBA at over $80 million, the Nuggets' options are limited as they search for a solution to their one-and-done rut. "I definitely think our team has made a big step forward this season. But I think the Western Conference is amazing" and only going to get better next year, Karl said. So, how are the Nuggets going to keep pace, and actually advance instead of continuing to serve as first-round fodder? The solution seems so simple: Play as hard in front of your basket as you do in front of your opponent's. Jewish leaders urge boycott OLYMPICS BY ERIC GORSKI ASSOCIATED PRESS A wide-ranging group of U.S. Jewish leaders plans to release a statement Wednesday urging Jews worldwide to boycott the Summer Olympics in Beijing, citing China's troubling record on human rights and Tibet. The statement also notes China's close relationships with Iran, Syria and the militant group Hamas. So far, 175 rabbis, seminary officials and other prominent Jews have signed the declaration, which comes shortly before Holocaust Remembrance Day on Friday, organizers said. "We are deeply troubled by China's support for the genocidal government of Sudan; its mistreatment of the people of Tibet; its denial of basic rights to its own citizens; and its provision of missiles to Iran and Syria, and friendship for Hamas," the statement reads. "Having endured the bitter experience of abandonment by our presumed allies during the Holocaust, we feel a particular obligation to speak out against injustice and persecution today." Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, past chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, said signers are not alleging that the Chinese government is the equivalent of the Nazi regime, but that China, like Germany in 1936, is trying to use the Olympics as a public relations tool to deflect attention from its record. The declaration was organized Olympic organizers' plans for a kosher kitchen at the Olympic Village, where athletes stay. Greenberg characterized the move as an attempt to lure Jewish tourists by presenting an image of sensitivity. The deck by Greenberg and Rabbi Haskel Lookstein of New York and the Washington-based David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies. "I would say in principle, athletes and tourists and governments should all draw the same conclusion to this." Greenberg Several representatives of "Unless the Chinese make some significant corrections, they should not participate." YITZ GREENBERG Rabbi Judaism's major U.S. branches and large Jewish institutions signed on. They include Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism; Neil Goldstein and Richard Gordon of the American Jewish Congress; and Rabbi Joel Meyers, executive vice president of the Rabbinical Assembly. said. "Unless the Chinese make some significant corrections, they should not participate." The statement seizes on Meyers said he hopes the declaration is interpreted as a call for Israel and Jewish athletes worldwide to boycott the games, although he doubts such a boycott will come to pass. "It would be good if that happened," Meyers said. "(But) I know Israel has political ties to China, and does business with China. It presents a somewhat awkward issue for Israel." WORLD WORLD Judge says he can't ban Internet video of sex acts accessible from France — like all others on the Web — is not enough to justify French jurisdiction," Boyer wrote. PARIS — A judge said Tuesday it was not within his jurisdiction to ban an Internet video of motor racing chief Max Mosley with prostitutes, but he ordered the French recall of newspapers containing photos of the scene. Judge Joel Boyer said he couldn't ban access to a Web site of the British tabloid the News of the World, which had carried a video with images of the scene, because the site is owned and based in Britain. Mosley's lawyer, "The mere fact that this site is However, Boyer said French law did cover copies of the newspaper printed in France and ordered issues containing photos of the scene that are still available in the country to be recalled. He ordered a penalty of $2,335 per infraction be applied if the recall is not respected. In his decision, Boyer wrote the scenes were clearly"sadomasochistic stagings of sexual fantasies" that merit protection under privacy laws. most intimate aspects of private life, with its element of shadow and mystery that no one should be forced to explain to a third party' the judge wrote. "Sexual practices between consenting adults are among the The News of the World reported earlier this month that Mosley engaged in sex acts with five prostitutes that involved Nazi role-playing. A video posted on the newspaper's Web site showed a man identified as Mosley arriving at an apartment and then engaging in various sex acts with several women, at least one in a prisoner's uniform, while also speaking German. MLB Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS Cardinals remember Hancock one year later ST.LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals observed the one-year anniversary of reliever Josh Hancock's fatal crash without fan-fare. Everything appeared to be business as usual on Tuesday for the team, which canceled a scheduled game on April 29, 2007, after Hancock's early morning, drunkendriving accident near downtown. A memorial sticker with Hancock's initials and his uniform number 32 has been on the back wall of the bullpen since the accident, not far from another sticker in memory of Darryl Kile, but the anniversary was not mentioned in the team's daily game notes package. "I think you always mark it; manager Tony La Russa said. "It's definitely not a day like any other" But he wasn't sure if the accident left a lasting impact on players. "I haven't seen anything too dramatic," La Russa said. "Don't you read the paper every day? Isn't there something in the paper every day about tragedies and mistakes? "But when it's a member of your family I think it does get your attention in a special way." The Cardinals banned alcohol in the clubhouse in the wake of the accident, and banned alcohol on return flights home. La Russa thought the clubhouse ban was mostly symbolic, given that most players don't hang out for hours after games, yet he thought it was sending the proper message. “It's crossing every 'T' and dotting every 'I', and I agree it should be done," La Russa said. "But there wasn't anything happening here where guys were walking out of here staggering." appointment after informing the team of elbow pain after allowing one run in four innings on April 22 at Milwaukee. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday. The second game against the Reds came a day after an elbow injury provided a reprieve from a minor league demotion for reliever Brad Thompson. He kept a doctor's Thompson had been optioned to Triple-A Memphis when infielder Brendan Ryan was activated from a rehab assignment. He has not appeared since the demotion. "I've been kind of battling with stuff all year," said Thompson, 1-1 with a 4.58 ERA in six games, including two starts. "It just started to get worse. "The last game that I threw in, I told the doc after the game I'd like to see the doc. I got sent down the next day but still kept my appointment to see him." La Russa said Thompson hadn't said anything about his elbow. He wasn't that surprised, reasoning that pitchers often deal with aches and soreness and perhaps Thompson was just waiting for it to subside.

League ballpark and helped the Jayhawks win 3-0. Hall blanked the Tigers through seven innings and earned his third victory of the season. Hall was lights out Tuesday night, getting out of jams and making big pitches. Through his seven innings of play, Hall allowed no runs on four hits and struck out three. This night was even more nostalgic for Hall, the Lee Summit West graduate who had grown up as a Royals fan. "All my pitches were working today," Hall said. "I was able to locate them, move them in and out, and the defense played great behind me. I couldn't ask for a better effort." "I have grown up a Kansas City Royals fan my whole life and this is my first game playing in Kauffman stadium," Hall said. "Every summer I come out to 10 to 15 games and tonight was just awesome. Playing in front of all my family and friends, it was just great." trol and play baseball." The Jayhawks were supposed to face off against the Missouri Tigers last year inside Kauffman stadium, but because of rain the game was canceled. This was the first time the Jayhawks have played in a Major League park this season and they fared well against the No.14 Tigers. "The fact that it was in Kauffman stadium with such a great crowd, helps out and for both teams it was a great environment," coach Ritch Price said.

The Royals designated Nomo for assignment on April 20, then requested unconditional release walvers five days later. The 39-year-old Nomo had an 18.69 ERA in three relief appearances, allowing nine runs and 10 hits, including three home runs, in 4-1-3 innings. Nomo had not pitched in the majors since 2005 before making a comeback this year with the Royals. Nomo's 123 victories in the majors is the most by any Japanese pitcher.

Stern not to testify in SuperSonics case NEW YORK — NBA commissioner David Stern will not be ordered to testify in a case brought by the city of Seattle to try to keep the SuperSonics from moving, though a federal judge may consider ordering the testimony in the future. U. S. District Judge Loretta Preska rejected most of the requests of the lawyers for the city of Seattle, saying she didn't think some of the information they were seeking from the NBA was necessary to press their claims. Preska had been asked to decide what evidence the city can seek from the NBA before a June 16 trial in federal court in Seattle to decide whether the Sonics must complete the final two years of a lease agreement for Seattle's KeyArena, the NBA's smallest venue. Turkoglu named NBA's most improved player ORLANDO, Fla. — Hedo Turkoglu, whose 19 points, five rebounds and five assists per game helped the Orlando Magic win their first division title in 12 years, was selected as the NBA's most improved player. Turkoglu's numbers marked career highs in each category, and dramatic improvements from 13 points, four rebounds and three assists last season. He earned back-to-back Eastern Conference player of the week awards in late January and early February and was named player of the month for April. Commissioners discuss Bowl Championship HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — As they kicked off three days of meetings at an oceanfront resort, the Bowl Championship Series overseers appear to have a better chance of getting a sunburn than making any major changes in the controversial system. Still, the commissioners of the 11 major college football conferences, along with Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White, will have their most detailed discussions to date of the plus-one model, which could use two bowls as semifinals and another as a national title game, with the four participants seeded. That conversation will take place Wednesday, with Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive leading it. Smyth may not play for Game 3 because of injury Game 3 because of injury DENVER — The Colorado Avalanche expect to have center Peter Forsberg and defenseman Scott Hannan back for Game 3 against the Detroit Red Wings, but forward Ryan Smyth is out with a foot injury.

Associated Press 》 NASCAR SIMPSON Coca-Cola TOYOTA SUBWAY SIMPSON NASCAR driver Tony Stewart waves to the fans at the Texas Motor Speedway during introductions before the NASCAR Sprint Cup series Samsung 500 auto race April 6 in Fort Worth, Texas. Stewart is apparently testing the free agent market, in search of a deal that likely would make the two-time champion NASCAR's highest paid driver — but also could drive him out of Joe Gibbs Racing. Stewart may leave Joe Gibbs Racing ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If winning really and truly is the most important thing to Tony Stewart, then he'll be hard pressed to find an acceptable reason to leave Joe Gibbs Racing. But his decision to test the free agent market is based on so much more than wins and losses, and that's why Stewart might very well walk away from a team that has currently established itself as the best in NASCAR. The two-time NASCAR champion embarked on a whirlwind media tour to explain his decision, joking at one point he'd talked more with reporters at Talladega Superspeedway last weekend than he'd spoken to his own mother over the past two years. He's won 32 races and a pair of championships with crew chief Greg Zipadelli by his side and car owner Joe Gibbs stunchly in his corner — no matter the drama and distractions. Even Stewart, who was humble and humorous during media availability last weekend, was adamant there is no compelling reason to leave JGR when his contract expires at the end of 2009. "It's not that we're looking to leave, there's nothing wrong," he said. "Nothing's broke, nothing needs to be fixed. Everything is really good where we're at right now." Stewart has been smart with his money and has enough tucked away to retire today and still maintain his current But it's not so crazy for Stewart to listen to offers, with many dangling team ownership options. requires money, and by exploring free agency, Stewart is driving up his selling price. No matter where he lands, it's going to cost Gibbs or any other team a ton of cash to sign him — certainly enough for Stewart to support his diverse business portfolio for a long time coming. TONY STEWART NASCAR driver Then comes the ownership aspect. Being in charge appeals to him, and running a race team Now whether he actually takes one of the offers — which could make him NASCAR's highest-paid driver and give him a guaranteed role in the industry long after he hangs up his helmet — remains "To the best of my knowledge, I've never seen or heard about offers like this."

"It doesn't cost a dime to listen, so we're definitely interested in some of the offers that have come across. To the best of my knowledge, I've never seen or heard about offers like this. It's something that I feel like, to be 0right to ourselves, we have to take the opportunity to at least explore those options and listen to what everybody has to say." lifestyle. But he's also built a small empire, collecting a handful of race tracks and fielding cars for four different drivers at Tony Stewart Racing. He also has his own public relations firm in True Speed Communications, plus other business interests. Running all that "I never thought (ownership) would even be an option, but I have to admit — that is something that has been intriguing about this so far gives Stewart a challenge away from his own race car. is the possibility," he said.
